Cao Biao's suicide was both reasonable and unexpected. Sima Yi only glanced at Cao Biao's body, then turned around and left.

The court will naturally send someone else to deal with the next thing. As for whether Cao Biao will be buried according to the etiquette of the princes or the etiquette of the common people, there will naturally be some debate in the court, but for Sima Yi, it is no longer very important.

As soon as Cao Biao died, Wang Ling's plan to establish a new king went bankrupt. In a short period of time, he could no longer find any suitable replacement. In short, he had no chance to launch a rebellion under the name of establishing a new king. Now that Sima Yi was in Yanzhou, he would soon lead his troops south, and Wang Ling had been forced to rebel.

However, without Cao Biao to decorate the storefront, Wang Ling would be labeled as a rebellion once he rose up. Although he was the governor of Yangzhou, the general of the East and the general of the Conquest East, the situation might not be as he wished. Many soldiers and families on the Huainan front line were in Luoyang or Central Plains. It is really an unknown number of people who were willing to abandon their wives and children and follow Wang Ling wholeheartedly.

Sima Yi left most of his troops to the three prefects in Pingyang, Hedong, Henoi, and he led only a light army to Yanzhou. However, after arriving in Yanzhou, Sima Yi almost tried his best to pacify Linghu Yu and Cao Biao, and incorporated the Yanzhou troops under his command.

Then Sima Yi conscripted the troops from Yuzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou, gathered a hundred thousand troops, ready to go south at any time to attack Wang Ling.

"Stupid! What a stupid talent! It's so stupid!" Wang Ling held the letter just now, trembling all over with anger, his face turned pale, and he cursed angrily.

The target Wang Ling scolded was naturally his unscrupulous nephew Linghu Yu.

Originally, their plan to establish a new king was progressing very smoothly. As long as Cao Biao ascended the throne in Xudu, they could establish another court and compete with the Luoyang court held by Sima Yi, so that they could get the full support of the anti-Sima camp. To be honest, having half of the Cao Wei country would be enough to achieve great things.

But after all, his useless nephew was careless, which made Sima Yi play a good show of running a thousand miles. Meng Da had not allowed Sima Yi to enter the city at all. After half a month of persistence, the city fell. Linghu Yu was so sad that he directly blocked his body and was blocked into the bed. Before he had time to resist, Sima Yi decisively took it down.

Wang Ling knew that his nephew was good at drinking and sweet, and had beautiful concubines at home, and had fun and singing every night. The key was that you usually play like this and no one paid attention to you, but now they are planning big things. Logically speaking, they should focus on this, but Linghu Yu did his own thing as usual, which eventually led to such a tragic disaster.

In advance, Wang Ling reminded him to be careful of Sima Yi many times, because Wang Ling knew that Sima Yi was the most difficult opponent, and he would be obsessed with him if he was not careful, but Linghu Yu turned a blind eye to him and was eventually captured by Sima Yi, which completely broke his plan.

Now Wang Ling has to face such an extremely difficult situation. Linghu Yu's failure led to the fall of Yanzhou, Wang Ling lost a strong support, and Cao Biao's suicide made Wang Ling lose public opinion support. There was no royal vassal king who had the royal family to carry the banner in front of him. Once Wang Ling raised an army, it would be a rebellion. It would be very difficult to gain more support from people.

Now that the matter has been leaked, Wang Ling has forced him to rebel. Sima Yi is already in Yanzhou. If Wang Ling doesn't raise an army to fight, it will be too late when Sima Yi arrives in Huaibei.

However, if he raised an army, it was too hasty. Although Wang Ling had been committed to the uprising for this period of time, he had not made complete preparations because of the short time. After all, the current situation was very different from the original plan. If you want to correct the plan at this moment, it was too tight in time.

It was a thousand words, but this damn Linghu Yu made such a big mistake. He was careless and lost all the money. No wonder Cao Pi changed his name in anger. This guy was so stupid. Why did he be confused? He believed him, hey, the mud would never be able to support him.

"Father, the situation is urgent now, so you should make a decision early." The second son Wang Feixiao said on the side.

Wang Ling has four sons, the eldest son Wang Guang, who is now in Luoyang. He is the Shangshulang, the second son Wang Feixiao, and the third son Wang Jinhu is good at martial arts and good at fighting. He follows Wang Ling as the governor. He also has a young son named Wang Mingshan, who is good at calligraphy and articles.

Wang Ling often boasted that his four sons were both literary and military, and each of them was extraordinary. However, this time, the thoughts of these sons were not unified. Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu were Wang Ling's staunch supporters, but Wang Guang expressed his opposition and believed that the destruction of major matters should not be a disaster first. Wang Ling was very annoyed by this.

In fact, Wang Ling has already gone a long way in the path of rebellion. Even if he wants to turn back, it is too late. He can only go one way to the end.

Wang Jinhu said with some concern: "At present, less than half of the trusted troops in the Huainan army are still in danger. Once the incident is uprising, there will be no response. Now Sima Yi's army will soon move south and advance to Huainbei. Why do we fight?"

Wang Ling didn't say anything, but his face looked very bad. In fact, he also understood that although he was the governor, he did not have absolute control over the Huainan army. When his former Yangzhou Governor Sun Li was in office, he even fought with him openly and secretly, each cultivating his own power.

Although Sun Li has been transferred to the position of governor of Yuzhou, his influence in Huainan cannot dissipate in a short period of time. Those army loyal to Sun Li are actually equivalent to the nails laid by Sima Yi in Huainan. Once Wang Ling raises up, these armies will not only fail to provide him with help, but will instead be more constrained.

Because of this, Wang Ling did not dare to easily make up his mind to raise an army.

At this time, the youngest son Wang Mingshan stepped forward and said, "Why do you have to worry about your father? Huainan is close to Eastern Wu. Sima Yi is forced to force him. It is better to surrender to Eastern Wu and ask the Eastern Wu to send reinforcements to help."

Wang Ling said with some concern: "For my father, he fought with the Eastern Wu many times, and his hatred is quite deep. How could the Eastern Wu send troops to help?"

Wang Mingshan smiled and said, "The two countries are fighting each other for their own rulers. Why do you think of hatred? What's more, the people of Wu have always been tempted to look at Huainan and want to get it quickly. My father surrendered to Wu in a state of one state. Dongwu applauded, how dare not send troops?"
