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

But it was very unfortunate that Wang Chang wrote to the court at this time: "Sun Quan exiled his good ministers, the two palaces were divided, and the state was in decline. He could take advantage of provocations to control Wu and Shu; he sent troops to Baidi, between Yiling, Guizhou, and Wu , Zigui, and Fangling are all in the north of the Yangtze River. The people and barbarians are connected with Xincheng County and can be attacked."

The imperial court immediately approved the appointment of Wang Ji as the governor of Jingzhou.

Wang Chang then and Zhou Tai, the governor of Xincheng, launched an army to attack Jiangling.

At that time, Zhuge Ke, the general of the Wu State, took over the town of Wuchang on behalf of the former Prime Minister Lu Xun and commanded his troops. He discovered that Huainan was about to change and asked Sun Quan to prepare for war and plan to capture Huainan.

However, Sun Quan at this time was no longer the Sun Quan during the Battle of Chibi, and the battle between the two palaces lasted for seven years.

Wu Guo was deeply involved in it both inside and outside the court.

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

Bu Zhi, Lu Dai, Quan Cong, Lu Zheng and others supported King Lu.

Sun Quan was old and dim, and was bewitched by Princess Sun Luban, who made the country of Wu restless.

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

All the energy of the Wu Kingdom was devoted to the battle for 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 worry about the changes in Huainan.

Hefei also gave Sun Quan a huge psychological shadow, so he did not accept Zhuge Ke's plan.

Wang Chang attacked Jiangling, but Guanqiu Jian and Zhuge Dan were indifferent.

Wang Ling also asked the imperial court for the tiger talisman, and mobilized Qing Xu Yan to raise troops and horses, and he and Wang Chang attacked the state of Wu from the east to the west.

Sima Yi saw through his plan and refused to allow it.

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

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

The arrow is on the string and must be fired.

Wang Ling could only spread the message to all directions, deposed Wei Emperor Cao Fang, established Chu King Cao Biao, raised 30,000 troops from Shouchun, recruited 50,000 young men from the fields, and marched westward to Xuchang.

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

Then the young men from the field fled one after another.

It is evident that Wang Lingzhi is unpopular.

Inside Luoyang City.

Sima Yi stood up from the sickbed and put on his Confucian armor with Mrs. Bai waiting on him.

Sima Shi stood beside him and said, "My father is still ill, so my son can do this battle for me."

Sima Yi said: "Wang Ling has deep military strategies and many military exploits. His subordinates are all warriors in the Jianghuai River. As a father, I am not even 100% sure of victory. What are your chances of winning? Only by going for my father will all the people in Huainan be afraid. Wang Ling’s ten percent strategy can’t be used at all! This battle is still about the heart.”

The Confucian armor was light and gorgeous, but it still made Sima Yi's figure stoop.

Sima Yi had four wives. His wife, Zhang Chunhua, had three sons and one daughter.

The most favored one was the young and beautiful Mrs. Bai, the son of Sima Lun.

Zhang Chunhua, the wife of Chao Nang, was gradually disgusted by Sima Yi. She once shouted and cursed: "This old thing is disgusting, why bother to come out!"

Zhang Chunhua was so angry that he committed suicide on a hunger strike. Brothers Sima Shi and Sima Zhao also followed Zhang Chunhua on a hunger strike. Sima Yi could only come out to apologize, but afterwards he said to his neighbors: "I don't care about old things. I'm so worried about you!"

However, Zhang Chunhua was not a man of faith. In his early years, Sima Yi refused to be summoned by Wei Wu and pretended to be ill at home. When a maid broke into him, Zhang Chunhua killed him with a sword and continued to cook afterwards.

His family tradition is probably like this.

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

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

Sima Shi then spoke: "Since my father is not 100% sure, why rush to accept the challenge? Wang Ling is old and faint, and supporting the King of Chu is unpopular! If my father only needs to stay a few more days, Wang Ling will definitely defeat himself!"

"You are wrong, this battle must be fought quickly, for the nobles to see, for the world to see!" In an instant, the once invincible demeanor returned to Sima Yi.

"The nobles are the people of the world?" Master Sima murmured to himself.

"This battle as a father will also remove obstacles for you!"

Master Sima couldn't help but feel heartbroken by his father's ambition.

Without Sima Yi, Sima Shi would have no ambition.

And without Sima Shi, Sima Yi might have been a loyal minister of Wei for the rest of his life.

Isn't it God's will that Cao Wei has such a father and son?

"My son has ordered Xiahou Xuan to write to Guanqiu Jian and Zhuge Dan to reassure him. Wang Guang has also sent a letter to persuade his father to submit to the imperial court."

"It's not enough, I still need a letter from one person."

"Who?"

"As a father." Sima Yi looked at Master Sima with a smile, "Wang Ling had a good relationship with his uncle and was also friendly with his father in his early years. Wang Ling planned for Xuchang instead of Luoyang, which shows that his heart is not strong, he has no will to die, and he has no intention to die. Wang Ling must be lucky if he writes a letter to his father to forgive his sins. If our army suddenly arrives, his fighting spirit will definitely collapse."

Master Sima bowed his hands in sincerity.

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 was small, and he didn't have many troops left to defend the area.

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

"Yes." Yang Zheng said respectfully.

After thinking for a while, Chen Tai said: "Hu Lie has always been brave and arrogant, and willfully acted on his own will. It is normal for him to die in the battle."

"Now that Niutoushan has been captured and Qushan is besieged, Jiang Wei is unable to do anything, so your contribution should be ranked first." Yang Zheng changed the subject.

Everyone is dead, Guo Huai should have the headache.

Chen Tai said: "Jiang Wei fought alone, and Yongliang's 50,000 to 60,000 troops encircled and suppressed him without success. He advanced and retreated calmly. His troops are unparalleled, and he will definitely be a worry for the country in the future."

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

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

"These are Wang Jing and Wang Yanwei, the governor of Longxi, and Yang Zheng and Yang Xingyun, the captain of the Qiang Guards appointed by the imperial court." Chen Tai introduced them.

Isn’t Wang Jing the guy who gave Jiang Wei his head?

There are so many people named Wang in the world.

However, Yang Zheng was slightly unhappy that he underestimated Jiang Wei. No wonder he would fall into Jiang Wei's hands in the future. "Jiang Wei can mobilize 50,000 to 60,000 people in Yongliang with just 10,000 people. If he leads 100,000 people to the north in the future, Kou, isn’t Yongliang exhausted from running for his life?”

Wang Jingdao: "The battle at Qushan was not caused by Jiang Wei alone. If not for Wang Jinhu's rebellion, the battle would have been more than this. The Shu Kingdom is small and weak, and Liu Chan and Fei Yi are all thieves guarding the territory. They have no long-term plan. Jiang If Wei forces himself to invade the north, how can he not create enemies at home? Jiang Wei's small victory will definitely lead to a great defeat for Shu. How can he last long if he is good at military strategy but has no civilized skills?"

Yang Zheng was stunned for a moment. This opinion was not bad at all.

Anyone who can leave his name in the history books is not an ordinary person.

Wang Jing must have had two skills to be able to serve as the governor of Longxi.

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

After stationing on Niutou Mountain for four or five days, Guo Huai's envoy arrived from the west.

Jiang Wei had retreated, and the two cities of Qushan were isolated and helpless. Ju'an led his troops 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 Qushan is over.

But it's not over yet.

Firstly, Hu Lie, the governor of Nan'an, was killed in battle, and secondly, Wang Jinhu, the first offender, did not commit suicide.

There is a detailed report that King Jinhu fled into the territory of Xiping.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but frown.

Why did Wang Jinhu go to Xiping if he didn't flee to Shu?

Could it be that Linghu Sheng brought it here?

The key point is that Yang Zheng has been pushed to the forefront again.
