Chapter 447: Defeat on all fronts

At the same time that Xiahou Yuan was killed, changes also took place here in Luoyang, and after nearly three months of deliberate weakness, Lu Fan, the chief general who attacked Luoyang, suddenly led his army to launch a fierce attack on Luoyang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Luoyang City was strong and the soldiers defending the city were also very hardworking, at a critical moment, Wang Zhong, the general in Luoyang City, suddenly rebelled, killed Lou Gui, the defender of Luoyang, and then led the people to surrender. So Luoyang recovered.

In fact, before the siege of the city, the main general Lu Fan said that as long as the city is attacked today, someone will help break the city, Li Tong and Hao Zhao still don't believe it, because they haven't seen Lu Fan take the initiative to contact any of the generals in Cao Cao's camp, and they haven't seen anyone take the initiative to contact them and say that they want to surrender.

However, the facts were in front of him, and the second general was dumbfounded, admiring Lu Fan so much that he fell to the ground, only to know that Lu Fan's "Asking Divination" skills were really against the sky at some times.

After entering Luoyang, the second general asked about the reason for Wang Zhong's surrender, only to see Wang Zhong said: "Don't hide it from the two generals, this time Zhong has always dedicated the city, the most important thing is because the general is the destiny of heaven, the people's will, loyalty does not dare to disobey the will of heaven, the other point is a private feeling, the last general and that Lou Gui have some discord, this guy has no size of merit, can be used as Henan Yin, and the last general led the army to fight for many years, and made countless large and small military achievements, but only a deputy general, this is not enough, yesterday the end of the general proposed should take advantage of your army stalemate for many days, When he was unprepared, he led the army to sneak attack, but the guy actually said that I messed with his army's heart, and pulled the last general out and beat thirty military sticks, which was clearly intolerable in his eyes, and it was precisely because of this that the last general decided to turn against him and return to the command of the general. Hehe, the last general has just arrived, and the two generals will have to take care of it in the future. ”

Listening to Wang Zhong's words, Li Tong and Hao Zhao were secretly amused in their hearts, they were both battle-hardened generals, and they had extremely rich combat experience, so they could naturally hear that Wang Zhong actually didn't have a little strategy, and Lou Gui's approach was the old way to hold things seriously, but it was a pity that such a talented person was killed, and it was such a planless person who defected to his side.

"This person must not be used in the future." The two of them had such an idea almost at the same time.

Lu Fan naturally knew about this, and Lu Fan could still judge that with this Wang Zhong's virtue, he would definitely stir up trouble in Luoyang in the end, so Lu Fan changed Wang Zhong to a civil official and made him a Zhonglang in Henan Yin.

Wang Zhong was naturally very dissatisfied with this, so he secretly gathered the old department, prepared to attack and kill Lü Fan at night, and then subdued Li Tong and Hao Zhao by force, rebelled against Cao Cao again, and asked Cao Cao for merit and reward.

However, for his plot, Lu Fan had long been aware of the flames, and knew it clearly, and as soon as he launched the operation that night, he was quickly captured by the soldiers under Lu Fan's command, and then killed this Wang Zhong under the punishment of the Ming Dynasty.

After Wang Zhong died, Lü Fan took the opportunity to incorporate the rest of his troops and obtained four or five thousand elite soldiers.

After the recovery of Luoyang, Hongnong became a lonely city, besieged by Liu He's various large armies, foreign aid was cut off, and Lü Fan ordered Li Tong to lead 5,000 elite cavalry to aid Hongnong, and at the same time ordered Hao Zhao to lead 10,000 people to capture the Tiger Prison Pass, which was not far from Luoyang City.

After holding out for half a month, Yuan Lian, the Taishou of Hongnong County, who had no food and grass inside, no rescue troops outside, and was isolated and helpless, went out of the city and surrendered under the persuasion of Deng Zhi.

So far, in addition to Qingzhou and Xuzhou under the unified leadership and command of Xiahoudun can still hold out, Cao Cao's army has been defeated on the battlefield, and after the news reached Xudu, Cao Cao was suddenly shocked and could not sleep well.

"I Cao Cao started with Chen Liuyi County, and then occupied Dongjun little by little, and suffered from Lu Bu's sneak attack, and then recaptured Dongjun again, and expanded step by step, captured Hongnong, escorted the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang, conquered Lu Bu, fought Yuan Shu, defeated Yuan Shao, one by one, nine deaths, and it took ten years to have the current situation. But once it was lost, it took only three months of work, alas, the changes in life are really unexpected. ”

Cao Cao, who was depressed, left and right, ordered that no one should be disturbed, and then drank for a long time, and sighed while drinking: "I got Hongnong, Liu He got Guanzhong, I defeated Yuan Shao, Liu He got Jizhou, several times, it has been me fighting bloodily in front, and Liu He, this little child, took the opportunity to get a big benefit, otherwise, my territory will not be so narrow, and I have already obtained the entire land of Hebei." ”

"Although I coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, who can I command the princes of this world? Liu He is half younger than me, but I can only give up the position of the general, and now even the title of Duke of Qin has been given to Liu He, and I myself, even being a prime minister have been worried again and again, and finally I still stubbornly promised my daughter to the Son of Heaven, which made the Son of Heaven hot-headed for a while, and gave a phase, but my prime minister is like sitting on pins and needles, because Liu He will not die for a day, and I will not sit steadily for a day, alas, the heroes of the world, only Liu He and Cao Er, but the two heroes cannot stand side by side, and Liu He and I are destined to fight for life and death, I thought that this time I would provoke Liu and Xiao'er to fight on the pretext of killing Liu Yu, and I would definitely be able to defeat him with full preparation, but I didn't expect that his strategy would be unexpected every time, and my brother Miaocai died a tragic death......."

Thinking of Xiahou Yuan's death, Cao Cao burst into tears: "Brother Miaocai, I thought that I would win the world in the future, and let you be a prince, so that you and my brother would not be in vain, and you would not live up to your hard work for me, but it is a pity that the world is undecided and you will leave me far away, so that my liver and intestines will be broken, and I will be sad for the moon." ”

Cao Cao cried for a while, sighed for a while, and then said to himself: "Now Liu and Xiao'er are winning on the battlefields of the western, southern and northern fronts, my army is losing and retreating, and more than 100,000 people in the army are trapped in the city of Xudu. Even if I Cao Cao die, I must not be reduced to a prisoner, hehe, the people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death? I'm not even afraid of death, so why should I be afraid that Sima Yi will take away my inheritance? Even if he wants to take it, he must wait for me to repel Liu He first, otherwise, once I am defeated and the foundation is gone, what can he take away? Well, it looks like it's time for him to show his talents, and I'll give him the skills tomorrow and let him assist me in fighting off Liu and Xiao'er! ”
