Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chen Lang took the letter and opened it to read it, and sneered: "Dong Zhuo's defense against me is really deep enough!" He handed the letter to Chen Gong. Chen Gong took the letter and read it again and smiled; "Sure enough. Dong Zhuo asked Li Que to stay as the lord's deputy, nominally asking him to assist the lord, but in fact, let Li Que monitor the lord nearby!"

Chen Lang said: "Don't worry about it for the time being, what we have to do now is to eliminate Zhang Yan and control Taihang Mountain." Chen Gong clasped his fist and said: "The lord is wise!"

Later that day, Chen Lang called the generals in the hall and said: "We have prepared for so many days, we can start the action. I will personally lead the army but destroy Zhang Yan." His eyes looked at Zhao Yun and Chun Yuqiong, "Zi Long, Zhong Jian, you two will act with me." The two clasped their fists and promised. Then Chen Lang looked at Guan Yu and Chen Gong, "Chang Yun, Gongtai, you two will stay in Luoyang." The two clasped their fists and promised.

Guan Yu asked: "Brother, if Li Que engages in ghosts while Brother is dispatching troops, what should I do?"

Chen Lang said, "Catch if you can, or kill me if you can't!"

Guan Yu's eyes lit up and he promised with his fists.

Chen Gong smiled and said, "After Li Que suffered such a big loss, he certainly wouldn't dare to mess up again. I don't have to worry about this."

Chen Lang said: "Even so, you can't fail to guard it." Then he said to Guan Yu: "Chang Yun, when I'm away, you have to follow the advice of the public channel, and don't be reckless in case of trouble." Guan Yu is still more to Chen Gong He looked at Chen Gong, and said to Chen Lang, "Brother don't worry, as long as the military commander's words are reasonable, I will definitely obey them!" Chen Gong smiled, "General Yunchang is wise and brave. I believe I won't bother much. Time!" Guan Yu laughed.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Lang and others led the army to leave Luoyang northward, Guan Yu Chen Palace and the Ten Thousand Dadao Camp warriors and the town army camp with 70,000 soldiers and horses stayed behind Luoyang and its surrounding pass.

Chen Lang led the army into the Shangdang secretly, and the troops were stationed in the valley, waiting. At the same time, a huge convoy came out from Jinyang in the north and headed for the Shangdang in the south under the protection of thousands of soldiers and horses.

In the evening of that day, a team of merchants marched from Shangdang to the official road of Jinyang. The carts in the team were filled with goods to be trafficked to Jinyang. Seeing a soldier and horse escorting a huge convoy approaching oncoming, they quickly avoided to the side of the road. After a while, the huge convoy, escorted by soldiers and horses, passed in front of the crowd and headed south. One of the people in the caravan couldn't help wondering: "I don't know what is being transported for such a huge team?" The person next to him said: "When I was in the Shangdang restaurant a few days ago, I heard people say that Jinyang has stored them. The countless money and food accumulated by Ding Yuan that year, presumably what this team transported was the money and food that Ding Yuan had stored back then! Otherwise, why do so many soldiers and horses **** them?" Everyone suddenly realized.

A fast horse galloped into the towering Taihang Mountain in the evening sky, and soon a middle-aged man appeared in Zhang Yan's big tent. Sitting on the head, Zhang Yangao was thin and thin, with a beard and a sturdy image, more like a bandit than a general, with a yellow turban on his head, as if he was still the leader of the Yellow Turban Army. A dozen people stood on either side of him, all of whom were big bosses.

The middle-aged man hugged Zhang Yan and said, "General, I'm back."

Zhang Yanman asked casually: "Is there anything going on in Jinyang?"

The middle-aged man was full of joy and said: "I have brought good news to the general! General, Ying Yangjun is recently transporting the money and grain that Ding Yuan had previously stored in Jinyang to Shangdang, ready to be shipped to Luoyang!"

Everyone immediately started talking, and a tall and thin man thought: "So, is it true that Ding Yuan is storing rich food in Jinyang?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Of course it is true! The Yingyang army in Jinyang loaded the money and food into the truck for a full day and night, and did not set off until the next day! I estimated that the amount of the money and food was enough for us for two years. What a need!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim. A strong man shouted impatiently: "Brother, we are just short of money and food, so let's go and grab the food!" The leaders also shouted, really like a group of jackals that have seen their prey.

The tall and thin man frowned and said, "In this way, don't we have enemies with Chen Lang?"

The sturdy man said in an unpleasant manner: "Why should he be afraid of him! No matter how powerful he is, if he enters the Taihang Mountains, what can he do to us?"

Zhang Yan nodded and said: "Yes! Although Ying Yangjun is tough, we are not afraid of him on the Taihang Mountains! We are just short of money and food. Since there are fat sheep brought to our lips, wouldn't he be sorry if he didn't eat it!" The leaders yelled in agreement, and they all looked impatient.

Zhang Yan stood up, raised his right arm and shouted: "The order goes on, and the army prepares to go down the mountain early tomorrow morning to grab the damn!" The leaders couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Snatch the damn!"

In the early hours of the next morning, Zhang Yan led most of the soldiers and horses, and nearly 100,000 people left the lair out of the Taihang Mountains. Zhang Yan and the others did not walk through the Huguan, but descended from other places in the Taihang Mountains. Although the mountain roads in other places are difficult to navigate, it is fine to move lightly without carrying heavy equipment and heavy supplies. An army of 100,000 led by Zhang Yan came out of the Taihang Mountains from many mountain roads, and then gathered into a torrent and went straight to the official road between the Shangdang and Jinyang. There is Zhang Yan's meticulous work tracking the team of money and grain, so Zhang Yan can accurately grasp the whereabouts of the team of money and grain.

After Zhang Yan led the army to leave, the Black Mountain army who stayed behind in the Taihang Mountains looked like they had nothing to do. Unconsciously, the time came to noon. At the westernmost pass in the Taihang Mountains, two sentries were leaning against the wall and chatting, laughing from time to time. A sentry inadvertently looked to the west, and saw a large army approaching here on the west field. I couldn't help but startled, and hurriedly pointed to the distance and shouted: "An army is coming!" The companion hurriedly looked into the distance, and he saw an army. But then he laughed and said: "What are you nervous about! You can see clearly, that is our own army!" When the sentry heard this, he hurriedly looked carefully, and he saw that the army was all wrapped up. Wearing a yellow turban and yellow robe, he is clearly his own. The sentry was embarrassed and chuckled.

It is said that Zhang Yan led an army like countless locusts to the vicinity of Langyu County between Jinyang and Shangdang. The surrounding hills and dense forests, Zhang Yan decided to wait for the money and grain team to arrive and grab the money and grain. A hundred thousand army lay in ambush on all sides, just waiting for the money and food teams to enter their encirclement.

The sun gradually slanted to the west, and the earth was dimly yellow, and Zhang Yan and others were a little impatient in waiting.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement in front of him, and a huge transportation team, under the protection of thousands of officers and men, came from the north around the forest and hills. Zhang Yan was shocked when he saw this scene, and the soldiers of the Montenegrin army were also in a spirit.

The transportation team didn't know that there was a big net in front of them waiting for them, and slowly came along the official road. About half an hour later, the transportation team got into the encirclement of the Black Mountain Army. Zhang Yan sternly shouted: "Do it!" The drummer beside him immediately thundered his drums, and the rumbling drums instantly stunned the silent mountains. The Montenegro army with a hundred thousand yellow suits and yellow armors and yellow turbans rushed out from all directions, all over the mountains and plains, and went straight to the transport team. The transportation team suddenly became chaotic, and the guards and porters were panicked and fled in all directions. It was important to escape, and no one was in charge of the money or food. The Montenegrin army took all the bullocks and wagons without any effort.

Zhang Yan, accompanied by the soldiers, came to the official road, and saw the bull-and-wagon that was out of sight in front of him. He was overjoyed and laughed.

A leader greeted him and said excitedly: "Brother, all the money and food have fallen into our hands!"

Zhang Yan walked to a carriage filled with large boxes, stretched out her hand and patted the box on the carriage, and said, "It must be all silver jewelry! Quickly, open it and take a look!" The leader replied. With my own hands, I put a wooden box down, and with a bang, the wooden box fell to the ground, looking very heavy! The leader smiled and said, "There must be hundreds of thousands of coins in this one box!" Then he picked up the wooden box with a knife. When everyone saw it, they were immediately dumbfounded. Wherever there are any copper coins in the wooden box, they are all worthless stones!

The leader picked up a stone, examined it, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "How could it be a stone?!"

Zhang Yan said anxiously: "Open all the other boxes!"

The chief hurriedly followed suit and dragged all the boxes on the carriage down and opened them together with his officers and soldiers, all of which were stones! "Why, how could this be?" The chief's eyes widened, looking unbelievable.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yan looked gloomy and made people open the shed on the ox cart nearby. The shed opened, but what was exposed was not grain at all, just a bunch of useless weed branches. Feeling bad, Zhang Yan yelled anxiously; "Go back to the mountain! Go back to the mountain!" The entire Black Mountain army panicked, discarding the useless things that they had just snatched, and hurriedly ran toward the Taihang Mountain!

The sun has set, and the 100,000 Black Mountain Army led by Zhang Yan finally came to the foot of Taihang Mountain. Immediately, the army divided into multiple paths and climbed up the Taihang Mountain through the steep mountain road. A team of soldiers and horses led by Zhang Yan came to a pass. Seeing that the gate of the pass was closed, a leader immediately shouted; "The general is back, open the door! Where the **** is dead!"

A torch lit up on the pass, immediately shining the dim night into daylight. The generals of the Black Mountain Army squinted his eyes, and then he was shocked to find that it was not his army at all that stood on the pass, but the Han army in red and black armor! ! Everyone can't help being shocked!
