Just as Xun Chen was about to leave, he was stopped by Zhang Qian and said in his heart,""Young Lady, is there anything else?"
"Sir, this plain is still the land of the Ji Prefecture. If we go to conquer it, will your lord not care? Sir, don't you know that Liu Bei is a descendant of the Han Emperor?”
Xun Chen was defeated and thought that this woman was really difficult to deal with. He said,""Miss, you are worrying too much. According to the laws of the Great Han Dynasty, a county cannot have more than a thousand soldiers. Now, Liu Bei has expanded his army nearly ten times behind the backs of the Imperial Court. As long as my family's Great Ginseng gives a copy, Liu Bei will be a traitor.”
"Since it's for the country to hunt down thieves, shouldn't your lord express his gratitude?”Zhang Qian had an idea.
As soon as Zhang Qian said that, these leaders looked at Xun Chen with burning eyes. Recently, they were indeed short of food. Otherwise, they would not have gone to borrow food from Han Fu.
"Young Lady, you don't know this. Originally, Jizhou had surplus grain, but Liu Bei sent people to borrow troops and even borrowed 100,000 grain.”
The meaning of Xun Chen's words was very clear. The grain had been given to Liu Bei. If you want the grain, go and fight Liu Bei. If you destroy Liu Bei, the grain will be yours.
Many of these leaders were Yellow Turban remnants who had a grudge against Liu Bei. They had long wanted to go and attack Liu Bei. Now that they had food and grass, how could they hold back? For a moment, the village was filled with requests for battle.
"Everyone, take your time to discuss. Xun Chen will take his leave.”Xun Chen didn't dare to stay any longer and left immediately.
After leaving the Black Mountain, Xun Chen let out a long sigh. He felt a chill down his spine.
After Xun Chen left, the stronghold fell silent again. Zhang Yan remained silent.
"Chief, say something.”The bearded Yu Wangen said anxiously.
"Did any of you see Liu Bei take away the provisions from Jizhou?”Zhang Yan was indeed very calm. There was no such thing as taking advantage of others for nothing.
One of the leaders stepped forward and said," Chief, according to my brothers, Liu Bei did take away 10,000 troops and tens of thousands of rations from Jizhou City. At that time, he even asked me to rob the rations. However, I did not dare to move when I heard that it was Liu Bei's troops."”
Zhang Yan took a look at the man and saw that he was indeed the leader of the bandits in Changshan. In fact, in Jizhou, Han Fu was in charge, but Zhang Yan was the underground emperor of this generation. Now that thieves were everywhere in the world, Zhang Yan was the leader of the thieves. If they really moved, even Han Fu would not be Zhang Yan's match.
"Sister, what do you think?" It turned out that Zhang Yan's original name was Chu Yan. He was once Zhang Niujiao's subordinate. After Zhang Niujiao died, he changed his surname to Zhang. Zhang Qian was Zhang Niujiao's only daughter, so they called each other brother and sister.
"Liu Bei blocked my late father's path and helped the fatuous Imperial Court to oppress the people. It's time for him to pay for his sins.”Zhang Qian gritted his teeth.
"Good! Everyone, quickly go and prepare. Gather the eighty-two camps from five directions and attack the plains.”With Zhang Yan's order, the leaders of the various villages were all happy.
"Slow down! Now that Liu Bei isn't in Pingyuan County, this is our best opportunity, but the messenger just now lied to us. Big brother, if we attack now, I'm afraid that Liu Bei will be back by then. Because we are attacking from Black Mountain, the distance is too far, not even closer than Pingyuan to Beiping. Now, we can only order our brothers in Dezhou to intercept Liu Bei first, then we will attack Pingyuan."
"That makes sense. What do you think, brothers?”The leaders nodded in agreement.
"Alright, then we'll do as sister says.”
"Big brother, in the eyes of the imperial court, we will always be thieves, so the army cannot pass through Jizhou. Moreover, it is impossible for us to gather all the troops in such a short period of time. What I mean is that we should not move the troops of the 41 villages in the south. We should directly transfer the troops of the 41 villages in the north and gather at Changshan. After passing through the An Kingdom and Boling, we will go straight to the plains from Dezhou."
Zhang Yan took a look at the map and felt that it was indeed reasonable. After making the plan, the leaders went back to prepare that the Changshan area was also their territory. Although they were thousands of miles away, the great teacher Zhang Jiao was from Julu in Jizhou. However, Jizhou was a well-deserved bandit nest, and these bandits followed Zhang Yan's lead. From this, one could see how terrifying Zhang Yan was.
In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed in Pingyuan County. Meng Yi knew that Liu Bei was about to return, but he didn't know how many soldiers Liu Bei could borrow. Meng Yi was quite looking forward to it. Recently, he had been living quite well. When he had nothing to do, he would go and drink with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Jian Yong alone was enough for the county.
Guan Chun was still obsessed with saber techniques. If it were this kid, he would have learned quite quickly. Now, he could even exchange more than ten moves with Zhang Fei. Guan Chun didn't forget the person who dug the well even when he drank water, so he respected Guan Yu more and more.
On this day, Meng Yi was studying something at home when a guard came to report that there was a person outside the door who claimed to be his man.
My people? This time, Meng Yi was confused. How could he know anyone? He followed the guard to the door and saw an old woman over fifty years old.
"This is your man?" Meng Yi asked the guard, but he felt a chill in his heart. What was this? He did not know this person at all.
"Does Milord not recognize me?”
The more Meng Yi looked at it, the more he felt like he had seen it somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember.
"Milord, you forgot that I was introduced by Milord Jian.”
Only then did Meng Yi remember that Jian Yong was the one who had asked for information for him.
"You have poor eyesight and didn't recognize auntie.”Meng Yi cupped his hands.
" My lord, please don't stand on ceremony with me. Back then, my whole family fled here. It was Magistrate Liu who took us in. My life was given to me by Magistrate Liu." The old woman was a little excited. Meng Yi quickly invited her into the house.
"Aunty must have something to say to me, right?”
"I have something to say, but I don't know if it's important.”the old woman said hesitantly.
"Aunty is fine, you can go ahead."
The old woman said nervously," My home is in Linxiang. Recently, Wu Lao Er from our village has returned. He became a bandit in the mountains for more than ten years because he killed people. Wu Lao Er, now all the bandits in Jizhou are gathering at Zhending Mountain."。”
"Wait, where are you? Chang Shan Zhen Ding?" "Oh my, how could I forget about him?" Meng Yi suddenly slapped his head.”
Meng Yi suddenly remembered when he was reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he often heard the phrase 'I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan'. Wasn't Zhao Yun the real person of Changshan? Meng Yi took a long time to calm down. This was Changban Hill in Dangyang, facing Zhao Zilong, who had killed millions of Cao soldiers. Meng Yi was getting more and more excited.
"Sir, what's wrong?" The old woman thought that her matter was not important.
"It's okay, auntie, you take it." Meng Yi realized that he had lost his composure."Now, the bandits of Anding, An Kingdom, and Shiyi have all gone to Changshan. Even the Black Mountain Bandits have come."”The old woman said carefully.
Meng Yi knew that things weren't as simple as they seemed. If it was any other mountain bandits, they wouldn't have cared. However, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army had 100,000 soldiers. He had just claimed that he was here to suppress the bandits, and these bandits had already come. If there was no contact, Meng Yi would never believe it.
This time, he had gone crazy. He kept shouting wolf, wolf, but he did not expect the wolf to really come.
Besides, what did this have to do with Han Fu?
