The cold comes and the summer comes and goes, and it is another year in a hurry.

Wang Ling stood at the head of Shouchun's city, looking at Sima Jun's company camp in the distance, with a melancholy look on his face.

When Sima's army besieged the city, Wang Ling firmly believed that as long as it took half a year or even three months at most, Sima Yi would not be able to capture Shouchunlai, and he would definitely withdraw his army in disgrace. After all, Shouchun City has sufficient grain and grass materials, complete defense facilities, Sima Yi's labor expedition, the supply of grain and grass is extremely difficult, and the reinforcements of Wu State can be reinforced at any time, Sima Yi's siege of Shouchun will eventually be a tiger and a hasty end.

But although Wang Ling thought he knew Sima Yi very well, this time he still looked away, Sima Yi's determination, confidence and patience were absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Wang Ling came to the conclusion that Sima's army would support for half a year at most, which was carefully calculated, and if he could not take Shouchun within half a year, he would withdraw because of the exhaustion of grain, because the supply of grain and grass to support the 200,000 army fighting was definitely a terrifying number, although the grain and grass reserves of Wei were not low, but they needed to be transferred from Luoyang and other places, and the consumption in the middle was also extremely amazing, if the battle was fought for a short time, there was no problem, but if it was necessary to cope with the high-intensity war for a year and a half, it was indeed difficult.

But this seems to be difficult for Sima Yi, after he surrounded Shouchun, he did not launch an attack on Shouchun, purely besieged but not attacked, like a garrison, such a low-intensity state of war, the consumption of grain and grass is naturally the lowest, not to mention, Sima Yi also organized the army of Huainan to manage and cultivate the original tuntian in Huainan, and ate locally, greatly reducing the burden of transporting grain and grass from Beijing.

On the contrary, on Wang Ling's side, although it is claimed that the grain reserves are sufficient, but after Shouchun was surrounded, not a single grain of military food of the Huainan Army entered the account.

After a year of siege, Shouchun began to have a grain and grass crisis, Wang Ling had to implement grain and grass rationing, the army's grain and grass supply was halved, and the price of grain and grass in Shouchun City soared, from the initial dozens of dollars a stone to 10,000 yuan a stone, and now it has just entered the first ten years, the price of grain has exceeded 100,000 yuan a stone, and it is often priceless and unmarketed, the city is full of hungry people, the city is full of hunger, and people compete to eat.

Wang Ling was miserable about Sima Yi's tactics, and it seemed that he really underestimated Sima Yi's patience.

Sima Yi knows very well that Shouchun is a fortified city, if the means of forcible attack are adopted, it will be in the hands of Wang Ling, and it is likely to pay a very heavy price, and may not be able to take Shouchun, and a series of problems brought about by the strong attack will inevitably give Sima Yi a headache, such as the compensation for the dead, the treatment of the wounded, the replenishment of reserve soldiers, the problem of military food consumption, and the morale impact caused by repeated attacks.

Therefore, Sima Yi thought about it again and again, and decided to adopt the strategy of besieging but not attacking, that is, he planned to besiege Wang Ling to death, no matter how much grain and grass in Shouchun City was, it could only last for a year and a half, Sima Yi decided to spend a year to slowly consume Wang Ling. If it doesn't work in one year, then two years, if it doesn't work in two years, then three years, anyway, there won't be a grain of grain growing in Shouchun City, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians will have to eat and drink, and one day they will eat and drink all of them, Sima Yi has time to wait.

What Sima Yi has to do now is to besiege and blockade, they have set up dozens of miles of company camps around Shouchun City, of course, these company camps are not all troops, many camp tents are empty, the reason why Sima Yi even set up empty camp tents is just to give the defenders of Shouchun a sense of oppression and fear, so that they have a feeling of a large army pressing the city, and make them believe that the Sima army besieging the city does have 200,000 people or more.

But in fact, the besieging army Sima Yi has been controlled at about 100,000 people, and the rest of the army is deployed in the Hefei area, responsible for sending reinforcements.

Besieging a city of more than 70,000 people with 100,000 people is obviously not enough in terms of troops, 100,000 people are distributed on all sides of the city, and there are only 25,000 people at most in each direction.

Therefore, while besieging the city, Sima Yi ordered to dig deep trenches and build high bases to block the possible breakthrough road of the defenders.

As for the 100,000 troops responsible for reinforcements, they were deployed by Sima Yi in Hefei and Lu'an, Sima Yi sent nearly half of the army to help, but it was not for the complete annihilation of Wu's reinforcements, according to the previous experience of fighting with the Wu army, Sima Yi also knew that the Jianghuai area was covered with a dense water network, many rivers and lakes, and the Wu army relied on the advantages of the water army, and could advance and retreat freely, and it was not difficult for Sima Jun to defeat the attack of the Wu army, but if you wanted to annihilate the Wu team, it was very difficult.

Anyway, Sima Yi's southern expedition this time, the real target to deal with is only Wang Ling, for the Eastern Wu army that tried to stir up the situation, Sima Yi at most gave it a head-on blow and repelled it.

As for the complete annihilation and heavy damage to the Wu army, it was completely too much thinking, in the area of the Jianghuai water network, the Wu army relied on the advantages of the water army to attack and retreat, and it was as slippery as a loach, and it was very difficult for Sima Jun to catch him.

Fortunately, the water systems of the Yangtze River basin and the Huai River basin are not connected, and no matter how powerful the Wu navy is, it will not be able to drive the warship to the water surface of the Huai River, otherwise the entire Huainan would have fallen long ago.

Zhuge Ke had launched three attacks in this year, but he was continuously repelled by Sima Jun and was never able to get close to Shouchun.

And Wang Ling, who was waiting for reinforcements from Eastern Wu in Shouchun, was waiting for him, but he never saw any figure.

The situation in Shouchun has become more and more difficult, the lack of food has greatly damaged the morale of the Huainan army, an army that can't even eat enough, what else can you expect?

Wang Ling originally thought that if he took refuge in Wu State, he would be able to sit back and relax, even if Sima Yi's army would attack, as long as Wu Guo sent troops, he would definitely be able to defeat Sima Yi.

But Sima Yi's tactics of besieging the city and sending reinforcements made Wu's army repeatedly deflated, and they had no chance to get close to Shouchun at all.

In despair, Wang Ling's face was melancholy, so far, Sima Yi has not launched an attack on Shouchun once, but his siege strategy has endlessly exhausted the strength of the Huainan army.

"Father, the Wu people can't count on it, but the child has a plan, I don't know if it's feasible?" Wang Feixiao suggested. Reading with quick eyes_
