Even if Wang Ling was not in the capital, he had heard about the overt and covert fights between Sima Yi and Cao Shuang.

For politicians, the struggle for power is omnipresent. Xiahou Xuan is Cao Shuang's man, so he is destined to be in the same boat as Sima Yi, and it is normal for him to be plotted by Sima Yi.

However, Sima Yi did this very secretly and could completely shirk the responsibility. From the perspective of a bystander, Sima Yi did not seem to have done anything wrong, because as long as it is a war, he must bear risks.

Wang Ling ordered: "Jinhu, go down immediately and order troops to prepare for the expedition to Anfeng."

Wang Jinhu said with some astonishment: "Father, the Wu army besieging Anfeng City has as many as 120,000 troops. We have only 40,000 troops in Shouchun. Going to Anfeng is like hitting an egg against a stone. What's more, Sima Yi's

The army is standing still, why should we bother to do this?"

Wang Ling shook his head gently and said: "To save or not to save, that's a matter of attitude. Even if you can't save in the end, putting on a posture is the most important thing. The general can also give an explanation.

What's more, my father is the governor of Yangzhou, and Anfeng County under his rule is besieged by the enemy. It would really be unjustifiable if he ignores him."

Wang Jinhu said bitterly: "Sima Yi is a treacherous old man. As the governor of Pingnan, he stood by and watched Huaibei die without saving anything, and let us fight this first battle. His intentions are really sinister."

Shouchun didn't have many troops. Even if they were all mobilized, they would only have 40,000 troops. With 40,000 men against 120,000 men, it would be difficult to win. Once a confrontation occurs, the loss of troops and generals is inevitable. The Wang family has worked hard to manage Huainan for many years, and they have lost everything.

It’s your own strength!

Wang Ling chuckled disapprovingly and said: "Don't worry, Sima Yi is a very thief. There are so many pairs of eyes watching behind him. No matter what, we dare not act recklessly. If we don't move, Sima Yi will probably not move either.

If we move, he will definitely move."

Wang Jinhu was doubtful, but he didn't dare to question it face to face, so he had to say it was right and went down to organize his troops.

There are about 40,000 people in the Shouchun garrison, which is probably the most powerful among the cities in Huainan. However, Wang Ling did not dare to take all the troops out, so he still left more than 10,000 people to defend the city.

He left Shouchun with an army of 30,000 people and headed towards Anfeng.

"Father, I just received news from Huainan that Xia Houxuan and Cao Liang survived the Battle of Anfengdu and have now fled to Anfeng City. It's really abominable. These Wu people are just like local chickens and dogs.

Tens of thousands of people, not even 30,000, could not be dealt with, and Cao Liang even killed the Wu general Zhuge Jin. Is this thief Cao Liang really out of luck?"

Sima Division was very angry. Originally, in their plan, Xiahou Xuan's troops were trapped by the Wu army, with almost no possibility of escape. They would die or be captured. Regardless of the outcome, Sima Division could accept it.

But they never expected that Xia Houxuan and Cao Liang would break out of the tight encirclement, causing all their plans to fail.

What's even more disgusting is that Cao Liang actually took advantage of the situation during the breakout and killed Wu's general Zhuge Jin.

No matter what the final outcome of this war was, Cao Liang's credit for killing the enemy's general must have been lost. Thinking of this, Master Sima couldn't help but feel a blockage in his chest, and he was filled with depression.

Sima Yi was calm and unfazed, he just nodded slightly and said: "Cao Liang is really lucky to be able to kill Zhuge Jin. Zhuge Jin is an amazing person, although he is not as talented as his younger brother Zhuge Liang.

But he was also a very important figure in Soochow, but it's a pity that he just disappeared."

Master Sima said bitterly: "For such a great achievement, Cao Liang actually picked it up. Is this guy really so lucky?"

Sima Yi glanced at him and said calmly: "Luck is also a part of strength. A person who can take the first rank of general among thousands of armies is by no means an ordinary person. This Cao Liang is really a bit extraordinary. However, Wu Jun

The current leader is Zhuge Jin's son Zhuge Ke. He will definitely avenge his father. Only if Cao Liang can escape this disaster will he truly be blessed with good luck."

Master Sima said with joy on his face: "Yes, Cao Liang thought that he had gained a great achievement for nothing, but he accidentally provoked Zhuge Ke. Zhuge Ke now commands Danyang's elite troops, which is probably the strongest army in Wu State. He

If you want to seek revenge on Cao Liang, Cao Liang will definitely be doomed."

Zhuge Ke is eager for revenge, so he will definitely gather a large number of troops to besiege Anfeng City. The bravery of Danyang soldiers is famous all over the world. With Anfeng's few guards and the remnants of the Southern Army, it may be difficult to defend Anfeng City without losing anything.

An extremely difficult thing.

Cao Liang killed Zhuge Jin happily, but little did he know that it aroused the deep hatred of Zhuge Ke. It was a real misfortune, which was not a blessing, but he didn't know if he could escape this disaster.

Without reinforcements, Anfeng City would not be able to defend it for a long time. There is no doubt about this. As for reinforcements? That depends on the mood of Sima Yi and his son.

Sima Yi had already reported the details of the Battle of Anfengdu to the imperial court. In the memorial, Sima Yi took the initiative to take responsibility for the defeat, submitted his resignation to the imperial court, and requested the imperial court to send a suitable candidate to replace him.

Location.

Sima Yi knew very well that the imperial court would not send any capable person to take over his position. If there was such a candidate, Cao Shuang would definitely not let him lead the army.

Therefore, Sima Yi was very good at using retreat to advance. He seemed to be saying, It's not that I don't want to save Xia Houxuan, but I really don't have the ability. Now that the army has just been defeated, the morale of the army is unstable, and it is in urgent need of rest, so it is necessary to advance.

Slow down again.

In fact, Sima Yi was playing with a time lag. He delivered the memorial to the court from Huaibei and waited for the court to issue an order. This trip would take at least several days. If Zhuge Ke wanted to take revenge, these few days would be enough.

An Feng City was captured.

There is no doubt that the imperial court will definitely not be able to send anyone else to take over, so they can only try their best to appease Sima Yi, so that the crime of defeat will be covered up.

However, the imperial court will definitely issue an order urging Sima Yi to march to Anfeng. It will not be too late before sending out troops after receiving the order. As for when they will arrive at Anfeng City, I'm sorry, I really can't answer this. What about war?
