Chapter 814 - Difficult Questions to Answer
"What's wrong?" Cao Liang asked bluntly, he knew Huan Fan's temper, if he really didn't have an important military situation of 100,000 urgent, he would definitely not bother him when he just went home.
Huan Fan didn't say anything, but directly handed him a letter he had just received, Cao Liang hurriedly read it, his expression also changed, and said: "After enduring it for half a year, Sima Yi still did it." ”
That's right, what Cao Liang just held in his hand was the urgent information from Yanzhou, and Cao Liang arranged a detailed work in Yanzhou to find out the movements of Sima Dajun as soon as possible, and immediately reported it to Bingzhou.
Sima Yi has been stationed in Yanzhou for half a year, although he has always maintained a high pressure on Huainan. But Sima Yi has never marched, now the heavy snow is closing the road, the weather is freezing, people generally believe that Sima Yi will not choose to march at this time, if he sends troops, he will definitely choose to be in the spring next year, when the flowers are blooming, it is a good time to use troops.
But at this moment, Sima Yi once again subverted people's perception of him, launched an attack when others thought it was inappropriate to attack, and dispatched troops and horses when others thought it was inappropriate to send troops.
In fact, it is already Sima Yi's usual trick, under such harsh climatic conditions, Sima Jun suddenly launched an attack, which can indeed disrupt Wang Ling's deployment, and may even make Wu's ** team too late to rescue, and Shouchun will fall.
Cao Liang read this information carefully, although it only contained the movement of Sima's army, but Sima Yi poured out 200,000 troops and horses to attack Huainan, which was obviously premeditated, and what he was afraid of should be the offensive and defensive alliance signed between Wang Ling and Wu State.
Previously, it was rumored that Wang Ling had secretly formed an alliance with Eastern Wu, which had been put on the table, and Wang Ling's method of luring wolves into the room attracted the opposition of many Wei people, and everyone was worried that the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu would be anti-guest and annex the Huainan defense line, so that the hinterland of the Central Plains of Wei would face the attack of Wu, and Wang Ling would definitely become a sinner of Wei.
But in order to protect himself, Wang Ling seems to be unable to take care of so much, although he has heavy troops, but Wang Ling is afraid of Sima Yi in his bones, so he must not rely on the help of the Eastern Wu people to resist Sima Yi's attack.
The Wu people have always been known for their cunning and insidiousness, and what they are best at and good at is treachery, so that they pay attention to the spirit of contract, which is simply seeking skin with the tiger, in the eyes of the Wu people, what will never change, only interests.
The reason why they are willing to send troops to help Wang Ling is obviously very ambitious, which is also what Cao Liang is most worried about, whether it is the battle between himself and Sima Yi, or the battle of Huainan between Sima Yi and Wang Ling, it is purely the civil war of Wei itself, but at this time, the people and horses of Eastern Wu suddenly mixed in, this is no longer the civil war of Wei, and the war is developing in the direction of a big war between Wu and Wei.
This is obviously not what Cao Liang wants to see, relatively speaking, the struggle for power and profit with Sima Yi is a relatively pure civil war, and the consequences of Wu's entry are really unpredictable.
"Who do you think you should support in this battle of Huainan?" Cao Liang looked at everyone and threw out a very baozha topic.
The strategists looked at each other, unable to answer.
This is indeed a rather difficult question to answer, Sima Yi is their undying enemy, the battle of the Shangdang that has just ended, the two sides have also gone through a battle to the death, for the strategists, I wish Sima Yi would defeat the battle, so that the state can get rid of the enemy in their hearts.
However, the army of Wu occupied Huainan, but it was unacceptable to them as Wei people, the existence of the Huainan defense line is to resist the attack of Wu, once the whole line is lost, not only Huainan is lost, the result is that the entire hinterland of the Central Plains is threatened by Wu, and it is inevitable that life will be ruined.
From the perspective of personal grievances, I naturally hope that Sima Yi will lose the battle, but in the general interests of the country, I don't want Sima Yi to lose the battle.

Wang Ling's collusion with Dongwu was already a secret matter, and Sima Yi's delay in launching an attack seemed to have a great connection with this matter.
Wang Ling already has a feeling of rushing to the doctor now, he doesn't care what lures the wolf into the house or not, what is in front of him is only the question of survival or destruction.
Originally, Wang Ling's plan was very perfect, supporting Cao Biao, the king of Chu, to ascend the throne in Xudu, and Huainan and Yanzhou responded at the same time, making a big noise, and there were bound to be many forces opposing Sima Yi to join in, so that Wang Ling would be relatively easy to deal with Sima Yi.
But Ling Huyu leaked the news, and in the end the situation evolved into the last thing Wang Ling wanted to see, after losing this strong reinforcement from Yanzhou and Cao Biao's banner, Wang Ling became alone, and he didn't dare to compete with Sima Yi at all.
Therefore, in order to give himself a chance to live, and in order for his three clans not to be destroyed by Sima Yi, Wang Ling didn't care about betraying or betraying the court, so he directly led the wolf into the house and surrendered to Eastern Wu, wanting to attract Eastern Wu's soldiers and horses to help him.
However, Wang Ling still has some bottom line, that is, he has not lost control of Huainan, in his agreement with Dongwu, the first thing he insists on is that the Wang family wants to be the king of Huainan for generations, and does not let Dongwu easily meddle in the affairs of Huainan, in Wang Ling's thoughts, he will always be the king of Huainan, as for planting that flag, he completely needs to see his mood and the surrounding situation.
Therefore, Sima Yi did not march for a long time, and Wang Ling did not agree to Zhuge Ke to lead his troops into Shouchun to help them defend the city, after all, the battle still did not start, once the Wu army entered Shouchun, Wang Ling's voice in Huainan would be reduced, and such a situation was naturally what Wang Ling did not want to see.
Zhuge Ke waited in Niuzhu but was very anxious, Sun Quan entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, let him be fully responsible for the Northern Expedition, but since Zhuge Ke received the order, the originally expected battle of Zhunnan did not happen, Wang Ling naturally refused to let them enter Shouchun easily, Zhuge Ke can only do now is to wait, only Wang Ling and Sima Yi fight, the army of Eastern Wu can take advantage of it.
But although Huainan was tense, there was no conflict, and Zhuge Ke was impatient. ... Friends who read books, you can search for "Blue Chinese Network", you can find this site as soon as possible.
