Chapter 162: Reviewing the Causes of Defeat
Wen Ping was extremely moved, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, General Yan!" ”
Ling Yan was now most concerned about the situation of other generals besides Wen Ping, so he hurriedly asked Wen Ping: "General Wen, what about the other generals, how are they?" ”
Wen Ping hurriedly said: "They are all over there, General Yan, I will take you over." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Wen Ping led Ling Yan forward, and after a while, he saw You Heng and the others.
You Heng, Yang Feng and Zhang Min were sitting and resting, and when they saw Ling Yan coming, they were very happy, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "General Yan, you are here!" ”
Ling Yan saw that although they were all injured, they didn't look too serious, he was very happy in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Are the generals okay?" ”
"It's okay," You Heng and the others said, "It's just a little bit of a minor injury!" ”
"That's good!" Ling Yan relieved his heart, "Generals, don't worry, I'll heal you in a while!" ”
You Heng and the others said: "Our injuries are not serious, thank you General Yan for your concern!" ”
Ling Yan looked at them, suddenly thought of a question, and his heart sank: "What about the national teacher?" ”
You Heng replied, "The national teacher is fine, he is not far ahead." ”
Ling Yan heard that Zuo Ci was fine, although he was relieved, he was still very puzzled: "Why didn't the national teacher come over there?" ”
You Heng replied, "The national teacher is healing the soldiers' wounds. ”
"Oh!" Ling Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Isn't the national teacher injured?" ”
"The national teacher was not injured." You Heng replied.
I don't know which soldier went to tell Zuo Ci that Ling Yan was coming, so when Ling Yan was about to go over to see the national teacher, he saw the national teacher coming over in a hurry.
"National Teacher!" Ling Yan shouted happily, "Are you okay?" ”
Zuo Ci arched his hand towards Ling Yan and said, "General Yan doesn't have to worry, he is not injured." ”
Ling Yan looked Zuo Ci up and down carefully before believing Zuo Ci's words, but this made Ling Yan even more unbelievable - Zuo Ci had no injuries on his body at all!
However, Zuo Ci's words just solved Ling Yan's doubts: "The reason why a certain person was able to retreat with his whole body was all because Zhongye and others would do their best to protect each other...... In order to protect me, General Wen received more than 20 arrows and penetrated the armor, but fortunately, General Wen was strong in martial arts and used his internal qi to repel the encircled enemy, which allowed me to escape...... Alas, Zuo Ci was useless, not only could not help, but became a burden to the generals. ”
Ling Yan heard this, and hurriedly said to Wen Ping gratefully: "Thank you, General!" General Wen is really a righteous general! ”
Wen Ping said with a guilty face: "General Yan must not be like this!" Wen Ping knew that he was not effective in fighting and that it was a capital crime, so he did his best to protect the safety of the national teacher...... If something happens to the national teacher, then it will be even more difficult to forgive his sin even more if he dies! ”
Ling Yan was very moved: "General Wen...... Thank you ......."
At Zhang Min's suggestion, these people sat down around.
At this time, You Heng said: "General Yan, the Yellow Turban Army is very cunning, when we were completely defenseless, they suddenly besieged us on three sides, and they also had archers to suppress the formation, so our losses were so heavy......"
Ling Yan nodded hurriedly: "I know, when the scout came to tell me, he probably told me about the situation, so I was anxious...... But at that time, the scout said that you were besieged, and asked me to come and rescue you as soon as possible...... So how did you break out? Don't...... The enemy did not send troops to cover the killing? ”
You Heng sighed and said, "This is thanks to General Wen...... Originally, when we were first besieged, it was almost impossible for us to escape, but later, after General Wen successfully broke through the siege, he led his soldiers to kill them back, which disrupted the Yellow Turban Bandits and forced them back. ”
Ling Yan immediately looked at Wen Ping. Wen Ping's face was ashamed, and he said: "Wen Ping is reckless, he has already broken a big deal, if he can die on the battlefield, it can be regarded as death to pay for the crime." ”
Ling Yan hurriedly said, "General Wen, don't say that!" The general is brave and loyal, and he is really a fierce general who can not be found! The responsibility for this defeat lies with me, so don't blame yourself anymore. ”
Everyone stopped talking and bowed their heads gloomily.
After a while, Zuo Ci stood up and said, "General Yan, I'll go to heal the wounded soldiers first, and if something happens, you can send someone to call me over." ”
"Okay." Ling Yan nodded.
Soon after Zuo Ci left, Lu Gong and Zhang Yi also came over and greeted You Heng and others one by one.
After asking each other, they began to discuss the loss.
First of all, Wen Ping told Ling Yan the details of the matter: "After I sent someone to deliver a letter to the general, I led the army to the front not far away, I thought that the enemy army would not be prepared at all, let alone any ambush...... Even if there were ambushes, I thought I could defeat them with a single blow, just like the ambushes I had encountered before, so I didn't take much precautions...... Your general also persuaded me, and I said yes, but in my heart I didn't think about it......"
Ling Yan guessed that this might be an important reason for Wen Ping's self-blame - You Heng had advised him to be careful, but he didn't take it to heart, so he was defeated by the ambush soldiers.
At this point, Ling Yan didn't blame Wen Ping at all, because Wen Ping's mentality was the same as Ling Yan's at that time - Ling Yan also thought that Li Damu was not a strategic general, at most he only had the courage of a horseman, and the soldiers under him were definitely vulnerable.
So at that time, don't say that Wen Ping underestimated the enemy, even Ling Yan himself thought that Juye City could be easily taken down, but no one expected that the result would be like this. However, in the most fundamental way, Ling Yan believed that the failure was all his responsibility, because the order was given by him, and Wen Ping was just acting according to the order.
At this time, there were several exclamations from behind Ling Yan, and Ling Yan heard that it was the butcher, so he glanced back.
Originally, Ling Yan had warned the butcher that if he said anything that disturbed the morale of the army, he would kill him, but at this time, when the butcher saw the miserable situation of the soldiers in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh: "Look...... If you really can't beat General Lee......"
Ling Yan was annoyed enough, but at this time, the butcher still said such things, Ling Yan naturally wanted to scold him, but at the same time, he also thought that he couldn't spread the depression of defeat on the innocent butcher for no reason, so he didn't say anything, just said to the butcher: "Come here...... We're talking about the engagement, so come and hear about it. ”
The butcher may have participated in the so-called "meeting" for the first time, so although there was no expression on his face, he readily agreed and ran over. You can see that he is still very excited.
Wen Ping and the others asked Ling Yan with surprised eyes. Ling Yan told them about convincing the butcher.
When telling Wen Ping and the others, Ling Yan also remembered what he had said to the butcher, and that sentence was very easy to say at that time - "It seems that I don't need your help anymore." Looking back now, it turns out that I already had contempt at that time.
"Alas-" Thinking of this, Ling Yan sighed unconsciously.
