Chapter 436 Black Mountain Bandit Zhang Yan! [Seeking Monthly Votes]

Will the general be able to defeat the enemy? Isn't this the official position of the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan?

Lu Bu gnashed his teeth and said, "Damn it, I haven't even got around to trouble you yet, but you came first."

He used a walkie-talkie to communicate with Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others, and arranged for the army to turn around after resting and set up an ambush near Yuci to teach Zhang Yan a lesson.

Zhang Yan's real name is Chu Yan. The first horn of a Black Mountain bandit was shot in the body. He was in danger and ordered his men to be led by Chu Yan.

In order to repay this kindness, Chu Yan changed his name to Zhang Yan and became the leader of the millions of Black Mountain troops. He occupied the Taihang Mountains, entrenched Shangdang, Changshan and other places, and often sent troops to harass Hanoi and Jizhou.

In addition, they colluded with the Wuhuan and the Xiongnu tribes in the Yanmen and Daijun areas, and plundered everywhere, causing trouble for one side.

Lu Bu originally planned to take Taiyuan County and rest for a while, and then take Shangdang when the spring is lean next year, and then wipe out the Black Mountain Army and eliminate a scourge for the people on both sides of the Taihang Mountains.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually came over on his own initiative, so let’s weaken him first.

It would be better if Zhang Yan could be killed, but this guy is very slippery and he may not be able to catch him.

The entry of the Black Mountain bandits surprised Xun You:

"Is this the backup invited by the Wang family?"

Originally, after Jinyang was captured, it was time to return to Chang'an for the winter and continue fighting after the Spring Festival. Unexpectedly, the Black Mountain bandits jumped out to increase their presence.

It seems that the time to return to Chang'an will be postponed!

Xun You clicked on a Hibiscus King, turned on his tablet, and looked at the high-definition map on it carefully.

Ma Chao on the side was full of fighting spirit and took the initiative to ask for a fight:

"Mr. Gongda, can I help Marquis Wen?"

After saying that, the guy handed over the ashtray with a wink.

Xun You flicked the ashes from his cigarette, stared at the map and said:

"If the Black Mountain bandits are all cavalry, the war will be over before you arrive. Jinyang will most likely be captured by then, and all your time will be wasted on the road... Now if you want to expand the results of the battle, don't focus on it. Here comes this team from Taiyuan."

Gao Shun nodded in agreement and said:

"Mr. Gongda is right. You really can't just focus on the people here."

Xiao Mengqi was confused by the conversation between the two. If he wasn't staring at this group of people, where would he be staring at?

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 number in the millions, their combat power is not good. In the original book, Marquis Wen drove them from the vicinity of Jizhou to the north with a cavalry force, and killed many of the main force... Now Zhang Yan led his troops to help Taiyuan, go up The party's defense must be empty and can be occupied by others. "

Just 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 to Marquis Wen that he take the Shangdang into his pocket?"

See, this is the benefit of having many top counselors.

You can seize the opportunity from clues and expand your results!

Xun You picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"That's what I had in mind, but Marquis Wen wants to make Zhang Yan's dumplings and has no spare time. The new army on the east side of Hedong has no fighting capacity... We can only let General Han Sheng from Hanoi go."

"So good!"

In just a few words, the two of them formulated a strategy to capture Shangdang.

Even if they can't capture the entire Shangdang County, they can at least occupy part of the territory.

Listening to the two top counselors formulating an attack plan from a distance, Ma Chao quietly took a notebook and wrote it down, intending to review it later and develop a habit of thinking.

It's a pity that Brother Zhengfang is not here, otherwise we can share our experiences and make progress together.

After the discussion, Xun You dialed the intercom to Lu Bu's exclusive channel 666 and told him the plan.

Lu Bu agreed upon hearing this:

"I will arrange the operations in Hanoi now."

He got off his horse, built a "door" with a few wooden sticks, 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 walking 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 in Taiyuan. Gongda and Zhongde felt that the Shangdang's defenses were now empty, so they could let Han Sheng lead the troops to fight and expand the results."

Wow, Zhang Yan actually took the initiative to stuff a pillow while she was dozing off.

Li Yu originally wanted to go to the scenic spot to convey the news, but then he remembered that his old mother was traveling far away, and the Wa Palace was guarded by Empress Houtu.

My godmother is not in good health, so let’s find another way to deliver the news.

He came to the door of room 202 and called out to the Queen who was taking a nap:

"The Black Mountain thieves who are entrenched in Shangdang went to Taiyuan County and asked Zhang Daoling to notify 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'll never stay up late playing games again."

The girl was just about to go downstairs with her slippers on when she saw watermelons in the study. She hugged two of them and quickly returned to Muke Village.

Since you are going to trouble Lao Zhang, you should give him some benefit.

The world of the Three Kingdoms, Hanoi County, County Sheriff's Mansion.

Dong Zhao had just returned from the Chang family's debate on the classics and was about to recommend talents to Xu Rong when he saw a middle-aged Taoist priest with golden light floating down from the sky.

Damn it, there really are gods!

Xu Rong's eyes widened and he quickly saluted when he saw Zhang Daoling:

"Xu Rong, the governor of Hanoi, pays homage to the immortal!"

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 Dongzhao, 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 invite gods to come down to earth unless it's an emergency, so as not to cause karma to them... The Black Mountain bandits actually rushed to the aid of the Wang family in Taiyuan. They are really doing their own thing!"

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, or 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 and don't be obsessed with 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 take down 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, we fought higher and higher, occupying more and more territory. The army's plan 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 way, it will 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:

"Once I entered 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, and Xiao Liu Xie feels 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, there's no telling what trouble Changshengtian will cause."

The heavy snowfall in Zhending Mansion was caused by that little thing. If I 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&B, 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 a man like me be bullied by a weak woman?"

Mu Guiying quickly took out her mobile phone to record this conversation, and said with a smile:

"Let Zhang Daoling put this conversation into Sister Wugui's dream later, and see if she will pinch you."

Li Shimin quickly begged for mercy:

"Sister Wugui is weak, please don't scare her, Third Master."

In order to change the subject, this guy took the initiative to ask:

"When are you and your husband going to hold the wedding?"

Mu Guiying was immediately speechless, and went to the kitchen to add ice on the pretext that there was too little ice in the fruit scoop.

In the Three Kingdoms world, Lu Bu conveyed Liu Xie's arrangements through the intercom 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.

Soon, birds and beasts fled everywhere, the earth began to shake, and a large number of Black Mountain cavalry rushed from the direction of Shangdang...

Lü Bu found the central army where Zhang Yan was, put down the telescope, picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered:

"Artillery ready, aim at the central army and fire!"
