Xiaoqi

Before that, Zhang Yan always thought that the Feiyan Qingqi under his tent should not be inferior to any cavalry under Li Li's command.Even worse than that.In addition, the Montenegrin army has as many as 14 horses.With nearly 30 family members and refugees, such strength is no less than that of the princes who occupy a state, and even the strength of the Black Mountain Army is stronger.

Because of this, in all fairness, Zhang Yan thinks very highly of himself and has great ambitions. He looks down on most of the princes in the world, and there are only a handful of people who can fall into his eyes.

Once upon a time, Zhang Yan wanted to capture Jizhou or Yanzhou, and after gaining a firm foothold, he would become a vassal of his own, without having to look down on other people's breath and look at other people's faces to live his life.Therefore, for many years, he led the army to invade Jizhou repeatedly, and sent his leaders to conspire with Zhang Miao, Yuan Shu, Zhang Yang and other princes to attack Yanzhou.However, God failed to fulfill his wishes. Over the years, he has led the Black Mountain Army and has never been able to get out of the Black Mountain. He has been unable to find a stable foothold, or a place of foundation, among the states and counties of the Han Dynasty.

Today, the situation in the world has gradually become clearer, and all the states and counties are also owned by their masters, and there is no one easy to get along with among the princes from all walks of life.In view of this, Zhang Yan completely abandoned the unrealistic dream of princes, and retreated to the next best thing, trying to find the most powerful overlord in the world to attach to the past, and then seek fame and fortune under the premise of properly arranging the family members of Montenegro. Seal his wife and son, and enjoy the glory and wealth.There are not many princes in the world who meet the conditions of his demands, except Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and Li Li who dominates the two states of Xiliang, only these four, and nothing else.Among these lords and overlords, Xiliang Li Li is the most powerful and holds the power in the world. It is easy for him to worship a general and seal him a sentence.

Therefore, Zhang Yan is more inclined to work for Li Li, because Li Li can give him everything he wants.However, due to his nature, or the habit he developed under the siege of the government and army for many years, Zhang Yan was extremely cautious and would not make decisions lightly. He would only make up his mind when everything was safe.It's just that he never expected that when he really joined Li Li, he would receive such a cold reception.How can this make him not feel angry, useless and stuffy, and how can he accept it?

However, in addition to being angry, Zhang Yan couldn't help being discouraged for a while. He dared not speak out, and suddenly felt that he had to bow his head under the eaves.Because he really saw the bravery of the Xiliang iron cavalry, and he also realized how powerful Li Li is.The most helpless thing is that Li Li is indeed qualified to be strong, because the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command is indeed the most powerful elite cavalry in the world.

At the beginning of this war, the Xiliang iron cavalry had already swept tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in front of the Allied forces with a devastating force, and now they have defeated 24 Yuan Shaozhong's army, retreating steadily, only able to parry but unable to fight back.At the same time, Feiyan Qingqi, the most elite of the Black Mountain Army, was so unbearable in front of Li Li's Jinyiwei cavalry. Nearly a thousand soldiers were killed in less than a cup of tea, while Jinyiwei's casualties were only a few hundred people.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan couldn't help shaking her head helplessly, and sighed softly to herself.

Immediately, he forced himself to calm down, let go of his posture, and told Li Li the truth calmly, so as not to cause Li Li's displeasure and burn him.

"Don't be angry, General. Zhang was born in a reckless way. Please be gracious and considerate if his words are inappropriate. However, Zhang heard that the General seemed to have something in his words. There may be some misunderstanding between you and me. Before this, the General did not know Zhang has led the people to surrender to the general, did Suigu not submit Zhang's letter of surrender to the general?"

"Well, General Zhang Yan's guess was right, which really impressed me." Seeing that Zhang Yan had some self-knowledge after all and had begun to give in, Li Li's expression eased a lot, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up to reveal a faint smile.

After a pause, he noticed that Zhang Yan's face changed greatly after hearing the sound, and his expression was quite anxious. Li Li raised his hand to signal him not to be impatient, and then said calmly: "Don't worry, General Zhang Yan, this matter is indeed a misunderstanding, but This general is more or less responsible. Three days ago, Suigu Xingye brought back the letter of surrender from the general. He did not realize that Li had already gone to bed, so the guards on duty put the letter of surrender on Li’s handsome case. The silk was blown off by the cold wind, so he pressed the letter under the bamboo slips. As a result, Li did not see the general's letter of surrender the next day, and then the war was approaching and the military affairs were busy, so Li had no time to attend to others, and mistakenly thought that the general was still there. He was hesitant and still waiting to see, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

Unexpectedly, when the general led the army to charge the battle just now, he learned from Sui Gu that the Black Mountain Army had joined us, and this time he will use it as an internal cause to cooperate with our Xiliang army to defeat the allied army in one fell swoop.However, the news came too late, the army had already attacked in full force, and it was too late to give the order.Therefore, Li decided to come here to check the reality and see if General Zhang Yan sincerely served me.Unexpectedly, the result was beyond my expectation! "

Speaking of this, Li Li shook his head slightly in disappointment, and sighed softly: "Since General Zhang Yan is determined to serve under the command of this general, has he even forgotten the minimum courtesy of a minister? Besides, in front of this general you How dare you speak disrespectfully, accuse me angrily, do you think this general is cowardly and can't be bullied?"

When the voice paused for a while, seeing Zhang Yan wanted to speak up, Li Li didn't give him a chance to speak, and said in a low voice with a bad expression: "I think Li Li joined the army at the age of 15, and it has been more than five years since then. Conquering the north, conquering the east and conquering the west, he has gone through hundreds of battles, big and small, without losing a single defeat. He gallops on the battlefield, fights in all directions, and is invincible. For many years, who dared to speak loudly in front of me, and who dared to ask me? You Zhang Yan is the first and the last one, what crime do you think you should have?"

"Ah!" Zhang Yan was shocked when he heard the words, and then flew off the horse with a stride, bowed and knelt in front of the golden beast king, trembling with cold sweat on his forehead: "The last general pays homage to the lord! Just now,,, before, uh, the last general Although he did not intend to offend the lord, he was disrespectful to the lord in the end and was willing to accept the crime and be punished. Knowing that death is inevitable, he is willing to apologize with death, and only asks the lord to treat the people of Montenegro well, please punish the lord!"

"Well," Li Li pondered, staring deeply at Zhang Yan, who bowed his head and bowed his head, nodded slightly and said: "Forget it, I think you have just joined our army, and you have lived deep in the mountains for many years, and you are the first offender. Now the enemy is right now. When you are employing people, you will not be held accountable for the time being. Just get up."

"Uh, this..." Zhang Yan looked astonished, and hurriedly kowtowed respectfully: "The general will thank the master for not killing him. From today on, the general will swear to follow the master to the death, and let the horse be ordered!"

Raising his hand to signal Zhang Yan to get up, a peaceful smile appeared on Li Li's face: "I, Li Li, am not a narrow-minded person. A few words are harmless, so how can I punish you for it. It's just that you have said so many times before. The indefinite delay really makes it hard for me to believe that you, Zhang Yan, will lead your troops to serve me, so it is necessary to verify it.

Facts have proved that the reason why you are hesitant is not that you have different ideas, but that you have always acted cautiously, and your nature dictates it.The good thing is that the old feud between you and me has been settled, from now on you will be my general in trouble. As for the title and mansion, you will be rewarded after the war.so good?Hehehe! "

"Thank you, my lord, for the gift, I will be terrified at the end"

Chapter 758 Killer

Thanks: Junzibai book friend monthly ticket, evaluation ticket support, thank book friend Xiao Liu for rewarding and encouraging, thank you!

"Thank you, my lord, for the gift, I will be terrified at the end."

Zhang Yan's words expressed her true feelings.

One moment he was full of desolation and his life was hanging by a thread, but the next moment he was floating like a cloud and riding a fog. Under the stimulation of such great sorrow and joy, he was really sincere and fearful, with all kinds of feelings in his heart.

"You don't need to be too polite, get up and get on your horse quickly, the battle is in full swing right now, don't allow me to waste too much time."

Li Li nodded slightly, raised his hand to signal Zhang Yan to get on his horse, and then said in an unquestionable tone: "Because something went wrong before, our soldiers still don't know that the Black Mountain Army has joined me, and now it's time for a big battle. It is not easy to issue orders for the time being. Therefore, all the infantry and cavalry of the Black Mountain Army are gathered under the commander-in-chief's flag, and they are temporarily included in the Chinese army to fight with me until the end of the war. Anyone who dares to be afraid to move forward, or retreat halfway without an order step, immediately kill and never forgive!"

"Uh,,, promise, the last general obeys the order, and immediately the whole army will go to battle with the lord!" Zhang Yan was surprised when he heard the sound, and after a little hesitation, he respectfully took the order and left.

Watching Zhang Yan ride his horse away, Li Li smiled indifferently, and turned to look at Yuan Shao's army in the fierce battle, but saw that his cavalry had already broken through the front line and were attacking Yuan Shao's commander-in-chief flag.

But at this time, it was already a bright moon in the sky, the evening wind was blowing, and the slightest chill came quietly.

"When Zhang Yan first entered the army, my lord conferred on him the position of General of Zhonglang, worshiped him as a general, and made him a marquis. It can be said that he reached the sky in one step. Forgive me for being stupid. I really can't see what is so special about this person. Is it worthy of the lord's special respect for him?" Li Zhi who reined in his horse and stopped behind Li Li suddenly asked in a low voice.

Li Li shook his head gently when he heard the sound, and said with a smile: "It seems that Zicheng is still hostile to Zhang Yan! If that's the case, Zicheng doesn't need to be like this. Zhang Yan came from a humble background and has been the leader of the Black Mountain Army for many years, so he is inevitably a bit arrogant. Reckless gangsters have the habit of speaking rudely. Let alone Zhang Yan, even Huan Fei, Gan Ning, He Yi, He Man and others were like this at the beginning. They all spoke dirty words and cursed at every turn. His unruly temperament It’s even worse than Zhang Yan. But now, if you look at them again, they are all honest, forthright, strong and good men. They are brave and good at fighting, and they don’t even frown with a big knife on their necks. They are all from our Xiliang Army Warriors on the battlefield."

After a pause, Li Li changed the subject.He said with a smile: "Zicheng must not underestimate this Zhang Yan. Don't look at his ugly appearance and perverse personality, but he is a calm and steady person with real skills. This person is quite knowledgeable and meticulous in his actions. Extremely extraordinary, there are indeed extraordinary things that ordinary people can't match.

It has been 11 years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion.More than [-]% of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans have been wiped out by various princes one after another, or they have been recruited and surrendered.Only the Montenegrin Army has stood up to this day and has not fallen.On the contrary, the power is getting bigger and bigger, gathering hundreds of thousands of people, known as millions to the outside world, and the sphere of influence spreads all over the four prefectures of Ji, You, and Sili. In vain, the Black Mountain Army is still helpless.This ability alone shows that Zhang Yan is extraordinary, courageous and resourceful, and should not be underestimated.

In addition, Zicheng may not know that Zhang Yan and Zilong are from the same hometown. They grew up together since they were young, and they are actually the best friends of each other.It is said that Zhang Yan, formerly known as Chu Yan, practiced martial arts since she was a child. She is as light as a swallow, and her skills are extremely good.And he was able to stand out among the many leaders of the Yellow Turban Bandits, dominate the grass bandits in various villages in Montenegro, and was elected as the chief, which shows that he is quite capable and can be called a general.For such courageous and resourceful people, I, Li Li, never have too many, the more the better, the more the better!

What's more, he has tens of thousands of war cavalry under his command, and there are hundreds of thousands of old and young women and children in the cottage; in this world of great struggle, this is a huge fortune with huge potential and unlimited future.Therefore, based on these, it is not an exaggeration to worship him as a general and a marquis.Otherwise, how can I appease the Montenegrin tribe, and how can I make them work for me?Hehehe"

"Oh?" Li Zhi responded in astonishment, and thoughtfully said: "So that's the case, the last general was mistaken, the lord is wise. However, the last general heard what the lord and Feng Xiao's military adviser said before, it seems"

Before Li Zhi could finish speaking, Li Li raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to continue. He nodded slightly and said, "There are many secrets hidden in the allied forces that we don't know. Zhang Yan was able to inquire about these things originally, but because of him Hesitant to look forward and backward and miss the opportunity. Anyone who does something wrong will have to pay for it, and Zhang Yan is no exception. Therefore, this time is an excellent opportunity for the Black Mountain Army to prove its strength. If you want to get what you never got If the war goes well, then that’s all. If it doesn’t go well, then the loss will fall on the Montenegrin Army. This is the consequence they have to bear for their previous mistakes. "

After finishing speaking, Li Li waved his hand to signal Li Zhi not to say more, because Zhang Yan had already finished his army and came on horseback.

"My lord, everything is ready for the Black Mountain Army, and it is at the mercy of my lord!"

"Well, good, the Black Mountain Army is really well-trained." After raising his hand to signal Zhang Yan not to be restrained, Li Li nodded and smiled.

After he finished speaking, Li Li waved his hand to signal Li Zhi and Zhang Yan to lead his troops to follow, and immediately drove the Golden Beast King through the middle of the Black Mountain cavalry, and went straight to the rear of the left flank.

As the King of the Beast King Jin walked forward unhurriedly, Li Li turned his head to look at Zhang Yan, and asked as he walked, "I wonder how many troops the Black Mountain Army has, and where is the infantry?"

Zhang Yan replied after hearing the sound: "My lord, Rongzhi, the last general has [-] cavalry under his command, and the other [-] light cavalry are from Hanoi Zhangyang and Jiangdong Sun Ce's cavalry. Last night, the last general was worried that the [-] cavalry would mutiny before the battle." , refused to listen to the orders, so they secretly removed the leading generals, and temporarily replaced the generals under the account of the last general this morning. Fortunately, time was running out, and these cavalry did not take the opportunity to make trouble, so they had to obey the orders of the last general, so my lord Don't worry about them getting cold feet.

In addition to the war cavalry, there are nearly 12 infantry under the account of the last general, who are in the rear of the Chinese army not far ahead.Together with the two infantry phalanxes under Yuan Shao's command, they form the rear of the Chinese army, with a total of [-] infantry in the entire rear. "

"Okay, that's very good." Li Li nodded with a smile.Immediately, Zhang Yan ordered: "In this case, this general orders you to take your own soldiers to the infantry square immediately, and then lead [-] infantry straight to Yuan Shao's position to outflank it. You trapped Yuan Shao before, so don't let him escape. In addition, if you can pass through the Jizhou army quietly, don't rush to fight. It is not too late to start after Yuan Shao is besieged; if you are discovered by the Jizhou army , you don’t have to worry about it, you can fight freely. And I will temporarily combine the Black Mountain cavalry and several thousand gold guards into one army. I will personally lead the cavalry to charge from the left rear formation, and then intercept and kill Yuan Shao. As the saying goes: capture The thief should capture the king first; as long as Yuan Shao is beheaded or captured alive, the victory of this battle is assured!"

"This..." Zhang Yan's expression changed upon hearing this, and she looked at Li Li in surprise.He hesitated for a while with his mouth open.But he was speechless.

Seeing the change in Zhang Yan's expression, Li Li was stunned and said in surprise, "What are you? If you have any doubts, you can speak up without hesitation."

"No, no, it's nothing, the general obeys orders!" Seeing that the expression on Li Li's face was not fake, his eyes were clear and his expression was calm, Zhang Yan suddenly felt that he was too suspicious.Immediately responded hastily, and then waved his hand.He led hundreds of soldiers on horseback and rushed straight to the Black Mountain Army camp in the rear of the Chinese Army.

"He seems to have noticed something, just now he seemed to be disobedient?" Zhang Yan just left, Li Zhi rode his horse close to Li Li, and said in a low voice.

Li Li nodded slightly, and said softly: "After all, he is the leader of the Black Mountain Army who has commanded more than [-] troops. The reason for this is that I understand my real intention of asking him to lead the troops to surround Yuan Shao, but he dare not disobey the order, and he still has to lead the troops. Now, he has no way out, except for serving me wholeheartedly. No choice."

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard the words: "Why? Since Zhang Yan was able to defect to the lord, there is no guarantee that he will not surrender and rebel again, and fall to the allied forces of the princes again. If so, wouldn't we lose a lot of help in vain?"

"It's late." Li Li shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Since the moment Zhang Yan ordered the Black Mountain cavalry not to fight with our army, he has no way out and can only follow me wholeheartedly, one by one. Hei. You must know that it is a taboo to fight on the battlefield, once the matter is revealed, it will inevitably cause the princes from all walks of life to be filled with righteous indignation, and then attack them in groups, and they must be wiped out before they are killed.

After Li Zhi heard the words, his expression was at a loss, and he was puzzled and said: "How did Yuan Shao and the princes of all walks of life know about this? Even the last general followed the lord all the time, and he didn't hear the lord mention this until the time of the war. I don't know."

Li Li smiled calmly, pointed to the crowded battlefield, and said with a smile, "What kind of place is this? The main battlefield where tens of thousands of people fight head-on, no matter what happens, there is no escape from the tens of thousands The eyes and ears of scheming. Under the watchful eyes of so many people, nothing can be hidden, and it must fall into the eyes of those who have a heart."

"What's more, from the day when the alliance of princes was established, all the princes from Yuan Shao and below have been staring at me, Li Li, so that my every move can't escape their eyes. In this decisive battle, I personally led the army to fight, Yuan Shao must have been staring at me all the time, no matter where I am, he will know immediately. Therefore, the scene where Zhang Yan got off the horse and worshiped me as the master, will naturally be broadcast in the first place. In Yuan Shao's ears. At this moment, I dare to assert that Yuan Shao must have known about Zhang Yan's defection, and became furious with embarrassment, wishing to catch Zhang Yan immediately and eat his flesh."

"Ah!" Li Zhi was shocked when he heard the sound, and said anxiously: "In this case, why did my lord order Zhang Yan to lead the infantry to attack Yuan Shao's headquarters? Isn't this a self-inflicted trap?"

Li Li said in a low voice with a solemn expression: "Nothing. I have always suspected that Yuan Shao still has some unknown methods that have not been used, that is to say, he has left behind, and the real killer is always hidden. This time I am Let Zhang Yan lead the army to directly attack him, drive him to a dead end, and see how long he can hide his trump card!"
