Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 48 Ji Ling Surrenders
"What do you want?" Ji Ling asked Yuan Yin, who was pinned down on the top of the wall and could not move. There were still two knives around his neck.

"We don't want to do anything, but we just want to ask General Ji to retreat for twenty miles. I will give you an explanation within ten days." Zhao Feng said loudly from the top of the city.

"What do you mean?" Ji Ling was a little hard to understand Zhao Feng's words, and Qiao Mao on the side said bluntly: "Why should we trust you?"

"Believe it or not, the 10,000+ soldiers of the two armies here can hear clearly. If I, Zhao Feng, cannot give you an explanation within ten days, I will never lead the army again!" Just as Zhao Feng finished speaking, Ji Ling also yelled Said: "Okay, I believe you, then I will retreat first, and see what you can come up with in ten days!"

"General Ji, why don't you take the opportunity to attack the city? Wouldn't it be great if you could kill Yuan Yin with the help of the Xuzhou army?" Qiao Mao asked in a low voice when Ji Ling was withdrawing his troops.

"Hey, 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 the words, and the two ordered to pull out the stronghold and retreat twenty miles At the same time, Ji Ling urgently wrote a memorial and sent it to Yuan Shu in Huainan to inform him of the details.

"How is it?" In Guangling City at night, Zhao Feng asked the cavalry who had just returned. "Fortunately, General!" The leader was sweating profusely, but still took out a memorial to Zhao Feng.

"Yuan Yin was captured. This is an emergency memorial written by Ji Ling to Yuan Shu. Come, find me a craftsman, and make a seal according to the stamp on it overnight." Zhao Feng summoned Zhang Liao and others overnight, and then ordered down the road.

"General Zhao, are you trying to fake the military situation?" Zhang Liao finally understood, and Zang Ba and others suddenly realized it. "More than that, I want Ji Ling to surrender!" Zhao Feng laughed.

"Let Ji Ling surrender?" Everyone looked at each other, feeling unbelievable, Zhao Feng didn't want to play tricks anymore, and immediately said: "Everyone follow me to the prison to see Yuan Yin, and you will understand!" Zhang Liao and others were confused, but they still followed Go to Zhao Feng.

"General Zhao, I've written the letter you want!" Yuan Yin didn't suffer any torture, not even tied up. On the contrary, there was a table in the cell where he was locked up, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it.

"Very good, very good, hey, where is the official seal on it?" Zhao Feng picked up the letter and looked at it, and suddenly found that Yuan Yin's official seal had been stamped on it.

"The official seals are always carried with you, General Zhao, you asked me to write a letter to arrest Ji Ling's family, and I have already done so!" Yuan Yin said with a flattering expression, and it was hard to believe that this guy was still the same with his nodding and bowing. 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 calmly after putting the letter in the envelope, but these words were like a thunderbolt to Yuan Yin, "General Zhao, you How do you say it?" Yuan Yin spoke incoherently.

"I understand what I mean, come, kill this traitor and cut off his head!" After Zhao Feng gave this order, he left the prison with Zhang Liao and others who gradually understood, leaving behind Yuan Yin who was howling. do not mention.

Not long after, the craftsman reported that the seal on Ji Lingxin had also been carved out of wood. "Very good, General Zhang, please pretend to be Ji Ling and write a letter, I tell you to write it." Zhao Feng looked at the lump of wood in his hand, turned his head and said to Zhang Liao.

"Great General Yuan Yin, violated the military order and entered the army without authorization, which made the war unfavorable, so he beheaded him in order to rectify the military law!" Zhao Feng's letter was very short, and Zhang Liao wrote it in one go, and stamped it with a wooden seal.

"Very good, come and send this letter and Yuan Yin's head to Yuan Shu in two days. In addition, pick fifty fine soldiers and bring Yuan Yin's warrant to arrest Ji Ling's family!" Zhao Feng At last the order was over.

"General Zhao really has a clever plan. We invited Ji Ling's family. After Yuan Shu read this letter and Yuan Yin's head, he naturally couldn't tolerate him. Now he has no other choice but to surrender!" Zhang Liao also fully understood here, and After hearing what he said, Guan Ping, Zang Ba and others immediately understood.

"General Zhao really has a clever plan, but why did he lose five days in a row?" Wu Dun, who was the most impatient, still raised his own doubts. "Hehe, Ji Ling is the general of Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu will not doubt him easily. But after we lose five days in a row, Yuan Yin will report to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu will also believe that Yuan Yin will not be captured. In this way, Yuan Shu will see Yuan Shu With Yin's head and this fake letter, he will think that Ji Ling killed Yuan Yin and caused chaos, so he can't believe it!" Zhao Feng explained in detail.

"So that's how it is!" After listening to Zhao Feng's explanation, everyone immediately understood, and looked at Zhao Feng with a little awe in their eyes: such a trick is really scheming.They didn't know that this was based on what Zhao Feng had seen in "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" in his previous life. Xu Maogong forced Pei Yuanqing to surrender. Zhao Feng understood that Yuan Shu's IQ would not be higher than Yang Guang's.

Sure enough, two days later in Shouchun City, Yuan Shu was furious when he received the head and the letter: "Ayin obviously wins every battle, how could he be disadvantaged in the battle? It is clear that he, Ji Ling, is jealous of talents, and 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 their troops for [-] miles, they waited for two days without any news from Guangling City, but Yuan Shu's imperial envoy came to arrest him.

"What?" Ji Ling heard that Yuan Yin was killed, his head was sent to Yuan Shu, and he added a memorial of his own, but he couldn't figure it out for a while. "Master Mingjian, Yuan Yin went to battle and was captured three days ago, and we have already reported to His Majesty. As for how he died, I really don't know!" Ji Ling hurriedly explained.

"General Ji, you murdered the royal family without permission. The evidence is conclusive. Are you still talking about it now? Come, take it down for me!" The eunuch who announced the decree gave the order, and several accompanying soldiers immediately stepped forward to tie up Ji Ling. .

"Yan Bandit suffers death!" It was Qiao Mao who made a sudden attack, drew his sword and chopped up these soldiers with his own soldiers, leaving only the trembling eunuch.

"Brother Qiao, who is this?" Ji Ling was already a little dazed by the sudden blow.

"General Ji, no matter how Yuan Yin died, Yuan Shu will definitely not trust us now, and your going will definitely be a disaster. Yuan Shu will be exterminated sooner or later. Rebellion? Why don't you take the opportunity to kill this Yan thief and go to Xuzhou's envoy Liu!" Qiao Mao said bitterly.

"Will Mr. Liu take us in?" Ji Ling still hesitated.

"Liu Shijun even takes in the Yellow Turban thief, let alone I will turn to the light?" Qiao Mao was actually not very sure in his heart, but he still insisted.

"Forget it, the matter has come to this point, Yuan Shu is not benevolent, and I, Ji Ling, will be unrighteous!" After Ji Ling finished speaking angrily, he took the knife from Qiao Mao's hand and stabbed the remaining dead eunuch to death.

In the winter of the second year of Jian'an, 197 AD, Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling led his troops to surrender to Liu Bei.

"Mother!" As soon as Ji Ling entered Guangling City after surrendering, seeing his family members approaching him, he was even more puzzled for a while.

"Hehe, General Ji, I'm the one who picked up Lingtang." Zhao Feng cupped his fists and laughed, and then told Ji Ling exactly what happened.

"So that's how it is!" After hearing Zhao Feng's entire planning process, Ji Ling and Qiao Mao broke out in a cold sweat at the same time: It turns out that they have been tricked for so long.But seeing that the matter has come to this point, he still surrendered. In addition, Zhao Feng also hurriedly sent people to remove Qiao Mao and other family members of the surrendered generals. This move made Qiao Mao and others very grateful, and they surrendered.

"What a Bo Tao!" In Xuzhou City, Liu Bei received Zhao Feng's military report and learned that he had planned to recruit Ji Ling and his more than [-] subordinates, and he burst into laughter from ear to ear.Chen Gong took the military newspaper and read it carefully, sighed for a long time: "General Zhao has a clever plan, I can't match it!"

Although the season has come to winter, Xuzhou is very busy up and down.Ji Ling's surrender also brought over 10,000+ soldiers, which is almost equal to Xuzhou's original strength, and it is obvious that Ji Ling can no longer lead it alone.So how to reorganize and train has become a new stage of the task.After Ji Ling and Qiao Mao met Liu Bei in Xuzhou, they were named General Polu and General Zhechong respectively, and then led their troops to garrison the East China Sea.

As for Zhao Feng, he and Zhang Liao and others guarded the first front line between Xuzhou and Huainan: Guangling.However, Yuan Shu's vitality was seriously injured just now, so he probably won't make any big moves for the time being. Zhao Feng and others only went out occasionally to inspect the defense of Guangling and Zhuxian County, and the rest of the time it was important to defend the city.In his spare time, Zhao Feng would compete with Zhang Liao and Guan Ping, or ask Zhang Liao about archery.Zhao Feng was very worried about his inability to shoot Cao Cao who was close at hand in the scuffle that day. He even felt that if it was Huang Zhong instead of Song Xian, that arrow might have killed Cao Cao.

On this day, Zhao Feng was returning to the Guangling County government office after the martial arts competition with Zhang Liao, but he saw a guard coming to report, "General Zhao, there is a girl outside the door who claims to be your old friend and needs to see you urgently."

"Old friends?" Zhao Feng was stunned, he didn't seem to have any old female friends. "What does she look like, has she ever explained her identity?" Zhao Feng asked.

"She only said her surname is Zhen, and she looks like she is only fourteen or fifteen years old." The guard replied honestly.

"Could it be her?" Zhao Feng immediately remembered the little loli in the jewelry store in Pengcheng County when he heard the words, and immediately ordered someone to let her in.

"General Zhao, I beg you to save my sister quickly!" As soon as she entered the door, the little loli Zhen Mi burst into tears, and then she knelt down and begged.

"Miss Zhen, please, what happened?" Zhao Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhen Mi who was weeping bitterly. No matter what, such a beautiful and lovely girl with pear blossoms and rain is always very pitiful.

Only then did little loli Zhen Mi stop crying, and told the story intermittently.
