Chapter 203: Honest Man

Liu Pan couldn't help but retreat after learning that Chen Xun had returned to Chang'an and Wei Yan's 50,000 troops were marching towards Luoyang, but as soon as his retreat appeared, Sima Yi went to persuade Jian. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

": Zhongda, I know that you are afraid that Chen Fuzhi will settle accounts after the autumn, but don't worry, no one dares to touch you when you arrive in Xiangyang." Liu Pan looked at Sima Yidao, who came to persuade him.

Sima Yi was anxious when he heard this, and said: "Now is a good time to take Luoyang, although Chen Xun said that he returned to Chang'an, but as far as I know from my intelligence, many of them have already stretched out their dissent to him, and now Luoyang City is already under my control, as long as I repel Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses, then we will be able to keep Luoyang with the continuous supply of Jingxiang, if the general is afraid of Wei Yan's soldiers and horses, I am willing to make a military order to block, if I can't stop Wei Yan, I am willing to raise my head to see." ”

Liu Pan showed a thoughtful look and said: "In this case, Zhongda, you will lead the men and horses of your headquarters to block Wei Yan, and after I finish the decisive battle with the old thief Xiahou Yuan, I will definitely send troops to help you." Liu Pan knew that Sima Yi was afraid that Chen Xunqiu would settle accounts, and his betrayal was a capital crime, so blocking Wei Yan would definitely use all his solutions, which Liu Pan was convinced of.

Seeing that Liu Pan agreed to his suggestion, Sima Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he left the front line of Tiger Prison Pass and returned to Luoyang with soldiers and horses.

Liu Pan actually didn't want to fight this battle, because no matter whether he won or lost, it was no longer beneficial for him, but in the face of pressure from many parties, he still needed to fight with Xiahou Yuan, at least he needed to do some superficial work.

Therefore, Liu Pan made a life-and-death battle outside the Tiger Prison Pass, which made Xiahou Yuan can't help but be in a tight position, and he also received the news of Chen Xun's return, but now it is a golden opportunity to take Luoyang, he doesn't want to miss it, but if he fights Liu Pan now, the two sides will definitely lose both, and it will not be Wei Yan's corps that will profit at that time.

"The whole army is ready, raise my banner, and destroy Liu Pan's Jingzhou soldiers." Xiahou Yuan ordered.

Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, 40,000 Cao troops assembled. , In terms of elite, the Cao army is better than the Jingzhou army, but if the Jingzhou soldiers are more than one step ahead of them compared to the sophistication of the weapons, so neither side has an advantage, and this battle is more than which side lasts longer, and that side can win. Cao Jun formed a formation in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, but found that the Tiger Prison Pass was empty at this time, Xiahou Yuan was puzzled, but he didn't want the city pass sent to the door, so the Tiger Prison Pass changed hands.

Liu Pan withdrew his troops and prepared to return to Jingxiang, but he felt that this matter seemed to be a little unfavorable to Sima Yi, so he wrote to Sima Yi to inform him of his retreat route.

......

When Liu Pan's letter was delivered to Sima Yi, Sima Yi was drinking wine with Wei Yan, enjoying singing and dancing, when Sima Yi received Liu Pan's letter, his face showed a strange look, he felt that he seemed to have gone too far this time, and it was not his style to bully honest people.

"General Wei, Liu Pan is smarter than we thought, he has now retired from the army." Sima Yi's face showed a look of grief and indignation.

Hearing this, Wei Yan just let out a long roar and said, "The 50,000 armor soldiers I brought this time are all elites, and it is more than enough to deal with Xiahou Yuan's Cao Jun, so Zhong Da doesn't have to worry." ”

Looking at Wei Yan who was so hearty, Sima Yi only felt that there were too many honest people in this world, and he spread out the letter he had just received and said; "But I have Liu Pan's retreat route in my hands."

"Then I'll go and kill Liu Pan's army." Wei Yan got up, his face full of pride.

Sima Yi shook his head with a smile and said; "Why does General Wei have to be so troublesome, there are people who can help us solve Liu Pan's army."

Wei Yan's face showed a strange look and said a word of kindness.

......

Xiahou Yuan, who won the Tiger Prison Pass, looked at Luoyang, and made peace with Xiahou Shang of Mengjin, forming a flanking attack on Luoyang City.

At this moment, a well-dressed young scribe came to Xiahou Yuan's military camp.

"General Xiahou, I want to dedicate Luoyang City to Duke Cao." The person who spoke was of course Sima Yi, because he was now the real leader of Luoyang. Now that Sima Yi has betrayed Chen Xun, Guanzhong can't go back, and Liu Pan led his troops to withdraw to Jingxiang, now that Sima Yi thinks about it, there is indeed only one way to surrender them.

Although he thought so in his heart, but his face couldn't show his voice, Xiahou Yuan's tiger body was shocked, and he squinted at Sima Yi and said; "Now that Luoyang City is in my pocket, why do you want to dedicate the city to me." Xiahou Yuan's tone was full of disdain, but Sima Yi didn't seem to hear the trace of ridicule in Xiahou Yuan's words.

Sima Yi straightened his clothes, and then said; "Although the general can take Luoyang, but with the strength of Luoyang, there will definitely be a lot of casualties, and after the casualties greet you, it is Wei Yan's 50,000 army, at that time, the general will not experience another bloody battle, the gains outweigh the losses, besides, I still have something to offer to the general."

Sima Yi took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Xiahou Yuan. Sima Yi said loudly; "If the general can defeat Wei Wenchang, occupy Luoyang with Liu Biao's temperament, he will not give up the fat in front of him, and he will definitely let Liu Pan lead the troops to counterattack Luoyang, this is Liu Pan's withdrawal route, he took the Wuguan and entered Wancheng just to avoid Wei Yan's army, and Wancheng is close to Luoyang, as long as you both lose and lose, he will inevitably send troops to attack. This letter is Liu Pan's retreat route, if the general sends ambush troops to ambush now, then he will definitely be able to win the battle. ”

Sima Yi's words touched Xiahou Yuan's heart, but the Wei Yan Corps, which was marching towards Luoyang, was unguarded.

"General, I can make a military order for Wei Yan's corps, at least block him for half a month, if not, I am willing to raise my head to see him, if it is ......" Sima Yi's face showed the color of a philistine, and a sinister smile showed the true character of a traitor.

"If I block the Wei Yan Army, please ask the general to say a few more kind words in front of Cao Gong in the future."

Xiahou Yuan's eyes lit up, and he wanted to say something to encourage Sima Yi, but this job was really not very suitable for him, so he had to laugh dryly.

When Sima Yi left Xiahou Yuan's military camp, Sima Yi sent someone to Liu Pan's retreat route to inform Liu Pan that Xiahou Yuan had learned of his retreat route and wanted to send troops to ambush him.

Sima Yi returned to Luoyang, and Wei Yan, who was "still heading towards Luoyang", drank a little wine again, and Sima Yi had only one evaluation of Xiahou Yuan and Liu Pan, that is, honest people are really easy to deceive.

In this regard, Wei Yan gave him a thumbs up, but he was secretly wary of Sima Yi in his heart, maybe he would be sold by Sima Yi one day and still count the money for him.
