In the northern part of the Taihang Mountains, in a valley near the Changshan Kingdom, there are many fortresses and camps. Among them, there is a fortress with the largest area. This is the official residence of Zhang Yan, the official spokesperson of the Black Mountain Army.

"Tell the commander-in-chief that someone has come to pay homage to the mountain."

Zhang Yan, who was disturbed by the sound, stopped wiping the tip of the gun, turned around and asked, "Did he tell me his name?"

"Yes, he claims to be the commander's old subordinate, his name is Sui Gu."

"Sui Gu?" Zhang Yan stroked his beard and thought about it, but couldn't remember if there was such a person. "Go and call him in."

"As commanded."

In two or three minutes, the pawn brought the person in. Zhang Yan carefully looked at the man in front of him, as if he had a vague impression of seeing him before: "You claim to be the former Black Mountain Army, then where are you stationed?

"

"Come back to the Commander-in-Chief, I was originally stationed in the south of the Taihang Mountains, in Sizhou, and was in charge of a small team of five hundred people. It's natural that the Commander-in-Chief can't remember it. After all, it's been five years since I left Shaoshuo."

"Oh? He's actually one of the earliest veterans?"

"The commander-in-chief is so complimentary that a senator would not dare to be a leader."

"Then where do you want to work now?"

"Returning to what the Marshal said, after I left the Black Mountain Army, I have been working under Bingzhou Mu. Lord Zhoumu is kind-hearted and saw that I fulfilled my duties, so he named me a valiant cavalry general (a fourth-grade standing military general), and I have been serving him to this day."

After briefly revealing his situation, Zhang Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, had a look of hope on his face. Although it was short-lived, it could not escape the eyes that had been observing him. When Sui got such important information,

I knew it would definitely happen!

As expected, Zhang Yan maintained her temperament as the boss and asked with a sense of majesty: "Brother, I am really gratified to have such a good future. But I don't quite understand why you came here this time?"

"To be honest, my presence here is exactly what Mr. Zhou Mu meant. He admires the Marshal's abilities very much, so he wants to make friends with you and recruit the Marshal into an official career."

Listening to Sui Gu's explanation, Zhang Yan already had a feeling of resentment towards Zhang Yang, whom she had never met before. However, she suppressed the urge to agree directly and asked cautiously: "You are just saying this. I

How do you know if your lord is using this trick to deceive me, seduce me, and finally kill me? Then I will suffer a huge loss."

"The commander-in-chief is right to have this suspicion." Sui Gu, who had anticipated this situation in advance, was not at all panicked. He took out a letter from his chest, and then took out a small bag from his sleeve: "This is

A document written by Master Zhoumu himself; this small bag is a meeting gift. Master Zhoumu said that as long as the commander-in-chief is willing, he can recommend the commander-in-chief as a general in times of trouble, and take charge of the mountains, rivers and valleys that are beyond the reach of the prefectures and counties along the Taihang Mountains.

With this level of certification, you will no longer be a thief, but a general! A general who will definitely leave his name in history!"

Following Sui Gu's impassioned speech, Zhang Yan hurriedly opened the letter handed over to her. Just as Sui Gu said, every word was full of appreciation and friendship.

own thoughts.

The reason is the same as Sui Gu's previous analysis. Zhang Yan is controlled by other commanders. He needs a powerful enough identity and a strong enough backer.

Although the Han court is not doing well now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Moreover, he also heard that Lu Bu is also on duty in Bingzhou, so what's wrong with following this great god? If he sees that the situation is not good, he will run away again.

The road is there, the opportunity is right in front of you now, how can you not take it?

After brainstorming for a while, Zhang Yan finally made a decision: "Okay, I am willing to make friends with him!"

"The commander understands the righteousness, and I admire him! I just want to ask again, does the commander have any other commanders who have a close relationship with him? Mr. Zhou Mu is in urgent need of people now, so he can take them with him."

"Yes, yes! Just wait a moment." He signaled Sui Gu to stay calm. Zhang Yan shouted and called two guards: "Hurry up and call Du Chang, Yu Du and Bai Rao. Tell me."

We have something important to discuss."

"I obey, little one!"

Looking at the guard's back as he quickly left, the smile on Zhang Yan's face became more and more obvious, and even the tone in which she greeted Sui Gu to drink was full of joy.

Sui Gu, who was sitting below, looked at Zhang Yan's brisk pace and smiled, but this was because the plan was progressing steadily.

[I think it’s time to start going over there, there’s a good show to watch...]

Following Sui Gu's thoughts, a Bingzhou soldier who was dressed almost the same as a Black Mountain Army soldier hurried to the Yu Digen camp located in the valley on the border of Zhao State.

"You said you have an urgent military situation and want to see me?"

"Exactly, Marshal. The younger one is a subordinate of Marshal Guo Dashian. This time I came here to convey the news of Marshal Guo."

"What news?"

"This..." According to Jia Xu's arrangement for him, he suddenly paused at this moment and replied hesitantly: "This matter is too big, I don't dare to say..."

"Dong!" Yu Digen reached out and slapped the table. Feeling unhappy, he pointed at him and said: "The world is big and the earth is big, I am the biggest! If something goes wrong, I will take care of you. I have nothing to do with you. If you continue to trouble me, I will help you."

Cleanse yourself!"

"It was Marshal Guo who said that Commander Zhang Yan... the Commander-in-Chief wants to sell us to... and he will become an official himself." To be honest, the soldier was so frightened that he trembled all over. The effect of his stuttering was that the lie was completely

became the truth.

"What?! He's so brave!" At this point, Yu Digen was completely irritated and kicked the table at his feet: "We didn't recommend him, how could he be the commander-in-chief?! It's the other way around!

Damn it!"

"You will tell Guo Daxian, mobilize the manpower, and we will chop Zhang Yan's grandson into pieces!"

"Young man, go back now!" Seeing that the mission here was over, the soldier smeared oil on his feet and quickly ran away. He left the dragon pool immediately, and then headed towards the tiger's den extremely reluctantly...

Following the movements of him and other soldiers, Zuo Miao Zhangba, Liu Shi, Qing Niujiao, Huang Long, Zuo Xiao, Li Damu, Tao Sheng and many other commanders' camps were really bustling inside the barrier, with all the troops gathering.

----------------------------------

The situation in Taihang Mountain was changing, and things were not much better here in Baibo Valley. The four heavenly kings Yang Feng, Li Le, Han Xian, and Hu Cai gathered together and looked at each other with daggers drawn.

"Tell them where the injury on your face came from!" Hu Cai said angrily. A soldier standing behind him with a bruised nose and swollen face walked to the other three and explained aggrievedly.

"In the name of the marshal, I escorted the grain and grass back to the camp. Unexpectedly, I met a group of people on the way. After asking about my identity, I learned that they were the subordinates of Marshal Han Xian. They said they wanted to borrow food from us for emergencies. I want everyone to

We were one of our own, so we planned to leave two cars behind, but they were dissatisfied and directly asked the younger one to keep all the food. Of course I couldn't agree to this. As a result, they became angry and started fighting with us. One of them was very powerful.

We couldn't defeat the people, so the food was taken away.

He also warned the little one that he should often walk here in the future and bring food to honor Commander Han Xian. The injury on the little face was caused by his beating..." The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he became.

The tears I had been holding back for a long time finally flowed out at this moment.

"Hey! Why are you so slanderous?! When did I touch your food and grass?" Han Xian, who was completely unaware, cursed angrily, then turned his eyes and pointed at Hu Cai's nose: "Oh, was it your instruction?

What did he say? Deliberately framed me so that he could annex my territory?! OK, Hu Cai, he looks like a very upright person, but he still engages in such despicable methods with me!"

Being able to become the commander-in-chief of Fangqu Qu, he is naturally not afraid of hard work. Hu Cai reached out and knocked off Han Xian's index finger and yelled at him: "You little bitch, don't confuse right and wrong here, now I am asking you! The person who beat me

, steal my food, what are you going to do next? Are you planning to ride on my head and shit and pee?!"

"What's the matter?! I'm telling you, I've long been unhappy with you. Since you're targeting me like this today, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you. Don't you want an explanation? OK, I'm telling you, people are not

I did the hunting, but I didn’t get the food. Believe it or not! If you want to stir up trouble, I will stay with you until the end!" It should be said that it was a broken pot. Now Han Xian didn’t want to talk nonsense, so he directly concluded

After saying this, Hu Cai, who was opposite him, was so angry that he stretched out his hand to chop someone with a knife. If Li Le hadn't stopped him, the two would have started fighting by now.

Seeing that the two of them had distanced themselves, Yang Fengcai, who had the most prestige, finally said: "This matter is easy to handle. Since you suspect that Han Siam took it, let's go to his village and see if it's there."

"Hmph, how could he put it in the granary openly? He must have found a hidden place to hide it!"

In response to Hu Cai's cynicism, Han Xian quickly suppressed the anger that wanted to burst out and responded to him word for word: "I only have two granaries in total. Believe it or not, don't let this weird thing go!"

"Hey, aren't there still people? If we can't find food, then the couple can always get along, right?"

Li Le reminded him from behind, and Hu Cai turned to look at his men: "Do you still remember what those people look like?"

"The villain still remembers the appearance of the three people."

"Okay, then it's settled, you can't hide those people!"

Listening to Hu Cai's warning, Han Xian couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I have a total of 10,000 men, and you don't know that they are all in the camp. You can compare them with the booklet and see the results yourself.

"

After agreeing, the four of them rode south together towards Han Siam's camp, but they were completely unaware that their movements were being observed by outsiders...
