Looking at the county government close at hand, Zhang Niujiao laughed and said, "Everyone, hurry up and break the bird gate. As long as Yuan Xi dies, even if he has tens of thousands of troops in Yuan's army, it will be useless!"

When Chu Yan and others broke through the gate of the county government, they saw a mess inside, and there was no trace of Yuan Jun.

Zhang Niujiao wondered, "It's strange, where is Yuan Xi?"

This matter has to start several hours ago.

At that time, Yuan Xigang led a large army to Handan. Zhao Ying, the head of the Zhao family, held a grand welcome dinner for Yuan Xi. After all, Yuan Xi is still the nominal lord of Jizhou. Zhao Ying, as the magistrate of Handan County, was a vicious speculator. Then he would naturally curry favor with Yuan Xi and try to let Yuan Xi give him a high official so that the descendant of the Zhao monarch can regain the glory of his ancestors' past.

However, in Yuan Xi's view, Zhao Ying's all-out pleasing favor is like a clown. He is always thinking of relying on others to achieve his goals. Even if Yuan Xi is poor and lost his city and land, he will not use such a person.

During the meal, the upright Seifu mocked Zhao Ying's character from time to time. Yuan Xi kept silent and pretended not to see it.

As if he saw the disdain in Yuan Xi's eyes, Zhao Ying was discouraged. His identity and sleek communication methods were worthless in the eyes of top second-generation officials like Yuan Xi.

As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. This kind of golden saying is thought-provoking in any era and will benefit you for life. The ridicule of Seifu, Yuan Xi's tacit consent, and everything makes Zhao Ying think that his family has been treated coldly, and himself, as the head of the Zhao family, has been belittled as a wild dog.

In this way, after drinking a few bowls of yellow soup, the wine was strong, but Zhao Yingye was born from the side of his courage, and had a hint of "good birds choose trees to live in". At this time, the fast horse sent by Zhang Niujiao conveyed to him that he would attack Handan City at night tonight. At that moment, Zhao Ying directly agreed to Zhang Niujiao that he would open the city gate before he could enter the city.

Perhaps he thought that Yuan Xi's life was not long, so Zhao Ying found a hint of pleasure. During the banquet, Zhao Ying's strangeness still showed some clues by Shen Pei. When he returned to his residence, Shen Pei hurriedly reported the matter to Yuan Xi.

Now it is a turbulent time. If you follow the favor, you will hit Yuan Xi's heart. At that moment, the general Wang Sect sneaked into Zhao Ying's mansion, intending to find out.

The Wang Sect did not disappoint. After staying in the Zhao Mansion for an hour, he finally discovered the activities between Zhao Ying and the Black Mountain Army in Zhao Ying's drunken words.

Such a big event, the Wangmen naturally did not dare to delay it, so they hurried back to the county government to report the matter to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi was shocked when he heard this. Before Zhao Ying could open the city gate, he was just now. Before Yuan Xi could order the gathering of his troops, he heard the sound of killing in Handan City, and the flames were surging. Yuan Xi knew that this was the Black Mountain Army who rushed into the city and hurriedly called Shen Pei to discuss.

However, Shen Pei asked the Wangmen to take hundreds of guards from the county yamen to escort Yuan Xi to escape to the northern city gate on the grounds that "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

As soon as Yuan Xi and others left, Zhang Niujiao rushed to the gate of the county government, and then there was a scene where Zhang Niujiao didn't notice Yuan Xi just now.

At this time, a fast horse came to Zhang Niujiao and whispered loudly: "General, there is a group of Yuan troops running towards the north gate on the street to the north. Several of them were dressed in luxurious clothes, perhaps Yuan Xi!"

Zhang Niujiao was shocked when he heard this and cursed: "That boy is running quite fast. Brothers, follow me to pursue the north. Tonight, I vow to live a widow to Yuan Xi!"

When Yan Luo was relieved, Zhang Niujiao took the lead in riding his horse to chase north. Chu Yan and others did not dare to neglect them and followed closely behind.

After chasing two streets, Zhang Niujiao finally saw the group of people. He saw that these people were all wearing iron armor and holding sharp blades. Although they were retreating, their actions were well-founded and their steps were not at all confusing. From this, it can be seen that these are a group of elite soldiers!

The elite troops in the Yuan army were destroyed by Yuan Shao during the Battle of Guandu. Chu Yan could see at a glance that the people escorted by this group must be noble. He immediately said to Zhang Niujiao: "Enjoyed father, these Yuan soldiers are well-equipped and unlike ordinary troops. In the eyes of the child, they must be Yuan Xi's guard!"

Now, the two armies are more than ten feet apart and are holding each other against each other, and the atmosphere becomes depressing.

Yang Feng was originally an official in the court. After Yuan Shao took charge of Jizhou, he had the honor to visit him. He looked up and took advantage of the torch light. After seeing Yuan Xi’s appearance, he laughed and said, “General, the young man in white among Yuan’s soldiers is Yuan Xi!”

Zhang Niujiao was happy when he heard this, and laughed mockingly, "Yuan Xi, where are you going?"

Yuan Xi was running for life, but he met the Black Mountain Army at this time. At first he was lucky. Now he was recognized by the other side, he shouted angrily: "I am the governor of Jizhou. You and others attack the city at night and act as a robber. Can't you rebel? I am very kind. If you put down your weapons and kneel down to surrender, you may have spared your life!"

Zhang Niujiao laughed and said, "When did I become a thief robber? Brothers, tell this kid, who are we!"

Chu Yancai immediately took a step forward and whispered loudly: "We are the Yang family army, Yuan Xianyi, why don't you surrender quickly!"

"What?"

Yuan Xi was shocked when he heard this. Even Shen Pei didn't expect that when the Black Mountain Army had surrendered to Yang Fan. He thought for a while and then spoke: "Hao, you dare to use such a clumsy plan. Are you not afraid that Yang Fan will send troops to destroy you after he knows it?"

Zhang Niujiao smiled and said, "You don't believe it. Do you want me to tell lies? To be honest, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Yang Piqi has surrendered our Heishan Army. As for our Heishan Army for so many years, we have been hiding in Heishan, in order to destroy your Yuan family and seize the treasure land of Jizhou today!"

At this moment, even Shen Pei was speechless by Zhang Niujiao's words. He was frightened and said in his heart that Yang Fan had thought of today's situation a few years ago. It can be seen that Yang Fan was the hero, and Yuan Shao and others were just making wedding dresses for him!

At this time, the Wangmen came to Yuan Xi and whispered: "Lord, here is not far from the North Gate, and there are five hundred soldiers guards from our army there. As long as you run to the North Gate, it will be safe!"

Yuan Xi's eyes were too long and gritted his teeth and said, "I guess that the other party is not large, and I have 20,000 soldiers in this city. Why don't we fight with them and wait for reinforcements?"

Shen Pei was shocked and advised: "My lord, never! Yang Cavalry is using troops as if he is a god. Since the Black Mountain Army appeared in Handan City, it is enough to show that they are prepared! Besides, it is so dark, who knows how many Black Mountain Army there are in this city? It is better to withdraw from Handan City for the time being and escape from the dangerous land first!"

Wang Men nodded and said, "Mr. Zhizhong, what he said is reasonable. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Lord, you are in the overall situation of Jizhou. How can you easily take risks?"

Yuan Xi thought about it for a moment and felt that what Shen Pei and the others were right. He immediately told the king's sect to break the back and fled to the north gate.

Seeing that Yuan Xi was about to run away, how could Zhang Niujiao agree? Now, he is also taking advantage of the night to bluff. If Yuan Xi escaped, then he would be in danger in the city of Handan. He yelled anxiously and said, "Yuan Xi is about to run away. Brothers, follow the general and kill Yuan Xi, whoever kills Yuan Xi will be rewarded with a thousand golds and promoted to the next level!"

The two armies fought together in a hurry. The elite soldiers of the Yuan army and Zhang Niujiao were also good candidates selected from the army. As soon as they came into contact, they were killed and fought with their lives. The Black Mountain Army took advantage of the horsepower and rushed around. The Yuan army could still hold back their positions.

Seeing Yuan Xi running farther and farther, Zhang Niujiao saw it and was anxious in his heart. He roared at Chu Yan, "Feiyan, you lead your troops to fight with this group of Yuan army. I will chase Yuan Xi!"

As soon as his words fell, Zhang Niujiao slapped his horse and rushed out of Yuan Jun's defense, chasing Yuan Xi alone.

Seeing this, Chu Yan was anxious and shouted: "Entertainment father, it's dangerous, it's dangerous!"

Chu Yan was worried about Zhang Niujiao's safety and rushed forward desperately. However, this group of Yuan army was considered a dead soldier of the Yuan family. Even if the number of people was not comparable, he would not give up any inch of land. For a moment, he was in a stalemate.

When Zhang Niujiao saw Yuan Xi approaching the city gate, he was extremely anxious and only wanted to chase after him. When he turned around the corner, he was tripped to the ground by a rope. Zhang Niujiao rolled on the ground several times. As soon as he got up, he saw dozens of Yuan Xi's guards coming towards him. Zhang Niujiao was also not afraid of danger, and carried a spear and went forward to fight with him.

Zhang Niujiao was brave and brave, and an ordinary young man, how could he be his opponent? In addition, Yuan Bing wanted to leave, so he naturally would not fight. Suddenly, several people were stabbed to death by Zhang Niujiao. Yuan Xi was shocked when he saw this and turned around and ran away.

At this time, the Wangmen also came to chase after him, and Chu Yan was on the way. The two of them were riding their horses on the street, one of whom wanted to save Zhang Niujiao, and the other wanted to kill Zhang Niujiao.

After all, Chu Yan's war horse was about to rise one point, cross the Wangmen and head towards Zhang Niujiao. When Wangmen saw that his horse was unhappy, he was afraid that Chu Yan would continue to chase Yuan Xi after saving Zhang Niujiao. Gu Zhu was eager to take out the bow and arrow, and shot him at Zhang Niujiao in the crowd.

‘Swoosh!’

A strong wind blew across Chu Yan's ears, and he was shocked and quickly reminded him loudly: "Entertainment Father, be careful of the hidden arrow!"

But he made a sound a little later, and the sharp arrow passed through the crowd and shot straight into Zhang Niujiao's chest.

"ah!"

When Zhang Niujiao was first injured, his whole body was shocked and his skills were slower. Seeing this, the rest of Yuan Bing went forward without saying anything, and stepped forward and slashed Zhang Niujiao down on the spot!

"No!"

Chu Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he rushed to Zhang Niujiao's side, then dismounted and dispersed Yuan's soldiers, and Zhang Niujiao had already fallen into a pool of blood.

At this time, Chu Yan was not in the mood to continue chasing Yuan Xi. He just hugged Zhang Niujiao and cried: "Entertainment Father, you will not die, you will not die!"

Seeing that Chu Yan was unintentionally pursuing him, the Wangmen gathered some remaining soldiers, protected Yuan Xi, escaped from the north gate, and left.

Soon, Yang Feng and the Heishan army rushed over, but they saw their commander lying in Chu Yan's arms, dying.

As if he heard Chu Yan’s shout, Zhang Niujiao endured the pain and said weakly: "Son, I can't do it anymore. In the future, I will leave this Black Mountain Army to you!"

Chu Yan was like a child, just cried and said, "No, no, the adoptive father will not die! We also have to conquer Jizhou for the lord and Youzhou. After the north is unified, we will go south to the Central Plains. Adopted father, you will not die! No..."

Zhang Niujiao felt a little relieved, and many past events passed through his mind. He had been mediocre all his life. He took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and finally pulled up a rebel army, and was defeated by Yang Fan. In desperation, he surrendered to Yang Fan and agreed to stay in Heishan to prepare for the Yang family army's future attack on Jizhou.

At first, Zhang Niujiao could not withstand the loneliness in the mountains and had the intention of rebelling against Yang Fan. But after they walked in Bingzhou for a while, Zhang Niujiao followed Yang Fan wholeheartedly. The reason was that Zhang Niujiao was also from a poor family. Nowadays, there are not many princes who can think about the people, and Yang Fan can be regarded as a good leader.

However, in the first battle of the Heishan Army, Zhang Niujiao was unfortunately hit by a hidden arrow and was seriously injured. In addition to being angry, Zhang Niujiao was also reluctant to leave. After all, he died before he could succeed. This was an unacceptable situation. He originally hoped that after conquering Jizhou, Zhang Niujiao would also return to his hometown in a grand manner and let his relatives in his hometown take a look. Zhang Niujiao is now also a general of the court.

However, everything in the world often goes against your wishes!
