(Cat flutter Chinese) () The old man looked at the food that looked delicious, and said, "There, it's good for us to eat......

Ling Yan let the old man go again, and the old man moved his chopsticks.

The two of them ate and drank like this for a while, and the old man's demeanor seemed more and more relaxed, and he said more and more.

"General...... You are kind-hearted, and you will definitely ...... Achieve a great career......" After another glass of wine, the old man's face turned red, and he looked at Ling Yan with a smile.

Ling Yan had heard this kind of thing a lot, and now he was used to it. He smiled "hehe": "Grandpa, don't say that, I don't have such a big ambition......"

The old man didn't know if he was a little drunk, or if he really thought that Ling Yan would definitely make a difference in the future, so he sighed: "Alas! The times make heroes! ”

Ling Yan didn't fully understand the meaning of this sentence for a while, but he still smiled and answered: "Grandpa, although the times will create heroes, that hero is definitely not me, hehe......"

The old man smiled: "General, if you are a hero, you will definitely do a lot of things." ”

Ling Yan felt that this old man had a very unfathomable taste, and said with a smile: "Old man, don't call me general, just call me Xiao Yan." ”

Although the old man was a little drunk, he was not drunk to that extent, and when he heard Ling Yan say this, he was greatly surprised: "General...... How is this possible? ”

"There's nothing that can't be done, just call me Xiao Yan, the general general, I don't get used to it." Ling Yan smiled, "By the way, the old man's surname is a big name?" ”

The old man hurriedly said: "The untouchables dare not ...... My name is Liu Shi......"

Ling Yan listened to Liu Shi's tone, very awkward: "Grandpa, you talk to me, don't do that, don't treat me as an official, you are an elder, it should be me who respects you." ”

"Don't you dare!" Liu Shi was very flustered, "As a general, you are naturally superior, as civilians, we should be humble, and we must not mess with moral ......"

Ling Yan knew that the hierarchy of ancient feudal society was very strict, so he had no choice but to say, "Old man, then I have to order...... You call me Xiao Yan......" After speaking, Ling Yan smiled bitterly.

"This ...... This...... How good is that? Liu Shi looked very embarrassed.

Ling Yan was very sympathetic to the old man in front of him, he felt that these people in ancient times were firmly "locked" by the feudal shackles, and it was impossible to change their minds in a short period of time.

In order not to embarrass Liu Shi, Ling Yan had no choice but to say: "Old man, you can call me whatever you want, you can call me a general, it doesn't matter if you call Xiao Yan, I don't care about this...... Grandpa, don't be so restrained, there are not so many courtesies here. ”

Liu Shi looked at Ling Yan stunned for a while, and then said, "General...... You really don't care about the number of courtesies? ”

Ling Yan took a bite of food: "Hmm." ”

Liu Shi didn't know why, sighed, and said again after a while: "General, you are sympathetic to the people, if Juye City is in charge of you, it will be fine......"

Ling Yan hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, what's the matter, isn't that Zuo Colonel good?" ”

Liu Shi sighed again: "Originally, it was okay to have General Li and General Yu to govern, but after General Zuo came, he was in a hurry to recruit troops, and if he didn't comply, he would kill people...... Alas......"

Ling Yan felt a little guilty - if he didn't come to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army, then Colonel Zuo wouldn't come either. But after thinking about it, you can't blame yourself, it's an edict from the imperial court, no matter how you say it, you can't openly oppose the imperial court!

Ling Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Grandpa, your son was also recruited by Colonel Zuo, right?" ”

Liu Shi nodded and said bitterly: "Yes...... We were asleep that day when a group of Yellow Turban soldiers came and took my son away when they saw him...... At that time, we didn't dare to resist, I was afraid that they would kill my son......"

Ling Yan was angry in his heart, and he also had a question: Could it be that Colonel Zuo just wanted to find someone to cook for them?

"I heard that they were conscripting, and I thought that my son was also conscripted by them, and I was very sad, I was afraid that I would never see him again......" Liu Shi burst into tears when he said this.

Ling Yan hurriedly comforted: "Grandpa, don't worry, didn't your son cook for Zuo Xiaoxiao?" ...... who don't have to go to war"

Liu Shi nodded: "Later, others told me that my son was in charge of food and rice in the army, and he was also responsible for cooking for them in the army, so I was a little relieved, thinking that I didn't have to go to the battlefield......

Ling Yan continued: "Yes, as long as you can cook for them, your son will be fine." ”

Liu Shi's face showed a look of disbelief: "But ...... Didn't General Zuo drive us out of the city in the middle of the night, so that we, the unarmed people, would fight against the general...... Even an old bone like me has been driven out by them, so ...... my son" Speaking of this, Liu Shi's face was full of deep worry.

Ling Yan thought for a while and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, Zuo Xiao drove out of the city only ordinary people, and other people are not a last resort, he shouldn't let them go to death casually." Although he said this, he was completely sure of his own words in his heart, and the only thing he was sure of was that Colonel Zuo would never spare anyone's life.

Liu Shi looked a little confused and a little sad: "I dare to ask the general...... General Zuo asked us to leave the city, what the hell is it for......"

Ling Yan smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from you, old man, Colonel Zuo drove you out of the city in order to fight us." ”

Liu Shi was even more puzzled: "We, the people...... How to fight the generals? ”

Ling Yan snorted: "Colonel Zuo is to let the people fight the vanguard, if you fight the vanguard, I won't dare to kill people casually, and he will send troops to attack us in the back." ”

"This ......" Liu Shi looked a little surprised.

Ling Yan's expression was very disdainful: "Colonel Zuo is also poor in donkey skills, and he probably has no other way, so he came up with such a despicable plan, wanting to exchange the lives of the people for the safety of the city." ”

Liu Shi was silent, took a sip of wine, and after a while, he asked Ling Yan a little nervously: "General...... There is one thing that I don't know whether to ask or not......"

Ling Yan said with a smile: "Grandpa can ask whatever he wants, he can ask anything, and I will answer what I know." ”

Liu Shi was encouraged and asked, "General...... What are you leading your army to attack this city for? After asking, he may feel that something is wrong, so he hurriedly added, "If I ask too much that I shouldn't ask, I ask the general for forgiveness." ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Where did the old man say, this is not a secret, even if it is a secret, there is no crime in you asking." ”

Liu Shi's face was full of confusion, maybe he had never heard such words in his life, or maybe he had never seen a general with such a "human xìng" as Ling Yan.

After Ling Yan took a bite of food, he then answered Liu Shi's question: "Old man, I led my troops to attack the city, and it was precisely at the behest of the imperial court that I crusaded against the Yellow Turban thieves and quelled the rebellion. To tell you the truth, after I take this city, I will continue to march and continue to attack the city. ”

"Ahh Liu Shi was a little surprised, "I see...... After the general captures the city, he will stay in the city? ”

"No," Ling Yan smiled, "I will send someone to defend the city, but I will lead the troops to continue the attack." ”

Hearing Ling Yan's words, Liu Shi lowered his head slightly and pondered.

Ling Yan didn't know what Liu Shi was thinking, but he was too embarrassed to disturb, so he ate a few bites of food by himself.

After a while, Liu Shicai raised his head again and said meaningfully: "Alas! The general has lofty ambitions, and he is really a young general! We, the people, don't care who will run this city, we just want to be kind to our people......"

Ling Yan swore and promised: "Grandpa, don't worry, as long as I capture this city, it will definitely be very good to the people in the city, and your son, I will also let him return to your side." ”

Liu Shi's eyes flashed with tears again: "Thank you...... Checkmate. ”

Ling Yan was also a little excited: "Grandpa! Rest assured! I definitely wouldn't be like Colonel Zuo! ”

Liu Shi sighed: "Alas! I heard others say that the Yellow Turban Army is fighting for our poor people, and it will not embarrass the common people...... Actually, before General Zuo came here, he had always been quite stable, and General Li and General Yu were not bad to us......"

Ling Yan also sighed: "Grandpa, Li Damu is dead, he was killed by me." ”

Liu Shi was taken aback, obviously he didn't know much about the situation of the war: "This ...... This ......"

Ling Yan said helplessly: "This is a helpless thing, the two armies are fighting, if I don't kill him, he will kill me......" Originally, Ling Yan didn't have a good impression of Li Damu at all, and he didn't feel a little guilty at all when he killed him, but after hearing Liu Shi say that Li Damu was okay with these people, Ling Yan felt a little guilty, but this feeling was not aimed at Li Damu, but he was just a little sorry for Liu Shi.

Liu Shi was also very considerate of Ling Yan's difficulty, but asked again, "That...... What about General Yu? General Yu is a good person! ”

Ling Yan was a little surprised that Liu Shi also thought that Yu Yigen was a good person, and secretly admired his vision, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, General Yu is not dead, he has surrendered to our army, it's just ...... It's just that he's seriously injured now. ”

"Ahh Liu Shi exclaimed, "General Yu, he ...... You okay? ”

Ling Yan briefly told Liu Shi what had happened, naturally, the focus of the narrative was only on the part where Zuo Xiaojun threw Gengen down the city, and the others were all mentioned in one sentence.

After Liu Shi heard this, he was shocked again: "General...... Is that true? General Zuo took it seriously...... Did that? ”

Ling Yan nodded: "I didn't lie to you. ”

Liu Shi was silent and took several sips of wine.

Ling Yan saw that the time had come, so he said, "Grandpa, I invited you here just to ask you to do me a favor...... Help me defeat Colonel Zuo. ”

Liu Shi's body shook slightly: "This ...... I'm an old man, how can I help the general? ”

Ling Yan said slowly: "Grandpa, isn't your son cooking for Colonel Zuo's army?" I wanted you to bring something for your son. ”

Liu Shi was puzzled: "What does the general want me to give him?" ”

"Poison." Ling Yan said word by word, "Let your son mix this medicine into the meal and give it to Colonel Zuo." ”

Liu Shi was shocked: "This ...... How does this work? ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "It's okay, I think Colonel Zuo shouldn't be able to find out......" After speaking, Ling Yan's face was heavy, "Grandpa, I have no other way, forcibly attack the city, I have tried many times, not only can I not capture the city, but our army has also suffered heavy losses." ”

Liu Shi frowned tightly, didn't say a word, and drank vigorously.

Seeing Liu Shi's hesitation, Ling Yan hurriedly promised: "Grandpa, as long as this matter helps me, after taking the city, I will definitely treat you and your son well." ”

Liu Shi raised his head and looked at Ling Yan, his tone revealing embarrassment: "General...... I can see that you are a good officer...... It's just that if it doesn't work out, then my son ......"

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "It will definitely succeed!" The left school won't find out! ”

Liu Shi frowned: "That...... If we hadn't poisoned them all, our whole family wouldn't have survived......"

Ling Yan said: "Grandpa, don't worry, this poison is not fatal, and ordinary people don't feel anything after eating it." "Cat flutter Chinese
