"It's just that the eldest brother has his own beauty skills. The sisters-in-law are also beautiful and are not too old at all."
Speaking of these, Xu Chu looked envious.
He and Yang Ling were only a few years apart in age, but years of military service and exposure to wind and sun made him look particularly old.
If he stands with Yang Ling, if he is Yang Ling's elder, some people will definitely believe him.
"This is the unique secret of my Yang family and cannot be passed on to others!"
Yang Ling pretended to smile mysteriously.
Speaking of which, he can remain so young thanks to the Fangzhong technique taught by Zuo Ci.
After practicing, I not only feel refreshed and energetic, but also become good in bed, and I also stay young.
And all his wives and concubines were able to stay young and immortal after receiving his essence.
This really surprised Yang Ling.
If you have the chance to meet Zuo Ci again, you must thank him.
Yang Ling thought to himself.
At this moment, Pei Yuanshao was seen galloping from the direction of Xudu on horseback.
When he arrived near the pavilion, he reined in the reins, jumped off the horse, and strode closer.
"General, this is a letter from Mr. Shiyuan from Jiangling."
Yang Ling took the letter from Pei Yuanshao, rolled his eyes casually, and frowned instantly.
"Brother, what happened to Mr. Shiyuan?"
Xu Chu asked curiously.
"Could it be Sima Yi, making some little trick?"
Dian Wei also asked.
Yang Ling put down the letter, sneered, and told several people the contents of Pang Tong's letter.
"This guy is really hateful. He just suppressed Mr. Shiyuan and the others, but he actually took the initiative to send troops to attack Liu Bei and the others!"
"He thinks he is our eldest brother. With his ability, how can he be the opponent of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu?"
Dian Wei and Xu Chu complained dissatisfiedly.
"It is the rainy season in the south, and Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are both extremely smart people."
"If Sima Yi rushes to send troops, I'm afraid he will be defeated miserably!"
"Brother, do you want to find a way to stop him?"
Zhao Yun looked at Yang Ling with a serious expression.
"It's not necessary."
Yang Ling smiled and waved his hand.
Yang Ling was not surprised that Sima Yi suppressed his direct descendants.
But he was surprised that Sima Yi would be so unwise and choose to take the initiative to send troops.
You must know that Sima Yi in history was a cunning and extremely tolerant master.
If he can make him give up his persistence and take the initiative, I'm afraid Cao Pi will put pressure on him.
In this case, if Yang Ling tried to stop it, it would probably make Cao Pi even more unhappy!
If Cao Cao were in charge, Yang Ling might try to stop it.
But now that Cao Pi is the emperor, Yang Ling can only choose to respect the fate of others!
Moreover, Pang Tong and others have already applied to be transferred back to Jiangling. If they are really defeated, there is no need to worry about anything happening to them.
"Come on, let's just drink today and don't talk about anything else."
Yang Ling smiled and invited everyone to drink.
…
Time flies, and it’s the end of the month.
For more than half a month, Sima Yi has chosen not to leave.
Even though official documents came one after another from Xudu, he just refused and said that the time had not come yet.
"Second brother, you have not sent troops, I am afraid that His Majesty will be unhappy."
Sima Fu was a little worried.
"The time has not come yet, so naturally we cannot send troops."
Sima Yi chuckled.
"What time is it? Could it be that the rain has stopped?"
Sima Kui touched his chin and said doubtfully.
"No, when the time comes, you will naturally know."
Sima Yi just smiled and did not explain.
At this moment, a sergeant opened the camp curtain and walked in.
"Reporting to General Zhengnan, another official document has been sent from the court."
After Sima Yi took it, he read it carefully and then laughed and said,
"The time has come, we can send troops!"
Hearing what he said, the two brothers Sima Fu and Sima Kui were even more confused.
"Second brother, why is this?"
"Yes, you just said that the time has not come yet, why did the time suddenly come?"
After Sima Yi asked the sergeant to go down, he pointed to the official document in his hand and motioned to his two younger brothers to come forward and read it.
This official document was written by Cao Pi himself. Sima Yi pointed to a line that read:
"Even if Zhongda sends troops, if something unexpected happens, I will never blame you!"
Only then did the two younger brothers suddenly realize.
"It turns out that second brother is waiting for your Majesty's words!"
"good!"
Sima Yi smiled and nodded.
Nowadays, it is raining continuously, which is quite unfavorable for Cao Jun's active attack.
He didn't want to bear the responsibility of defeat, so he kept his troops stationary and waited for Cao Pi's promise.
With Cao Pi's words, he has nothing to worry about!
"Come here, send an order to Wen Ze and Jun Yi, asking them to be the vanguard of our army to attack Jiangxia!"
As early as a few days ago, the other four members of Wu Ziliang, except Zhang Liao, had arrived in Xiajun County and were waiting for Sima Yi's dispatch.
After receiving Sima Yi's military order, Yu Jin and Zhang He did not hesitate and immediately led Cao's army to attack Jiangxia.
The incident happened suddenly, and the Sun-Liu coalition did not expect that Cao's army would make a surprise attack during the rainy season.
As a result, after losing several county towns one after another, Sun Quan, Liu Bei and others in Fankou reacted.
"What do you think of Cao's army taking the initiative to march?"
Sun Quan looked up at everyone and asked in a deep voice.
But he saw Zhuge Liang gently shaking his feather fan and said with a smile,
"Reporting to Marquis Wu, Yiliang thinks this is a good thing!"
"A good thing? We lost several cities in succession. Is this considered a good thing?"
Sun Quan said displeasedly.
"Marquis Wu, please be patient and listen to Liang speak slowly."
Zhuge Liang paused and analyzed for everyone.
"If Cao's army can't hold on, it will be really difficult to attack hard with the strength of our two armies."
"Now that Cao Jun is taking the initiative to attack, it gives us a chance to defeat them!"
"More importantly, the person leading the army is not Yang Ling, but Sima Yi."
"Although this person is talented, he is far from Yang Ling."
"Wu Hou thinks now, isn't this a good thing?"
Zhuge Liang's analysis made everyone nod slightly in agreement.
"Having said that, how to defeat Cao's army?"
Zhou Yu asked.
"It's very simple, treat others in their own way!"
Zhuge Liang walked to the map and said calmly,
"Yang Ling was able to cut off our retreat before. Why can't we follow his example and cut off Cao's army's retreat?"
As soon as these words came out, others did not react, but Zhou Yu's eyes lit up.
"Kong Ming's intention is to lure the enemy deeper and then cut off Sima Yi's retreat from the waterway?"
"Gong Jin is indeed smart!"
Zhuge Liang smiled and complimented, then looked at Liu Bei and Sun Quan,
"I wonder what my lord and Wu Hou mean?"
"Everything must be obeyed by the military advisor!"
Liu Bei trusts Zhuge Liang quite a bit, but it doesn't matter.
Sun Quan hesitated and looked at Zhou Yu aside.
When he saw Zhou Yu nodded slightly, he nodded in agreement and said,
"Everything is according to Mr. Kong Ming's instructions."
