Although Wu Yi has not been highly valued since he joined Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao is quite good to him. After all, he still has his abilities. Moreover, when Ye Zhao attacked the Shu family, Wu Yi not only did not say anything, but even chose to support Ye Zhao.

No matter what he thought at the beginning, Ye Zhao was quite taking care of those who supported him. Although Wu Yi later wanted to send his sister to Ye Zhao's mansion and be a concubine, Ye Zhao refused. After all, the woman gave her too many political elements, and Ye Zhao didn't want it. However, Ye Zhao did not reject Wu Yi because of this. Even after supporting Liu Bian ascended the throne, he helped Wu Yi get the title of Tinghou.

But Wu Yi was not happy. Compared with those of Ye Zhao's current confidants, his status was far inferior. Not to mention others, Guan Yu, who was recruited by Ye Zhao at the time of Ye Zhao's wedding, not only had he already reached the position of the county marquis, but his son Guan Ping was also named the marquis of Ting, and was equal to himself in terms of titles, not to mention the first people who followed Ye Zhao, such as Ding Li, Guan Hai, Xi Zhicai, Fang Yue, Zhao Yun, and Xu Rong, all of them were county marquis.

Even Dian Wei's reckless man was awarded the title of Tinghou every day just following Ye Zhao, which made Wu Yi very unhappy. His ability... was indeed a bit inferior, but this did not mean that he was convinced.

Thinking about how respectful Wu Yi was and how relied and relied on him when he was under Liu Yan. Although he is much higher than before, Ye Zhao is almost incomparable to the power of Liu Yan in the past.

Now, seeing Ye Zhao leading a group of counselors and generals showing off his strength at Hulao Pass, he could only wave the flag and shout in Mengjin, which made Wu Yi feel very uncomfortable.

If Mengjin's location is indeed absolutely right, but basically, there is no war here. Without war, it means that he cannot obtain merit. Under Ye Zhao's command, civil officials rely on political achievements and military generals rely on merit. To obtain a higher status, ability is of course important, but merit is the key to promotion. Ye Zhao has been in Luoyang for almost three months. There are wars happening every day outside Hulao Pass, but Mengjin is so bored that he can't imagine anything other than sleeping. Not to mention the thief army, in this winter, where birds do not shit, it is difficult to get a few wild game and eat meat.

Wu Yi's daily life is either sleeping or eating. After more than two months, he gained weight and his vigilance was almost worn out by the peaceful Mengjin City. Even though Ye Zhao had sent him three times to tell him about the importance of Mengjin, in this comfortable environment, and with his somewhat resentment towards Ye Zhao, it was fine at the beginning, but over time, his vigilance was almost exhausted.

Therefore, when Xiahou Yuan suddenly came to Mengjin, Wu Yi did not react until he stepped on the ice to attack the city.

It’s not a big deal that he reacted slowly. Although Meng Jin is quite famous, he is actually a small ferry-shaped level. If the river water is not frozen, it is impossible for the enemy to come directly without Meng Jin’s response. So when Wu Yi learned that the city gate was broken, he was a little confused.

"Kill~" Wu Yi, who reacted, quickly grabbed the sword and walked out, trying to summon soldiers to drive Cao's army out, but just as the door opened, the city was already in chaos.

He rushed out of the gate with his personal guards and saw the sound of shouting and killing. The Guanzhong Army was also brave. Even after being accidentally broken by the enemy, his morale did not collapse because of this. Even without the command of the chief general, they still launched an attack without fear of death.

This is also the difference between Ye Zhao's army and others. Ye Zhao's army gradually goes too far in the direction of professionalization, while other princes, including most of the troops under Cao Cao, follow the Han system and the people are obliged to join the army. Among them, there is no military pay except for food.

Ye Zhao is gradually professionalizing the army. He only needs to receive training on weekdays. In addition to serving food, he also has military pay. Moreover, training on weekdays is a confrontation without generals. So even if Wu Yi is lazy, once he encounters war, the soldiers in the city can still fight spontaneously without the command of the general.

Of course, when the situation is hopeless, it will still be defeated. Not to mention now, even if the situation is one-sided in a war that has been pushed back for two thousand years, even if the situation is one-sided, even the professional army will also be defeated. Although Mengjin's defenders are brave and regular, they are divided and surrounded by Cao's army who have been rushed into the city after losing the help of the city wall. Although they are still resisting, the defeat is determined.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Wu Yi felt that his hands and feet were cold. He finally had a war, but the ending of breaking the city was unacceptable to him.

"Kill~" Wu Yi is unimaginable. Surrendering to Cao's army is impossible. This is different from when he was in Shu. When Ye Zhao captured Mianzhu Pass, Liu Yan was almost done. Now even if Cao's army was allowed to conquer Luoyang, Ye Zhao could still retreat to Hangu Pass to fight. Wu Yi's family was all in Chang'an. How could he retreat at this time?

In order to succeed in this surprise attack, Xiahou Yuan drew 3,000 troops and crossed the river to attack Mengjin. What he did not expect was that Mengjin's only 800 defenders killed nearly 1,000 troops under the city being broken and without the command of the general. Although the overall situation was decided, Xiahou Yuan had a new assessment of the combat effectiveness of the Guanzhong soldiers.

No matter how many defenders there are in Luoyang, based on the combat strength of the Mengjin defenders, it is absolutely impossible to capture the remaining two thousand troops in his hands.

Fortunately, after having a confrontation with the Han army outside Xingyang City, Xiahou Yuan did not dare to be strong. Not only did he bring 3,000 elite troops, but there were also 8,000 Henoi garrisons on the other side of the river. After breaking through the city, Xiahou Yuan had already ordered people to inform the army to cross the river.

At the southern gate of Mengjin, when Xiahou Yuan had occupied the city, he found that there were still remnants of the central army here. When he arrived with his personal soldiers, he saw hundreds of Cao's army surrounding more than ten Guanzhong soldiers in the center.

On the ground, dozens of corpses were upside down, but more of them were from the Central Army, but more of them were from the Cao Army. The death was so tragic that Xiahou Yuan twitched his mouth. Those who could maintain such combat effectiveness during the defeat were probably the only ones in the world that could be done by the Central Army.

Although the remaining dozen Guanzhong soldiers had a small number, they had a tacit understanding of spears and short swords, which forced hundreds of Cao troops to attack.

"Retreat!" Xiahou Yuan looked at the Guanzhong army in front of him. Although the number of people was small, his resilience was only seen in his life. It was really hard to imagine how an army could do this?

In the crowd, Xiahou Yuan saw a general who looked like a general, sitting on the back of a horse, pointed his gun at the other party and said loudly: "I am Xiahou Yuan, the general under the Sikong tent, and the general is a common name!"

"I am Wu Yi, the general of the Prime Minister's tent!" Wu Yi took a deep breath and said loudly to Xiahou Yuan.

Wu Yi?

Xiahou Yuan said he had never heard of it, but it was a bit of skill to be able to fight to this level under such circumstances. He immediately said loudly: "God has the virtue of living a life. As long as General Wu is willing to surrender, I am willing to recommend the general to Sikong!"

When Wu Yi heard this, he sneered: "If a child succeeds, he will not know that the world is rich. Although Mengjin is broken today, you will not live for three days. How dare you speak here!"

When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he was too lazy to talk nonsense. He raised his hand and hundreds of archers stepped forward, bent his bow and arrows, aiming the arrow cluster at Wu Yi. The only ten remaining soldiers were among them.

"My boys, let me kill!" Wu Yi took a deep breath and roared and launched a final charge against Cao's army who wanted to distance themselves from them.

"Shoot the arrow!" Xiahou Yuan's raised arms slashed hard in the void. After a short acceleration, hundreds of arrow clusters quickly sank into the crowd that rushed up.

Wu Yi was caught in seventeen arrows and fell to the ground with unwillingness with his eyes. More than a dozen Guanzhong soldiers finally fell into a pool of blood, and six Cao army soldiers were killed by swords thrown by Guanzhong army.

Looking at these Guanzhong soldiers, Xiahou Yuan was speechless for a long time. Not only him, but also the Cao army around him was silent. Obviously, Xiahou Yuan was not the only one who was shocked by the bravery and fearlessness of the Guanzhong army.

"I'll order the entire army to assemble immediately and follow me to attack Luoyang!" Xiahou Yuan took a deep breath and said to everyone.

"General, these people..." A general of Cao's army was a little unbearable. Even as an enemy, he couldn't help but admire these Guanzhong soldiers. Moreover, since the princes attacked Dong, the princes in the world had an unwritten rule. No matter how fierce the war was, they must clean up the bodies on the battlefield after the war, whether they were buried or burned, in short, they could not expose the corpses in the wilderness.

"Soldiers are very fast. After we capture Luoyang, we will clean up!" Xiahou Yuan shook his head. It was not that he didn't want to, but with Ye Zhao's reaction speed, even if he was slower, he might be more dangerous. When fighting with Ye Zhao, no one dared to take it lightly. This time he rarely caught Ye Zhao's flaw, but this flaw just flashed, so there was not much time left for Xiahou Yuan. He didn't have time to clean up these corpses, so he could only wait for this battle to clean up.

Sometimes, although rules are important, things are urgently followed. At this moment, Xiahou Yuan went deep into the army and could no longer care about so many. The victory or defeat of Cao's army can now be said to be dependent on him alone.

"Here!" Hearing this, the general of Cao's army quickly intervened and turned around to pass the order.

At that moment, Xiahou Yuan gathered the soldiers of Henoi who came from the other side of the river, and joined forces with one place. Ten thousand soldiers and horses rushed to the road under the urging of Xiahou Yuan. That evening, he arrived at Luoyang City.
