When Cao Cao heard this, his expression did not change at all, he stared at Sima Yi and said,
"What do you mean?"
"The Zhen family is a famous noble family in Hebei. Even Yuan Shao had to win over them through marriage."
"Yang Linggui is a general with five senses, and he has a lot of power to begin with."
"Not only did he have good friendships with Wen Yuan, Han Sheng and other high-ranking generals, but he also married into the Mi family, which is the most wealthy in the world."
"Not to mention that Ma Teng's daughter has also been taken into his room."
"Now he has made many military exploits one after another, and his prestige in both the government and the public is close to that of my lord."
"If he is allowed to accept the Zhen family again and establish a relationship with the Zhen family in Hebei, I'm afraid he will become a serious problem for the lord!"
Sima Yi said in a deep voice.
Cao Cao's expression changed drastically and he scolded sternly,
"I knew you had a grudge against Zi Yi, but I didn't expect you would dare to stir up trouble with me?! Do you think I don't dare to kill you?!"
When Sima Yi heard this, he knelt down on the ground with a plop and said sincerely,
"My lord, this subordinate is not doing this because of personal grudges, but because of the lord's consideration..."
"Shut up! Don't say anything like this again, or I will kill you!"
Cao Cao stared at Sima Yi with a solemn gaze.
Sima Yi's heart skipped a beat, he didn't dare to say anything and quickly retreated.
Cao Cao sneered.
Before doing this, he might have been suspicious of Yang Ling.
But Yang Ling is already married to Cao Qing, and he knows the rules very well on weekdays, and basically doesn't do anything he shouldn't do.
In the future, after Cao Ang succeeds Cao Cao, he will need Yang Ling to help him stabilize the situation.
How could Cao Cao become suspicious of Yang Ling again just because of Sima Yi's few words?
After Sima Yi got off the boat, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief as he watched Cao Cao and others go away.
Only then did he realize that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, would trust Yang Ling so much.
I underestimated Yang Ling's importance to Cao Cao.
Anyway, there is still a long way to go.
One day, I will make Yang Ling pay the price for what he did before!
A cold light flashed in Sima Yi's eyes!
…
Yang Ling knew nothing about the conversation between Cao Cao and Sima Yi.
He took Zhou Cang, Zhen Mi and others on a small boat and sailed all the way out of Yecheng to the camp outside the city.
When Yang Ling walked into the camp, Guo Zhaozheng was talking to Ma Yunlu, and both women looked shy.
Just from their expressions, it was not difficult to imagine that they were talking about Yang Ling.
"My husband is back."
Seeing Yang Ling coming back, the two women hurriedly stood up and came to greet him.
Yang Ling nodded slightly.
At this moment, Zhen Mi and several maidservants also walked in.
"Husband...this is?"
Ma Yunlu said doubtfully.
Yang Ling thought for a while and told them Zhen Mi's identity.
Guo Zhao was very lucky to have become Yang Ling's concubine from a maidservant, so naturally she wouldn't care about it.
But Ma Yunlu is Ma Teng's beloved daughter, and she is somewhat disgusted.
However, she was Yang Ling's concubine now, so she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to say hello to Zhen Mi along with Guo Zhao.
Guo Zhao was very sensible and asked Ma Yunlu and several maids to get up and leave, leaving space for Yang Ling and Zhen Mi.
Yang Ling slowly sat down, looked at Zhen Mi who was still standing there with her head lowered, and said in a commanding tone,
"Keep your head up!"
Zhen Mi's delicate body trembled slightly, and she slowly raised her head, revealing a dreamlike face.
Yang Ling couldn't help but be stunned.
The beauties in his house were all famous beauties from the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.
If we really want to distinguish between them, Diao Chan is naturally the most beautiful.
However, Zhen Mi's beauty is on par with Diao Chan's!
Her face is as crystal clear as jade, like a crescent moon, like flowers and trees piled with snow. Her surroundings are gorgeous, her body is quiet and leisurely, and she is delicate and graceful. She is incomparably beautiful.
She is worthy of being a beauty who could fascinate Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and the Cao family, and even made Cao Zhi write the Luo Shen Fu for her!
It certainly lives up to its reputation!
You must become this Cao thief!
Yang Ling coughed lightly,
"Zhen Mi!"
"I'm here."
Zhen Mi's soft words made Yang Ling's bones go numb.
If you scream in bed...
He couldn't imagine it.
"Um...from today on, you are a member of my Yang family."
Yang Ling pretended to be normal.
"If you truly serve me, I will not treat you badly."
"But if you dare to have second thoughts, don't blame me for being rude!"
A hint of worry flashed across Zhen Mi's beautiful face, but she could only whisper,
"I know it."
Yang Ling originally wanted Zhen Mi to go to bed on the spot, but after taking a look at the sky outside, he gave up.
He has several beauties, how can he behave like a fledgling young man?
He called Guo Zhao and others in again and told them to take good care of Zhen Mi.
He got up and left the camp, wandering around.
Although the battle in Yecheng has been decided, Cao Jun is still not idle.
After all, there is still a lot of finishing work to be done.
Most of Cao's troops, under the command of their generals, blocked the dug Huan River and Yellow River.
"Xingba, Zilong!"
Yang Ling said hello to Gan Ning and Zhao Yun from afar.
"Brother!"
"Brother Ziyi!"
Seeing Yang Ling coming, they also came up to greet him.
"Congratulations to Brother Ziyi for gaining a new beautiful concubine."
Gan Ning smiled strangely and said,
"Why are you here if you don't pamper your beautiful concubine in the tent?"
"How can I, Yang Ling, leave my brothers behind and live happily on my own?"
Yang Ling said with an upright look.
"I think it's similar."
Gan Ning said seriously.
Everyone laughed.
They joked for a while, and then Yang Ling asked about serious matters.
"How long do you think it will take to complete the cleaning work?"
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and then said,
"It takes one month as quickly as possible and two months as slowly as possible to control the flood."
Although Yecheng has been captured, it does not mean that it is over.
After all, the Huanshui River and the Yellow River have been dug up. Unless Cao Cao does not plan to take Jizhou in the future, Ye City must be managed.
"It takes so long."
Yang Ling frowned slightly when he heard this.
At first, they only wanted to capture Yecheng in one fell swoop, but they didn't expect to create such a mess.
"There's nothing we can do about it. It's the rainy season recently. It will be fine after this period."
Gan Ning shrugged his shoulders.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Yang Ling nodded and walked up the hillside with Gan Ning and Zhao Yun, preparing to see the specific work.
Before he could walk up the hillside, a plant on the roadside caught his eye.
This plant has fluffy leaves, which are green and inconspicuous like other plants around it.
However, Yang Ling said "Hey" and squatted down to examine it carefully.
After a while, he couldn't help showing a look of ecstasy, laughing and standing up.
His move shocked Zhao Yun and Gan Ning next to him!
