Su Dedao: "Now that Zhao Meng is in the list, I am not afraid of this Ji Ling." General, if the two of them continue to fight like this, who do you think will win in the end? ”

Zu Zhao said quietly: "The two of them fight, and they will eventually draw, he can't help Zhao Meng, and Zhao Meng can't help him Ji Ling." When Zu Zhao said this, he thought that Ji Ling would eventually become Yuan Shu's first fierce general. However, he did have an idea, and directly received Ji Ling under his command, but he didn't know if the big-eared thief would ask Lu Bu for help when he and Liu Bei clashed. It's best to just take Lu Bu directly, and many things won't happen.

However, now he hasn't even seen Ding Yuan, let alone seen any Lu Bu. Things have not developed so far, the current problem is to exterminate this Zhao Ci rebellious party, and return Liaodong to a calm, their own combat readiness is sufficient, and finally have the capital to compete with the princes of the world, but it can't be like Zhao Ci, the rear foundation is unstable and eager to advance, and in the end both sides receive attacks, and there is no place to retreat.

At this time, Ji Ling and Zhao Meng also became more and more courageous, and no one fell into disadvantage. Ji Ling knew that Zhao Meng couldn't fight like this, so he had a plan, pretended to be defeated, and rode back, but he didn't go into his camp, but ran to a small hill. Zhao Meng was fighting so much, seeing that Ji Ling had left suddenly, how could he let him go so easily, he shouted loudly, and immediately chased after him.

Zu Zhao looked at it on the mountain, and secretly shouted in his heart that it was not good, Zhao Meng chased after him alone, if he was ambushed, how could this be good, and immediately ordered someone to wave the flag and let Ma Yuan and Han Ye lead the troops to catch up. Ma Yuan and Han Ye were ordered, and each led hundreds of people to chase after them. Han Ye chased the old road, but Ma Yuan copied another path and ran directly into the mountain.

Zhao Meng chased after him for a while, and seeing that the distance between him and Ji Ling could not be narrowed by half a point, he shouted loudly: "The thief will leave and stay and fight to the death with me." ”

Ji Ling turned around and said, "Whoever said he was leaving, it depends on whether you dare to chase after him." After speaking, he stopped the horse's hooves and turned to fight with Zhao Meng. After less than twenty rounds of fighting, Ji Ling left again, and Zhao Meng shouted loudly and continued to pursue. After chasing for a while, Ji Ling fought and left, leading Zhao Meng to a low-lying open space.

Zhao Meng chased after him, saw the shadows of the trees shaking in the two mountains, and knew that Ji Lingjun was near here. He glanced back and saw Ma Yuan and Han Ye leading the army to follow, so he was not afraid in his heart, and followed with his horse. When Ji Ling saw Zhao Meng coming, he was overjoyed, stopped in the low-lying clearing, turned his horse's head to Zhao Meng, and said, "If you dare to chase after you, you can be regarded as a good man." ”

Zhao Mengdao: "Is it like you, just running away?" If you had known each other, you should have surrendered earlier, lest the sword in my hand hurt your life. ”

Ji Ling snorted and said: "You were originally a general under my lord's command, and now you have actually taken refuge in the enemy, if you change your mind, I will tell my lord and let him not read your mistakes, is it feasible?" ”

Zhao Mengdao: "You and I are the main masters, what's the use of saying this, either I arrest you and go back to my general, or you arrest me and go to see Zhao Ci." But Zhao Ci can't become a big person, I followed him before, because he killed corrupt officials and beheaded traitors, I thought he was a good person, but I found out that he was also a violent and bloody selfish person, compared with General Zu, he was a wicked person. ”

When Ji Ling heard this, he was furious in his heart and scolded: "Since you slander your lord like this, don't you really miss a little old love? ”

Zhao Meng sneered: "What old feelings are there to remember." If you don't accept it, you will go straight to war. If you are timid, you can retreat and tell Zhao Ci that if he abandons the city and surrenders, I will beg General Zu to spare him from dying, and if he refuses to obey, the day the city is broken, there will be a dead end. ”

Ji Ling said: "Then I will take your head first today and go back to dedicate it to my lord." So saying, he rushed up. Zhao Meng also brandished a knife and rode up to meet him. When the two fought, their respective soldiers arrived, Ma Yuan, Han Ye's army and Ji Ling's army happened to meet at the edge of the forest, and they didn't fight, they fought each other, and no one cared about Ji Ling and Zhao Meng, who were fighting alone.

The two armies fought for a long time, and before they knew it, it was already the middle of the day, and each was injured, and at this time the sky was gradually sinking, and it seemed that there would be heavy rain. While they were fighting, suddenly another army appeared in the mountains, and it was Ji Ling's reinforcements who arrived. When Ma Yuan saw that the enemy was outnumbered, and the sky was already falling with the slightest raindrop, he shouted at Zhao Meng to retreat.

When Zhao Meng heard this, he looked at the surrounding Ji Ling army, and knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would take advantage of the enemy, so he abandoned Ji Ling and followed Ma Yuan Han Ye and the others to withdraw down the mountain. Seeing Zhao Meng retreating, Ji Ling immediately commanded the army to pursue in the rain. Zhao Meng and the others did not dare to fight, and retreated after fighting, and slowly retreated down the mountain.

The morale of Ji Ling's army was greatly shaken, and they fought hard, and many of the soldiers led by Ma Yuan and Han Ye were killed and scattered. In the midst of the crisis, there was a shout ahead, and it turned out that Zu Zhao had sent reinforcements. Seeing that reinforcements were arriving, Zhao Meng immediately called for the army to fight back. Ma Yuan and Han Ye agreed, and led their troops to turn around and rush to kill.

Ji Ling's army didn't expect that the other party still had reinforcements, so they immediately panicked and retreated one after another. Ji Ling shouted a few times and took the lead in rushing to kill, and the army slowly stabilized. However, the strength of the Zu Zhao army was too great, and it had exceeded the number of their vanguard troops, Ji Ling felt a pang in his heart, knowing that it was the Zu Zhao rear army that had arrived, and it would be unfavorable for him to continue like this, so he immediately let the army withdraw.

After receiving the order to retreat, Ji Ling's army no longer had the heart to fight, and fled one after another. Zhao Meng and others took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, killing hundreds and capturing hundreds. Ji Lingjun finally pushed into the camp safely under Ji Ling's break, Zhao Meng's army chased to the gate of the camp, and Ji Lingjun shot Zhao Mengjun back.

In this battle, because Ji Ling did not expect the arrival of Zu Zhao's army, he was defeated, and Zu Zhao's army won a complete victory. Ji Ling returned to the camp, where spies were already waiting and had important information to report. It turned out that yesterday they had already discovered that Zu Zhao's army was traveling day and night, and they arrived here the day before the court, but the pioneer spies were caught by Zu Zhaojun, so the news could not be sent back quickly.

Ji Ling learned all this, and knew that if the Zu Zhao army attacked the camp tomorrow, they would definitely not be able to defend it, so he led the troops back to Xinchang City overnight and told Zhao Ci the news that the Zu Zhao army had arrived. Knowing that Zu Zhao's army had arrived, Zhao Ci was not panicked, he had already sent tens of millions of troops from Yizhou to send reinforcements, and he had already united with the Yellow Turban Yu Party and attacked all counties in Liaodong at the same time, making Zu Zhao weak. At that time, Zu Zhao was attacked on all sides, he either withdrew his troops and looked back at the head of Liaodong County, or he was looking for a strong attack on Xinchang City, no matter what, Zu Zhao had nothing to take advantage of, and he was the one who benefited in the end.

Ji Ling listened to Zhao Ci's plan and was deeply impressed. At the same time, he also said that only Zhao Meng was the only one in Zu Zhao's army who could fight against him, and the rest of the generals could not pick him up for fifty rounds. Zhao Ci was overjoyed in his heart, and rewarded Ji Ling for his good life, and gave two beauties to sleep with him that night, and two altars of good wine to drink together.

Ji Ling drank wine, but he didn't let the beauties sleep with him, but blasted them away. Now that the two armies are fighting, he doesn't want to waste his physical strength and energy on this red face. Zhao Ci saw that Ji Ling didn't want beautiful women, and laughed wildly in his heart, and hugged the two beauties who were originally given to Ji Ling into his room and waited for him.
