As the Xuanyang Gate of Luoyang South City slowly opened in the sound of "quack", the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who bravely stormed the city gate outside the gate let out a deafening cheer after a short period of stunnedness, shook off their footsteps, and poured into Luoyang City like a tide. At this point, the soldiers of the forbidden army who resisted the frenzied attack of the Jingzhou army for four months could no longer resist the footsteps of the Jingzhou army and retreated one after another. And the initiator, Wei Qi, quietly disappeared into the vast night.

The fires are all over the sky, the smoke is everywhere, the whole Luoyang City is completely shrouded in a sense of fear, countless Jingzhou soldiers and forbidden army soldiers in the streets and alleys are roaring and fighting, there are dead corpses everywhere, blood donations everywhere, and the creepy sound of weapons inserted into the flesh makes the Luoyang civilians hiding in their own houses tremble, trembling and unable to speak, for fear that the red-eyed Jingzhou soldiers will hear the sound and break into the house to kill......

The battle lasted all night...... Until a round of rising sun gradually rose in the eastern sky, the light tore through the sky and swayed on the smoke-filled city walls of Luoyang City, which did not bring the slightest warmth to Luoyang City, but added a cold breath to Luoyang City.

At the Xizhi Gate, a cavalry of the Jingzhou Army composed of thousands of people slowly passed through the city, this cavalry is different from other Jingzhou troops with mottled armor, unkempt, everyone is brightly clothed and energetic, and more than ten generals led by the colonel surrounded an elegant man wearing a dragon python robe at the front, like the stars holding the moon. The elegant man was seven points similar to Sima Ting, but there were a few obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. It's Sima Fan!

Not far away, Zhao Desheng, a general of the Jingzhou Army, carried a long-handled machete full of bloodstains, led dozens of elite cavalry to come on horseback, and when he got closer, he smoothly turned over and dismounted, threw the machete in his hand to the ground, and said loudly to Sima Fan: "King Xiangyang!" The Forbidden Army has surrendered to our army! Now all of them are being detained in the camp of the Central Guard Right Army to the east of Sima Gate. Zhao Wanglun, Hong Ren, Guo Xiang and other people from the Qing Xuan Sect have all disappeared! ”

After a pause, Zhao Desheng swallowed his saliva, looked up at Sima Fan, and said with a smile: "Also, Lord Wang." The palace suddenly burst into flames yesterday, and the entire middle palace was turned into a sea of fire, until our army broke into the palace, the fire could be stopped, but the middle palace has been burned into ashes! ”

Sima Fan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he said leisurely: "The fire in the Middle Palace? What about the emperor? Is the emperor okay? ”

Zhao Desheng said with a smile: "Go back to the prince." According to the eunuchs in the palace, when the fire broke out, the emperor was sleeping in the middle palace, and I am afraid it was ......"

Sima Fan's eyes flashed, and he let out a sigh for a long time and said, "Alas, in this way, the emperor is only afraid that he will die for a lifetime......"

Sima Fan shook his head and stepped forward, and when he passed by Zhao Desheng, he suddenly reined in his war horse again, and said slowly: "I heard that after the army entered the city last night, Zhao Wanglun killed several princes in Luoyang City before escaping?" ”

Zhao Desheng looked at Sima Fan with a puzzled face when he heard this, and said puzzledly: "Lord, there is no ...... in the mansion of several princes."

When Zhao Desheng said this, he looked at Sima Fan with a sad face, suddenly understood something, and was so busy that he changed his words: "Yes, Lord Wang!" Several princes are all dead in the house, and the prince's day mourns ......"

Sima Fan nodded in satisfaction and swept over with thousands of troops. Zhao Desheng stood aside, and after all Sima Fan's troops had passed, he beckoned to a subordinate, and said in a deep voice with a gloomy face: "Pass down the order." Mobilize 2,000 people and horses, and invite the whole palace of several princes to heaven along the copper camel street! Chickens and dogs don't stay! ”

Outside Hangu Pass, several riders in civilian clothes rode westward, kicking up large clouds of dust behind their horses. Looking at their vigorous posture on the horse, they are especially masters of riding skills. Several horsemen rode into the narrow Hangu Road of Hangu Pass, but there was no sign of slowing down, and they still swept in at a galloping speed.

Sima Ting and Sima Yi were standing on the Hangu Pass talking and laughing, and when they saw the number of horsemen who rushed to the pass, they glanced at each other, and their faces were full of joy.

Sima Yi Huo Ran turned around and shouted excitedly towards Guan Nei: "Someone! Give me the switch! Fast! Switch! ”

Sima Ting held the wall with his hand, watched several horses pass through the slowly opening gate without stopping, patted the wall, turned around and strode towards the gate with Sima Yi.

At this time, these few people will run back from the direction of Luoyang in this manner, don't think that it must be the result of the battle in Luoyang City!

Sima Ting and Sima Yi came down to the city side by side, and several riders had already turned over from their horses, galloped to Sima Ting's body and knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice for the first one: "Report!" Lord Chu! Battle situation in Luoyang City: Luoyang City was lost the day and night before, and the Jingzhou army has entered Luoyang City! The forbidden army surrendered after being defeated to the death! That night, there was a fire in the middle palace of the imperial city, and the emperor's life and death were unknown! Zhao Wanglun, Hong Ren, Guo Xiang, Wei Qi and other cadres are all missing! ”

Sima Yi was furious and said: "The fire in the middle palace of the imperial city? The emperor's life and death are unknown! How could the palace be on fire! How could the emperor's life and death be unknown! What's going on with Shadow Blade! How can it be that even the emperor is alive or dead is not sure! ”

Several riders kneeling on the ground were scolded by Sima Yi and lowered their heads deeply, but they didn't know how to answer. Sima Ting frowned, stretched out his hand to stop the angry Sima Yi, and said, "Third brother." Don't blame them anymore. I can't understand the ability of Ying Feng clearly, but I'm afraid that this matter is really a bit tricky. ”

Sima Yi angrily waved his hand vigorously at several riders, who were so busy that they leaned over and saluted, got up and retreated. Sima Ting looked at Sima Ting and took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Old Seven." The emperor's fate is unknown. So should we send troops or not? ”

Sima Ting didn't have an interface, but instead called two personal soldiers and ordered: "Please General Zhou and the master of the Inspectorate come over." After the soldiers surrendered their hands and hurriedly ran away, Sima Ting signaled to Sima Yi, and the two of them walked together towards the residence of the main general in the Guannei. Sima Ting said as he walked: "Third brother." Now that the eldest brother has entered Luoyang City, we are afraid that we will have to send troops! ”

As soon as the two of them entered the room on the front foot, Zhou Shi and the governor arrived on the back foot. The two of them also understood the situation on the way over, and as soon as they entered the door, they said loudly: "Lord Chu!" The Jingzhou army has entered Luoyang City, I don't know if the prince of Chu wants to send troops? ”

Sima Ting sat down slowly on the throne, and did not answer Zhou, but asked rhetorically: "I don't know what General Zhou thinks?" ”

The big sword everywhere sat down in the seat on Sima Ting's right, his eyes were full of light and murderous spirit, and he said in a deep voice: "As the old man can see, our army should immediately pull out of the pass and go straight to Luoyang!" The Jingzhou army and the forbidden army fought hard for four months, and it was not until the day before yesterday that we forced Wei Qi to open the door for them to enter, and the division of the long-term war was already exhausted! Moreover, although the forbidden army has surrendered, the two sides have been fighting for four months, and each side has suffered heavy casualties and deep hatred. It is impossible for the forbidden army to be used by the king of Xiangyang in a short period of time, but the king of Xiangyang has to use a large number of soldiers to guard the forbidden army. As for our army, it is resting for a few months, and the military is in full swing, and at this time, it will be a big victory if it drives straight into Luoyang and storms Luoyang! ”

Sima Yi said in a loud voice: "However, I don't know if the emperor is alive or dead!" If so......"

Zhou Shi stretched out his hand to stop Sima Yi from continuing, with a meaningful smile on his face, and said: "Prince Yi, when our army arrives in Luoyang City, it will take four days and four nights, to say the least. During this time, it was enough for the King of Xiangyang to stir up the world in Luoyang City. The old man is sure that in the past two days, those princes in Luoyang City are afraid that they have been killed by the king of Xiangyang. If the king of Xiangyang wants to be on the ninth five-year list, he will definitely insist that the emperor is dead! In this way, whether the emperor is really dead, or whether he is held hostage by Zhao Wanglun out of Beijing, it can be regarded as dead! When we enter Luoyang City, hehe, naturally we can read it out according to the book, and we can even send a funeral for the emperor and bury Xiling! ”

Sima Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Zhou, and said, "General Zhou is really cunning!" Ahahahaha! ”

Zhou Chu smiled and shook his head when he heard this, old and cunning? Why does this sound so awkward!

Sima Ting pondered for a moment, Huo Ran got up and said, "Okay!" Case! General Zhou! Order the whole army to be ready to go! Tomorrow morning, the fourth watch will have breakfast, and the fifth watch will be opened and pulled out! ”

After a pause, Sima Ting turned to the Governor and said, "Also, please lead all the elders of the Holy Gate to set off early tomorrow morning, sneak into Luoyang City and round up with Wei Qi and Elder Tao." When the army attacked the city, the city gate was opened from inside the city to meet the army into the city! ”

Sima Yi shouted excitedly when he heard it, such a transformation realm master led a group of innate masters to attack the city gate? Oh, my God! Then you still need to fight?! Sima Yi seemed to have seen the scene of the Chu army breaking into Luoyang City......

But then, Sima Ting's body trembled, and the excited look on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by a blank face: After the army broke the city, what should the king of Xiangyang do? ……

Zhou Chu and Du Jue both got up and walked out of the house, Sima Ting turned his head and saw the same look on Sima Yi's face, and suddenly understood what Sima Yi was thinking. Don't talk about the third brother, how can you be ready to face the eldest brother?! Sima Ting stepped forward and hugged Sima Yi's shoulder, and sighed softly, "Third brother." How about you say that when the time comes, we will attack the three walls of the north, west, and east, and leave the south wall empty? ”

Sima Yi turned his head and glanced at Sima Ting, with a knowing smile on his face, knowing that Sima Ting wanted to let go of the eldest brother. The backhand also hugged Sima Ting's shoulder, and chuckled: "Okay! The elite division of the Jingzhou Army should not be forced too quickly, and the lack of one of the three can break their fighting spirit. When they flee through the south gate, we will send cavalry in pursuit!" ”

The two brothers laughed at the same time, but the laughter was clearly filled with indescribable bitterness......
