Just when Yan Gang led Baima Yi to take a detour from the remnants to support Gongsun Zan, the situation in Quyang where Guo Jia and Han Ren were stationed was unexpectedly good.

In fact, not long after Pan Feng left, Guo Jia and the others defeated the Black Mountain Army in Quyang.

This time, the Black Mountain Army invaded Zhongshan Kingdom two main groups, one led by Sun Qing, with a total of more than 40,000 people, and the other group led by Wang Dang, with a total of more than 30,000 people.

After invading Zhongshan Kingdom, the two divided troops into two groups. One was led by Sun Qing to move forward towards Quyang, and the other was led by Wang Dang to move forward towards Tang County.

After entering Zhongshan, the two men received almost no decent resistance. Of course, because of the call issued by Zhang Yan, the two of them also had many restraints, and the killing and looting were not caused too much.

Sun Qingwang and Wang Dang led the more than 70,000 Black Mountain troops to invade. Judging from the 5,000 troops taken away by Han Ren, he could only defend one city at most. Quyang's geographical location was more important than Tang County, so Han Ren finally chose to defend Quyang.

The Jizhou Army who had just arrived in Quyang and the Black Mountain Army led by Sun Qing inevitably had a conflict. This conflict was long before Guo Jia expected and was fully prepared.

After arriving in Quyang, Guo Jia used all the conditions that could be used, including Han Ren, the second young master.

Han Ren and any defender in Qu Yang are different, because Han Ren is Han Fu's second son and a vivid representative of the power of the highest level of Jizhou!

Guo Jia understands this, Qu Yang's defenders understand this, and those Black Mountain generals understand this better!

In any era, power and status can represent many things, including promises!

Guo Jia knew very well that it was already a limit to be able to defend Qu Yang with the five thousand soldiers in his hand. It was somewhat unrealistic to defeat the Black Mountain Army and even drive the Black Mountain Army out of Zhongshan Kingdom.

It is true that the Black Mountain Army is a mob, but the hungry mob is no more docile than the green-eyed wild wolf.

Of course, it would be the best if we could stabilize the Black Mountain Army without using our weapons. Recently, it was reported that Gongsun Zan had divided his troops to attack the rear. If he rashly fought with the Black Mountain Army, the only one who would be the cheapest in the end!

But the Black Mountain Army obviously would not care about these things, or if King Sun Qing was like this, he would not care about the final situation. They only needed to get some food for their subordinate Black Mountain Army. As for what kind of results Gongsun Zan achieved when he sneaked into the rear, this did not mean anything to the Black Mountain Army.

Because they will eventually retreat into the mountains!

Because of this, the 40,000 Black Mountain Army led by Sun Qing simply repaired it and launched an attack after coming to Quyang.

Guo Jia had heard of the strange way of siege by those Yellow Turban thieves before, but he didn't expect to witness it with his own eyes at the Black Mountain Army today.

Tens of thousands of Black Mountain troops surrounded Quyang and attacked from three sides, leaving no attacks in the south, which was normal.

But those attacking troops were not in line up, and they carried shoddy ladders and uneven shields and dared to swarm under Quyang City. Some people even had only one wooden stick in their hands, and even more powerful it was just a broken knife.

In Guo Jia's opinion, this is not a siege, it is clearly a death sentence!

The fact is as Guo Jia thought. Although the Black Mountain Army rushed forward and seemed to be numerous, almost no one rushed to the city wall under the defense of defenders from all sides, and even if there were any, they were quickly driven down.

After seeing the attack of the Black Mountain Army, Guo Jia was confident that he would defend Quyang with the five thousand soldiers in his hand and even go further!

As the saying goes, practice is the best way to test the truth. Guo Jia has many ways to solve the Black Mountain Army outside the city. However, if he wants to solve the Black Mountain Army outside the city and then has the spare time to solve the Black Mountain Army in Tang County, he has to borrow some external forces.

Han Ren and Zhen Yan are the two main external forces that Guo Jia is preparing to borrow.

Zhen Yan is the only male member of the Zhen family generation, and it is also the full hope of the Zhen family. If Han Ren had not come to Quyang this time, Zhen Yan would never have taken such a risk to Quyang.

Guo Jia's motivation for calling the two of them was very clear, which was to ask Han Ren and Zhen Yan to recruit some temporary defenders in the city according to the method they had agreed in advance.

With Han Ren's status and the money given by Zhen Yan, Guo Jia believes that there are a lot of people in Quyang City who will actively participate.

Sure enough, when Han Ren revealed his identity and said that the people who participated in defending the city would be given five thousand yuan if they died, if they died in battle, they would get one gold pension, and the young and strong people in Quyang City were in a rage.

One gold can be exchanged for ten thousand yuan in the official position!

As the price of gold continues to remain chaotic today, when the value of copper coins is rapidly depreciating, the price of gold remains unchanged, so one gold can be exchanged for 16,000 to 17,000 yuan in the private sector.

Although the grain in Jizhou has increased to 500 yuan per stone, one gold can still buy more than 32 stones of grain. This grain is enough for a whole family to live a good life of fullness.

Compared to this, what is death?

Even if you don’t die, you can get five thousand yuan, which is enough to buy ten stones of food. Isn’t this a fortune?

As they thought about it, the young and strong found that they had arrived at the recruitment site in the city without knowing it.

Since you have come, please sign up by the way.

So, when the Black Mountain Army came to attack Quyang for the second time, they were surprised to find that the defenders on the city wall became denser, and many people were not afraid of life and death. Several Black Mountain Army who rushed up the city wall were hit by the people wearing shabby clothes.

On this day, the Black Mountain Army suffered huge losses, but rarely climbed the city walls.

Seeing that the effect was so excellent, Han Ren promised a lot of pensions. After cleaning the battlefield in the evening, he distributed the pensions for the deaths on the same day based on the pre-registered roster.

People in Quyang City have never heard of such powerful pensions, and many people immediately wanted to join the ranks of defending the city.

So when the Black Mountain Army attacked for the third time, their casualties became even greater.

It was also after this that Sun Qing's music department had no morale, and he himself wanted to retreat.

Just when Sun Qing was about to leave, Zhang Yan's secret letter was delivered to his camp.

Sun Qing thought Zhang Yan wanted him to continue to advance to seize more cities while Jizhou was attacked by the enemy from the back.

However, after seeing Zhang Yan's handwritten letter, Sun Qing realized that Zhang Yan had no intention of letting him advance, but instead asked him to slowly return the occupied city to the Jizhou army.

Even at the end of the letter, Zhang Yan clearly stated that if the situation permits, the Black Mountain Army would be better able to help encircle Gongsun Zan.

This operation is true and makes Sun Qing unable to understand it.

Although Gongsun Zan did not form an alliance with the Heishan Army, the enemy on the surface was all the Jizhou Army. As the saying goes, the enemy is a friend. Now, regardless of the enemy of Jizhou Army, he has to help the enemy encircle Gongsun Zan, his friend!

Why is this?

Sun Qing didn't understand why, even Wang Dang, who was far away in Tang County, was confused after receiving Zhang Yan's letter.

However, Wang Dang is more decisive than Sun Qing. After all, he has never had any conflicts with Han Ren and his party, so after receiving Zhang Yan's secret letter, he decisively contacted Han Ren and his party in Qu Yang.

Just so happened that Han Ren and the others also received news that Pan Feng's five thousand cavalry had escaped from Yan Gang's restraint and had already surrounded Gongsun Zan.

These two news came one after another, which made Han Ren and his party very happy.
