Chapter 512: Jedi

Luoyang defenders are only 3,000, when the city gate is opened, tens of thousands of Han soldiers surging in, with these 3,000 defenders, it is impossible to drive out tens of thousands of Han soldiers, Pang De entered the city and did not rush to fight with the Wei soldiers, but quickly ordered people to occupy the eight gates, to prevent the Wei army from taking advantage of the chaos to go out of the city to report the news, as a result, the Wei army in the city has no way to retreat, the dead are dead, the surrender is surrendered, and some of them are hidden in the houses.

The rules of the Han army are that the people cannot be disturbed after the city is broken, and the main goal at the moment is to repel the Wei army, attack the entire Heluo land, and at the same time gather the people's hearts, so Pang De is not good to search with great fanfare, after breaking the city, he did not change the flag, and still used the banner of Cao Wei to send people to the direction of Yique Pass to inquire about the news.

"If you go to Luoyang, you must guard Chenggao, this place is particularly important." After the matter was arranged, Yu Ban looked at Pang De and said in a deep voice: "Now that Chenggao is in the hinterland of Cao Wei, there must not be many defenders, dare to ask the general to have 3,000 men and horses, plus a hundred flying troops, and the last general can be the general and then Chenggao!" ”

Cheng Gao is the Tiger Prison Pass, is the main gateway of Luoyang to garrison the eastern part of the country, Dong Zhuo held here, the princes' millions of troops are not allowed to go west, if it is to attack the city by normal means, if you want to take here, even if the Han army is well-equipped, it is difficult to break through without 350,000 people, Yu Ban wants to take advantage of the fact that the Tiger Prison Pass is still in the hinterland of Cao Wei, and there will not be too much defense, so that Luoyang will be stable, as for Pingxian, Yanshi and other places, the Tiger Prison Pass, as long as these people are not stupid, they will withdraw by themselves, When the time comes, Xuanyuan Pass and Xuanmen Pass will be opened, and Luoyang will completely fall into the Han army's account.

Since Yu Ban voted for Liu Bei, he naturally hopes to make a contribution, Luoyang's credit, Liu Yi is obviously for Pang De, but the credit of the Tiger Prison, Yu Ban wants to fight for it himself.

Luoyang has been down, Pang De's task is also half completed, the next thing is to block Cao Xiu from returning to the city, this seven thousand people are enough, after thinking for a while, Pang De nodded, agreed to Yu Ban's request, divided three thousand people and two hundred flying troops to Yu Ban, and found three hundred pairs of Wei army's armor from the Luoyang Treasury, after all, Yu Ban had served Cao Wei, to deceive the city gate, it was obviously easier than Pang De.

As for delegating power to Yu Ban, first, 7,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city is enough, and secondly, the Tiger Prison Pass is not the main thing in this strategy, and it is naturally good to be able to take it.

At that moment, Yu Ban ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses to march to the Tiger Prison Pass, while Pang De continued to secretly inquire about Cao Xiu's movements under the banner of the Wei army.

That night, Guan Yu took advantage of the night to raid Cao Xiu's camp, Cao Xiu was defeated, and a large number of Wei troops fled to Luoyang, which was the previous scene.

Cao Xiu saw that Luoyang was occupied, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, but fortunately he was supported by the surrounding guards, so he did not fall from the horse.

"General, Luoyang has been lost, at this moment our army's morale is low, it is not easy to attack the city, you can retreat to Yanshi first, and then do your own calculations!" A Wei general was worried that Cao Xiu would not be able to attack the city directly, so he persuaded that Guan Yu was still hanging in the back, and if he attacked the city at this time, he would only be attacked by Guan Yu and the Luoyang Han army.

"Tiger Prison Pass, quickly send someone to Tiger Prison Pass, and occupy Tiger Prison first!" Although Cao Xiu was angry, his mind was still sober, Luoyang was lost, and it was impossible for Yanshi to block the Han army, but the Tiger Prison Pass could not be lost, if the Tiger Prison Pass was also lost, the Wei army would not even have the first move, and even if he wanted to attack it back in the future, the Hukou Pass would not be easy.

"Whoa!" Several lieutenant generals hurriedly sent people to report the news to the Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Xiu did not go to Yanshi, and led the army around the city and retreated to the direction of the Tiger Prison Pass, as long as the Tiger Prison Pass is not lost, hold here, there is still a chance to take Luoyang back, but the soldiers and horses of Gucheng can't be taken away, but if you can stabilize your foothold in the Tiger Prison Pass, you can contact the Gucheng army to attack Luoyang!

Seeing that Cao Xiu was going to retreat to the direction of Tiger Pass, Pang De was naturally unwilling, at this time the sky was already bright, he had already seen Guan Yu's banner, and while ordering someone to change the Luoyang flag, he led the army to kill, and together with Guan Yu, he attacked the Wei army and defeated the Wei army, and collected countless Wei troops.

At noon, he joined forces with Guan Yu in Yanshi.

"The last general, Pound, see the prince!" The three armies rested for a while, and Pang De came to see Guan Yu in person.

"Ling Ming doesn't have to be polite!" Guan Yu got off the horse, his body was a little rickety, he fought all night, he had been sitting on the horse, he got off the horse at this moment, his waist couldn't stand up for a while, he reached out to help Pang De up, and there was a little smile on his face: "This time I can go down to Luoyang, so that Ming is indispensable!" ”

"Thanks to Mohou's proper scheduling." Pound said modestly.

"How many defenders are there in Luoyang City?" Guan Yu nodded and asked.

"There are two thousand to defend the city." Pang De replied that he saw that Cao's army had become a rout, so he left only 2,000 men to defend the city, and brought 5,000 soldiers and horses to pursue the defeated army.

Guan Yu thought for a while and said: "Luoyang is down, there is no room for loss, I think that Cao Xiu is to retreat to the Tiger Prison Pass, Ling Ming and return to the city to defend the palace, a certain self-led troops continue to chase, if there is a chance, capture the Tiger Prison." ”

Tiger Prison Pass was the place where the three brothers became famous back then, and now they have come around in a circle, and decades have passed, and they have come back again, but they have a lot of emotion.

"The last general commands!" Pang De bowed down and agreed, and then said: "The last general has ordered Yu Ban to lead the army to the Tiger Prison Pass yesterday, waiting for the opportunity to capture the city, and he may have captured the city at this moment." ”

"Yu Ban?" Guan Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then nodded and said, "It's okay, then go and chase that Cao Xiu, and order Ming to be careful about the direction of Gucheng to the Wei army." ”

"Whoa!" Pang De agreed, said goodbye to Guan Yu, and led his troops and horses to escort a large number of captured Wei troops to Luoyang.

On the other side, Cao Xiu took the remnants of the army, and when he passed by the Yanshi, he took the Yanshi army and retreated to the Tiger Prison Pass, but the previous 50,000 troops were first killed by Guan Yu, and when they were in Luoyang, the fall of Luoyang completely broke the army's heart, and the army was defeated and surrendered to countless troops.

If you stop to integrate, you can still receive a part of the rout, but Guan Yu has been chasing him closely, how dare Cao Xiu have a moment to stay, this road is sleepy and tired, rice and water have not entered, along the way, people continue to fall behind, or surrender, or can't walk, Cao Xiu can't afford to pay attention anymore, just want to arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass, and then rest.

Guan Yu knew that Yu Ban had gone to the Tiger Prison Pass, he no longer pressed step by step, and even stopped to eat a meal before continuing the pursuit, the Wei army was sleepy and tired, the Han army fought all night, and the same tiredness was not light, Guan Yu slowed down, so that the soldiers could also slow down, if Yu Ban could occupy the Tiger Prison Pass, then outside the Tiger Prison Pass, it would be Cao Xiu's Jedi, he had to raise his spirit, and it was best to kill Cao Xiu, the general of the Cao family, in this battle.

Cao Cao's kindness to him back then, Huarong Dao had already repaid, the Cao family usurped the Han, and now all that is left is national hatred, no matter how selfish it is, this time, Guan Yu is not ready to give Cao Xiu another chance, as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely kill Cao Xiu and cut off Cao Wei's arm.

Cao Xiu rushed all the way to the Tiger Prison Pass, saw that the head of the city was still the banner of Wei, he was relieved, and was about to send someone to call the city, but he saw that the banner of Wei at the head of the city suddenly moved, and was thrown down directly from the head of the city and replaced with the Han flag.

Cao Xiu only felt that his eyes were black, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell from the horse.

The capture of the Tiger Prison Pass did not have too many waves, the Tiger Prison Pass guards were not as alert as the Luoyang guards, Yu Ban mixed with three hundred soldiers to make Cao Jun, and easily deceived the city gate, the Tiger Prison Pass defenders were only eight hundred, and the battle was basically over as soon as the city gate was opened.

Seeing Cao Xiu fall off the horse, the generals hurriedly grabbed it and helped Cao Xiu up.

Defeated one after another, lost the city and lost the land, at this moment even the Tiger Prison Pass was lost, plus a day and a night, the rice and water did not enter, and at this moment, Cao Xiu almost fainted directly.

It's just that the current situation can't allow him to be unconscious, so he looks towards the city with his strength.

Yu Ban walked up to the city, looked at Cao Xiu with a somewhat complicated gaze, and saluted with a fist: "Wen Lie, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed!" ”

Cao Xiu saw Yu Ban and was slightly stunned: "General Wen Ze? ”

Immediately, he was furious, and the halberd pointed at Yu Ban and scolded: "Thief who betrays the master, how can you be worthy of the grace of the former emperor by doing this!?" ”

"I'm a Han general, why don't I betray the Lord?" Yu Ban looked at Cao Xiu, and said in a deep voice: "Cao Gong has the grace of knowing me, but I have never turned my back on Cao Gong, when Xiangyang was defeated and captured, he suffered from five years in prison, but he never had a moment to surrender, these five years, do you know how I lived!?" ”

In the end, Yu Ban almost roared hysterically, in the past five years, although Guan Yu didn't really criticize him, but in prison, it was not as simple as being trapped, even if the jailer didn't embarrass him, but the prisoners in the prison were not so polite to the ban.

"I have been loyal to Cao Gong for five years, but how do you treat my family?" Yu Ban said with red eyes: "If it weren't for the old servant and his young son to Jingzhou, I wouldn't have known that my family would have been ruined and my wife would have been occupied!" ”

Cao Xiu's breath was stagnant, and for a while, he was speechless, he naturally knew about the things in Yu Ban's family, but people went to tea and cool, and no one knew whether Yu Ban was surrendering or dying, and no one wanted to offend people for a person who might have surrendered or died.

"This is the end of it!" Yu Ban took a deep breath, looked at Cao Xiu and said: "It's no different to say more, Your Majesty treats me kindly, I should want to repay with death, if I think about this, I will step on a certain corpse!" ”

Cao Xiu looked at the remnants of the defeated army behind him, and smiled bitterly in his heart, not to mention that there are no people and horses now, even if it is not, with these three or four thousand people and horses, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to capture the Tiger Prison Pass.

"General, don't be rash, you can go to Xuanmen Pass, go to Xuchang first, and then do your thoughts!" A Cao army general said in a low voice.

Cao Xiu nodded, and was about to retreat, but there was smoke and dust in the distance, Cao Xiu's face turned pale, and Guan Yu's pursuers also arrived at this time......
