Three Kingdoms King of the North

After Zhang Yan quietly listened to Zhang Fang's narration of today's whole process, she asked calmly, "Fang'er, what kind of decision do you think your grandma will make?"

"It's hard to say." Zhang Fang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Originally, Tinghou's land division plan made grandma take extra action. If Sun Qing and Wang Dang didn't come in to disrupt the situation, maybe grandma would agree to submit to the Jizhou army on the spot gone."

Regarding the remarks made by her son, Zhang Yan did not comment, but asked instead: "If you were in my position, how would you deal with this matter?"

"Father, my son once heard from Master Hu that the power of Jizhou is becoming stronger and stronger." Zhang Fang recalled the content of the chat between Hu Zhi and himself, and then said: "If we want to continue to maintain the status quo, then once the Tinghou occupies After entering Qingzhou and Bingzhou, they will send troops to attack us."

"My Black Mountain Army has millions of people," Zhang Yan snorted heavily when he heard this, and then said, "He only has 10,000+ troops in Jizhou, can he beat us?"

"Soldiers are more expensive than elites," Zhang Fang said after a sentence, and continued: "Even though we claim to be a million people, I think my father must be very clear about how many of them are capable of fighting and how many elites there are." .”

"That's right, although our Montenegro Army has a large population, it is not capable enough." Zhang Yan couldn't help but said with some emotion: "When Han Zhan launched an army to attack Yuan Shao, I sent Du Chang and Hu Junshi to lead 1 troops to cooperate. Yuan Shao's more than [-] people were defeated. If it were not for the strength of Han Zhan and Gongsun Zan, it is estimated that the foundation of Montenegro would be shaken. Therefore, the only way in front of the Montenegro army is to defect to Jizhou. It's in your best interest."

"Since father understands this truth, why is he still hesitant?" Zhang Fang asked puzzled.

Zhang Yan sighed, and said helplessly: "Fang'er doesn't know something. When Zhang Niujiao was killed in battle, many people chose Sun Qing as the leader of the Black Mountain Army. As a father, it is estimated that the current Black Mountain Army should be surnamed Sun."

Hearing what Zhang Yan said, Zhang Fang finally understood why his father, as the leader of the Black Mountain Army, was always hesitant when doing things. It turned out that Sun Qing, Wang Dang and others had been holding him back.He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then what should we do next?"

"What else can I do? I can only wait." Zhang Yan looked at her son and said, "I hope that the meeting between Han Zhan and the old lady today will allow the old lady to persuade Sun Qing and others to agree to the change of the Montenegro army."

"It's unlikely." Zhang Fang heard this, and said in an uncertain tone: "If grandma really intends to let the Black Mountain Army return to Jizhou, she should agree to it just now. Why do you want to think about it?"

"She's not trying to think about it, but trying to persuade Sun Qing." Zhang Yan continued: "If you don't persuade Sun Qing, once we return to Jizhou, Sun Qing will take the risk. 6 people is an easy task. If he coerces some more people, the whole Montenegro will be in a state of panic."

Just as Han Zhan was thinking about how to fight back against Sun Qing, Mrs. Zhang said, "Sun Qing, since Marquis Ting has already made such a promise, I think he will do what he says."

"Ma'am, you must not be fooled by this dog official." Hearing that Mrs. Zhang was speaking for Han Zhan, Sun Qing couldn't help feeling a little anxious: "Once the Black Mountain Army surrenders to Jizhou, the old brothers from the past will follow one after another." Madam, please be cautious about being murdered by him."

Mrs. Zhang hesitated when she heard what Sun Qing said. She turned her head and said to Han Zhan, "Tinghou, I still have something to say to these old brothers. You might as well go back to the post house first. You can wait." In the end, it will not be too late for the old man to send someone to notify you."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang wanted to send Han Zhan away, Zhang Fang became a little anxious. He stood up quickly and tried to persuade Mrs. Zhang.Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, the old lady raised her hand to stop him: "Fang'er, you don't need to say anything, I know this matter well. It's getting late, you should go back to the pavilion and the post as soon as possible."

Seeing that the matter was about to succeed, but because of Sun Qing's disruption, the success fell short, and Han Zhan had the intention of killing the other party in his heart.However, he still tried his best to squeeze a smile on his face, and bowed his hands to salute Mrs. Zhang: "In that case, this junior will bid farewell."

When they left the living room, they joined Guo Jia and the others outside.Guo Jia said first: "My lord, it seems that your meeting with the old lady did not go well."

"That's right." Han Zhan was kicked out of it, and his face was naturally not good-looking. He said with a straight face, "Originally, the old lady was a little moved when she heard Benhou talking about Yongyetian. Who knows Once Sun Qing came in to disturb the situation, he messed up the matter."

Chapter 364

Time passed quickly, and the deadline that Zhang Yan mentioned was coming soon.

But in the early morning, something unexpected happened.At the second quarter of the hour, which is equivalent to eight o'clock in later generations, Wang Dang brought twenty soldiers to Sun Qing's mansion.Sun Qing thought that the other party, like himself, was going to prevent Zhang Yan from returning to Jizhou, so he asked his subordinates to let them in.

The two sat down in the living room, and Sun Qing ordered his servants to prepare a banquet for Wang Dang.Unexpectedly, the banquet had just been set up, and before the two of them started to drink, Wang Xiaoer, a soldier standing behind Wang Dang, suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist and slashed at Sun Qing.

A guard who was standing next to him saw that Wang Xiaoer was trying to misbehave with his master, so he quickly yelled, drew out his saber, and was about to step forward to stop him.Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, he felt a pain in the back of his chest. He turned his head and saw that it was another guard who stabbed him from behind.

Although Sun Qing hadn't fought a war for several years since Zhang Yan was appointed General of Ping Nan Zhong Lang, he was considered a general anyway.Facing the saber that was being chopped down, he hurriedly rolled on the spot, and Wang Xiaoer's saber missed.

Sun Qing rolled to the side, hoping that his subordinates would come to rescue him, but he found that several guards standing in the hall were actually killing each other, with little effort, half of them fell to the ground, and the rest stood on the ground. behind Wang Dang.

"Come on, come on!" Sun Qing stepped back a few steps and shouted loudly.According to his thinking, this is his mansion, and there are more than 200 soldiers in the mansion. As long as he hears the sound and rushes over, he can chop Wang Dang and his men into minced meat.

Unexpectedly, when he heard his shout, Wang Dang sneered again and again: "Sun Qing, at this moment, do you really think that someone will rush over to save you?"

Sun Qing saw that one of the guards standing behind Wang Dang was his confidant, and he didn't expect him to betray him.He pointed at the guards and said, "I really didn't expect that Sun would betray me when he asked himself how much he usually waits for you. Tell me, what benefits does Wang Dang give you?"

But when Sun Qing pointed at those guards, the guards who had just betrayed their master bowed their heads in shame.But after hearing what Sun Qing said, his former confidant retorted: "The leader treats us well. But the younger ones also have wives and children to support. The Black Mountain Army surrendered to Jizhou, so everyone can share the land. Such a good thing, Why do you object?"

Many times, people know how to do something and how to say something, but because of the lack of a leader, things are not done in the end, and what should be said is not said.Seeing that Sun Qing's confidantes had already taken the lead in attacking, they also said in a hurry: "Jizhou Mu told you that when the Black Mountain Army surrenders to Jizhou, even if you don't want to stay in the army, you can keep five hundred private items for you." Bing, another [-] mu of land will be allocated to you. And we guards can also share ten acres of Yongye land that can be inherited from generation to generation. You actually refused such a good thing."

"Yeah, if you don't give us a way to survive, you can't even think about living."

Facing the responsibilities of his subordinates, Sun Qing not only did not wake up, but continued to insist: "As long as I, Sun, are alive, I will never let the Black Mountain Army surrender to Jizhou. Yan's hands."

"Sun Qing!" Wang Dang said, "You and I are sworn brothers, and we were supposed to advance and retreat together, but you strongly opposed Zhang Yan leading the Black Mountain Army to surrender to Jizhou. I can't just watch you lead so many brothers to the fire pit." Jumping in. Therefore, we can only kill relatives righteously, and take this risky move."

Sun Qing bent down to pick up a dead guard's saber, pointed at Wang Dang with the tip of the knife and said, "My surname is Wang, thanks to the fact that I have always regarded you as a brother, I never thought you would do such a stabbing thing in the back. Even if Sun dies, he will prevent the Heishan army from surrendering to Jizhou." After speaking, he rushed forward waving his saber, trying to kill Wang Dang with a single blow.

Unexpectedly, he was still four or five steps away from Wang Dang, when he suddenly saw a sharp pain in his lower back, looked down, and found himself surrounded by seven or eight people, some of them were his guards, some were Wang Dang's subordinates, but at this moment The weapons in their hands pierced into their bodies.

Sun Qing spat out a mouthful of blood, glared at Wang Dang standing in front of her, and yelled through gritted teeth, "Wang Dang, if you dare to kill your sworn brother, you will not end well sooner or later."

Wang Dang turned around and said to Wang Xiaoer who was standing aside with a knife: "Send him on the road, and then take his head to meet Chief Zhang!"

Wang Xiaoer agreed, and walked up to Sun Qing.He waved his hands to the guards on the left and right, and those people pulled out their sabers in unison, and took a step back, but they remained vigilant, pointing the tip of their knives at the crumbling Sun Qing.

After the saber stuck in his body was withdrawn, blood gushed out from the wound.As if all the strength in Sun Qing's body was drained at once, she knelt on the ground weakly on one knee, leaning on the ground with her saber in both hands, panting heavily.He watched Wang Xiaoer walk to his side and raised the saber in his hand high.

Han Zhan took Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and Xia Houlan to Zhang Yan's mansion under the protection of two hundred cavalry.Upon learning of Han Zhan's arrival, Zhang Yan immediately sent military adviser Hu Zhi out to meet him.

When Hu Zhi came to the door, he saw Han Zhan and Guo Jia chatting, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "See Tinghou, I have met Mr. Guo! Hu is here to welcome you at the order of my lord, please come in." !"

When Han Zhan followed Hu Zhi to the inside, he asked casually, "Mr. Hu, I wonder what kind of answer Chief Zhang will give me today?"

Hu Zhi looked to the left and right, and saw that the soldiers on patrol and standing guard were some distance away from him, so he lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, Marquis Ting. According to Hu's temptation, my lord has made up his mind to return to Jizhou. However."

Seeing the embarrassment on Hu Zhi's face, Han Zhan quickly asked tentatively, "Mr. Hu, are you worried that Sun Qing and Wang Dang are causing trouble?"

"Tinghou made a good guess." Hu Zhi frowned and said, "Hu was worried about this, so he informed the lord, and dispatched [-] soldiers from outside to lie in ambush nearby. Once Sun Qing and Wang Dang two If people make any misconduct, these soldiers and horses will rush out unexpectedly and catch them by surprise."

"Mr. Hu, please don't worry," Han Zhan said to Hu Zhi with a smile, "I don't know whether Sun Qing will harm Chief Zhang. But Wang Dang will definitely not join forces with Sun Qing today."

Hearing what Han Zhan said, Hu Zhi couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Tinghou, have you heard any news?"

"I haven't heard any news." Naturally, Han Zhan would not easily reveal the agreement he had reached with Wang Dang, but put on a serious look and said: "According to Benhou's observation, Wang Dang has long since ceased to fight for power and profit." Ambition, now it's nothing more than wanting to be a rich man. As long as we meet his request, he will naturally stand by our side."

When he came to the main hall, Han Zhan saw that the leaders of Heishan with a little status were all sitting in the lobby.After he stepped forward to greet Zhang Yan, he sat down at the lower right.After sitting down, he turned his face to Zhang Yan and asked Zhang Yan: "General Zhang, today is the deadline we agreed on at the beginning. I wonder what kind of answer you plan to give Benhou?"

"Mr. Han, please be safe and don't be impatient," Zhang Yan said unhurriedly: "There are still Sun Qing and Wang Dang who have not come, and when they arrive, Mr. Zhang will definitely give Mr. Han a satisfaction." s answer."

Seeing that Sun Qing and Wang Dang did not come for a long time, the leaders of Montenegro couldn't help feeling a little anxious.They have long heard what Han Zhan said to Mrs. Zhang, and they knew that as long as they surrendered to Jizhou, whether they stayed in the army or were disarmed and returned to the fields, they would have no worries about food and clothing. She made up her mind and was ready to agree with Zhang Yan's decision.But some leaders decided to wait and see again. If Zhang Yan could suppress Sun Qing and Wang Dang, they would naturally agree to submit to Jizhou; but once they found that Zhang Yan was helpless with them, they would naturally support Sun and Wang.In order to know the final answer earlier, everyone kept looking at the door, hoping that in the next second, Sun and Wang would appear at the door.

After waiting for another two sticks of incense, a soldier finally came in to report: "Qi report to Chief Zhang, the two chiefs Sun Qing and Wang Dang have arrived, and they are now outside the door."

The leaders, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, could not help but heave a long sigh of relief when they learned that Sun and Wang had arrived, and secretly said: They have finally arrived, whether they will submit to Jizhou or not will be revealed soon.

"Since they have come, let them come in." Zhang Yan said coldly.

The soldier knelt on the ground, and said with some embarrassment: "The king can come in, but the sun..."

"Don't hesitate, talk quickly." Seeing the soldier's hesitation, Zhang Yan said impatiently, "What's wrong with Chief Sun?"

The soldier gritted his teeth and said, "The king is holding a plate, which contains the head of Sun."

"What, the head of Chief Sun?" Hearing what the soldier said, the hall suddenly became chaotic: "Damn it, what's going on here? Who killed Chief Sun?"
