Sima Shi said: "Father, even if Cao Liang's thief bluffs in Hanoi, we can't ignore it, after all, the army is pressing, and Luoyang is already panicked, if you don't retreat his troops earlier, I'm afraid that there will be chaos in Luoyang after all." ”

This time, Sima Yi's face was a little more solemn, and he said solemnly: "This father has thought about it, in fact, it is not difficult to let Cao Liang withdraw from the army, now Cao Liang has entered Hanoi, and the state is naturally empty, just order the Zhenbei general Lu Dai to lead the Jizhou soldiers to attack Weize Pass, Chen Qian Hu Fen led the Hedong Pingyang army to attack Jiexiu, Cao Liang will retreat, there is no need for the Huainan army to return to Luoyang, the top priority now is how to destroy Wang Ling, now the siege of Shouchun has been more than a year, Wang Ling has run out of oil, The pressure on him must continue, and he must not be allowed to relapse. ”

Sima Shi nodded and said, "Father's decision is very wise, the battle of Huainan is coming to an end, and Wang Ling can no longer be given any respite, the child thinks that it is time to launch a general attack on Shouchun and capture Wang Ling alive." ”

Sima Yi shook his head lightly and said: "Hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, now Wang Ling has felt desperate but not completely desperate, he can't count on the Dongwu side, now it seems that Cao Liang's attack on Hanoi this time must also be in collusion with Wang Ling, as long as the news of Cao Liang's withdrawal reaches Shouchun, Wang Ling will inevitably be completely desperate." After he was completely desperate, the first thing he thought of would be to break through the siege, trap the beast and fight, and fight against the city, and he must not be guarded, Shi'er, pass the order, and all the armies besieging the city will be ready for attack and combat from now on, and they will be on call day and night, ready to fight at any time! ”

"Yui!" Sima Shi gave up his hand.

Sima Yi picked up the pen, quickly wrote two official documents, and then handed them to Sima Shi, saying: "These two official documents will be sent to Hedong and Jizhou immediately six hundred miles in an urgent manner." ”

Needless to say, these two official documents were also addressed to Lu Dai, the general of Zhenbei in Jizhou, and Chen Qian and Hu Fen in Hedong.

Sima Shi immediately took it and sent a fast horse of 600 li to Hedong and Jizhou urgently, and at the same time ordered all armies to be strictly guarded to prevent the Huainan army from breaking through.

However, the investigation of the detailed personnel was deliberately relaxed, and the intention of doing so was actually more obvious, Sima Yi needed Wang Ling to get the news from Luoyang, otherwise the news would be closed, and Wang Ling would not know the news of Cao Liang's retreat, wouldn't it be in vain.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

As the weather warms up, the situation in Shouchun City becomes more and more severe.

Although the Huainan Army has adopted the grain rationing system, no matter how large the grain depot is, if it is unable to enter or leave, sooner or later it will be empty, and reducing the supply of military rations through grain rationing can only be a way to cure the symptoms but not the root cause, and at most it can only delay the consumption of grain and cannot solve the problem at the root.

If Wang Ling could not break through the siege of Sima Jun, then the fall of Shouchun was only a matter of time.

When Sima Yi led the army to besiege the city, Wang Ling sneered at Sima Yi's actions and disdained them, he was confident that with the Shouchun city defense that he had operated for many years, it was enough to reach the attack of Sima Yi's 200,000 army, as long as Sima Yi dared to attack, it would definitely make his corpses pile up like a mountain of blood, and it could not be said that Sima Yi's entire army would be destroyed, at least let him lose half of Tai.

But what Wang Ling didn't expect was that Sima Yi only besieged Shouchun but did not attack, and he didn't even launch an attack at all, so that Wang Ling's carefully prepared city defense battle was nowhere to go, and the defenders who were all on guard could only watch the company camp of Sima Jun outside the city in a daze.

Obviously, Sima Yi did not have any confidence in storming Shouchun City, although Sima Yi brought an army of 200,000, but his besieging army was always only about 100,000 people, and the remaining half of the soldiers and horses were arranged by him to send reinforcements, and because of this, Sima Jun repelled Zhuge Ke's attack three times in a row.

The defenders of Shouchun City originally had about 70,000 people, plus Wang Ling temporarily forcibly recruited 20,000 or 30,000 people from the people of Shouchun, and the army defending the city was almost 100,000 people.

Sima Yi knew very well that if he sent troops to attack, the losses would be heavy, and if he didn't even slow down the siege, the morale of the army would be shaken, and the number of men and horses would be reduced, and I was afraid that he would not even be able to besiege the city. So he simply surrounded but did not fight, and used the method of siege to trap Wang Ling.

A year ago, when Sima Jun came to besiege Shouchun with a high base and a deep trench, Wang Ling still laughed at Sima Yi at the head of the city that he was really old and confused, and he would use such a stupid method to besiege the city. But a year later, Wang Ling couldn't laugh anymore.

The 100,000 army and hundreds of thousands of people in the city add up to an absolutely terrible number, so many people have to eat and drink every day, even if there is more food can not withstand such a consumption, a year ago Wang Ling boasted that the warehouse was solid and the grain reserves were worry-free, but now many granaries have bottomed out, and the day of food supply is getting closer and closer.

Wang Ling originally thought that as long as the reinforcements from Eastern Wu arrived, they should cooperate with the outside world, and the siege of the Sima army would not be broken, but he waited for a year, and he didn't see the reinforcements of Eastern Wu at all.

Zhuge Ke had already done his best, and launched three rescues successively, but the results ended in failure, Wang Ling was waiting for it, and he couldn't see the reinforcements from Dongwu coming.

There was no way, he had to send Ma Long to Bingzhou to ask Cao Liang for help, even if he asked for help across thousands of miles, it would be a drop in the bucket, and it would be difficult to solve Huainan's difficulties.

However, there is still a chance to besiege Wei to save Zhao, although Cao Liang's men and horses cannot go to Huainan to fight, but they can attack Luoyang nearby, and Luoyang is impossible for Sima Yi to give up, once Luoyang is threatened, Sima Yi is very likely to withdraw his troops to rescue, so the feasibility of this plan to encircle Wei to save Zhao is still quite high.

This is probably Wang Ling's last straw, since sending Ma Long to Bingzhou, Wang Ling has closely followed the news in Luoyang, sleeping and eating, spending every day in extreme anxiety, eagerly looking forward to good news to come.
