Chapter 510: Do you know how I've spent the past three years?
When the city gate slowly opened, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong came out with their soldiers.
As soon as Yang Ling turned over and dismounted, Zhang Liao laughed and stepped forward and hugged him.
"General, the last general wants to kill you!"
Zhang Liao has always been calm, and being so excited today is really a revelation of his true feelings.
But this is bitter for Yang Ling.
Rao is that he has practiced qi refining techniques, and he can be regarded as strong and strong, and when he was hugged by Zhang Liao like this, he couldn't help but grin.
"Wen Yuan, lightly, you hurt me."
Zhang Liao laughed, and then let go of his hands,
"General, haven't we seen each other for a few years?"
"It's been almost three years, hasn't it?"
Yang Ling said with a smile.
"Three years, do you know how I spent these three years?"
Zhang Liao's face was quite emotional.
Since he took refuge in Cao Cao, he has been following Yang Ling, and the friendship between the two is not deep.
It was not until after the pacification of Youzhou that Zhang Liao left Yang Ling's command and was sent to garrison Hefei.
During this period, there was an exchange of letters, but they did not see each other for almost three years.
Such a reunion is naturally very exciting.
"Wen Yuan, if you let Mrs. Cao hear this, I'm afraid I'm going to be jealous."
Huang Zhong on the side quipped.
Yang Ling laughed and looked at Huang Zhong,
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but I didn't expect General Huang's demeanor to be the same!"
Although Huang Zhong looks old compared to previous years, his face is still ruddy and full of energy.
"No matter how beautiful the old man is, how can he compare with the general?"
Huang Zhong said with a smile,
"Alright, let's stop talking here, just go in!"
Everyone surrounded Yang Ling and walked towards the city.
Hearing that the general Yang Ling was coming, the soldiers and soldiers stationed in Cao came out to watch, and they blocked the road.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Liao straightened his face,
"You're in a mess, what do you look like, don't hurry up and retreat!"
Seeing that he was angry, all the soldiers were startled and left one after another.
"Wen Yuan's army is still so strict."
Yang Ling praised with a smile.
"The general has an overreputation, speaking of which is this training method, you taught me."
Zhang Liao spoke, leading Yang Ling and Gan Ning to the court.
After a few people sat down, Zhang Liao couldn't help but sigh,
"In recent years, we have all heard of the great general's great military exploits."
"Yes, bombarding Jiangling, burning Chibi, and attacking Changsha, the general is really like a god with soldiers!"
Huang Zhong on the side also nodded in agreement.
Although they were far away in Hefei, the imperial court's official report was indeed not pulled once.
"It's just a pity, if it weren't for Your Majesty, I'm afraid of Jiangdong ......"
Zhang Liao wanted to speak and stopped.
"Okay, don't talk about the unhappy."
Yang Ling smiled and waved his hand.
"By the way, why did the general come to Hefei?"
Huang Zhong said suspiciously.
Yang Ling naturally wouldn't hide it from them, so he informed the two of them of his intentions.
When the two of them heard this, their eyes lit up.
"The general's plan is very second, but he can really hit Jiangdong by surprise!"
Huang Zhong praised.
"Finally, I can follow the general again and make war exploits!"
Zhang Liao was also extremely pleased.
"Speaking of which, how is the war in Hefei?"
Yang Ling asked about business.
Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong also did not dare to slack off, and reported the situation in Hefei to Yang Ling.
In recent years, the imperial army under the command of Yang Ling has been using troops against Jingzhou, so the surrounding area of Hefei has been on the defensive.
Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong both stuck to the city and never took the initiative to attack.
On the Jiangdong side, after tentatively attacking Hefei several times without success, it also gave up the attack.
The two sides also maintain a delicate balance in the Hefei area.
"There are 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, all of whom are trained by the last generals, and they are definitely elite."
"As for the side of the Sukou, according to the observation of our army spies, there are less than 20,000 people in Jiangdong."
Zhang Liao introduced the strength of the two sides.
Hearing this, Yang Ling was a little surprised.
You must know that for Koto, the significance of the mouth is very significant.
It was the front line of the fight against the Cao army, and once the mouth of the water was lost, the Cao army could go down the river and take the old nest Jianye in Jiangdong.
In such an important place, Sun Quan only arranged less than 20,000 people?
However, after a short period of surprise, Yang Ling also figured out the reason.
Previously, they fought in Jingzhou repeatedly, whether it was the Cao army or the Sun-Liu coalition army, they all suffered heavy losses.
Cao Wei is strong, even if there is a big loss, it won't take long to make up for it.
But Jiangdong is not good, Sun Quan only has one state, and Liu Bei is a drag oil bottle, so life is naturally tight.
He could only draw troops from Huainan and other places where there was no war to support the war in Jingzhou.
This is also the reason why after Liu Bei occupied most of the territory in Jingnan, the people in Jiangdong were so angry.
In this way, it is a godsend!
Yang Ling's eyes flashed, and he sneered,
"In that case, let's go and attack the mouth of the water, what do you think?"
"We are all at the mercy of the general!"
Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong said in unison.
Yang Ling was a general of the imperial court, and Cao Pi had promised before that everything in the southern war would obey his orders.
Naturally, the two will not have any objections.
As for the fact that Cao's army is inferior to Jiangdong, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong are even less worried about this.
Just kidding, is there still one less example of Yang Ling winning more with less?
Everyone has blind trust in Yang Ling!
"I just don't know what specific tactics the general has?"
Zhang Liao asked.
Yang Ling walked to the sand table, stared at the position of the mouth of the beard, and said softly,
"I plan to take down the mouth of the wet beard first, and take advantage of Jiangdong's late reaction to cross the river in white clothes!"
Cao Wei lacked a naval army, otherwise he would not be so passive in Jingzhou.
Except for the 10,000 soldiers and horses of Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong, there were no other troops in Hefei.
Therefore, Yang Ling planned to capture the mouth of the river first, capture the warships in Jiangdong, and then quickly move south along the river to attack Jianye
After listening to his plan, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong were dumbfounded.
They didn't think that Yang Ling's plan would be a little risky, but they didn't expect it to be so crazy!
With only 10,000 soldiers and horses, he dared to attack Jianye directly.
It's just crazy open doors, crazy home!
However, after calming down, the two pondered carefully, but they felt that it was not impossible.
After all, Jiangdong's attention is focused on Jingzhou at the moment.
Whether it is Wet Whiskers or Jianye, they are all empty of troops!
……
Wet beard mouth.
"General Qiyu, after our inspection today, there is no change in the Cao army in Hefei City."
Jiangdong said respectfully.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's go down and rest first."
Sun Yu waved his hand.
As Sun Quan's cousin and the general of the clan, he was a stable person, so he was sent by Sun Quan to sit in the mouth of the river to resist the Cao army.
"Oh yes, General, I just received a letter from Jianye, saying that Miss Sun is coming to visit the General."
