Liu Bei, Ge Liang and Guan Yu arrived in Xingyang together, and met Zhang Fei and Ma Chao's people on the west road smoothly.

Everyone didn't expect Zhang Fei and their attack to go so smoothly, and they had already taken Luoyang first, so they hurriedly asked what was going on.

Zhang Fei introduced Wang Ping, Jiang Wei and Fan Jiang to their clever tricks and coincidences, and then laughed triumphantly: "Not only did you not expect it, but Cao Ren and them didn't expect it either. As soon as the hussar general and I saw that Luoyang had been taken, we immediately outflanked it to the east without stopping. As soon as we arrived in Chenggao, they didn't have time to guard against it, and some of them themselves rebelled and defected, so we entered Chenggao City without much effort. Then he went east to Xingyang, where the defenders had abandoned the city and fled. ”

"It turns out that there are internal responses everywhere." Ge Liang quipped with Zhang Fei, "In that case, why didn't the general simply make persistent efforts and chase straight to Yecheng?" ”

"I want to too!" Zhang Feizheng felt sorry, and slammed his left palm with a fist with his right hand, "It's just that the progress is too fast, and the troops can't be sent." Luoyang is an important place in Beijing, and the emperor is coming here again, so I have to keep the stability around Luoyang first. Don't you forget, aren't there still a large number of enemy troops in the mountains to the south that have not been destroyed? ”

Liu Bei hurriedly said to Zhang Fei: "Okay, okay, to be able to break through Hangu Pass so quickly, you and the hussar general have done a good job." ”

Ma Chao was humble: "The defenders over there actually can't help fighting." It may be that their Chinese army suffered heavy losses in the first battle of Pusaka, and many of the rest were urgently transferred Tuntian people, once our army broke through Shaanxi and Tianjin, they were cut off by the waist, and they ran and fell. ”

Zhang Fei did not deny it: "The Tuntian army over there said that the field tax was too high to hate the Cao Wei family for a long time, and the troops here not only said the field tax, but also said that His Majesty has the help of the gods in Xuchang, and the mandate of heaven to rejuvenate the Han family cannot be violated." By the way, what the hell is going on over there, what kind of god have you invited? ”

Ge Liang hurriedly changed his serious expression: "We invited the two great gods of Dong Dong Dong and Bang Bang Bang, so I asked you if you are afraid?" ”

Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were confused: "What kind of god is this?" How come you've never heard of it? ”

Now that there are many people, it's not good to talk to them about this, Liu Bei hurriedly interrupted: "People in the world have their hearts and minds, and they have their own gods to help them." By the way, what's going on here now? ”

Zhang Fei replied: "Actually, it's about the same. Those Wei troops are now in chaos, and many generals have led the people to surrender. Those who did not want to surrender were blocked by those who surrendered. By the way, Xiahou Shang, the commander of the enemy army, had already been captured yesterday. ”

"Wow!" Ge Liangdu exclaimed, "Even Xiahou Shang has been caught, so isn't the war over here?"

Liu Bei was even more overjoyed, and even asked Zhang Fei: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Zhang Fei hurriedly defended: "It wasn't us who captured it, it was his own subordinates who came to surrender with him." ”

This was the first time he had caught the enemy governor, and Ge Liang couldn't help but want to see: "Then where is he now?" ”

"Just locked up in this Xingyang City, you can take him to see him now." Zhang Fei touched the back of his head, "However, there seems to be something wrong with him." ”

Xiahou Shang and the generals who had taken him to surrender were escorted in.

Those generals visited Liu Bei, and they all said that the revival of the Han family was difficult to disobey the mandate of heaven, and they wanted to change their past mistakes, only Xiahou Shang stood and refused to kneel, and said what I Xiahou Shang was greedy for life and afraid of death on his knees.

Although it is unpleasant, this is normal, he Xiahou is still deeply loved by the Cao family, and it is normal that he is unwilling to surrender? Liu Bei and Ge Liang both looked at Zhang Fei and didn't understand what he said.

Xiahou Shang immediately scolded: "You beasts! I know the conspiracy all day long, and rob the woman of the good family! ”

"Look at you!" Zhang Fei frowned, pointed at Xiahou Shang and said to everyone, "Have you seen it?" He's not going to be done yet. I've had enough! ”

As he spoke, he rushed to Xiahou Shang, glared at him and shouted, "What's the matter with you?" He Xiahou Zhongquan scolded me, after all, their brother and sister grew up eating together since childhood, and they are closer than their own brothers and sisters, so why do you scold me like this? ”

Xiahou Shang's eyes were also bleeding: "You return my people!" Give me back! ”

The people present were all inexplicable, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were stunned, glanced at each other, and shook their heads again and again, what a feud this Zhang Fei grabbed a lady and had a big enmity with the Xiahou family!

Ge Liangleng paused, and then remembered that Xiahou Shang was a lover recorded in the book, and remembered that he had received a war report sent back by Zhang Wei before, and Xiahou Shang's beautiful concubine had been intercepted and placed under house arrest.

He walked over and pulled Zhang Fei away, and said to Xiahou Shang: "You scolded the wrong person!" ”

Xiahou Shang reacted quickly, and immediately recognized Ge Liang: "It's you?" You animal husbandry, return my people! Give me back! ”

Ge Liang pressed his shoulder and comforted him in a good voice: "Okay, okay, I can return it to you in a few days." You can rest assured, she is fine, eats well and sleeps well every day. She's thinking about you, too. Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. You'll be able to see her in a few days. You can stay together again. ”

"Look-alike?" Xiahou Shang immediately quieted down, frowning and whispering, as if he was thinking about something.

Ge Liang asked Zhang Fei: "Is he like this all the time, or is it like this occasionally?" ”

"Where can I figure it out!" Zhang Fei was so annoying, "It was fine, but suddenly I went crazy, and after a while, it was fine again." Yesterday, I came back, and I made trouble three or four times. It's inexplicable! Hey, you say, what's the matter with him? Does he need to be in such a hurry? If you want to be crazy, why didn't you go crazy earlier, how many years have you been. ”

Ge Liang didn't explain to Zhang Fei, so it was quite fun to let him be anxious there for a while, and only went over and whispered a few words to Liu Bei.

It turned out that it was because Zhang Wei detained Xiahou Shang's concubine Jiang, not that Zhang Fei robbed the woman of Xiahou's family to be his wife, Liu Bei understood and shook his head again and again.

Ge Liang pointed at Zhang Fei and said to Liu Bei: "Your Majesty, this is something that cannot be helped. Who made them surnamed Zhang always do this kind of thing? ”

Liu Bei nodded again and again, and laughed: "Yes, yes, you are right, who made them all surnamed Zhang." ”

Zhang Fei was anxious, and approached and asked loudly, "What's wrong?" Is the surname Zhang still guilty? ”

At this moment, someone came in to report that Xu Shu had also led the army over Taihang Mountain and arrived at Yewang City.

It turned out that Wei Yan went out of Huguan privately, stumped Xu Shu, hesitated whether to turn back to support, and finally came over the mountain, but learned that Cao Pi had fled, almost all the surroundings of Luoyang had surrendered, and even Liu Bei was about to arrive in Xingyang. He's late!

Xu Shu was very angry, and Wei Yan did this, so he had to report it truthfully, so he hurriedly sent someone to deliver the letter first, asking for instructions on the next move.

Ge Liang hurriedly reported to Liu Bei, saying that since even Xiahou Shang had been captured, there would be no need for so many men and horses around Luoyang, so it was better to let Zhang Fei lead the army to quickly attack Yecheng with victory.

Guan Yu hurriedly answered: "I am willing to lead the army to break Ye City and capture Cao Pi." ”

He thought that Xuchang was taken by Ge Liang pretending to be a god, and Zhang Fei and Ma Chao also captured Luoyang along the way, but it seemed that he had no effect, so he was naturally unwilling, so he thought about leading his troops to attack Yecheng.

Ge Liang hurriedly asked Zhang Fei: "This Xiahou Shang has been captured, so what Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others have already surrendered?" ”

Zhang Fei shook his head: "Not yet, I heard that I am still trapped in the mountains." Otherwise, I would have gone after Cao Pi with a large army. ”

Ge Liang persuaded Guan Yu: "As the most important person in the emperor, it is better to accompany the emperor to enter Luoyang, and by the way, persuade the two generals Zhang and Xu to surrender." In addition, now that the general trend of the world has been decided, we can also free up manpower to help a group of Anton General Ma Zhong. Why don't the generals send the major generals to Xuzhou? The people of Jingzhou know the water nature, and it may be more useful over there. Let General Zhang lead more cavalry to the north to chase Cao Pi, maybe he will return to his hometown in Youzhou for glory by the way? ”

Guan Yu thought about it, then nodded in agreement.

Liu Bei felt that it was the same, so he asked Zhang Fei to gather troops and horses to go north to help Zhang Wei and Wei Yan.

Ge Liang found Ma Chao again: "Hussar generals Lian Keyongliang and Luoyang are really tired, so it's better to lead his troops to rest and garrison here for a while." Well, then, I mean, can you lend us some war horses? I want General Wang Ping and them to go to Yecheng as well. ”

Ma Chao didn't want to go to Yecheng again at all, he didn't want to be too far away from Guanzhong, but when he heard that Ge Liang wanted horses again, he was a little reluctant, didn't he just give Wei Yan three thousand, and he made up some back to Yongliang, do you want this again? At that moment, he couldn't help but mutter: "Da Sima, when we give birth to Ma Qu in Xiliang, it is as fast as the old hen lays eggs." ”

Ge Liang hurriedly affirmed: "Borrow, this time it's borrowing!" There is borrowing and repaying, and it is not difficult to borrow again! The world is good to ride, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, General Zhang is going, I am afraid that Youzhou and Youzhou will be completely pacified. When the time comes, the good horse will not worry, and we will return it all. ”

Zhang Fei also said: "Merge the state? I've already won a big battle in Bingzhou before. Not only the state, but even the Saiwai Xianbei and Karasuma have almost been swept away. ”

Ma Chao realized that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly said: "Da Sima said that he is talking about foreign words, they are all the courtiers of His Majesty the Han Emperor, and how can they dare to be selfish when they rejuvenate the Han family?" I'm barely getting 5,000 horses right now. When I explain to the Qiang Shuai, I'll give it all to you. ”

Liu Bei was afraid that the horse would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly said: "The hussar general guards the land of Xiliang, how can he be without a war horse, half of it will be fine, and it will be returned at that time." ”

Ma Chao couldn't take his words back: "All help the general and the general of the chariot cavalry to sweep away Yu Kou, this Xiliang land, there should be no rebellion for the time being." In case something happens, it's not too late to ask the emperor to send people to help quell the rebellion. ”

Ge Liang didn't want to embarrass Ma Chao: "This cavalry, I still have to ask General Ma Dai to lead it, and follow General Che Cai to Yecheng as soon as possible." If Cao Pi abandons the city and flees, then pursue it all the way. If Cao Pi held on to the city, Ling Di would only need to help out outside the city. ”

Since Ma Chao has expressed his position, he has to do it to the end: "As long as the Qiang kings are willing, they can send as many as they can." In addition to helping the general to go north, he also sent a part of the general's troops to the east. ”
