It is now more than the autumn moon, a few days ago it was still a scorching sun, a scene of baking China, and on this day, a slightly cool northwest wind gradually hung in the air. On the willow trees on both sides of the official road in the west of Luoyang City, most of the original green leaves have turned yellow, and with a gust of north wind blowing through the branches, the yellow leaves reluctantly leave the embrace of the trees, fluttering and flying into the sky, and then slowly fall on the pipe.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from afar. After a while, countless soldiers of the Chu army with resolute faces and wearing black armor galloped over, like a black torrent. The horse's hooves with the mouth of the bowl stepped on the yellow leaves that covered the ground, stirring the yellow leaves to fly. Ancient road, yellow leaves, black armor, war horses...... Everything reveals an air of slaughter, indicating the unrest of this autumn.

The banners in the sky were tumbling in the wind, and the huge banners in the front were full of murderous aura. The soldiers of the Chu army had resolute faces, controlling the war horses under their seats to roll forward, and no one made a sound. On the victory hook hung a blade with a cold light, revealing a chill......

The cavalry of the Chu army roared and rushed straight to Luoyang City half a mile away before gradually stopping, and the follow-up cavalry scattered from both sides of the Chu banner in an orderly manner and set up a mighty battle formation. Under the banner of Chu characters, Sima Ting, who was dressed in black generals, accompanied by Sima Yi and Zhou, who were also wearing black generals, rode out of the formation. Sima Ting patted the restless sweaty horse under him, looking at the majestic and magnificent Luoyang City Wall in the distance, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light.

A rush of horns had already sounded on the city wall of Luoyang, and a large number of Jingzhou soldiers who were also wearing black armor poured into the city in an orderly manner, looking at the Chu army outside the city who was wearing almost exactly the same armor as themselves, many people had complicated expressions.

When Chu Wangwei entered Beijing, he was the most heroic people from various military departments in Jingzhou Chudi, and many of them served as generals and colonels in the original Jingzhou army. And when Zhou entered the customs to quell the rebellion, he once again transferred the leaders of various armies. In this way, in addition to the newly recruited soldiers in recent years, those veterans are more or less familiar people in Sima Ting's camp. Now that the two armies are facing each other, there is naturally a trace of kinship in my heart.

On the upper floor of Xizhimen City, Sima Fan was wearing a purple and red python robe, and slowly appeared accompanied by Zhao Desheng and other generals. Although Sima Fan already regarded himself as the emperor in the Taiji Palace, he still claimed to be the king of Xiangyang outside. He understands that the only way to truly ascend to the throne is to defeat the army in front of him!

Sima Fan looked expressionlessly at the cavalry of the Chu army outside the city, the big banner of Chu characters was faintly visible, and he didn't feel like his father and queen mother, who had been dead for many years, and his heart ached, and gradually diffused a sad taste. But at this moment, Sima Fan suddenly remembered how his father and queen mother were partial to the seventh child, and how after snubbing his eldest son, there was only a raging jealousy left in his chest!

Sima Fan snorted coldly, and said without looking back: "Victory." How do you think the Chu army compares to our army? ”

Zhao Desheng looked at it seriously and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang." The Chu army is majestic and murderous, and it is really a rare heroic division in a hundred battles! The Chu army was the elite composition of the more than 100,000 Jingzhou troops that year, and fought several battles with the western Xianbei on the grassland, killing and wounding thousands of people. However, there were more than 30,000 iron cavalry outside the city, and it is said that Sima Ting incorporated the original Xiao cavalry into the Chu army. Looking at its formation at this moment, it is not weaker than the Chu army that went out that year, but it has exceeded it!

And our army, after dozens of battles, has become stronger and stronger, even if it is slightly inferior to them, it is not much different. And our army has an advantage in numbers, enough for a battle! The subordinates really didn't pay attention to it. Even if he is around, Sima Ting uses soldiers like a god. The last general is also confident that they will stay outside Luoyang City forever and sigh at the city! ”

Sima Fan chuckled and nodded in satisfaction. Although they all knew that Sima Ting also brought 30,000 follow-up troops of the Yongzhou Army, they naturally ignored the Yongzhou Army. In their opinion, those shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Yongzhou Army are really vulnerable in front of the powerful Jingzhou warriors, and they are not worth mentioning! Don't say it's defending the city, even if it's a field battle, a general in the Jingzhou army can beat them to the ground with 10,000 horses!

Sima Fan suddenly seemed to realize something, and suddenly frowned and said: "However, the seventh child has the effect of the Holy Gate, and as far as Gu knows, the ability to supervise is not under Hongren." You have also seen the strength of Hongnin, if the governor personally attacked the city, what would it do? Moreover, there are a large number of innate masters in the Holy Gate, and Lao Qi's own martial arts cultivation is also at the peak......"

Zhao Desheng said indifferently: "The prince is relieved. Attacking a city is no better than defending it. Under the fire of thousands of arrows in our army, even if the gods come, they will take off their skin! ”

Zhao Desheng paused, glanced at Sima Fan with a weak heart, and said, "But." If there is not enough food and grass in the city, I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue......"

Sima Fan smiled, turned around and looked at Zhao Desheng with a smile and said, "Don't you believe that Victory can solve the problem of grain and grass alone?" ”

Zhao Desheng was so panicked that he leaned over and said in fear: "The king of Xiangyang is serious. How dare his subordinates doubt the king! It's just that in the past two days, I haven't seen any action from the prince, and all the generals are as uncomfortable as pressing a stone. ”

Sima Fan glanced at the generals behind Zhao Desheng, and found that everyone's faces were full of doubts, and he immediately understood that he was afraid that not only Zhao Desheng, but all the generals of the Jingzhou Army were doubtful and did not believe that they had a way to solve the problem of grain and grass.

Sima Fan smiled and said, "I see. Lone will tell you to solve it now. Victory! Come here with your ears ......"

Zhao Desheng hurriedly stepped forward, Sima Fan said a few words to Zhao Desheng, Zhao Desheng showed a crying and laughing expression on his face, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Wang." This, is this going to work? ”

Sima Fan patted Zhao Desheng's shoulder with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Naturally, it can be done." Go ahead! ”

Zhao Desheng saw Sima Fan's confident look, knew that he gave up his hand helplessly, stepped down from the city tower under the puzzled eyes of the generals, stepped on the war horse, and ordered the Jingzhou soldiers to open the city gate.

When the soldiers of the Chu army saw that the city suddenly galloped away, they rushed straight to the place where the main general was sitting, and dozens of people came out of the horse, trying to intercept the comers. When Sima Ting saw it, he shouted: "Let him come!" ”

When the soldiers of the Chu army saw that the new king of Chu was speaking, they naturally made way for Zhao Desheng and let him pass. Zhao Desheng came to Sima Ting's side, looked at Sima Yi, who had become powerful, and the calm and wise Zhou, and then looked at Sima Ting, who was wearing armor, heroic and majestic, and panicked uncontrollably, as if the one riding on the blood-red war horse was an ancient and eternal god!

Zhao Desheng hesitated slightly, then turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground on one knee, and respectfully arched his hand: "Zhao Desheng has seen Prince Ting, Prince Yi, and Lord Zhou!" ”

Sima Yi sneered, shook his horsewhip in the air, and said, "It's the prince of Chu!" Zhao Desheng, haven't you heard the news that my seventh child was crowned king? ”

Zhao Desheng glanced up at Sima Ting, and suddenly found that Sima Ting's cold eyes were staring at him tightly, and he didn't feel panicked, so he was so busy that he lowered his head again, and he didn't dare to look directly: "Yes!" Zhao Desheng has seen the prince of Chu! I've seen Prince Yi and Lord Zhou! ”

Sima Ting said indifferently: "Get up." ”

Zhao Desheng stood up as promised, but he was taken by Sima Ting's majesty, and he stood there for a while not knowing what to do.

The corners of Sima Ting's mouth hooked up a smile, looked at Zhao Desheng and said lightly: "Zhao Desheng." Why did you come to see the lonely house? ”

Zhao Desheng remembered what he was here for, and suddenly felt extremely ashamed of his gaffe, but he didn't dare to show anything in front of Sima Ting. Just stubbornly said: "Ting...... Lord Chu! That one...... The king of my family, the king of Xiangyang, asked me to discuss with the prince of Chu. Well...... My lord said: Luoyang City has a population of more than one million, so in order to prevent this battle from hurting the lives of the people. It is hoped that the prince of Chu can only attack three city walls, leaving one city wall to enter and exit freely...... I don't know what the prince of Chu thinks? ”

Sima Ting exchanged glances with Sima Yi and Zhou on the horse, and found that the other party's face was full of smiles. Zhao Desheng couldn't help but lower his head in shame when he saw it, just looking for a crack to get into. Leave a wall to enter and exit freely? Hehe, such a ridiculous condition, it is a shame that the prince of his own family can put it forward, and he has to discuss it himself, it is really ...... Is...... Alas!

Sima Ting groaned for a while, the smile on his face became brighter, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the King of Xiangyang is so sympathetic to the people, how can Gu not agree." Go back and tell the king of Xiangyang that the southern city wall is surrounded by Luoshui, and our army will not attack. Let the people inside and outside the city come and go freely! ”

"Huh?" Zhao Desheng raised his head incredulously and stammered, "Chu ...... Clear...... The prince of Chu replied...... Answer...... Promised? ”

Sima Ting chuckled, "I agreed." Go back to the city. Tell the king of Xiangyang that he hopes he can guard Luoyang City for a few days. ”

Zhao Desheng replied calmly, turned over and returned to the city with a sluggish expression. He's a hundred can't figure it out! Sima Ting even agreed to this kind of condition, which is really incredible! Conspiracy! It must be a conspiracy! However, on the city tower, King Xiangyang was completely full of confidence, and he expected that Sima Ting would definitely agree! What's going on here? …… What's going on in the minds of both brothers?!

Sima Ting watched Zhao Desheng Pegasus rush back to the city, the clearly visible figure on the city tower used to be so familiar, but now he had to draw his sword to face each other...... Leave a wall to keep in and out? Hehe, eldest brother, you are really clear in your calculations, you know that the third brother and I will definitely agree, don't you? Be. You're right. We can't be as forgetful as you are!

You won the round. But this war is doomed to you......

Sima Ting took one last look at the Luoyang City Tower, and shouted in a deep voice: "Collect the troops and camp five miles away from the city!" ”
