That night, Yang Ling sent someone to clean up the side room and let Mi Zhen live for the time being.

Early the next morning.

After a night of thinking, Yang Ling already had an idea in his heart.

After breakfast, he left for the governor's house.

The people in the house are all dressed in white cloth.

Although Cao Song's body has not yet been recovered, the hall has already been decorated with his clothes in the lobby.

Cao Cao's face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn't rested all night.

"Sir's coming."

He nodded slightly at Yang Ling.

Yang Ling returned the salute, feeling a little embarrassed.

Boss Cao's father had just died, and he came to beg him because of the Mi family, which was really unreasonable.

Seeing Yang Ling's hesitant look, Cao Cao smiled reluctantly,

"Is there something wrong with the gentleman?"

"State pastor, don't hide it, my subordinates came today to intercede for Mi Fang."

Yang Ling decided to be honest.

After all, Boss Cao is suspicious by nature, and if you hide it from him, he doesn't know it's okay.

Once you let him know the truth, it's troublesome.

So Yang Ling told Cao Cao about Mi Fang and Mi Zhen finding themselves to cooperate with Moutai Liquor.

Cao Cao's expression did not change in the slightest after listening, and he said noncommittally,

"Now I am about to go to war with Tao Qian's thief, and the Mi family is a well-known local family in Xuzhou. Please also tell me, why did I release Mi Fang? ”

"The reason is simple."

Yang Ling calmed down and said slowly,

"The backbone of the Mi family is Tao Qian's other driver, that is, Mi Fang's brother Mi Zhu."

"No matter if the state pastor kills Mi Fang or leaves him behind, it will have no impact on the war situation."

"Instead of this, it's better to let Mi Fang go with great fanfare."

"In this way, when Tao Qian gets the news, maybe he will be suspicious of the Mi family in his heart."

Cao Cao didn't speak, his face sank like water, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Well, none of these ancients were fuel-efficient lamps.

Yang Ling could only bite the bullet and say,

"In addition, the subordinates are also for their own private affairs."

"Private?"

Cao Cao looked at Yang Ling with some surprise,

"What's the matter?"

Yang Ling deliberately looked embarrassed and said with a dry smile,

"I ...... Mi Fang's sister In fact...... Well, Governor, you know. ”

"I see! There's no need to be embarrassed, sir, everyone is a man. ”

Cao Cao suddenly realized, winked at Yang Ling, and showed a smile that I understand you!

"State pastor, the matter of Mi Fang ......"

Yang Ling wanted to speak and stopped.

Cao Cao touched his chin and fell into thought.

Not long after Mi Fang was arrested and imprisoned, Cao Cao learned his identity and the purpose of his trip to Yanzhou.

He had even guessed that Mi Fang's sister Mi Zhen was in Yang Ling's mansion.

But the reason why he didn't send someone to search was to see what Yang Ling would do next.

Cao Cao doesn't care about a Mi Fang or Mi Zhen, he cares more about whether Yang Ling is loyal to him!

So today, Yang Ling took the initiative to come to the door and tell him frankly, which made Cao Cao very pleased!

And it is true that as Yang Ling said, it is useless for Mi Fang to stay in Yanzhou.

In this case, you might as well be a favor and let Mi Fang go.

"Sir has helped me a lot, how can I refuse to speak today?"

Cao Cao suddenly smiled,

"Then listen to you and let Mi Fang go!"

"Thank you, Governor!"

When Yang Ling heard this, he happily gave it up.

The two exchanged pleasantries again, and Yang Ling got up and left.

As soon as he walked on the front foot, Dian Wei walked into the lobby with the back foot,

"According to the orders of the lord, everyone has been gathered."

"Got it."

Cao Cao nodded and led Dian Wei to another lobby.

The hall was crowded.

Not only Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xiahoudun and others were present, but also Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and other local officials in Yanzhou.

Seeing Cao Cao walk in, everyone said in unison,

"I've seen the state pastor."

Cao Cao nodded to everyone expressionlessly, walked straight to the hall, and asked,

"Fengxiao, how is the army?"

"Back to the lord, most of the men and horses have been assembled, and the troops can be sent tomorrow morning at the latest."

Guo Jiagong said.

"That's good."

Cao Cao showed a satisfied smile at this time, and then looked at everyone with cold eyes, and said hatefully,

"This expedition to Xuzhou, I want Tao Qian to pay for his blood debts!"

"Yuan Jean! Mancheng! Wen Qian! ”

Xiahoudun, Li Dian, and Le Jin came out of the crowd and responded in unison,

"The end will be."

"The three of you are the vanguard of our army, but if you capture the city, you will slaughter the city!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

No one expected that Cao Cao would be so angry that he would not even let go of the people of Xuzhou!

"Lord, this matter is the ...... of Xuzhou"

Xun Yu opened his mouth, and before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Cao Cao.

"I have made up my mind on this matter, and no one can persuade me!"

Xun Yu was a little unwilling, and wanted to say something, but was pulled by Guo Jia on the side.

He looked at Guo Jia.

I saw Guo Jia wink at him and said in a low voice,

"The lord is angry at this time, don't say more."

Xun Yu was helpless, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

But the Yanzhou scholars on the side took this opportunity to jump out.

"The state shepherd is angry."

But it was Chen Gong who stood up and arched his hand,

"Whether Ling Zun was killed at the instigation of Tao Qian or his subordinates' wanton behavior, there is still no definite reason. No matter who did it, it has nothing to do with the people of Xuzhou. I also hope that the state pastor will think twice. ”

Cao Cao's forehead was bruised, and he said angrily,

"Didn't you hear what I just said?"

"Cao Apu! You've gone too far! ”

At this time, the middle-aged literati on the side suddenly stood up.

He is none other than Celebrity Bianrang.

As soon as he saw Bian Rang, Cao Cao remembered that he had ridiculed himself in private, and his face became more and more gloomy.

"Bian Wenli, what do you want to say?"

"You are just a eunuch, if it weren't for the help of our Yanzhou family, how would you become a state pastor?"

Bian Rang scolded sharply,

"But you don't want to develop steadily, and you have to work hard and lose money to attack Xuzhou, which is really presumptuous!"

His sentence "After the eunuch" instantly poked Cao Cao's sore spot!

Cao Cao only felt that the blood was surging above his head, and he couldn't wait to slash Bian Rang with a knife!

He held back the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said,

"Bian Wenli, I see that you have some talent, don't force me to kill you!"

Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others on the side also hurriedly pulled Bian Rang.

But Bian Rang flicked his sleeves and said arrogantly,

"You have what it takes to kill me!"

Cao Cao trembled with anger, and suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Yang Ling earlier.

Since Bian Rang is killing himself, he might as well follow Yang Ling's suggestion and kill this person!

His heart was crossed, and his eyes were fierce,

"Dian Wei!"

"The last general!"

Dian Wei stepped forward and replied in a deep voice.

"Kill him for me!"
