In fact, what worried Zhao Xing not only the greedy gaze of the evil neighbors from the north who turned to Bingzhou, but also Zhang Yan, who had been dormant in the depths of the Black Mountains, was also not worry-free.

Zhao Xing could not imagine how these guys from bandits and bandits could endure the hard life hiding in the Taihang Mountains. He could endure it for many years, and just escaped the plague that was rampant in Youzhou and Jizhou.

After the shadow's in-depth investigation, there are no less than 80,000 people who are still following Zhang Yan as bandits, all of whom are loyal to Zhang Yan and obey their own words. When there was no strong enemy besiegingly, Zhang Yan was very conscious and never provoked Zhao Xing. He strictly restrained his subordinates to rob Yuan Shao of Jizhou and would never harass Zhao Xing of Bingzhou to the west.

Yuan Shao, who was deeply harmed by Zhang Yan, finally adopted a similar method of appeasement, which was exchanged for peace for a period of time. Yuan Shao's approach was to send envoys to contact Zhang Yan, saying that Jizhou could regularly provide food and necessary daily necessities to the Heishan Army. The condition was that Zhang Yan would restrain his subordinates and not cause trouble in the territory of Jizhou, which would make people panic and the people would not even have the intention to cultivate the fields.

Zhang Yan actually accepted Yuan Shao's suggestion and stayed in Black Mountain to become a bandit who was obedient. In fact, Zhang Yan also had his own ideas, but with the ladder that Yuan Shao stretched over, he successfully achieved the purpose of preserving his strength and waiting for an opportunity.

The rapid demise of Zhang Jiao and others made Zhang Yan see the huge risks that he had to face to "make a revolution" with his mud legs. Just the Zhao Xing in Bingzhou can kill three Zhangs in a row, not to mention that there are also military iron-fisted figures such as Lu Zhi in the court. For the Black Mountain Army, the final result of attacking everywhere and making enemies is to disappear quickly like Zhang Jiao. Since the time and situation are not ripe, it is better to stay in Black Mountain and seize the time to train the troops, waiting for the opportunity to take advantage of it and follow the trend.

Zhao Xing kept spying on Zhang Yan's movements in Heishan, and Zhang Yan was also paying attention to the situation in Bingzhou. Although he could not learn all the system and military system of the Zhenbei Legion, Zhang Yan, who was smart, still found content worth learning from the several wars that the Zhenbei Legion had already shown.

With the full support of several hard-core subordinates, Zhang Yan drastically adjusted and reformed the interior of the Black Mountain Army. Zhang Yan first completely abolished the bandit practice of forming an army on the hilltops and abolished the titles of various counterfeit villages, collectively known as the Black Mountain Army.

This approach has a completely transformed effect on the Black Mountain Army. In the past, Wulu, Bailu, Qigu and four hamlets were easily wiped out by Gao Shun and his new recruits. The biggest problem was that they fought on their own, without unified command, and the bandits were too harsh. Similarly, the three people who ambushed Wang Lu were Zuo Wang, Zhang Zai, and Yu Du, and were also a group of mobs. After encountering the tenacious resistance of the Zhenbei Army, they immediately defeated and fled.

Now the Black Mountain Army has broken through the restrictions of the parody and has a unified command system. Although it is not very perfect, it has become a qualitative leap for this army of refugees and bandits. The Black Mountain Army, which has always been looked down upon by Zhao Xing, almost made Zhao Xing capsize in the gutter and eventually lost the Bingzhou defense battle.

The second thing Zhang Yan did was to imitate the practice of the Zhenbei Legion of 80,000 Heishan Army and set it into six divisions: Niujiao, Feiyan, Baibo, Baiqi, Baiqi, Baiqi, and Baihan. Among them, the number of Niujiao Army and Feiyan Army was 20,000 each, and Zhang Yan was directly commanded by Zhang Yan. The soldiers under his command were all elite Heishan Army. Niujiao Army was good at attacking and Feiyan Army was good at shooting; in addition, the number of Baiqi, Baibo, Baiqi, and Baihan Army was 10,000 each, and the four confidant generals under Zhang Yan were Baibo, Sun Qing, Wang Dang and Du Chang as the chief generals.

After such an integration, the Black Mountain Army further highlighted Zhang Yan's status and role as the head commander, ensuring the smooth flow of military orders, and it is also a very important link in military governance. Zhang Yan's vision is also vicious enough, and whoever is the best will learn from him. Since the Zhenbei Legion claims to be invincible in the world, it will naturally become the object of Zhang Yan's learning and imitation. If Zhao Xing knew that Zhang Yan followed him like this, he would not know whether he should be proud or sigh?

The third thing Zhang Yan did was to use various furs, medicinal materials and mountain products produced in the Taihang Mountains through secret bargaining with Yuan Shao, and after six years of accumulation, the Heishan Army finally replaced the unified standard weapons produced in Jizhou. Zhang Yan's ability to do this has a lot to do with Yuan Shao's intentional or unintentional secret support.

After accomplishing these three things, the Black Mountain Army led by Zhang Yan has changed from a peasant uprising army to an armed separatist force. During the six-year contact with Yuan Shao's forces, Zhang Yan and Jizhou more or less established a fixed and long-term contact information, and the two sides actually reached a tacit understanding between each other.

Since the East Route Alliance gathered in Guangping, Yuan Shao sent an envoy to inform Zhang Yan. At this critical moment, he must not cause trouble for Jizhou. As long as Zhang Yan is calm and obeys himself, when the imperial army sank Zhao Xing, the Yuan family will come forward to help Zhang Yan speak and ask the emperor to recruit the Heishan Army.

The conditions offered by Yuan Shao directly hit Zhang Yan's heart. For the future of the Heishan Army, the best result and way out is to justify the bandits to become a regular army that eats imperial grain. In fact, in historical records, Zhang Yan eventually led the Heishan Army to follow Cao Cao, and eventually helped Cao Heizi kill Yuan Shao.

During this time and space, Zhao Xing's strong rise in Bingzhou directly led to all forces fearing Zhao Xing's intentional or unintentional gathering together to keep warm. Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao, who should have been dead, could also pee into a pot. I have to say that luck is really a mess.

Originally, Zhang Yan was about to stay in Heishan safely and watch the imperial coalition and Zhao Xing of Bingzhou perform a good show of dog-biting dogs. However, recently Yuan Shao sent an envoy to Zhang Yan, which brought more heart-warming chips to him, which made Zhang Yan unable to sit still for a while.

This time, Yuan Shao appointed an important adviser Xu You to Heishan. With Xu You's good eloquence, he could fool people regardless of the east, south, west and north. Zhang Yan was also tempted by Xu You's conditions.

Xu You hinted that Zhang Yan, the eastern coalition forces that attacked Huguan, have encountered difficulties. Gongsun Zan has returned to Youzhou with his men, and Taishi Ci has completely surrendered to Bingzhou. The more difficult it is, if the Heishan army suddenly emerges from Taihang Mountain and enters Yanmen County and Taiyuan County in the northeast of Bingzhou to cause trouble, the Zhenbei Army, which is already in short supply, will inevitably be in chaos and quickly move towards the road of destruction. The Heishan Army, which has made great contributions, will naturally look at him with admiration. Not only will the matter of reunion be more confident, but it may also draw a good territory for the Heishan Army, such as Yanmen County and Dingxiang County in the north of Bingzhou...

For Bingzhou, where it is rich, as long as it is a separatist force, they dream of taking a big mouthful of beautiful bite, including Zhang Yan. The exquisite weapons produced in Bingzhou are so jealous, the tall horses produced in Bingzhou are so jealous, and the food and daily necessities produced in Bingzhou are so jealous...

There are so many products that make the world jealous of people. Since they have been moved and the greed buried deep in their hearts has finally overcome reason and prudence, it is reasonable for Zhang Yan to decide what to do and intend to bite off a few pieces of fat from the rich Bingzhou.

The trees are about to be quiet but the wind does not stop. The storm is about to come and the wind fills the building. How should Zhao Xing, who is already very struggling, face the crazy attacks of the Xianbei people and the Black Mountain army that suddenly increased by 200,000 troops?
