Not to mention that this attack on Yuan Xi was to brush up on Cao Pi and his henchmen.

Just because Yang Ling and Cao Pi disagreed, he shouldn't be taken with him.

Faced with Wu Qian's question, Cao Pi laughed and said to Sima Yi,

"Zhongda, this is your idea, or you should explain it to Ji Zhong (Wu Zhizihao)."

"Was it your idea?"

Wu Zhen was stunned again.

"Not bad."

Sima Yi Shi Ran smiled and asked rhetorically,

"Ji Chong, let me ask you, what do you think of Yang Ling?"

Wu Zhen didn't want to think about it, so he said,

"Talented, strategic, and like a god!"

"Although Yuan Xi is not a concern, after all, he is in charge of a state."

"There is a way that is a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff."

"If you want to take him down, it will take a lot of effort."

"Since you also know that Yang Ling's strategy is amazing and he uses soldiers like a god, why don't you let him deal with Yuan Xi?"

Sima Yi said with a smile.

"But let him deal with Yuan Xi, won't all the credit fall on him?"

Wu Zhen was puzzled.

"Ji Chong's words are wrong, when he recovered Wancheng and Huainan, not all the credit was on his head."

Sima Yi smiled meaningfully.

During the Battle of Wancheng and the Battle of Huainan that year, everyone in the court knew that it was Yang Ling's first work.

But when the reward was awarded, Cao Ang was still the first credit.

Without him, after all, the leader is Cao Ang, and Yang Ling is just an assistant.

Now Cao Pi and Sima Yi also have the same thoughts.

No matter how well Yang Ling fights, what can he do, it is Cao Pi who commands the whole army.

When he writes an official document to Cao Cao, he can even the credit on himself.

"I see!"

Wu Zhen suddenly realized.

"I plan to let Yang Ling be fully responsible, once the battle is lost, I can also put the responsibility on Yang Ling, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!"

Cao Pi smiled gloomily.

"That's a brilliant plan!"

Chen Qun couldn't help but praise.

……

The other side.

Yang Ling Mansion.

"This Cao Pi, what kind of heart is An?"

Zhou Cang muttered dissatisfiedly.

After knowing that Yang Ling was going to be a strategist and attack Youzhou with Cao Pi, Xu Chu, Gan Ning, Zhao Yun and others all gathered in Yang's mansion.

"One thing is for sure, he's definitely not at ease!"

Gan Ning is definitely authentic.

"I see what he means."

Yang Ling smiled and slowly said the same remarks as Cao Pi.

"Okay, Cao Pi, he actually had such an idea!"

Xu Chu said angrily,

"Doesn't this make it clear that the eldest brother will be sent to death, and he will be promoted!"

"That's it, Brother Ziyi, why don't you ask the prime minister for illness."

Gan Ning interjected on the side.

"How does this work?"

Yang Ling shook his head.

At this juncture, I went to ask Cao Cao for illness, making it clear that I didn't want to go to Youzhou with Cao Pi.

No matter what grievances Yang Ling and Cao Pi have, they must endure it.

After all, Cao Pi is the son of Cao Cao who was personally selected, and if he can't get along with him, it is equivalent to getting along with Cao Cao!

Looking at the brothers who were fighting for themselves, Yang Ling just smiled,

"Don't worry, I already have a plan in mind."

Seeing him so confident, the people who had always believed in him no longer said anything, and got up and retreated.

After everyone left, Cao Qing walked out slowly with Guo Zhao, Mi Zhen and the other girls.

"Husband, if it really doesn't work, how about letting Sister Qing go to see Zihuan Gongzi and resolve the grievances between you?"

Mi Zhen said worriedly.

"Not necessarily."

Yang Ling held her soft wattle and shook her head gently,

"You ask your sister, with her understanding of Zihuan, can the grievances between us be resolved?"

Cao Qing's beautiful face showed a wry smile.

Among the brothers and sisters, the ones with the best relationship with her are Cao Ang and Cao Pi.

She knows her brother's character very well, he is a typical cautious eye, and she likes to settle accounts after the autumn very much!

"In that case, why does the husband insist on going to Youzhou?"

Mi Zhen was puzzled.

"Actually, that's not a bad thing."

Yang Ling smiled and explained to Cao Qing and the others,

"If Yuan Xi is really destroyed, no matter how much the prime minister rewards Zihuan, people in the world are not fools."

"Especially the ministers in the court, and the generals in the army."

"Who has made the greatest contributions, they will naturally have a final judgment in their hearts."

"In the future, even if Zihuan inherits the position of prime minister, if he wants to do something to his husband, he must weigh it."

Cao Qing and the girls thought about it carefully, but it was also the same reason.

Even if there is no trip to Youzhou, with Yang Ling's current merits and prestige, let alone Cao Pi, even if Cao Cao wants to move him, he has to think twice.

"I hope that everything will go well in Youzhou this time!"

Cao Qing's worried look was beyond words.

"Don't worry, Yuan Xi and the others are just the ones who sell the first bid!"

Yang Ling laughed arrogantly.

……

As Cao Cao's decree was transmitted, the army immediately went into action.

In just half a month, Xu Du gathered nearly 100,000 troops.

“…… This time on the expedition to Youzhou, the Son of Heaven and the king are all looking forward to your triumphant return! ”

With Cao Cao's impassioned speech, the mighty army left the city of Xu and headed straight to the north.

……

After half a month's march, Yang Ling and Cao Pi and his party have already arrived in the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom.

"Shizi, it's getting dark, do we want to set up camp?"

Cao Xiu stepped forward and asked Cao Pi for instructions.

In addition to Zhang Liao, Yu Ban, Gao Shun and other generals who can fight well, Cao Cao specially sent Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Xiahou Shang and other second-generation children of the Cao family.

The first is to let them accumulate military merits and increase experience.

Second, he also wanted them to have a good relationship with Cao Pi and prepare for Cao Pi to take power in the future.

Cao Pi glanced at the sky, and did not rush to answer, but looked at Yang Ling with a smile,

"Strategist, do you think you want to set up camp?"

His attitude was extremely sincere, acting as if everything was at Yang Ling's orders!

Yang Ling sneered in his heart.

This Cao Pi really regarded Sima Yi as a confidant and strategist, but he was really able to endure it.

"You might as well listen to Wen Lie, let's set up camp."

Yang Ling also nodded with a smile.

So they found a suitable place and set up camp in their place.

After dinner, Cao Pi called Yang Ling and others to the camp of the Chinese army to discuss the military together.

"After passing the Zhongshan Kingdom, I entered Fanyang County in Youzhou. I don't know if you have any suggestions? ”

Cao Pi said this, but his eyes glanced at Yang Ling.

Yang Ling didn't see it, his brows furrowed, staring at the sand table on the table.

Seeing that he was silent, Cao Pi was helpless, so he had to glance at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi understood, stepped forward, and said with a smile,

"If you enter Youzhou, you will definitely be resisted by Yuan Jun. If you lose the first battle, I am afraid that it will shake morale. ”

"The military advisor has always been resourceful, so it is better to be the vanguard of our army, and it is better to get off to a good start."
