Chapter 40: Calculating Ji Ling
"Report to the general, the enemy general Yuan Yin is calling for battle under the city!"
Early the next morning, Zhao Feng and the others were preparing to withstand a new wave of attacks, but they didn't want the sentinel at the head of the city to bring such news.
"Yuan Yin?" Zhao Feng was not too familiar with this person, so he turned his head to look at Zhang Liao and them. "This Yuan Yin is Yuan Shu's younger brother, and he only increased his troops to attack Guangling a few days ago......" Zhang Liao briefly introduced his origin.
"And how is his martial arts?" Zhao Feng asked. In fact, he already has a little bottom in his heart, since he is a person who has not been mentioned in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it shouldn't be very good.
Sure enough, Zhang Liao smiled: "This person's martial arts are poor, and he is not as good as Ji Ling." Any of us here can easily defeat him. ”
"In that case, the generals will take a break, and I will solve this problem." Wu Dun volunteered at the moment. "Wait, General Zhang, what is the relationship between Yuan Yin and Ji Ling?" Zhao Feng asked suddenly. Ever since Zhang Liao talked about the origin of this guy, Zhao Feng's mind has been spinning rapidly.
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The relationship between the two is said to be very stiff, although this Ji Ling is the number one general under Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu is nepotistic, but he is more powerful from his younger brother Yuan Yin." ”
"Since that's the case, there is a door, Guan Ping, I ordered you to fight Yuan Yin, but you are not allowed to win!" Zhao Feng thought about his plan for a while, and felt that there was no problem, so he ordered Guan Ping to take the lead first.
"Huh?" Guan Ping was very excited at first when he heard Zhao Feng call him to fight, but he was stunned when he heard the last sentence. "General, why is that?" Before Guan Ping could speak, Wu Dun, who was in a hurry, had already opened his mouth to ask.
"Hehe, the secret of heaven must not be revealed. Generals, not only Guan Ping, we will all lose a few times in the hands of this Yuan Yin, I have my own clever plan. Zhao Feng pretended to be mysterious, leaving Zhang Liao and the others to look at each other.
Although Guan Ping was unwilling, the military order was difficult to disobey, and he received the order in a muffled voice at the moment, and went down to the city to get on the horse to fight Yuan Yin. "Who is coming? Ben will not kill the unknown! Yuan Yin saw that it was a young general, and he knew that it was not Zhang Liao, so he hurriedly called for battle.
"Guan Ping, the eldest son of Yuzhou Mu Guan Yu, Yuan Yin's rebel thief will be killed!" After Guan Ping finished speaking, he slapped the horse and danced the knife and stepped forward to cut it, Yuan Yin was furious and raised his gun to meet him. The two mounts intersected with each other, and Guan Ping only used four or five points of strength in order to defeat him, but this time it was evenly divided.
Although Yuan Yin was provoked to boast yesterday that he wanted to defeat Zhang Liao in Haikou, he still had a good idea of his strength after all, and knew that since even Ji Ling couldn't beat Zhang Liao, he would lose a lot if he went up. But now that the words have been spoken, I can only hope that it will be a certain unknown junior who will fight at that time, and I can just deal with it casually and fool around.
Now that Guan Ping is fighting, Yuan Yin really deserves it. Of course, he didn't know that Guan Ping was limited by military orders and didn't dare to play to his heart's content, and at the moment, the two of them were fighting with one move and one style. After about thirty rounds, Guan Ping saw a loophole, deliberately let Yuan Yin use the barrel of the gun to pump on his left arm, and then turned the horse's head and ran away, shouting while running: "Withdraw quickly, retreat quickly, the enemy general's martial arts are powerful, I am not his opponent!" ”
"Hahahaha!" Yuan Yin's horse was not as fast as Guan Ping, and it was too late for him to chase after him, so he just stood on the spot and laughed wildly, and the sergeant behind him was even more proud and shouting.
"General, the last general will return defeated!" Guan Ping said to Zhao Feng at the head of the city. "Very good, we won't go to war today, and we're ready to defend the city!" Zhao Feng calmed down a little, and then ordered not to fight. Yuan Yin showed off his might under the city for a while, and when he saw that the other party would not fight again, he immediately waved his army to attack the city. The Xuzhou army was still raining arrows, and the ballista company was powerful again and again, and it resumed the previous routine of offensive and defensive warfare.
Not to mention Yuan Yin's smugness, Zhang Liao and the others were confused, and at this time, in Yuan Shu's army, Ji Ling and Qiao Mao were also quite surprised. They knew that Yuan Yin's martial arts were bad, but they didn't expect to win today's battle, it was really unbelievable, and the two of them couldn't figure it out after a long time.
"Congratulations to General Yuan for his victory in the battle today!" Although the ambitions are different, but Yuan Yin won the battle, Ji Ling and Qiao Mao still need to do a superficial article to congratulate them, and the two came to Yuan Yin's camp to congratulate them that night, but saw that Yuan Yin was ordering the writing of the chapter to ask Yuan Shu of Huainan for credit.
"Hehe, today's opponent is just an unknown young general, wait for Ming to say that I defeated Zhang Liao and Zhao Feng, and then break through Guangling and take Xuzhou!" Yuan Yin was also full of ambition, Ji Ling and Qiao Mao saw it, and they both felt that the things in front of them were too weird, but they couldn't say anything wrong.
The next day, Yuan Yin, who saw that he was not accepting, continued to call for battle. "General Wu, if you go out to fight today, you are still allowed to lose but not win!" Zhao Feng continued to order.
"The last general obeys!" Wu Dun also fought with Yuan Yin for dozens of rounds in the city, and finally pretended to be exhausted and was stabbed in the right arm by the opponent with a shot, and returned defeated.
"Hahahaha!" Seeing that he had defeated another person, Yuan Yin felt that his martial arts were difficult to meet his opponent. Seeing that the Xuzhou army was closed again, he immediately ordered the army to fight again, and on this day, except for the people who fought from Guan Ping to Wu Dun, the rest were almost the same as yesterday. In the evening, Yuan Yin once again ordered the writing of the army to write a chapter to Yuan Shu.
On the third day, Zang Ba went out to fight, but he was still defeated;
On the fourth day, he was replaced by Zhang Liao and continued to lose;
On the fifth day, Zhao Feng personally went out and was still defeated;
"Hahahaha!" Seeing that Zhao Feng was actually smashed by his own shot and fled, Yuan Yin almost didn't laugh. Naturally, he didn't know that in the middle of the handle of Zhao Feng's gun, he sawed it with a saw last night, and only a little bit was still connected, but it was his own infinite strength that broke the opponent's weapon.
Huainan is not far from Guangling, and every time Yuan Yin wins a battle these days, he writes a chapter that night and immediately reports it to Yuan Shu in Shouchun City. "Haha, Liu Bei has lost several battles in a row, and he is really exhausted." Yuan Shu, the freshly baked Emperor of the Zhong family, looked at the stack of good news in his hand, and he also smiled from ear to ear. Unlike in history, when he was encircled and suppressed by the three-way army as soon as he became emperor, Yuan Shu has not yet been attacked by any initiative, of course, this is because Cao Ying and Liu Bei have not yet eased up.
But Yuan Shu didn't think so, he thought that his soldiers were good enough to eat, and the princes would not dare to attack. In his opinion, as long as Liu Bei is killed, the remaining princes from all walks of life will be invincible and come to surrender one after another. At the same time, Liu Bei in Xuzhou City was shocked when he learned that Zhao Feng and others had lost five games in a row, and hurriedly convened everyone to discuss the matter. For a while, there were different opinions, and they all said that they would send people to support Zhao Feng again, but Lu Su was against it.
"Don't worry, my lord, I expect this to be General Zhao's plan!" Lu Su said with a smile.
"Where can Zijing see it?" Liu Bei was also a little surprised.
"General Zhao is resourceful, and Su Yi sighs to himself. This Yuan Yin is an unknown person, how can he defeat my Xuzhou generals in a row? After a pause, Lu Su said again: "Besides, although General Zhao has lost for many days, he has never sent people to ask for help, presumably he has his own opinions!" Su boldly predicted that General Zhao would break the enemy in the near future! ”
Liu Bei was skeptical when he heard this, and the rest of the people didn't believe it, Liu Bei thought about it for a long time, and let Song Xian and Wei Xu lead 10,000 horses to support Guangling just in case.
On the sixth day, in the city of Guangling. "General, Yuan Yin is calling for battle under the city again!" This morning, the little school in the city still reported the same news. "I know, it seems that Yuan Yin has taken the bait, and he has no one in his eyes these days." Zhao Feng touched the short beard that had just grown out of his chin, and then ordered: "Guan Ping, it is said that you will fight recently, you must capture Yuan Yin alive, remember, you want to live, not die, understand?" ”
"The last general commands!" Guan Pingxing rushed to clench his fists and said, and quickly put on his clothes and stopped to go out of the city to face the battle. "You kid is here to die again, go change someone who is more powerful!" Yuan Yin saw that it was Guan Ping again, and he was suddenly a little excited.
"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, let's die!" Guan Ping was also aggrieved and panicked, and immediately drove forward to fight again. As soon as he fought, Yuan Yin was taken aback, this Guan Ping knife was several points faster and heavier than the previous fight, and he couldn't fight for seven or eight rounds, and he was almost cut by him. I panicked in my heart, and I lost a few percent of the kung fu in my hand, and after holding on for another five or six rounds, Guan Ping knocked the horse off the horse with the back of the knife, and after landing, there was a blockage in my throat, and it was actually spurting blood.
"Tie up!" Guan Ping's big knife rested on Yuan Yin's neck, and several personal soldiers stepped forward with thick hemp rope in their hands to tie Yuan Yin tightly, and then dragged him back to the city. By the time Ji Ling and Qiao Mao, who had swept the formation, came back to their senses, it was already too late.
"What's going on?" Ji Ling and Qiao Mao were also confused for a while, and when they reacted, the gate of Guangling City had been closed.
"Smack!" The two soldiers dragged Yuan Yin, who was tied into zongzi, to the hall of the Guangling Mansion, "General Zhao, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored!" Then came Guan Ping hugged his fist.
"Major General Guan has worked hard, and this credit is not small!" Zhao Feng first praised a few words, and then said with a silver smile to Yuan Yin, who was standing tall but his legs had begun to tremble: "Your Excellency must be Yuan Yin, the younger brother of Yuan Lao's second brother, right?" ”
"Bold, dare to be so rude to my Zhong Emperor! If you and other rebellious ministers and thieves don't surrender early, when my Huainan army arrives, we will definitely destroy you and the other nine clans! Yuan Yin's words sounded righteous and strict, but with his trembling appearance, no matter how you look at it, it gives people the feeling of being strong and inward.
These words immediately annoyed Zang Ba on the side, "You dog thief followed Yuan Shu's rebel thief to make trouble, that is, a rebel thief." General Zhao, keeping this kind of goods is a waste of food, it is better to kill it! ”
"Huh?" Zhao Feng touched his short beard noncommittally, he suddenly found that he liked to touch his beard more and more, and looked at Yuan Yin with a smile.
"Don't don't, don't kill me!" Yuan Yin, who was still a little unyielding on the verge of death, suddenly collapsed to the ground in fright when he saw this posture. "I don't want to do anything to you for the time being, come on, escort this guy to the city, and tell Ji Ling that if he dares to attack the city again, he will chop off Yuan Yin's head!" After Zhao Feng gave this order, he sent fifty cavalrymen and scattered far away, paying attention to robbing and killing the messengers sent by Ji Ling's army to Huainan.
At this time, Zhang Liao and the others felt that they understood: Zhao Feng wanted to use Yuan Yin as a hostage and prevent Ji Ling from attacking the city to reduce casualties. It's just that what they can't figure out is: Why didn't Zhao Feng capture Yuan Yin earlier?
