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

254 Chapter 253 Walking on Lin Mo's chessboard

After dawn, the bandits in the village woke up one after another. When they opened their eyes, what they saw was not the aftertaste of last night's hangover from the siblings, but the shining sword in the camp. They were all confused, even Apart from scratching his head and looking around, he was a little at a loss.

When they fully reacted, they could do nothing but follow the guidance of the trapped camp and go to the designated place to hold the prisoners. After all, they had no weapons in their hands, let alone armor.

There are 3000 people in Dazhai, and there is no guy in his hands that is no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

No one dared to try to resist, because they saw with their own eyes that Du Chang, the second in charge, obediently obeyed the command with his head folded.

Not to mention them, even Zhang Yan, who woke up after being poured cold water on Yan Liang who had lost his patience, wanted to ask who these brothers were.

Zhang Yan didn't know Zhao Yun, but he had seen Yan Liangwen Chou, and he also knew that they had surrendered to Lv Bu. Naturally, he also understood the fact that he had become a captive of Lv Bu.

For a moment, my heart was filled with annoyance. I didn't expect that just because of a careless decision, the Montenegrin Army, which had been working hard for more than ten years, was involved.

Even Yuan Shao, who was at the peak of his strength, would be disbanded in just one night with his helpless Black Mountain Army
However, he couldn't figure it out, shouldn't these two people follow Lu Bu to fight in Youzhou? Fan Yang is five or six hundred miles away, so how could they appear here.

Moreover, there are more than 30 cottages on the Taihang Mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, and I will move my nest regularly. Before turning, even my subordinates don't know how they accurately positioned themselves.

This thing is very strange.

But, everything is unimportant. After all, it is a man who has seen big wind and waves. Even if he is a bandit, his military career for more than ten years has already made this legendary bandit out of his usual banditry. , With a bit of general demeanor, he glanced at Yan Liangwenchou and the unknown general in the room, and sneered.

"Okay, with you, it only took one night to smash the Black Mountain Army that I have painstakingly managed for more than ten years. The two of you are also considered to be famous in the northern country. They fell into your hands. I admit it. If you want to kill or scrape, just give the master a good time."

Probably, they didn't expect that Zhang Yan was still a tough guy, tougher than many warriors on the battlefield, and they didn't know how to say the threatening words prepared in advance.

After Yan Liang glanced at Zhao Yun and Wen Chou, he stepped on the bed and shouted sharply: "You are quite crazy when you become a prisoner. I will give you a chance to survive. Help Wenhou clean up Xiahou Dun, so I won't kill you." !"

Zhang Yan didn't even look at him, and raised his head nonchalantly, exposing his neck in front of Yan Liang, provocatively.

In fact, it is true that Zhang Yan is tough, otherwise, how could he have the confidence to deal with Yuan Shao for so many years, and he could have both ways in the face of Lu Bu and Cao Cao's solicitation.

But what he did now was just because he felt that he was going to die anyway, and he didn't want to make a wedding dress for Lu Bu.

Lu Bu never intercepted the secret letter between him and Cao Cao, but Zhang Yan didn't know about this, but after letting the envoy fool him, he also believed that Lu Bu had the secret letter on hand.

Based on his understanding of Lu Bu's mind, or in other words, the mind of a prince who was able to become so powerful that he now dominates the Northern Kingdom, he would never tolerate a bandit who had once been in charge of Cao Cao to stay in his territory and serve as the governor.

What's more, in these years of plundering in the Northern Kingdom, no family, tycoon, or wealthy businessman has suffered from his own losses. Now that Lu Bu is the lord of the Northern Kingdom, even if he is willing to make an exception, the people below will not agree.

"you"

Feeling insulted, Yan Liang picked up the golden back knife and started to strike, "See if your neck is as hard as your mouth!"

Wen Chou on the side hurriedly stopped him. Wen Chou didn't know what Lin Mo's plan was, but after taking so much effort to capture Zhang Yan alive, he certainly couldn't just kill him like this.

"General Zhang, what advantage did Cao Cao give you, why did you give up on him?" Zhao Yun, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. He stared at the once unparalleled bandit leader in front of him, and really didn't understand why the other party would submit to him. Lu Bu resisted so much.

Zhang Yan just sneered, without even looking at Zhao Yun, "Who are you?"

"Zhao Yun."

Zhang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he slowly looked at Zhao Yun, even wanting to stand up and walk forward to see more clearly, but Yan Liang pressed him down.

Then he frowned and asked, "Changshan Zhao Zilong?"

Seeing Zhao Yun nod his head, Zhang Yan burst out laughing loudly and did not stop laughing for a long time.

"Okay, okay, you are Zhao Zilong. You finally met me today. Not bad, not bad. You have really earned face for us."

Zhang Yan wiped away the tears shed from laughing, and continued to laugh: "In the past, people always scolded me for discrediting our Zhending's name, calling Zhending a bandit county, until you Xiao Guan showed power, and the World War I Famous all over the world, who doesn't know that our Changshan Zhending Zhao Zilong won the three armies bravely, I admire you."

The two didn't know each other, but they were real fellow villagers, both were from Changshan Zhending, that is, they were from different villages.

Zhang Yan was very happy when he first heard about Zhao Yun's achievements in Xiaoguan, because he saw the glory of a real person in Zhao Yun, and his hometown would no longer be called a bandit.

Therefore, for Zhao Yun, he respected him out of his heart.

It's just that they didn't expect to meet each other in this desperate situation.

"General Zhang, I would like to come back with you to lower the temperature. In the future, if you and I join forces, it may not be impossible to be a true double jade." Zhao Yun took the opportunity to persuade.

But, Zhang Yan didn't change her mind because of this.

In his eyes, Zhao Yun is of course a radiant and true glory, but after all, he is just a warrior under Lu Bu's command, so how can he help himself.

As a fellow countryman, it's fine if you don't help him, so don't hold him back at this time, that would really embarrass Zhending.

"General Zilong, if you think about the friendship with your fellow countrymen, please burn down the village and dismiss the troops after my death. Don't kill the little brats. Many of them are from Changshan." Zhang Yan looked deeply at Zhao Yun.

This is his only wish.

These words made Zhao Yun feel that he was far from the image of the bandits in the rumors.

"General Zhang, let me ask you a question. I hope you will tell the truth about the friendship in your hometown. Have you agreed with Cao Cao that when Marquis Wen conquers Youzhou and Yuan Xi can't hold on, you will lead your troops to harass Changshan and Zhongshan?" Xiahoudun took advantage of the situation and crossed the Taihang Mountains to enter the hinterland of Jizhou to attack the city?"

This time, Zhang Yan couldn't calm down anymore, and an uncharacteristic panic appeared on his face.

Coupled with the timing of their appearance and their precise positioning, they subconsciously blurted out: "Is there any eyeliner in the village, is it Du Chang, Chen Xi, Wang Mao, or Zhang Quan?"

The four people Zhang Yan said were the four captains of the Black Mountain Army, but they were actually the No. [-], [-], [-], and [-] leader of the Black Mountain Bandit.

Only a few of them knew about this matter, and it was impossible for Zhao Yun to know all of this.

Zhao Yun let out a long sigh of relief, nodded slowly and said, "Sure enough, it's as Yunwen guessed."

Yunwen?

Lin Yunwen?
Zhang Yan was suspicious. What was guessing? How could he guess such a secret?

This guy can't really know Liuding Liujia's magic as rumored in the market.

Zhao Yun walked up to Zhang Yan, stared at him intently, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, Yun guarantees with his personality, if you assist Marquis Wen to destroy Xiahou Dun, not to mention the people in the village, even General Zhang will be safe and sound. It just depends on whether the general is trustworthy."

Zhao Yun, who was able to break into the savior surrounded by thousands of Cao troops in Xiaoguan for the kindness of Lin Mo, had long been known as a man of trustworthiness and righteousness.

Coupled with the fact that he is also a real person, Zhao Yun's words had a great impact on Zhang Yan.

"Zhang Yan, Zilong is different from us. He is not an ordinary general under the command of Marquis Wen. If there is one person in this world who can save you, it must be Zilong." Wen Chou took the opportunity to help.

Zhang Yan and Zhao Yun looked at each other, the firmness in their eyes reassured him.

After a long time, he finally sighed, "General Zhao, even though I am willing to help, Xiahou Dun is not assigned by me. The two parties are carrying out Cao Cao's orders separately. If I trust him secretly, it will only make him suspicious." .”

In the current situation, there are indeed only 2 people in Bingzhou, but if Lu Bu leads an army to conquer it grandly, Xiahoudun only needs to stand firm and wait for help. Cao Cao will have plenty of time to send troops to rescue, and there will be no benefit.

The only way is to write a letter to lure Xiahou Dun out.

However, this path simply doesn't work.

Even before he sent troops to harass the Northern Kingdom, Xiahou Dun did not dare to cross the Taihang Mountains rashly. After several defeats, the guy became more cautious.

Zhao Yun just smiled and shook his head, "General Zhang, you only need to send troops to attack Changshan, Zhongshan and other counties as planned. We will take care of the rest."

"What are you guys trying to do?" Zhang Yan was a little puzzled. Now that he knew Cao Cao's plan, why did he still play like this?
It must not be an ambush, because there is no need for this at all. As the soul of the Black Mountain Army, as long as I kill myself, no one can lead this team, even Du Chang does not have this prestige. "Just do as you're told, I'll tell you later."

Zhao Yun stepped forward to help Zhang Yan, who was sitting on the couch, and said in a deep voice: "I am not threatening you, but I still want to convey Yunwen's original words to you."

"Marquis of Lanling? What does he have to say?"

Zhao Yun opened his mouth, as if a little embarrassed, after all, he was from the same town, and he was so cooperative.

Wen Chou on the side coughed, crossed his arms and said: "The exact words of Marquis Lanling, if we can catch you once, we can catch you a second time. If you dare to play tricks, not only the 3 or [-] people of your Montenegrin Army will be arrested, but , together with their family members, the entire Taihang Mountains will be buried with you, regardless of gender, age or child."

Hearing this, Zhang Yan's eyebrows tightened. This was the first time he heard such threatening words.

When he wanted to reply with a few harsh words, Zhao Yun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yunwen can do what he says, don't doubt him.

However, as long as you act according to our plan, you won't have any troubles, not only for yourself but also for the old and young on the mountain. "

Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes, he had heard that these boys were unparalleled in strategy, but he didn't know that his mind was also so vicious.

But it's also true to think about it. Can you help a desperate Lu Bu grow up to the power he has today, can he be a kind person?

He took a deep breath, smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, let's talk, when will we do it."

"Don't worry, wait for our fast horse to send the letter back first."

Seeing that Zhang Yan had completely succumbed, Zhao Yun's tone softened a lot, "General Zhang, we still have to chatter about you on the mountain these days, please forgive me."

I understand, hostage, if you don't do what you say, you are going to chop me up, right?

Zhang Yan nodded helplessly, "Okay, anyway, I have been in love with General Zhao for a long time, and I do have something I want to tell you, but you guys still have to let it out, otherwise it will leak out sooner or later."

"Naturally." Zhao Yun nodded.

In this matter, it is impossible to do it without leakage. The only thing that can be done is to use people with confidence.

Therefore, Zhao Yun simply asked the trapped camp to release the people from the captive camp, and then asked Zhang Yan to appease the soldiers.

Even in the process, their people have already taken up weapons. If they want to resist, they can actually do it.

Because since dawn, people have already started to kill people from the surrounding cottages, but because Zhang Yan and Du Chang were all captured, some of them were wary of rats, and they also lacked a backbone, so there was no action for a long time, and they just stayed in the village Outside.

Perhaps it was Zhang Yan's promise, or maybe it was because Lin Mo's threat was too cruel, and there were too many unbelievable things in this action, Zhang Yan felt that Lin Mo really had the ability to bring him down again.

Therefore, he chose to compromise.

After a soothing meal, the people in the village returned to calm, and at dusk, people in other villages also returned the same way, as if all this had never happened.

But Zhang Yan knew in his heart that before long, the Black Mountain Army's designation would no longer exist, and Zhang Yan's name in the Taihang Mountains would also be wiped out from the world.

But he was quite curious about how Lin Mo wanted to use himself to catch Xiahou Dun since Xiahou Dun would not be appointed by him.

At Fan Yang's front line, Lin Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the letter from Zhao Yun.

It seemed that luck was good this time. Zhang Yan just moved his den more than 100 miles southward. If he went out of the border of Zhongshan Kingdom, he might be in vain this time.

"Capture the thief first and capture the king first, this battle was fought beautifully, Yunwen."

I really didn't expect that the problem that had plagued the Northland for more than ten years would be disintegrated overnight by his son-in-law with hundreds of people and zero casualties. Or Cao thief could say that his son-in-law alone can stop a million troops.

"But I don't understand something."

Lu Bu looked at the bamboo slips on the desk, groped his chin and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yan has been doing evil in the Northland for many years, and the big families in the Northland who killed him will be grateful to us, and we can also take this opportunity to cross the Taihang Mountains and attack Bingzhou directly. Why not do it."

"It's useless."

Lin Mo shook his head. It was already late March, but there was still snow that had not yet melted in Youzhou, so he still had to wear a big cloak to ward off the cold, and couldn't keep his hands away from the brazier. "Cao Cao must have arranged a lot for this northern country now." Xiahou Dun will know the eyeliner as soon as we move it, so if we want to move it, we must move it reasonably.

Furthermore, even if we can reach Bingzhou smoothly, if he sticks to Taiyuan, with 2 people, we will not be able to attack by force. Once the battle is frustrated, I am afraid that we will be unable to resist Cao Cao's aid, and even Yuan Xi will take the opportunity to attack. "

"Makes sense."

After saying this, Lu Bu showed a dazed expression, "Then, we can only wait for Zhang Yan's people to fight some battles in Changshan and Zhongshan, and then send troops to rescue?"

Lin Mo nodded, "Before that, let's move Dazhai a hundred miles forward to form a siege on Zhuoxian County. At least let Xiahou Dun believe that we can't evacuate now."

Xiahou Dun is indeed a general who is often defeated, but he is not a fool. He will not recklessly transfer all the remaining people out of Taiyuan.

If you want to catch big fish, you must be willing to use fragrant bait.

After Lu Bu nodded knowingly, he gave the order happily, and the army set off.

On the way, due to the problem of troop coordination, the marching speed was a bit slow, and Lu Bu was very unhappy in his eyes.

There is no way, all the generals who can be used have been transferred out, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu, Gan Ning, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Wei Yue, and even Xu Sheng, Yu Jin, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan are not there.

Sure enough, in order to achieve great success, more generals need to be recruited.

After this war is over, if Zhang Yan can be recruited into his subordinates, he should be a very useful talent.

He was able to lead the black bandits to toss in the northern country for so many years, and he had the ability.

Plus, he's pretty good at it.

Zhang Yan's personal martial arts can compete with Wei Yue [-]-[-]. You must know that before Lin Mo assisted him, the three most capable fighters under his command were Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Wei Yue.

Therefore, after such an analysis, Zhang Yan is definitely a general, even a handsome person.

I hope he can be more aware of current affairs.

The next direction is basically following Lin Mo's thoughts.

The army besieged the city of Zhuoxian, but they only besieged but did not attack. During this process, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's general flags were flying under the city gate. Yuan's army in Zhuoxian was frightened and panicked all day long.

Yuan Xi was working very hard. He had been working hard to calm everyone's emotions, because he firmly believed that as long as he couldn't hold on, they wouldn't be able to attack in a while.

According to the original plan, Zhang Yan from Taihang Mountain and Xiahou Dun from Bingzhou would take this opportunity to harass Lu Bu's rear, making him fall into the quagmire of fighting on all sides, and drag down this giant beast.

The only thing that comforted him was that Lu Bu did not attack the city by force. Probably, he hoped to attack his heart. The city defense of Zhuo County is still relatively solid.

The direction of the overall situation did not disappoint him. The Black Mountain bandits went down the mountain and began to wreak havoc and plunder in the two counties of Changshan and Zhongshan.

But this time is different from the past, they didn't attack the city to loot, more often it seems to be just to make some noise.

After receiving the emergency documents from the two counties, Lu Bu mobilized [-] troops to rescue them.

At the same time, the Yan Liangwen Chou flag standing outside Zhuo County also disappeared.

Therefore, although Yuan Xi, who was under siege, did not receive the battle report, he guessed that there must be something wrong with the rear, which is why Lu Bu transferred them away before the battle.

Naturally, Yuan Jun in the city breathed a sigh of relief, as if he really saw the hope of surviving. For a while, the morale of the army improved a lot.

Naturally, I dare not go out of the city, but Lu Jun will not attack the city anyway, so don't worry, Cao Cao and Zhang Yan will not let us down.
