Previously, Sima Yi was in charge of the war in the south, and after the defeat of Jiangxia and returned, Cao Pi not only did not punish him, but also added him to the rank of knight.

On the other hand, after Yang Ling made a series of military exploits, Cao Pi only praised a few words lightly, and he added a little bit of fiefdom to him, and did not say anything.

"What you said makes sense, so let's send someone to tell Your Majesty."

Yang Ling shrugged his shoulders, indifferently authentic.

Although he didn't care about Cao Pi's attitude, he could reduce the trouble, or reduce the trouble.

Moreover, the women of the step trainer were also pregnant, so they were all sent back to Xudu by the way, and they were ready to give birth with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling no longer hesitated, and wrote a note.

Then he found a team of people, handed the letter to the military generals led by him, and asked them to escort Xiao Qiao, the foot trainer, and Pan Shu back to Xudu first.

As for Sun Shangxiang, firstly, she is not pregnant, and secondly, when Yang Ling attacks Jiangdong, maybe she can also come in handy.

Therefore, Yang Ling still kept her by his side, and she could relieve her loneliness on weekdays.

……

Xu Du.

Sima Yi's Mansion.

"That Yang Ling is very hateful, my family Wu Hou is the same as the general of the Fu Army (Sima Yi's official position), and they all hate this person."

"The general of the Fu army has won the trust of the Son of Heaven, why not say a few words in front of the Son of Heaven, so as to get rid of this thief?"

The messenger from Jiangdong stood at the foot of the hall and smiled and said.

Sima Yi nodded, and said quietly,

"What you said is extremely true, this person is arrogant and domineering, and his heart is not right, he should be eliminated!"

When the Jiangdong envoy heard this, his face immediately showed joy,

"Then I will thank General Fujun for Wu Hou!"

He nodded to the servants beside him, asking them to bring up the large and small bags of gifts.

Seeing this, Sima Kui, Sima Fu and others on the side also stepped forward to take the gifts.

A few people exchanged pleasantries, and the Jiangdong envoy stood up and left satisfied.

Without waiting for Sima Yi to take a breath, he saw a subordinate hurrying over,

"Master, someone from the palace said that His Majesty summoned the master to the palace to discuss matters!"

Sima Yi was slightly stunned, and then stood up,

"Shuda, Jida, you enter the palace with me!"

"Whoa!"

Sima Fu and Sima Kui surrendered their orders.

The three of them simply cleaned up and headed towards the palace.

After a while, they came to the palace and met Emperor Cao Pi of Wei.

"Zhongda, you're here!"

Cao Pi said hello to Sima Yi and them, and then raised the music in his hand,

"This is something that Yang Ling just ordered someone to send, so let's take a look at it first."

The eunuch on the side took the song and handed it to Sima Yi.

After Sima Yi saw it, Cao Pi asked,

"What do you think of Yang Ling's proposal?"

Sima Yi pondered for a moment, nodded and said,

"According to his subordinates, His Majesty might as well agree to Yang Ling's request."

"When His Majesty asked Yang Ling to come out of the mountain that day, he promised him that everything on the front line would be under his command."

"If you don't accept his request to attack Jiangdong, I'm afraid that it will be true."

"That's one of them."

"Second, no matter whether Yang Ling wins or loses, it is a good thing for Your Majesty."

"If he wins, my Great Wei can subdue Yangzhou and cut off Jiangdong's fierce enemies."

"If he is defeated, His Majesty will have an excuse to do something to him, right?"

Sima Fu and Sima Kui on the side were slightly stunned, and their eyes were full of incomprehension.

When Cao Pi heard this, he stroked his palms and smiled,

"What Zhong Da said coincides with me, and that's exactly what I think."

"In that case, then I will send a letter back to Yang Ling, allowing him to send troops to attack Jiangdong!"

Sima Yi bowed,

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The two of them chatted a few more words, and Sima Yi left with his two younger brothers.

As soon as he left the palace, Sima Fu couldn't help but ask,

"We are in the same boat as Yang Ling, and the second brother agreed to the request of the Jiangdong envoy, why would he suggest that His Majesty agree to Yang Ling's request to send troops?"

Sima Yi glanced at his two younger brothers and couldn't help laughing,

"Sun Quan wants me to advise Your Majesty, what is the purpose of removing Yang Ling?"

"Naturally, it's because Yang Ling is like a god with soldiers, which makes Jiangdong breathless."

Sima Fu didn't want to say anything.

"In that case, then why should I do what he wants?"

Sima Yi said slowly,

"If you really get rid of Yang Ling, won't it be equivalent to cutting off my Great Wei's arms?"

"But if Yang Ling really calms Jiangdong, won't he be in the limelight again?"

Sima Kui scratched his head and said suspiciously.

"Jida, that's what you're thinking wrong."

A sneer appeared on Sima Yi's face,

"Once he pacifies Jiangdong, then it will be his time of death!"

Looking at the whole world, whether it is Gongsun Kang of Liaodong, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, and Liu Bei, they are not enough to compete with Cao Wei.

The only one who can be regarded as a big henchman is Jiangdong.

As long as Jiangdong is pacified, other forces will no longer have the strength to compete with Cao Wei.

And at that time, if you don't have any worries, you can't use Yang Ling's Cao Pi, so you can make a move on Yang Ling!

"What the second brother said is extremely true! But my third brother and I are short-sighted! ”

Sima Fu and Sima Kui suddenly realized.

Sima Yi patted the shoulders of the two of them and said with a smile,

"Besides, the two of you can return safely from Jiangdong, and our Sima family can be regarded as owing Yang Ling a favor, so we might as well let him live for a while longer!"

As he spoke, he looked south, and a chill flashed in his eyes!

……

Yuzhang County.

Chaisang.

After losing to Cao's army and losing Jiangxia County, Cheng Pu, as the governor of Zuodu, led his army to retreat here.

With Chaisang as the center, he built a defensive line, intending to keep Cao's army out of Yangzhou.

On this day, when Cheng Pu was leading people to count the grain and grass, he saw General Bi hurrying over.

"Governor, it's not good, the Cao army is coming!"

Although Cheng Pu had already expected the attack of the Cao army, after learning the news, his heart sank.

His face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice,

"Where is Cao Jun now?"

"In half an hour at most, the vanguard of the Cao Army will be able to kill here!"

Hearing this, Cheng Pu's face changed,

"Why is Cao Jun's speed so fast? What are our outposts for? ”

"Dudu, with the strength of our army, we really can't compete with Cao's army......"

Ding Feng smiled bitterly.

The combat power of the Cao army is much higher than that of the Jiangdong army, and Cheng Pu also knows it.

Moreover, the situation was urgent at the moment, and he also took care of other things, and immediately commanded,

"Give the order to go down, close the gates, and gather all the people!"

"Whoa!"

Ding Feng clenched his fists and left.

It didn't take long for the entire city of Chaisan to be put on alert.

As soon as the officers and men of the Jiangdong Army were assembled, Cheng Pu at the head of the city saw dust in the distance, and it seemed that a large number of cavalry were coming.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for thousands of iron horsemen holding high the banner of Cao Wei to roll in!

The Great War is imminent!
