After Yang Ling comforted the girls, he began to pack things.
That night, he was not idle either.
Among countless pink fists and jade arms, he just single-handedly killed Mi Zhen, Cao Qing and other women to a complete defeat!
When Yang Ling woke up early the next morning, what he saw was the girls sleeping soundly.
He nodded with satisfaction and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Zuo Ci’s Fangzhongshu is really effective!
This time Yang Ling left for Hanoi County, Guo Zhao was still taking care of him personally.
In addition, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, the commanders of his personal guards, also accompanied him.
When Yang Ling got up and came to the lobby, Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao had been waiting for a long time.
Without staying too long, they set off for the military camp outside the city.
In order to better resist the coalition forces of Gao Gan, Xiongnu, Ma Teng and others, Cao Cao specifically ordered that any man Yang Ling wanted to take away should just say hello.
Yang Ling would naturally not be polite.
Of course, there is no need to say more about Gan Ning, Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun.
In addition, he also specifically named Zhang Liao.
After all, the Huns and Xiliang people were mainly cavalry.
Zhang Liao was a cavalryman, and he was the one who led the Bingzhou cavalry under Lu Bu.
It can be said that it is most suitable for him to deal with the enemy's cavalry.
Cao Cao allocated an additional 50,000 troops to Yang Ling, including 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry.
Among the cavalry, there were three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry.
This shows how much confidence and trust Cao Cao has in Yang Ling!
After gathering troops and horses in the military camp, Yang Ling gave a pre-battle speech, and then the mighty army marched out of Xudu City.
The journey was uneventful, and after several days of traveling, they finally arrived in Huai County.
The person who now serves as the governor of Hanoi County is none other than Yang Chou, who had taken the initiative to join Cao Cao.
After hearing the news of Yang Ling's arrival, he did not dare to neglect and came outside the city to greet him personally.
"I've seen the general with great facial features!"
"We are all our own people, so you don't have to be polite, Governor Yang."
Yang Ling smiled affectionately.
Yang Gangyan was immediately flattered and hurriedly welcomed Yang Ling and his party into the city.
Inside the Sheriff's Mansion.
After everyone sat down, Yang Ling asked,
"Prefect Yang, I wonder what the enemy's movements are lately?"
"Reporting to General Wu Guanzhonglang, I have already sent various spies to inquire about the enemy's movements."
Yang Chou said respectfully,
"According to the news sent back yesterday, the coalition army composed of Gao Gan, Xiongnu and others has approximately 100,000 people!"
"They are unstoppable in Hedong County. They can reach Jiguan in three days at most!"
Looking at the sand tray on the table, Yang Ling frowned slightly.
He didn't expect that the enemy's attack would be so fierce.
But it makes sense when you think about it. After all, the opponent is a three-way coalition and has a strong general like Ma Chao.
If he hadn't been so fierce, he might have suspected that the other party had some conspiracy.
"What suggestions do you have?"
Yang Ling looked at the people sitting below.
"What else is there to say? Naturally, we must defend Jiguan and prevent the enemy from entering."
Gan Ning said without thinking.
Jiguan is located at the junction of Hedong County and Hanoi County. The terrain is dangerous and it guards the main road between the two counties.
As long as Jiguan can be defended, there is no need to worry about Gao Gan, Ma Teng and others attacking.
But Zhang Liao on the side shook his head.
"I don't think it's appropriate."
"Why is it inappropriate?"
Gan Ning wondered.
"The opponent is coming fiercely. No matter how dangerous Jiguan is, they will never be able to stop their offensive."
"Instead of doing this, it's better to extend the front line, let them in, and then plan for it slowly!"
Zhang Liao analyzed.
"Wouldn't this lead to a wolf entering the house?"
Huang Zhong stroked his white beard and frowned.
Yang Ling smiled,
"Instead of luring the wolf into the house, it's better to close the door and beat the dog! I very much agree with Wen Yuan's view!"
Among the generals present today, whether they are Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, or Gao Shun, although they also have strategies, strictly speaking, they can only be regarded as generals.
Zhang Liao was the only one who not only had outstanding martial arts skills, but also had an overall view and outstanding commanding ability.
Seeing Yang Ling speak, everyone said nothing.
"Prefect Yang."
Yang Ling shouted.
"The official is here!"
Yang Chou answered with cupped hands.
"From now on, you will immediately evacuate all the people in all villages and counties from Huai County to Jiguan, and strictly implement the policy of clearing the country. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
"That's good, let's do it quickly!"
Yang Ling waved his hand and looked towards the distant west.
Ma, I want to see how powerful you are!
…
Outside Jiguan.
"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, the gates of Jiguan City are wide open and there is no one inside. The defenders inside also withdrew early."
A soldier cupped his hands and said.
Hearing this, the rugged man sitting high on the horse frowned slightly.
He is the warlord of the generation of separatists in Guanzhong and Xiliang, General Andi appointed by the imperial court, Ma Teng!
"This is good news. Why does Brother Shoucheng frown?"
Another burly man next to him couldn't help but asked with a smile.
He was Han Sui, who separated the region with Ma Teng and became brothers of the opposite sex.
"Yes, does the leader think there is something wrong?"
Gao Gan and the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Huchuquan also looked at Ma Teng with puzzled faces.
After reaching an alliance, after some deliberations, everyone decided to elect Ma Teng as the leader of the alliance.
Firstly, he was the most powerful, and he and Han Sui were sworn brothers, and secondly, because his son Ma Chao was famous and had unparalleled martial arts.
"Don't you think there's something strange about Yang Ling abandoning the defense of such a dangerous place?"
Ma Teng frowned and looked at Jiguan not far away.
"Father, you are too worried! We are sweeping through Hedong County, and Yang Ling is afraid that he may be timid and run away in advance."
The speaker was Ma Chao, son of Ma Teng.
I saw him with a jade-like face, a strong build, white robes and silver armor, holding a long spear in his hand, and he looked majestic!
Between his eyes closed, there would be light flickering from time to time.
He is indeed the mighty general who is famous for his bravery and beats Qiang and Di to their knees!
"Meng Qi, don't be careless."
Ma Teng shook his head at Ma Chao.
At this time, another war horse came forward, and there was a female general sitting on the horse.
She has a beautiful face, which can be said to be the beauty of the country. Ordinary people can't help but fall in love with her after looking at her.
The pink soft armor he wears and the long spear in his hand add to his prowess!
She is Ma Teng's daughter, Ma Chao's biological sister Ma Yunlu!
Ma Yunlu was born in a family of military generals, and he was influenced by his experience in dancing with guns and clubs since he was a child.
This time when Cao Cao went to war, she also went with her father.
When fighting in Hedong County a few days ago, he even killed several generals!
"Father, I think my brother is right. Yang Ling must have been scared away."
"If he doesn't run away, I will definitely capture him alive and let him know how powerful I am!"
Ma Yunlu hummed.
