"This... what should I do if the general has any shortcomings?"
Wei Yan said worriedly.
"Chang Wen, you have such a crow's mouth, don't curse the general!"
Ma Chao on the side quickly stopped him.
"My, my, my, bah, bah, bah! General Jiren has his own destiny, I believe he will be cured soon."
Wei Yan quickly changed his words.
Pang Tong smiled and comforted everyone.
"Don't worry, everyone, I asked General Zhou Cang."
"He said that the general's condition is good, but he needs to rest in bed and cannot meet with outsiders!"
After hearing what he said, everyone felt relieved and left.
After they left, the smile on Pang Tong's face gradually disappeared.
He pondered for a while, then stood up and walked towards the backyard.
But before Pang Tong could approach Yang Ling's residence, he was blocked by Zhou Cang and a group of guards.
"I've seen the military advisor! What's the matter with the military advisor?"
"The general has not shown up for half a month, and the officials and soldiers in the city are extremely worried."
Pang Tong explained,
"I wonder if the general's condition has improved?"
"Please rest assured, military advisor, the general is in good condition."
"Then I wonder when the general can go out?"
"Well, I can't say for sure."
Zhou Cang shook his head.
"Okay, then please, General Zhou. If anything happens to the general, please inform me in time."
Pang Tong nodded and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Zhou Cang suddenly seemed to remember something and took out a brochure bag from his arms.
"Military advisor, the general asked the last general to give this to you."
"He specifically asked you to wait until the time is right before you open this bag of tips."
When Pang Tong heard this, he looked a little confused, but he didn't say much. He just took the kit and turned to leave.
When he returned to his residence, Pang Tong looked at the small bag of tips in his hand, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
He didn't think that Yang Ling hadn't shown up for half a month because he was ill and had been resting in bed.
joke.
With the physique Yang Ling showed on weekdays, how could he possibly get sick?
Even if you are really sick, you won't be denied visits from outsiders.
Then there is only one possibility, he does not want outsiders to know his movements.
So he used illness as an excuse to leave Jiangling secretly.
Pang Tong thought to himself, but shook his head and denied his idea.
Yang Ling needs to stay in Jingzhou to prevent Liu Bei and Sun Quan from continuing to go north. How can he leave Jiangling?
Besides, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others who were close to him were still in Jiangling.
Cao's army in the city showed no signs of mobilization.
Where could he go?
There is also this tip bag he gave himself, saying that he would open it when the time is right.
But the question is, when is the time right?
Pang Tong speculated on Yang Ling's thoughts until his head became dizzy, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.
He could only sigh and stop thinking about it!
…
At the same time, Yang Ling, who had been worried about everyone in Jiangling, was riding on the official road in southern Henan.
"Xu..."
Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Ling grabbed the reins and said to Gan Ning next to him,
"It's getting late, let's find a place to rest."
"okay!"
Gan Ning agreed immediately.
Then the two found a small valley as a camping spot for the night.
When night fell, they lit a bonfire and ate dry food around the bonfire.
"How many days will it take to reach Hefei?"
Yang Ling swallowed the dry food in his mouth and looked at Gan Ning.
Gan Ning muttered,
"According to our current itinerary, it is estimated that we will arrive in Hefei in four or five days at most."
Yes, just as Pang Tong speculated, Yang Ling did leave Jiangling!
As early as when he was in Xudu, he had considered how to reverse the situation in Jingzhou.
It's just that given the current situation, it's really difficult.
After all, letting Wei Yan pretend to surrender and lure the Sun and Liu coalition forces into a trap is really a rare thing.
We can only wait until the navy is reorganized before attacking the Sun-Liu coalition force.
But such a plan is obviously not in line with Yang Ling's combat style.
After some careful consideration, he finally set his sights on Huainan!
If Cao Jun wanted to cross the river south, he would have to take more than one route to Jingzhou.
If the troops leave Huainan and capture Ruxukou, they can go straight to Jianye, the home base in Jiangdong!
But compared with Jingzhou, this route is undoubtedly more risky.
After all, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River are vast and extremely suitable for Jiangdong naval operations!
Without the support of a powerful navy, it would be very difficult to cross the river!
But now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Previously, the two sides fought successive battles around Jingzhou.
Now that Yang Ling has returned to Jiangling, the Sun-Liu coalition is even more nervous, and all their attention is on Jingzhou.
It was a good time for Cao's army to set out from Hefei and surprise Ruxukou!
So Yang Ling pretended to be ill and took bed rest, secretly left Jiangling and went straight to Hefei.
In order not to alert others, apart from Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, Yang Ling did not even inform Dian Wei and Xu Chu, just because he didn't want the news to leak out!
You know, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are both very wise and almost evil people.
As long as there are some signs of trouble, it is possible for them to guess.
As for taking Gan Ning with him, it was because he was good at water fighting.
Whether it is the attack on Ruxukou or the subsequent attack on Jianye, he needs to be in charge!
"Hehe, even if Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu were killed, they would never have imagined that brother Ziyi would come to attack the east and the west with one move!"
Gan Ning grinned and said,
"When it comes to intrigues, Ziyi is the expert!"
Yang Ling's face darkened.
Why do your words sound like curses?
"Okay, let's take a rest after eating, we have to go on the road tomorrow!"
When they woke up in the morning, they took a shower and then continued their journey.
After rushing all the way, they finally arrived at the foot of Hefei City.
Hefei was originally just a small city. After it was captured by Yang Ling, Cao Cao also repaired and reinforced it many times.
Nowadays, the city wall is high and deep, and all Cao's troops are stationed inside, and no common people live there.
Seeing Yang Ling and Gan Ning riding from a distance, the soldiers at the top of the city raised their bows.
"Who is coming? Don't get closer to the city wall, otherwise we will shoot!"
Seeing that the city was so heavily guarded, Yang Ling couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Zhang Liao is indeed worthy of being a famous general!
"Hurry and report to your general that the imperial general Yang Ling has arrived and ask him to come out of the city to greet you!"
Gan Ning said loudly.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
Yang Ling's name can be described as thunderous.
When the soldiers on the city wall heard this, they all made a commotion.
"Please wait a moment, both of you, I will inform General Wenyuan immediately!"
The leading general did not dare to neglect, said something to Yang Ling and Gan Ning, and left quickly.
Not long after, two familiar figures appeared on the top of the city.
If it's not Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong, who are they?
The two of them looked over and saw Yang Ling and Gan Ning, both of them beamed with joy!
"Come here, open the city gate quickly!"
