Chapter 436 Black Mountain Bandit Zhang Yan! 【Ask for monthly ticket】
General of the Central Army to Suppress the Rebellion? Isn't this the official title of Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain bandit?
Lu Bu sucked his teeth, damn, I haven't had time to find trouble with you yet, but you come first.
He took the intercom to communicate with Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others, and arranged for the army to turn around after resting, set up an ambush near Yuci, and teach Zhang Yan a lesson.
Zhang Yan's real name is Chu Yan. The leader of the Black Mountain bandits, Zhang Niu Jiao, was hit by a stray arrow and was in danger. He ordered his men to follow Chu Yan as the leader.
In order to repay this favor, Chu Yan changed his name to Zhang Yan and became the leader of the million-strong Black Mountain Army. He occupied the Taihang Mountains, occupied Shangdang, Changshan and other places, and often sent troops to harass Henei and Jizhou.
In addition, he colluded with the Wuhuan in Yanmen and Daijun and the Tuge tribe of the Xiongnu, plundering everywhere and causing trouble.
Lu Bu originally planned to take Taiyuan County to rest, and then take Shangdang in the spring of next year, and wipe out the Black Mountain Army and eliminate a scourge for the people on both sides of Taihang Mountain.
Unexpectedly, this guy actually came here on his own initiative. That's right, let's weaken him first.
It would be better if Zhang Yan could be killed, but this guy is very slippery and may not be caught.
The entry of the Black Mountain bandit surprised Xun You:
"Is this the support requested by the Wang family?"
Originally, after taking Jinyang, it was time to return to Chang'an for the winter, and continue the campaign after the Spring Festival. Unexpectedly, the Black Mountain bandit jumped out to show his presence.
The time to return to Chang'an seems to be postponed!
Xun You lit a Furong King, opened the tablet, and carefully looked at the high-definition map on it.
Ma Chao, who was standing aside, was full of fighting spirit and took the initiative to ask for battle:
"Mr. Gongda, can I go to help Wen Hou?"
After speaking, this guy handed over the ashtray with a discerning look.
Xun You flicked the ash off his cigarette, stared at the map and said:
"If the Black Mountain bandits were all cavalry, the battle would be over before you arrived, and Jinyang would have been taken by then. You would have wasted all your time on the road... If you want to expand your victory now, don't focus on the troops coming to Taiyuan."
Gao Shun nodded and agreed:
"Mr. Gongda is right. We really can't just focus on the troops here."
Little Mengqi was confused by the conversation between the two. If he didn't focus on this group of troops, who else should he focus on?
Just as he was about to ask, Hao Zhao calmly pointed to Shangdang County on the map next to him, and Ma Chao immediately reacted: "General, Mr. Gongda, are you talking about occupying Shangdang County?" Xun You took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Although the Black Mountain bandits are said to have a million people, their combat power is not good. In the original book, Wen Hou drove them from the vicinity of Jizhou to the north with a cavalry, and killed many main forces... Now Zhang Yan is leading his troops to help Taiyuan, and Shangdang's defense must be empty, so someone can occupy it." As he was talking, Cheng Yu's voice came from the intercom next to him: "Gongda, since the Black Mountain bandits are here, do you think we should suggest that Wen Hou take Shangdang into his pocket?" Look, this is the benefit of having many top counselors. You can seize the opportunity from clues and expand the results of the battle! Xun You picked up the intercom and said:
"I was thinking the same thing, but Marquis Wen is busy making Zhang Yan's dumplings, so he can't spare any time. The new army in Hedong has no fighting power... We can only let General Han Sheng in Henei go."
"That's great!"
With just a few words, the two of them formulated a strategy to capture Shangdang.
Even if they can't take the entire county of Shangdang, at least they can occupy a part of the territory.
Listening to the two top strategists making offensive plans in the air, Ma Chao quietly took a notebook to write it down, intending to review it later and develop the habit of thinking.
It's a pity that Brother Zhengfang is not here, otherwise they can share their experiences and make progress together.
After the discussion, Xun You dialed the intercom to the 666 channel exclusive to Lu Bu and told him the plan.
As soon as Lu Bu heard it, he agreed:
"I will arrange the action in Henei now."
He turned over and got off the horse, and used a few sticks to build a "door" casually, and quickly came to the real world.
At this time, Li Yu was on a video call with Zhou Ruotong and Diao Chan who had just flown to Chengdu. Seeing Lu Bu in a hurry, he asked curiously:
"What happened?"
"When we were preparing to besiege Jinyang, the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan led a large army to support the Wang family of Taiyuan. Gongda and Zhongde felt that the defense of Shangdang was empty now, so Han Sheng could lead the troops to attack and expand the results of the battle."
Wow, Zhang Yan took the initiative to stuff a pillow when I was dozing off.
Li Yu wanted to go to the scenic spot to convey the news, but then he remembered that his old mother was away on a long trip, and Hou Tu Niangniang was responsible for guarding the Wahuang Palace.
Godmother is not in good health, so let's find another way to convey the news.
He came to the door of Room 202 and called the empress who was taking a nap:
"The black mountain bandits entrenched in Shangdang have gone to Taiyuan County. Let Zhang Daoling inform Xu Rong, Huang Zhong and Dong Zhao to quickly send troops to Shangdang and occupy as much territory as possible."
Mu Guiying rubbed her eyes and said:
"Oh, I'll go right away. I'm so sleepy. I won't stay up late to play games anymore."
The girl was about to go downstairs in her slippers. She saw watermelons in the study, picked up two, and returned to Mu Kezhai.
Since you want to trouble Old Zhang, you have to give him some benefits.
Three Kingdoms world, Henei County, County Magistrate's Mansion.
Dong Zhao had just returned from the debate on the classics at Chang's house. When he was about to recommend talents to Xu Rong, he saw a middle-aged Taoist priest with golden light all over his body falling from the sky.
Fuck, there really is a fairy!
Xu Rong's eyes were active. When he saw Zhang Daoling, he quickly saluted:
"Henei Prefect Xu Rong, meet the fairy!"
Although I didn't know what happened, since the god came forward, I still saluted quickly and announced my home status to save the old god's time.
Seeing him say this, Dong Zhao also saluted:
"Shi Dong Zhao, the governor of Hanoi Prefecture, pays homage to the Immortal Chief."
Huang Zhong put on his armor and bowed accordingly.
Zhang Daoling was very happy that the three of them were so polite. He said:
"Zhang Yan led his army to help the Wang family in Taiyuan. Shangdang is empty. The Holy Son orders you to immediately send troops to attack Shangdang and expel the Black Mountain Army!"
After saying that, he waved his whisk, and a round watermelon fell from the sky, hovering directly in front of Xu Rong:
"This melon is given by the Holy Son. I wish you three great success!"
As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Daoling's figure swayed and disappeared.
Xu Rong held the watermelon in his arms and bowed to the void again, feeling as if he was dreaming.
Huang Zhong had excitement on his face:
"Before I came here, I asked Marquis Wen what to do if there was an emergency and the walkie-talkie failed to notify me. He said to ask the gods for help. I thought it was a joke at the time, but I didn't expect that we can really transmit information through the gods."
Dong Zhao wiped away the tears shed due to excitement and bowed to the sky again and again:
"Even the gods are on our side, and the rise of the great man is unstoppable!"
Only Xu Rong was relatively calm and said to the two of them:
"Don't ask gods to come down to earth unless it's an emergency, so as not to cause karma to them... The Black Mountain thieves actually rushed to the aid of the Wang family in Taiyuan. It's really their own fault!"
He came to the office carrying the watermelon, cut it with a knife, and handed a piece to Dong Zhao:
"The red flesh can be eaten directly, the skin can be peeled, and it can be eaten cold or stir-fried. Previously, in Hulao Pass, a certain person ate watermelon for the first time. He thought he should eat it with the skin, but Cao Xing, Wei Xu and others laughed. long time."
Dong Zhaogong cupped his hands, took the watermelon with both hands, and took a tentative bite. He was immediately fascinated by the sweetness and texture of the watermelon:
"It's so delicious?"
Xu Rong handed a piece to Huang Zhong, picked a piece himself, then pointed to the remaining watermelon and said to Dong Zhao:
"Go and give it to your family to have a taste. Then You and Han Sheng will lead their troops to set off. I will send someone to Luoyang to report it. By the way, I will transfer Guo Yuan to defend Gong County and Ji County."
The territory of Hanoi County included the current areas of Jiaozuo, Xinxiang, Hebi, Anyang, etc. However, these place names did not exist at that time, and they were all ancient names.
As for the northern part of Hanoi County, there are also Longlu County, which is near Anyang Linzhou, and Dangyin County, which is Tangyin, Yue Fei's hometown.
However, these two counties are only a few dozen miles away from Yecheng, the seat of Jizhou, and have already been occupied by Yuan Shao's men.
Therefore, the defense line against Jizhou can only be established in Gongxian and Jixian, which are now Huixian and Weihui areas. As long as Guo Yuan can establish the defense line, Xu Rong can carry out drastic reforms in Hanoi County.
Dong Zhao sent the watermelon home. Not long after, he rushed back with some changes of clothes and said something about the cold melon rind:
"It's crispy and raw, paired with vinegar and sesame oil. It has a unique taste. If I could eat this every day, Zhao would rather lose ten years of his life!"
Xu Rong smiled and said:
"We will start planting watermelons next spring. If conditions permit, we can also build some plastic greenhouses so that we can eat vegetables and fruits in the winter."
After talking about this, Xu Rong opened the map of Hanoi County and said:
"I just read it again. If you want to enter Shangdang County, you must first capture Tianjing Pass, which is a small pass directly north of Yewang. After capturing it, you can march straight in and besiege Gaodu County."
Gaodu County is now Jincheng, Shanxi Province. The Jincheng Basin to which it belongs is not only rich in grain, but also has massive minerals and coal.
Once Huang Zhong and Dong Zhao capture Gaodu County, they will occupy the entire Jincheng Basin.
Then go all the way north, and then take Xu County into your pocket, and then you can lead your army directly to Hukou Pass, the throat of the Shangdang Basin.
After passing Huguan, there is Changzi County, the seat of Shangdang County. The historically famous Battle of Changping took place in the area of Changzi and Gaoping.
Xu Rong said:
"Although the Black Mountain bandits are weak in defense, they should not be underestimated. In addition, our troops are not very sufficient, so we only need to win the Jincheng Basin in this battle. Don't be greedy for credit or love fighting."
Dong Zhao had just enjoyed the gift from the gods and was fighting with the army for the first time. He took the initiative to add a task to himself:
"Add Hukou Pass and retain the initiative to attack Changzi County."
Hukou Pass is the entrance and exit of the Shangdang Basin. After passing this pass, you can not only enter the Shangdang Basin, but also pass through Baixing in the Taihang Mountains and go straight to Gongxian County, which is now Huixian County.
Hukou Pass, Tianjing Pass, and Fukou Pass are the entrances and exits for Shangdang County to attack the North China Plain, so there is a saying that those who win the party win the Central Plains.
When Zhao and Qin started a tug-of-war in the Shangdang area, it was also because once Qin captured this area, Zhao would be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, with no danger to defend.
Dong Zhao and Huang Zhong brought the necessary supplies and equipment such as walkie-talkies, drones, portable solar power panels, unified the army, and headed northwest of Hanoi County.
Xu Rong sent them off, quickly arranged for people to report to Luoyang, and applied for Guo Yuan to lead troops into Hanoi County for support.
This series of actions attracted several big families in Hanoi to come to inquire about the situation.
Some people asked insinuating whether there was going to be a war, and some were curious if it was Yuan Benchu who was the fourth generation and the third prince. Some people were worried about the Black Mountain bandits making trouble and planned to move to Chenliu or Yecheng, which was safer.
Each of these two places is more dangerous than the other, and no one of you has the eyes to jump into pitfalls... Xu Rong frowned, and sent these families away on the pretext of suppressing bandits.
In the real world, after listening to Li Yu's introduction, the little emperor Liu Xie stood in front of the map with his little hands behind his back and gestured for a long time, and then said:
"Zilong and Gongjin are now in Yize County. As long as they cross the mountain, they can enter the Shangdang area, attack Yang'a County, and then join Huang Zhong and Dong Zhao's troops."
Hey, from the looks of it, it seems that it is not difficult to win over the Shangdang.
Liu Xie hurriedly returned to Chang'an, communicated with Jia Xu and others, and soon contacted Zhao Yun through the walkie-talkie and gave him new combat orders.
Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu entered Shangdang County with 10,000 soldiers, and all the food and grass they needed were provided by Du Ji, the governor of Hedong.
As for the direction of Taiyuan County, Jia Xu ordered Xun You and Lu Bu to attack the Black Mountain Army, and then followed Zhang Yanlai's route to pursue them into Shangdang County and wipe out all the bandits in Shangdang County.
Sun Facai chewed mint candy and said:
"Damn it, it feels like we are just like making noodles. If there is too much water, add noodles. If there is too much noodles, add water. We accidentally took over the whole of Shanxi."
I vaguely remember that when we sent out troops, we captured Hedong County and prepared to withdraw. As a result, the attack got higher and higher, and the more territory we occupied, the more territory we occupied. The plan of the army to return to Chang'an to rest was repeatedly pushed back.
Jia Xu smiled and said:
"After this war, we really need to rest and recuperate for a while. We need to digest the occupied territory, build water conservancy and roads, eliminate banditry, carry out land reform, normalize grievance meetings and public trials, and firmly control the people's hearts."
The support of the people is very conducive to the rule of the imperial court. Once his reputation spreads, if he attacks Jizhou, Youzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and other places, not only will the people not resist, but they will even welcome him.
The Three Kingdoms were temporarily unable to contact Lu Bu, so Liu Xie could only come to the real world to give orders to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu had already found a river valley location and prepared a surprise gift package for Zhang Yan:
"It seems that Mr. Wenhe wants to take Shangdang County directly. This is good, so as to avoid the discomfort of being unable to win... By the way, Your Majesty, has the candidate for Shangdang Prefect been confirmed?"
"Xun You will take over for the time being and will be transferred to another position once a suitable candidate is found."
The candidate for the Shangdang governor must be chosen well. After all, he is in close combat with Yuan Shao. If he is instigated to rebel, it will be too much to gain.
In addition, you should not be too ambitious. If you have just secured the position of prefect and have the thought "I can replace you", this will not encourage the bandit's self-respect.
In addition, the Black Mountain bandits are raging in the territory, so we need to find a strong person to suppress them.
Xun You acted prudently, but was not stuck in small details. He was able to grasp the opportunity keenly and deal with various complicated situations. He was the best person to guard Shangdang County.
Lu Bu thought this proposal was good and said to Liu Xie:
"After entering Shangdang County, I went all the way south, dumped all kinds of materials, erected signal towers and the like, rushed to Hanoi County, built a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River, and went to Luoyang to build a signal tower. "
Everything must be arranged in place for this trip. Not only does the court need to cooperate, but Li Yu also has to purchase all the equipment in advance.
"Don't worry, Marquis Wen, I will fully cooperate with your work."
After being busy with Hanoi and Luoyang, Lu Bu still had to go to Hedong County to get a complete set of salt-making equipment, build a signal tower and supporting wind power station, and then turn to Taiyuan to build a signal tower, and then make an appointment with Sun Facai Go to the oil base and add some oil production-related equipment.
This journey was very twists and turns, but fortunately there was no need to fight, Lu Bu could handle most of the journey by driving his own car.
After returning to Chang'an for a short rest, he will go to Wancheng to preside over the construction of a hydropower station, and collect some oil and water from Yuan Shu and Liu Biao.
The busiest person in the True Three Kingdoms!
Liu Xie said:
"How about I go to Hedong County and inspect the salt pond to give Du Ji some confidence in his work. As for the oil base, I will also work with Teacher Sun. Anyway, there are outposts along the way and it is very safe."
Although the relationship has not yet been made clear, Liu Xie already regards Lu Bu as his father-in-law.
My father-in-law has to travel thousands of miles before the Spring Festival, which makes Liu Xie feel a little distressed.
Lu Bu thought for a while and said:
"It's okay to go to Hedong, but forget it to the oil base. If you go there, you may not know what trouble Changshengtian will cause."
The heavy snowfall in Zhending Mansion was caused by that little guy. If he heard that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty had gone to the border, that guy wouldn't be able to jump up and down to lure the foreigners to besiege him.
Although we, Lao Lu, like to make nests for fishing, I still feel a little reluctant to use the emperor to make nests.
What's more, this emperor is the good grandson of Empress Nuwa, the good apprentice of Li Xiandi, and the good son-in-law of our old Lu... If he wants to have something good and bad, the B\u0026B, the master, and the family will not let him go.
Forget it, let's think of some other ways.
Lu Bu brought some artillery shells supported by Mu Guiying and went to the book world excitedly, gathering enough energy to surprise Zhang Yan.
Liu Xie didn't stay too long. He ate some fruit juice made by Li Yu and thought it tasted amazing, so he quietly went back with a portion, intending to let Lu Lingqi try it.
Mu Guiying ate the fruit and said:
"The little crab won't be addicted to women, right?"
Li Shimin analyzed:
"No, if he dares to indulge, Lu Lingqi will most likely beat him up."
Yuwen Chengdu asked with a smile:
"What about you? If you indulge in women, will Changsun Wugou beat you up too?"
When Xiao Shimin heard this, he immediately puffed up his chest and said:
"How can we, a great man, be bullied by a weak woman?"
Mu Guiying quickly took her mobile phone to record this conversation, and said with a smile:
"I'll ask Zhang Daoling to put these words into Miss Wuguo's dream later and see if she will pinch you."
Li Shimin quickly begged for mercy:
"Sister Wu Guo is weak, Third Master, please don't scare her."
In order to change the subject, this guy took the initiative to ask:
"When are you and your husband going to get married?"
Mu Guiying immediately became mute and went to the kitchen to add ice on the pretext that there was too little ice in the fruit basket.
In the world of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu used a walkie-talkie to convey Liu Xie's arrangements and handed over the command of the attack on Jinyang to Cheng Yu.
After Xun You handed over, he led Ma Chao and Hao Zhao all the way east to meet Lu Bu.
Not long after, birds and beasts fled in all directions, the earth began to shake, and the black mountain cavalry rushed from the direction of Shangdang...
Lu Bu found the Chinese army where Zhang Yan was, put down his telescope, picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered:
"The artillery is ready, aim at the Chinese army and fire!"
