Chapter 40: Fan Lihua's questioning
This is repeated repeatedly, and the time of the two pillars of incense has passed.
Although the soldiers of the Yuan army could not really surrender, the news of Ji Ling's 'death' made the morale of the soldiers of the Yuan army plummet, and they had no intention of fighting, and after being attacked by the enemy, they began to retreat in great strides.
Ji Ling has been working hard, hoping to redeem the defeat, and he even stood on a high place himself, wanting to use his body as a banner. But Lu Bu's archery skills are so good, and his strength is so great that he really can't resist it.
In addition, he is now wearing a pair of big pants for the soldiers to see, and it will also affect the morale of the army.
After a stalemate, Ji Ling was very helpless and led the army to evacuate.
Lu Bu was very excited, and shouted loudly: "Ji Ling is defeated, Ji Ling has escaped, chase it!" β
He personally led the personal guards, followed Ji Ling, and chased and killed all the way.
Although there are not many people, they are all iron cavalry, and they can be crushed in the face of the defeated and fleeing Yuan army.
After Fan Lihua handed over the battlefield to the generals under his command, she also led the army to catch up.
.................................
The next day, LΓΌ Bu led his army to Hengyang and met Song Xian, who had been ordered to come to the rescue.
Song Xian laughed, threw a man wearing big pants and covered in hair in front of Lu Bu, hugged his fists and said: "Lord, I just met Ji Ling's defeated army, I captured this kid alive, hahaha...!" β
When Lu Bu saw it, he was speechless. Along the way, although he killed countless Yuan Jun, he controlled his speed, for fear that he would arrest Ji Ling and ruin the overall situation. But Song Xian was good, and he arrested Ji Ling as soon as he came up.
"General Song has made this great achievement, and when he returns to the Assassin's Mansion, he will definitely be rewarded."
"Thank you, Lord."
Lu Bu glanced at the sky and said, "At this time, it is getting late, so I ordered to camp on the spot, detain Ji Ling, and escort him back to the East China Sea tomorrow." β
"No."
"This idiot, it's a big deal for me." Lu Bu muttered to himself, very unhappy.
Two hours later, Fan Lihua led the army to arrive and also stationed in the camp.
In the military tent, Fan Lihua asked, "Brother Fengxian, why did you arrest Ji Ling?" Isn't he going to be used to suppress Zhang Xun and Lei Bo? β
"It's not a good thing that Song Xian did." Lu Bu's face was full of displeasure.
"Hehe..."
Fan Lihua found a place to sit down, and said with a smile: "Ji Ling is also unlucky, there are strong soldiers in front and behind, no matter how he runs, he will hit our knife edge." General Song didn't know about it, so Brother Fengxian shouldn't be angry with him. β
Lu Bu thought for a while and asked, "If I really arrest Ji Ling, will Yuan Jun withdraw from the army directly?" Or will it continue its northern expedition? β
"Maybe I will retire, but I will never give up the northern expedition. After they reported Ji Ling's arrest, Yuan Shu would definitely appoint a new commander, and he would go north again. β
"yes, so it's useless to catch Ji Ling."
Lu Budao: "Wait for an opportunity to let Ji Ling go." But one thing to be careful not to make him feel that we let him go, but that he escaped by his own ability. β
"Yes, Rika understands. Let him go tonight. β
"Hmm."
At the third watch, the two soldiers who were in charge of guarding Ji Ling brought a dagger to the camp tent and tortured Ji Ling severely.
"Ji Ling, the general asked us to ask you, how much grain and grass did you carry in this northern expedition?" The soldier took the dagger, shook it in front of Ji Ling's eyes, and sneered: "If you don't say it, we will cut you one by one, hehe, see how long you can last." β
"Humph! You don't want to get any news from me! Ji Ling's face was full of disdain.
Two soldiers with daggers, a burst of threats.
After a while, one of them claimed to have diarrhea and left the tent. Another soldier stuck his dagger in the plank to show Ji Ling the sharpness of the blade, but before he could wait two minutes, his stomach was rumbling.
"No... No, I'll have to go too. The soldier clutched his ass and twisted away. However, due to the slow speed, a bubble of thin collapsed out, rolling Ji Ling's eyes.
After the soldier left, Ji Ling's eyes lit up, and he saw that two feet away, there was a dagger, firmly inserted into the edge of the wooden board. He quickly stood up, jumped over one by one, and rubbed the rope on his body on the blade.
"Hahaha... These two. Untying all the ropes on his body, Ji Ling couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
He stood at the door of the tent with a dagger.
When the two stomach-troubled soldiers returned, he quickly struck and killed them. Then, he changed into a soldier's clothes and swaggered out.
The next morning, Song Xian ran to report in a panic: "Lord, Ji Ling, Ji Ling escaped..." β
"Escape? How can they escape? Didn't I ask you to send someone to watch? β
"The last general sent someone to watch, but he still escaped..."
Lu Bu reprimanded loudly: "You are too careless. I can't even look at individual criminals, how can I be of great use? Originally, I planned to let you lead the army alone, but now it seems that there is no need for that... β
"Huh? Lord, why don't you chase it now? Song Xian felt remorseful in his heart, if he had known that Lu Bu was planning to do this, he would definitely personally guard Ji Ling.
"What are you chasing, everyone has run away."
Lu Bu waved his hand and said: "Forget it, for the sake of your slight work in this battle, I won't care about you, but you have to remember that you must not make such a mistake again in the future." β
"Yes, yes... The last general will definitely not do it again in the future. β
"Stand down. By the way, tell Fan Lihua that she will leave the camp in the afternoon and return to the East China Sea. β
"No."
Let Ji Ling go, and Lu Bu was completely relieved. The Yuan army has no iron cavalry, and Ji Ling, a reckless man, leads the army, even if it conquers Xuzhou again, it will not be possible. He can rest assured and bold to deal with other things.
Fifteen days later, LΓΌ Bu and Fan Lihua led their troops back to the county seat of Donghai County.
With the joint efforts of Lu Yi and Cheng Lian, the clans of Donghai County suffered a devastating blow, and anyone who was a little famous was beheaded and their family property confiscated.
Even some officials in important positions did not escape the fate of being killed.
In the lobby of the mansion, Lu Bu asked everyone to retreat, but stopped Fan Lihua and advised: "Lihua, I will return to Xiapi County tomorrow, you are stationed in the East China Sea, but you have to be careful." Ji Ling will definitely not give up. β
"Brother Fengxian, we have recovered more than 20,000 war horses in Jian'an County, and with a little training, we can train an elite iron horse. Whether it is a field battle or a tough battle, I am not afraid of him. Fan Lihua smiled and said confidently.
"Well, I'm relieved to have you here."
"Brother Fengxian, I have a little question, I want to ask you, can you explain it to me?" Fan Lihua's face suddenly sank slightly.
"What questions, just ask."
Fan Lihua took out a letter from her arms, handed it to Lu Bu, and said unhappily: "Who wrote this letter?" Why did the prostitute keep sending us messages over and over again? Could it be that Brother Fengxian really has something to do with her? β
