He and Cao Bao fell out, but there was no panic. Even if he offended Cao Bao, there was nothing to be afraid of. Cao Bao was powerful, but if Cao Bao wanted to target him, there was nothing he could do, because Cao Bao could not be involved in the adjustment of military personnel.
Personnel adjustments in the military are arranged by the Governor's Office.
Large-scale mobilization of the army is also arranged by the Governor's Office.
At most, Cao Bao would embarrass him, and at most he would not let him have an easy time. What's more, even if Cao Bao took the risk, he would have to mobilize a small number of direct soldiers to work against him. Ling Cao also had personal guards around him to protect him, so he was not a vegetarian.
If the fight breaks out and things get too big, Cao Bao will definitely not be able to eat and carry around.
While Ling Cao was flipping through the information, there was a sound of footsteps, and a fifteen-year-old young man strode in.
The young man's name was Ling Tong, the son of Ling Cao.
Ling Tong is currently fifteen years old. He is not very old, but he is already 173 centimeters tall. He has broad bones and a strong body. He has an unruly and energetic look. Although his appearance is still a bit childish, there is a trace of childishness between his eyebrows.
, but he already has a strong back and a strong waist, and he looks like he has the talent of a general.
With a trace of expectation in his eyes, Ling Tong cupped his fists and said, "Father!"
Ling Cao nodded and said, "What's the matter?"
Ling Tong chuckled and replied: "Father, my son has finished reading the book he should read today. I have nothing to do, and it is the time for spring outings in March and April. Can you approve ten personal guards to follow me out of the city?
Go hunting in the spring and hunt some prey. There has been no war now. Going hunting in the spring to compete with deer can also train your physical fitness and enhance your fighting spirit."
"Don't even think about it!"
Ling Cao scolded.
He looked angrily and said: "The Governor personally presides over the Governor's Mansion. All generals in the army must be literate and memorize the art of war. This is your chance. Instead of reading carefully, you ran away."
How is it appropriate to go hunting in the spring?"
Ling Tong refused to admit defeat and argued: "Father, even if you are studying, you must relax and combine work with rest. Otherwise, if you just immerse yourself in reading, you will be studying to death."
Ling Cao sneered and said: "You have been clamoring that you hope to join His Majesty in the future to expand territory and establish meritorious service overseas. Let me ask you, can Chunlie help you to serve under His Majesty?"
"cannot!"
Ling Tong smiled.
Ling Cao continued: "If you want to follow His Majesty, if you don't understand the art of war, strategy, and marching formation, you won't be respected by Your Majesty. On the other hand, other people, such as Zhuge Liang, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun, are all improving rapidly and working hard.
Qian. You are the only one who still thinks about Chun Lie. Let me ask you, can Chun Lie help you gain His Majesty's respect?"
"also can not!"
Ling Tong's cheeks twitched.
He felt helpless because his father's words left him speechless.
Ling Cao looked indifferent and continued to ask: "As a famous general, your words and deeds must be decent, every move must be dignified, and you must set an example. You usually always say that you want to be a famous general. But now, you are wasting your great years, Pei Dian
Peipian went to spring hunting, do you think a famous general is suitable for spring hunting?"
"Not suitable!"
Ling Tong sighed dejectedly: "I was wrong, I will never go hunting in spring again."
Ling Cao had a look of approval in his eyes and said: "That's not bad. The Governor took charge of the army at a young age. He is already His Majesty's think tank and the commander-in-chief of the army, responsible for the war in the army."
"If you follow the example of the Grand Governor, you will naturally continue to train troops and work diligently and down-to-earth."
"You asked me to allocate you a hundred soldiers, and I gave you a hundred soldiers, but now, you have not done anything well in training. Train your soldiers well, be like a commander, and completely gain their trust."
Ling Cao flicked his sleeves and asked: "If you can't even train and tame a hundred people, what else can you talk about?"
Ling Tong said solemnly: "My son understands."
After all, he was a young man at heart and wanted to go out for fun, but after Ling Cao's words, Ling Tong was dispelled, and Ling Tong also became more motivated to fight.
I was thinking about military training.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier flew in and reported: "General Ling, something bad has happened. Cao Bao led Zhou Peng, Zhao An and Pang Chen towards our camp, and the other party also brought
We have an army of five to six hundred people."
Ling Cao's face was cold and he said in a deep voice: "Assemble the soldiers and prepare to fight. I want to see how brave Cao Bao is, and he actually wants to kill me."
He carried a gold-backed sword and walked out of the camp.
Ling Tong took down a large gun from the weapons rack in the camp and followed it outside the camp.
The father and son stood outside the camp. Not long after, all the 150 soldiers around them gathered. In addition, there were more soldiers under Ling Tong's command who also continued to gather and quickly walked around.
When the soldiers gathered, Cao Bao came with Zhao An and others.
Cao Bao held his sword, looked around at the soldiers, and said loudly: "I am here, who dares to act rashly? Ling Cao is suspected of corruption, and even involved the murder of soldiers. The evidence of his crime is conclusive, and I will arrest and question him. Whoever dares to intervene will be punished."
Those who conspire to rebel will be killed on the spot."
boom!!
The soldiers directly belonging to Ling Cao gathered around, looking a little scared.
If guilty of conspiracy and rebellion, he will be killed on the spot.
This is too harsh.
In addition, Cao Bao was the commander-in-chief of the army and was responsible for the overall situation after Huang Zhong left. Although Cao Bao was unable to mobilize a large army for battle, Cao Bao had an identity and his words had a certain authority.
Every soldier is unwilling to act rashly.
Cao Bao noticed the condition of the soldiers under Ling Cao's command and sneered in his heart. Ling Cao was too young to fight with him.
If he was not the person in charge of the situation, it would not be easy to deal with Ling Cao. But he was in Xiapi, which was his base camp, and he was the acting general in charge of military affairs, so Cao Bao was not worried at all that the soldiers would dare to rebel.
Cao Bao looked at Ling Cao again and said proudly: "Ling Cao, you can kneel down and be bound, which will save you the pain of your flesh and blood. If you insist on stubbornly resisting, the final result can only be the death of your body and the annihilation of your family."
Zhao An advised: "Ling Cao, surrender."
Zhou Peng said: "It's best to surrender."
"You're a fool to surrender. They are a bunch of thieves who oppress the people and occupy us. They dare to slander my father."
Ling Tong became angry.
He raised his spear, pointed diagonally in the direction of Cao Bao ahead, and said coldly: "Old dog Cao Bao, if you dare to take action today, I will definitely kill you, and kill you quickly. You people are the ones who deserve to die."
Cao Bao chuckled upon hearing this, not taking Ling Tong's threat to heart at all.
He stroked his beard and sighed with emotion: "General Ling, look at your son, he is so young and vigorous. It is a pity that such a young man who has been rising rapidly will wither away. If you kneel down and confess your sins, your son can
Exemption.”
"A bunch of dirty people."
Ling Cao sneered. He looked around at Cao Bao, Zhao An and others. The golden-backed sword was stuck on the ground, and his hand was pressed on the end of the handle, with a murderous look.
His eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice: "Who wants to die? Just come. If you can't kill me, Ling Cao, today, I will definitely write to the Governor's Office and ask the Governor to uphold justice. If you want to slander me, you must be prepared to bear the price.
If you want to kill me, you will die too."
Cao Bao raised his eyebrows. Once the matter reaches the Governor's Mansion, he will definitely be held accountable.
Ling Cao must die!
Cao Bao's eyes were cold and he said: "You are looking for death!"
Ling Cao counterattacked: "You are looking for death!"
Cao Bao no longer hesitated, waved his hand and ordered: "Kill me!"
The soldiers he brought obeyed the order and quickly approached Ling Cao with their swords in hand, intending to kill Ling Cao and Ling Tong's father and son.
