At this time, the army advanced in two directions, resisting the enemy in the east and attacking the enemy in the west. ----------Tang Cui Shi's "A Journey to the Fortress"
It is said that Chen Long arrived at Huguan and met Chu Feiyan, a kung fu beauty who happened to be on duty at the city gate. Seeing Chen Long's talent, Feiyan couldn't help but say that she wanted to try Chen Long's martial arts, and the two fought in a ball at the top of the city. The subordinates next to him all winked and said to themselves that the female general was not fighting, she was clearly aroused.
It wasn't until Marshal Chu Yan came with Zhang Niujiao that he took Chen Long into the city lord's palace. After Chen Long finished speaking about his purpose, Chu Yan pondered slightly, but Zhang Niujiao looked happy. Chu Feiyan was also a militant, and stood up with great joy and said: "Brother, for such a good thing, I will be included in the expedition."
Chu Yan obviously loves this sister very much, otherwise he would not let her grow unruly. At that moment, he smiled and stretched out his hand to stop her from talking, and said: "Although what General Chen said is very good, how can I have so many soldiers here? If we expand blindly, I am afraid that our strength will be dispersed." Chu Feiyan reluctantly called "Brother", obviously Dissatisfied with what his brother said.
Chen Long smiled and said: "If Ding Yuan and Lu Bu's armies were still in Bingzhou, Commander Chu's words would certainly make sense. Now that thousands of miles of fertile land is in front of us, only the yellow scarves of the past and local armed forces are scattered everywhere, all waiting for price, why should the commander be afraid? Yes? With the help of my Green Dragon Cavalry, it can be said that it is invincible. If the commander doesn't take it now, when will he wait?"
Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan were delighted when they heard this, as if Bingzhou had been captured. Chu Yan added: "The local armed forces may not surrender if they resort to force."
Chen Long smiled and said: "Commander, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs? I have here a personal edict given to me by the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an. I can do it cheaply. I have the power of life and death over the officials. I will guarantee you to get it after the incident is completed." What do you think of the official position of governor of Bingzhou?" As he said this, he took out an edict, which was the imperial edict of the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty prepared by Chen Long.
This time Chu Yan was very excited when she heard it. He was originally a big gangster from Zhending County, Changshan County, Jizhou. With his cunning character, extraordinary agility, and killing without blinking an eye, he was admired by the underworld and respected as "Feiyan". During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Chu Yan gathered a group of young men as bandits, and they fought and robbed for a living in the mountains and rivers. When the Yellow Turbans were destroyed and Chu Yan led his men back to Zhending, the number of his men had reached more than 10,000. In the second year of Zhongping (AD 185), Zhang Niujiao, a native of Boling, Jizhou, also gathered a group of people, claiming to be generals, and joined forces with Chu Yan. At the beginning, Chu Yan elected Zhang Niujiao as his leader and marched to attack Yitao County in Jizhou. He risked his life to save Zhang Niujiao who was shot by a stray arrow. He was also seriously injured. Zhang Niujiao and his men were grateful to Chu Yan and respected him as their leader. The leader continued to rob houses and guerrilla in Jizhou.
Chu Yan was as light as a swallow, brave and good at fighting, and his troops continued to grow. He contacted the rebels in Changshan County, Zhao County, Zhongshan County, Shangdang County, Hanoi County and other places. Sun Qing, Wang Dang and others, the small leaders of the rebels, They all brought their followers to Zhang Yan's command. Zhang Yan's followers grew to nearly one million people and were known as the "Black Mountain Army". All counties and counties north of the Yellow River were invaded, but the imperial court was unable to send troops to encircle and suppress them.
After Dong Zhuo led his troops into Luoyang and took control of the government, Yuan Shao and others fled Luoyang one after another and divided the territory among themselves. Yuan Benchu's family had a great business, and they even recruited troops in Jizhou. Chu Yan's base area was gradually eroded by Benchu, and many of his subordinates gradually dispersed.
Zhang Yan was squeezed out by Yuan Shao, and Bingzhou happened to be empty, so his power gradually expanded to Bingzhou, temporarily straddling the border between the two states. Chu Yan had always hated being hunted down by Yuan Shao as a bandit. Unfortunately, she was actually a bandit, so she had no choice but to use the dangers of the Taihang Mountains to deal with Yuan Shao's army. It seemed to be a cat-and-mouse situation.
Suddenly, a prominent general Chen Long came, who not only helped him conquer the main cities of Bingzhou, but also successfully whitewashed himself and became the governor of Bingzhou recognized by the Eastern Han Dynasty. From then on, he transformed into a prominent family. This carrot was so sweet that Chu Yan couldn't help but take the bait.
The conversation that followed became extremely smooth. Chu Yan not only agreed to supply Chen Long's troops and maintain the access route, but also personally led an army of 100,000 people. Half of them marched to Wangwu Mountain, assisted Zhao Yun in attacking north, and took over the defense of each county. The other half followed. Chen Long went north along the line of Jinyang and Shuozhou, vowing to unify all counties in the merged state.
As a general with the rank of deputy commander of the Montenegrin Army, Chu Feiyan naturally accompanied the army on the expedition. She deliberately chose to follow Chen Long's troops and let her brother and Zhang Niujiao lead the troops to Zhao Yun, becoming Chen Long's beautiful follower. The scenery along the road is picturesque, the scale of the battle is very small, and Jinyang City is conquered with overwhelming force. The two of them had discussions all the way, and Chen Long allowed her to make the decision, and they were very harmonious. However, Chen Long kept avoiding Fei Yan's fiery eyes, not daring to step beyond the boundaries of emotion.
There were no famous generals in Jinzhou at this time, and the heroes on both fronts were overwhelmed by the tide and the wind. The brief summary is that on this day, the armies of Chen Long and Chu Feiyan came to Shuozhou City, which was an important town on the northern border of the Han Dynasty at that time. They actually repelled a small group of Huns cavalry who looted across the border. The people ate pots of pulp and came to express their thanks in front of the army. People all said that the Xiongnu soldiers were ferocious and the border defenses were deserted, which caused the people to flee in dire straits and make life worse than death. Most of the counties were desolate and completely abandoned.
Chen Long sighed repeatedly when he heard this, and Chu Feiyan suddenly became furious, and suddenly burst into tears again. Chen Long comforted him in every possible way, saying that he was about to ask the Black Mountain Army to rescue the poor people, restore production and life, and benefit the people. Only then did Chu Feiyan gradually stop crying. While Chen Long was waiting, he wrote a letter and ordered it to be sent to Huang Gai of Chang'an, asking not to mention Chu Yan's appointment as governor.
Zhao Yun and Chu Yan joined forces and conquered major counties such as Yancheng, Pingyang, Luliang and so on. Every time Chu Yan occupied a county, except for leaving some soldiers to defend the city, Xi Shu followed Zhao Yun to Mayi County.
At this time, the two main lines of Bingzhou were connected. Chen Long had fought many times with large and small Huns troops in Mayi County. The Huns gradually knew that strong troops were coming from Mayi County, and they all started to plunder. Pointing to Youzhou and Jizhou.
It was already early September, and the weather in the north was getting colder. Zhao Yun and Chu Yan's army finally arrived in Mayi County and joined Chen Long. Chu Yan was grateful for Chen Long's virtue, and Chu Feiyan had a very harmonious relationship with Chen Long. Finally, Chu Yan decided to allocate another 10,000 cavalry to Chen Long. Chen Long was overjoyed. With 20,000 cavalry, he was even more powerful. Cai Wenji was saved.
Chen Long was feeling complacent when he heard Chu Feiyan's sweet voice: "Brother, I want to be the commander of our 10,000 cavalry! Follow General Wen Long to fight the Huns!" Chen Long's head was as big as a fight, and his mood plummeted. He was so embarrassed by this aunt. Quickly pull to the bottom.
