Chapter 244: Wang Ling Dispatches Troops
The open and secret battle between Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, even if Wang Ling was not in the capital, he had heard of it.
For politicians, the dumping of power is omnipresent, and Xiahou Xuan is Cao Shuang's person, so it is normal to be destined to not step on the same boat as Sima Yi, and to be calculated by Sima Yi.
From the perspective of a bystander, Sima Yi doesn't seem to have done anything wrong, because as long as it is a war, you must take risks.
Wang Ling instructed: "Golden Tiger, immediately go down and order troops, and prepare to go to Anfeng." ”
Wang Jinhu was a little stunned and said: "Father, the Wu army besieging Anfeng City has as many as 120,000 horses, and our Shouchun soldiers are only 40,000 people. What's more, Sima Yi's army is not moving, so why should we bother to come out like this? ”
Wang Ling shook his head lightly and said: "To save or not to save, that's a matter of attitude, even if you can't save it in the end, put on a posture, that's the most important thing, and the general can also have an explanation." What's more, as his father is the governor of Yangzhou, Anfeng County is trapped by the enemy under his rule, and if he ignores it, it really can't be justified. ”
Wang Jinhu said hatefully: "Sima Yi is a treacherous and treacherous man, he is the governor of Pingnan, but he is standing by in Huaibei and watching death and not saving him, and he prefers us to fight this first battle, which is really sinister." ”
Shouchun soldiers and horses are not many, even if they are all transferred out, it is only 40,000 people, with 40,000 people against 120,000, it is difficult to have a chance of winning, once the confrontation, the loss of troops will inevitably be inevitable, the Wang family has worked hard to run Huainan for many years, and the losses are all their own strength!
Wang Ling chuckled disapprovingly, and said: "Don't worry, Sima Yi is very thief, he has so many pairs of eyes staring at him, no matter how he dares to act recklessly, we don't move, Sima Yi is also very likely not to move, as soon as we move, he will inevitably move." ”
Wang Jinhu was suspicious, but he didn't dare to question it face-to-face, so he had to say yes respectfully and go down to count the soldiers and horses.
There are about 40,000 defenders in Shouchun, which is probably the most powerful in the Huainan cities, but Wang Ling didn't dare to take all the men and horses out, he still left more than 10,000 people to defend the city, and left Shouchun with 30,000 troops, looking at the direction of Anfeng.

"Father, I just received news from Huainan that Xiahou Xuan and Cao Liang were lucky not to die in the battle of Anfengdu, and have now fled to Anfeng City. It's really hateful, these Wu people are simply chickens and dogs, more than 100,000 people can't even deal with 30,000 people, and they were killed by Cao Liang, the general of Wu State, Zhuge Jin. Cao Liang, a thief, is he really unlucky? ”
Sima Shi said angrily, originally in their plan, Xiahou Xuan's department was trapped by the Wu army, and there was almost no possibility of escaping, or die or be captured, no matter the result, it was acceptable to Sima Shi.
But they never expected that Xiahou Xuan and Cao Liang actually broke out of the encirclement, making their plans all come to naught.
What's even more odious is that Cao Liang actually picked up a leak in the breakthrough and killed Zhuge Jin, the general of Wu State.
No matter what the final result of this war is, Cao Liang killed the general of the enemy country, this credit must have been lost, and when he thought of this, Sima Shi couldn't help but have a blocked chest and a depressed chest.
Sima Yi was calm and calm, not shocked, but bowed his head slightly: "Cao Liang's luck is really good, he can kill Zhuge Jin." Zhuge Jin is a great figure, although he does not have the talent of his brother Zhuge Liang, but in Eastern Wu, he is also a pivotal figure, but unfortunately, it is gone. ”
Sima Shi said hatefully: "Such a big credit, I actually let Cao Liang pick it up, is this guy's luck really so good?" ”
Sima Yi glanced at him and said lightly: "Luck is also part of strength, those who can take the rank of general among the ten thousand armies are by no means general, this Cao Liang is really a bit outstanding." However, the current leader of the Wu army, but Zhuge Jin's son Zhuge Ke, he must avenge his father, whether Cao Liang can escape this catastrophe is the real luck. ”
Sima Shi said with joy on his face: "Yes, Cao Liang thought that he had picked up a great merit in vain, but he inadvertently provoked Zhuge Ke, Zhuge Ke is now in command of the Danyang elite soldiers, I am afraid that he is the strongest army in Wu State, he wants to find Cao Liang to take revenge, Cao Liang must be in a catastrophe." ”
Zhuge Ke is eager for revenge, and will inevitably gather heavy troops to besiege Anfeng City, the bravery of the Danyang soldiers is famous in the world, with the defenders of Anfeng and the remnants of the southern army, it may be extremely difficult to hold Anfeng City without losing it.
Cao Liang killed Zhuge Jin very happily, but as everyone knows, it attracted Zhuge Ke's deep hatred, and it was really a horse race, and he didn't know if he was blessed, but I don't know if he can escape this catastrophe.
If there are no reinforcements, it is impossible for Anfeng City to hold for a long time, which is naturally beyond doubt, as for the reinforcements? Then it depends on the mood of his Sima Yi father and son.
The details of the battle of Anfengdu, Sima Yi had already reported to the imperial court quickly, and Sima Yi took the initiative to assume the responsibility for the defeat of the army, and submitted his resignation to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to send a suitable person to take his place.
Sima Yi knew very well that the imperial court would not send any capable people to take over his position now, and if there was really such a candidate, Cao Shuang would definitely not let himself lead the troops to the battle.
So Sima Yi's hand is playing very high with retreat, he seems to be saying, it's not that I don't want to save Xiahou Xuan, I really don't have that ability, now the army has just been defeated, the army is unstable, and it needs to rest urgently, so the matter of marching has to be slowed down.
In fact, Sima Yi played a time difference, handing the chapter from Huaibei to the imperial court, and waiting for the imperial court to come over again, this time will take at least a few days, if Zhuge Ke wants to take revenge, these few days will be enough to take Anfeng City.
There is no doubt that the imperial court will definitely not be able to send anyone else to replace him, so he can only try to appease Sima Yi as much as possible, so the crime of defeat will be covered up.
However, the imperial court will definitely issue an order urging Sima Yi to march into Anfeng, and then send troops after receiving the order, it will not be too late, as for when it will arrive at Anfeng City, I'm sorry, this really can't be answered, war, there will always be uncertain factors, and God can know whether the Wei army can successfully cross the Huai River and arrive at Anfeng City.
