The book is followed last time.

One day later...

Because the army was riding war horses, the original two-day journey was reduced to one day. On the morning of the second day, they also arrived at Luoyang City. If it weren't for staying for one night, they would have been there that day.

"Dadada..." Just after they arrived at the gate of Luoyang City, they saw Li Zheng rushing towards them on a fast horse.

After coming here, Li Zheng turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and bowed to the two of them, "I have met my lord and my military advisor."

Because he is now on the battlefield and is guarding Cao Cao, it is not convenient for Li Zheng to call Li Zhi his father, so he can only treat him as a military advisor.

Cao Cao saw Li Zheng running out on a horse swaying, frowned and asked, "Zheng'er, now we are going to war with the princes in the south. If you come out so carelessly, aren't you afraid of being ambushed by them?"

"Hahaha..." After hearing Cao Cao's words, Li Zheng laughed heartily, waved his hand and said, "Please don't worry, lord, Liu Yan and others are now unable to take care of themselves, so how can they have the energy to manage their subordinates?!

In recent times, they have not even dared to attack the city, but only dared to hide outside the city and wait and see quietly, if it weren't for..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Zhi and whispered: "If it weren't for the fact that his subordinates would have killed them long ago!"

"Hmm?" Cao Fang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked happily: "So, there are not many enemies left?"

"That's right!" Li Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Father... When the military advisor left, the enemy had more than 100,000 troops left, but after the efforts of his subordinates over the years, the enemy had been reduced to less than 70,000 people, and there were still 100,000 troops in Luoyang City!

As long as the lord gives the order, his subordinates can swallow them in one bite!"

"Hiss..." Cao Cao took a breath after hearing Li Zheng's words, and then looked at Li Zhi.

He knew that if it weren't for the death order given by Li Zhi that Li Zheng would not allow Li Zheng to mobilize the southern princes, he would have only weakened them, and I'm afraid there would be no southern princes now!

After being shocked for a while, Cao Cao suddenly muttered again in his heart and asked: "Since the southern exit has been at a disadvantage, why don't they escape and stay here instead?"

"Haha..." Li Zhi, who was standing beside Cao Cao, chuckled after hearing Cao Cao's inquiry and said, "I'll answer this question to Brother Meng De,

The reason why the southern princes outside the city did not retreat was because their lord was here!

Before going down to Chang'an to help Brother Meng De, Liu Biao had already captured!

Although Liu Yan is now leading the army, most of the generals in the army outside the city are under Liu Biao’s command!

Even if Liu Yan had a bad experience and wanted to escape, the group of generals under Liu Biao would not agree!

As long as Liu Biao is still in my hands, the army outside the city will never retreat!”

"The military advisor is right!" After Li Zhi's words were settled, Li Zheng nodded immediately, and then Li Zhi said: "At the beginning, the army outside the city sieges wildly in order to save Liu Biao.

But after more than ten days of battle, they not only failed to break through the city, but also failed to defeat the city.

But he suffered losses and lost his troops, leaving less than 70,000 people!

After that, the enemy might also know that they could not capture Luoyang City, so they hurried in a small mountain forest outside Luoyang City, not knowing what they were doing.

However, the subordinates sent cavalry to cut off their retreat. Even if they want to escape, they can't escape!"

"Good job!" After listening to Li Zheng's report, Cao Cao was overjoyed and patted Li Zheng on the shoulder with joy on his face, laughing: "Zheng'er, you have indeed become a talent. No wonder Xingzhi's brother dared to put you in Luoyang!"

"Haha..." Li Zheng scratched the back of his head and smiled silly, quickly let go, and led his hand to Cao Cao and others, saying, "The lord is not a place to speak. If I have anything to do, let's talk before entering the city."

"Okay!" Cao Cao nodded, waved his whip and ordered loudly: "The whole army obeys the order! Go to the city!"

"No!" The army responded in unison and followed Cao Cao slowly towards Luoyang City.

Just when Cao Cao entered Luoyang City, Liu Yan and others outside the city also received the news.

At this time, Liu Yan, Huang Zhong and Kuai Yue were standing on the edge of the woods and looking at Luoyang City from afar.

After watching for a while, Liu Yan, with a gloomy face, suddenly asked, "Tell me, what should I do next?"

"This..." Kuai Yue and Huang Zhong knew that the best way now is to retreat quickly.

Originally, the 100,000 troops in the city were already stretched to them. If the 100,000 people Cao Cao led...

Then you can just fart. Surrender quickly is the right way. If you surrender slowly, you may not be able to save your life!

So, if they don’t retreat now, they will be wiped out in a short time!

But Kuai Yue and Huang Zhong couldn't say anything about the word "retreat"!

Because their lord Liu Biao was in Luoyang City at this time, if they retreated now, their hope of saving Liu Biao would be slim.

Besides, if they retreated and Cao Cao suddenly released Liu Biao, then Liu Biao would not blame Liu Yan, because if he was Liu Yan, he would have retreated, but he would have blamed Huang Zhong and Kuai Yue!

Because Liu Biao is the lord of these two, he has the kindness of knowing each other. If they abandon Liu Biao and ignore it, it would be disloyal!

Liu Biao can use this reason to punish the two of them!

Don't doubt that Cao Cao could do such a thing. If they retreated, Cao Cao would not mind using waste and release Liu Biao out to disturb the princes in the south.

It is precisely because of this that although Kuai Yue and Huang Zhong had long guessed what Liu Yan was thinking, no one dared to say anything.

"Oh..." Liu Yan saw Huang Zhong and the others silent and sighed a long time, and said, "I also know the difficulties of you, so why not do this. I will make the decision, and we will retreat immediately!

As for you waiting for the two of you..."

Speaking of this, Liu Yan had a headache, rubbed his eyebrows and smiled bitterly, "I just thought it was taken hostage by me. If Brother Jing Sheng is lucky enough to escape from heaven in the future, I will plead for you."

"This..." Huang Zhong and Huai Yue were stunned for a moment after hearing the rumors.

Although they knew this was a good idea, they could not let it go.

Although Liu Biao has done all kinds of things that disappoint them on weekdays, no matter what, Liu Biao is their lord. Now they can't do it if they let them abandon their lords!

"Hmph!" Seeing that he had said everything to this point, Huang Zhong and the others were so ignorant. After snorting coldly, they looked at Huang Zhong and said, "General Huang, do you believe that the dead can be resurrected?"

"..." Huang Zhong's face changed drastically after hearing the rumors, and he immediately thought of Wei Yan.

He told Liu Biao, Liu Yan and others that Wei Yan were dead. Now that Liu Yan asked this, he must have received news from Wei Yan.

The reason why he did this was to ask Wei Yan to help Dong Zhuo defeat Cao Cao, and then attack him on both sides.

This method requires division of troops and Maoxian risks, so Huang Zhong knew that Liu Biao and others would never agree to this method, so he asked Wei Yan's family to take the 50,000 troops he had falsely reported to go to Chang'an.

However, since Wei Yan left, the 50,000 army that Huang Zhong had high hopes for had no news.

In fact, when he couldn't contact Wei Yan, Huang Zhong had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Now that Cao Cao has arrived in Luoyang City, Huang Zhong knows that Wei Yan has definitely had something unexpected, otherwise Dong Zhuo would not have been defeated!

Just as Huang Zhong was thinking about it, Liu Yan glanced at him, squinted his eyes and said, "I received a very interesting information a few days ago. According to the information, an army led by Wei Yan appeared in Chang'an!

This army had about 50,000 people. When Dong Zhuo was ambushed, the army immediately went to rescue Dong Zhuo."

"What's the result?" Although Huang Zhong knew that this was an extra question, he still held hope for what if he wanted.

"..." Liu Yan shook his head with regret when he heard this, and said, "It's a pity that they were not Cao Cao and Li Zhi's opponents, and they were defeated that day by Li Zhi's army the next day, and even Wei Yan surrendered!"

"Impossible!!!" Huang Zhong's pupils shrank after hearing the news of Wei Yan's surrender, and he shouted in disbelief, saying, "Wen Chang was promoted by me. I know him. He is definitely not the kind of person who is afraid of life and death. He will never surrender!"

"I will never surrender?" Liu Yan looked at Huang Zhong with disbelief for a while, and asked with a smile: "Why do you think so?"

You know, Wei Yan was originally a general under my husband's command. Just because his Shangguan saw that he had some skills but was unruly, he wanted to polish it and suppress him and prevent him from being promoted. So he changed his flag and defected to Jing Sheng's brother!

Now, he surrendered to Cao Cao again when his life was threatened. Isn’t this reasonable?”

"..." Huang Zhong's face turned pale immediately after hearing Liu Yan's words.

Although he didn't want to believe it, he knew that rumors would not deceive him on such important things!

After thinking of this, Huang Zhong seemed to have suddenly become ten years older, and a little bit of dusk energy appeared on his body.
