Chapter 2677 Ying Hao persuaded Ji Ling to surrender, Zhao Yun captured Cao Wenzhao

After feeling the sharpness of the blade, Ji Ling swallowed subconsciously and was extremely shocked.

I thought that Ji Ling, who had experienced many battles, was no match for this female general.

How can this be?

“Be honest and don’t try to play tricks, otherwise I will chop off your limbs and turn you into a stick, believe it or not.”

Ji Ling originally wanted to resist, but after hearing such a cruel threat from Zhu Rong, he immediately dared not have any ideas.

Seeing that Ji Ling was so good, Zhu Rong nodded with satisfaction, and then shouted: "Ji Ling has been captured, and those who surrender will not be killed."

The defenders in the city who were still resisting saw that their leader, Ji Ling, had really been captured alive. Their morale suddenly plummeted, and they no longer dared to show resistance. Some of them knelt down and surrendered, while others turned around and ran away.

Zhu Rong didn't care about the fleeing Wei soldiers. After all, Yangyin City had been captured by the Qin army. Even if he ran away, where could he go?

After Zhu Rong ordered his men to tie up Ji Ling, he was going to take Ji Ling to ask for credit from Ying Hao, so as to get the next chance to fight. After all, she got the chance to fight this time from Ying Hao.

At this time, Mu Guiying, Hua Mulan and other female generals had searched Yangyin City, but still could not find any trace of Ji Ling.

 Learning that Ji Ling had been met by Zhu Rong, who was going into battle for the first time, all the female generals were very envious of Zhu Rong's luck, but Zhu Rong said: "It's just Ji Ling. The conquest of Wei has just begun, and there are still many opportunities to make meritorious deeds."

 All the female generals nodded unconsciously when they heard the words, but these words were extremely harsh in Ji Ling's ears.

 What is "just Ji Ling"? I am also very famous in the Central Plains, and I can be considered a famous general.

Ji Ling roared angrily in his heart, but he didn't dare to show up at all, because it was true that he failed to catch Zhu Rongshi's move.

Seeing the female general leading him out of the city, Ji Ling was a little confused and asked, "Nvxia, where are you taking me?"

Zhu Rong glanced at Ji Ling and said, "Ji Ling, you are not very strong, but you have quite a lot of connections. An old friend wants to meet you."

 Old friend?

Ji Ling couldn't help but be startled. He had no known friendship in Da Qin. Could it be that he was a general from the Yuan family in Hebei?

Ji Ling's predecessor, Yuan Shu, had a bad relationship with Yuan Shao, but after all, they were both members of the Yuan family, so their subordinates still had some friendship.

Ji Ling knew Ju Yi, Han Meng, Zhu Ling and others, but they were only acquaintances, not close friends. It was unlikely that they would take risks to protect themselves.

“I wonder who this old friend is?” Ji Ling asked curiously.

Zhu Rong did not answer, but shouted coldly: "There is so much nonsense, you will know it soon."

Ji Ling saw that Zhu Rong was so moody and did not dare to ask more questions. After all, who made him a prisoner of war now.

Along the way, Ji Ling became more and more frightened, because all he encountered were Qin troops. Preliminary estimates were that there were tens of thousands of troops.

Obviously, Cao Wei miscalculated Great Qin's main attack direction. Cao Cao and Cao Bin both thought that Great Qin would march from Dagong Pass and Xuanyuan Pass, but in fact Great Qin chose Guangcheng Pass.

After Ji Ling entered the Qin army camp, he became more and more curious about who the old friend who wanted to see him was.

But when she saw that person, Ji Ling was so shocked that she couldn't even shut her mouth, because the old friend the Da Qin female general mentioned was actually the Da Qin Emperor Ying Hao.

“General Ji Ling, don’t you recognize this old friend of mine?” Ying Hao asked with a faint smile.

Ji Ling was immediately excited when he heard this. He quickly knelt down and saluted: "Ji Ling, the defeated general, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Qin."

Ying Hao and Ji Ling are indeed old acquaintances.

Ten years ago, Ying Hao had a conflict with Yuan Shu because he won the first prize in the Peony Poetry Association. When he chased Yuan Shu along the street and beat him up, he had fought against Ji Ling.

Ji Ling had the nickname "One-Eared General", and the ear he lost was cut off by Ying Hao himself in that battle.

Although Ji Ling had one of his ears cut off by Ying Hao, he didn't dare to resent Ying Hao because of it. After all, the identity gap between the two parties was too big. If Ying Hao didn't take the initiative to trouble him, he would have burned incense.

Seeing that Ji Ling was seriously injured and still wearing shackles, Ying Hao immediately pretended not to agree and said: "General Ji Ling and I are old friends. How can we be so negligent and quickly remove the chains from General Ji Ling?"

Hearing this, General Jiang Juan said quickly: "But Your Majesty, Ji Ling is an enemy general. If the shackles are removed, what if..."

“Nothing bad happens, don’t worry, General Ji Ling won’t hurt me.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 institutions...

Jiang Juan had no choice but to agree, and then removed the chains from Ji Ling, but his eyes were fixed on Ji Ling to prevent Ji Ling from suddenly going violent and assassinating Ying Hao.

Ji Ling was removed from the shackles and regained his mobility. Naturally, he did not dare to attack Ying Hao. After all, he was no match for Ying Hao ten years ago and even lost an ear.

With Ying Hao's extraordinary talent, it will only be stronger today ten years later. Not to mention that Ji Ling is still seriously injured at this time. Even if he is not injured, it is impossible to hurt Ying Hao.

Ying Hao ordered someone to give Ji Ling a seat, and then talked about old times with Ji Ling.

 The two of them actually had no friendship, so it was mainly Ying Hao who spoke and Ji Ling who agreed.

“Although I had a conflict with Brother Jiujiu at the beginning, it was just a dispute of temper. Later, when we conquered the Yellow Turbans and challenged Dong Zhuo, Brother Jiujiu was never absent, and he also contributed to the world..."

Ying Hao knew that Ji Ling had deeper feelings for Yuan Shu than Cao Cao, so he praised Yuan Shu, whom he didn't like much, in order to close the distance between him and Ji Ling.

 Don’t mention it, the effect of this move is almost immediate.

Ji Ling was indeed loyal to Yuan Shu. Seeing that Ying Hao admired his old master so much, he lowered his guard a lot and sighed: "Although Mr. Yuan has many shortcomings, he is much better than that villain Zhao Kuangyin. It's a pity that the sky has no eyes." ”

When Ying Hao heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Ji Ling looked at Yuan Shu through a filter, so the Yuan Shu in his eyes and the Yuan Shu in Ying Hao's eyes were not the same person at all. Ying Hao also had no intention of destroying Yuan Shu's image in Ji Ling's mind.

This is just like those brainless fans in later generations who have no brains to chase stars. Ji Ling is a brainless fan of Yuan Shu. He is completely hopeless. Nothing can shake Yuan Shu's status in his heart.

Ying Hao suppressed the embarrassment in his heart and pretended to sigh: "Yuan Gongli is still a kind person, but it's a pity that he doesn't know people well and allowed the traitor Zhao Kuangyin to usurp the foundation.

  General Ji Ling, you are the general whom Brother Road relies on and trusts the most. Don’t you ever think about Brother Road’s revenge? "

Ji Ling naturally wanted to take revenge, but at that time, Zhao Kuangyin's major event had already been accomplished. It was impossible for him to take revenge. He would rather die than surrender to Zhao Kuangyin. This was his last stubbornness.

 “Of course I’ve thought about it, but...”

Ji Ling had a sad look on his face, but Ying Hao was smiling secretly in his heart, thinking that the fish had finally taken the bait.

“General Ji Ling, please surrender to Da Qin. Cao Wei and Zhao Song are allies. In Cao Wei, you have no chance of revenge. Only in Da Qin, you can have the opportunity to avenge Brother Lu.”

Ying Hao stopped talking nonsense and started to get straight to the point, trying to persuade Ji Ling to surrender to the Qin Dynasty.

Ji Ling's strength is not very strong, but he is only first-rate and not yet at the level of a divine general. However, he is Yuan Shu's most trusted general, and he has great influence among the generals of Yuan Shu's line who surrendered to Zhao Song.

If Ji Ling defected to Da Qin, destroying Wei might not be of much help, but if he destroyed Song in the future, he would definitely be able to provide some help to Da Qin.

Ji Ling was deeply moved when he saw that Ying Hao personally persuaded him to surrender and his attitude was so sincere.

When he thought of joining Cao Cao, Cao Cao respected him on the surface, but in fact he only paid lip service to him. He also deprived himself of his military power in the original army and sent him to Yangyin City, a place where birds lay no eggs. This place is also euphemistically called the gatekeeper of the country.

With this thought, Ji Ling's remaining loyalty to Cao Cao dissipated. He knelt down decisively and said, "General Ji Ling, I am willing to submit to your majesty and die in the service of the Qin Dynasty."

“Okay, now that we have a general, we can destroy Wei in just a few days.”

Ying Hao smiled and helped Ji Ling up, but Ji Ling asked: "May I ask if your majesty has any strategy to seize Jiaxian County?"

“Jiaxian County is strong, and the defender is Cao Wenzhao, the general of the Cao Wei clan. We have a well-trained army, so I have no other way to break the city except to attack by force.

However, now that Yangyin City has fallen, Jiaxian County is unable to support itself, and it will only be a matter of time before our army breaks through. "Ying Hao said.

Hearing Ying Hao's words, Ji Ling took the initiative to ask for orders: "The final general is willing to capture Jiaxian for your majesty as a pledge of submission to the Qin Dynasty."

Ying Hao was moved in his heart and asked, "How will General Ji Ling prepare to help me seize Jiaxian County?"

“Your Majesty, Yangyin City is the acropolis of Jiaxian County. If there is a war here, it is impossible for Jiaxian County to not notice it.

Now Cao Wenzhao must have known that Yangyin City was attacked, but he did not know whether Yangyin City fell or whether the last general returned to Qin.

Therefore, if the general led a defeated army and fled back to Jiaxian, Cao Wenzhao would not be too suspicious and would most likely open the city to let the general enter, and the city gate captain Yuan Huan was also an old friend of the general. "

“Okay, just do what General Ji Ling said.”

After saying that, Ying Hao asked Jiang Juan to select five hundred soldiers, put on the armor of the defenders of Yangyin City, and then hand them over to Ji Ling to lead them to Jiaxian County, while Zhao Yun led the army to pursue and kill them. The drama is more real.

After Ji Ling led his army to leave, Zhu Rong said to Ying Hao: "Your Majesty, you just let Ji Ling go like this? Aren't you afraid that he will never come back?"

Ying Hao said: "I have always used people without doubting them, and without doubting them, Ji Ling appears to be loyal, but in fact he is also a cunning person. He will not give up this opportunity for revenge.

Let’s not talk about it anymore. My beloved concubine captured Ji Ling alive this time and made great contributions to our great Qin Dynasty. What reward do you want? "

“Ben, uh, I don’t want any reward, as long as your majesty allows me to be the vanguard.”

 “Pioneer?”

Ying Hao laughed and joked: "You are greedy, but with your strength, it is not impossible."

 “So your Majesty agreed?”

Zhu Rong suddenly looked surprised when he heard this, but Ying Hao shook his head and said: "No, I won't agree. Even if I let you become a pioneer, my beloved concubine, you still won't be able to convince the public, so you should stay in the Women's Army honestly for now."

Hearing this, Zhu Rong couldn't help but feel discouraged.

Ever since she saw the appearance of the Qin army, she was eager to lead the Qin army on the battlefield. After all, commanding such an army was something that no general could refuse, and Zhu Rong was no exception.

But what Ying Hao said is correct. Her current identity is the imperial concubine of the Great Qin. Being able to go to the battlefield has already broken the rules. Even if Ying Hao really lets her lead the army, she can't convince the crowd now. She might as well stay here honestly. Where is the Detachment of Women?

After thinking about this, Zhu Rong no longer hesitated and asked: "Your Majesty, do you think Ji Ling can capture Jiaxian County if he goes here?"

Ying Hao looked at the direction of Jiaxian from a distance, thought for a moment and then said: "It should be possible to capture it, but the process may not be that simple. After all, the defender of Jiaxian is Cao Wenzhou."

Zhu Rong couldn't help but look puzzled. He had never heard of Cao Wenzhao's name.

Zhu Rong didn’t know about Cao Wenzhao, so it’s natural that Ying Hao didn’t know about it.

Cao Wenzhao was a famous general of the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period in the late Ming Dynasty. He was courageous and wise. He made outstanding achievements in suppressing the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty. He was known as "When Wen Zhao was the most loyal and brave general, he was called the best general of the Ming Dynasty."

Ji Ling wanted to deceive ordinary generals, but if he wanted to deceive famous generals like Cao Wenzhao, he might not be ready enough.

Ying Hao knew that it would be difficult for Ji Ling to deceive Cao Wenzhao, but he still let Ji Ling go. Firstly, he had no loss whether he succeeded or not, and secondly, it was a test for Ji Ling.

Even though Ying Hao felt reassured about Ji Ling, he would not give up this opportunity if he could test it out.

Two days later, news came back from the front that Zhao Yun had conquered Jiaxian and captured Jiaxian's defender Cao Wenzhao alive. However, the process was far more tortuous than Ji Ling's plan.

Chapter 2 is still being written. It will be posted either at twelve o'clock or tomorrow morning.
