Volume 2 The Battle of the Yellow Turban Chapter 365 Another Accident
(Cat flutter Chinese) () "I have something in my heart, so I can't sleep," You Heng smiled, "When I got up, I came to see Brother Xian, and when I saw Brother Xian sleeping in Zhengxiang, I couldn't bear to disturb him." β
"Hehe......" Ling Yan smiled, "Why should your eldest brother be so polite, if you have something, just wake me up." β
"Brother Xian has worked hard these days, and I finally can sleep well, how can I bear it when I am a big brother." You Heng Shen sè sincere authenticity.
Ling Yan was a little moved, and instead called a soldier in from outside the tent: "Go and come over those meals." β
The soldier agreed and withdrew.
"Brother You, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Come, sit across from me, let's eat together," Ling Yan smiled and beckoned, "What's the matter, let's talk while eating." β
After hesitating for a moment, You Heng nodded: "Well, respect is better than obey." β
The two looked at each other and smiled, and You Heng got up and sat down in front of Ling Yan.
After a while, the food was brought in.
Ling Yan was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and ate them: "Come, big brother, eat." β
You Heng also ate a few bites of food, and then put down his chopsticks, and Shen Sè became a little worried.
Ling Yan sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Brother You, what's wrong?" β
You Heng whispered to Ling Yan worriedly, "Virtuous brother...... Although we won a great victory, I was worried that the thief would talk about our army, which was in the midst of celebration, was unprepared and came to attack ......."
Ling Yan smiled: "Brother You, you are too worried, I have said before, Colonel Zuo will definitely not come to rob the village again at this time." β
You Heng was puzzled: "Brother Xian, why are you so sure?" Although Colonel Zuo had lost a battle before, he had always been cunning, and if he let his talk about our army be careless at this time......
Ling Yan said with a smile: "Your eldest brother's concerns are reasonable, it's not that I lost the battle because of Colonel Zuo, so I'm sure he won't come to rob the village again." β
You Heng asked, "Why is the virtuous brother so sure?" β
Ling Yan said: "Brother You, as far as I know, in Juye City, in addition to Colonel Zuo's own soldiers, that is, in addition to the more than 200 Yellow Turban soldiers who have internal energy, there are only five or six thousand guards, before our three villages were together, and killed nearly 5,000 of his people, his current strength can defend Juye City, it is already very good, how can there be troops to attack again?" Besides, we have killed dozens of his 'descendants' soldiers, and it is estimated that he is no longer thinking about how to force us back, but how to defend Juye Castle......"
You Heng thought for a moment and nodded: "What Brother Xian said is reasonable. β
Ling Yan said again: "I think Colonel Zuo, although he is not a good person, and his strategy is good, but he only has such a small number of troops left, I think he will definitely not dare to take this risk." Even if he really found out that our army was a little lax now, he didn't dare to rush out of the city. β
"Hmm......" You Heng nodded again, "Brother Xian is very right. β
"Hehe......" Ling Yan smiled, "Although I can also be sure that Colonel Zuo will not come, just in case, I have already secretly told General Kuai to make some preparations in case of accidents...... Brother You, didn't you see that General Kuai wasn't drunk when he was drinking, hehe......"
You Heng nodded, and the expression on his face was full of admiration: "Brother Xian is so thoughtful, I see how powerful that Colonel Zuo is, and he is doomed to defeat!" β
Ling Yan was a little embarrassed: "It's all up to the prediction of the national teacher, the hearts of the soldiers, and the help of your eldest brother......
You Heng smiled, and then his expression became serious: "Brother Xian, even so, that Colonel Zuo is not an easy person to deal with, since Brother Xian understands that his city is empty and the guards are insufficient, then he must attack the city as soon as possible and take Juye City as soon as possible, otherwise there will be reinforcements coming, but it will be troublesome." β
Ling Yan nodded sympathetically: "Brother You is right, we have lost most of our current troops, if the enemy army comes again, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it anymore, I am also thinking about taking advantage of the lack of strength of Colonel Zuo, march early, and capture Juye as soon as possible." β
You Heng exhaled: "That's fine. β
Ling Yan continued: "I used Tang Zhou's head to boost morale, firstly, I wanted to sweep away the psychological haze brought by the previous consecutive defeats to the officers and men in the army, and secondly, to boost the morale of the army, disturb the enemy army, and then quickly advance the army. β
"Hmm." You Heng nodded, "Brother Xian did the right thing. β
Ling Yan smiled, took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth.
"Brother Xian......" You Heng thought for a while, and suddenly a confused look appeared on his face, "I still have something unclear and want to ask Brother Xian." β
"Big brother just ask." Ling Yan took a few more bites.
"Yesterday, after the left colonel pushed the virtuous brother off the horse, why didn't he take the opportunity to continue the attack, but fled instead?" You Heng asked.
Ling Yan put down the piece of meat that was about to be put in his mouth again, frowned slightly, and looked at You Heng: "Brother You, to be honest, I thought about it later and felt strange, I killed so many Yellow Turban soldiers who could vent his internal anger at that time, he should hate me to the bone, after I fell off the horse, I also thought that he would be desperate to kill me, who knows...... But he ran away. β
"Hmm......" You Heng also frowned, "Although I have internal qi, he easily blocked my internal qi, it shouldn't be because of this that he ran away......"
Ling Yan thought for a while and said, "Brother You, I analyze, it seems that he has something to do with you getting angry when he runs away. β
"Oh? How so? β
Ling Yan said while thinking about it: "It stands to reason that after he got me off the horse at that time, even if he didn't use a knife to cut me, he just sent his internal qi to attack, so close to the distance, I'm afraid that with my internal qi cultivation, I can't prevent it at all." Although I have healing internal qi in my body, Zuo internal qi is quite powerful, and I estimate that if he wants to use internal qi to kill me, there is still a great chance. β
When Ling Yan said this, You Heng also felt very afraid: "Yes...... At that time, I was very anxious, for fear that Colonel Zuo would be unfavorable to my virtuous brother, so in a hurry, I became angry...... The thief was really powerful, he didn't see my internal qi, but he was able to release his internal qi back and resist my attacks. β
"Hmm." Ling Yan nodded, "Now that I think about it, it is estimated that it was your big brother's internal qi wave that saved my life." β
"Huh? Why did the virtuous brother say that? You Heng was a little surprised, maybe even he didn't believe that he had the ability to save Ling Yan from Colonel Zuo's hands.
Ling Yan said slowly: "When I interrogated Tang Zhou before, Tang Zhou said that Colonel Zuo was injured after that fight with me and has not fully recovered...... I think that Tang Zhou must have told the truth in order to save his own life, so I don't think he would lie to me. β
You Heng nodded: "Yes, he only cared about saving his life at that time, and he shouldn't dare to deceive the virtuous brother." β
"The scout of Colonel Zuo who was caught before also said that Colonel Zuo has been recuperating from his injuries. Although the words of the detective are not credible, if you look at them together with Tang Zhou's words, it is enough to confirm that Colonel Zuo is indeed injured. After Ling Yan finished speaking, he paused, his brows furrowed even tighter, "I was still thinking at the time, if Tang Zhou didn't lie, then what kind of injury did Colonel Zuo suffer?" At the last moment before I fell unconscious, I saw Zuo Xiao's expression, which was clearly a triumphant victory after victory, and I couldn't tell that he was also injured......"
"By the way, Brother Xian, then you and the thief will fight, how about it? After General Wen retreated first, he told us about the situation, I was really anxious, for fear that ......" You Heng suddenly stopped, and couldn't go on.
Ling Yan didn't doubt You Heng's anxious mood at that time, so he smiled comfortingly: "Let your eldest brother worry...... Actually, speaking from the heart, at that time...... It wasn't until I fought Colonel Zuo that I really knew how good he was, and I knew that the hope of beating him was too small...... Even I feel that I will not be able to come back alive......" He smiled bitterly.
Your Heng's worries are even worse: "That...... Brother Xian, how did you persist in fighting him for so long? By the time we arrived, it had been less than half an hour! β
Ling Yan didn't say anything about the "cultivation know-how" he used, but only said vaguely: "I have no other way, horizontal and vertical is death, it's better to do my best and fight with him." β
You Heng Shen sè was moved.
Ling Yan sighed: "I thought about death at that time, but I thought, even if I die, I will have to die with Colonel Zuo, and I will die with him......"
"Ahh You Heng sighed, "That Colonel Zuo...... Scared? β
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.
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?" β
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?" β
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 slightlyβas 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 it may have been that he 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 don't see him much!" β
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. β
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?" β
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. β
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. β
You Heng was a little surprised: "Brother Xian, your 'secret weapon' is so powerful, he was hit but unharmed?" β
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?" β
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? β
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." β
"But Tang Zhou said that Colonel Zuo was injured?" You are puzzled.
Ling Yan smiled: "Colonel Zuo is like this, so JiΔn deceives, even if it is a general under him, he will naturally not tell the truth, he is not injured, just say that his subordinates are injured, if he is really injured, I guess he will not say that." β
"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." β
"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. β
You Heng couldn't laugh, but said, "He will never have this opportunity again." β
"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. β
"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?" β
"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? β
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! β
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 transmit the internal qi of those soldiers back to his body......
