Therefore, the moment Ling Yan turned around, he still heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Ling Yan was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction outside the village, but he was too far away and couldn't see anything.

"General Lu, did you hear anything?" Ling Yan hurriedly asked.

Lu Gong was also startled when he saw Ling Yan's sudden move, and when he heard Ling Yan ask, he also listened carefully: "Hmm...... Hey? There seems to be the sound of horses' hooves. ”

Ling Yan still looked out of the village, and a smile gradually appeared on his face: "Hmm...... Then I heard it right, there was really the sound of horses' hooves. ”

Lu Gong suddenly thought of something: "Ah! General Yan, could it be that Colonel Zuo sent someone? ”

Ling Yan desperately suppressed the excitement in his heart: "It's very possible!" ”

After a while, I saw two people riding two horses, galloping from a distance.

At this time, the soldiers in the camp also heard the sound of horses' hooves and looked outside the village.

The two horsemen soon came to the village.

Getting closer, Ling Yan could see the faces of the two people clearly—he recognized one of them, that person was one of Yang Feng's lieutenants, and the other person, but he hadn't seen it.

However, recognizing one of them, Ling Yan was also relieved - at least the stranger passed through the Qianzhai, maybe there was something important to report, so Yang Feng sent someone to escort him.

The two people came straight to Ling Yan, dismounted not far from Ling Yan, and ran to Ling Yan.

Lu Gong looked at the deputy general and asked, "Aren't you guarding the village in Qianzhai?" Why are you here? Who is he? As he spoke, Lu Gong stretched out his hand and pointed at the stranger.

The lieutenant general clasped his fists at Ling Yan: "General Yan, General Lu." General Yang sent the last general to escort this person to General Yan. ”

"Well, you go back." Ling Yan nodded at the lieutenant general, and then looked at the stranger - the man looked like he was less than thirty years old, he looked very ordinary, his expression looked a little nervous, his eyes were also looking at Ling Yan, his slightly immature face was red at this time, and his chest fell violently together, probably caused by running all the way.

The lieutenant said yes, took his leave, and rode away.

"You...... Are you General Yan? The man gasped and looked at Ling Yan as if he didn't quite believe it.

Ling Yan smiled and nodded: "Come, what's the matter, let's talk about it when we enter the account." ”

The man looked at Ling Yan again, and then nodded.

Ling Yan led the man into the tent, and after giving up his seat, Ling Yan asked the soldier to bring a bowl of water and handed it to the man.

"Thank you......" The man looked a little restrained, picked up the bowl and took a sip.

At this time, Ling Yan smiled and asked the man, "Excuse me, ...... are you?"

When the man heard Ling Yan's question, he quickly stood up again, and replied a little nervously, "General Hui...... I specially cooked for General Zuo's soldiers, and General Zuo sent me to meet the general......"

When Ling Yan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked, "...... you Are you Liu Shi's son? ”

The man hurriedly replied, "Yes! Be! ”

Ling Yan was very happy, and hurriedly stood up and walked quickly in front of the man, and hugged a fist in a proper manner: "Great, I was about to enter Juye City and go to see you!" I didn't expect Colonel Zuo to send you to see me! ”

The man hurriedly hugged his fist at Ling Yan, but he didn't know what to say: "General...... You ......"

Ling Yan laughed: "Don't be afraid, I just want to thank you father and son." I can't thank you enough for risking your lives to help me! You have most of the credit for conquering Juye Castle! ”

The man quickly knelt down: "The general doesn't have to thank me!" The general treated my father very well, and that's what we should do! ”

"Hurry up!" Ling Yan hurriedly helped the man up.

Then the man said, "When my father returned to the city, he found me, told me everything, and told me how to mix the medicine in the vial into my meal...... Actually, it's not that hard, I ...... I just did what my father told me......"

Ling Yan smiled: "This is already meritorious!" You don't know, you're doing me this favor, but it's very important! Otherwise, I wouldn't have defeated Colonel Zuo so easily! ”

The man smiled innocently, and then asked Ling Yan with a little curiosity, "General Yan...... What is the medicine in that bottle? How powerful is it? ”

Ling Yan smiled: "It's really powerful, anyway, as long as the soldiers of Colonel Zuo take that medicine, they won't be able to fight, do you say it's powerful?" Hehe......"

The man's eyes widened, and after a moment, he muttered, "That...... That's really amazing......"

"Otherwise, how did you do me a great favor!" Ling Yan smiled and patted the man's shoulder, "Don't worry, when I enter Juye City, I will repay you well!" ”

The man hurriedly said: "The general is so good to my father, I should do something!" It would be great if the general could attack and defeat General Zuo and come to Juye Castle to protect us people! ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Don't worry! I promise you! ”

The man was very happy, and suddenly remembered what was going on, so he hurriedly said, "By the way, General Yan, General Zuo sent me to deliver a letter to the general." ”

Ling Yanda was excited: "Hmm! Show me! ”

The man took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Ling Yan.

Ling Yan couldn't wait to open the envelope, open the letter and read it.

The letter reads:

To General Yan: The school is grateful for the general's grace in withdrawing the army, and also thanks to the soldiers who did not kill the school's henchmen. If the general insisted on going his own way and forced himself into the city, he would not be able to defend the school, but he would never surrender to the general in the end, and only hoped that dying on the battlefield was the only choice; General Xing understands the righteousness and gives the school another chance; The school was grateful for the general's kindness, and after repeated consideration, he thought that the general's divine army had descended from the sky, and the situation was no longer able to defend Juye, and if the school resisted again, it would be useless, so he decided to surrender to the general, and also dedicated Juye Castle and the general, so he sent the person in charge of making food to meet the general with the school's handwritten letter, in order to show his sincerity. The general can immediately lead the army of Sanzhai into the city, and the school will open the door to wait for the driver.

After reading the letter, Ling Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief—the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. However, while he was extremely excited, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: This Zuo Colonel is really capable of literature and martial arts! This letter is enough to illustrate the resourcefulness of Colonel Zuo!

Ling Yan read the contents of the letter again - this letter seemed to be just Colonel Zuo's "surrender letter", but it said a lot: although it was a "surrender letter", the letter also gave Ling Yan a "dismount" at the beginning: it seemed that he was not afraid of Ling Yan directly attacking the city; then portrayed himself as an unyielding person, and decided to surrender only after being moved by Ling Yan; Then, in order to show his determination to surrender, he sent a man who cooked for them to deliver a letter to prove that his surrender was not a sham or a trap.

"Colonel Zuo is really quite scheming! Even a letter is so well-intentioned! Ling Yan sighed in his heart.

However, since Colonel Zuo was willing to surrender, Ling Yan was very happy, and after reading the letter, Ling Yan smiled and said to Liu Shi's son, "Hehe...... On the letter from Colonel Zuo, he said that he was going to surrender. ”

The man looked at it and was very happy: "Is that really the case? That's great. ”

Ling Yan was happier than the man - all that man thought was that after Ling Yan occupied the city, he would be good to the people; But what Ling Yan thought more about was that as long as Colonel Zuo surrendered, he would not only capture Juye City, but also save Yu Gengen, and more importantly, he had one more general under his account, and he was a brave and resourceful general! If you attack elsewhere in the future, the chances of victory will be greater!

The more Ling Yan thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't wait to fly to Juye City immediately, and after he chatted with that person again, he said, "Since Colonel Zuo has surrendered, then I will go to Juye City immediately, you can go with me...... Oh, by the way, you see, I still don't know your name. ”

The man said humbly: "The grass people's surname is Liu Minghui. ”

Ling Yan also smiled and introduced himself: "Oh, my name is Ling Yan, and I will ...... in the future Let's call me General Yan. Ling Yan originally wanted to say, "Just call me Xiao Yan in the future", but after thinking about it, he had told Liu Shi about it before, and remembered that he scared Liu Shi like that at that time, so Ling Yan changed his words.

"Yes......" Liu Hui agreed, but his expression was a little confused, probably not understanding why Ling Yan would say such a superfluous sentence - in their opinion, it was natural to call officers and soldiers or generals "adults" or "generals"; And they don't dare to imagine the consequences of breaking the rules.

Ling Yan walked to the tent with a smile and asked the soldiers to call Kuai Liang, Zuo Ci and Wen Ping.

After a while, Kuai Liang and the other three came to Ling Yan's tent.

Ling Yan first introduced Liu Hui to Kuai Liang and the others, and when Kuai Liang and the others learned that the person in front of them was the one who poisoned the Zuo Xiaojun on behalf of Ling Yan, they thanked Liu Hui one after another. Liu Hui was flattered and hurriedly returned the gift, looking a little in a hurry, but her simplicity was a little cute.

After that, Ling Yan read Colonel Zuo's letter to Kuai Liang and the others.

After reading the letter, Kuai Liang said to Ling Yan: "General Yan really expected it well, the thief general really surrendered!" ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Colonel Zuo still has a trace of humanity, but he is really good to his soldiers. ”

After reading the letter, Zuo Ci handed it to Wen Ping, and said to Ling Yan: "If he doesn't surrender, there is no way out." ”

"Actually, if Colonel Zuo takes the opportunity to escape, I can't do anything," Ling Yan said with a smile, "Chengchi has gotten it, but such a Colonel Zuo, if you encounter it in the future, it will still be a trouble." ”

Kuai Liang and Zuo Ci nodded.

"This thief! It is surrender, how to write so arrogantly! After reading the letter, Wen Ping was very angry, and shook the letter towards Ling Yan and the others, "Look at what he said in the letter, it seems that if he doesn't surrender, we won't be able to capture the city!" ”

Ling Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, anyway, Colonel Zuo has already surrendered, he wants to save face, I will save some face for him, anyway, it won't matter." After speaking, he said to everyone again, "Since Colonel Zuo has surrendered, I think we should set off immediately and enter Juye City, I'm afraid that it will take a long time and it will be easy to change." ”

Kuai Liang and the others all agreed with Ling Yan's idea.

Ling Yan said again: "I think so, I will go to Juye City with all of you quickly, and the soldiers and horses will arrive later, so that there will be no delay." ”

Wen Ping said: "General Yan, otherwise the last general will go to find out his truth, if Colonel Zuo is cheating, it can also be resolved." ”

Ling Yan confidently stretched out his hand in front of Wen Ping: "No, I don't think Colonel Zuo is lying to me, let's go together." Otherwise, it would not be good to make him suspicious, thinking that we were still doubting his sincerity. ”

Kuai Liang also said: "I think the thief general just wants to bully General Yan, and he has no soldiers and no generals, and there is nothing to do." ”

Ling Yan nodded: "Well, then it's decided...... National teacher, General Wen, you go with me first, General Kuai, you and General Zhang Yi will be in the camp first, wait for the soldiers to finish eating, and then lead the troops to follow...... Oh, by the way, remember to tell General Deng, and wait for him to come to the rendezvous, and then we will go together. ”

"Yes." A few people agreed.

Zuo Ci thought for a while and asked Ling Yan, "General Yan, what about General Yu and General Zhang Min?" ”

Ling Yan had already thought about it: "I want the two of them to go with us, and after meeting Colonel Zuo, I immediately told him about General Yu, and I think he will agree...... As long as he agrees, he also asks the national teacher to immediately heal General Yu's wounds. ”

"Hmm." Zuo Ci agreed.

After everything was decided, Ling Yan immediately got on his horse and set off, with Zuo Ci, Wen Ping, Lu Gong and You Heng accompanying him, and sent four more soldiers to escort Yu Yigen and Zhang Min, and Liu Hui was responsible for taking care of them.

Soon, they came to Qianzhai, and after Ling Yan told Yang Feng about the plan of action, he went towards Juye City without stopping.

The mountain and forest paths at night were not easy to walk, but fortunately they rode fast horses and did not drag them down—Yu Yigen and Zhang Min each rode two horses, driven by soldiers, and they were not slow.

Although it was almost time to get up, an hour had passed when I arrived at Juno Castle.

In the night of Juye Castle, the city is bright, not only on the city, but even the city gate is wide open, and the inside is also bright.

Since there are torches on the top of the city, you can see it clearly. Before Ling Yan arrived at the city, he saw four Yellow Turban soldiers standing on the top of the city, and one of the Yellow Turban soldiers leaned forward, as if he saw Ling Yan and the others, and then, he suddenly withdrew from the city.

Ling Yan was about to continue walking, but You Heng grabbed Ling Yan: "Brother Xian, this city gate is wide open, is there any fraud?" It is not yet known whether Colonel Zuo will truly surrender, and if we pass like this, we may be in danger. ”

"Uh...... It shouldn't be......" Ling Yan looked at You Heng, and then at Juye City, and was a little unsure. Originally, he was sure that Colonel Zuo had really surrendered, but after listening to You Heng's words, and seeing the open door in front of him at first glance, he suddenly thought of Zhuge Liang's "empty city plan" in the story of the Three Kingdoms, and his heart was cold, and he was suddenly not sure of the sincerity of Colonel Zuo's surrender.

Wen Ping frowned and looked at Juye City, which was close at hand, and took the initiative to ask Ling Yan: "General Yan, it's better for the last general to rush into the city first to find out the truth." If it is safe, then General Yan and the generals will come in again; If there is really a deception, the last general will be able to resist it. ”

Lu Gong also took the initiative to ask to go to the city with Wen Ping.

Ling Yan looked at Juye City, which seemed to be completely defenseless, and thought about it carefully before he waved his hand to You Heng and the others: "I think we should go in together!" If Colonel Zuo really surrenders, if we do it again, I am afraid that it will arouse his disgust and unnecessary misunderstanding...... If he really sets a trap, we just need to be more careful and adapt to the situation. ”

You Heng and the others thought about it for a while, then they reluctantly nodded and agreed to Ling Yan's proposal.

Ling Yan added: "Just in case, it's better for everyone to keep a little distance, and be ready to fight at any time." ”

"Yes!" Several of them answered nervously.

Ling Yan looked back again: "Liu Hui, you wait here first, don't go over, and when it's safe, we'll call you again." ”

Liu Hui and the four soldiers all nodded nervously.

Ling Yan gestured to You Heng and the others, and then the five of them rode their horses towards the city gate.

When Ling Yan and the five of them came to the city gate, they saw two Yellow Turban soldiers standing inside the city gate with torches, illuminating the city gate.

Ling Yan was about to enter the city gate and ask where the Yellow Turban soldier Colonel Zuo was, but at this moment, he saw Colonel Zuo walking out of the city on foot.

Colonel Zuo walked very fast, and he came in great strides, so he soon came to Ling Yan's face.

At this time, Ling Yan was completely relieved, he didn't think that Colonel Zuo came to him alone without riding a horse, and there would be any conspiracy.

Colonel Zuo stood in front of Ling Yan, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "The last general, Colonel Zuo, may General Yan descend!" ”

Ling Yan heard Colonel Zuo's words of surrender, and said it very reluctantly. He smiled and said to Colonel Zuo: "General Zuo understands the righteousness, and I admire it. ”

Colonel Zuo estimated that he heard Ling Yan's words to give him face, so he smiled a little bitterly: "General Yan said that he was laughing...... I also hope that the general will ignore his past suspicions. ”

"How can it!" Ling Yan dismounted with a smile, "At that time, we were enemies, and it was natural for us to fight, how could I account for this!" ”

Colonel Zuo clenched his fists again: "Thank you, General Yan!" ”

Ling Yan suddenly had a rather refreshing pleasure at this moment-he was already half a head taller than Colonel Zuo, and now Colonel Zuo was clasping his fists at him, which gave him a sense of superiority of conquest.

"You're welcome!" Ling Yan was so happy that his arm actually put his arm on Colonel Zuo's shoulder, "General Zuo, why don't we go to Fuzhong first." ”

Colonel Zuo's face became very strange, maybe he wasn't used to Ling Yan being so "casual", or maybe he felt insulted.

But after all, he was already a general, and Colonel Zuo didn't express any dissatisfaction, but still smiled at Ling Yan: "General Yan, let's wait until all the general's soldiers and horses are gathered, and then go in." ”

Ling Yan had a trace of doubt and displeasure, and took his arm off Colonel Zuo's shoulder: "General Zuo, why did you wait until all the soldiers and horses had arrived before letting me in?" ”

Wen Ping, who was behind Ling Yan, pointed at Colonel Zuo and said angrily: "You thief general! What kind of tricks are you playing! ”

Colonel Zuo was scolded by Wen Ping like this, and anger instantly appeared on his face, but then this anger disappeared, and he ignored Wen Ping, but said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, it's definitely not the last general to play tricks, I think, but the general can't trust me, right?" ”

Ling Yan was confused when asked: "General Zuo, what do you mean by that?" ”

Colonel Zuo glanced at the outside of the city behind Ling Yan, then looked at Ling Yan again, and said with a smile: "General Yan's soldiers and horses, if the last general is not mistaken, it should be ambushed not far away, right?" ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Ling Yan's mouth.

Colonel Zuo smiled and said, "General Yan, the last general sincerely surrendered, and the general doesn't have to be suspicious anymore, so let's order to invite the soldiers who are in ambush to go into the city to rest!" ”

Ling Yan's smile was even stronger, and when Colonel Zuo finished speaking, he smiled unhurriedly: "General Zuo, since I fought with you, I can't count you every time, and I have suffered so many losses. But apart from the last two of us, I think this is the third time you've miscalculated. ”

Colonel Zuo was stunned suddenly—with his IQ, he would naturally be able to understand the meaning of Ling Yan's words immediately. But after he was stunned for a moment, a look of disbelief appeared on his face, and he glanced at the field outside the city behind Ling Yan a few times, and then looked at Ling Yan with some surprise: "General Yan, could it be...... Are you really coming alone? ”

Ling Yanle said: "Of course not!" Don't they protect me? After speaking, he pointed to Kuai Liang and the others.

Colonel Zuo looked at the four behind Ling Yan, with a slight disdainful expression on his face, and with great doubts, he asked Ling Yan: "It's the five of you, come alone?" ”

Ling Yan saw the contemptuous look in Colonel Zuo's eyes, and he somewhat agreed with Colonel Zuo's concept - if other factors were not counted, the four people such as Wen Ping alone were not Colonel Zuo's opponents at all, even if he added himself, he might not be able to defeat Colonel Zuo.
