Chapter 630

"Chancellor, I am truly here to surrender sincerely."

"For the crimes committed in the past, I am willing to admit guilt."

"I only hope that the Chancellor can accept the tens of thousands of women and children of my Heishan bandits."

"If so, I will have no regrets even if I die!"

When saying this, Zhang Yan's face seemed to carry a radiance like the "Leshan Giant Buddha."

Selfless and shining with gold!

But for these few sentences of Zhang Yan, Gu Yi didn't believe a single word.

This old bandit Zhang Yan was very shrewd.

Bringing up the tens of thousands of Heishan bandit women and children at this time was purely moral kidnapping.

If Gu Yi agreed to Zhang Yan now and was willing to accept these tens of thousands of Heishan bandit women and children.

Then, as the leader of these people, Gu Yi naturally wouldn't be able to kill him casually.

In this way, Zhang Yan's life could be guaranteed, and he could even sleep soundly.

The abacus beads were clicking really loudly.

It's just that.

Gu Yi never accepted this set of moral kidnapping.

Tapping his fingers slightly, Gu Yi signaled Xu Sheng at his side to take out the Ancient Ingot Saber.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan's eyelids twitched fiercely.

Damn it! Gu Yi wouldn't really want to kill him, would he?

This was not the ending Zhang Yan wanted to see.

Compared to the lives of those old, weak, women, and children, for Zhang Yan, his own life was undoubtedly more important.

"Zhang Yan, you also know."

"I am not rich here either."

"Moreover, you are the General of Chariots and Cavalry of the pseudo-dynasty."

"If you don't die, how can I explain it to the people of the world?"

After saying this.

To cooperate with Gu Yi.

Xu Sheng very timely pushed the Ancient Ingot Saber forward.

His honest and sunny face was full of meticulousness.

But in Zhang Yan's eyes, that was clearly the face of a Black Impermanence!

"Then... why keep his life?"

"Why not do it once and for all?"

"Take advantage of the fact that he hasn't reacted yet and kill him in one fell swoop?"

As the words fell.

Zhen Yao started to shake his hands again.

Madam Zhang shook her head helplessly.

With Zhen Yao's ability, pinning the hope of reviving the Zhen family on him was really too much to ask.

But now.

The Zhen family was in imminent danger.

If they didn't do something vigorous and resolute.

I'm afraid... the final outcome of the Zhen family would definitely be to be eaten clean!

Thinking of this.

Zhang Yan specially took out the tiger tally hanging at his waist.

Although Zhang Yan's essence was still a mountain bandit.

But with the scale of the Heishan bandits, it was enough to be called an extremely large separatist force.

Managing so many people naturally required some tokens.

The tiger tally was precisely the token Zhang Yan had spent a huge sum of money to create.

Subsequently, Xu Sheng silently took the tiger tally and handed it to Gu Yi.

Looking at Zhang Yan, whose legs were trembling constantly, Gu Yi smiled:

"Old Bandit Yan, actually I have no intention of killing you."

"In the final analysis, you are just a person with ambition but no courage."

"Otherwise, with such armed separatist power, you."

"For so many years, you wouldn't have just been holed up in these Taihang Mountains."

Gu Yi was right.

Although the Taihang Mountains are indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But easy to defend and difficult to attack also means that active expansion outward is also difficult.

Just like the land of abundance, Shu.

The mountains and ridges, while hindering invading enemies, also firmly restricted them to Shu.

This era has no airplanes or high-speed trains.

In later generations, it only takes an hour or so by plane or four hours by high-speed train from Chang'an to Chengdu.

But in the late Han and Three Kingdoms period, it was a distance that many people could never reach in their entire lives.

The terrain and topography of the Taihang Mountains, although not as easy to defend and difficult to attack as Shu.

But looking at the land of Hebei, it is also the most dangerous large mountain range.

Zhang Yan had been active since the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Until now, more than ten years had passed.

But Zhang Yan had been holed up in the Taihang Mountains from beginning to end and failed to move south to occupy other cities.

On one hand, it was because Zhang Yan and the Heishan bandits could not get the support of the local aristocratic families and powerful clans in Jizhou.

On the other hand, it was because Zhang Yan's own courage was not enough.

He feared the aristocratic families and dared not offend them completely.

Being timid and always leaving himself a way out naturally meant it was impossible to get further transformative development.

Therefore, Zhang Yan only had ambition but no matching ability.

Being told this by Gu Yi.

Zhang Yan's head lowered even further.

"Alright, Old Bandit Yan, don't pretend to be like this on purpose."

"Get up."

"I can accept your surrender."

"But at the same time, I also need you to make some performance."

Hearing this.

Zhang Yan's heart gave a sudden jolt.

For some reason, he always felt that the difficulty of this task Gu Yi wanted him to do would likely be very great.

Immediately after.

To Zhang Yan's astonishment.

Gu Yi handed him a new task.

Although Zhang Yan's face was full of bitterness.

But in order to survive.

And to continue to hang out under Gu Yi's command.

The old bandit had no choice but to accept this task.

At the same time.

Bingzhou border.
