I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 185 Everything must be justified

Although the Montenegrin Army had a large number at this time, it still had not fully reached its heyday in history.

When the Black Mountain Army in history reached its heyday, although its overall strength was far inferior to Yuan Shao, the leader of Hebei, it was still a headache for Yuan Shao.

However, although the Black Mountain Army at this time has not yet fully reached the historical momentum to deter Hebei, it may not be without the strength to compete with the newly established Jizhou Army and Liyang Battalion.

It's just that Zhang Niujiao, the commander-in-chief of the Black Mountain Army, is far behind in terms of courage and courage compared to Zhang Yan, the commander-in-chief of the Black Mountain Army in its heyday in history.

It's just that the Montenegrin Army has too many people participating in the war this time. Even if it is a strategic mistake, relying on the number alone may not necessarily lead to defeat.

But Zhang Niujiao didn't have such audacity.

They can take advantage of the Shen family's carelessness and enter, but they will not fight to the death with the fully armed Jizhou army who came to fight them with all their strength.

This is not in line with Zhang Niujiao's vision and interests.

However, apart from Zhang Niujiao himself, there are many courageous and courageous people in the Black Mountain Army.

Chu Yan is one of the representatives.

The current Chu Yan has not changed his name to Zhang Yan, and he has never been ranked particularly high among the commanders of the Black Mountain Army. Although Zhang Niujiao admires him very much, the young Chu Yan is now among the commanders of the Black Mountain Army. , is still ranked relatively low.

Similar to Bai Rao, Yu Du, Yang Feng, Tao Sheng, Yu Digen, etc. Qu Shuai, who are older, control the tribe and have more food, and their reputation is far higher than that of Chu Yan.

Therefore, Zhang Niujiao could only send the young Chu Yan to break the queen this time.

One is that Zhang Niujiao trusts Chu Yan more.

The second is that Zhang Niujiao is still unable to command the rest of the big-name Black Mountain Army commanders.

The organizational system of the Black Mountain Army is different from that of the official army. To put it bluntly, they currently have no organizational system.

There is no distinction between high and low commanders. Although everyone is in Montenegro, they are not unified, and Zhang Niujiao is only a relatively powerful one among the commanders of the Montenegro army. This does not mean that he can command Mobilize other various channels.

It seems that Zhang Niujiao, a prominent family in the Yin'an family of Zhang and Sun, invited Yu Dushuai from Montenegro to come with him to rob.

As for the other Yang Feng, Bai Rao and others, although they received Zhang Niujiao's invitation, they didn't urinate in his pot at all.

At this time, the Montenegro army retreated, and it was impossible for Yu Du to pay attention to Zhang Niujiao's tactics, nor would he specifically order his men to block Zhang Niujiao's sword.

Therefore, only Chu Yan stood up at this moment and broke Zhang Niujiao's back.

"Kill! Kill!"

Holding the ring-sword in his hand, Chu Yan led a group of capable Black Mountain soldiers to fight at the front of the team, soaked in blood, while the bandits around him fell down like cutting wheat.

In the Black Mountain Army, Chu Yan is one of the rare people who can wear armor all over his body. In addition, he fought bravely, so he is also very conspicuous in the Black Mountain Army.

At this time, Zhang Fei and Han Dang, who were rushing to kill in the Black Mountain army, both noticed Chu Yan's existence.

Looking from a distance, I saw Chu Yan leading a group of followers, fighting left and right, the morale was like a rainbow, but it was a bit unstoppable.

Zhang Fei laughed, and he stabbed a black mountain knight in front of him to death with a spear, and said loudly: "I don't think there is such a hero among the thieves! Wait for me to kill him and make meritorious deeds!"

Han Dang, who followed Zhang Fei, said: "Lieutenant He Lao, let's do it, and wait for the last official to capture it..."

Before Han Dang could finish speaking...Suddenly, he saw a white rider flash past the two of them on his horse, and charged straight at where Chu Yan was, like a white shooting star. dazzling.

Zhang Fei was taken aback when he saw it, but he hastily looked closely, only to see that the knight on the white horse was moving extremely fast, and all the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army he encountered while galloping were easily stabbed down by him. On the ground, his movements are light and smooth, without any sense of jerky, and he is really brave.

"Who is this? It's so amazing!"

Zhang Fei slightly looked at Han Dang in surprise.

Zhang Fei didn't pay attention when the white rider rushed past just now, but Han Dang saw it clearly.

"The captain is Shaojun's new Sima, Changshan Zhao Zilong!"

"what?"

Zhang Fei was taken aback: "It's that kid!"

He turned his head to look at Zhao Yun's sprinting direction again, and murmured: "I can't tell, this person has such courage!"

Han Dang said helplessly: "I don't know if you are brave or not. It's just you and me. I'm afraid it will be monopolized by this kid!"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately reacted.

Zhao Yun, this boy, made it clear that he was going in the direction where Chu Yan was!

"How dare you kid!"

As soon as Zhang Fei pulled the reins, he was about to gallop the horse after him: "Yigong, you go with me! I don't believe that with my ability, I can't take credit for him alone!"

After finishing speaking, he urged the sitting black knight to follow Zhao Yun's direction and chase after him.

Han Dang hastily rode his horse to follow.

The two men led the troops to kill the Heishan bandits on the road, and at the same time followed Zhao Yun.

On the way, Han Dang hesitated and said: "Lieutenant, in fact, as you and me, I went to compete with a young man who was just appointed as Sima by the young master. If it spread, it would be somewhat embarrassing. I admire that Zhao Zilong quite a lot, if I get upset because of such a trivial matter, I'm afraid it won't look good on the young master's face."

The spear in Zhang Fei's hand stopped suddenly.

He reined in the horse's reins and shouted "Call, call", so that the Wuzhi war horse stood upright on the spot.

Afterwards, Zhang Fei showed an expression of enlightenment.

"That's right, that's right, I'm already a lieutenant of the Liyang Battalion with a rank of two thousand shi, at the same level as the lieutenant of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army, how can I compete with a kid who just became an official? It's not very good to hear it! It’s extreme, it’s extreme! If it wasn’t for Yigong’s reminder, I would almost lose my face!”

Han Beware said: You also said that he is a kid... In fact, you are not much older than Zhao Yun!
……

At the same time, Chu Yan was rushing back and forth between the ranks of the officers and soldiers.

Every time he kills a person, he will shout:
"Black Mountain wins!"

"Black Mountain wins!"

In just such a short period of time, there were no fewer than ten officers and soldiers of the Jizhou army who died under his sword. Chu Yan roared up to the sky, and suddenly pointed forward with the saber in his hand, as if he was guiding the soldiers behind him, and once again raised his voice call:

"Wan Sheng!"

But following the point of his blade, a young warrior in black armor and white robe appeared opposite him.

Chu Yan looked intently, and found this young man quite familiar.

But right now he was on the battlefield, and he didn't have time to find out if the other party was someone he knew.

Afterwards, Chu Yan suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and shouted: "Kill!"

Then he rushed towards the boy.

Zhao Yun pointed the spear in his hand to the sky, and shouted loudly: "Changshan Zhao Zilong is here! Brother Chu, long time no see!"

This cry made Chu Yan feel a little dazed for a moment.

His movements didn't slow down at all, but a thought suddenly popped up in his heart.

Changshan Zhao Zilong?Somewhat familiar, could it have something to do with Zhao Jun?
But the idea is the idea, but Chu Yan's hands were merciless, and with all his strength, he slashed away at Zhao Yun's head!

Zhao Yunyi was not afraid, he raised the spear horizontally, and with one effortless effort, he swung Chu Yan's saber away.

Chu Yan passed him on a horse, and suddenly turned her head to look at Zhao Yun. Apart from fierceness, there was also surprise in her eyes!

Shi Cai almost used all his strength in that knife, but the other party didn't seem to be moved by him, and blocked his knife lightly.

In Changshan, is there really such a person?

Even his fellow countryman Zhao Jun himself, I'm afraid he can't do it!

But at this moment, Zhang Yan couldn't allow Zhang Yan to think about it, and saw that Zhao Yun had already galloped forward, charging towards him with a spear straightened out!

The soldiers in front charged at the front, and Liu Jian himself was in charge of the army in the rear.

Not long after, Cheng Pu, who was in charge of the front line just now, came to Liu Jian on horseback.

"My lord, the Black Mountain army has retreated, and there is only one lone army left. It is not difficult to break through. The disaster of Shenshi Wubao has been solved. Shouldn't we send troops to rescue Zhang and Sun?"

Liu Jian looked at Cheng Pu with a half-smile, and said, "Waiting for a while."

Obviously, Liu Jian was not in a hurry to save those two families.

Cheng Pu didn't understand why and said, "Why is Shijun doing this? If there is a slight delay, I'm afraid it will cause too much loss to the two big families, and I'm afraid they will be blamed later."

"It's just a joke. I came back to save them. I was doing my best to benevolent and righteous. Sooner or later, the situation on the battlefield is limited, but I can't control it. Why should they blame me?"

"Besides, when the Shen family's father-in-law sent someone to ask me for help, he said he was wrong... None of them came to ask me."

When Cheng Pu heard this, he immediately understood what Liu Jian was thinking.

He rushed forward immediately, came to Liu Jian's side, and said: "The meaning of the envoy, the last official understands, but there is one thing, the last official still needs to advise the envoy."

"It's okay for Demou to be blunt."

Cheng Pudao: "It seems that the Sun family and the Zhang family are rich in Confucianism, a hundred-year-old family, relying on their profound background, they have come to look at everything, so that the king will return to the army today to help, first save the judge's family, and then postpone to their two families. I am afraid that they will inevitably have resentment in their hearts afterwards, so I am afraid that the great cause of the king will be disadvantaged."

Liu Jian said indifferently: "De Mou, you are wrong. People like them refused to ask me for help when they were forced under Wubao in Montenegro. Jizhou, as long as there is something that doesn't go their way, they will definitely fight against me. Such a family is not familiar with it. They don't hate me today, and they will hate me tomorrow. I govern Jizhou, it is impossible not to Touching the interests of their family, the conflict will sooner or later!"

Liu Jian is very clear that he wants to compete in the world, and at the same time, he also wants to use the opportunity of chaos to change the shortcomings of this dynasty, but in this world, there has never been a reform without bloodshed.

To achieve prosperity, it is necessary to destroy some people.This is the law of history!
In history, there has never been a harmonious and bloodless restructuring.

Cheng Pu heard the words: "Since that's the case, just don't save them and let Heishan destroy them!"

Liu Jian shook his head and said, "Heishan looks for an opportunity to attack them and rob them of some property, but it can't shake their foundation."

Cheng Pu suddenly asked, "What does the envoy mean?"

"Sooner or later I'll have to do it myself."

Cheng Pu was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "If you are good at killing famous people, you may leave a bad name in the world."

Liu Jian said with a smile: "So you can't kill without authorization, you must kill them rationally, and purge them rationally. You are determined to destroy them, but also let the nobles all over the world stand on my side in terms of justice, and disdain to be with them."

Cheng Puqi said: "How can there be such a reason?"

"Why not? Isn't rebellion a reason!"

Cheng Pu's eyes widened when he heard this.

rebel?Who rebelled?They rebelled?

Liu Jian said slowly: "I don't want to think about the day when I have to discuss and negotiate with the local nobles and have to get their consent. What I want is in the land of Hebei: keep a promise, and those who oppose me will perish." !"

"But if you want to do this thoroughly, you must go through one cleaning, or even several cleanings."

"No matter what you do, you must pay attention to a righteous name. If I kill the family who disobeyed me directly, I will stand opposite the world's famous scholars and be labeled as a murderer by them."

"So, to force these people who don't want to obey and want to rule Jizhou with me to rebel!"

"Even if they are nobles, as long as their charges of rebellion are fulfilled, the nobles and scholars in the world will definitely criticize them, stand on their opposite side, and will definitely support me,"

"Scholars, the most important thing is appearance and orthodoxy. What kind of person, as long as he has the title of rebellion, he will be cut off from the world! No matter how high the famous family is, it will collapse in an instant. , Even if I destroy their entire sect, justice is still with me, and the heart of scholars is still with me."

"How can you be so sure?"

Liu Jian said with a smile: "I'm sure, not to mention them, even the Yuan family in Runan. Once they put on the hat of rebellion, they will be cut off from the world. No one wants to be with them, and they will not be able to get up."

Cheng Pu suddenly said: "So the envoy wants to force them to rebel?"

"Yes, but they won't rebel for a while. I will slowly guide them to rebel. Let the Zhang family and the Sun family be the lead. It is best for them to contact families who are dissatisfied with my future policies. Pulling out a series of them will save me the trouble of checking each one, and it is the safest thing to do once and for all."

　There will be more in a while
