After Yang Ling was appointed as the official general of Zhengnan, Cao Ren's position became that of General Annan, responsible for assisting Yang Ling.

This time, Yang Ling was attacking the city in front, and Cao Ren was in Nanyang County in the rear, transporting grain and grass for him.

There must have been something big happening, otherwise Cao Ren would not have come without telling him!

Thinking of this, Yang Ling put down the wine glass in his hand, and was just about to get up to greet Cao Ren, when he saw him striding in.

"General Zixiao."

As soon as Yang Ling said hello, he saw Cao Ren with a solemn face,

"The last general has something important to report, and I hope that the general will retreat!"

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Yang Ling didn't dare to slack off, and immediately let Xu Shu, Gao Rou, Zhao Yun and others leave.

After only Yang Ling and Cao Ren were left in the tent, Cao Ren stepped forward and said in a low voice,

"A few days ago, the King of Wei was seriously ill, and he urgently announced that the general would return to Xudu!"

Although his voice was soft, to Yang Ling's ears, it was no less than a thunderclap!

When he set off from Xudu, Cao Cao was still in good health, why did he suddenly become seriously ill?

"What the hell is going on?"

Yang Ling came back to his senses and asked in a deep voice.

Cao Ren grabbed the wine jug on the table, drank it dry, wiped his mouth, shook his head and smiled bitterly,

"I don't know the specifics. I just know that after the defeat of Wancheng, King Wei's health has not been very good......"

Yang Ling suddenly realized.

In the first battle of Wancheng, Cao's army suffered heavy casualties, and Cao Cao also fell seriously ill because of this, but he didn't expect the impact to be so deep!

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and nodded,

"I'll leave for now, and I'll leave this place to General Zixiao for the time being."

Cao Cao is the king of Wei, and his illness is not a trivial matter.

Therefore, Yang Ling did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered Zhou Cang to pack his bags for himself, and then handed over all the matters of the camp to Cao Ren.

When everything was ready, he rode out of Cao's camp and rushed to Xu Du overnight!

……

When the sun is on the slope of Changsaka.

I saw several cavalry, galloping from a distance.

The riders on horseback are all dusty and tired!

It was Yang Ling and his party.

"General, it's Nagasaka Slope ahead! We've been on the road all night, so we might as well take a break! ”

Gan Ning said loudly.

Since leaving the camp, the group has not rested, and they have been on the road from night until dawn, when they are tired and sleepy.

Yang Ling glanced at everyone and nodded,

"Okay, then let's take a break!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stopped their horses, found an open space, and rested for the time being.

When he returned to Xudu this time, Yang Ling did not bring too many people, only Zhou Cang, Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, Gao Rou, and seven or eight personal soldiers.

Originally, Yang Ling wanted to take Zhang Xingcai back, but considering the urgency of the trip, he asked Pei Yuanshao to take the rest of his personal soldiers and slowly escort Zhang Xingcai back.

Taking advantage of the rest, Gan Ning came up and lowered his voice,

"Brother Ziyi, what is the matter, we are going to return to Xudu in such a hurry?"

Seeing that several personal soldiers were patrolling not far away, and there were no outsiders around, Yang Ling did not intend to hide it from them, and told the news that Cao Cao was seriously ill.

When everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded, and then they understood why Yang Ling hurried back to Xudu overnight!

"If King Wei really leaves the West, what does the general think?"

Gao Rou asked in a low voice.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions moved, and they all looked at Yang Ling.

Yang Ling naturally understood what everyone meant.

Once Boss Cao is seriously ill and dies, then Cao Pi must take his place.

But Yang Ling and Cao Pi have always been at odds and have a lot of grievances.

With Cao Pi's character, after taking power, I am afraid that he will retaliate against Yang Ling.

Gan Ning and Zhao Yun all served under Yang Ling's account, and they could be counted as Yang Ling's faction.

When Yang Ling is suppressed, of course they will not be able to stand alone!

"I understand your concerns. But don't worry, I, Yang Ling, am not the kind of person who sits idly by. ”

Yang Ling's tone was full of confidence.

Everyone was also infected by him and temporarily let go of their worries.

After resting for half an hour, the group hurried again.

For the next trip, Yang Ling will not rest if they can not rest, unless the people and the war horses are too tired to stand it.

After arriving in Xiangyang City, the group had a good night's rest.

Yang Ling didn't care about making love with Cai Yu, so he hurriedly changed his war horse and embarked on the trip again!

When they rushed back to Xudu from Jiangling, they were all bearded and haggard.

Yang Ling has lost a whole circle of weight!

But others can rest, but Yang Ling can't.

Before he could enter the city, Dian Wei received news and was ordered to meet him.

"How is King Wei?"

Yang Ling asked as he hurried towards the Wei Palace.

"I'm not very optimistic, I was in a coma for a day yesterday, and I only woke up for a while in the evening."

Dian Wei paused, and then whispered,

"Mr. Zhongjing has already come to see it, and said that it was only for a few days......"

When Yang Ling heard this, his pace was sluggish.

He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything, and continued to rush towards the Wei Palace.

At this time, the Wei Palace, the inner and outer three floors were full of stubborn soldiers, and the guard was quite strict.

"Big brother, you're back!"

Xu Chu, who was guarding the door, was also a little excited when he saw Yang Ling.

Yang Ling nodded, didn't bother to greet him, and walked towards the mansion.

In the lobby, Cao Cao's wife, Cao Ang and Cao Qing's adoptive mother, Mrs. Ding, sat in the hall, surrounded by Cao Zhi, Cao Jun, Cao Xiong and other Cao Cao's other sons.

In addition to the Cao family, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Cao Hong, Zhang Ji and others were all present.

Seeing Yang Ling returning, everyone also greeted each other.

After Yang Ling responded one by one, he saluted Mrs. Ding and said respectfully,

"Queen, I don't know what the situation is with King Wei?"

Mrs. Ding's eyes were red, and she said sadly,

"Still unconscious......"

Yang Ling sighed and comforted,

"Wei Wangjiren Tianxiang, there will definitely be nothing wrong."

After everyone chatted for a while, Yang Ling leaned over to Zhang Ji and asked in a low voice,

"Mr. Zhongjing, King Wei, he really ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Ji shaking his head, his expression was quite heavy.

Seeing this situation, Yang Ling's mood was also quite complicated.

It is inevitable that people will eventually die.

Counting Boss Cao, he is already almost sixty years old, which is quite long in the Eastern Han Dynasty when the average life expectancy is only twenty-two years old!

Yang Ling stayed in the lobby with everyone all the time, and talked in a low voice from time to time.

Seeing that the sky had darkened, Mrs. Ding persuaded everyone to go back first.

Hurried back, Yang Ling was also exhausted.

So he left the Wei Wangfu and returned to his mansion first.

As soon as Yang Ling entered the door, he saw Cao Qing hurriedly catching up,

"Father, how is my father doing?"
