Chapter 358: Turning the Tide
However, Xun Yu doesn't think so, every time he deals with political affairs, he must send someone to call Yang Ling over.
It's not.
Today, Yang Ling was teasing Yang Lan, Yang Yuan, and Yang Yue in the house, enjoying the joy of family, but he was invited by Xun Yu.
Looking at the official documents piled up like a small mountain, Yang Ling only felt an incomparably headache!
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside.
The two looked up, but it was Dian Wei who broke in!
"Second brother, why are you back?"
Yang Ling asked suspiciously.
"Big brother, Duke Wei asked me to invite you to Nanyang County!"
Dian Wei said in a hurry.
When Yang Ling heard this, his heart sank.
Cao Cao was reluctant to take himself there this time, because he didn't want to let himself continue to make military achievements.
But now that he has sent Dian Wei back to invite himself, there is only one possibility.
"But Duke Wei was defeated?"
"Big brother is right."
Dian Wei nodded, sighed and said,
"Zhuge Liang set up an ambush, burned Wancheng, and took the opportunity to attack our army."
"Our army was finally defeated, and even with Duke Wei, he vomited blood and passed out!"
As soon as these words came out, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Zhong Xuan and others in the hall were all dumbfounded.
No one could have imagined that Cao Cao would take Guo Jia, Xiahou Yuan and other civil and military generals to go out in person.
In the case of Cao Wei's elite, he still lost to Liu Bei!
That Zhuge Liang ...... Is it that scary?!
Compared with them, Yang Ling was not so surprised.
After all, he had long known that Zhuge Liang was wise and close to the demon, otherwise he would not have repeatedly defeated Cao Cao and assisted Liu Bei to establish Shu Han.
But what he didn't expect was that he repeatedly told Cao Cao that he would still be defeated by Zhuge Liang's fire attack.
It's saponification!
"Xun Lingjun, everyone, then let's take the next step first."
Yang Ling sighed and stood up.
Chong Cao's previous attitude, Yang Ling really had the urge to pretend to be sick at home.
However, the war is urgent at the moment, otherwise Boss Cao would not have sent Dian Wei to invite him.
So after thinking about it, Yang Ling also put away his temper.
After returning to the house, he instructed Cao Qing and the other women to pack their luggage, and asked Zhou Cang to invite Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others.
Due to his good relationship with Yang Ling, Cao Cao went to Wancheng this time and did not bring Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, and Ma Chao.
As for Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong, they were also sent to guard Hefei.
In case Sun Quan saw Liu Bei attacking Cao Cao and was about to move.
"Brother Ziyi, what are you doing?"
Looking at Yang Ling's packed luggage, Gan Ning was a little strange.
When he saw Dian Wei on the side, he was even more dazed,
"Brother Dian, didn't you follow Duke Wei to Wancheng, why did you come back?"
Zhao Yun on the side reacted very quickly, looked at Yang Ling and said,
"Big brother, could it be that the war ahead is tight, and Duke Wei sent someone to invite you over."
"Zilong is right."
Yang Ling nodded, and briefly told Zhuge Liang about the burning of Wancheng and the defeat of Cao Jun.
After hearing this, everyone was shocked that Zhuge Liang had a ghost plan, and at the same time, they also secretly admired Yang Ling.
After all, Yang Ling has said many times that Zhuge Liang has a strategy and must be careful!
"Hey, why didn't Duke Wei listen to Brother Ziyi's reminder?"
Gan Ning couldn't help but shake his head and said,
"If he had listened, how could he have been defeated today?"
"Xingba Shenyan!"
Yang Ling couldn't wait to cover Gan Ning's mouth and hurriedly reminded.
If this kind of words reach Boss Cao's ears, he will not have a good life in the future!
Gan Ning also reacted and said with a dry smile,
"It's me who is too talkative!"
"Alright, you guys go back and pack your things, let's get ready to go!"
Yang Ling said.
After everything was cleaned up, Yang Ling left Xu Capital with Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others.
They had a small group of people and acted quickly, but in a day or two, they entered the boundary of Nanyang County.
But to Yang Ling's surprise, Cao Cao had already led the army and retreated to Ye County.
Ye County Cao Jun Battalion.
After knowing that Yang Ling was coming, Xiahoudun, Guo Jia and others came out to greet them in person.
"Brother Ziyi!"
"The middle general of the facial features!"
"Ziyi!"
Yang Ling smiled and greeted them one by one.
After the greetings, Xiahoudun took him to the barracks.
"General Yuanrang, aren't you in Bowang County, why did you retreat to Ye County again?"
Yang Ling was a little strange.
"Ziyi doesn't know, a few days ago, Liu Biao supported Liu Bei with 20,000 soldiers and horses."
Xiahoudun smiled bitterly.
Zhuge Liang successively fired two fires and defeated more than 100,000 Cao troops.
While he became famous, he also let Liu Biao and others see the hope of defeating Cao Thief and reviving the Han Dynasty.
So at the suggestion of a group of scholars in Jingzhou, Liu Biao sent another 20,000 soldiers and horses to Wancheng.
With the original soldiers and horses, Liu Bei suddenly had an army of 50,000.
This made him feel a lot more confident, so he waved his troops north!
On the other hand, on Cao Jun's side, after the loss of troops and generals, not to mention the low morale, Cao Cao himself was even more unwell.
In desperation, Xiahoudun could only retreat to Ye County with everyone.
If Yang Ling doesn't arrive today, they are still ready to withdraw from Nanyang County directly.
How urgent is the situation?
Yang Ling was a little surprised, and the pace under his feet was also much faster.
Soon they arrived at Cao Cao's tent.
After the guards announced, Yang Ling and the others also walked into the camp tent and saw Cao Cao.
Compared with the high spirits when he set off from Xu Du, Cao Cao at this time was undoubtedly much haggard.
His eyes were blank and his face was pale.
Seeing Yang Ling's arrival, Cao Cao barely showed a smile on his face.
"Ziyi is here!"
"My subordinates have seen Duke Wei!"
Yang Ling hurriedly saluted.
"No need to be polite, please take a seat."
After Cao Cao beckoned Yang Ling to sit down, he said to Cao Pi and the others on the side,
"You all step back first, Rong Gu and Ziyi will talk to you in private."
Although Cao Pi was unwilling, he could only accept the order and withdraw from the camp with the others.
After only two people remained, Cao Cao sighed and said guiltily,
"Lone failed to reuse Ziyi, and failed to listen to Ziyi's admonition, so he had today's defeat. I hope Ziyi will not resent Lonely in his heart. ”
Since Chen Liu's army, Yang Ling followed Cao Cao's expedition to the east and west, and was born and died for so many years.
But Cao Cao, in order to allow Cao Pi to better take over his position, suppressed Yang Ling.
To be honest, of course Yang Ling was unhappy in his heart!
However, seeing Cao Cao's bleak appearance, the complaints in his heart also disappeared.
"Father-in-law is serious, after all, we are still a family, how can I resent my father-in-law?"
Yang Ling said comfortingly.
Hearing him say this, Cao Cao's face looked much better, and he said with a wry smile,
"I invited you here this time, and I also hope that you can turn the tide and save the situation!"
Cao Cao now sits on several states and is powerful.
Although he lost two games in a row in Wancheng and lost his troops, it did not reach the point of breaking his muscles and bones.
But what is more troublesome is that the situation is a little unfavorable for Cao Cao.
