Yang Ye's domineering declaration disregarded the Black Mountain Army. Although Zhang Yan was afraid of his reputation, he had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and could win with numbers. He shouted angrily, "Brothers, listen to me.
"Brothers, listen to my orders. The heavens have already died, and the black mountain has risen. The dog officials treated us so lightly and even killed Commander Yu. How can we not give them retribution? All of you, follow me and attack the city with all your might. Destroy the city and leave no one alive."
Zhang Yan was brave and good at fighting. He had won the hearts of the Black Mountain Army. After he gave the order, he released a huge halo of fanaticism. All the Yellow Turban Soldiers were boiling. They did not care about their lives and charged forward, braving the arrows, rocks, and golden water.
Hundreds of thousands of people surged forward like a tide, and the situation was extremely chaotic. However, due to the violent and disorderly attacks, the efficiency of the battle was not as good as the initial outflanking. On the battlefield where cold weapons were used, having more people was not reliable. Lack of organization and discipline was the greatest disaster.
Guo Jia recovered from his illness and was about to use the art of war to attack the Yellow Turban Soldiers. However, Yang Ye smiled and stopped him. He passed the imperial edict written by Emperor Ling of Han to Guo Jia, "Mister Guo, take a look at His Majesty's secret edict first. Now that chaos is coming, we need military power. It would be a pity to destroy these bandits. Why don't you let me subdue them?"
"Subdue all these bandits?" Even though Guo Jia was good at reading people's minds, he could not help but be shocked when he heard Yang Ye's words. "Although the bandits' combat ability is not high and they are poorly trained, there are at least hundreds of thousands of them …"
"I only have a plan. Guo Fengxiao, you should take a look at His Majesty's edict first!"
While speaking, Yang Ye suddenly activated the Emperor's Royal Sacred Dragon Benevolent Heart Technique, and a special spiritual energy suddenly appeared, imperceptibly influencing Guo Jia, causing him to feel an invisible pressure, not daring to disobey Yang Ye's words.
Just as Guo Jia was looking at the edict, Yang Ye took out the Golden Light Formation from the Yin-Yang fish mark. He shook it gently and activated it. Instantly, the entire battlefield of Changshan County was covered by 21 ancient mirrors.
The Plague Halo was then activated. Cataracts, epilepsy, cholera, influenza, and other viruses began to torment the Black Mountain Army. Yang Ye's halo originally had a limited area of effect, but after being reflected by the mirror of the Golden Light Array, the area of effect of the halo expanded by a few times, creating a terrifying infectious effect.
The soldiers of the Black Mountain Army were in various states of misery. Blindness and coughing were mild symptoms. The unlucky ones were either peeing in their pants, foaming at the mouth, or twitching non-stop. In an instant, Zhang Yan's Morale Boost effect turned into a bubble.
After Guo Jia finished reading the imperial edict, he finally confirmed Yang Ye's true identity as the Prime Minister. Furthermore, his innate friendliness towards Yang Ye increased as he witnessed Yang Ye's god-like means of defeating the enemy. This made him respect Yang Ye even more.
"Clairvoyance" told Guo Jia that Yang Ye was not lying. He could really subdue the hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain soldiers.
"Magical Control!" Yang Ye raised his head and roared. He finally used his true killing move, a domineering control technique that directly took people's minds and twisted their wills. Relying on the reflection effect of the Golden Light Array, like the Plague Halo, it instantly covered the entire Black Mountain Army.
The Black Mountain Army soldiers were already affected by the illness, and their various attributes had decreased. They had no way to defend themselves, and under the magical control, they all put down their weapons and knelt down, surrendering to Yang Ye.
Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, and the other main generals were shocked. Just as they were about to deal with the situation, Yang Ye's Seven Spirit Returning Blade came out of its sheath and flew out like lightning.
Slaying Blade Controlling Technique, Lin Bing, Dou Zhe, and Dou Zhe all lined up at the front. Slaying Evil!
The blade flashed past, and Yang Ye successfully took the head of the enemy leader. Zhang Yan and Yang Feng were beheaded. Although they were skilled, in front of Yang Ye, who had the strength of a War God, they were not much stronger than ants.
"The situation has been settled, and the enemy has surrendered. Sir Guo, you will deal with the rest." Yang Ye waved his hand, and a few streaks of light shot into Guo Jia's forehead like meteors.
Guo Jia instantly felt that the surrendered Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army soldiers all saw him as their target of loyalty. No matter what order he gave them, even if he asked them to commit suicide, they would carry it out.
This was because Yang Ye had passed the magical control over the hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain Army soldiers to Guo Jia. Yang Ye was familiar with the Three Kingdoms and knew about the intelligence of this genius. He believed that he would be able to properly deal with the reorganization of the army.
Just like that, Guo Jia opened the Changshan County city gate and led the army out to accept the surrendered soldiers. He also organized to chase down the Black Mountain Army generals who were not under his control.
Zhang Yan's godfather, Zhang Niujiao, was the last person to be killed. He was killed by one of Guo Jia's subordinates. Speaking of which, this subordinate was someone Yang Ye was familiar with. He was Tong Yuan's second disciple and Xia Houbo's brother, Xia Houlan. He was skilled in martial arts and had a close relationship with Zhao Yun since he was young. However, because of Tong Yuan, he became an enemy.
Although Yang Ye had possessed Zhao Yun, his current status was the high and mighty Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. There was a huge gap between his status and Xia Houlan's. How could he degrade himself and condescend to speak with a mere general? After all, Tong Yuan was killed by Ling Yong in the end, so he couldn't expect Xiahou Lan to forgive him. Moreover, according to the setting of the Three Kingdoms plot, Xiahou Lan was a stubborn person. If Yang Ye inherited Zhao Yun's feelings and treated Xiahou Lan more kindly, it would create all kinds of negative possibilities. A man shouldn't be sentimental and imitate those saints.
Hence, Yang Ye was really cold toward Xia Houlan. He ordered Guo Jia to reward him if he made a contribution and punish him if he made a mistake. He could stay and leave if he wanted to. He would not receive any special treatment because he was his junior brother, and he would not be punished because he offended him.
According to his idea of valuing talent, Xia Houlan wasn't worthy of extra attention. She wasn't the focus of his attention and didn't need to be drawn over to his side.
Putting aside the matter of Yang Ye and Guo Jia recruiting the Black Mountain Army, he talked about the story of Jinyang City in Bing Province.
Bing Province was one of the nine provinces established by Yu the Great. Its prefecture was located in Jinyang, which was the capital of China's Shanxi province in the future.
This place was close to Hetao and was often harassed by the Xiongnu. The people there were fierce, similar to Liangzhou's Qiang Hu. Hence, the Bing Province Wolf Cavalry was one of the three great armies of Great Han. Wuyuan Lu Bu was one of the most famous heroes.
Bing Province Provincial Governor Ding Yuan, also known as Jianyang, came from a poor background and did not study much. He was courageous and good at riding and archery. He rose up from the ranks and was a rough person, but he led the army with brute strength. Most of the generals under him were rough people.
Such a brute like Lu Bu could be considered a rare scholar in the Bing Province Army. Ding Yuan appointed him as the secretary of the middle army. Following which, Lu Bu was borrowed by Dong Zhuo to do things at the north border and did not return. As a result, the military matters became chaotic and logistical matters were difficult to continue.
Luckily, due to the recommendations of the soldiers, Ding Yuan chose two Yanmen generals, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, to take over the position. Only then did the commotion end and return to normal.
However, today, Ding Yuan once again felt a huge headache. It turned out that there were a few uninvited guests in his manor. The person in the lead of the group of uninvited guests was a gorgeous, charming, and flawless beauty that was like a flower. If it wasn't for her identity being too special, Ding Benlai would have surely been intoxicated by her peerless beauty.
She was the former Youzhou Provincial Governor and Wuhuan Lieutenant. She was the wife of the current Great Han Prime Minister, Yang Ye. She had personally presided over the battles of Shimen and Guanzi City. She was the female Zhuge Liu Hui Niang who had suppressed Zhang Ju and swept through the various tribes of the Northern Frontier.
Ding Yuan could not believe that this beauty in front of him was the legendary Yuanrong who could make millions of heads roll with a wave of her hand.
Guan Shengchuo held his Green Dragon Crescent Blade while Lin Chong held his Snake Spear. They stood behind Liu Huiniang, their eyes filled with killing intent. Liu Huiniang smiled and said gently,
"Bing Province Official, have you heard his majesty's decree? Are you willing to support the Han together with my husband or continue to wallow in the mire with Dong Zhuo? It's just a matter of words. "
With the imperial edict in his hand, Ding Yuan's heart was full of hesitation, overcautious and overcautious. But just as he was about to explain, the tent curtain at the rear of the army was lifted and several hundred armored warriors rushed in noisily, surrounding Liu Huiniang, Guan Sheng and Lin Chong.
Liu Huiniang was calm and collected. She said cheerfully, "Bing Province Official, what do you mean by this? Do you want to rebel like Yuan Shao and Wang Fen? "
Before Ding Yuan could answer, a tall young woman walked out from among the warriors. Her face was covered with rouge, her appearance was coquettish, her figure was exquisite, and her skin was round and smooth. She was his thirteenth concubine, the Xiqiang beauty, Erzhu Shi, who was presented by Dong Zhuo.
Erzhu Shi coldly shouted, "Bing Province Official, don't believe this witch's nonsense. It's clear that she and her wild man held the Son of Heaven hostage in Ji Province. Now they are issuing a fake imperial decree, wanting to command the world's warlords. You must not be bewitched."
In the end, Ding Yuan was afraid of Yang Ye's prestige. He quickly said, "You are a woman, what do you know about national affairs? Quickly withdraw your troops. We'll talk later."
Erzhu Shi anxiously said, "Daren, you are really muddle-headed. What kind of thing is Yang Ye? He is a remnant of the Yellow Turban, his reputation is in tatters. Zhong Yinggong is the hero who pacified the Yellow Turban, the common people of the Central Plains respect him. If he did not hold the Son of Heaven hostage, how could he obtain the position of Prime Minister? His name is not right, his words are not correct. He is not worthy of your Bing Province's troops. "
"Moreover, You Province's troops are far away on the horizon, while Liang Province's Dong Family Army is close at hand. I heard Dong Gong has raised a rebel army and is going to lead his troops straight to Guanzhong to fight a decisive battle with Yang Ye. If you do not understand the current situation, first you will have to taste Dong Gong's Xi Liang cavalry's vengeful anger. Do you think Bing Province's Wolf Cavalry is qualified to be Dong Gong's enemy? "
Ding Yuan shook his head calmly and said, "If there is no Lu Fengxian, using my Bing Province's troops to fight Xi Liang's army is like hitting a rock with an egg."
Erzhu Shi said, "That's right. Dong Gong has just used a raven to send a message. If Bing Province daren is willing to join hands with him to 'clean up the Emperor's side, get rid of the rebels', and if the next day succeeds, he is willing to give you the official position of 'Emperor Equal to the Emperor'. He will also give you Cai Yong's daughter as a concubine."
"Cai Yong's daughter? Is it that Cai Zhaoji? "Hearing this name, Ding Yuan's chest immediately burned, a ball of lust rose from his dantian.
Cai Yong's daughter Cai Zhaoji was a famous talented woman of the late Han and Three Kingdoms period. Cai Yan was good at poetry, literature, music, and calligraphy. She had both talent and beauty. Her name was Luo Yang, and she was Ding Yuan's dream lover. He had been thinking about her for many years. It's just that the age difference between the two was too big. Cai Yong was the Emperor's teacher, a Confucian scholar. Therefore, even if Ding Yuan had more power, he did not dare to risk universal condemnation and forcibly marry her.
Recently, Ding Yuan heard that Cai Yong and the Wei family of Hedong had formed a marriage alliance. They had already betrothed Cai Yan to the Wei family's young master Wei Zhongdao. In a few days, the two would be married. This made his heart full of adoration turn into bubbles and shadows.
Although there were many beautiful women in the world, there was no one else who was as beautiful as a flower and as talented as eight talents other than Cai Zhaoji.
Erzhu Shi nodded and said, "Of course it is Cai Dajia's Miss Zhaoji. Dong Gong is aware of Bing Province daren's worries and is willing to fulfill your wish. He has already sent troops to Hedong's Wei family to kill Wei Zhongdao and forcibly take Cai Zhaoji. As long as you make the right choice, sooner or later this beauty will be sent to you to enjoy."
"Good. Since Dong Gong is so sincere, I definitely won't let him down." Ding Yuan's face was suddenly filled with murderous intent. He swept his bone-chilling gaze over, invading Liu Huiniang's towering breasts without any concealment.
"Madame Yang, I'm sorry. I would rather betray the Emperor than betray a beauty. In order to pursue the goddess of my dreams, I can't care about anything else. Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Song Xian, move together and take down the witch from Youzhou and her henchmen! "
