Zhang Yan was originally a remnant of the Yellow Turbans, but because he followed the 18th princes to discuss the Dong Hui Alliance, he was able to clear his name and was awarded the position of general who would defeat the enemy. He barely had an official status, but In fact, all the princes still regarded him as a bandit. Except for Gongsun Zan, who had many contacts with him because he wanted to help him, the princes in the world did not bother to have anything to do with him. Because of this, the information about the Montenegrin Army The system is really unsmooth. No, the issue of the canonization edict issued by Cao Cao has caused a stir in Hebei Province. Zhang Yan just woke up from a dream, and in a hurry, he hurriedly sent Sun Qing, Wang Dang and other military officers to The generals were summoned to the Chinese army's tent to discuss countermeasures.
"Report to the general. A man came from outside the camp. He claimed to be the new Youzhou shepherd Liu He and his subordinate Liu Fu. He said he came under the orders of his master and wanted to discuss important matters with the general in secret."
Although Zhang Yan had a large number of troops, due to his strong banditry habits, all the famous people in the world disdain to join him. Although he also recruited a few unreliable scholars as counselors, it is a pity that they are all mediocre. In the past, he was able to advocate for Zhang Yan. When it came to important matters that related to the overall situation, he couldn't explain the reason at all. He did make some random remarks. The arguments were really lively, but they were of no use at all. It made Zhang Yan's head big. When I was feeling hurt, I saw a military commander on duty rushing in from outside the tent. He bowed to Zhang Yan and said something in a hurry.
"Huh? Pass!"
Hearing that Liu He sent someone to come, Zhang Yan frowned unconsciously. There was no other reason for this. There were a lot of old grudges between the Liu family and the Black Mountain Army. Zhang Yan regarded him as his elder brother. Zhang Niujiao, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, died while attacking Liu Yu. Later, Zhang Yan fought fiercely with the father and son of the six families many times because of his alliance with Gongsun Zan. The blood feud between the two sides had been deep for a long time, and there was nothing to worry about. Talk about, if it were in the past, if Liu He dared to send people, Zhang Yan would not even think about it, and the first responder would order the people to be killed. As for now, the situation of the Montenegrin Army is not good, and Zhang Yan does not dare to be willful. He acted, and after obviously hesitating for a while, he decided to listen to what the visitor had to say before making a decision.
"Someone, Liu Fu, who is working in Youzhou, met General Zhang."
Not long after the military lord who came to report the matter left as promised, he saw a middle-aged man in scholar's uniform walking into the tent with a reserved look on his face. While saluting, he obviously showed a look of reluctance and perfunctoryness. mean.
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
As soon as Liu Fu showed such arrogance, Zhang Yan's face immediately darkened. If he hadn't been worried about the bad situation of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan would have ordered the animal to be dragged down and chopped off.
"This is an important matter. It is related to General Zhang's future. My lord has explained it before, so I can only tell the general personally."
As soon as Zhang Yan's venomous attitude came out, Liu Fu suddenly changed his expression. Without any other reason, he believed that he was working as a state shepherd. In terms of official rank, he was several levels higher than Zhang Yan's Zhonglang General. He had to do it before. He was already very dissatisfied when he saluted Zhang Yan. How could he endure Zhang Yan's bad attitude anymore?
"Here are Zhang's brothers who died. Everything is unpredictable. If you want to say it, say it. If you don't say it, please do it yourself."
Zhang Yan was able to grow from a small band of thieves to the current scale because of the word "loyalty". Because of this, no matter what Liu Fu said, it was absolutely impossible for Zhang Yan to avoid all his confidants.
"you……"
Liu Fu originally believed that his official rank was far above Zhang Yan, and he thought he was here to save Zhang Yan's life. Now he was so ignored by Zhang Yan. He immediately became angry and opened his mouth to scold Zhang Yan for his rudeness.
"Um?"
Before Liu Fu's filthy words could be spoken, Zhang Yanji said coldly. Although he was speechless, this cold snort was full of murderous intent.
"My lord has said that the imperial edict has been issued, and all our Hebei ministries are united to attack the General's Black Mountain Army. Now, not only Gongsun Ming and his son are sharpening their swords, but Yuan Gong is also reorganizing the army. If the General does not protect himself early, there will be no danger to the west. We are all enemies and will die without a burial place!"
After receiving such a cold snort from Zhang Yan, Liu Fu then remembered that although the master in front of him was known as a general who would overcome difficulties, he was actually still a remnant of the Yellow Turbans, with an official rank and so on, and it was obviously difficult to act in front of this beast, and he couldn't help but feel He panicked and no longer dared to act like a superior official, so he hurriedly threatened Zhang Yan.
"You bastard, you thief, you dare to come here and talk nonsense, you should be punished!"
"General, this wolf is rude and should be cut into pieces by a thousand swords!"
"Dogs, how dare you come here and bark? Is it because your grandfather's swords are not fast?"...
Sun Qing and others were rude men who drank from large bowls and ate large pieces of meat. They had already found Liu Fu extremely distasteful. Now when they heard that Liu Fu dared to curse the Black Mountain Army so wildly, they were all furious. , and in an instant, the sound of cursing and the sound of swords being unsheathed came one after another.
"Um!"
Although Zhang Yan was also very angry with Liu Fu's unbridled and arrogant words, he was the commander-in-chief of the first army. He was so angry that he did not burst out with thunder. He only saw him pressing his hands with a livid face, and stopped. After hearing the noise of the crowd, he stared at Liu Fu's face like lightning, and said almost word by word: "What do Liu and Xiao'er want to do, huh?"
"My lord has said that the Gongsun family is the cancer of Youzhou and the real source of trouble. An Neng has stolen the high position of the former general and should be killed as soon as possible. For this reason, my lord and Yuan Gong are ready to join forces to enter Youzhou again. If the general can counterattack and kill Gongsun Xiao'er, my lord and Mr. Yuan will jointly name the general as the former general and take charge of the military power of our Youzhou area. All the princes present can also discuss their merits. As a reward, it is not difficult to ascend to the rank of general. There is great wealth and honor in this world, so please don’t make any mistakes, general."
Although Liu Fu was arrogant and might have been sent by Liu He as a lobbyist, he was quite courageous. Facing the cannibalistic gazes of the Montenegrin army, this man still dared to talk, despite his inexplicable reasons. Not to mention arrogance, he also has the pride of a tough-minded scribe.
"hiss……"
"call……"
"Well……"
The price offered by Liu Fu was not low. Everyone present immediately forgot about their previous indignation. They all gasped involuntarily and focused their eyes sharply on Zhang Yan. It was obvious that all the generals except Gongsun Xu Apart from being restless there, everyone else was moved.
"Someone knows about this, please come and send the guest to the back camp for a while!"
Zhang Yan was obviously surprised by the generous price offered by Liu He. If he could really get it, he would not hesitate to fight Gongsun Ming. However, the matter was so important that he would not dare to make it so easily in front of everyone. Gazing expectantly, Zhang Yan did not rush to make a decision, but waved her hands and drank with a gloomy face. After several guards in front of the tent agreed loudly, they all rushed forward. , half dragged and half raised, Liu Fuxiang was invited out of the Chinese army's tent...
