Chapter 243: Eating People Without Spit Out Bones
Shou Chun.
Since Wu Jun retreated, Wang Ling's hanging heart was finally let go.
After the defeat in the Battle of Shaobi, Wang Ling was forced to retreat to Shouchun, while the Wu army took advantage of the victory, and the situation in Huainan became dangerous.
Wang Ling, as the general of Zhengdong, supervised the military affairs of Yangzhou and was responsible for the military and political affairs of the entire Huainan.
In this battle of Shaobi, if Sun Li could give support and cooperation, Wang Ling would not at least be no match for Quan Cong, and it was precisely because Sun Li deliberately missed the appointment that Wang Ling, who was alone in the depths, was defeated by Quan Cong and was forced to withdraw to Shouchun.
This also made Wang Ling hate deeply.
Originally, Wang Ling was stationed in Shouchun as the general of Zhengdong, and Sun Li was stationed in Hefei as the assassin of Yangzhou.
The reason for this situation has to start with Sima Yi, Sima Yi has been on the rise over the years, with the merits of conquering Guanlong and pacifying Liaodong, he is ranked as the third duke, and after the death of Emperor Ming, he became one of the auxiliary ministers.
Sima Yi's step-by-step promotion made Wang Ling, who was older, had a better background than him, and had higher qualifications than him, jealous, Sima Yi was already a very popular minister in the court, and Wang Ling only made a feudal official, and his status was much worse than Sima Yi, Wang Ling's dissatisfaction was reasonable.
Wang Ling never thought that Sima Yi's level and ability were much higher than him, Sima Yizhi's promotion was fast because he was lucky and chose Shu and Gongsun Yuan as opponents, which was much weaker than his one-sided Wu State.
Therefore, Wang Ling secretly held his breath, wanting to do something in Huainan, repel the attack of Wu State, and improve his prestige and merits.
But he didn't expect to lose the first battle, which also made Wang Ling depressed. And Sun Li, who led to his defeat, was Sima Yi's person, so Wang Ling secretly wondered if Sun Li had received a hint from Sima Yi and asked him to come to pull Wang Ling's hind legs?
Shouchun was surrounded, which made Wang Ling very anxious, if Shouchun lost, let alone want to be promoted, I am afraid that he would not even be able to keep his current position.
Therefore, Wang Ling personally deployed Shouchun's defense and prepared to stick to Shouchun.
But I didn't expect the Wu army to come like a cloud and go like a gust of wind, and before the two sides could fight, the Wu army had already disappeared without a trace.
This couldn't help but make Wang Ling is puzzled, for several days in a row, he sent scouts to inquire about the news of Wu Jun, he wanted to see the true intentions of Wu Jun, where was their target?
After a few days of investigation, the scout finally figured out the situation and immediately reported it to Wang Ling.
The imperial court sent Sima Yi as the governor of Pingnan to rescue Huainan, Wang Ling knew about this, and he had already been notified by the imperial court.
In fact, Wang Ling was very annoyed when he saw Sima Yi, and he didn't want to see him, this guy obviously came to Huainan to grab credit.
However, Wang Ling was not ambiguous at all about the news that should be investigated, and he understood it clearly.
The defeat of An Fengdu's Wei army reinforcements made Wang Ling secretly relieved, Sima Yi suffered a defeat, and the two were evenly divided.
However, what made Wang Ling a little puzzling was that with Sima Yi's ability, this battle should not be lost, or at least not so badly, unless it ......
The worst thing to lose in this battle was naturally Xiahou Xuan, the general of Zhengnan, and even a little bit, Xiahou Xuan's entire army was wiped out, Wang Ling faintly felt that Sima Yi must be inseparable from this matter.
However, on the bright side, Sima Yi has done an impeccable job, and no one can find fault with it, and Wang Ling also relies on years of experience to feel that this matter is not so simple.
According to the latest information, Xiahou Xuan led his troops to flee to Anfeng City, and now Anfeng City is besieged by the Wu army's Zhuge Ke Department and Buqi Department, and the situation is critical.
"Father, what should we do over there in Anfeng City, should we send troops to reinforce it? If something happens to General Zhengnan, no one will be able to escape responsibility. His son Wang Jinhu said.
Wang Jinhu's Wang Ling's third son, Wang Ling has a total of four sons, the eldest son Wang Guang is now serving in the court, the second son Wang Feixiao and the third son Wang Jinhu are by his side, the fourth son Wang Mingshan has a lot of attainments in calligraphy, likes to dance and ink, does not like military, so he is not around.
Wang Jinhu is a fierce general, who has been following Wang Ling in Huainan, and has fought with the Wu army many times, and his achievements are brilliant.
Wang Ling is also entangled in this matter, it stands to reason that he is the governor of Yangzhou, responsible for the defense of the entire Huainan, and Anfeng County is also under his rule, if there is anything wrong with Anfeng City, Wang Ling will not be able to get rid of it.
But now the use of the Wu army, but a little he can't see through, Shouchun soldiers and horses are not too many, if the nest is poured out, Shouchun will become an empty city, if the Wu people suddenly attack, how can Shouchun resist the enemy?
But Xiahou Xuan, the general of Zhengnan, is the cousin of the great general Cao Shuang, if there is any accident, Cao Shuang's anger may not be able to withstand ordinary people.
Wang Ling is now deliberately befriending Cao Shuang, he wants to find a backer in the court, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, there is really nothing wrong with this sentence, if he wants to balance Sima Yi, the only person who can override Sima Yi's head in the court is Cao Shuang.
Regardless of that consideration, Wang Ling felt that he could not stand idly by.
"What's going on with Sima Yi now?" Wang Ling asked.
Wang Jinhu said: "Since the defeat of An Fengdu, Sima Yi has been shrinking in Huaibei, packing up the remnants of the army and reorganizing the army, and there should be no plan to cross the river and fight again for the time being." ”
Wang Ling sneered, 70,000 horses, only a few thousand people were lost in the battle of Anfengdu, at best, they only injured a fur, so they still need to clean up the remnants of the army and reorganize the army, Sima Yi, the old fox, the drama is a little too much, right?
Sima Yi's move is obviously a bit of a drama, maybe only those powerful people who have never fought in the DPRK and China will not doubt it, but Wang Ling's eyes have been mixed in the Huainan battlefield for many years, and he still doesn't know what is going on on the battlefield?
If you lose half of your men or more than one-third, you will have heavy casualties, and it will indeed be difficult to sustain the army without regrouping, but the loss of troops is only about one-tenth, which has no impact on the formation of the army at all, and it can be re-entered into battle at any time.
During the battle of Anfengdu, Wang Ling was a little suspicious of Sima Yi's deception, and now it seems that it is really a little greasy, it was originally Sima Yi and Xiahou Xuan who attacked the Wu army before and after, but it turned out that Xiahou Xuan was deeply encircled, this old fox really eats people and doesn't spit out bones!
