"We take the order!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Yang Ling gave some more instructions, asking them to go down first to recharge their batteries and wait for the fight the next day.

"Brother, with only our small manpower, it will be difficult to defeat the unjust and ignorant king, right?"

Zhao Yun said with some worry.

"Yeah, I'm not afraid of death, but Xu Du has at least a hundred thousand troops!"

Dian Wei sighed as he spoke.

The total number of guards in Yang Ling's mansion is only 200. How can they be the opponent of tens of thousands of forbidden troops?

Yang Ling chuckled,

"Don't worry."

"In recent days, the governors of Liangzhou and Jingzhou have revolted, and the Shanyue people have also rebelled."

"In order to suppress them, Cao Pi had to mobilize troops from Xudu."

"Now the troops in Xudu City are empty, with only 30,000 people at most!"

Hearing this, Dian Wei couldn't help but be stunned.

"Brother, we are all trapped in the house, how did you find out?"

Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, and Jiang Wei also looked at Yang Ling with puzzled faces.

During this period of time, everyone was besieged in the mansion by the imperial army and completely cut off from the outside world. How did Yang Ling know about the uprisings in various places and Cao Pi sent out all Xu Du's troops?

Yang Ling did not answer, but smiled and continued,

"Other than that, you can rest assured."

"Since I plan to attack Cao Pi, how come I am not prepared at all?"

"Now in Xudu City, I have arranged another army of soldiers and horses."

"As long as we raise our troops early tomorrow morning, they will respond!"

After everyone heard this, their hearts were surging, and they wished they could attack the palace with Yang Ling immediately at dawn.

"Okay, it's getting late, you all should go back and rest."

Yang Ling smiled and waved her hands.

Just as Zhao Yun and others stood up to leave, Yang Ling heard footsteps coming from behind.

He turned around and saw Cao Qing and the other girls walking out of the backyard.

"Madam, didn't I ask you all to enter the underground secret room first? What are you..."

"Tomorrow will be very dangerous. As husband and wife, how can we hide underground?"

Cao Qing said seriously.

"Yes, we want to advance and retreat together with my husband!"

Mi Zhen nodded.

"As for us sisters, we will also go to the battlefield with our husbands!"

The one who spoke was Sun Shangxiang, who was wearing soft armor.

The four women beside her, Lu Lingqi, Ma Yunlu, Guan Yinping, and Zhang Xingcai, were also wearing armor and holding weapons.

They have all been dancing with guns and sticks since they were young, practicing martial arts diligently.

Although she is married to Yang Ling, she has not wasted her efforts.

"My husband and I will advance and retreat together!"

Diao Chan, Zou Rui, Huang Yueying, Fu Shou, Guo Zhao, Zhang Chunhua, Ma Yunlu, Zhen Mi, Cao Qing, Cai Yan, Cao Xian, Cao Jie, Cao Hua, Gan Mei, Fan Ling, Xiao Qiao, Pan Shu, Bu Lian

Master, all the women said with determination on their faces.

You say that when the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs?

Since they have married Yang Ling, they naturally share weal and woe with him.

If Yang Ling loses, then they will make up their mind and follow Yang Ling immediately!

"Having confidants like you is my blessing, Yang Ling!"

Yang Ling laughed and took turns holding them in his arms.

Then he chuckled and said,

"But it's a gentleman's business to go into battle and kill the enemy. Just stay at home and wait for your husband to return in triumph!"

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang and the girls were a little unwilling, Yang Ling's face darkened and he said sternly,

"If you still don't obey, then I will punish you according to the family law!"

Hearing his firm tone, Sun Shangxiang, Lu Lingqi and the other girls could only nod obediently.

"That's pretty much it. Just protect the other sisters at home."

Yang Ling smiled.

…

Although the long night is long, it will eventually come.

When the first ray of dawn appeared in the sky and the crow of cocks rang out one after another in the city of Xudu, Xia Houen and Xia Houjie came to Sima Yi's camp.

"Hangxianghou..."

Hearing their soft calls, Sima Yi woke up instantly.

As he got up and put on his clothes, he opened the tent curtain.

"What time is it now?"

"It's already three quarters past three o'clock!"

"Is there any movement in Yang Ling's mansion?"

"It was calm all night and there was no movement."

"That's good!"

Sima Yi felt relieved and nodded,

"Let's go, let's go in and see if Yang Ling is dead!"

"good!"

Xia Houen and Xia Houjie immediately gathered a group of people and followed Sima Yi again towards the Yang Mansion.

But when they approached, they saw that the door of Yang's Mansion was ajar.

The two brothers Sima Yi and Xia Hou looked at each other, and then ordered the soldiers on the side to go in first.

However, the house was empty, not even a human figure.

Seeing this situation, Sima Yi instinctively had an ominous premonition in his heart.

As he walked inside, he subconsciously walked to the back of the line.

When they came to the front hall, they saw a slumped table in the center.

Yang Ling sat on it with his eyes closed, his face looking quite dark in thought.

Seeing this, everyone thought he had committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine as agreed!

"Damn it, you're still pretending to be a ghost after you die!"

Xia Houjie breathed a sigh of relief and took a step forward to check whether Yang Ling had really died.

However, before he could reach out his hand, Yang Ling suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ghost...ghost!"

Xia Houjie was so frightened that the hair on his body stood up.

The next moment, Yang Ling raised his hand and pointed the black gun at Xia Houjie.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise, and Xia Houjie was killed on the spot by a firecracker!

This sudden change really shocked everyone present.

After a brief period of confusion, Sima Yi's expression changed drastically and he said sternly,

"Yang Ling, how dare you harm the generals of the imperial court? Aren't you afraid of having your whole family executed?"

When Yang Ling heard this, he smiled contemptuously,

"Child Cao Pi wants to kill me, why should I wait for him to be killed?"
