    In the east of Luoyang City, the Yan Army camp was already filled with indignation.

    Liu Bei in the tent was even more furious, slapping the table and cursing.

    Because, just a few hours ago, Cao Jun's flag had been planted on the top of Luoyang City.

    Sima Yi's foresight was still slightly inferior to that of Guo Jia. When he was still suggesting Liu Bei to send troops to reinforce Zhang Fei and defeat Yue Jin's troops first, and then make plans, Guo Jia had already told Cao Cao, "Who cares about you"  Three-seven-twenty-one, let¡¯s capture the empty city of Luoyang first.

    The imperial capital of the Central Plains that originally belonged to him was so easily taken away by Cao Cao without any effort. Liu Bei was as angry as if someone had taken food from a dog's mouth.

    At this time, the number of Cao's troops in Luoyang City was nearly 20,000. They had quickly built a solid defense system with the help of Luoyang's solid city walls.

    On the southwest line of Luoyang City, there is Cao Ying with 40,000 troops, forming a horn with Luoyang City.

    Such a perfect defense system allowed Cao Cao, who had few soldiers and horses, to occupy an advantageous position in Luoyang.

    "Thief Cao is really despicable and hateful. He dares to use such means to seize Luoyang from me. I hate you!" Liu Bei slapped the case and cursed angrily.

    At this time, Sima Yi overcame the situation and said: "Cao Cao's betrayal of the alliance is really hateful. If Luoyang is not taken back now, it will pose a great threat to the hinterland of the Central Plains of the Yan Kingdom. Your Majesty, I thought we should take advantage of Cao Cao's unstable foothold and quickly attack  Take back Luoyang."

    Sima Yi, who originally proposed a plan to abandon Luoyang, now became a loyal supporter of retaking Luoyang.

    On the contrary, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Zhongda's words are wrong. Your Majesty's biggest enemy is the Yan thief. If you go to war with Cao Cao, wouldn't it be possible for the Yan thief to reap the benefits? Liang thought that for the time being, he would still fight against Cao Cao, so he would tolerate it for the time being.  , and then go back and deal with Cao Cao after destroying the Yan thief."

    Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei seemed to be holding back his anger.

    "Although it is a national policy to fight against Yan in the west and Cao Cao in the south, there must be a bottom line in the west and Cao Cao. Luoyang is the most important thing in the Central Plains. How can we give it up just to make a good relationship with Cao Cao." Sima Yi retorted without hesitation.

    Liu Bei nodded slightly and leaned toward Sima Yi again.

    But Zhuge Liang sneered and asked: "Then I would like to ask Zhongda, if the king and Cao Cao fight for Luoyang, and the Yan thief takes the opportunity to launch a massive attack, how should he respond?"

    "Yan Liang has the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers. Yi expects that sooner or later he will retreat south, so that we can fight with Cao Cao with peace of mind. Only when we are both injured will he be able to move north to collect profits. Yi thought,  As long as we use our troops properly, we can quickly recapture Luoyang and drive Cao Cao out of Hangu Pass. At that time, we have nothing to fear if Yan Liang raises his troops again and marches north. "

    Zhuge Liang was speechless for a moment.

    At this time, Liu Bei was completely persuaded by Sima Yi and said angrily: "Okay, I will follow Zhongda's plan and first defeat Cao's thief and recapture Luoyang, and then deal with that thief Yan Liang!"

    "Your Majesty is wise." Sima Yi praised him with a faint smile on his lips. Obviously, he had a better idea of ??Liu Bei's thoughts.

    Zhuge Liang swallowed, glanced at Sima Yi, and his brows deepened.

    ¡­¡­

    Luyang.

    Flags were flying, dust was rising, and the long snake-like marching team could not be seen to the end, extending from north to south along the road to Luyang.

    Just a few days ago, when Yan Liang got the news that Cao Cao had seized Luoyang, on Pang Tong's suggestion, he withdrew all Chen Liu's troops and returned south.

    At the same time, Yan Liang also sent an edict to Chen Liu's Xu Shu, ordering him to lead all the frontline troops to retreat to Xudu. Chen Liu only left Gan Ning and his 10,000 troops to garrison in the city.

    Yan Liang deliberately withdrew his army and returned south. Of course, he had only one purpose, which was to reduce the pressure on Liu Bei in the south, so that Liu Bei could free his hands and fight Cao Cao without any scruples.

    When Cao and Liu were killed and both were injured, it was the day when he went north again and the fisherman gained his strength.

    As he rode his horse slowly, a group of soldiers and horses galloped towards him from the northeast, interrupting Yan Liang's thoughts.

    Turning around, Yan Liang was surprised to find that the person running towards him was none other than Xu Shu.

    "I pay my respects to the king." Xu Shu stepped forward, bowed his hands and saluted.

    Yan Liang asked curiously: "Yuan Zhi was not in Xudu to preside over the withdrawal of troops, so why did he come to Luyang? Is there something important that cannot be accomplished?"

    "Your Majesty, I really thought of something very important, and I must discuss it with your Majesty in depth, so I came here in a hurry." There was a bit of excitement in Xu Shu's tone.

    Yan Liang could tell that this top counselor must have some clever ideas to offer.

    Yan Liangsui?The army slowly marched south, and Zi and Pang Tong stopped on the roadside to rest under the shade of a tree.

    "The king ordered Cao and Liu to kill each other, and then reap the benefits. This plan is naturally clever. But the common people are thinking that both Liu Bei and Cao Cao are treacherous people. Even if they start a war, they will be careful in their actions to avoid losing both sides.  , and it will eventually be taken advantage of by the king. So, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s still unclear how much profit this will bring.¡±

    Yan Liang nodded slightly, and his mind began to quickly think about the meaning behind Xu Shu's words.

    Xu Shu continued: "So, I am thinking that instead of withdrawing the troops and returning south, waiting for the unpredictable profits, why doesn't the king change his tactics and take advantage of the situation to pocket another big visible profit?"

    An invisible gift?

    Yan Liang¡¯s expression was slightly shocked. Even Pang Tong had a look of surprise on his face.

    "Bring me the map." Xu Shu shouted.

    The pro-army troops on the left and right took the army map and spread it under the big tree.

    Xu Shu casually picked up a branch, pointed at the map, and said with a sly smile: "Why don't your Majesty, in the name of returning to the south, reunite his troops, and then suddenly attack here, catching him by surprise? Wherever the army is heading,  Who can stop it?"

    Following Xu Shu¡¯s gaze, the eyes of Yan Liang and Pang Tong were fixed on that point.

    Suddenly, some inexplicable excitement flashed on both their faces.

    "Military advisor, what do you think?" A cold smile was gathering at the corner of Yan Liang's mouth.

    Pang Tong's lips also raised a hint of secrecy, and he sneered: "Luoyang's plan to alienate people is actually a crooked plan, allowing Yuan Zhi's plan to be useful. Well, I think Yuan Zhi's plan is feasible."

    Pang Tong also agreed with Xu Shu's strategy, and Yan Liang's fighting spirit was naturally burning wildly.

    He stood up immediately, with murderous intent on his face, and shouted excitedly: "Here, please send Wen Ziqin to come and see me."

    ¡­¡­

    Three days later, east of Xiao County.

    The war flag of hunting and hunting is flying under the setting sun of Xizhao.

    Under the cover of the sky full of dust, 10,000 cavalrymen were flying silently towards the east.

    Wen Chou raised his eyes and took a look at the unfamiliar terrain around him, and planned to send someone to invite Lu Lingqi to come and meet him.

    Before the scouts came out, Lu Lingqi was already galloping from the front army.

    "General Ziqin, Xiao County has been passed. It's time for us to divide our troops into two groups according to Brother Wang's order." Lu Lingqi shouted before the horse stopped.

    Wen Chou nodded and immediately gave the order.

    This long-distance attack of 10,000 infantry and cavalry troops was divided into two groups. One group was led by Wen Chou with 6,000 infantry troops and continued to advance eastward. The other group was led by Lu Lingqi with 4,000 light cavalry troops. They separated from the main road and detoured to the southwest.  .

    The two groups of soldiers and horses completed their division in an orderly manner. Lu Lingqi rode her horse like flying, leading four thousand divine cavalry, galloping non-stop.

    "Father, Ling'er is back again. You can watch from heaven. This time, my daughter will make those enemies pay the price with blood!"

    With the fire of revenge burning in her chest, Lu Lingqi whipped her riding whip desperately, urging her iron hooves to move like the wind.

    A few dozen miles away, the majestic city on the banks of the Sishui River was bathed in the tranquility of the setting sun. The soldiers and civilians in the city were completely unaware that countless butchers were coming towards them.

    On the top of the city, one group of soldiers walked up to the city wall, and another group of soldiers walked down the city tiredly. The troops defending the city had begun to change their defenses.

    On the top of the city, the young general looked at the peaceful city outside, but his face showed a bit of melancholy and unwillingness.

    "My father is showing off his power in the south, and my uncles and uncles are also fighting bloody battles, but I am here to guard the city. Alas, it seems that I will not have the chance to make contributions in this battle."

    At this time, someone behind him said: "What the young general said is wrong. Pengcheng is the gateway to Xuzhou and the most important thing. General Yunchang ordered the young general to guard this important place. This is the importance he attaches to the young general."

    Guan Ping was startled and looked back, only to see that the person speaking was none other than Liao Hua.

    "Of course I know that my father ordered me to guard Pengcheng because he valued me." Guan Ping sighed again, "But Yan Liang's troops have now retreated south. Pengcheng is far away from the smoke of war, so where will it be threatened."

    Liao Hua said: "Having said that, our Pengcheng Kingdom is adjacent to the Liang Kingdom controlled by Yan Thief, so we should not underestimate it."

    "Pengcheng is a fortified city in the world. You and I have 10,000 elite soldiers. Even if Yan Thief comes with an army of 100,000 people, what do we have to fear? Besides, I really hope that he can lead his army to attack. In this case, I can still  Take advantage of the opportunity??.  "The Guan Ping faction is proud, as if they don't take Yan Liang seriously.

    As soon as he finished speaking, a scout suddenly rushed over and exclaimed: "Reporting to the Major General, there is an urgent report from Xiao County. There are more than ten thousand Chu troops passing through the border and are rushing towards Pengcheng."

    As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, even the proud Guan Ping, his expression changed.

    "Didn't all the Chu army return south? Why did they suddenly rush to Pengcheng to kill them?" Liao Hua said in shock.

    At this time, Guan Ping had regained his confidence and snorted coldly: "It's just the right time. I'm worried that I won't have a chance to make meritorious deeds, so I will quickly pass on the order and prepare the whole army to fight."

    Guan Ping was not worried but overjoyed. He was confident and had already organized all his troops to personally defeat the more than 10,000 Chu troops who had come forward.

    At this moment, another scout came and rushed up to the city, bringing another even more shocking news to Guan Ping and the Pengcheng defenders:

    Five thousand Chu army light cavalry have bypassed Pengcheng from the south and are heading towards Xiapi City.

    "What!" Guan Ping was shocked. All his confidence was shattered by this shocking news in an instant.
