Chapter 210 Retreat

When Wang Ling decided to raise troops, he still sent envoys to Wang Chang of Jingzhou, Guanqiu Jian of Yuzhou, and Zhuge Dan of Hefei.

But very unfortunately, Wang Chang wrote to the court at this time: "Sun Quan exiled good ministers, the two palaces are divided, and the state affairs are declining day by day. You can take advantage of provocations to control Wu and Shu; use troops between Baidi and Yiling, Guizhou, Wu Zigui, Fangling, and Fangling are all in the north of the Yangtze River, and the Minyi are connected to Xincheng County, so they can be attacked."

The imperial court immediately agreed to use Wang Ji as the governor of Jingzhou.

Wang Chang then joined forces with Xincheng prefect Zhoutai to attack Jiangling.

At that time, Zhuge Ke, the general of Wu State, took over the town of Wuchang, the former prime minister Lu Xun, and commanded his trilogy. He found out that Huainan was about to change, and asked Sun Quan to raise his troops to prepare for the war and try to capture Huainan.

However, Sun Quan at this time is no longer the Sun Quan during the Chibi War, and the battle for the Second Palace lasted for seven years.

Both inside and outside the Wu Dynasty were deeply involved in it.

Lu Xun, Gu Tan, Wu Can, Zhuge Ke, Teng Yin, Shi Ji and others supported the prince.

Bu Zhi, Lu Dai, Quan Cong, and Lu Ju supported King Lu.

Sun Quan was old and dope, bewitched by the princess Sun Luban, the state of Wu was in a state of restlessness.

Prime Minister Lu Xun was insulted to death by Sun Quan.

All Wu Guo's energy is devoted to the battle of the Second Palace.

Now that Wang Chang is attacking Jiangling, the state of Wu is too tired to deal with it, and has no time to take into account the changes in Huainan.

And Hefei also gave Sun Quan a huge psychological shadow, so he refused to accept Zhuge Ke's conspiracy.

When Wang Chang attacked Jiangling, Guan Qiujian and Zhuge Dan were indifferent.

Wang Ling also asked the imperial court to transfer Xu Yanyang's troops and horses to attack the state of Wu with Wang Chang from east to west.

Sima Yi saw through his plot and refused.

At this time, Wang Ling already had a premonition that the situation was not good.

But at this time, Linghuyu, the governor of Yanzhou, suddenly died of illness, which made Wang Ling even worse.

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.

Wang Ling could only spread his message to the four directions, abolished Wei Emperor Cao Fang, established Chu King Cao Biao, raised [-] troops from Shouchun Headquarters, requisitioned [-] young and strong men from the farmland, and marched westward to Xuchang.

After only three days of marching, some general Yang Hong led his troops away.

Then the young and strong in Tuntian fled one after another.

It can be seen that Wang Lingzhi is unpopular.

In Luoyang City.

Sima Yi stood up from the sickbed, and put on the Confucian armor under Mrs. Bai's service.

Sima Shi stood by his side, "Father is not recovering from his illness, so my son can do this battle for me."

Sima Yi said: "Wang Ling has a deep military strategy and a lot of military exploits. All of his subordinates are skilled fighters in the Jianghuai area. As a father, he is not [-]% sure of winning. How likely are you to win? Only if you go for your father, will Huainan be terrified. Ten percent of Wang Ling's strategy is not one percent! This battle is still a heart attack."

The Confucian armor is light and gorgeous, but it still makes Sima Yi's figure hunched.

Sima Yi has four wives, the first wife is Zhang Chunhua, who has three sons and one daughter.

The most doted on is the young and beautiful Mrs. Bai, who gave birth to Sima Lun.

Zhang Chunhua, the wife of the chaff, was gradually disgusted by Sima Yi, and once yelled at him: "The old man is disgusting, why bother!"

Zhang Chunhua was so angry that he went on a hunger strike to commit suicide. Sima Shi and Sima Zhao brothers also followed Zhang Chunhua on a hunger strike. Sima Yi could only come out to make amends, but afterwards he said to the left and right: "I don't care about old things. I'm so worried about it!"

However, Zhang Chunhua is not a good man and a believer. In the early years, Sima Yi refused to be recruited by Wei Wu, pretended to be sick at home, was broken by a maid, Zhang Chunhua killed him with a sword, and continued to cook afterwards.

Its family style is probably like this.

With Madam Bai present, Master Sima was much more reserved.

How could Sima Yi not know what his son was thinking?Let Mrs. Bai back down.

Sima Shi then said: "Since father is not sure, why bother to fight? Wang Lingnian is old and faint, supporting the King of Chu is unpopular! Father only needs to stay a few more days, and Wang Ling will surely defeat himself!"

"You are wrong, this battle must be decided quickly, show it to the gentry, and show it to the world!" In an instant, the once invincible demeanor returned to Sima Yi.

"The gentry, the people of the world?" Sima Shi muttered to himself.

"This battle for your father will also remove obstacles for you!"

Master Sima couldn't help feeling overwhelmed by his father's ambition.

Without Sima Yi, Master Sima would have no ambitions.

And if there is no Master Sima, Sima Yi may be a loyal minister of Wei for the rest of his life.

Isn't it God's will for Cao Wei to have this father and son?

"My son has ordered Xia Houxuan to write to Wuqiu Jian and Zhuge Dan to reassure him. Wang Guang also sent a letter to persuade his father to submit to the court."

"It's not enough, there's still one person's letter left."

"who?"

"Father." Sima Yi looked at Master Sima with a smile, "Wang Ling had a close relationship with his uncle, and he was also friendly with his father in the early years. Wang Ling's pursuit of Xuchang but not Luoyang shows that his heart is not strong, he has no will to die, and he has no death If he has no ambition, he will not fight to the death. To write a letter for his father, to forgive his crimes, Wang Ling must be lucky, and my army will suddenly arrive, and his fighting spirit will definitely collapse."

Sima Shi bowed his hands in a heartfelt salute.

At that time, Sima Yi was seventy-one, and Sima Shi was forty-two.

……

Niutoushan was easily captured by Chen Tai.

Jiang Wei's army is small, and there are not many troops left here to defend.

"Hu Lie died for the country?" Chen Tai's eyes moved.

"Yes." Yang Zheng respectfully.

After thinking for a while, Chen Tai said: "Hu Lie has always been arrogant and self-willed, so it is common sense to die in the battle."

"Now that Niutoushan is captured and Qushan is besieged, Jiang Wei is helpless, so the king's contribution should be the first." Yang Zheng changed the topic.

Everyone is dead, so it's Guo Huai who should have the headache.

Chen Taidao: "Jiang Wei fought alone, and the [-] to [-] troops from Yongliang failed to encircle and suppress them. They advanced and retreated calmly. His men and soldiers are unparalleled. In the future, they will definitely be a worry for the country."

"Zhuge Kongming can't do it, let alone Jiang Wei?" A person beside Chen Tai said.

Yang Zheng had never seen this person before, but he still bowed to him politely.

"This is Wang Jing, Wang Yanwei, the prefect of Longxi appointed by the imperial court, and Yang Zheng, Yang Xingyun, the lieutenant who protects Qiang." Chen Tai introduced them.

Isn't Wang Jing the guy who gave Jiang Wei his head?
There are so many people surnamed Wang in the world.

However, he underestimated Jiang Wei so much, which made Yang Zheng a little unhappy. No wonder he fell into Jiang Wei's hands in the future, "Jiang Wei can mobilize [-] to [-] people from Yongliang with only [-] people. Kou, isn't Yongliang exhausted?"

Wang Jingdao: "The battle of Qushan was not caused by Jiang Wei alone. If Wang Jinhu hadn't caused the rebellion, this battle would have continued. How can Wei Yili force the northern invaders without making enemies? Jiang Wei’s small victory will surely lead to the defeat of Shu. How can he last long if he is good at martial arts but without Kong Ming’s literary skills?”

Yang Zheng was taken aback for a moment, but this opinion was not bad.

Those who can leave their names in history books are not ordinary people.

Wang Jing's ability to serve as the prefect of Longxi must have two brushes.

Chen Tai quite agrees, "What Yan Wei said is true."

After staying on Niutou Mountain for four or five days, an envoy from Guo Huai came from the west.

Jiang Wei had already retreated, and the two cities of Qushan were isolated and helpless. Ju'an led the crowd to surrender, but Li Xin led the army to fight a bloody road and returned to Shu with Jiang Wei's support.

The Battle of Koji Mountain is over.

But it's not over.

One is that Hu Lie, the prefect of Nan'an, was killed in battle, and the other is that Wang Jinhu, the first offender, did not obey the law.

There are rumors that Wang Jinhu fled into Xiping territory.

Yang Zheng couldn't help frowning.

What is this Wang Jinhu doing in Xiping instead of fleeing to Shu?
Could it be that Linghu Sheng brought it?
The key is that this has pushed Yang Zheng to the forefront again.

The prefect of Xiping is Lu Zhi in name, but in reality the power is in the hands of Yang Zheng.
