At this moment, Sima Yi was still stationed at Huyukou, discussing the plan of entering the army with the generals.

Constrained by Cao Liang's guerrilla tactics, for several months in a row, Sima Yi harvested Liao Liao in the battle of Shangdang, but instead lost his troops and lost a lot of money.

Even his carefully calculated battle of Huyukou failed to achieve the desired results, and the two sides won and lost each other, and in the end it could only end in a draw, which was a big blow to Sima Yi, who was determined to pacify and merge the state in one fell swoop.

The battle of annexing states is probably falling into a protracted war.

This is obviously the last thing Sima Yi wants to see, after all, from the current situation, Sima Yi is embattled, and those dissident forces are all ready to move, if Sima Yi can't pacify and merge the state as soon as possible, it is very likely that those hostile forces will rise up and cause him more trouble.

Therefore, Sima Yi was still inclined to accept Zhonghui's plan to raid Jinyang in this unfavorable situation, perhaps such a military operation was a bit risky, but it was an opportunity to end the war as soon as possible.

It's a pity that before he could make a decision, this urgent report from Luoyang was handed to him, and he was really afraid of anything, what Sima Yi was most worried about finally happened.

Wang Ling of Huainan, regardless of prestige or control of the forces, is Sima Yi's number one imaginary enemy, it stands to reason that Wang Ling should be the first target that Sima Yi needs to clear, but Cao Liang of Bingzhou was the first to jump out, raised troops against him, and Bingzhou is close to Luoyang, the greatest threat to Sima Yi, Sima Yi weighed again and again, decided to implement the strategy of distant friendship and close attack, with the position of Tai Lieutenant to win over and appease Wang Ling, and to mobilize heavy troops to implement encirclement and suppression.

For Wang Ling, who has a heavy army in Huainan, Sima Yi is still quite fearful, and what he is most worried about is that Cao Liang is in Bingzhou, and Wang Ling is raising troops in Huainan at the same time, so that Sima Yi will be attacked by the enemy on his back, and the situation will be difficult to deal with.

It's just that what Sima Yi didn't expect was that the initiator of this rebellion turned out to be the Yanzhou assassin Ling Huyu, if it were not for Ling Huyu's instigation and gelding, I am afraid that Wang Ling would not have the idea of setting up a new monarch to confront the imperial court for the time being.

"Linghu foolish?" Sima Yi muttered the name softly, pondering thoughtfully.

As long as it is an official with more than 2,000 stones in Cao Wei's political arena, Sima Yi does not know anything, but in Sima Yi's eyes, Ling Huyu is a clown who jumps off the beam.

Linghu Yuzhi is very talented, and his eyes are low, even he can't look down on him from his uncle Hongnong Taishou Linghu Shao, and he is estranged from him.

It stands to reason that he is Cao Shuang's cronies, and this purge makes it difficult for Linghu Yu to escape, but it is precisely because he is Wang Ling's nephew, coupled with his position in the field, Sima Yi has decided to let him go for the time being, and after cleaning up Wang Ling in the future, a little Linghu Yu will deal with him like an ant.

So Sima Yi didn't bother Ling Huyu at all this time, but he didn't expect that this most inconspicuous jumping clown really jumped out this time and encouraged Wang Ling to set up a new monarch together and seek to usurp the throne.

Sima Yi couldn't help but be a little angry, was it Ling Hu who was foolish, or was he Sima Yi couldn't hold a knife, and he usually didn't even bother to look at the three indiscriminate characters, but at this time, he would actually bully him into and peeing on his head, and if he gave them three colors, he was about to open a dyeing workshop, which was really unreasonable!

Ling Huyu and Wang Ling probably thought that Sima Yi was fighting and annexing the state, and he didn't care about the south, so he dared to dare to plot against him, but as everyone knows, Sima Yi has been closely watching the changes in the situation on the southern front, and once he finds that they have any changes, he will decisively suppress them as soon as possible.

Therefore, after Sima Yi got the news, he immediately gave up the plan to raid Jinyang, and instead prepared to withdraw his troops and transfer them to the southern front to quell the rebellion.

In fact, in Sima Yi's heart, there is a distinction between light and heavy, the weight of Huainan is far above the state, after stabilizing Huainan, he can let go of the attack and the state, but after the real accident on the Huainan side, Sima Yi will definitely pounce on that side at the first time.

The Huainan defense line is an extremely important defense line for the Wei state, and together with the Jingzhou defense line, it has become a barrier against the attack of the Wu state, if the Huainan defense line is lost, the entire hinterland of the Central Plains of the Wei state will be fully invaded by the enemy.

For a long time, Wei has been painstakingly operating two major defense lines, the western front is the Yongliang defense line, which is to defend Shu, and the eastern line is the Huainan-Jingzhou defense line, which is to defend Wu.

Zhuge Liang sent troops five times on the western front, but they all returned in vain, and the war on the eastern front was more intensive, almost a small fight in three years, a big fight in five years, Sun Quan did not stop tossing on the eastern front, but no matter how many battles were fought, the Huainan defense line was always solid as a rock, and did not give Sun Quan any opportunity to take advantage of.

Moreover, Wang Ling's rebellion suddenly reduced the defense line of Wei to nothing, if Wang Ling colluded with Eastern Wu again, Wang Ling's rebels and Eastern Wu's army were bound to break through the Huai River and introduce the war into Yuzhou, Yanzhou,

Qingzhou and other places will even threaten the safety of Luoyang, the capital division.

For a long time, the strategy of defending the enemy from outside the country has certainly strengthened the strength of the Guanlong and Huainan defense lines, but at the same time, it has also weakened the defense capability of the inland prefectures and counties, and if Wang Ling introduces the war to Yuzhou and other places, it will be a great test for the entire southeast defense line of the Wei state.

Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and other places have not had a war for almost several decades, and the armaments are lax, the defenses are weak, and the terrain of the Pingchuan River north of the Huai River is almost impossible to defend, which will have disastrous consequences.

Therefore, Sima Yi attached great importance to the southern front, and just got the news that Wang Ling and Ling Huyu intended to rebel, Sima Yi decided to give up the war and merge the state, and first solve the problem of Ling Huyu in Yanzhou and Wang Ling in Huainan.

As for Cao Liang of the state, Sima Yi decided to clean up Wang Ling and then turn around and clean him up, anyway, the battle situation in the state has already fallen into a stalemate, and the next time he attacks the state, Sima Yi is determined to make more adequate preparations, judging from the results of this time, this battle is still a little too hasty.
