At the end of the third year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao appointed general Qu Yi as the vanguard of the front, and met with Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yuyin, Wuhuan Qiaowang and other troops. He won Han soldiers and tens of thousands of Hu soldiers. He defeated Gongsun Zan and Baoqiu, and later besieged him to Yijing. Gongsun Zan sent his son Gongsun Xu to ask for help from the Heishan Army, and agreed to raise fire as a call, and cooperate with the inside and outside, attack inside and outside. However, Yuan Shao saw it through, he used the trick, dug the tunnel down the city tower, and destroyed his watch tower. Gongsun Zan was desperate and had to kill his wife and children first, and then cause fire.

After Gongsun Zan's death, Zhang Yan, the leader of the Heishan army, no longer relied on the northern border. He was afraid that Yuan Shao would take revenge. He then took the plan of breaking the whole into pieces and divided the tens of thousands of Heishan army under his command into several parts, scattered and lurking in the mountains of Taihang. There were scattered small groups in each state and county, disappearing, finding the opportunity to make a comeback, and fighting with Yuan Shao again.

Zhang Yan himself, along with other confidant soldiers, Qu Shuai, such as Sun Qing, Wang Dang, Zuo Xia, Guo Daxian, etc., led the most elite 20,000 soldiers, entrenched between the mountains and ridges around Zhongshan County and Changshan County. Han Guang was in a low position and avoided Yuan Shao's killing.

Because he did not want to compete with the main force of the Yuan army, he was even more afraid of offending Yuan Shao. Zhang Yan ordered the main force of the Heishan Army not to easily plunder the prefectures and counties. Therefore, his military food and fodder gradually became less and the green and yellow were not in contact. The soldiers all had tightened their belts and lived a hard life. They lived a hard life and their mouths were about to fade out of their birds.

Seeing that his men were pale and thin, their morale was sluggish, and they were hungry like gangsters, Zhang Yan, who was the leader of the Black Mountain bandit, felt unbearable, so he began to think about the wrong ways.

His eyes wandered around and finally focused on the wealthy Zhongshan Zhen family.

Zhang Yan first came to the Zhen family, but even threatened and intimidated, intending to use violence to kill the Zhen family's bear.

Unexpectedly, after being threatened by the Black Mountain bandits, the Zhen family did not take them seriously, and did not rush them, and did not urinate much.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan was furious and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to hijack the Zhen family and transport them to Bingzhou within a month. Within five consecutive times, the Zhen family did not even make any money in this month.

The Zhen family was completely panicked at this moment.

If he wanted to send someone to the county government to rescue him, Zhang Yan's strength was almost as strong as that of a prince, and there were several generals under his command, which were not comparable. How could ordinary local county magistrates be his opponent?

I wanted to use the old relationship to seek help from Yuan Shao in Yecheng, but it happened that Yuan Shao was trying all the troops from the four states to go south to compete with Cao Cao, so how could he have time to take care of them?

Under all kinds of helplessness, the Zhen family had to give in vain and reluctantly helped Zhang Yan. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan tasted the sweetness and pestered them.

He asked for money and silk for three days and military rations for five days. The Heishan Army's face was not under Yuan Shang. If he was inappropriate, he would rob the goods and cut off his wealth. He was pitiful to the rich family of the Zhen family, who called the wind and rain in Wuji County and stomped his feet and trembled on the ground. He was helpless in the face of the Heishan bandits. He was like a third grandson. Once the other person reached out, he had to give money.

Time is long, and it stretches out one by one, and it stretches out one by one. But it has been so hard that it has been.

After listening to the narrative between Zhen Yan and Zhang, Yuan Shang and Pang Ji couldn't help but remain silent.

They were willing to bloom and planted willows in rows. They were originally for the money of Xiong Zhen’s family, but they actually let others take the lead and seized the opportunity. Zhang Yan had already cheated the Zhen family and kicked them aside and went to cool down. It was really annoying.

A thief is a thief. He can even extort money so badly, and his quality is too low.

Turning his head to look at Pang Ji, Yuan Shang sighed helplessly and said resentfully: "Yuantu."

"Young Master?"

"Do you think Zhang Yan's slut in a strait is a robbery of us?"

Zhang Ji thought about it carefully for a while and said, "Young Master, it seems that we are the ones who are in trouble."

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Yuan Shang sighed a long sigh and said to Zhen Yan: "Where can you sleep soundly on the side of the bed? The flying swallow thieves are so rampant, it is not just a simple trick to cheat your Zhen family, but also a loud slap in the county. For morality, I should help you."

Zhen Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuan Shangyan in disbelief and said, "Mr. County Master, do you think this is true?"

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Our county is naturally a matter of purpose, but you secretly colluded with the Black Mountain bandits. Although it was forced to helpless, it was a violation of the law and caused a big disaster. If you don't punish it, you will be unable to convince the public. Alas, you are in a dilemma."

Zhen Yan shrank his neck in shock when he heard this, and began to feel uneasy again. After he hesitating for a long time, he slowly spoke: "I don't know the county master, how do you want to punish me?"

Yuan Shang couldn't help but curse in his heart, he was such a elm-headed person. I just pointed out this, but I still don't understand. He is really a typical rich family who has never suffered any frustration. If you are so explicit, how can you say such a person with such a status?

At this moment, I suddenly heard a sound of a light move of lotus steps outside the hall, but I saw Zhen Mi changing outfit and slowly walking into the hall. Her hair was still a little wet, her face was pale, and her delicate lips were trembling slightly, and she was obviously still a little chill all over.

"Minister Zhen Mi, I have seen the county magistrate." As soon as he leaned over, Zhen Mi's etiquette arrived and showed her extremely high-level tutoring. She was completely different from her who had just been in the Bingtan.

Yuan Shang smiled at Zhen Mi with great embarrassment and asked guiltily: "Miss Zhen is nothing wrong? Is that just now not intentional, accident! Is it just a surprise? Is it just a surprise? Is it just a surprise?"

When Zheng Ji heard this, he immediately wiped his sweat.

Zhen Mi smiled and shook her head, and said softly: "There is no big deal for the people. Please be relieved. Just before the people entered the hall, I heard that the adults had made a statement to punish the Zhen family. I had a suggestion in my heart. Perhaps it would be beneficial to the adults and the Zhen family. I wonder if I would like to hear it?"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by miss? You're welcome, let's try it?"

"The Zhen family secretly sponsored Zhang Yan of Heishan, which is indeed a serious crime. Today, I suddenly realized that I would like to use the three crimes to seek forgiveness from the Lord. One move is to pay ten thousand gold to the county, rectify the county affairs, and assist the adults in the benefit of one country. The two moves are to use the financial resources and connections of the entire Zhen family to assist the adults in the future, and to help the adults to conquer the world and establish themselves in troubled times. The family is also destroyed. The three moves are a good plan in the hearts of the people. As long as the adults can produce a few soldiers, they can capture Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain bandit, and conquer the universe. I wonder what the Lord wants?"

Yuan Shang's heart suddenly jumped and he sighed inwardly: "What a smart woman!"

It seems to be a magnificent sound to the county, but it is actually no different from giving to Yuan Shang himself. To put it bluntly, it is a tactful bribe. The two of them devoted the Zhen family to fully fund Yuan Shang. What they said is more subtle! It is not to fund Yuan, nor to fund Yuan Shao, nor to fund your eldest brother and second brother, but to fund you by name! Tie the Zhen family to your Yuan Shang's ship.

What does this mean? The meaning of the meaning is very intriguing. Of course, you can also use this excuse today to confiscate the Zhen Mansion and destroy the clan. However, if the Zhen family is destroyed, the Zhen family's financial resources are not you, but you Yuan. You need to consider the pros and cons of this.

The third move in the final, designed to capture the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan alive, and gave another big candy, but the woman refused to take apart the candy paper and hanged it with you to agree to her first two requests before she could clearly say it.

It’s nothing to be beautiful, but it’s outstanding in wisdom and speaking so well-educated and skilled, which is a bit out of heaven.

Yuan Shang stared at Zhen Mi quietly, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly gave her a look. However, the eyes were Zheng Ji sitting next to Yuan Shang.

Zhen Mi knew it, smiled sweetly, turned to Zheng Ji and said, "The county magistrate works hard for the people, and we are very respectful. If we are willing to take some support, the Zhen family will be moved in the future to seek repaid."

Pang Ji was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shook his head: "Ms. Zhen is so serious. He De, so he must not be ashamed of being ashamed."

Such a sentence has a deep meaning and a strong sense of flattery. It is obvious that he will not treat Jiang Ji badly, but it blocked this guy's mouth again.

Yuan Shang turned to look at Zheng Ji and smiled and said, "Yuantu, Miss Zhen's words are quite pertinent. In your opinion, what should we do?"

"Love is pity, love is pity! My lord, since the Zhen family has already regretted it, we should not be too forced. I think Miss Zhen's words are appropriate, so we might as well follow it. Let's listen to her plan to capture Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain bandit alive, and make a conclusion."

"Okay, just follow what Yuantu said."

Yuan Shang pulled Zheng Ji down without leaving any traces, and turned around randomly and asked Zhen Mi: "Miss Zhen, this county can agree to your proposal, but you have to tell me first, how can you capture the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan alive?"

Zhen Mi smiled softly and said, "Sir, although Zhang Yan's army has many soldiers, they are scattered in the mountains and forests of Taihang and the four prefectures and counties. Although he is a little brave, it is not difficult to catch them. You might as well send out the news secretly, saying that you will come forward in person to contact the Zhen family Youyou, and have purchased a batch of large amounts of grain, fodder and armor in various places, including many good horses. Now it is planned and will be transported to Yecheng. Now Zhang Yan's army is incomplete in food, fodder and supplies, and he will be moved when he hears this. He has a special status, so it is not difficult to borrow some soldiers and bravery. Then, it is not impossible to arrange it on the road, set up a trap, and capture Zhang Yan alive."
