"feasible."
Yang Ling nodded and agreed to Zhao Yun's proposal.
Zhao Yun immediately sent out several teams of reconnaissance cavalry and began to search along the south bank of the Yellow River.
When night fell, these spies returned one after another and reported the situation to Yang Ling and others.
Within a radius of twenty to thirty miles, any ferry suitable for crossing the river will be controlled by enemy troops on the opposite side.
It was almost impossible for the five thousand of them to cross the river without alerting the enemy.
"What should we do?"
Yang Ling frowned and looked at the lights on the other side of the river, feeling worried.
"It's a pity that we can't cross the river, otherwise Yang Chou on the other side of the river won't be able to take my knife at all!"
Gan Ning slammed the big knife in his hand into the soil with an annoyed look on his face.
"Wait, Xingba, what did you just say?"
An idea flashed in Yang Ling's mind, and she quickly turned around and asked.
Gan Ning was stunned.
"I said...it's a pity that we can't cross the river."
"No, no, that last sentence!"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to take a stab at me!"
"That sentence again!"
"Otherwise, Yang Chou on the other side of the river..."
Before Gan Ning finished speaking, he saw Yang Ling stroking his hands and laughing,
"Fortunately, Xingba reminded me, so I was able to come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy!"
Gan Ning didn't understand what happened at all. He looked blankly at Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Gao Shun beside him, only to find that they were also confused.
…
Twenty miles away from the north bank of the Yellow River, the county seat of Hanoi is Huai County.
In the county government office.
Zhang Yang frowned, looked at General Yang Chou standing in the hall, and said impatiently,
"I didn't tell you to defend the Yellow River and not let any of Cao's troops cross the river. Why are you back again?"
Yang Chou, who was tall and thick, smiled and said nonchalantly,
"Don't worry, my lord. Cao's army is fighting Yuan Shao in Guandu. How could he come here? This subordinate comes back because he has important matters to discuss with my lord."
"Oh? What's the important matter?"
Zhang Yang said calmly.
Yang Chou chuckled, stepped forward and whispered,
"My lord, Yuan Shao has never wanted to see us, so why should we help him?"
"It's better to add icing on the cake than to give help in the nick of time. Now that the war is going against Cao Mengde, why don't we turn against each other and help him deal with Yuan Shao?"
"Once Cao Mengde unifies the north, my lord will be the number one hero, and he will enjoy endless glory and wealth!"
But after listening to his seductive words, Zhang Yang not only was not tempted, but his expression changed and he scolded in a cold voice,
"Shut up! Cao Ah Man and I hate each other for killing our friends, so how can we go and seek refuge with him?"
"Lord..."
Yang Chou was unwilling to give up and wanted to persuade Zhang Yang.
But he saw Zhang Yang slamming the table and glaring at him,
"Don't mention such words again in the future, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
The counselor Dong Zhao on the side quickly persuaded him,
"General Yang Chou is also thinking about my lord. There is no need for my lord to be angry."
"Yes, I have a sincere heart. Please show me my lord!"
Yang Chou also quickly admitted his mistake.
After Dong Zhao's persuasion and Yang Chou's good attitude in admitting his mistakes, Zhang Yang snorted coldly.
"Okay, you go down first and quickly return to the bank of the Yellow River to prepare for Cao's army to cross the river."
"Here!"
Yang Chou didn't dare to stay any longer, so he quickly stood up and left.
After he left, Dong Zhao slowly said,
"Lord, in fact, what Yang Chou said is not unreasonable..."
Zhang Yang sighed and said nothing.
Even though he occupies Hanoi County, he can be regarded as a prince.
But in fact, he cherished the Han Dynasty and disliked Yuan Shao and Cao Cao from the bottom of his heart.
Just because his close friend Lu Bu died at the hands of Cao Cao's son-in-law Yang Ling.
He chose to take refuge with Yuan Shao, just to avenge Lu Bu!
Seeing that Zhang Yang was silent, Dong Zhao had no choice but to say nothing more, but his eyes were full of disappointment.
He has always been talented and originally served under Yuan Shao.
However, Yuan Shao listened to the slander, and he was forced to leave Yuan Shao and join Zhang Yang as a last resort.
In his opinion, Yuan Shao would never be able to defeat Cao Cao, and the man who would dominate the world must be Cao Cao.
Zhang Yang is so stubborn that he is afraid that he will die in the future!
Maybe, should I think about it earlier?
the other side.
Yang Chou left Huai County on horseback. As soon as he left the city gate, he couldn't help but cursed.
"What a short-sighted person!"
As a lord, I am too brainless.
Just for the sake of loyalty with Lu Bu, you should be damned if you risk your great future!
Yang Chou was holding fire in his heart. He galloped wildly and quickly took his personal guards back to the military camp on the north bank.
As soon as he entered the military camp and before he could get off his horse, he saw a general running over.
"General Qi, someone just came from across the river, claiming to be the envoy of Cao Jun!"
Cao Jun’s envoy?
Is it true that the Lord is right, Cao Jun wants to cross the river to attack Hanoi?
Yang Chou's heart thumped and he said quickly,
"Take me there!"
More than a dozen soldiers stood guard outside a camp as if facing a formidable enemy.
Seeing Yang Chou arriving, they all saluted.
Yang Chou waved his hand, opened the tent and walked in.
I saw a scholar in green shirt sitting quietly in the tent.
However, he does not have the weak temperament of a scholar. Instead, he has a heroic spirit that makes people feel good about him.
"Are you the envoy of Cao Jun?"
Yang Chou looked him up and down and asked calmly.
"I'm Yang Ling, whose name is Ziyi. I've met General Yang."
Yang Ling stood up, cupped his hands, and smiled.
Yang Chou nodded casually, but then he seemed to realize something, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he roared in a low voice,
"You...are you the current prime minister's son-in-law, Yang Ziyi?"
"Yes, that's right."
Yang Ling smiled slightly,
"But compared to my status as the prime minister's son-in-law, I prefer you to call me a gentleman with great features!"
Yang Chou never expected that Yang Ling, who was most trusted by Cao Cao, would appear here!
"The Master with five senses, please take a seat quickly!"
After learning Yang Ling's identity, Yang Chou's attitude became obviously respectful.
He said tentatively,
"I wonder what the reason why the Master of Five Sensations is coming today?"
"General, this is asking questions knowingly."
Yang Ling grinned, showing his big white teeth.
"I knew that the general had the idea of seeking refuge with the imperial court and the prime minister, so I went out of my way to lobby the general today."
Hearing this, Yang Chou couldn't help being shocked.
He had never met Yang Ling, so how did he know that he wanted to defect to Cao Cao?
"Now that the prime minister and the traitor Yuan Shao are about to fight, it's time for the general to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side. Is it possible that the general still plans to wait until Yuan Shao is defeated before joining the prime minister?"
"That's fine, but I'm afraid the Prime Minister may not accept you by then."
Yang Ling looked at Yang Chou meaningfully.
Yang Chou's face looked uncertain.
Although he was far away in Hanoi County, he had also heard about Cao Cao's cruel methods.
