Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 945
Lan Tian was taken aback when he heard that Guan Yu had already besieged Luoyang, and Zhang Fei took Tongguan at this time. With Zhang Yun's steady character, he probably would not stick to Luoyang.

When he arrived at Weiyang Palace to face the saint, Liu Bei had already put on his military uniform.

Seeing Lantian's face, Liu Bei recalled the days when he was living in Xiaopei. Although there were no soldiers, no food, and no city at that time, he could be with Guan Zhang all day long. Now that he is surrounded by the world, it is even more difficult to reunite.

"Ziyu, I want to go to Luoyang to meet my second and third younger brothers. Would you like to go with me?" Liu Bei smiled.

Lan Tian smiled and asked, "I'm fine, but the New Year is approaching, can Your Majesty leave Chang'an?"

"I left Shiyuan and Xiaozhi behind. They will celebrate the new year on my behalf. Besides, the world has not yet been settled. I should put state affairs first. Ziyu won't be like the court officials to dissuade him?" Liu Bei frowned.

Lan Tian shook his head lightly: "I'm not a speech officer, it's just that Shi Yuan and Xiao Zhi are not here, who will advise His Majesty?"

"Isn't there you?" Liu Bei didn't care.

Lan Tian quickly waved his hands, "I can't compare to a few military advisors."

"Haha, I don't know your ability? Besides, Yunchang is not what it used to be, let's go." Liu Bei strode forward, grabbed Lan Tian's hand and walked out.

Arriving at Tongguan two days later, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao had already set off first, and Lan Tian was with the left behind soldiers, and fully understood the process of seizing Tongguan.

It turned out that Hao Zhao caught wind and cold while touring the city last month, and his condition not only did not improve, but also became more and more serious. The news of Guan Yu's siege of Luoyang spread to Tongguan, and the rest of the soldiers in the pass saw that the situation was over, so they took advantage of Hao Zhao's serious illness and coma. Zhang Fei was welcomed in.

Liu Bei rested in Tongguan for half a day, then continued to Hongnong County in the east, planning to meet Zhang Fei at Hongnong, but the result was surprising, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao had already left for Luoyang.

"The third younger brother has no bloodshed, and he went down to Tongguan and Hongnong for several days. You said that we rushed to Luoyang, so they have already entered the city?" Liu Bei joked at Lantian.

"General Guan besieged Luoyang City and cut off the food roads of Tongguan and Hongnong. Sooner or later, the defenders of these two places will give up. However, Zhang Yun is a more experienced man. Even if he wants to retreat, he has to put on a show. I guess His Majesty can catch up with the fruits of victory." Lan Tian analyzed with a smile.

"Very good. Being able to fight side by side with my brothers is really happier than being an emperor." After Liu Bei affirmed, he turned around and called Chen Dao to order: "Uncle Zhi, order the army to advance at full speed. When we capture Luoyang, I will reward you a lot."

"Wei." Chen Dao cupped his fists.

In the fourth year of Zhangwu, the fourteenth day of the first month.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei met again in the west of Luoyang City. The three brothers had tears in their eyes. They hugged each other without talking much. The smiles and tears said everything. Ten years have passed since the last meeting in Xiangyang. At that time, Liu Bei had not yet become king. .

After a while, Liu Bei called Lan Tian and Ma Chao who were "watching the show", and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with a smile: "The third brother and Meng Qi even Ke Tongguan and Hongnong. I thought you would take down Luoyang first, but Ziyu did not." I thought Zhang Yun would not retreat so quickly, but I didn't expect it to be so."

"Zhang He is the best at running away. I thought the same as His Majesty, but I didn't expect it to be in the quilt's words. Why are you like Kong Ming, do you know ghosts and gods or something?" Zhang Fei lightly hammered Lan Tian's chest.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense. It's not the first day you know Ziyu. What he is good at is deducing the general situation." Guan Yu frowned and spoke for Lan Tian.

"I was joking with Ziyu." Zhang Fei grinned and showed his white teeth, turned around and complained to Liu Bei: "I originally suggested a strong attack, but the second brother said it was not worth it, otherwise we should attack Luoyang."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and explained: "Jingzhou soldiers and horses have been fighting continuously, and the soldiers are very tired. Moreover, the siege consumes a lot of materials, and it is inconvenient to transport supplies in winter. Cao Pi only left [-] defenders for Zhang He. Sooner or later he will be forced to The pressure goes away, so there's no need to sacrifice in vain."

"Ziyu, what do you think?" Liu Bei looked at Lantian and asked.

Lan Tian sternly replied: "I agree with Yun Chang's idea. The so-called sharpening a knife does not make a mistake in cutting firewood. Xingba and the others won a big victory in the Huainan battlefield, and they are still stationed in Shouchun to rest. They will go north and east when they are fully prepared in the coming year. Continuing to fight requires rest, and I suggest taking Luoyang to rest for a few months, and when we have fully prepared all kinds of military supplies, we will take the Central Plains in one fell swoop."

"Ziyu's words are very close to my heart." Liu Bei nodded slightly.

Zhang Fei saw a few people singing together, he lightly poked Lan Tian's waist with his fingers, stared at his big eyes and asked again: "Ziyu knows things like a god, can you guess when Zhang Yun will abandon the city?"

Lan Tian smiled lightly, "Cao Wei has only established the capital in Luoyang for a few years, and I have established the capital in Luoyang for 200 years. The people in the city are more loyal to the Han Dynasty. When they see His Majesty's royal conquest, who will help the desperate Wei army to defend the city? ? I guess Zhang He will escape in the next two days."

"Second brother and I are surrounded by three and one, leaving the north gate without sending troops. I will lead troops to ambush later, and I will definitely capture that old guy." Zhang Fei grinned, and then reminded Lan Tian: "If you are not sure, , you have to compensate me."

"Uh me." Lan Tian was speechless.

Luoyang City was besieged for half a month, and the defenders had long been panicked, but the general Zhang Yun insisted on defending.

Zhang Yun fled back to Luoyang from the Jingzhou battlefield, but was very unlucky to meet Cao Pi who moved his capital. Before leaving, Zhang Yun was promoted to the general who conquered the South, and he was fully responsible for the defense around Luoyang. Zhang Yun's family had already moved to Hebei. So I have been gritting my teeth and persisting.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao and other fierce generals besieged the city one after another. Zhang Yun was in torment almost every day until Liu Bei's Tianzi Banner appeared in the west of the city. Luoyang North Gate abandoned the city and fled.

Luoyang was defeated, the Han army entered the city, and Liu Bei hosted a banquet in the Wei Palace to celebrate.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Bei looked at Guan Zhang and sighed: "Do you still remember that piece of Taoyuan? Everyone was full of spirits back then, but now they are graying at the temples and getting old. Time flies."

"Fortunately, the Han Dynasty is about to prosper, and Guan can get to know His Majesty and have the privilege of making contributions. It is really a great comfort in my life. I have no regrets in this life." Guan Yu replied with fists in his hands.

Zhang Fei clasped his fists without organizing his words, and could only say the familiar four words: "Me too."

"Your Majesty and Ziyu made an agreement two years ago that we will marry Zhongling and Yinping when Luoyang is captured. Your Majesty will be invited to witness the marriage at that time." Liu Bei has already set the tone for the whole army to rest and reorganize. He took the opportunity to speak out.

"Me too. Same." Zhang Fei paused halfway, but still said that classic sentence.

Lan Tian looked at Zhang Fei, his eyes were wide open, and he thought to himself, Lao Zhang, are you talking about a bald mouth?Why are you all the same?
Guan Yu and Liu Bei also responded with curious eyes, Zhang Fei scratched his head and explained embarrassingly: "The crown prince will also go to Beijing soon, and my daughter Xingcai will also get married."
