After spending the whole night with the three girls Qiao Ying, not only was I not tired, but I was also in high spirits.
If I have the chance to see Zuo Ci again, I will definitely thank his eight generations of ancestors!
Yang Ling, who was not sleepy at all, simply got dressed again, stood up, opened the door, and came to the lobby, ready to handle official business.
As soon as he sat down, he heard slight footsteps.
Looking up, it was Zhang Liao walking in.
He couldn't help being surprised when he saw Yang Ling sitting in the hall.
"General, you...why did you get up so early?"
According to Zhang Liao's idea, Yang Ling would have to sleep until noon at least after fighting fiercely all night.
"Don't you still know my abilities?"
Yang Ling asked with a smile,
"Why did you get up so early?"
"Reporting to the general, a messenger from Xudu has just arrived, saying that he has several letters to deliver to the general."
Zhang Liao said and handed over several letters.
Yang Ling took the letter, opened it and read it in turn, but his brows furrowed.
"General, are there any changes in Xu Du?"
"Our Majesty is doing this again."
Yang Ling reluctantly handed the letter to Zhang Liao.
It turned out that Cao Hong's retainer broke the law. Cao Pi was furious and threw him into prison and planned to execute him!
Empress Dowager Wu Xuanbian, Cao Pi's biological mother, as well as Guo Jia, Cao Ren and others wrote letters one after another, hoping that Yang Ling could come forward and persuade Cao Pi not to kill Cao Hong.
Cao Pi's attempt to kill Cao Hong also happened in history.
The reason is that Cao Hong was stingy by nature. When Cao Pi asked him to borrow money when he was young, he refused.
Cao Pi, who had a small belly and chicken intestines, felt jealous because of this.
After ascending the throne as emperor, despite everyone's obstruction, Cao Hong, who was loyal to Cao Wei, was going to be executed!
In addition, Guo Jia also mentioned in the letter that Cao Pi was also more wary of the two brothers Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang.
Because Cao Zhang uttered arrogant words while drunk, Cao Pi ordered him to scold him and cut off several counties in his fiefdom.
As for Cao Zhi, in this life he did not compete with Cao Pi for the heir apparent, so the situation was slightly better.
But he was also imprisoned in the fiefdom, and there were a large number of spies from the school affairs office monitoring him.
This Cao Pi had only been on the throne for a few days, but he began to act recklessly and retaliate wantonly!
Yang Ling frowned and sighed,
"The Empress Dowager and the princes have posed a problem for me!"
Cao Pi was extremely suspicious of him. If he intervened in Cao Hong's affairs at this juncture, wouldn't it make Cao Pi even more unhappy?
But don't interfere. Empress Dowager Wu Xuan Bian, Guo Jia and others wrote to him asking for help.
The first person he saw when he arrived at Cao Ying was Cao Hong, and later he also worked under Cao Hong.
It can be said that the two of them are old comrades-in-arms!
Yang Ling still couldn't bear to stand by and watch!
"In my opinion, the General still needs to speak up and dissuade His Majesty."
Zhang Liao saw Yang Ling's dilemma and said softly,
"After all, General Hussar (Cao Hong's official position) can be regarded as the old boss of the General."
"You're right, whatever, even if it offends His Majesty, there's nothing I can do about it."
Yang Ling shook his head, picked up the pen and started writing.
…
Xudu.
royal palace.
"The Cavalry General saved the late emperor's life before, and he is also a general of the clan. If Your Majesty kills him, wouldn't it chill the whole world?"
Empress Dowager Bian glared at Cao Pi and said sternly.
Shortly after Cao Cao's death, Cao Cao's first wife, Cao Ang and Cao Qing's adoptive mother, Mrs. Ding, passed away due to excessive longing.
After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he also respected his biological mother, Mrs. Bian, as the empress dowager.
"Since he has broken the law, he should be severely punished. If the world knows the severity of the law, how can he be forgiven?"
Cao Pi said expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty wants to execute the Cavalry General. Is it because he broke the law or because he did not lend money to Your Majesty in the past years? Your Majesty should know it well!"
Empress Dowager Bian said angrily,
"If you really execute him, don't blame me for severing the relationship between mother and son!"
After saying this, she stood up and walked away angrily!
After Empress Dowager Bian left, Cao Pi turned livid with anger and said angrily to Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Zhen Yan and others beside him,
"As the lord of the world, don't I even have the power to execute guilty people?"
The ministers saw that he was angry and kept silent for fear of offending him!
At this moment, Cao Xiu, who is now the commander of the imperial army, ran into the palace with excitement on his face.
"Your Majesty, good news from Hefei!"
Cao Pi was slightly startled,
"speak!"
"The general launched a raid in Hefei, destroyed the Ruxu Water Village built by Jiangdong, and took advantage of the situation to raid Jianye and captured the mother and sister of the rebel Sun Quan!"
After listening to Cao Xiu's report, Cao Pi frowned and said coldly,
"It's just a little battle merit. Is it worth making such a fuss about?"
"Your Majesty, don't be impatient. Please wait until the report is finished."
Cao Xiu chuckled and continued,
"After Sun Quan learned the news, he was shocked and immediately returned to the army to rescue Jianye, but he fell into the general's plan to attack the east and attack the west!"
"Our army's military advisor Pang Tong, according to the general's arrangement, built a pontoon bridge from Jiangling and went south to attack the public security forces."
"Liu Bei, who was stationed at the Public Security Bureau, could not resist and fled westward into Yizhou!"
"Pang Tong and others sang triumphant songs all the way, defeated Cheng Pu's troops who stayed in Jiangxia and drove them back to Yangzhou!"
"Now the entire territory of Jingzhou has returned to the jurisdiction of the Wei Dynasty!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.
This Yang Ling is too evil, right?
Only a few months after being sent to Jingzhou, he not only stabilized the situation, but even captured all of Jingzhou!
It’s really perverted!
Cao Pi was both excited and unhappy.
What's exciting is that after recapturing Jingzhou, Cao Wei strategically took the initiative over Jiangdong.
As long as he is willing, he can go down the Yangtze River to attack Sun Quan at any time!
But what makes him unhappy is that it was not Sima Yi who made such a great contribution, but Yang Ling, whom he hated the most!
By the way, how is Yang Ling doing?
"Wen Lie (Cao Xiu's courtesy name), Sun Quan's army has returned for reinforcements. I wonder what the situation is like with the general?"
Cao Pi looked concerned, but in his heart he wished that Yang Ling would die in Sun Quan's hands.
"Reporting to your majesty, the general is safe and sound. He used Sun Quan's mother, Mrs. Wu, as a threat and stayed safely surrounded by Jiangdong Navy for nearly half a month."
"Sun Quan surrendered to the enemy and had no choice but to reach an agreement with the general."
"The general released Mrs. Wu and her daughter Sun Shangxiang. He sent back the previously captured soldiers of Cao's army and allowed Yang Ling to leave with his sister-in-law Qiao and his two wives and concubines."
"The general finally returned to Hefei safe and sound."
Cao Pi cursed in his heart, Sun Quan, you are a loser, you can't keep Yang Ling with an army of hundreds of thousands, you deserve to have the woman taken away by him!
But on the surface he still had to smile happily,
"General, just be fine!"
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, here are two letters from the general!"
Cao Xiu said and handed over two letters.
