Sima Yi did not argue with Sima Zhao's actions of spending a lot of money to redeem Wang Yuanji. Although the price this time was quite high, it seemed nothing to the Sima family, who now holds the power of the world.

In order to cultivate the dead soldiers and cultivate power, the Sima family was always struggling in economics and even faced difficulties several times. Fortunately, they survived all of them. Now that the Sima family has the power of the world, they no longer have to consider financial resources. Even such a huge ransom is just a drop in the bucket for the Sima family.

When Wang Yuanji was taken back, he was full of the face of the Sima family. As the wife of Sima Zhaoming, letting her stay in the enemy camp for a long time was indeed a detriment to the Sima family's reputation.

But after actually taking Wang Yuanji back, Sima Zhao regretted it. If he had known that this was a buy-one-get-free deal, Sima Zhao would rather let Wang Yuanji die in Bingzhou, so that he would not have been embarrassed.

How to deal with the children she brought back has become Sima Zhao's most difficult task. It seems that it will not be possible to leave Wang Yuanji. Not to mention that the Sima family still needs to rely on the power of the Wang family in the court. If Wang Yuanji is abandoned, Sima Zhao may become a laughing stock for the people of the world.

So Sima Zhao could only grit his teeth and swallow it into his stomach. He threw all his hatred on Cao Liang, wishing he could eat his flesh and drink his blood. Sima Zhao was more active than anyone else in sending troops to Bingzhou.

When he was in charge of Luoyang, he did not have the ability. Now that Sima Yi's army has returned to Luoyang, its strength is enough to crush Cao Liang. When will it send troops become Sima Zhao's most urgent matter.

As for Wang Yuanzhao, she had already been instigated to the cold palace by Sima Zhao. Although she was still named Sima Zhao's wife, she had never seen Sima Zhao again since she returned to Sima Mansion.

Sima Yi was not aware of all this, and Sima Zhao was also hard to say, not to mention that Sima Yi is now focusing on government affairs and military affairs, and he has no time to care about family affairs.

Therefore, Sima Yi smiled at the two sons' active request for battle. Their attitudes were good, but when dealing with Cao Liang, Sima Yi thought he could not act too hasty, and at least in a short time, he could not rush to launch an attack.

Cao Liang lived a relatively stable life in the new year of Jiaping. Since he learned that Sima Yi had transferred a large number of war horses from Liangzhou to Beijing, he could basically conclude that Sima Yi would not launch an attack on Bingzhou in the near future.

Because Sima Yi was not aimless to call so many war horses. If he just added some war horses, he would not have needed so many numbers. He called such a large number of war horses at once, then there was no doubt that Sima Yi was preparing to build a brand new and huge cavalry team.

The training of cavalry does not mean that it can be achieved overnight, nor does it mean that cavalry can be formed by preparing a few war horses. The training of cavalry takes a lot of energy and a long time.

Obviously, it was the last Battle of Shangdang that Sima Yi was deeply stimulated and realized that if you want to fight with the Bingzhou army, infantry alone would not work, and you had to form a large-scale cavalry.

Although the Sima Army has a lot of cavalry, infantry still occupies a large part of the entire military proportion structure, and such an army structure will naturally have a little less mobility.

Sima Yi realized the importance of cavalry and increased the training of cavalry. This shows that in the next Battle of Bingzhou, the Sima army's cavalry must be coming in full force. Sima Yi's strategic changes gave Cao Liang a warning.

Now Sima Yi controls the Cao Wei regime, controls huge manpower and material resources, and it is not difficult to form a large cavalry unit.

For the Bingzhou Army, having three cavalry battalions and 30,000 cavalry has already touched the ceiling. With the current financial and manpower of the Bingzhou Army, it is indeed difficult to increase the number of cavalry.

Cultivating a cavalry costs equivalent to ten infantry. This expensive price is indeed difficult for any army to bear. Sima Yi did his best to build a huge cavalry this time, which really put a lot of pressure on Cao Liang.

According to the information sent back by Luoyang, Sima Yi allocated at least 50,000 war horses from Liangzhou this time. Even if he could not train 50,000 cavalry, conservative estimates would be constrained to increase at least about 40,000 cavalry. In addition to the number of cavalry that Sima army originally had, there was no problem with Sima Yi expanding the cavalry to 70,000 to 80,000.

Sima Yi mainly played the cavalry card, which was to form a crushing force on the Bingzhou army, because Sima Yi also realized that destroying the Bingzhou army would be the last battle in his lifetime, and he wanted to clear the way for the Sima family's power to reach the top.

Sima Yi returned in the last battle of Shangdang, so Sima Yi must be extremely prepared this time before attacking again. Without absolute certainty, Sima Yi will not take action easily.

The advantages of the Bingzhou Army are indeed reflected in the cavalry, but the experience of the Shangdang Battle proves that this advantage is minimal. When 25,000 cavalry were used to deal with 30,000 cavalry, the two sides ended in a draw.

If Sima Yi more than doubled the number of cavalry in Sima's army, it would inevitably crush the Bingzhou cavalry. This is probably Sima Yi's final strategic concept. He was desperate to make all his efforts to build a huge cavalry, just for this decisive battle in Bingzhou.

Now the pressure has been put on Cao Liang's side, and the generals of Bingzhou have also offered suggestions.

Some people suggested that the Bingzhou Army also expand the cavalry organization to fight against the Sima Army, but such an arms race can easily drag down the Bingzhou economy. After all, Sima Yi used most of the world's resources to improve his combat power. Bingzhou's economic foundation was weak and did not have enough financial resources to arm more cavalry.

Some people suggest expanding the flat box van array. After all, Hanoi's actual combat proves that the flat box van array is indeed effective against cavalry.

But the problem is that the flat box truck has poor mobility. If Sima Jun does not take the initiative to attack, the flat box truck will almost become a decoration. Moreover, Cao Liang could think of the method of using the catapult to crack the flat box truck. It may not be that Sima Yi would not have thought that after the defeat in Hanoi, Sima Jun would have studied the flat box truck. It would be difficult to achieve such a magical record.

Therefore, when dealing with cavalry, the flat box truck can only be an auxiliary means. In real confrontation, it is still necessary to use cavalry to control cavalry.

The generals were talking about it, but Cao Liang was confident because he had a killer move in his hand that was useless.
