The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 844

Garrison camp.

In the raised big tent, Lu Bu sat on Qu Yi's exclusive throne originally.The accompanying generals and scribes took their seats in order according to their military ranks and official positions.

Qu Yi ordered someone to hang up a huge military map and explained it in detail: "Please look, my lord, this is Jizhou, also known as Hebei. This place is surrounded by mountains and seas on three sides. It faces the Central Plains in the south and the vast sea in the east. , the two mountain ranges of Taihang Mountain and Yanshan Mountain stretch for thousands of miles, encircling its west and north sides. The rivers in Hebei all originate from these two mountain ranges, cut through the mountains to form traffic channels, and thus form some dangerous passes.”

"In the east of Hebei is the Taihang Mountains, which stretch for hundreds of miles from north to south. To the west of Taihang Mountains are Bingzhou Shangdang and Taiyuan, and to the east are Jizhou's Changshan County, Zhao State, and Wei County.

To the south of Wei County, it is adjacent to Dong County and divides the boundary between Jizhou and Yanzhou. "

"Along the mountain range, Zijingguan, Daomaguan, Jingjing, Fukou and other passes restrict their passages. Therefore, whether the situation in Taihang Mountain can be controlled is related to the success or failure of Hebei forces."

Qu Yi talked eloquently, and he knew everything about Hebei's topography and important ports.

Looking at the places marked on the map, Lu Bu nodded approvingly.

The situation in the mountains and rivers of Hebei is enough to qualify as a hero.

This is what Xi Ce and Lu Bu Bingzhu talked about in Luoyang back then.

Today's Taihang Mountains are neither under the control of Bingzhou nor under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, but are occupied by a group of bandits called "Black Mountain Bandits".

It is said that after the moth thief uprising called by Zhang Jiao failed, the people in the Heishan area of ​​Jizhou revolted one after another and organized them under various names.

Compared with the Moth Thieves riot at the beginning, this group was obviously much smarter. They did not fight the government army in a wide area, but formed valleys together, relying on the terrain, and fought back layer by layer.

During this period, the government sent troops on a large scale to conquer several times, but each time they lost troops and returned without success.

With the helplessness of the government, gradually, the power of the black mountain bandits has become extremely large.

In the beginning, there were many bandits and bandits in the Taihang Mountains. They each occupied the top of the mountain and set up camps. The large camps had 7000 to [-] people, and the small camps had [-] to [-] people.

Counting the bandits and civilians in the entire Taihang Mountains, there are hundreds of thousands of people, known as millions to the outside world.

These thieves don't accept anyone, there are many internal conflicts, and there are not a few people who fight violently.However, whenever an official army came to crusade, they held tightly to the regiment and made concerted efforts to attack the outside world.

Until a few years ago, a character named 'Zhang Yan' was born and completed the unification of the Black Bandits.

Regarding Zhang Yan, the information given by the local government is that this person was originally surnamed Chu. After the moth thief was suppressed, he followed Zhang Niujiao, one of the mothie leaders, to fight everywhere. Later, when he attacked Yingtao, Zhang Niujiao was killed He was shot by a stray arrow and was seriously injured.

Before dying, Zhang Niujiao ordered his subordinates to honor Chu Yan as their leader.After Zhang Niujiao's death, everyone embraced Chu Yan as the leader. In order to be grateful, Chu Yan changed his surname to Zhang and called him Zhang Yan.

After Zhang Yan entered Montenegro, the strength of the team continued to grow, and in the battle with the official army, he was very brave and performed very dazzlingly.As a result, he gained the trust of many small leaders, such as Sun Qing, Wang Dang and others, all of whom later brought their followers under Zhang Yan's command.

The leaders of the other villages also admired Zhang Yan very much. Although their forces were not united, they all openly expressed their submission and were willing to regard Zhang Yan as their commander and listen to his orders.

When Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan fought, they also continuously threw olive branches at the black bandits, hoping that Zhang Yan could join his camp and seek hegemony together.

But Zhang Yan didn't agree to anyone. He guarded the Taihang Mountains and quietly watched the general situation of the world.

"My lord, now the Black Mountain bandits are entrenched in the mountains, cutting off the connection between Bingzhou and Jizhou. Bingzhou is also the place where you made your fortune, so the general thought that before attacking Hebei, our army can suppress the many bandits in the Taihang Mountains first. If we can win this, we can put pressure on Hebei, and we can hold the barrier in the east of Bingzhou.

In this way, the initiative is firmly in our hands. "

Qu Yi expressed his opinion that if he didn't defeat the Heishan bandits first, even if Wei Jun was captured, he would have to worry about the future.

Everyone in the tent thought about it carefully, and they all agreed.

Zhang Yan.

Lu Bu whispered the name, with a nostalgic look on his face.

In the last life, after Li Jue and Guo Si defeated Chang'an, the defeated Lu Bu led his troops to Yuan Shao in Hebei.At that time, the black mountain bandits were harming all parts of the country, so Yuan Shao joined forces with Lu Bu, Yuan Shao provided supplies and grass, and Lu Bu led the army to attack.

In the last life, although Lu Bu had no capital and a relatively simple mind, he was extremely powerful in combat. He took his brothers and charged to the camp of the Black Mountain bandits every day.

In just over ten days, Lu Bu successfully defeated Zhang Yan.

Looking back now, my memory is a bit blurry, but it was indeed Lu Bu who led the troops to defeat Zhang Yan and wiped out the black mountain bandits who were causing trouble in Hebei.

Now that the attack on Hebei is imminent, as Qu Yi said, if the Black Bandit is not dealt with, it will always be an uncontrollable variable factor, like a thorn stuck in the throat, which may cause harm at any time, even Take people's lives.

Therefore, the attitude towards the Black Bandit is to either surrender or exterminate.

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao promised many benefits before, but they failed to convince Zhang Yan that it might not be realistic to accept this path.

Lu Bu glanced at the generals sitting below, and asked, "Who is willing to lead the army to fight against the Black Bandits?"

Now that he is the lord and the powerful General Sima, a mere Black Mountain bandit, naturally there is no need for him to act personally.

As the saying goes, how can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife.

As soon as these words came out, it seemed like a pot exploded in the tent.

"The end will be willing to go!"

"My lord, I wish!"

"Don't any of you compete with Lao Tzu for this opportunity, my lord will send me there!"

Ma Chao, Hua Xiong and other generals stood up and clasped their fists, arguing loudly, all wanting to take this opportunity to make meritorious service and show their talents.

The tent was as noisy as a market, Lu Bu tapped on the table and raised his hand in a quiet gesture.The generals quickly calmed down, waiting with great anticipation for Lu Bu's final answer.

"Master, you seem to have forgotten someone." Guo Jia reminded.

Lu Bu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then suddenly laughed, tacitly agreeing with Guo Jia.Indeed, this chess piece that has been buried for so many years can finally come in handy.

Averting his eyes from the generals, Lu Bu looked at the sharp young man sitting next to Guo Jia: "Zhong Da, I will trouble you to dress up tomorrow and go to the black bandit's den!"
