Three Kingdoms

The Black Mountain Army is an army that emerged after the Yellow Turbans of the Han Dynasty. It is interesting to talk about. I wonder if it is a rule passed down from Liu Xiu's time. First there were Green Forest and Red Eyebrows, and now there are Yellow Turbans, and then Baibo, Montenegro, anyway, in the Han Dynasty, the rebel army was just about color.

"Black Mountain Bandits..." Wang Yi rolled his eyes, doubtful, "...Thieves like this are not easy to deal with..."

The reason why Wang Yi dared to come when Fei Qian's army was approaching was that he had some previous dealings with him, and the other most important reason was that Fei Qian couldn't take action.

It’s not that I don’t dare, it’s that I can’t.

Unless Fei Qian is a fool like Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha.

Fei Qian doesn't have many people under him, except Wang Yi, but who can take his place? Not to mention whether it would be possible for a person with insufficient qualifications to rush to the position to convince the public, and the imperial court may not let the power of this relatively good county in Hedong fall by the wayside and sit idly by.

What's more, if Fei Qian doesn't follow the rules, he will get a bad reputation, and not many people will take the initiative to seek refuge in him in the future.

Just like the Montenegro Army.

Strictly speaking, the Black Mountain Army is so powerful that no one is willing to easily provoke it. It is known as a million soldiers. Although it has some water content like Bai Bo's hundred thousand soldiers, it is obviously two different weight levels.

People like Fei Qian and Wang Yi, or people like Er Yuan, Cao Cao, etc., although they support their own troops, they still respect the Han Emperor in name. However, the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army are all ordinary people living at the lowest level at that time. . Black Mountain is located at the southern end of the Taihang Mountains, and its activity area is among the valleys of the Taihang Mountains in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places.

Ordinary people have no concept of numbers, and they may not be able to count clearly. Therefore, the statistics of the slogan of a million-strong army are mostly imaginary numbers. However, if you fold it in half, there are still more than 300,000, 400,000, and 500,000.

Of course, these numbers include the elderly and the weak.

Therefore, after calculation, the number of combat troops should be around 100,000.

Wang Yi shook his head and said: "The thieves burned down the government, robbed the towns, lost control of the prefectures and counties, and ensnared the people. The crime was extremely heinous, and Zhonglang wanted to punish it. The merit lies in the country and benefits the people, but...the thieves in the Black Mountains hide in the mountains and interact with each other." Traffic, diverted to attack Zechuan, one after another, the battle formation is inconvenient, and conquests have always been unfavorable... In the past, Emperor Ling was also powerless, so he conferred Zhang Yan as the hero of the disaster as a temporary expedient..."

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was constrained by the Western Qiang because of his military strength. After sending troops to Shangdang and Hanoi several times but all failed, he just pinched his nose and recognized it. When Zhang Yan asked for surrender, he named a general who was in trouble. To him, in addition to several other Montenegrin leaders who were also given the title of captain with various titles.

Although they are called Zhonglang General or Xiaowei, these miscellaneous titles are very different from those of Fei Qian's Protector Zhonglang General and the official names of Zhonglang General such as facial features and left and right, just like how the bandits in later generations would also call the bandit leader. Just like the commander...

Therefore, the vast majority of people in the officialdom understood that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was just a temporary measure, so they did not regard Zhang Yan and others as fellow-minded people. The fact that Wang Yi called him by his first name showed this. a little.

"Today, Yudu, Bairao, Suigu and other tribes are plundering Ji and Yan. The prince is smart and smart. You should know why..." Fei Qian naturally has to have an explanation for sending troops, and this explanation needs to be consistent with most people's opinions. concept.

Wang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a while, and said, "Could it be that... there is a shortage of supplies in the mountains?" Since he has been recruited, he naturally has to behave calmly, but now he has sent out most of his troops to sneak out of the Taihang Mountains to loot. In the surrounding counties and counties, there are only two reasons. One is that some people are restless, and the other is that there is no food in the mountains...

In comparison, there is a higher possibility that there will be no food in the mountains.

After all, there are still many rocks in the Taihang Mountains, but the rocks cannot be used as food. Zhang Yan has a large population. How much supply will he have even if he hunts in the mountainous area?

Fei Qian nodded and said: "Your Majesty is indeed a wise man, so I did not go into the mountains to look for traces of thieves, but just stationed troops on the mountain paths..."

Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he sighed: "Wonderful! Zhonglang has a perfect plan, I admire him deeply!" He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, despite his young age, he is really old and cunning. In this way, Fei Qian was blocked The return home of the Black Mountain bandits who went out to rob would be a heavy blow to the people in the Taihang Mountains, and they did not have to lose their troops. After all, the opponents of the Black Mountain bandits who were fleeing outside were the county soldiers in Jizhou and Yanzhou. They did not deal with the Black Mountain bandits. Neither can the army. In turn, we have to thank Fei Qian for cooperating in the interception...

This is almost a good strategy that doesn’t take much effort but can benefit in several aspects!

No wonder this Fei Qian rushed here in such a hurry, he simply reaped the rewards!

If he had as many troops as Fei Qian, he would definitely want to participate...

Alas, what a pity! Why didn't I think of it earlier?

Wang Yi thought he had seen through Fei Qian's plan. While he felt that Fei Qian was a little eager for quick success, he also had to admire Fei Qian's military action as it was just right. He could get benefits from the court and sell it to Yuan. The most important thing about riding a bicycle is that you don’t have to go into the mountains to do the thankless encirclement and suppression. You can achieve achievements easily...

Looking at Wang Yi's somewhat envious look, Fei Qian cupped his hands and said: "Haha, the prince is too praised. A few days ago, he played against Xianbei and got a few foals. Unconsciously, he didn't know the good and the bad. He heard that the prince was deeply involved in Bole. I would also like to ask the prince to identify one or two of them..."

Wang Yi naturally understood what this meant, so he laughed, waved his hands, and declined.

Fei Qian said seductively: "Your Majesty, you think it's too late to conceal yourself? We are both contributing to the country, so how can we distinguish each other? How can the friendship between me and the Prince be considered close or distant?" I have good interests, so naturally I will not forget you, Wang Yi, but The relationship between you and me is the same. Don’t forget...

Since Fei Qian said this, Wang Yi pretended to be helpless and agreed to accept it.

Haha, hehe.

The two of them shared a harmonious smile.

Wang Yi said: "Zhonglang, please relax and eliminate the banditry. The city will definitely support you!" Support what? Do you support the annihilation of the Montenegrin Army? No, Wang Yi will not send troops, nor will he send food and grass except for the consolation gifts he brought today. What support does he have?

Therefore, Wang Yi also means that the governor of Bingzhou is coming, and I know what to do...

Haha, hehe.

Wang Yi and Fei Qian looked at each other, and then laughed tacitly.

After getting to know each other a little bit and understanding what needs to be done, it was time to perform...

Fei Qian held a banquet in honor of Wang Yi and his party, publicly thanked Wang Yi for his support on behalf of the people of Hedong, and expressed that for the sake of peace and stability in the two places, it was his duty to eradicate banditry...

Wang Yi also expressed his affirmation of Fei Qian, wishing Fei Qian all the best in his trip and quelling the thieves...

In this way, the guests and hosts will naturally enjoy themselves.
