"Junhou, the Wei army retreats to Luoyang!" The scuffle continued, and Liao Hua rushed to Guan Yu's vicinity and said loudly.

"Mi Fang continues to clean up the Wei army, and the rest of the soldiers will follow a certain chase!" Guan Yu's eyes were cold, in Liu Yi's plan, defeating Cao Xiu was only the first step, and then, occupying Luoyang, could really turn defeat into victory, therefore, even if the 50,000 army was defeated, Guan Yu did not think about stopping there, not Luoyang, the dilemma of Yique Pass still could not be solved, so, after determining that the Wei army could no longer have much strength to resist, Guan Yu left Mi Fang to continue to pursue the Wei army, and brought Liao Hua and the rest of the soldiers to Luoyang, and he must take advantage of the situation to take Luoyang in one fell swoop.

From Yique Pass to Luoyang, all the way is smooth, only less than thirty miles away, the two sides chase me, all the way to Luoyang, Cao Xiu saw that Guan Yu did not give up this time, his heart was angry, but he was helpless, the defeat has been achieved, even if he wants to turn around and fight again, I am afraid that the chaotic army has not been rectified, and it has been broken by Guan Yu.

When the sky is about to dawn, Luoyang is already in sight, but Guan Yu in the rear is not in a hurry at the moment, but he is unhurriedly behind the Wei army, like driving sheep, coming up from time to time to rush and kill for a while, so that the Wei army, which has lost its fighting spirit, runs wildly.

In the chaotic army, Cao Xiu is more reasonable, he understands that this is not Guan Yu's kindness or exhaustion, the other party is waiting for himself to open the city gate, take advantage of the situation to drive the rout army into Luoyang, the other party's goal is clearly Luoyang!

Thinking about this clearly, Cao Xiu only felt cold all over his body, at this moment he finally understood why Guan Yu was pursuing himself so frantically, if he wanted to break the game, he had to capture Luoyang, in that way, Sima Yi's plan against Guan Yu was completely dismantled, Luoyang was occupied, and the Wei army that had been hiding in Gucheng and preparing to ambush Liu Yi lost its meaning, and Sima Yi's painstaking efforts to occupy Guan Yu's grain road would also be wasted, and most importantly, once Luoyang fell, the entire river. Nanyin fell under the Han army, and when Liu Yi was no longer guarding Hangu Pass, he would no longer be Chenggao!

I should be the strongest point here, but I didn't think that now it has become the key to Guan Yu's breakthrough, Cao Xiu's current mood is really complicated and difficult to understand!

Luoyang, there can be no loss!

Cao Xiu thought clearly about the cause and effect in his heart, and immediately recruited the deputy general, and said in a deep voice: "Summoning Luoyang, without my general's order, you must not open the city gate, and order the army to go around the city!" If a rout dares to call the city without authorization, you can shoot it directly! ”

Several lieutenants were stunned, then nodded their heads and went to give orders.

Cao Xiu sat on horseback, glanced back at the direction of the Han army behind, his expression was a little gloomy, Luoyang was empty at the moment, the soldiers and horses in the city together with Sima Yi's reinforcements had been sent out, the soldiers who stayed in the city, only three thousand, it sounds like a lot, if it is a general city, the city wall is as high as Luoyang, these three thousand people are enough, but Luoyang, as the old capital, although the area is only about a quarter of Chang'an, it is still a rare big city in the world, and it is difficult for three thousand people to completely prevent it.

You must try to enter the city before Guan Yu attacks the city.

It's just that before Cao Xiu's people went to give the order, when they saw that the Wei army was about to approach the city, a large number of Han troops suddenly appeared on the city, and they couldn't help but say that the Wei army under the city was angry with swords, and a large number of Wei soldiers were shot to the ground by random arrows before they understood what was happening.

Above the city, a general laughed loudly: "Nan'an Pound is here, why don't the rebels descend early!?" ”

When Cao Xiu saw this, he felt that his brain was blank, and he didn't know why the Han army appeared here? Where did it come from?

Time, there are still three days to go forward, Liu Yi sent Guan Ping, with a large number of scouts to search the surrounding mountains and forests, except for the Wei army scouts, did not find any large troops.

"If the Wei army does have ambush soldiers, stop it in Gucheng!" Yu Ban pointed to the sand table, the location of Gu Cheng.

"Is there a road, can you bypass Gucheng and go straight to Luoyang?" Liu Yi looked at Yu Ban and asked.

"This ...... Will it be too risky? Yu Banyan glanced at Liu Yi in surprise when he heard this, didn't he say that Liu Yi was cautious in his use of troops? Then he muttered: "Although there is a road to Gucheng, but if this is the case, the men and horses who attacked Luoyang will become a lone army, if they can't capture Luoyang in one fell swoop, they will fall into the situation of being surrounded by Cao Xiu, Gucheng and Luoyang, and they will be destroyed!" ”

"Don't worry, I have a team of soldiers and horses in my hands, the best at surprise attacks, and I can choose a general to command and attack Luoyang directly." Liu Yi said with a smile: "If you win this battle weakly, then you will be able to set the river!" ”

Before the expedition, Liu Yi specially deducted a thousand Wudang Feijun from Chen, and with the equipment specially designed for Wudang Feijun, although Luoyang is a strong city, but now Luoyang is empty, if you are lucky, it is not a problem to take Luoyang in one fell swoop.

"Mo Hou wants to take it personally?" Yu Ban looked at Liu Yi and said unexpectedly.

Now Guan Ping has been sent to Guan Yu, who can be called a general here, it seems that Liu Yi is the only one, he is just a general after all, and he can't let himself go, right?

"I'm not good at commanding troops." Liu Yi shook his head, what are you kidding, although this kind of thing has a good chance of success, but if it fails, he doesn't have the ability to break through from the army, and he hasn't fought this kind of surprise battle? His wife and children are still waiting to be reunited with him, how can he take the risk? It's better to leave this matter to someone who is willing and dares to take risks.

"Pound?" Yu Ban reacted, didn't Liu Yi ask Meng Da to change Pang De before? It's just that this Pound has this ability?

"Well, Ling Ming is a general, in addition, this trip also needs Wen Ze's assistance, after all, Ling Ming has been in Xiliang for a long time, although he fought bravely, but he is not clear about the terrain in this area, he needs a day to come here, and he doesn't have much time to explain to him, so Wen Ze will lead the way for him, I don't know if General Wen Ze is willing to give in?" Liu Yi asked with a smile.

After all, Yu Ban is also a world-famous general, and letting Yu Ban be Pang De's deputy general is somewhat condescending, but there is no way, although Liu Yi is willing to believe Yu Ban, but in terms of rules, if you want to directly let Yu Ban lead a county, then Liu Bei has to agree, how can I have time to ask Liu Bei's opinion now? Therefore, Yu Ban can only be asked to follow Pang De as a deputy general to assist.

"Will Mo Hou believe me?" After Yu Ban was silent for a moment, he looked at Liu Yi and said seriously.

"Why not?" Liu Yi said with a smile: "Cao Gong has been gone for seven years, General Wen Ze has been observing the festival for five years in order to repay Cao Gong's kindness, and he has also repaid Cao Gong's kindness back then. ”

The enmity with the Cao family, Liu Yi did not mention it, but the two knew that Cao Cao's kindness back then, Yu Ban had already repaid it with his loyalty, but in the Cao Pi era, the feud of the family was not counted, Yu Gong and private, Yu Ban had no reason to go to Cao Wei at this time, and the truth of people going tea and cooling was applicable in any era, not to mention that after Cao Pi took office, he did not maintain this favor, and now Yu Ban has made a move on Wei State, which is not a betrayal, he is loyal to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao did not claim the title of emperor at that time, so Yu Ban has always been a Hanchen, Now that Cao Pi has usurped the throne and the Cao family has won the country, Yu Ban is now on Liu Bei's side, which cannot be regarded as a betrayal.

When Yu Ban heard this, he silently saluted Liu Yi: "The last general will take the order!" ”

To be realistic, Yu Ban's only son Yu Guike is still in Jingzhou, just for this, Yu Ban has no reason to go against Liu Yi in turn, just listen to this kind of thing, if it is really against human nature.

After receiving Liu Yi's summons, Pang De hurried up, earlier than Liu Yi imagined, and rushed to Liu Yi's side that night.

After briefly explaining the task, Liu Yi looked at Pang De and said: "Wen Ze is familiar with the terrain in this area and the city defense of Luoyang, so Ming has been fighting in Xiliang for a long time, and he doesn't know much about Luoyang. ”

"Mo Hou rest assured, if you don't break Luoyang, Pang De will come to see you!" Pang De bowed to Liu Yi and Yu Ban, such a big credit, Liu Yi let himself fight, this trust is not mentioned, this attention alone is enough to make Pang De's heart take effect.

"Come back alive, you can fight for my Han alive, if you die, what is the use of my head?" Liu Yi patted Pang De's shoulder, scolded with a smile, and then said solemnly: "Go, this battle, when the battle is resolved quickly, it is best to block the news between Luoyang and Yique Pass, don't let that Cao Xiu know in advance, the prince and the prince will break Cao Xiu in these days, it is best to take Luoyang before that, then the big thing can be decided!" ”

"Whoa!" Pang De and Yu Ban bowed to Liu Yi, and Pang De went straight to order troops.

Yu Ban stayed, looked at Liu Yi and said, "Mohou, if I go, won't there be no generals available here?" ”

"Don't worry." Liu Yi said with a smile: "If you say that you are charging into battle, I am not as good as Wen Ze, but if you talk about defending the city, over the years, the city I am guarding has not been broken!" After you are gone, I will strengthen the city's defenses. ”

Also.

Yu Banyan nodded, didn't ask any more, think about it carefully, Liu Yi has always been known for his good guarding, and as for the real battle with the wilderness, there are not many records.

After staying under Liu Yi for so long, Yu Ban can also see some fame, Liu Yi's own military strategy may be as he said, not very brilliant, but Liu Yi dares to delegate power, and will not fight for merit, whether it is Yu Ban himself, or Pang De and Meng Da, these people are willing to contribute to Liu Yi, not so much for Liu Yi, but more for themselves, because they know that Liu Yi will not take credit, and the credit he has made is his own, so he is more willing to fight with all his strength, and Liu Yi, Most of the time, he is only responsible for the support of the rear and the allocation of resources, so as not to make a shortage, which makes the soldiers who fight under him very comfortable.

And Liu Yi himself is not really incompetent, whether it is the scheduling of logistics or the support or the control of the general direction, Liu Yi has done more than anyone else, so it is not surprising that Liu Yi can have today's status.
