"Although as Mr. Fengxiao and Gongda (Xun Youzi) said, half of Yuan Jun's grain and grass were burned, Yuan Shaoding was extremely painful."

"But he dispatched nearly 200,000 troops, and it was impossible for him to suffer such a setback, so he withdrew his troops."

"As far as I can see, the purpose of Yuan Shao's retreat is very simple."

"First, I hope to lure us out of the city and take the initiative to fight them."

"The second is to avoid stretching the supply line and waiting for the grain and grass to arrive."

"Since this is the case, then we must not be able to take the initiative as Yuan Shao wishes!"

Originally, after listening to Yang Ling's previous analysis, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

But his last sentence made everyone confused.

"Ziyi, since it can't be as Yuan Shao wants, why do we have to take the initiative again?"

Cao Cao was also confused.

"The prime minister misunderstood, I'm not talking about going north to pursue Yuan Shao, but here!"

Yang Ling's voice landed, and his hand was already pointing to the sand table.

Cao Cao looked at it, and blurted out,

"Hanoi?"

"Yes, it's Hanoi!"

Yang Ling smiled confidently,

"Yuan Shao focused most of his energy on Guandu."

"We can divide a group of elite troops, force the Yellow River, and attack Hanoi County."

"As long as you take Hanoi County, you can threaten Yecheng."

"At that time, the initiative on the battlefield will be in our hands!"

Xun You's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but praise,

"Mr. Ziyi is really brilliant, this is really a wonderful move!"

Guo Jia also sighed,

"If Yuan Shao divides his troops to rescue, the prime minister can wave his army north and pursue him."

"If he refuses to divide his troops, then that group of men and horses can take advantage of the situation to march towards Yecheng and threaten Yuan Shao's rear!"

"Mr. Ziyi's methods are so good!"

Just when Guo Jia, Xun You and others were only looking at the land of Guandu, Yang Ling had already looked at the entire north.

How can this pattern and vision not make everyone admire and sigh?

Cao Cao is also a man of great talent, and after hearing Yang Ling's proposal, he was also overjoyed!

He looked at Yang Ling with a smile,

"Yi Ziyi, you see, who is more appropriate to send to attack Hanoi County this time?"

Yang Ling couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Boss Cao, you don't know why you ask.

In the entire Cao camp, is there a more suitable candidate than me?

"My subordinates are willing to be prime ministers and take this trip in person!"

"That's great!"

Cao Cao said with great joy,

"In that case, then I will give you thirty thousand...... No, an army of fifty thousand! ”

The Cao army stationed in Guandu only had more than 100,000 in total.

Although he didn't need so many soldiers and horses to defend the city, Cao Cao allocated half of it to Yang Ling, which shows his trust in Yang Ling!

Yang Ling was a little moved in his heart, but he still shook his head.

"The prime minister doesn't have to, the soldiers are expensive but not much more expensive."

"If there are too many soldiers and horses, I'm afraid that Yuan Shao's side will get the news in advance."

"Besides, if Guandu is empty, and Yuan Shao leads his troops to fight back again, it will be troublesome."

Cao Cao thought about it, so he asked,

"And how many men are you going to have?"

"Five thousand is enough!"

"Five thousand? Wouldn't that be too little. You must know that it is Zhang Yang who is stationed in Hanoi County. ”

Cao Cao reminded.

According to the original historical process, when Cao Cao attacked Lü Bu, Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Hanoi County, who had been friends with Lü Bu, would send troops to Dongshi to echo it.

His subordinate Yang Chou killed Zhang Yang in order to defect to Cao Cao.

It's just that before he had time to defect to Cao Cao, he was killed by his subordinates.

However, due to the emergence of Yang Ling, history has fluctuated.

Zhang Yang did not send troops to support Lu Bu, but after Lu Bu's death, he weighed again and again and went directly to Yuan Shao.

Now he obeyed Yuan Shao's orders to build a defensive line on the north bank of the Yellow River in Hanoi County, with the purpose of preventing Cao's army from crossing the river.

"Even Fu Zhu, Guo Tu and others are not my opponents, what can a mere Zhang Yang do to me?"

Yang Ling smiled confidently.

"Good! In that case, the military is up to you. In addition, if you have any other needs, just say them! ”

Cao Cao promised.

Yang Ling was naturally not polite, and asked for Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Gao Shun by name.

As for the black powder, Lingyue crossbow and other weapons, the more the merrier!

……

It's night.

Cao Ang took Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu and others to Yang Ling's camp to see him off.

"I hope that the teacher will go to Hanoi County this time and return triumphantly!"

Cao Ang smiled and picked up the wine glass in his hand.

After Yang Ling drank it all, everyone also drank their wine glasses one after another.

At this moment, Cao Ang's face suddenly changed, and he turned his head and coughed violently.

When Yang Ling saw this, he said with concern,

"What's wrong with the son? If you can't drink enough, drink a few glasses. ”

Cao Ang waved his hand and pretended to be relaxed,

"In the past few days, I don't know if it's because of the occasional cold, my appetite is a little lost, and I often vomit."

"Have you ever gone to see the military doctor?"

Yang Ling hurriedly asked.

"Yes, but they can't tell why."

Cao Ang shook his head and smiled,

"Teachers don't have to be nervous. When this was done and I returned to Xudu, I personally went to visit Mr. Zhongjing and asked him to treat me for the disease. ”

Only then did Yang Ling put his mind at ease.

Zhang Ji's medical skills are superb, and there is only Hua Tuo who can compare with him in the world.

With him, he will treat Cao Ang's illness, and he will also get rid of the disease if he thinks about it.

"Anyway, I've known the teacher for so long, and I still don't know how much the teacher drinks?"

Cao Ang diverted the topic and asked with a smile.

Yang Ling smiled without saying a word, and only stretched out one finger.

"A jar of Moutai wine?"

Cao Ang tentatively authenticated.

Yang Ling shook his head.

"Could it be the Ten Altars?"

Cao Ang was taken aback.

Yang Ling still shook his head.

Dian Wei on the side laughed and said,

"Childe doesn't know, my eldest brother means, drink all the time!"

Cao Ang: "......"

The crowd's drinking did not end until late at night.

But fortunately, Yang Ling was equipped with qi refining techniques, and he woke up before the sky was bright.

Under Guo Zhao's service, he was fully dressed.

While the sky was still dark, Yang Ling took Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, and five thousand Cao soldiers and soldiers to leave Guandu quietly.

In order to prevent leakage of information, they avoided official roads along the way and took small roads.

After two days of traveling, Yang Ling and his party came to the south bank of the Yellow River.

"Big brother, after crossing the Yellow River and going north, twenty miles away, it is Huai County, the seat of Hanoi County."

Zhao Yun pointed to the other side of the river and introduced.

Yang Ling raised his eyes, although he couldn't see the city wall of Huai County, he could faintly see that there were many troops stationed on the other side of the river.

"Let's find a way to cross the river."

Yang Ling touched his chin and groaned.

They only had 5,000 men and horses, and if they wanted to force their way across the Yellow River, that opportunity was impossible.

"It's better to send someone to investigate around first to see if there are any loopholes."

Zhao Yun proposed.
