Zhou Cang said, handing over a letter.
Yang Ling took it and looked at it again, and couldn't help but smile with joy.
He originally thought that Qiao Zhou and others would take a few more months.
Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, they had successfully completed their assigned tasks.
It seems that I still underestimated the capabilities of these Yizhou surrender factions!
"Zhou Cang, go and invite Situ, Sikong, and Taiwei over."
Yang Ling smiled.
"Here!"
Zhou Cang took the order and left.
Not long after, he brought Pang Tong, Gao Rou, Xu Shu and others to Yang Ling.
"I have met His Highness King Qi!"
Several people bowed and saw Yang Ling's face beaming with joy. Pang Tong's heart moved and he asked tentatively,
"The King of Qi is so happy. Could it be that there is news from Yizhou?"
"My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and my parents are the ones who know me!"
Yang Ling smiled and nodded,
"Yes, I just received a letter from Shizai. The situation in Yizhou is developing as we expected."
Several people were slightly stunned when they heard this.
How long had it passed before Qiao Zhou and the others achieved Yang Ling's goal?
But when they received Deng Ai's letter and learned that prices in Yizhou were soaring, copper coins were in short supply, and a large amount of farmland had been converted to mulberry and hemp, they were surprised.
"King Qi is really a mastermind!"
"At the beginning, we suspected that King Qi's judgment was wrong, but now it seems that it is really a brilliant plan!"
Several people couldn't help but praise.
"Okay, stop flattering me."
Yang Ling smiled and cursed, then asked,
"In recent times, have you drawn up regulations on how to conquer Yizhou?"
"Report to King Qi, this is exactly why we came."
Pang Tong chuckled, took out a scroll from his arms, and spread it gently on the table.
What is drawn on the scroll is the map of Yizhou.
"I held discussions with several ministers such as Wen Hui and Yuan Zhi, as well as generals such as Xingba, Zilong, Meng Qi, etc., and decided to use 300,000 troops to attack Liu Bei in two groups, striving to attack Liu Bei in one go. Capture Yizhou!"
According to Pang Tong's proposal, 50,000 naval troops and 50,000 infantry troops were transferred from Jingzhou and Jiangdong, led by Pang Tong and Gan Ning. They followed Liu Bei's route into Sichuan, went upriver, and attacked Bajun directly.
After Yang Ling deposed Cao Pi, he appointed Gan Ning as the naval commander to command all Cao Wei's naval forces.
Previously, he had been staying in Jingzhou and Jiangdong, responsible for training the navy.
It was not until recently that Yang Ling planned to attack Yizhou and transferred him back.
In addition to attacking Yizhou by water, another 200,000 troops were mobilized from Liangzhou, Silizhou and other places, under the command of Yang Ling, to attack the northern part of Yizhou from Hanzhong.
"Let's work together on both sides. With Yizhou's strength, we will definitely not be able to resist it!"
Pang Tong said confidently.
An army of three hundred thousand is an extremely large number.
Yang Ling has never fought such a rich battle since he followed Cao Cao.
But what Pang Tong said makes sense.
The terrain of Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Instead of sending troops to attack multiple times, it is better to complete the victory in one battle!
"In that case, let's act according to Shi Yuan's plan. When spring comes next year, we will send troops!"
Yang Ling nodded and approved Pang Tong's battle plan.
"King Qi is wise!"
Pang Tong and others praised in unison.
At this moment, a young man who looked somewhat similar to Yang Ling and Cao Yuan walked in quickly.
When Yang Ling saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said,
"Xiao Yueyue, why are you here?"
"I've met the crown prince!"
Pang Tong and others also bowed to the young man.
Yes, the person who came was none other than Yang Yue, Huang Yueying's son for Yang Ling.
Yang Yue was originally the second son of Yang Ling, but after his elder brother was adopted to Cao Pi, he became the eldest son of Yang.
"I've met my father!"
Yang Yue said with a smile,
"The queen mother asked her son to tell the father that the thing you asked her to develop has already taken shape!"
Yang Ling was stunned for a moment, then said happily,
"That's very good. Take my father there quickly!"
He and Yang Yue walked a few steps outside, slapped their foreheads, and then remembered that Pang Tong and others were still in the palace.
"Shi Yuan, Wen Hui, please go with Gu!"
Pang Tong and others all know that Yang Ling's concubine Huang Yueying likes to study the art of mechanism.
For example, Huang Yueying's contribution to the advanced ordnance such as shrimp-huang crossbows, three-eyed blunderbuss, and artillery assembled by Cao Wei's army was almost all due to Huang Yueying's contribution.
They were also extremely curious when they heard that Huang Yueying had made another new invention and that Yang Ling was so excited.
So he immediately agreed, followed Yang Ling, and left Prince Qi's Mansion.
While Yang Ling led Yang Yue and others to the craftsman's workshop outside the city, he asked Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to send people to call Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others.
Seeing him making such a big show, Pang Tong and Gao Rou became more and more curious!
A craftsman's workshop outside the city.
Huang Yueying, who was busy, knew that Yang Ling and others were arriving, so she immediately put down her work and came out to greet them in person.
"I have met my husband and all the ministers."
Although she is in her thirties and has been working in a craftsman's workshop for many years, Huang Yueying shows no signs of aging, and instead becomes more and more beautiful.
"We have met the princess!"
Pang Tong and others also quickly returned the gift.
"Yue'er said that Madam has successfully developed a hot air balloon?"
Yang Ling couldn't hold back her excitement and asked quickly.
"That's right. Husband, don't be anxious. I'll let them take it out right now."
Huang Yueying pursed her lips and smiled, and after giving a few instructions, several craftsmen turned around and entered the craftsman's workshop.
hot air balloon?
What is that?
Pang Tong and others looked at each other.
At this moment, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning and others, who received the news, also rushed over.
As soon as he saw Yang Ling, Gan Ning said in a loud voice,
"His Royal Highness King Qi, what on earth is going on? It's so mysterious that you even called us over."
"I called you here today because I want you to see my treasure."
Yang Ling smiled mysteriously.
"Brother, please tell me what kind of treasure it is?"
Dian Wei urged.
"This baby can take you to fly into the blue sky and soar into the clouds!"
As soon as Yang Ling said this, everyone was in an uproar!
Since ancient times, countless people have dreamed of reaching the stars and chasing their dreams for nine days!
But how difficult it is for those without wings!
However, Yang Ling boasted about Haikou today, saying that the newly developed thing could take people to heaven!
How could this not shock everyone!
If they didn't believe in Yang Ling's character, they would immediately accuse Yang Ling of talking nonsense!
Everyone waited quietly with anxiety and excitement.
Not long after, two carriages were seen driving out of the craftsman's workshop.
What is pulled behind the carriage is not a carriage, but a flatbed.
On top of the first carriage was a large piece of giant cloth made of an unknown material.
On the carriage behind, there is a huge bamboo basket.
