You Heng asked in a cold voice: "Brother Xian, if you don't kill him, do you want him to march with our army?" ”

Ling Yan did not hesitate and nodded.

You Heng frowned and said slowly: "Brother Xian, there is something I still want to say...... Zuo Xiao and Yu Zhenggen are both generals of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and it is unknown whether they really surrendered...... Once these two suddenly rebel in the army in the future, and then join forces with the thief army, then our army will definitely be in danger! ”

Ling Yan nodded: "What your eldest brother said makes sense. I've thought about this too...... I don't think General Yu will rebel, I think he really surrendered to our army...... As for General Zuo, I don't think he's lying to me, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big sacrifice...... Even if he surrendered by deception, he has no internal qi, what can he do? ”

You Heng didn't speak, and he didn't say anything.

Ling Yan continued: "If they lie to me, of course there will be danger, but I don't think there will be much danger; But if they really surrender, it will be of great benefit to our army......" After a pause, he continued, "Just talking about Colonel Zuo's influence among the Yellow Turban Thieves, it should not be underestimated...... He is the 'Western God General', and he should have a pivotal position in the Yellow Turban Army, if he surrenders to us, then the subsequent crusade and siege will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! If we meet a city guard who is his lieutenant, then we can let him persuade him to surrender, if he can take the city without blood, wouldn't it be the best result? ”

You Heng thought for a moment, then nodded.

Ling Yan continued: "In addition to persuading us to surrender, Colonel Zuo can also offer us strategies to break the city, which is very helpful to us in terms of his strategy...... Besides, Colonel Zuo's martial arts are not bad. ”

You Heng paused for a long time before he said again: "Brother Xian, it's a good thing that you have this fierce general...... It's just that I'm worried about raising tigers......"

Ling Yan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I know, I'll be careful." ”

You Heng nodded reluctantly: "That's fine." ”

After the two chatted for a while, You Heng left.

After Ling Yan had eaten his fill, he felt sleepiness attacking, so he went to lie down and rest.

I don't know how long it took, and in a trance and half-asleep, Ling Yan suddenly heard someone calling him.

Ling Yan rubbed his eyes and looked towards the place where the voice came from: "Who?" ”

A voice behind the door said: "General Yan, the soldiers and horses of Sanzhai have arrived outside Juye City, please make a decision." ”

Ling Yan was overjoyed, immediately refreshed, hurriedly walked outside the door, and asked the soldiers standing outside the door, "All the soldiers and horses of the three camps have arrived?" ”

The soldier replied, "Yes." ”

Ling Yan was very happy, and hurriedly walked out of the house and walked towards the city gate.

When he arrived at the city gate, Ling Yan saw that the city gate was wide open, and outside the gate were Kuai Liang and the others and his thousands of soldiers.

Ling Yan hurriedly walked over and asked Kuai Liang with a smile, "General Kuai, everything is okay?" ”

Kuai Liang arched his hand and said, "There is no accident. But when we arrived here, I saw that the guards on the city were still Yellow Turban soldiers, and I just thought something was wrong, and the city gate was opened, but the guards would not let us in. ”

"Well," Ling Yan nodded, "I haven't had time to change the defenders yet...... Now that the city is in hand, there is no need to rush about other things. ”

At this time, Zhang Yi, Deng Yi, Yang Feng and others also rode to Ling Yan, Ling Yan greeted them one by one, then looked around, and asked Kuai Liang: "General Kuai, those Yellow Turban prisoners also brought them, right?" ”

Kuai Liang said: "General Yan rest assured, they came with us, in the rear army." ”

Ling Yan nodded with satisfaction, and asked Kuai Liang and the other generals to go to the city to rest first, and the soldiers and horses were also sent to settle down. And those Yellow Turban prisoners, Ling Yan also sent troops to escort them to a safe place in the city.

After everything was done, Ling Yan returned to the General's Mansion and slept soundly.

At noon the next day, Ling Yan woke up. I slept quite soundly last night, so after Ling Yan got up, he felt a shock and was very comfortable.

As soon as his heart became happy, Ling Yan couldn't help but hum a pop song - at first glance, humming a pop song in ancient times was quite awkward, but Ling Yan had already adapted to the environment here, so he didn't think it was awkward, he just thought it was a little funny.

Just as he was humming the chorus part of the song, Kuai Liang and Zuo Ci came.

Ling Yan hurriedly stopped his mouth—he didn't want others to feel like he was a psychopath—beckoned the two men to sit down.

After Kuai Liang sat down, he smiled at Ling Yan and said, "I was just about to come to report the military situation to General Yan, and I happened to meet the national teacher, so I came together." ”

Ling Yan had been thinking about Yu Yigen's injury in his heart, and when he saw that Zuo Ci was also there, he hurriedly asked, "National Teacher, how is General Yu's injury?" Does that herb work? ”

Zuo Ci smiled, with a relaxed face, and replied: "Fortunately, General Zuo's internal qi joined, I thought it was General Yu's injury last night, depending on the situation, it has improved greatly, if there is no accident, General Yu will be cured in a month." ”

Ling Yan was overjoyed: "Really? That's great! ”

Zuo Ci nodded, and said: "It's just that General Yu's body is weak during this time, and he must not be moved, otherwise the old wound will recur, and it will be difficult to heal." ”

Ling Yan said happily: "Well, then during this time, I will ask the national teacher to take good care of him, and I will also order someone to cook him more delicious food and make up for him." ”

Zuo Ci smiled and nodded: "This time, General Yu was saved, Colonel Zuo surrendered, and the general got two more fierce generals, congratulations!" ”

When Ling Yan heard Zuo Ci's words, his heart was full of joy: "By the way, how is General Zhang's injury?" ”

Zuo Ci replied: "General Zhang's injuries are no longer serious. ”

Ling Yan couldn't help but praise Zuo Ci again and again.

At this time, Kuai Liang took out a bill and said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, I investigated the situation in the city in the morning, and in addition to the surrender of Zuo School, all the things that our army made up in the city were recorded. ”

Ling Yan suddenly became interested: "Okay, General Kuai told me about it." ”

Kuai Liang read through the things he had recorded one by one—the items recorded in the account were all the items in Juye Castle that could be used to replenish the army, including stored grain and grass, soldiers that could be requisitioned, horses and cloths, weapons and armor, and various things needed for the march.

After listening to this, Ling Yan nodded with satisfaction, thought for a while, and said, "The grain and grass here is enough to supplement our army, but the most important problem we have now is that there are too many casualties among soldiers and horses, and there are not enough troops. Even if the dozen or so Yellow Turban soldiers of Colonel Zuo surrendered to us, it would still not be enough. If you want to attack other cities again, it will be a little difficult to rely on these soldiers alone. ”

Kuai Liang and Zuo Ci both nodded, agreeing with Ling Yan's opinion.

"So, let's recruit as many troops as we can." Ling Yan looked at Kuai Liangdao.

Kuai Liang said: "Yes." Then he will go and take care of it. ”

"Hmm......" Ling Yan thought for a while, "General Kuai, accompany me to see Liu Shi in a while, I want to thank him in person." ”

Kuai Liang agreed. After Zuo Ci retreated, Ling Yan took Kuai Liang to find Liu Hui, and then asked Liu Hui to take them to his home.

Liu Hui seemed a little flattered, and said several times that he would let his father come to the mansion to meet Ling Yan in person, but Ling Yan thought that this seemed to be very insincere, and insisted on refusing, so he had to go to Liu Hui's house. Liu Hui had no choice but to take Ling Yan and Kuai Liang to his house.

Seeing Liu Shi, Ling Yan was naturally very happy and thanked him again and again.

Liu Shi looked very happy after learning that Ling Yan had defeated Colonel Zuo and captured Juye City.

Originally, Ling Yan planned for him to invite Liu Shi's father and son to eat in the mansion, but Liu Shi let his son cook on the spot. Ling Yan felt that his kindness was difficult to shake, so he agreed to Liu Shi's proposal.

While eating, Liu Hui couldn't help but ask Ling Yan what the "Blood Poison" was. Ling Yan didn't want to deceive them, so he did his best to explain in detail, but looking at Liu Shi and Liu Hui's confused expressions, Ling Yan knew that they didn't understand a few words at all.

However, although Liu Shi and Liu Hui didn't understand well, their doubts were answered after all, so from their expressions, it could be seen that they were still very satisfied. In addition to being happy, Liu Shi "recommended" Liu Hui to Ling Yan again, wanting Liu Hui to join Ling Yan's army, and Liu Hui immediately expressed his willingness.

But Ling Yan had already thought about this matter, he felt that Liu Hui did not have much role in the army except for cooking more deliciously, and Liu Hui did not understand martial arts, nor did he have internal qi, in case of any danger, he would even have a problem with self-preservation. Therefore, after thinking only for a moment, Ling Yan rejected Liu Shi's proposal and sincerely explained the reason, and then he told Liu Shi about his plan to take them to the Great Victory City after returning from the crusade.

This meal, although the meal was not very rich, Ling Yan ate it to the fullest.

By the time Ling Yan and Kuai Liang left Liu Shi's house, it was already late at night. Liu Hui was going to follow Ling Yan back to the mansion, but Ling Yan still let him stay at home to accompany Liu Shi.

After Ling Yan returned to the General's Mansion, he fell asleep when he returned to his room......

Two days later, Ling Yan celebrated the victory in the palace and feasted the generals. Zuo Xiao was also invited, but he said that he was not in good health, so he did not participate. Ling Yan could also be considerate, so he was not reluctant.

Everyone drank this meal happily, and Ling Yan was also very drunk......

In the next few days, Ling Yan was busy with the affairs of the city and the rest of the soldiers and horses, and Kuailiang's recruitment work also made some progress, recruiting more than 1,000 soldiers from Juye City. This is not easy, because when Zuo Colonel defended the city, he had already killed most of the able-bodied people. These thousand people still saw that Ling Yan was very good to the people, so they came voluntarily.

Ling Yan also went to visit Zhang Min and Yu Yigen. Under Zuo Ci's treatment, Zhang Min's injuries gradually healed; Although Yu Yigen has not recovered, with the help of Zuo Xueqi, his complexion is getting better day by day, and he is out of danger of life.

Ling Yan naturally took the time to go to see Colonel Zuo. In the past few days, Colonel Zuo rarely went out of the room, I don't know if it was because he had lost his internal qi and had no confidence, but his words and deeds after seeing Ling Yan were not as arrogant as before. Ling Yan saw that his face was pale and his expression was dull, and he was still a little moved in his heart.

However, Zuo Xiao just consumed too much internal qi, not injured, so he was just a little weak, but his sanity and actions were still as usual, every time Ling Yan went to see him, the two of them would chat for a while, Zuo Xiao did not have the previous violence and indifference, so after chatting a few times, Ling Yan felt quite pleasant.

On this day, Ling Yan was thinking about the next plan of action in his room, when a soldier came in and reported, "General Yan, General Zuo asks to see you." ”

Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Please come in." ”

After Colonel Zuo came in, Ling Yan hurriedly gave him a seat: "General Zuo, please take a seat, why don't you rest in the room?" ”

Although Colonel Zuo's face was still a little bad, he was in good spirits, and he reluctantly smiled: "After a few days of rest, I have almost recovered." As he spoke, he sat down opposite Ling Yan.

Ling Yan looked at Colonel Zuo's face carefully: "General Zuo, are you really fine?" If you're still not feeling well, go and rest. ”

Colonel Zuo waved his hand: "It's just a loss of internal qi, it's not a big deal." In the past few days, I have been in the room, and I am just trying to recover my internal energy. ”

Ling Yan was taken aback: "General Zuo...... Then you've ...... Restored the internal qi in the body? ”

Colonel Zuo laughed "hummed": "How can you recover after losing so much internal qi?" However, I have mobilized my internal strength and recovered a little. ”

I don't know why, Ling Yan suddenly felt very sorry for Colonel Zuo: "General Zuo, thank you...... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid General Yu wouldn't have saved ......"

Colonel Zuo didn't say anything, but asked indifferently: "How is Yu Yigen now?" ”

Ling Yan smiled: "General Yu has improved now, and it is estimated that he will be cured in a month or two." ”

Colonel Zuo didn't show a hint of joy, but said: "General Yan, Yu Gengen doesn't even have internal qi in his body, he is not a good general at all, why does the general care so much about his life and death?" What is the use of rescuing the living? ”

Ling Yan smiled: "I admit that Yu Yigen is much worse than you, General Zuo...... But he is a brave general after all, and it is always beneficial to have one more general! ”

Colonel Zuo seemed to disagree with Ling Yan's point of view: "It's such a useless person, who will only drag down the army, how can he go on the field and kill the enemy?" If you can't kill the enemy, you're no different from a waste! ”

Ling Yan said with a smile: "When you go on the field to kill the enemy, you don't need to use him, I now have General Zuo, a fierce general, why worry about not killing the enemy?" ”

Although Colonel Zuo had no expression on his face, his tone was a little softer: "With my current internal qi, I can't help the general!" ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said, "It's okay with this...... If the general can recover his internal qi on his own, I can give the general time to recover. ”

Colonel Zuo was slightly stunned: "This time to treat Yu Zhenggen's wounds, it hurt my internal qi a lot, if you want to recover, it will be a few months later, and it will take more than a month at the earliest, how can you wait?" Isn't the general going to continue the siege! ”

Ling Yan said: "General Zuo is willing to help me save General Yu, and I am naturally willing to wait for General Zuo to recover his internal qi before marching forward...... In that case, it will be good for me to enter the army, right? ”

Colonel Zuo stared at Ling Yan for a while, and then said slowly: "The general promised to wait for me to recover my internal qi, and the school is grateful." ”

Ling Yan hurriedly smiled: "What General Zuo said, I should agree to it, and it can be regarded as repaying the general for General Yu!" ”

Colonel Zuo sighed: "I went to see my soldiers just now, and the general did not embarrass them, and I am grateful...... It's just that they don't have internal qi, so ......"

Although Colonel Zuo didn't say any more, Ling Yan also knew what he wanted to say, and said with a smile: "General Zuo, don't worry, I promise you, I will let all the internal qi of your soldiers recover." ”

Colonel Zuo was a little surprised, and then turned into doubt: "General Yan...... Can you tell me why they all lose their energy? ”

Ling Yan didn't plan to hide it from Colonel Zuo anymore, so he said: "General Zuo, since I have already obtained you, General, then I naturally have to treat each other with sincerity, there is nothing I can't say." In fact, the reason why the internal qi of those soldiers disappeared was very simple, that is, they were all poisoned - the 'poison of blood'. ”

"'Poison of Blood'?" Colonel Zuo frowned, "What kind of poison is this?" ”

Ling Yan explained the medicinal properties and pharmacology of this poison to Zuo Xiao in detail - of course, Zuo Xiao is not like Liu Shi and his son, he is proficient in internal qi and can naturally understand what Ling Yan said.

"It turned out to be refined by the national teacher!" After listening to Ling Yan's explanation, Colonel Zuo sighed in surprise, and then nodded as if he had figured it out, "Hmm...... With such a clever method of drug production, I am afraid that no one else can understand it except the national teacher. ”

Ling Yan nodded: "I have been poisoned by this poison once before, and I have felt the feeling of internal qi consumption. ”

Colonel Zuo only thought for a moment: "That General Yan is now healed?" It's the antidote given by the national teacher, right? ”

Ling Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes." So, General Zuo, you don't have to worry, I just ask the national teacher to give the soldiers an antidote when I have time. ”

Colonel Zuo hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, General Yan!" General Wangyan will restore their internal qi as soon as possible, so that they can kill the enemy on the battlefield! ”
