Volume 2 The Battle of the Yellow Turban Chapter 169 Refusal to surrender
(Cat flutter Chinese) Ling Yan looked at Yu Yigen with a stunned expression for a long time before he sighed slowly: "Okay...... General Yu is a minister and two masters, and his loyalty is awe-inspiring, and I am not reluctant...... However, I hope that General Yu will answer me a question...... I know that there must be at least one resourceful strategist in Juye City who is giving advice to Li Damu, otherwise with these strategists under my command, I will never suffer such a big loss......"
Yu Yigen snorted coldly a few times as if he were sneering.
Ling Yan also smiled bitterly: "But I know that the person who plotted is not Li Damu...... I would like to ask General Yu to tell me who this person is...... Is that possible? β
Yu Yigen thought for a moment, and then sneered: "Okay! It doesn't hurt to tell you! These schemes are all offered by General Zuo! β
"General Zuo?" Ling Yan was stunned, "Who is he?" β
Yu Yigen smiled proudly: "It is the general under the account of the 'General Rengong', one of the generals of the Quartet, and the general of the West God, General Zuo!" β
Ling Yan was stunned again, he had heard of the name "Zuo Xiao", but as far as he knew, this person was just an unknown young general in the story of the Three Kingdoms, but he didn't expect that he would have such a big background and title here!
Seeing that Ling Yan was stunned, Yu Yigen said proudly: "I'm not afraid to tell you, the plan to send troops to set up ambushes along the way, ambush heavy troops outside the city, cut off your back roads, and rob your camp are all offered by General Zuo!" β
"Oh!" Ling Yan finally revealed the mystery in his heart, "Then this Colonel Zuo is now in Juye City?" β
After hearing Ling Yan's question, Yu Yigen didn't answer immediately, and Shen SΓ¨ became a little as if he had concerns, but he only hesitated for a moment, and then sneered as if he had figured it out: "Okay! It doesn't hurt to tell you! General Zuo is not in Juye Castle now, but he is leading his army to help! β
Ling Yan was puzzled: "Since he is coming, why can he offer a plan?" β
"Haha!" Yu Yigen laughed, as if Ling Yan had asked some stupid question, "General Li informed General Zuo about the advance of your thief army, and General Zuo returned a bag with these strategies hidden in it!" β
Ling Yan was surprised, he only knew that Kong Ming and Cao CΔo would occasionally use the trick under very special circumstances, but he didn't expect that even the Yellow Turban Army had learned this method!
Ling Yan thought again: If Yu Yigen hadn't lied to him, then that Zuo Colonel was really not an ordinary person!
Thinking of this, Ling Yan suddenly had a sense of urgency, and he intuitively felt that he had to take Juye City before Zuo Xiao rushed to help! Otherwise, when the left colonel arrives with the troops, it will be even more difficult to take Juye!
However, if you want to take Juye as soon as possible, you must rely on the help of Root - get more information about Juye Castle from his mouth. But Yu Yigen insisted on refusing to surrender, and he refused to say anything, which ...... What to do?
Seeing the bitterness on Ling Yan's face, Yu Yigen sneered, "Hmph...... That's what I'm telling you, and how can you do it to Juye Castle! Not to mention that General Zuo will come to help, even if General Li guards Juye City alone, what can you do! Even if you are given ten years and August, how can you break through it again! β
Ling Yan knew that Yu Gengen wanted to defeat him on the psychological defense line, but he didn't refute anything, but nodded helplessly: "What General Yu said, although I don't want to admit it, I'm afraid it's true...... Alas! But thank you to the general for telling me this, so I'll ask the general to rest now......"
After speaking, Ling Yan called Lu Gong and took him out. Yu Yigen did not resist, and only saw a trace of victory on his face.
Ling Yan was so upset that he didn't even take a few bites of the food brought by the soldiers.
Ling Yan looked at the food in the bowl, he had no appetite at all, and after sighing heavily, he stood up, walked towards the outside of the tent, and looked at the large number of soldiers around himβeven rΓ¬ came, only then could he relax his nerves and eat a full meal, so those soldiers were all around the stove fire, gobbling up the not very delicious food.
When Ling Yan saw this situation, he couldn't help but think of those soldiers who were killed on the battlefield, and his heart was sad again, his nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears. He couldn't bear to touch the scene anymore, sighed and returned to the tent lonely.
All this was seen by Zuo Ci not far away. Seeing that Ling Yan was in a trance, Zuo Ci stood up and followed Ling Yan into the tent.
When Ling Yan saw Zuo Ci coming in, he smiled reluctantly: "The national teacher has also eaten?" β
Zuo Ci smiled and shook his head: "I saw that General Yan was restless and miserable, so I came to share my worries for the general." β
Ling Yan smiled bitterly: "I'm just annoyed by attacking Juye City, the national teacher will go eat first." β
Zuo Ci smiled and said: "The general is worried about big things, how can Ci go because of eating?" β
Ling Yan smiled reluctantly in response: "No matter how sad I am, I can't capture Juye City, what's the use?" β
Zuo Ci heard that Ling Yan's tone was a little deflated, so he shook his head: "The general's words are wrong. It is not easy to attack the city and seize the land, and the general only lost the first battle, so why should he be so depressed? β
Ling Yan sighed: "I have already talked to Yu Yigen, and he has told me some inside information. β
"Oh? What did he say? The national teacher asked.
Ling Yan recounted the process and content of the previous conversation with Yu Gengen.
After hearing this, Zuo Ci frowned: "Yu Gengen's words are not false...... After speaking, he looked at Ling Yan, "In that case, can the general come up with a plan to attack the city?" β
Ling Yan sighed: "I originally thought a lot about the siege plan, but now it seems that it doesn't work very well. I think the only chance to take the city is to take it before the enemy reinforcements arrive. Otherwise, when the reinforcements arrive, if you want to attack the city, I am afraid that it will be more difficult, and if you don't get it right, you will be attacked by the enemy from both sides. β
Zuo Ci nodded, agreeing with Ling Yan's statement.
Ling Yan sighed and continued: "However, Juye City is far from being as easy to attack as imagined, Yu Yigen once said that Juye City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also guarded by Li Damu, which is more stable. Although what he said may not be accurate, it seems that it is really very difficult to take this city with the courage of a horseman...... I believe that in order to break through the gate as soon as possible, only by understanding the situation in Juye Castle clearly can we know where the weak points are. β
Zuo Ci nodded again.
Ling Yan said dejectedly: "If Yu Yigen surrenders to us, then I can get all the information about Juye City from him, but ...... It seems that Yu Gengen will not obey to the death, that is, he will not surrender to us...... I just felt very annoyed because I couldn't think of a solution. "Cat flutter Chinese
