Cao Biao's suicide was both reasonable and unexpected, Sima Yi only glanced at Cao Biao's body, then turned around and left.

As for whether Cao Biao is buried according to the rites of the princes or according to the rites of the commoners, there will inevitably be some arguments on the court's side, but for Sima Yi, it is no longer too important.

As soon as Cao Biao died, Wang Ling's attempt to set up a new monarch was bankrupt, and in a short period of time, he could not find any suitable replacement, in short, he wanted to rebel in the name of establishing a new monarch There was no chance, and now Sima Yi Chen Bing Yanzhou will soon wave his army to the south, and Wang Ling has been forced to the point where he has to rebel.

But without Cao Biao to decorate the façade, once Wang Ling raised troops, he would be labeled as a rebel, although he was the governor of Yangzhou, the general of Zhengdong, and held the title of captain, but once the army was raised, the situation may not be as he wanted, many of the families of soldiers on the Huainan front are in Luoyang or the Central Plains, how many of them are willing to abandon their wives and children to follow Wang Ling, it is really an unknown.

Sima Yi left most of his soldiers and horses to the three Taishou of Pingyang, east of the Hedong River in Hanoi, and he only led a light army to Yanzhou, but after arriving in Yanzhou, Sima Yi almost effortlessly pacified Ling Huyu and Cao Biao, and incorporated Yanzhou's men and horses under his command.

Then Sima Yi requisitioned soldiers and horses from Yuzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, gathered an army of 100,000, and was ready to go south at any time to crusade against Wang Ling.

"Stupid! What a fool! Very foolish! Wang Ling held the letter just now, trembling with anger, his face turned pale, and he scolded angrily.

The object of Wang Ling's angry scolding was naturally his uncompetitive nephew Ling Hu was stupid.

Originally, their plan to set up a new monarch went very smoothly, as long as Cao Biao ascended the throne in Xudu, they could set up another court to fight against the Luoyang court held hostage by Sima Yi, so that they could get the full support of the anti-Sima camp, and to put it mildly, owning half of Cao Wei's country was enough to achieve great things.

But after thousands of calculations, his useless nephew was paralyzed and careless, so that Sima Yi once again staged a good show of a thousand-mile attack, Meng Da did not let Sima Yi enter the city, and after holding on for half a month, the city fell, and the fox was stupid, and directly let the family block the bed, and was decisively taken down by Sima Yi before he had time to resist.

Wang Ling knows that his nephew is good at drinking, there are groups of beautiful concubines at home, and he sings every night, the key is that you usually play like this and no one cares about you, but now they are planning big things, it stands to reason that they should focus on this, but Ling Hu Yu did his own thing as usual, and finally caused such a tragedy.

Wang Ling had reminded him many times in advance to be careful of Sima Yi, because Wang Ling knew that Sima Yi was the most difficult opponent, and if he was not careful, he would fall into his way, but Ling Huyu turned a deaf ear, and was finally captured by Sima Yi, which also made his plan completely bankrupt.

Now Wang Ling has to face such an extremely difficult situation, Linghu Yu's failure led to the loss of Yanzhou, Wang Ling lost a strong reinforcement, and Cao Biao's suicide made Wang Ling lose the support of public opinion, there is no clan vassal king to carry the banner in front of him, once Wang Ling raises troops, it is a rebellion, and it is very difficult to get more people's support.

And now that the matter has been leaked, Wang Ling has been forced to a situation where he has to rebel, Sima Yi is already Chen Bing Yanzhou, if Wang Ling does not fight again, when Sima Yi arrives in Huaibei, it will be too late.

However, if the army was raised, it was too hasty, although Wang Ling had been committed to the uprising during this time, but due to the short period of time, he was not fully prepared, after all, the current situation was very different from the original plan, and it was too tight to correct the plan at this moment.

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, or this damn Ling Fox fool made such a big mistake, if he was not careful, he lost all the games, no wonder Cao Pi changed his name in a fit of anger, this guy is really stupid, why did he get dizzy and believe him, hey, the mud can't support the wall after all.

"Father, the current situation is urgent, you should make a decision early." The second son, Wang Feixiao, said on the side.

Wang Ling has four sons, the eldest son Wang Guang, now serving in Luoyang, Xi is Shang Shulang, the second son Wang Feixiao, the third son Wang Jinhu is good at martial arts, Xiaoguo is good at fighting, following Wang Ling as the governor, and there is a young son named Wang Mingshan, who is good at calligraphy articles.

Wang Ling often boasted that his four sons were both literate and martial, and all of them were extraordinary. It's just that this time the army started, the thoughts of these sons were not unified, Wang Feixiao and Wang Jinhu were firm supporters of Wang Ling, but Wang Guang expressed his opposition, thinking that the abolition of major events should not be the first disaster, Wang Ling was very annoyed by this.

In fact, Wang Ling has already gone far on the road of rebellion, and now even if he wants to turn back, it is too late, he can only go to the dark one way.

Wang Jinhu said with some concern: "At present, there are less than half of the cronies in the Huainan army, once there is an incident, the respondent Liao Liao, now Sima Yi's army will soon go south and force Huaibei, how can we fight?" ”

Wang Ling didn't say anything, but his face was very ugly, in fact, he also understood that although he was the governor, he did not have absolute control over the army in Huainan.

Although Sun Li has now been transferred to the Yuzhou Assassin History, his influence in Huainan cannot be dissipated in a short time, and those troops loyal to Sun Li are actually equivalent to the nails planted by Sima Yi in Huainan.

Because of this, Wang Ling did not dare to make up his mind to raise troops easily.

At this time, the youngest son, Wang Mingshan, stepped forward and said: "Father, why worry, Huainan is close to Eastern Wu, and Sima Yi is persecuted tightly, so it is better to surrender to Eastern Wu and ask Eastern Wu to send reinforcements to help." ”

Wang Ling said with some concern: "My father has fought with Dongwu many times, and he has a deep grudge, and Dongwu is willing to send troops to help?" ”

Wang Mingshan smiled and said: "The two countries are fighting each other, each for its own master, how can you say that there is a grudge?" What's more, the Wu people have always coveted Huainan, and they want to get it quickly, and their father surrendered to Wu with a state of land, and Dongwu is clapping his hands and shouting, how dare not send troops. ”
