At the beginning of spring and February, except for Yongliang in Guanzhong, the overall situation of the world was basically set.

So, a contest revolved around Chang'an, accompanied by Liu Xie's Luoyang banquet, and unfolded mightily

At this time, Liu Bei had already arranged Hanzhong properly, and moved the civil and military forces and the army to Chang'an. This was originally what Guan Yu wanted to do before Liu Bei's arrival, but it was a pity that Guan Yu had few soldiers and little food, and it was the first time to get Chang'an City, and all the forces were involved, so he had no time to attack the two important places, so he delayed until Liu Bei's arrival at this time.

however

……

Xiangyang, in Liu Xiu's house.

"How are the soldiers and horses of all parties ready?!" Liu Revision approved the official document and asked the house Chinese Wu without raising his head.

"Lord Qiqi, several soldiers and horses are ready!" The reply was Li Yuanfang, the new leader of the Jinyi Guard, a sword, defeated many rangers, fought several generals on foot, and finally won the position of the leader, mainly taking over the information of the officials under Liu Xiu's command and Liu Xiu's usual safety and other matters, counting, but Liu Xiu's daily life guard,

"General Huang Zhong and Major General Liu Pan have taken 10,000 soldiers and horses along Fangling to attack Shangyong!"

"General Li Sheng also set off with 10,000 soldiers and horses, pointing directly at Wuguan!"

"As for Shuzhong, Yu Lao has already prepared everything! As soon as the time comes, you can fully besiege Hanzhong and approach Chang'an! ”

"Timing...?!" Hearing this, Liu Xiu stopped the pen in his hand, looked up at the group of civil and military officers in the room, and asked slowly: "What do you think, when is the right time?" ”

"Auxiliary, what do you think?!"

In the past two months, the eldest grandson Wuji has not been Liu Xiu to deal with many forces in Xiangyang City, so that everyone gradually feels that Liu Xiu will also follow his father Liu Biao and rely on the strength of many clans. There is even more intention to use many clan members, so that more and more skeptical clans are also slowly transferring the core strength of the family to Nanyang

"Lord, from Wuji's point of view, the [Luoyang Banquet] is the best time!" Although the head of the eldest grandson Wuji is more suitable for power schemes, it does not mean that he will be poor in military strategy.

What's more, Liu Xiu is beating the idea of the eldest grandson's sister, so naturally he has to use the eldest grandson's family more.

"Your Majesty has the ability to escape Cao Cao's shackles, and at this time, his [Luoyang Banquet] will definitely attract the attention of the princes of the world, isn't this just a cover for the lord's action?!"

"What's more. With the ability of the strategists around His Majesty at this time, the [Luoyang Banquet] must be set up for His Majesty's benefit, and at this time, the most beneficial thing for His Majesty is nothing more than the word [time],"

"Therefore, presumably in this feast, the person next to Your Majesty will balance the forces of all parties in the name of righteousness and gain time for Your Majesty to develop!"

"If that's the case. At that time, it will definitely affect the whole body, and whoever uses the army first will inevitably be condemned by the righteousness and attacked by the masses! ”

"And so it goes. The lord can no longer easily move his troops and expand wantonly, which is not conducive to the lord's plan..."

The eldest grandson Wuji's statement made Liu Xiu's eyes light up. In his opinion, after the spring snow stops, it is the best time, after all, the military is fast. Hurry up and take these dangerous places in your hands, and the initiative will naturally be in your own hands, and whether you fight or not, you will have the final say

"What do you think?!" Liu Xiu pondered, looked around at everyone, and continued to ask.

"The words of the auxiliary machine brothers are indeed reasonable!" Fang Xuanling, Zhao Pu, Liu Bowen and several others nodded in agreement, "In addition, the lord of last year expanded rapidly, and many of them in Shuzhong and Jingbei also had to be digested in a year or two. ”

"That's true, after this time, it's time to take a break...!"

Liu Xiu kept thinking about it, "After seizing these major levels this time, I will take a break, and wait for Benhou to further consolidate the foundation, solve the troubles of the family in Nanyang, and then expand!" ”

"The lord is wise, as it should be!" Liu Bowen shook the feather fan and swore an oath: "As long as the lord obtains the Wuguan this time, he can send troops to Chang'an at any time in the future; In addition, once Yu Lao wins Hanzhong, Xiliang will not be a problem! …”

"Accumulate high, and you can get the momentum of thunder in the future!"

……

When Liu Xiu was plotting to seize Wuguan and Shangyong and consolidate the surrounding areas, Xu Shu had also been ordered by the Holy Order, passing through Hangu Pass and sending troops to Tongguan!

Tongguan, is Cao Cao to resist the northwest rebellion, according to the danger to build, now only a few years, but, after all, it is Cao Cao's carefully selected place, but also spent a huge amount of money to build, from Chang'an is only two days away

Xu Shu looked at the Xiongguan in front of him, and said with heartfelt emotion: "Cao Cao deserves to be a hero, he has such courage and such eyesight, and it is rare to know how to establish this pass here...!" ”

"Someone, can you find out the situation in Tongguan?!" Xu Shu asked the scout.

"Governor, I have found out! There are only 2,000 Cao soldiers in the pass, but there are no generals! ”

"However, according to reports, Chang'an Liu Bei has led tens of thousands of troops, along with Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and other civil and military generals, and the goal is directly aimed at Tongguan!"

"However, Liu Bei is in the name of participating in His Majesty's [Luoyang Banquet]! …”

"Participate in the [Luoyang Banquet] with so many soldiers and horses?! Hehehe..."Xu Shu's hair bun was full of dust, although he had practiced martial arts when he was young, but the days of marching still made him tired, "Kong Ming is also here... Just right! That's nice! …”

"Liu Bei also sent a team of soldiers and horses to Wuguan?!" Xu Shu seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked.

"Exactly! And it is reported that Liu Xiu also sent a strange general with 10,000 soldiers and horses to Wuguan! …”

"Good! … Good...! ”

……

At the same time, the [Luoyang Banquet] has finally begun to kick off, and its momentum is as great as any war!

It is only because in today's Han world, in addition to other races, the only remaining princes are Liu Xiu, Cao Cao, Sun, and the three families in the northwest - Liu Bei, Ma Teng, and Han Sui. Among them, the strongest is Liu Xiu, and the most prosperous is Cao Cao, but Liu Xie can break away from Cao Cao's hinterland, and the ability and greasy in it, no matter how stupid people are, they will be curious and want to find out!

What's more, Liu Xie, as His Majesty, is the real orthodoxy of the Han family, and since decades ago, the Han royal family has never been as strong as Liu Xie at this time, and he personally controls the military and politics, how can this not make the world pay attention

Moreover, such a banquet can often see a lot of ideas from various forces, how can they miss it...

In addition to Liu Bei going in person, Ma Teng, who was in the Han family, also took several sons and went in person; As for Han Sui, Cao Cao, Sun, Liu Xiu, etc., they each sent their cronies to Luoyang.

So, a banquet with a huge momentum and meaning behind it, but not many people actually participated, began like this... (To be continued.) )
