Huan Fan said to Cao Liang: "The news that has just come back from Luoyang, the Son of Heaven issued an edict and named Wang Ling as a lieutenant, and he is still the governor of Yangzhou, and continues to command the soldiers and horses of the southeast defense line. ”

Now Sima Yi is in control of the government, and the so-called edict of the Son of Heaven is nothing more than Sima Yi's will, Sima Yi coerced the Son of Heaven to order the locality, took the edict of the Son of Heaven and acted recklessly, or forcibly requisitioned, or bent to appease, and did everything Sima Yi's means were able to do.

To deal with Xiahou Xuan, Sima Yi used the means of dismissing him on the spot and emphasizing returning to Beijing, while dealing with Wang Ling was to seal the official and make a wish, and try his best to appease.

Now there is only the Bingzhou army under Cao Liang's command who meets Sima Yi's sword soldiers, but its potential opponent is not only Cao Liang's family, and the biggest hidden danger is Wang Ling in Huainan.

Due to the long-term war with Eastern Wu, the entire Huainan defense line was heavily assembled and unremitting, and like the Guanlong defense line, it became one of the two major military forces of the Wei state.

The land of Huainan controlled by Wang Ling is the existence that Sima Yi fears the most, if it weren't for Cao Liang's imminent move in Bingzhou, which seriously threatened the safety of Luoyang, maybe Sima Yi would list Wang Ling as the first target to deal with.

But now, in order to avoid being attacked on his back, Sima Yi can only use the method of distant friendship and close attack, gather a large number of troops in Hanoi, and be ready to invade and merge the state at any time, and for Wang Ling, Sima Yi is extremely appeased, and awarded Wang Ling, one of the three princes, the post of Tai Lieutenant, and also made Wang Ling the only three dukes who are not in Luoyang at present.

This obviously did not surprise Cao Liang, he smiled lightly and said: "It seems that Sima Lao Thief is still very bloody, in order to appease Wang Ling, he is actually willing to give the post of Tai Lieutenant, that is also the position of the third prince, it is the face of the imperial court, I just don't know what reward he has for Bingzhou?" ”

Huan Fan glanced at him, snorted, and said: "The general has thought too much, Sima Yi has already listed the general as Cao Shuangyu's party, and offered a reward for Wanhu Hou to claim the general's head." ”

Cao Liang laughed, Sima Yi offered such a big reward, but it was not unexpected by Cao Liang. "Wanhu Hou? It seems that Sima Lao Thief is still very bloody, we just sent a letter to Sima Xuan, calling on the world to fight against the national thief, and he offered such a high reward, what a big deal! ”

Huan Fan didn't seem to have any intention of joking, and said with a little sadness: "The Guanzhong side is no longer able to count on it, if Wang Lingken accepts the position of Tai Lieutenant, at least in a short period of time, he will not move, so that Sima Yi can concentrate his forces to attack and merge with the state, and the situation is not optimistic." ”

Cao Liang put away his smile and said seriously: "Wang Ling, that guy is an old fritter, he is probably looking forward to the battle between cranes and mussels now, he is a good fisherman, so he will definitely accept Sima Yi's appeasement and stand still, so if you want to attract him as an Olympic aid, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it." ”

Huan Fan also said with deep sympathy: "Yes, Wang Ling is good at speculative drilling, it is best to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, he can't wait for us to merge with Sima Yi and lose both, in this way, he can not only sit firmly in Huainan, but even have the opportunity to win the Central Plains, control the government, and deal with this kind of person, more beware." ”

Cao Liang pondered for a while, Wang Ling was the leader of the Huainan rebellion, but the real mastermind of this rebellion was not Wang Ling, but his nephew Ling Huyu.

Ling Hu Yu is Cao Shuang's cronies, once served as a general Changshi, and later served as the Yanzhou Assassin History, after Cao Shuang ambushed him, Ling Hu Yu was worried that he was liquidated by Sima Yi, so he plotted a rebellion, and colluded with Wang Ling, preparing to change the Chu King Cao Biao as the new emperor, but before the incident, Ling Hu Yu died of illness, and the news finally leaked out, known to Sima Yi, suddenly sent troops to Shouchun, killed Wang Ling by surprise, in fact, this Huainan rebellion has not yet started, was strangled by Sima Yi in the cradle.

So the key person is Ling Huyu, if Cao Liang wants to have a force to contain the Sima family in the south, then persuading Ling Huyu to do it earlier will definitely be more useful than persuading Wang Ling.

Cao Liang told Huan Fan about the idea of persuading Ling Huyu, and Huan Fan immediately agreed, and he also thought that the chance of success in persuading Ling Huyu was much greater than persuading Wang Ling, so Cao Liang sent his confidants to Yanzhou to meet Ling Huyu in secret.

Linghu Yu was originally not called Linghu Yu, but called Linghu Jun, stupid is stupid, it is estimated that he is not willing to name his son foolish, but Linghu Yu has to call this name, because this name is given by Emperor Wen Cao Pi himself, even if Linghu Yu doesn't want to use it, he doesn't dare to use it.

The reason why Cao Pi changed his name specifically for Ling Hu Jun was because when Ling Hu Jun was the protector of Herong before, Tian Yu, the captain of Karasuma, had a meritorious crusade against the Hu people, and he violated the festival a little, so Ling Hu Jun was punished by law. Cao Pi was furious and put Ling Hujun in shackles, detained him, and removed him from his official position for punishment. Edict: "Jun He is foolish!" From then on, Linghu Jun was renamed Linghu Yu.

Of course, Ling Huyu will not be satisfied with this name, but this name is given by the Son of Heaven himself, whether it is positive or negative, Ling Huyu can only use it like this.

However, Cao Pi, the son of labor, changed his name for him, and it is estimated that he has such a "honor" in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, so he is not ashamed of the fox fool and has honor.

Ling Hu Yu is conceited and talented, and his uncle Hongnong is too obedient to Ling Hu Shao and said worriedly: "Ling Hu Jun's temperament is not restrained, and he is arrogant without strengthening his moral cultivation, which will definitely make the family perish." ”

After Ling Huyu heard about it, he was very unconvinced, and later after he was promoted, his rank was above Ling Hu Shao, and when he encountered, Ling Hu Yu deliberately said: "Back then, I heard that you thought I couldn't become a big material, what am I doing now?" In addition to cynicism, his words are extremely arrogant.

Ling Hu Shao ignored him, and only said one sentence after returning home: "Ling Hu Jun will implicate us in the future!" ”

Later, Linghu Yu took refuge in Cao Shuang, made a long history of the general, and in the first years, he was released to do the history of Yanzhou Thorn, with his back against the big tree to enjoy the shade, so that Hu Yu had Cao Shuang as a backer, and it was naturally mixed in Yanzhou.

However, this good life did not last long, when the news of the Luoyang incident came, Linghu Yu was immediately stunned, Cao Shuang, the big tree, said that it would fall, how could he mix it up in the next days?

And Sima Yi's killing in Luoyang and cleaning Cao Shuang's lineage made Ling Huyu even more frightened, in fact, he knew very well that if he hadn't left Luoyang at this moment and was still by Cao Shuang's side as a long history, the head of the whole family at this moment would have already rolled down on the streets of Luoyang.
