Chapter 828 Messenger Malone
Wang Ling was like a drowning person at this moment. Seeing a straw like a life-saving rope. As soon as Wang Feixiao made a suggestion, Wang Ling couldn't wait to say: "What's my son's trick? Come on!"
Wang Feixiao said: "When Gongzhi's cousin planned an uprising in Yanzhou, he contacted Cao Liang, the auxiliary general of Bingzhou, to jointly plan to deal with the old thief Sima. Before the old thief Sima also led troops to attack Bingzhou. Shangdang fought, lost the general, and was defeated by Cao Liang. Now the situation in Huainan is in danger, and the reinforcements in the Eastern Wu are not expected. Why don't my father write a letter and ask Cao Liang for help from Bingzhou? Perhaps he can lift the siege of Huainan."
Gongzhi is the name of Linghu Yu. Wang Ling knew about Linghu Yu and Cao Liang's military advisor Huan Fan. However, Bingzhou and Yanzhou were a bit far away from Huainan.
Wang Ling looked a little sad, and shook his head and said, "Although Cao Liang from Bingzhou is a helping force, it is too far away from Huainan, and it is difficult to relieve the near fire when far water is far away."
Wang Feixiao smiled slightly and said, "Father, don't worry. The old thief of Sima is expeditioning Huainan, and the capital Luoyang is still empty. His father only needs to send someone to persuade Cao Liang to attack Luoyang. Sima Yi is worried that Luoyang will be in trouble and will definitely return to rescue. In this way, will the siege of Huainan be resolved by itself?"
"Ambassing Wei to save Zhao?" Wang Ling's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Why didn't my father think of it? A clever plan, my son's clever plan!"
Wang Feixiao felt a little embarrassed after hearing Wang Ling's praise, and said shyly: "My father was worried about Huainan. He was worried about many things every day, so he naturally didn't care about things far away. The child also read Sun Bin's military strategy recently, so he realized that this was the opportunity to surround Wei and save Zhao. Luoyang was the foundation of Sima Yi. If Cao Liang could really attack Luoyang, then Sima Yi would definitely not sit idly by and would also divide his troops back to rescue him at first. In this way, the situation in Huainan will be changed, and it is just around the corner to defeat the old thief of Sima."
Wang Ling said: "Huainan and Bingzhou are thousands of miles apart. Now Sima Yi blocked the passages to and from Shouchun. How can he send people to contact Cao Liang? It is not easy."
Wang Feixiao was confident and said, "The child had a guest named Ma Long and his courtesy name was Xiaoxing. He was from Dongping, Yanzhou. He had previously served under Gongzhi's cousin. Gongzhi's cousin sent him to Huainan. When the child saw that his martial arts were more powerful, he kept him under his tent and became a confidant. After Gongzhi's cousin had an accident, Ma Long sighed quietly in the night and felt that he was grateful for his kindness of support and wished he could repay him. This man was both intelligent and brave, and loyal. If his father wrote a letter and sent him to Bingzhou, he would definitely live up to his mission."
Wang Ling nodded and said, "My son has such a righteous man, so he can use it." So Wang Ling wrote a letter in person, sealed it and handed it over to Wang Feixiao.
Wang Feixiao bid farewell to Wang Ling and returned to his residence.
After the war was tense, Wang Feixiao was responsible for the defense of the North Gate. In order to encourage the soldiers, he moved out of the Governor's Office and ate and lived with his soldiers, which was deeply loved by the soldiers.
I'm afraid Wang Feixiao would not have expected that Ma Long would be a famous general in the future and had a prominent reputation. However, Ma Long is still a young man in his early twenties and has a slightly cold background. In this ninth-rank world, Ma Long is difficult to gain recognition from the court.
Previously, he was promoted by Linghu Yu, Ma Long worked as a low-level military officer in the Yanzhou Governor's Office. Because he went to Huainan, he met Wang Feixiao. Seeing that he had a good conversation and was quite capable, Wang Feixiao treated him like a guest of honor and became a confidant.
When Ma Long heard that Linghu Yu was defeated and captured, his life and death were uncertain, he wanted to say goodbye and return to Yanzhou. He wanted to find out the truth and wanted to repay Linghu Yu's kindness for his support. However, Wang Feixiao was worried that he would have made mistakes and tried his best to stop him. Now he went to Yanzhou, especially if he wanted to know Linghu Yu's whereabouts, wouldn't that cause trouble?
After Wang Feixiao returned to his residence, he saw Ma Long and told him that he wanted him to send a letter to Bingzhou. Ma Long happily agreed to it, accepted the task, and said that he would deliver the letter to Bingzhou.
Wang Feixiao thanked him: "This letter is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Huainan. Feixiao thanked Brother Xiaoxing. However, now Sima's old thief usurped the country and surrounded Shouchun, and it was like a mess. I don't know how Brother Xiaoxing can break through the siege. This letter must not fall into the hands of the old thief."
Ma Long smiled calmly and said, "Second Young Master, please rest assured. I have a plan to leave the city. Please do not worry."
Seeing his calm expression, Wang Feixiao was relieved. He handed over the letter Wang Ling wrote to Cao Liang to Ma Long, and then ordered his servants to bring out a whole plate of gold and said to Ma Long: "The journey of Bingzhou is long, and these powers are for money. I hope Brother Xiaoxing will not refuse."
Ma Long took only a few of them and said to Wang Feixiao calmly: "This is enough to be a burden, and no matter how much it is, it is a burden."
Wang Feixiao gave him so much gold, obviously not only as a gift, but also as a gift for thanks. However, when Ma Long faced so much gold, he did not raise his eyelids more, and only took enough money. The rest did not accept it. Wang Feixiao sighed that there are not many people in the world who can regard money as dirt.
Ma Long accepted the task, but did not tell Wang Feixiao how to break out, but just said goodbye to him and returned to his residence.
Ma Long found a worn-out dress worn by ordinary people, dressed up as displaced people, and left Shouchun City at night.
Now Shouchun is surrounded by surplus, with food shortages and hungry people everywhere, so the people in the city cannot bear hunger and have to choose to escape from the city.
Huainan completely acquiesced to this, so every night, someone would sneak out of the city and flee. Ma Long was mixed with these people and left Shouchun City.
The Sima Army blocked and surrounded Shouchun did not deliberately make things difficult for the fleeing people. As long as they passed strict inspections, they would be allowed to do so.
In fact, Sima Jun was quite welcoming to the fleeing people. The more people in the city were in exile, it means that Wang Ling was even more desperate. In addition to the people, there were also many soldiers who fled. Sima Jun warmly welcomed the surrender of the soldiers.
There is a reason why Ma Long pretended to be a fleeing person but not a defected soldier. Although the fleeing people were also under control after leaving the city and would be placed in designated places, they would be much more free than the defected soldiers. Therefore, Ma Long disguised himself as a refugee and followed a large group of refugees to the Sima Army's defense line.
