A threat?
A blatant threat.
Zhang Yan's heart turned cold, and she felt even more terrified.
Zou Dan was speaking on behalf of Gongsun Jing, so he only gave him two choices.
Firstly, he could lead the army to attack Changshan and use this to disrupt Yuan Shao's army and help him take down Jizhou.
The second option was to refuse to send troops. However, once Gongsun Jing took Jizhou, they would become bandits. There would be no possibility of them being exonerated, and they would all be buried and killed by Gongsun Jing in the Taihang Mountains.
Zhang Yan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,"Aren't you afraid that I will ally with Yuan Benchu?”
"Alliance?"
"Haha!"
Zou Dan laughed loudly." The prince said in his letter that once the Black Mountain Army and Yuan Shao colluded, he would let the lord lead all the troops to besiege Jizhou. Does General Pingnan really think that you can resist the power of two prefectures?"”
"Yuan Shao will definitely lose?" Zhang Yan's pupils constricted as she said bitterly.”
"Of course!"
Zou Dan said confidently," Long Cou, in the two battles of the World Bridge, Yuan Shao's main army has already lost more than half. He only has tens of thousands of soldiers under him, and not many cavalry. Do you think he can defeat the prince?"”
"I have no choice!"
Zhang Yan's eyes were filled with confusion.
"One million soldiers of the Black Mountain Army. They are giving their lives to the general!”
"But you didn't bring them a good life. Instead, you brought them endless suffering!”
" The Road of Peace is already a thing of the past. General, you must understand the principle of a good bird choosing a tree to perch in. Once the Crown Prince takes down Jizhou, the Gongsun Family will occupy the three provinces of the Central Plains. After taking back Bingzhou, they will be the overlord of the Central Plains. As for the Darkhan Dynasty…!”
Zou Dan didn't finish her sentence.
However, the meaning was clear.
The Darkhan Dynasty was already finished, and it would become a thing of the past.
Gongsun Jing had occupied the Central Plains and become the number one overlord in the world. If he were to unify the world in the future, Zhang Yan would be the one who followed the dragon!
"Gulp!"
Zhang Yan gulped.
After some analysis, he suddenly saw the general trend of the world clearly.
If Gongsun Jing unified the world and established the Holy Dynasty, he would be a subject of the Dragon. It was better than staying in the mountains and being a bandit leader!
"How is it?"
Zou Dan asked with her hands behind her back.
Zhang Yan nodded and said fiercely," Yes, but how can you guarantee that the young general will not go back on his word?"”
"I don't need any guarantees!"
Zou Dan shook his head and said lightly," Back then, the 100 people from the Crown Prince's Hill met with Guan Hai in Linyi. Could it be that General Pingnan, who commanded a million Black Mountain Army soldiers, was inferior to Guan Hai, who commanded a hundred thousand Yellow Turban soldiers?”
"That's true!"
"I'm not as good as anyone else, but I'm more than enough to compete with Guan Hai!" Zhang Yan said confidently.”
Zou Dan left.
Since he had gotten what he wanted.
Naturally, he would not remain in the Taihang Mountains.
Stationing troops in Dai County was not only to force the Black Mountain Army to submit, but also to guard against the foreign tribes.
Now that Bingzhou had fallen, the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei had filled the entire territory of Bingzhou. They often plundered the borders of Daijun. He still had to set up some defenses to protect the borders.
At the same time.
Jizhou was filled with a bloody storm, and people were anxious.
Ye City.
In the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
Yuan Shao's expression was extremely ferocious. He smashed the secret report on the ground and said coldly,""This is too much. They actually gathered 40,000 troops in Qinghe and Hejian!”
"My lord!"
"Gongsun Changping has already pointed his sword at Jizhou!" Xu You said helplessly.”
"He wants to fight?"
Yuan Shao was like an angry lion.
Xu You nodded and said with a complicated expression," Gan Ling is from the Tianxing Army. He wants to stall Chunyu Qiong from Qingyuan. Gao Lan from Hejian is here to take down Zhongshan. He himself is leading the White Horse Righteous Army and the Qingzhou Army in the old city. He must be eyeing Anping and Julu counties!"”
" Gongsun Jing is too cunning!" Tian Feng's expression turned ugly." We can't send troops for this battle!"”
"Why?"
Yuan Shao frowned and said unhappily.
Tian Feng added," My Lord, if we send all our forces into Julu or Zhongshan, Zhang Yan will definitely leave the mountain and Changshan County will fall. At that time, our army will be attacked from both sides and will definitely not be able to withstand the siege of the two armies. However, if we split our forces, we will not be able to defeat Gongsun Jing!”
"Bastard!"
"Then you mean we'll lose this battle?" Yuan Shao shouted angrily.”
Tian Feng said firmly,"Once we send troops, we will definitely lose. We can only defend the city!"”
"Men, Tian Yuanhao has shaken the morale of the army during the battle. Escort him to the drill ground to sacrifice the flag!" Yuan Shao shouted angrily.”
"My lord!"
The expressions of Xu You, Shen Pei, and the others changed drastically.
He had not even gone out to battle, yet he had already killed his own strategist as a sacrifice to the flag. This was a great sin!
"Enough!"
Yuan Shao waved his hand and said coldly," Tan 'er is dead. Xi' er is still in Gongsun Changping's hands. If we want to save Xi 'er and protect Jizhou, we have no choice but to fight him. Otherwise, Xi' er will definitely be killed by him!"”
"Lord Yong!"
Tian Feng glared at him and said angrily," There are as many strategists as there are clouds under your command, and as many generals as there are rain. During the war, you let your two sons be the commander-in-chief. After the defeat, you didn't think about the shortcomings and blamed the generals under your command. Do you really think that you can save Yuan Xi's life by fighting?”
"What did you say?"
Yuan Shao's eyes were incomparably cold.
How could he not know that Yuan Xi was doomed, but he still wanted to take a gamble.
Now, Tian Feng had openly torn apart all pretense of cordiality. Where would he end up? Where would the victory and defeat of the entire Jizhou end up?
Tian Feng stood up and coldly scolded," You use your father's shadow to gather people, but you can't use people. If you fight with Gongsun Changping this time, there will only be defeat and death. Do you want to gamble the entire Jizhou in exchange for Yuan Xi?"”
