This time, Liu Biao, in line with the purpose of taking Luoyang, the land of Longxing, ordered his nephew Liu Pan to lead 50,000 troops to attack Luoyang.
Luoyang, the place where Emperor Guangwu built his capital. Ancient Chinese myths such as Emperor Yu, Tang Yao, Yu Shun, and Xia Yu are mostly spread here. Emperor Yu capital Boyi, Xia Taikang moved the capital to the city, Shang Tang Ding capital Xi'an; King Wu fell, and eight hundred princes would meet Mengjin; Zhou Gong assisted the government, and later the declining Zhou Dynasty moved to Luoyi. King Ping moved eastward, Gaozu fought Xiang Yu in Luoyang, Guangwu Zhongxing, and Luoyang as the capital.
Liu Biao is a descendant of Liu Yu, the king of Han Lugong, and he is coveted for this famous city through the ages, if he can take Luoyang City, with his royal blood, he may be able to ...... At that time, Emperor Guangwu was also a declining royal family, and the place of fortune was also in Nanyang County, Jingzhou, and Liu Biao was still very willing to be the master of Zhongxing of the Han Dynasty.
With Liu Biao's ardent expectations, Liu Pan led the army to Luoyang.
When Liu Pan's army was halfway through, he suddenly heard that Cao Cao had sent his general Xiahou Yuan to lead 70,000 troops to Luoyang. Immediately sent a letter to Jingzhou, although the combat effectiveness of Jingzhou soldiers is now much stronger than before, but it may not be comparable to Cao Cao's arrogant soldiers, and Xiahou Yuan brought a full 70,000 soldiers and horses this time, in terms of strength alone, Jingzhou soldiers do not have any advantage.
Just when Liu Pan was distressed, a person in Luoyang City came to Liu Pan's camp.
"I've seen General Liu in Xia Sima Yi." Sima Yi was wearing a snow-white Confucian shirt, and his demeanor was very casual.
Looking at Sima Yi in front of him, Liu Pan gently tapped the table in front of him and said, "What is the matter with Sima Dudu's here?" ”
Three days ago, Liu Pan received the news that Sima Yi temporarily replaced Wei Yan as the governor of Luoyang. Liu Pan puffed his nose at this, in Liu Pan's heart, Sima Yi was a young man in his early twenties, how could he be the opponent of him, a battle-hardened general, maybe he fled with his tail between his legs before the war started.
Sima Yi respectfully bowed to Liu Pan and said, "I am here just to ask Liu Jingzhou to surrender and the general." "Now Jingzhou has been divided into two factions, Liu Biao's faction. and the faction of the emperor, Liu Pan is very satisfied with Sima Yi's words, because he himself is Liu Biao's nephew, if Liu Biao can ascend the throne, then his future is limitless.
"Oh." Liu Pan replied softly, and then tapped his fingers on the table in front of him again.
"Zhongda, as far as I know, the Guanzhong Army is strict in governing the army, and anyone who escapes from the battle, or betrays him, will punish the nine clans, are you not afraid?"
As soon as Liu Pan's words fell, Sima Yi burst into laughter.
"When Chen Fuzhi was there, I didn't dare to do the betrayal of escaping, but now that Chen Fuzhi is dead, and Liu Jingzhou is the queen of the imperial family, the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to do things, not to mention what has become of chaos in Guanzhong now, just saying that the current strength of Luoyang City can't keep Luoyang City, so why didn't I make some plans for myself in such a situation."
A glimmer of light flashed in Liu Pan's eyes, and he asked with a smile; "I don't know what kind of chaos has become in Guanzhong now."
Sima Yi sighed, and said with a look of great regret in his eyes: "Now Guanzhong has been torn apart, the 150,000 troops stationed in Jilusai are infighting, Zhang Xiu of Tianshui should not be ordered, the stable Yang Qiu has shown his disobedience, and Zhao Yun of Wuwei, you know that he is Ma Teng's son-in-law, and I see it hanging under the influence of my ears and eyes." As for Gao Shun in Hexi, although he was loyal to Chen Xun, the army in Hexi had already been transferred to Jilusai, and he couldn't let a group of farmers with hoes go to the battlefield. ”
Sima Yi is an important minister in Guanzhong, Chen Xun's cronies, and Liu Pan can't help but believe a little bit of his words.
"Zhongda, how many soldiers and horses are there in Luoyang City, so that you, who have a favorable location, come to join in person." Liu Pan looked at Sima Yi, his face was full of gentleness, if Sima Yi really took refuge sincerely, then with the geographical advantage of Luoyang Baguan. Liu Pan had the confidence to let Xiahou Yuan, the general of the Cao army, die in Luoyang City.
Sima Yi's words were a little sluggish, which made Liu Pan a little uncomfortable, and Liu Pan said unhappily: "Speak quickly." ”
Sima Yi gritted his teeth and said; "Originally, there were 80,000 troops stationed in Luoyang, but now most of them have been transferred by Li Ru to Chang'an to deter Yang Qiu and others, and now there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled."
Liu Pan's face showed a sudden look, no wonder Sima Yi would come to beg in person. Originally, if there were 30,000 defenders in Luoyang City, then it would be enough to fight with the Jingzhou soldiers he brought, even if there were only 20,000, they could compete with the tall city walls in Luoyang City. Thinking of this, Liu Pan's mind became lively, he walked to Sima Yi's side, put his hand on Sima Yi's shoulder and said: "Zhongda, I will wait for my uncle to accept your surrender, but in order to show your sincerity, I hope you can withdraw all the defenders of Luoyang Baguan and let my people guard the land of Luoyang Baguan." ”
"Okay, I will immediately withdraw all the soldiers of the Eight Passes of Luoyang." Sima Yi didn't say a word, and immediately agreed to Liu Pan's request.
Liu Pan's face became extremely warm, but a trace of deep disdain flashed in his eyes. In Liu Pan's heart, as long as he controls the land of Luoyang Baguan, then it is equivalent to holding the land of Luoyang in the palm of his hand, as long as he can repel the invading Cao Cao army, then he Liu Pan is the first hero of Jingzhou. But for what Sima Yi did, Liu Pan, as a military general, was deeply disdainful.
Liu Pan left Sima Yi in his big tent, and he almost didn't wear a pair of pants, and the next day, Liu Pan sent Sima Yi away, and when he looked at Sima Yi, there was only deep disdain in his eyes.
Through yesterday's drinking and fun, Liu Pan thinks that although Sima Yi is a little smart, he can't get into the hall of elegance, although he guards one side, he is as timid as a mouse.
"Thinking of Chen Fu's heroes, I can't imagine that there are such people who are greedy for life and afraid of death." Liu Pan looked at Sima Yi's back, and only sighed deeply in his heart.
After Sima Yi returned to Luoyang, he immediately summoned Liao Hua, the former deputy general of Wei Yan, who is now the commander of the Luoyang Army.
"Yuan Jian, order all the guards of the eight passes in Luoyang to withdraw to Luoyang." Sima Yi held the book and looked at Liao Huadao.
