Sima Fang ignored Sima Xun who was stunned by the side. He sighed in his heart, sat down, stared at Liu Chuang with a bright look...

After a long time, he whispered: "Meng Yan, why are you here this time?"

Liu Chuang knew very well that he could not make fake things in front of Sima Fang.

This is an old cunning man who can do things without any loss... If you want to be fooled in front of him, you will only be fooled by him in the end. Therefore, instead of being fooled with Sima Fang, it is better to go straight to the point and perhaps easier to achieve his goals.

"Chuangji is here just to ask my uncle to help me!"

Sima Fang's heart trembled, and his eyes suddenly became particularly sharp.

He said in a deep voice: "But I don't know how Meng Yan wants me to help you?"

Liu Chuang looked up at Sima Fang, "I want to ask my uncle to help me seize the Hulao Pass..."

"ah?"

Sima Xun was shocked and couldn't help but let out a soft cry.

However, after Sima Fang glared at him, Sima Xun immediately closed his mouth, but he still felt inexplicably shocked in his heart.

"You can't even attack the Huzhu, why should I help you?"

"I can't conquer Hulao, but I don't want to delay it for too long... If I get help from my uncle, I can take down Hulao Pass without blood. But if I don't have my uncle's help, the blood flows into a river under Hulao Pass, and I will lose my troops and generals. Although it is inevitable that death or injury will be inevitable during the war. Whether it is Hulao's soldiers or soldiers under my command, they are all people of the Han Dynasty. I just don't want the Han family to kill each other."

"Yeah?"

"certainly!"

Sima Fang smiled, "But when Meng Yan did this, he put my Sima family at the forefront of the storm and had no way out.

I can help you, but how can you guarantee the safety of my Sima family? You must know that there are still Cao** garrisons in Guanzhong. Once I help you accomplish things, the Sima family will have to fight to the death with Cao's army. If at that time, I don't know where my reinforcements are?"

Liu Chuang also laughed...

"What my uncle is thinking about is nothing but the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong.

But if I told my uncle that the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong are not worth worrying, I wonder how my uncle would think?"

Sima Fang couldn't help but feel a different meaning in his eyes, "What does Meng Yan mean?"

"My uncle doesn't need to ask questions, and he will find out after three days."

Three days...

Could it be that my cousin means that he can seize Guanzhong within three days?

Sima Xun couldn't help but show an expression of disbelief... Tens of thousands of troops were stationed in Guanzhong, and there were even generals like Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to guard it. How could they easily occupy it? You know, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan might not be as good as Xiahou Dun in terms of martial arts, but if they were talented, they were better than Xiahou Dun. The two worked together to guard Guanzhong. Even if Liu Chuang's subordinates were brave and good at fighting, it would not be so easy to seize Guanzhong.

Sima Fang was silent!

He thought for a long time and said softly: "What Meng Yan said should be decided after the third day."

"Since that's the case, then we will discuss this matter after the third day!"

Liu Chuang knew that Sima Fang's decision was not shirked, but out of a cautious mentality. After all, Luoyang was still under Cao **'s jurisdiction. Liu Chuang asked Sima Fang to help him, but he was nothing more than letting him occupy Luoyang, leaving the entire Heluo area in turmoil.

If Luoyang is lost, Heluo will be in chaos.

When Heluo is in chaos, the Hulao defenders will also fall into trouble.

At that time, as long as Liu Chuang strengthens his offensive against Hulao, Cao Peng will definitely not persist for too long.

However, once Sima Fang initiated an incident in Luoyang, he would inevitably face a siege... Sima Fang didn't have to worry about other passes. After all, with Liu Chuang in Hulao, Cao's army would not be able to draw too many people. However, the Cao army in Guanzhong had to consider it. If Guanzhong troops came out of the pass, Luoyang would inevitably be trapped in a siege. Even if Sima Fang controlled Luoyang, he would not be able to withstand it.

He can suppress the powerful people in Luoyang in a short period of time, but once Cao's army comes to the city, disasters may be suppressed.

Sima Fang thought it very carefully, but he didn't expect that Liu Chuang had already thought of countermeasures for him...

The soldiers and horses in Guanzhong are not worth worrying about?

Sima Fang couldn't help but become curious. He wanted to know how Liu Chuang could solve the threat from Guanzhong.

"You must not disclose what Meng Yan came here, even if it is your eldest brother, you cannot tell me."

After settling down on Liu Chuang and Lu Yu, Sima Fang called Sima Kui and Sima Xun and warned him carefully, "Let's see what happens in Guanzhong after the third day."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

To be honest, Liu Chuang came to Luoyang and had no choice but to do it.

The battle at Hulao Pass became more and more fierce. Cao Peng and Xiahou Dun was in charge of Hulao, and his attitude was even more firm... and Cao ** had already returned to Xudu from the white horse. According to news from the Huangge spies in Xudu City, Cao ** obviously planned to set up heavy troops in Guandu and fight to the death with Liu Chuang. For this reason, Cao ** was constantly dispatching troops and generals and began to make arrangements... As for why Cao ** chose Guandu as the battlefield, on the one hand, Guandu was not far from Xu, which facilitated the smooth flow of food channels, and on the other hand, it was because he had defeated Yuan Shao here five years ago... Most ancient people had a superstitious mentality. Perhaps in Cao **'s view, the Guandu battlefield was his blessing land.

Five years ago, he could defeat Yuan Shao in Guandu.

Now, he can win again in Guandu...

If we talk about the difference between these two Guandu battles, it is probably because Cao ** had carefully planned the battle against Yuan Shao, but now he hastily responded.

The longer the time goes on, the more perfect Cao**’s preparations will be.

The more perfect Cao ** prepares, the greater the pressure Liu Chuang will be... Of course, Liu Chuang does not want Cao ** to end the dispatch of troops and generals and then fight with him.

In other words, Cao ** could afford to delay this second battle of Guandu, but Liu Chuang could not.

After all, he did not have a long time to live in Hebei, and his foundation was not as stable as Cao ** in Henan. If the war dragged on for a long time, there would be chaos in Hebei. This was definitely not the result that Liu Chuang hoped to see, so after thinking twice, he decided to come to Luoyang to find Sima Fang to help him.

Originally, no one agreed with Liu Chuang coming in person.

However, Liu Chuang believed that if Sima Fang did not show enough sincerity, Sima Fang would not agree. After thinking about it, he could only convince Sima Fang to come to see Sima Fang in person to persuade Sima Fang to initiate an uprising in Luoyang.

Danger?

Maybe there are some... But how many dangerous things have he experienced since his rebirth?

He has entered the dragon pond and tiger den a lot, and he will not be afraid of a small Luoyang. Of course, Liu Chuang did not come to Luoyang without hesitation. Since he dared to come, he was naturally sure. Sima Fang's attitude was very ambiguous and did not give Liu Chuang a definite answer. However, since Sima Fang was willing to wait for three days, it means that in Sima Fang's heart, he had already turned to Liu Chuang.

Three days passed quietly like this.

Liu Chuang changed his appearance and lived in the back garden. Except for Sima Fang and Sima Kui brothers, even Sima Lang didn't know much about it...

No wonder Sima Fang slowed down Sima Lang.

He knows his eldest son very well.

This is a decisive thing. If he knew that Liu Chuang was at home, he would have fought against Liu Chuang without hesitation.

After all, Sima Lang and Liu Chuang have no intersection, and even in Sima Lang's heart, there is no relative like Liu Chuang at all.

On this occasion, Sima Fang reads a book in the house.

In three days, he did not see Liu Chuang again, nor did he ask anyone about Liu Chuang. He just wanted to see what the situation would be like after three days as Liu Chuang said. However, just as he was reading a book, Sima Lang rushed in in panic.

"Father, something is wrong!"

Sima Fang felt aroused, and raised his head and asked, "Boda, why are you so panicked?"

Sima Lang obviously came back in a hurry, running out of breath.

He took a few breaths, tried to calm himself down, and then said in a deep voice: "Just received the news that the Xiliang army conquered Yumi and was in the vicinity of Qi County."

"ah?"

Even though Sima Fang was mentally prepared, he was still extremely shocked when he heard Sima Lang say it.

"Then Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan..."

"The Western Liang army used the strategy of attacking the west and Xu Shu was feinting the attack on Qi County in front, but in fact he set up an ambush at Fanxukou to lure General Xiahou...

In the battle of Fanxukou, Ziyi was killed by Zhao Yun.

Under the city of Feng County, Miaocai was also captured alive by the Xiliang army... After Zixiao received the news, he quickly returned to Chang'an and ordered Cao Zhen to station in Qixian County. However, the Xiliang army had a very fierce attack, and Cao Zhen could not resist it in just three days. Now, Zixiao has set up heavy troops in Maoling and Huaili, and sent Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu to Wugong to pick up Cao Zidan... Judging from this situation, I am afraid that Zixiao will not last long in Guanzhong."

After hearing this, Sima Fang remained silent for a long time.

He closed his eyes, as if he was sleeping, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Meng De's efforts for more than ten years may have to be burned.

Meng Yan is now wielding the might of Guanzhong's victory, and Hulao Pass will definitely not last long... If I don't make my position, I'm afraid he will feel a grudge. Now, it's unlikely that I will be able to get along with others. Since that's the case, I can only take a risk.

Thinking of this, Sima Fang sat up straight.

He was about to speak, but he heard footsteps coming outside the house.

Sima Kui and Sima Xun hurried in, both of them seemed very panicked, but after entering the room, they still saluted Sima Fang respectfully.

"Father, I just heard the news that Xingyang was lost."

"What?"

Sima Lang couldn't help but shout out loud, looking at Sima Kui and said, "Jida, do this matter seriously?"

Sima Kui said: "Be serious... I just heard from someone outside, saying... Uncle Liu was under the tent of Emperor Liu, and then Zhang He set up an ambush on the way. He suddenly launched a sneak attack while Xu Gongming led his troops to Ao Cang for assistance, defeating Xu Huang, and then taking the opportunity to occupy Xingyang."

"What's the situation in Huzhu?"

"There is no news from Hulao Pass yet, but if Uncle Liu gets Xingyang, it is equivalent to blocking the enemy in the east and will definitely launch a full-scale attack on Hulao. Although Cao Youxue and General Xiahou are good at fighting, they may not last long under this situation."

After saying that, Sima Kui stopped looking at Sima Lang, but turned his attention to Sima Fang.

Sima Lang said: "No, if this continues, Huzhu will inevitably be in danger... I will send troops to Huzhu to support him."

"Berda!"

Just as Sima Lang turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly heard Sima Fang call him, "You are sick, don't participate in this matter again."

"ah?"

Sima Lang turned around and looked at Sima Fang, showing a look of doubt.

But Sima Fang did not explain and said to Sima Kui: "Jida, I will send your elder brother back to his room to rest. I will not be allowed to order me, and no one will be allowed to meet him."

"Father!"

"I'm not going quickly..." (To be continued.)
