All the generals happily retreated, Ling Yan also returned to his room, packed up his things, and he was going to take the "Green Capsule Book" with him - this time, I don't know how long, with the secret law book, I can still cultivate the internal qi when I have time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After packing up, he also took a closer look at the pistol and the moon slasher, which were the two most important weapons for him to save his life, so naturally he couldn't ignore them.

After everything was sorted out, Ling Yan saw that it was still early, so he went to Cong'er.

When Cong'er learned that Ling Yan was going to lead the troops out of the Great Victory City again, his expression was gloomy, and his mouth was sobbing, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, just said something that made Ling Yan extremely careful. Ling Yan promised again and again, he told Cong'er that there was no danger in sending troops this time, and assured Cong'er that he would definitely return safely and let Cong'er take good care of himself.

Ling Yan accompanied Cong'er until dark, and in the end, he had to leave Cong'er's residence because he thought that Ling Renxiang would have a banquet to entertain him at night.

At the banquet after that, everyone drank very happily, without the slightest worry and nervousness about the battle, perhaps they had long wanted to go to the battlefield to "get over their hands", and now they had this opportunity, so they were naturally very happy; Or maybe they thought that Ling Yan and the others could easily complete the task this time, so they didn't have to worry too much. In fact, even Ling Yan himself wasn't too worried about the upcoming battle, so he made an exception and drank a lot of alcohol before staggering back to his residence.

Early the next morning, Ling Yan led the army to set off.

Before leaving, Ling Yan held a "short meeting" with You Heng and other six generals who traveled with him in the council hall, and ordered Kuai Liang to bring three deputy generals to escort grain and grass; Ordered Yang Feng to lead 4,000 infantry as the vanguard. The soldiers and horses of the two roads went out of the city first. Lü Gong, You Heng, Wen Ping, and Deng Yi followed Ling Yan with an army.

After everything was arranged, someone came to report: "General Yan, all the soldiers and horses have gathered outside the city, and General Ling is also waiting for the general to go." ”

Ling Yan hurriedly packed up the things he wanted to carry and walked towards the outside of the city.

As soon as he came to the city gate, he saw Ling Renxiang and Cong'er, as well as a group of civil and military officers who were already waiting there.

Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly walked over.

Ling Renxiang greeted him and smiled at Ling Yan: "Brother, Cong'er knows that you are going out of the city, so he has been waiting for you here for a long time." ”

Cong'er was originally standing behind Ling Renxiang, but when she heard Ling Renxiang's words, she walked in front of Ling Yan, her face was sad, her eyebrows were slightly crappy, and her eyes seemed to be shining: "Brother Ling Yan......"

Ling Yan smiled comfortingly at her: "Cong'er, I went out this time, although it will take a long time, there will be no danger, you can rest assured, I will definitely be able to return safely." ”

Cong'er pursed her lips, but didn't let the tears flow out of her eyes. After a long pause, she nodded lightly and whispered, "Brother Ling Yan, take care...... Be sure to come back safely and don't worry Cong'er. ”

A warm current flowed through Ling Yan's heart, and his heart was so hot that he almost cried, but he still smiled and said, "Hmm! Definitely! ”

Cong'er glanced up at Ling Yan, revealing a hint of a smile, and then silently stepped aside.

Ling Renxiang also comforted Cong'er at this time and said, "Cong'er, don't worry, it'll be fine." After speaking, he said to Ling Yan again: "Brother, these generals have also come to bid for you." ”

The generals behind Ling Renxiang clenched their fists and said to Ling Yan at the same time: "Waiting for General Yan's victory!" ”

Ling Yan smiled and walked towards the outside of the city with Ling Renxiang. Cong'er didn't follow, but stood in place, looking at Ling Yan's back in a bit of a daze.

"Brother, this time we went to crusade against the Yellow Turban Thief, we won't be able to see each other for half a year or a few months," Ling Renxiang said in a low voice, with helplessness in his tone, "If it weren't for the fact that there was something here, I would have gone with you." ”

Ling Yan was also reluctant, so he comforted: "Brother, as soon as I finish the task, I will come back immediately." ”

Ling Renxiang nodded, and remembered something again: "Brother, when you go this time, you must be careful, the moon slashing knife and pistol, you must carry it with you." ”

"yes, I know." As he spoke, Ling Yan took out his pistol from behind him, took down the magazine, and let Ling Renxiang take a look, "I've checked it carefully, it's full...... I was afraid that it was not enough, and I brought a few rounds of ammunition with me. ”

Ling Renxiang said: "Brother, this crusade, there must be a lot of enemies, and the bullets are still spared, after all, this is our most advanced self-defense weapon." ”

Ling Renxiang nodded with a smile and put away the pistol.

As they spoke, they were already outside the city.

Ling Yan looked at the empty field, at this time, it was neatly full of soldiers ready to set off, and under the sunlight, the armor on the soldiers' bodies flashed with dazzling reflections; The neat rows of flags with the big word "Ling" written on them fluttered happily in the wind, making a pleasant "whoosh" sound; And the war horse specially prepared for the main general in front of him, with a strong white body and a suitable silver shield, looked majestic.

Ling Yan was infected by the majestic military power in front of him, and he only felt that his qi and blood were surging, and his blood was boiling. After shaking hands with Ling Renxiang, he said firmly: "Brother, I'm leaving!" ”

After speaking, Ling Yan turned over and jumped on the war horse beside him, and gave an order in a righteous manner: "Go!" ”

With Ling Yan's order, the brigade set off in a majestic manner.

This was the first time that Ling Yan had led the army on a long journey in the true sense, so his heart was still very excited, and on the way, he kept discussing with You Heng and Wen Ping beside him how to deal with the enemy army.

When it was almost night, Ling Yan and the others arrived at Suke City. When the soldiers in the city heard that Ling Yan was leading the army to arrive, they hurriedly opened the door and let Ling Yan and the others into the city.

Ling Yan ordered the soldiers to camp outside the city to rest, and he met Kuai Liang, who was one step ahead of him and was responsible for escorting grain and grass, and after asking a few words, he found the temporary Taishou of Suke City overnight, asked about the situation in Suke City, and handed Ling Renxiang's letter to him.

This Taishou is called Pang Ji, Ling Yan has a little impression of this person, he is a strategist under the original Liu Biao, after Lu Tiecheng left Suke City, he let him temporarily take charge of city affairs.

Pang Ji read the letter and said, "General Yan, my subordinates will immediately dispatch 60,000 elite soldiers and generals. As for the generals, do the subordinates need to summon all the generals here at once? ”

Ling Yan shook his hand: "Don't be so troublesome. If you have Lao Taishou tell me their names, I'll pick a few. ”

Pang Ji agreed, found the roster, and read the names of the generals in the city one by one.

After Ling Yan heard this, he frowned slightly. None of these names are outstanding, but a few have a slight impression.

After thinking about it, Ling Yan suddenly asked Pang Ji, "Pang Taishou, do you know who among these generals has cultivated internal qi?" ”

Pang Ji replied: "Regarding the matter of internal qi, my subordinates know a little bit about it, but who among them knows this technique, Ji doesn't know. ”

In fact, Ling Yan didn't have much hope, these little-known generals had too low a chance of having internal qi.

Ling Yan recalled the names that Pang Ji had read just now, and picked one of the names that was more impressive: "Hmm...... Then let General Zhang Yi come with me. ”

"Yes." Pang Ji agreed, "My subordinates will do it." With that, he withdrew.

After a whole day's walking, Ling Yan felt tired now, although he was sitting on a horse, but it was not a good thing to have a bumpy butt, and now that he was temporarily comfortable, he immediately fell asleep.

Ling Yan came to the bed and lay down without taking off his clothes. Just when he was about to fall asleep in a daze, someone suddenly came in and said, "General Yan, General Kuai, please see you." ”

Ling Yan was so sleepy, but he knew that he couldn't stop Kuai Liang from seeing him because of this, so he sat up and said vaguely, "Please let him in." ”

After a while, Kuai Liang walked in and arched his hand towards Ling Yan: "My subordinates disturb the general's rest, and I hope the general will forgive me." ”

Saying this, it made Ling Yan feel embarrassed, he quickly sobered himself up, and said with a smile: "Don't bother, don't bother, I haven't rested yet, no, I just finished talking to Pang Taishou." ”

Kuai Liang asked, "The supplement ...... for the soldiers and horses?"

"He has already done it, and I have picked another general, General Zhang Yi, to accompany the army." Ling Yan said.

Kuai Liang nodded thoughtfully, but it seemed that he was not thinking about this matter, and after a while, he suddenly said: "General Yan, I don't know where my brother is now?" I wanted to see him, but I couldn't find him. ”
