In Luoyang City, Liu Wei got the news that Liu Bei led the army to attack, and ordered Xiahoudun to be the main general, leading Yu Ban, Le Jin, Li Dian, Xiahou Yuan and others, and under the coordination of Sima Yi, he led 30,000 soldiers and horses to meet the attack.

Liu Bei, who led 20,000 Jingzhou troops, bypassed the Han army defense area all the way and rushed straight into the territory of Yin, Henan, did not dare to stay for a moment, blindly urging the Jingzhou soldiers to speed up.

Although the Han army is now scattered in various places, the number of soldiers and horses left behind in Luoyang is also quite large.

The reason why he dared to lead the army to attack, Liu Bei also made a detailed analysis.

Although the Han army has a large number of people, it can lead the army to fight, but Gan Ning is only one person, and most of the other Han army fierce generals are sent to Nanban or Liaodong to fight against foreign races.

Liu Bei also knew that the Han army had captured a number of fierce generals under Cao Cao's command earlier.

But he had a thought, thinking that most of the fierce generals under Cao Cao's command were from the Cao clan, and they were loyal to Cao Cao, so they should not assist the Han army and fight with the Jingzhou army.

Leading the army, moving forward, Liu Bei saw a fast horse appear in front of him.

The fast horse that appeared in his field of vision, raising its hooves high, galloped towards him.

There was still a short distance, but Liu Bei could see that on horseback was a scout of the Jingzhou army he had sent earlier.

Riding a horse and galloping, when Liu Bei approached, the Jingzhou army scout turned over and jumped off the war horse, hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Bei and said: "Uncle Qiqi, Liu Wei sent Xiahoudun to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, and they are facing our army to kill!" ”

Liu argued that the emperor, many small princes in the world expressed their willingness to submit to the Han Dynasty, and Liu Biao also had the intention to argue to Liu as a minister, but Liu Bei tried his best to dissuade him, saying that Liu Biao was the abolition of the emperor, plundered the emperor Liu Xie to Luoyang, secretly killed him, and forcibly seized the throne, which is not the orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty!

Liu Bei's statements were originally not approved by Liu Biao, but when he said that Liu Wei fought in the south and the north, and took away the military power in the hands of many princes, Liu Biao was a little panicked in his heart.

Liu Biao, who has been a relative of the Han family for many years, inherited this place from his father, and regarded it as his own private property.

It's okay to submit to the Han Dynasty, and it's okay to argue to Liu that the ministers are also okay, but what Liu Biao can't accept is that Jingzhou was taken back by the Han Dynasty and no longer belongs to his clan surnamed Liu.

Thinking of Liu Wei's southern and northern wars over the years, first leveling Gongsun Zhan, and then getting Hebei from Yuan Shao, and finally even Cao Cao was defeated by him, Liu Biao felt a little panicked in his heart.

The Jingzhou Army, although its combat power is good, is half a cut worse than the Cao Army.

The strong Cao army, Liu Wei can break through and finally conquer, just Jingzhou, and can stop the pace of the Han army's southern expedition?

It was in this situation that Liu Bei seized the opportunity and persuaded Liu Biao to take advantage of the main force of the Han army to fight outside, send troops to Luoyang, and become the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

In addition to Liu Bei, the Jingzhou officials who were good friends with Liu Bei were also secretly instigated and tried their best to promote the achievement of this matter.

The only ones who oppose it are Cai Mao, Zhang Xun and others, who have always had a unfriendly attitude towards Liu Bei.

After several years of operation, Liu Bei has already secretly cultivated a lot of power in Jingzhou, although Cai Mao is Liu Biao's wife's uncle, but his words are not completely believed by Liu Biao.

Successfully instigated Liu Biao to send troops, Liu Bei thought that Liu Biao would send other generals to the expedition, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Biao would name him to lead the Northern Expedition.

led 20,000 Jingzhou troops all the way north, but Liu Bei was very worried in his heart.

Fighting with the Han army is different from crusading against others.

The Han army was not only numerous, but also well-equipped, and the soldiers had been well trained in battle formations, with the same number of people, if there were good generals to lead, Liu Bei had no chance of defeat.

Knowing from the scout that Xiahoudun led 30,000 soldiers and horses to meet the battle, Liu Bei was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Can you find out clearly?" Who else is there besides Xiahoudun? ”

Standing in front of his war horse with his fists clenched and bowing, the scout said: "Uncle Hui, I have already found out that the enemy's leading general is Xiahoudun. He commanded fierce generals, including Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Xiahou Yuan and others! There is another person, not a deputy general, but the head of the army! ”

"The master of the army?" Knowing that the generals of the Han army were all fierce generals under Cao Cao in the past, and that Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan were from the Cao Cao clan, Liu Bei frowned tightly and asked the scout: "Who is the master of the army?" ”

"This person's name is Sima Yi!" Liu Bei asked about the master of the army, and the scout responded: "For this person, we haven't investigated it in detail!" ”

"That's it!" Waving his hand at the scout, Liu Bei muttered as if to himself: "It's just the master book, there is no need to care so much!" ”

"Wait!" As soon as the scout was about to leave, a voice came from behind Liu Bei.

Hearing this voice, the scout really didn't move, and Liu Bei looked back.

What he saw was Zhuge Liang, who was wearing a snow-white robe, a scarf on his head, and a feather fan in his hand.

Zhuge Liang rode a war horse with red hair, slowly came to Liu Bei's side, looked at the scout and said, "Go and investigate, see who this master is!" ”

"No!" Liu Bei did not express any objection to what Zhuge Liang said, and the scout glanced up at him, and saw that he was just looking at Zhuge Liang, so he answered and turned to leave.

"Sir, the march is fighting, and the master is the master, so why bother?" After the scout left, Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang: "The one I want to deal with is that Xiahou Dun!" ”

"What does Uncle Huang think of Xiahoudun?" Gently shaking the feather fan, Zhuge Liang asked Liu Bei unhurriedly.

Stunned by his question, Liu Bei hesitated for a moment before replying: "Xiahou is the fierce general of the world!" ”

"The fierce general of the world!" Smiling slightly, Zhuge Liang said: "Uncle Huang thinks that this fierce general will lead the army to fight?" What about strategizing? ”

Looking at Zhuge Liang with a suspicious face, Liu Bei thought for a while before saying: "Xiahoudun is brave and powerful, but he is an enemy of ten thousand people!" It's just a strategy, I'm afraid it's weaker......"

"That's it!" Turning his head to look ahead, Zhuge Liang said thoughtfully: "Liu Wei has always been good at winning more with less, and he is brave and brave, but he is just charging into battle. What he cares more about is the ability to strategize. Our army is running from afar, and it is not without a threat to Luoyang, with Liu Wei's previous calculations, how could he only send a fierce general to lead the army and come to intercept our army? ”

Stunned by Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, and then said with some hesitation: "Although Xiahoudun is said to be ordinary, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Ban and others who accompanied him on the expedition are all wise and brave, and the enemy army is not without wisdom!" ”

"Wisdom and bravery?" Liu Bei's words were not agreed by Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang smiled noncommittally and said coldly: "If it were just these few people, our army would be able to annihilate all the enemy troops on this expedition." Even if their wisdom is really extraordinary, as a lieutenant general, how can they control the main general? ”

Staring at Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's face became more and more ugly.

He vaguely felt that the lineup of the Han army this time was not as simple as he had expected earlier.

This Han army led by Xiahoudun may be the one who really speaks and calls the shots, and it may be the little-known master Sima Yi!

In the past, when Sima Yi was under Cao Cao's command, he had never been reused, and Liu Bei did not know such figures.

Among the enemy army, a completely unknown figure has appeared, and for Liu Bei, it is undoubtedly the most worthy of his worries!

didn't go on, Zhuge Liang just shook the feather fan lightly while smiling, and said to him calmly: "Uncle Huang doesn't need to worry, and find out who the enemy master is, and then make a calculation!" ”

"That's all it takes!" A little more worried in his heart, Liu Bei couldn't find a better solution, so he had to nod his head in response, gently clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and rode the horse forward.

When Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were talking, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were following Liu Bei, were all disdainful.

This person has served Liu Bei, and he has not made any achievements so far.

Without martial arts, he will only use some kung fu all day long, and in the hearts of fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang is no different from the warlocks who deceive the good.

The two of them already had the idea that Zhuge Liang would just show off his kung fu in their hearts, and they would not have any respect for him, let alone make an obedient appearance like Liu Bei.

Guan Yu was disdainful in his heart, but his face was rarely revealed, Zhang Fei was very different from him, when he looked at Zhuge Liang, a pair of eyes were round, and his expression was as if he wanted to swallow Zhuge Liang alive into his belly.

Knowing that the two of them looked at him with unkind eyes, Zhuge Liang didn't care about them, and accompanied Liu Bei on the march, his expression was still indifferent.

Liu Bei led the army to march quickly towards Luoyang, and a large army was also opened in Luoyang City.

This army marched in the same direction as the Jingzhou army that entered the Central Plains, and the road they chose was the route to Bowangpo.

Walking at the front of the army, Xiahoudun carried a halberd, and while riding his horse forward, he asked Sima Yi, who was walking beside him: "Zhongda, if Liu Bei does not fight a decisive battle with our army at Bowangpo, what should we do?" Wouldn't it be to watch them bypass us and take Luoyang directly? ”

"General Xiahou is too worried!" Smiling slightly, Sima Yi said: "Liu Bei's troops are only 20,000 people. In Luoyang City, there is General Gan Ning in charge, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there are many fierce generals of Cao Gong's former subordinates, Liu Bei went to Luoyang City, but he just killed himself! What he wants is just to fight with our army, it is best to defeat our army, and to have a feud with Liu Biao, and wait until His Majesty thunders and rages and waves the army south, and he can unite with the Jiangdong Sun clan to fight against His Majesty, and then not only will he seize Jingzhou, but also have a place to stand in the middle of the world! ”
