In a feudal society where men were superior to women, Yang Ling's words were extremely bold!

But after hearing this, Mi Zhen was very moved!

She wouldn't leave even if she said these words to Yang Ling!

"Thank you sir for not giving up! Of course I am willing!"

She nodded slightly.

"That's good!"

Yang Ling also breathed a sigh of relief.

There are not many people he can trust under him. Apart from Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, there is only one Huang San.

With Mi Zhen helping him take care of his business, he will be able to reduce a lot of trouble in the future!

Next, Yang Ling began to take out the account books, and while teaching Mi Zhen the new accounting methods and numbers, he briefly explained the current business situation to Mi Zhen.

Mi Zhen was surprised again when she learned that the new accounting method and numbers were invented by Yang Ling!

While the two were busy, Zhao Yun suddenly walked in.

"Brother! The governor of Dongjun is outside the door."

"Please quickly invite Prefect Xiahou to come in."

Yang Ling ordered.

After Cao Cao became the shepherd of Yanzhou, he appointed Xiahou Dun as the prefect of Dongjun.

He came to visit today, presumably for Yanzhou's prevention work.

Xiahou Dun's burly body soon appeared in front of Yang Ling,

"Meet sir!"

Xiahou Dun also saw Yang Ling's abilities with his own eyes, so his attitude was extremely respectful.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome."

Yang Ling also quickly stood up and returned the courtesy.

After both parties sat down, Xiahou Dun couldn't wait to open his mouth,

"This time, my lord is going to attack Xuzhou, and I have been specifically ordered to..."

As he hesitated to speak, his eyes fell on Mi Zhen beside him.

There are a total of four people in the hospital.

Apart from Yang Ling and Xiahou Dun, there are only Zhao Yun and Mi Zhen.

Zhao Yun is Yang Ling's younger brother and a general under Cao Cao, so he is naturally trustworthy.

But that's not necessarily the case for Mi Zhen.

What Xiahou Dun wants to discuss with Yang Ling next is extremely confidential.

He didn't want outsiders to hear it and spread it.

"General Yuan Rang, don't worry, she won't leak the secret."

Yang Ling smiled and nodded.

After hearing this, Mi Zhen felt sweet in her heart.

After hearing what Yang Ling said, Xiahou Dun no longer insisted and continued,

"My Lord, before he left, told me to obey Sir in everything. But based on my observations over the past few days, it seems that nothing major happened."

As early as Yang Ling's first reminder, Cao Cao, who was very suspicious, sent people to keep an eye on the nobles in Changyi.

It's a pity that until yesterday, everything was calm in Changyi City.

The nobles kept their peace and had no intention of rebelling.

"General Yuan Rang, this is the calm before the storm."

Yang Ling shook his head.

"Sir, what you mean is..."

Xiahou Dun said with some doubts.

"The nobles in Changyi do not have an army, so naturally they will not take any action."

Yang Ling looked solemn and said,

"So the general should be focusing on Chenliu County. It is very likely that Zhang Miao and others will invite Lu Bu from Hanoi County."

He told Xiahou Dun what he had said to Cao Cao before!

After Xiahou Dun heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

"No, Zhang Miao led Chen Gong and others to leave this morning under the pretext of dealing with county affairs."

Yang Ling's expression also changed slightly.

I have been so comfortable these past few days that I almost forgot about the serious business.

Zhang Miao took Chen Gong and others out of Changyi and returned to Chenliu County, probably to prepare for contacting Lu Bu and marching to Yanzhou.

"Sir, why don't you just send someone to arrest them?"

Xiahou Dun looked fierce.

Yang Ling thought for a while, shook his head and said,

"We have no real evidence now, so it is really unjustifiable to arrest Zhang Miao and the others rashly."

"Then what should we do?"

"General Yuan Rang, there is no need to panic. The matter has not reached an irreversible point."

Yang Ling comforted.

After all, if Zhang Miao did not join forces with Lu Bu, he would never be Cao Cao's opponent with his own strength.

Therefore, as long as we try to destroy their alliance before Lu Bu enters Yanzhou, we can avoid heavy losses.

Yang Ling rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then came up with an idea.

"General Yuan Rang, I have a plan..."

"Ah? Is this plan... feasible?"

After hearing this, Xiahou Dun's eyes widened and he looked suspicious.

"Just do it."

Yang Ling said with a smile.

"Okay, then I will listen to sir."

Xiahou Dun responded, then seemed to think of something,

"Sir, those Yanzhou nobles...are you going to send someone to control them?"

"No need for now."

Yang Ling shook his head and refused.

This will arrest all the Yanzhou nobles and will only serve to scare off the enemy.

"What about Cheng Yu? He is in Juancheng now. Do you want to send someone to inform Xunjun Cheng?"

Xiahou Dun asked again.

After becoming the shepherd of Yanzhou, Cao Cao planned to set his seat in Juancheng.

The purpose is very simple, that is to be wary of Zhang Miao and others.

Although this decision has not been completely announced, most of the officials and Cao Cao's family have moved to Juancheng.

"Cheng Yu is extremely loyal and trustworthy. He will not betray Zhou Mu."

Yang Ling shook his head and said.

Although there were still some doubts in his heart, Yang Ling said so, and Xiahou Dun stopped insisting.

The two discussed in detail, and then Xiahou Dun stood up to leave.

Yang Ling stretched and looked at Mi Zhen aside.

But he found that her little mouth was slightly open, and her pretty face was full of surprise.

"What's wrong, Zhen'er?"

Yang Ling asked with a smile.

Mi Zhen hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said,

"Sir, this Xiahou Prefect is Caozhou Mu's most trusted person. He... why did he come to ask you for advice?"
