But Xun Yu didn't think so. Every time he dealt with political affairs, he would send someone to call Yang Ling over.
No.
Today, Yang Ling was teasing Yang Lan, Yang Yuan, and Yang Yue at his house, enjoying the family happiness, but Xun Yu invited him over.
Looking at the official documents piled up like a mountain, Yang Ling felt a huge headache!
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside.
The two of them looked up and saw that Dian Wei had barged in with a dusty face!
"Second brother, why are you back?"
Yang Ling asked doubtfully.
"Brother, Duke Wei asked me to invite you to Nanyang County!"
Dian Wei said hastily.
When Yang Ling heard this, his heart sank.
Cao Cao didn't want to take him there this time because he didn't want him to continue to make military exploits.
But now that Dian Wei is sent back to invite him, there is only one possibility.
"But Wei Gong was defeated?"
"Brother is right."
Dian Wei nodded, sighed and said,
"Zhuge Liang set up an ambush, burned Wancheng, and took the opportunity to attack our army."
"Our army was defeated in the end, and even Duke Wei vomited blood and passed out!"
As soon as these words came out, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Zhong Yao and others in the hall were all stunned.
No one could have imagined that Cao Cao would personally take action with Guo Jia, Xia Houyuan and other civil servants and generals.
Even with all the elites of Cao Wei coming out, they were still defeated miserably by Liu Bei!
That Zhuge Liang...is that terrifying? !
Compared with them, Yang Ling was not that surprised.
After all, he had known for a long time that Zhuge Liang was as smart as a demon, otherwise he would not have defeated Cao Cao repeatedly and assisted Liu Bei in establishing the Shu Han.
But what he didn't expect was that despite his repeated warnings, Cao Cao would still be defeated by Zhuge Liang's fire attack.
It’s so saponifying!
"Xun Lingjun, everyone, please take the first step."
Yang Ling sighed and stood up.
Contrary to Boss Cao's previous attitude, Yang Ling really had the urge to pretend to be sick at home.
But the war is urgent now, otherwise Boss Cao would not send Dian Wei over to invite him.
So after thinking about it, Yang Ling calmed down.
After returning to his house, he asked Cao Qing and other women to pack their luggage, while asking Zhou Cang to invite Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others.
Due to his good relationship with Yang Ling, Cao Cao did not take Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, and Ma Chao with him when he went to Wancheng this time.
As for Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong, they were also sent to guard Hefei.
Just in case Sun Quan saw Liu Bei attacking Cao Cao and was ready to take action.
"Brother Ziyi, what are you doing?"
Looking at Yang Ling's packed luggage, Gan Ning felt a little strange.
When he saw Dian Wei beside him, he became even more confused.
"Brother Dian, didn't you follow Duke Wei to Wancheng? Why are you back now?"
However, Zhao Yun on the side reacted very quickly, looked at Yang Ling and said,
"Brother, could it be that the war ahead is tense and Duke Wei sent someone to invite you over?"
"Zilong is right."
Yang Ling nodded and briefly told about Zhuge Liang's burning of Wancheng and the defeat of Cao's army.
After everyone heard this, they were shocked that Zhuge Liang had evil plans, but they also secretly admired Yang Ling.
After all, Yang Ling had said many times that Zhuge Liang had a plan and he had to be careful!
"Hey, why didn't Mr. Wei listen to Brother Ziyi's reminder?"
Gan Ning couldn't help but shook his head and said,
"If he had listened, how could he have been defeated today?"
"Xingba be careful what you say!"
Yang Ling wanted to cover Gan Ning's mouth and quickly reminded him.
If such words reach Boss Cao's ears, he will not have a good life in the future!
Gan Ning also reacted and laughed dryly,
"I'm too talkative!"
"Okay, you guys should go back and pack your things, let's get ready to go!"
Yang Ling said.
After everything was sorted, Yang Ling took Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others to leave Xudu.
Their group was small and moved quickly. Within a day or two, they entered the territory of Nanyang County.
But to Yang Ling's surprise, Cao Cao had led his army and retreated to Ye County.
Cao Jun's camp in Ye County.
After learning about Yang Ling's arrival, Xiahou Dun, Guo Jia and others came out to greet him in person.
"Brother Ziyi!"
"General with great facial features!"
"Ziyi!"
Yang Ling smiled and greeted them one by one.
After the greetings were over, Xiahou Dun took him to the military camp.
"General Yuan Rang, aren't you in Bowang County? Why did you retreat to Ye County again?"
Yang Ling said a little strangely.
"Zi Yi didn't know something. A few days ago, Liu Biao supported Liu Bei with 20,000 troops."
Xiahou Dun smiled bitterly.
Zhuge Liang used two fires to defeat hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops.
While his reputation rose, Liu Biao and others also saw the hope of defeating the Cao thieves and reviving the Han Dynasty.
So at the suggestion of a group of nobles in Jingzhou, Liu Biao sent another 20,000 troops to Wancheng.
Including his original troops and horses, Liu Bei suddenly had an army of fifty thousand.
This gave him a lot of confidence, so he sent his troops northward!
On the other hand, Cao Cao's army was in low morale after losing troops and generals, and Cao Cao himself was even more unwell.
In desperation, Xiahou Dun could only retreat to Ye County with everyone.
If Yang Ling didn't arrive today, they were ready to withdraw from Nanyang County directly.
Is the situation so urgent?
Yang Ling was a little surprised, and the pace of his steps accelerated a lot.
Soon they came to Cao Cao's tent.
After the guard made the announcement, Yang Ling and others walked into the camp and saw Cao Cao.
Compared with the high spirits when he set off from Xudu, Cao Cao was undoubtedly much more haggard at this time.
His eyes were dull and his face was pale.
Seeing Yang Ling's arrival, Cao Cao forced a smile on his face.
"Zi Yi is here!"
"My subordinates have met Mr. Wei!"
Yang Ling quickly saluted.
"No need to be polite, please sit down."
After Cao Cao greeted Yang Ling to sit down, he said to Cao Pi and others beside him,
"You all should step aside first, and Rong Gu will talk to Ziyi privately."
Although Cao Pi was unwilling to do so, he could only accept the order and exit the camp with the others.
When only two people were left, Cao Cao sighed deeply and said guiltily,
"Gu failed to reuse Ziyi and failed to listen to Ziyi's advice, which led to today's defeat. I hope Ziyi will not resent Gu in his heart."
Since Chen Liu raised his army, Yang Ling followed Cao Cao in his expeditions east and west, going through life and death for so many years.
But Cao Cao suppressed Yang Ling in order to make Cao Pi better able to succeed him.
To be honest, of course Yang Ling was unhappy!
But seeing Cao Cao looking so desolate, the complaints in his heart disappeared.
"My father-in-law said something serious. After all, we are still a family. How can I resent my father-in-law?"
Yang Ling comforted him with kind words.
After hearing what he said, Cao Cao looked much better and said with a wry smile,
"I invite you here this time because I hope you can turn the tide and save the situation!"
Cao Cao now controls several states and is powerful.
Although they lost two games in a row in Wancheng and lost troops and generals, it was not to the point of damaging their muscles and bones.
But the more troublesome thing is that the situation is a bit unfavorable to Cao Cao.
