Everyone led the horses to the gate of Luoyang City, only to see that the guards guarding the city were twice as many as before, and there were many lookout sentries and archers standing on the city gate, and even the inventory of entering the city became more strict.

Liu Bei said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in private: "This must be caused by the emperor's new move, and it may also be that a foreign enemy has come to invade the territory." ”

Zhang Fei patted his chest happily and said: "Hmph, foreign enemies are coming to invade the territory, and there is a battle to fight just now, I am really excited!" ”

Liu Bei didn't want Zhang Fei to make too much trouble, so he calmed his emotions with his words, and everyone was inspected one by one and entered the city, Luoyang's city was very large and prosperous, and the horses and people did not borrow from each other, and the whole was an orderly scene.

At this time, Wang Kuang had already united with Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain bandits, to lead his troops to camp in the south of Pinggang and north of Luoyang, preparing to launch a siege plan against Luoyang.

Han Hao suggested to Wang Kuang: "My lord, now that Zhao Yue has come to Luoyang with Emperor Xian, and there are many people, we are afraid that we will not be able to achieve victory, we might as well send two messengers, all the way to Zhang Duan, the king of Chang'an, and ask him to lead his troops to attack Hongnong, Zhang Duan and Zhao Yue have a long-standing enmity, and they will readily agree; The other way to Yuan Shao, promised to surrender, Yuan Shao must also be willing to lead the soldiers to come. ”

Wang Kuang is resolute, although he is not a resourceful person, but he also knows how to use strategy, listening to Han Hao's words, he immediately sent two messengers.

In the big tent, there is another tall man who thinks he has a yellow scarf on his head and a burly figure, he is Zhang Yan, and compared with Zhang Yan, the coach Wang Kuang this time looks a little hideous, with two eyes protruding, which makes people afraid when they look at it, but Wang Kuang is really a person with a fine heart.

When the news reached Luoyang City, Zhao Yue was anxious about whether to make an attack, and when he heard the news that Wang Kuang was determined to send an envoy to seek reinforcements, the gloom on his face became even heavier.

Seeing this, Jia Xu, who was waiting on the side, smiled lightly and said, "Why worry about the lord, I have a plan, but Yuan Shao will not only refuse to send troops to help Wang Kuang, but will also cause contradictions between the two." ”

Zhao Yue hurriedly asked, "What kind of plan, hurry up." ”

Jia Xu said: "You only need to send a few people to Yecheng to spread the news, and say that Wang Kuang and Zhang Yan are trying to settle Luoyang first, and then seek to capture Hebei together with Gongsun Zan under Yuan Shao." In this way, Yuan Shao is already suspicious, coupled with the unevenness of his advisers, he will definitely reject Wang Kuang, and at the same time, he will also be suspicious of Gongsun Zhan, and over time, maybe there will be some problems from the inside, so won't it be convenient for us to seek Yuan Shao's territory in the future? ”

"What a good plan." Zhao Yue stroked his hand and praised, and his face began to smile, I don't know why, if such a plan was dedicated to him by the idiot, Zhao Yue would add an extra layer of vigilance to the idiot in his heart, of course, this guard will not be superficial, but it does really exist.

However, if it was Jia Xu's words, Zhao Yue didn't have the slightest displeasure and unhappiness.

It may be due to two reasons, the first reason is that Jia Xu has served many monarchs and already has a considerable understanding of the way of courtiers, so he can make his own suggestions without arousing the hostility of the lord and the duke.

Second, probably because of Zhao Yue, imagine that when he met the idiot, he was still a stunned teenager who didn't know anything, and he was taught by the idiot little by little. In other words, the idiot understands how ignorant he was in the past, so after he succeeded, he was haunted by it and felt a little estranged in his heart.

Jia Xu was different, he didn't know what Zhao Yue was like before, which made Zhao Yue have a lot of confidence and mood to discuss problems with this strategist.

After adopting Jia Xu's suggestion, Yuan Shao's reinforcements along the way were not to be feared, but in order to prevent Zhang Duan of Chang'an from attacking Hongnong, Zhao Yue also had to decide to send Meng Idiot to Hongnong.

Only Jia Xu was left by his side to provide decision-making and advice.

At this time, Hongnong was not without generals who could fight well to resist Zhang Duan's soldiers and horses, and before the emperor moved the capital, Zhao Yue personally persuaded Zhang Liao and Xu Huang to surrender.

Fortunately, both of them are loyal and righteous people, but they strayed into the quagmire before, causing the pearl to be covered with dust, and this time Zhao Yue brought these two people under his command, which can be regarded as a supplement to the talent of the growing forces.

However, Zhao Yue came and went in a hurry, and he didn't have time to think about the loyalty of these two people after they just joined, so he hadn't given the two of them any big official positions in the court, but just let them stay in Hongnong for the time being, train their military horses every day, and wait for deployment.

Everything was arranged properly, and the plan was finally fulfilled, Yuan Shao listened to the rumors in the city, and directly asked people to beat the messenger sent by Wang Kuang out of Yecheng.

Hongnong was more in line with Zhao Yue's wishes, and the envoy sent by Wang Kuang fell into the legal net laid by the idiot in the city before he reached Zhang Duan, and even if he was killed, the head was sent to Luoyang, ready for Zhao Yue to take the front to ridicule Wang Kuang and Zhang Yan.

Wang Kuang, who learned the news, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and under his anger, he personally put on the battle as a vanguard, and despite Han Hao's dissuasion, he led five hundred troops to come to Luoyang City Gate to provoke. When Zhang Yan, a thief from Montenegro, learned of this situation, he also set out from the camp with an army of 5,000 to meet Wang Kuang.

In Luoyang City, the people who suddenly heard the sudden arrival of the enemy army fled in panic, but they were only in a short period of confusion, and when they panicked, they remembered the decree issued by Chen Qun: When the battle is about to begin, those who are in turmoil should be punished with a rod for twenty.

As a result, the people instantly calmed down and returned to their homes in order to take refuge along the streets, like well-organized ants.

Liu Bei stood in front of the tavern where he lived, looking at this scene, he just felt creepy, and in the wine glass he was holding in his hand, the wine surface was also shaking slightly, "I once heard that governing the people must be close to the people, but this Zhao Yue not only did this, but also was able to use the decree to rule the people like well-trained soldiers. ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others sat at the table near the door of the tavern, looking sideways at the street, all of them were silent, each with their own thoughts.

Zhao Yue had already put on armor and helmets in Chang'a Palace, and the maid who was in charge of serving him dressed showed a trace of blush on her face after seeing him dressed up, and her eyes began to dodge incessantly.

This can't be blamed on her, Zhao Yue usually shows people with an elegant image, but as soon as she puts on the armor, the general who is about to fight looks even more heroic and brave, a pair of dark eyes are hidden under the helmet, radiating two invincible eyes, and the well-proportioned body shape is not fat under the background of the close-fitting armor, but it is not thin.
