However, Ling Yan thought again, how could Colonel Zuo suffer such a big loss this time? Who knows what tough tricks he'll come up with next time! In good conscience, most of this time it was Zuo Ci's celestial phenomena that he barely managed to cope with Colonel Zuo's attack, but what about next time? Can Zuo Ci still be counted? Even if he calculated, it was just a rough calculation, how to deploy it, and how could he do it as well as this time?

Thinking about it like this, Ling Yan felt a cold sweat again: remembering that Colonel Zuo hadn't arrived in Juye City before, he had come up with so many clever plans for Li Damu, although he was defeated last night, he could also see that his plan was really powerful! If he still delays attacking Juye City, not to mention that there is no hope for the next advance, but if he says that Colonel Zuo will come to rob the village every few days, he can't stand it!

"No! He must take advantage of his defeat now and attack the city quickly......" Ling Yan made up his mind, "Colonel Zuo surrenders or not, then let's talk about it...... Whether Yu Gengen can be rescued depends on the will of God...... Didn't the national teacher also say that he shouldn't die if he looked at the sky? Alas...... Then it's up to God! If God doesn't help me, there's nothing I can do......"

Thinking of this, Ling Yan smiled bitterly: I didn't expect that he, a person with a higher education, would have to rely on God when he came to ancient times!

But at least he came up with a rough idea, Ling Yan suddenly felt sore—after a night of ambush, it was blowing and "raining", how could it not be uncomfortable?

After taking a nap and turning over, Ling Yan quickly fell asleep. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The next morning, Ling Yan held a feast in the camp tent, and invited the generals in the three villages to come to the tent to eat and drink vigorously -- Ling Yan's camp tent was naturally not as spacious and comfortable as the mansion, and the food was naturally not as good, and after all, he was still in the situation of marching and fighting and the two armies facing each other, so naturally he could not really "drink hard", so as not to make a mistake.

But as soon as they heard that they were going to celebrate, the generals were all excited—even if the food they ate was not as good as that of "home", even if they couldn't really get drunk, it was certainly the most sumptuous meal since the crusade.

You Heng had come back early in the morning, but he hadn't come to see Ling Yan until Ling Yan's tent was almost finished.

As soon as he saw You Heng, Ling Yan immediately greeted him, his face filled with joy and concern: "Brother You, you're back!" ”

You Heng smiled, a little ashamed: "Well, when I came back in the morning, I felt sleepy for a while, so I took a nap." ”

Ling Yan smiled and said, "Brother You, eat a good meal after a while, and after eating, Brother You will go to rest." ”

You Heng nodded.

Ling Yan frowned slightly, and his expression became a little serious: "Brother You, how is it?" Did Colonel Zuo ambush soldiers and horses on the road? ”

You Heng sat down and nodded: "Brother Xian's guess is really good, when I was chasing after me, halfway through, I saw two teams of Yellow Turban thieves retreating from the mountain road. ”

Ling Yan remembered something: "These soldiers, how are they dressed?" ”

"Armor ......" You Heng said, his face a little puzzled, "Brother Xian, I don't know something, why are you sure that Colonel Zuo was ready for defeat before he robbed the village?" ”

As soon as You Heng finished the first sentence, Ling Yan's brows gradually relaxed, and when he heard You Heng's question again, he smiled: "Brother You, I'm not convinced that Zuo Colonel will set up an ambush, but with my understanding of him, I feel that with his resourcefulness, he will definitely deploy things very tightly, so just in case, he may leave himself a way back." ”

"Oh......" You Heng nodded.

"Also, I saw that there were nearly two hundred of his Yellow Turban soldiers who could vent their anger before, and this time, he only brought less than a hundred people to rob the village, in addition to the soldiers who stayed in Juye City, there should be dozens of soldiers, I guess he may have deployed them to set up an ambush." Ling Yan said with a smile.

A look of admiration appeared on You Heng's face: "Brother Xian is really resourceful, this time fortunately, Brother Xian didn't let General Wen and others cover up the killing, otherwise he would have fallen for the thief's plan again." ”

Ling Yan smiled: "We finally won once, I really don't want to risk chasing and killing again, otherwise it will be too worthwhile to win and lose." ”

"Well," You Heng nodded, "fighting bravely for the generals, many of them are cautious and cautious, which can be called both wisdom and bravery. In my opinion, the left school is still far behind the virtuous brother. ”

This sentence is very useful, and Ling Yan also praised himself this time: "Hehe...... I don't dare to say anything else, he may be far above me in resourcefulness, but when it comes to dealing with people, I have the confidence to definitely surpass him. ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Subsequently, the preparations for the banquet were completed, and Yang Feng and Deng Yi, who guarded the front and back villages, also came to the middle village.

After all the generals sat down in Ling Yan's tent, Ling Yan took the lead in raising his glass and said to everyone: "This time our army defeated the Yellow Turban Thief, everyone has a considerable credit, in order to thank everyone for their hard work and brave killing the enemy, I will do it first as a respect!" After speaking, without waiting for the others to speak, he drank a large bowl of wine in one gulp.

"General Yan is resourceful and brave, so he won the battle." After Kuai Liang finished speaking, he also dried the wine in the bowl.

The rest of the generals also said words of congratulations, and then they all dried the wine in their bowls.

Ling Yan watched everyone finish drinking, and then continued: "Now we have only won one battle, not a big victory, and we have not captured Juye City yet, it seems that it is not time to celebrate, but since we can win one battle, we can also win the second battle, and the third battle, naturally we can also capture Juye City!" ”

Kuai Liang continued: "With the wisdom of General Yan and the bravery of the generals, how can the left colonel withstand it?" Juye Castle will be broken by our army! ”

"Yes!" "Yes!" The generals echoed one after another, but Ling Yan found that Wen Ping's expression was a little strange, and he felt a little sullen.

After Kuai Liang finished speaking, he looked at Zuo Ci, who was the head of the throne, and a trace of guilt appeared on his face: "National teacher, this victory, of course, is due to General Yan's wisdom and bravery, but what the national teacher expected, it should also be important. With that, he tilted his head again and made another bowl.

Seeing this, Zuo Ci hurriedly got up and said: "General Kuai's words are serious, and the words that have been measured are all personal feelings, and there is no real evidence, so I didn't dare to say it for a long time, for fear of being laughed at by everyone, and then I saw that General Yan was really embarrassed, so I said it, General Kuai had doubts about this, it was normal, how could I say 'apologize'?" I really can't afford to say this, so I drank this bowl of wine, which can be regarded as a tribute to General Kuai. After speaking, he also picked up the bowl and drank it all.

Ling Yan was very relieved to see this picture. Although he doesn't like to drink very much, it's one thing to not like to drink, and it's another thing to like to drink without procrastination, and to be a neat person - he likes the straightforward character of the ancients, and he is not ambiguous about the drinking of civil and military generals.

After Zuo Ci finished drinking, he arched his hand towards Ling Yan and said, "General Yan, a certain person was talking nonsense before, but he just happened to say a little bit, and he felt very comforted in his heart. But a certain person didn't dare to be greedy for merit, and he didn't have any credit at all, it was completely General Yan's decisiveness and calculation of what the thief general thought, so that he could win a big victory. ”

Ling Yan was very grateful to Zuo Ci in his heart, and also had an idea of thanking him, at this time, listening to Zuo Ci's humble words, Ling Yan stood up, poured a full bowl of wine into the bowl, and then walked in front of Zuo Ci, respectfully saluted Zuo Ci, and then drank the wine in the bowl. Then, Ling Yan put down the bowl and hugged his fist towards Zuo Ci and said: "National Teacher, if you hadn't observed the heavens and calculated that Zuo Xiao's actions were different this time, I wouldn't have thought that he would attack Qianzhai no matter what happened, and the result would have been that I would lose him again, and if I lost this time, it would be a fiasco!" This time, no matter what, you are the first merit! I'm here to express my gratitude! ”

Zuo Ci's face was also moved, and he hurriedly said to Ling Yan: "General Yan doesn't have to be like this, this is where a certain duty lies, the general is too famous!" This great victory, a certain act is insignificant, although vaguely feel that something is wrong, but how to act on the left colonel's traitors, but it is completely unclear, if it is not for the general to calculate that the enemy army will rob the village with three soldiers and horses, and set up an ambush, I am afraid that this time may not be successful. ”

Ling Yan smiled and said modestly: "I'm just right." ”

The generals laughed knowingly, and suddenly, a voice sounded: "Although General Yan is scheming, he is too cautious in his actions, and he missed the best opportunity to capture the city. ”

The generals were stunned for a moment, and looked together towards the place where the sound came from.

Ling Yan just didn't look at it, he also knew that this sentence was said by Wen Ping, he turned to look at Wen Ping and smiled: "General Wen, I admit that I was too cautious, but I'm just worried that the general will go to cover up the killing, if there is any mistake, won't I regret it?" ”

Wen Ping's face was already a little ugly, but when he heard Ling Yan say this, he couldn't help his temper, and his volume suddenly doubled: "General Yan, what do you mean by this?" Although the last general is not skilled in martial arts, he is not the person who is greedy for life and afraid of death! Die on the battlefield and die as you deserve! Besides, the thief army has been terrified, how dare they fight our army again? General Yan, you ......"

Wen Ping stopped before he finished speaking, but Ling Yan also heard the general meaning of the last sentence, and it was estimated that it should be "General Yan, you won't be afraid of death, right?" ”

Ling Yan smiled, did not immediately refute, but returned to his seat and sat down, and then smiled at Wen Ping: "Although I did not lead the army to chase and kill, I also sent General You to investigate...... I mean, I just want to see if my speculation is correct, and if General You come back and say that Colonel Zuo did not deploy an ambush, then I will apologize to everyone here, because it is completely my fault that I missed the best opportunity to break the enemy, and I am willing to ......be punished."

Ling Yan didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what Ling Yan meant, and they all looked at You Heng.

You Heng stood up, hugged his fists at Wen Ping, and said: "General Wen, don't misunderstand General Yan, General Yan is worried that the general will turn against the enemy's plan, and has no other intentions...... General Yan did send me to investigate the enemy's situation, and Colonel Zuo did send two teams of elite soldiers to lie on the hills on both sides of the way. ”

When everyone heard this, they were astonished.

Wen Ping was even more surprised, and his face was a little hesitant: "General You...... Is that true? ”

You Heng smiled: "How dare you bully General Wen." ”

Wen Ping's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed, and after a few seconds of pause, he suddenly knelt down towards Ling Yan, clasped his fists and said loudly: "The end will be useless!" Blame General Yan, please punish the general! ”

Ling Yan has never been angry with Wen Ping, he knows that Wen Ping is also for his own sake in the final analysis, and he is loyal and brave, not only does he not blame him, but he appreciates Wen Ping's straightforward and admitting his mistakes, so he hurriedly said: "General, please get up!" General Wen is dedicated to me, where is the guilt? I can't be grateful, how can I cure the general's sin? Hurry up, hurry up! ”

"Thank you...... General Yan! Wen Ping stood up, and the expression on his face became very complicated, as if it was a mixture of gratitude, shame, and admiration.

Lu Gong's face at this time also changed slightly, and it was almost the same as that of Wen Hire.

Ling Yan looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Everyone is here to break the enemy, no matter whether they win or lose, there is no sin, besides, today is to congratulate the victory, so let's not talk about those bad things." ”

"Yes!" "The general is right!" Zhang Yi and others responded one after another.

Ling Yan turned to look at Zhang Yi: "General Zhang, how is the enemy general named Tang Zhou that we captured?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "His injuries have already been seen by the national teacher. As he spoke, he looked at Zuo Ci.

Zuo Ci continued: "He lost too much blood, although he temporarily stopped the bleeding, but his life was in danger. ”

"Hmm." Ling Yan smiled and nodded.

Wen Ping was hit just now, so he didn't dare to assert himself, he just asked Ling Yan: "General Yan, capture this thief general, I don't know what the general's plans are?" Or do you want to use him...... Design to break the city? ”

Ling Yan smiled: "No. It is useless for this thief to keep him, and I have taken him back just to boost the morale of my army. After speaking, he looked at the generals and said loudly: "Generals, before drinking, I want to dispose of Tang Zhou first." ”

Generals, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what Ling Yan is going to do.

Ling Yan ordered Zhang Yidao: "General Zhang, send someone to bring Tang Zhou over." ”

"Yes." Zhang Yi called a soldier and asked him to bring Tang Zhou in.

No, Tang Zhou was escorted into the camp by two soldiers.

Tang Zhou's left arm was only a small part attached to his shoulder, and the broken part had been bandaged.

Tang Zhou's face turned pale, and after being dragged into the deposit account by the soldiers, when he saw Ling Yan looking at him quietly, and seeing that all the generals were glaring at him angrily, cold sweat broke out in an instant, and as soon as his legs were weak, he was about to collapse to the ground, but fortunately, the soldiers grabbed him.

"Hehe......" Ling Yan smiled faintly, "Tang Zhou, do you know why I called you here?" ”

The muscles on Tang Zhou's face twitched, and when he heard Ling Yan's question, he barely squeezed out an extremely ugly smile: "Yan...... General Yan, the last general doesn't know ......"

"Hah!" Ling Yan suddenly laughed, frightening Tang Zhou's whole body, "Yesterday, didn't you still want to kill me?" What's wrong now, I'm afraid of being like this? ”

When Wen Ping and other generals saw Tang Zhou's appearance, they also snorted contemptuously and coldly.

Tang Zhou hurriedly kowtowed to Ling Yan a few times: "The last general should be damned!" The last will be damned! Please forgive me for my capital crimes! ”

Ling Yan only understood Tang Zhou's character at this time, and immediately looked down on him, and said coldly: "Tang Zhou, I have long known that you Yellow Turban thieves are a group of rabble who are greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

"Yes! Be! Tang Zhou nodded desperately, like a chicken pecking rice, "Yellow turban thieves are like this!" It's all a rabble! ”

The more Tang Zhou followed Ling Yan like this, the more Ling Yan looked down on him: "Really? Are the yellow turban thieves as afraid of death as you? ”

"Yes! Be! All...... It's all like me......" Tang Zhou couldn't care about being ashamed, and said busily.

At a certain moment, self-esteem will be trampled under one's feet.

Ling Yan's voice became even colder: "Your General Zuo, is also like you?" ”

Tang Zhou seemed to be wrong about Ling Yan's intentions, he thought that Ling Yan was going to make him speak ill of Colonel Zuo: "Hmm! Be! The same is true of Zuo Colonel! The Yellow Turban Army...... How can the Yellow Turban Thief compare to the general......"

Ling Yan smiled coldly: "Oh, it seems that you are really the same, but if you want me to see it, you seem to be more greedy for life and afraid of death than them...... Alas! If you were the kind of husband who would rather die than give in, I would also admire you as a person, maybe I wouldn't be willing to kill you, if I knew you were such a person, then I would have killed you a long time ago! ”

Tang Zhou was so frightened that his voice changed tone: "I beg the general to spare me not to die!" I would like to serve the general! Conquer Juno Castle for the general! Ask the general ......"

"Shut up!" Ling Yan suddenly shouted, and even Lu Gong and the others were startled, "Just you, can you help me break through Juye City?" What a joke! ”

Tang Zhou hurriedly said: "Yes!" Yes! As long as the general sends me to Juye Castle to surrender, then Colonel Zuo will definitely be tricked, and when the time comes, ......"

Ling Yan coldly interrupted Tang Zhou's words: "At that time, it will not be Colonel Zuo, but me!" Would you be so stupid to be a left school? ”

Tang Zhou hurriedly rubbed his knees and took two steps forward: "Yes!" General, please trust me! As long as I am the one who deceives me, Colonel Zuo will definitely have no doubts! ”

Ling Yan snorted: "A person like you will definitely vote for Colonel Zuo again when the time comes, and then secretly unite with Colonel Zuo and then design against me, right?" ”

Tang Zhou hurriedly shook his hands: "No!" No! Absolutely not! The last general will never betray General Yan! ”

"Humph!" Wen Ping shouted angrily, "You person who is afraid of death, how can you take what you say seriously!" ”

Tang Zhou was shocked by the loud drink next to him, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Wen Ping: "Really! Seriously! ”

Wen Ping ignored Tang Zhou and looked at Ling Yan: "General Yan!" What will such a man keep him to do? ”

"It's not very useful," Ling Yan looked at Tang Zhou with a smile, "but I still want to ask him a question." ”

Tang Zhou probably thought that Ling Yan was giving him a chance to live, so he hurriedly continued: "General Yan just ask!" As long as the last general knows, he must know everything and speak endlessly! ”

"Hmm......" Ling Yan nodded as if he was satisfied, "Then let me ask you, is Colonel Zuo injured now?" ”

Tang Zhou replied without thinking about it: "Since General Yan fought with him last time, the injuries on his body have not healed!" ”

"How do you know?" Ling Yan frowned slightly.

Tang Zhou hurriedly said: "These days, Colonel Zuo has been recuperating in the city, and he was ordered to investigate the ...... General, your movements......"

Looking at Tang Zhou's answer, Ling Yan didn't think he was lying, it seemed that Zuo Colonel was really injured, but the problem was that Zuo Xue's qi was so strong, he didn't suffer any losses when he fought at that time, how could he recuperate from his injuries for so long?

"General Yan! There's nothing out of his mouth! It's useless to keep him! Wen Ping shouted.

Tang Zhou shuddered, but he didn't refute anything, but looked at Ling Yan with blank eyes.

Ling Yan looked at Tang Zhou with a smile: "Look, my brothers don't want to keep you as a waste. ”

Tang Zhou was shocked: "Ask the general to spare the last general's life!" The last general is willing to follow the general! Serve the general! ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Okay, I'll give you a chance to work as a dog and horse now." ”

Tang Zhou's face, which was full of sweat and tears, finally showed a look of joy: "The general only orders, and the last general will not hesitate to die!" ”

"Good!" Ling Yan didn't hold back and laughed twice, "That's what you said!" ”

Tang Zhou's face turned suspicious: "General, general...... I want the last general to do it...... Do what? ”

Ling Yan said with a smile: "You have also seen it, now is the time for our army to celebrate the great victory, I hope you can help me to cheer up, offer your head, and cheer up everyone's drinking later, and also improve the morale of our army, how about it?" ”

Tang Zhou sat down on the ground all of a sudden, his face turned pale with fright, and his voice trembled: "General, general, you ......"
