Not long after, the army led by Lu Xuan arrived.
This time Lu Xuan came to garrison outside Ziwu Road, while Liu Xie stayed in Luoyang and did not come to the front line again. Now Liu Xie has been stripped of all his rights and is just a mascot. Although freedom is not restricted, people are being watched.
Cao Cao and Lu Xuan came together.
Lu Xuan and Cao Cao led the army to arrive outside Le Jin's military camp. He was a little surprised to see the camp lined up for defense.
Le Jin actually chose to resist.
Lu Xuan looked at Cao Cao aside and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, I leave it to you to persuade Le Jin to surrender."
Cao Cao said confidently, "Don't worry, leave it to me to make arrangements. Last time, we couldn't persuade Wen Ruo to surrender. That was because Wen Ruo was extremely stubborn. But Le Jin is different. He is my old brother. Follow me. If I say a word, Le Jin will submit."
Lu Xuan said: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."
Cao Cao said calmly: "It's not hard."
Facing Lu Xuan, Cao Cao had the admiration for a junior as a father-in-law, and the admiration and awe of a peer as an opponent.
Lu Xuan's methods are indeed powerful.
During the past few days in Luoyang, Cao Cao even appreciated Lu Xuan's methods of dealing with Sima Fang and Sima Yi.
After Cao Cao established his base in Luoyang, he also arranged for people to conquer Sima Yi, hoping that Sima Yi would work by his side. However, Sima Yi refused due to illness. Because Sima Lang surrendered, Cao Cao did not force him.
Unexpectedly, Sima Yi made the same mistake again.
According to Cao Cao's style, he wanted to show his kingly bearing, so he was more tolerant. Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan sent medicine directly, first a laxative and then a tonic, which made Sima Yi give in.
Although the matter was not made public, it had long been spread privately, and Cao Cao was very happy after hearing it.
This kid Lu Xuan is capable.
Shameless enough!
The shameless targeting of smart-alecks is simply brilliant.
He also wanted to deal with Sima Yi, but he couldn't lose face. Lu Xuan's treatment was very to Cao Cao's liking.
Cao Cao came to the front of the formation, looked at Le Jin at the gate of the camp, and said loudly: "Le Jin, the general trend of the world belongs to the Kingdom of Wu. I have surrendered to the King of Wu. The army in your hand cannot stop me. Surrender."
"surrender!"
Le Jin ordered surrender.
After giving the order, Le Jin ordered his soldiers to throw away their weapons and lead the army out of the camp to join Cao Cao. Then, the troops temporarily formed a formation, and Le Jin and Cao Cao came in front of Lu Xuan and bowed in salute.
Lu Xuan nodded, praised Le Jin, and then ordered Zhou Yu to arrange for someone to take over the army.
When Zhou Yu was making arrangements, Lu Xuan asked: "Le Jin, where are Liu Bei's people?"
Le Jin replied: "Reporting to the King of Wu, Liu Bei went to Liangzhou. When he got the news that King Wu had captured Luoyang, he left first. The last general once persuaded Liu Bei and asked him to stay and submit, but Liu Bei was very stubborn and unwilling Stay. Because Zhang Fei has been protecting him, the general has no chance to take action and can only let Liu Bei leave."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "It looks like we have to continue heading west."
Cao Cao said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei only has 2,000 men. His small number of troops cannot affect the overall situation. If the army kills them, even if Liu Bei escapes to Liangzhou, it will be decided in one battle."
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "My father-in-law is right, we just need to continue heading west. The army will rest for half a day, and early tomorrow morning, we will continue heading west. We will first go to Hongnong to join Zhang He and Gao Lan."
Everyone agreed, and the army entered the camp to rest temporarily.
The army was reorganized, and Zhou Yu was extremely busy.
Lu Xuan was relatively relaxed, because Zhou Yu, Taishi Ci, Zhang Liao and others were responsible for arranging specific matters, and Lu Xuan only had to take charge of the overall situation. The army rested for a day. In the morning of the next day, the army continued westward and successfully arrived at Hongnong.
When Lu Xuan arrived in Hongnong, the troops led by Zhang He and Gao Lan had already captured the county seat.
When the two armies met, Lu Xuan met with Zhang He and Gao Lan. He praised them and affirmed their contribution to the capture of Hongnong. He also met with Yuan Xi, who was with him in Hongnong, and encouraged Yuan Xi to work steadily and with peace of mind. .
The army rested for a while and then continued westward.
All the way west, they reached Chang'an smoothly. In early June, the army led by Lu Xuan arrived in Chencang.
This is the western gateway of the Sili area.
Going south from Chencang, you can take Sanguan to enter Wudu County, that is, take the old Chencang Road to enter Wudu County, and then go to Hanzhong. Lu Xuan did not go to Wudu County because the news came back from Wudu County that the main force of Hanzhong, led by Gan Ning, together with the troops of Zhang Ren, Zhao Yun, Yan Yan and others, entered Wudu County to fight and captured Most areas of Wudu County have an advantage.
Lu Xuan went west along Chencang, into Qian County, and headed towards Longguan, the eastern gateway to Liangzhou.
This is the gateway to Liangzhou.
Yan Xing's main force was stationed at Longguan.
The power of Wudu County was that Yan Xing won over the Yang family of Wudu County, promised Yang family to be the king, and asked Yang family to take the lead in contacting the Qiang and Di people to block the army of Gan Ning and others.
When the army led by Lu Xuan headed towards Longguan.
In Longguan City, there is a garrison camp.
In the Chinese army's tent.
When Yan Xing received the news that Lu Xuan was coming to kill him, his expression became more solemn than ever. His original consideration was that Cao Cao and Lu Xuan were fighting. He would contain Lu Xuan's troops in Yizhou in Liangzhou and weaken Lu Xuan's offensive against Cao Cao.
In this way, Cao Cao will not be destroyed.
As long as Cao Cao is around, Yan Xing will be the king of Xiliang. He only needs to respect Cao Cao on the surface to become the local emperor of Xiliang. The structure of the world is that Cao Cao and Lu Xuan are facing each other, and Yan Xing is in a corner.
Yan Xing did not expect that Cao Cao would be defeated so quickly, and Yuan Shao would die immediately.
All the changes are amazing.
After Yan Xing read the news about Lu Xuan's killing, he invited Zhong Yao over and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhong, Lu Xuan's army is coming. What should we do?"
Zhong Yao came to Liangzhou to operate before, and it was he who assisted Yan Xing in killing Han Sui. Guo Jia returned to Luoyang, but Zhong Yao was still in Liangzhou, because Yan Xing needed someone around him to make suggestions, and Liangzhou needed Zhong Yao's mediation.
Zhong Yao stroked his beard and said: "Lu Xuan's army is coming, Wudu County is gone, and the power of the Yang family cannot stop Gan Ning and others. That means that even if the King of Xiliang takes advantage of the geographical advantage of Longguan , it cannot last, and will definitely fail.”
Yan Xing was a little unwilling and said, "Isn't it possible to rely on Longguan for defense?"
Zhong Yao sighed: "The King of Xiliang participated in the Battle of Hanzhong. Does he know that Lu Xuan has weapons that can fly in the sky?"
"Know!"
Yan Xing nodded.
There was a look of shock on his face, and he sighed: "Lu Xuan's weapons are incredible, but they exist."
Zhong Yao said: "In this case, can we still resist? As long as Lu Xuan takes out such a weapon, Long Pass will be broken. Can the army of the King of Xiliang stop Lu Xuan's army?"
Yan Xing sighed: "I can't stop it!"
After a pause, Yan Xing asked further: "If we want to surrender, what will Liu Bei do?"
Zhong Yao was delighted when he heard Yan Xing's words.
He didn't want Yan Xing to resist.
Zhong Yao was from Yingchuan. People like Xun Yu and Guo Jia had surrendered. The Yingchuan nobles were advancing and retreating together, so he naturally surrendered along with him and was unwilling to continue to resist. Because there is no point in resisting.
When Zhong Yao heard what Yan Xing said, he said directly: "Liu Bei, we can't let them escape. Take Liu Bei and present it to the King of Wu. Or, let him surrender with us."
