Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 253 Chapter 252 Capture Zhang Yan and go down to Taihang Mountain
For a while, Zhang Yan was very depressed.

He has been in the Taihang Mountain area for more than ten years. When the team was the strongest, it could deploy hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. In addition, their families and children once passed a million, and their influence spread to Changshan, Zhaojun, and Zhongshan. , Shangdang, Hanoi and other places, and even became a force that even the imperial court feared.

It was during this period that Emperor Ling conferred the official position of General Pingnan Zhonglang in order to appease him, and also gave him the power to show filial piety to the court.

You must know the background of the times under the control of the party, even some big aristocratic families may not have this background. Zhang Yan can be called the most successful bandit if he has been mixed up to this extent.

Even after being defeated by Lv Bu and severely injured, he had to shrink the sphere of influence to the Taihang Mountain area. There are still nearly 10,000 troops on hand, and there are still [-]+ people including family members.

Over the years, in the Taihang Mountains, he was not much different from the king of a country within a country except that he did not have the prosperity of Luoyang City.

Because of this, he was unwilling to submit to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and others.

After all, no matter how big an official you are, there are people on your head who will check and balance you, but it is different in Taihang Mountains, he is the emperor.

However, he felt that he was likely to bid farewell to this kind of life.

Because that guy Cao Cao deliberately put the letter he wrote into Lu Bu's hands, isn't that forcing him to fight against Lu Bu?

In this situation, the way to find the source and watch the fire from the other side is completely blocked. Now there are only two ways in front of you, or continue to stay out of the matter. In the end, no matter whether Cao Cao wins or Lu Bu wins, you have to settle accounts with yourself after autumn. There is no prerequisite for peace talks up.

Or, vote for Cao now, and there is still a chance of mediation.

Compared with the price offered by Lu Bu, Cao Cao was obviously more generous. The envoy said that he could choose the two counties of the North Kingdom as his base at will.

After some ideological struggle, and after discussing with several bandit leaders including Du Chang, they unanimously decided to support Cao Cao.

The prerequisite is not to be a pioneer, but to be a supporter. After all, the fear of being dominated by Fang Tian's painting halberd back then still lingers in Zhang Yan's heart like a nightmare.

Having said that, Zhang Yan is still very depressed. After all, he has worked under someone else's command since he was an emperor, and he will eat royal meals and follow orders from now on.

Originally, I thought that such a depressed mood would last for a long time, but I never thought that just a few days later, Zhang Yan's mood would go up to the sky like a roller coaster.

When the boys went down the mountain to plunder, they captured two girls who looked like gods.

This kind of thing happens from time to time, but the usual way is to hand it over to the little bandit chiefs first, in exchange for food and other rewards. As for how to distribute the captured girls, it is up to the bandit chiefs to decide.

But with the beauty of the girl captured this time, even the bandits did not dare to try it, so they hurriedly sent it to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan took a look and said, oh, sisters, they are still so beautiful, not bad, let’s sleep with them.

At first, Zhang Yan just regarded the pair of sisters as beautiful vases to settle down.

After all, during these years when he was the leader of the black bandit, there were not many women belonging to him in the village, but there were still thirty or forty women, but there was no other woman as beautiful as this pair of sisters.

After a while, Zhang Yan's mood changed subtly.

Because he found out that this pair of sisters is really not easy. When facing him, they are completely different from ordinary women. Those women who were caught up the mountain, even if they said compliments on their lips, there was always panic in their eyes .

And when the sisters looked at Zhang Yan, their eyes were burning, full of admiration and admiration, this trick was very useful for Zhang Yan.

He can catch hundreds of thousands of women, and many people will post them on their own initiative, but no one will get close to him like the two of them, as if they have identified themselves as their destiny.

Coupled with the fact that the sisters are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their dancing skills can make people's bones soften, Zhang Yan can't resist it.

In just four or five days, Zhang Yan fell completely, and there was an illusion that he didn't love the country and the beauties.

It is not difficult to understand that the woman in the red sleeve move is not something ordinary men can resist. Chen Dengshang, who comes from a wealthy family in Xuzhou, cannot resist, let alone Zhang Yan, who is just a bandit.

Therefore, for this pair of sisters in Tweed, Zhang Yan almost responded to every request.

As for the two sisters, they have no other requirements, they just feel that they are also from a famous family, even if they want to marry Zhang Yan, at least they should have a festive wedding.

Of course, this kind of request was not too much, and Zhang Yan agreed without any hesitation.

Although there are more than [-] black bandits and their families on Taihang Mountain, they are all mud legs, but no one will choose a good day.

In order to please the beauties, Zhang Yan even went down the mountain to catch a few gentlemen who knew about it, and went up the mountain to plan a good life.

At this time, one of the sisters smiled shyly: "Your Majesty, there is no need. I am not talented, but I am also proficient in the Book of Changes. March [-]th is the best day in the first half of the year."

Zhang Yan slapped her thigh after hearing this, "Then it will be March [-]th."

As a result, the Taihang Mountains became lively, and all the five cottages in the Zhongshan area were festively decorated with red hairpins, full of joy.

For them, this is definitely a day more joyful than the Chinese New Year. General Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army is getting married, so they must make everyone happy.

During this period of time, Zhang Yan got a lot of benefits from both sides, and gained a lot of benefits from Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and even the previous high-ranking officials, so he started to buy wine and meat without hesitation.

Moreover, in order to make the little lady smile, Zhang Yan planned to drink freely on March [-]th, except for the guards.

Of course, he also has crazy capital. In the border of Youzhou, Lu Bu and Yuan Xi are fighting to death, and on the other side of Bingzhou, they have already agreed to Cao Operation as a subsidiary. They can't do anything to themselves, so there is no need to be too cautious.

"Ma'am, what are you doing?" On the night of the [-]th day of March, the sisters came to an open area in the cottage, tossing an object that Zhang Yan had never seen before.

"My lord, this thing is called a blessing lamp. After being lit, it can slowly rise into the sky. It is used by our sisters to pray for the king. May God protect the king in all directions."

Sister Hua's cute answer made Zhang Yan feel warm in her heart, she really didn't hurt you two in vain, so each of them smacked their faces and rewarded you.

"You two ladies, don't be joking, there is no flying lamp in the world." Zhang Yan crossed her arms, kissed the perfect man, and then watched the two of them toss.

"Your Majesty, just wait and see." The two girls smiled coyly, and the kids on the side couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Zhang Yan also smiled, smiling happily, her eyes narrowed into a line.

He felt that God was really treating him well. He was already over [-] years old, yet he could still send two such caring and lovely people to him. How young he was.

After a while, the second daughter finished the blessing lamp, and as the kerosene in the bamboo basket below was ignited, the gauze curtain above began to be filled with heat.

Another short time passed, and the blessing lamp flew up unsteadily under the astonished eyes of everyone.

"Miracle, miracle, it really can fly!"

"This, how does it take off without wings?"

"Could it be that the ladies understand the magic of immortality?"

All of a sudden, people in the village flocked to point and point at the blessing lamps that were slowly flying high, all in amazement.

People who were a little farther away were so frightened that they hid because they didn't know what had happened. They thought they had seen a monster. More people were kneeling on the ground, kowtowing desperately for blessings.

Zhang Yan was stunned. The sisters said that this thing could fly, so he just listened to it as a joke. After all, it was their good intentions, so how could they hurt this pure love?

But when he saw the blessing lamp flying higher and higher with his own eyes, there was a storm in his heart. After all, he was a knowledgeable person, so he immediately had some ideas.

Back then, what did Zhang Jiao rely on to gather millions of yellow scarves?

Just one volume of Taiping essentials and two bowls of water to exorcise ghosts, and in a short period of time, the people of the world can be summoned to join in.

If you use this thing to attract people from the world, saying that it can understand the hearing of heaven, then what should you do?
I'm afraid its power is far better than Zhang Jiao's Taiping essential technique?
After all, the usefulness of that thing depends entirely on Zhang Jiao's own mouth, but this blessing lamp can really be seen by the world. How can this kind of impact be compared to painting a big cake?
If you use it well, not only can you return to the peak of the Black Mountain Army, even if it is Cao Cao Lu Bu, what can I do?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he was, he stepped forward and hugged sister Hua, "You two are really my lucky stars!"

"Your Majesty, there are still five days before the wedding date. My family is going to light a blessing lamp for the King every night and pray to God."

"Alright, alright, how lucky I am, Zhang Yan, to have such a good wife as you!"

Zhang Yan was really moved. During his more than ten years of bandit career, he was surrounded by brotherhood and respected authority, but there was no love between men and women that moved his heart.

In the past, Zhang Yan even felt that women would only affect the speed at which he drew his sword.Now, his heart is filled with only the word happiness.

This is the real virtuous wife, not only can make me feel at ease, but also help me achieve success.

"Look, that's Lord Hou's Yunwen Lantern!" At the foot of Taihang Mountain, a soldier trapped in the camp pointed at the sky lantern like a bright moon rising into the sky and exclaimed.

Immediately, the centurion behind him pushed a few people away, looked over, and said in surprise: "Great, we finally found it. Let's go to Ancheng and report to General Zhao immediately!"

"Here!"

After learning the news, Zhao Yun marked a circle on the silk cloth Lin Mo gave him, nodded and said, "Zhang Yan is indeed cautious. Wei Yue was here when he saw him earlier."

Zhao Yun pointed to Taihang Mountain on the border of Changshan Mountain on the silk cloth, and then pointed to the marked circle, "Now it has moved almost a hundred miles. If Yunwen hadn't deployed it in advance, how would we know his location."

"The Marquis of Lanling is really exhaustive." Wen Chou couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

In the Northern Kingdom, Tian Feng and Ju Shou are the ceiling of counselors in Wen Chou's cognition, but their strategies are mostly to conceive some solutions and countermeasures based on each other's situation.

But like Lin Mo, who is like a game, planning in advance and calculating people's hearts, but the other party can follow the path he designed step by step, but it has never been seen before.

Of course Zhao Yun had watched too much, but this was the first time Yan Liangwen Chou saw Lin Mo go off in person, so he couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

You know, Zhang Yan is a tough nut to crack. Even the two brothers joined forces and brought tens of thousands of troops, but they couldn't take down the black bandits on Taihang Mountain.

Now, Lin Mo made a little move and locked Zhang Yan's position. The most important thing was that the enemy was clear and we were hidden. The other party had no idea how many turbulent undercurrents were hidden behind the sky lantern.

No wonder Marquis Wen is so prosperous today, and even Bei Guo was included in his pocket at the flick of his fingers, what a monstrosity.

On March [-]th, on the Taihang Mountains, Zhang Yan’s stockade was the center, and the five nearby stockades were festively pasted with red flowers and happy characters. Except for the absence of firecrackers, it was a crowd of people, red flags waving, gongs and drums. Noisy.
Zhang Yan tied a cut-out big red flower on her chest, holding her sisters in hijab with her hands from left to right, smiling from ear to ear.

The sound of festive gongs and drums was played from morning to night. No one knew how much Zhang Yan drank on this day, only that he would not refuse anyone who came.

Men are always willing to prove that they are excellent in a self-righteous way in front of the woman they love.

The pair of sisters are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they come from a famous family. What can Zhang Yan do to improve her image?

He is called the general of the Black Mountain Army, but he knows in his heart that these are just mobs in the eyes of celebrities.

After thinking about it, I decided to refresh my sense of existence with the heroic spirit of not getting drunk after a thousand cups.

After drinking it, and when he was on the top, he took the bandit leader who was going to patrol and didn't let go, and he wanted to declare his happiness to everyone.

At this time of Haishi, the sound of festive gongs and drums can no longer be heard, because everyone who beats gongs and drums gathers together to drink.

The life of bandits is actually not as rich as imagined, because they are not alone enough to feed the whole family, but also have to take care of the food of the family. Sometimes when the local army defends and resists, the looting has nothing to gain. At this time Still have to go hungry.

Therefore, no one is willing to let go of this opportunity to eat and drink.

When it was Zishi, I didn't know what happened to the nearby villages, but in the village where Zhang Yan was, there were only a handful of people who could stand and talk, and there were 3000 people, almost all of them collapsed.

Even the bandits with bright and dark whistles on the mountainside fell asleep while leaning against a tree with a crooked neck.

When it was Chou, when Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and Wen Chou started climbing the mountain with the [-] camps, they went so smoothly.

"Isn't this fraudulent?" Wen Chou even thought that Zhang Yan was playing tricks, right?

"Don't say it's Zhang Yan, even Cao Cao and Sun Ce are Yunwen's playthings." Zhao Yun has absolute confidence in Lin Mo, and he doesn't believe that Zhang Yan can have such a brain.

Although, he also felt that something was wrong in his heart, whether the defense was too lax, he was even ready to forcibly charge the mountain.

They were almost at the top of the mountain when they finally met a group of people who shouted at them, "Who are they? Password!"

Yan Liang glanced at it. Although it was pitch black, after familiarizing himself with the dark environment with the faint moonlight, he could still tell that the opponent was a standard military first team, that is, 50 people.

"Good guy."

Yan Liang's witticism did not make the other party laugh. The bandits who had drunk but not completely drunk looked at each other and shouted again: "Password!"

"There is a password, I'll come and tell you."

Yan Liang smiled and stuck close to the distance, and then he waved the golden back knife in his hand, a cold light flashed, and under the astonished eyes of the bandits, the heads of the team leader rolled far away and they didn't even react.

But the trapped camp behind Yan Liang would not be in a daze, and began to chop and kill with the butcher knife in his hand.

"Enemy attack! Run! It's an enemy attack!" The bandits finally reacted and began to flee. Some of them ran towards the cottage, and some ran in the opposite direction.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain and the heavy armor of the trapped camp, he couldn't run fast, so he ran clean in a short time.

"Quick! Don't run away Zhang Yan!" Seeing this, Zhao Yun urged everyone to quicken their pace.

"Get up quickly! Get up, everyone. An enemy is coming up the mountain. The king's team has been killed. Get up quickly!" The bandit who ran back to the stronghold grabbed the gong and beat it desperately.

The bandits who had fallen all over the village shouted impatiently, "Stop making noise!"

A few sporadic people stood up, their minds were very confused, and they probably understood what it meant, but they were so weak that they couldn't even walk steadily, let alone hold weapons.

The bandits ran to report to Zhang Yan, but Zhang Yan was so drunk that he died, let alone the sound of gongs and drums, at this time, stabbing him twice probably would not have any reaction.

In desperation, he simply abandoned the village and fled.

Zhao Yun, who rushed into the cottage, couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, Wen Chou's hanging heart also relaxed, it seemed that it was not an ambush.

"You stay outside, brothers, let's go in and look for Zhang Yan!" After Zhao Yun issued the military order, the trapped camp quickly took action.

They didn't do anything to those bandits who were unconscious. They just stood in a team of 50 people in a place with a wide view, locking these people in, and at the same time preventing bandits from rushing in from outside.

"General Zhao, here!" Zhao Yun only found five or six village halls when he saw a man dressed in red beckoning to him.

The three rushed over quickly, and after kicking open the door, they saw that Zhang Yan was completely drunk, and another girl was by his side.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou even went over with an oil lamp to see clearly that the face was indeed Zhang Yan, and then the two brothers looked at each other, Yan Liang said dully: "My lord can't beat Zhang Yan after six or seven years, that's all. Is it easy to be cleaned up by the Marquis of Lanling?"

They feel as if they are dreaming, isn't this a bit too childish.

"Marquis of Lanling, it's too easy to earn military merits by fighting with him."

Wen Chou laughed speciously, then looked at Zhao Yun and asked, "What should we do next? Take him down the mountain?"

After all, so many people ran away just now, if all the surrounding bandits were gathered together, there would be tens of thousands of people, and it was impossible for these hundreds of people to stop them.

Even if the three of them don't have war horses now, they won't get much benefit.

"No need."

Zhao Yun leaned against the door frame and said softly: "Zhang Yan is in our hands, others dare not move rashly, just wait, when he wakes up, there is still something for him to do."

Yan Liangwen and Chou looked at each other and nodded knowingly, "Then, let's go out and guard."

This place was handed over to Zhao Yun, and the two brothers went out to join the camp to prevent the bandits from getting reinforcements.

However, seeing them drunk like this, it is estimated that Zhang Yan will not be able to wake up until dawn.
