Yang Ling was stunned at first, then his spirits were lifted, and he said with a smile,

"Taishou, the time we have waited for has come!"

"Timing? What timing? ”

Cao Cao said with a blank expression.

"Taishou, do you know why I insisted on letting you come to Dongjun in the first place?"

Yang Ling asked with a smile.

"Isn't it because there is no other place to stay?"

Cao Cao asked suspiciously.

After the crusade against Dong Zhuo ended, most of the territory was occupied by other princes.

Cao Cao did not want to defect to others, and because of his weak strength, he could not compete with other princes for territory.

So the situation is very awkward.

Under the guidance of Yang Ling, Cao Cao passed the jade seal of the country and used Yuan Shao as a backer to forcibly occupy the eastern county without Taishou from Liu Dai.

"What Taishou said is only one of the factors, but in fact, I am also here for today."

Yang Ling's face was solemn, and he said slowly,

"I expected that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army would advance westward, so I chose Dongjun."

Although the previous series of deeds have already proved Yang Ling's ability!

But Cao Cao is still a little skeptical!

"How did the gentleman expect that?"

"Actually, it's very simple, it's analyzed."

Yang Ling smiled slightly,

"Please think about it carefully, the million Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou is not producing, and sooner or later they will have to sit and eat empty, where is their way out?"

Cao Cao fell into deep thought.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the rebels in the rest of the states were extinguished.

Only the Yellow Turban Army in Qing and Xu Prefecture survived tenaciously.

However, due to the vigorous attack of Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, the Yellow Turban Army in Xuzhou was forced to enter Qingzhou, and the men and horses of the two sides converged.

The Yellow Turban Army, which has a population of one million, does not produce, but only lives by looting, and soon faces a mountain of emptiness.

In desperation, the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army wanted to go north, but they were attacked by Gongsun Chan and returned in embarrassment.

There are Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north, Tao Qian in Xuzhou in the south, and Qingzhou in the east.

Under such circumstances, the Yellow Turban Army can only have a way to survive if it goes west and enters the rich Yanzhou!

"Sir is really resourceful!"

Cao Cao praised sincerely.

Yang Ling's ability to judge the situation really made Cao Cao admire!

"It's too much."

Yang Ling unceremoniously accepted his praise.

In fact, all these rhetoric are based on Yang Ling's understanding of history.

"The Yellow Turban Army is coming violently, if Liu Dai does not move and defends the city, when the Yellow Turban Army can't keep up, it will naturally be self-defeating."

Yang Ling continued to analyze and give Cao Cao an analysis.

But he changed his words and followed,

"But in my opinion, it is difficult for Liu Dai to stay still."

"Why is that?"

Cao Cao Qi said.

Anyone with a little wisdom should choose to avoid a fight in the face of a situation like a million yellow scarves.

Just like when Cao Cao dealt with the Black Mountain thieves before, he avoided its main force and went to raid its lair.

"It's very simple, because of the local scholars in Yanzhou!"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Ling's mouth,

"Don't forget that the situation in other counties in Yanzhou is completely different from that in Dongjun."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized!

When the Yellow Turban Army attacked, not only the people suffered, but also the interests of the scholars were greatly damaged.

After Cao Cao settled in Dongjun, he first made several noble families led by the Huang family strong and beheaded a full house.

Therefore, when the Black Mountain thieves attacked Dongjun, no matter how much their interests were damaged, the scholars did not dare to force Cao Cao to send troops.

But the situation in Yanzhou is different.

You must know that Liu Dai can be a stable assassin and maintain his rule, which is inseparable from the local scholars in Yanzhou.

Even if Liu Dai doesn't want to fight, those warriors who are unwilling to damage their interests will force him to go out of the city to fight!

"Liu Dai is just a wine bag and rice bucket, with his ability, it is impossible to deal with the Yellow Turban Army!"

"If he fails, what does Taishou think he will do?"

Yang Ling asked slowly.

"Of course, it's the rescuers."

Cao Cao didn't think about it, so he said.

"And where will he move the rescuers?"

"Well...... this"

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, and saw that Yang Ling's gaze had been staring at him.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he blurted out,

"Could it be me?"

"That's right!"

Yang Ling stroked his palms and laughed,

"Liu Dai's only choice is to find Taishou you!"

The rescuers that Liu Dai can invite are none other than Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan in the north, and Yuan Shu and Tao Qian in the south.

But they all eat people and don't spit out bones.

Once they are invited into Yanzhou, if they want to get out again, it will be troublesome!

Compared with Yuan Shao and others, Cao Cao is undoubtedly the wisest choice.

The previous defeat of the Black Mountain Thieves has proven his ability.

Besides, he is still Liu Dai's nominal subordinate, and his power is not strong, so Liu Dai doesn't have to worry too much.

"As long as Liu Dai asks Taishou to help, Taishou can take this opportunity to replace him!"

Yang Ling's eyes flickered, and he said unhurriedly.

In history, it was because Liu Dai took the initiative to attack and was killed by the Qingzhou Army.

The Yanzhou scholars were extremely panicked, so they embraced Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun at that time, as the state pastor, and Cao Cao officially became a prince!

Although Yang Ling is not sure, Liu Dai will still die.

But he can be sure that even if Liu Dai does not die, he will come to Dongjun to ask Cao Cao for help according to his expectations!

Cao Cao's breathing became heavy.

If it is really as Yang Ling analyzed, then he will be developed.

After all, Taishou is only in charge of a county, but the state pastor is in charge of a state!

Only by becoming a state pastor can Cao Cao be qualified to be compared with other princes!

Feeling Cao Cao's excitement, Yang Ling waved his hand and smiled,

"These are just the foolish opinions of subordinates, yes or no, and wait for the situation."

Yang Ling left a way out for himself in advance, and he didn't say it so deadly.

In case because of his own crossing, the butterfly's wings accidentally flickered, and as a result, Liu Dai defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban.

Then I will be slapped in the face.

"I have a lot of confidence in my husband!"

Cao Cao said solemnly.

Because all of Yang Ling's analysis is based on facts!

Reasonable, convincing!

……

Sure enough.

A few days later, news came.

Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, fought a fierce battle with the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army near Dongping.

In the end, the main force of Yanzhou was defeated, and Liu Dai died in the chaos!

In the lobby.

After learning that Liu Dai was killed in battle, the atmosphere in the lobby was extremely warm.

"It's really heaven to help the lord!"

Guo Jia hammered hands excitedly,

"As soon as Liu Dai dies like this, Yanzhou will be leaderless!"

"Those nobles and heroes, if you don't want other princes to enter Yanzhou, the only thing you can do is to ask the lord to come forward and face the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army!"

As he spoke, he looked at Cao Cao.

However, although Cao Cao was also full of smiles, he didn't mean to be too excited.

Guo Jia's heart moved, and he subconsciously said,

"Didn't the lord expect this in advance?"
