Chapter 510 Despair

"June, the Wei army retreated to Luoyang!" The melee continued, and Liao Hua rushed to Guan Yu and said loudly.

"Mi Fang continues to clean up the Wei army, and the rest of the soldiers will follow him!" Guan Yu's eyes turned cold. In Liu Yi's plan, defeating Cao Xiu was only the first step. Next, occupying Luoyang can really turn defeat into victory. Therefore, even if the 50,000 troops were defeated, Guan Yu did not think of stopping. If he did not go to Luoyang, the dilemma of Yique Pass could not be solved. Therefore, after confirming that the Wei army could no longer have too much resistance, Guan Yu left Mi Fang to continue pursuing the defeated Wei army, and led Liao Hua and other generals to Luoyang, and he was determined to take advantage of the situation to take Luoyang in one fell swoop.

From Yique Pass to Luoyang, the road was smooth, less than 30 miles away. Both sides chased each other and rushed to Luoyang. Cao Xiu saw that Guan Yu was resolute this time, and he was angry, but he had no choice but to lose. The defeat was already achieved. Even if he wanted to turn around and reorganize the army, he might have been broken by Guan Yu before the chaos was rectified.

When it was about to dawn, Luoyang was already looking far away. Guan Yu in the rear was not anxious at this moment. He just slowly stuck behind the Wei army, like a sheep driving, and rushed up from time to time, allowing the Wei army, who had lost its fighting spirit to run wildly.

In the chaotic army, Cao Xiu was quite rational. He understood that this was not Guan Yu's kindness or fatigue. The other party was waiting for him to open the city gate and took advantage of the opportunity to drive the defeated army into Luoyang. The other party's target was clearly Luoyang!

Thinking this clearly, Cao Xiu felt cold all over his body. At this moment, he finally understood why Guan Yu was chasing him so wildly. If he wanted to break the deadlock, he had to capture Luoyang. In that case, Sima Yi's tricks against Guan Yu were completely disintegrated. Luoyang was occupied, and the Wei army that had been hiding in Gucheng was ready to ambush Liu Yi would lose its meaning. Sima Yi's painstaking efforts to occupy Guan Yu's food route would be overwhelmed. The most important thing is that once Luoyang fell, the entire river and Yin Yin would fall under the Han army's military front. By then, Liu Yi would no longer guard Hangu Pass but Chenggao!

I should have been the strongest point here, but I didn’t expect that it has become the key to Guan Yu’s breakthrough. Cao Xiu’s current mood is really complicated and difficult to understand!

Luoyang, there must be no mistakes!

Cao Xiu thought clearly about the cause and effect in the middle of this, and immediately called the deputy general and said in a deep voice: "I have not received my general order, so I cannot open the city gate. I ordered the army to go around the city! If a defeated army dares to call the city without authorization, they can shoot directly!"

Several deputy generals were stunned for a moment, then nodded and went to pass the order.

Cao Xiu sat on the back of the horse and looked back at the direction of the Han army behind him. His expression was a little gloomy. Luoyang was empty at the moment. The soldiers and Sima Yi's reinforcements had been sent out. There were only three thousand soldiers left in the city. It sounded quite a lot. If it was an ordinary city with a wall as high as Luoyang, these three thousand men were enough. However, as the old capital, although Luoyang was only about one-quarter of Chang'an's area, it was still a rare big city in the world. It would be difficult for three thousand people to completely defend against it.

You must try to enter the city before Guan Yu sieges the city.

But before Cao Xiu's people had arrived, the Wei army was approaching the city wall, a large number of Han soldiers suddenly appeared on the top of the city. Without saying a word, they shot angry swords at the Wei army under the city. Before they could understand what was going on, a large number of Wei soldiers were shot to the ground by arrows.

Above the city, a general laughed loudly and said, "Nan'an Pangde is here, why don't the traitor surrender early!?"

Seeing this, Cao Xiu felt his mind blank. He didn't know why the Han army appeared here? Where did it come from?

Time needs to go forward for three days. After sending Guan Ping, Liu Yi used a large number of scouts to search the surrounding mountains and forests. Except for the Wei army scouts, no large troops were found.

"If the Wei army does have ambush, they will block Gucheng!" Yu Jin pointed to the sand table and said the location of Gucheng.

"Is there a road? Can you bypass Gucheng and go straight to Luoyang?" Liu Yi looked at Yu Jin and asked.

"Is this... going to be too dangerous?" Yu Jin looked at Liu Yi in surprise when he heard this. Didn't Liu Yi be cautious in using his troops? Then he pondered: "Although there is a way to reach Gucheng, if so, the people who attack Luoyang will become lonely. If they cannot capture Luoyang in one fell swoop, they will fall into a situation where they are surrounded by enemies from both sides and even surrounded by Cao Xiu, Gucheng and Luoyang, and will be destroyed!"

"Don't worry, I have a soldier in my hand, which is the best at attacking surprises. I can choose a general commander and attack Luoyang directly." Liu Yi smiled and said, "If this battle is weak, then He Luo can be determined!"

Before going to the war, Liu Yi took away a thousand Wudang Flying Army from Chen Da, and cooperated with his equipment specially designed for Wudang Flying Army. Although Luoyang is a strong city, Luoyang is now empty and if you are lucky, it will not be a problem to take Luoyang in one fell swoop.

"Mr. Mo wants to take action himself?" Yu Jin looked at Liu Yi and said unexpectedly.

Now that Guan Ping has been sent to Guan Yu, it seems that only Liu Yi is the only one here. After all, he is just a surrendered general. You can't let yourself go, right?

"I'm not good at commanding troops." Liu Yi shook his head, what a joke? Although this kind of thing has a high chance of success, if it fails, he will not be able to break out of the army. Besides, he has never fought such a surprise attack? His wife and children are still waiting to reunite with him. How can he take risks? Let's leave this matter to someone who is willing and dares to take risks.

"Pang De?" Yu Jin reacted. Didn't Liu Yi ask Meng Da to replace Pang De before? But Pang De has the ability?

"Well, Ling Ming is a general. In addition, this trip requires Wen Ze's assistance. After all, Ling Ming has been in Xiliang for a long time. Although he is brave in fighting, he is not clear about the terrain of this area. It will take him a day to come here, and there is not much time to explain it to him. So Wen Ze leads him. If you don't know Wen, can the general be willing to surrender?" Liu Yi asked with a smile.

After all, Yu Jin was a famous general in the world. It was somewhat incompetent to let Yu Jin be the deputy general for Pang De, but there was no way. Although Liu Yi was willing to believe Yu Jin, in terms of rules, if Yu Jin directly led a county, then Liu Bei agreed. How could he have time to ask Liu Bei's opinion now? So he could only let Yu Jin, as the deputy general, follow Pang De to assist.

"Would Mr. Mo believe me?" Yu Jin was silent for a moment and said seriously at Liu Yi.

"Why don't you?" Liu Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Cao has been gone for seven years. General Wenze has been loyal to him for five years to repay Cao Gong's kindness. It is also considered to repay Cao Gong's kindness for his kindness. I believe in Wenze as a human being. Since I am willing to surrender, I will not do that repetitive thing."

Liu Yi did not mention the grudge against the Cao family, but the two knew it well that Yu Jin had already revenged Cao Cao's kindness and loyalty. However, in the era of Cao Pi, the revenge of the family being destroyed was not counted. Yu and privately, Yu Jin had no reason to go to Cao Wei again. The principle of leaving the people cold is applicable in any era. Moreover, after Cao Pi took office, he did not maintain this favor. Now Yu Jin took action against Wei State, which is not considered a betrayal. He was loyal to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao did not become emperor at that time, so Yu Jin has always been a Han minister. Now Cao Pi usurped the throne and the Cao family has gained the throne. Yu Jin is now standing on Liu Bei's side, which is not considered a betrayal.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin bowed to Liu Yi silently: "The last general will receive the order!"

To put it more realistically, Yu Jin's only son, Yu Gui, is still in Jingzhou. For this reason, Yu Jin has no reason to oppose Liu Yi and kill his relatives for the sake of justice. Just listen to it, but it really goes against human nature.

After receiving Liu Yi's summons, Pang De rushed to Liu Yi's side earlier than Liu Yi thought. That night.

After briefly explaining the task, Liu Yi looked at Pang De and said, "Wen Ze is familiar with the terrain of this area and the city defense of Luoyang. Ling Mingjiu is fighting in Xiliang and does not know much about Luoyang. Although you are the main general this time, you should ask Wen more opinions when encountering problems and should not make arbitrary decisions."

"Don't worry, if you don't break Luoyang, Pang De will come to see you!" Pang De bowed to Liu Yi and Yu Jin. Liu Yi asked him to fight for such a great contribution. If this trust is not raised, just this attention will be enough to make Pang Dexin effective in his heart of death.

"Come back alive, you can fight for my great man. If you die, what's the use of my head?" Liu Yi patted Pang De's shoulder, smiled and scolded, and then said with a stern look: "Go, this battle should be decided quickly. It is best to block the news between Luoyang and Yique Pass. Don't let Cao Xiu know in advance. It's only a few days before the Lord defeated Cao Xiu. It's best to take Luoyang before that, and then the big thing can be settled!"

"Here!" Pang De and Yu Jin bowed to Liu Yi, and Pang De went straight to order the troops.

Yu Jinze stayed and looked at Liu Yi and said, "Mr. Mo, if we go all the way, wouldn't there be no generals on Mo's side?"

"Don't worry." Liu Yi smiled and said, "If you say you charge and get into battle, I'm not as good as Wen Ze, but if you say you're defending the city, the city I've guarded has not been broken over the years! After you leave, I will strengthen the city defense."

Too.

Yu Jin nodded after hearing this, no longer asked. Thinking about it carefully, Liu Yi has always been famous for his goodness and goodness, and he has not had many achievements in fighting against people in the wild.

After staying under Liu Yi for so long, Yu Jin could see that some of his reputation was coming. Liu Yi's military strategy might be as he said, not very good, but Liu Yi dared to delegate power and would not compete for merit. Whether it was Yu Jin himself, Pang De, Meng Da and others, they were willing to contribute to Liu Yi. Rather than Liu Yi, the more the reason was probably for himself, because he knew that Liu Yi would not take credit and the credit he had made was his own, so he was more willing to fight with all his strength. Most of the time, Liu Yi was only responsible for the support and allocation of resources from the rear, so he did not let him be short of it, which made the soldiers fighting under him feel very comfortable.
