The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms
Page 631
Lu Bu advised him that there is a high probability that a good bird will choose a tree to live in. He can persuade Hao Meng to surrender and directly open the gate of Hulao Pass.
In this way, it is not impossible to win without a fight and capture Hulao Pass.
"Does this Hao Meng have the heart to surrender?"
After Liu Zheng heard Lu Bu's words, he quickly became excited, and then asked Lu Bu a question.
After all, if Hao Meng could really surrender, Liu Zheng would be happy to see such a scene.
When Lu Bu heard Liu Zheng's question, he didn't give Liu Zheng an affirmative answer, but shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, I don't know either. After all, although Hao Meng and I had some friendship back then, I have been away from Bingzhou for so many years now."
"Farewell to Hao Meng, I don't know if the friendship back then is still counted, but I think there is always nothing wrong with trying. In case Hao Meng intends to surrender, we can also avoid a big battle."
As soon as Lu Bu said what he said, Guo Jia immediately agreed.
"What General Fengxian said is very true. There is no problem in trying this matter. If Hao Meng really surrenders, then we can take down Hulaoguan without a single soldier."
Seeing that Guo Jia agreed with Lu Bu's suggestion, Liu Zheng naturally had no opinion.
"Okay, since that's the case, follow what General Fengxian said, and immediately contact Hao Meng in that city."
Lu Bu immediately took orders, and began to lead the troops to fight outside Hulao Pass.
Lu Bu didn't intend to attack Hulao Pass, so the people brought over this time were just a few personal soldiers.
If they lead a large army here to call for battle, I'm afraid it will easily lead to misunderstanding, and only by coming alone can Hao Meng in the city come out to talk with Lu Bu.
After Lu Bu appeared here, he immediately shouted at Hulaoguan Tower.
"The guard on the top of the wall is General Hao Meng?"
Lu Bu yelled several times in a row, and finally a person emerged from the battlements upstairs.
A man wearing a helmet and armor showed his face from the battlements, and responded condescendingly to Lu Bu who was downstairs.
"I don't know who it is? It's General Lu Bu!"
"I haven't seen General Lu Bu for a few years, but now he is more and more powerful. I heard that the general is highly valued by Liu Zheng. How did he get locked up in Hulao now?"
Hao Meng also knew about Lu Bu's news.
He even heard about some deeds of Lu Bu under Liu Zheng, and he is no stranger to Liu Zheng and Lu Bu's current behavior, but he is a general of the Han Dynasty after all.
It is obviously not in his character to directly surrender.
After all, even if it is a surrender, the other party may not be willing to accept him, and it seems to be a drop in price.
But if the enemy army came to persuade him to surrender and he was surrendering, this would be a bargaining price.
What's more, such words are more valued, and they will not be looked down upon.
At this moment, when he saw Lu Bu under the tower, he vaguely guessed what Lu Bu was thinking.
Knowing that Lu Bu intended to persuade him to surrender, he was willing to come out and talk to Lu Bu.
"Hao Meng, you are my part, and now I am loyal to His Majesty Liu Zheng, why don't you abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and follow me for a future?"
"His Majesty's army has now reached Hulao Pass, and the Han court has already existed in name only. If you persist in your obsession, you will only have a dead end."
Lu Bu has a mediocre mind, he can think of persuading Hao Meng to surrender is already very good, but persuading Hao Meng to surrender is very ordinary, just a few words.
To put it simply, it means that if you want to, you will surrender, and if you don't want to, you will die.
Anyway, it is domineering.
In line with Lu Bu's personality.
Hao Meng, who is familiar with Lu Bu's character, doesn't know the truth of what Lu Bu said to him at this moment.
When Liu Zheng's army reached the Hulao Pass, Hao Meng was afraid. Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops suffered heavy losses and disappeared. This made Hao Meng understand that the big man has no soldiers and horses, and the battle will continue.
It can be said that Hulao Pass is the last line of defense. If Hulao Pass is lost, Liu Zheng's army can drive straight in and go directly to Luoyang.
But if this is the case, Luoyang's troops can't stop Liu Zheng's attack at all, and only defeat awaits them.
How could Hao Meng, who was able to guard the Hulao pass, not know about this.
"The general is my old master. Hao Meng is willing to sacrifice the city, but can the general really protect me?"
Hao Meng is only looking for a way to survive, a future that can be promoted to a noble, a marquis and a general.
When Lu Bu heard what Hao Meng said, a smile immediately appeared on his face. After all, there is a possibility of persuading him to surrender. As long as Hao Meng can surrender, he can say anything.
"Don't worry, I will guarantee your life and tell His Majesty that you surrendered on your own initiative, and His Majesty will reward you when the time comes!"
It's a joke, if Hao Meng can win the Hulao Pass without any effort, this Hao Meng is indeed worthy of Liu Zheng's award. It is not impossible to give him an official position and a small title.
With Lu Bu's guarantee, a smile appeared on Hao Meng's face.
"Okay, Marquis Wen, the last general will order people to open the city gates to welcome His Majesty's army into the city!"
After the negotiation was settled, the next thing was simple. The gate of Hulao Gate was slowly opened, and Lu Bu immediately asked Tai Shici to lead the troops in to take over Hulao Gate.
Neither Liu Zheng nor Guo Jia expected that the Hulao Pass would be taken down like this.
The first thousand 320 chapters nine Luoyang shock
Tai Shici was ordered to enter Hulao Pass, but Hao Meng's men did not stop him, after all the gate of Hulao Pass was opened, and there were only three thousand soldiers in this pass.
Even if there are any conspiracies and tricks, they are all futile in the face of absolute military strength.
After Tai Shici took over Hulao Pass, Hao Meng took off his armor and followed Lu Bu to meet Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng met the guard Hao Meng in Hulao Pass.
In fact, Liu Zheng still has a little impression of Hao Meng. This person is one of Lu Bu's eight strong generals in history, but because of Yuan Shu's instigation, he betrayed Lu Bu after gaining some strength in history.
The mutiny was launched, and Lu Bu who was beaten could only hide in the toilet and escaped.
This is also the case, and it can be seen from the side that this person still has some strength.
Today's Hao Meng is naturally different from the one in history.
After Ding Yuan and Lu Bu led their troops to leave Bingzhou, Hao Meng, as a general under Lu Bu's command, naturally replaced Lu Bu in guarding Bingzhou. Later, Ding Yuan and Lu Bu died and surrendered.
Hao Meng's guarding of Bingzhou was gradually appreciated by the court, mainly because the court really had no soldiers and horses, and a battle-tested general like Hao Meng could naturally be reused.
Became the guard of Hulao Pass.
Now surrendering to Liu Zheng, not to mention the promotion of Hao Meng, at least give Hao Meng the same treatment to make him return to his heart.
"The surrendered general Hao Meng has seen His Majesty."
Hao Meng didn't expect to see Liu Zheng here just after surrendering.
After all, not many people know about Liu Zheng's presence here. Even Liu Bei only knows that Liu Zheng sent an army over, but he didn't come in person.
"General Hao Meng, who has been famous for a long time, it is my blessing to be able to abandon the dark and turn to the bright."
Although a general like Hao Meng may not even rank in the top [-] under Liu Zheng's command, the situation is different, and Hao Meng's role is also different.
When Liu Zheng said this to Hao Meng, it was just a few polite words.
Hao Meng was quite happy when he heard Liu Zheng's words. At least from Liu Zheng's tone, he could tell that Liu Zheng didn't hate him.
Hao Meng is also very satisfied as long as he can follow Lu Bu, join Liu Zheng together, and have a half-time job in Liu Zheng's empire in the future, with a great future.
"The sinner should have taken refuge with His Majesty a long time ago. He didn't come until now. I hope His Majesty will not blame him."
"It doesn't matter. As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to be lucky. Timing is very important."
Liu Zheng chatted with Hao Meng for a few words, and soon promised Hao Meng the position of colonel, and directly obeyed Lu Bu, serving as the deputy general under Lu Bu.
After occupying Hulao Pass, things here become easier.
Liu Zheng didn't even let Lu Bu and others stay here longer, but only left 4 soldiers and horses to garrison Hulao Pass, and almost all of the remaining [-] troops were dispatched to Luoyang.
The purpose of Liu Zheng's surprise attack on Hulao Pass this time was to go to Luoyang.
As long as Luoyang is occupied and the little emperor is brought into his own hands, the lingering Han court will completely fall apart.
Liu Bei, Liu Zhang and his ilk have no room for turning around.
Liu Zheng can take care of them slowly.
Tai Shici and Gan Ning acted as vanguards and led the army to approach Luoyang. In fact, when Liu Zheng's men reached Hulao Pass, the news had already passed through some traders and reached Luoyang.
Luoyang City at this time.
Already panicked.
Luoyang Palace.
The little emperor Liu Bian was slumped on the dragon chair, and all the civil and military officials below were panicked.
"What to do, those people have been beaten to Hulao."
"It's over, it's over, Luoyang has less than [-] defenders, and those soldiers and horses of the imperial court were taken away by the general Liu Bei!"
"I have long said that Liu Bei is unreliable, but now it is good. He brought all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court and gathered so many people, but he still couldn't beat Liu Zheng. Now he is still killed by Liu Zheng's men and horses, endangering the whole world. The court is here!"
Above the main hall, those civil servants and military generals started arguing here.
Some people complained that Liu Bei was useless. He led the 10,000+ army and took the initiative to attack Liu Zheng. Not only did he fail to win Liu Zheng, but he also angered Liu Zheng. Now even Luoyang is not guaranteed.
Someone here reprimanded Liu Zheng for being too rampant, for daring to go deep alone, and the soldiers approached Hulao Pass.
Some people don't think that Liu Zheng has the ability to break into Luoyang and break the Hulao Pass with just this manpower.
It's just that someone talked about what happened ten years ago.
Of course, among these people, there are still memories. They deeply remember what happened ten years ago, when Liu Zheng dared to come to Luoyang with only a few thousand soldiers.
Now that there are tens of thousands of people, is it difficult to question Liu Zheng's strength?
Xun You, Fu Wan, Zhong Ji and the others were silent, and they had nothing to do at this moment. After all, this was a confrontation between two groups, and the big man was already at the end of his battle.
There are no more troops, and they can be used to fight Liu Zheng.
The people below were arguing fiercely, which made the little emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair a little impatient.
"enough!"
Liu Bian yelled and shocked all the people who were arguing below.
The hall, which was still noisy just now, immediately became silent.
Many ministers calmed down and began to look at Liu Bian.
"Your Majesty, now that the enemy army has arrived at Hulao Pass, the veteran feels that we should move our capital to Chang'an."
Situ Wangyun stood up and said something to the little emperor.
The last time Wang Yun experienced the panic of being attacked by Liu Zheng in Luoyang, he never wanted to experience that kind of scene a second time in his life.
The last time it was because Liu Zheng was not strong enough, so he just came and left, but this time it was different.
Once Liu Zheng came to Luoyang, there was no reinforcements in Luoyang, waiting for these civil and military ministers in the palace, there was only one result, and that was a dead end.
These ministers are all ghosts, and they are not willing to sacrifice their lives. They can only persuade the little emperor to leave the palace in Luoyang.
But the little emperor smiled lightly.
"Move the capital? Hahaha, where else can we move?"
"It's difficult to go to Chang'an, so you won't be attacked by Liu Zheng's army?"
"How far is Luoyang from Chang'an?"
One sentence from the little emperor made Wang Yun's words, and there was no next sentence.
"Let's fight, let's fight. Liu Zheng should have killed me ten years ago, and let me live for another ten years. In the past ten years, I have been thinking about how to revive the big man. Unfortunately, now it seems that God I didn't intend to hand over the important task of revitalizing the great man to me."
"Sometimes, when I think about it, maybe Liu Zheng is not a bad person, are you right?"
The little emperor Liu Bian glanced at the important officials present, and couldn't help but think of Liu Zheng. He had met Liu Zheng ten years ago.
The first thousand and 330 chapters
When Liu Zheng entered Luoyang, Liu Bian was only eight or nine years old. At that time, the young Liu Bian was plundered out of the palace by Liu Zheng.
At that time, Liu Bian hated Liu Zheng very much, because Liu Bian originally had a happy family, but it was because of Liu Zheng's sudden appearance that disrupted his happiness.
