Chapter 144: A New General (1)
Ling Yan adjusted his breath, then smiled and said to the general, "Well, it doesn't matter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" After speaking, he shook off the blood stains on the body of the Moon Knife, put away the knife, and then he carefully pulled out the hidden weapon on his arm and threw it to the ground.
At this time, Wen Ping and the others also came to Ling Yan's side, clasped their fists and said in unison: "General Yan is strategic, he is really both civil and military!" ”
Ling Yan knew that most of this kind of words were still compliments, because in the Three Kingdoms, "fraud" was a very ordinary strategy, if it weren't for Yuan Cheng's stupid brain, if he was someone else, he would probably not fall for the trick at all. But after all, his plan was successful, and he felt a sense of accomplishment, so he smiled: "Everyone won the prize, I just came up with it temporarily, but I didn't expect him to really win the plan." ”
"Hmph, how can an unknown person like him see through General Yan's scheme? He's damned! Lu Gong said resentfully, and after speaking, he glanced at the general.
However, the general's face was worried, but he didn't notice this glance of Lu Gong.
You Heng came close and looked at Ling Yan's wound: "General Yan, does it really matter?" ”
Ling Yan also glanced at the wound - the wound was not hit, but a little blood flowed out, and said indifferently: "It's okay, this little injury, don't worry about it." ”
At this time, the military general suddenly knelt on the ground again, and his voice was full of uneasiness: "General Yan, it is really a capital crime for us to offend the general's body!" I hope the general will forgive! ”
Ling Yan smiled: "General, please get up, this has nothing to do with the general, it was Yuan Cheng who had to kill me, so I had to kill him...... In that case, I would like to ask the general to forgive me for killing your brother. ”
The military general was still kneeling, and said hurriedly: "The general's words are serious!" The general's words are serious! Yuan Cheng and I are not brothers, but we have known him for a long time, so we call each other brothers...... Today, he didn't listen to dissuasion and brought disaster upon himself, how could he blame General Yan? ”
Ling Yan turned over and dismounted, and helped the general with a smile: "General, get up quickly...... By the way, I don't know the general's name yet! ”
The general was terrified: "Don't dare! The last general's surname is Zhang Minghong, and Yuan Cheng is entrenched in this mountain, and he ...... on weekdays On weekdays, I rob some grain and grass to make a living......"
When General Nawu said that his name was Zhang Min, Ling Yan was stunned, and he didn't hear the words too clearly.
Of course, Ling Yan knew who Zhang Min was, in the novel he was a veteran of the Yellow Turban Army, and after he surrendered to Tao Qian, he took the opportunity to kill Cao Cao's father and others, which led to Cao Cao's determination to bloody Xuzhou, but in the end he was resolved by Liu Bei and others.
When reading the novel, Ling Yan's impression of Zhang Min was that he was a "traitor", with no special likes and dislikes, but in reality, the Zhang Min in front of him made Ling Yan a little fond of it.
Just as Ling Yan was thinking about it, Lu Gong next to him sneered at him: "In this way, General Zhang turned out to be just a bandit!" ”
When Zhang Min heard Lu Gong's words, he was not angry, but said ashamedly: "Yes...... The sunset grass is really a last resort, not the will of the Min, and the Min also wants to leave here from time to time, but he hates not to meet the master...... I am fortunate to meet General Yan today, and it is really a great relief! I also hope that General Yan will not give up and collect it under the account. I will do my best to repay the kindness of the encounter! ”
Ling Yan thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no harm in accepting Zhang Min's Baili, first and foremost, the most important point was to strengthen the strength of the army, after all, there were so many soldiers who had won a general; Secondly, Ling Yan also had a good impression of Zhang Min and was willing to take him as his subordinate. Moreover, Ling Yan also had a subconscious consideration: if Zhang Min was included in the account, then there should not be such a thing as "Tao Qian sent Zhang Min to escort Cao Cao's family, and Zhang Min killed Cao Cao's family on the way", which may avoid the outbreak of a war, or in other words, destroy Cao Cao's pretext for finding a legitimate reason to capture the rich Xuzhou.
Based on these thoughts, Ling Yan agreed to Zhang Min's request with a smile: "I can't get General Zhang's full help, I really can't ask for it." ”
Zhang Min was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you General Yan for not giving up!" Nearly 4,000 brothers under a certain subordinate, as well as a lot of grain, grass, weapons and materials on the mountain, I wish all of them belonged to General Yan! ”
Ling Yan was extremely happy, and improvised a sentence of the ancient standard "Tianda sycophant": "Thank you, General Zhang!" I have to get General Zhang alone, more than tens of thousands of soldiers and horses! ”
"General Yan has a good reputation!" Zhang Min was very happy with this kind of praise, and he didn't know what words to use to pay tribute to Ling Yan. Suddenly, he saw the wound on Ling Yan's arm at a glance, but his face suddenly became worried, "General Yan...... The wound on your arm......"
Ling Yan was happy in his heart, where would he care about that little wound, he shook his arm vigorously and said with a smile: "Look, it's not in the way at all!" ”
Zhang Min still looked very worried: "General Yan ......"
Ling Yan sensed that Zhang Min's expression was wrong, and asked puzzledly, "General Zhang, what's wrong?" ”
Zhang Min muttered at this time: "General Yan, you don't know anything...... There was nothing in this secret weapon, but not long ago, Yuan Cheng met a person by chance, that person seemed to be quite proficient in medical skills, teaching Yuan Cheng an unknown secret method, that secret method will refine ordinary drugs into highly toxic liquid, if this venom enters the body, it will be seriously injured, and the internal organs will be ulcerated...... That person said this, Yuan Cheng didn't know why, he just believed that person. After the man left, Yuan Cheng smeared all his hidden weapons with this venom...... Just now I saw that Yuan Chengzheng was using this poison dart, so I was worried about General Yan's injury. ”
After listening to this, Ling Yan didn't think about any poisonous dart, but "that person" in Zhang Min's mouth, and began to hear Zhang Min say that person was quite proficient in medicine, Ling Yan immediately remembered Hua Tuo, and thought that Yuan Cheng met his grandfather. But then Zhang Min said that the man taught Yuan Cheng what kind of venom to make, and Ling Yan denied his idea, he knew that although his grandfather was skilled in medicine, he would definitely not study any method of making poison.
However, Ling Yan still held on to a glimmer of hope and asked Zhang Min: "General Zhang, who is the person you are talking about?" ”
Zhang Min thought for a while and said, "This last general really doesn't know, and Yuan Cheng doesn't know either." The man only said that he lived in Langya Kingdom, and said nothing else. ”
"Oh ......" In fact, Ling Yan didn't have much hope, after all, in the Three Kingdoms era, there were still many people who were proficient in medical skills, not only Hua Tuo.
At this time, You Heng said coldly to Zhang Min: "General Zhang, is it because the two of you intercepted him on the road, and he was afraid that he would be harmed by you, so he taught Yuan Cheng the secret method?" ”
You Heng's tone and words were obviously dissatisfied with Zhang Min, and he vaguely reprimanded Zhang Min for letting Yuan Cheng learn this poisonous method because they intercepted passers-by, which would lead to Ling Yan being hit by this poisonous dart now.
Zhang Min hurriedly pleaded: "No! That day, the man went up the mountain and encountered a wild beast, and we happened to pass by, so he rescued him, and he taught him the secret method in order to repay Yuan Cheng. ”
"Hmph." You Heng's expression didn't seem to believe Zhang Min's words.
Ling Yan didn't hear what they said, his mind was thinking about whether he was going to go to Langya Country, but when he thought that he still had a task on his body and couldn't delay, he dispelled this thought.
Zhang Min didn't care, but looked at Ling Yan, seeing that Ling Yan didn't care about his injury, Zhang Min's expression became anxious: "General Yan, although I haven't tried this poison, don't be careless!" ”
