Zhu Wei used the official rhetoric to ask You Heng to return to Xudu to convey Zhu Wei's meaning, which roughly means that since Zhu Wei served as the captain of the Han Dynasty and had the right to record Shangshu affairs, he should have the right to make major decisions on the affairs of the imperial court.

Now Zhu Wei thinks that the Son of Heaven moved to Xudu, which is really inappropriate.

Luoyang is the henchman of the Central Plains, so the Son of Heaven can only subdue the world with the spirit of the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, anyway, according to Zhu Wei's meaning, such a chaotic situation today is because the Son of Heaven is not in his position and failed to be in Luoyang.

Therefore, Zhu Wei asked the Son of Heaven to oppose Luoyang, and this time Zhu Wei can be regarded as a counter-general to Cao Cao's army.

Later, Zhu Wei used the name of his cheap father Zhu Jun to clarify a thing, Zhu Wei's father Zhu Jun has been working hard for the Son of Heaven to return the capital to Luoyang, but unfortunately he was hindered by Guo Yan and Li Wei, so he regretted that he lost Chang'an and failed to complete this matter in person.

Now that Zhu Wei has inherited Zhu Jun's old position, the first thing he must do is naturally to inherit Zhu Jun's last wish and send the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang to set the record straight, so as to stabilize the situation in the world.

Therefore, Zhu Wei has decided to send people to Luoyang first to speed up the repair work of the imperial capital Luoyang, and Zhu Wei will also wait for the return of the Son of Heaven to the capital in Luoyang.

Zhu Wei completely eliminated the troublesome situation that Cao Cao brought him, but on the contrary, Cao Cao had to accept a situation, if Zhu Wei controlled Luoyang, Cao Cao would dare to send the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang.

If Cao Cao really sent the Son of Heaven back, it would be equivalent to sending the Son of Heaven to Zhu Wei, and this was definitely not something that Cao Cao was willing to accept.

Anyway, Zhu Wei expressed such a meaning in front of You Heng, and then didn't give You Heng any reaction, but gave You Heng a gift to return to Xu Du to reply to the Son of Heaven about this matter.

However, according to the time on this road, by the time You Heng returned to Xudu, Wei Yan should have already taken the Jingnan camp to Luoyang.

As for Zhu Wei, he will also rush to Luoyang with the follow-up army to prevent Cao Cao's counterattack on Luoyang, and Zhu Wei can build momentum in Luoyang later, and continue to welcome Cao Cao to return the Son of Heaven to Luoyang.

So Zhu Wei took advantage of the convenience brought by Cao Cao to launch a surprise attack on Luoyang, and Zhu Wei believed that after Cao Cao got You Heng's reply, he would definitely feel a little annoyed by Zhu Wei's response methods.

Well, let's not talk about the preparations for the dispatch of troops on Zhu Wei's side, but only about the dispatch of troops on Wei Yan's side.

After Wei Yan got the news brought back by Changshi Jiang Wan before, he was very excited about this mission, and Wei Yan really hoped to be on the mission in his heart, rather than liking to stay in one place for a long time and waste time.

In the previous battle of Zhu Wei's conquest of Jingbei Nanjun and Nanyang County, Wei Yan and Gan Ning teamed up to play a sneak attack on Jiangling City, although this battle was a bit anticlimactic, and finally ended the war with Cai Mao taking the initiative to surrender.

And Wei Yan and Gan Ning also received some praise, but they also received some reprimands for their private dispatch of troops and affecting Zhu Wei's overall strategic arrangement.

However, Wei Yan did not have any regrets about what he had done in the Battle of Jiangling.

It's a pity that Zhu Wei later fought against Yuan Shu, but Wei Yan's Jingnan camp did not have any chance to participate, and his task was only to garrison Nanyang to prevent Cao Cao's sneak attack.

Later, Gan Ning, who was stationed in Jiangling, actually got the task of conquering Yizhou, but Wei Yan could only garrison Nanyang, which inevitably made Wei Yan a little envious of Gan Ning.

No matter how you can station in one place and protect the safety of one party, the merit is definitely not as great as the merit of expanding the territory.

Wei Yan also hoped that he could be ordered to go out and seize more territory for Zhu Wei, so he would naturally be able to make meritorious contributions, and he could have greater merit and more rewards on Zhu Wei's side.

Now Wei Yan has finally waited for his chance.

This time, Zhu Wei decided to go to the land of Guanzhong, and Wei Yan's Jingnan battalion would become the main vanguard, and even shoulder the heavy task of raiding Luoyang, relying on the strength of an army to defeat Luoyang.

But Wei Yan was not worried about whether he could complete the task, he was full of confidence in this battle.

After Wei Yan conveyed Zhu Wei's decision in that meeting, Wei Yan had already started military preparations for a raid on Luoyang in Wancheng, although for the sake of secrecy, Wei Yan did not reveal any news about the raid on Luoyang, and only Wei Yan and Jiang Wan knew about it.

But externally, Wei Yan still relied on Zhu Wei's so-called allocation instructions, as if for the purpose of the army's pull-out, he had prepared grain, grass and materials in advance, so as to prepare for the surprise attack on Luoyang.

At the same time, in Wei Yan's secret tent, Wei Yan and Jiang Wan also secretly studied the route of sending troops to raid Luoyang many times, and reported to Zhu Wei to ask for permission.

Zhu Wei also sent an accurate map to Wei Yan's side, but Wei Yan still sent his henchmen and soldiers to serve as scouts to explore the difference between the map and the real environment to ensure that there would be no unexpected changes in the marching route.

So when Zhu Wei arranged for Zhang Xun to lead his troops to Wancheng to take over the garrison, Zhu Wei's military order to send troops from Jingnan Battalion also arrived.

At this time, Wei Yancai summoned the two generals of the Jingnan battalion, Chen Zhuo and Deng Yi, and other middle-level officers at all levels of military marquis and tun commanders, and explained the secret order issued by Zhu Wei to the Jingnan battalion to raid Luoyang.

Subsequently, according to the military tactics that Wei Yan had asked in advance, Zhang Xun sent 5,000 soldiers to pretend to be the Jingnan battalion, and in accordance with Zhu Weiming's military order, he made the illusion of moving in the direction of Fancheng, and continued to release smoke bombs to the outside world.

Wei Yan took the 10,000 main forces of the Jingnan battalion to carry about fifteen days of dry food and went straight to the direction of Daguguan outside the south gate of Luoyang.

Along the way, Wei Yan followed the route he had already chosen, marching as fast as possible, according to Wei Yan's plan, even if his traces were discovered by Cao Cao's scouts, he would kill to Dagu Pass and capture Dagu Pass before Cao Cao's scouts warned Luoyang.

As for Jiang Wan, he will take the remaining 5,000 soldiers in the Jingnan battalion and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers to transport the follow-up grain and grass materials, and slowly catch up.

It took almost five days like this, and Wei Yan had indeed entered the territory of Luoyang by means of a rapid march, and he could reach Dagu Pass in half a day at most.

At this time, Zhu Wei had just sent You Heng away, and he had just made a gesture of going to Luoyang in Xiangyang, playing the slogan of repairing the imperial capital for the Son of Heaven and waiting for the Son of Heaven to return to the capital.

As for Cao Cao, he didn't know that Zhu Wei had set his sights on Luoyang, although it was true that Cao Jun's scouts had discovered the traces of Wei Yan's army before, but after the news was reported, Xiahoudun, who was stationed in Xiangcheng, did not understand the purpose of Zhu Wei's army at all.

At this time, Xiahoudun thought that Zhu Wei's army was going to attack Yingchuan, so he only stepped up his preparations for the first line of defense in Yingchuan, and then sent the news of the discovery of Zhu Wei's army to Xu Du to inform Cao Cao.

As for the defenders of Dagu Pass, the southern gate of Luoyang, they were completely unaware of any killing opportunities, and they still opened the gate as usual and carried out daily checkpoint care......
