If you want to raid Jinyang, there are two problems that cannot be bypassed, that is, the problem of the first supply, the operation of the army, the logistics supply of grain and grass is the most critical, people can not be without food for a day, horses can not be without grass for a day, such a large army, the daily consumption of grain and grass is already a factor of most concern.

Zhong Hui's plan is relatively long, and his elaboration in all aspects is more detailed, but Sima Yi is obviously not concerned with all his plans, but more interested in some two points.

The first point, of course, is the problem of logistical supply, and any military operation is a prerequisite problem that cannot be avoided, that is, the problem of grain and grass supply.

The second is the problem of dividing troops, if you want to raid Jinyang, it is naturally impossible for 100,000 troops to go in a swarm, it must be divided, and once the troops are divided, it will give Cao Liang the opportunity to break through, the two failures of Chen Tai and Hu Zun have already sounded the alarm for Sima Yi, for Cao Liang, who is the best at breaking through, Sima Jun must adopt the method of concentrating troops to avoid being divided and eaten by the state army.

This is obviously the core issue that Sima Yi is most concerned about, and if this problem cannot be solved, this plan is a chicken rib and has no value in implementation.

Obviously, Zhong Hui has also done a lot of thought in this regard, so the army that raided Jinyang will never be less in terms of troops, Zhong Hui adopts the method of dividing it into two, dividing the remaining 90,000 troops of the Sima army into two parts, 50,000 people go to Jinyang, and the remaining 45,000 people are responsible for logistics support.

With the current situation of the state army, it is not much of a problem to eat twenty or thirty thousand people in one go, Chen Tai and Hu Zun are a lesson from the past, so in terms of dividing the troops, Zhong Hui did not dare to divide the troops too much, 50,000 people is the lowest configuration, and Cao Liang wants to swallow 50,000 people in one bite, he does not have such a big appetite.

Half of the army was tasked with raids, while the other half was tasked with logistical support, so that the two problems that Sima Yi was most concerned about could be solved at the same time.

At present, the main force of the Bingzhou army is all concentrated in Shangdang, and the defense force on the Jinyang side is relatively weak, and Zhong Hui will use 50,000 people to raid Jinyang, which is enough in terms of troops.

And using nearly 50,000 people to serve as logistics support, it is estimated that only Zhong Hui dares to think so, but this obviously has great benefits, invisibly strengthening the strength of the logistics force, avoiding the situation of grain and grass being intercepted, and the state army really wants to snatch grain and grass from the ranks of 45,000 people, which is tantamount to pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

Sima Yi bowed his head slightly, obviously he agreed with Zhong Hui's plan, and Sima Shi immediately stepped forward and said, "Father, the child is willing to lead this army and horses to raid Jinyang." ”

Sima Yi looked at Sima Shi and then at Zhong Hui, obviously Zhong Hui's plan had been discussed with Sima Shi in advance, Zhong Hui proposed a plan, Sima Shi requested implementation, and the two complemented each other.

However, Sima Yi did not nod easily, after all, such a big military operation, at least it has to be considered again, and there is no turning back when the bow is opened, even if it can't be perfected, it must be perfected.

Although Sima Yi also felt that there was no major omission in Zhong Hui's plan, how Cao Liang would deal with it was a mystery, if Sima Jun ran to Jinyang for a long time, and the result was an empty city like Gaodu Huguan, then how would Sima Jun deal with it?

As a state governor of the state, although Sima Yi did not think that Cao Liang would give up easily, he did not rule out this possibility, after all, Cao Liang often had unexpected moves when he was fighting, so Sima Yi had to guard against it.

If Jinyang is really still an empty city, it means that Sima Jun has pounced again, in this case, it will not make much sense to take Jinyang, but it will lengthen Sima Jun's defense line and make Sima Jun's situation worse.

Therefore, Sima Yi feels that this plan is still to be discussed, of course, Sima Yi thinks that Zhong Hui's plan is very good, at least from Sima Jun's own point of view, it can be called perfect, but the only thing lacking is the estimation of the enemy, Cao Liang has always been scheming, not playing cards according to common sense, if these factors are not taken into account, the possibility of the plan failure is still quite large.

Therefore, Sima Yi did not immediately agree to Sima Shi's active request for battle, but asked them to supplement and improve this plan and make a decision later.

Sima Shi and Zhong looked at each other for a moment, with a very helpless expression, judging from their thoughts, this plan was already impeccable, and taking Jinyang was just around the corner, but Sima Yi didn't nod and agreed, so they couldn't put it into practice.

At this moment, a six-hundred-mile urgent document came up, but the six-hundred-mile urgent document was urgent, so when Sima Yi received the document, he opened it as soon as possible, and just after a few glances, Sima Yi's expression became grim.

As soon as Sima Shi and the others saw Sima Yi's expression, there must be something major happening, otherwise with Sima Yi's character, Taishan would be able to remain silent when he collapsed in front of him.

If there is anything that can move him, it must be something bigger than the collapse of Mount Tai.

After Sima Yi saw the letter, he said in a deep voice: "Chen Liutaishou Xue Zheng reported that Linghu Yu, the assassin of Chongzhou, and Wang Ling, the governor of Yangzhou, colluded with each other to intend to rebel, and there was a letter from Ling Huyu as a basis. ”

The Huainan rebellion, for Sima Yi, was equivalent to a fire in the backyard, especially at the juncture of the Northern Expedition and the annexation of the state, Wang Ling and Linghu Yu conspired to rebel, obviously killing Sima Yi by surprise.

For this northern expedition and annexation of states, Sima Yi deliberately appeased Wang Ling as much as possible, and even did not hesitate to grant Wang Ling the vacant position of Taiwei after Jiang Ji's death, hoping to stabilize Wang Ling.

The biggest purpose of Sima Yi's move is naturally not to have a situation where he is attacked by the enemy, although Wang Ling and Sima Yi have been thinking about two ambitions for many years, but after all, they have not reached the level of breaking with Cao Liang, so although Sima Yi lists Wang Ling and Cao Liang as the number one political enemy, they are still treated differently.

Cao Liang was the first to be conquered, and Wang Ling was the next target of Sima Yi's attack, although they were both in hostile forces, but Wang Ling's side was obviously not as urgent as Cao Liang's side, and Sima Yi tried his best to stabilize Wang Ling, but he didn't want to have the embarrassment of being attacked by the enemy.

But unexpectedly, what Sima Yi was most worried about finally happened.
