"Brother Xian, General Lu is ready to attack. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "You Heng said to Ling Yan.

"Oh......" Ling Yan replied a little absent-mindedly.

You Heng didn't notice Ling Yan's attitude and continued, "However, I have something to say. ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Brother You, please say something." ”

You Heng said: "I think before sending troops, it is better to repair a letter to Yuan Shao first." ”

Ling Yan was puzzled: "Why?" ”

You Heng said: "'Bow first and then soldier, for the gentleman'." In my opinion, the virtuous brother first repaired the book and Yuan Shao, and told the truth to see how he coped. If he still stubbornly persists, it will not be too late for us to send troops again. ”

"Oh, it's ......" Ling Yan looked very hesitant.

You Heng finally noticed Ling Yan's abnormal attitude: "Brother Xian, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ling Yan looked at You Heng and smiled bitterly: "Brother You, did you say we should send troops?" ”

You Heng said strangely: "Why did the virtuous brother ask such a question? Isn't it already decided that you are in the council chamber? ”

Ling Yan sighed: "Brother You, isn't it a bit hasty to send troops now?" ”

You Heng frowned slightly: "What do you mean?" ”

Ling Yan said a little helplessly: "I mean, now that we send troops to fight against Yuan Shao, what hope is there that we can win?" ”

You Heng Zhengse asked, "Brother Xian, has anyone made a suggestion to you?" ”

Ling Yan nodded: "General Kuai Liang does not approve of going to crusade against Yuan Shao now. ”

You Heng's brows furrowed even tighter: "Why? If not, when? ”

Ling Yan told You Heng about Kuai Liang's thoughts, and then said, "I think about it now, and I also feel that General Kuai's words make sense, if I rush to send troops, I will only bring defeat to myself." ”

You Heng shook his head: "What General Kuai said is not true. ”

Ling Yan was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

You Heng said: "Because of the great strength of the Yuan thief, he dared to deceive the virtuous brother, and it is precisely because of this that the virtuous brother should send troops to fight." ”

Ling Yan looked dazed.

You Heng continued: "If Brother Xian tolerates everywhere, it will only increase the arrogance of the Yuan thief, as General Kuai said, the Yuan thief is planning to annex Jianhe City, with the strength of Brother Xian at this time, can he hold Jianhe City?" ”

Ling Yan thought about it and shook his head helplessly.

You Heng smiled: "If the Yuan thief occupies Jianhe City, there will always be danger lurking in the north of the Great Victory City, and I don't know when the Yuan thief will raise troops and continue to attack the Great Victory City, if so, what should I do?" ”

Ling Yan couldn't answer.

You Heng continued: "If the virtuous brother forbears and retreats, not only will the Yuan thief not appreciate it, but he will also think that the virtuous brother is afraid of his strength and does not dare to be an enemy with him, and he will try to force him everywhere. If the virtuous brother repeatedly endures, he will only drive himself to death. ”

Ling Yan sighed and nodded.

If it is really invincible, it can also weaken the power of Yuan thief, reduce its morale, make it worrying, and dare not act recklessly, so that Jianhe City may be able to be saved. As long as Jianhe City is not occupied by the enemy, the great victory city will be worry-free. This is the strategy of offense and defense. "You Hengdao.

Ling Yan thought about it, what You Heng said was also very reasonable, so he said: "What Brother You said is also in line with my wishes, but General Kuai ......"

You Heng sneered: "What General Kuai saw is not correct every time. ”

Ling Yan thought about it, but still had some concerns: "Although I also want to attack immediately, but Yuan Shao's fierce generals are indeed quite a lot, and the soldiers are also several times that of me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with him......"

You Heng shook his head again: "No. Although Yuan Shao had many military generals, after the battle with Han Fu, most of the generals were exhausted; Although the soldiers are several times larger than me, most of them are surrendered, and they are not wholeheartedly obedient to Yuan Shao, and if there is a slight change, they are likely to defect, so there is no need to worry. ”

Ling Yan is right to think about it, if Yuan Shao is really so powerful, why bother to ask me to attack Han Fu together?

You Heng continued: "Although we have few soldiers, we are all elite soldiers who are loyal to our virtuous brothers, and we all use one as ten, and attack their rabble with elite soldiers, so why be afraid? ”

Ling Yan originally hated Yuan Shao in his heart, and he couldn't wait to crusade against him immediately, but he was a little hesitant when he was persuaded by Kuai Liang, but now listening to what You Heng said made so sense, Ling Yan immediately came to his senses again, and hugged his fist at You Heng: "Listening to your big brother's kind words, Ling Yan's mouth suddenly opened!" What your eldest brother said is right, if you don't attack it, Yuan Shao will definitely have to make an inch, and at that time, I will be even more dangerous. ”

You Heng smiled slightly: "What the virtuous brother said is exact. ”

Ling Yan said angrily: "Hmph! I worked so hard to help Yuan Shao occupy Jizhou City, and now he is doing this to me! Yuan Shao deceived me and didn't dare to be his enemy, so I wanted to catch him off guard! ”

You Heng also said: "The thief Yuan deceived people too much, and he must not be tolerated. ”

Ling Yan nodded heavily: "Yes! I've decided! Raise troops and attack Jizhou on a certain day! ”

You Heng nodded: "Brother Xian, it's better to write a letter to that Yuan thief first, and then raise an army." ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll write it now." ”

Ling Yan found a pen and paper, and after thinking about it for a while, he wrote: "General Yuan said that Han Fu surrendered only 30,000 troops, I am afraid it is not true, I heard that when Han Fu was in Jizhou, he had more than 200,000 troops, why did Jizhou only surrender 30,000 when it came to the general?" The rest of the soldiers, why don't you let the general kill them all? Furthermore, what was previously decided was to divide Jizhou equally, so why didn't the current general divide half of my grain, grass, horses, and money? Do you want to swallow it privately? If the general forgets, he will send someone to me, and another 50,000 soldiers to me. If the general is sincere in his alliance with me, he will do as he has done; If the general insists on breaking his word, I have no choice but to break the alliance with the general. ”

After Ling Yan finished writing, he showed the letter to You Heng.

After You Heng looked at it, he nodded: "Yes." ”

Ling Yan called the messenger and ordered him to take the messenger to Yuan Shao, who took the letter and retreated.

"In my opinion, Yuan Thief will not agree to the request of the virtuous brother, so it is better for us to make an attack plan as soon as possible." You Heng said to Ling Yan.

"Hmm!" Ling Yan nodded heavily, "I don't have much hope, it's better to discuss when to attack and how to attack." ”

You Heng nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said to Ling Yan, "If it's an attack, I have a word. ”

"Brother You, just say what you have to say."

You Heng said: "This crusade against Yuan Shao, no matter what, is very dangerous, I think ...... The virtuous brother should not be recruited in person. ”

Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "How can this be done?" I originally proposed the crusade, and if I didn't personally lead the troops, then ...... Will the soldier go forward? ”

You Heng said: "Please forgive me for being blunt, if the virtuous brother personally leads the army to fight, if it wins, it will be good, if it is true...... If it is defeated, then the city of Jianhe is likely to be lost. ”

Ling Yan thought for a moment: "Why? ”

You Heng said: "If the virtuous brother is defeated by the Yuan thief, the Yuan thief will definitely send a few other soldiers and horses to pursue the virtuous brother, or chase to Jianhe City, and the soldiers defending the city will know that the virtuous brother is defeated, and the army will be unstable and difficult to hold the city." ”

Ling Yan nodded and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

You Heng said: "The virtuous brother does not have to go out in person, he only needs to send a general to lead the troops, and if he is defeated and returns, the virtuous brother can also meet in the city, and he will not be messed up." ”

Ling Yan let out a "hmm", thought about it again, and then said, "Okay...... Just listen to the big brother. ”

After a few more words, you Heng took his leave.

Ling Yan had already made up his mind to attack Jizhou, so he no longer thought about this problem, but took advantage of his free time to start cultivating his internal qi again. Holding the Moon Slashing Knife, Ling Yan suddenly noticed that the white light on the knife was not as bright as before......

Two days later, the messenger returned and handed Ling Yan a letter.

Ling Yan opened the letter and looked at it, it read: "Shao sincerity and General Yan are allies, the general should not listen to lies, Han Fu surrendered only 30,000 troops, and Shao did not have other things such as horses, so it cannot be divided with the general, forgive me." ”

After Ling Yan read it, he tore the letter to shreds and spilled it on the ground.

"I knew he would say that, and since that's the case, I don't have to be polite to him!" Ling Yan thought hatefully.

The messenger was taken aback by Ling Yan's actions, and said in a trembling voice, "General Yan...... Yuan Shao also asked me to convey a word to the general. ”

Ling Yan looked at the messenger coldly: "What did he say?" ”

The messenger swallowed: "He said that he would send a messenger to thank the general with a courtesy......"

Ling Yan waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, I know, you go down." ”

The messenger was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated.

The more Ling Yan thought about it, the more angry he became, so he sent someone to inform all the civil and military generals to go to the council hall to discuss important matters.

By the time Ling Yan arrived at the council hall, everyone had already stood in two rows.

Ling Yan walked to his place and sat down, then looked around at everyone, and said loudly: "Yuan Shao made an agreement with me before, if I send troops to help him capture Jizhou, then he will share half of the income with me, but now, he excused himself and only gave me 15,000 infantry, of which 5,000 are old and weak...... We spent money and food, broke the generals, and lost the soldiers, but let him pick up a bargain, but we got nothing! If you don't send troops to fight this thief, how can you be worthy of those dead soldiers? ”

Lu Gong and the others clasped their fists and said in unison: "What General Yan said is extremely true. ”

Ling Yan nodded and continued, "I have decided to immediately send troops to attack Jizhou City!" ”

"General Yan is wise!" Lu Gong and others.

At this time, he saw that Kuai Liang's face had changed greatly, and he hurriedly stood up and said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, why do you want to raise an army to fight again?" If you have a good opinion, you should retreat first, and then ...... after discussion."

Ling Yan interrupted Kuai Liang: "General Kuai, please don't say more, I have made up my mind." If I tolerate it and retreat, I will probably be forced to death by Yuan Shao's thief! ”

Kuai Liang was anxious: "General Yan, but ......"

Ling Yan stretched out his hand to stop Kuai Liang: "General Kuai, I've thought it through, don't persuade each other anymore...... Since Yuan Shao intends to embarrass me, I will let him taste my awesomeness! ”

"What General Yan said is exact!" Lu Gong came out and said, "Yuan Shao deceived people too much, if General Yan didn't help him, how could he occupy Jizhou so easily?" Now he is not grateful, but makes things difficult everywhere, this kind of thief must be crusaded! ”

"Hmm......" Ling Yan nodded, "What General Lu said is exactly what I want." After speaking, he looked at Xiahou Jiang, "General Xiahou Jiang!" ”

Xiahou Jiang hurriedly clenched his fists: "The end will be!" ”

Ling Yan asked in a deep voice, "Does General Xiahou agree to send troops to fight against Yuan Shao?" ”

Xiahou Jiang said loudly: "The last general agrees to send troops, but it's just ......"

"Just what?" Ling Yan frowned.

"It's just that Yuan Shao has a lot of generals, I'm afraid it won't be easy to win." Xiahou River Road.

"Hmph," Ling Yan snorted coldly, "That's just a rabble, what's there to be afraid of?" ”

Xiahou Jiang hurriedly said: "What General Yan said is extremely true. ”

Ling Yan said: "Okay! Then send General Xiahou to lead 5,000 troops as the vanguard and attack Jizhou City! ”

"Yes!" Xiahou Jiang clenched his fists.

Ling Yan looked at Li Heng again: "General Li Heng!" ”

Li Heng responded and said: "The end will be!" ”

"You lead 5,000 men and horses to attack with General Xiahou!" Ling Yan ordered.

"Yes!"

"You two will immediately lead the troops out of the city!"

"Yes!" The two generals retreated.

"General Yan, the last general requests to be the vanguard with General Xiahou!" Seeing that Ling Yan didn't send him, Lu Gong said hurriedly.

Ling Yan shook his head: "General Lu will defend the city with me...... Alright, all the generals stand down. ”

Lu Gong retreated in disappointment, and the other civil and military forces also went out, only Kuai Liang was still sitting in his place.

"General Kuai, why don't you leave?" Ling Yan asked.
