Chapter 869: Guilty of Petitioning

"Father-" Wang Feixiao's eyes were a little red, he wanted to comfort his father a few words, but he didn't know what to say when the words came to his lips.

For Huainan, his father Wang Ling spent almost half of his life to build a dynasty belonging to their Wang family here, and now, the building will fall, the road is at the end of the road, all the hard work is in vain, is the time also, the luck also? No one can tell.

Unable to return to heaven, the Wang family failed in Huainan, Wang Ling took the initiative to ask Sima Yi to surrender, nothing more than to exchange his own body for the last ray of life for the Huainan army and civilians, in fact, he could have died upright, without having to accept humiliation, without being a prisoner of the ranks, without having to hand over his life and death fate to others and being slaughtered by others.

But for the sake of the thousands of soldiers and civilians in Huainan, Wang Ling finally chose to surrender to Sima Yi, and took the crime of rebellion on his head alone, maybe Sima Yi could let go of the soldiers and civilians of Shouchun and not come to slaughter the city.

Wang Ling looked at Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu, sighed faintly, and said, "Feixiao, Jinhu, it's your father's incompetence, and you have been buried for your father." ”

Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu said movingly: "Father, what are these words, as a son of a man, he can't share his worries for his father, it's our unfilial piety, the child is willing to lead the army to fight with Sima Lao Thief to the end, why should my father surrender?" ”

Wang Ling shook his head lightly and said: "Now that the general trend is gone, if we continue to fight, it will only be an egg hitting a stone, the soldiers and civilians of Huainan have followed me for many years, if I can exchange my life for the safety of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Huainan, I can also turn a blind eye to the death of my father." It's just that our Wang family can't escape the disaster of annihilation, you including your brother Guang'er, I'm afraid that this time it is impossible to escape, because my father is powerless to save you, on the Huangquan Road, I am tired of you to accompany you. ”

"Under the nest, there are eggs, and it is the honor of the child to accompany his father to Huangquan, why should the father blame himself? Even if the three of us brothers go to Huangquan together, and there are still four brothers in Soochow, we can be safe and sound, and the incense of our Wang family can still be inherited. ”

Wang Ling nodded, it seems that it was a very wise choice to send the fourth son Wang Mingshan to Dongwu, now that Shouchun has fallen, the Wang family can not escape the disaster of extermination, Wang Guang in Luoyang and Wang Feixiao Wang Jinhu in Shouchun naturally cannot escape Sima Yi's poisonous hands, but Wang Mingshan, who is far away in Dongwu, has been blessed by misfortune, and finally left a little blood for the Wang family, which also makes Wang Ling sincerely feel gratified.

The subordinates quickly found a boat, the boat was not big, it could only accommodate a dozen people, Wang Ling only brought more than ten personal soldiers, nor did he bring Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu, and told them to wait on Shouchun City, if they encountered Sima Jun's attack, they did not have to resist, just surrender.

Then Wang Ling boarded the boat and ordered his soldiers to row in the direction of Sima Jun's camp.

Outside Shouchun City, it has already been reduced to an ocean, Wang Ling ordered his subordinates to tie themselves with ropes, and his own soldiers were puzzled, Wang Ling sighed and said: "This governor is going to ask Sima Gong for the guilt, whether the thousands of soldiers and civilians in Huainan can escape this catastrophe depends on Sima Gong's face." ”

Wang Ling knows very well what Sima Yi is like, he is ruthless, and he will repay him, just looking at how many people he killed in Liaodong and Luoyang, you know how cruel his methods are, but now Wang Ling has lost the capital to bargain with Sima Yi, this time he took the initiative to take the blame, and he didn't expect Sima Yi to forgive him, as long as Sima Yi didn't kill in Shouchun, Wang Ling really had to burn high incense.

The boat did not travel far before it encountered the ships patrolled by Sima Jun, which were sent by Sima Shi to reconnoiter the movements of the Huainan Army around Shouchun City, and beware of the Huainan Army escaping in the heavy water.

However, Sima Jun's concern seems to be superfluous, in general, the army of Wei, whether it is a Chinese army or a foreign army, is basically longer than the infantry and weaker than the navy, even if it is in the land of Huainan, the Huainan army that is in contact with Wu is also a short board.

If it was the Wu army, Sima Shi's worries at this time would definitely be normal, Huainan would be reduced to a water town, and it would become a natural battlefield for the Wu army's navy, but this situation would not happen to the Huainan army, because there were not enough warships, it was almost impossible for the Huainan army to take advantage of the water.

After Sima Jun's patrol boat found the boat Wang Ling was on, they immediately stepped forward to intercept it, and to their surprise, it was Wang Ling, the captain on board, and Wang Ling came to meet Sima Yi.

Although Wang Ling is Sima Jun's number one enemy, the big man is a big man after all, and it is definitely not something that these small soldiers can despise, so these little soldiers did not dare to make any mistakes, and escorted Wang Ling's ship directly to Sima Jun's camp to meet Sima Yi.

"Brother Yanyun, what do you mean by this? Come on, quickly untie Captain Wang! Sima Yi saw Wang Ling coming from his own binding, and showed a slight look of surprise, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to untie Wang Ling.

Wang Ling bowed his head and said ashamedly: "A certain is a guilty body, today I have come to bear the guilt of Jing, this is a thousand mistakes, all of them are the fault of a certain person, a certain is willing to be punished by the imperial court, Huainan soldiers and civilians, are all bewitched by a certain cup, not a great evil body, Zhong Dagong is generous and merciful, and hopes that his subordinates will be merciful and forgive the sins of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Huainan." ”

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Brother Yanyun is the third duke, even if he is at fault, it has to be decided by the Son of Heaven, and he has no right to decide." As for Brother Yanyun's worries, you can rest assured that the soldiers and civilians of Huainan are all the people of my Great Wei, as long as they are willing to submit sincerely, they can avoid the scourge of swords. ”

When Wang Ling heard Sima Yi say this, he was slightly relieved and bowed down.

Sima Yi instructed the Chinese army to arrange a place for Wang Ling to live, and treat him as a guest, except that he could not move around at will in the barracks, food and daily life were all of the highest standard of hospitality.

Sima Shi was puzzled and said: "Wang Ling is a prisoner under the ranks, why does my father need to be polite to him, he is directly imprisoned, and when he returns to Luoyang, he should abandon the city." ”

Sima Yi smiled slightly, and said: "Wang Ling's participation in the rebellion is naturally a crime that cannot be punished, but if Wang Ling is punished now, it will inevitably arouse the anger of the remnants of Shouchun's army. If we treat him politely, those Huainan troops will inevitably give up resistance and take the initiative to surrender, so that they can take Shouchun without bloodshed. ”

Sima Shi suddenly said: "It's still my father's opinion." ”
