Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 333 Find a way out
Outside the coincidence city, war horses galloped, banners rolled upside down, yellow sand flew all over the sky, Qingzhou soldiers threw away their helmets and armor, and were defeated.

Only then did Xu Huang realize that Guan Yu was not calm. He had already suppressed his anger in his heart, but he tried his best to suppress and control himself. After receiving Liu He's general order, he broke out completely.

Just now when the red rabbit horse galloped to the front of the enemy's formation, Guan Yu beheaded Gongsun Fan by himself, which shows that the anger in his heart has reached its limit.

"Hey, this Yun Chang keeps his eyes closed all day, is he afraid that people will see what he is thinking?"

Xu Huang smashed his fist on the green bricks, feeling more and more profound that Guan Yu's palace was deep.

Gongsun Fan led five thousand troops to Chongguang for provocation, and was beheaded by Guan Yu in an instant. Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun surrounded him from left to right, and the enemy army was in chaos and fled in all directions.

These three men were like three fierce tigers, rushing back and forth in the opponent's camp. There was no enemy in front of them. In a blink of an eye, they killed the Qingzhou army to the point where they all knelt down and asked to surrender.

"General Xu, hurry out of the city and take Leling with one sentence."

Just as Xu Huang watched Guan, Zhang, and Zhao gallop happily, Chen Gong, who heard the movement, finally rushed to the top of the city.

"What the military adviser said is absolutely true!" Xu Huang came back to his senses, and hurriedly went down to the tower to order troops to fight.

By the time he left the city, Guan Yu had ordered Han Meng and Qin Liang to take the prisoners and transport the camp's baggage back to the city. The three brothers led troops to attack Leling.

Xu Huang immediately led his troops to follow up, and when the troops arrived at the foot of Leling City, the defenders in the city were in an uproar. He never expected that Gongsun Fan would cause such a big trouble after going out for more than ten days.

Seeing that the four people surrounded the city and Gongsun Fan's head was lifted on a high pole, the defenders knew that they were not their opponents, so they had no choice but to open the city and surrender.

After Xu Huang entered the city, he complained to Guan Yu and said, "Yun Chang, you are so unkind. You persuade others to calm down. Once the general order arrives, you will kill yourself first."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and sighed: "Although a certain is calm, the Qinglong Saber is already hungry and thirsty!"

"You..." Xu Huang became angry and said dissatisfiedly, "Yun Chang, you have changed."

Guan Yu caressed his long beard, squinted his eyes slightly and smiled, and led the soldiers back to the government office first.

Xia Houlan went to Montenegro to meet Zhang Yan. The two reunited after a long separation and were inevitably excited. Zhang Yan introduced him to the leaders in the mountain and gave him a banquet.

At the banquet, Xia Houlan explained his intentions and handed over a letter. Zhang Yan showed joy and agreed to meet Liu He, but the other leaders, Huang Long and Bai Que, left the banquet early with displeased faces.

That night Zhang Yan left Xiahoulan in the cottage, and the two spent the night talking over wine, talking about their respective situations, feeling quite embarrassed, and after Xiahoulan's persuasion, Zhang Yan was already moved.

In the rear camp, Huang Long and others were indignant and said angrily: "Zhang Yan did not avenge the big leader, but actually wanted to surrender to Liu He. How can it be unreasonable?"

The white sparrow kicked over an earthen jar, gritted its teeth and said, "We eat and drink freely in the mountains, why should we be controlled by the government? Haven't we been oppressed by the government enough before?"

All the leaders immediately agreed, clamoring to kill Xia Houlan and never surrender to the court.

Huang Long said: "If Xia Houlan is killed, Liu He will send troops immediately. If Zhang Yan doesn't fight us wholeheartedly, who can be his opponent?"

Everyone fell silent immediately. Although the Black Mountain Army had a large number of people, they still had self-knowledge. Ever since Zhang Niujiao failed to attack Jizhou, the whole army was afraid of Liu He's men like tigers.

In addition, in the past two years, the three leaders Yang Feng, Yu Du, and Bai Rao were all wiped out by Liu He, and only Zhang Yan remained in Montenegro. Who would dare to fight Liu He?

Bai Que frowned and said: "Liu He didn't come to attack Heishan, not because he was afraid of us, but because he didn't want to waste his troops. Guo Daxian and Zhang Baiqi robbed Tang County, but they never came back. We have to think of a surefire strategy."

Huang Long said in a deep voice: "Fei Yan is a righteous man, and is the leader personally appointed by the boss. Back then he changed his name to Zhang Yan and said he wanted to avenge the boss. Now it is good. Before revenge, he is ready to surrender. It is unreasonable."

One person said: "Since Zhang Yan has forgotten his original promise, he is no longer our leader. Why don't we kill him together, and we will go it alone and find another way out."

"Do it alone?" Huang Long said with a sneer, "We are no match for others together. Are we courting death if we go it alone?"

"By the way, I think of someone!" While everyone was discussing, Bai Que suddenly slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "Brothers, do you still remember Zhang Jiao's daughter?"

"You mean that chick Zhang Ning?" Huang Long frowned slightly, and said, "This girl has some skills, but it's a pity that she was scared away by Zhang Yan."

Bai Que said: "Zhang Ning wanted to avenge Zhang Jiao and kill Liu He. Now I understand that Zhang Yan deliberately scared her away because she didn't want to be Liu He's enemy and had already surrendered."

Huang Long nodded and said: "That's right, if we can find Zhang Ning, she still has a few Yellow Turban Army Commanders Qu under her command, with high martial arts skills, there must be no need for Zhang Yan."

Bai Que said with a dark smile: "Zhang Ning wants to kill Liu He for revenge, which is the same goal as ours, and she was also forced by Zhang Yan, so she must hold a grudge. As long as we can find her, we will be able to fight against Liu He."

"Okay, that's it!" Huang Long stood up abruptly, and said in a deep voice, "Immediately send my brothers down the mountain to inquire about Zhang Ning. As long as Liu He and Zhang Yan can be killed, we will regard her as the head of the village." Not impossible."

Bai Que smiled strangely: "It's not bad for Zhang Ning to be the wife of the village owner. Whoever can be the village owner will have to rely on their own abilities, hahaha——"

The leaders burst out laughing, thinking of Zhang Ning's graceful demeanor, their eyes lit up, and they quickly dispatched people to inquire about the news.

After some discussions, Zhang Yan agreed to meet with him at Changshan Pass three days later. This was also a decision made after weighing the pros and cons repeatedly and under Xia Houlan's persuasion.

Because Liu He took over Bingzhou and Jizhou, the government was clear and the military force was strong, the living space of the Black Mountain Army was further compressed. In the past, they could rob corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen in the past.

In addition, in the past two years, Liu He has been sending people to spread rumors and publish announcements, as long as those who are willing to go down the mountain and surrender to the government, they will forget the past and give them land for resettlement.

Moreover, everyone saw the government's actions, and the common people were all happy. Not to mention Liu He's strong military force, even Liu Yukuan's reputation of benevolence and love for the people could attract many people to go.

All kinds of measures have already made the soldiers of Montenegro lose their minds, especially after the killing of Emperor Ling and Shi Changshi, they no longer hated the government as much as before. As long as they can have a place to live, eat enough and wear warm clothes, who would like to sleep in the mountains? Do you want to be a bandit on tenterhooks?
Not only was he precarious, but he also became infamous and ridiculed by his fathers and villagers. Those with family members could not hold their heads up in their hometown, and those without family members wanted to keep a family of incense and settle down earlier to marry a wife and have children.

The decree issued by Liu He made everyone's heart flutter. In addition, the food looted in the past few years was not enough to make ends meet, and he was raising 10,000+ subordinates who ate and drank for free. Anyone who saw it would have a headache.

Zhang Yan had no intention of fighting against the government, and had long been willing to surrender, but because of the rhetoric back then, he couldn't save face. At this time, Liu He took the initiative to send people to persuade him to surrender, and he took advantage of the situation to take advantage of the situation.
