Sima Yi has always been famous for his plan and then moves. Others can watch three steps in chess, but Sima Yi can see at least ten steps away. From Yanzhou and long-distance raiding Huainan, Sima Yi has prepared several plans. Now he is easily defeated Ping'a and forced to cross the Huai River, all the situation is still under Sima Yi's control.

Wang Ling was frantically shrinking his troops and trying to defend Shouchun. Wang Ling had been operating Huainan for many years, and Shouchun was his deliberate specialization. Even if it was a great enemy, he would not be willing to give up easily.

However, Wang Ling's approach is reasonable. After all, Shouchun is not an ordinary territory, but the capital of Huainan and a first-class important town. If you give up Shouchun, it would be equivalent to giving up the entire Huainan. Obviously, no one is willing to bear such a price.

Wang Ling's behavior was completely expected by Sima Yi, so after hearing Wang Ling shrinking his troops to defend Shouchun, Sima Yi smiled slightly, and Wang Ling's actions could not escape his plan.

This made Sima Yi feel a little moved. The ages of him and Wang Ling are almost 150 years old. They have fought for half their lives, but they are still circling around the routine, without any new ideas at all.

Thinking about the battle of Shangdang not long ago, Sima Yi did not fight so easily. Although he had an absolute advantage in military strength like now, he was hitting walls everywhere and being restrained everywhere, which was very bad.

The reason for such a dilemma was entirely because of Cao Liang's unexpected tactics. In Cao Liang's tactics, there seemed to be nothing that could not be given up. They were all abandoned by the critical obstacles and strategic areas. However, this kind of abandonment was not really given up. The Bingzhou Army reduced the burden of defense, but improved its ability to maneuver combat. Cao Liang continuously annihilated two Sima Army's troops in high-speed maneuvers, causing Sima Yi to suffer significant losses.

If Cao Liang was asked to defend Huainan, he would most likely give up Shouchun and transfer his main force to the Jianghuai area. Sima Yi would be led by his nose. If he was not careful, he would bite him hard.

Such a fighting style undoubtedly made Sima Yi very troubled. Cao Liang's army's mobility was too strong, and it was difficult for Sima Yi's army to catch up with his rhythm. Moreover, Sima Yi's best-quality attacks became targets for others to break. But once Sima Yi shrinks his troops and embraces them in a group, there is no big problem with defense. But the biggest problem is that you are here to attack. When will you achieve the results of such a bloated formation and slow movement?

In the Battle of Shangdang, Sima Yi suffered a lot. He had been marching for half his life and fought in the world. When did he fight such a frustrated battle? Even when Sima Yi was in the battle with Zhuge Liang in Guanlong, he insisted on not fighting. He seemed passive, but he took the initiative everywhere and dragged Zhuge Liang to death alive.

But in front of Cao Liang, a junior, Sima Yi did not get any advantage. It felt really unhappy that he was led by someone.

Fortunately, Wang Ling is not Cao Liang, and Huainan is not Bingzhou. Wang Ling's normal playing style is just right, but Sima Yi can formulate a plan to siege the city and fight aid without any effort.

Shouchun has strong defense and sufficient food and grass reserves. Even if Sima Yi attacks for a strong attack, he will definitely not be able to take it down in a short period of time. Instead of doing so, it is better to surround and not attack, draw out the main army and destroy the reinforcements of Wu first, which can be regarded as a breaking Wang Ling's thoughts. Shouchun's lonely city will be a place that will be destroyed if it is surrounded for a long time.

Therefore, Sima Yi quickly made a strategic arrangement, and ordered Sima Shi and Wang Chang to lead 100,000 troops to surround Shouchun, with a high base and a deep trench, and only surround but not to attack. However, for the army that attempted to escape from the city, Sima Yi asked Sima Shi to decisively block and not to let one soldier escape from the encirclement.

At present, Wang Ling withdraws his troops and defends Shouchun. Moreover, Shouchun is now well-equipped and has enough food and a strong city. Wang Ling will definitely not have the idea of ​​breaking through. Therefore, after Sima Shi and Wang Chang besieged the city, they only need to set up some simple camp gates to block the internal and external traffic in Shouchun.

As for deep trenches and high trenches, that is the next plan. Sima Yi is preparing to dig several trenches around Shouchun City that are several meters wide and several meters wide. Such trenches cannot jump over even the best war horses. Outside the trenches, high trenches are built with fences. Once the construction is successful, it will completely cut off Wang Ling's chances of breaking through. Even if Wang Ling doesn't want to defend Shouchun, there will be no chance.

Sima Yi and Sun Li led another 100,000 troops to the south to fight against the reinforcements of the Wu Kingdom.

After the resumption, the Wu army camp in Niuzhu naturally became deserted. One-third of the Wu army hurriedly left Niuzhu, returned to Wuzhong, and went to spend the New Year with their family.

The remaining Wu Jun was also divided into two batches, one batch took turns off after ten days, and the other batch took turns off after twenty days, and each batch had ten days off.

The first batch of soldiers who were resting on the go returned home happily, while the rest of the Wu soldiers were waiting for a long time. Even the simplest exercises could not be maintained in the entire Wu army camp.

Zhuge Ke didn't care about this. His army was usually known for his strict military discipline and good at fighting. At this time, it was the New Year. Even if the military discipline was a little loose, Zhuge Ke would not say anything, because this round off was formulated by him. Nowadays, one-third of the Wu army is on vacation, one-third is resting, and only one-third is on combat readiness duty.

It is very normal for Wu Jun to be a little lazy after such distribution.

Zhuge Ke himself was not going home. Although his family was also in Jianye, he had hardly celebrated the New Year at home since Zhuge Ke led the army. It was not that he didn't miss home or his wife and children. But every New Year holiday, he wanted to be with his father.

Zhuge Jin died in Anfengdu, so every year during the New Year, Zhuge Ke stayed in Huainan as if he was with his father. After all, Anfengdu was always in the territory of Wei, and Zhuge Ke never had the opportunity to go to the place where his father died to pay tribute to him. However, he believed that his father's heroic soul would be with him and would always protect his safety.

The situation this year is a bit special. Wang Ling surrendered to the State of Wu, which means that the land in Huainan has already belonged to the State of Wu. Zhuge Ke's journey to Anfeng Du is theoretically feasible, so Zhuge Ke has the intention to go to Anfeng Du Du once.
