Three Kingdoms: Plundering Entries, From Merchants to Emperors

After hearing this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but clasp his fists and say, "General Pan is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, he is a true hero! How lucky the Han family is to have a general!"

Zhang Chen's words were not a compliment. Although Pan Feng's martial arts were not outstanding, he was so wise and loyal to his master, which was his precious quality.

At that moment, Zhang Chen readily agreed. Seeing that he had been running all the way, he ordered someone to take him down to rest first.

After Pan Feng left, Ju Su said solemnly, "My lord, as General Pan said, this matter must be prevented. I will send someone to find out the origin of this army."

"No need." Zhang Chen sighed and said, "It's the Black Mountain Army!"

"What! The Black Mountain Army!" Ju Su's face changed drastically when he heard this.

Although the Black Mountain Army has only appeared for a short time, it has the potential to spread like wildfire, and it has become more and more serious in Jizhou and Dongjun!

Seeing Ju Su's look, Gao Shun snorted coldly and said, "What's there to fear about a mob? I'll take Yu Du's head and show it to the three armies, which will surely scare the enemy!"

Ju Su shook his head and said, "General Gao is brave, but the Black Mountain Army must not be underestimated. My lord, the most urgent thing is to write a letter to the governor, explain the situation, and ask the governor to send reinforcements as soon as possible."

"Well." Zhang Chen pondered for a moment and nodded, "You are right. The enemy is strong. We only have 700 people and we can't stand alone. I will write a letter and send someone to deliver it to Yecheng immediately!"

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he wrote a letter and ordered the messenger to send it out quickly, presenting it to the governor Li Wen, asking him to send troops to help.

The messenger took the order and left, and Zhang Chen ordered someone to get the map and check it carefully.

Before Pan Feng came, Yu Du's army had already reached Cheng'an. Cheng'an is less than a hundred miles away from here. Zhang Chen estimated that the enemy army would arrive within three days!

It is more than 150 miles from here to Yecheng. Although a fast horse can reach it in one day, it will take at least three or four days to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, including the mobilization of the army.

It seems that they can't wait for the troops in the county to arrive.

Ju Su looked at the map, frowned slightly, stroked his beard and said: "Sir, the fastest troops in the county will arrive in five days, and we have to hold on for at least three days!"

Seven hundred against ten thousand, how to hold on for three days? How to fight this battle?

Zhang Chen couldn't help but ponder.

Guangping finally has the current atmosphere, and it is time for him to show his strength. There must be no mistakes at this critical moment!

Although Yu Du is also a person who has left a name in history, he is at best a third-rate general. If he fights alone, he is definitely not the opponent of Gao Shun and Pan Feng.

But there are many former Yellow Turbans in the Black Mountain Army, all of whom have been on the battlefield and seen blood, and are definitely not comparable to the four bandits. In addition, the number of enemies is much different. If the enemy attacks, it will be difficult to resist with only 700 trap camps.

It seems that we can't just sit and wait for death, we have to take the initiative to attack!

Zhang Chen was thinking while carefully observing the map.

After a long time, he saw a place on the map, and his eyes lit up.

"Sir, where is this place?"

Ju Su looked at the place Zhang Chen pointed to, and couldn't help but smile knowingly and said, "My lord, this place is called 'Black Cloud Valley', located on a branch of the northern foot of the Black Mountain. There are high mountains on both sides, and only the canyon in the middle is passable, which is an excellent place to set up an ambush!"

"Great!" Zhang Chen slapped the table and said, "Yu Du secretly marched in, and he never expected that we would know the news in advance, so he must be completely unprepared. Let's set up an ambush here and kill him by surprise!"

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he urgently ordered, "Gao Shun, select 500 soldiers to set up an ambush, prepare more rolling logs and rocks, and ambush on the hillsides on both sides of the 'Black Cloud Valley'. When Yu Du's army has marched more than halfway, use rolling logs and rocks to attack it, disrupt its formation, and cut it in half!"

"I obey your order!"

Gao Shun received the military order and was about to go down to prepare, but was stopped by Ju Su.

Ju Su frowned and said, "My lord, this plan is good, but we only have 700 soldiers. If we divide another 500 soldiers to set up an ambush, who will guard the county?"

"Haha, who said we only have 700 people?" Zhang Chen smiled slightly, "We... don't we still have one troop?"

Another troop?

Gao Shun and Ju Su looked at each other, both showing doubtful expressions.

After a moment, Gao Shun seemed to understand, and said, "My lord, are you talking about Qu Yi?"

Zhang Chen smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, it is Qu Yi. He has collected a lot of food and grass from me, shouldn't he also contribute a bit? With the Xianzhen Camp and 800 first-come soldiers to help, there is no need to worry about the enemy not being destroyed!"

"But what if Qu Yi doesn't obey orders?" Gao Shun raised his own question.

In his opinion, Qu Yi has not yet returned to his heart, and if he rashly gives him orders, he may not obey orders.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's impossible. Qu Yi is a man of integrity. I have done him a favor. If I write to him and invite him, he will definitely not refuse. Otherwise,It would be ungrateful. Moreover, he is just waiting for me to ask him for something so that he can thank me for the gift of grain. "

"Since the lord knows this, why does he still ask for help from Qu Yi?" Gao Shun said puzzledly, "Didn't the lord give grain deliberately because he wanted to subdue him? Now this favor is so easily used up?"

As soon as Gao Shun finished speaking, Zhang Chen and Ju Su looked at each other and laughed.

Zhang Chen patted Gao Shun on the shoulder and said, "Father, you are not good at employing people. Giving blindly is not the way to win people's hearts? Over time, the other party will only think that this is a matter of course. This is just like when I gave alms to those beggars, and suddenly one day I didn't give alms, and they beat me with sticks!" Gao Shun listened and agreed deeply in his heart.

Zhang Chen then said, "On the contrary, giving and asking are mutually beneficial, and this is a long-term plan. Imagine if I ask him to send troops to help me, and then raise a large reward. He will repay my kindness, and he will feel more at ease when accepting the thank-you gift. "

Ju Su also laughed and said, "In this way, as time goes by, the bond will definitely deepen. This human relationship will naturally be established."

As Ju Su said this, he couldn't help but secretly sigh at Zhang Chen's skill in controlling people's hearts.

"Hey, the twists and turns here are very troublesome!" Gao Shun shook his head and said, "My lord, just tell me, what should I do?"

Zhang Chen smiled, and immediately wrote a letter.

Zhang Chen sealed the letter and handed it to Gao Shun, saying, "Immediately send this letter to Qujiazhuang by express horse and present it to Qu Yi. Ask him to lead his troops to come and fight against the Black Mountain bandits with me to save the people in the city from the water and fire!"

"Yes. "

Gao Shun responded and was about to leave, but Zhang Chen suddenly stopped him and said.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Tell the brothers who are watching outside the inn to return to the camp and stop watching. Also, send a few people to capture Han Xuan and his men and throw them into jail!"

Hmph! Han Xuan, I wanted to let you go, but you chose to die. You can't blame me for this!
