84_84334 Yique is the dragon gate of later generations, only five miles away from Luoyang, because of the flow of Yishui, such as the natural gate que, so it is called Yique, later in the Sui Dynasty, because the Sui Yang Emperor took Luoyang as the eastern capital, because the palace gate is facing Yique, the ancient emperor took the true dragon and regarded himself as the son of heaven, so it was named "Longmen".

And Yique Pass is one of the eight passes of Luoyang set up in the first year of Zhongping (184 AD) to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion, during which the valleys are connected, it is the gateway to Luoyang, as long as this pass is occupied, Luoyang will no longer be in danger to defend, so it has always been a place where soldiers must fight.

Although today's Yique Pass has been attacked by Liu Qi's tens of thousands of tigers and wolves, but because the long-range siege weapon catapult has not yet arrived, and the geographical location is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although it has been ten days, it is still firmly in the hands of the Wei army.

At this time, Sima Yi, who joined the army in Yique Pass, already knew about Cao Cao's relocation of the capital, in fact, long before he was ordered to guard Yique Pass, Cao Cao had already consulted his opinion, and it was also his one of his buildings to move the capital to Yecheng, and now the opinion has been adopted, Cao Cao held the emperor hostage and led the team to move the capital to Yecheng, which is in accordance with the direction he envisioned to develop, but he knows that if he can't complete Cao Cao's entrustment this time, he will lose Cao Cao's trust, so that years of planning will be turned into water.

Sima Yi was born with a different appearance, with the appearance of a wolf, that is, the body does not move and the head can be completely turned to the back, such a appearance is a person with improper intentions, viciousness and jealousy, partial and ambitious, and has the ambition of an emperor, and Sima Yi is also such a person, because Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others gathered together, even if he was recruited by Cao Cao, he had no status, so he deliberately pretended to be sick. Refusing Cao Cao's solicitation, and even when Cao Cao sent assassins to spy on him to see if he was pretending to be sick, he remained motionless, making Cao Cao think that he was really sick.

It wasn't until Xun Yu was captured later that Cao Cao was suspicious of Guo Jia, Xun You and others. Only then did he forcibly recruit him as a guest of the curtain, and then Sima Yi saw that Guo Jia was sick and died, and Xun Yun, the son of Xun Yu, fled to Xiangyang, so he actively excluded Xun You, and finally made Xun You suspicious, and then seriously ill. In the end, he had no choice but to flee to Chu and surrender to Liu Qi, coupled with Cheng Yu's slickness, using old age as an excuse not to ask about political affairs, Cao Cao finally relied on him very much. is no less than Xun Yu and Guo Jia back then.

Sima Yi has worked hard for so many years to gain Cao Cao's trust, and he has succeeded in making Cao Hong obey his words, and even give up his military power, and he is about to hold power, how can he fail again at this juncture? So this time, it can be said that he used his greatest potential, concentrated on guarding, and absolutely did not allow the slightest difference.

In the camp of the Chu army, Lu Meng expressed his incomprehension that Liu Qi did not attack the city with all his might. couldn't help but make a statement to Liu Qi, and asked himself to lead his troops and horses to launch an all-out attack on Yique Pass, and he would definitely be able to take Yique Pass within three days.

Liu Qi said with a smile: "Ziming doesn't know anything. Sima Yi is not a simple person, the reason why we captured Yangzhai before was mainly with the help of catapults and crossbows, so that Sima Yi could not be guarded, and now since Sima Yi swore to defend Yique Pass, he must have been prepared for our siege methods. Hugh said that the catapult had not yet arrived, and even if it had arrived. In terms of the dangerous pass established by the Wei army on the Yique Mountain, it is difficult for us to break through. What's more, even if we can break through, we can't carry out a strong attack at any cost, which is an unwise move to injure the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800 by ourselves. ”

"But we can't just watch the army come to Luoyang and not be allowed to enter, right? Once the reinforcements from Hebei arrive, won't Luoyang City, which we have been planning for many days, go down the drain? ”

Lu Meng was still unconvinced, and said loudly.

But I heard Liu Qi persuade: "Although Ziming can rest assured, our army is in Yique, the soldiers and civilians in Luoyang City are shaken, and many civil and military officials who are committed to the Han family are secretly preparing to connect with our army and plan Luoyang, and all the elite soldiers in Luoyang have been thrown into guarding Yique Pass and guarding against internal chaos, not to mention that now their Hangu Pass is in danger, and it can be lowered in the future, as long as we obtain Hangu Pass, even if Sima Yi is capable, how can he defend Luoyang?" ”

Then Liu Qi whispered in Lu Meng's ear: "Now the rear of the Cao Bureau is very empty, as long as this king orders Gan Ning's naval army to attack Heyin by surprise, the soldiers of Hangu Pass can only retreat in panic under fear, and Gongjin's sergeants will inevitably take the opportunity to cover up and kill, so that we can not only seize Hangu Pass, but also block Cao Cao's retreat, so that he will die without a place to be buried." ”

After listening to Liu Qi's words, Lu Meng suddenly woke up like a dream, arched his hand at Liu Qi, and said with admiration: "The lord is clever, and the end will not be enough." ”

Liu Qi smiled mysteriously at Lu Meng, and then said secretly: "I have Pang Shiyuan, Xun Wenruo, Jia Wen and the three top wise men by my side secretly helping, but in order to paralyze Cao Cao, they did not make a public appearance, otherwise, they would definitely flee from Luoyang after hearing that I am here." How can this king save the Son of Heaven at that time? ”

But what Liu Qi didn't expect was that a few days later, he suddenly heard Lu Meng's report that Yique Pass suddenly lost the trace of the enemy army, and the door was wide open.

Liu Qi couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, thinking that this should be Sima Yi's empty city plan, but Sima Yi has always been as cunning as a fox, with his style, he only needs to be patient and restrain his hands, and he should not use such an unreasonable strategy.

If something goes wrong, it must be a demon, and now even Liu Qi can't figure out the reality of the pass.

At this moment, a voice was suddenly heard: "The lord does not need to hesitate, this matter must be Cao Cao's jealousy, led the soldiers to withdraw from Luoyang, and Sima Yi's Cao Cao order, here to stick to the Yique Pass, now see Cao Cao safely transferred, and then suddenly led the army to retreat, so, we only need to lead the army into the pass, occupy Yique, and then we can take Luoyang." ”

As soon as Liu Qi heard this voice, he knew that it was Jia Xu who came, and when he looked back, he found that it was not only Jia Xu, but also Pang Tong and Xun Yu came together.

The three wise men appeared in public, does this indicate that Cao Cao really evacuated Luoyang, and they don't need to disguise anymore?

Although Liu Qi still didn't understand why they made such a judgment in his heart, he knew that since it was the common judgment of the three top wise men, things would definitely not go wrong, so he immediately ordered Lu Meng to lead his army to occupy Yique Pass.

Lü Meng was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately followed the order, it was just a cup of tea, and he saw that Lü Meng sent someone to send military information, and there was indeed no one on Yique Pass, and he looked at Luoyang from the mountain with clairvoyance, and found that the city was sparse and sparse, and there seemed to be not many soldiers guarding it.

"Could it be that Cao Cao really evacuated Luoyang? Alas, I really didn't expect that I would fall for this old thief's plan today. ”

Liu Qi was annoyed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to order the army to enter the customs, and then repair it for a day, and then send troops to Luoyang City the next day, vowing to take Luoyang in one go.

But I didn't expect that night there was a messenger in Luoyang City to see, someone said that it was the general of Li You, the captain of Luoyang City Gate, this time it was mainly entrusted by some officials in the city, and asked Liu Qi to surrender, these officials were: Xing Tai Chang, Da Si Nong, Anyang Pavilion Marquis Wang Yi, Zuo Zhonglang General Yang Xuan, Shi Baoxun, Yang Mi, Shaofu Xie Huan, Lieutenant Xu Yi, Shangshu Youcheng Pan Xun and others, these people are either loyal to the Han family, or see that the Chu army is strong, and will win the world in the future. After Sima Yi's army left, he quietly found Li You, the captain of the city gate, and asked him to send someone out to surrender to the king of Chu.

It was only then that Liu Qi knew that there were only 3,000 soldiers in Luoyang City, and the main general of the city guard was the main participant in the killing of Queen Fu and the killing of the crown prince, and Cao Cao's army had already left Luoyang for five days, and had already arrived in Hanoi at this time.

Liu Qi comforted the envoy with kind words, and welcomed these loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty who had surrendered, and awarded them the corresponding official positions, so that the envoy could take them back after the fate was good.

Early the next morning, Liu Qi's army came to Luoyang City, Xi Wei was just a civil servant, he didn't understand military affairs at all, and Li You, the captain of the city gate, immediately opened the city gate and surrendered, and the 3,000 army abandoned his weapons and surrendered without the slightest resistance.

Liu Qibing took Luoyang without blood, and then ordered someone to bring Xi Wei up, announced his guilt in public, and ordered his soldiers to push him out of the noon gate, and cut him at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Xi Wei shouted that he was wronged, saying that this qiē was all from Cao Cao's instructions, and he had to do it as a last resort.

Liu Qi sneered and said: "This king naturally knows that this qiē is instructed by the old thief, but you are the imperial historian of the dynasty. The dignified Hanchen, who does not know self-love, actually did such evil things as claustrophobia and killing the queen and beheading the prince, not only you yourself, even the ancestors will be ashamed, as an accomplice of the old thief, you do not know the canonical punishment, which is not enough to make the people angry and chill the loyal ministers and righteous people in the world. As for Cao Cao's old thief, this person is full of evil and has committed heinous crimes, this king will not let him go, and after killing your old thief, he will personally lead the army to attack Hebei, welcome back the Son of Heaven, and thank the world for the head of the Cao thief. It seems that such a thief as a father, disloyal and unrighteous people, it is a shame for the king to say a word to you, come and escort the old thief to the noon gate, and today the king himself is the supervisor and beheading the official, and kill this rebellious minister and thief. ”

Xi Wei listened to Liu Qi's words, was silent for a long time, and then sighed long, and said with a wry smile: "A moment of greed, even caused the evening to be unsafe, not only humiliating the ancestors, but also leaving a bad reputation for future generations, this is also deserved, Cao thief, when you use me, you are like a brother, and when you don't use it, you are like a shoe, but unfortunately I was tortured at three o'clock in the afternoon, I'm afraid I can't even do ghosts, otherwise, I will definitely see how miserable you will be when you go to hell in the future?" ”

After finishing speaking, Xi Wei slowly shed a line of tears of remorse, and then did not resist, was escorted to the noon gate, and finally ended his life full of sins under Liu Qi's personal supervision. (To be continued).
