Chapter 280: Capture the Empty City
Since there are torches on the top of the city, you can see it clearly. Before Ling Yan arrived at www.biquge.info the city, he saw four Yellow Turban soldiers standing at the head of the city, and one of the Yellow Turban soldiers leaned forward, as if he saw Ling Yan and the others, and then he suddenly withdrew from the city.
Ling Yan was about to continue walking, but You Heng grabbed Ling Yan: "Brother Xian, this city gate is wide open, is there any fraud?" It is not yet known whether Colonel Zuo will truly surrender, and if we pass like this, we may be in danger. β
"Uh...... It shouldn't be......" Ling Yan looked at You Heng, and then at Juye City, and was a little unsure. Originally, he was sure that Colonel Zuo had really surrendered, but after listening to You Heng's words, and seeing the open door in front of him at first glance, he suddenly thought of Zhuge Liang's "empty city plan" in the story of the Three Kingdoms, and his heart was cold, and he was suddenly not sure of the sincerity of Colonel Zuo's surrender.
Wen Ping frowned and looked at Juye City, which was close at hand, and took the initiative to ask Ling Yan: "General Yan, it's better for the last general to rush into the city first to find out the truth." If it is safe, then General Yan and the generals will come in again; If there is really a deception, the last general will be able to resist it. β
Lu Gong also took the initiative to ask to go to the city with Wen Ping.
Ling Yan looked at Juye City, which seemed to be completely defenseless, and thought about it carefully before he waved his hand to You Heng and the others: "I think we should go in together!" If Colonel Zuo really surrenders, if we do it again, I am afraid that it will arouse his disgust and unnecessary misunderstanding...... If he really sets a trap, we just need to be more careful and adapt to the situation. β
You Heng and the others thought about it for a while, then they reluctantly nodded and agreed to Ling Yan's proposal.
Ling Yan added: "Just in case, it's better for everyone to keep a little distance, and be ready to fight at any time." β
"Yes!" Several of them answered nervously.
Ling Yan looked back again: "Liu Hui, you wait here first, don't go over, and when it's safe, we'll call you again." β
Liu Hui and the four soldiers all nodded nervously.
Ling Yan gestured to You Heng and the others, and then the five of them rode their horses towards the city gate.
When Ling Yan and the five of them came to the city gate, they saw two Yellow Turban soldiers standing inside the city gate with torches, illuminating the city gate.
Ling Yan was about to enter the city gate and ask where the Yellow Turban soldier Colonel Zuo was, but at this moment, he saw Colonel Zuo walking out of the city on foot.
Colonel Zuo walked very fast, and he came in great strides, so he soon came to Ling Yan's face.
At this time, Ling Yan was completely relieved, he didn't think that Colonel Zuo came to him alone without riding a horse, and there would be any conspiracy.
Colonel Zuo stood in front of Ling Yan, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "The last general, Colonel Zuo, may General Yan descend!" β
Ling Yan heard Colonel Zuo's words of surrender, and said it very reluctantly. He smiled and said to Colonel Zuo: "General Zuo understands the righteousness, and I admire it. β
Colonel Zuo estimated that he heard Ling Yan's words to give him face, so he smiled a little bitterly: "General Yan said that he was laughing...... I also hope that the general will ignore his past suspicions. β
"How can it!" Ling Yan dismounted with a smile, "At that time, we were enemies, and it was natural for us to fight, how could I account for this!" β
Colonel Zuo clenched his fists again: "Thank you, General Yan!" β
Ling Yan suddenly had a rather refreshing pleasure at this moment-he was already half a head taller than Colonel Zuo, and now Colonel Zuo was clasping his fists at him, which gave him a sense of superiority of conquest.
"You're welcome!" Ling Yan was so happy that his arm actually put his arm on Colonel Zuo's shoulder, "General Zuo, why don't we go to Fuzhong first." β
Colonel Zuo's face became very strange, maybe he wasn't used to Ling Yan being so "casual", or maybe he felt insulted.
But after all, he was already a general, and Colonel Zuo didn't express any dissatisfaction, but still smiled at Ling Yan: "General Yan, let's wait until all the general's soldiers and horses are gathered, and then go in." β
Ling Yan had a trace of doubt and displeasure, and took his arm off Colonel Zuo's shoulder: "General Zuo, why did you wait until all the soldiers and horses had arrived before letting me in?" β
Wen Ping, who was behind Ling Yan, pointed at Colonel Zuo and said angrily: "You thief general! What kind of tricks are you playing! β
Colonel Zuo was scolded by Wen Ping like this, and anger instantly appeared on his face, but then this anger disappeared, and he ignored Wen Ping, but said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, it's definitely not the last general to play tricks, I think, but the general can't trust me, right?" β
Ling Yan was confused when asked: "General Zuo, what do you mean by that?" β
Colonel Zuo glanced at the outside of the city behind Ling Yan, then looked at Ling Yan again, and said with a smile: "General Yan's soldiers and horses, if the last general is not mistaken, it should be ambushed not far away, right?" β
A smile appeared on the corner of Ling Yan's mouth.
Colonel Zuo smiled and said, "General Yan, the last general sincerely surrendered, and the general doesn't have to be suspicious anymore, so let's order to invite the soldiers who are in ambush to go into the city to rest!" β
Ling Yan's smile was even stronger, and when Colonel Zuo finished speaking, he smiled unhurriedly: "General Zuo, since I fought with you, I can't count you every time, and I have suffered so many losses. But apart from the last two of us, I think this is the third time you've miscalculated. β
Colonel Zuo was stunned suddenlyβwith his IQ, he would naturally be able to understand the meaning of Ling Yan's words immediately. But after he was stunned for a moment, a look of disbelief appeared on his face, and he glanced at the field outside the city behind Ling Yan a few times, and then looked at Ling Yan with some surprise: "General Yan, could it be...... Are you really coming alone? β
Ling Yanle said: "Of course not!" Don't they protect me? After speaking, he pointed to Kuai Liang and the others.
Colonel Zuo looked at the four behind Ling Yan, with a slight disdainful expression on his face, and with great doubts, he asked Ling Yan: "It's the five of you, come alone?" β
Ling Yan saw the contemptuous look in Colonel Zuo's eyes, and he somewhat agreed with Colonel Zuo's concept - if other factors were not counted, the four people such as Wen Ping alone were not Colonel Zuo's opponents at all, even if he added himself, he might not be able to defeat Colonel Zuo.
However, Ling Yan didn't worry much about this now, because Colonel Zuo's Yellow Turban soldiers were all in his hands, and it was enough to use this alone to blackmail Colonel Zuo.
Therefore, Ling Yan smiled very easily: "Yes! After reading General Zuo's letter, I couldn't wait to come to Juye City, so I came first, my soldiers and horses are all behind, and I guess they should be on the road now. β
Colonel Zuo frowned slightly, then leaned over and hugged his fists and said: "General Yan is brave and brave, and his courage is extraordinary, Colonel Zuo admires!" β
"Haha!" Ling Yan laughed a few times, "I'm not very bold, but I don't think General Zuo is the kind of despicable villain who surrenders by fraud, I believe that General Zuo surrendered sincerely, so why bother?" β
Colonel Zuo's face changed slightly, and he clenched his fists again: "Thank you, General Yan!" These five words, Zuo Xiao said word by word, sonorous and powerful.
Ling Yan understood that Colonel Zuo must be very unhappy in his heart, but he didn't care about these now, and said with a smile: "General Zuo, then now, I can enter the city, right?" β
Colonel Zuo looked a little heartbroken: "Of course...... This city is already General Yan's. β
Ling Yan smiled with satisfaction, turned back to Lu Gong and said, "General Lu, go and call them over!" β
Lu Gong agreed, turned around and rode away.
The expression on Colonel Zuo's face was a little strange: "General Yan, who else is there?" Don't...... Could it be me...... Soldiers under your command? β
Ling Yan said with a smile: "No, it's my two generals who were injured, so let them wait there first to listen to the news, so as not to have an accident, I still have to take care of them...... Right? β
Colonel Zuo's smile was very reluctant: "It seems that General Yan has not fully trusted the last general. β
Without waiting for Ling Yan to speak, Wen Ping behind him said angrily to Colonel Zuo: "Hmph! You are so cunning, how can you be trusted! β
Colonel Zuo's smile gradually faded, and he looked at Wen Ping Zhengse and said, "Why did the general say this?" You and I were enemies that day, and I naturally tried to defeat you by all means, this is a ploy! Then, according to the general's will, do you want me to sit in the city and be captured? β
was choked by Colonel Zuo for a few words, and Wen Ping didn't know how to choke back for a while, so he only snorted heavily.
Ling Yan smiled and played a round game: "General Zuo, don't be surprised, General Wen is straightforward, he doesn't mean that, don't get me wrong, hehe......"
"Hmm......" Colonel Zuo snorted with his nose, which was regarded as giving Ling Yan face, and then looked at Lu Gong who was far away: "General Yan, why don't we enter the mansion first, and when the injured generals come, my soldiers will take them to rest." β
Ling Yan smiled: "Let's wait for them for a while, I want them to go with us." β
Colonel Zuo asked, "Why is that?" β
Ling Yan smiled: "Actually...... I want the general to do me a big favor, I don't know if the general wants to. β
Colonel Zuo said: "Since the last general has already demoted the general, the general's order, the last general dares to disobey?" β
Ling Yan smiled and said: "I really have to discuss this matter with the general, although the general has surrendered to me, but I never want to force others, nor will I use military orders to force my subordinates to do anything, if General Zuo is unwilling to help me in this matter, then I will not threaten the general with 'disobeying military orders'...... It's just that only General Zuo can help me in this matter, if you don't agree, then I really don't know what to do. β
Although Colonel Zuo was resourceful, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't guess what Ling Yan wanted him to do, so he asked, "This matter is so serious?" I don't know what the general wants the general to do? β
Ling Yan said: "I want to use General Zuo to save someone's life." β
Colonel Zuo said with a smile: "General Yan, the last general does not know how to heal the sick, it seems that the general is looking for the wrong person." β
Ling Yan said with a smile: "It's not that the general will treat anyone, I have people who treat the disease, but I just want to use General Zuo's ...... One thing. β
"What?" Colonel Zuo's brows furrowed slightly.
At this time, in the dark night, I vaguely saw the figures of several people - Lu Gong led Liu Hui and others from a distance.
Ling Yan glanced out of the city: "General Zuo, I'll tell you more about this matter later...... When they come, General Zuo should take us to the mansion first. β
Colonel Zuo also looked at Lu Gong, as if he wanted to identify someone: "General Yan, who is injured?" What can make General Yan pay so much attention must not be mediocre. β
Ling Yan smiled: "General Zuo, I may be different from you, I value anyone very much." β
Colonel Zuo's face changed, and he looked very embarrassed.
Ling Yan didn't want the atmosphere to stiffen, after all, he asked Colonel Zuo for help for a while, so he changed the topic again: "General Zuo, there are two injured generals, one of them, General Zuo is also familiar with each other. β
Zuo Xiao was stunned: "I'm also familiar with each other?" Who is that? β
Ling Yan smiled slightly: "It's General Yu...... General Yu Gengen. β
"Yu Gengen?" Colonel Zuo was taken aback, "He's still alive?" β
Ling Yan nodded and said with a smile: "General Zuo, it's very unexpected to you, right?" Actually, I didn't expect it either...... However, General Yu is still seriously injured, and it is difficult to say whether he can be saved. β
Colonel Zuo frowned and muttered, "This...... How is this possible...... Falling from the top of the city, you can still ...... Alive? β
Ling Yan smiled: "Hmm...... I can't imagine it. However, the general fell down from the city that day, and didn't he die at that time, isn't that a miracle, right? β
"This ......" Colonel Zuo's face was embarrassed again, "He didn't die that day, although I was a little surprised, but I also thought that he wouldn't live long...... Falling from the city, all the internal organs were shattered, and if he didn't die immediately for a while, it was already a great luck, how to ...... How did you get back to where you are now? β
Ling Yan pointed at Zuo Ci and said with a smile: "This is still thanks to the national teacher. β
"National teacher?" Zuo Colonel was stunned for a moment and looked at Zuo Ci, "This is ...... Who? β
Ling Yan introduced: "He is the national teacher of Langya and is proficient in medical skills. β
Zuo Ci immediately answered: "A certain one is slightly fur, General Yan has won the award, and General Hua is really proficient in medical skills." β
Ling Yan smiled.
Colonel Zuo took a few steps forward, came to Zuo Ci, hugged his fists and said, "The national teacher is Zuo Ci?" β
Zuo Ci was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "What the general said is right, it's not Zuo Ci." β
Ling Yan was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked Colonel Zuo, "What's the matter, General Zuo knows the national teacher?" β
Zuo replied: "The prestige of the national teacher is like thunder, although the school is lonely and unheard, I have also heard of it. However, I have only heard of it before, but I have never seen it, and I am fortunate to see it today, which is comforting for my life. β
Zuo Ci hurriedly replied: "General Zuo has a good reputation, and General Zuo is also famous." β
Ling Yan suddenly became happy: "Ah! The national teacher and General Zuo have the same surname, one is rejuvenated, the other is brave and strategic, I got two, what are I afraid of in the future! Ha ...... "In his excitement, he actually learned the tone of the ancients.
Colonel Zuo smiled a little embarrassedly, which was regarded as "a good match", and then said to Ling Yan: "General Yan, if Yu Yigen can live until now, it must be the power of the national teacher, right?" When I first saw the national teacher today, I felt that it was different, and my medical skills must be excellent. β
Ling Yan smiled and nodded.
Colonel Zuo said: "In this case, with the medical skills of the national teacher, wouldn't it be more than enough to save Yu Gengen's life?" β
Ling Yan said with a smile: "'It's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice'!" The national teacher is very skilled, but without rice, it is still difficult to cook. β
Colonel Zuo was a smart person, and he heard the meaning of Ling Yan's words: "General Na Yan...... It's trying to make me ......."
At this time, Lu Gong, Liu Hui and others came to Ling Yan.
Ling Yan said to Colonel Zuo: "General Zuo, let's go to the mansion first, and then talk about things." β
Colonel Zuo glanced at Liu Hui and the others: "Okay...... The general will go with me. β
Wen Ping then shouted: "Hmph! If you thief dare to design against General Yan, beware of the spear in my hand that will kill you! β
Ling Yan saw that Colonel Zuo's face was pale, and hurriedly played a round: "General Wen is serious, how can General Zuo do that!" After speaking, he desperately glanced at Wen Ping, signaling Wen Ping to stop talking about it.
Ling Yan knew that Wen Ping had been defeated by Colonel Zuo many times, and he suppressed quite a lot of anger in his heart, so he took advantage of this time to ask for some face. Ling Yan understood this, but he saw that Colonel Zuo's face was getting more and more ugly, and he knew that he couldn't stimulate him anymore, anyone's patience was limited, if he really angered Colonel Zuo and got into a big fight, "There must be an injury when the two tigers fight", in this hard-won good situation, whether Colonel Zuo or others are injured again, it is not what Ling Yan wants to see - the serious injuries of Zhang Min and Yu Yigen have already made his heart very uncomfortable.
When Colonel Zuo saw Ling Yan say this, he smiled: "It doesn't matter if General Wen doesn't believe me, you can know the true meaning of the school in the future." β
Ling Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Colonel Zuo to take them to Colonel Zuo's residence.
Colonel Zuo really deserves to be a military general, his physical strength is much better than that of ordinary people, and he walks with a tigerish style. Originally, Ling Yan was kind enough to let him ride a horse, but he refused without saying a word. More than twenty minutes later, when he came to the General's Mansion, Ling Yan began to gasp. Don't look at Colonel Zuo's height, but he walks too fast, if Ling Yan doesn't go quickly, he won't be able to keep up - Originally, Ling Yan could ride a horse, but in order to move Colonel Zuo, he accompanied Colonel Zuo on foot.
Colonel Zuo looked at Ling Yan and said with a smile: "General Yan, this is the General's Mansion." β
Ling Yan gasped and nodded: "Hmm...... Get in...... bar. β
Colonel Zuo smiled and led Ling Yan and the others into the mansion.
The General's Mansion in Juye City, although it is not particularly magnificent, but Ling Yan, who has spent the night in the field for several days, feels like he has come to heaven when he comes here. He said to Colonel Zuo: "General Zuo, please send someone to take General Yu and them to the room to recuperate." β
Colonel Zuo nodded, called a servant to lead the way, and Ling Yan's four soldiers supported Zhang Min and Yu Yigen and walked away. Zuo Colonel asked Liu Hui to prepare some meals, and Liu Hui agreed and left.
After that, Colonel Zuo took Ling Yan and the others to a spacious room. If you look at the furnishings of the room, you can see at a glance that it is a place to receive guests.
Colonel Zuo walked to the main seat and made a "please" gesture towards Ling Yan: "General Yan, please sit here." β
