Behind the battlefield, Cao Pi, who had witnessed the whole process, looked slightly ugly.
He never imagined that Yuan Xi and the Wuhuan people who had defeated him would be defeated by Yang Ling so easily!
Such a comparison makes him look too incompetent!
Sima Yi on the side saw Cao Pi's thoughts and comforted him with kind words,
"Yang Ling is just relying on grotesque skills, not really any real ability!"
"If the prince had such a powerful weapon, of course he would be able to achieve the same results."
"Besides, even if Yang Ling defeats Yuan Xi, so what, doesn't the crowning glory still belong to the prince?"
After listening to his words, Cao Pi's face looked much better, he nodded and said,
"What Zhongda said is not unreasonable."
…
The war has developed to this point, Cao Jun's victory has been determined, and the next step is to pursue the victory.
Zhang Liao, Cao Zhen and other generals were holding back their anger and pursued Yuan Xi and the Wuhuan people all the way.
The panicked Yuan Xi, fearing that Cao Jun would catch up, did not even dare to stay in Guangyang City, so he fled towards Jixian County in a hurry.
Cao Jun took advantage of the situation and captured Guangyang County. After resting in the city for a day, he sent his troops north and headed straight for Jixian County!
It is ten miles outside Ji County.
Yang Ling was leading the army and was walking slowly.
At this moment, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats.
But it was Gan Ning, the vanguard general, who came over with his men.
"Xingba, how is the situation in Ji County?"
"Don't mention it, Yuan Xi has already escaped!"
Gan Ning said with an angry look on his face.
In the decisive battle two days ago, Yuan Xi and the Wuhuan people were beaten away before he could take action.
Today, I finally got the responsibility of the vanguard general from Ma Chao and Zhang Liao.
But he didn't expect that when he led his troops to Jixian, the city gate was wide open and Yuan Xi had already fled with his people.
This made him very depressed!
"Don't worry, Xing Ba, you will fight the battle!"
Yang Ling laughed loudly and ordered the army to speed up their pace.
Not long after, their group arrived at Jixian County.
A group of officials from Jixian County had already fled with Yuan Xi.
However, there were still many powerful families in the city and they did not choose to escape.
After learning that Yang Ling and Cao Jun had arrived, they all gathered at the city gate and waited quietly.
"I've seen the general with great facial features!"
"You don't have to be polite!"
Yang Ling smiled and waved to them,
"Previously, you were only forced by the situation to commit yourself to thieves!"
"In the future, you only need to draw a clear line between you and the traitor Yuan, and the court will not hold you accountable!"
After hearing his words, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
They were afraid that Yang Ling would wantonly get involved.
Like stars over the moon, the crowd surrounded Yang Ling and walked toward the center of the city, completely ignoring Cao Pi, the crown prince.
This made him so angry!
But with so many people present, Cao Pi couldn't say anything and could only follow them with a gloomy face.
When everyone arrived at the governor's house and took their seats, Yang Ling pointed at Cao Pi and introduced to everyone with a smile,
"This is Duke Wei's eldest son, Master Zihuan!"
Everyone woke up from a dream and stood up to salute Cao Pi.
"I've met the crown prince!"
"You are Welcome!"
A smile broke out on Cao Pi's face.
After sitting down again, Yang Ling also started chatting with everyone.
During the conversation, Yang Ling also learned that Yuan Xi did not stay too long after escaping back to Jixian.
He packed his bags, took his family and the rest of the army, and left Jixian.
As for where he went, no one knows.
"I see."
Yang Ling nodded.
At this moment, Pei Yuanshao strode in,
"Reporting to the military advisor, there is someone outside the door who claims to be Yuyang Prefect Xian Yufu. He brings Chang Shi Tianyu and Wuhuan Colonel Yan Rou to ask to see the military advisor!"
Yang Ling's heart moved and she quickly said,
"Invite them in quickly!"
"yes!"
Pei Yuanshao handed over and left.
After a while, he turned back again, but there were three more figures behind him.
"I've met the crown prince!"
The three of them bowed to Yang Ling and introduced their identities.
The leader had a rugged appearance and resolute eyes. He was Xian Yufu, who had served as the prefect of Yuyang, and was later appointed by Cao Cao as General Jianzhong, who oversaw the military affairs of the six counties in Youzhou.
Among the two people behind, the younger one, dressed as a Wuhuan man, was Yan Rou, who was named the Wuhuan Colonel by Cao Cao.
Although the other man looked a bit unattractive, his eyes were full of sparkle.
He is Xian Yufu’s subordinate, Prefecture Chief Shi Tianyu!
"Three great names have already been heard by me for a long time. I am truly lucky to meet them today!"
Yang Ling greeted them with a smile.
He is not praising these three people, but these three people are all famous people in history!
Xian Yufu was originally a subordinate of Liu Yu. After Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zan, he, Tian Yu and Yan Rou gathered Hu people and Han people, and Yuan Shao's generals jointly attacked Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan's defeat was inseparable from him.
Until the late Three Kingdoms period, Cao Pi sent him to Shu Han to persuade Zhuge Liang to surrender.
Yan Rou was a prisoner in Wuwan and Xianbei since she was a child, and was later closely trusted by the two tribes.
After Cao Cao defeated the Yuan family, Yan Rou led Wuwan, Xianbei and others to surrender, and also dedicated his famous horses to follow Wuwan in the three counties of Wuwan. In the battle of Bailang Mountain, under the command of general Zhang Liao, he defeated Wuhuan!
Yan Cao Cao treated him like a son, and Cao Pi also regarded him as a brother, and ordered him to guard the north and command the troops of Youzhou.
Tian Yu then became even more famous.
When Liu Bei defected to Gongsun Zan in his early years, he valued Tian Yu's talents very much and wanted to recruit him into his army.
It's just that Liu Bei was going to be the governor of Yuzhou, but Tian Yu asked to return home because his mother was old.
When the two parted, Liu Bei burst into tears and said, "I wish I could accomplish great things with you."
Tian Yu is not only good at internal affairs, but also a good hand at war.
During the nine years he served as the captain of Huwuwan, he was so powerful in northern Xinjiang that neither Wuhuan nor Xianbei dared to invade.
It can be said that with the help of these three people, most of Youzhou can be pacified!
"Compared with the generals with great facial features, we are nothing more than a mere name."
Xian Yufu smiled modestly and followed,
"This time I come to see General Wu Guanzhonglang, and we have a big gift to offer!"
He said and nodded to Tian Yu who was aside.
Tian Yu slowly walked forward and presented a baggage he was carrying behind him.
After opening it, Yang Ling found that it contained a large seal representing the governor of Youzhou.
"This is……"
"Reporting to General Wu Gen Zhonglang, we originally organized our troops and horses to support General Wu Gen Zhong Lang."
Tian Yu explained,
"But I didn't expect that Wu Guan Zhong Lang would be so skilled in using troops and defeated Yuan Xi in a short time."
"After learning about Yuan Xi's defeat, we expected that he would defect to the Wuhuan people."
"So we set up an ambush along the way and launched an ambush on Yuan Xi!"
