"Boyo, what are you going to do to capture Luoyang this time?"

Jiang Wei stood up and held Liu Yin's arm:

"Xiuran, in the past two years, the two of us have deduced how to capture Luoyang countless times. If we don't use it now, when will we wait?"

Liu Yin smiled knowingly and nodded heavily:

"Then let's follow the old rules. I will lead the army to attack Hangu (Hangu Pass of Han Dynasty) on the north road to attract the attention of the thieves. Boyue will lead the army to take the south road and detour behind it."

Who would have expected that Jiang Wei shook his head and said:

"No, this time, let's switch. I will attack the city, and you will lead the army to retreat."

Compared with Xiuren, since he is not a great Sima, he is also a reduced general.

If Da Sima allows himself to capture Luoyang, he must be wise.

This time, I let myself gnaw on the hard nut.

Liu Yin was slightly surprised, but he didn't refuse and agreed.

In October of the sixth year of Yanxi, the Han troops from Hangu Pass and Shaanxian County suddenly dispatched and rushed towards the last barrier to the west of Luoyang - Hangu Pass - at an extremely fast speed.

Sima Zhao, who personally led the army to guard Guancheng, looked at the Han army that seemed to appear overnight outside Guancheng, his face was livid, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart:

Thief Feng is truly treacherous!

I promised to act, but I didn't expect it to be true!

Fortunately, the adults were prepared.

I remembered that after returning to Yecheng, I reported to the Lord the results of my trip to Han.

The Han Dynasty not only agreed to open the Taiyuan trade route, but also agreed to cooperate with its side in Luoyang to stage a show.

Let's fight it out real and fake, and try not to let outsiders see that we are giving up Luoyang on our own initiative.

I also told the adults without knowing it that Hebei would at least have a long period of peace in the future.

Unexpectedly, the adult shook his head:

"Sir, you are still too young! That Feng Mingwen has always been extremely cunning. He agreed to cooperate with us in making a show, but he didn't say how true or false he was."

"If he had the chance, he would fight with all his strength and with all his strength. That wouldn't be surprising at all."

"So this time, even if we want to withdraw from Luoyang, we must be careful and not give any chance to Han."

At that time, I was still dubious, but unfortunately, now it seems that your Excellency was right.

If he did not prepare in advance, the Han army outside Guancheng might launch a surprise attack on Guancheng.

Thinking of this, Sima Zhao snorted coldly and ordered:

"Second order, each battalion will guard the key passes of Guancheng tightly and must not slack off. If there is any negligence, military law will be dealt with!"

"Here!"

Out of sight, Sima Zhao quietly wiped the sweat from his palms on the city wall.

This was the first time he led an army against the enemy.

The tall and thick walls of Hangu Pass did not bring him much comfort.

Because he knew that Hangu Pass could not block the Han army's way to Luoyang.

Again, while no one was noticing, he quickly glanced south.

This is a battle between true and false.

He wanted to prevent others from seeing it as fake, but also to prevent the Han army from making it real.

Such requirements are too difficult for me as a first-time leader!

Thinking of this, Sima Zhao couldn't help but sigh secretly:

It would be great if Brother is still here...

Jiang Wei, who had no idea that Feng Da Sima and Sima Yi had a secret deal, was standing on a mountain top, looking at Hangu Pass with a telescope.

Although I was mentally prepared, I was still a little frightened when I really saw the majestic Guancheng in front of me.

Fortunately, there is more than this road leading to Luoyang, otherwise, the Guancheng in front of me would really give me a headache.

Not to mention that the first batch of food and grass sent from Chang'an could only supply one army of Tiger Infantry.

This means that in the attack on Luoyang this time, before the second batch of grain and grass is delivered from Chang'an, the Wuwei Army may not be able to provide them with much support.

In addition, the Tiger Infantry troops were divided into two groups.

Therefore, it is not easy to capture Guancheng by relying solely on your own troops.

It's not easy, it's not easy, you still have to do what you have to do.

"Send the order to set up camp ten miles below the pass. Early tomorrow morning, follow me to the front of the battle formation to challenge."

Even if we really want to attack the city, we have to wait until the equipment is ready. Before that, we basically try to see if we can lure the defenders out of the pass.

It is also good to demoralize the enemy.

It would be even better if you encounter a reckless man who cannot withstand the provocation and lures most of the troops out of seclusion to fight against you without taking advantage of the location.

Compared with Jiang Wei who was blocked at the gate, Liu Yin led his army to the south, which was quite smooth.

The south road basically runs along the edge of Luoshui River, all the way east.

There were originally three cities on this road: Lianchi, Yangshiyi, and Yiyang.

Especially Yangshiyi and Yiyang.

One of them is where the general Dian Nong Zhonglang of the pseudo-Wei Dynasty Luoyang was stationed in the fields, and there were originally troops stationed there.

One is located on the edge of Luoshui River, which can barely be regarded as a city blocking the south road.

It's just that since the Han Dynasty captured Qinhan Valley Pass and Xinguan Pass, how could those garrison troops who had no combat effectiveness dare to defend there?

As for Yiyang, the terrain is actually pretty good, surrounded by mountains and rivers.

If the puppet Wei Dynasty really wanted to defend, Liu Yin couldn't help but really wanted to stay under the city.

At least we need to bring up the baggage from the rear and let the stone cannons blast it - anyway, this is not far from Shaanxi County.

However, what Liu Yin didn't know was that Sima Division, who had witnessed the power of the Han army's stone cannons in Gaodu City, after being defeated and retreating to Luoyang, withdrew its troops from Yiyang and retracted all its strength to Luoyang.

Because in Sima Shi's view, even Gaodu City with its back to Tianjingguan could not stop the Han army's stone cannons, and it was far inferior to Yiyang in Gaodu, and it was even less able to stop it.

Rather than wasting our troops, it is better to take them all back.

This decision actually came to Liu Yin's advantage.

He led the army to Yiyang City, and before he could send anyone to shout, the gates of Yiyang City were already wide open.

The hundreds of Wei troops who originally stayed in Yiyang to serve as police sentries ran away long ago when they learned that the Han troops were coming to attack in large numbers.

Liu Yin led the army into the city. Looking at the almost deserted city, he couldn't help but sigh:

"After passing Yiyang, you can follow the Luo River directly to Luoyang. Now that the thieves don't guard Yiyang, I'm afraid they have no intention of guarding Luoyang!"

Liu Yin, who had no idea that he had been fooled, immediately continued to lead the army eastward without stopping after resting in Yiyang City.

——

In the eleventh month of Yanxi's reign, Liu Yin led his army around Nanxiao Road and attacked Luoyang City all the way.

Sima Zhao, who was guarding Hangu Pass in Han Dynasty, was "surprised" when he learned the news!

He led his troops to withdraw from Hangu Pass overnight, intending to retreat to Luoyang before Liu Yin arrived at Luoyang.

Jiang Wei, who had been paying close attention to the movements in Guancheng, immediately broke through the barrier and followed closely behind him, not giving Sima Zhao a chance to breathe.

There were pursuers behind and interceptors on the side. Although he had been prepared, Sima Zhao was still a little panicked.

Seeing Luoyang City in sight, he actually did not follow Sima Yi's arrangement and enter the city to burn the grain and grass in the treasury before leaving - even though there was no grain left - but instead went directly around Luoyang.

Then he rushed directly to Xiaopingjin, north of Luoyang, where he prepared to cross the river north and return to Hanoi.

In this battle, both Han and Wei knew how the Han army would fight.

But the Han army didn't know how the Wei army would fight.

So when Jiang Wei and Liu Yin reunited and came to Luoyang City, they were shocked to see the chaos in Luoyang.

"Boyo, tell me, is there any fraud?"

When things came to a close, Liu Yin became a little uncertain.

"Probably, no?"

Jiang Wei also hesitated.
