Chapter 24 Lao Cao's Black Mountain Army is Just Gone

Cao Cao stood under the city wall, looked at the black mountain army, and asked suspiciously:
"I remember that Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army fought against Ziyou in Gaotang? Why did he come to Yanzhou?"

Xiahou Dun shook his head and said helplessly:

"It's probably because Ziyou defeated him, and he has hatred in his heart, so let's harass Yanzhou."

"Hey, the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou has just been dealt with, and the Black Mountain Army is here again. What a bad time!"

After the Black Mountain Army stopped, Zhang Yan rode alone and ran outside the city.

Shouted to the people above:

"Zhang Yan was ordered by Mr. Ziyou to come to Yanzhou to recuperate! Open the door quickly, I have a letter from Mr. Ziyou!"

The city wall is very high, and Zhang Yan's words have not been passed on.

Cao Cao asked the soldiers on the left and right,

"Do you hear what the thief chief is saying?"

"I don't know. My lord, I guess it's the afternoon of the war?"

"Hmph! This thief leader is so rampant! If I don't kill Zhang Yan today, I, Cao Mengde, will not be a human being!"

Cao Cao was furious, and came to fight Yanzhou when he couldn't beat Cao Ziyou. Doesn't this mean that he is not as good as his son as a father?
Zhang Yan yelled for a long time, but found no one answered, and was also stunned.

No, what about the people in Yanzhou?
Soon, the gates of the city were opened wide, and Cao Cao led his army out.

"Hey, Zhang Yan's thief, see if I don't chop off your brain today..."

"Is this Yanzhou Shepherd here? This is a letter from Mr. Ziyou, let me..."

"Huh???" ×2
Feeling that something was wrong, the two silently took a step back.

There was silence outside the city.

Xi Zhicai shook his head, and rode out of the queue on his horse.

Xiahou Dun was afraid that the army division would be in danger, so he hurriedly followed.

"I'm a talent from Yanzhou. I don't know why the Black Mountain Army is here?"

"My next Zhang Yan, under the order of Mr. Ziyou, came to Yanzhou to accept the rectification."

Zhang Yan presented Cao Ziyou's letter with both hands, and Xi Zhicai handed it to Cao Cao with a suppressed smile after reading it.

Cao Cao's face turned from black to red and then to white. He slapped his thigh for the last time and ran out on horseback.

"Hahahaha, I have heard the name of General Zhang Yan for a long time, today I have General Zhang Yan, like a fish in water!"

Xiahou Dun: ? ? ?

Cao Jun:? ? ?
Didn't you just say you won't kill Zhang Yan and swear you won't be a human being?

Why did it change again?
Cao Cao held Zhang Yan's hand eagerly, and asked happily:

"General Zhang Yan, how many people are there in our Black Mountain Army?"

"There are a total of 80 people. If the rectification is carried out according to the order of Mr. Ziyou, there will be at least 20 people who can fight!"

"20 is good, 20 is good!"

Cao Cao's back molars were almost exposed.

20 soldiers, 60 farmers.

Whoever puts it on is a lot of wealth!
Soldiers represent combat power, and farmers represent productivity.

What a blessing for Yanzhou!
As for being a person, sorry, I, Cao Cao, am not a person today!
Cao Cao personally took Zhang Yan's hand and welcomed him in.

After ordering Xiahou Dun to settle down the Black Mountain Army, the excited Cao Cao found Xi Zhicai.

"Zhicai, Ziyou sent me 80 people! And did you know? He didn't take the Black Mountain Army as his own this time!"

Xi Zhicai asked with a smile:
"These 80 people were almost beheaded by Mr. Cao."

Cao Cao was embarrassed, why Xi Zhicai also started to hate himself.

"Ahem, Zhicai, that's not the point. The point is that Ziyou has me in his heart! You must know that the 30 army has been controlled by Ziyou, and I have been distressed for a long time! Today I got the Black Mountain Army. There are 20 troops. These 20 troops are all from my old Cao!"

"My lord, what if Mr. Ziyou also wants this 20 army?"

Cao Cao waved his hands proudly and said:

"Impossible! I still don't understand my son? If Ziyou wants to control the 20 army, he will definitely send a general to lead it. You have also seen it. Zhang Yan brought people here this time, and Dian Wei Ah, Xu Chu, and so on, they didn’t come! Huh, Ziyou has grown up, Ziyou has really grown up.”

As Cao Cao spoke, tears filled his eyes, as if his ugly daughter-in-law had finally come to her senses.

Xi Zhicai also nodded in agreement, Lao Cao is indeed not easy.

Every day he was played by Cao Ziyou in the palm of his hand, and now finally Mr. Ziyou has grown up and knows how to repay his father.

Just when the two were deeply moved, Xiahou Dun hurried in.

"Yuan Rang, has the Black Mountain Army been settled so quickly?"

Xiahou Dun shook his head, leaned in front of Cao Cao and whispered:

"My lord, there are Zhang Xi's family members in this batch of Black Mountain Army!"

"Zhang He? Who is Zhang He?"

Cao Cao didn't react for a while.

"Zhang He, whose name is Junyi, is one of Yuan Shao's four court pillars. I heard that this time he followed Yuan Shao to defeat Gongsun Zan and was named the general of Ningguo Zhonglang!"

After listening to Xiahou Dun's explanation, Cao Cao was stunned.

"No, Zhang He belongs to Yuan Shao, why are his family members in the Black Mountain Army?"

Xi Zhicai closed his eyes slightly, and quickly speculated in his mind.

In his opinion, there must be a terrifying conspiracy in it!
Xiahou Dun shook his head and replied:

"I asked, and they said it was Ziyou's order. But Ziyou has no grievances with Zhang Yun, why did he do this?"

"That's right. My Ziyou is smart and considerate. He is the Qilin son of the Cao family. How could he do such a thing? Someone must be slandering Ziyou. Check it out for me!"

Cao Cao was furious. In his heart, Cao Ziyou had become an angel at this time.

How could he tolerate someone pouring dirty water on Cao Ziyou?
Only five days later, Cao Cao knew the answer.

When he saw Zhang He, one of Yuan Shao's four courtyard pillars, approaching him, Cao Cao once thought he was Yuan Shao's messenger.

"Mr. Cao, under the order of Mr. Ziyou, come to take over the Black Mountain Army."

"Hmm, what did you say earlier?"

"Mr. Cao? I am following the orders of Mr. Ziyou!"

"Okay, Yuan Ziyou, ah, bah!"

Cao Cao scratched his head, feeling that he had recently suffered from a headache.

Fortunately, Xi Zhicai was by his side, so he hurriedly asked:
"General Zhang He, when did you join Ziyou?"

"My lord, in fact, I don't know about this matter. I guess it was the moment Zhang Yan took my family away, and he took refuge with Mr. Ziyou!"

Zhang He was very sad, he was doing well with Yuan Shao, but Cao Ziyou made fun of him, so he could only come to Yanzhou.

Cao Cao has also supplemented Zhang He's information in the past few days, knowing that he is a capable person.

So he quickly adjusted his state, and skillfully wooed him and said:

"Don't worry, General Zhang, what you have at Benchu, I also have here. I have General Zhang, just like a fish touching water!"

Xi Zhicai and the other generals lowered their heads.

Good guy, the lord knows this sentence when he sees people, right?

Zhang He was also very clear about affairs, and said respectfully:
"Cao Gong, don't worry, I will take over the Black Mountain Army and improve the combat effectiveness of the army as soon as possible!"

"Well, wait, you took over the Black Mountain Army?"

"That's right, Mr. Ziyou ordered me to be the commander of the Black Mountain Army."

Cao Cao was dumbfounded. Wasn't this Black Mountain Army given to him by his son?Why is there another leader?

My old Cao really doesn't deserve to be touched?
