"what's the plan?"
Cao Pi asked subconsciously.
"If we secretly reveal Yang Ling's troop formation plan to Yuan Xi and make him frustrated, wouldn't it be easy?"
Sima Yi smiled sadly.
Cao Pi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head decisively and said,
"This plan is inappropriate!"
He is small-minded, not short-minded.
No matter how much he hated Yang Ling, he knew in his heart that the more battles Yang Ling won, the more benefits the Cao family would get.
He was out of his mind, so he tried to hold Yang Ling back.
"It's my subordinate Meng Lang."
Sima Yi quickly handed over his hand and admitted his mistake, but he didn't think so in his heart.
After all, he is not from the Cao family.
As long as he can attack Yang Ling, he will do whatever it takes!
"Okay, don't mention things like this again in the future!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
The next day.
After Yang Ling ordered all the soldiers and horses, he left Zhuo County and went straight to Jixian County.
As soon as there was movement on Cao Jun's side, Yuan Xi, who was stationed in Guangyang, received the news.
He immediately invited all his soldiers and King Nanlou to his residence to discuss military matters.
"Look, Yang Ling is coming in force, how should we deal with it?"
Yuan Xi asked.
Although he had just won a great victory over Cao's army, he later understood that it was not Yang Ling who commanded Cao's army, but the fledgling Cao Pi.
Now facing Yang Ling, he still felt unsure.
After all, Yang Ling was famous, and Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Gao Gan and others were all defeated by him.
"He came just in time. I will avenge my Wuhuan warriors!"
King Nanlou said with murderous intent.
During the last pursuit of Cao's army, not only Zhao Rui died in battle, but also more than a thousand Wuhuan people were killed or wounded.
This made Nan Lou Wang very distressed, and he had already secretly hated Yang Ling.
Now that he has the opportunity to take revenge, he will naturally not hesitate!
"King Nanlou, my lord and Yang Ling also have a deep hatred, but we must not be careless and must be careful."
Sui Yuanjin reminded.
"General Sui is right."
Yuan Xi on the side nodded and asked,
"I wonder if General Sui has any ideas?"
Sui Yuanjin thought for a while and then said,
"I think we must fight in the field and not defend the city, otherwise we will not be able to exert the power of the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry."
"What General Sui said is exactly what I want!"
King Nanlou smiled and nodded.
They Wuhuan people are all cavalry. If they hold on to the city, they can only stare.
"But our military strength is not superior. If we fight in the field, will we be Cao's opponent?"
Yuan Xi said worriedly.
"Why not?"
King Nanlou smiled proudly and said,
"The previous 80,000 Cao troops were no match for us, let alone these 40,000!"
"Don't forget, our Wuhuan cavalry are invincible in the world. Didn't Cao Cao's so-called tiger and leopard cavalry also lose under the iron hoof of our Wuhuan people?"
Yuan Xi thought about it carefully and found that this was also the case.
In addition, he remembered that when Yang Ling attacked Shouchun before, he had used some unknown and powerful device to destroy Shouchun's city wall in one fell swoop.
Compared with Shouchun, Guangyang City is far behind.
If we insist on defending the city, we might be beaten to death!
"Okay, then let's go out of the city and fight to the death with Yang Ling!"
Yuan Xi nodded heavily.
…
Yang Ling led Cao's army non-stop all the way to Liangxiang County.
As early as after Zhuoxian was captured, all the soldiers and civilians in Liangxiang City had been evacuated.
When Yang Ling and others arrived, only an empty city remained.
Cao Jun had just rested for a moment when news came from the scouts over there that Yuan Jun had marched out from Guangyang City in full force and was waiting in formation halfway, as if he was going to fight Yang Ling to the death!
"Military advisor, the general advises us to stay away from the enemy for the time being."
Gan Ning, who had always been bold and bold, rarely offered to avoid fighting.
the reason is simple.
They had just experienced a major defeat. Although they had rested for many days, the morale of the army was still low.
The most important thing is that Cao Jun's cavalry suffered heavy losses in the last battle.
And most of Yuan Xi's army were Wuhuan cavalry.
It would be unwise to fight with them outside the city.
However, Yang Ling smiled slightly,
"Now that Yuan Xi has taken the initiative to seek a battle with our army, how can I not disappoint him?"
"If we win this battle, Youzhou will be pacified, and we can return to Xudu as soon as possible."
Cao Pi on the side frowned and couldn't help but said,
"Having said that, we can't be too hasty. The Wuhuan people's cavalry is still quite powerful."
Yang Ling glanced at him and laughed disdainfully,
"In the eyes of the Crown Prince, maybe the Wuhuan cavalry are very powerful, but in my opinion, they are just chickens and dogs!"
When Cao Pi heard this, his face turned red instantly. He wanted to refute something, but he couldn't.
Who let it be that he was the one who was defeated by the Wuhuan people before?
Sima Yi on the side naturally would not sit back and watch his master suffer, so he quickly said coldly,
"Military advisor, Your Majesty is just showing good intentions. After all, we all serve the imperial court and Duke Wei."
"You don't need to say anything. If anything goes wrong, I will bear the responsibility from Wei Gong."
Yang Ling said calmly.
"Okay! I'll wait for the news of the military advisor's triumphant return!"
Cao Pi gritted his teeth and glared at Yang Ling, then angrily turned around and left with Sima Yi and Zhen Yao.
After they left, Zhao Yun stepped forward and said softly,
"Brother, do you really want to go out of the city to fight Yuan Xi?"
"good."
Yang Ling smiled and comforted,
"Actually, you don't need to be nervous. The strength of our army is actually far better than the coalition forces of Yuan Xi and the Wuhuan people."
Although the Wuhuan cavalry are invincible in the world, Cao Cao's army was trained according to Yang Ling's military training methods.
Coupled with so many years of conquests in the north and south, the combat effectiveness is definitely the first among the armies in the world.
It's just that one soldier is raging, and a general is raging in a nest.
It was all because of Cao Pi that led to the last defeat.
Moreover, although Cao Pi failed, Yang Ling's 20,000 troops and horses were not lost.
Those are his old bases, including Gao Shun's trap camp, Gan Ning's Bazi camp, and Zhao Yun's Yunzi camp.
These are the best of the best!
Seeing everyone still a little worried, Yang Ling thought about it and smiled mysteriously,
"I forgot to tell you, I actually have another secret weapon."
Secret weapon?
When they heard this word, everyone was confused.
It was Zhao Yun who reacted first and said in surprise,
"Could it be that eldest brother is talking about..."
"Yes, that's exactly what it is."
Yang Ling chuckled,
"Just relax! Okay, it's getting late. You gather the troops quickly. I'm going to give you a pre-battle training!"
"yes!"
Everyone bowed their hands, stood up and left the hall.
After going out, Gan Ning couldn't wait to say,
"Brother Zilong, what secret weapon has your eldest brother prepared?"
"Yes, he is so sure that he can defeat the Wuhuan people?"
Gao Shun, who had always been calm, also had a curious look on his face.
