"What happened?" Cao Liang asked straightforwardly. He knew Huan Fan's temper. If he really didn't have the important military information that was urgent, he would definitely not disturb him when he just returned home.

Huan Fan did not say anything, but handed him a letter he had just received. Cao Liang hurriedly read it, and his expression changed, saying, "I endured it for half a year, but Sima Yi still took action."

That's right, what Cao Liang had just held was the urgent information from Yanzhou. Cao Liang arranged a detailed work in Yanzhou to explore the movements of Sima's army at the first time and reported it to Bingzhou immediately.

Sima Yi stationed troops in Yanzhou for half a year, and although he had been in a high pressure state against Huainan, Sima Yi never advanced. Now the road is blocked with heavy snow and the weather is cold and cold. People generally believe that Sima Yi would not choose to advance at this time. If he sends troops, he will definitely choose to go to the next spring when flowers bloom, which is a good time to use troops.

But at this moment, Sima Yi once again subverted people's perception of him. He launched an attack when others thought it was not suitable for attack. When others thought it was not suitable for troops, he dispatched troops. He unexpectedly attacked him and was unprepared. He aimed at Shouchun, Huainan.

In fact, it was already a trick that Sima Yi was used to. Under such harsh climate conditions, the Sima army suddenly launched an attack, which could indeed disrupt Wang Ling's deployment, and might even make the Wu army lose its destruction without even enough time to rescue.

Cao Liang carefully read this information. Although it only included the mobilization of Sima's army, Sima Yi had obviously planned to launch an attack on Huainan with 200,000 troops. What he feared was the offensive and defensive alliance established by Wang Ling and Wu.

It was rumored that Wang Ling had secretly formed an alliance with the Eastern Wu and was put on the table. Wang Ling's method of attracting wolves into the house attracted many Wei people's opposition. Everyone was worried that the Eastern Wu army would take the lead and annex the Huainan defense line. In this way, the central plains of Wei would face the attack of Wu, and Wang Ling would definitely become the criminal of Wei.

But in order to protect himself, Wang Ling seemed to have no time to care about so much. Although he had heavy troops, Wang Ling was afraid of Sima Yi at heart, so he could not use the help of the Eastern Wu people to resist Sima Yi's attack.

The Wu people have always been known for being cunning and insidious. The one who is best at and good at being treason is to betray them and ask them to pay attention to the spirit of contract. That is simply a matter of being accused of the tiger. In the eyes of the Wu people, the only thing that will never change is interests.

The reason why they were willing to send troops to help Wang Ling was obviously that they had great ambitions. This was exactly what Cao Liang was most worried about. Whether it was the Battle of Shangdang between himself and Sima Yi or the Battle of Huainan between Sima Yi and Wang Ling, it was purely a civil war between Wei State. However, at this time, the troops of Eastern Wu suddenly mixed in, and this was no longer a civil war between Wei State, and the war developed towards the direction of the war between Wu and Wei State.

This is obviously not what Cao Liang wanted to see. Relatively speaking, the struggle for power and profit with Sima Yi was a pure civil war, and the consequences of Wu's entry were really unpredictable.

"Who do you think you should support this battle in Huainan?" Cao Liang looked at everyone and raised an extremely explosive topic.

All the strategists looked at each other and could not answer.

This is indeed a very difficult question. Sima Yi is their undying enemy. The Battle of Shangdang just ended, and the two sides also went through a desperate battle. For the strategists, they hoped that Sima Yi would defeat the battle so that Bingzhou could get rid of the enemy in his heart.

However, the Wu army occupied Huainan, which was unacceptable to them, as the Wei people. The existence of the Huainan defense line was to resist the attack of Wu. Once the entire line was lost, not only Huainan would be lost, but the entire Central Plains hinterland was threatened by Wu, and life was inevitably devastated.

From the perspective of personal grievances, I naturally hope that Sima Yi will defeat the war, but in the national justice, I do not want Sima Yi to defeat the war. At this time, I believe that not only Cao Liang, but all the counselors are confused in their hearts. Cao Liang's question is really unanswered.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

It was already a secret matter for Wang Ling to collude with the Eastern Wu. Sima Yi has not launched an attack for a long time, which seems to be very related to this matter.

Wang Ling now has a feeling of seeking medical treatment in an emergency. No matter what he is leading a wolf into the house or not, the only thing in front of him is the question of survival or destruction.

Originally, the plan formulated by Wang Ling was very perfect. He supported King Cao Biao of Chu ascended the throne in Xudu, and responded at the same time in Huainan and Yanzhou to create momentum. Many forces against Sima Yi would inevitably join in. In this way, Wang Ling would be more relaxed when dealing with Sima Yi.

But Linghu Yu leaked the news, and the situation eventually turned into the scene that Wang Ling didn't want to see the most. After losing this strong aid in Yanzhou and Cao Biao's banner, Wang Ling became single and did not dare to compete with Sima Yi at all.

Therefore, in order to give himself a chance to survive and to prevent his three tribes from being massacred by Sima Yi, Wang Ling did not care whether he betrayed or betrayed the court, so he directly led the wolf into the house and surrendered to the Eastern Wu, hoping to attract the soldiers of the Eastern Wu to help him.

However, Wang Ling still had some bottom line, that is, he did not lose control of Huainan. In his agreement with Dongwu, the first thing he insisted was that the Wang family would be king for generations and not allow Dongwu to easily interfere in Huainan affairs. In Wang Ling's idea, he would always be the king of Huainan. As for the flag, he needed to see his mood and the surrounding situation.

So Sima Yi did not advance for a long time, so Wang Ling did not agree to Zhuge Ke leading his troops into Shouchun to help them defend the city. After all, the war still had not begun. Once the Wu army entered Shouchun, Wang Ling's voice in Huainan would be reduced. Naturally, this situation was something that Wang Ling did not want to see.

Zhuge Ke was very anxious when waiting in Niuzhu. Sun Quan entrusted him with important tasks and asked him to be fully responsible for the Northern Expedition. However, since Zhuge Ke received the order, the originally expected Battle of Junnan did not happen, so Wang Ling naturally refused to let them enter Shouchun easily. All Zhuge Ke could do now was to wait. Only when Wang Ling and Sima Yi fought, the army of the Eastern Wu could take advantage of the opportunity.

But although Huainan was full of tension, there was no conflict, and Zhuge Ke was impatient.
