"The generals will obey!"

Feng Zhou shouted.

Under the tent, the ministers and generals bowed their hands in unison: "The ministers are ordered!"

"General Wei Zhao Yun, you led 15,000 guards to Yiyang south and capture Yiyun. Completely close the south gate of Luoyang!" Feng Zhou looked at Zhao Yun.

"Order!" Zhao Yun promised in a deep voice, reaching out to take the token.

"General Wu Ban, you lead 15,000 Zhonghu infantry troops, bypass Luoyang, capture Chenggao, cut off the Luoyang grain route, and then continue south to capture Yuyuan Pass. ”

"Ordered!" Wu Ban snorted and took the token.

"Zhendong General Huang Quan, you led 10,000 Xichuan troops and 5,000 sailors to bypass Beibi Mountain, occupy Pingxian and Mengjin, and isolate the north and south of the river. ”

"Order!" Huang Quan nodded heavily and stretched out his hand to receive the order.

"Chen Dao, Wang Ping, Jiang Wei, Wu Tong, Zhang Wen, you and others live in Beibi Mountain with me, coercing and suppressing Luoyang City, I want to see which one is stronger between Luoyang City and Chang'an City!"

"The ministers are ordered!"

Chen Dao, Wang Ping, Jiang Wei, Wu Tong, and Zhang Wen bowed together.

"In addition, inform Wei Yan, the general of Zhenbei, that after he clears out Gucheng, he will lead 10,000 Wei soldiers to be under my command, and I will gather the main force of our army and break Luoyang City!"

"Your Ministers obey!"

......

Luoyang is located in the middle of the world, has a unique advantage, the geographical location is very exquisite, with the mountains and rivers, the situation is extremely dangerous. As the "Historical Records of the Liuhou Family" said: "Luoyang has Chenggao in the east, Yanhuang in the west, Beihe River, and Yiluo in the south. ”

Luoyang is surrounded by mountains, Kunshan chokes its west, Xiong'er, Waifangshan Town its south, Songshan, Keishan control its east, only the north is slightly open, and there is the Yellow River crossing, and along the Yellow River, there is Bishan as its barrier. In addition, in its northwest, across the Yellow River, there is also the majestic Zhongtiao Mountain.

Surrounded by these mountains and rivers, there is a plain formed by the impact of the Yi River and the Luo River. The Luo River flows out between the Kun Mountain and the Bear's Ear Mountain, and the Yi River flows out between the Bear's Ear Mountain and the Waifang Mountain. To the south of the Yellow River and surrounded by mountains, the Yiluo River and the Yiluo River burst out of a large area of fertile soil, which is called the Yiluo Basin (or Yiluo Plain).

The Luoyang area is surrounded by lofty mountains and the Yellow River, forming a trend of mountains and rivers. Zhongtiao Mountain, Kunshan Mountain, Bear's Ear Mountain, and Waifang Mountain are surrounded on three sides, forming a Taishi chair-like shape, which surrounds the Luoyang Basin, and Luoyang is backed by Chongshan Mountain and faces the boundless North China Plain to the east. - However, just to the east, Songshan, Keishan, and Guci Mountains stood in front of them like screens, blocking the connection between Luoyang and the eastern Henan Plain, leaving only some narrow valleys for traffic.

Therefore, in order to conquer Luoyang and prevent the enemy from escaping, or to rescue the enemy reinforcements next door, it is necessary to block all the exits of Luoyang and completely isolate China and foreign countries, so that we can break through Luoyang in one go. Otherwise, once occupied by enemy reinforcements, the attacker will soon become a turtle in an urn.

For example, thirty-six years ago, the Shandong princes led by Yuan Shao crusaded against Dong Zhuo, but they all failed to advance, and Cao Cao advanced alone, but was defeated by Xu Rong in Xingyang. Afterwards, Cao Cao blamed the generals in Sour Zao, and said the ideal deployment in his heart: "Let Bohai lead the people of Hanoi to Mengjin, and the generals of Sour Zao will defend Chenggao, according to Aocang, and Sai Yuyuan, and control all their dangers; ”

According to Cao Cao's deployment, it was to let Yuan Shao capture Mengjin, and the generals of Sour Zao occupied Chenggao (Tiger Prison Pass) and Yuyuan Pass, while Cao Cao did not specify Yique and Guangcheng Pass, which had been occupied by Sun Jian at that time, so that the support points in the north, east and south of Luoyang were all captured, leaving only Hangu Pass because it was in the west, and the generals could not reach it, but there was Yuan Shu Chen Bingdan and analysis, and captured Wuguan to form a deterrent to Guanzhong. In this way, all the strategic fulcrums on all sides of Luoyang have been captured, and Luoyang has become an isolated city, which is difficult to protect, and there is no need to fight at all, and the victory or defeat has been decided. It's a pity that the generals are busy and don't want to forge ahead, so they can't use this strategy.

And the strategy of sealing the boat is the same, he sent Zhao Yun to occupy Yiyun, Wu Ban's Zhonghu infantry army occupied Chenggao (Tiger Prison Pass) and Yuyuan Pass, Huang Quan isolated the big river, and the Han army from west to east has occupied the west of Luoyang, the army marched eastward, and settled in Beibi Mountain, so that Luoyang could be completely surrounded.

The Han army camp set aside to go on the expedition, but it was not as good as the Wei army returning to Luoyang, the Wei country is located in the Central Plains, the population is large, and the family is strong, so Sima Yi in order to escape for his life, all the grain and grass are all abandoned, and the night will go east fifty miles, and when the Han army demolishes the Wei army camp, they have entered Luoyang City.

With such a generous behavior of losers, the Han army did not dare to compare with them.

Therefore, it was directly rectified for three days, Feng Zhou led the Han army through the valley city, along the valley water into Luoyang, the Han army set off in turn in three ways, took the water and land two mighty and mighty kills to the north, all the way, the flag covers the field, the halberd is like a forest, the surface ship is like a weave, the sail flag is like a cloud, and the momentum is unparalleled.

......

Luoyang Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty!" Sima Yi knelt in front of the palace and burst into tears: "The Han army is powerful, and the minister is determined to live and die with Luoyang, but the Great Wei rivers and mountains, wide and the four seas, all over Hebei and Henan, Qing Xu Yanyu, Luoyang is heavy, how can it be bigger than the four seas, so the minister asked His Majesty to hunt Yecheng in the north, and the minister commanded the army and people of Luoyang to resist Shu Han." ”

"General, do you want me to leave Luoyang at this time and flee to Yecheng, Hebei?" Cao Rui's tone was flat, but his face showed a hint of grandeur: "The Great Wei Jiangshan is the result of Emperor Taizuwu and Emperor Taizongwen overcoming obstacles and fighting for thirty years to get to where we are today, on the occasion of this national war, do you want me to leave Luoyang and flee north in a hurry? Tell you, Sima Yi, I will not leave! I will also live and die with Luoyang!"

"Your Majesty, please hunt Ye City in the north!"

Zhong Xuan, Hua Xin, Chen Qun and others hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed together, and begged the emperor to hunt north.

Just kidding, as a big family, survival is the first element, everyone is a civil official, there is no help in Luoyang City, if you don't run away while the Han army is not yet encircled, when will you wait?

And if you want to run away, of course, you have to take the emperor with you, so that the influence of public opinion is on the emperor, and these important ministers will have less trouble.

Besides, Cao Rui is the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, and he went to Yecheng, Hebei, and can quickly form a new imperial court, as long as he develops seriously, he still has a chance to become a Guangwu situation.

Although the Yiluo Basin is also regarded as the mountains and rivers on the surface, Luoyang City, as the capital, is also an important city in the world, the reserves of grain and grass in the city, the weapons of the reserves, the strength of the city wall, the arrangement of trebuchets, eight crossbows enough, relying on the strong city, maybe able to resist the siege of the Han army, hold on for three years.

However, if the emperor of a country is besieged in the capital, other areas will be affected to some extent, especially the border area, I am afraid that even if the siege of Luoyang is solved in the future, the border area will no longer be owned by the state.

Therefore, it is an excellent arrangement for the important ministers to guard Luoyang and the emperor to hunt Ye City in the north.

Otherwise, once Luoyang is trapped, internal and external news is cut off, and King Yongqiu and King Rencheng are bewitched by people and get up to order the world, won't Great Wei immediately fall apart?

Not only Zhong Xuan, Hua Xin, and Chen Qun said this, but even ordinary civil and military officials knelt down and kowtowed, asking the emperor to hunt north and lead them to make a comeback.

Seeing the words of so many Wenchen military generals and their voices like a river, analyzing the various benefits of the emperor's northern hunting Yecheng from all angles, Cao Rui sighed softly.

He can see through these ministers,

In times of peace, one by one, the important ministers of the country regarded the common people as the foundation.

At the moment of war and crisis, they thought about escaping and surviving.

No wonder after the Battle of Guandu that year, Emperor Taizuwu burned Yuan Shao's books and letters, it turned out that he saw through people's hearts!

"In that case, then I will hunt Ye City in the north. Cao Rui said lightly, but it seemed to be a thorn in his heart, stinging all his pride.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" the generals of Great Wei knelt down and kowtowed together, shouting long live.
