Volume 2 Battle of the Yellow Turban Chapter 335 Detailed explanation
(Cat flutter Chinese) () When Ling Yan heard Zuo Ci's words, his heart was filled with joy: "By the way, how is General Zhang's injury?" β
Zuo Ci replied: "General Zhang's injuries are no longer serious. β
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. β
Ling Yan suddenly became interested: "Okay, General Kuai told me about it." β
Kuai Liang read through the things he had recorded one by oneβthe 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. β
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. β
"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." β
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.
Liu Shi looked very happy after learning that Ling Yan had defeated Colonel Zuo and captured Juye City.
Originally, Ling Yan planned for him to invite Liu Shi's father and son to eat in the mansion, but Liu Shi let his son cook on the spot. Ling Yan felt that his kindness was difficult to shake, so he agreed to Liu Shi's proposal.
While eating, Liu Hui couldn't help but ask Ling Yan what the "Blood Poison" was. Ling Yan didn't want to deceive them, so he did his best to explain in detail, but looking at Liu Shi and Liu Hui's confused expressions, Ling Yan knew that they didn't understand a few words at all.
However, although Liu Shi and Liu Hui didn't understand well, their doubts were answered after all, so from their expressions, it could be seen that they were still very satisfied. In addition to being happy, Liu Shi "recommended" Liu Hui to Ling Yan again, wanting Liu Hui to join Ling Yan's army, and Liu Hui immediately expressed his willingness.
But Ling Yan had already thought about this matter, he felt that Liu Hui did not have much role in the army except for cooking more deliciously, and Liu Hui did not understand martial arts, nor did he have internal qi, in case of any danger, he would even have a problem with self-preservation. Therefore, after thinking only for a moment, Ling Yan rejected Liu Shi's proposal and sincerely explained the reason, and then he told Liu Shi about his plan to take them to the Great Victory City after returning from the crusade.
This meal, although the meal was not very rich, Ling Yan ate it to the fullest.
By the time Ling Yan and Kuai Liang left Liu Shi's house, it was already late at night. Liu Hui was going to follow Ling Yan back to the mansion, but Ling Yan still let him stay at home to accompany Liu Shi.
After Ling Yan returned to the General's Mansion, he fell asleep when he returned to his room......
Two days later, Ling Yan celebrated the victory in the palace and feasted the generals. Zuo Xiao was also invited, but he said that he was not in good health, so he did not participate. Ling Yan could also be considerate, so he was not reluctant.
Everyone drank this meal happily, and Ling Yan was also very drunk......
In the next few days, Ling Yan was busy with the affairs of the city and the rest of the soldiers and horses, and Kuailiang's recruitment work also made some progress, recruiting more than 1,000 soldiers from Juye City. This is not easy, because when Zuo Xiao was guarding the city, he had already let most of the strong people give their lives. These thousand people still saw that Ling Yan was very good to the people, so they came voluntarily.
Ling Yan also went to visit Zhang Min and Yu Yigen. Under Zuo Ci's treatment, Zhang Min's injuries gradually healed; Although Yu Yigen has not recovered, with the help of Zuo Xueqi, his qi is getting better day by day, and he is out of danger of life.
Ling Yan naturally took the time to go to see Colonel Zuo. In the past few days, Colonel Zuo rarely went out of the room, I don't know if it was because he had lost his internal qi and had no confidence, but his words and deeds after seeing Ling Yan were not as arrogant as before. Ling Yan saw that his face was pale and his expression was dull, and his heart was still a little moved.
However, Zuo Xiao just consumed too much internal qi, not injured, so he was just a little weak, but his sanity and actions were still as usual, every time Ling Yan went to see him, the two of them would chat for a while, Zuo Xiao did not have the previous violence and indifference, so after chatting a few times, Ling Yan felt quite pleasant.
On this day, Ling Yan was thinking about the next plan of action in his room, when a soldier came in and reported, "General Yan, General Zuo asks to see you." β
Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Please come in." β
After Colonel Zuo came in, Ling Yan hurriedly gave him a seat: "General Zuo, please take a seat, why don't you rest in the room?" β
Although Zuo Xiao's face is still a little bad, Jīng Shen is not bad, and he reluctantly smiled and said, "Rest these few rì, and the recovery is almost complete." As he spoke, he sat down opposite Ling Yan.
Ling Yan looked at Colonel Zuo's face carefully: "General Zuo, are you really fine?" If you're still not feeling well, go and rest. β
Colonel Zuo waved his hand: "It's just a loss of internal qi, it's not a big deal." I'm in the room, and I'm just trying to recover my inner energy. β
Ling Yan was taken aback: "General Zuo...... Then you've ...... Restored the internal qi in the body? β
Colonel Zuo laughed "hummed": "How can you recover after losing so much internal qi?" However, I have mobilized my internal strength and recovered a little. β
I don't know why, Ling Yan suddenly felt very sorry for Colonel Zuo: "General Zuo, thank you...... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid General Yu wouldn't have saved ......"
Colonel Zuo didn't say anything, but asked indifferently: "How is Yu Yigen now?" β
Ling Yan smiled: "General Yu has improved now, and it is estimated that he will be cured in a month or two." β
Colonel Zuo didn't show a hint of joy, but said: "General Yan, Yu Gengen doesn't even have internal qi in his body, he is not a good general at all, why does the general care so much about his life and death?" What is the use of rescuing the living? "Cat flutter Chinese
