Volume 2 The Battle of the Yellow Turban Chapter 343 Staged a double reed

(Cat flutter Chinese) () Ling Yan estimated that the situation was not good, and he was anxious. He let the wounded soldiers rest on the spot, and then led the army forward again.

After the soldiers and horses walked for a while, they saw Zhang Yi and Zuo Ci rushing over.

Ling Yan was very happy, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "National Teacher! General Zhang! Are you alright? ”

Zhang Yi was covered in blood, and it seemed that his injuries were not light, he saw Ling Yan leading the army to come, and there was finally a trace of surprise on his pale face, he turned over and dismounted and knelt on the ground, and the expression on his face turned into deep grief: "General Yan! Sorry! The last general failed to hold the camp ......"

Ling Yan saw that Zhang Yi was out of breath and looked weak, where could he still say the words of punishment? Besides, he knew that Zhang Yi had no responsibility at all for this defeat.

"General Zhang! Hurry up, please! It's not your fault......" Ling Yan hurriedly dismounted and helped Zhang Yi up.

At this time, Zuo Ci sighed lightly and said, "General Yan, in order to repel the enemy army, General Zhang fought with the enemy for hundreds of rounds, and only then did he barely repel the enemy who was covering up, otherwise...... I'm afraid we've been killed by the enemy......"

Ling Yan hurriedly said to Zhang Yi: "General Zhang, you have made a meritorious contribution to retreating from the enemy, thank you!" I'll heal you in a while, don't worry, it's okay. After speaking, he looked at Zuo Ci again: "National Teacher, are you injured?" ”

Zuo Ci said movingly: "It's all up to General Zhang to protect him to the death, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to see the general!" ”

Ling Yan breathed a sigh of relief, although the camp was lost and the soldiers were defeated, but in the end, Zhang Yi and the national teacher were not killed by the enemy, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune!

Ling Yan ordered the army to be stationed here, and all the soldiers recuperated, and sent three troops and horses, one of which was responsible for patrolling guards, in case of another enemy attack; the other went not far away to fetch the rest of the wounded; The third group continued towards the camp to see if there were any wounded soldiers along the way, and to check the situation of the camp.

The sergeants were already hungry, and after setting up their tents, they were all busy making fires and making food. And Ling Yan healed Zhang Yi's injuries in the tent - Zhang Yi's wounds were more and more serious, but fortunately, he was wearing armor, and the wounds were not very deep.

Ling Yan spent a lot of internal qi to finish healing Zhang Yi's injuries, and then ordered the soldiers to help him to rest.

After that, Ling Yan sent someone to bring it in.

After a while, Duke Lu escorted Yu Gengen to Ling Yan's tent.

Yu Yigen came to Ling Yan, snorted coldly, and turned his head to look to the side.

Ling Yan saw that Yu Geng was tied up with five flowers all over his body, and suddenly remembered the story of "Zhang Feiyi Explains Yan Yan", so he immediately got up and untied the rope on Lu Gen's body.

Lu Gong was greatly surprised by Ling Yan's actions, and although he didn't say anything, his hand tightly grasped the saber on his waist, in case Yu Yan suddenly attacked.

However, Ling Yan didn't seem nervous at all, because he always thought that the ancient people, especially the military generals, were still very decent and righteous, and they shouldn't do that kind of despicable thing to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack, especially when it was good for them.

After Ling Yan loosened the rope on Yu Yigen's body, he returned to his seat and let Yu Yigen sit opposite him.

However, Yu Yigen didn't look very appreciative, and looked at Ling Yan with a sneer: "What do you mean by this?" yΓΉ made me grateful, and I surrendered to you? ”

Ling Yan looked at Yu Yigen and smiled, "Yes, that's what I meant." ”

Yu Yigen probably didn't expect Ling Yan to admit it immediately, he was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Hmph! I advise you to dispel this idea! If you give me good wine and food, I will not fall to you, who is accustomed to despicable schemes! ”

Lu Gong couldn't help it, and scolded sharply: "You arrogant! If you don't have a plan, you will say that you have no plan! Where is meanness? Fang was captured, and his exit was not inferior, if it weren't for General Yan's generosity, how could he keep you! You really don't know what to do, but now you dare to speak out, is it possible that you don't want to live? ”

Yu Yigen snorted coldly at Lu Gong, but he didn't say anything more.

Ling Yan waved his hand at Lu Gong, and then said to Lu Gen with a smile: "General Yu, I believe that you will definitely surrender to me, but now you are full of hostility towards me, no matter what I say, you will not listen, but after a little time, you may calm down." ”

Yu Gengen was furious: "Even after a few decades, I will not surrender to you, a traitor!" ”

Ling Yan smiled: "They all say that the Yellow Turban Army is a traitor, why do you say that I am a traitor?" ”

Yu Gengen said angrily: "The Yellow Turban Army is a heavenly soldier who obeys the will of the people, but you are not a traitor, are you a traitor?" ”

Ling Yan shook his head: "I don't know if you are following the will of the people, but I have never bullied the people. ”

Yu Yigen sneered: "Hmph, you officers and soldiers, which one is not a thief who oppresses the people!" How can you frighten me with the words of a thief like you! ”

Ling Yan sighed and made a gesture towards Lu Gong, motioning for him to go outside the tent to guard.

Lu Gong was worried that Yu Yigen would take the opportunity to be unfavorable to Ling Yan, so he hesitated and didn't want to leave.

Ling Yan signaled again, indicating that nothing would happen, and Lu Gong hesitated and walked out.

Yu Yigen looked at Ling Yan's movements, and his tone was full of disdain: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Ling Yan looked at Yu Yigen, and the expression on his face became very sincere: "General Yu, I have to admit that no matter what kind of general I am, I am still just a child, and I am really not good at marching and fighting...... Before, I said that I could take Juye immediately, but I saw things too simply, and the vanguard was defeated by you before, and the back village was also robbed, so I realized that the battle was really not so simple......"

Yu Yigen snorted: "It's good to know." ”

Ling Yan said helplessly: "However, General Ling was ordered by the imperial court to send me to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army...... I am on the orders of General Ling, if I am defeated, it is a big deal to go back and deal with it according to military law, but General Ling has not fulfilled the will of the imperial court, then the crime will be great...... General Ling is not kind to me, and I can't let him suffer this crime, so I must do my best to quell the rebellious army. ”

Yu Yigen snorted disdainfully: "What's the matter with me?" ”

Ling Yan smiled a little helplessly: "I want to win, at least to capture Juye City, only with my own strength, I know it is difficult to do, so I must get your help." ”

Yu Yigen said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense anymore!" I will not betray General Chu! ”

Ling Yan looked at Yu Yigen with a stunned expression for a long time before he sighed slowly: "Okay...... General Yu is a minister and two masters, and his loyalty is awe-inspiring, and I am not reluctant...... However, I hope that General Yu will answer me a question...... I know that there must be at least one resourceful strategist in Juye City who is giving advice to Li Damu, otherwise with these strategists under my command, I will never suffer such a big loss......"

Yu Yigen snorted coldly a few times as if he were sneering.

Ling Yan also smiled bitterly: "But I know that the person who plotted is not Li Damu...... I would like to ask General Yu to tell me who this person is...... Is that possible? ”

Yu Yigen thought for a moment, and then sneered: "Okay! It doesn't hurt to tell you! These schemes are all offered by General Zuo! ”

"General Zuo?" Ling Yan was stunned, "Who is he?" ”

Yu Yigen smiled proudly: "It is the general under the account of the 'General Rengong', one of the generals of the Quartet, and the general of the West God, General Zuo!" ”

Ling Yan was stunned again, he had heard of the name "Zuo Xiao", but as far as he knew, this person was just an unknown young general in the story of the Three Kingdoms, but he didn't expect that he would have such a big background and title here!

Seeing that Ling Yan was stunned, Yu Yigen said proudly: "I'm not afraid to tell you, the plan to send troops to set up ambushes along the way, ambush heavy troops outside the city, cut off your back roads, and rob your camp are all offered by General Zuo!" ”

"Oh!" Ling Yan finally revealed the mystery in his heart, "Then this Colonel Zuo is now in Juye City?" ”

After hearing Ling Yan's question, Yu Yigen didn't answer immediately, and Shen SΓ¨ became a little as if he had concerns, but he only hesitated for a moment, and then sneered as if he had figured it out: "Okay! It doesn't hurt to tell you! General Zuo is not in Juye Castle now, but he is leading his army to help! ”

Ling Yan was puzzled: "Since he is coming, why can he offer a plan?" ”

"Haha!" Yu Yigen laughed, as if Ling Yan had asked some stupid question, "General Li informed General Zuo about the advance of your thief army, and General Zuo returned a bag with these strategies hidden in it!" ”

Ling Yan was surprised, he only knew that Kong Ming and Cao Cāo would occasionally use the trick under very special circumstances, but he didn't expect that even the Yellow Turban Army had learned this method!

Ling Yan thought again: If Yu Yigen hadn't lied to him, then that Zuo Colonel was really not an ordinary person!

Thinking of this, Ling Yan suddenly had a sense of urgency, and he intuitively felt that he had to take Juye City before Zuo Xiao rushed to help! Otherwise, when the left colonel arrives with the troops, it will be even more difficult to take Juye!

However, if you want to take Juye as soon as possible, you must rely on the help of Root - get more information about Juye Castle from his mouth. But Yu Yigen insisted on refusing to surrender, and he refused to say anything, which ...... What to do?

Seeing the bitterness on Ling Yan's face, Yu Yigen sneered, "Hmph...... That's what I'm telling you, and how can you do it to Juye Castle! Not to mention that General Zuo will come to help, even if General Li guards Juye City alone, what can you do! Even if you are given ten years and August, how can you break through it again! ”

Ling Yan knew that Yu Gengen wanted to defeat him on the psychological defense line, but he didn't refute anything, but nodded helplessly: "What General Yu said, although I don't want to admit it, I'm afraid it's true...... Alas! But thank you to the general for telling me this, so I'll ask the general to rest now......"

After speaking, Ling Yan called Lu Gong and took him out. Yu Yigen did not resist, and only saw a trace of victory on his face.

Ling Yan was so upset that he didn't even take a few bites of the food brought by the soldiers.

Ling Yan looked at the food in the bowl, he had no appetite at all, and after sighing heavily, he stood up, walked towards the outside of the tent, and looked at the large number of soldiers around him—even rì came, only then could he relax his nerves and eat a full meal, so those soldiers were all around the stove fire, gobbling up the not very delicious food.

When Ling Yan saw this situation, he couldn't help but think of those soldiers who were killed on the battlefield, and his heart was sad again, his nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears. He couldn't bear to touch the scene anymore, sighed and returned to the tent lonely.

All this was seen by Zuo Ci not far away. Seeing that Ling Yan was in a trance, Zuo Ci stood up and followed Ling Yan into the tent.

When Ling Yan saw Zuo Ci coming in, he smiled reluctantly: "The national teacher has also eaten?" ”

Zuo Ci smiled and shook his head: "I saw that General Yan was restless and miserable, so I came to share my worries for the general." ”

Ling Yan smiled bitterly: "I'm just annoyed by attacking Juye City, the national teacher will go eat first." ”

Zuo Ci smiled and said: "The general is worried about big things, how can Ci go because of eating?" ”

Ling Yan smiled reluctantly in response: "No matter how sad I am, I can't capture Juye City, what's the use?" ”

Zuo Ci heard that Ling Yan's tone was a little deflated, so he shook his head: "The general's words are wrong. It is not easy to attack the city and seize the land, and the general only lost the first battle, so why should he be so depressed? ”

Ling Yan sighed: "I have already talked to Yu Yigen, and he has told me some inside information. ”

"Oh? What did he say? The national teacher asked.

Ling Yan recounted the process and content of the previous conversation with Yu Gengen.

After hearing this, Zuo Ci frowned: "Yu Gengen's words are not false...... After speaking, he looked at Ling Yan, "In that case, can the general come up with a plan to attack the city?" ”

Ling Yan sighed: "I originally thought a lot about the siege plan, but now it seems that it doesn't work very well. I think the only chance to take the city is to take it before the enemy reinforcements arrive. Otherwise, when the reinforcements arrive, if you want to attack the city, I am afraid that it will be more difficult, and if you don't get it right, you will be attacked by the enemy from both sides. ”

Zuo Ci nodded, agreeing with Ling Yan's statement.

Ling Yan sighed and continued: "However, Juye City is far from being as easy to attack as imagined, Yu Yigen once said that Juye City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also guarded by Li Damu, which is more stable. Although what he said may not be accurate, it seems that it is really very difficult to take this city with the courage of a horseman...... I believe that in order to break through the gate as soon as possible, only by understanding the situation in Juye Castle clearly can we know where the weak points are. ”

Zuo Ci nodded again.

Ling Yan said dejectedly: "If Yu Yigen surrenders to us, then I can get all the information about Juye City from him, but ...... It seems that Yu Gengen will not obey to the death, that is, he will not surrender to us...... I just felt very annoyed because I couldn't think of a solution. ”

"Hmm......" Zuo Ci pondered for a moment, and then said slowly to Ling Yan: "If you want to make that Yu Gen surrender, maybe it won't be difficult......

When Ling Yan heard Zuo Ci say this, he was overjoyed: "Does the national teacher have a clever plan? Please tell me soon! ”

Zuo Ci thought for a while and said: "Then Yu Gengen is unwilling to surrender, just because he doesn't want to betray the Yellow Turban Army, if the general can use a plan to drive a wedge between him and Li Damu, then maybe he can force him to surrender to us." ”

Ling Yan thought about Zuo Ci's words, suddenly understood, and hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said, "The national teacher's clever plan!" Alas! Why didn't I come up with it! ”

Zuo Ci returned the salute and smiled modestly: "This plan is only a conjecture, whether it can be implemented is not yet expected, and the general still needs to consider it carefully." ”

Ling Yan said excitedly: "The national teacher's plan is very good! Absolutely! ”

Zuo Ciqi said: "General Yan already has a plan? ”

"Hmm...... Not specific yet," Ling Yan was still excited, "but I already have a general idea!" ”

Zuo Ci arched his hand and said: "Then please come up with a foolproof plan for the general, and retire first to heal the soldiers." ”

"Hmm!" Ling Yan smiled happily, "The national teacher should go to eat first, fill your stomach, and then have the strength to do things!" Hehe......"

Zuo Ci thanked him and said goodbye and left the camp.

After Zuo Ci left, Ling Yan thought carefully for half an hour and finally came up with a plan.

After making up his mind, Ling Yan immediately found a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and then called a messenger to come in and handed the letter to him: "You hurry up and hand over this secret letter to General Li in Juye City, and say that I wrote it to him." There must be no mistakes. ”

"Yes!" The messenger went out of the tent.

Ling Yan was thinking about the next step in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face......

On the night of the station, Ling Yan's army sent a large number of scouts and patrols to strictly prevent the enemy from coming to rob the village, but the first night was always safe, and no enemy troops came to rob the village again.

The next morning, the messenger who had been sent to deliver the letter finally returned. He came to Ling Yan's tent and said, "General Yan, the enemy general Li Damu has a secret letter. With that, he took out the secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Ling Yan.

Ling Yan sent the messenger away, and when he opened the letter, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

"Someone! Please come to my tent with General Yu Gengen. Ling Yan ordered outside the tent.

After a while, Duke Lu escorted Yu Gengen to Ling Yan's tent.

Ling Yan asked Duke Lu to untie Yu Geng, and then smiled at Yu Gen: "General Yu, have you figured it out?" Do you want to surrender or not? ”

Yu Yigen was still as arrogant as ever: "Hmph! I'd rather die than surrender! Don't say more! If you want to kill, kill it! He was so angry that the beard on his chin shook a few times.

Ling Yan smiled, and first put on a "high hat" for Yu Yigen: "I will never kill General Yu, not to mention anything else, at least I am reluctant to give up the general's mighty beard...... In my opinion, the general can really be called a 'beautiful sideburns'! ”

Of course, Yu Yigen didn't know that the "beautiful sideburns" was actually Guan Yu, and when he heard Ling Yan's praise, Yu Yigen couldn't help but be arrogant: "Hmph! It's natural! Why is it called that? ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "Yes! Be! I like the general's sideburns and beard very much, so naturally I am reluctant to kill the general! Hehe...... But the main reason is that I admire the general's ambition to not do two things. ”

Yu Yigen didn't believe Ling Yan's words a little: "I will definitely not surrender you, so since you don't kill me, but you don't let me go, what do you want to do!" "Cat flutter Chinese
