"Humph!" The military general was furious, snorted, and his lips trembled with anger, "If General Yan has nothing else to do, the last general will leave!" "Wow, without waiting for Ling Yan to speak, he walked out directly in stride. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"The last general will take his leave." "General Wangyan calmed his anger and took his leave." After the rest of the generals coldly "comforted" Ling Yan a few words, they all left one after another.

"Finally got revenge on those arrogant guys!" Ling Yan finally felt a little balanced in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Lu Gong was so frightened just now that he didn't dare to say a word, and only after those civil and military generals had left did he stammered and shouted softly at Ling Yan: "Yan ...... General Yan. ”

"General Lu, don't care." Ling Yan smiled and motioned for Lu Gong to approach.

Lu Gong hurriedly walked over.

Ling Yan's expression became very serious, and he asked Gong Lu in a low voice: "General Lu, we will set off tomorrow to intercept the enemy, how many soldiers and horses do you think it is appropriate to bring us, so that we can win a big victory in one fell swoop?" ”

Seeing that Ling Yan completely regarded him as a general, Lu Gong couldn't help but be very excited in his heart: "General Yan, in my humble opinion...... To intercept and kill the defeated soldiers, there is no need for too many soldiers and horses, as long as the general leads the troops to intercept and kill the defeated soldiers head-on, and then ambush a strange soldier in the dark. After the enemy has lost a battle, and is attacked by the general and the ambush soldiers, they will be frightened, and then we will have a great victory. ”

Hearing what Lu Gong said, Ling Yan couldn't help nodding, he really felt that not letting Lu Gong be a general was really burying a general.

After Lu Gong left, Ling Yan went straight to You Heng's residence.

As soon as he saw Ling Yan, You Heng said, "Brother Xian, I heard that you are going out of the city tomorrow to meet the enemy?" ”

Ling Yan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

You Heng was puzzled and asked, "There are dozens of good generals in the city, why should the virtuous brother go out in person?" ”

Ling Yan said helplessly: "My brother asked me to send someone to intercept and kill the defeated soldiers, but those generals didn't go, so I had to go." ”

You Heng wondered, "Why don't they go?" ”

Ling Yan sighed and told You Heng about what happened in the council hall.

When You Heng heard this, he was shocked and angry: "How can this be true! ”

Ling Yan was actually a little puzzled in his heart: "Brother You, why don't those generals listen to my orders?" ”

After pondering for a moment, You Heng said, "Maybe you haven't made meritorious service yet, so you have entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, and you are not convinced...... Moreover, they may also want to use this to show their loyalty to General Ling. ”

Ling Yan was puzzled, and asked again: "Brother You, I can understand this point of 'not obeying the public', but my brother personally said that after he leaves, all the generals will obey my orders, and if they really want to show loyalty, they should listen to my orders." ”

You Heng shook his head and replied, "Brother Xian, although General Ling has said this, that group of civil and military personnel only fears General Ling...... There is a saying in the army: 'General Ling is a god descended from heaven, and he must not be an enemy or disobey the will of heaven.' The group of civil and military officers also once said, 'I only listen to General Ling's orders.' ’”

"Oh, I see." Ling Yan muttered to himself, then waved his hand, "Forget it, don't bother with them." I thought to myself: I can be regarded as having recklessly and saving face later, so I should have a draw with them.

You Heng said to Ling Yan with a worried face: "Brother Xian, this time you go out of the city to fight the enemy, it is very dangerous, let me go with you!"

Ling Yan smiled: "Brother You, don't worry, I just promoted a general, and there shouldn't be any problem with him accompanying me." ”

"Whom?" You Heng asked.

"This person was originally just a nobody, but I feel that he is very strategic in battle, and his martial arts must not be very bad, so I promoted him." Ling Yan said with a smile.

You Heng frowned: "Brother Xian, it is not child's play to fight against the enemy, and it is too reckless to send only a person who has just been promoted from a soldier to a general to fight with you. ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Brother You, don't worry, I won't let myself be in danger easily." ”

You Heng was still not at ease, and said resolutely: "No, I'll go with you, I can still help you in case of crisis." ”

Ling Yan thought about it, what You Heng said was also reasonable, and besides, You Heng was so insistent on helping, if he brushed off his kindness again, it would be a little too much to say.

Ling Yan nodded, and said gratefully, "Then thank you, big brother!" ”

"That's good! Virtuous brother, let's rest early this morning and recuperate our spirits, so that we can go out of the city tomorrow to meet the enemy! ”

After coming out of You Heng's place, Ling Yan felt a little more sure of the upcoming battle, and his heart suddenly became much more steady.

Ling Yan did not return to his own residence, but went to Cong'er first.

Cong'er heard that Ling Yan was going out of the city to fight tomorrow, but he refused to do so, and cried again. Ling Yan comforted him softly for a long time before he reluctantly made sense of Cong'er.

When Ling Yan returned to his residence, it was already midnight. Lying in bed, he couldn't sleep at all, and his mind was full of thoughts about setting out tomorrow to meet the enemy. After all, it was the first time to personally lead troops to fight, and while I was a little nervous, I was more excited about anticipation.

I don't know how long it took for Ling Yan to fall asleep groggyly.

Early the next morning, Ling Yan personally ordered 8,000 infantry, 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 archers, Bai Lu Gong as the general, and You Heng as the right general.

Not long after Ling Yan's team set off, another team also quietly left the city and headed in the direction where Ling Yan and the others were traveling.

Ling Yan's army drove for a whole day, and when the sun was about to set in the West Mountain, the scouts in front reported: "Less than five miles ahead, there is a group of enemy soldiers marching towards this side. ”

"It's finally going to happen!" Ling Yan suddenly became nervous.

After looking around, Lu Gong said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, the terrain here is extremely favorable to us, we can deploy troops here, just wait for the enemy to come and send us to death." ”

Ling Yan also looked around: they were on a main road, and on the right was the foot of a densely forested mountain; There is a fork in the road on the left, which is a rough path; There was also a fork in the road behind them, but that fork in the road also led to the Great Victory City.

Ling Yan nodded: "Okay!" We're here to keep watch! As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yan realized that he had said the wrong thing, "waiting for the rabbit" was a derogatory term, so he quickly changed the word: "Oh! No, it's waiting for them to fall into the net! ”

After speaking, Ling Yan looked at Gong Lu: "General Lu, what should we do now?" ”

Lu Gong pointed to the dense forest halfway up the mountain: "As long as General You bring a team of soldiers and horses and go there to ambush, General Mo and General Yan will face the enemy head-on here." Just wait for the enemy to come and meet us, and then we will fight for some time, and when the enemy is completely defenseless to the left and right, you will lead your army down the mountain, and we will surely defeat the enemy. ”

Ling Yan nodded: "Okay!" Just ...... according to General Lu's intentions," after speaking, he looked at You Heng, "Please General You lead a team of people to go up the mountain to ambush immediately." ”

"Yes!" You Heng answered with his fists clenched, and went up the mountain with two thousand infantry and a thousand archers.

Lu Gong set up the rest of the soldiers again, and then said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, you don't need the general to do it himself later, just watch the last general fight with the enemy general!" ”

Ling Yan praised with satisfaction: "General Lu really has the style of a general!" Ling Yan was not polite in this sentence, he was a heartfelt sigh from his heart after seeing Lu Gong's orderly pre-war preparations and Lu Gong's high-spirited and heroic posture, he found that Lu Gong at this time was like the soldier who fled in a hurry before.

When Gong Lu heard Ling Yan praising him, he looked a little embarrassed.

At this time, the scouts came again: the enemy army is only two miles away!

Ling Yan also vaguely seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. After a while, the scouts reported again: the enemy army was less than a mile away!

The sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder, and a high dust mist rolled up in the distance.
