Outside Linjin Town, a team of cavalry patrolled outside in the wind and snow. The north wind was howling, and the cavalry couldn't help but shivered and wrapped their coats tightly.

"This cold winter seems to be even colder than last year."

"I hope there will be no more conquests in the cold winter, otherwise my fingers will be frozen."

"It seems like there is someone there?"

"You've read it wrong. How could someone wander outside at this time?"

"Let's go over and take a look."

The cavalry team explored forward and found a staggering middle-aged general.

This man was wearing a fine armor that was qualified to wear, but this armor was covered with cracks and blood. His wounds were frostbite due to the cold winter. His sword rolled up. It seemed that he had experienced a tragic battle not long ago.

"Who are you?"

"Take him back to the town!"

Seeing that the other party was a military general, the cavalry team took him back to Linjin Town to seek credit.

They could capture a general alive by patrolling and then improve their military titles. They couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Feng Yi was sent by Zhang Hua to manage Linjin Town. He heard that the cavalry under his command captured a general alive, so he immediately recruited the man.

"I am Liu Jiye, where is this place?"

Liu Jiye was chased by An Lushan's cavalry and was lost in a blizzard, but survived by chance.

"Linjin Town, originally the territory of the Huns and Han Kingdom. I am the captain Feng Yi."

"Feng Yi..."

Liu Jiye was surprised to hear that the other party was Feng Yi, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai.

Liu Jiye was a military general from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, so he naturally knew the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai.

For Liu Jiye, Feng Yi was also considered a famous general of ancient times.

Liu Jiye also knew that he had gone into exile to Zhang Hua's territory.

Feng Yi didn't know that An Lushan's power had a huge change, so he looked at Liu Jiye: "You are a general under Liu Chong's command, why did you come here alone?"

Liu Jiye sighed: "It's a long story."

In Dazhong Town, Zhang Hua was shocked to obtain information sent back from the detailed works of the An Lushan forces.

An Lushan is too cruel.

When dozens of leaders of Hu tribes were holding a banquet to entertain them in An Lushan, An Lushan hid his sword in his smile, and cut them all directly, then annexed their tribes, becoming the most powerful force in Qinchuan, the eight hundred miles in one fell swoop.

There is no simple guy in these heroes. An Lushan replaced Emperor Xuanzong of Tang as the overlord by various means.

An Lushan integrated dozens of Hu tribes with more than 200,000 troops. Moreover, An Lushan was originally the governor of the three towns of the Tang Dynasty. His direct army was built according to the specifications of the Tang army. His strength was similar to that of the ordinary Tang army, and there were also a large number of Hu soldiers who helped him.

The situation of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was a little bad, and the population dropped from two million to one million.

An Lushan's territory has a population of more than 2 million, of which more than 1 million are Hu people.

"Lord, Feng Yi, who is guarding Linjin Town, came to report that Liu Chong's general Liu Jiye appeared in Linjin Town."

"Liu Jiye is still alive?"

After learning that An Lushan set up a Hongmen Banquet and killed many Hu tribe leaders, Zhang Hua thought that Liu Chong and Liu Jiye were all killed. Unexpectedly, Liu Jiye could survive the Hongmen Banquet in An Lushan and escape to Linjin Town.

"Correspond to see me."

Zhang Hua had long heard of Liu Jiye’s great name.

Liu Jiye's real name was Yang Chonggui, and later Liu Chong gave him the name Liu Jiye.

Liu Jiye was also the first generation leader of the Yang family general, Yang Ye.

Liu Jiye was very loyal. Liu Chong died at the Hongmen Banquet in An Lushan, so this was the best time to recruit Liu Jiye.

Moreover, Zhang Hua had intended to plot against An Lushan's territory, and Liu Jiye wanted to take revenge, so he needed Zhang Hua's troops.

"Li Longji and An Lushan couldn't decide the winner for a while. Before they destroyed each other, they had no time to divide their troops to attack my territory."

"Secretly assembled 10,000 elite cavalry to prepare to return to Heluo and attack Chen Sheng."

"Among Fan Zhongyan, from the 150,000 refugees who had been exiled from Rushui to Heluo, he selected young and strong people and trained 10,000 soldiers to cooperate with my actions."

While attracting Liu Jiye, Zhang Hua began to attack Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's peasant uprising army.

According to the latest information from Wang Feng, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's peasant uprising troops fought in the Rushui River Basin for several months, from summer to autumn.

In winter, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who were unable to farm on a large scale during summer and autumn, lacked food.

This was the time when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's peasant uprising army was most vulnerable.

Therefore, Zhang Hua secretly gathered troops and prepared to attack Chen Sheng's forces in the Rushui area.

Feng Yi received the order from Zhang Hua to personally escort Liu Jiye to meet Zhang Hua.

As a powerful general, Liu Jiye has strong vitality and his injuries have recovered most of his injuries.

Zhang Hua asked a banquet to invite Liu Jiye to welcome him.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Zhang Hua began to inquire about Liu Jiye’s tone: “An Lushan killed Liu Chong, where should you go next?”

Liu Jiye replied: "At this point, I can only try to avenge my master. Maybe I will go to join the Tang army."

Chen Gong, who was present, said: "The Tang army and An Lushan are just evenly matched. If the general wants to take revenge, why not serve the wise master in front of him? The only one who has the ability to break the deadlock is our lord."

Liu Jiye was silent.

Chen Gong did not cheat him, because Zhang Hua did have the ability to change the situation.

In addition to having a territory in Guanzhong, Zhang Hua also has a large territory in Heluo.

The two territories combined together, Zhang Hua is also a large lord with a population of one million.

"You really intend to attack An Lushan?"

"If a general joins, it will be only a matter of time before he defeats An Lushan."

"Since that's the case, I can play. But if I can't defeat An Lushan, I'm afraid I'll find another way."

Liu Jiye still chose to stay, but the potential requirement was to defeat An Lushan and avenge Liu Chong, who was killed by An Lushan.

Regarding the short-seller promise, Zhang Hua naturally promised that whether he could defeat An Lushan in the future would be the future.

What's more, An Lushan was originally in Zhang Hua's strategy plan.

"Since Liu Chong is dead, it is probably fate. In the future, if you restore the surname Yang, just one name, Ye, it will be called Yang Ye."

Zhang Hua learned from Liu Chong and gave Liu Jiye a name.

The name Liu Jiye was still too unfamiliar after all, so Zhang Hua asked Liu Jiye to change his name to Yang Ye and rebuild the Yang family army.

"Yang Ye..."

Liu Jiye agreed to start a new life.

In this way, the Yang family and the Zhong family of the Northern Song Dynasty all had military generals in Zhang Hua's power.

"When your injury completely improves, follow me to Heluo."

Zhang Hua recruited Yang Ye and asked Yang Ye to go out to fight against Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to allow Yang Ye to integrate into his power as soon as possible.

After Yang Ye settled in Dazhong Town, Zhang Hua went to check Yang Ye's heroic attributes specifically.

...

"Yang Ye's military power is extremely high, but he cannot defeat An Lushan quickly. An Lushan's military power is probably not low."

Zhang Hua heard about the battle between Yang Ye and An Lushan and found that An Lushan had been hiding his weaknesses, and he was also a powerful general himself.

An Lushan also had a group of hawks and dogs, as well as generals from various Hu tribes.
