Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 252 Choice 1
Gongsun Xu led the army to Montenegro soon, but he did not launch an attack immediately. At this moment, Gongsun Xu has to face not only the 30 Black Mountain army, but also hundreds of thousands of people in this deep mountain. I feel capable of conquering Montenegro.

Furthermore, Li Damu and Huang Tao's subordinates were exhausted after such a rapid march. The Black Mountain Army who surrendered had never experienced such a long-distance trek, even when fleeing for their lives before. Ordered a temporary rest.

However, this army can be corrected for the time being, but the monitoring on the Montenegro side cannot be relaxed. Moreover, Gongsun Xu hopes to resolve the Montenegro army peacefully. If force must be used, Gongsun Xu is unwilling.

On the side of the Black Mountain Camp, Zhang Yan has already called several military meetings, and the remaining leaders of the Black Mountain Army are more convinced by Zhang Yan. Therefore, what Zhang Yan asks them to do now, they will not sing against the tune under normal circumstances.

But the matter of the northern border army coming to the door is quite special, and Zhang Yan does not dare to make the decision privately. The key is that he cannot make the decision. Nearly a million lives of the Black Mountain Army are in his hands. Can he easily make the decision? .

It was another military meeting. All the leaders of the Black Mountain Army were here. Zhang Yan looked at the people in the tent. Everyone knew that the topic of today's meeting must be how to deal with the Northern Army. Whispering.

Seeing that everyone was discussing, Zhang Yan understood that before the northern border army came up, he should come up with a charter, so Zhang Yan asked: "Everyone, in the past few days, we are all for the northern border army. Things have been a headache, today, are you sure?"

After Zhang Yan had spoken, the others naturally did not dare to interrupt. After a while, seeing that no one answered, Zhang Yan continued to add: "The lives of millions of people in Montenegro are in our hands. Today, we must determine what to do. How to deal with the Northern Xinjiang Army, otherwise, when the Northern Xinjiang Army comes to the door, what will we use to resist."

Hearing this, everyone in the tent started discussing again, and after a while, a leader stood up and said: "Everyone, let me tell you, the Northern Army has less than 10 people, and it is said that after Li Damu and Huang Long surrendered to the Northern Army, It also followed, that is to say, except for those who surrendered, the strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army will not exceed [-]. On the other hand, in our army, everyone can be a soldier. Is my million-dollar Black Mountain Army still less than [-]? Wanbeijiang Army?"

Hearing this, some people nodded, some were silent, Zhang Yan frowned, and he said to the standing leader: "Zhang Baiqi, I understand what you mean, sit down."

This person's surname is Zhang, but a leader of the Black Mountain Army. Because he likes white horses, he calls himself Zhang Baiqi.Its original name, I am afraid that few people know it. The reason why Zhang Yan dislikes him is because there is news that Zhang Baiqi is closer to the Huns. Now this is the moment when the lives of millions of people in Montenegro are at stake. Zhang Yan No one is allowed to be selfish.

Zhang Baiqi naturally heard the dissatisfaction in Zhang Yan's tone, but he sat down obediently. After Li Damu and the others left, basically no one in the Black Mountain Army dared to directly compete with Zhang Yan. His prestige is undeniable in the Black Mountain Army, so Zhang Baiqi didn't want to make Zhang Yan loathe him.

However, after Zhang Baiqi finished speaking, the rest of the people did not continue to express their opinions. They are not sure whether they want to be enemies with the Northern Xinjiang Army. Moreover, a few days ago, the Huns came to the door and said that they wanted to form an alliance. They didn't explicitly refuse, and they didn't know what Zhang Yan's situation was now.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Zhang Yan had no choice but to call the roll call, so Zhang Yan looked at an older leader in the tent and said, "Bai Rao, tell me, what should our army do? Right now, your qualifications are counted in the tent." Oldest, we all want to hear your opinion."

The leader of Bai Rao has not communicated with others since the beginning of the battle, but no one dares to despise him. You must know that before Zhang Yan became an official leader of the Black Mountain Army, this Bai Rao's status was also very important. It is only second to Zhang Niujiao at the beginning.

Lei Gong, who was shot and killed by Huang Xu for refusing to surrender to the Northern Border Army some time ago, was originally just a lieutenant general of Bai Rao. However, in a battle, Bai Rao was unfortunately injured. Lei Gong recruited most of Bai Rao's men to stand on his own, and after Bai Rao recovered from his injury, he had no choice but to admit what had happened.

Although Bai Rao's strength has been greatly reduced this time, no one in the Black Mountain Army dared to underestimate him. Many people have rumored that Bai Rao of the Black Mountain Army is not easy, and that the East Commander Wang Gong was his defeated general.It is said that Bai Rao is very good at watching the weather, and what kind of spells he uses can turn the weather into darkness.

Of course, most of these rumors are exaggerated, but this just reflects the strength of this person.

Now, Zhang Yan directly asked Bai Rao to express his opinion by name, and Bai Rao had to say something, but since this guy suffered the accident, he has become quite low-key, and he usually does not express his opinion in military meetings. , even if he had to, he hesitated.

Seeing that he couldn't escape this time, Bai Rao stood up, and he nodded to Zhang Yan first. After all, Zhang Yan was only his junior. Then, Bai Rao turned his head to look at Zhang Baiqi, and then sneered. The sneer actually made Zhang Baiqi feel uncomfortable.

Just when everyone thought that Bai Rao would express some profound insights, Bai Rao said lightly: "The Black Mountain Army has millions of people, plus we have enough food, grass and supplies now, although we exchanged with the Huns a few days ago. The battle horses consumed a lot of food and grass, but the food and grass for this year's winter should be enough.

The number of the Northern Army is indeed not very large. No matter how strong their fighting power is, they will not be able to fight up the mountain. If you think that our army's food and grass can support us to fight the Northern Army, then we will fight the Northern Army to the end. What's the matter?However, is our purpose to seek death? "

Zhang Yan nodded when he heard this, and he suddenly understood Bai Rao's meaning. No matter how powerful the Black Mountain Army is, they can only stay in the mountains after all. Moreover, once the food and grass are exhausted, the Black Mountain Army will only be beaten. However, the other leaders thought that Bai Rao was supporting the Black Mountain Army and the Northern Xinjiang Army to continue the fight. Zhang Baiqi hadn't understood Bai Rao's meaning, and he was still thinking.

Everyone continued to discuss. At this time, Zhang Yan stood up and Lu sighed: "It is definitely not a wise move to fight the Black Mountain Army."

In fact, Zhang Yan wanted to say this sentence a long time ago, and everyone in the tent must understand this truth. The Northern Border Army is supported by Bingzhou and Youzhou, and there is more righteousness of the court. If the army is the enemy for one day, then he will bear the infamy of carrying the bandit army for one more day.

Zhang Baiqi wanted to say something more at this time, but he heard Bai Rao clearing his throat and saying: "In my opinion, what should the Black Mountain Army choose? It doesn't matter what we say. If the eldest lady didn't come today, this decision can't be made." Next, I think it's better to consult the eldest lady first."

Everyone nodded in agreement. The eldest lady Bai Ruokou was talking about naturally referred to Zhang Jiao's daughter, Zhang Ning. Although Zhang Jiao's influence has diminished in recent years, his image in the old Yellow Turban Army has not changed. Naturally, as Zhang Jiao's daughter, she was also respected by the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army.

In addition, Zhang Ning usually understands profound things in simple terms and concentrates on studying medical skills. Zhang Ling will solve any difficult and miscellaneous diseases for the soldiers. Therefore, Zhang Ning's image is sacred and inviolable among the soldiers of the Montenegro Army. Besides, Zhang Yan also knew that Zhang Ning had unique views on military affairs, and often Zhang Yan had to ask him for advice.

However, some people are always easily deceived by interests. When Zhang Baiqi heard that he had to wait for Zhang Ling to make a decision, he immediately retorted: "Missy is just a woman, how knowledgeable is she? Don't bother her with trivial matters, and besides, the eldest lady is very sick now, so I'm afraid it's appropriate to see us."

"Presumptuous, when is it your turn to come, talk about Missy." Zhang Yan immediately interrupted Zhang Baiqi and said angrily: "Forget it, the Northern Xinjiang Army will not fight up for the time being, let's talk about it after I ask Missy , that's all for today, from now on, I don't want to hear any disrespectful words about the eldest lady."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yan began to issue the order to evict the guests. Zhang Baiqi knew that other people's attitude towards him was not very good, so he didn't make any trouble and ran out directly.

After a few hours, Zhang Yan appeared near Zhang Ning's residence, which was under martial law. The main reason was that Zhang Yan came back and learned that Zhang Ning was seriously ill for some reason. What was even more strange was that the entire Montenegro army No one can cure it.

According to the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army who protected Zhang Ning, Zhang Ning became like this after he went out to collect herbs. No one could explain why. They are afraid that if they are not careful, Zhang Ning's condition will be aggravated.

Zhang Yan walked to Zhang Ning's room. He found the maid who was serving Zhang Ning and asked, "How is Miss now? Is there anything unusual?"

The maid shook her head and replied: "Miss has fallen asleep again since she woke up last time, but she has ordered us to make medicine for her, and we have not stopped for a day. It has been more than three days, why hasn't she woke up yet?" ?”

Zhang Yan sighed after hearing this. He was worried about Zhang Ning's situation in his heart, but the Northern Border Army would not relax. If Zhang Ning was still awake, then Zhang Yan had to make up his own mind. Before the attitude of the Northern Xinjiang Army, Zhang Yan still wanted to hear Zhang Ning's opinion.

Seeing that Zhang Ning still couldn't wake up, Zhang Yan could only sigh and said, "If the young lady wakes up, please notify me immediately. Besides, you should do what the young lady tells you. You must take the medicine according to the young lady's prescription, and there must be no mistakes. "

After hearing this, the two maids knelt down and replied, "I understand."

After Zhang Yan stayed for a while, he felt that waiting here was not an option, and he could only wait for Zhang Ning to wake up by himself. Then, Zhang Yan ordered the surrounding soldiers to step up their patrols, and then he had to go back first. Reorganize the soldiers and horses.
