Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 395
According to historical records, after the Battle of Guandu, Zhang Yan cooperated with the 20 Black Mountain Army and merged into the Wei Army.

Zhang Yan made great contributions to his service, and was appointed by Cao Cao as General Pingbei and granted the title of Marquis of An Guoting.

You must know that Guan Yu, who was so powerful in the world, was only named Hanshoutinghou at that time, so Cao Cao's appreciation of Zhang Yan was not only because of his personal ability, but also because of the millions of people in Montenegro.

The melee between the warlords in the late Han Dynasty caused the population to drop sharply, and a population of 100 million is definitely a productive collective that cannot be ignored.

Therefore, Liu Yu was also attracted by the people of Montenegro. A million people is not a small number. If they can be persuaded and introduced into his territory to settle and educate, it will definitely bring infinite benefits to the surrounding areas of Luoyang.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu had plans to surrender Zhang Yan and recruit the Black Mountain bandits.

…………

"Now that Yuan Shao is in Jizhou, Cao Cao is in Bingzhou, and the Black Mountain Bandit will be wiped out sooner or later, and Zhang Yan seems to have a natural affinity for Cao Cao. It would be a pity if he led his men to vote for Cao Cao."

"Absolutely not! This person must be captured alive, and then slowly trained to surrender!"

With a decision in his heart, Liu Yu was about to order Zhang Yan to be captured alive, but when he was about to speak, he heard a cry of killing not far away.

"Don't hurt my brother, Zhang Shunlai too!"

It turned out that Zhang Shun was only thinking about running for his life, but when he found Zhang Yan was besieged behind, he immediately gathered hundreds of people to come to the rescue.

"I didn't expect that there were loyal people among these thieves. They were all captured. Don't hurt their lives!"

Tian Yude ordered a hundred shadow guards to quickly subdue Zhang Shun and others.

Liu Yu was also thinking of surrendering to Zhang Yan, and felt that the one who came to rescue him at this time was definitely Zhang Yan's confidant, and killing him would only make Zhang Yan angry, but capturing them all alive would give him an extra bargaining chip to surrender Zhang Yan.

At this time, Liu Yu issued an order, and Zhang Yan realized that the person he was fighting with was not the supreme commander of the officers and soldiers, but the young man on the white horse should be the real commander.

So he took Zhang Xiu's shot at the risk of being injured, then turned over, jumped out of the encirclement, and killed Liu Yu.

Zhang Yan, nicknamed Feiyan, was extremely agile, and when he rushed in front of Liu Yu, he jumped again, and thrust out the spear in his hand quickly.

Originally, he thought that this shot would definitely hit in one hit, but Zhang Yan was completely dumbfounded the next moment.

Liu Yu easily grasped the spear that was stabbing at him, and then kept it level. As a result, Zhang Yan's body hanging in mid-air was actually hung on the other end.

It wasn't until Zhang Yan let go of the spear that he fell back to the ground.

"I exhausted all my strength for that shot, so...so easy to catch? He is ten times stronger than the opponent just now!"

Zhang Yan looked at Liu Yu in disbelief. At this moment, he felt like a mountain in front of him and he was an ant. There was no chance of winning at all.

"I surrender, may I ask... Your honorable name?"

Liu Yu threw the spear casually, shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I live in Luoyang Lane, and I am in the royal family. Now I am in Taihang, and I only worry about Montenegro."

Liu Yu pulled out a few prophecies pretending to be profound, but directly confused Zhang Yan.

There is not much ink in the belly of the reckless black bandits, and they are particularly disgusted with the sour temper of literati.

Oops, I made a mistake, Zhang Yan is a rough man, you can't rely on literary talents to conquer a rough man, you should be straightforward and violent!

Thinking of this, Liu Yu quickly changed his strategy. He took off the Black Iron Overlord Spear from his horse and waved it a few times.

"Do you know this weapon?"

Zhang Yanxin said that I just wanted to ask about your name, why do you ask me to guess the weapon after a while?

"This is a spear... a spear made of black iron?"

"If the black iron gun is paired with me sitting on the white horse, can you guess who I am?"

Zhang Yan was taken aback when he heard the words, the story of General White Horse has indeed been circulating in Jizhou area recently.

"A white horse with a black gun! Could it be that Your Excellency is... General Gongsun?"

"We are allies. I received a letter from General Yan Gang, so I led troops to attack Changshan to support General Gongsun in the Panhe battle..."

Zhang Yan hurriedly said that he had misunderstood, but he also murmured in his heart. Didn't Gongsun Zan lose the battle at Panhe and then lead his troops back to Bohai County? How could he appear in Zhending County?

"General Gongsun, why did you come here, and why did you plan to kill allied troops? You are not authentic in doing this!"

Liu Yu heard that he not only misunderstood himself as Gongsun Zan, but also kept chattering, making him dizzy for a while, and he just wanted to punch him to shut up.

"Why is Zhang Yan such a broken mouth, he can't stop talking about things!"

Liu Yu also saw that the system gave Zhang Yan a friendliness of 80+, so he confidently thought that he was Zhang Yan's idol.

But there are no fans like Zhang Yan, Liu Yu even put the two most representative items in the clear, but he misunderstood his idol as Gongsun Zan.

"Okay, okay, let's take it back to the city first!"

Liu Yu didn't want to explain anymore, he failed to pretend twice in a row, which made him lose face, but we can't blame Zhang Yan for being a reckless person, it can only show that Liu Yu's appearance in Jizhou is really unexpected.

The battle was won, killing more than [-] rebel soldiers and taking five thousand prisoners, but the Zhending side also paid a high price, killing two thousand and injuring more than a thousand.

Liu Yu ordered that the captives be selected to add to the team. Those who are willing to voluntarily surrender can be treated the same as the regular army.

When the black bandits heard that they could not only avoid death, but also become a regular army with no worries about food and clothing, almost all of the 5000 people chose to surrender.

After returning to the city, Liu Yu interrogated Zhang Yan himself.

It's about the recruitment of one million people in Montenegro, so Liu Yu didn't talk nonsense with Zhang Yan when he came up.

"Do you recognize this thing?"

Liu Yu took out a waist card engraved with a dragon shape.

Zhang Yan picked it up and looked at it for a few times, and vaguely remembered what his subordinates were talking about yesterday.

The king of Zhongshan, Liu Yu, was conferred the title of regent by the imperial court, and the dragon-shaped belt was one of the keepsakes. I never heard that the imperial court also awarded Gongsun Zan a dragon-shaped belt!Does he want to rebel?

"This...how can General Gongsun have royal property? If the court finds out about this, it will be a serious crime of treason!"

Zhang Yan still mistook Gongsun Zan standing in front of him, and because of his ally relationship, he felt the need to remind him.

"Now Yuan Shao is preaching about General Gongsun everywhere. If he finds out about this royal property, our two armies are likely to be besieged by other princes. Cao Cao in Bingzhou is only a mountain away from here. Once he brings Soldiers are calling..."

"Okay, just shut up!"

Liu Yu really couldn't stand his chatter, and didn't he know that Gongsun Zan was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he was a handsome guy in Yushu Linfeng.

"When will I admit that I am Gongsun Zan? Listen, my surname is Liu, my name is Yu, and my style name is Muzhi. I live in an alley in the south of Luoyang City."

Liu Yu said his name and family address in one breath, and Zhang Yan felt dizzy after hearing this.
