When he went to Nanyang County to conquer Liu Bei, Cao Cao tried to suppress Yang Ling.
However, he and Cao Pi failed to live up to expectations, and in Zhuge Liang's hands, he had no choice but to invite Yang Ling out again.
Nowadays, Cao Cao is old, and due to the defeat of Wancheng, his health is not as good as before, and he is unable to conquer the four directions anymore.
If he wants to dominate the world, the only one he can count on is Yang Ling!
"Do you have any ideas?"
Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked at Cao Pi.
"The child actually understands his father's thoughts."
Cao Pi said calmly,
"Now that the four parties are undecided, if our Cao family wants to dominate the world, we must rely on Yang Ling's talents. It's better to let him do it!"
Hearing this, a look of doubt flashed across Cao Cao's face.
"Aren't you afraid of him..."
"Of course I'm afraid."
Cao Pi smiled and continued,
"So father must be fully prepared and be careful to prevent him from relying on his own troops!"
"In addition, we must also reward him generously to show the favor our Cao family has for him!"
"Isn't he always fond of beauty? Let's start from this point."
"Xianmei, Jiemei, and Huamei have just reached the age of marriage. Why not marry all three of them to Yang Ling."
"For a boy from a poor family, what an honor it is for him to marry four girls from our Cao family at the same time?"
"If he really dares to do anything strange in the future, everyone in the world will scold him!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he was furious.
"You bastard, you actually want to sacrifice your sisters' happiness?!"
"Father, calm down! It is worth making some necessary sacrifices for the long-term foundation of our Cao family."
"Not to mention Xian Mei, Jie Mei, and Hua Mei. Even when Yu Mei and Yan Mei are old enough, it is not impossible to marry them to Yang Ling."
"Besides, doesn't father know what Xian Mei and the other three are thinking?"
The Yumei and Yanmei mentioned by Cao Pi are respectively the Anyang princess Cao Yu who married Xun Yun, the son of Xun Yu in history, and the Jinxiang princess Cao Yan who married He Yan.
After listening to Cao Pi's words, Cao Cao remained silent.
There is nothing better than a father who knows a daughter.
Cao Xian, Cao Hua, and Cao Jie have long had deep feelings for Yang Ling.
Whenever Yang Ling came to visit Cao Cao, they would make excuses to come and take a look.
Whenever Cao Cao wanted to betroth them to someone else, they would refuse.
Cao Cao knew exactly what the three of them were thinking.
And as Cao Pi said, a true hero can laugh at the hatred of killing his father and wife, let alone sacrifice the happiness of several daughters for the great cause.
"Father already knows this matter, so don't mention it again."
Cao Cao ordered.
"I know, kid."
Cao Pi said no more and nodded.
"It seems that you have made some progress during this time."
In Cao Cao's mind, Cao Pi was not the most suitable successor.
However, Cao Ang died of illness, and he had no choice but to choose Cao Pi as his heir apparent.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao was impressed by the vision and thoughts shown by Cao Pi today!
"Father deserves a reward."
Cao Pi suppressed the excitement in his heart and said modestly.
Cao Cao warned Cao Pi a few more words before waving him off.
After leaving Duke Wei's mansion and meeting Sima Yi, Chen Qun and others waiting outside the door, Cao Pi couldn't help laughing and said,
"Zhongda, thanks to you, my father just praised me!"
good.
The content of Cao Pi's conversation with Cao Cao just now was all according to Sima Yi's wishes.
"Congratulations to the Crown Prince, congratulations to the Crown Prince!"
Sima Yi also smiled and congratulated.
"According to my father's wishes, I plan to follow Zhongda's method. It's just a pity that my three sisters want to take advantage of that bastard Yang Ling."
Cao Pi snorted with some displeasure while leading Sima Yi and others towards the Prince's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, a little impatience will ruin a big plan."
Sima Yi said softly.
"you are right!"
Cao Pi took a long breath, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that Yang Ling was at the height of his power, Cao Wei really couldn't do without Yang Ling, so at Sima Yi's suggestion, Cao Pi finally decided to endure it.
Before he succeeded Cao Cao and unified the world, he not only did anything disadvantageous to Yang Ling, but even gave Yang Ling preferential treatment and rewards.
But when the world is settled, he will definitely let Yang Ling know what cruelty means!
…
Liangzhou.
After putting down the rebellion, Yang Ling did not leave in a hurry, but chose to stay temporarily and help Ma Teng deal with local affairs.
He waited until nearly a month had passed and the affairs in Liangzhou had stabilized before he set off.
Outside Ji County.
"Father, you must take care of yourself in Liangzhou."
"Yes, don't let Ha'er and Yunlu worry."
On the occasion of parting, brother and sister Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu reluctantly bid farewell to Ma Teng.
Especially Ma Yunlu was in tears.
Liangzhou is thousands of miles away from Xudu. If it weren't for Han Sui's rebellion, Ma Yunlu would never have the chance to meet Ma Teng again.
After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again.
"Don't worry, your father can take care of himself. But you, when you are with the general, you must obey him in everything."
Ma Teng smiled and said to Yang Ling,
"General, I have a favor to ask you!"
"Father-in-law, please speak."
"Ling Ming!"
Ma Teng turned his head and shouted.
Pang De, who was behind, was slightly startled and stepped forward.
"What is the governor's order?"
"Ling Ming is brave and good at fighting, and he is the best in the three armies. It's unfair for him to be with me all the time. If the general doesn't despise him, let him follow you."
As soon as Ma Teng finished speaking, before Yang Ling could speak, Pang De beside him suddenly became anxious.
"Provincial Governor, how can this be done? How can the general be the kind of person who covets glory and wealth?"
"Ling Ming!"
Ma Teng patted his shoulder and sighed,
"With your talents, staying in Liangzhou will only waste your time. It is better to follow the general and make achievements!"
Now that Ma Teng has surrendered to the court, there is no good future for Pound if he continues to stay with him.
But if you follow Yang Ling, it will be different. It is not impossible to become a marquis and a general!
Seeing Ma Teng's resolute attitude, Pound was stunned for a moment, with tears in his eyes, and then he saluted him.
"The general will thank the governor!"
"I hope the general can take care of Ling Ming."
Ma Teng said sincerely.
"Please rest assured, father-in-law, I will definitely not treat General Lingming badly."
Yang Ling also said it seriously.
"From now on, whenever the general is ordered, he will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Pang De bowed to Yang Ling.
"General Ling Ming is too polite!"
Yang Ling helped him up with a smile on his face.
Gallop on the battlefield and kill the enemy without fear!
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Pound is a famous general!
During the Battle of Tongguan and Weishui, he came up with a strange plan and killed Zhong Jin with one sword. He also killed many military schools and cut off the locks to help Ma Chao seize the city of Chang'an!
