Except for the few soldiers left behind in Qianzhai, the rest of the people followed Ling Yan back to Zhongzhai. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as they arrived in Zhongzhai, Ling Yan and the others saw that the village was also being cleaned up, so Ling Yan hurriedly asked a soldier who was cleaning up: "Where is General Kuai?" ”

The soldier replied, "General Kuai is in the tent." ”

"Oh!" Ling Yan was very happy, and finally relieved, so he asked Wen Ping and the others to arrange the patrol first, and he led Lu Gong straight to Kuailiang's tent.

"General Kuai!" Seeing that Kuai Liang was talking to a soldier in the tent, Ling Yan happily walked in.

Seeing Ling Yan coming, Kuai Liang got up in surprise and joy to greet him: "General Yan is back!" The result? ”

Ling Yan laughed: "Not bad! It's a big win! But let Colonel Zuo escape! ”

Kuai Liang also smiled and said: "The general defeated the thief army and severely damaged the morale of the enemy, this is the key thing, as for the left colonel, it is just one person, so there is no need to worry!" ”

Ling Yan also heard that Kuai Liang's words were half comforting and half reasonable, but Ling Yan was satisfied with his performance this time, so he no longer blamed himself: "Hmm! We killed more than 4,000 enemy soldiers! ”

Kuai Liang laughed happily: "If that's the case, Juye City is just around the corner!" ”

Lu Gong was still a little depressed, but he was infected by the atmosphere of the conversation between Kuai Liang and Ling Yan, and he didn't feel excited. However, I don't know if Lu Gong understood Kuai Liang's words, maybe he just thought that Kuai Liang was just encouraging Ling Yan's confidence; But Ling Yan fully understood the meaning of what Kuai Liang said - Colonel Zuo's living forces, except for those "descendant troops", the rest were basically wiped out.

While Ling Yan was happy, he didn't forget to ask, "General Kuai, where is the national teacher?" He...... You okay? ”

Kuai Liang said with a smile: "The national teacher is unscathed and is treating the wounded soldiers in the village...... General Yu and General Zhang are also safe. ”

At this time, Ling Yan was completely relieved, he thought of Houzhai again, and said to himself: "I don't know what happened to Houzhai......

Kuai Liang smiled and pointed to the soldier who was talking to him before: "General Yan, General Deng sent him to inform me of the situation in the back village, it is better to ask the general to ask him directly." ”

Ling Yan was very happy, and hurriedly asked the soldier, "How is the back village?" ”

The soldier replied: "General Deng has killed the enemy and our army has suffered very few losses. ”

The big stone in Ling Yan's heart had not completely fallen to the ground until this moment.

"General Yan, tonight's victory is very important to strengthen my morale! If you don't have a banquet for the generals tomorrow, you can boost your morale even more. Kuai Liang saw that Ling Yan was in a good mood, so he proposed.

"Good!" Ling Yan happily agreed, "Just do what General Kuai said!" After speaking, he ordered Lu Gong to go down and prepare.

Ling Yan sat down. The mental tension and physical exertion of the past few days disappeared at this moment, and the spirit relaxed all of a sudden, and those lazy nerves began to be active-Ling Yan suddenly wanted to stretch his waist for a long time.

As soon as he stretched his arms upward, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his arm, and Ling Yan immediately withdrew his arm and covered the wound with his hand.

"General Yan...... You're hurt? Kuai Liang frowned slightly, "Do you want to invite the national teacher to come over......?"

"It's okay, it's okay," Ling Yan shook his arm lightly, "A little injury, you don't need to find a national teacher." ”

Kuai Liang asked cautiously, "This wound on the general's body...... But what will the thief do? ”

"Hehe," Ling Yan smiled, "General Kuai guessed as soon as he guessed, it was the Colonel Zuo who made it." ”

"Ahh Kuai Liang suddenly became a little nervous, "Are there any other injuries on the general?" Otherwise, please ask the national teacher to take a look at the general's injury! ”

"Ha," Ling Yan laughed, "General Kuai, don't worry, I didn't suffer any loss this time, but it was Colonel Zuo, but I suffered a big loss!" ”

"Oh?" Kuai Liang was a little surprised, "How did the general make that thief suffer?" ”

So, Ling Yan talked about the process of killing Colonel Zuo's "descendant soldiers".

After hearing this, Kuai Liang was overjoyed and said: "The general is really wise and brave!" After this battle, I am afraid that the thief general of the left colonel will have no power to return to heaven! ”

When Ling Yan heard Kuai Liang's words, he was secretly happy in his heart, but then he became worried again: "General Kuai...... You said that Colonel Zuo, really...... Is the defeat a foregone conclusion? ”

Kuai Liang saw Ling Yan's worried expression, thought for a while, and said, "Although that thief is strategic, he is narrow-minded and arrogant, and after this battle, he has suffered heavy setbacks, and he should be unable to defend the city. ”

Ling Yan smiled bitterly and said his heart: "General Kuai, tell the truth...... I do have a little bit of fear of that left colonel...... Although we won this time, we can also see how powerful Colonel Zuo's strategy is...... Although we killed many of his soldiers, Juye Castle was guarded by him, as well as those powerful Yellow Turban soldiers, and there were 'Flame Stones' in the city...... Whether I can break through the city gate or not, even now, I still don't know ......"

Kuai Liang smiled and said: "The general doesn't have to be like this, the thief will suffer a defeat, and the morale of the army will be hit, as long as our army has a good plan, it will not be difficult to capture Juye City." ”

After Kuai Liang said this, Ling Yan's heart felt a little better, he thought of the previous big victory, and suddenly thought of a question, so he asked: "Oh, by the way, General Kuai, what is the battle situation in Zhongzhai, I hope I can explain it in detail...... The actions of the enemy troops, really as we expected? ”

Kuai Liang nodded: "General Yan, when I learned that there were enemy troops heading towards the back village, I sent a fast horse to inform General Deng, and at the same time strengthened the guard of the middle village, and sent a team of ambush soldiers nearby, just worried that there would also be enemy troops to attack the middle village." ”

"Hmm," Ling Yan smiled, "General Kuai did a good job. ”

Kuai Liang made a gesture: "It's still General Yan's accurate calculation...... The number of enemy troops who came to attack Zhongzhai was not large, and the leading thief general was a scheming junior, but he suddenly launched an attack on the village, and I and the ambush soldiers attacked at the same time, and then repelled the enemy army, so there was no loss. ”

"Hmm......" Ling Yan groaned, "I think, this is because there are no available people in Juye City, so Colonel Zuo has no choice but to send the last man to make a feint." ”

Kuai Liang also nodded, and continued with a smile: "Colonel Zuo, this thief, cares about people's lives, has no pity for his generals, and kills Li Damu and other generals, no wonder no one is available, even if there are people, I am afraid that no one is willing to serve him...... This can be regarded as a great help to the general. ”

Ling Yan laughed: "Yes! He really helped me! If it weren't for Colonel Zuo's character, I wouldn't have won so smoothly, haha......"

Kuai Liang said: "General, this opportunity is rare, I hope that the general will come up with a strategy to break the city as soon as possible, and take advantage of this opportunity to capture Juye City in one fell swoop, and it will change later...... Although Colonel Zuo is arrogant, if it is a critical moment, there is no guarantee that he will not ask for help from others. If any more reinforcements come, I'm afraid ......"

"Well," Ling Yan nodded, "I know, I will find a way to capture Juye's ...... as soon as possible" After speaking, Ling Yan's expression turned a little sad.

Kuai Liang saw the difference: "General Yan, what's wrong?" ”

Ling Yan sighed: "Alas! Even if Juye Castle is captured, it will be difficult to make Colonel Zuo surrender...... I'm going to attack the city first, and I'm going to ...... second. Second, I am also worried about General Yu's safety, if I can't think of a way, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive......"

Kuai Liang was silent, just looking at Ling Yan.

Ling Yan sighed: "Although the national teacher said that observing the heavens and phenomena has a way to take the general's life, but now it seems that the only way to save his name is to let Colonel Zuo take the initiative to show his internal qi, but how difficult is this!" ”

Kuai Liang also said: "Yes...... According to the character of this thief general, it may not be easy to think about the general. ”

Ling Yan shook his head sadly.

After chatting a few more words, Ling Yan took his leave and returned to his own tent, on the way, he only saw the soldiers eating around the stove, and some of them went straight to sleep without taking care of eating-they were too tired these days, and it was time for them to have a good rest.

Although Ling Yan won the battle, because there were still several difficult problems in his heart that had not been solved, and he had no appetite to eat, he returned to the tent and lay down on the bed.

At this time, it was already the second half of the night, and although there were still the voices of soldiers outside the tent, Ling Yan turned a deaf ear at all, and he didn't have the heart to sleep, but recalled in detail the battle process last night in his mind.

"Ahh Although he won the battle this time and made Colonel Zuo suffer a big loss, Ling Yan couldn't be happy at this time, first, he thought that Yu Gengen's injury had no way to be treated, and second, he felt that Colonel Zuo was really not ordinary.

"Colonel Zuo's plan is really so strong?" Ling Yan thought in his heart, "I read the story of the Three Kingdoms, that Zuo Colonel is not a famous general, how did he come here, but he is so powerful?" However, even if people like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi can use such a strategy, it is very rare! Don't...... Zuo Colonel is a modern person who travels through the past? ”

Ling Yan thinks so, it's not unreasonable, Zuo Xiao's strategy to attack the village tonight, just from the perspective of the ancient people's minds, is incredible, Ling Yan always thinks that the ancient people are not as smart as the modern people, and they only use one link to use the trick, even if it is a good plan, but the left school has buckled several rings in a row, no wonder Ling Yan suspects that the left school is not an ancient person - but this idea is just a flash, after all, in the story of the Three Kingdoms, there is indeed such a person as Zuo Xiao, although it is not famous, but it should also be an ancient person.

Ling Yan recalled what happened last night again: judging from Colonel Zuo's strategy alone, he first sent two lines of soldiers and horses to ambush in the middle and back villages, and then sent three lines of soldiers and horses to arrive in the front village one after another. Then, Zhongzhai first carried out a feint, giving the enemy the illusion that the left school was going to rob the village, if it was a general military general who had no brains, he would definitely be in the left colonel's strategy, and ambush it with all the soldiers and horses, so that the left school would attack the front village again, and it would be successful in one fell swoop; If you encounter someone with a little scheming, you may think that Colonel Zuo is using the strategy of "striking the east and attacking the west", and you may think of setting up an ambush in the front or back village. After that, the left school sent troops to attack the front village, and the front village ambushed all the soldiers, and it also fell into the second layer of the left school's strategy: the back village will attack again. This kind of strategy is already considered a superior strategy, even if there is an ambush by the defenders in the back village, but the defender must not know what Colonel Zuo's true intentions are at this time - the three camps have been robbed, who knows which camp Colonel Zuo wants?

But the left colonel is powerful here, and in the second wave of the ensuing attack on the front village, the left colonel is still not among them, but is watching the battle from behind, and the strategy is used to this extent, which is not much among the generals, even if the defenders can think of such a high move, then the "finishing" work of the left colonel in the end is beyond imagination - the strategy is used so thoroughly, so elusive, it is absolutely rare in the world in ancient times.

Thinking of this, Ling Yan admired Colonel Zuo very much: although Colonel Zuo looked arrogant and cruel, he was so cautious when he was really fighting! It's so well planned! It seems that no matter what the enemy is, he will not be careless.

Thinking about it like this, Ling Yan couldn't help but feel a little proud and lucky: "That Zuo Colonel must think that I am not an ordinary person, so I don't dare to be careless, and I can be regarded as worthy of me with such a high strategy!" Fortunately, I was able to endure it, and I didn't hit his plan three times and twice, but I survived to the end, which didn't let Zuo Colonel succeed......"

However, Ling Yan thought again, how could Colonel Zuo suffer such a big loss this time? Who knows what tough tricks he'll come up with next time! In good conscience, most of this time it was Zuo Ci's celestial phenomena that he barely managed to cope with Colonel Zuo's attack, but what about next time? Can Zuo Ci still be counted? Even if he calculated, it was just a rough calculation, how to deploy it, and how could he do it as well as this time?

Thinking about it like this, Ling Yan felt a cold sweat again: remembering that Colonel Zuo hadn't arrived in Juye City before, he had come up with so many clever plans for Li Damu, although he was defeated last night, he could also see that his plan was really powerful! If he still delays attacking Juye City, not to mention that there is no hope for the next advance, but if he says that Colonel Zuo will come to rob the village every few days, he can't stand it!

"No! He must take advantage of his defeat now and attack the city quickly......" Ling Yan made up his mind, "Colonel Zuo surrenders or not, then let's talk about it...... Whether Yu Gengen can be rescued depends on the will of God...... Didn't the national teacher also say that he shouldn't die if he looked at the sky? Alas...... Then it's up to God! If God doesn't help me, there's nothing I can do......"

Thinking of this, Ling Yan smiled bitterly: I didn't expect that he, a person with a higher education, would have to rely on God when he came to ancient times!

But at least he came up with a rough idea, Ling Yan suddenly felt sore—after a night of ambush, it was blowing and "raining", how could it not be uncomfortable?

After taking a nap and turning over, Ling Yan quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, Ling Yan held a feast in the camp tent, and invited the generals in the three villages to come to the tent to eat and drink vigorously -- Ling Yan's camp tent was naturally not as spacious and comfortable as the mansion, and the food was naturally not as good, and after all, he was still in the situation of marching and fighting and the two armies facing each other, so naturally he could not really "drink hard", so as not to make a mistake.

But as soon as they heard that they were going to celebrate, the generals were all excited—even if the food they ate was not as good as that of "home", even if they couldn't really get drunk, it was certainly the most sumptuous meal since the crusade.

You Heng had come back early in the morning, but he hadn't come to see Ling Yan until Ling Yan's tent was almost finished.

As soon as he saw You Heng, Ling Yan immediately greeted him, his face filled with joy and concern: "Brother You, you're back!" ”

You Heng smiled, a little ashamed: "Well, when I came back in the morning, I felt sleepy for a while, so I took a nap." ”

Ling Yan smiled and said, "Brother You, eat a good meal after a while, and after eating, Brother You will go to rest." ”

You Heng nodded.

Ling Yan frowned slightly, and his expression became a little serious: "Brother You, how is it?" Did Colonel Zuo ambush soldiers and horses on the road? ”

You Heng sat down and nodded: "Brother Xian's guess is really good, when I was chasing after me, halfway through, I saw two teams of Yellow Turban thieves retreating from the mountain road. ”

Ling Yan remembered something: "These soldiers, how are they dressed?" ”

"Armor ......" You Heng said, his face a little puzzled, "Brother Xian, I don't know something, why are you sure that Colonel Zuo was ready for defeat before he robbed the village?" ”

As soon as You Heng finished the first sentence, Ling Yan's brows gradually relaxed, and when he heard You Heng's question again, he smiled: "Brother You, I'm not convinced that Zuo Colonel will set up an ambush, but with my understanding of him, I feel that with his resourcefulness, he will definitely deploy things very tightly, so just in case, he may leave himself a way back." ”

"Oh......" You Heng nodded.

"Also, I saw that there were nearly two hundred of his Yellow Turban soldiers who could vent their anger before, and this time, he only brought less than a hundred people to rob the village, in addition to the soldiers who stayed in Juye City, there should be dozens of soldiers, I guess he may have deployed them to set up an ambush." Ling Yan said with a smile.

A look of admiration appeared on You Heng's face: "Brother Xian is really resourceful, this time fortunately, Brother Xian didn't let General Wen and others cover up the killing, otherwise he would have fallen for the thief's plan again." ”

Ling Yan smiled: "We finally won once, I really don't want to risk chasing and killing again, otherwise it will be too worthwhile to win and lose." ”

"Well," You Heng nodded, "fighting bravely for the generals, many of them are cautious and cautious, which can be called both wisdom and bravery. In my opinion, the left school is still far behind the virtuous brother. ”

This sentence is very useful, and Ling Yan also praised himself this time: "Hehe...... I don't dare to say anything else, he may be far above me in resourcefulness, but when it comes to dealing with people, I have the confidence to definitely surpass him. ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Subsequently, the preparations for the banquet were completed, and Yang Feng and Deng Yi, who guarded the front and back villages, also came to the middle village.

After all the generals sat down in Ling Yan's tent, Ling Yan took the lead in raising his glass and said to everyone: "This time our army defeated the Yellow Turban Thief, everyone has a considerable credit, in order to thank everyone for their hard work and brave killing the enemy, I will do it first as a respect!" After speaking, without waiting for the others to speak, he drank a large bowl of wine in one gulp.

"General Yan is resourceful and brave, so he won the battle." After Kuai Liang finished speaking, he also dried the wine in the bowl.
