Lu Dynasty

Chapter 542
Zhang Yan's rebellion made Yuan Shao nervous. Although Yuan Shao had an army of one million, most of his troops were no different from Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, and even worse than Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army.Depressed, Yuan Shao immediately sent Gao Lan to deal with Zhang Yan.Gao Lan, who is a pillar of the Four Courts of Hebei, but not as famous as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, was naturally very happy to get such an opportunity, but Yuan Shao only gave him [-] soldiers, Gao Lan had a headache!Headaches belong to headaches, Gao Lan still has to bite the bullet!For difficult things, the credit is great!Unfortunately, Zhang Yan is obviously not such an easy person to deal with.He is on par with Gao Lan in terms of martial arts and strategy, and even surpasses him!After several confrontations, Gao Lan lost to Zhang Yan.Gao Lan had no choice but to ask Yuan Shao for help!

Yuan Shao almost sent someone to chop Gao Lan up when he received Gao Lan's plea for help!In the end, Yuan Shao roared in the big tent for a long time before he decided to ask Qu Yi to help Gao Lan.Yuan Shao only had one request, which was to let Qu Yi get rid of Zhang Yan in the shortest possible time.Qu Yi deserved to be the number one general under Yuan Shao's command, and as soon as he took office, he beat Zhang Yan to the ground and defeated him!Of course, this is because Zhang He was abducted by me!After receiving Qu Yi's battle report, Yuan Shao was satisfied.From Yuan Shao's point of view, his troops should be as strong as Qu Yi's attacking Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan's military rations have always been supplied by Yuan Shao, and now that he has betrayed Yuan Shao, he no longer has a fixed source of military rations.Even if he defeated Qu Yi and Gao Lan and snatched their food, it would not help. What's more, Zhang Yan was beaten miserably by Qu Yi!Now Zhang Yan can only find a lord to take refuge in is the best policy.Zhang Yan was very hesitant. He didn't know which prince could accommodate and treat his Yellow Turban well.However, Zhang Yan didn't have time to think about this, Qu Yi and Gao Lan were very close to him!
To be honest, Yuan Shao and Cao are far apart.Cao captured all the people in Jimin Restaurant before he attacked me.In order to prevent news from leaking, Xuchang was also blocked.And Yuan Shao has been at war with me for nearly five months, yet he didn't pull out any of my Jimin restaurants in Jizhou.It's just that Xu You's family was a little bit more diligent, and they went to rob once in a few days.However, I don't care about Xu You coming to rob.One day, everything that Xu You robbed will come back to me!
As soon as Zhang Yan rebelled, my intelligence department knew about it.Jia Xu sent the information to Lu Bu and Ju Shou in a hurry. After I read it, I asked Jia Xu to send people from the intelligence department to contact them to see if they could persuade Zhang Yan to join our army.Just when Zhang Yan was beaten up by Gao Lan and Qu Yi, people from our army's intelligence department found him.Zhang Yan was very puzzled when he heard that someone asked to see me. When he knew it was from me, he immediately refused to see my envoy.What Zhang Yan meant was: "Lu Feng is already in danger, I, Zhang Yan, will not be so stupid as to be in the same boat with him!" Zhang Yan believed the news spread by Jia Xu that I was poisoned and died, and my younger brother Lu Bu was a reckless man. In addition, my son who was not an adult was attacked by foreigners, Yuan Shao, and Cao. Zhang Yan felt that our army It is already hard to protect himself, if he brings people to join me, the biggest possibility is to burn everything!Zhang Yan, who didn't know what to do, rejected my kindness. I can't just give up my military purpose for Zhang Yan.Since he doesn't want to defect to me, I don't force it, anyway, he is the one who is anxious now!

Zhang Yan's army rations were getting less and less day by day, so he really wanted to find a prince to join him.Originally, I was the best choice, because our army has the most food among the princes, but Zhang Yan can't guarantee that my power will last for a few days.If I perish, the yellow scarves under him will only be able to eat for a few days at most, which is tantamount to quenching thirst with poison!Apart from me, Zhang Yan really doesn't know who else he can take refuge in!Liu Biao and Sun Ce can't save the fire from far away, and Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu don't even think about it.Cao and Yuan Shao are allies, even if Cao takes in Zhang Yan's Yellow Turban, he may return Zhang Yan to Yuan Shao!Now there are two paths in front of Zhang Yan: the first is to come to our army to live and die with me; the second is to defect to Cao at the risk of being killed!The first way, Zhang Yan and his yellow turban thieves may be finished, and the second way, Zhang Yan will probably be finished!

No one wants to die if they can survive, and Zhang Yan is no exception.Just when Zhang Yan was in a dilemma, he suddenly remembered Zhang Niujiao who had given the Yellow Turban thief to him before he died!It was because of Zhang Niujiao that Zhang Yan changed her original surname from Chu to Zhang!Thinking of Zhang Niujiao's care for him in every possible way, of Zhang Niujiao's earnest teachings, and of Zhang Niujiao's expression and expectation of entrusting these yellow scarves to him before his death, Zhang Yan decided that even if he died, he would still give the 20 yellow scarves to him. A way out!So Zhang Yan made up his mind to defect to Cao at the risk of being sent back to Yuan Shao by Cao. As long as Cao accepted and gave the 20 yellow scarf thieves a bite to eat, Zhang Yan would be willing to die!
Zhang Yan is just one of the generals among the Yellow Turban Thieves. His ability to leave his name in history shows that he is extraordinary. More Yellow Turban generals have been submerged in the long river of history.It is undeniable that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was the trigger for the rapid collapse of the Han Dynasty, and even the inducing factor of the chaos. There are still many Yellow Turban generals who are simply robbers, but we cannot deny that many Yellow Turban generals also have ideals and ambitions. people.Just like people like Guan Hai, Liu Pi, Gong Du, and Zhang Niujiao, they rebelled just to let themselves and the common people have a full meal!Although they used the wrong method and did not find the right method, they are still admirable people.With complicated emotions, Zhang Yan led the yellow scarf bandits under his command, and slowly approached Cao's territory under the pursuit of Qu Yi and Gao Lan.

You know, 20 people is not a small number. Zhang Yan approached Cao's territory with the yellow scarves, and someone informed Cao Ang who was staying in Xuchang.Cao Ang did not dare to make a decision about Zhang Yan's troops who came with unknown purpose.After notifying Cao Pi and Jiang Ji, Cao Ang reported the matter to Cao, and Cao immediately sent an envoy to contact Zhang Yan!Originally, Zhang Yanjun was the Yellow Turban Bandits, and Yuan Shao never gave them enough food, and Yuan Shao never distributed them military uniforms. The difference between Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army and the refugees is really not that big.Cao's envoy came to Zhang Yanjun's camp. Looking at the dilapidated tents and the dilapidated scene in the camp, he thought he had come to a refugee camp!Although Zhang Yan's soldiers seem to have escaped from a refugee camp, their military appearance and discipline are so strict that people dare not underestimate them!
