Less than two days after Zhang Lang took Ancheng, the news reached Han Xuan's ears. Han Xuan's first reaction was to write a letter, asking Shi to ask for support from Wang Wei of Baqiu. While Han Xuan was ready to hold on to Changsha, he ordered Liu Pan to abandon Youxian and move closer to Changsha. Because he knew that once Changsha was out of control and Xiangshui was not guaranteed, Baqiu would lose its longitudinal protection, and the seriousness of this result would be unacceptable to anyone.

After Zhang Lang took Ancheng, he ordered the city gates on all sides to be closed, and no one was allowed to leave the city without a special order. On the surface, soldiers began to be sent to repair the fortifications and prepare to hold on. Secretly, he took the main force, quietly transferred over, and began to approach Changsha.

Yang Ling has been fidgeting and in a trance for the past few days. On the one hand, he was deeply favored by Han Xuan's knowledge, but he felt guilty and uneasy for himself to betray his lord and ask for his life; On the other hand, although he surrendered to Zhang Lang, he was also free in the camp, but he had been idle in the camp for a few days, and Zhang Lang seemed to have forgotten about his general, and ignored it. This casts a shadow over his unknown future.

This night, Yang Ling, as usual, went out for a walk after dinner. was bored swimming around in the camp, when he suddenly found a few figures in front of him treacherous, while intentionally or unintentionally avoiding some patrol sentries, in case he ran into a sentry, he could calmly deal with the slogan. Yang Ling was clever and quietly followed.

At this moment, just as the patrol team had just passed, one person quickly ran to a camp tent, and the others were outside the door. After less than half a minute, the man ran out of the tent, carrying a bag in his hand, and waved at the men, and then the men dispersed as if nothing had happened. Yang Ling was thinking to the side, these people seemed to be doing something unseemly. Yang Ling was already idle and panicked, and he had the intention to please Zhang Lang, so he couldn't help but secretly follow the backpacker.

The soldier carried the bag thief head and thief brain, and from time to time he checked whether anyone was following, and as soon as he slipped through the smoke, he ran into a dark corner.

Yang Ling was a little puzzled, it was just not long after dark, and the soldiers on patrol were also walking around, everything was normal, but how could these people be so bold and openly steal, and they took the time so well. It happened to be in the little bit of time when the patrol soldiers were changing shifts and moving around.

Their whereabouts affirmed Yang Ling's thoughts even more.

Sure enough, the few people who had just dispersed suddenly gathered together from all directions, and then walked together to a very remote tent, probably some kind of firewood room or something, and the three of them hid in it, not knowing what to mutter.

Yang Ling hid outside the tent and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.

However, because they spoke softly, they could only hear something about jewelry, murder, or anything like that.

Yang Ling secretly said in his heart: This should be a few soldiers who can't stand the pain of the march, secretly grabbing valuable things such as treasures, and wanting to escape across the village. Unexpectedly, he was hit by himself, and this should be a great opportunity for his own meritorious service. Thinking of it for a while, Yang Ling immediately appeared, lifted the tent with one hand, and shouted like liquid, "What a big boldness, don't think that what you are doing is unaware." But I didn't expect to be touched by Uncle Yang Ling, do you obediently go with me to see the patrol adult, or let Uncle Ben take you there? ”

The soldiers seemed to be blinded all of a sudden, and they were all stupid, not knowing what to do. After a long while, one of them stammered: "General Yang, your subordinates are merciful, and there is something to discuss." Since there were no lights in the tent, it was impossible to see their faces, but Yang Ling could imagine their pleading expressions.

Yang Ling sneered: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. What kind of good things are you doing? ”

Obviously, the tone in which the first person spoke, the other soldier said with a flattering look: "General Yang, the little ones are willing to honor your old man with half of them, what do you think?" ”

Yang Ling asked, "Whose things did you steal?" What is it? ”

Yang Ling asked this, and those people rushed to answer: "This bag is full of jewelry, which was awarded to Vice General Huang by the lord." ”

Yang Ling exclaimed: "It's all jewelry? ”

Seeing that Yang Ling seemed to be a little moved, those people even more excited: "Yes, this is jewelry, which is very valuable." ”

Yang Ling's heart was sour and sad, with a little temptation, but thinking about the current situation, Yang Ling could only stubbornly say: "You are dead today, you go with me to see General Huang." ”

The soldier pleaded again.

Yang Ling was resolute and did not accept this temptation. For people like Yang Ling, the reason why he didn't accept it was because he was not tempted enough. The reason why I still want to be loyal to Zhang Lang is because the stakes for betrayal are too low. Even if he was with Han Xuan, no matter how good it was, once the conditions appeared, he would still betray him.

When the soldier saw that the temptation failed, he immediately changed his tone and threatened: "General Yang, you still don't know your current situation, do you?" ”

This was talking about Yang Ling's distress, he wanted to refute, but he was eager to know what the other party wanted to say, so he couldn't help asking: "Isn't General Ben very good now?" I believe that it will not be long before I will be reused by the lord. ”

Soldier A laughed and said, "General Yang, you're too naïve, right?" In fact, it's no wonder that you don't know what is going on at the top. I'm afraid that soon, not only will you not be reused, but you will also fall to the ground. Do you believe it or not? ”

Although Yang Ling didn't fully believe this, he also had some scruples in his heart, and he said angrily: "Do you think that by instigating like this, you can let General Ben let you go?" Have you forgotten too? The lord is a well-known love outside, and he never kills a person casually. Do some of you jump over the wall and slander people casually? ”

The soldier said, "Then you don't know anything." You're right, the lord cherishes talents very much, and he never kills people casually. But that doesn't mean he won't kill, especially in very unfavorable circumstances. You should also know that the Xiakou front is very tight now. Changsha is now used as a breakthrough point, and it has played a role in determining the entire war situation. As a surprise soldier, Zhang Lang personally led it, which shows that the situation has reached the point where it cannot be delayed. If you can exchange your surname for a big victory, do you think Zhang Lang will do it? ”

Yang Ling was suspicious: "Although Yang believes in his own ability, he hasn't affected the ability of the entire battle situation, right?" ”

Soldier A didn't panic, he said: "General Yang is not a villain talking about you, your ability can only have an impact in Changsha." But this is enough. I don't know if the general is interested in making a deal with me right now. If you believe it, you will let our brother go, and if you can't believe it, then our brother will also give up his life, and it will be a big deal to die. ”

Yang Ling's heart was shaken, and he thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then tell me what you see?" ”

Soldier B ran up to pick Yang Ling in, then looked outside and quickly pulled up the tent. It was pitch black inside. Yang Ling just wanted to speak, but Soldier A lowered his voice and said, "General Yang, do you know that you are about to come to a catastrophe." ”

Yang Ling was a little dissatisfied: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Soldier A said unhurriedly: "A few days ago, General Huang and General Sun drank together, and the younger one served on the side. The two generals got up with their surnames and commented together, which also talked about you, the general. Speaking of this, the soldier deliberately stopped and adjusted Yang Ling's appetite.

Yang Ling's eyebrows jumped, and he said in a low voice: "What did you say about me?" ”

Soldier A was a little hesitant and said: "At that time, Vice General Huang said to Vice General Sun that General Yang is unreliable and has no ability at all, why don't you just kill you and let you surrender?" The soldier paused again when he said this, he clearly felt the change in Yang Ling's mood, and his breathing became rapid because of anger.

Yang Ling said coldly: "Go on." ”

Soldier A said again: "Vice General Sun laughed at the time, saying that Vice General Huang didn't understand, but in fact, the lord asked Vice General Yang to surrender, but he just wanted to hang your head on the banner for three days when attacking Changsha, and then send back the body to Han Xuan, and then provoke it." ”

Yang Ling blurted out: "Is this true? ”

The soldier said: "General Yang, think about it, when you followed Han Xuan in Changsha before, you were also considered a popular figure, you want the wind to be windy, and you want to be rainy." More importantly, Han Xuan has always valued you very much, and you have never let him down and become his right-hand man. If at this time, hang your head on the military flag, Han Xuan will definitely be hit hard, mess up, and make an impulse to avenge the general, so he will be confused by the lord's plan. ”

Yang Ling's eyes were full of suspicion, and he only muttered in his heart, because he didn't fully believe what the soldier said was true, and he didn't dare not believe it at all. Yang Ling thought for a moment and asked, "How can I prove that what you said is true?" ”

Soldier A snorted, obviously a little disdainful of Yang Ling: "General Yang, you don't want to think about it, if the villain is not General Huang's guard, how can he be so familiar with his situation and easily steal these precious things?" ”

Yang Ling felt that there was some truth, and he couldn't help but ponder in his heart, and he couldn't make up his mind.

The soldier puffed up his tongue and said, "For the sake of today's plan, I can only find a time to escape back to Changsha from Xin, as long as I explain it clearly to Han Xuan, I believe he will still reuse you as before." Otherwise, if you stay in this barracks, you are afraid that you will die sooner or later. ”

Yang Ling's heart couldn't help but waver, wondering: "I surrendered before, and now I rebel again, won't I become a ruthless and unrighteous person?" ”

The soldier smiled: "That's also forced by the form, and it has to be a last resort." ”

Yang Ling thought of his scenery in Changsha, and couldn't help but be shaken in his heart, thinking about the possible surname of returning to Changsha.

Seeing that Yang Ling was distressed, the soldier volunteered: "After tonight, it is impossible for the three of us brothers to stay in the barracks, if General Yang raises his noble hand, our brothers are willing to risk their lives to send a letter to Changsha for General Yang." I just don't know what General Yang thinks? ”

Yang Ling thought carefully for a long time, if Zhang Lang wanted to kill himself, he would have killed him earlier, so why should he let himself kill with the life of a collaborator? Could it be that he casually killed the general, afraid of ruining his reputation? Yang Ling remembered that Zhang Lang had a good reputation, and couldn't help but be sure of his thoughts. In this case, as long as you are careful and don't do anything wrong, you don't have any handle in their hands, logically speaking, Zhang Lang will not kill himself so casually. Besides, the identities of these people are really very suspicious, and it is possible that they were sent by Zhang Langfa to test themselves. Since Yang Ling thought so, he couldn't help but make a decision, and said angrily: "You escaped from the battle, and embezzled military funds, and it is difficult to escape the death penalty, and you have repeatedly instigated this general to be annihilated with you, which is really an unforgivable crime." Come on, come on. Yang Ling tore open his throat and screamed loudly, and the voice came far away in the silent night.

The soldiers, annoyed and angry, were forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, and both showed their guys, wanting to kill Yang Ling.

Although Yang Ling also had some brute strength, he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark night, and after hearing the sound of weapons, he hurriedly ran out.

Several patrolling sentries in the distance had already rushed over after hearing the shouts.

Several soldiers rushed out of the tent, wanting to kill Yang Ling, but they saw a loud noise, the torches were rapidly approaching, and the footsteps were getting louder and louder, and the two groups of patrol soldiers in front were already less than dozens of steps away. When several people saw this, they pulled their legs and ran.

However, the patrol signals of the military village rose and fell with each other, and the whole military village had already been alarmed, and all the patrols had come to support from all directions. Don't let Yang Ling say anything, the patrol chased after the soldiers who escaped in all directions.

Soon, the patrol team arrested several people, all of them were arrested, and none of them escaped.

Yang Ling told the night watchman Quan Cong about everything.

Quan Cong simply praised it twice and left to deal with things. Leaving Yang Ling, he was at a loss.

In Zhang Lang's tent, the candles were bright and there were laughs.

Several soldiers knelt underneath, all smiling.

Zhang Lang was also overjoyed and praised well.

Tian Feng sighed repeatedly: "Wonderful, wonderful." The lord has a clever plan. ”

Zhang Lang said disapprerovitically: "A good show also thanks to good actors." I'm rewarded for a great job you've done. ”

Those soldiers were the ones who were going to sit with Yang Ling just now to share the spoils, and they were also overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly.

Zhang Lang waved them back satisfied.

Tian Feng saw that the soldiers were retreating, and sighed again: "In this way, Yang Ling will rebel." In a few days, he will inevitably send a message to Han Xuan, and when the time comes, the master's plan will be completely implemented. ”

Zhang Lang stretched his waist and said triumphantly: "Yang Ling is indeed unreliable. Now it's just freshly served, and the main dish hasn't been served yet. ”

Tian Feng was still a little worried while being proud: "I'm afraid that this plan is too fierce to serve the food, and Han Xuan can't bear it, so he kills Huang Zhong." I'm afraid it's more than worth the loss. ”

Zhang Lang said with confidence: "Don't worry, Liu Pan will definitely support Huang Zhong." ”
