Chapter 497

North of Hanoi County, dangyin county.

Huang Zhong's army was not stationed in the city, but outside the north of the city. The site where the army camped was wide and close to the water source, so it was convenient to get water.

At this point, the barracks gate.

Dressed in armor, Huang Zhong is waiting for him.

He personally went to the gate of the camp to meet Zhang Xiu because the army of Zhang Xiu was about to arrive. Now it is early spring, a warm sun across the sky, emitting heat, dispelling the chill of early spring.

Just as Huang Zhong was waiting, a black line appeared on the official road ahead. This black line is constantly wriggling, and the sound of horse's hooves comes from far and near.

Huang Zhong was shocked when he saw it.

Here we are!

Here comes Zhang Xiu!

After Huang Zhong saw it, he waited for a moment. When he could see the figures of the soldiers in the army, the distance between the two sides was less than 100 steps. Huang Zhong shakes his clothes and walks out.

After more than 30 steps, he saw Zhang Xiu and said: "General Huang Zhong, meet the Lord!"

Zhang xiudao said: "Han Sheng doesn't have to be polite!"

Huang Zhong waved his hand and said, "Lord, please!"

Zhang Xiu nodded and led the army into the barracks. After entering the camp, Gan Ning and Chen went to resettle their troops.

Huang Zhong leads Zhang Xiu into the army tent. This is the tent that Huang Zhong arranges people to set up early when he learns that Zhang Xiu is coming. It is the handsome tent of Zhang Xiu..

Take your seat.

Huang Zhong said: "Lord, according to the information he has received, Yuan Shao has sent 100000 soldiers to the South and is almost at the border of dangyin county. Because of the lack of humble troops, they did not go north to fight. They planned to stay near the county seat of dangyin county and take advantage of the county town to defend the enemy. "

Zhang xiudao said: "after the expansion of your forces, there are only more than 30000 elite troops. If you have to face Yuan Shao's 100000 troops, you can't stop it. But now, it's different. With more than 50000 elite soldiers I brought, we have a total of 80000 elite soldiers, which is enough to resist Yuan Shao. "

"But now, we can't fight Yuan Shao directly."

"After all, Zhang Yan's troops are still in dangyin County, which is an unstable factor."

"If it's only Yuan Shao, we'll fight with all our strength and defeat Yuan Shao, then we can recover quickly."

"But if Zhang Yan is here, if we fight with Yuan Shao, and the strength of both sides is weakened, Zhang Yan will kill us in the air and give us a fatal blow, then it's not good."

"Now, we need to solve Zhang Yan first."

Zhang Xiu asked, "how much do you know about Zhang Yan hiding in Heishan?"

Huang Zhong replied, "I will report back to my Lord. There are three main things I know about my humble position."

Zhang xiudao: "tell me in detail."

At the moment, Pang Tong, Yang Xiu and Sima Yi sat down and listened carefully.

Three people are Zhang Xiu's accompanying counselors, is to give advice for Zhang Xiu, must understand the situation.

Huang Zhong said: "first of all, Zhang Yan, although he is a dictator, has never killed innocent people indiscriminately. Zhang Yan had led the troops down the mountain before. Although she had captured nearly 2000 people, she did not cause any casualties. She just carried them away. "

"Moreover, although Zhang Yan plundered the mountain, it did not affect the ordinary people. It was aimed at the rich and powerful families."

"Ordinary people have never been hurt."

"Zhang Yan has a certain conscience and bottom line," Huang said

Zhang Xiu said, "what about the second one?"

Huang Zhong continued: "second, Zhang Yan did not restrain the people in Heishan and did not stop them from going down the mountain. During this period of time, because under the governance of Hu Taishou, Hanoi Prefecture was under great rule, and after the county magistrate of dangyin county was replaced, production was constantly restored, so that the people could settle down. "

"The news spread that many people who once hid in Heishan went down the mountain one after another."

"Zhang Yan did not stop the people from going down the mountain."

"According to the people from Heishan, Zhang Yan from Heishan also restrained the soldiers from committing crimes. Generally speaking, although he is in Heishan, he is similar to the princes who occupy one side

"Third, Zhang Yan is quite chivalrous."

"According to the information inquired, although Zhang Yan occupies one side and has certain power, he is not the kind of person who is greedy for pleasure or power."

"On the contrary, it's chivalrous."

Huang Zhong said: "Mo Jiang tried to fight Zhang Yan several times, but they all failed. After all, he avoided fighting in the mountains. The deeper we know about him, the more likely it is to surrender Zhang Yan. He is not like publicity, but also not like Li Xi and Guo Si. This person has conscience and bottom line. "

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu looked thoughtful.

The expression on Sima Yi's face was slightly dignified, and he said in a deep voice: "most of the people in this world are people with human face and animal heart, and most of them are people with cruel mind but not superficial. General Huang got the news that Zhang Yan was a hero, but what if Zhang Yan was a deep man in the city? You know, people who can control countless people and soldiers can't be simple goods. "

Huang Zhong said, "what Zhongda said is true, but what I have explained is only the information I know."Sima Yi said no more.

"Newspaper!"

All of a sudden, a soldier came in and reported: "I'm calling on Taiwei. Envoy Zhang Yan came outside the camp and asked to see Taiwei."

"Please

Zhang Xiu gave an order.

At this moment, there was an unexpected look on Zhang Xiu's face.

He never thought that Zhang Yan arranged envoys to come as soon as he arrived in dangyin County, which was really unexpected.

Huang Zhong, Sima Yi and Yang Xiu were also surprised.

Not long after, a young man with a strong figure and an ordinary face came to the camp. When the young man saw Zhang Xiu, he hugged his fist and said, "I've seen Tai Wei Zhang. I'm under the order of my Lord. I've come to invite Tai Wei Zhang to have a talk in Heishan."

Zhang Xiu was surprised, and Zhang Yan took the initiative to invite him to Heishan.

It was an accident.

But on Zhang Xiu's face, Gujing didn't wave. She asked faintly, "what did Zhang Yan invite me to the meeting to talk about?"

The young man once again said: "first, talk about the disposal of the two thousand people who were abducted; second, talk about the alliance against Yuan Shao. Now the army dispatched by Yuan Shao is going south and is about to enter Hanoi Prefecture. Is general Zhang not afraid? "

After a pause, the young man said again, "my Lord, I heard that general Zhang killed Li Xi and Guo Si, and killed the head of the Xiongnu thief. His courage is amazing. Just don't know, Zhang Taiwei dare to go to Heishan? My Lord is in the Black Hills, waiting

Zhang Xiu looked at the young man in front of her, a little surprised. The young man's appearance was ordinary, seemingly plain, but his speech and manner were quite appropriate.

In the speech, it is free and easy.

This man is not simple.

It is more obvious that Zhang Yan is not simple.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu thought quickly in her heart. Soon, Zhang Xiu had the answer and said, "when will Zhang Yan invite me to meet in Heishan?"

The young man looked indifferent and replied, "whenever Zhang Taiwei goes to Heishan and gives his name, someone will come to meet him."

Zhang Xiu said, "go back and tell Zhang Yan that I will be there in a few days."

"Here it is

The young man bowed and turned away.

But after the youth left, Huang Zhong, Sima Yi, Yang Xiu and others fried the pot.

One by one, they looked worried.

Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "Lord, although it is said that Zhang Yan may be recruited to surrender in a humble position, in fact, as Zhong Da said, what kind of person Zhang Yan is is still unknown. I object to your going to see Zhang Yan in Heishan. If you want to negotiate with Zhang Yan, that's Zhang Yan coming down the mountain to negotiate. How can you commit a personal risk? "

Pang Tong said: "if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, he will fall short in case of a mistake. I'm in a humble position. I'm against the Lord's going. "

Yang Xiu also said: "my Lord, I'm against humble position. You don't have to go in person. It's OK for you to go to your humble post as an envoy. I'd like to go to Heishan for a while, Zhang Yan. "

Sima Yi said: "Lord, please think twice!"

All of them are opposed by Qi Shushu and do not want Zhang Xiu to go. Because Heishan is Zhang Yan's territory, in case Zhang Yan wants to kill Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu will be in a very dangerous situation.

It's quite dangerous.
