He did what he said, and immediately selected his soldiers to storm the Black Mountain camp in the middle of the night.
But Jia You had anticipated this in advance.
There is no need to say more about the process of this battle.
After being frustrated again, Zhang Dashan returned to his camp in disgrace.
Seeing this, the general couldn't help but came over and said with a grin: "General, why don't you... withdraw first?"
"How can I explain to the king that we are withdrawing our troops at this time?" Zhang Dashan shouted with eyes wide open.
He will shrink his neck.
Here, after experiencing all this, Zhang Dashan no longer dared to underestimate the enemy, nor did he dare to treat the Black Mountain Army as ordinary horse bandits.
A brief confrontation began between the two sides.
The news soon reached Xiao Yuan.
At this time, Xiao Yuan was looking at the past official documents from Jinling County. After listening to the report, he closed the bamboo slips and threw them on the desk with a slight weight.
This action showed that he was already a little angry.
The generals on both sides below saw this and couldn't help but look at each other.
Because this is so unexpected!
The scene was quiet for a short while, and then Xu Hu stepped out of the queue, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the last general invites you to fight!"
Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly: "Now that the decisive battle is imminent, I have no extra energy."
Hearing this, Shangguan Wenruo stood up and said with cupped hands: "General Zhang has been frustrated twice. It seems incredible, but it is actually intriguing. From the perspective of a humble minister, I am afraid that there are experts in the Black Mountain Army."
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan raised his head and felt something in his heart.
With only 20,000 Black Mountain troops, how could Zhang Dashan be defeated!
Shangguan Wenruo reminded him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said solemnly: "The Black Mountain Army is entrenched in this area, closest to Kang County, right?"
"Yes."
"Well..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment: "How can an armed force of 20,000 people survive? The nearby county magistrate must have had something to do with it! Otherwise, how would they get food and grass?"
After saying that, he immediately said: "Catch the Kang County magistrate immediately!"
"promise!"
At this time, Kang County had been recovered.
A few days later, the county magistrate forcibly took him to the county governor's mansion. After seeing Xiao Yuan, he trotted forward, hurriedly came forward, knelt on the ground, raised his buttocks, and said in a trembling voice:
"See His Highness the King of Qin——"
"Get up." Xiao Yuan said casually.
"Thank you, Your Highness." The county magistrate stood up, bowed and shrank his shoulders, and stood respectfully below, not daring to ask questions. At the same time, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.
Facing the King of Qin, there is no need to say much about his psychological pressure, and he has no idea what the King of Qin wants to do when he calls him here. It is reasonable to be afraid.
Xiao Yuan looked at him naturally at first, and then said straight to the point: "Near Kang County, in the Black Mountain area, there is a rebel army gathering, called the Black Mountain Army. Do you know about this?"
"This..." The county magistrate hesitated.
"Huh!?" Xiao Yuanyi frowned.
The latter was startled, lowered his waist, and said quickly: "Go back to your highness, King Qin. This is indeed the case. These people were the ones who rebelled against the old tribe. They were extremely ferocious. I sent officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them several times, but they suffered heavy losses." , and also wrote to the royal court, but because of the border area, King Liang never paid much attention to it..."
"Tell me something I don't know." Xiao Yuan interrupted him.
"Yes, yes." The county magistrate responded repeatedly, and then said: "There are about 20,000 people in his tribe. The leader is named Xu Rong. He is very skilled in martial arts and has few opponents. There is another person named Jia You, who has always been under attack. Xu Rong regards him as a military advisor, and it is with him that the Black Mountain Army can stay in power all year round."
"Jia You?" Xiao Yuan looked stern.
Shangguan Wenruo was shocked and immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, I have heard of this person."
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan glanced at him first, and then waved his hand to the Kang County magistrate, signaling him to retreat.
After he left, Shangguan Wenruo said: "If the Jia You mentioned by the county magistrate is the same person, then all this will not be surprising."
"This man is a famous scholar in Huizhou. He comes from a famous family. He is talented and has good plans. He is very famous among the scholars in the world."
Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows. There seemed to be a specific circle among their counselors. They were either good friends or former classmates. Xiao Yuan was already used to these.
He motioned to Shangguan Wenruo to continue.
The latter said: "If this person is really the person, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome to defeat the Black Mountain Army."
As he spoke, he frowned slightly: "But why is Jia You, a famous scholar in Huizhou, here? With his ambition, when the King of Jin asked him to be an official, he rejected them all. How could he choose Xu Rong?"
Xiao Yuan reminded: "The rebel army swept through the Huizhou area at the beginning."
"Huh? Then it's not difficult to explain."
"Are you familiar with this Jia You?" Xiao Yuan asked casually again.
Shangguan Wenruo shook his head slightly: "I have never met him, but I know this person. Your Majesty, you should not underestimate him. With him, he is better than a thousand armies."
"Well, trouble!" Xiao Yuan frowned deeply: "Now the Black Mountain Army is entrenched in the rear. If it is not wiped out, it will always be a hidden danger. But according to what you said, I have to dispatch a large army. It is really inappropriate. After thinking about it, , we can only divide some more troops and horses, so that Zhang Dashan can temporarily keep an eye on the Black Mountain Army."
"That's all we can do now. After the decisive battle, we will deal with the Black Mountain Army." Shangguan Wenruo nodded.
This Black Mountain Army is like a nail, making Xiao Yuan worry about the safety of the rear before the decisive battle!
But at this moment, a sergeant ran in quickly, knelt on one knee and said:
"Your Majesty, there is someone outside the palace asking to see you. He calls himself Jia You and is the envoy of the Black Mountain Army."
"What!?" When Xiao Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but stood up and asked: "Is he alone?"
"Yes." The sergeant returned.
"Okay, I understand. You can go down first."
"promise!"
The sergeant saluted and retreated. Xiao Yuan and Shangguan Wenruo also looked at each other.
The latter said: "Since he is Jia You, no matter what he is here for, your Majesty has always been courteous to virtuous subordinates. As a humble minister, he should be greeted with courtesy. If we can get this person, our army will have wings."
"Let's go!" Xiao Yuan said nothing and walked directly out.
Shangguan Wenruo admires Jia You very much. From his words, it is not difficult to see that Jia You must have some talents.
Xiao Yuan took him and walked quickly to the gate of the house. Before the person arrived, he was already smiling cheerfully:
"The visitor is Jia You from Huizhou..."
"Exactly, I have met His Highness the King of Qin." Jia You was dressed in ordinary clothes and had his hair tied with a wooden hairpin. When he saw Xiao Yuan in royal clothes, he quickly bowed his hands and bowed deeply.
His etiquette is very standard, neither humble nor arrogant.
Xiao Yuan quickly stepped forward to support him:
"Sir, there is no need to be polite. Please forgive me for not being able to greet you from afar."
Unexpectedly, King Qin was so polite. Jia Youxian [Long Teng] was stunned for a moment, and then said hurriedly: "Your Highness is really embarrassed."
"Where is it? Sir please come quickly."
