There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

After the First World War, the Black Mountain Army in Hebei no longer had the capital to challenge Yuan Shao, and could only linger in the Taihang Mountains. No matter how many people there were in the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans, they did not dare to cross the thunder pool easily.

But Zhang Yan himself is a hero after all, with a very high spirit.

Although he was beaten three times and four times by Yuan Shao, he has a heart that refuses to admit defeat.

Zhang Yan was nostalgic for the vast land of Hebei, no matter how much Yuan Shao cut him, he would not leave, and he would just die here.

Moreover, he still had a restless heart that was eager to try, and wanted to find an opportunity to bite Yuan Shao back fiercely, so that the old thief Yuan Shao would also know the pain and fear!

Now, after receiving Bai Rao's letter, Zhang Yan knew that this opportunity had come.

In fact, the Battle of Guandu was such a major event that shocked the world, how could Zhang Yan not know, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity to send troops to Yuan Shao.

Now that the pottery merchant took the initiative to send someone to send a letter, Zhang Yan knew that the opportunity had come.

"It's doable!"

After Bai Rao told Zhang Yan about the potter's invitation, Zhang Yan immediately made up his mind.

He clapped the table and said to Qu Shuai, a few of his cronies present: "In today's world, the two great princes who can confront Yuan Shao are nothing more than Cao Cao and the pottery merchant. Now the two are fighting Yuan Shao together. Yuan Shao's troops It’s hard to get out! This is a golden opportunity for revenge. I intend to send troops to Jizhou, first to level the counties and counties around the Taihang Mountains, as a foundation, and to slowly devour the territory of Hebei. Whatever you say, let Yuan Shao know how powerful we are, so as to repay the past hatred!"

When everyone heard the words, they were all rejoiced and encouraged.

After all, all the Black Mountain generals present have suffered from Yuan Jun's losses, and many of their relatives and friends died tragically at Yuan Shao's hands. Now that they heard that they wanted to deal with Yuan Shao, they wished they could go to Jizhou immediately and slaughter Yuan's family in order to avenge their past.

The person surnamed Yuan is the mortal enemy of the Black Mountain Army, and everyone draws circles every day to curse the Yuan family.

Zhang Yan was very pleased to see that everyone was enthusiastic about this matter and the crowd was excited.

He immediately made a strategy for dispatching troops, and asked the commanders of the various ministries to go back quickly to pack up the troops and act according to the order.

After everyone took orders one after another, Zhang Yan asked everyone to prepare for the battle, but there were still four people left who wanted to say something individually.

After the battle between the Black Mountain Army and Yuan Shao last year, the main commander Qu Shuai of the original old team of the Black Mountain Army was basically killed, hacked, and bloodbathed by Yuan Shao, and there were not many living things left.

Now Zhang Yan is the most trusted cronies, pick and choose, that is, there are only four people left.

Yang Feng, Yu Du, Bai Rao, Tao Sheng.

To Zhang Yan, these four people are like the existence of the Four King Kongs.

Why compare these four to King Kong?

Because King Kong generally doesn't have a brain, he can only yell and eat bananas!

Zhang Yan looked back and forth at the four King Kongs, and suddenly said: "The four are left today, I just want to discuss with you, our Black Mountain Army... what should we do in the future?"

This sentence made everyone a little confused.

Bai Rao looked at Zhang Yan suspiciously, and said: "Our Black Mountain Army has always been across the Taihang Mountains, across Changshan, Zhaojun, and Zhongshan counties. Where do we go? I don't know what the commander means. "

Zhang Yan sighed, shook his head, and said: "That was before, not now! When the world was in turmoil, the emperor ordered me to be the General of Ping Nan Zhonglang, and the Han court also ordered Brother Yang Feng to be the Captain of Black Mountain. In name, it is actually affiliated to the Han court, no different from one side of the princes! But now, all the princes who are small in the world are wiped out, and there are not many left, especially in the north, where there are only three families left... Now In the battle of these three families, it is inevitable that there will be one less family, or even two families in the future. At that time, there will be one person in charge of the northern border, and the power will be overwhelming. How can we accommodate us? Therefore, we in Montenegro should make plans now and make a decision as soon as possible. chosen."

What he meant, everyone naturally understood.

Yu Po said: "I will understand what Qu Shuai said, but there are some things that need not be so urgent. After all, Qu Shuai is a general who has been conferred by the imperial court. For some things, we have to look at the intention and direction of the imperial court."

Zhang Yan smiled helplessly when he heard the words: "The imperial court? The imperial court is gone long ago! Today, the son is dead, the two sons are separated, one is taken away by the pottery merchant, and the other is taken away to Jingzhou by Fuwan. Although the battle of Guandu is not over yet, there is no dispute for an heir. However, according to someone's estimation, it will be a matter of time...there may be two imperial courts in the world, which side should we belong to?"

These words really touched the hearts of everyone.

The world is turbulent, and the situation suddenly changes.

Yu Du scratched his head with a headache, and said: "These two princes are both of the blood of the Tian family, and they are both orthodox. Did your majesty issue an edict to the world when he passed away? One is the eldest son and the other is the first son. It's all possible... Sigh, it's really hard to decide whether to follow someone or not."

Zhang Yan sighed and said, "That's what I'm worried about."

Bai Rao suddenly said: "Commander, the general has some friendship with that pottery merchant. Since he supports the eldest son Liu Xi, if this person can win the battle of Guandu, we might as well follow him? And the general also heard that Huang Tianwu also seems to be under the rule of the potter, and we can find a good home with him in the future..."

Before Bai Rao finished speaking, he heard a sneer and said, "Ridiculous!"

Bai Rao's face turned red immediately: "Who? Who said that! Who dares to laugh at me!"

Everyone looked over, and it was Tao Sheng who spoke.

Bai Rao looked at Tao Sheng angrily and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The potter said indifferently: "Brother Bai, how much friendship do you have with that potter? How many times have you met with that pottery? What benefits can the pottery promise to give me to the Black Mountain Army? Based on your friendship, I will To have so many of our brothers abandoning their families and careers to join him, the one surnamed Tao must be too good at taking advantage of it."

Bai Tuozuo is stupid and not smart, his face flushed when he heard the words, but he didn't know how to refute.

"Then what do you say? The potter is a gentleman after all..."

Tao Sheng cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Qushuai, the general doesn't know what friendship is or is not friendship, and a gentleman is not a gentleman. The general only knows that today's potters, Liu Biao, Dong Cheng and others in the south, we should not be attached to."

Zhang Yan was surprised when he heard the words: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"

Tao Sheng cleared his throat.He said: "First of all, the pottery merchant and Fu Wan and others supported the prince respectively. There must be a battle between the two of them, and the loser must be the current rebel who bears the eternal infamy. Let me ask our brothers, which one has the right now? Can you tell which of them will win? Therefore, the most important thing right now is to easily join the two forces that support the prince, but to stay on the sidelines, watch calmly, and wait for the two emperors of the Han Dynasty to do their best to win us over. , is the best policy."

Chapter 548 The Man Behind the Scenes

After listening to Tao Sheng's explanation, not only Bai Rao was speechless and unable to answer, but the other Qu Shuai present, including Zhang Yan, were also a little dumbfounded.

What a profound statement!Ox!In the entire Taihang Mountains, there is no wise man who sees the world pattern so transparently.

Tao Sheng's culture is fine.

In the minds of everyone, Tao Sheng should not have these two tricks. I don't know when he became so resourceful and decisive, and he can estimate people's hearts. It's really amazing.

Especially in the period when the two princes were fighting for the world just now, Heishan could neither support Fu Wan Liu Biao, nor support the high-spirited talk of Xuzhou pottery merchants, which won the hearts of all the thieves present.

In short, it is fishing in troubled waters, and the more benefits the Black Mountain Army has at the moment, it is the current strategy. Blindly supporting either of the two princes will drag the Black Mountain Army into this quagmire prematurely, and it is not worthwhile.

Zhang Yan nodded to Tao Sheng appreciatively. Although he didn't say anything, he already had a high opinion of Tao Sheng in his heart.

In recent years, the world has been turbulent, and there are indeed many handsome and powerful people.

Especially those surnamed Tao, they are really better than each other.

Back then, Tao Qian was the leader of Xuzhou, and then there was a Taifu pottery merchant who was the leader in the world. Now the unknown Tao Sheng on his side is also promising.

It seems that people surnamed Tao in this world are going against the sky.

After all the generals of the Black Mountain Army disbanded, they went to dispatch their soldiers to prepare food, grass and weapons, and to fight out of Taihang at any time, creating a storm behind Yuan Shao.

All the handsome men were busy, but only Tao Sheng didn't go to the school grounds first. Instead, he returned to his residence first, and met a messenger guest in secret.
