Chapter 1344: Changes in Changshan State (2)
Remember in one second【】
Seeing Yuan Shao react so quickly, Xu You was impressed from the bottom of his heart this time, and bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, just as Your Majesty thought, after nearly a year of infiltration, I finally achieved results. Yu Du and Zuo Xi Zhangba, two generals in the Black Mountain Army, were finally persuaded by me and were willing to lead troops to surrender."
"Not only that, I also found some abnormalities in the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan's headquarters from the words of several people, so I sent my confidants to sneak into several cities such as Zhending and Jingxing. After several twists and turns, I finally confirmed one thing. The leader of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan, has secretly surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Now, under the arrangement of the Tang Dynasty, the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan's headquarters has formed a combat battalion, and its organization and weapons and equipment are exactly the same as those of the other battalions of the Tang Army."
"Is this true?" Yuan Shao heard this, his face was as dark as water;
"Absolutely right, the people I sent out have been After much trouble, I finally got the news. Now Zhang Yan is the General Pingnan of the Tang State. His trusted generals Qing Niu Jiao, Zhang Baiqi and Huang Long were recommended by Zhang Yan as Zhonglang Jiang, while Ping Han, Feiyan, Bai Bo, Da Ji and Fu Yun were appointed as Xiaowei. "
"All this news came from the inner house of the generals under Zhang Yan. Generals Yu and Zuo were also angry that Zhang Yan had surrendered to the Tang State without telling them and ignored them, their allies. In addition, I have repeatedly moved them with emotion and reason, so they finally agreed to surrender. "
"Moreover, the two generals are willing to cooperate with the army to seize Zhending. If the plan is well planned, it is not impossible to annihilate Zhang Yan's army. "
Xu You was chattering about his merits on the side. Yuan Shao had left his desk at this time and walked back and forth in the big tent. From Xu You's narration, he was basically sure that this matter should be 100%. As soon as he thought of this, a situation suddenly popped up in Yuan Shao's mind. When he was leading his army to fight against the Tang army, tens of thousands of elite soldiers suddenly rushed out from his side and dealt a fatal blow to his army from the side and rear. At that time, he would be dead or skinned.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but sweat on his back. After a long time, he secretly rejoiced in his heart that it was fortunate that Xu You proposed to discover this crisis.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao stopped, walked to Xu You, and said: "I will remember your great contribution in this matter. If it weren't for you to discover this matter, the consequences would be unimaginable in the future."
Hearing this, Xu You smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed: "This is the great blessing of the king. I just happened to meet him."
"Well, according to your opinion, how should I deal with it?" Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, and then asked;
"The king should make a prompt decision. Now the war in Yan State will definitely not have a result in the short term. The king can send the upper A general led tens of thousands of elite troops, and together with the troops of General Zhang Nan deployed in Changshan State, they pacified the Black Mountain bandits in a lightning speed and brought Changshan State under control.
Yuan Shao took two steps at a time and walked to the front of the map. He looked at it intently and remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Come here, send a message to Yan Liang, order him to lead 30,000 cavalry and infantry troops to sneak into Changshan secretly, and pacify the Black Mountain bandits with the help of Yu Du and Zuo Xi Zhangba."
This time, Yuan Shao rarely hesitated. After consideration, he immediately ordered the mobilization of the army to Zhending, intending to pacify the Black Mountain army in one fell swoop.
Two days later, Yan Liang, who received the order, immediately assembled 30,000 cavalry and infantry troops, sneaked out overnight, left Handan, and headed north. After a few days, he arrived in the south of Gaoyi. Then, with the support of Yu Du, the army raided Gaoyi and captured and killed Luo Shi, a Black Mountain bandit who was in Gaoyi City with Yu Du. He captured all the bandit troops of Luo Shi, and then the army headed north again.
After the support of Zuo Xi Zhang Ba, Yan Liang successively captured Pingji and Luancheng. Ku Shi, one of the leaders of the Black Mountain, was killed. After Yan Liang reorganized the captured Black Mountain troops, he continued to lead the troops north and went straight to the city of Zhending.
Afterwards, Yu Du and Zuo Xi Zhang Ba each led hundreds of their own guards, pretending to be remnants of the army, and fled into the city of Zhending under the pursuit of the Wei army. Zhang Yan, who was unaware of it, had no idea that he had let the wolf into the house.
That night, with the support of more than a thousand soldiers from the Yu and Zuo armies, Yan Liang's army successfully entered Zhending City. Zhang Yan was caught off guard and led his troops to fight desperately, but he was still defeated by Yan Liang in the end. In desperation, Zhang Yan had to lead his troops to break through.
In the end, of the 30,000 troops in Zhending City, only 10,000 people followed Zhang Yan to retreat smoothly. Under the pursuit of the Wei army, Zhang Yan finally returned to Tumen Pass, dozens of miles west of Zhending, with only more than 8,000 remnants. Fortunately, since occupying Heishan, Zhang Yan has never given up strengthening the defense of Tumen Pass and has continuously repaired this nearly destroyed ancient pass. After surrendering to the Tang Kingdom, he increased the intensity of the repair and built it into a solid medium-sized pass.
Not only that, after the reorganization of the army under Zhang Yan, it became a standard Tang army camp with four infantry and one cavalry, a total of five schools of soldiers and horses. One of the schools of infantry was arranged by him at Tumen Pass, and another school was arranged in Jingxing City, the old nest of the Black Mountain Army. The remaining two infantry and one cavalry, 15,000 infantry and cavalry, were brought by Zhang Yan and arranged in Zhending City, together with the 15,000 county and state soldiers in the city, to resist the attack of Wei.
What he didn't expect was that a sudden attack made him return in defeat. Not only did he lose the city and the land, but only 8,000 of the 30,000 troops escaped from Zhending City and returned to Tumen Pass. There were 3,000 cavalry, 3,000 yellow turban warriors and more than 1,000 ordinary soldiers. As for the 15,000 county and state soldiers, there were only a few hundred who escaped.
Zhang Yan, who returned to Tumen Pass, ordered the deployment of the defense within the pass and summoned the generals to discuss matters. Seeing the dejected looks of his subordinates, Zhang Yan opened his mouth several times, but in the end no curse came out.
"Alas!" After letting out a long sigh, Zhang Yan said, "This is a great defeat for all of you. I will take care of myself."

The king apologizes, but the most important thing now is to convey the news to the king. The second is to guard Tumen Pass. If Wei is allowed to occupy Jingxing, the nearest channel will be opened between Wei and Zhao, then we Even a hundred deaths cannot atone for his sins. "
Sitting under Zhang Yan, in addition to his son Zhang Fang, there are also the cavalry general Zhang Baiqi, the Tumen Pass guard general Huang Long, and the school captains Pinghan and Feiyan. Among the other generals, Lieutenant General Qingniujiao guarded Jingxing County, Lieutenant Colonel Bai Bo guarded Leping, Lieutenant Colonel Daji guarded Shiyi, and Lieutenant Colonel Fuyun guarded the Yuan clan.
After hearing Zhang Yan's words, everyone let out a long sigh, but they also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
"Now the two brothers Daji and Fuyun still don't know whether they are alive or dead, but we can't care about it now. Huanglong, the task of guarding the pass tonight and tomorrow day will be handed over to your five thousand brothers in the pass. The other soldiers will rest for a while. Let’s make arrangements tomorrow. Zhang Baiqi will pay attention to collecting the broken soldiers everywhere. After these soldiers come back, they will be placed separately and screened in detail. "
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
