Five days later, the Black Mountain Village was extremely lively.
The leaders of the Montenegrin Army arrived here with their own escorts.
There were more than 20 leaders, each of them brought more than a hundred escorts.
Some even We brought hundreds of people here, and there were more than 3,000 people in the village.
There was simply no room for so many people in the village.
The open spaces inside and outside the village were covered with tents.
More people meant more trouble.
There were so many leaders, big and small, with their own escorts and entourages.
It was inevitable that friction would arise, and fights would occur if they disagreed.
With swords drawn, eight incidents occurred on the first day alone.
Zhang Yan was so overwhelmed that she was so angry that she ordered that those who got into fights and injured others would be severely punished.
If the circumstances were serious, they would be beheaded in public.
This suppressed the security incident.
Early the next morning, the leaders of the mountains were notified and rushed to the meeting hall.
Everyone knew that the official business was about to begin.
The various leaders of the Montenegrin Army were gathered together in the meeting hall.
They were all discussing the recruitment matter before Zhang Yan arrived.
They also came after receiving relevant notifications.
Zhang Yan had no intention of concealing this matter and sent someone to notify him.
The whole story was explained.
"Lei Gong, what do you think about the recruitment?"
Liu Shi, one of the leaders of the Black Mountain Army, asked Zhang Leigong.
Zhang Leigong said: "The reason why we started the rebellion is not to live a good life.
Accepting the recruitment is a good way out.
Once the recruitment is successful, we people will definitely be promoted to high positions and benefit future generations.
It's just that this recruitment is a good way out.
It still depends on who will recruit him.”
His words attracted the attention of other leaders of the Black Mountain Army, and Yang Feng asked: "What do you think Lei Gong said?"
Zhang Leigong said: "If it is Yuan Shao'er who sends people to recruit us, I, Zhang Leigong, will never agree.
If it is Gongsun Zan who sends people to recruit us, I, Zhang Leigong, can still consider it.
If it is Cao Cao who sends people to recruit people, I can barely talk to them.
If the imperial court sends people to recruit people, I think this matter should be taken seriously."
Qing Niujiao nodded and said: "Lei Gong's words are very good.
Yuan Shao has such a bad reputation.
He has high vision and low hand.
He only cares about his background.
We are all born in mud.
If we follow him, we will never get ahead.
Gongsun Zan has sent troops to fight many times in recent years.
The Mobei barbarians are somewhat heroic, and they enhance the reputation of the Han people.
Such people should not treat their subordinates too badly; as for Cao Cao, listen It is said that this person employs people in an eclectic way, but this person is too unscrupulous.
In order to achieve his goal, he can betray his allies at any time.
He has no brotherhood in his eyes.
Brothers are for betrayal.
Follow this kind of person. , I can’t sleep.

In fact, what I am most optimistic about is the imperial court.
If the imperial court sends people to recruit me and others, I think we can even lower some conditions."
"Brother, I have heard about the changes in the imperial court in the past few years.
Under the purges and reforms of the Protector Liu Cheng, the imperial court has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The administration of officials has become clearer, and the power of the aristocratic families has been weakened and seriously weakened.
Suppressed, the common people have benefited, and poor families have received support, and I also heard that the Protector Liu Cheng is a man who sticks to his word, so it should be trustworthy to accept the imperial court's recruitment," said Fuyun, one of the leaders of the Black Mountain Army.
Wu Lu echoed: "What Taoist Master Fuyun said is true.
No matter what, the imperial court is always the imperial court, and the representative is the Han Dynasty.
Whether it is Cao Cao, Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zan, they are just local warlords.
I think it is reliable to accept the imperial court's recruitment."
Some" "Ahem!"
Two coughs came and attracted the attention of all the leaders of the Montenegrin Army.
When everyone saw it, it was Ping Han, one of the leaders.
They saw him saying: "You are all talking about acceptance here.
Whose recruitment is better, but do you know who sent people to recruit this time?
Is it the imperial court, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao or Cao Cao?"
The leader Huang Long said with a cold face: "Yes, according to what I mean, I don't think it is reliable who sent people to recruit us in Wulu.
Those officials, local warlords, and court ministers who are not insidious and cunning people, you still can't believe it."
Expect them to find a good future for you, and I tell you, a good future can only be created with the knife and gun in your own hand."
At this moment, a loud voice shouted: "The big leader is here!"
I saw Zhang Yan walking in with several of his brothers.
Among the leaders in the hall, seeing him like this, someone snorted: "Huh, what a grand scene."
"Meet the Big Boss" The words he just said hit Zhang Yan's ears word for word, but he didn't react at all.
After all the leaders clasped their fists and saluted him, he pressed his hands and said, "Brothers, please take your seats."
"Thank you, Chief."
The leaders all sat down one after another.
The scene was a bit noisy, after all, there were a lot of people.
Zhang Yan looked around at the leaders in the hall and said: "It seems that all the brothers on the mountain have arrived, and all the brothers also know that I sent someone to inform you this time to come to discuss the matter.
Yes, it is to recruit people." matter" No one interrupted, all the leaders looked at Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan continued: "In the past, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao also sent people to recruit us and others.
All brothers were more optimistic about Gongsun Zan and less optimistic about Yuan Shao, so we didn't talk to Yuan Shao and just followed him.
Gongsun Zan’s people had contacts with each other, and many brothers were inclined to accept Gongsun Zan’s recruitment.
The two sides had relatively substantive discussions, but they were forced to interrupt due to the mutual conquests between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao and the intervention of the imperial court.”
"This time the recruitment is different.
This time it is not sent by Gongsun Zan, let alone Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, but by the imperial court."
"Did the imperial court really send someone here?"
Someone among the leaders was overjoyed.
Someone immediately went on to say: "If it is true that the imperial court sent people to recruit people, I think we should be more proactive and facilitate this matter as soon as possible."
Wulu asked: "Big Chief, I wonder where the imperial envoy is and if he can provide conditions for recruitment?"
Zhang Yan pressed her hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Everyone, the imperial envoys are currently in the stronghold, but in view of the fact that some of our brothers have tried to harm the envoys sent by Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in the past, so this time our chief We can't act carelessly, and we can't let the imperial envoys show up easily.
Otherwise, if something happens to the imperial envoys in my place, not only will they be If An's matter is going to fall through, I'm afraid we will have to face the wrath of the imperial court.
Therefore, until the ideas and opinions among our brothers are not unified, I do not intend to easily let the imperial envoys show up.
Unless all brothers agree to accept the recruitment, then When the time comes, I will ask the imperial envoys to come out to meet with you and make guarantees and show sincerity.
I don’t know what you brothers think.”
Qing Niujiao immediately agreed: "What the big leader said is true.

I, Qing Niujiao, am the first to agree."
"I agree too" "agree" The leaders expressed their agreement one by one, but there were still a few who did not express their opinions, but Zhang Yan would not delay the discussion process just because these few people did not speak.
Zhang Yan looked at everyone's reaction, nodded and said: "Very good, now I will talk about the conditions offered by the imperial envoy."
Under the gaze of all the leaders, Zhang Yan slowly said: "The imperial court promises: First, all the people who are attached to the Black Mountain Army will be given land, ten acres for each person over ten years old; half an acre for each person under ten years old.
These Once the land is distributed to an individual, it will be permanently owned by the individual.
The court will not collect a single copper coin in taxes for the first three years.
After three years, it will begin to collect taxes, and 20% of the income per mu will be handed over.
The income of the imperial court.
Those aristocratic families occupy the land and rent it to the common people for farming, but they charge 50% to 60% of the tax, but the imperial court only charges 20% of the brothers.
Who is good to the common people?
In fact, the imperial court has always been caring for the common people.
The decrees issued are all beneficial to the people, but because those aristocratic families control the official positions in the court, they take away the benefits that originally belong to the people."
"Second, the imperial court promised to arrange appropriate official positions for our leaders.
According to the imperial court's wishes, after the Montenegro Army accepts the imperial recruitment, the imperial court will reorganize the Montenegro Army and establish a new Montenegro Army.
It will be reorganized according to the establishment of the Han army.
We All leaders can stay in the army, but the court will arrange for generals at the general level to serve us.
Those who pass the training are qualified to stay in the army.
There is no need to worry if they fail, but they cannot stay in the army.
The court will arrange appropriate official positions for us in the local government.
If someone does not want to be an official or a general, the court will still We can be rewarded with land and money to make us rich.
The specific standards of rewards need to be discussed with the envoys sent by the imperial court."
"Third, after the reorganization is completed, only some elite soldiers can stay.
In addition to being allocated land, the eliminated soldiers can also receive some severance expenses."
"The above are the conditions given by the imperial court for us to accept the recruitment.
Brothers, you can discuss it.
If you can accept it, we will accept the imperial court's recruitment.
From now on, we will no longer be bandits, and our descendants can have a good background.
If we don't accept it, we will It is very likely that he will bear the crime of being a bandit in this life, even for future generations."
Someone suddenly stood up and said loudly: "I don't believe that the imperial court will give such generous terms.
The people in the imperial court are all cannibals.
They would be so kind.
I always feel that there is something wrong with this.
I don't agree to accept it from the imperial court."
"Recruitment" When everyone saw that it was Huang Long, one of the leaders, another leader named Bai Que stood up and said: "I don't agree with the recruitment.
Now that the world is divided, it is the time for heroes to rise.
Why should we surrender to the imperial court?
Why should we surrender to the imperial court?"
We cannot unite as one to conquer the world.”
These words made many people very excited.
After all, if you can have the opportunity to become the head of a chicken, why bother to become the tail of a phoenix?
"Brothers, although the world is still under the Han Dynasty, the court only has a name.
In fact, it can only control Bingzhou, Sili, Liangzhou, Yizhou and other places.
It is beyond the reach of other states and counties, and we and others Standing between the imperial court and the princes, we can just take advantage of the contradiction between the princes and the imperial court to survive and develop":
