Chapter 379: Guandu (8)

Sima Fang ignored Sima Sui, who was stunned on the side, he sighed in his heart, sat down, and stared at Liu Chuang with burning eyes.

After a long time, he said softly: "Meng Yan, why did you come this time?" ”

Liu Chuang knew very well in his heart that in front of Sima Fang, he couldn't fake it.

This is an old and cunning man, and he does things without leaking...... If you want to play tricks in front of him, you can only be tricked by him in the end. Therefore, instead of playing tricks with Sima Fang, it is better to get straight to the point, and it may be easier to achieve his goal.

"I came here today just to ask my uncle to help me!"

Sima Fang's heart trembled, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

He said in a deep voice: "But I don't know Meng Yan, how do you want me to help you?" ”

Liu Chuang raised his head and looked at Sima Fang, "I want to ask my uncle to help me capture the Tiger Prison Pass ......"

"Huh?"

Sima Sui was taken aback and couldn't help but let out a soft exhalation.

However, after Sima Fang glared at him, Sima Sui immediately closed his mouth, but he still felt inexplicably shocked in his heart.

"You can't even take the tiger prison, so why should I help you?"

"It's just that I can't take the tiger prison, and I really don't want to delay it for too long...... If you get the help of your uncle, you can take the Tiger Prison Pass without blood. But if there is no uncle to help, the blood will flow under the tiger prison, and I will lose my soldiers even more. Although in the time of the great war, casualties were inevitable. But whether it is the soldiers and horses of the tiger prison or the soldiers under my command, they are all my Han people. I just don't want the Han family to kill each other. ”

"Really?"

"Of course!"

Sima Fang smiled, "But when Meng Yan came like this, he put my Sima clan on the cusp of the storm, and there was no way out."

I can help you, but how can you guarantee the safety of my Sima clan? You must know that Cao Cao is still heavily garrisoned in Guanzhong, and once I help you succeed, Sima can only fight Cao Jun to the death. And if you don't know where my reinforcements are at that time? ”

Liu Chuang also smiled......

"What my uncle is worried about is not enough.

But if I tell my uncle, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong are not to worry, I don't know how my uncle will think? ”

Sima Fang's heart couldn't help but move, and there was suddenly a different meaning in his eyes, "What does Meng Yan mean by this?" ”

"Uncle doesn't need to ask, after three days, he will know."

Three days......

Could it be that my cousin meant that he could capture Guanzhong within three days?

Sima Sui couldn't help but show an expression of disbelief...... There are tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in Guanzhong, and there are generals like Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan guarding it, how can it be said that it can be occupied lightly? You must know that Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan may not be as good as Xiahoudun in terms of force, but in terms of talent, they are even better than Xiahoudun. The two of them worked together to defend Guanzhong, even if Liu Chuang's men were brave and good at fighting, it would not be so easy to capture Guanzhong.

Sima Fang was silent!

He thought for a long time and said softly: "What Meng Yan said, let's make a final conclusion after three days." ”

"In that case, let's discuss this matter in three days!"

Liu Chuang knew that Sima Fang's decision was not to shirk, but out of prudence. After all, Luoyang at this time was still under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao. Liu Chuang asked Sima Fang to help him, which was nothing more than letting him occupy Luoyang, which made the entire Heluo region in turmoil.

If Luoyang is lost, Heluo will be chaotic.

Heluo is in chaos, and the defenders of Tiger Prison will also be in trouble.

At that time, as long as Liu Chuang strengthens the offensive against the Tiger Prison, Cao Peng will definitely not be able to hold on for too long.

It's just that once Sima Fang starts up in Luoyang, he will inevitably face a siege...... In other passes, Sima Fang doesn't have to worry, after all, Liu Chuang is in the tiger prison, and Cao Jun can't draw too many people. However, Cao Jun in Guanzhong had to think about it. If the soldiers and horses in the pass are out of the pass, Luoyang will inevitably fall into a heavy siege, even if Sima prevents and controls Luoyang, he will not be able to resist it.

He can suppress Luoyang's Haoqiang in a short period of time, but once Cao's army comes to the city, I am afraid that it will be suppressed.

Sima Fang thought about it very carefully, but he didn't want Liu Chuang to think of countermeasures for him a long time ago......

Guanzhong soldiers and horses, don't worry?

Sima Fang couldn't help but be curious, he wanted to know how Liu Chuang could solve the threat from Guanzhong.

"You must not leak the matter of Meng Yan's coming, even if it is your eldest brother, you can't sue sΓΉ."

After settling Liu Chuang and Lu Yu, Sima Fang summoned Sima Kui and Sima Sui, and warned carefully, "Let's see what will happen to Guanzhong in three days." ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

To be honest, Liu Chuang came to Luoyang as a last resort.

The battle of Tiger Prison Pass became more and more tragic, and Cao Peng Xiahoudun sat in Tiger Prison with a very resolute attitude...... And Cao Cao has returned to Xudu from Baima. According to the news from the secret agents of the Yellow Pavilion in Xudu City, Cao Cao obviously planned to set up a heavy army in Guandu and fight Liu Chuang to the death. To this end, Cao Cao is constantly deploying troops and starting to make arrangements...... As for why Cao Cao chose Guandu as the battlefield, firstly, Guandu is not far away, which is convenient for the smooth grain route, and secondly, because he had defeated Yuan Shao here five years ago...... The ancients had a superstitious mentality. Perhaps in Cao Cao's view, the Guandu battlefield is his blessed land for Cao Mengde.

Five years ago, he could defeat Yuan Shao in Guandu.

Now, he was able to win again in Guandu......

If the difference between these two battles of Guandu is probably that in the battle against Yuan Shao, Cao Cao had carefully planned, but now he responded to the battle in a hurry.

The longer the time dragged on, the more perfect Cao Cao's preparations became.

The more Cao Cao prepared, the greater the pressure on Liu Chuang...... Of course, Liu Chuang didn't want Cao Cao's deployment of troops to end and then fight with him.

In other words, in this second battle of Guandu, Cao Cao could afford to drag it out, but Liu Chuang couldn't afford it.

After all, he didn't have a long time in Hebei, and his foundation was not as solid as Cao Cao's in Henan. If the war drags on for a long time, there will be chaos in Hebei. This was by no means the result that Liu Chuang wanted to see, so after thinking twice, he decided to come to Luoyang to find Sima Fang for help.

Originally, everyone did not agree with Liu Chuang's coming in person.

However, Liu Chuang thinks that with Sima Fang's cautious character, if he doesn't show enough sincerity, I'm afraid Sima Fang won't agree. After thinking about it, only by coming to see Sima Fang in person could it be possible to persuade Sima Fang to start an incident in Luoyang.

Dangerous?

Maybe there are some ...... But how many dangerous things has he experienced since he was reborn?

He has broken through a lot of Longtan Tiger's Den, and he will not be afraid of a small Luoyang. Of course, Liu Chuang didn't come to Luoyang empty-handed. Since he dared to come, he naturally had a certain degree of certainty. Sima Fang's attitude was very ambiguous, and he did not give Liu Chuang a definite answer. However, since Sima Fang is willing to wait for three days, it also shows that in Sima Fang's heart, he is already biased towards Liu Chuang.

Three days passed quietly.

Liu Chuang changed his face and lived in the back garden, except for Sima Fang and Sima Kui's brothers, even Sima Lang didn't know very well......

It's no wonder that Sima Fang wants to slow down Sima Lang.

He knows his eldest son very well.

This is a dead eye, if he knew that Liu Chuang was at home, he would not hesitate to do something to Liu Chuang.

After all, Sima Lang and Liu Chuang have no intersection, and even in Sima Lang's heart, there is no such relative as Liu Chuang.

On this day, Sima Fang was reading a book in the house.

For three days, he did not go to see Liu Chuang again, nor did he ask anyone about Liu Chuang. He just wanted to see what the situation would be like after three days when Liu Chuang said that the situation changed dramatically. However, just as he was reading the book, he saw Sima Lang rushing in in a panic.

"Father, something is wrong!"

Sima Fang's heart moved, raised his head and asked, "Boda, why are you so alarmed?" ”

Sima Lang was obviously in a hurry, running out of breath.

He took two breaths, tried to calm himself down, and then said in a deep voice: "I just got the news that the Xiliang army has conquered Yulu and is in Yi County. ”

"Huh?"

Even if Sima Fang had been mentally prepared, he was still extremely shocked when he heard Sima Lang say it.

"That Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan ......"

"The Xiliang army used a plan to attack the west in the east, Xu Shu feinted to attack Qi County head-on, but in fact, he set up an ambush at Fanxukou to lure out General Xiahou......

In the battle of Fanxukou, Ziyi was killed by Zhao Yun.

Under the county seat, Miaocai was also captured alive by the Xiliang army...... After Zixiao got the news, he quickly returned to Chang'an and ordered Cao Zhen to garrison Yixian. However, the Xiliang army attacked very fiercely, and Cao Zhen was a little unable to resist it in just three days. Now, Zixiao has set up heavy troops in Maoling and Huaili, and sent Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu to Wugong to meet Cao Zidan...... Looking at this shape, I'm afraid that Zixiao won't be able to hold on to it for too long. ”

Sima Fang listened and was silent for a long time.

He closed his eyes, as if he was pretending to sleep, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

Meng De's hard work for more than ten years is probably going to be burned.

Meng Yan is now holding on to the majesty of the great victory in the pass, and the Tiger Prison Pass will inevitably not last long...... If I don't take a stand, I'm afraid he'll be upset. Now, I'm afraid it's impossible to get left and right, and in that case, there's only one way to take a risk.

Thinking of this, Sima Fang sat up straight.

He was about to speak, but he heard footsteps outside the house.

Sima Kui and Sima Sui hurriedly ran in, both of them looked very flustered, but after entering the room, they still respectfully saluted Sima Fang.

"Father, I just heard the news that Xingyang has been lost."

"What?"

Sima Lang couldn't help but shout, looked at Sima Kui and said, "Ji Da, is this matter serious?" ”

Sima Kui said: "Seriously...... I just heard someone say outside, ...... Uncle Liu's account under the account of Fa Zheng secretly attacked Aocang, and then Zhang He set up an ambush on the way, and suddenly launched a sneak attack when Xu Gongming led his troops to Aocang to help, defeated Xu Huang, and then took the opportunity to occupy Xingyang. ”

"What about the Tiger Prison?"

"There is no news from the Tiger Prison Pass, but if Uncle Liu Huang wins Xingyang, it is equivalent to blocking the enemy in the east, and he will definitely launch an all-out onslaught on the Tiger Prison. Although Cao Youxue and General Xiahou are good at fighting, in this case, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold out for too long. ”

After speaking, Sima Kui no longer looked at Sima Lang, but turned his gaze to Sima Fang.

Sima Lang said: "No, if it goes on like this, the tiger prison will definitely be dangerous...... I'm going to send troops to the Tiger Prison to help. ”

"Boda!"

Just as Sima Lang turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly heard Sima Fang call his name, "You are sick, don't get involved in this matter anymore." ”

"Huh?"

Sima Lang turned to look at Sima Fang, revealing a puzzled look.

But Sima Fang didn't explain, and said to Sima Kui: "Ji Da, send your eldest brother back to the room to rest, no one is allowed to meet him without my order." ”

"Father!"

"Don't go to ...... yet" (To be continued.)
