Volume 2 Chapter 35: Kill one to warn a hundred (Part 2)

Zhang Yan led a few big leaders to entertain Zhao Yun and his gang in the tent. Outside the tent, the Ye Mansion people were also arranged to have a meal with Zhang Yan's subordinates. Ye Hu did not go in with Ye Xiaoyi and others. He inspected the Ye Mansion people and others outside, secretly instructing everyone not to touch Zhang Yanjun's food, and keep their weapons at hand, and be prepared to start fighting at any time.

Zhang Yanjun was not a fool. Seeing that the Ye Mansion was ready, they didn't say anything, and prepared to surround the Ye Mansion with an order from Zhang Yan.

The people outside were extremely nervous, but Zhang Yan and Zhao Yun in the tent had a happy conversation. After talking about their childhood love, they then turned the topic to the past few years. Zhang Yan told his story of robbery, and Zhao Yun mostly talked about the development of Ye Xiaoyi and others in Luoyang, as well as the method of Lu Bu leading troops in Hanoi, and the policy of governing the people by Chen Ji, the governor of Bingzhou.

Zhao Yun is also a pretty good lobbyist.

Ye Xiaoyi and Guo Jia felt secretly happy and admired Zhao Yun's attempt to "evolve peacefully" Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan understood the hidden meaning of Zhao Yun. He spoke a few words to get rid of the topic, but asked about Guo Jia’s situation in Bingzhou. Guo Jia started with Chen Ji’s governance and talked about agriculture, animal husbandry, water conservancy, city construction and other things in people’s livelihood. Although it did not specifically demonstrate the stability and prosperity of Bingzhou, the situation in Bingzhou compared to the states that were harassed by the Yellow Turbans, Zhang Yan’s subordinates had already salivated and showed an expression that they wanted to rob immediately.

"However, there is Zhao Bao's prefect in the north of Bingzhou, Fengxian's elder brother in the south, Yellow River in the west, and Zilong's brother guarding the Taihang Fortress in the east, so we are not afraid of the Yellow Turban attacks." Guo Jia was embarrassed to say that it was Zhang Yan and others. Seeing Zhang Yan nodding frequently, he changed the subject: "If all the states were governed like the governor of Chenzhou, how could the people's families be destroyed? Brother Chu and Brother Zilong have a life-long friendship, but they had to be wary of each other? Now the court is busy fighting the Yellow Turban, so there are not many troops in each state. Once the Yellow Turban is defeated, I am afraid that Bingzhou will inevitably be recruited by the court and sent troops to fight with Brother Chu and everyone."

To put it bluntly, the court does not attack you now because it is too busy. Bingzhou will not encircle you because you are not in Bingzhou. But once the Yellow Turban is gone, you Zhang Yan will be the one who stands out. Who will you hit if you don’t hit you?

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he lowered his head to drink. Ye Xiaoyi smiled and said to Zhang Yan: "Since Brother Chu treats us so sincerely, I will not hide it from Brother Chu. Chenzhou Mu, who is my righteous brother, has recently been interested in expanding the military and horses in the state. He is preparing to recruit a group of people to distribute land and houses, train troops while garrisoning the land and training, and appropriately reduce and exempt rents and taxes, so that the people in the state can not only recuperate and resist the plunder of the Xianbei... Haha, there are also many military officer positions in the state, haha, haha..."

"Zilong, are you going to surrender me?" Zhang Yan was so happy, but she laughed so hard that she couldn't tell what he was thinking. The big and small leaders under him also stopped eating and drinking, looking at Zhang Yan, Zhao Yunren and others. Although robbery can eat and drink well, it is not the fundamental, but a profession with tying his head and trousers and belts. Moreover, the world is chaotic, and many people flee from their hometowns and do not want to farm, which makes them sometimes have no choice.

"I dare not. If Cong is willing to come to Bingzhou, Yun will give in to Yun's position." Zhao Yun said this very sincerely. The two have a brotherhood. Although Chu Cong is now the leader of a big bandit, he became an official, and in terms of personal relationships, he is still the eldest brother.

"Brother Chu is a great figure. Brothers are also very good-looking. How can you use poor mountains and bad waters? Besides..." Guo Jia wanted to continue persuading, but Ye Xiaoyi grabbed him.

Ye Xiaoyi didn't care about the eyes of the big and small leaders. She smiled and said to Zhang Yan: "Brother Chu. Say something that is taboo. How can you be an official as a bandit? Officials are bandits with a court license."

Puff~~ When the big and big boss heard this, he choked. Even Zhang Yan, who was holding a heavy heart, burst into laughter.

Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Guo Jia took advantage of the situation to slap the pros and cons of the bandits and explained implicitly, and calculated the life of Zhang Yan for Zhang Yan. For example, if you want to get a stock of food, how much does Zhang Yan have to pay? This price includes fighting with officers and soldiers, fighting with other bandit gangs and losing lives; including risks that need to be prevented from moving around, manpower; and the embarrassing situation of no food or wealth after the increase in refugees. When you become an official in Bingzhou, the risk of life is reduced by half. The soldiers can not tattoo their faces, and they can allocate arable land to farm and build houses, so that everyone can get married and have children, settle down, and reduce bloodshed and sacrifice...

"The meaning of filial piety is to obtain the greatest benefit at the smallest price. This is the best strategy." Zhao Yun saw that Zhang Yan's subordinates were dizzy, so he said to Zhang Yan: "Of course, how to lead the brother is the brother's business. Even if they go to Bingzhou in the future, they will be subject to the brother's control. Everything needs to be decided by the elder brother." After talking for a long time, Zhang Yan's subordinates had all kinds of expressions, but none of them dared to speak casually. From then on, it can be seen that at least Zhang Yan has absolute power in his own team.

"Haha, let's talk about brotherly feelings first today, and then talk about something else." Zhang Yan did not completely refuse, and also left time to discuss with his brothers. After all, Zhao Yun was just a small businessman. Although Guo Jia is famous, he has no real power. They asked for solicitation without any evidence.

Zhao Yun and others were satisfied with Zhang Yan's answer. They ate and drank for a long time before the table was separated. After the table was dispersed, Zhang Yan pulled Zhao Yun to chat, and Ye Xiaoyi instructed Hua Tuo to heal the wounds of Ye Mansion and Zhang Yan, and then condoms them. Hua Tuo borrowed water, washed away the remaining rouge, tied the man's bun again, and took the medicine box. Wu Pu, who was obsessed with Hua Tuo's beauty, also followed him, saying that he wanted to learn medicine, and put it next to Hua Tuo like a dog skin plaster, refusing to move the place, even Liu Ye could not stop him from drawing a knife and trying to cut it.

"Forget it, this is also the disaster of Yuanhua. That Wu Pu, let him go... go~~" Ye Xiaoyi covered his cheeks that were laughing and cramped, turned around and asked Guo Jia again, "Fengxiao, do you think there is a way to pull Zhang Yan?"

"Now, when he has too much power and even the court cannot control it, he will probably ask for surrender himself. At that time, how could a small Bingzhou worker tolerate him?" Guo Jia thought about how he had to open up Chen Ji's pass and get Zhang Yan back. Their terrain was familiar, and there should be no problem in defending the Taihang Mountains area, and he could be the Eastern Army reserve in Bingzhou.

"There is no problem with Brother Yuan Fang. He knows the righteousness. He will definitely take these people in and take education as his own responsibility." Ye Xiaoyi was nodding his head and heard a roar not far away. She and Guo Jia looked closely and found that it was Hua Tuo who was smashing someone there.

The Ye family army, the Baihuahua Army, Zhang Yan's soldiers, and Hua Tuo fell seven or eight times in a row. After the fall, he was still angry. He glanced at the group of dazed beside him with a sad gaze and asked, "Who else said I look like a woman?"

sweat.

"It's over, everyone will definitely dare to think but not speak in the future. But... Yuanhua really looks like a woman." Ye Xiaoyi thought for a while, thinking that if he hadn't seen Hua Tuo running naked, he might have had such a question, but although Hua Tuo was powerful, his naked body was just average and not enough to see. If it were Guo Jia and Zhao Yun running naked... Hehehehe.

"Xiaoyi, saliva is coming out." Guo Jia wiped Ye Xiaoyi's saliva with her cuffs.

Zhang Yan kept Zhao Yun and others for one night, and early the next morning, he sent them back to Bingzhou, and returned the hundreds of women that Zhang Baiqi had robbed to Ye Xiaoyi. In order to win over Zhang Yan, Ye Xiaoyi paid him money, which was considered as buying them according to the rules on the road, and invited his brothers to drink.

During the farewell, Zhang Yan vaguely revealed that if Chen Ji was willing to come forward to seek comfort, he would also want to lead the team to Bingzhou, obey Chen Ji's orders, and let his brothers have land and houses. Ye Xiaoyi was ecstatic and felt that Zhang Yan was becoming more and more friendly, and he wanted to take him back to Bingzhou on the spot.

Without mentioning the other side, Ye Xiaoyi returned to Bingzhou with such a happy and pleasant mood, so he summoned Xi Zhicai, Cheng Li, Chen Qun and others to hold a meeting to see how to recruit Zhang Yan and how to arrange Zhang Yan's subordinates. After everyone discussed it, Chen Qun sorted it out and submitted it to Chen Ji. Chen Ji wanted his son to do something, and saw that there was a way to share the worries of the people, so he did not stop him. He wrote a letter and stamped it. He was willing to accept Zhang Yan and others, and submitted it to the court for some rewards.

So, Zhao Yun, Ye Xiaoyi, Guo Jia and Liu Ye took another to work, and brought the five hundred most awesome warriors to Changshan to find Zhang Yan.

This time, after entering Zhang Yan's territory, Ye Xiaoyi found that Zhang Yan's subordinates had obviously better expressions and did not have the hostility of the last time. However, there seemed to be a lot more people.

"Those people who don't look like Zhang Yan." Guo Jia never forgot about it. After seeing the big and small leaders under Zhang Yan, he imprinted the faces of those people in his mind.

"...Are they from the other teams?" Liu Ye said. He remembered that after Zhang Niujiao's death, some other scattered teams also attached to Zhang Yan and supported each other with Zhang Yan.

"When I left a few days ago, Cong said that he would gather several other teams to discuss the matter." Zhao Yun nodded, wondering if he had led less people. Zhang Yan should be fine, but the leaders of the other teams were hard to say.

Zhang Yan had already been waiting at the door of the tent. When he saw Zhao Yun coming, he went up to hug him and let him, the three men of the Ye Mansion, as well as Ye Xuan, Ye Wu and other personal guards inside.

Ye Xiaoyi sat next to the desk and felt the air melting. She shivered and found that there were a row of people sitting opposite her like generals, but they were not the small leaders from last time. Judging from her posture, it was Zhang Yan's robbery everywhere, and there were several of their confidants behind them.

"Haha, these are subordinates of Chenzhou Mu. My brother, Zhao Yun, the close disciple of the great sage Chen Shi, and a famous scholar in Yingchuan, Guo Jia, this is Young Master Ye from the Ye Mansion in Bingzhou." Zhang Yan did not introduce him when he saw Liu Ye standing beside Ye Xiaoyi.

"Brother Chu, we don't care who these people are. What do you mean yesterday? Why should we give up the territory we have worked hard to build? Why should we hand over the people we incorporated to Bingzhou?" A man with eyes comparable to a scalper beat the table and questioned Zhang Yan.

"The territory you have captured is easy to fight and guard? Besides, I have already said yesterday that it is powerful, and you will have official positions, and the troops cannot be led by the Bingzhou people." Zhang Yan pulled Zhao Yun over, "What's more, Zilong is a Zhending person in Changshan. I believe you know his name."

"Anyway, I don't agree." The big-eyed man shouted to the people next to him: "Brothers, we will take our own people. The world that has finally been captured cannot be given away for nothing."

"Zhang Damu, what do you mean?" Zhang Yan's face immediately sank when he heard this. "I have told you brothers that I, Zhang Yan, have decided to go. If you guys go, I will explain all the consequences."

"But when Brother Niujiao died, he didn't say that we would surrender. He was weak when he saw the imperial court's official position and treated his brothers as a ritual. I can't do such a thing." The man named Zhang Damei was not polite,

"Can you prevent your subordinates from being surrounded by the court? Can you give your brothers a safe place to live, marry and have children? You can give birth to seventeen or eighteen of them yourself. What about your subordinates? Zhang Damu, I think you are afraid that your subordinates will live a good life, so you won't obey your orders." A man named Sun Qing stood up in the crowd. He was usually close to Zhang Yan. When he heard Zhang Damu ignore Zhang Yan so much, he confronted Zhang Damu and scolded each other.

For a time, Zhang Yan's big tent was more lively than the vegetable market. The two of them fought, some persuaded them to fight, some fanned the flames, and some watched. The attitude towards Zhang Yan's entry into Bingzhou was undoubtedly exposed in this fight.

"Okay, stop arguing." Zhang Yan spoke, and everyone calmed down again.

"In a word, those who are willing to go to Bingzhou with me will follow me. If you don't want to, please leave here." Zhang Yan made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

"Let's go, from now on, we will be both officials and bandits." Zhang Damu took the lead in leaving. Behind him, several confidants followed closely, and some bandit leaders who were not very close to Zhang Yan stood up and followed him out.

When the others in the tent saw this, the buzzing sound was endless.

Leave, or stay?

Everyone was hesitating and heard a few screams from outside. After a moment, several soldiers came in with the heads of Zhang Damu and others and respectfully placed them on the table in front of Zhang Yan.

Another Hongmen banquet.

Ye Xiaoyi thought that Zhang Yan's method was so tough, no wonder Zhang Niujiao was willing to pass the seat to him. He took the initiative to do it first. Killing these rebels can shock everyone, and secondly, to avoid trouble in the future.

"Brother is doing well. If we don't kill them, how can we meet the Chenzhou Mu?" Sun Qing, who was still quarreling, spoke. He spoke, and the person named Wang Dang behind him also nodded. The atmosphere slowly eased, except for a few who were still silent, most people immediately expressed their approval of Zhang Yan's decision to surrender to Bingzhou.

Zhang Yan nodded in praise, asked his men to put a banquet on the hem, and started a formal banquet.

Shocked by Zhang Yan's methods, the bandit leaders of all sizes respected Zhao Yun and others. Seeing that Zhang Yan and Zhao Yun were close, they all came forward to toast. After toasting, a man who had been silent in the corner picked up the wine glass and walked to Zhang Yan, Ye Xiaoyi and others.

"Zhang Yan. They are afraid of death, but I am not afraid of death. Although I, Guo Daxian, don't know how to write, I know that my brothers' righteousness cannot be lost. At the beginning, Zhang Damu and I worshiped brothers. If you kill him, just kill me together." The man named Guo Daxian was a stubborn temper. After he yelled with Zhang Yan, he walked to Ye Xiaoyi and the other two and poured wine on Ye Xiaoyi's face: "What are the governors of Bingzhou, what are the affairs of Ye Man, you women, don't get involved in men."

The noodles were splashed by wine, and a few drops burst into his eyes. The spicy feeling made Ye Xiaoyi's blood surge. She was about to get up and draw his sword without even wiping it, but Guo Jia pulled her behind her.

At the same time, Liu Ye stepped forward, shouted angrily, pulled out the knife, and waved his hand and chopped it.

A cold light flashed, Guo Daxian's bulky body fell to the ground, and blood from his neck instantly sprayed into the ground, and Liu Ye's blade suddenly stood a head with his eyes open. Even though the bandits killed people like numb, they had never seen Liu Ye's grade as cruel as he was.

"Whoever disrespects is a role model."

In shock, Liu Ye showed his gloomy smile again. Holding the head with a knife, he pointed Guo Daxian's ugly face at Ye Xiaoyi: "Sister Ye, what should I do with him?"

Looking at Guo Daxian's eyes dying with his eyes closed, Ye Xiaoyi resisted the retching. She nodded slightly and said softly: "Let's be in peace."

＝＝, Today’s game is really sad, especially when changing jerseys, it seems like a hero is old and can no longer return to the battlefield. Sigh and crawl away.
