Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 448 Zhang Yan guarding the frontier

The middle-aged scribe, after looking at Zhang Yan for a few moments, cupped his hands and said, "My name is Sima Zhao, and I have sent Sima Taifu to come here!"

Zhang Yan was taken aback when she heard this.

Isn't this Sima Zhao the son of Sima Yi?He still knew it.

In his eyes, this Sima Yi's son is just a young boy, how dare he play tricks in front of him?

This is a high-ranking official crushing someone to death. This kid who fights his father is now his boss, he refers to salute respectfully.

"I don't know, what's the use of being here on business?!" Zhang Yan asked.

Sima Zhao showed a flattering smile, and pulled Zhang Yan kindly.

"It's not bad at all, this general is too polite, please sit down with me and talk about it slowly."

While talking, Sima Zhao winked, and his men brought up boxes of jewels.

Zhang Yan was a bandit back then, so he had a natural love for these gold and silver treasures.

However, there is nothing to be courteous, and he is not a traitor or a thief. I know that this Sima family is the generation who wields power above the court. As a local boss, he disdains this generation very much.

"General, do you know that Cao Peng has rebelled today and has become the most powerful bandit in the world." Sima Zhao said.

Zhang Yan cupped her hands and said, "Although I'm located in a border area, I know a thing or two. Could it be that the imperial court wants me to lead an army to quell the chaos?"

Sima Zhao waved his hand, "Of course not. If the general is allowed to go, then who should guard this frontier?"

Speaking of which, Zhang Yan was a little puzzled, then this is neither that nor that, why did you come to him?
"Since that's the case, then I don't know why the young master is here?" Zhang Yan asked.

Sima Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Teacher Sima came up with a way. Although the Huns were brave, they lacked intelligence. He wanted to attract the soldiers of the Huns to fight Cao Peng. When both sides were defeated, the court not only quelled Cao Peng's misfortune, but also destroyed it." Wouldn't it be beautiful to get rid of the troubles of the Huns!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan was furious.

He slapped the table fiercely, "Such a scheme is no different from a tiger seeking skin. After the Huns enter the customs, how can we control them!"

Zhang Yan has lived in the frontier for a long time, he knows too well that the Huns are good at riding and shooting, how can they be dealt with so easily.

Sima Zhao said it lightly, and I am afraid that the disaster of the Huns will be far greater than that of Cao Peng.

"General, this is the order of the Taifu. It is better for you to follow the order. This is my warning!"

Sima Zhao was pampered and pampered since he was young, and he relied on his father at a young age, and held a high position. He didn't take Zhang Yan, the big boss here, in his eyes at all.

The atmosphere was tit-for-tat, Zhang Yan sneered and said: "I lead a hundred thousand black-shirted troops to guard the frontier. This was bestowed by the Emperor Taizu. When will it be your turn to point fingers!"

"Sima Zhao, go back and tell your father that Sima Yi will never let the Xiongnu enter the customs as long as I am guarding here, so give up on that!"

Sima Zhao couldn't help giving this guy a high look. He thought he was just a mountain bandit, but now it seems that he still has a bit of national integrity.

"Okay, there is a way to heaven, you don't go!"

Sima Zhao walked away in a huff, forgetting to take away the gold, silver and jewels he had brought.

Zhang Yan was also not polite, and immediately asked people to accept the things.

He didn't believe it anymore. Now that Sima Yi was cornered by Cao Peng, how could he have the time to deal with him?
Offending Sima Yi is a trivial matter. If the Xiongnu were allowed to enter the customs, it would be embarrassing for thousands of years. He didn't want to be such a national sinner.

……

After the news was sent back to Chang'an New Capital, Sima Yi smiled.

"I have known for a long time that this black man is not a kind person, and I was lucky. Now it seems that I should give him some cruelty!"

Sima Yi had already made a plan for what to do if Zhang Yan hadn't been persuaded.

He wrote an imperial list, and then handed it to Sima Zhao, who asked Sima Zhao to post the contents of the imperial list everywhere and announce it to the world.

After Sima Zhao read the content of the letter, he immediately praised it in his heart.

It turned out that Sima Yi wanted to announce to the world that Zhang Yan rebelled and wanted to let the Huns into the pass.

Sima Zhao took this notice and had it posted everywhere.

Of course, all of this is done in secret, and no one can see through it as a conspiracy of his Sima family.

On the second day, a notice was posted on the city wall of Chang'an, Xinzhou.

It said that Zhang Yan, the general of Bingzhou, led 10 Black Mountain troops to rebel at this time, and benefited from the Xiongnu, so he wanted to let the Xiongnu enter the customs.

Fortunately, a righteous man has reported Zhang Yan, and the imperial court wants to send troops to exterminate him!

The people didn't know the truth, and after reading this content, they were immediately very angry.

"This Yan is too inhuman. If the Huns enter the customs, how many people will we die?"

"Hey, how can I expect these generals to rest assured, how can they care about the lives of the people?!"

Rumors are raging in the market, and they are sweeping the world in a blink of an eye.

The action in Bingzhou was very fast, and the Minister of Supervision of the Army went there immediately.

Liang Xi, governor of Bingzhou, came to Zhang Yanjun, took out the imperial list, and recited aloud.

"Zhang Yan rebelled, killed his nine clans, and sent down his soldiers. If he doesn't want to, he will be punished for the same crime!"

Liang Xi, governor of Bingzhou, had great influence in the local area, and he was escorted by the Black Armored Army at this time to read out the imperial list.

Suddenly, the morale of Zhang Yan's army was in turmoil.

These soldiers had no intention of confronting the imperial court at all, and turned against each other one after another.

Only a small number of personal guards vowed not to hand over Zhang Yan to the death.

"Lord Inspector, there are three thousand soldiers under his command, those guys are not afraid of the imperial list at all..."

Liang Xi, governor of Bingzhou, frowned when he heard this.

Originally, after he accepted this errand from Sima Yi, he felt very helpless.

Moreover, he and Zhang Yan were colleagues, and they didn't want to force each other to death for so many years.

"Forget it, let them think about it again! Make it clear to Zhang Yan that confronting the imperial court is definitely not a long-term solution!"

Liang Xi thought that what he did was the best of benevolence, and the final result of this could only depend on whether his old brother was lucky enough to escape and ascend to heaven.

Zhang Yan was in the middle of the battle at this time, and asked someone to bring his only pair of sons and daughters.

"Hu'er, Yu'er, the traitor Sima in power is so shameless, I was vomited all over my body with dirty water, and I can't wash it off again!"

Zhang Hu said angrily: "Since father is such a traitor, we might as well turn against him and go to the capital to kill this old thief Sima, and it will be counted as killing the country!"

Zhang Yan smiled wryly and shook her head, "You are a fledgling kid, you think things too simply."

Zhang Hu reasoned and said: "Father, we still have a hundred thousand troops in our hands, and we have father's bravery, why can't we fight him?"

Zhang Yan smiled wryly and remained silent, and his son couldn't explain these things clearly.
