Chaoge County was once the capital of the Shang Dynasty. It was called Qi County in later generations, and it was adjacent to Hebi City in the north.

Twenty miles west, that is, about ten kilometers, it is the Taihang Mountains. If you don’t understand this, you can further explain: One hundred miles west of Chaoge County is where the Heishan is!

Considering that it is already the Taihang Mountains twenty miles west, it can also be considered that the area is also an active area for Black Mountain bandits.

"What did your brother find?" Guan Yu asked curiously. After all, Lu Yan is currently busy in another place.

"As far as I know, there are several thieves active in the Taihang Mountains. The leader... seems to be called Zhang Niujiao." Liu Tao thought for a while, and had read similar content when he read novels before.

In addition, as far as he knows, during this period, Zhang Niujiao did not raise an army to respond to the Yellow Turban Thief. Instead, the year after the Yellow Turban Thief was pacified, which was the year after the Yellow Turban Thief was pacified, which was in 185 AD.

Speaking of which, Zhang Niujiao really started a military campaign in Taihang Mountains? Because Zhang Yan was the leader of the Black Mountain bandits, he would be used to seeing that they all came from the Taihang Mountains... But if you remember correctly, Zhang Niujiao seemed to have died in the goito pottery in Julu County.

He seemed to have caught something vaguely. There was a memory buried deep in it, which should be Zhang Niujiao's description.

But since I haven't recalled it now, it means that it is the kind in my mind. I have seen it with a glance, but the purpose of the investigation was not that at first, so I don't remember it deeply, and it is even difficult to recall it in general.

If you can really do it, then your ability to "not forget everything" will be considered a great success, right?

Liu Tao was recalling the information that might have only seen one glance, but soon did not care about it. No one would accumulate so much knowledge specifically for time travel. At most, when reading novels, he was curious about this person, so he went to read it.

In addition, the time is a bit long, so I have to dig it out in my mind, thanks to his 13-point spirit.

"Boling County?" Liu Tao muttered a place name, "I remember Boling County, it seems that it is not east of Liwu County, right?"

"Yes, Boling County, Boling County. During the reign of Emperor Huan, in order to respect his father Xiao Chong, Boshui was used as the tomb and established Boling County in Liwu County. At the same time, it was divided into several counties in Zhongshan, Hejian and Anping County, and established Boling County, and the county was under Boling County." Jian Yong did his homework a little.

This is true, so they did not go to Boling County at that time, after all, there was no longer Zhongshan County.

"So that's it, we didn't go there..." Liu Tao pondered. He should have gone there at that time. But he didn't remember that Zhang Niujiao was actually from Boling County.

I made a mistake before. In fact, Zhang Niujiao was in Boling County, while Zhang Yan was actually from Zhending, Changshan and was a fellow villager with Zhao Yun. During this period, a group of robbers had gathered to cruise in Taihang Mountains. When he returned to Zhending, there were nearly 10,000 people under his command.

For a moment, I also wondered whether Zhao Yun knew Zhang Yan in official history, and even had sex with him.

The final conclusion is: Zhang Niujiao will raise his troops next year, and Chu Yan will respond in Zhending, and finally join forces with the army in Yingtao. After Zhang Niujiao was shot, he thought of his brothers who followed him, so he asked them to recognize Zhang Yan as the leader. In order to better gather these people, the latter recognized Zhang Niujiao as his adoptive father and changed his name to Zhang Yan.

"Brother..." Guan Yu couldn't figure it out. After all, Liu Tao's behavior felt a little messy. Let's go here and there.

"It's nothing, just when I was thinking about something, my thoughts began to connect many fragments together." Liu Tao looked at his worried look and quickly explained, "I probably know who the thief who was coveting the grain transport team in Chaoge."

"Oh, who is the sacred person who can let his brother know his existence?" Guan Yu was a little curious. According to his understanding, Liu Tao had "see" what happened in the future. He was just a little bit complete, so he didn't see it very accurately.

In this case, what he can remember must be no nameless person.

"Chu Yan, a real person in Changshan, also has a nickname called Feiyan in the world. Yun Chang used to be a ranger, have you ever heard of this name?" Liu Tao asked with a smile.

"I heard from other raiders that Chu Yan said, wandering in Taihang Mountains, going down the mountain from time to time to be a hero. He specializes in looting wealthy and unkind powers, and supporting the poor, is quite famous among raiders.

The key is that he is generous. At a young age, he is not only first-class in strength, but he will help others in difficulties... To be honest, for a while, I thought about hanging out with him for a while." Guan Yu replied embarrassedly.

Chu Yan was active in the Taihang Mountains, and Youzhou, Jizhou, and even Bingzhou and Sili were all within his range of activities. However, Taihang Mountains were so big that it was difficult to catch him, and his life was always very comfortable.

"Slow down..." Guan Yu obviously realized something, "It was him who covets the army's food and supplies?"

"If I was not mistaken, there should be thousands of people under his command, and there may be more family members behind him. How can so many people rely solely on daily robbery?" Liu Tao thought for a while.

He paused and added: "Even if they have a base in Taihang Mountains and live and plant them at the same time, they are afraid that it will not be enough. The food transported from Luoyang through Hanoi is enough for tens of thousands of troops, and the amount of money per month."

He even doubted whether Zhang Yan had robbed military rations in history, which led to a shortage of food in Lu Zhi's army.

With food shortage and war-weariness, morale is good if it has not collapsed. I still hope to defeat Guangzong? Lu Zhi can support him for two months, but his morale has not collapsed yet. It is already very impressive!

Of course, what didn't happen can only be considered a guess, but it is true that when the grain transport team passed by Chaoge, an unknown person appeared nearby to cruising near the grain team. At least, this incident has indeed happened at present.

"In short..." Liu Tao looked back at everyone, including Lu Yan who had just entered, "Our enemy is a group of robbers, with an estimated number of thousands. The leader is Chu Yan, a native of Zhending, Changshan. At the same time, if the battle goes well, the thieves will escape into the mountains and forests at any time, so try to avoid chasing them in the forest."

Taihang Mountain is not a small forest. Even if there is the insight of Fenglong, you can monitor every grass and tree within a radius of ten miles. For this reason, you must concentrate all day long to prevent thieves from sneak attacking.

It also means that you can marche at most ten miles a day. For safety reasons, you can only walk five miles.

Don’t join the forest when you cheat, you must abide by the Basic Law, otherwise you will accidentally kill yourself, which will be miserable.

"Lord, I have always wanted to ask this question... why do you know these?" Jian Yong still couldn't sit still. After all, he felt that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Lu Yan knew about it, and it seemed that he was excluded.

"Xianhe, haven't I said that I know magic?" Liu Tao felt that it was impossible to say it directly, but it could be said in another way.

He paused, pointed to his brain, and said, "The sky eyes can do it, so there is nothing strange about oracles, right? When I sleep, I would occasionally 'see' some clips, some information, and some events. It's very fragmentary, but very real."

"Simply put, my brother can predict the future, but then it is just a piecemeal and unknown." Lu Yan quickly added.
