It wasn't until the figures of Mi Fang and Mi Zhen disappeared into the distance that Yang Ling reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

He noticed that Zhao Yun on the side couldn't help but laugh and tease,

"Big brother, Miss Mi is so beautiful, if you marry her back to us as a sister-in-law, it is quite suitable."

"Good boy, you dare to make fun of your eldest brother and me!"

Yang Ling glared at him angrily, turned around and walked towards the city.

Zhao Yunqiang held back a smile and hurriedly followed him.

When the two brothers returned to their residence, they found Dian Wei waiting in the hall.

Seeing Yang Ling and Zhao Yun coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward,

"Big brother, third brother!"

"What's the matter, second brother."

Yang Ling said strangely,

"Aren't you on duty today, why did you come back if you didn't stay by the state pastor's side?"

"Big brother, I have something to look for you."

Dian Wei sighed helplessly, and told Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai what they had just asked him for help.

Yang Ling's face darkened.

My good second brother, you really know how to find something for me, I really thank you!

As a modern person who has traveled through time, Yang Ling is naturally quite resistant to the slaughter of the city.

But he also knew very well in his heart that Xuzhou was strong and strong, and it was not easy to win it easily.

Cao Cao threatened to slaughter the city to intimidate the defenders of Xuzhou.

In addition, the massacre of the city was often accompanied by looting, which also encouraged his soldiers to fight bravely.

This is also the reason why Yang Ling did not choose to dissuade in the end.

But he didn't expect that Dian Wei would agree to Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai's request.

That's not a problem.

Boss Cao's father was killed, and he would be angry.

He begged him to let Mi Fang go just now, and he would have to persuade him not to slaughter the city.

Isn't this embarrassing for me to be a fat tiger?

Yang Ling touched his chin and frowned.

"Big brother, if you feel embarrassed, forget it, right?"

Dian Wei said cautiously.

"Well, since you have promised them, then I can only give it a try, big brother."

Yang Ling sighed, and finally decided to dissuade Boss Cao.

In any case, those people in Xuzhou are innocent!

He thought for a moment, and then instructed Zhao Yun to wait at home for the time being, and he took Dian Wei towards the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.

Cao Cao was busy with something, and when he saw Yang Ling coming, he showed a rare smile,

"Sir is here!"

It seems that the killing of Bian Rang today made him feel a lot happier.

"State Shepherd!"

Yang Ling bowed, and said with a solemn face,

"I came here this time to persuade the state pastor not to slaughter the city in Xuzhou."

Hearing this, the smile on Cao Cao's face disappeared instantly, and he said a little coldly,

"I thought you could understand me, sir, but I didn't expect you to be like everyone else!"

"Of course I understand the state pastor."

Yang Ling said slowly,

"But the reason why I persuaded the state pastor is for the sake of the great cause of the state pastor!"

"Oh?"

Cao Cao was a little interested, staring at Yang Lingdao,

"Tell me about it."

"The slaughter of the city by the state herdsman is ostensibly to vent his anger, but in fact it is to deter the defenders of Xuzhou and motivate his subordinates, right?"

Yang Ling asked.

"Yes, Sir still understands me."

Cao Cao's expression softened and nodded in response.

"But fighting a war is about the right time, the right place, and the right people."

"Now that we have just put down the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army, it is time to recuperate, and we are about to spring plough again, so we should not act rashly. Therefore, our army does not occupy the time. ”

"Tao Qian occupies Xuzhou and has been operating for a long time, and our army does not occupy a geographical advantage."

"If the governor slaughters the city again, he will lose even the people!"

"The state pastor attacked Xuzhou to avenge his father, which is a matter of course. If anyone else stops you, you can't justify it. ”

"But if the state pastor insists on going his own way and wants to wash Xuzhou in blood, it will give other forces the opportunity to stop you."

"If you think about it, isn't this the truth?"

Yang Ling's words made Cao Cao fall into deep thought.

He had to admit that what Yang Ling said was very reasonable.

Seeing that Cao Cao's expression was not as resistant as just now, Yang Ling continued,

"The state pastor attacked Xuzhou, not only to avenge his father, but also to take Xuzhou, right?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

In front of Yang Ling, Cao Cao didn't bother to disguise, and nodded generously in acknowledgement.

"After the state pastor takes Xuzhou, those people will be your people."

"Isn't the slaughter of the city by the state pastor now equivalent to slaughtering the people under his rule?"

"Moreover, in this way, it will also make the people of Xuzhou resist and rebel against the state pastor, which is not conducive to the future rule of the lord."

Having said this, Cao Cao's complexion changed slightly, and he was no longer so resolute.

"If they resist, kill them!"

He snorted.

Yang Ling obviously heard that Cao Cao's tone was a little angry, and he couldn't help laughing in his heart.

But the surface is still a positive color channel,

"Please also ask the state pastor to be sensible. Moreover, the state pastor killed Bian Rang this time, and Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others were also quite dissatisfied with the state pastor. I'm afraid that they will also take the opportunity to make waves! ”

Thinking of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong's attitudes when they just left, Cao Cao's heart tightened.

He didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly said seriously,

"What should I do according to Mr. Sir?"

Yang Ling touched his chin and thought for a moment before he said slowly,

"The state pastor can first send people to publicize in Xuzhou and tell the local people that you are only here to avenge your father."

"Whoever surrenders voluntarily will never hurt them in the slightest."

"If you resist stubbornly, you will slaughter the city after taking it."

Cao Cao nodded,

"Okay, just do as you say."

But then he hesitated,

"Then how to beware of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong?"

Yang Ling thought for a moment and said slowly,

"After the Yellow Turban Army was raging and Liu Dai was killed in battle, except for Zhang Miao, who was the Taishou of Chenliu County, there were not many people in the Yanzhou Shi clan."

"If they want to make a small move, they are likely to go out and rescue the soldiers."

"The only people closest to Chenliu County are Zhang Yang and Lu Bu from Hanoi County."

"In my opinion, there is a high probability that they will contact Lu Bu."

In the past two years, Situ Wang Lang has divided the relationship between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo through the beauty scheme.

After Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, before he could control the situation, he was driven out of Chang'an City by Li Dao and Guo Yan.

He defected to Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao successively, but they were all driven away because of his arrogant character.

In desperation, Lü Bu had to temporarily live in Hanoi County.

"The lord can send a general to guard Yanzhou, and secretly leave a team of men and horses to deal with it."

Yang Ling suggested.

"Who does the gentleman think is better to keep?"

"General Miaocai."

Yang Ling didn't want to say anything.

Xiahoudun has a very high prestige in the army, and he is cautious, so it is most suitable for him to guard Yanzhou.

"It's okay, Miaocai just knows the identity of Mr., so he will leave him in Yanzhou and listen to Mr.'s orders."

Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully.
