Lin Ran left the Red River Valley with his cavalry a little staggering, and the sky-high fire light reflected in Lin Ran's pupils, tearing through the dark night, giving people a feeling of spiritual shock. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Lin Ran has not yet reached the time to enjoy the joy of success, if they encounter a Yellow Turban Army now, they will be very dangerous, as long as they are delayed for a while, there will be a steady stream of Yellow Turban Army, with incomparable anger to tear their own men and horses to pieces of the city.

Lin Ran ordered to return to Yiyang City quickly, and he chose the road closest to Yiyang City, the main road outside Yiyang City.

Originally, this must be the most heavily defended place for the Yellow Turban Army, but Lin Ran speculated that now that there was such a big movement in the west and the Red River Valley, the Yellow Turban Army in these places must have been transferred, and it would be safe to return to the city from here.

Sure enough, along the way, Lin Ran and his party were not hindered, and they returned to the east of Yiyang City smoothly.

"Huh~~Squeak" Lin Ran blew a sharp slogan under the city, a bit similar to the chirping of a pheasant, which was a code for him and the receiving troops in the city to be better.

After receiving Lin Ran's code, the torches in the city lit up, and a team of people stood on the city gate and observed it carefully, and after confirming that it was Lin Ran, they ordered the city gate to be opened.

Lin Ran hurriedly led his troops into the city gate, and in an instant, the city gate was immediately closed.

As soon as Lin Ran entered the city gate, he found that both sides of the city gate were already full of generals and colonels of the imperial court army, and Zhou Ye, the general of Pingdong, was standing at the front of the team, smiling happily and looking at him.

Lin Ran didn't expect the other party to come to greet him in person, so he hurriedly dismounted, and a kind of imperial court sergeant behind Lin Ran also dismounted and saluted.

"My lord, Xiaobai is fortunate to have not disgraced his life, and he finally returned with a big victory! The enemy's food and grass have been burned for me! Lin Ran stepped forward and said.

Pingdong General Zhou Ye nodded, touched his sideburns, and said, "I have seen it on the city tower just now, this fire, okay." Yellow Turban rebels, defeat is decided! Haha, speaking of which, this battle was undoubtedly lost by our army, but now it can turn the corner thanks to you. Your credit this time is far more than mine. ”

Hearing Zhou Ye's words, Lin Ran hurriedly said: "Don't dare, our army can have such a big victory, it's all the blessing of the general." Without the strong support of the general, I am afraid that I would not even be able to get close to the Yellow Turban Army on my own! ”

"Are you afraid that I will fight with you? Or are you afraid that I will be jealous of you? Zhou Ye smiled and said clearly: "If my big man can have a few more talents like you Xiaobai, there will be no disaster today." For a young man like you, it is a blessing for my court to be able to be reused. However, it is not easy for you to know at such a young age that you can hide your edge, not be arrogant, and avoid attracting jealousy!

Alright, I have set up a celebratory banquet in the city in advance to welcome all the warriors who have returned triumphantly, so go quickly. By the way, go back and take a shower first, you are covered in blood now, don't scare the attendants in the house when the time comes! ”

As soon as Lin Ran entered the table, he heard the attendant come in and report that Zhu Zhijun, who had fought with the Yellow Turban Army's ambush army, had returned.

Zhou Ye said: "Quickly invite General Zhu in." “

Lin Ran got up and said, "I'll pick up General Zhu." “

"Okay." Zhou Ye responded.

When Lin Ran saw Zhu Zhi, Zhu Zhi had just gotten off the horse, and saw that the armor on Zhu Zhi's whole body had been soaked in blood, and the original white battle armor had turned into a dark red, exuding a faint fishy filth.

It's hard to imagine how many enemies it would take to kill that.

And the soldiers behind Zhu Zhi, Lin Ran gave him 500 troops before, and now there are less than 200 people who have returned to the city, and they are all wounded, and their armor and weapons are damaged, which shows the fierce battle on Zhu Zhi's side.

Lin Ran tidied up his robe for Zhu Zhi, and asked with some reproach, "Didn't you tell you to retreat after capturing the enemy chieftain?" How did it take so long and lose so many people? “

Zhu Zhi said apologetically: "Originally, I was preparing to retreat, but then the enemy army was defeated by me, and I saw this great opportunity, so I ordered the troops to pursue ......"

"You routed the other party?" Lin Ran interrupted Zhu Zhi's words in disbelief and asked. "You're not mistaken? The other party is more than 5,000 people? ”

Zhu Zhi nodded solemnly, signaling that he would never be mistaken. "Not only that, but our army also beheaded more than 2,000 enemy troops. It was only later that I encountered the main support of the Yellow Turban Army, and I had to lead my subordinates to break through and retreat. Originally, I had already killed the opponent's base camp! ”

Zhu Zhi said with some annoyance, as if he was very dissatisfied with this result.

Lin Ran was completely stunned by the strong strength of this historical-level general, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Five hundred defeated five thousand? And more than 2,000 people were killed! Still not satisfied?

"By the way, what about the enemy generals?" Lin Ran remembered, didn't Zhu Zhi capture the general of the other party's ambush? Why didn't you see this yellow turban thief?

Zhu Zhi opened a package and handed it to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran took it and looked at it, almost frightening him to have a heart attack.

You killed the other party and just told me! Suddenly give me a head in the middle of the night, and the other party's eyes are still looking at me, which will scare people to death!

Lin Ran was speechless for a while, this person in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was indeed bolder than the other.

"This Yellow Turban Army general just took advantage of the chaos to escape, and I couldn't take care of it, so I killed him and took the lead to come back to his life."

"Good." Lin Ran said with a smile, "Brother Zhu this time, you have made a great contribution, and it seems that you will be able to be reused by the imperial court soon." ”

Zhu Zhi also nodded happily, his ambition and decades of hard work are not what he is waiting for today?

The imperial army won a great victory tonight, and the city was full of jubilation and joy, not to say more, outside the city at this time, the Yellow Turban Army was a miserable and miserable relative.

In the morning, the fire in the Red River Valley burned overnight before it gradually extinguished, and the Yellow Turban Army had organized firefighting many times at night, but the fire in the Red River Valley was too big, and the firefighters couldn't even enter the valley, let alone rescue the grain in the granary, so they could only helplessly watch the valley burn out little by little.

By the next day, the fire was gradually extinguished, and when the Yellow Turban Army entered the valley, the valley on all sides was full of ashes and blackened trees.

Even the babbling river in the mountain stream was affected by the huge fire, and the ashes of the mountains were washed into the river, polluting an otherwise clear river into an unsightly black river! (To be continued.) )
