When the city gate slowly opened, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong welcomed them out with their soldiers.

As soon as Yang Ling turned over and got off the horse, Zhang Liao came forward with a smile and hugged him.

"General, the last general misses you so much!"

Zhang Liao has always been calm, and it is true that he is so excited today.

But this made Yang Ling suffer.

Even though he had practiced Qi Refining, he could be considered strong and strong. After being hugged by Zhang Liao, he couldn't help but grin.

"Wen Yuan, be gentle, you hurt me."

Zhang Liao laughed and then let go of his hands.

"General, have we not seen each other in years?"

"It's been almost three years?"

Yang Ling said with a smile.

"Three years, do you know how I spent these three years?"

Zhang Liao's expression was quite emotional.

Since he surrendered to Cao Cao, he has been following Yang Ling, and the two have a deep friendship.

It was not until after pacifying Youzhou that Zhang Liao left Yangling's command and was sent to guard Hefei.

Although there were letters during this period, I had not seen each other for almost three years.

When we meet again like this, we are naturally extremely excited.

"Wen Yuan, if you heard your words, you would be jealous."

Huang Zhong, who was standing beside him, quipped.

Yang Ling laughed and looked at Huang Zhong.

"I haven't seen each other for several years, but I didn't expect that General Huang's style will remain the same!"

Although Huang Zhong looks older than in previous years, his face is still rosy and full of energy.

"No matter how charming I am, how can I compare with the general?"

Huang Zhong laughed,

"Okay, let's stop talking here, just go in!"

Everyone surrounded Yangling and walked towards the city.

When he heard General Yang Ling arrived, the Cao army soldiers garrisoned came out to watch, blocking the roads.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao raised his face.

"You are so messy, what do you think, why don't you retreat soon!"

Seeing that he was angry, the soldiers were startled and left one after another.

"Wen Yuan is still so strict in governing the army."

Yang Ling praised with a smile.

"The general is too good. Speaking of this method of training, you will teach me."

Zhang Liao spoke and led Yang Ling and Gan Ning to the court.

After a few people sat down, Zhang Liao couldn't help but sigh.

"We have heard of the great general's military achievements in recent years."

"Yes, bombard Jiangling, burning Red Cliff, and attacking Changsha, the general is really using his troops like a god!"

Huang Zhong, who was standing beside him, nodded and agreed.

Although they were far away in Hefei, the imperial court's palace newspaper had never been pulled once.

"It's just a pity. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I'm afraid Jiangdong..."

Zhang Liao wanted to speak but stopped.

"Okay, don't talk about those unhappy ones."

Yang Ling waved his hand with a smile.

"By the way, how could the general come to Hefei?"

Huang Zhong said in confusion.

Naturally, Yang Ling would not hide it from them, so he told the two of them that he had intentional comments.

After hearing this, both of them were lit up.

"The General's plan is so instant, he can really beat Jiangdong by surprise!"

Huang Zhong stroked his beard and praised.

"I can finally follow the general again and make another military contribution!"

Zhang Liao was also extremely happy.

"Speaking of this, what's the war in Hefei?"

Yang Ling asked about the important matters.

Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong did not dare to neglect and reported to Yang Ling about the situation in Hefei.

Since the imperial army has been using troops against Jingzhou under the command of Yangling in recent years, the surrounding areas of Hefei have been maintaining a defensive momentum.

Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong both stood firm in the city and never took the initiative.

On the other hand, Jiangdong gave up the attack after tentatively attacking Hefei several times and returned in vain.

Both sides also maintain a delicate balance in Hefei area.

"There are 10,000 soldiers in the city, all of which are the last generals' training, and they are definitely elite."

"As for the Ruxukou, according to the observation of our spies, there are less than 20,000 people in Jiangdong."

Zhang Liao introduced the forces of both sides.

Hearing this, Yang Ling was a little surprised.

You should know that for Jiangdong, Ruxukou has great significance.

It is the front line of the fight against Cao's army. Once the Ruxukou is lost, Cao's army can go down the river and take Jianye, the old nest in Jiangdong.

In such an important place, Sun Quan only arranged less than 20,000 people?

However, after a brief surprise, Yang Ling also figured out the reason.

Previously, they fought in Jingzhou, and both Cao's army and Sun-Liu's coalition forces suffered heavy losses.

Cao Wei is strong, and no matter how big the losses are, it will be able to make up for it in no time.

But Jiangdong is not possible. Sun Quan only has one state and Liu Bei is the one who is the one who is responsible for his life. Naturally, life is tight.

He could only draw troops from Huainan and other places where there was no war to support the war in Jingzhou.

This is also why everyone in Jiangdong was so angry after Liu Bei occupied most of Jingnan territory.

In this way, it can be said to be a god-given opportunity!

Yang Ling's eyes flashed with a slight sneered,

"Since that's the case, let's attack Ruxukou. What do you think?"

"We all obey the orders of the general!"

Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong said in unison.

As a general of the court, Yang Ling had promised before that all wars in the south would obey his orders.

Of course, the two of them would not have any objections.

As for the fact that Cao's army was not as strong as Jiangdong, Huang Zhong was even less worried about Zhang Liao.

Just kidding, is there still fewer battles in which Yang Ling wins more with less?

Everyone has blind trust in Yang Ling!

"I just don't know what specific tactics the general has?"

Zhang Liao asked.

Yang Ling walked to the sand table, stared at the Ruxukou, and said softly,

"I plan to take down Ruxukou first, and take advantage of Jiangdong's reaction to cross the river with a white dress!"

Cao Wei lacked naval troops, otherwise he would not be so passive in Jingzhou.

There are no other troops in Hefei except for the 10,000 troops of Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong.

Therefore, Yangling planned to capture Ruxukou first, capture the warships from Jiangdong, and then quickly move along the Yangtze River to directly attack Jianye
