"I'm ashamed to say that my subordinates don't know."

Pang Tong shook his head and groaned,

"But judging from the current situation, I think that King Wei will not be unfavorable to the general."

For example, if it has not been pacified today, Yang Ling, as an important minister of the Han Dynasty, has made great achievements.

If there is no real evidence, if Cao Pi is given the courage, he will never dare to touch him.

"Actually, I can guess what King Wei wants to do."

Yang Ling said thoughtfully.

Pang Tong was slightly stunned,

"Please also ask the general to make it clear!"

"If I'm not mistaken, King Wei should want to be the emperor!"

Yang Ling said softly.

As soon as his words landed, a series of rolling thunder suddenly sounded outside, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier!

I don't know if he was frightened by thunder or Yang Ling's words, Pang Tong's heart jumped, and his face was a little frightened.

He glanced and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said,

"Even the first king didn't dare to usurp the Han and stand on his own, does the King of Wei have the courage to do this?"

"If he didn't have the courage, he wouldn't be Cao Pi!"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Ling's mouth.

Don't look at the past year, he has been fighting against Liu Qi, Liu Bei, and Jiangdong in Jingzhou.

But the news in Xu Du's court has never been ignored.

After inheriting the throne of Wei, Cao Pi, with the help of Sima Yi, Chen Qun and others, began to stabilize the situation.

Foreign.

Cao Pi ordered Yang Ling to crusade against Jingzhou, and rewarded Wuhuan and Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu in order to win them over.

Internal.

He reused Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Wu Zhen and others who were loyal to him and capable.

Clans of the older generation, such as Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, and Cao Hong, have been rewarded.

Xiahou Shang, Cao Zhen and other clansmen of the younger generation were pushed to high positions.

In just half a year, Cao Pi completely mastered the court.

Although Cao Pi has many shortcomings, Yang Ling doesn't like him, but he has to admit that if he is someone else, he may not be able to do better than Cao Pi.

In the final analysis, Cao Pi is still completely different from his father Cao Cao.

Cao Cao regarded himself as a Han Chen, and he was unwilling to usurp Han and stand on his own until he died.

But Cao Pi doesn't have this burden in his heart.

Now that the situation has been decided, it is normal for him to have the idea of usurping the Han and standing on his own.

Moreover, in real history, Cao Pi forced Liu Xie to abdicate not long after Cao Cao's death, and finally ascended the throne as emperor.

Because of this, Yang Ling made a guess.

"If it is really as the general said, then it is reasonable for King Wei to let you go back."

Pang Tong bowed slightly.

Yang Ling has a reputation among the government and the opposition, and he has a heavy army outside.

In case when Cao Pi became emperor, Yang Ling used the excuse of exterminating the traitors to lead the troops to rebel, it would be troublesome.

Moreover, the matter of being called the emperor is very important, and Cao Pi also needs Yang Ling to sit in Xu Du.

Therefore, Cao Pi wants to stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and it is reasonable to invite Yang Ling back.

"It's just that King Wei is too anxious."

Yang Ling frowned.

Although Cao Wei's power is far above Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Zhang Lu and others, it is not the right time to be the emperor now.

After all, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others have not yet been exterminated, and Gongsun Du in the north is also ready to move.

The most ideal is to wait for the strongest Liu Bei and Sun Quan to fall, and then consider the matter of becoming the emperor!

But if Cao Pi can endure until that time, he won't be Cao Pi!

"Well, since King Wei has an order, I'll go back. During my absence, I also asked the military advisor to give more guidance to General Xiahou so that nothing could go wrong. ”

Yang Ling admonished.

"Please rest assured, General!"

Pang Tong bowed.

……

Cao Pi had an order, and Yang Ling did not delay.

This time he returned to Xudu just for Cao Pi to ascend the throne as emperor, so Yang Ling did not bring too many people.

Except for Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhou Cang and others, almost all the rest of the generals stayed in Changsha County, but Xing Daorong was specially taken.

Knowing that Yang Ling was going to take him to Xudu, Xing Daorong was also flattered.

Yang Ling took Fan Ling and the others to Luoxian in the heavy rain, and then took a warship to return to Jiangling from Yunmengze.

At this time, Jiangling City already had Cao Ren in charge.

Yang Ling had a brief greeting with him, didn't stay too long, took Zhao Yun, Ganmei, Guan Yinping and a few people, and hurried away.

Due to heavy rains, the roads are rough and difficult to navigate.

As a last resort, they had to go to Hanjin, from where they took a boat and traveled north along the Han River to Xiangyang.

……

Assassin's House.

"Meet the General!"

Liu Cong respectfully saluted Yang Ling.

"Why should a family talk about two families, Cong'er doesn't have to be polite."

Yang Ling said with a smile.

"That's it, Cong'er should call you Dad, understand?"

Cai Yu said with a straight face.

Liu Cong didn't dare to disobey his stepmother, and obediently called Yang Ling his father.

Now that Cai Yu has married into the Yang Mansion, it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with Liu Cong calling him his father.

But with a cheap son for no reason, Yang Ling still feels weird.

"What is the situation in Jingzhou now?"

Yang Ling asked with a smile.

"Thanks to my father, everything is well."

Liu Cong said honestly.

Thanks to the relationship between Yang Ling and Cai Yu, after sacrificing Jingzhou and taking refuge in Cao Wei, Cao Pi did not embarrass Liu Cong and let him continue to serve as the assassin of Jingzhou.

"That's good. Speaking of which, why don't you see Boyo and Shizai? ”

Yang Ling remembered his two protégés and looked at Cai Yu.

"Knowing the news that my husband is coming back, I have already sent someone to inform them, so it must be almost there."

Cai Yu was unsure.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a rush of footsteps outside.

Followed by Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, they hurriedly ran in, and when they saw Yang Ling, they exclaimed excitedly,

"Teacher!"

Looking at the two disciples he hadn't seen for a long time, Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction,

"I haven't seen you for so long, but you two have grown up."

Compared with the last time, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai have faded from their childishness and are obviously much more mature.

In accordance with Yang Ling's instructions, they have been building water conservancy in Tuntian in the Jingzhou area.

The grain and grass used by Yang Ling when he attacked Jiangling and Jingnan counties were provided by Jiang Wei and Deng Ai.

"Since the teacher said that we have grown up, can you take us with you?"

Jiang Wei said with a blank eye.

"Yes...... Be...... Ah, I'm ...... We want to ...... too. Follow the teacher to make a career! ”

Deng Ai is also looking forward to it.

Under the influence of Yang Ling, coupled with the fact that they usually learn the art of war and martial arts, they both want to go to the battlefield instead of staying in the rear to farm.

Yang Ling thought about it, nodded and smiled,

"Okay, I promise you for the teacher!"

Previously, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai were allowed to be in the rear tuntian, firstly because they were still young, and secondly, because Cao Jun needed grain and grass.

Now that Jingzhou Tuntian has become large-scale and the two have grown up, it is time to reuse them.

"Great!"

When the two of them heard this, they both smiled excitedly!
