The 262nd chapter said that Zhang Yan lion opened his mouth
Chapter 262 Speaking of Zhang Yan’s lion speaking
Yuan Shao likes to play with balance, and he never minds when his men fight with each other. There is just one thing, no matter how fierce they fight with each other, they cannot be shown in front of him. Guo Tu was so anxious that he actually said that he was confusing right and wrong, which made Yuan Shao feel
, Guo Tu was implying that he was a foolish king. So, Yuan Shao laughed and said: "Don't be impatient, sir. Even if you commit adultery, you have to go to court first and listen to Yuan Tu's explanation!"
"It's broken!" Guo Tu realized his mistake and had no time to make up for it. Seeing Yuan Shao's expression of surprise, he had no choice but to sigh and sit down quietly.
Seeing that Guo Tu actually committed a taboo, Feng Ji breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly and said, "My Lord, do you know how many Yellow Turban thieves there are in Montenegro?"
"About 200,000!" Yuan Shao had also read military reports, so he naturally knew the situation.
"There are two hundred thousand young men, plus hundreds of thousands of old, weak, women and children!" Feng Jixiao asked, "My lord, do you think there are too many soldiers?"
"This..." Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Of course I don't mind having too many troops! But will Zhang Yan sincerely surrender?"
"My lord, whether Zhang Yan is sincere or not does not depend on Zhang Yan or Zhengnan, but on the lord!" Feng Ji said with a smile: "Everyone in the world talks about how the Marquis of Huaiyin is, but when Gaozu was still alive, could the Marquis of Huaiyin have any different intentions? If the lord treats Zhang Yan
Undress him and push him to eat. If Zhang Yan betrays the lord again, heaven will not tolerate him!"
"That makes sense!" Yuan Shao was very happy, not because Feng Ji's words were reasonable, nor because he could get a great general, but because Feng Ji said he looked like Emperor Gaozu. None of the Yuan brothers wanted to be emperor, and becoming Emperor Gaozu was
The goal in Yuan Shao's heart.
"Humph!" Guo Tu couldn't help but snorted coldly when he saw Feng Ji escape for trial.
"What do you think of Gongze?" Hearing the snort, Yuan Shao frowned. Of course, Guo Tu was not dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, but this cold snort was too easy for people to misunderstand.
"What my lord said is true, how can I have any objections? I just had a slightly itchy nose just now!" Guo Tu hummed a few times to cover up his embarrassment.
"Since all the gentlemen have no objections, let Zhengnan try to recruit Zhang Yan!" Yuan Shao waved his hand, and everyone retreated voluntarily. Guo Tu and Feng Ji walked out of the hall, and there seemed to be sparks in their eyes!
Two days later, Shenpei received Feng Ji's reply and Yuan Shao's order at the same time. After reading the letter and the order, Shenpei sighed sadly: "If it weren't for Yuan Tu, I would have given up waiting! General Gao, please order someone to contact Zhang Yan!"
"Yes!" Gao Lan was worried about not being able to fulfill Yuan Shao's order. Now that things have turned around, he was naturally very happy, but he didn't know how closely Shen Pei, Feng Ji, and even Yuan Shang were involved!
On the mountainside of Black Mountain, in a hidden forest, there is a mountain stronghold. In the big tent in the middle of the stronghold, Zhang Yan is sitting, and in front of Zhang Yan, kneeling is a soldier wearing Yuan Jun's military uniform and his head wrapped in black cloth.
"What did Yuan Benchu ask you to do?" Zhang Yan asked casually while playing with the soldier's sword, but the soldier below was a little trembling.
"Return...general...Master Shen asked me to come..." Being tied up, with a black cloth wrapped around his head, and being in the enemy camp, even a general would be worried, let alone an ordinary soldier.
"Why did the judge ask you to come here?" Zhang Yan didn't even look at the pawn. If it hadn't been for the recent shortage of food and grass, he would have ordered this pawn to be chopped into pieces. Even Tao Qian could tell who the Yuan brothers were.
Zhang Yan was able to choose the right lord among the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, and his vision was certainly good.
"Military Judge, no! My lord wants to recruit the general to surrender..." The soldier was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
"Are you Yuan Shao, or are you sent by the judge?" Zhang Yan's tone became more severe, but his face was full of smiles. Unfortunately, the pawn's eyes were covered, so he didn't know that Zhang Yan was playing tricks on him.
"I..." The soldier was very puzzled. Shen Pei and Yuan Shao were from the same family, so who was the faction and not the faction? But he stammered and didn't know what to do.
Seeing the panic of the little soldier, the big man next to Zhang Yan also wanted to play tricks on him. The big man slammed the table and said: "Yuan Benchu is too rude. Since he wants to recruit my general, at least send someone with weight.
You are just a pawn, and you want to recruit him? I think he has evil intentions!"
"No!" Hearing what the big man said, the soldier thought that Zhang Yan wanted to take refuge, so he quickly kowtowed: "General, don't get me wrong, I'm just here to explore the way. If the general is interested, the military advisor will come to discuss with the general!"
"Okay!" Hearing what the soldier said, Zhang Yan said with a smile: "In that case, let's wait for your military judge to come and talk! Someone, send him down the mountain!"
"Thank you, General!" The soldier knelt on the ground and thanked him profusely. In the end, two yellow scarves carried him away.
In ancient times, delivering letters and issuing letters of challenge was basically a life-threatening job. Although the two armies were fighting without killing envoys, if you encountered someone who was unreasonable, no matter what your rules, just kill them first. Be polite and ask for some parts.
Hey. Cutting off the nose, cutting off the ears, gouging out the eyes, and chopping off the limbs are all normal. Zhang Yan let the pawn go so easily, how could the pawn not be grateful and burst into tears! Of course, Zhang Yan didn't torment the pawn out of kindness, but wanted to kidnap the pawn for trial.
Some food and grass.
After the soldier came down from the mountain, he immediately reported the situation on the mountain to the judge. However, the soldier's eyes were blindfolded and he really couldn't figure out where the Black Mountain Army's stronghold was. The judge knew that Zhang Yan was cautious, so he stopped playing tricks. After several times,
After getting in touch, Zhang Yan finally agreed to meet with Shen Pei.
At the foot of the Black Mountain, four or five yellow turbans were waiting. Shen Pei brought Han Meng and Shi Shiran. A yellow turban thief handed the two two black cloth strips and said with a smile: "I've seen you two! Please come!"
Shen Pei and Han Meng took the black cloth and covered their eyes. With the support of the Yellow Turban Primary School, they walked for a long time before they heard someone salute and say hello. The two knew that this was Zhang Yan to prevent them from recognizing the path. After returning,
Turn your back and deny anyone!
"Okay! Take it off!" A slightly hoarse voice sounded. Shen Pei and Han Meng took off the black cloth blindfolded. They saw that they came to a large tent, and in the middle of the tent sat a sturdy man.
"I've met Zhang Qushuai!" Shen Pei and Han Meng bowed and saluted, and Zhang Yan returned the salute.
Zhang Yan asked with a smile: "I have admired Mr. Shen's name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was indeed extraordinary. A few days ago, Mr. Shen led troops to fight with me, and today he became my guest! I don't want to say more nonsense.
Yuan Benchu wants me to surrender, but he must set out conditions, tell me your conditions!"
The judge said with a smile: "My lord has admired Zhang Qushuai for a long time and hopes to meet Zhang Qushuai!"
"Mr. Shen, do you think I'm a fool? Don't talk in circles with me, tell me your bottom line directly. Otherwise, I don't mind using you to Yuan Shao in exchange for food!" Zhang Yan never thought about entrusting herself to Yuan Shao, how could she do that?
Go to see him?
"It seems that the relationship between my lord and Qu Shuai is still a little shallow!" Shen Pei said with a smile: "Actually, my lord has no other request. I just hope that Qu Shuai will help our army when they fight Liu Zhang!"
"What?" Zhang Yan asked in shock: "Yuan Shao wants to fight the champion?"
"Exactly!" Shen Pei said: "If we weren't worried about what the Black Mountain Army would do when our army was fighting Liu Zhang, our army would have already attacked Bingzhou!"
"Then the champion Hou is full of tricks, is Yuan Benchu his opponent?" Zhang Yan was more optimistic about Liu Zhang than Yuan Shao.
"My lord is a man of great talent and strategy, and the people of Jizhou are wealthy. A million-strong army is at our disposal at any time. Isn't it easy to deal with Liu Zhang?" Shen Pei looked confident, but Zhang Yan didn't quite believe it. Everyone can speak big words, but can tell the truth.
But not everyone can do it.
"You are not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue!" The big man who bowed his head to Zhang Yan sneered: "The champion Liu Zhang, the hero of the world! How powerful is it to break the black pill and attack the Xiongnu? Yuan Shao wants to break it, what's the dream with an idiot?
different?"
The judge smiled and asked: "May I ask this general, is Gongsun Zan a hero?"
"Of course he is a hero!" The big man who spoke was Zhang Yan's general general Du. His family was originally located at the border of Hebei and Hebei. One year, Wu Wan attacked the grass valley and killed his whole family. In his heart, anyone who can defeat foreigners
, is a hero!
"Gongsun Zan has repeatedly defeated black pills, and he is also a hero in the eyes of generals. However, when he met my lord, he had no choice but to commit suicide after defeat. How could he know that Liu Jiyu would not be another Gongsun Bogui?" Shen Pei looked impassioned, Yu Du said
Although I felt that what he said was wrong, I couldn't refute it and could only retreat in anger.
"Sir, you are so eloquent!" Zhang Yan clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Whether Liu Zhang will be the second Gongsun Bogui, I don't care! Now let me talk about the benefits Yuan Benchu is going to give me, and let me consider whether to help him or not.
Help the champion!"
The judge said with a smile: "I admire the general's quick words and quick words! My Lord has said that if the general surrenders, he can supply one million stones of food and grass to the general every year, and ask the imperial court to grant him the title of general!"
"I don't care whether the imperial court seals or not, and Yuan Benchu probably doesn't care either! I only care about food and grass!" Zhang Yan knocked on the table and said: "Mr. Shen, one million stones of food and grass is a lot, but the old, weak, women and children on the Black Mountain plus the soldiers will
There are only 500,000 horses and 2 dan of food per person per year. Isn’t that a little too little?”
Shen Pei said in astonishment: "General, you don't want my lord to raise troops and people for you!"
"Sir, what you said is wrong!" Zhang Yan said with a smile: "The people on the Black Mountain are also the people of Jizhou. Yuan Benchu is the lord of Jizhou, and he should support the people of Jizhou! However, many of the people are engaged in farming, and two stones of food is enough.
!But our soldiers need at least one grain per person per month!"
"This...the general wants too much!" The reviewer calculated and found that according to Zhang Yan's request, Yuan Shao would have to pay three million stones of grain and grass every year. Although Jizhou is a major grain-producing state, three million stones is too much.
After all, Yuan Shao had a lot of troops under his command.
"The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!" Zhang Yan said with a smile: "Originally, it would be okay to have fewer points, but this year Duke Yuan suddenly sent out troops, causing our army to miss the farming season. If there is no food, many people will definitely starve to death! By then,
Even if the soldiers mutiny, I can't stop it..."
"One and a half million stones!" Shen Pei said decisively: "We have many soldiers and consume a lot of food and grass. We really can't afford more!"
Zhang Yan said with a smile: "There are too many defeated soldiers under Mr. Yuan's command, such as those trash at the foot of the mountain. Let's get rid of them! Mr. Shen, why don't we each take a step back? If you provide two million stones of food and grass, I will submit to Mr. Yuan. Wait for Yuan
The Duke sends troops to annex the state, and our Montenegrin Army also sends troops to support it, how about that?"
The judge gritted his teeth and said, "How about we discuss it separately when I go back and report to the lord?"
"Okay!" Zhang Yan handed the black cloth strip to the judge again, and Han Meng said: "I'm waiting for good news!"
