Lu Tiecheng paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "General Yan, how do you know if he is a 'good general'?" ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said, "General Lu, I can see it...... Isn't it proved that in the course of battle, he fought valiantly against the enemy, and never retreated, so that he was seriously wounded? ”

Lu Tiecheng laughed a few times, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "General Yan, I have always had a question. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"What doubts...... General Lu just asked. ”

Lu Tiecheng stared at Ling Yan tightly: "As far as I know, Yan Liang is one of the four fierce generals under Yuan Shao, his martial arts are by no means under Zhang Mancheng, you have healing and internal qi protection, you may be able to escape, but He Rong's kind of general, after fighting Yan Liang, how could it be that he just suffered a shoulder injury?" As far as I know, few people who have fought with Yan Liang can get out of the way. ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "Yan Liang is indeed powerful, but at that time, several generals besieged him, although he couldn't defeat him, but he was also difficult to fight, so naturally he wouldn't easily kill our generals!" ”

Lu Tiecheng smiled meaningfully: "The siege of several of your generals is just a sheep in the mouth of a tiger for him. ”

Ling Yan said: "General Lu, although Yan Liang is powerful, he is just a military general, if it wasn't for Gao Ran to pick him up at that time, I should have been able to kill him!" ”

Lu Tiecheng sneered a few times and pondered for a moment: "By the way, speaking of Gao Lan, since you are kind to him, why did he save Yan Liang?" ”

Ling Yan replied: "He said that he must save Yan Liang, but he also promised me that he would not lead the troops to attack the city, if he attacked the city at that time, I am afraid that our army would ......."

"Oh? Does that mean that Gao Ran can be regarded as repaying your kindness? Lu Tiecheng said with a smile.

"Hmm...... It's ......"

"Good!" Lu Tiecheng looked at Niu Jiao, "General Niu, quickly send a messenger to send a letter to Yuan Shao to express his gratitude." ”

Ling Yan was stunned for a moment: "General Lu, you can't send it, wouldn't Yuan Shao be guilty of General Gao Lan?" ”

Lu Tiecheng smiled: "Yes...... General Niu, then send a letter to General Gao Ran to express his gratitude. ”

"Yes!" The horn at the door answered, opened the door and walked out.

Ling Yan didn't know what Lu Tiecheng meant, so he had to say, "That'...... Thank you, General Lu. ”

Lu Tiecheng said with a smile: "Why should General Yan be so polite...... It's all very polite, but when it comes to doing it, it's not polite at all. ”

A cold sweat broke out on Ling Yan's forehead again: "General Lu, this incident is my fault, I just don't want us to lose a general in vain, I really don't mean anything else......"

Before he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Ling Yan looked back, only to see You Heng walking in in a flash.

When You Heng saw Ling Yan and Lu Tiecheng, his expression was slightly embarrassed, and he arched his hand and said, "General Yan, General Lu." ”

Lu Tiecheng's face darkened suddenly.

Ling Yan knew that You Heng had already committed a big taboo by breaking into the main general's room so rashly, so he hurriedly asked You Heng: "General You, come to General Lu, is there something wrong?" ”

You Heng hesitated for a moment: "Heng Fang just went to General Yan's mansion, and when he heard that General Yan was being found by General Lu, he came to take a look. ”

After Ling Yan heard this, he was embarrassed.

"Hmph, General You, are you afraid that I will harm General Yan? So he came to the rescue? Lu Tiecheng sneered.

"Not really...... So. "You Heng is a little confused.

Lu Tiecheng sneered: "General You, let's be honest with you, even if I want to harm General Yan, it is useless for you to come, but you will only die one more life." ”

You Heng looked at Lu Tiecheng with a complicated expression.

Ling Yan was nervous for a while, and hurriedly said to Lu Tiecheng: "General Lu, General You don't have this intention, please don't misunderstand General Lu......"

Lu Tiecheng ignored Ling Yan and said coldly to You Heng: "Now that you see that General Yan is safe and sound, are you relieved?" ”

You Heng didn't speak, just looked at Lu Tiecheng.

"Get out!" Lu Tiecheng suddenly roared.

Ling Yan was startled, and hurriedly said to Youheng: "General You, you can withdraw first, I want to discuss some things with General Lu." ”

You Heng looked at Lu Tiecheng coldly for a long time before he said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, the last general has retired first. ”

Ling Yan nodded hurriedly.

You Heng flicked his sleeves and went out.

Ling Yan turned his head to look at Lu Tiecheng: "General Lu, don't be angry, General You are just ...... It's just that....... ”

"Humph! Just what? I think that's what he meant! "Lu Tiecheng is full of tunnels.

Ling Yan was nervous in his heart, and hurriedly explained to You Heng: "General Lu, General Lu is just a little quick-tempered, and he is a little rushed to do things and talk, but he definitely has no intention of being disrespectful to Lu Tiecheng in his heart. ”

"Really?" Lu Tiecheng said coldly, "Then the words he said behind my back before didn't mean to be disrespectful?" ”

Ling Yan was stunned: "What words?" ”

Lu Tiecheng sneered: "Before you sent out to fight, what he said to you, General Yan wouldn't remember so badly, right?" Forgot about it so quickly? ”

Ling Yan suddenly remembered that You Heng had come to find him before and said some opinions about Lu Tiecheng, but there were only two of them in the room at that time, how could Lu Tiecheng know?

"I didn't ...... No, before you General was just ...... It's just a matter of discussing with me whether or not to send troops, anything else...... I didn't say it...... "Ling Yan was weak-hearted, and he didn't have so much confidence in what he said.

Lu Tiecheng waved his hand: "Hmph! General Yan, I advise you, don't have so close contact with You Heng in the future, otherwise...... He'll kill you. ”

Ling Yan swallowed: "Uh...... I know. ”

"I removed you today, just to warn you, but after all, you are also from the modern era, and you can be regarded as our own people, but if you have always been close to those ancient people of You Heng, not only me, but even General Ling, will be suspicious, and when the time comes, it will be too late for you to regret it...... Since General Ling can push a person to the position of the chief general, he can also depose him...... General Ling's internal qi is not something that you and You Heng can defeat together. Lu Tiecheng said coldly.

Ling Yan was shocked again: "General Lu, we will definitely not oppose General Ling!" ”

"Even if we don't rebel, General Ling doesn't want our own people to have too close contact with them," Lu Tiecheng said, "Moreover, even if you don't rebel, how do you know that You Heng won't rebel?" ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said, "Your general must be loyal to us!" ”

Lu Tiecheng sneered: "It should be said that You Heng is loyal to General Yan...... He also instigated you to send troops directly without replying to my letter, right? ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "That matter has nothing to do with You Heng, it is all decided by me, they are just acting according to orders." ”

"Oh? They really listen to you," Lu Tiecheng sneered, "So...... General Yan, do you dare to oppose me everywhere? ”

Ling Yan was shocked: "General Lu, I'm just bent on expanding our power, how can I say that I'm against you, General Lu?" Again...... Even if it's ...... If you do it right, what's in it for me? ”

Lu Tiecheng said with a smile: "Suppress me, you will be the real 'second-in-command' in the Great Victory City General Yan." ”

Ling Yan felt extremely aggrieved, and hurriedly said: "General Lu, I have absolutely no interest in this kind of fame, and I have never thought about being any 'second-in-command', I ...... I just want to help General Ling, that's all. It's true! General Lu, please believe me! ”

Although Ling Yan's tone was very sincere, Lu Tiecheng didn't buy it, and just said coldly: "Really? Is General Yan really thinking so? ”

Ling Yan nodded affirmatively: "General Lu, I really think so. ”

Lu Tiecheng stared coldly at Ling Yan's eyes: "Okay, then let me ask you, did you change the taxes of the Great Victory City?" ”

Ling Yan calmed down at this time: "Yes, I changed it." ”

"The tax was negotiated between General Ling and me, do you know?" Lu Tiecheng asked coldly.

Ling Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes...... I know ......"

"You know all of this, and then you have to change it, right?" Lu Tiecheng's tone became more and more stern.

Ling Yan hurriedly explained: "General Lu, the taxes in the Great Victory City are too high, and the people can't afford it!" ”

Lu Tiecheng smiled strangely: "General Yan, it seems that you are still very considerate of the people, it's rare!" ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "General Lu, I am not only thinking about the people, but also for ourselves!" I heard that when General Ling first raised taxes, the people gathered to rebel once. If taxes are not suppressed, force alone will not win the hearts and minds of the people. Ling Yan told him what he had learned about reading the Three Kingdoms novels.

Lu Tiecheng frowned: "Who told you about that incident?" ”

"Uh...... Ling Yan hesitated, "It was a common man who told me. "He didn't want to talk about Le'er.

"Bold!" Lu Tiecheng said angrily, "Who doesn't want to live and dares to talk nonsense!" ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "General Lu, even if you can block the mouths of the people, but if you lose the hearts of the people, the gains outweigh the losses!" And if it continues like this, it is inevitable that the people will not rebel for the second time, and the third rebellion, what should we do when the time comes? ”

Lu Tiecheng said angrily: "They rebel once, I will suppress them once!" It's just a matter of killing a few people, what's so difficult? General Yan! I can also tell you that General Ling has occupied the two cities of the Yellow Turban Thieves this time, and the taxes have been raised to the level of the Great Victory City, I see who dares to rebel! ”

Ling Yan was speechless: "This ......"

"General Yan! I hope you can distinguish between friend and foe, you want to win people's hearts so much, it's useless! Even if all the people of a city rebel, I can still lead troops to pacify them! Lu Tiecheng said sharply.

Ling Yan plucked up his courage and said, "General Lu, if you do this, it will be detrimental to our ......."

"Don't lecture me!" Lu Tiecheng said angrily, "I have already transferred the taxes back!" I'm going to see what can happen to me! General Yan, you are no longer the main general, and you are not qualified to take care of this matter anymore! ”

Ling Yan's heart was very complicated, but on the surface, he couldn't say anything, so he had to say, "Okay...... Then I don't care. ”

Lu Tiecheng said coldly: "General Yan, I'm not afraid to tell you, since I knew that you dropped the tax without authorization, I was very dissatisfied with you, if someone else did this, I would have cut off his head long ago!" But after all, you are a modern person, and you have a good relationship with General Ling, so I can't bear to do that. ”

Ling Yan was not surprised at all, he knew that Lu Tiecheng had been hostile to him since he had always wanted to kill him, and it was definitely not once or twice that he wanted to kill him.

"Thank you General Lu for not killing." Ling Yan hurriedly replied.

Lu Tiecheng said coldly: "I don't kill you, it's not because I don't dare to kill you, it's because I can't bear it, understand?" ”

"Hmm...... Got it. ”

"It's good that you understand," Lu Tiecheng said coldly, "General Yan, let me ask you a question, I hope you will tell me the truth." ”

Ling Yan exhaled lightly: "Well, I won't lie to General Lu." ”

Lu Tiecheng stared at Ling Yan's eyes: "General Yan...... What about Hua Tuo's book? You're there, right? ”

Ling Yan was shocked, but he asked rhetorically, "What book?" ”

Lu Tiecheng smiled coldly: "General Yan, what book do you not know?" Since Hua Tuo has passed on all his internal qi to you, how could he not teach you that book? ”

Ling Yan still pretended to be stupid: "General Lu, I really don't know what books are, Hua Tuo didn't give me any books, he just passed on his internal qi to me." He was very strange in his heart: How could Lu Tiecheng know about that book?
