Chapter 568: Poor Kou Mo Chasing
After hearing the news, Xu Chu couldn't believe it, and when he really confirmed that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very likely to have attacked the city from the south gate, Xu Chu, who was disheartened, bluntly said that he wanted to live and die with this Luoyang City, and he had been guarding Luoyang City almost since Cao Cao established the Wei State, and he really couldn't bear the pain of losing Luoyang.
Faced with such a situation, Xu Huang and the others naturally would not let Xu Chu stay here, in that case, with Xu Chu's temperament, he would almost definitely die on the battlefield.
In the end, under the stiff pull of several people, Xu Chu and everyone withdrew from the north gate of Luoyang City and fled in the direction of Yecheng, and the army led by them, there were 40,000 or 50,000 people who fled back to Yecheng with them, and the remaining nearly 30,000 people were blocked by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had already entered the city from the direction of the south gate, and none of them were spared or were killed by the two of them, or surrendered directly on their knees, and became prisoners of Liu Feng's army.
At this point, Luoyang, which is almost more important than Yecheng, was finally captured by Liu Feng, and after capturing Luoyang, Liu Feng did not celebrate, he saw that Zhao Yun failed to come here as agreed, so he knew what happened in Weixing County, so he hurriedly ordered people to go to Weixing, and Zhao Yun attacked on both sides, and took the county of Weixing.
This task, Liu Feng originally wanted to send Wei Yan to, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had not been happy with fighting, insisted on going to Wei Xing, Liu Feng had no choice but to agree to this matter, no matter who went to this matter, there would be no problem, although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went to it was really a bit overkill, but if the two of them were happy, Liu Feng could not disobey their intentions, after all, this time he went on the expedition, but he begged others to come.
Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led an army of 50,000 to Weixing County to support Zhao Yun, Liu Feng was relieved.
At this time, Ma Chao and Wei Yan arrived in front of Liu Feng, and couldn't help but ask a little puzzled: "Why doesn't Your Majesty take advantage of the victory to pursue, the tens of thousands of troops led by Sima Yi and Xu Chu and others are already lost and despaired, and we will definitely be able to wipe them out after catching up, so that maybe we can capture Yecheng in one fell swoop, and at that time, the unification of the Central Plains will be a situation that has been completed!" ”
Obviously, this expedition has already given them the hope of unifying the Central Plains, and they don't want to delay here.
Liu Feng looked at the two of them, and said with a smile on his face: "Poor Kou Mo chasing, if these tens of thousands of horses are annihilated by us, it may not be the most beneficial ending for us, and they flee back to Yecheng, what they bring to Yecheng will be some emotions, and Cao Zhi at this time needs these emotions ......"
Ma Chao and Wei Yan were a little ignorant of Liu Feng's words, but they explained that they could feel that after Liu Feng captured Luoyang, he was very confident in capturing Yecheng again, so they were not worried, since they were here, Yecheng was only a matter of time.
"Your Majesty, should we arrange our next steps?" When he arrived at the palace in Luoyang, Pang Tong asked softly.
According to their previous plan, if they can successfully capture Luoyang, then there is no doubt that they have a very good chance of winning this battle, but the last remaining Yecheng is the capital of Wei, Cao Zhi will obviously not give up resistance to Yecheng, because once Yecheng is lost, then Cao's foundation has almost been captured by Liu Feng.
"Don't be in a hurry, I had a relationship with Cao Zhi a few years ago, speaking of which, he was able to put down his burden and compete with Cao Pi for the position of the prince of Wei, which also has my share of credit, what Cao Zhi wants at this time, I still can understand, not to mention, Cao Zhi is only less than thirty years old at this time, several years younger than me."
Liu Feng's words made Pang Tongshi a little incomprehensible, so he quietly waited for Liu Feng's further explanation.
"I will repair a book tonight, send someone to set off overnight, and send it to Yecheng City, if Cao Zhi does not return within three days after receiving the letter, I will go to Yecheng!"
This plan is very different from the previous Liu Feng and Zhou Yu and Pang Tong, according to their previous ideas, after getting Luoyang, it will be a soldier and a nobleman, but now Liu Feng proposed to wait for three days, plus the time to deliver the letter, at least five or six days will be wasted, in case something happens in this, it is not what Pang Tong is happy to see.
"Your Majesty, this matter has a lot to stake, do you want to think about it in the long run?" Pang Tong could only ask tentatively.
"It takes a few days to exchange the lives of a large number of sergeants of our army and the Wei army, this matter is still worth it, Mr. Shiyuan does not need to be anxious, this time, we are already a sure winner."
Pang Tong knew that at this level, it would be difficult for him to persuade Liu Feng anymore, so he could only acquiesce in the matter.
Two days later, Sima Yi and the others finally returned to Yecheng, and what they brought to Cao Zhi was another thunderbolt news.
"Luoyang is lost...... How could I, the Wei State, be reduced to such a situation? ”
After Cao Zhi heard this, his face turned pale, indeed, this is really something he can't understand, and it is also something that all the courtiers, including Sima Yi, can't understand, just over a year ago, Wei still seemed to have an advantage in the struggle with Liu Feng, why did it become such a situation in just one year, they didn't have a lot of troops, and they didn't have a lot of territory, and Cao Zhi was not a faint king, but the result was still like this.
"The lord still needs to think about it in the long run, although we have lost Luoyang, but we still have Yecheng and many counties in hand, we must not be discouraged!" Although Sima Yi was also very sad in his heart, he still persuaded Cao Zhi.
"Tomorrow, the court will say no more...... When it comes to the defense of Yecheng, Zhongda can act cheaply. ”
Cao Zhi didn't cheer up after hearing this, but waved his hand and walked out of the court alone, this blow was really too big for him who was only in his twenties.
That night, Cao Zhi did not fall asleep after returning to the mansion, but sat blankly, thinking about how Wei was eaten by Liu Feng little by little in his hands, and Zhen, who could make Cao Zhi laugh in a few words in the past, had no choice this time.
"Report! Liu Feng sent an envoy to bring a letter! Does the lord accept it? It was already the middle of the night, and a notice from outside the door entered Cao Zhi's ears.
"Just bring the letter!" For some reason, although it has reached such an extent, Cao Zhi still has some desire to take a look at Liu Feng's letter, and he believes that Liu Feng is not a person who will write to him plainly.
