After arriving at the city of Hefei, Ji Ling stepped forward immediately, and after communicating with the main general guarding the city, they opened the city gate and chose to surrender.

Yang Ling and his entourage successfully entered Hefei.

After inspecting the situation in the city, Yang Ling stretched comfortably in the county government hall.

Taking Hefei today is equivalent to the complete end of the war in Huainan.

After Cao Cao sent someone over to take over the territory, he could also return to Xudu with Cao Ang.

Before setting out on the expedition, Yang Ling thought that he would fight for a year and a half, but he didn't expect Yuan Shu to be so vulnerable.

Just as he was about to lie down and rest, he saw Zhao Yun walking in with a serious face.

"Big brother, there is a situation!"

"What's wrong?"

"The spies we sent out report that a group of people is rushing towards this side under the banner of Huiji Taishou!"

Yang Ling's heart moved.

Will be too shou, isn't that Sun Ce?

Sure enough, just as he thought, Sun Ce also realized the importance of Hefei and sent troops over.

He groaned slightly, and then said,

"Go and call Ji Ling and Wen Yuan!"

"Whoa!"

Zhao Yun took the order and left.

It didn't take long for Zhang Liao and Ji Ling to receive the news and rushed over.

Yang Ling told the two of them about Sun Ce's troops coming to Hefei.

The two of them were shocked when they heard this, and secretly admired Yang Linglai.

Fortunately, he asked to hurry overnight, so he didn't delay and entered Hefei City before Sun Ce.

"General Zilong, how many soldiers and horses did Sun Ce come?"

Zhang Liao asked in a deep voice.

"At least, there are 30,000!"

"Thirty thousand?"

Ji Ling lost his voice.

You must know that when he came to Hefei this time, Yang Ling only brought a thousand fine horses.

Even if you bring the soldiers and horses that originally belonged to Yuan Shu in the city, it will only be 3,000 people.

Coupled with the narrow city of Hefei Road, how is it the opponent of Sun Ce's army?

"Strategist, the wisest thing now is to take the best policy."

Zhang Liao suggested softly.

Hefei was not originally a high city, and the city walls were in disrepair.

Those soldiers and horses that originally belonged to Yuan Shu naturally couldn't be counted on.

In order to seize Hefei City, Yang Ling only brought a thousand cavalry, three-eyed guns or something, but he didn't bring them at all.

If you want to hold Hefei, it can be said that it is quite difficult.

There is no need for Zhang Liao, Yang Ling also understands this truth.

It's just that it's easy to give up Hefei, and if you want to get it back in the future, then it's troublesome!

You must know that in history, Sun Shiwan's six expeditions to Hefei in his life ended in failure.

"Hefei must not give up, we have to think of another way."

Yang Ling shook his head and said in a low voice,

"I have a plan......

He said his thoughts, fifteen and ten.

When the other three heard this, their faces were a little hesitant.

"Strategist, this plan is a bit too risky."

"Of course I do, but I have to take the risk!"

Yang Ling is categorical.

He has always given advice to Cao Cao, and this time he even went out in person, for something, not just hoping for early unification.

The world is peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they can enjoy glory and wealth.

If you give up Hefei today and give it to Sun Ce, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles!

"This battle will depend on Zilong, Wen Yuan, and the two of you!"

Yang Ling said in a deep voice.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao glanced at each other and said in unison,

"Please rest assured! We deserve to fight to the death! ”

……

Ten miles outside the city of Hefei.

The mighty Jiangdong people are rushing in the direction of Hefei City.

At this moment, a scout rode back from the front,

"Second son, there is news in Hefei City!"

A young man with big mouths and blue eyes and purple hair slowly came out of the horse.

Yes, he is Sun Jian's second son Sun Quan!

"Stop!"

As soon as Sun Quan gave the order, the 30,000-strong army immediately stopped and waited in place.

"What's going on in the city of Hefei?"

"Back to the second son, Cao Jun has already occupied Hefei early this morning!"

"What? Or is it a step too late? ”

Sun Quan looked at the direction of Hefei City, his face was quite unwilling!

When Cao Cao sent an army to attack Yuan Shu, the Jiangdong side had been holding its ground.

They originally planned to wait for the two sides to lose the battle, and then another fisherman would make a profit.

It's just that Sun Ce and the others never expected that Yuan Shu would be so wasteful and Cao Jun would be so strong.

In less than a month, Yuan Shu's power collapsed!

After learning the news, Sun Ce ignored the fact that he had just pacified Danyang and Yuzhang Counties, and immediately ordered 30,000 horses and handed them over to his younger brother Sun Quan and Ling Cao, the captain of the school.

Let the two of them lead the soldiers and horses to Jiujiang County, intending to take Hefei City.

But they didn't expect Sun Quan and Ling Cao to hurry up all the way, but they still failed to occupy Hefei before Cao Jun.

"Second son, since Hefei has been captured by the Cao army, we might as well withdraw, right?"

Ling Cao proposed.

Before they came, Sun Ce had told them that if they failed to capture Hefei, they would not clash with Cao's army again.

But Sun Quan didn't seem to hear it, looked at the scout and asked,

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Hefei City now?"

"Returning to the second son, Yuan Shu sent a total of 2,000 men and horses to garrison the city before, and this time the Cao army came with another 1,000 men and horses, and it is said that the person who is the leader is the military advisor Yang Ling."

"In other words, there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city?"

As soon as he heard this, Sun Quan's eyes flashed, and his expression became excited.

Seeing that he was moved, Ling Cao hurriedly persuaded him,

"Second son, Yang Ling can be Cao Jun's military advisor and defeat Yuan Shu in a short period of time, he is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Oh, if he really wasn't an ordinary person, how could he be unknown before? But there are no heroes at the time, and it just makes the shaft famous! ”

Sun Quan smiled disappreciatively.

In his opinion, it was nothing more than that Yuan Shu was too wasteful, not that Yang Ling was too strong.

If you change to him, you can easily win Yuan Shu!

"Besides, no matter how strong he is, in the final analysis, there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and we have 30,000, so I am afraid that he will not succeed?"

"This ......"

Ling Cao's face was a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Sun Quan struck the iron tunnel while it was hot,

"Captain Ling, how important Hefei is, I don't need to say more, right? If you can take Hefei, my brother will definitely reward you heavily! ”

"There are only 3,000 people in the city today, which is a godsend!"

"If you don't take it today, Cao Cao will send a large army to garrison it in the future, then it will be troublesome!"

Ling Cao was a little moved by what he said.

Oh, yes.

No matter how strong Yang Ling is, he only has three thousand soldiers and horses.

His own army is ten times larger than him, and Hefei is a small city, wouldn't it be easy to conquer?

Even if you can't take it, it's a big deal to retreat!

Could it be that Cao Jun still dares to pursue?

Thinking of this, Ling Cao nodded,

"Okay, the last general will do everything according to Childe's orders!"

Sun Quan was immediately overjoyed and commanded,

"Keep marching!"

The Jiangdong army continued to march towards Hefei City.

Ten miles away, in a blink of an eye.

However, when Sun Quan, Ling Cao and others rushed to Hefei City, they were confused by the situation in front of them.
