If it is said that who cares most about the battle of the party, it may not be clear elsewhere, but in Yanzhou, Linghu Yu is definitely a scorpion - the only one.

For the people of Yanzhou, the party is indeed far away, in this era of relatively closed information, the vast majority of Yanzhou people do not even know that there is a big war happening on the side of the party, his life, still stay in the sunrise, sunset and rest, the so-called major events in the world, and they have nothing to do with half a penny, these people live in a muddy way, but they are happy.

As the saying goes, the less you know, the happier you are, and the more you know, the more painful it is, and Ling Hu Yu is deeply trapped in this pain at the moment.

He is now closely following the progress of the battle of Shangdang, and he specially sent his henchmen to go back and forth between Yanzhou and Bingzhou, and informed him of the latest battle reports and situations on the Shangdang side in a timely manner.

Linghu Yu desperately wanted to know the battle situation on the side of the party, which was closely related to the big things he was planning now. After Cao Shuang's ambush, Ling Huyu's panic and uneasiness reached its peak, as Cao Shuang's former cronies and staff, Ling Huyu has always been worried about being liquidated by Sima Yi, Sima Yi killed so many people in Luoyang, and many people are still very distant from Cao Shuang's relationship with Ling Huyu, but they were also killed, so Ling Huyu is deeply skeptical that he can survive the disaster.

If you don't want to sit still, you can only take the initiative to attack, Ling Huyu's biggest reliance is his uncle Wang Ling, who has just been promoted to a lieutenant and has a heavy army in Huainan, although Ling Huyu was renamed Yu by Cao Pi's edict, but he may not be really so stupid, on the contrary, he is very clever, but he lacks a little wisdom.

Although Ling Huyu took advantage of Cao Shuang's relationship to climb to the position of Yanzhou Thorn History, he himself knew that a bicycle assassin like him who did not hold the military power in his hands, Sima Yi wanted to kill him no different from strangling an ant.

The reason why Sima Yi didn't move him, Ling Huyu estimated that the biggest reason was still Wang Ling's place, after all, Sima Yi also knew that Ling Huyu was Wang Ling's nephew, and it depended on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention that there was such a layer of kinship between them, if Ling Huyu moved, it would inevitably anger Wang Ling, which was not conducive to the overall situation of Sima Yi's stability.

Therefore, Ling Huyu can still sit in the position of Yanzhou Thorn Shi as a mountain until now, all relying on the relationship between his uncle Wang Ling.

But Ling Huyu also knows that how long he can sit on the Yanzhou Thorn History seat depends entirely on Sima Yi's attitude, if Sima Yi and Wang Ling turn their faces, then the first to suffer must be himself, who makes Yanzhou much closer to Luoyang, Sima Yi may have to dial this thorn in Yanzhou before dealing with Wang Ling in Huainan.

Now Sima Yi's biggest enemy is naturally Cao Liang of Bingzhou, Sima Yixing's army mobilized 150,000 horses to conquer the north and annex the state, the purpose is quite clear, that is, to eradicate Cao Liang and the forces of the state. Of course, Ling Huyu knows the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, once Cao Liang is defeated, the second person Sima Yi wants to open the knife is probably Wang Ling and him.

Therefore, Ling Huyu was particularly concerned about the battle situation of the Shangdang, and even when he didn't get news from that side for a day, he was anxious, worried that Sima Yi would soon pacify the annexed state, and then he would move eastward and level Yanzhou in one fell swoop.

However, the news from the state side made Ling Huyu more or less relieved, the battle situation over there did not become one-sided because of Sima Yi's army, and for several months in a row, the battle situation was extremely stale, and Sima Yi's time was not too smooth.

This obviously made Ling Huyu extremely happy, from the heart, in fact, he was quite afraid of Sima Yi, after all, Sima Yi was famous for his murder, Liaodong Zhujingguan, that scene, let alone witnessing it with his own eyes, just thinking about it made people's scalps tingle.

Now that Sima Yi is deflated in Bingzhou, it is enough to prove that this old guy is not invincible in the world, which undoubtedly makes Ling Hu's foolish mind lively, taking advantage of the opportunity of Sima Yi to look at the south now, if he and Wang Ling raise troops to make trouble, wouldn't the chance of success be much greater?

So Linghu Yu sent his henchmen to Shouchun to discuss with Wang Ling about raising troops.

At this time, Wang Ling was in a tangle, when the position of the third prince that he had always dreamed of fell on his head, to be honest, Wang Ling was really a little excited, for Wang Ling, who was seven years older than Sima Yi, he had already passed the age of antiquity, and he was about to run to eight zhang, for him as an old man, he had reached the peak of his life, and it stands to reason that he should have no desire and no desire.

But Wang Ling has a thorn in his heart, which always lingers, and that is Sima Yi.

In terms of background, Wang Ling is the nephew of Situ Wang Yun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Wang family of Qi County is a prominent family in Bingzhou, which is no worse than the Sima family in Wen County, Hanoi; In terms of ability, Wang Ling, who was earlier than Sima Yi, was outstanding in terms of military exploits and political achievements, and when Wang Ling was too guarded in the mountains in his early years, Sima Yi was still pretending to be sick and bedridden at home; In terms of meritorious service, Wang Ling has been stationed in Huainan for many years, and has experienced dozens of battles with Eastern Wu, large and small, and has done his best for the southeast defense line of Wei.

But what makes Wang Ling depressed is that no matter how good his background is, no matter how great his merits, he has always been pressed by Sima Yi, when he was the assassin of Yangzhou, Sima Yi was already the governor of Yongliang, when he became the governor of Yangzhou, Sima Yi was already the captain of the dynasty, and then Cao Rong died, Cao Fang ascended the throne, Sima Yi became an auxiliary minister, and when the prince of the dynasty, Wang Ling was even more difficult to look forward to.

After the Gao Pingling Incident, Sima Yi killed Cao Shuang and became the only auxiliary minister, and the power of the court fell into his hands, although Wang Ling got the position of Tai Lieutenant he dreamed of, but this position of the three princes was more like a kind of charity for Sima Yi, in name only, so that Wang Ling was briefly excited, and continued to fall into depression.

What worries Wang Ling even more is that although Sima Yi has tried his best to woo him after he took the throne, the relationship between the two has been inseparable and hostile to each other for many years, and Wang Ling, who knows Sima Yi well, is naturally wary of him, and is always on guard against Sima Yi's possible liquidation of him.

However, it is impossible to rebel, and Wang Ling did not dare to have such thoughts if he had a few courages, but the plan of his nephew Ling Huyu to set up a new monarch made Wang Ling's eyes shine.

Perhaps this is his secret weapon to compete with Sima Yi.
