Chapter 1351: Going Their Separate Ways

After hearing Zhang Yan's words, Zhao Yun's eyes lit up. As a result, the army he commanded had 50,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry. Plus the auxiliary craftsmen accompanying the army, there were nearly 100,000 troops. With such strength, once he really enters Taiyuan County, even if Lu Bu personally leads tens of thousands of troops, he will be able to handle it.

Another point is that Zhang Yan's move has more advantages than disadvantages, both for Tang Jun and himself. Before leaving, Military Advisor Guo had told him to find ways to capture the troops of the Montenegrin Army. However, the king did not comment on this, saying that Zhang Yan knew how to advance and retreat, so he would not have any other ideas.

Now it seems that the king really knows how to recognize people, and Zhang Yan did this beautifully, which made Zhao Yun admire him. However, admiration is admiration, but Zhao Yun will not make a decision easily on this matter. After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yun said: "I already know General Zhang's intention. However, this matter needs to be decided by the king himself. I will Report the matter to the king truthfully. Before the king’s decree arrives, you still need to act in accordance with the previous decree.”

"How about this. Huangfu Li and the generals will lead the troops to go out with me in accordance with their orders. It happens that the food and grass are not ready for half a month. The other generals can be on standby in Leping. If the king agrees with the general's suggestion, As soon as the king's order comes, General Zhang can order the remaining generals to go to my command with the remaining food and baggage. "What is General Zhang's order?"

Zhang Yan was overjoyed when he heard this. Originally, this was his impromptu idea. If Zhao Yun didn't agree, Zhang Yan would have no choice but to do so. He probably wouldn't have such a good opportunity in the future. Now that Zhao Yun has agreed, he also has a few days to buffer: "General What he said is what I want. The armies of the five schools have been reorganized and are just waiting for the general to send people to receive them. As for the rest of the troops, they will wait for the king's order. "

As he said that, he turned to look at Zhang Baiqi next to him: "As for Zhang Baiqi, he often traveled to and from Taiyuan in his early years. He happens to be familiar with the situation from Leping to Taiyuan, so he can accompany the general on the expedition."

Zhang Baiqi next to him was stunned when he heard this. He was about to speak, but Zhang Yan glared back.

Zhao Yun nodded and replied: "Well, in that case, I will return to the camp outside the city first. General Zhang, please be prepared. The army will leave camp tomorrow. As for Colonel Zhang Fang, I will allow you to rest for half a day. You must return this evening." camp."

After saying that, Zhao Yun stood up and wanted to leave. Zhang Yan quickly stood up and asked the group to stay for dinner in the city, but Zhao Yun refused because the army was outside.

After Zhao Yun and his party left, Zhang Baiqi and others couldn't wait to surround Zhang Yan;

"Master," Zhang Baiqi said: "Why did you send us all to Zhao Yun's command, and also handed over most of the troops of the Montenegro Army? If this continues, will the Montenegro Army still be the Montenegro Army?"

"Yes, Master, if this continues, we will be swallowed up by them soon." Feiyan and the others next to him also nodded in agreement;

Zhang Yan shook his head: "Now that we have surrendered to the King of Tang, do you still think that we are still the same as before? Now that we and the Wei State are in a fight to the death, and the Zhao State is about to be pacified by the King of Tang, if we are still alive at this time, If we don’t show our loyalty to King Tang, we will probably have nothing to do with him later.”

After saying that, Zhang Yan looked at his son: "If you don't believe me, ask Fang'er about the current situation!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fang quickly saluted the generals present: "Uncles, do you know who are the four young generals accompanying my nephew when he comes back this time?"

Qing Niujiao said slowly: "That young man named Huangfu should be from the royal family, but the other people don't know. My nephew, tell us..."

"Yes, Lieutenant Huangfuli is from the Wangshang clan. It is said that he is the most outstanding young man among the royal clan at present, capable of both literature and martial arts. As for the other three, although Hao Zhao is from a commoner, he was trained by the king himself. It is said that both General Zhao and General Huang personally taught him martial arts, and in terms of discussion,

It was taught by several military advisors around the king. "

"There are two other people, the eldest son of General Zhou Cang and the eldest son of General Zhang He. They are both outstanding among the young generals of the Tang Dynasty. Like Dianman, the eldest son of General Dian Wei, and Zaoping, the eldest son of Mr. Zaozhi, they are the second generation of the Tang Dynasty. The most outstanding officers and generals..." Zhang Fang carefully told the Montenegrin Army generals one by one the news he had learned from Huangfuli and others in the past few days.

After Zhang Fang finished speaking, Zhang Yan slowly said: "Among the princes in the world, the only ones who can achieve success are Tang, Wei, Qi, and Wu. If it is the most suitable for us to seek refuge, it must be Tang. In addition, the king of Tang is generous. , Regardless of our actions of besieging Luoyang a few years ago, this alone is enough to convince Zhang Yan. "

"It's a little late for us to take refuge now. If you follow me, it is unlikely that you will have a chance to go further. If you can take this opportunity to follow the two generals Zhao and Dian and make some military exploits, then , it is not impossible for him to be a deputy general of a battalion or a captain of a county."

"Another point is that if I read it correctly, Huangfuli and this group of young generals should be the king's ministers preparing for the little prince. Since there is such a good opportunity to make good friends with them, why not make good use of it? Well. If we can really make friends with these people, we can at least keep our wealth for two or three generations."

When everyone heard the words, they were all silent.

After a long while, Zhang Baiqi sighed and said, "The boss has thought so deeply about us. Baiqi is very grateful. Tomorrow morning, we will rush to the camp outside the city to listen to General Zhao Yun's orders!"

Seeing Zhang Baiqi's statement, the others also expressed their gratitude to Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan waved his hand and said, "This is an idea that I suddenly thought of. I was not sure at first. Now General Pingbei is willing to submit a petition to the king. With his petition, the king should not refuse. So, if it is not wrong, the king's order will be delivered within ten days. At that time, we brothers will go our separate ways. Tonight, I will hold a banquet in the mansion to practice for you!"

As soon as Zhang Yan spoke, everyone fell silent. Except for Bai Rao and Wu Lu, the rest of them were subordinates who followed Zhang Niujiao at first. After Zhang Niujiao died, they followed Zhang Yan. It can be said that the feelings between them over the years have been extraordinary. So when Zhang Yan wanted to surrender to the Tang Kingdom, they supported his decision without hesitation. Now they are finally going their separate ways. How can people not be sad?

That night, in the general's mansion, the night banquet lasted almost the whole night. Almost everyone in the Black Mountain Army was drunk, except Zhang Baiqi, who didn't drink too much because he had to rush to Zhao Yun's army to listen to orders the next day.

After hearing this, Zhao Yun in the camp outside the city did not send anyone to urge Zhang Yan, but waited until noon. After Zhang Yan woke up, he hurried to the camp and handed over the soldiers and food to Zhao Yun.
