Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 33 The Way of Procrastination

Nan Ying felt bursts of soreness and tingling pain in his thighs, and cursed in his heart, it was really not a human thing to drive dozens of miles without horseshoe.

The three hundred cavalry put away the banner of the Northern Army, dressed in the uniform of the county soldiers, lined up in several columns, and stood quietly behind him. Although no one showed signs of panic, Nanying could imagine the panic in their hearts without looking back. Not to mention that they are facing 30,000 enemy troops, even 30,000 sheep are enough to trample them into powder.

Hou Tong was a little nervous beside him and said, "My lord, why do we have to line up in a column?" Since you said that you want to meet the attack, we should put on a horizontal charge formation! ”

Nanying said angrily: "When did the general say that he was going to confront the enemy army head-on?" ”

Hou Tong said a little suddenly: "Not bad, not bad!" The purpose of the adults is to delay the enemy army so as to buy precious time for Neihuang County to prepare for war! In saying this, we don't mean that we should fight a blocking war! ”

He was a little apprehensive: "But what should we do if the enemy rushes straight up without asking?" ”

Nanying hated that iron could not become steel: "Are you stupid? Hundreds of us came forward without a fight! As long as the Yellow Turban Master on the other side is not born with pig brains, he will think that we are here to negotiate or even surrender! How could it be possible to attack rashly? ”

Hou Tong's old face flushed and said: "Exactly!" But do the mud-legged people on the other side really have this kind of eyesight? ”

Nanying said lightly: "Look! Their formation is not chaotic at all, and the momentum of the soldiers is not bad! It seems that their Lord will not be simple! ”

Hou Tong saw several horsemen on the opposite side running slowly, and blurted out: "My lord, they really stepped forward to negotiate!" What should we say? ”

Nan Ying suddenly thought of a farce that happened in the court not long ago, and he smiled strangely and said, "Hou Junhou, do you know the Book of Filial Piety?" ”

Hou Tong was stunned and said: "Of course, this scripture is the foundation of loyalty and filial piety, how many of my Han officials don't know?" The last general doesn't dare to say that he is reciting it backwards, but he knows it very well! ”

"Good!" Nanying nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go, you come forward with me to answer!" Whatever I say in a moment, you will do! ”

"No!"

Yan Li led the two Yellow Turban generals to ride their horses to the front of the battle, and saw that the two horses of Nanying also came up, and they were not holding weapons, so they couldn't help but have even more doubts in their hearts. It is not surprising to say that the officers and soldiers surrendered in front of the formation, and the number of officers and soldiers in the Central Plains of the Yellow Turban Army can be said to be countless. But to talk about the three hundred cavalry coming to surrender, this is a bit strange.

Yan Li saw that the two horsemen on the opposite side were getting closer and closer, and the horse stepped forward and shouted: "This general is Yan Li, the general under the seat of General Tiangong, who will stop and report his name and intention!" Otherwise, I would have ordered the arrows to be released! ”

Nan Ying hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse, made a flashy posture, and said: "Don't release arrows, I am the lieutenant of Neihuang County, Yin Nan is also!" Wen Er and other thieves crossed the border, and they came to persuade each other! ”

Hou Tong beside him almost laughed out loud, daring to feel that this Lord Sima was here to fool people.

"Oh?" Yan Li's eyes flashed, "Could it be that the foot is from the Yin family of the fourth surnamed Xiaohou?" What do you want to persuade Ben to do? ”

Nanying said righteously: "As a Han person, you should be loyal to the Han family!" But why did he listen to the words of the horn and rebel? Don't you know that this is a felony of deception? This official thinks of the virtue of heaven and good life, and travels hundreds of miles to persuade him! I hope you don't mislead the country and yourself! ”

Yan Li smiled dumbly and said, "Full of great truth! It seems that he is really a child of the Yin family, so be it! For the sake of your family's great influence, if you join my Taiping Army, I will personally recommend it to you! How is it? ”

When he said this, he actually looked at the three hundred cavalry in front of him. Although the Yellow Turban Army was numerous, there were very few good horses, even among his 30,000 troops, there were only more than 200 horsemen, and most of them were used on the scouts. Now when you see three hundred cavalry, how can you not salivate?

Nan Ying made a look of shame and annoyance, and shouted: "You group of chaotic people dare to openly insult the court officials? Do you know that the law of the country is strict? ”

Yan Li sneered: "Phew! Court officials? Not long ago, this general was still an official and soldier Sima who ate 800 stones, and you dare to be arrogant in front of this general even if you are a county lieutenant? ”

Nanying pretended to be disillusioned and said, "What? You're actually an officer? Hello bold! ”

Yan Li pointed behind him and said proudly: "Our army is strong and strong, and the military Chinese and martial arts are even more talented!" Why doesn't the county lieutenant abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Otherwise, you won't want to leave in peace today! ”

A look of panic flashed on Nan Ying's face, and he lowered his head and pondered for a moment before he hesitated to Hou Tong: "Hou Junhou, what does the "Book of Filial Piety" say about rebellious behavior? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Hou Tonglian.

Hou Tong understood, cleared his throat and said, "How can General Yan not hear it?" The five punishments belong to three thousand, and the sin is no greater than unfilial piety, the king is supreme, the non-saint cannot, the non-filial piety has no relatives, and this chaotic way is also. The general's blatant disobedience is really a move without a king and a father! ”

Nan Ying secretly glanced at the sun that moved overhead, and then nodded: "Hou Junhou is right!" Didn't General Yan claim to be a man of all the literary and military strategies in the army? I want to hear what you say! ”

Yan Li laughed wildly: "It is difficult to ask the general with the "Book of Filial Piety"? What ignorance! In the past, the king of the Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and did not dare to leave behind the ministers of small countries, but the situation was in the duke, marquis, uncle, son, and man, so he won the favor of all countries. The king before him. The ruler did not dare to insult the widow and widow, but the situation was to the people, so he won the favor of the people and served his ancestors. The ruler of the family does not dare to lose to the concubine, but to the wife, so he wins the favor of the people and takes care of his relatives. Husband, so the birth is pro-peace, and the sacrifice is enjoyed by ghosts. It is to make peace in the world, and disasters will not arise and disasters will not be done. Therefore, the king of the Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. When the son is weak and incompetent today, and the world has been plagued for many years, it is a punishment from heaven! You say, Is the Son of Heaven worthy to steal on the throne of the dragon? ”

Nanying heard it in the clouds, but Hou Tong's face turned pale and he couldn't speak.

Yan Li laughed wildly and said, "Lieutenant Yin, what else do you have to say now?" Why don't you get off your horse and surrender quickly? ”

Nanying had already scolded that Xiang Xu a thousand times in his heart, and this nerd dared to suggest to the Son of Heaven that as long as he read the "Book of Filial Piety" to the Yellow Turban Army, he could make them surrender without a fight! What's even more ridiculous is that he Nanying really believes a little. originally wanted Hou Tong to refute the thief with the "Book of Filial Piety", and it was of course a fool's dream to make him turn against him, but at least it could delay some time!

Unexpectedly, this Yan Li was also full of reading scriptures, but he refuted Hou Tong speechless with the text of "The Book of Filial Piety", which was really ridiculous and generous!

He rolled his eyes, and said with a face full of unwillingness: "General Yan is indeed a well-educated person, and this official admires him!" But will the general dare to come forward to fight? If our side loses, it's not too late to discuss refuge! ”

Yan Li sneered: "Okay! You have already lost the civil war just now! If the battle is defeated again, even if he surrenders, the general will no longer treat each other as a guest! ”

He stepped forward and shouted, "Who dares to fight? ”

Nanying turned his horse back into battle and shouted, "Wait a minute! ”

Hou Tong galloped back to the formation with him, and said with a look of shame: "My lord, the last general is incompetent, and he was defeated by the thief general's verbal battle!" Please punish you! ”

Nanying smiled: "No! You've done a good job! At least another moment of time! ”

Hou Tong said: "It turns out that the adults are still stalling for time!" ”

He said bitterly, "Then how should the next battle be delayed?" Regardless of victory or defeat, I am afraid that the enemy army will charge brazenly! ”

Nanying thought for a while, turned his head to Dian Wei and said, "What do you think this general is capable of?" How many times can you win? ”

Dian Wei Weng said angrily: "How can you know if you haven't fought? Anyway, he will die within ten he! ”

Hou Tong was stunned, this black man is too confident! Shihe? You must know that Yan Li was born in the former official army and Sima Li, and he commanded the troops well, no matter how you look at it, he is not an incompetent person!

Nanying clapped his hands and said with a smile: "There is!" Since no matter whether you win or lose, the enemy army will attack! Let's try to keep an unbeaten game! ”

Dian Wei and Hou Tong opened their mouths together and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Nanying showed a sinister smile: "Old classic! Ben will order you to fight! There is no victory in the lily! Keep it tied! ”

Dian Wei said angrily: "Why? What's so hard about killing an ant? ”

Nan Ying lowered his face and said, "Dare not listen to my orders?" Do you want to drink in the future? ”

Dian Wei had to say with a bitter face: "Yes! ”

As he spoke, he was going to go out on horseback.

Nanying hurriedly stopped: "What's the hurry? It's a while if you can drag it out for a while! ”

I only heard that Yan Li, who was already impatient, shouted: "Lieutenant Yin, don't let your generals fight?" ”

Nan Ying raised his voice and called back: "General, be safe!" When the general of our army heard that the general was brave and crowned the three armies, he knew that he had no luck in going to war, and he was explaining the aftermath to his own officer, how could the general urge? ”

Yan Li listened to it and said, "In this case, wouldn't it be better to surrender early?" Why bother with your life? ”

The Yellow Turban Army in front of the formation also heard such a show of weakness, and burst into bursts of laughter together.

Hou Tong couldn't laugh when he heard it, but he was faintly convinced in his heart, although this Lord Sima was full of nonsense, he had successfully delayed so far, lowered the vigilance of the enemy generals, and had won in strategy.

Dian Wei's face turned red, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, but he was frightened back by Nanying's eyes, and threatened: "Old Dian, I warn you, you can only take out half of your ability, if you cut down the enemy general in three or five strokes, see how I clean you up!" ”

After dragging on for a while, seeing that Yan Li was irritable, Nan Ying said, "Go on!" Remember what I said! ”

Dian Wei raised the double halberd angrily, but he heard Nan Ying call softly: "Old Dian! ”

He turned his head to look, but saw that Nanying's bright eyes were full of solemnity: "Old man, you have to be careful!" As long as you buy a little more time for Neihuang, the brothers who defend the city may have more people alive, and I hope it's all on you! ”

Dian Wei suddenly calmed down, he nodded lightly, and rode his horse to meet Yan Li.

Lord, Lord, I know you're right! If only more brothers could live! What about personal honor and disgrace?
