Chaoge, Luchang Mountain.
There is also a banquet being held here. It may not be appropriate to say this, but it should be said to be a carnival.
Because one of the five leaders of the Black Mountain Bandits, Yu Du, led people down to plunder some more, so he was celebrating grandly.
I saw people gathering in twos and threes in the village, drinking from large bowls and eating large pieces of meat. They were so happy. There was a scene of carnival everywhere.
On the top of the mountain, Yu Du called his confidants and drank to celebrate. While drinking, enjoy the singing and dancing of the beauties below (who came back from the mountain to plunder).
They are all brothers, and everyone is very relaxed and sits casually. Shirtless, drinking from big bowls and eating big chunks of meat. Talking and laughing, it was simply a sea of carnival.
Although Yu Du was drinking fine wine and watching beauties singing and dancing, he was still bored and couldn't be happy.
why? Because he and Zhang Yan failed in their competition for the position of commander of the Black Mountain Army.
What happened was that Zhang Niujiao, a remnant of the Yellow Turbans, who was the boss of the Black Mountain Army, unfortunately died due to the recurrence of his old illness.
As Zhang Niujiao's confidant Yu Du, he originally thought that he should naturally become Qu Shuai. Unexpectedly, Zhang Niujiao was more fond of Zhang Yan, so he ordered everyone to worship Yan and said, "Yan must be the commander in chief."
The three commanders, Yang Feng, Sui Gu, and Tao Sheng, had always admired Zhang Yan's quickness and speed, so they naturally supported Zhang Yan.
Except for Bai Rao, another commander-in-chief, Yu Du had no one else to support him, and his reputation in the Black Mountain Army was not as good as Zhang Yan's. So three to two, the minority obeys the majority. As one can imagine, Zhang Yan became the commander-in-chief of the Montenegrin Army, nominally commanding the Montenegrin Army.
When Yu Du lost the election, he was naturally unhappy, and at the same time he also hated Zhang Yan and the others. I thought that if I had the chance, I would do something spectacular and impress them.
Yu Du was just like this, drinking wine tastelessly while daydreaming, and enjoying the singing and dancing listlessly.
Suddenly, I saw a little guy below, broke in, and yelled.
"The commander-in-chief is not good, something big has happened."
At that time, Yu Du couldn't help it. He was already very depressed, but the minions came over to cause trouble.
Hearing a bang, Yu Du broke the wine glass in anger. The singing and dancing stopped in response, and everyone in the audience was surprised. They didn't know how to make him angry, and they didn't dare to drink anymore.
Seeing that his boss was angry, the little guy was so frightened that he sat on the ground and quickly begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, forgive me, I didn't mean it," he said while kowtowing.
Yu Du looked at these expressionlessly. After a long time, he finally said angrily, "If there's anything going on, please report it immediately. If you don't tell me a good reason, I'll chop you up and feed it to the dogs."
Hearing what the commander said, the minion quickly raised his bloody forehead and said anxiously.
"Report to the king that something happened to the two commanders stationed in Zhongshan."
What? Yu Du was taken aback, stepped forward, grabbed the little guy by the collar, and roared.
"What did you say, what happened to them?"
The little gangster was in great pain from being caught, so he took a breath and said.
"The two commanders went to plunder Yuan Shao's grain and grass in the Bohai Sea. They were surrounded by the official army, the whole army was wiped out, and they themselves were killed. Now a brother who escaped with his life came to report, and I came here specially to report."
Hearing this, Yu Du let go of him and angrily kicked away the table in front of him.
"It's really unreasonable. Yuan Shao has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. He dares to touch my people. I think he doesn't want to live anymore."
I was already in a very unhappy mood, and planned to gather some troops to do something big. As a result, his confidants Li Damu and Guo Daxian were killed before they were dispatched.
It's tolerable, but it's unbearable. It seems it's time to give Yuan Shao and the others some color, otherwise they would think that our Black Mountain Army is easy to bully.
Just when Yu Du was about to give the order to send out troops, this little guy, considering Yu Du's character, quickly persuaded him.
"Your Majesty, please don't be impulsive. Yuan Shao already has strong troops and horses, and now that he has conquered Jizhou, he is even more difficult to mess with. It's better to wait for the opportunity before taking action."
This makes sense, and I thought Yu Du would listen. But how could he obey when he was so angry now?
At some point, Yu Du picked up the machete from his side and stabbed the little guy.
The little minion was defenseless and did not expect that his king would treat him like this. There was only a squeaking sound, the sound of a large knife entering flesh, and he was finished with just one blow.
Yu Du took out his weapon, wiped it with a handkerchief, and then said with a ferocious expression.
"If anyone dares to dissuade anyone again, this is what will happen to him." After saying this, he asked his men to take his body and feed it to the dogs.
Seeing how cruel Yu Du was, whoever dared to stop him quickly knelt down on the ground and obeyed.
"I will obey the orders of the great commander."
Yu Du was very satisfied when he saw that everyone was obeying him and willing to follow him. He was very proud to see the beauties singing and dancing below who were so frightened by his performance that they hugged each other and trembled.
He smiled and rushed forward, grabbing a beautiful woman, and the Overlord forced his bow. He came up in broad daylight. It turned out that he liked this.
In just one minute, it was over, and he left the rest to his subordinates.
Yu Du asked his confidants to beat drums and gather a crowd, notifying the brothers in the village to all go out and go down the mountain to plunder.
After the three drums were finished, everyone arrived and gathered together, waiting for the commander's order.
After a while, Yu Du was seen arriving late, fully armed and protected by his right and left confidants.
After everyone paid homage, Yu Du didn't talk nonsense. He told the story of how his confidants Li Damu and Guo Daxian were killed by Yuan Shao, and also expressed his plan to send out the entire army to plunder the Bohai Sea to avenge them.
Yu Du was cruel in nature, and everyone knew about the murder he had just committed, so they did not dare to disobey, so they all followed his wishes and shouted.
"Plunder the Bohai Sea and take revenge"
"Loot the Bohai Sea and take revenge"
"Bloodbath in the Bohai Sea, revenge"
Yu Du was very satisfied to see that everyone was united and morale was high.
He was seen raising his sword, pointing in the direction of the Bohai Sea, and giving an order with high spirits.
"The entire army was dispatched to wash the Bohai Sea with blood to avenge our brothers."
Therefore, the Black Mountain Army led by Yu Du headed straight for the Bohai Sea, preparing to bloodbath the city and avenge their brothers.
Along the way, Yu Du kept asking his men to inform his troops on other hills. In this way, more and more people gathered, and by the time they reached the Bohai border, they had reached one hundred thousand people.
When the news came, the governor of Bohai knew that the bandits were powerful and Bohai was no match. On the one hand, they strengthened the walls, cleared the fields, fortified the city, and waited for reinforcements from Jizhou. On the other hand, they sent people to Yecheng to notify Yuan Shao to send troops to rescue immediately.
For a time, the Bohai Sea was in crisis, and a war was about to break out.
