When the rebels of Bingzhou conquered Yanshi all the way, they soon came to Luoyang City. Set up camp ten miles outside the upper east gate, the north is close to the mountain, and the camp of the Xiongnu coalition army in the south is the horn of each other.

After stabilizing the camp, Lu Bu ordered to step up the increase of siege equipment, and ordered someone to write a letter of persuasion to surrender and prepare to enter Luoyang City.

The successive victories along the way have made Lu Bu completely inflated, and he imagined that as long as his persuasion letter was surrendered, the imperial court would tremble under his military authority and go out of the city to surrender.

However, before the written letter of surrender was thrown into the city, the court gave him a resounding slap in the face.

The imperial court sent an envoy to him and sent him a letter of war.

At the beginning of the letter, he severely condemned Lu Bu's treacherous behavior, and the words were sharp, so that Lu Bu was so angry that he almost tore the letter in his hand, and then pulled the messenger out to cut off his head and sacrifice the flag.

It was only when he saw what was said at the end of the battle book that Lu Bu's face showed a look of disbelief.

The little emperor of the imperial court actually proposed to fight him to the death outside Luoyang City.

Although the Bingzhou army is not afraid of attacking the city, Luoyang is the capital of a country after all, and the city defense is not comparable to ordinary cities. Even if the state army can capture Luoyang in the end, it will have to pay a considerable price. But on the plains, there is a battlefield where wolves gallop and gallop. Lu Bu believed that if the imperial court really put up a position to fight a decisive battle under the city, it would not be able to withstand a charge by the cavalry of the state.

In Lu Bu's view, it must be that the little emperor does not know military affairs and commands indiscriminately, this is the opportunity given to him by God to gain the power of the world.

Lu Bu put down the letter and said coldly to the messenger: "I originally wanted to wait for the fate of heaven, and then stay and wait for the remnant of life. But if you are so self-defeating, I will not show mercy. Today, put your dog's head on your neck, go back and tell the puppet emperor Liu Wei that Ben Hou will take his war letter, and he will take the head of Er and others after he breaks the city one day! ”

Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to drive the messenger out of the camp, and when the messenger saw that Lu Bu had accepted the war letter, he didn't say anything anymore, let the soldiers push and shove, and only stopped after walking far out of the camp, looked back and saw that no one was chasing after him, so he wiped the sweat on his head and exhaled with confidence.

When the two armies are at war, sending out enemy camps is an extremely dangerous job. Especially the messenger of the war book.

Although there is also a saying in this era that the two armies will not fight each other, it also varies from person to person. If you encounter someone who has a deep hatred between us and the enemy, or someone who is unreasonable, it is not impossible to do something to vent your anger. And no matter how Lu Bu looks at it, he looks like a person who can do this kind of thing, so this envoy is also quite fortunate to be able to escape safely from Lu Bu's camp.

After being reassured, a hateful look appeared on the messenger's face.

"Lu thief, the Sima clan has a deep enmity with you, and I, Sima Lang, will one day break your body into ten thousand pieces!" The messenger muttered to himself in hatred.

After Wen County was breached, the state army and the Hun cavalry wantonly burned and looted, and the Sima clan, as a big clan in Hanoi, also suffered a military disaster. In addition to Sima Lang and his father Sima Fang who served in the capital and escaped the military disaster, fortunately, the other young brothers also escaped with the help of the second brother Sima Yi and the third brother Sima Fu. But most of the other clansmen were slaughtered by Lu Bu's rebels, and at this time it was already a broken hatred.

Such a deep hatred and hatred for Sima Lang is difficult to calm down. This time, he sent an envoy to the state army camp to write a war letter, and he took the initiative to ask for help. The purpose was to take a closer look at the state army and see what flaws could be found.

It's just that after reading it, Sima Lang was really impressed by the Bingzhou Army, a strong army in the world. It is indeed not a fluke to be able to win all the way to Luoyang City. However, Sima Lang also saw Lu Bu's pride.

The so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, although Sima Lang has never participated in the army, but the general truth is still understood. At this time, he analyzed it like this, and he regretted that he should have pretended to be more cowardly in front of Lu Bu just now, which would make him even more arrogant and contempt the enemy.

He was still a little improvised, and he was also pressed by the power of Lu Bu and the Bingzhou army. If Guo Fengxiao, who is good at change, comes, maybe he won't be like this.

Sima Lang and Guo Jia are fellow scholars, although Guo Jia's ranking is not as high as Sima Lang, but Sima Lang has never felt that an exam can determine the intelligence of the two.

The personal relationship between the two on weekdays is still good, and the wisdom and courage shown by Guo Jia during the interaction are still very impressive to Sima Lang.

At this time, Guo Jia, like Sima Lang, was also an envoy of the imperial court, and the envoy was the camp of the Xiongnu coalition army.

In Hu Chuquan's camp, Guo Jia looked at Hu Chuquan calmly in the face of Hu Chuquan's angry eyes, and did not take Hu Chuquan's words about beheading him to sacrifice to heaven at all.

Hu Chuquan didn't even look at the letter from Liu Wei brought by Guo Jia, but said to Guo Jia coldly: "I heard that the Chinese Yuan Yuan scholars are all clever words, you came here at this time to disturb the hearts of our army, are you really not afraid of death at all?" ”

"For the Son of Heaven, for the country, for the people, the righteousness is here, so why die?" After Guo Jia finished speaking, he didn't need the soldiers on the left and right sides to pull him out, and he was about to walk out of the camp directly.

When Guo Jia walked into the camp just now, Hu Chuquan yelled to pull him out to sacrifice the flag before he could say a word, and he had the idea of giving the imperial envoy an idea to dismount, so that he could occupy the initiative in the negotiations.

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia was going to die if he didn't say anything, and Hu Chuquan, who was quite difficult to ride a tiger, glanced at the left and right, and the soldiers on the left and right hurriedly pulled Guo Jia back.

He knew in his heart that the imperial court must have sent an envoy to win him over, and he heard that the envoy had also brought three large boxes of treasures for himself. Presumably, the conditions offered by the imperial court must be rich, and Hu Chuquan doesn't want to make this matter yellow without knowing anything.

After the soldier pulled himself back to the tent, an imperceptible smile flashed on Guo Jia's face. All of Hu Chuquan's performances and reactions were exactly the same as he had expected in his heart before he came. The Huns and the state army are not monolithic at all!

Guo Jia guessed correctly, before he came, the relationship between the Xiongnu coalition army and the Bingzhou army was already quite delicate.

Originally, Lü Bu borrowed troops from the Xiongnu and promised them to plunder the Central Plains. However, when Lu Bu led the Bingzhou army to march all the way, attacking the city and plundering the land, and laying a huge territory. Lü Bu began to realize that the great damage caused by the Xiongnu in the Central Plains had actually caused him great trouble.

The Huns came to grab a handful and pack up and return to their hometown, but he really wanted to stay and continue to rule these territories. If the Huns destroyed this place too badly, then what else would he rule?

Moreover, the Xiongnu coalition did not help him much militarily, at most he played a role of waving the flag and shouting, but it gave him a bad reputation for causing chaos in the Central Plains. Lü Bu faintly regretted borrowing troops from the Xiongnu, so he began to restrain the Xiongnu tribes from plundering the Central Plains.

On the Xiongnu side, Lü Bu promised to plunder before going south with him. But now that he has reversed his word, he has crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and he has betrayed his promise.

However, Lu Bu is now in full swing, and the Huns rebelled with Lu Bu, so they can't easily turn back at this time, that is, they are afraid of Lu Bu's might, and there is no other way out, so they can only dare to be angry with Lu Bu and dare not speak, and follow him all the way to the dark.

However, now that the imperial court sent an envoy to throw an olive branch to him, this made Hu Chuquan see another opportunity, and naturally he couldn't give it up easily.

"I saw that you were laughing for no reason just now, so I pulled you back and asked for an understanding." Hu Chuquan still put on a majestic look, and said to Guo Jia who returned to the camp with a cold attitude.

Did I just laugh? Guo Jia had a black line in his head. Hu Chuquan's reason for finding the steps down the steps is too far-fetched.

However, Guo Jia also understood that although the negotiation power was already in his hands, it was really not good to fall out with Hu Chuquan, so he had to follow his meaning and said: "Before I went on an envoy, many people said that I would inevitably be killed by the king. ”

Hu Chuquan was silent, and only after a long time did he say: "I did hear that today's son is a puppet edict to succeed to the throne, so I followed Lu Wenhou to raise troops to support the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty. ”

Guo Jia asked: "The king said that today's son is a puppet emperor, but what evidence is there?" ”

Hu Chuquan was silent again.

Guo Jia then said: "Without evidence, how can you believe the words of others? ”

Hu Chuquan sighed dejectedly, pretended to be annoyed, and said: "We were deceived by Lu Bu and sent troops with him to be enemies of the imperial court, and now that the big mistake has been made, will you forgive us today?" ”

Having said this, Guo Jia also understood Hu Chuquan's thoughts, and immediately said: "It's not too late to make amends." The Son of Heaven knew that the king was deceived, and the king opened the letter written by the Son of Heaven himself. ”

Hu Chuquan hurriedly opened the envelope, and the content of the letter was naturally Liu Wei's words of comfort. The traditional brotherly relationship between Han and Hungary was recalled. And the letter repeatedly stated that he understood the bitterness of the Xiongnu being coaxed and coerced by Lu Bu. I hope that Hu Chuquan can come to his senses and strike a blow at Lu Bu. In the end, he also promised all kinds of benefits to the Xiongnu from the imperial court, and in order to show his sincerity, he also presented three large boxes of treasures to Huchuquan.

After confirming the treasure, Hu Chuquan immediately said with red eyes: "Your Majesty doesn't blame me for the sin, and treats me like a brother, which really makes us ashamed, and our sin is unforgivable." ”

Guo Jia comforted him and said: "If you know your mistakes, change them, if the king can strike a blow at Lu Bu, he will be a great contribution to the country." ”

Hu Chuquan said in embarrassment: "How dare you disobey Your Majesty's order, but Lu Bu's power is huge, and he is afraid that he will not be able to do it." ”

Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty has made an appointment with Lu Bu to fight to the death under Luoyang City in ten days, and when the king launches it together, Lu Bu will definitely be defeated." ”

"In that case, we will do our best!"

After Hu Chuquan agreed, Guo Jia did not stay for a long time. Return to Luoyang City and return to the Son of Heaven Liu Wei.

Liu Wei nodded again and again after listening to Guo Jia's report, it is a very important thing to be able to deal with the Xiongnu coalition army.

Of course, Liu Wei and Guo Jia and other subordinates were not stupid enough to believe that the Huns would really fight against the Bingzhou army. However, as long as the Huns can stand by, it will be of great help to the imperial court.

Liu Wei ordered Guo Jia to go back to rest, and he began his final preparations.

Then, ten days later, the Battle of Luoyang, one of the famous siege battles in the history of the Guangxi Empire, began.
