How could Liu Bei be? He has been so sophisticated all his life. After Liu Feng said this, he understood. Liu Feng was not here to apologize, but this was clearly here to sue.

"Zheng Fang..." After a moment of silence, he shook his head and sighed: "I don't know how to adapt, but if there is an urgent matter, you can't blame you for this matter."

Since Liu Feng came to the palace, he has always been called a king and a minister. Liu Bei still understood that Liu Feng wanted to retire from the name of father and son, but it was not convenient to say it explicitly. Liu Bei... mentioned it himself in person back then, and now he cannot return, so he did not say it out loud. He just called him no longer called him a son, which was considered a disguised recognition of this.

"It's just a matter of military rations. Shangyong is poor and the food in the government cannot last for too long." Liu Feng bowed.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Prince Liu is here in a hurry, I'm afraid he doesn't know about Luoyang yet, right?"

"Oh?" Liu Feng had already seen Zhuge Liang and bowed and said, "Please tell the Prime Minister."

"Boyuan has cooperated with Junhou to defeat Cao Xiu a few days ago, and successively occupied Luoyang and Hulao. The siege of Junhou has been lifted. There is no need to worry about this." Zhuge Liang smiled.

When Liu Feng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Lord is indeed brave. Since that's the case, I will take my leave."

"No hurry!" Liu Bei waved his hand, got up, and pulled Liu Feng and said, "You have been in Shangyong for many years. Now it is rare for you and my king and minister to gather together. It is not too late to stay in Hanzhong for a few days. On the side of the official side, I will issue an edict to let him concentrate on the battle in Guanzhong and Luoyang's logistics affairs in the future."

"I accept the order!" Liu Feng said gratefully.

Seeing his former adopted son performing like this, Liu Bei sighed, feeling a little reluctant and heartbroken, but he also knew that this was the best result, so let's do it.

...

Outside Yique Pass, Guan Ping's offensive against Sima Yi suddenly stopped.

In two days, the offense and defense between the two sides in the Yangrenju area was really fierce. Guan Ping pushed the newly built catapult car to the battlefield. The main purpose was to smash the dozen catapult cars in Sima Yi's army at all costs.

This was not Liu Yi's order, but Guan Ping felt that if these dozen catapults fell into the hands of the Wei army and were imitated, the harm to the Han Dynasty would not be just a problem with more than a dozen catapults.

As for defeating Sima Yi, Guan Ping lost this idea after the first day of the battle. Sima Yi kept the defense of this camp without missing a trace, and the opponent also had some weapons made by Tiangongfang. Sima Yi dispatched it properly. Basically, the offensive and defensive battles in the past two days were no longer much different from ordinary offensive and defense. Guan Ping could not take advantage of the equipment, and even suffered losses in the issue of siege equipment. After all, the siege equipment made by Liu Yi's disciples was still a certain gap with the siege equipment made by Liu Yi's team. Although the number advantage can be made up, it is impossible to throw the catapult cart into the battlefield at once without placing troops.

In this case, it is a bit difficult to break through Sima Yi, whose troops are still above his own. However, the next night, Guan Ping received an order from Luoyang. According to Liu Yi's plan, Gucheng's troops could be ignored first and work together to remove Sima Yi's team. It would be best to capture Sima Yi and finally pay attention to Gucheng's troops.

Guan Yu had already set out from Huzhu and was about to leave Xuanyuan Pass and attack Sima Yi with Guan Ping.

Therefore, Guan Ping chose to stop, and to rest, and to wait for Guan Yu to come, and to defeat Sima Yi in one fell swoop. He believed that his father and son would join forces to defeat Sima Yi.

However, it was this pause that made Sima Yi realize something was wrong.

"The General has not sent a message yet?" After watching the Han army camp, Sima Yi returned to the camp and invited Yue Lin and Zhang Hu to ask.

"Never before, the messenger we sent to Luoyang has not returned yet." Zhang Hu shook his head and said.

"What happened, Zhang Hu, quickly transport the equipment seized from the Han army from the general to Jia County. Lelin, go to the army to make flags and straw men, and send scouts to intercept the scouts who were built by the Han army in this area. Don't let them find out that our army is evacuated." Sima Yi said in a deep voice.

"This..." Le Lin and Zhang Hu were stunned when they heard this, and hesitated: "General, why is this?"

"Regularly speaking, the Han army had no food and grass, so we shouldn't stop and rest at this moment, but we were fighting hard to attack the camp. But at this moment, Guan Yu suddenly stopped, which means that the other party was not worried about food and grass. In addition, Luoyang is the territory of our army, so how could the sent people have disappeared? I'm afraid that there will be changes in Luoyang. We retreat to Jia County first, wait and see what changes will happen, and then make plans!" Sima Yi said in a deep voice.

"Even so, the situation in Luoyang is unclear. Our army is not inferior to the Han army now, so why should we retreat?" Zhang Hu frowned.

"If Luoyang really changes, it will probably be too late to withdraw. Don't be lucky!" Sima Yi shook his head: "The Han army equipment seized this time is of great significance to our army, and there is no need to be misunderstood!"

The Han army's equipment was too strong, so it was no wonder that during the period of fighting with Guan Yu, the Wei army retreated step by step, and even Yique Pass was captured by Guan Yu for three days. The Wei must prepare for this early, otherwise, the next time they meet the Han army, they will still end in a disastrous defeat.

"But General..." Zhang Hu wanted to say that if Sima Yi guessed wrong, wouldn't he put Cao Xiu in a dangerous place?

"Retreat to Jia County, we can still block the food supply route of the Han army. Moreover, Jia County is backed by Yingchuan, and can attack and defend. If the general is safe, we can still cut off the food supply of the Guanyu. If the general is in trouble, we can at least retain some vitality." Sima Yi's face turned solemn and said in a deep voice: "This is a military order. Any accidents will be borne by me. The two generals will just follow the orders."

If it were other commanders, how could the soldiers under the tent question this way? However, Sima Yi was not an ordinary person after all. Zhang Hu and Le Jing were not ordinary generals, so he explained it in detail.

Zhang Hu and Le Guan looked at each other and had to follow the orders. At that time, they began to move away large equipment according to Sima Yi's orders, and then began to set up flags in various places in the camp on the grounds of strengthening the fortifications, so that Guan Ping in the opposite army could not see clearly the reality and at the same time, they sent a large number of scouts to drive away the scouts of the Han army or siege them.

Guan Ping didn't know what Sima Yi was going to do for a moment, but just ordered people to strictly guard the situation and wait for Guan Yu's army to arrive and jointly attack Sima Yi's camp.

This confrontation lasted until dawn the next day. Guan Ping received the news from Guan Yu, and he had arrived. He led his army to fight to prepare for the attack on the camp. However, this time, he was not blocked at all and easily captured the gate and opened the camp gate.

"General!" Zhou Cang quickly walked to Guan Ping and said in a deep voice: "There is no one in the camp, and the camp is full of straw men. The bandit army has retreated to Jia County."

When Guan Ping heard this, his face changed and he quickly led his army along the Rushui to pursue him. However, in the Liang County area, he encountered Sima Yi's ambush. After losing many people, he had no choice but to retreat. After returning, he was about to meet the army that Guan Yu rushed over.

"The last general's battle is unfavorable. Sima Yi is gone and ask the Lord to sue him!" Guan Ping knelt in front of Guan Yu and said in a deep voice.

There is no father and son in the army. In the army, father and son have always been called by official names.

"This person is alert!" Guan Yu sighed when he heard this, looking at the arrow clusters that were inserted on his son's shoulder, shook his head and said, "You are indeed careless in this battle. Go to the military doctor to cure the arrow sores, and then get thirty military sticks!"

"Mr., this..." Zhou Cang stepped forward and tried to dissuade him. There were not many thirty military sticks, but the military sticks in the army were different from the county magistrate's usual beating. After the thirty military sticks, those with weaker physiques could be killed directly.

"Huh?" Guan Yu glared at Zhou Cang as coldly as lightning, and Zhou Cang stopped talking.

Guan Yu has always been strict with Guan Ping, but perhaps it is precisely because of this that Guan Ping's ability is closest to Guan Yu, especially in the past two years, whether in martial arts or military leadership, Guan Ping has become the first military general of the new generation.

"The last general will take the order!" Guan Ping nodded, stood up and went to find Jun to treat his injuries.

Sima Yi retreated to Jia County and fought again, the front line would be longer. Now that he had obtained the Heluo land was beyond expectations, Guan Yu still understood the principle that he could not eat too much, so he ignored Sima Yi for the time being and was ready to settle the Luoyang incident first, and then it depends on the situation.

Luoyang, Hulao, Yique Pass, Xuanyuan Pass and other places were successively acquired by the Han army. Yanshi, Qian family, Pingxian and Gongxian were defeated, and the Heluo situation was destined and there were no defenders themselves, so they surrendered one after another.

Guan Yu left Guanping to guard Yique Pass, and led his troops to Gucheng with Pang De. At the same time, Liu Yi also led his army to meet with Guan Yu.

"Wang Ping, the Gucheng garrison, was promoted to a side general after he followed Cao Cao to attack Hanzhong in his early years. He has some skills. He can send someone to try to surrender this person." In the tent, Liu Yi and Guan Yu sat on the throne together. Judging from the information obtained, the name of the guard Wang Ping made Liu Yi feel a little familiar. Isn't this the general in the late Shu Han period in history?

According to history, this should be from the Han camp, so Liu Yi instinctively felt that this person could surrender and even be of great use in the future.

However, what made Liu Yi frown was that Wang Ping did not surrender, but chose to defend himself and live and die with Gucheng.

Gucheng is already an empty city, and it is not difficult to break through Gucheng, but what Liu Yi likes the most is Wang Ping, and he doesn’t understand why Wang Ping did not surrender?

The next day, he personally put on his helmet and armor to come to the city to ask Wang Ping.

"Mr. Mo is kind, Wang Ping is grateful. However, the general treats someone well. Now that the general is dead, how can Ping surrender to the enemy?" Wang Ping stood on the city wall and shouted loudly.

Liu Yi understood in his heart that when Wang Ping surrendered in history, he did not have much sense of belonging to Cao Wei, and he was not even valued. However, now, Wang Ping was able to lead the army alone, which was obviously highly valued by Cao Xiu. Moreover, from Liu Bei's guarding Hanzhong to the present, nearly ten years have passed, and a sense of belonging has long been established. At this time, Wang Ping had already belonged to Cao Wei, not to the Han Dynasty. It would be difficult for such a person to surrender.

After understanding this, Liu Yi was reluctant, but he could not keep consuming it. After returning to the formation, he no longer stopped him and allowed Guan Yu to send troops to attack the city.

In order to ambush Liu Yi, Wang Ping brought tens of thousands of troops, but at this moment he was trapped in Gucheng. After struggling to fight for three days, Gucheng was opened and surrendered by the defenders. The Han army took advantage of the situation to invade Wang Ping and captured Wang Ping alive. The Battle of Heluo ended here!
