Chapter 822: Hold on
Wang Jinhu said: "Ping A is the Shouchun barrier, Ping A is lost, Shouchun will not become a lonely city, the lonely city can not be defended, now Sima Yi commanded an army of 200,000 to come, unstoppable, my father might as well give up Shouchun, go south to Niu Zhu to Zhuge Ke, and then take the opportunity to recover Huainan." ”
Wang Ling showed hesitation on his face, after all, he had worked hard to manage Shouchun for many years, and if he gave up so easily, he was really a little unwilling.
But as Wang Jinhu said, Sima Yi's 200,000 army is coming, and he is afraid that he will not be able to resist the troops of Huainan.
Wang Feixiao said: "Father, the child thinks that giving up Shouchun is the next policy, although Sima Lao Thief has 200,000 troops, but in our hands, there are still 70,000 horses, my father has worked hard to manage Shouchun for many years, the city defense is strong, the grain and grass are sufficient, Sima Lao Thief wants to break Shouchun in a short time is not easy. What's more, Zhuge Ke's army is in Niuzhu, and his father can send someone to ask him for help. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and it is impossible to sit back and watch the fall of Shouchun on the part of the Wu State, as long as the reinforcements of the Wu State arrive, the inside and the outside should be combined, so why not break the army of Sima Lao Thief. ”
To tell the truth, Wang Ling really can't give up Shouchun, he is here, he is the king of Huainan, whether it is Sima Yi or Wu Guo, they all attach great importance to him, and once he leaves Huainan, he is nothing, and when he arrives in Wu State, he can only send people under the fence and look up to people to breathe, how can he be so free in Huainan.
Wang Feixiao's suggestion made Wang Ling very moved, although it was terrifying to say that Sima Yi led an army of 200,000 to come, but with the strength he had accumulated in Huainan for so many years, it should not be difficult to hold on for a period of time.
Now the key to deciding the outcome is the reinforcements of the Wu State, if the Wu State can send a strong reinforcement, it can completely reverse the current unfavorable situation of the war.
Now that he has surrendered to Wu, the city of Shouchun has also hung the banner of Wu, if he asks for help from Wu at this moment, Wu should not be able to see death and not be saved, after all, once Shouchun falls, Wu will also suffer losses.
Previously, Zhuge Ke asked to send troops to help defend Shouchun several times, but Wang Ling did not agree, and now that the situation has deteriorated, Wang Ling can only lower his posture and ask Wu to send troops in exchange for reinforcements, Wang Ling believes that Wu will definitely be satisfied.
It's just that he wants to dominate Huainan and establish himself as the king is going to fall through the cracks, and it is easy to invite God to send God, once Zhuge Ke's army enters Shouchun, and then wants to expel it, it will be difficult.
But now that the enemy is present, Wang Ling can't take care of it much, and saving his life must take precedence over everything.
So Wang Ling ordered to shrink his forces and concentrate all the troops stationed in other places in Huainan to Shouchunlai, and Shouchun City also entered a state of alert and battle, and was ready for battle.
At the same time, Wang Ling sent someone to report to Zhuge Ke, asking him to send troops to rescue, and the inside and outside should be combined to break Sima Yi together.
The messenger was sent out, the transfer orders of the various armies were also sent, and Shouchun City also entered a state of imminent battle, and seeing the men and horses of each battalion and each unit preparing for war in an orderly manner, Wang Ling's gloomy and depressed mood was slightly relieved.
Shouchun is the largest city in Huainan and an important strategic fulcrum on the southeastern front of Wei, where Wei has invested a lot of resources over the years to build it into an impregnable strategic fortress.
Wang Ling has served as the governor of Yangzhou for some years, he is familiar with everything here, when he stands at the head of Shouchun City, a pride arises spontaneously, this is his home field, Sima Yi labor expedition, what are you afraid of?
It's ridiculous that when I heard the news that Sima Yi's army was attacking Ping'a and losing it, I was at a loss, and the six gods had no master, it seemed that I was really a little old, and I would have the idea of abandoning the city and fleeing.
Abandon the city and flee? Where can you run away? Only in Shouchun, in Huainan, is there a valuable embodiment, leaving here, penniless!
Thinking back then, he was also experienced in a hundred battles, and he was able to sit in his current position, not by virtue of human sophistication, but by real achievements, when he faced a strong enemy, he never flinched, how could he have such a ridiculous idea now?
He and Sima Yi can be called a pair of fatal enemies, they have been fighting in the air for so many years, no one is convinced of anyone, and now, there is finally a chance to fight with him, then leave your fate to God, the battle of Shouchun will also become an ultimate battle, and the winner will have a chance to truly reign in the world!

In order to prevent the counterattack of the Huainan army, Sun Li deliberately mobilized an elite army to cross the river first, stationed on the south bank of the Huai River, and built a deep beachhead first, so that it would be difficult for the Huainan army to destroy Sima Jun's plan to build a pontoon bridge.
And Sima Yi's army also arrived at the same time with the construction of the pontoon bridge.
On the first day of the first month of the ninth year, Sima's army crossed the Huai River and advanced towards Shouchun.
Sima Yi was quite satisfied with Sun Li's performance, no matter in any aspect, it was impeccable, and this time the selection of Sun Li as the vanguard of the Zhengyin army in the southern army could be called Sima Yi's wisest move.
No one is more familiar with Huainan than Sun Li, and Wang Ling is more familiar with him, he has served as the assassin of Yangzhou here for many years, and is familiar with the mountains and rivers, grass and trees here, and knows the deployment of the Huainan army well.
Ping'a claimed to be the first fortress in Huaibei, but under the command of Sun Li, it was taken almost effortlessly, and this bridgehead was defeated, laying a good foundation for the smooth march of Sima's army into Huainan.
In other words, Sima Yi himself may not have this ability, in terms of strategizing and planning the overall situation, Sima Yi does have excellence, but to really charge into battle, you still need a cadre like Sun Li.
When Sun Li was young, he was known for his bravery, fighting the tiger alone in order to protect the driver, and he was a real hero of fighting the tiger, and in the battle against the enemy, he was the first to charge forward, and he could be called a fierce general.
Now although Shaohua has passed away and his temples are gray, in the face of Sima Yi's call, he still did not hesitate to step forward and serve as the pioneer officer who opened the way in the mountains and built bridges in the water.
The pioneer officer did a hard and tiring job, not to mention that in this cold and cold environment, even young generals in the prime of life were daunted, but Sun Li was brave enough to take responsibility, and he did a very beautiful job, which naturally won Sima Yi's praise.
