Zhang Yi was still a little worried: "General Yan, the last general thinks that the rebel of Colonel Zuo is obviously delaying time and waiting for reinforcements. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ling Yan smiled: "Well, General Zhang's concerns are also reasonable, I have also thought of this, so I won't give him too much time, I will only let him think about tonight, if he hasn't thought it through, I won't give him another chance." Even if reinforcements arrive, it will not be half a day. ”

Zhang Yi thought about it and nodded.

Ling Yan was in a very good mood now, so he smiled at Zhang Yi again: "General Zhang, if everything goes well, I don't see that we will be able to enter Juye City tomorrow morning." ”

Lu Gong then asked Ling Yan: "General Yan, what if Colonel Zuo refuses to surrender?" ”

Ling Yan laughed: "If he doesn't surrender, I will kill those Yellow Turban soldiers he captured, and then attack Juye City." With Colonel Zuo alone defending the city, he was able to attack the city in less than a day. ”

Lu Gong was a little puzzled: "General Yan, use those yellow turban thieves to threaten Colonel Zuo, this is ...... Does it work? ”

Ling Yan was very confident: "Colonel Zuo, although he doesn't take other people's lives seriously, I can see that he cares very much about his own soldiers. ”

Lu Gong and the others looked at each other, and then Wen Ping laughed and said, "Haha...... General Yan is really brave and strategic! The last will admire! ”

"Haha......" Ling Yan also laughed, he didn't laugh out loud because he heard Wen Ping's praise, but he was suppressed for a long time and suddenly released at this moment, so he felt extremely comfortable, and naturally laughed.

The rest of the people laughed too, and there was a cheerful atmosphere everywhere.

Back at the camp, Ling Yan asked Wen Ping and the others to go back to their tents to rest, while he himself returned to his tent and sent soldiers to call Zuo Ci and Kuai Liang.

After a while, the two of them came to Ling Yan's tent.

Kuai Liang may have learned the news of Ling Yan's victory, and as soon as he came in, he clasped his fists at Ling Yan and smiled: "Congratulations to General Yan on his victory!" ”

Zuo Ci also smiled and said, "General Yan Tianwei will definitely win." ”

Ling Yan was very happy, and hurriedly stood up and saluted back: "It is only by relying on the two of you that we have today's victory." So saying, he gave up his seats to the two of them.

After Kuai Liang sat down, he said, "If it weren't for General Yan's wit and courage, it would be impossible for us to defeat the thief army. After finishing speaking, he looked at Zuo Ci again, "This time, I also relied on the 'poison of blood' of the national teacher, which made the enemy army suddenly confused. ”

Zuo Ci returned the salute, and then said: "It's still the common man named Liu Shi who has the greatest credit." ”

Ling Yan nodded: "Well, that's right." When I enter Juno Castle, I will reward them greatly. ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and then Kuai Liang asked Ling Yan, "General Yan, how is the siege this time?" I saw that the general brought back a lot of Yellow Turban thieves, but what should I do? ”

Ling Yan recounted the battle, and then said his thoughts: "If I insisted on attacking the city at that time, Colonel Zuo would not be able to do anything, at most it would be to resist desperately for a while, and our casualties would be more, but in the end, Juye City would definitely be mine." ”

Zuo Ci and Kuai Liang nodded.

Ling Yan continued: "But I thought that since Juye City was almost in the bag, he was not in a hurry at this time, and this was a good time for Colonel Zuo to surrender, I would withdraw my troops and not attack the city, give him a little time to think about it, if he knew how to be grateful, maybe he would surrender to me, wouldn't it be better?" Moreover, there is hope that General Yu's life will be saved. ”

The two nodded again, and Zuo Ci said: "Well, if Colonel Zuo is willing to help, General Yu's injury is indeed very hopeful." ”

Kuai Liang also said: "General Yu's life is saved, and our army has one more general, which really kills two birds with one stone." ”

"Haha...... Oh, yes! Ling Yan was very happy, "This kind of result is much better than taking the city by force." ”

"Hmm......" Kuai Liang pondered for a moment, "General Yan, if you want to influence this thief and return his thief to him, is it also feasible?" After speaking, he looked at Zuo Ci.

Zuo Ci understood Kuailiang's meaning and nodded: "Well, if there is no antidote to the 'poison of blood', as far as I know, it will indeed not be resolved...... Those thieves have been poisoned, and I am afraid it will be difficult to recover. ”

Ling Yan said: "It's not that I'm afraid that those Yellow Turban soldiers will recover their internal qi and stubbornly resist defending the city...... I'm worried that if Colonel Zuo gets those soldiers, he won't run away with those people overnight. ”

Zuo Ci smiled and said: "That thief general is to escape with the thief soldiers, it is useless, those yellow turban soldiers are no different from ordinary soldiers." ”

Ling Yan nodded and said, "Yes...... I don't really care about the soldiers, but I want to get Colonel Zuo, so I'm going to use the Yellow Turban Soldier to tie Colonel Zuo. ”

Kuai Liang also agreed with Ling Yan's idea, but he still had a question: "General Yan, if Colonel Zuo learns that the Yellow Turban soldiers under him have no internal qi, they will ......."

Ling Yan waved his hand: "Yes." If he thought the soldiers were 'cripples,' he wouldn't have stopped me when I ordered the Yellow Turbans to be killed...... I guess he thought I had set up some plan to incapacitate his soldiers, but I had a way to restore his soldiers' abilities, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and he wouldn't just run away...... He's smart, and he thinks well, hehe......"

"Actually, those thieves are also powerful, if it weren't for General Yan and the national teacher using this good plan, it would be difficult to break the city." Kuai Liang said.

"Hmm." Ling Yan felt the same way, "Those soldiers are really difficult to deal with, no wonder Colonel Zuo values them so much." ”

Kuai Liang and Zuo Ci nodded, and after that, the three of them talked about some more questions, and then Kuai Liang said goodbye first, but Zuo Ci did not leave.

Ling Yan asked, "National Teacher, is there anything else?" ”

Zuo Ci said: "General Yan, although he can break through Juye City tomorrow at the latest, but let Colonel Zuo surrender, there is no certainty, if the traitor insists on refusing to surrender, then ...... What should General Yu do? ”

"Hmm......" Ling Yan pondered for a moment, and then asked Zuo Ci, "National Teacher, has that medicinal herb been used up today?" ”

"Yes." Zuo Ci said, "There will be no cure tomorrow." ”

Ling Yan frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then asked tentatively: "National Teacher, I think that Colonel Zuo should surrender, and it will be a day later at the latest, then...... Is it okay to delay for a day? ”

Zuo Ci shook his head and said, "If the internal qi is transmitted into the general's body, it can be delayed for a day and a half; But what is used at this time is to make internal qi, which cannot be disconnected, otherwise, General Yu may be in danger. ”

Ling Yan thought about it again, but he couldn't think of any way, so he said: "In this way, if Colonel Zuo surrenders soon, then use his internal qi to treat General Yu; If Colonel Zuo refuses to surrender for the time being, use my internal qi first. ”

Zuo Ci hurriedly said: "This ...... No, the internal qi required to treat the general is very much, I'm afraid the general will ...... you."

Ling Yan waved his hand and interrupted Zuo Ci's words: "National Teacher, this is also something that cannot be helped...... We generals, I think I can only do this when I have to do it...... Otherwise, I will give General Yu half of the internal qi in my body, and I will keep half for myself, and the national teacher will find a way to let him survive for a day, how about it? ”

Zuo Ci sighed: "Yes, yes, it's just that the general, as the commander of the first army, if the internal qi is insufficient, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to fight in the future." ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Let's talk about it later, and I don't think there will be any major battles for the time being, the top priority at present is to treat General Yu, curing General Yu will be of great benefit to our army's advance, and it won't make me feel so guilty." ”

Zuo Ci was helpless, and arched his hand and said: "The general loves the general like a son, I only hope that the general can understand it." ”

Ling Yan smiled and didn't say anything, but he secretly felt funny in his heart: "Love will be like a child"! How old am I, how old am Yu Gengen, and I have a lot of beard!

Ling Yan thought about it, and wanted to be happy, but he couldn't bear it.

Zuo Ci took his leave and went out.

Ling Yan felt that there was nothing to do, just waiting for Colonel Zuo's decision in the evening, but in his boredom, he suddenly remembered something, so he sent someone to call a captured Yellow Turban soldier.

Soon, a Yellow Turban soldier was brought.

The Yellow Turban soldier was about thirty years old, and of ordinary appearance, and when he was brought into the tent, there was no panic or nervousness on his face, but no expression - like the other Yellow Turban soldiers, he had one expression at all times.

Ling Yan felt uncomfortable for a while when he saw the Yellow Turban soldier staring at him expressionlessly, but he still responded with a smile on his face: "I asked you to come, do you know what it is for?" ”

The Yellow Turban soldier looked at Ling Yan blankly and did not answer.

Ling Yan smiled: "You shouldn't know, hehe...... Don't mind, when I'm happy, I like to ask boring questions, hehe......"

The soldier still didn't respond.

Ling Yan still kept smiling: "I suddenly felt a problem...... Looking at you like this, you seem to be very loyal to General Zuo, right? ”

The soldier finally spoke, but the expression on his face remained the same: "I am loyal to General Zuo alone." ”

Ling Yan raised his eyebrows: "Really?" But I don't take your lives seriously. ”

The soldier's expression changed, and it changed to that disdain: "You don't need to lobby me, the thief, I will not surrender to you." ”

Ling Yan smiled: "I don't want to lobby you, I just feel sorry for you." ”

The soldier's face changed slightly.

"I'll give Colonel Zuo a night to see if he cares about your lives or Juye City." Ling Yan smiled, "When the time comes, if Colonel Zuo refuses to surrender to me, then I can only kill you all." ”

As he spoke, Ling Yan noticed the change in the Yellow Turban Soldier's expression.

Unexpectedly, the Yellow Turban soldier did not show a trace of fear, but said coldly: "What General Zuo thinks, what can you mortals predict?" If you want to kill, you will kill, die for General Zuo, and there will be no regrets in dying. ”

Ling Yan admired the soldier's courage: "Good! I just like people like you! But you were wrong in the first sentence...... Yes, your General Zuo is indeed brave and resourceful, and I have been hit several times. But it's nothing, and it's called victory when you can achieve the final victory, right? After speaking, Ling Yan couldn't help but show a smug smile, "Even if Colonel Zuo can calculate anything, I don't think he will be defeated today, right?" Hehe......"

The Yellow Turban soldier's face tightened, but he didn't say anything.

Ling Yan continued: "Actually, I was able to defeat Colonel Zuo today, and it was all thanks to you, hehe...... If you can send out internal air waves, victory or defeat is not certain. ”

The Yellow Turban soldier stared straight at Ling Yan, his lips twitched, as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't ask after all.

However, Ling Yan already knew what he was going to ask, and smiled, "Do you want to ask me, why can't you send out internal air waves?" Hehe...... It's not important, it's important, I want to know, how do you have internal qi in your body? ”

The Yellow Turban soldier was silent and stared at Ling Yan.

Ling Yan cocked Erlang's legs: "Don't you want to answer me?" Actually, now, this is no longer an important secret, let me tell you, if you want to get internal qi again, there is only one person who can help you, but who this person is, I won't tell you for the time being, even if I tell you, it's useless, in case Zuo Colonel stubbornly decides to defend the city to the death, I will kill you then. ”

The Yellow Turban soldier seemed to be frozen, motionless—including the expression on his face.

Ling Yan exhaled: "However, if you tell me, I can promise you one thing - how about letting you go back to Juye City?" ”

The Yellow Turban soldier was stunned, as if he didn't believe Ling Yan's words.

Ling Yan smiled: "Don't believe it, what I said is true, and I will never deceive people...... I let you go, and it doesn't matter much, because I still have so many of your captives. Now I just want to know where you got your internal qi, was it passed on to you by Zuo Xiaoxiao, or did you cultivate it yourself? ”

The Yellow Turban soldier lowered his head, as if hesitating whether to tell Ling Yan or not.

Ling Yan suddenly felt a little annoyed: "Tell me, anyway, now that Colonel Zuo is gone, and the internal qi in your body has been completely lost, if I don't want to, you will never want to have any more internal qi...... Actually, my question doesn't mean much to fight with Zuo Xiao, I'm just curious. ”

The Yellow Turban soldier raised his head and said coldly, "I am the internal qi of my own cultivation. ”

"Oh?" Ling Yan raised his eyebrows, "How do you know that you can cultivate internal qi?" ”

The Yellow Turban soldier said coldly: "We were all selected by General Zuo, and then told us how to cultivate...... General Zuo treats us very well, and he will only be loyal to General Zuo in this life! ”

"Hehe," Ling Yan's curiosity was finally satisfied, and he also secretly admired Colonel Zuo in his heart for having such an ability, "Then you should be loyal to him...... Alright, let's go. ”

The Yellow Turban remained motionless.

Ling Yan looked at him, smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll let you go back to Juye City." ”

The Yellow Turban soldier still didn't seem to believe it.

Ling Yan lowered his head: "You can go back and tell Colonel Zuo all the situation here, and tell him by the way, I let you go, just to let him understand, don't make a wrong decision, before midnight, if he really refuses to surrender, I will kill all the Yellow Turban soldiers...... If he had surrendered earlier, I might have released his soldiers and 'healed' them earlier......" After saying that, he looked up at the Yellow Turban soldiers again, "Do you understand?" ”

The Yellow Turban soldier frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Ling Yan called a soldier from outside the tent and asked him to take this Yellow Turban soldier out, and asked him to tell Lu Gong that he was going to release this person.

After the Yellow Turban soldier left, Ling Yan thought about it again, and was still a little worried about those prisoners, so he went to inspect them again, and made sure that those people were guarded by his soldiers layer by layer, and he was a little relieved in his heart.

The rest of the time, he didn't do anything, just used the healing internal qi in the tent to regulate the internal injuries of his body - the wounds left by the battle with Colonel Zuo have not yet recovered; Moreover, the cultivation technique he used that time also consumed a large amount of internal qi. Therefore, Ling Yan's current body is weaker than before.

Time passed quickly, and it soon got dark.

From Juno Castle, there was no movement. Ling Yan was a little anxious, it stands to reason that the Yellow Turban Soldier had already arrived in Juye City, presumably Colonel Zuo had also seen him, could it be ...... Left: Changed his mind? Or did the Yellow Turban soldier not tell Colonel Zuo about his conditions?

Ling Yan was thinking about it in a mess, and he didn't even eat dinner.

There was a commotion outside the tent, the sound of pots and pans, laughter and scolding, one after another - the soldiers probably also knew that Juye Castle was just around the corner, so even the tension of the day was eliminated at this moment, and as soon as the mood was relaxed, there were naturally more words.

Ling Yan was thinking about his thoughts in the tent, and when he heard the laughter outside the tent, he was immediately infected, so he simply didn't want to worry about those things, stood up and walked outside.

"General Yan, the meal has been prepared." The soldiers at the door saw Ling Yan walking out and immediately said.

Ling Yan waved his hand to show that he was not hungry, and then said to the soldier, "You can also go and eat, and come back after eating." ”

The soldier said yes and ran off to eat.

Ling Yan looked ahead: the bonfires burning everywhere lit up the entire camp, and the soldiers were eating hot meals in a circle, looking very unhappy.

"General Yan, why don't you eat?" Lu Gong walked over and asked Ling Yan.

Ling Yan smiled: "I'm not hungry." ”

Lu Gongdao: "General Yan, are you worried about Juye City?" ”

Ling Yan pouted: "If you are not annoyed, there is no other way but to wait for the news of Colonel Zuo." ”

Lu Gong persuaded: "General Yan, don't be in a hurry about this matter, if you think that thief general, you will definitely go out of the city and surrender." ”

Ling Yan smiled, nodded, and then pointed in the direction of the Zhaimen: "Those Yellow Turban soldiers, have you given them food?" ”

Lu Gong replied, "General Yan, please rest assured, you won't starve them." ”

"Hmm." Ling Yan turned around with a smile and wanted to walk back into the tent.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance.

Originally, the sound of hooves was not too loud, and it was not easy to hear in this noisy camp, but all around it was the sound of talking and the collision of bowls, so the sound of horses' hooves, although not loud, seemed very different.

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 had never seen it.

However, recognizing one of them, Ling Yan was also relieved - at least the stranger passed through 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 - that person 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, and his chest was violently lying together, probably caused by running all the way.

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