Chapter 82: A Lesson
Lu Tiecheng snorted lightly: "General Yan's news is really ill-informed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ General Ling has already captured the city of the Yellow Turban Thieves and surrendered more than 10,000 enemy soldiers. β
Ling Yan was overjoyed: "Really? That's great! I'm relieved! β
Lu Tiecheng snorted: "General Ling won the battle, presumably General Yan also returned victorious, right?" I don't know how many enemy soldiers General Yan has surrendered? β
Ling Yan's face suddenly felt embarrassed, and he said stupidly, "I...... He didn't win a big victory, so he didn't get a surrender ......"
Lu Tiecheng snorted again: "I'm not surprised, I knew it was this kind of result." I would be surprised if General Yan was able to surrender to the enemy. β
Ling Yan lowered his head, he had a hunch that Lu Tiecheng was going to preach again.
"Do you know why I'm going back to the Great Victory City?" Lu Tiecheng asked.
Ling Yan raised his head and looked at Lu Tiecheng: "I don't know ......"
Lu Tiecheng sneered: "I'm afraid that General Yan will make some incredible decisions again, so I have to give up protecting General Ling and come here." β
Ling Yannuo said, "The general just goes to protect General Ling...... I didn't make any incredible decisions, uh......"
Lu Tiecheng frowned: "Really not?" Isn't it an incredible decision to send troops to attack Shangdang City without authorization? β
Ling Yan's voice became smaller and smaller: "I know that I did something wrong with this, I was too impulsive at the time......"
"Even if you were too impulsive at the time, I won't pursue it," Lu Tiecheng interrupted Ling Yan's words, "Then why don't you accept the lesson?" Why did you go to Jianhe City this time? β
Ling Yan said with some guilt: "I originally thought that this was a good opportunity, so that we could occupy one more ......."
Lu Tiecheng interrupted Ling Yan's words again, and said coldly: "What a good opportunity? General Yan, are you so confident in your judgment? How many battles have you fought? How many times have you made the decision? Do you think that after reading a few pages of the Three Kingdoms novel, you can grasp the overall situation? Can you see the situation clearly? β
Ling Yan was very uncomfortable with Lu Tiecheng's tone, but he had no choice but to say, "General Lu, you listen to my explanation......"
"Good. You explain, I'll listen. Lu Tiecheng took a sip of tea, and then folded his arms around his chest.
"Yuan Shao sent a messenger to see me before...... Actually, he wanted to see General Ling, and General Ling and General Lu were not there, so I met the messenger," Ling Yan quickly changed his words and continued, "He asked me to send troops to help him attack Han Fu, and promised to divide half of Jizhou City and all the 'spoils' I received from Han Fu after the matter was completed......"
"So you're helping him, aren't you?" Lu Tiecheng asked coldly.
"I didn't ...... Later, Han Fu also sent someone to beg me to help him fight against Yuan Shao," Ling Yan said, "I thought about it carefully, and I felt that it was more beneficial to help Yuan Shao, and if I helped Yuan Shao, I could still occupy Jianhe City, but if I helped Han Fu, I couldn't occupy his city, and after helping him win, it would not be good for us, so I thought about it and decided to help Yuan Shao......"
Lu Tiecheng snorted coldly: "You thought about it for a long time, and then you made such a decision?" β
"Hmm...... I thought I would help General Ling ......"
"You're going to make a contribution, aren't you?" Lu Tiecheng interrupted Ling Yan, "With your decision-making judgment, you still want to make meritorious contributions?" Even if you want to make meritorious contributions and want to go crazy, you won't make such a hasty decision, right? β
"I thought my decision was ......" Ling Yan glanced at Lu Tiecheng, "There's nothing wrong with it......
"That's right?" Lu Tiecheng pulled down his face suddenly, "Do you think it's right to help Yuan Shao attack Han Fu?" Do you think it's right to attack and build a city? β
"Hmm." Ling Yan plucked up the courage to nodded.
Lu Tiecheng said coldly: "Then let me ask you, after you send troops, if there is an enemy army attacking Dajie City, what should you do?" β
"I thought I would be back soon......," Ling Yan whispered.
"Yours 'soon', but it's been weeks!" Lu Tiecheng said coldly, "If I hadn't come, this would be like an empty city!" β
"I'm always inquiring about this place...... Ling Yan himself also felt quite weak, "If there is any movement, I will immediately return to the army......"
"When the enemy army occupies the city, what's the use of you returning to the army?" Lu Tiecheng frowned, his voice serious.
Ling Yan lowered his head and did not speak.
Lu Tiecheng took a breath: "Then did you defeat Han Fu?" β
Ling Yan sighed softly: "If you win, you will also occupy Jianhe City." β
Lu Tiecheng said with an exaggerated expression: "Oh? Congratulations to General Yan! So what Yuan Shao promised before has been done? β
Ling Yan shook his head slowly.
Lu Tiecheng's face changed suddenly, and he said coldly: "Hmph, I knew that Yuan Shao would not be as 'simple' as you...... I'm afraid that except for General Yan, no one else will believe the kind of promise that Yuan Shao said. β
Ling Yan said in a low voice: "I thought he wouldn't be discredited, after all, he was the lord of the party......"
"It's the lord who won't be as naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve as General Yan!" Lu Tiecheng said heavily, "If you change it, you won't believe it!" β
Seeing that Ling Yan bowed his head and was silent, Lu Tiecheng said again: "General Yan, what about Jianhe City?" β
"Occupied by Yuan Shao's soldiers." Ling Yan had no choice but to tell the truth.
Lu Tiecheng said coldly: "That means that you sent troops this time, not only did you get nothing, but also lost your troops in vain?" β
Ling Yan nodded helplessly: "Yes......"
Lu Tiecheng's face changed: "General Yan, you should know that as the chief general, if you send troops to no avail, you will also be dealt with by military law!" β
"Uh...... I know ......"
"Although General Ling has a good relationship with you, you will be fully responsible for the mistake of sending troops rashly this time." Lu Tiecheng didn't give up, "I'm going to raise my account in a while, gather all the generals, and announce the disposition of you...... General Yan, do you have any opinions? β
"No......" Ling Yan shook his head dejectedly, "I'm willing to listen to General Lu's disposal." β
"It's not like I'm going to deal with you, this is a case of military law, so I have to do it," Lu Tiecheng smiled and paused, "By the way, General Yan, I heard that you killed Zhang Mancheng?" β
"Hmmm......"
Lu Tiecheng frowned slightly: "General Yan, with your skills, how can you kill him?" β
Ling Yan smiled sadly, and then told the thrilling process of the battle with Zhang Mancheng.
After hearing this, Lu Tiecheng smiled meaningfully: "Oh! It turned out to be exchanged for the lives of two General Zhang! β
Ling Yan didn't say a word.
"However, you were slashed by Zhang Mancheng, how can you still be unharmed?" Lu Tiecheng frowned.
Ling Yan was very hesitant, thinking about whether he should tell him about Hua Tuo's internal qi being passed on to him, but after thinking about it, he still decided to tell the truth, because Lu Tiecheng would know about it sooner or later.
"Before, General Hua Tuo passed on his internal qi to me...... So, I wasn't killed by Zhang Mancheng......"
Lu Tiecheng was stunned: "What? You say Hua Tuo...... He passed on all the internal qi in his body to you? β
"Yes......"
After being silent for a moment, Lu Tiecheng stared at Ling Yan tightly: "Did he give you anything else besides passing on your internal qi?" β
"I didn't ...... Not. Ling Yan subconsciously lied.
Lu Tiecheng stared at Ling Yan for a long time before he smiled slowly: "No wonder I asked him to heal before, but he said that he no longer has the ability to heal." β
Ling Yan didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart that what Lu Tiecheng said was not the truth at all.
"Huh...... Okay, you go back and rest," Lu Tiecheng smiled, "But don't sleep too much, I'll gather the generals in a while." β
Coming out of Lu Tiecheng's residence, Ling Yan only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and this feeling made him sad more than losing the battle. He knew that Lu Tiecheng had never had a good impression of him, and this defeat, Lu Tiecheng would definitely take advantage of this to make a big fuss. However, Ling Yan also understood that even if he was really dealt with by military law, he couldn't blame others, who let himself not listen to the advice of others, so that the army was defeated?
Ling Yan returned to his room, he originally wanted to get a good night's sleep, but after two days and one night, he was almost sleepy. But he thought about it again, even if he slept, he would definitely not be able to sleep for long, Lu Tiecheng would send someone to call him in a while, it was better not to sleep than this.
So, Ling Yan called the soldiers guarding the gate and ordered: "If General Lu sends someone to find me, you should go and inform me immediately, and there must be no mistake." β
"Yes."
Ling Yan walked out of the room and walked outside.
After a while, he came to the outside of Cong'er's room, reached out and knocked softly on the door.
"Who?" Cong'er's voice came from the room.
"It's me, Ling Yan." Ling Yan said, pushed open the door and walked in.
Cong'er was combing her hair, and when she heard Ling Yan's voice, she was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look, and saw that it was really Ling Yan, so she ran over in two steps and threw herself into Ling Yan's arms, and her voice actually carried some crying: "Brother Ling Yan!" You're finally back! β
Ling Yan suddenly felt a wave of sweetness and happiness welling up in his heart, and the tiredness and tiredness of a few days instantly disappeared at the moment when Cong'er's warm petite and weak body threw himself into his arms.
Ling Yan gently patted Cong'er's back and said with a smile: "I promised Cong'er that he would return safely, and he would definitely not break his promise." He said it so easily, but in fact, he was very scared, and he almost died a few times.
Cong'er burst into tears and laughed: "Brother Ling Yan, you won't leave again from now on, even if you really want to leave, I want you to promise me that you will come back safely." β
"Hmmm! I promise you! Ling Yan nodded heavily, and then joked, "Cong'er, aren't you going to let your brother in and sit?" β
Cong'er's face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly let Ling Yan into the house.
The two sat down facing each other. Cong'er poured Ling Yan a cup of tea, and then said to Ling Yan with a worried face: "Brother Ling Yan, why have you been there for so many days, have you fought a lot of battles...... You've been gone for so long, I ...... every day I'm so worried that I ask the gods and Buddhas to bless me every day......"
Ling Yan smiled: "Cong'er, don't worry, I'm not safe and sound!" However, if I am safe and sound, it must be that Cong'er's prayer has played a big role. β
Cong'er Qiao blushed.
Ling Yan smiled and continued: "Cong'er, to be honest, in fact, this time I went out of the city to crusade, I encountered danger several times, but every time I was able to save the day, I felt that there was a god in the dark to protect me, and now I know that it was Cong'er who prayed for me in secret and sent a guardian saint for me." β
Cong'er smiled: "Then I will pray silently once a day in the future." β
Ling Yan's heart was filled with sweetness again.
Cong'er's face suddenly became worried again: "Brother Ling Yan, what danger have you encountered?" Can you tell me? β
Ling Yan hesitated, and then briefly told Cong'er what happened after leaving the city, of course, Ling Yan didn't say a word about the kind of plot where his life hung by a thread, he didn't want to frighten Cong'er.
After listening to Ling Yan's narration with wide eyes, Cong'er said with some fear: "Brother Ling Yan, it turns out that you have gone through so many dangers!" β
Ling Yan smiled bitterly: "Yes, but fortunately, I can save the day every time." β
Cong'er nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder every time I ask Brother Lu Tiecheng, he says that you will be fine." β
Ling Yan was stunned: "Cong'er, have you gone to General Lu?" β
Cong'er shook his head: "I didn't go to Brother Lu Tiecheng, he came to find me." β
Ling Yan was unconsciously alert: "What is he looking for you to do?" β
Cong'er thought for a while: "He came to talk to me, and he told a lot of things about your eldest brother. β
"Brother You?" Ling Yan was stunned again, "What did he say about your big brother?" β
