Ling Yan came to Ling Renxiang's mansion, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he was stopped by a general: "General Yan, please stay, General Ling will come immediately." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Ling Yan said strangely: "Isn't it the same when I go in?" ”

The military general couldn't say anything, just asked Ling Yan to wait at the door.

After a while, he saw Ling Renxiang walk out, and as soon as he saw Ling Yan, he said, "Brother, you accompany me to deliver the messenger." ”

Ling Yan nodded: "He left so early?" ”

Ling Renxiang said: "He said that he was busy with official business, and he had to go back as soon as possible to resume his life, who knows." ”

"It's okay if he's gone, I don't have a good impression of him." Ling Yan muttered.

Ling Renxiang smiled and went with Ling Yan to the place where the messenger rested.

After sending off the messenger, on the way back to the city, Ling Yan never spoke, and his face was not very good-looking.

Ling Renxiang sensed this: "Brother...... What's wrong? ”

Ling Yan looked at Ling Renxiang and smiled bitterly: "Just now, the messenger said, 'The trip to begging for thieves is urgent, send troops immediately, and the emperor will wait for you to wait for good news', so he said...... You promised to go on the Yellow Turban Thief? ”

Ling Renxiang smiled helplessly: "There is no way to do this, if I don't obey the emperor's order, then the crime will be big." ”

Ling Yan frowned and said, "I know where Nanyang and Yingchuan are, they are so far away from here, why do you want us to attack?" ”

Ling Renxiang thought for a while: "Nanyang is very close to the capital, maybe Emperor Xian is threatened by the Yellow Turban Thieves, and the people around him are not capable of eliminating those Yellow Turban Thieves, so let's go." ”

Ling Yan thought about it carefully, but shook his head: "It doesn't make sense...... There are countless generals under Emperor Xian, how can they not be able to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army? ”

Ling Renxiang sighed: "Brother, the Yellow Turban Army in this 'Three Kingdoms' is many times more powerful than the one in the novel, and there are many masters and fierce generals in the Yellow Turban Army, I think there should be many good generals in the court, but if it is purely by force, it will not be able to defeat the Yellow Turban Army." ”

Ling Yan was slightly worried: "I always feel that something is not right. ”

Ling Renxiang smiled and nodded: "Brother, I feel the same way as you." ”

Ling Yan didn't know why, and looked at Ling Renxiang suspiciously.

By this time, they had entered the city and came to the gate of the General's Palace. Ling Renxiang turned back to the group of civil and military forces behind him and said, "The main general will go back to rest for the time being, and come to the council hall in two hours to discuss the military situation." ”

The civil and military generals promised to leave with their fists clenched, and only Lu Gong followed Ling Yan into the general's mansion.

In the living room, Ling Yan sat down first, and then continued the topic just now: "Brother, you just said that you feel the same way?" ”

Ling Renxiang nodded and sat opposite Ling Yan: "Well, no matter what, this matter is not quite right. Generally speaking, when the emperor ordered a crusade against the thief army, he wanted to find the nearby Taishou to send an army, how could there be a reason to find a force thousands of miles away to clear the thief army next to him? ”

Ling Yan nodded: "Yes...... Unconscionable. ”

Ling Renxiang continued: "But I guess, it's nothing more than two reasons. ”

"Which two?"

Ling Renxiang said: "First, the imperial court heard that we have won consecutive battles, and the good news is frequent, thinking that we have the ability to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army. ”

Ling Yan thought for a while: "There is some truth to this...... And what about the second one? ”

Ling Renxiang said: "Second, I suspect that Cao Cao secretly instructed the emperor to give us an edict. ”

Ling Yan said "ah": "That's right! Now Cao Cao is 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes', right? ”

"Well, according to my investigation, that's the case, Cao Cao is now the 'Prime Minister Cao'," Ling Renxiang said, "However, he has not coerced Emperor Xian to move the capital yet." ”

Ling Yan was taken aback: "No, at this time, he should have asked Emperor Xian to move the capital to Xuchang!" ”

Ling Renxiang shook his head slightly: "I don't know about this, maybe his current power is not big enough...... We can't judge the situation now according to the experience of fiction or history, according to history, Dong Zhuo has already gone to the capital, but so far, he is still stationed in Xiliang. ”

The more Ling Yan thought about it, the more confused he became: "Then we ...... now"

Ling Renxiang said without hesitation: "No matter what the reason is, since the emperor has issued an order, I must send troops to fight." However, this is also good for us, once Nanyang and Yingchuan are pacified, it can greatly increase our prestige and prestige in the imperial court, and then the imperial court will look at us more differently and attach more importance to us, which will be of considerable benefit to our strength...... And Cao Cao will no longer underestimate us. ”

"Hmm." Ling Yan agreed with Ling Renxiang's view.

Ling Renxiang smiled: "So we must send troops immediately according to the holy will, and besides, the battle will be won." ”

Ling Yan nodded, and then a sad look appeared on his face: "That...... What should General Kuailiang do......"

Ling Renxiang said firmly: "Brother, don't worry, I won't sit idly by, first, to save Kuailiang, and second, to avenge Jianhe, and Yuan Shao already has the heart to attack me, I can't be polite to him." ”

Ling Yan was moved, but at the same time he was also confused: "Then what should we do?" On the one hand, we must send troops to fight for the Yellow Turbans, on the other hand, we must attack Jianhe City, and the Great Victory City must also leave enough defenders, with our current strength, I am afraid we will not be able to do it......"

Ling Renxiang seemed to have thought of this a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Brother, this is not a difficult thing. To crusade against the army of the Yellow Turban Thieves, you don't need to send too much, and when you pass through Suke City, you can send more troops and horses from there; If there is a need to attack Jianhe City, then send all the elite soldiers, and it doesn't matter if the defenders of Dajie City are insufficient, just guard against Liu Dai on the left, and with Liu Dai's forces, there is really no need to worry. ”

Ling Yan nodded, thinking that what Ling Renxiang said was very reasonable.

Ling Renxiang's smile gradually receded, and he suddenly sighed: "Brother, I didn't want you to participate in the war again for the time being......"

Ling Yan immediately understood Ling Renxiang's thoughts, and immediately said, "Now that the military situation is urgent, how can I stay out of the matter!" ”

Ling Renxiang looked at Ling Yan gratefully: "Thank you, brother, for your understanding!" ”

Ling Yan waved his hand: "Brother, don't say that, it's too outward." ”

Ling Renxiang smiled happily, then made up his mind and said, "Brother, then it's decided, you lead the troops to attack the Yellow Turban thieves in Nanyang and Yingchuan, and I will wait for the opportunity to attack Jianhe City!" ”

On the surface, the long journey to attack Nanyang and Yingchuan was a chore; And leading the troops to attack the small city of Jianhecheng, which is very close to the Great Victory City, is an advantage or disadvantage. In fact, it is not, it is the opposite: attacking Nanyang and Yingchuan, although the road is long, the danger is low, just a little tired, and the overall strength of the Yellow Turban Thief is still much worse than Yuan Shao; Attacking Jianhe City is tantamount to declaring war on Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao will go all out to meet the battle, and for those fierce generals under him, this battle is definitely a bitter battle.

Ling Yan naturally thought of this, he was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, when he encountered this situation, he would definitely rush to meet Yuan Shao, but after thinking about it, this battle may be related to Kuai Liang's life and death, so he must defeat Yuan Shao. In all fairness, Ling Renxiang's chances of winning by sending troops to victory must be much greater than his own, if he harmed Kuai Liang because of his momentary recklessness, then Ling Yan would not be able to forgive himself no matter what.

Thinking of this, Ling Yan agreed to Ling Renxiang's plan: "Okay, then I'll lead the troops to attack Nanyang and Yingchuan." ”
