Chapter One Thousand and One: Mount Tai Thief Zhang Yan

Zhang Yu's invasion of Taishan County was very smooth at first, and he even conquered several cities.

Sure enough, Cao Jun in Yuzhou did not dare to rescue as Zhang Yu and the others had judged.

Without rescue, of course he is not Zhang Yu's opponent.

They had already transferred part of their troops to the west to attack the Yuan family, but they were held back by Zhang Yu.

Today on the Eastern Front, there are not many soldiers and horses.

When Zhang Yu attacked under Mount Tai, he immediately encountered obstacles.

This Cao army has more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, resisting all the way, and finally fled into Mount Tai.

After entering the mountain, half of Zhang Yu's cavalry immediately became useless.

This Mount Tai, Zhang Yu really wants to enter the mountain to encircle and suppress them, and he doesn't know when they will be wiped out, and it's not even certain who will kill the other.

Zhang Yu stopped at the foot of Mount Tai and did not enter the mountain to encircle Cao's army.

But it's not a problem to let Cao's army do nothing like this. When Zhang Yu attacks other places, or after occupying the entire Mount Tai, they can still cause Zhang Yu a lot of trouble.

"It's really troublesome, I got into the deep mountain." Zhang Yu walked around the periphery for two days, but there was no good way.

In the deep mountains, the most important thing is food, and Cao Jun is prepared, and it will be no problem to persist for a while.

Zhang Yu felt a little helpless.

At this time, Zhang Yu was thinking about whether to attack other places first, and leave Taishan to clean up slowly.

There has been no movement on Ling Cao's side, so if he cooperates by himself, he will surely make a breakthrough.

Zhang Yu continued to attack Mount Tai, knocked down the area around Mount Tai, and moved the surrounding villages, so that Cao Jun who entered Mount Tai had no support.

After three days of cleaning up, Zhang Yu cleaned up the surrounding villages and forced them to move out with the army.

After cleaning the surrounding area, Zhang Yu continued to clean up the surrounding areas, cleaning up everything around.

But at this time there is still a group of people in Taishan quitting.

Zhang Yan is also the remnant of the Yellow Turban,

Settled down in Mount Tai.

He led hundreds of thousands of people to move around Mount Tai, and there were 100,000 soldiers and horses alone.

They farmed in Mount Tai and hid in it.

At this time Zhang Yan was very troubled.

There was nothing wrong with him when the two armies went to war, but Cao Jun entered Mount Tai, and then Zhang Yu cleaned up the villages around Mount Tai.

Many of these village chiefs were actually controlled by Zhang Yan, but Zhang Yu moved them all away.

In addition, Zhang Yan and the others still need to purchase a large amount of supplies from outside, such as salt and cloth, etc., but Zhang Yu is still expanding the scope and moving all the villages and towns here.

What will they do when hundreds of thousands of them are in the mountains?

Although food can be barely maintained, what about salt and other things?

Therefore, Zhang Yan was very troubled.

Zhang Yan called several subordinates to discuss.

"The battle between the two armies did not expect to affect us. It seems that we cannot continue like this." Zhang Yan said.

There is no good way for a few subordinates to look at me and look at you.

Zhang Yan knew that they couldn't do it, so he said: "I want to go out of the mountain. There are two ways. One is to follow Zhang Yu, and the other is to follow Cao Cao. There are only two ways to go."

At this time, Zhang Yan didn't want his subordinates to come up with any brilliant ideas, but just came to inform them and unify their opinions, so as to avoid big troubles from time to time.

"General, we should surrender to Cao Cao. He is weak at this time and should be able to give us a good official position."

"If we go to Zhang Yu, the army will definitely not be safe. They won't do anything to us, but the army will be disbanded by him."

"Zhang Yu doesn't even need Yuan Shao's surrender, just go to mine directly, maybe we will be sent to mine too."

"No, we should surrender to Zhang Yu. After all, the saint is now Zhang Yu's wife, and she is considered her family."

Several subordinates have their own opinions.

"Let's send someone to contact Zhang Yu first, and see what Zhang Yu has to say." Zhang Yan said.

Several people also agreed, but said that the treatment of several of them must be guaranteed.

At this time, they were thinking more about themselves and surrendered Zhang Yu. Even if the army was disbanded, they had to guarantee their certain interests.

Soon, Zhang Yan sent someone to look for Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu was quite surprised, he never considered Zhang Yan when he was fighting.

Zhang Yan often made troubles in Mount Tai, he was a thief of Mount Tai, of course he knew it.

It's just that no one has time to talk to him at this time. After defeating Cao Cao, there will naturally be plenty of time to clean up slowly.

Cao Cao also didn't have the energy to deal with Zhang Yan slowly. As long as he didn't attack the big city or leave Mount Tai, Cao Cao never thought about conquering him.

Not to mention the use of a large army to conquer him, it will take a long time, which is very uneconomical.

"Zhang Yan actually wants to surrender?"

"It is impossible to keep the army. Qualified troops can stay, and unqualified ones are not. We will be responsible for resettlement. The other generals can continue to lead troops if they want to. If they don't want to continue to serve as soldiers, they can send a large sum of money and become rich. Weng."

"We are also responsible for the resettlement of hundreds of thousands of people. We will not leave a single person behind and ensure their normal life."

"Others, there is nothing to talk about."

After Zhang Yu thought about it, he wrote back. Naturally, he would not accept all of Zhang Yan's conditions.

Zhang Yan asked Zhang Yu for a very high price, and asked Zhang Yu to keep an army of 100,000 troops under their command, but how dare Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yan also made a wild offer, and he knew that Zhang Yu would not agree, but he could bargain.

Soon, Zhang Yu asked for the post of sheriff, and other generals also gave certain senior officials.

Zhang Yu wrote back and said: "Possessions such as the county guard must pass the exam. It seems that you can't pass it. I can give you the position of general and receive a high salary every year."

Zhang Yu didn't want to trick them over, and then regret it, a Taishan thief is not worth it.

If he surrendered to Cao Cao, Zhang Yu would not be afraid. Cao Cao had no ability to settle hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians except himself.

After some bargaining, Zhang Yan agreed to submit to Zhang Yu. At present, Zhang Yu is not the emperor and cannot be knighted. Zhang Yan wants Zhang Yu to promise them that he will knight them in the future.

Zhang Yu didn't hesitate at this point, and only awarded a dozen generals headed by Zhang Yan. Others didn't have this treatment, but they would also have heavier rewards.

That's it, it's done.

"Since you want to submit to the king, Cao Jun fled to Mount Tai and wiped them out together." Zhang Yu said to Zhang Yan again.

Zhang Yan wrote back and said: "I have been entrenched in Mount Tai for a long time, and I am familiar with the vegetation here. I will be able to find them and destroy them in a few days."

The appearance of Taishan Bandit was a surprise.

With the help of the Mount Tai thief, Zhang Yu believed that the attack on Mount Tai would be much smoother.

When Zhang Yu was busy at the foot of Mount Tai, on Xuzhou's side, Cao Ang led an army of 200,000 and surrounded the 100,000 army from Xuzhou.

This Cao Jun carefully designed and used tactics to surround the 100,000 troops.

When Zhang Yu was about to attack Cao Jun on Mount Tai, he received the news.

Cao Ang surrounded them on a hill.
