Chapter 164 Conspiracy
"Jizhou is Han Fu's foundation, how could he give it up?" Yuan Shao was full of disbelief.

"Han Fu is an incompetent person, very weak, and has no opinion. Although he has Pan Feng, Ju Yi, and Ju Shou under his command, he doesn't know how to use them. I have secretly contacted Ju Yi a few days ago. He is willing to surrender to the lord. Most of his men I am also dissatisfied with Han Fu, as long as there is a strong enemy to attack, Han Fu will definitely lose his mind, and his subordinates will definitely recommend the lord to take the position!"

"And my lord, you can justifiably own Jizhou!" Xu You conceived a perfect blueprint for Yuan Shao in a few words.

Yuan Shao closed his eyes and thought deeply: "Han Wenjie is indeed an incompetent person. The ones I worry about are Pan Feng, Ju Yi and others. At the beginning, I wanted to use Xue Andu's hand to get rid of Pan Feng. I didn't want to be disturbed by the emperor. This man is brave. Bufan, what a trouble!"

As soon as Yuan Shao's words came out, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and both of them had ugly faces when they sat down. They had fought with Pan Feng before, but they could not gain the slightest advantage by working together.

"My lord, although Pan Feng is the pillar of Han Fu's army, Ju Yi doesn't give in too much, and the rest of the generals are also dissatisfied with Han Fu. Although Pan Feng is brave, he is alone, so there is nothing to worry about!" Feng Ji comforted.

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Since Han Fu's subordinates are dissatisfied, it's really nothing to worry about if it's Pan Feng alone. But who will help me to attack Han Fu?"

"My lord's help is two!"

"Oh? Who can help me?" Yuan Shao asked doubtfully.

"One of them is Gongsun Zan! Gongsun Zan is ambitious and has a disagreement with Liu Yuzheng. He has long intended to replace him. The lord only needs to send an envoy to ask Gongsun Zan to attack Jizhou, and the lord will support him from the rear. At that time, Gongsun Zan will raise his troops, and Han Fu will welcome the lord into Yecheng to take charge of Jizhou, and it will not be too late for the lord to repel Gongsun Zan!" Xu You explained.

"It's a good plan. With Gongsun Zan's personality, he will definitely be fooled. However, Gongsun Zan's strength is not as good as that of Han Fu. Even if Gongsun Zan raises his army, Han Fu might not turn to me for help, right?" Yuan Shao thought. thought about it.

"It depends on the Lord's second foreign aid!"

"Who else can be a foreign aid?" Yuan Shao asked doubtfully.

"Zhang Yan from Montenegro!" Xu You paused every word.

"Zhang Yan? This person is a remnant of the Yellow Turban, how can he help me?" Yuan Shao frowned.

"The prosperity of the world is all for profit. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. As long as it is promised with profit, I am not afraid that he will not help the lord!" Xu You said firmly.

"My subordinates don't have any interests that can tempt Zhang Yan!"

"The Black Mountain Army has a population of nearly one million, but they live between the mountains and forests. They rely on looting for food and grass. My lord only needs to allow them food and grass. Are you afraid that the Black Mountain Army will be disobedient?" Xu You said with a smile.

"Haha, Miaomiao, Han Fuwai will have Gongsun Zan as his enemy, and Zhang Yan won't be raging, so I'm not afraid that he won't turn to me for help!" Yuan Shao laughed loudly.

"Exactly!" Xu You and other counselors laughed.

"Okay, you will contact Ziyuan Gongsun Zan, and you will be responsible for persuading the Black Mountain Army!" Yuan Shao said happily.

"Promise!" Xu You, Feng Ji handed over his hands and took the order.

At this time, Yuan Shao's subordinates were relatively stable, and Yuan Shao's sons were still underage, so they didn't seem to be intriguing like a few years later.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising, it was gradually suppressed. During this time, farmers in Jizhou Heishan and other places revolted one after another, organized under various names, collectively called the Heishan Army.

The Black Mountain Army is mainly active in Zhongshan, Changshan, and other valleys in the Taihang Mountains. Black Mountain is located at the southern end of the Taihang Mountains, so it is called the Black Mountain Army.

The Black Mountain Army is not a unified army. There are countless records in the history books, including Black Mountain, Huanglong, Zuo Xiao, and Zhang Baiqi Leigong.These simple titles reflect the characteristics of certain rebel leaders, such as Lei Gong for his loud voice, Fei Yan for his brisk demeanor, and Bai Qi for his love of riding white horses.

The Black Mountain Army is active in the Taihang Mountains, most of them are [-] to [-], and small tribes are thousands, totaling a million people.

Originally, the commander-in-chief of the Montenegro Army was Zhang Niujiao.He joined forces with Chu Yan, and later Zhang Niujiao died in battle. Everyone elected Chu Yan as the commander, and Chu Yan changed his name to Zhang Yan in memory of Zhang Niujiao.

Although the Black Mountain Army fought independently, Zhang Yan had the greatest appeal. If Yuan Shao wanted the Black Mountain Army to harass Han Fu, he had to persuade Zhang Yan. If Zhang Yan could help Yuan Shao, the Black Mountain Army could be used by Yuan Shao.

Montenegro is located in the northern part of Zhongshan State, which is the junction of Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and the three states.The Black Mountain Army under the command of Zhang Yan is stationed on the Black Mountain.

The entire Montenegro is the old nest of Zhang Yan's army, and there are Heishan troops patrolling everywhere, and there are many reclaimed lands in the mountains and forests, as if they want to be self-sufficient.

At the foot of the mountain, Feng Ji ushered in, and behind Feng Ji, several followers followed.

"My lord, the Black Mountain Army is actually reclaiming the land? Will they not be short of food and grass?" A follower worried.

"Hehe, the Black Mountain Army has millions of people who are self-sufficient in reclaiming land in the mountains and forests? Even if he, Zhang Yan, is not short of food and grass, aren't the others short of food?" Feng Ji sneered.

"Stop, who are you waiting for?"

Feng Ji was walking towards the top of the mountain, and saw a few soldiers of the Black Mountain Army jumping out of the forest.

"Feng Ji, the prefect of Bohai, is seeking to see Marshal Zhang, the commander of the Black Mountain Army, and please inform him!" Feng Ji cupped his hands.

"People from the government?" A Montenegrin army said displeased.

"I have something to ask to see your commander during this trip. You can't afford to miss a big deal!" Feng Ji said solemnly.

"Okay, you wait, I'll notify the leader!" Seeing Feng Ji's seriousness, the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army didn't dare to be careless, and hurried up the mountain to notify Zhang Yan.

In the slightly flat mountain depression, there are countless houses. In front of the mountain depression, on the steep mountain road, there are layers of closed walls, on which there are countless black mountain troops patrolling.

The Black Mountain Army went straight to the wall to inform Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan is tall and powerful, with a beard on his chin.

"Yuan Shao's subordinates came to look for me? Yuan Shao and I have always been in harmony with each other. What's the matter with him coming to me?" Zhang Yan frowned.

"Boss, since Yuan Shao sent an envoy, let's see what he wants to say and what tricks he plays!" Sun Qing, Zhang Yan's under tent, suggested.

"Alright, let them come up!" Zhang Yan waved his hand, and ordered his subordinates to wait for Fang Fengji to enter the customs.

Not long after, Fengji came to the hall with a few followers, "Fengji, under the command of Bohai Governor Yuan Benchu, has met the leader!"

"Fengji? Yuan Shao and I have always kept the water in the well, why did you come here?" Zhang Yan was not a wordy person either, sitting with a golden sword in his hand, straight to the point.

"I came here to seek a way out for the Black Mountain Army!" Feng Ji said neither humble nor overbearing.

"A way out? Don't be ashamed to say that, my Black Mountain Army has millions of people, and I still need Yuan Shao to find a way out for me?" Zhang Yan sneered.

"Nowadays, the Son of Heaven is sitting in Bingzhou, Luoyang and other places, wantonly suppressing the Black Mountain Army. Presumably the leader's forces in Bingzhou, Hanoi and other places have been eliminated one by one?" Feng Ji asked without answering.

Originally the Black Mountain Army was active in Jizhou Changshan, Zhongshan, Bingzhou Taiyuan, Shangdang, Sili Hanoi and other places, but since the rise of Liu Bian, the bandits in the territory have been wiped out, and now in Liu Bian’s administration, because of Liu Bian’s suppression, the Black Mountain Army of all walks of life is not To be wiped out is to be forced to retreat.

Zhang Yan frowned, and said angrily, "Are you here to mock me?"

"I don't dare! It's just that today's emperor is rising, and there is no room for the Black Mountain Army. When the emperor's army arrives in the future, will the Black Mountain Army still come and go?" Feng Ji explained.

"Oh? You want to say, let me surrender to Yuan Shao? But is there any difference in following Yuan Shao?" Want to sneer.

"No no, my lord intends to take Jizhou as the foundation. If my lord wins Jizhou, I guarantee that he will not attack the Black Mountain Army. Only in this way can the Black Mountain Army be preserved!" Feng Ji cupped his hands.

"Yuan Benchu ​​wanted to take Jizhou, so he took it. It has nothing to do with me. I am free and happy in Montenegro!" Zhang Yan frowned.
