Ling Yan smiled: "I'm not joking, what I said is true. Don't worry, no one will dare to stop you in the future. If anyone hurts you or your father, tell me. ”

Liu Hui looked at Ling Yan stunned for a while, and then as if he had reacted, he knelt on the ground and thanked him again and again: "Thank you, General Yan!" Thank you, General Yan! ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said, "Hurry up!" Let's eat together. ”

Liu Hui stood up, looking very embarrassed: "This ......"

Ling Yan beckoned: "It's okay...... Just let me command you...... You can't disobey, can you? After speaking, Ling Yan laughed.

"Yes......" Liu Hui couldn't afford to make such a joke, so he smiled awkwardly, and then was forced to sit opposite Ling Yan.

Ling Yan sandwiched a large piece of meat for Liu Hui and said with a smile: "I ordered you to eat this piece of meat." ”

Liu Hui was very restrained, agreed, and picked up the meat and ate it.

Ling Yan smiled with satisfaction and ate it himself—not to mention, Liu Hui's cooking skills are really good.

During the meal, Ling Yan was chatting with Liu Hui.

After Liu Hui gradually relaxed, Ling Yan said: "Liu Hui, this time I was able to break through Juye City, it all depends on your father and son, you have helped me a lot, I will definitely repay you...... But I can't think of how to repay you, so why don't you say what you want, as long as I can do it, I will help you achieve it. ”

Liu Hui hurriedly put down his chopsticks and arched his hand: "General Yan has promised me to see my father, this is already a favor......

Ling Yan waved his hand indifferently: "This can't be counted, this is what I promised just now, now you want to be individual." ”

Liu Hui said gratefully: "General Yan has been so good to us, how dare I mention anything again?" If I can go home to see my father and live in peace, I will be content. ”

Ling Yan saw that Liu Hui had always "not been on the road", although he was helpless, but there was no way, after thinking about it, he said, "That's it...... You live here in peace now, and when I come back from the crusade against the thieves, I will come back to pick you up and your father, and we will go back to the Great Victory City together. ”

"Great Victory City?" Liu Hui was stunned.

Ling Yan smiled: "That's my place, and it's much more prosperous and safer than here." ”

Liu Hui probably didn't expect him to get this kind of treatment, and he was so excited that he almost cried: "General Yan is so kind to us, I ...... Never forget! ”

Ling Yan pouted mischievously - he was used to hearing this kind of talk, and he didn't feel uncomfortable.

Liu Hui hurriedly said: "General Yan, if you don't think I'm dragging the general, I'm willing to march with the general!" ”

Ling Yan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, you better stay here and accompany your father first...... After that, I don't know what enemies I will encounter, which is very dangerous...... It's always a lot safer in this city. ”

Liu Hui hurriedly said: "General Yan, I'm not the one who is afraid of death!" The general marches all the way, and he definitely needs someone to make food, and I may not be able to help with other helps, but I can make a fire and make food, and I can ......"

Ling Yan smiled: "I'm not saying that you're afraid of death, it's just that I don't want you to take risks, if there is really any accident, what should your father do?" However, I understand your wishes, and if you want to do something for me, then just cook some more delicious food while I'm still here, hehe......"

Seeing that Ling Yan refused to let him accompany him in the crusade, Liu Hui nodded heavily: "That's good!" The general will stay here for a few more days, and I will cook some good dishes for the general. ”

"Good!" Ling Yan was very happy and raised the wine bowl, "This bowl of wine should be regarded as my thank you for your hospitality, I will do it first as a respect!" After speaking, he raised his head and drank all the wine.

After Ling Yan crossed here, he didn't learn anything else, but the amount of alcohol increased day by day, and he also became very bold.

Liu Hui also hurriedly picked up the bowl and drank it all.

After that, they chatted for a while, and just as Ling Yan was in high spirits, a soldier came in and said, "Your general is asking to see you outside the tent." ”

Ling Yan nodded. After a while, You Heng came in.

Ling Yan stood up and smiled at You Heng: "Brother You, you came just in time, I'm having dinner with Liu Hui, come, let's eat together." ”

You Heng looked at Liu Hui, and a hint of indifference appeared in his eyes.

Although Liu Hui was only a civilian, he was not stupid, he probably saw what You Heng meant, and hurriedly stood up and said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, since you have something to discuss, then...... I stepped back. ”

Ling Yan didn't plan to let Liu Hui leave, even if You Heng had something to discuss with him, he didn't care if Liu Hui heard it - Liu Hui was just a civilian after all, not to mention that Ling Yan had a good impression of him. However, seeing that You Heng's meaning was no more obvious, Ling Yan also followed: "Okay, then you go and get busy first, and when I have time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will invite you and your father again." ”

Liu Hui agreed, said goodbye and left.

When Liu Hui came out of the tent, You Heng came over and sat down, looking at the food on the table: "Brother Xian, this meal is all made by Liu Hui?" ”

Ling Yan thought that You Heng was suspecting something, so he said with some puzzlement: "Yes, what's wrong?" This meal...... Any questions? ”

You Heng shook his head: "The food is nothing, but I just think that the virtuous brother is too indulgent." ”

Ling Yan was stunned: "Brother You, what are you talking about...... What is the meaning? ”

You Heng looked at Ling Yan: "Brother Xian, although Liu Hui is meritorious, after all, he still has to abide by the position of dignity and humility, and let a commoner sit on an equal footing with a virtuous brother, for a long time, it will damage the majesty of the virtuous brother." ”

Only then did Ling Yan understand what You Heng meant, he sat down and smiled: "Brother You, then Liu Hui and his father have really helped us a lot this time, otherwise this Juye City may not be able to get hold of it until now." Although he is a civilian, he should be rewarded for his merits...... Let him have a meal with me, it's nothing, don't worry, big brother, I'm measured. ”

You Heng looked at Ling Yan for a long time, but sighed.

Ling Yan felt the meaning of You Heng's sigh: It was obvious that You Heng was "proportionate" to himself, and he felt very "disproportionate".

"Brother You, do you have anything else to tell me?" Ling Yan asked tentatively, he knew that You Heng shouldn't just sigh for Liu Hui.

You Heng pondered for a moment, then asked, "Brother Xian...... The thief promised to heal General Yu's wounds? ”

Ling Yan said happily: "Yes! And he has already given his inner qi. ”

You Heng asked again: "The thief has no internal qi in his body at this time?" ”

Ling Yan said: "There should be some of them, I have seen him emit internal qi, and the light is very faint." ”

You Heng frowned slightly: "Brother Xian, how do you know that the thief general is not a show?" ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Brother You, you are too worried. I was right next to him when Colonel Zuo transmitted the internal qi to the fibrous roots, and I could see the process clearly. The national teacher told me that the root that absorbs internal qi must obtain a large amount of internal qi in order to change color. After Zuo Xiao's internal qi came out, the root of the beard really turned black. No matter how strong Zuo Xiao's internal qi is, after consuming so much internal qi, there shouldn't be much left. ”

You Heng thought for a moment, and then whispered to Ling Yan: "Brother Xian, if this is the case, then this is the best time to kill the thief general of Zuo Xiao. ”

Ling Yan was slightly stunned: "Brother You, Colonel Zuo gave up his internal qi to help me save General Yu, if I take advantage of the fire to rob at this time, it seems to be ...... It's not like a gentleman's doing......"

You Heng smiled a little indifferently: "Brother Xian, have you forgotten how he treated you and our army before?" On several occasions that day, our army was almost wiped out, and even the lives of the two of us could not be saved! ”

Ling Yan recalled that the butcher was killed and Yu Genggen was almost killed by Colonel Zuo from the city, and there was a trace of anger in his heart, but he immediately thought that Colonel Zuo was willing to sacrifice all his internal qi to heal Yu Qianggen's wounds, and it seemed that he could also offset his sins against Colonel; As for the trap that Colonel Zuo set up to defeat his own army in the past, although Ling Yan was very angry at the time, he can understand it now: after all, the purpose of the two armies is to destroy each other! Either this side defeats that side, or that side defeats this side, a life-and-death duel, naturally there will be no mercy, and there will be no mercy on his subordinates.

"Brother You...... You're right," Ling Yan was very embarrassed, "but didn't I already promise him?" It's always bad to be untrustworthy, right? Colonel Zuo has no internal qi now, and he doesn't pose any threat to us at all, even if he kills him, it's just like killing an ordinary person, but this is not very good for the reputation of our army......"

You Heng immediately asked, "Brother Xian, what did you promise him?" Did you promise him not to kill him? ”

Ling Yan thought about it for a while, he had promised Colonel Zuo that he would not kill his Yellow Turban soldiers, but it seemed that he really didn't say that he would not kill Colonel Zuo. He said: "I don't seem to have promised not to kill him, but since he has sincerely surrendered to us, then...... Is it necessary to kill him......"

You Heng asked in a cold voice: "Brother Xian, if you don't kill him, do you want him to march with our army?" ”

Ling Yan did not hesitate and nodded.

You Heng frowned and said slowly: "Brother Xian, there is something I still want to say...... Zuo Xiao and Yu Zhenggen are both generals of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and it is unknown whether they really surrendered...... Once these two suddenly rebel in the army in the future, and then join forces with the thief army, then our army will definitely be in danger! ”

Ling Yan nodded: "What your eldest brother said makes sense. I've thought about this too...... I don't think General Yu will rebel, I think he really surrendered to our army...... As for General Zuo, I don't think he's lying to me, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big sacrifice...... Even if he surrendered by deception, he has no internal qi, what can he do? ”

You Heng didn't speak, and he didn't say anything.

Ling Yan continued: "If they lie to me, of course there will be danger, but I don't think there will be much danger; But if they really surrender, it will be of great benefit to our army......" After a pause, he continued, "Just talking about Colonel Zuo's influence among the Yellow Turban Thieves, it should not be underestimated...... He is the 'Western God General', and he should have a pivotal position in the Yellow Turban Army, if he surrenders to us, then the subsequent crusade and siege will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! If we meet a city guard who is his lieutenant, then we can let him persuade him to surrender, if he can take the city without blood, wouldn't it be the best result? ”

You Heng thought for a moment, then nodded.

Ling Yan continued: "In addition to persuading us to surrender, Colonel Zuo can also offer us strategies to break the city, which is very helpful to us in terms of his strategy...... Besides, Colonel Zuo's martial arts are not bad. ”

You Heng paused for a long time before he said again: "Brother Xian, it's a good thing that you have this fierce general...... It's just that I'm worried about raising tigers......"

Ling Yan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I know, I'll be careful." ”

You Heng nodded reluctantly: "That's fine." ”

After the two chatted for a while, You Heng left.

After Ling Yan had eaten his fill, he felt sleepiness attacking, so he went to lie down and rest.

I don't know how long it took, and in a trance and half-asleep, Ling Yan suddenly heard someone calling him.

Ling Yan rubbed his eyes and looked towards the place where the voice came from: "Who?" ”

A voice behind the door said: "General Yan, the soldiers and horses of Sanzhai have arrived outside Juye City, please make a decision." ”

Ling Yan was overjoyed, immediately refreshed, hurriedly walked outside the door, and asked the soldiers standing outside the door, "All the soldiers and horses of the three camps have arrived?" ”

The soldier replied, "Yes." ”

Ling Yan was very happy, and hurriedly walked out of the house and walked towards the city gate.

When he arrived at the city gate, Ling Yan saw that the city gate was wide open, and outside the gate were Kuai Liang and the others and his thousands of soldiers.

Ling Yan hurriedly walked over and asked Kuai Liang with a smile, "General Kuai, everything is okay?" ”

Kuai Liang arched his hand and said, "There is no accident. But when we arrived here, I saw that the guards on the city were still Yellow Turban soldiers, and I just thought something was wrong, and the city gate was opened, but the guards would not let us in. ”

"Well," Ling Yan nodded, "I haven't had time to change the defenders yet...... Now that the city is in hand, there is no need to rush about other things. ”

At this time, Zhang Yi, Deng Yi, Yang Feng and others also rode to Ling Yan, Ling Yan greeted them one by one, then looked around, and asked Kuai Liang: "General Kuai, those Yellow Turban prisoners also brought them, right?" ”

Kuai Liang said: "General Yan rest assured, they came with us, in the rear army." ”

Ling Yan nodded with satisfaction, and asked Kuai Liang and the other generals to go to the city to rest first, and the soldiers and horses were also sent to settle down. And those Yellow Turban prisoners, Ling Yan also sent troops to escort them to a safe place in the city.

After everything was done, Ling Yan returned to the General's Mansion and slept soundly.

At noon the next day, Ling Yan woke up. I slept quite soundly last night, so after Ling Yan got up, he felt a shock and was very comfortable.

As soon as his heart became happy, Ling Yan couldn't help but hum a pop song - at first glance, humming a pop song in ancient times was quite awkward, but Ling Yan had already adapted to the environment here, so he didn't think it was awkward, he just thought it was a little funny.

Just as he was humming the chorus part of the song, Kuai Liang and Zuo Ci came.

Ling Yan hurriedly stopped his mouth—he didn't want others to feel like he was a psychopath—beckoned the two men to sit down.

After Kuai Liang sat down, he smiled at Ling Yan and said, "I was just about to come to report the military situation to General Yan, and I happened to meet the national teacher, so I came together." ”

Ling Yan had been thinking about Yu Yigen's injury in his heart, and when he saw that Zuo Ci was also there, he hurriedly asked, "National Teacher, how is General Yu's injury?" Does that herb work? ”

Zuo Ci smiled, with a relaxed face, and replied: "Fortunately, General Zuo's internal qi joined, I thought it was General Yu's injury last night, depending on the situation, it has improved greatly, if there is no accident, General Yu will be cured in a month." ”

Ling Yan was overjoyed: "Really? That's great! ”

Zuo Ci nodded, and said: "It's just that General Yu's body is weak during this time, and he must not be moved, otherwise the old wound will recur, and it will be difficult to heal." ”

Ling Yan said happily: "Well, then during this time, I will ask the national teacher to take good care of him, and I will also order someone to cook him more delicious food and make up for him." ”

Zuo Ci smiled and nodded: "This time, General Yu was saved, Colonel Zuo surrendered, and the general got two more fierce generals, congratulations!" ”

When Ling Yan heard Zuo Ci's words, his heart was full of joy: "By the way, how is General Zhang's injury?" ”

Zuo Ci replied: "General Zhang's injuries are no longer serious. ”

Ling Yan couldn't help but praise Zuo Ci again and again.

At this time, Kuai Liang took out a bill and said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, I investigated the situation in the city in the morning, and in addition to the surrender of Zuo School, all the things that our army made up in the city were recorded. ”

Ling Yan suddenly became interested: "Okay, General Kuai told me about it." ”

Kuai Liang read through the things he had recorded one by one—the items recorded in the account were all the items in Juye Castle that could be used to replenish the army, including stored grain and grass, soldiers that could be requisitioned, horses and cloths, weapons and armor, and various things needed for the march.

After listening to this, Ling Yan nodded with satisfaction, thought for a while, and said, "The grain and grass here is enough to supplement our army, but the most important problem we have now is that there are too many casualties among soldiers and horses, and there are not enough troops. Even if the dozen or so Yellow Turban soldiers of Colonel Zuo surrendered to us, it would still not be enough. If you want to attack other cities again, it will be a little difficult to rely on these soldiers alone. ”

Kuai Liang and Zuo Ci both nodded, agreeing with Ling Yan's opinion.

"So, let's recruit as many troops as we can." Ling Yan looked at Kuai Liangdao.

Kuai Liang said: "Yes." Then he will go and take care of it. ”

"Hmm......" Ling Yan thought for a while, "General Kuai, accompany me to see Liu Shi in a while, I want to thank him in person." ”

Kuai Liang agreed. After Zuo Ci retreated, Ling Yan took Kuai Liang to find Liu Hui, and then asked Liu Hui to take them to his home.

Liu Hui seemed a little flattered, and said several times that he would let his father come to the mansion to meet Ling Yan in person, but Ling Yan thought that this seemed to be very insincere, and insisted on refusing, so he had to go to Liu Hui's house. Liu Hui had no choice but to take Ling Yan and Kuai Liang to his house.

Seeing Liu Shi, Ling Yan was naturally very happy and thanked him again and again.
