Chapter 49, the two will compete

Su De said, "Now Zhao Meng is on the list, but I'm not afraid of this Ji Ling. General, if they continue to fight like this, who do you think will win in the end?

Zu Zhaoyou said, "If the two of them fight, they will eventually be tied. He can't help Zhao Meng, and Zhao Meng can't help him Ji Ling." Zu Zhao said this when he thought that Ji Ling would eventually become Yuan Shu's first fierce general. However, he had an idea to directly receive Ji Ling under his command, but he didn't know whether the big-eared thief would ask Lv Bu for help when he and Liu Bei met. It's better to take Lv Bu directly. Many things won't happen.

However, I haven't even seen Ding Yuan now, let alone Lv Bu. Things have not yet developed so far. The current problem is to eliminate Zhao Ci's dissist party and return a peace in Liaodong. If you are well prepared, you will eventually have the capital to fight against the princes of the world. But like Zhao Ci, you can't be eager to make progress if the rear foundation is unstable. In the end, both sides are attacked, and there is no place to retreat. .

At this time, Ji Ling and Zhao Meng also fought more and more bravely, and no one fell into the disadvantage. Ji Ling knew that Zhao Meng could not fight like this. He had a plan and pretended to retreat and rode back, but he did not enter his own camp, but ran to a small hill. Zhao Meng was fighting. Seeing that Ji Ling suddenly left, how could he let him go so easily? He shouted and immediately chased after him.

Zu Zhao looked at the mountain and screamed in his heart. Zhao Meng chased him alone. If he was ambushed, what should he do? He immediately ordered people to wave the flag to let Ma Yuan and Han Ye lead his troops to catch up. Ma Yuan and Han Ye got the order and led hundreds of people to catch up with each other. Han Ye went straight to the old road, while Ma Yuan took another path and ran straight up the mountain.

Zhao Meng chased for a while and saw that the distance with Ji Ling could never be brought closer. He shouted, "The thief will leave and stay and fight to the death with me."

Ji Ling turned around and said, "Who said he was going to leave? It depends on whether you dare to chase him." After saying that, he stopped the horseshoe and turned to fight with Zhao Meng. After less than 20 rounds of the battle, Ji Ling left again. Zhao Meng shouted 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 for a while and saw the tree shadows shaking in the two mountains. He knew that Ji Lingjun was nearby. He looked back and saw that Ma Yuan and Han Ye led the army to follow him. He was not afraid and followed him. Ji Ling was overjoyed to see Zhao Meng following him. He stopped in the low-lying open space, turned his horse's head to Zhao Meng and said, "If you dare to chase him, you are a good man."

Zhao Meng said, "Is it like you, just running away? If you know each other, surrender earlier, so as not to hurt your life with the big knife in my hand.

Ji Ling snorted and said, "You were originally a general under my lord, but now you actually defect to the enemy. If you change your mind, I will definitely tell your lord that he will not miss your faults. Is it feasible?"

Zhao Meng said, "You and I are the main ones now. What's the use of saying this? Either I will catch you back and take my general, or you arrest me to see Zhao Ci. However, Zhao Ci can't be a big weapon. Before, I followed him because he killed corrupt officials and beheaded traitors. He thought he was a good person. Fortunately, he found that he was also a violent and bloody selfish person. Compared with General Zu, he was completely a villain.

Hearing this, Ji Ling was furious and scolded, "Since you slandered your master like this, don't you really miss the old feelings?"

Zhao Meng sneered: "What old feelings do you have? If you don't accept it, come and fight directly. If you are timid, you can retreat and tell Zhao Ci that if he abandons the city and surrenders, I will definitely ask General Zu to spare him not to die. If he does not obey, on the day of breaking the city, he will die.

Ji Ling said, "Then I will take your head today and go back to my lord." With that, the horse rushed up. Zhao Meng also waved a knife to meet him. When the two fought, their respective soldiers arrived. Ma Yuan and Han Ye's army and Ji Ling's army happened to meet by the forest, and they didn't talk. They fought each other. No one took care of the one-on-one Ji Ling and Zhao Meng.

The two armies have been fighting for a long time. Unconsciously, it has reached the middle of the day, and each of them has suffered damage. At this time, the sky is getting dark, and it is about to rain heavily. During the fight, suddenly another army appeared in the mountain, and it was Ji Ling's reinforcements. Ma Yuan saw that the enemy was powerful, and the sky had fallen with raindrops. He shouted at Zhao Meng and asked him to retreat.

When Zhao Meng heard the words, he looked at the large number of Ji Ling's army around him. He knew that if he continued to fight like this, he might make the enemy take advantage of it, so he abandoned Ji Ling and followed Ma Yuan and Han Ye to retreat down the mountain. Seeing Zhao Meng retreating, Ji Ling immediately commanded the army to pursue in the rain. Zhao Meng and others did not dare to fight, so they retreated and slowly retreated down the mountain.

Jiling's army's morale was shocked and he fought hard. Many of the soldiers led by Ma Yuan and Han Ye were killed and dispersed. During the crisis, there was a shout in front of him. It turned out that Zu Zhao sent reinforcements. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Zhao Meng immediately called the army to fight back. Ma Yuan and Han Ye agreed and led the troops to turn around and kill.

Ji Ling's army did not expect that there were still reinforcements on the other side, so they immediately panicked and retreated one after another. Ji Ling shouted several times and took the lead in rushing, and the army slowly stabilized down. However, Zu Zhao's army was so powerful that it had exceeded the number of their vanguard troops. Ji Ling was stunned and knew that it was Zu Zhao's army that had arrived. If it went on like this, it was unfavorable for him and immediately let the army withdraw.

After receiving the order to retreat, Ji Ling's army was no longer in the mood to fight and fled one after another. Zhao Meng and others took advantage of the situation to chase and kill hundreds and capture hundreds. After Ji Ling's break, the Ji Ling army was finally pushed into the camp safely. Zhao Meng's army chased to the gate of the camp. Ji Ling's army shot randomly and shot Zhao Meng's army back.

In this battle, because Ji Ling did not expect Zu Zhao's army to arrive, he was defeated, and Zu Zhao's army won a complete victory. Ji Ling returned to the camp, and there were spies waiting there for him, and there was important information to report. It turned out that yesterday, they had discovered that Zu Zhao's army was on a journey day and night. The court arrived here the day before, but the vanguard detective was caught by Zu Zhao's army, so the news could not be sent back soon.

Ji Ling learned all this and knew that if Zu Zhao's army would attack the camp tomorrow, they would definitely not be able to defend it, so he led his troops back to Xinchang City overnight and told Zhao Ci that Zu Zhao's army had arrived. Knowing that Zu Zhao's army had arrived, Zhao Ci was not panicked. He had already sent tens of millions of Yizhou troops to reinforce him, and he had united with the Yellow Turban Yu Party and attacked the counties in Liaodong at the same time, making Zu Zhao weak. At that time, Zu Zhao was attacked by the enemy on all sides. He would either withdraw his troops and return to the head of Liaodong County or attack Xinchang City. In any case, Zu Zhao had nothing to take advantage of, and it was he who ultimately benefited.

Ji Ling listened to Zhao Ci's plan and was deeply impressed. At the same time, he also said that Zhao Meng was the only one in Zu Zhao's army who could fight against him, and the rest of the generals could not take him for 50 rounds. Zhao Ci was overjoyed and rewarded Ji Ling. That night, he gave two beautiful women to sleep with him and two jars of wine to drink together.

Ji Ling drank wine, but didn't let the beautiful women sleep with them, but drove them away. Now that the two armies are fighting, he doesn't want to waste his physical energy on this beauty. When Zhao Ci saw that Ji Ling didn't want a beautiful woman, he laughed wildly and hugged the two beautiful women who were given to Ji Ling into his room to serve him.
