Chapter 41: Ji Ling surrenders
"What do you want?" Ji Ling looked at Yuan Yin, who was pressed there and couldn't move, and asked, there were still two knives resting around his neck.
"We don't want to do anything, we just want to ask General Ji to retreat twenty miles. In less than ten days, I will give you an explanation. Zhao Feng said loudly at the head of the city.
"What do you mean?" Ji Ling was a little incomprehensible to Zhao Feng's words, and Qiao Mao on the side said bluntly: "Why do we believe you?" ”
"Believe it or not, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the two armies here can hear it clearly, if I, Zhao Feng, can't give you an explanation within ten days, I will never lead troops again!" As soon as Zhao Feng's words fell, Ji Ling also said loudly: "Okay, I believe you, then I will withdraw first, and see what you can say in ten days!" ”
"General Ji, why don't you take the opportunity to attack the city? If you can kill Yuan Yin with the help of the Xuzhou army, wouldn't you be happy? Just as Ji Ling was collecting his troops, Qiao Mao on the side asked in a low voice.
"Alas, Yuan Yin is the lord's younger brother, if he dies like this, we can't explain it to the lord!" Ji Ling also sighed, Qiao Mao was silent when he heard this, and the two ordered to retreat twenty miles after pulling out the village, and at the same time Ji Ling hurriedly wrote a chapter and sent it to Yuan Shu in Huainan to tell him the details.
"How?" In Guangling City at night, Zhao Feng asked the cavalry who had just returned. "Fortunately, General!" The first person was sweating profusely, but he still took out a letter to Zhao Feng.
"Yuan Yin was captured, this is an emergency chapter written by Ji Ling to Yuan Shu. Someone, find me a craftsman, and make and engrave a seal overnight according to the stamp on it. Zhao Feng summoned Zhang Liao and the others overnight, and then ordered to go down.
"General Zhao, are you trying to fake the military situation?" Zhang Liao finally understood, and for a while, Zang Ba and the others also had a sense of sudden enlightenment. "Not only that, I have to make Ji Ling surrender!" Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"Let Ji Ling surrender?" Everyone looked at each other, they all felt incredible, and Zhao Feng didn't want to play tricks anymore, so he immediately said: "You follow me to the prison to see that Yuan Yin, and you will understand!" Zhang Liao and the others were confused, but they still kept up with Zhao Feng.
"General Zhao, I've written the letter you wanted!" Yuan Yin didn't suffer any torture, not even tied up, on the contrary, there was a table in the cell where he was held, with all kinds of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Very good, hey, where is the official seal on this?" Zhao Feng picked up the letter and looked at it, and found that it had been stamped with Yuan Yin's official seal.
"The official seal and the last general are all carried with him, General Zhao, you want me to write a letter to arrest Ji Ling's family, and I have already complied!" Yuan Yin's face was flattering, and it was hard to believe that this guy was still a general.
"It seems that General Yuan cherishes his official seal very much, don't worry, Your Excellency, I will bury it with you." Zhao Feng said lightly after putting the letter into the envelope, but these words were like five thunderbolts to Yuan Yin, "General Zhao, what do you say?" Yuan Yin was a little incoherent.
"My meaning is very clear, come on, slaughter this traitor and cut off his head!" After Zhao Feng finished this order, he left the prison with Zhang Liao and the others, who gradually understood, leaving Yuan Yin, who was howling, unmentioned.
After a short time, the craftsman reported that the seal on Ji Lingxin had also been carved out of wood. "Very good, General Zhang, I bother you to pretend to be Ji Ling to write a letter, I said you write." Zhao Feng looked at the lump of wood in his hand, and turned his head to Zhang Liaodao.
"General Yuan Yin, who violated the military order and entered the army without authorization, caused the war to be unfavorable, so he was beheaded and punished by military law!" Zhao Feng's letter was very short, and Zhang Liao waved it, and after writing it, he stamped it with a wooden seal.
"Very good, come on, send this letter and Yuan Yin's head to Yuan Shu in two days. In addition, pick fifty more fine soldiers, bring Yuan Yin's warrant, and go to arrest Ji Ling's family! Zhao Feng finally finished his order.
"General Zhao really has a clever plan, Ji Ling's family was invited by us, Yuan Shu read this letter and Yuan Yin's head naturally can't tolerate him, now he is cornered, so he can only surrender!" Zhang Liao also fully understood here, and Guan Ping, Zang Ba and others immediately understood when they heard him say this.
"General Zhao really has a brilliant plan, but why did he lose five times in a row before?" Wu Dun, who was the most anxious, still raised his own questions. "Hehe, Ji Ling is Yuan Shu's general, and Yuan Shu will not suspect him easily. But if I lose five times in a row, Yuan Yin will report to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu will also decide that Yuan Yin will not be captured. In this way, when Yuan Shu saw Yuan Yin's head and this fake letter, he would think that Ji Ling had killed Yuan Yin to make trouble, so he couldn't believe it! Zhao Feng explained in detail.
"I see!" After listening to Zhao Feng's explanation, everyone suddenly understood, and then looked at Zhao Feng's eyes with a little awe: such a strategy is one ring after another, it is really a good plan. How do they know that this is Zhao Feng according to the method of Xu Maogong forcing Pei Yuanqing to surrender in "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" seen in his previous life, and Zhao Feng's IQ will not be higher than Yang Guang's.
Sure enough, two days later, in Shouchun City, Yuan Shu received this head and letter, and immediately became angry: "Ah Yin is obviously going to win every battle, how can the war be unfavorable?" It is clear that he Ji Ling is jealous of his ability, and he actually dares to kill my younger brother? It's really unreasonable, come here, go to the army to arrest Ji Ling and bring him to justice! ”
Besides, after Ji Ling and Qiao Mao withdrew twenty miles, they waited for two days and didn't wait for news from Guangling City, but they waited for Yuan Shu's Qincha to come and still came to arrest him.
"What?" When Ji Ling heard that Yuan Yin was killed, the head was sent to Yuan Shu, and he also added a letter of his own, and he was confused for a while. "My lord Mingjian, Yuan Yin was captured in the battle three days ago, and we have already reported to Your Majesty. As for how he died, I really don't know! Ji Ling hurriedly explained.
"General Ji, you are good at killing the imperial family, the evidence is conclusive, do you still have to be clever to tell the truth now? Come on, take it for me! As soon as the eunuch who announced the decree gave the order, several accompanying soldiers immediately stepped forward to tie up Ji Ling.
"Death to the thief!" But it was Qiao Mao who suddenly attacked, and he and his own soldiers drew swords and chopped over these soldiers, leaving the eunuch who was trembling with fear.
"Brother Qiao, who are you?" Ji Ling had already been in a trance by the sudden blow.
"General Ji, no matter how this Yuan Yin died, now Yuan Shu will definitely not believe us, you will definitely be more than lucky. Yuan Shu usurped the title of emperor, sooner or later he will be exterminated, how can I, as a courtier of the Han Dynasty, be rebellious? It's better to take the opportunity to kill this Yan thief and defect to Liu Yuanjun in Xuzhou! Hashimao said hatefully.
"Will Liu Yuanjun take us in?" Ji Ling was still a little hesitant.
"Liu Yuanjun even took in the Yellow Turban Thief, not to mention that we will abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" Qiao Mao was actually not very sure in his heart, but he still said strongly.
"Well, the matter has come to this, Yuan Shu is unkind, and my Ji Ling will be unjust!" After Ji Ling finished speaking, he took the knife in Qiao Mao's hand and stabbed the remaining dead eunuch to death.
In the winter of the second year of Jian'an, in 197 AD, Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling led his troops to surrender to Liu Bei.
"Mother!" After surrendering, as soon as Ji Linggang entered Guangling City, he saw that it was his family who was coming to him, and he was even more confused for a while.
"Hehe, General Ji, Lingtang is exactly what I picked up." Zhao Feng hugged his fists and said with a smile, and then told Ji Ling what had happened.
"I see!" After Ji Ling and Qiao Mao listened to Zhao Feng's entire planning process, they suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: it turned out that they had been calculated for so long. But seeing that the matter had come to this, he still surrendered, and Zhao Feng also hurriedly sent people to move the families of Qiao Mao and other generals, which made Qiao Mao and others very grateful, and they surrendered sincerely.
"What a Bo Tao!" In the city of Xuzhou, Liu Bei received a military report from Zhao Feng and learned that he had designed to recruit Ji Ling and more than 100,000 of his subordinates, and he was immediately happy. Chen Gong took the military report and read it carefully, and sighed for a long time: "General Zhao is clever, I can't do it!" ”
Although the season has reached winter, Xuzhou is very busy. Ji Ling's surrender also brought over more than 100,000 soldiers, which was almost the same as Xuzhou's original troops, and it was obvious that Ji Ling could no longer be left alone. Therefore, how to reorganize and train has become a task in the new stage. After Ji Ling and Qiao Mao met Liu Bei in Xuzhou, they were named General of Breaking and General Zhichong respectively, and then led the army to garrison the East China Sea.
As for Zhao Feng, he and Zhang Liao and others guarded the first front between Xuzhou and Huainan: Guangling. However, Yuan Shu has just been seriously injured, and there should be no major action for the time being, and Zhao Feng and the others only occasionally go out to inspect the defense of Guangling County, and the rest of the time is still important to defend the city. In his spare time, Zhao Feng competed with Zhang Liao and Guan Ping, or asked Zhang Liao for archery. Zhao Feng was angry that he couldn't shoot Cao Ying who was close at hand in the melee, and he even felt that if he was replaced by Huang Zhong instead of Song Xian, that arrow might have killed Cao Ying.
On this day, Zhao Feng was returning to the Guangling County Mansion after competing with Zhang Liao, but saw a doorman come to report, "General Zhao, there is a girl outside the door who claims to be your old friend and has something urgent to see you." ”
"Friends?" Zhao Feng was stunned, he didn't seem to have any female surnames. "What is she like, has she ever explained her identity?" Zhao Feng asked.
"She only said that her surname was Zhen, and she looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old." The doorman replied honestly.
"Could it be her?" When Zhao Feng heard this, he immediately remembered the little Lori in the jewelry store in Pengcheng County, and immediately ordered someone to let her in.
"General Zhao, please save my sister quickly!" As soon as she entered the door, Xiao Lori Zhen Mi was already in tears, and then knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.
"Miss Zhen, please, what happened?" Zhao Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhen Mi, who was crying bitterly, no matter what, such a beautiful and lovely little girl pear blossom with rain is always very pitiful.
Little Lori Zhen Mi stopped crying and told the reason for the incident intermittently.
