The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Immediately replied to Liu Bei.

"May I ask the general's name?"

While asking, Sima Yi made a gesture of invitation, inviting Liu Bei and his party to the Sima family's mansion.

In fact, in Sima Yi's heart, he was very curious about Liu Bei's identity, and had a guess in his mind.

It's just that this guess was too surprising, and he didn't say it directly, so he took the initiative to ask Liu Bei for confirmation.

Liu Bei walked forward according to Sima Yi's invitation, while looking at Sima Yi for a while, but did not answer him.

"Little friend is quite smart, how about this, can you guess my identity?"

Because Sima Yi guessed right just now, Liu Bei came from the Central Plains.

This made Liu Bei interested, and wanted to see if Sima Yi could guess his identity.

Seeing Liu Bei asking Sima Yi like this, he didn't have the nerve to say that he didn't guess. Instead, he hesitated for a while, and then opened his mouth to guess according to Liu Bei's words.

"Since this is the case, the kid will venture to guess the identity of the general."

Sima Yi replied, then looked at Liu Bei again, and then spoke slowly.

"Looking at the general's age, he is about 40 years old, and he is a good friend with my father. He must be an official in Luoyang. With so many people around him, his official position must not be low."

"This time, he came from Yingchuan County again. Could it be the General Liu Bei?"

In fact, Liu Bei's identity is not difficult to guess, let alone the clothes Liu Bei is wearing at this time are extremely extraordinary at first glance.

Furthermore, these soldiers who followed Liu Bei were all in fine armor.Anyone with a little military knowledge can tell that the status of such a guard is definitely not low. It is definitely not comparable to some prefects in various places, and must be a military general with a high status in the dynasty.

Coupled with Liu Bei's age, his figure can roughly determine Liu Bei's identity.

Sima Yi is not stupid at all, and he is a family of officials, so he knows a lot about the affairs of the court under his influence.

It is not difficult to guess Liu Bei's identity.

After Sima Yi revealed Liu Bei's identity.

The surprised look on Liu Bei's face became even more exaggerated.

"You can really guess my identity!"

Liu Bei at this moment was completely shocked by Sima Yi's intelligence.

I greatly appreciate Sima Yi.

However, Sima Yi hurriedly showed a humble look, which made Liu Bei value Sima Yi's resignation even more, and it is expected that Sima Yi will become a great weapon in the future.

Amidst the praise, Sima Yi took Liu Bei into the Sima Mansion.

At this time, Sima Fang's eldest son, Sima Lang, also walked out of the mansion.

Sima Lang is a few years older than Sima Yi, and he has already passed the year of weak crown.

He is different from Sima Yi. Sima Yi has never been by his father Sima Fang's side since he was a child.

But Sima Lang stayed with his father in Luoyang for a period of time in his early years, so he still knew Liu Bei.

As soon as he left the mansion, he was quite surprised when he saw Liu Bei outside the mansion.

"General, why are you here?"

"It's a long story. Now, I'm leading the soldiers and horses passing through Wen County temporarily. The army lacks food and pay. Can you borrow some money and food from your Sima's mansion?"

After entering the Sima Mansion.Liu Bei had just sat down and started talking with Sima Lang. He went straight to the point and asked Sima Lang if he could lend him some money.

How could Sima Lang refuse Liu Bei's request?

Even though Sima's family was not very wealthy in Wen County, Liu Bei didn't ask him for too much money and food, but the Sima family could still afford the rations for more than 300 people for a few days.

Sima Lang treated Liu Bei well in the mansion.

Liu Bei didn't intend to stay longer in Sima's Mansion. He came here just to borrow some money and food, and he still wanted to go to Luoyang as soon as possible.

If he stayed in Wen County for too long, something might happen to Luoyang, so after Liu Bei got the money and food, he planned to leave soon.

"The general is going back to Luoyang, so I won't bother you here."

The first thousand 320 chapters and seven Lu Bu's method

Seeing that Liu Bei got up and was about to leave, Sima Yi beside him was not happy.

Immediately also stood up.

"General, can I go to Luoyang with you?"

Sima Yi's ambition has been gradually revealed. If he wants to get ahead, he must seize this opportunity. Only by connecting with General Liu Bei can he stay away from this remote Wen County.

Because of this, when Liu Bei left, Sima Yi asked Liu Bei if he could take him with him.

Anyway, Liu Bei was going back to Luoyang, and if Sima Yi followed him to Luoyang, he would also be able to meet his father, Sima Fang.

"You want to follow me to Luoyang?"

"What are you going to do in Luoyang?"

Although Liu Bei liked Sima Yi a little bit, after all, Liu Bei also had the idea of ​​promoting such a smart person.

However, at this time, Liu Bei was just fleeing, and he had no idea to take Sima Yi with him.

But Sima Yi offered to leave with him, which was different.

Liu Bei was naturally curious, so he asked.

"I have a relationship with the general, and I want to learn more from the general by his side. If the general thinks that I am useless, I can go to Luoyang to find my father. If the general thinks that I am a person who can be cultivated, Sima Yi wants to follow the general to learn how to govern the country."

Such a remark, without leaking, not only showed that Sima Yi was a smart and studious child, but also found an excuse to follow Liu Bei to Luoyang.

As long as Liu Bei agrees.

Liu Bei had already seen how much he liked Sima Yi, but after hearing what Sima Yi said, a smile appeared on his face.

He did not refuse.

Liu Bei at this time really felt that Sima Yi was a man who could be made.

Like Pang Tong, the son of Lord Pang De, whom he met in Nanyang County, he is a man who can be made.

It's a pity that Pang Tong was by Guan Yu's side, and now he doesn't know what's going on.

But it doesn't matter, now another Sima Yi appeared in front of Liu Bei. Sima Yi is also a talent that can be cultivated, which made Liu Bei love talents.

"Yes, yes, but is your elder brother willing to let you follow me?"

After all, Sima Yi at this time was still at an age that was not yet a weak crown. At this age, people could not make decisions for themselves and needed to ask the opinions of the elders in the family.

Although Sima Yi's father is not around, his eldest brother is like a father, and Sima Lang can also make decisions for him.

And Sima Lang listened to him the whole time, when he saw Liu Bei asking this question, he was stunned for a moment, and then he answered Liu Bei.

"Don't worry, general. I can't control this younger brother. If he wants to follow you, general, let him follow. Maybe it's a good thing."

Sima Lang didn't stop his younger brother, and quickly agreed to his idea of ​​leaving with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei had already seen this answer, so naturally he had no intention of refusing.

"Okay, then bring your little friend."

When Sima Yi heard Liu Bei's words, he immediately became happy, thinking that he could finally leave this small place and go outside to see the world.

The conversation was divided into two parts. Liu Bei and Sima Yi were planning to leave from Wen County, while Liu Zheng on the other side led an army from Xuchang to the vicinity of Hulao Pass.

After Liu Zheng ordered Tai Shici and Gan Ning to use the army to advance Yingchuan County in an all-round way, in just three days, the entire territory of Yingchuan County surrendered.

At a later time, the defenders in those towns didn't even have the idea of ​​resisting, and directly opened the city to welcome Tai Shici and Gan Ning's army into the city.

Among them, Liu Zheng also passed by, Changshe County, where he came over more than ten years ago.

At the beginning, Liu Zheng became a member of the Yellow Turban Army. He followed Yang Feng and ran all the way to the Changshe, intending to support Daqu Shuai Bocai who was fighting against the official army in the Changsha.

Who knows, when he was in Quyang County, he was defeated by Cao Cao's army.

Speaking of which, these things have now passed for more than ten years.

Things are different, and Liu Zheng once again led the army and returned to his hometown. He is already a generation of emperors, and he will rule the world just around the corner.

He didn't stay at Changshe for long, and soon followed Guo Jia, let Tai Shici and Gan Ning lead the army, and arrived in front of Hulao Pass.

This was what Liu Zheng had discussed with Lu Bu from the beginning, and he pushed all the way north to kill Hulao Pass.

After Liu Zheng's troops arrived at Hulao Pass and joined Lu Bu's troops, the situation changed again.

At this time, Liu Zheng still had [-] troops under his command.After Tai Shici and Gan Ning conquered the counties and counties in various parts of Yingchuan, they did not leave many troops to garrison them.

The number of troops even increased, because some refugees were recruited from various places to serve as handymen and transport supplies.

When they arrived at Hulao Pass, there were already nearly 5 people. If these elite troops stormed Hulao Pass, they might not be able to take it down in a short time, but Liu Zheng didn't think it was a big deal to take down Hulao Pass. Difficult.

First of all, there are not many defenders at Hulao Pass, and most of the troops have been transferred away by Liu Bei. There are not many defenders in the entire Gyeonggi.

In addition to several thousand soldiers and horses in Luoyang, there are no more than three thousand people stationed at Hulao Pass.

This manpower, facing an enemy ten times larger than their own, is naturally unable to hold on. Although they can hold on for a while, it is only in vain.

Because they don't have many reinforcements left.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Liu Zheng to defeat Hulao Pass. What is difficult is how to quickly defeat Hulao Pass in a short period of time without damaging many of his troops.

Outside the Hulao Pass, there is a big tent.

"My dear friends, the Hulao Gate is close at hand. Is there a way to break through the gate of the Hulao Gate?"

In fact, Liu Zheng had already been defeated the last time this Hulao was closed, but now he doesn't want to use that method anymore. He wants to see if these people around him have new tricks.

If there is really no other way, you can only attack by force.

Guo Jia glanced at Lu Bu, Tai Shici and the others. No one of them spoke, so Guo Jia spoke up.

"Your Majesty, there are not many defenders here at Hulao Pass. We just need to let the catapults shoot a few rounds first. It shouldn't be difficult to break through Hulao Pass by force. In order to attack Luoyang, we don't need to wait for anything, just go straight to Hulao Pass. .”

Guo Jia knew what Liu Zheng was thinking, and wanted to kill Luoyang as soon as possible to destroy the hopes of the Han Dynasty.

But Liu Zheng didn't speak, and glanced at the others.

I thought that no one would speak anymore, but Liu Zhengang wanted to follow Guo Jia's words.

Lu Bu on the side suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, the last general has a way, you can try it."

" oh?"

Liu Zheng glanced at Lu Bu curiously, showing interest.

(

The first thousand 320 eight chapters break

It's not that Lu Bu has no ideas, but Lu Bu generally rarely expresses his opinions.

Because there are other people smarter than him here, Lu Bu put forward his own ideas, which is tantamount to throwing an ax at the door of the class.

So Lu Bu was also happy not to speak.

But this time, when Lu Bu spoke, it would naturally surprise Liu Zheng, Guo Jia and others.

I especially want to know what kind of thoughts this guy Lu Bu has.

"General Fengxian has something to say, just say it bluntly."

Liu Zheng took the initiative to ask Lu Bu a question.

At this time, Lu Bu didn't say anything else, and immediately began to describe his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I have done some research outside Hulao Pass these days. The guard at Hulao Pass is named Hao Meng, who was once my subordinate in Bingzhou. Back then, I accompanied Ding Yuan to the south to support Liu Biao. At that time, Hao Meng was still in Bingzhou."

"Later Liu Bei became a general, and Hao Meng made some military exploits in Bingzhou, and gradually rose to the position of guard of Hulao Pass."

"I never said anything about this matter. Although I didn't have a good relationship with Hao Meng back then, we still had some kind of friendship. If I came forward to persuade Hao Meng to surrender, I'm afraid that Hao Meng might surrender to us. "

The reason why Lu Bu has his own ideas is precisely because Hao Meng, the guard at Hulao Pass, was his subordinate in Bingzhou back then.

Although Lu Bu and Hao Meng are just superiors and subordinates, and Hao Meng doesn't treat Lu Bu as death, but the friendship is still there, and now Hao Meng is at a disadvantage.
