Chapter 185: Rushing to Hefei City
At this moment, suddenly a hurried voice came from outside,
"Report to the general, a battle report from Huainan!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned.
Cao Cao jumped up, walked quickly to the door, and took the letter from the soldier in charge of delivering the letter.
After he finished reading it, he was dumbfounded, and the whole person was stunned.
Seeing this situation, a common thought emerged in the hearts of everyone in the hall, could it be that Yang Ling and Cao Ang were defeated?
Otherwise, why would the lord have such an expression?
Liu Ye looked at Jia Xu with some demonstrativeness, revealing a disapproving sneer.
Jia Xu's brows furrowed slightly.
No, with Yang Ling's ability, how could he be defeated?
Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai also have some similar doubts in their hearts.
Seeing that Cao Cao had no words for a long time, Xun Yu couldn't help but take a step forward,
"Lord, but what happened to Huainan?"
Cao Cao came back to his senses at this time, and the look of surprise on his face was quickly replaced by joy.
"Haha, you don't know anything, Mr. Yang and Zixuan are in Huainan, but they have achieved a great victory!"
What, Yang Ling and they actually achieved a great victory?
The smile on Liu Ye's face suddenly froze!
Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right, what kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp are Yuan Shu's group of people, how can they be Yang Ling's opponents?
"Lord, since you are a military advisor and a son, why did you have that expression just now?"
Cheng Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Because of what they have achieved...... It's so brilliant! ”
Rao is Cao Cao is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and he can't help but sigh.
Everyone became more and more curious when they heard this, and Cao Cao handed them the battle report in his hand.
When it came to the rotation and reading, everyone was shocked.
It was only less than a month before Yang Ling destroyed Yuan Shu?
Shouchun City, which has been operated by Yuan Shu for several years and is extremely strong, was captured in one day?
Especially Lu Bu, who is known for his bravery, was killed by Yang Ling without insisting for a round.
This Yang Ling is simply a monster!
It's no wonder that Cao Cao was so shocked, everyone was speechless after watching it, and their faces were quite strange.
"This battle not only pacified Huainan, but also proved Yang Ling's ability, which can be described as a double happiness. Congratulations, congratulations! ”
Guo Jia said with a smile.
Cao Cao smiled slightly, but he didn't say anything, and his heart was even more beautiful.
At the beginning, when he tried his best to override public opinion and let Yang Ling become a military advisor, I don't know how many people objected.
Like Liu Ye and others' private discussions and dissatisfaction, he is naturally clear.
Now that Yang Ling has won a great victory, let's see what else you have to say.
"When Gongzi and Yang Junshi come back, I will definitely reward them well."
Xun Yu suggested.
"That's natural!"
Cao Cao made up his mind, and when Yang Ling came back, he immediately held a wedding for him and Cao Qing.
……
Although Shouchun City has been captured, Yuan Shu, the dry bones in the mound, also died by self-immolation.
But the war is not over.
After all, Yuan Shu's other forces are still entrenched in other areas of Huainan.
Fortunately, Zhang Xun and Ji Ling surrendered, and with their relationship, Yang Ling also sent people to persuade him to surrender.
In less than half a month, most of Huainan was also occupied by Cao's army.
Huainan.
Outside Chengde County.
Yang Ling was in the barracks, listening to the news from the heralds,
“…… Gongzi has occupied Yicheng, Zhongli and other county towns northeast of Shouchun, and General Zhang Xiu is going south to subdue Yinling, Dongcheng and other cities......"
"Got it, you go down first."
Yang Ling waved his hand.
After waiting for the herald to leave, Ji Ling on the side smiled flatteringly,
"There is really no need for the military advisor to go in person this time, there is only a Hefei City, and we will definitely take it when we go forward."
Yang Ling smiled and said lightly,
"Hefei is geographically important, so it is necessary for me to go there in person."
Hefei controls the throat of Jianghuai, which is really an important place for soldiers.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei and Wu surrounded Hefei and broke out ten wars!
As long as Hefei is occupied, it will not only cut off the Sun family's thoughts of going south, but also prepare for the later attack on Jiangdong.
It was precisely because this place was too dangerous that Yang Ling would personally lead a team of people to Hefei.
Speaking of the Sun family, Yang Ling's heart moved, and he said to Zhao Yun on the side,
"Find out the information about Sun Ce's movements."
Zhao Yun immediately flipped through the official documents, and in a short time, he sorted out a stack of information about Jiangdong.
After Yang Ling took the first step to take the jade seal of the country, Sun Jian avoided dying from the fate of ten thousand arrows.
He couldn't get used to Yuan Shu's arrogance and lust, so he used the excuse of attacking Liu Xuan, the then assassin of Yangzhou, and took his soldiers and horses away.
After a year of hard fighting, Sun Jian successfully defeated Liu Jian and took Wu Jun for himself.
However, at this time, he suddenly fell seriously ill and finally died.
After his son Sun Ce succeeded to his throne, he showed great ability.
He not only kept Wu County in good order, but also went south to attack Huiji County.
Not long ago, taking advantage of the decline of Yuan Shu, Sun Ce led his army westward and occupied Yuzhang and Danyang counties successively.
After reading all the information, Yang Ling couldn't help but nod slightly.
It's really a tiger father without a dog.
This Sun Ce is as good as recorded in history.
In this case, he should also know the importance of Hefei.
I can't afford to delay any longer.
Thinking of this, Yang Ling rushed to Zhao Yundao,
"Zilong, order the soldiers, immediately pull out the camp and go to Hefei City!"
Hearing this, Ji Ling was taken aback.
"Strategist, it's getting dark, we've just set up camp......"
"Are you questioning my decision?"
Yang Ling glared at him.
"The last general will not dare!"
Ji Ling was startled and hurriedly bowed.
With Yang Ling's order, Cao's army, which had just set up camp, immediately moved into action and marched to Hefei in the night.
Finally, after dawn, they finally arrived outside the city of Hefei.
Seeing the banner with the word "Yuan" still hanging on the city wall, Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned his head to look at the soldier who was a little tired, but he didn't complain, and said with a smile,
"You and the others speed up their pace, and after entering Hefei City, they will rest again!"
He paused, then looked at Zhang Liao on the side,
"How does General Wen Yuan feel?"
Zhang Liao is not an ancient person, with Yang Ling treating him politely, and Gao Shun has always been kind to persuade him, he finally chose to surrender.
This time he went to Hefei, Yang Ling specially took him, and the purpose was very simple.
After all, Hefei can be counted as half of Zhang Liao's home field!
If there is really anything, let him be on top,
"If you're in good spirits, you can still fight the enemy for another 800 rounds!"
Zhang Liao said in a deep voice.
"That's good!"
Yang Ling laughed and nodded.
The person responsible for guarding Hefei City is Ji Ling's old subordinate.
This is also why Yang Ling brought him.
