Yu Jin looked at Sima Yi, his teeth itching with hatred. Everything was caused by this guy. If he hadn't assassinated Long Fei, Long Fei wouldn't have gone out to destroy Wei. From the beginning, Yu Jin didn't like Sima Yi very much.
However, he is also a member of the Wei army. At this time, he should not dwell too much on the past. Yu Jin looked at Sima Yi: "Tell me what you have planned, don't keep it secret!"
Sima Yi smiled slightly: "Actually, it's nothing. The Dragon Army is so powerful that they don't take us seriously at all. Only in this way can we take advantage of the plan. Please take a look." Sima Yi pointed to the map: "The Dragon Army set out from Wancheng, and our army occupied
The three cities of Hulao, Xingyang, and Zhongmou are to prevent the Dragon Army from moving north. As for Luoyang, there is no garrison at all, so the Dragon Army must go straight to Luoyang!"
"So what?" Li Dian asked.
Sima Yi smiled faintly: "Luoyang is the capital of the former dynasty. Although it is dilapidated, it is not useless. If the Dragon Army wants to capture Luoyang, then give it to him. As long as we do something in Luoyang, we will wait until the Dragon Army enters the city and take control.
They will suffer heavy losses!"
Sima Yi was excited when he heard what he said, but Yu Jin and others felt chills running down their spines. This Sima Yi was indeed vicious. If his plan was followed, not only would the Dragon Army suffer heavy losses, but Luoyang would probably cease to exist. However, this may be the victory over
Long Jun's only method. Yu Jin's faction said: "Okay! Let's do it this way. For my great Wei, this is a last resort."
Sima Yi hurriedly said: "In order for Long Fei to take the bait, I need a general to volunteer to lead troops to Luoyang to garrison, and give Long Fei the illusion that we will never give up Luoyang, so that Long Fei will fall for the bait!"
Yu Jin, Li Dian, and Le Jin look at me and I look at you. Going to Luoyang is a technical job, and if you don’t do it, you will die without a burial place. Who wants to die? No one. The three of them didn’t say anything.
Sima Yi thought for a while: "General Yu is the commander-in-chief and cannot leave without permission. It seems..."
Before Sima Yi finished speaking, Li Dian said first: "It seems that you are the only one! Long Fei's excuse for attacking our Wei State is to arrest you. If he learns that you are in Luoyang, he will definitely lead his troops there, and it will be done!"
"
"Yes!" Le Jin also said: "That's right. It's most appropriate for Mr. Sima to go!"
"I...!" Sima Yi hesitated: "I have no soldiers and no generals. I am going to Luoyang alone. Long Fei only needs to send a dozen soldiers to capture me. Why lead a large army? The two generals are leading
The Wei army is elite, and the Dragon army will be a little afraid of it. The army will definitely go there, and I am not suitable, really not suitable!"
"What's so difficult about this?" Li Dian said: "There are three of us, and no one has assigned a school of troops and horses to you. Mr. Sima will immediately be the general with troops and horses. In total, he has more troops and horses than any of us. In this way
Long Fei should go to Luoyang."
"Isn't this appropriate?" Sima Yi was still refusing: "Your Majesty has decreed that I am only a general and cannot lead troops. If your Majesty finds out, we will all be punished by death!"
"The general will not accept your order. The matter is urgent, so the matter has been settled. Tomorrow morning, Mr. Sima can go to the military camp to select soldiers and horses, and set off immediately. There must be no mistakes!" After Le Jin finished speaking, he took Li Dian with him.
After walking out of the tent, Sima Yi no longer had a chance to refute.
When Long Fei arrived at Wancheng, everything was ready, with sufficient food and grass, and soldiers and horses on standby. Huang Zhong had already sent Zhang Xiu to take the lead and occupy Yiyang, and Wenpin to occupy Yingchuan. They did not encounter much resistance.
The Wei army was disintegrated in an instant. According to the original plan, Long Fei's purpose was to keep Yu Jin's troops in Luoyang and then annihilate them.
"Very good! What's the news about Yu Jin?" Long Fei looked at the locations of the various armies on the sand table. They were exactly as expected.
Xu Shu quickly said: "According to the news sent carefully, Cao Cao ordered Yu Jin to stay in Luoyang to fight with our army, but he pulled the troops from Yanzhou and Qingzhou back to Hebei. Only Zang Ba in Xuzhou did not make any movement!"
"That's right!" Long Fei smiled: "Cao Cao wants to test our strength. Well, Yu Jin's soldiers and horses are Cao Cao's only elite soldiers. After destroying them, the rest of Cao Cao's army will not be afraid at all!"
Huang Zhongdao: "There have also been changes in Luoyang. Originally, Yu Jin, Li Dian, and Le Jin were stationed in Xingyang, Zhongmou, and Hulao respectively. A few days ago, they suddenly divided their troops and were led by Staff General Sima Yi to garrison in Luoyang. It seems that they have seen our army's intentions.
First we seized Luoyang."
"This is a new situation. How many troops did Sima Yi lead?"
"Three schools, about 15,000 people!"
Long Fei lowered his head and thought deeply. Yu Jin's troops around Luoyang only totaled 50,000, but he gave one third to Sima Yi. There must be some reason for this. He had fought with Yu Jin many times, and Yu Jin gave Long Fei the impression that
Calm and strategic. If such a person is put together with a sinister and strategic person like Sima Yi, if the two of them cooperate properly, it will be difficult to deal with them.
"Immediately send someone to sneak into Luoyang. I want to know what Sima Yi is doing in Luoyang?"
Xu Shu shook his head: "I can't get in. After Sima Yi entered Luoyang, he ordered the four gates to be blocked. No one could get in or out. I had already photographed several waves of people but they didn't get in. I didn't know anything about the situation in Luoyang City, but I discovered along the way.
Sima Yi brought a large amount of luggage with him when he entered the city, and seemed to intend to hold on."
"Impossible!" Guo Jiadao: "Luoyang is an isolated city, and there is no point in holding on to Luoyang. Whether it is Cao Cao, Yu Jin, or Sima Yi, they all know that I am more inclined to believe that it must be Sima Yi's trick!"
"Xian Yufu, where is Wei Yan?" Long Fei shouted. Xian Yufu, Wei Yan immediately stood up: "No matter what method you two use, you must send people into the city. Whoever gets the intelligence in Luoyang City will be the first to do it!"
After Sima Yi entered Luoyang, he ordered people to block the four city gates. The rows of soldiers on the city wall were in high spirits. Twelve hours a day, the city walls were full of people. During the day, they were heavily defended, and at night, they were heavily guarded.
The big oil lamp illuminated the dark night brightly. Xian Yufu and Wei Yan stood in the woods outside the city, looking at the situation in Luoyang.
Xian Yufu shook his head: "Sima Yi's defense is so tight, it is difficult to sneak in! It has been three days, and no one has come in or out of the city. It seems that the only way is to sneak in."
Wei Yan raised his head and glanced at the circles of black shadows surrounding Luoyang City: "I don't think so. If you enter the city, you can certainly find out Sima Yi's purpose, but if you don't enter the city, you may not be able to get their situation."
Xian Yufu followed Wei Yan's gaze and said with a smile: "Haha, you are still good! The sneak attack on Chang'an is your attention, this time you are still smart!"
Early the next morning, Wei Yan led his soldiers to climb Congming Mountain, the highest mountain outside Luoyang City. This was originally the place where the emperor went hunting. After Luoyang was destroyed, it gradually became dilapidated. The gloriously repaired mountain roads are now overgrown with weeds and dense
The trees are intertwined with each other to form huge trees, and there is no sunlight underneath. Because of the relationship between the royal gardens in the past, Congming Mountain is a famous gathering place for big trees, especially a huge cypress tree on the top of the mountain. It is said that since the time of the Yellow Emperor,
This pine tree grows on the top of Congming Mountain. Emperors of all dynasties have always regarded this cypress tree as a sacred object, and anyone who touches it is regarded as blasphemy.
Wei Yan jumped suddenly, grabbed the bottom branch with both hands, swung it back and forth twice, and stood on the branch in a big loop. Xian Yufu stretched out his thumb: "What a skill!"
The two climbed up the big tree and looked at Luoyang City from a distance. From this angle, Luoyang City was so small, and the houses inside were even more dilapidated, especially where the palace was. The originally magnificent place was now overgrown with weeds.
Overgrown, the splendor of the imperial palace is completely lost. People can’t help but sigh that the Han Empire, which was once prosperous, turned into history under this pile of weeds and rubble.
The situation in the city seemed a bit strange. Sima Yi's soldiers were jumping up and down to clean up the houses for the people. Xian Yufu was stunned: "This Sima Yi is trying to win people's hearts! It seems that he really wants to defend Luoyang."
Wei Yan did not speak, and carefully observed the actions of the soldiers. The soldiers carried buckets of black mud to the roof and smeared it on the thatch. Most of the entire Luoyang City has been repaired, and the entire black area looks very...
Solemnly. The two of them stood on the top of the tree and watched for the whole afternoon. At night, lights were lit on the city wall, and a circle of lights surrounded Luoyang City, forming a huge ring of fire.
"Huh?" Wei Yan shook his head slightly.
"What's wrong?" Xian Yufu asked.
Wei Yan pointed at Luoyang City: "Why are there no lights in the city?"
Xian Yufu took a look and realized that it was really dark. Apart from the city walls, Luoyang City was completely dark. Not even the lights used to illuminate the homes of ordinary people were there. Even the government office where Sima Yi lived was completely dark. Xian Yufu also
I felt strange: "Yes, why are there no lights here?"
"In the afternoon, I noticed that there was no smoke rising in the city. There were only some flames where the palace was, and everything else was quiet. There must be something fishy about this!" Wei Yan further explained.
Xian Yufu looked at Wei Yan and said with a smile: "You can see very carefully. Did you see something interesting?"
Wei Yan shook his head: "Now there are more than 10,000 troops of Sima Yi in Luoyang City, plus there are no less than 50,000 civilians. They don't use fire. There must be something wrong! Maybe they are afraid of burning something!"
"Oh...yes, yes...!" Xian Yufu slapped his thigh and almost fell from the tree: "I remembered that when I was outside the Great Wall, I heard someone talking about a kind of oil. Oil is produced in swamps and lakes.
Under the ground, some people say that stones turned into oil, so it is called oil. It is black, extremely thick, and can burn when exposed to fire. Herdsmen outside the Great Wall use wooden barrels to prevent it, and use it as oil lamps at night. It is said that in the north
There are also people from the local generation, is it possible that what they touch on the roof at noon is oil?"
"Seriously?" Wei Yan asked quickly.
, then set Luoyang on fire and burn us all to death!"
"Ah!" Xian Yufu was shocked: "No, this matter must be reported to Your Majesty immediately. Don't send a large army to attack. If we enter the city, it will be ruined!"
