Chapter 825: No Hurry, No Hurry
If Zhuge Ke went to An Fengdu alone or with only a few personal guards, it would definitely be no problem, but for the sake of safety, Zhuge Ke, who was the general of Wu Guo, naturally couldn't risk himself, after all, no one knew the situation on An Fengdu's side, and in case of an accident, I am afraid that even his intestines would have to regret it.
Now the situation in Huainan is indeed more complicated, on the one hand, Wang Lingyang disobeyed, although he nominally voted for Wu, but only hoped to get the assistance of Wu when he encountered Sima Yi's invasion, and repeatedly rejected Zhuge Ke's suggestion to send troops to help defend Shouchun.
And judging from the attitude of other county guards in Huainan, it seems that they are not necessarily on Wang Ling's side, and it can even be said that there are many wait-and-see people, seeing the wind and making the rudder, if Wang Ling can defend Huainan, maybe he can win more support, and if Sima Yi has the upper hand, it is not ruled out that they may defect.
If Zhuge Ke only took a few guards to Anfengdu to pay tribute to Zhuge Jin in this case, it was very likely that he would encounter danger, and if he brought a large group of people to go, he must communicate with Wang Ling first, otherwise there would be a misunderstanding.
In fact, the relationship between Zhuge Ke and Wang Ling is difficult to say harmonious at present, the two sides have been opponents over the years, under pressure, Wang Ling took the initiative to surrender to Eastern Wu, of course, his surrender is not unconditional, but with more harsh conditions, at that time Sun Quan was a little hesitant about this, and it was under the persuasion of Zhuge Ke that he accepted such an unusual surrender.
For Wang Ling's surrender, Zhuge Ke actually has his own ideas, Wang Ling supports the army in Huainan and is self-respecting, in fact, the surrender of Wu is also a disguised self-reliance, Wu has coveted Huainan for so many years, and now he finally has the opportunity to bring it under his rule, Zhuge Ke will certainly not give up this opportunity easily.
Zhuge Ke made several suggestions and hoped to send troops into Huainan to assist in defense, but under the current situation of calm in Huainan, Wang Ling naturally refused, and both sides had their own little Jiujiu, Wang Ling naturally refused to let Zhuge Ke's plan succeed.
If Zhuge Ke proposed to lead troops to Anfengdu at this time, it would inevitably make Wang Ling wary again, and even disgusted with Zhuge Ke, making him think that this Zhuge Ke is really a thief.
Just when Zhuge Ke was still preparing the wording, suddenly the Chinese army hurriedly came in and reported: "General Qiji, Sima Yi, the Taifu of Wei, suddenly led troops from Yanzhou to the south, and has now broken through Ping'a, and the troops are under Shouchun City, and Wang Ling, the governor of Yangzhou, sent a messenger to ask for help. ”
Zhuge Ke couldn't help but be stunned, he deliberately looked out the window, that's right, this snow hasn't melted yet, according to common sense, this time is not the time to use soldiers, why did Sima Yi come over like this?
"Where is the messenger?" Zhuge Ke asked.
"It's out of the gate."
"Pass him in." Zhuge Ke commanded in a deep voice.
The messenger sent by Wang Ling hurried in, bowed to Zhuge Ke, and handed over Wang Ling's handwritten letter.
Zhuge Ke carefully read Wang Ling's letter, and asked the messenger in detail about Shouchun's situation, and finally determined the situation in Shouchun.
I have to say that Sima Yi is really an old fox, the ruthlessness of the shot, the danger of using the army, there is indeed no one to beat, marching in such an icy and snowy place, it must be a great price, you must know that the weather in Yanzhou is much colder than Huainan, but it is much colder, the weather in Huainan this year is already extremely cold, it is conceivable that Yanzhou is even colder.
Sima Yi sent troops at this time, and he would inevitably bear a lot of injuries and illnesses, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, just to catch Wang Ling off guard, Sima Yi really had to sacrifice his blood.
replied to the letter and sent Wang Ling's messenger, Zhuge Ke immediately sent someone to find Zhang Zhen and discuss with him about rescuing Shouchun.
In his reply to Wang Ling, Zhuge Ke said that the Wu side would send reinforcements as soon as possible, and Wang Ling's side must strengthen the defense, stick to Shouchun, and not give Sima Yi any chance to break the city.
Zhang Zhen rushed over, and when he heard about Sima Yi's raid on Huainan, he was also surprised, and in this case, it is estimated that only crazy people can do it.
However, the military situation on Shouchun's side is urgent, and it is imperative for Wu Jun to go to the rescue.
Zhang Zhen couldn't help complaining: "Wang Ling, that old horseman, didn't agree with us to enter Shouchun before, but this time as soon as he heard that Sima Yi led the troops to fight, he hurriedly sent someone to ask for help, which is really treacherous." ”
Zhuge Ke smiled and said: "Wang Ling is not treacherous, how can he climb to the position of Yangzhou governor?" This time, Sima Yi personally led the troops to come, and Wang Ling knew that it was difficult to resist, so he took the initiative to ask us for help. But it's so good, Wang Ling personally invited us, isn't it natural for us to enter Shouchun, right in the middle? ”
Zhang Zhen said worriedly: "Although this is very good, but Sima Yi's 200,000 troops are attacking this time, the momentum is violent, our army is still resting, and the personnel are not in order. ”
Zhuge Ke smiled and said, "Who said that we should send troops immediately?" A certain party replied to Wang Ling, telling him that the city of Shouchun is strong, as long as it is held, Sima Yi may not be able to attack it, and our army reinforcements will arrive in a few days, this is not a day, it can be a day, or it can be a month and a half months, as long as it arrives before the fall of Shouchun, it is not a no-show. After the order was issued, the original plan of taking turns to rest was cancelled, and all officers and men on leave must return to the barracks at the original time, otherwise they would be punished according to military discipline. ”
When the news came out, everyone was in an uproar, compared with the first batch of soldiers who were on rotation, the second and third batches of soldiers who were ready to take turns on vacation were at a loss, and they watched the vacation being taken, and this year, there was no way to live.
However, no matter how much you complain, there is nothing to be done, because this is war, and a sudden war will completely change a person's life, and there is never absolute fairness in the army.
After Zhuge Ke's military order was issued, the entire Wu army camp immediately took action and entered a state of readiness, and the vacation of the whole army has been canceled, but it will not affect the Wu army who are already on vacation, they only need to return to the barracks on time.
But if the time has not returned to the barracks, then these soldiers will be heavily punished, Zhuge Ke in terms of military discipline, but never ambiguous, if you violate military discipline in peacetime, then the crime will not lead to death, but a hundred whips are inevitable, now in wartime, disobey the military order, do not say a word, the head will be served.
