"Ahh You Heng sighed, "That Colonel Zuo...... Scared? ”

Ling Yan smiled bitterly, "No...... He is not afraid of me at all, he should have seen that my strength in all aspects is far worse than him, so ...... Even if I wanted to die with him, it was just wishful thinking on my own......"

You Heng groaned: "Colonel Zuo is really so powerful......"

Ling Yan continued: "Although I know that I am not Colonel Zuo's opponent at all, the situation at that time does not allow me to think too much, either I kill Colonel Zuo, or I flee back, or I am killed by him...... Since I can't do the first two, then naturally ......" Speaking of this, Ling Yan picked up the bowl and took a sip of water - he was not thirsty, but suddenly and inexplicably had the urge to shed tears, and he didn't want You Heng to find out, so he used the bowl to cover it. (.coM)

You Heng seemed to see something, and hurriedly comforted Ling Yan and said, "Virtuous brother Shenwei, how can that Yellow Turban ant thief harm each other?" ”

Ling Yan hurriedly wiped his eyes with his hand, wiped away the tears rolling in his eyes, then put down the bowl and smiled sadly: "If I hadn't seen General Yu dead later, I really wouldn't have had the idea of escaping......"

You Heng patted Ling Yan's shoulder comfortingly, and then asked in disbelief: "Brother Xian, I heard that General Yu fell from the city, and he is still alive and did not fall to his death?" ”

Ling Yan reluctantly smiled: "I was also surprised, when I saw him thrown down from the city, I thought that he would definitely die, but it may be that General Yu's life should not be extinguished, or maybe God still wants him to help me crusade against the Yellow Turban Army...... Later, I saw that he was still alive, so I thought that I must escape with General Yu and then heal his wounds......"

You Heng lowered his head slightly—as if he was moved by Ling Yan's words and deeds, and after a while, he raised his head again, and his voice trembled slightly: "Virtuous brother...... Why are you so attentive to a Yellow Turban general......

Ling Yan smiled bitterly: "Maybe this is the difference between me and Colonel Zuo...... General Yu was originally his subordinate, but he didn't care about General Yu's life, and later he probably wanted to use General Yu to blackmail me, so he didn't kill General Yu, but fortunately...... If I were killed by him, General Yu probably wouldn't have survived......"

You Heng said: "Brother Xian, now you and General Yu are all right, but it is the Colonel Zuo, I look at him, time is short!" ”

Ling Yan fell into the memories and continued: "At that time, although I was thinking about how to rescue General Yu, I was surrounded by Colonel Zuo's soldiers, and Colonel Zuo would definitely not let me go...... In the end, didn't I fail to save the general? It's a good thing that you're here, brother, otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here to eat now......"

"This is the duty of the eldest brother, and the virtuous brother should never do this." You Heng said busily.

Ling Yan suddenly thought of something, and smiled bitterly again: "Brother You, when I think about it, the number of times you have saved me is really too much, I don't know when I will be able to pay it back...... I don't say thank you, but in my heart, I always remember it. ”

You Heng was also a little excited by what Ling Yan said, and he put his heart in his heart for a while, and then he suddenly thought of the problem that had not been solved before, so he asked: "By the way, Brother Xian, you said that Colonel Zuo fled last night because of my internal qi, why is this?" ”

As soon as You Heng said this, Ling Yan remembered the previous question, so he pulled the topic back, nodded and said, "Yes...... After that war, my internal qi was almost exhausted, not to mention, I was also hit by more than a dozen internal qi attacks by Colonel Zuo, fortunately, there was a lot of healing internal qi in my body, otherwise, I would definitely have died at that time...... Even so, I was seriously injured. ”

You Heng nodded.

Ling Yan thought for a moment and continued: "Looking back now, Colonel Zuo doesn't seem to have suffered any harm, he was only hit by my 'secret weapon' once. ”

You Heng was a little surprised: "Brother Xian, your 'secret weapon' is so powerful, he was hit but unharmed?" ”

Ling Yan recalled, "Colonel Zuo seems to be using internal qi to protect ...... My 'hidden weapon', although it hit him in the stomach, he has that protective internal qi and doesn't seem to be injured......"

You Heng was even more surprised: "His internal qi can actually be used for protection?" ”

Ling Yan couldn't figure it out: "I don't know how he got it...... In short, after he was hit by my 'hidden weapon', it seemed that nothing had happened......" Speaking of this, Ling Yan was not very puzzled: no matter how powerful the ancient people were, how could they withstand the blows of extremely modern pistols? But the facts are in front of him, after Colonel Zuo was indeed shot, he was still safe and sound, and Ling Yan had to believe it. ()

You Heng was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while, and then he seemed to come to his senses: "That'...... If it is indeed as the virtuous brother said, why was Colonel Zuo injured? ”

Ling Yan thought for a moment, and then said: "I don't know what happened to him, but from various circumstances, I deduce that Colonel Zuo, although he won me, his internal qi has also been greatly consumed, and in the next few days, I see that he is recovering his internal qi." ”

"But Tang Zhou said that Colonel Zuo was injured?" You are puzzled.

Ling Yan smiled: "Colonel Zuo is like this, so treacherous, even if he is a general under him, he will naturally not tell the truth, he is not injured, just say that he is injured, if he is really injured, I guess he will not say that." ”

"Hmm......" You Heng nodded in agreement.

Ling Yan continued: "So when your eldest brother sent an internal qi wave to him, he should not have had a lot of internal qi at that time, so after resisting your internal qi attack in a hurry, he even consumed some internal qi, so his heart was weak, so he didn't care about killing me and ran away." ”

"Hmm...... What the virtuous brother said makes sense. You Heng nodded again.

Ling Yan smiled a little luckily: "Actually, my internal qi has been consumed more, until now my internal qi has not recovered, and the injuries on my body are not completely healed, not to mention at that time, if Colonel Zuo insisted on going his own way at that time and had to kill me, it would still be nine out of ten...... Ha, it's a pity he missed that great opportunity. ”

You Heng couldn't laugh, but said, "He will never have this opportunity again in the future." ”

"I hope so," Ling Yan said with a smile, suddenly remembering something, and said, "Brother You, later I checked those Yellow Turban soldiers who emitted internal qi to see if their bodies were any different from other ordinary soldiers. ”

"Oh? What did you find out? You Heng asked.

"I didn't ...... I look at their bodies, they are no different from ordinary soldiers," Ling Yan said this, his expression turned melancholy, "So, I have a guess, will it be Colonel Zuo......"

Before Ling Yan finished speaking, You Heng understood what Ling Yan meant, and immediately picked it up and said, "Brother Xian means that the soldier's internal qi comes from Colonel Zuo's body?" ”

"I'm just worried about this ......" Ling Yan frowned, "How could an ordinary soldier cultivate an internal qi that even some generals can't cultivate?" And more than 200 people at once? ”

You Heng thought about it carefully, but he didn't come up with a reason, so he didn't speak.

Ling Yan saw that You Heng was silent in thought, so he continued: "If the internal qi of those Yellow Turban soldiers is really all given by Colonel Zuo, then ...... How strong the internal qi of the left school will be! ”

You Heng didn't know what he had in mind, and muttered: "That thief general of the left school, all the internal qi is indeed the same as the Yellow Turban thief soldier...... After speaking, he looked at Ling Yan, "Brother Xian, what you said is indeed possible...... Brother Xian, the internal qi you use is in contact with me, so naturally it cannot be passed on, but all the internal qi of Colonel Zuo and his thieves are extremely similar, this is ...... I don't know if I can figure it out......"

Ling Yan didn't know if the internal qi could be transmitted to ordinary people casually, but since Colonel Zuo was able to use the internal qi to form a protective film similar to that of protecting himself, who could guarantee that he would not be able to transmit the internal qi in his body to the soldiers?

Ling Yan sighed: "If he only passes it on to the soldiers, then I'm not too worried, his internal qi is dispersed, and to some extent, it can also weaken some of Colonel Zuo's internal qi...... I'm afraid that he will lose again this time because he consumed his internal qi last time, and in a hurry, he will transfer the internal qi of those soldiers back to his body......"

"This ...... Is it possible? This kind of thing seems to be beyond your comprehension.

"I don't know...... Ling Yan said worriedly, "but I'm afraid he has the ability...... I think it's ...... If he transmitted the internal qi of those dozens of soldiers back into his body, how strong would he become......"

You Heng's face also changed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Didn't that virtuous brother already kill dozens of Yellow Turban thieves?" ”

Ling Yan's expression was slightly soothing: "That's right...... But he still has nearly a hundred soldiers......"

"Hmm......" You Heng didn't say anything more.

Ling Yan exhaled: "Anyway, these are just speculations, the internal qi in those soldiers' bodies may not be Colonel Zuo's, but ...... I really can't figure it out, it wasn't given to them by Colonel Zuo, so how did they have the internal qi? Could it be that they really cultivated it themselves? ”

You Heng also didn't know why, and his face was tangled.

Ling Yan suddenly sighed: "Alas! Colonel Zuo, although he is a yellow turban thief, I have to admit that he is indeed a general...... Last night's serial plan, Colonel Zuo's design was really clever, I was lucky, so I didn't fall for his strategy, if it wasn't for the national teacher reminding me, I'm afraid I would have been defeated again......"

You Heng didn't say anything, just looked at Ling Yan.

Ling Yan then said: "Zuo Colonel is both civil and military, and there are more than 100 powerful Yellow Turban soldiers under his command, no wonder he can be called the 'Western God General'...... It would be nice if he voluntarily surrendered to our army...... Alas! No wonder the Yellow Turban thieves are so difficult to get rid of, they have such a number one person as Zuo Xiao, it is really a big trouble for the imperial court, no wonder the imperial court can't get rid of the soldiers and horses, and they have to order us to crusade against ......"

You Heng nodded: "That being said, the Yellow Turban Thieves are going against the sky and are bound to get rid of them." ”

"Well," Ling Yan didn't sympathize with the Yellow Turban Army in his heart, "The crusade is to be defeated, but the Yellow Turban Army has the 'Western God General' of Colonel Zuo, which is enough to give us a headache, but I heard that they have other 'God Generals' besides Colonel Zuo, didn't General Yu say that Colonel Zuo is just one of the 'Four Divine Generals'......"

You Heng nodded, cheered up Ling Yan and said, "Brother Xian, as long as we capture Juye first and defeat Colonel Zuo, the Yellow Turban Thief will be terrified, and no matter what 'god general' is, he will not dare to fight with our army!" ”

Ling Yan thought about it, but this topic returned to the issue of attacking Juye City, it seems that other problems are in vain, the first priority is to find a way to take Juye City.

After the two of them chatted about something while eating again, You Heng got up and said goodbye.

After You Heng left, Ling Yan probably felt tired because he had just finished eating, and he didn't think about the siege anymore, but fell asleep again.

The next day, after Ling Yan got up, he went to inspect the village, and also saw the head of Tang Zhou in front of the village. He found that he didn't know whether it was because of a hard-won victory before, or because of the head hanging high in the air, the morale of the soldiers was very high, not at all like the previous days.

Ling Yan was in a very good mood when he saw this scene, and after returning to the tent, he called a team of scouts and ordered them to go to Juye City to investigate, and after the scouts promised to withdraw, he began to think about how to attack Juye City again.

Just when Ling Yan wanted to think about the headache of the siege plan, Zuo Ci entered the tent: "General Yan." ”

Ling Yan hurriedly stood up and gave Zuo Ci a seat: "The national teacher is here, is there anything wrong?" ”

Zuo Ci said: "A certain person came to report to General Yan about the injuries of General Zhang and General Yu. ”

Ling Yan was secretly nervous in his heart: "National Teacher, what's wrong with the two generals?" ”

Zuo Ci replied truthfully: "General Zhang's body is still very weak, but there is no major problem, as long as he recuperates for a while, he will get better......"

Ling Yan was half relieved, but after seeing that Zuo Ci finished speaking, he didn't say it immediately, his face was also a little hesitant, and he hurriedly asked, "National Teacher, what about General Yu?" ”

Zuo Ci said: "One of the medicinal materials needed for 'Qi and Blood Escape' will soon be used up, if you can't find anything that can be replaced, General Yu is afraid that it will ......" Zuo Ci did not continue, but replaced it with a sigh.

Ling Yan immediately became anxious: "National Teacher, the remaining medicinal materials are enough to heal for a few days?" ”

Zuo Ci said: "It's only enough for three days." ”

Ling Yan thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...... I see, I'll march as soon as possible. ”

Zuo Ci said: "General Yan, why don't I go to the nearby mountains in the next few days to see if there are any such medicinal materials." ”

Ling Yan said: "National Teacher, haven't you already gone to see it...... You don't have to go, let's find a way to attack the city...... Since the national teacher has calculated that General Yu's life should not be extinguished, then I will try to ask Colonel Zuo to help. ”

Zuo Ci hesitated and said, "General Yan, if the observation is not accurate, or there is a mistake, please ask the general to decide." ”

"National Teacher, I want to ask a question, just talking about Colonel Zuo's internal qi, is it really enough to save the general?" Ling Yan asked.

Zuo Ci nodded and replied, "According to what the general said, it is true. ”

"Okay, then I'll figure it out." Ling Yan smiled.

Zuo Ci took his leave and left.

Ling Yan frowned, thinking of a specific way - he felt that the difficulty of attacking the city was not particularly great, but if he wanted to be the left school, it was even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

On the second day, the scouts reported: "There is no movement in Juye City, the city gate is closed, and there are a few Yellow Turban soldiers guarding the city. ”

Ling Yan asked the Yellow Turban soldiers about their attire, and the scout replied that they were all soldiers in armor.

Ling Yan knew that this was due to the lack of garrisons in the city, so Colonel Zuo replaced his soldiers to defend the city tower.

Ling Yan knew that now was the best time to siege the city - the defense in the city was weak, and Colonel Zuo was also injured, if there were really reinforcements to save him, it would be really difficult to do.

Ling Yan asked You Heng, Kuai Liang and others to discuss, and they all agreed to take advantage of the victory and immediately march into the army.

Ling Yan thought carefully for another night and fell asleep very late.

On the morning of the third day, Ling Yan found all the generals of the three camps and announced the specific plan to attack Juye.

"Generals, the day before yesterday, we defeated the Yellow Turban Thieves, and the military prestige was greatly boosted, but now the Yellow Turban Thieves are in confusion and their troops are weak, and it is the best time for our army to attack." Ling Yan said loudly to everyone.

"What the general said is extremely true, and I hope to attack as soon as possible to prevent changes." Yang Fengdao.

All the generals agreed with this proposal.

"Hmm." Ling Yan nodded, "Then we will march into the army tonight, leave some people in the camp to guard the village, and the rest will follow me to attack Juye City." ”

Some generals suggested that Ling Yan was injured and only stayed in the camp, and Wen Ping said peacefully: "General Yan is injured, it is not appropriate to lead the troops to fight, just send us into the army, and we will never be disappointed." ”

Ling Yan shook his head and said, "As the main general, but not bearing the brunt of the attack, this is not good for the morale of the army...... It doesn't matter what my injuries are, I'm almost healed, there's no problem, don't worry. Ling Yan's theory was completely learned from watching the story of the Three Kingdoms, and he knew that in leading the troops in battle, the attitude of the main general largely determined the outcome of the battle.

When everyone heard Ling Yan's words, they were all moved.

Next, Ling Yan announced the specific plan that he had thought of a long time ago: "General Zhang and General Yu are injured, so they will recuperate in the camp; National Teacher, General Kuailiang, stayed in Zhongzhai; General Deng also guarded the back village; General Yang guards the front village. The rest of the generals followed me to lead their troops to attack. ”

"Yes!" All answered together.

After the deployment was completed, Ling Yan asked the others to go down first and prepare for themselves, while he came to the gate of the village and told a soldier that at night, take down Tang Zhou's head.

After that, Ling Yan returned to the tent and began to heal his wounds—this was the first time he had healed so seriously in order to be in the best condition at night.

After an afternoon of treatment, Ling Yan suddenly felt refreshed.

When night fell, Ling Yan asked the soldiers to eat dinner as quickly as possible, and then ordered most of the soldiers and horses in the camp, took Tang Zhou's head, and set off for Juye City.

Ling Yan is not good at marching in ancient times, but he sees that in the story, there is always a vanguard who goes to explore the road first, and this time he doesn't care if it is necessary or not, or let Zhang Yi take the lead in leading a thousand infantry to explore the way.
