Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

Liu Biao's eyes were confused, as if he had some kind of hallucination.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, on the other hand, stiffened and turned their heads tremblingly, looking at Wang Wei in disbelief.

With that expression, he seemed to have heard a fantasy.

Fancheng fell, Cai He was killed, Zhang Yun was captured, and the entire army was wiped out...

These few things were like the sun rising from the west. They were beyond common sense and could not happen at the same time!

"Lord, Fancheng has fallen!"

Wang Wei shouted in agony again.

The palace exploded.

Liu Biao's old face twisted into a ferocious and terrifying expression in an instant.

He jumped up and shouted at Wang Wei almost hoarsely:

"How could Fancheng be lost? Could it be that the military situation was wrong? This is impossible!"

Cai Mao also woke up with a start, jumped up and shouted excitedly:

"Liu Bei is still in Wancheng, holding a grand wedding for that boy Deng Mu. How could he raid Fancheng?"

"Furthermore, Fancheng is guarded by 10,000 elite soldiers, and my third brother is a famous general in the world. Even if the big-eared thieves attack by surprise, it is impossible to lose the city so quickly?"

"My third brother is even less likely,impossible——"

Cai Mao, who had already lost a younger brother, simply could not accept the bad news that another third brother had died. His emotions were so high that he was almost incoherent.

Wang Wei lamented and said with a bitter face:

"Lord, General Cai, I don’t want to believe it either. I also find it incredible."

"But this matter is absolutely true. It was said by the soldiers who escaped from Jiangbei."

"Liu Bei used some unknown means to attack Fancheng!"

Cai Mao staggered and fell down in shock.

Although the truth is cruel, it is the truth.

Fancheng has been lost.

He tried his best to force Liu Biao to exchange for his younger brother, but ironically he died under Liu Bei's sword.!

"Cai Mao!"

"Is this the trash I did not hesitate to make peace with Liu Bei in exchange for you?"

"If you hadn't been stubborn and strongly recommended, how could I have asked your useless brother, your brother, to guard Fancheng?"

"Now this piece of trash has fallen into Fancheng so easily, losing ten thousand of my army, and making Xiangyang City face the front of the big-eared bandits!"

"This is all your fault!"

Liu Biao was furious and yelled at Cai Mao.

This sudden change was such a huge blow to him that he was so angry that he ignored Cai Mao's identity.

"Lord, this, this..."

Cai Mao's face was full of shame, and he didn't know how to defend himself.

At this time, the shocked Kuai Yue 31 finally recovered and regained some composure.

After a change of thought, he raised his hand and persuaded. :

"This battle is really strange, there are too many things that don’t make sense"

"For example, Liu Bei was clearly holding a wedding ceremony for Deng Mu in Wancheng, so why did he suddenly appear in Fancheng?"

"We have ten thousand elite soldiers in Fancheng. Even if Liu Bei made a surprise attack, how could we be defeated so quickly?"

"Also, even if Fancheng was lost, the navy would have enough time to retreat to the south bank. Why was Zhang Yun captured by Liu Bei?"

"Lord, there are too many doubts. Let's gather troops on the south bank first, and then send agents to spy."

"What if, I mean what if the information is really wrong?"

The various doubts that Kuai Yue said also caused Liu Biao's anger to be replaced by confusion. His last words also rekindled his sense of luck.

"Send the order and quickly gather troops and horses at the water camp on the south bank to prepare to cross the river and recapture Fancheng!"

So Liu Biao immediately rode out of the city and headed straight for the south bank of the Han River. Nearly 20,000 Xiangyang defenders also hurriedly left the city and gathered towards the water camp on the south bank.

At dusk,

Liu Biao stationed his horse on the bank and looked at the north bank.

Looking across the river, one can vaguely see Liu Bei's flag rising over Shuiying and Fancheng on the north bank. On the river, warships that had been lucky enough to escape were escaping towards Shuiying on the south bank. A large number of them were on the river.

Special scouts were also sent across the river to spy on the details.

Before dark, the latest information like a snowflake was sent back to the south bank.

This information ruthlessly shattered Liu Biao's slightest hope.

"Liu Bei used Deng Mu's plan to make a surprise attack while Cai He was hosting a birthday party and was unprepared."

"Deng Mu had instigated a rebellion against General Wei Yan, and he cooperated with others internally and externally to seize the east gate and let Liu Bei's army enter the city. Only then did Fancheng fall."

"The traitor Yi Ji was also bribed by Deng Mu. He falsely sent an order to General Cai He and sent more than a hundred jars of fine wine to Shuiying in the name of celebrating his birthday."

"Zhang Yun and other water camp generals were so drunk that they were unable to command the navy to evacuate the north bank in time."

"Because of this, Liu Bei intercepted the navy, including the boats and people, on the north bank, and the entire army surrendered!"

Wang Wei looked solemn and read out the information in an extremely heavy tone.

All the details of the fall of Fancheng were finally coldly placed in front of Liu Biao.

Deng Mu!

All the information pointed to this name.

"It turns out that he is numbing us by holding a grand wedding at this time!"

"He also secretly lured Wei Yanyi to surrender, and used them to cooperate internally and externally to attack Fancheng from the inside!"

"This man's intelligence and scheming are truly unbelievable, and he is extremely cunning!"

"I am not as good as me, I am not as good as me..."

Kuai Yue sighed sadly and helplessly.

He finally admitted for the first time personally that this young counselor from a poor family was far more resourceful than him. At this moment, Liu Biao's mood also changed from anger to anger. The excitement turned into sadness and disappointment.

Kuai Yue's words touched him deeply, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"I didn't expect that Deng Mu would be so scheming that he would play with me in the palm of his hand!"

"If such unparalleled talents could have been put to use by the old man, how could they have suffered so much today!"

"well~~"

Liu Biao's sigh was filled with incomparable regret.

"I don't believe that a mere humble boy can have such a clever plan?"

"No matter how unfathomable his ingenuity was, how could he have predicted that his third brother would hold a birthday party yesterday?"

"Wei Yanyi Ji is just a nobody, an ant-like existence."

"How did he calculate that these two people would betray their lord and help Liu Bei destroy Fancheng?"

"I don't believe that there really are such clever people in this world!"

Cai Mao gritted his teeth and shook his head violently, refusing to accept Kuai Yue's judgment.

Looking at Cai Mao who had lost his mind, Kuai Yue sighed:

"Degui, we have been defeated again and again until we are where we are today, do you know why?"

"It’s because we underestimated Liu Bei and his mastermind Deng Mu."

"Although Liu Bei was a mat weaver and shoe seller, he was indeed a hero. Otherwise, how could he have caused Wenpin to switch sides and Wei Yanyi and so many other Jingzhou people to join him?"

"As for this Deng Mu, although he comes from a poor family, in my opinion, he is a rare talent that is rare to see in a century."

"If we continue to underestimate them, we are afraid that not only Fancheng will be lost, but Xiangyang Jiangling will also fall into the hands of Liu Bei sooner or later."

"This lord's inheritance will definitely be taken away by Liu Bei and Deng Mu!"

After a while, Cai Mao was speechless.

Liu Biao thought deeply, and after pondering for a moment, he sighed:

"It seems that at this point, Huang Zu can only be sent north to resist Liu Bei!"

Huang Zu.

The second-ranking general in Jingzhou.

When he competed with Sun Jian for Jingzhou, Liu Biao was beaten by Sun Jian until he lost consecutive battles. He hid in Xiangyang City and did not dare to come out.

Fortunately, Huang Zu set up an ambush and shot Sun Jian with a stray arrow, and the war in Jingzhou was solved. Danger.

In terms of merit, Huang Zu was actually the number one general under his command.

However, because the Huang family was not as rich as the Cai family, Liu Biao focused on the overall situation, so he could only hand over the military power in Jingzhou to Cai Mao.

In order to appease Huang Zu, Liu Biao appointed him as the prefect of Jiangxia, commanding Jingzhou's strongest Yangtze River navy, and stationed himself in Xiakou.

Jiangxia County also gave Huang Zu arbitrary privileges in personnel appointments and dismissals, as well as tax revenue.

With such rewards and privileges, Huang Zu was appeased. He killed Huang Zu and ordered him to sit in Jiangxia and defend Liu Biao from the threat of the Sun family in Jiangdong.

Now that the Cai brothers are incompetent and have lost troops and cities one after another, the situation in Jingzhou is comparable to that of Sun Jian's invasion.

Under such a situation, Liu Biao naturally thought of

Cai Mao was surprised. If

Huang Zu led his army northward and resisted Liu Bei for Liu Biao, it would be equivalent to another savior.

At that time, his position as the leader of Jingzhou military generals would Can it still be saved?

"Huang Zu must not be allowed to go north!"(If you want to read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Cai Hao rolled his eyes a few times as he thought about it, and then he cupped his hand:

"My lord, although the big-eared thief got Fancheng by luck, he has no navy. Even if he has an army of millions, he can never cross the natural dangers of the Han River."

"The final general thought that there was no need to mobilize the troops and mobilize Huang Zu to go north. Liu

Biao glared at him and asked:

"Have you forgotten? Liu Bei has intercepted Fancheng's navy and has Wenpin as his navy general."

"At this time, do you still dare to say that he has no navy?"

Cai Mao was stunned for a moment. He just remembered this incident.

But immediately, arrogance and arrogance appeared on Cai Mao's face.

"There are only four hundred naval warships in Fancheng. Although Wenpin can also fight on the water, he can only do so."

"The Xiangyang navy under the command of Mao has 500 warships and 8,000 elite sailors!"

"If the big-eared thief dares to send Wenpin to fight, with Mao's absolute trust, he will definitely annihilate the navy army in one fell swoop and kill Wenpin, the traitor!"

Cai Mao's domineering arrogance suddenly reminded Liu Biao.

When it comes to land warfare, Cai Mao's generals may be mediocre.

When it comes to water warfare, Cai Mao's ability is undoubtedly higher than that of literary officers.

"My lord, my lord knows Degui’s water fighting ability best."

"Liu Bei's wish to cross the Han River with only one civil servant and thousands of surrendered soldiers was really wishful thinking."

"Although we cannot underestimate Deng Mu, even if he is extremely resourceful, he is bound to be useless in this water battle."

"The more they thought that there was no need to move the Jiangxia navy to the north. Degui's Xiangyang navy was enough to hold the Han River defense line."

"Furthermore, now that Sun Ce has captured Chaisang and is about to attack Jingzhou, Huang Zu still needs to stay in Jiangxia to guard against that little overlord."

In order to prevent Huang Zu from becoming powerful, Kuai Yue naturally wore the same trousers as Cai Mao.

However, his reasons were more convincing.

Liu Biao was silent, weighing the pros and cons.

After a long time, he heard a soft sound sigh

"Sun Ce's general is a tiger son, and he and I have a grudge against him for killing his father. He is indeed a greater threat than Liu Bei, so we must be on guard against him."

"According to your plan, Huang Zu will not go north for the time being."

"Degui, I hope you will not disappoint me again, and you must defend the Han River defense line!"

Liu Biao changed his mind and shouted with sincerity.

Cai Mao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly raised his hands and said:

"Don't worry, my lord, if the big-eared thief dares to cross the river, Mao will definitely let him know who is the overlord of the Han River!"

Liu Biao's frown relaxed. Looking towards

Fancheng on the north bank again, a hint of contempt flashed across Liu Biao's old face.

"Liu Bei, your show of strength should stop at the Han River, right?…"

…

Xudu, Sikong Mansion

"First, Bowangpo made a fire, defeated the 40,000 Jingzhou army, and took advantage of the situation to capture Xinye!"

"Now he made a surprise attack on Fancheng and made Liu Bei drink Mahan water?"

"This Deng Mu’s tricks are really endless and come up with all kinds of tricks. It’s really amazing!"

Cao Cao looked at the information about the battle at Bowangpo and was full of surprises and praises.

All the counselors in Cao's camp in the palace were also amazed.

"Originally we thought that if Liu Biao was strong and Liu Bei was weak, Liu Bei would definitely take a defensive stance."

"Unexpectedly, Deng Mu's frequent tricks caused Liu Bei to win consecutive battles, repeatedly inflicting heavy losses on Liu Biao, and causing Jingzhou's offensive and defensive positions to change."

"Sikong, it seems that Deng Mu's wisdom is more unfathomable than we imagined."

Guo Jia sighed with emotion, and there was a sense of sympathy between heroes in his words.

After all, both of them came from poor families.

"The words of"filial piety" are reasonable, but Deng Mu's miraculous use of troops is really hard to guard against."

"From this point of view, could Liu Bei really have the potential to defeat the strong with the weak and swallow up Jingzhou?"

Cao Cao had changed his view on the direction of the war in Jingzhou.

At this time,

Xun Yu stroked his short beard and said calmly:

"Liu Bei was assisted by Deng Mu, which was indeedA fish in water, he was able to invade the Han River and threaten Xiangyang."

"But Sikong must not forget that if Liu Bei wants to capture Xiangyang, he must cross the Han River"

"This water warfare is completely different from land warfare. Not only does it require elite naval forces, but it also requires good generals who are proficient in water warfare."

"In this regard, Liu Biao occupies an absolute advantage, and conspiracy takes a back seat."

"Yu actually thought that Liu Bei’s winning streak would stop at the Han River. 247"

"Next, the two sides will inevitably confront each other across the river and enter a long stalemate stage."

Xun Yu made a judgment eloquently.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, nodded slightly and said:

"Wen Ruo's judgment coincides with mine."

"I think the surprises Liu Bei and Deng Mu have given us should be over here."

Afterwards, Cao Cao's eyes moved to the east.

"Just let Er Liu confront the Han River and let them spend forever."

"Xu Dunan is temporarily threatening, so it's time to free up his hands and take care of Lu Bu's family slave with the third surname."

"Send the order to gather troops and horses in the near future to prepare for the eastward expedition to Xuzhou!"

…

Fancheng.

More than 20,000 Liu Jun infantry and cavalry have gathered on the front line of Fancheng.

But at this moment, these soldiers who were eager to fight could only look at the river and sigh.

They can only wait.

Waiting for Wen Pin, the commander of the navy, to reorganize the five thousand surrendered sailors and train them into a combatable division.

Only if the navy won the battle could they successfully cross the river. shore.

Liu Bei stationed his horse on a high slope and watched the naval warships maneuvering in the water camp.

Since he didn't know anything about water warfare, he couldn't see how effective this training was.

The drill is over, Wen Ping comes on horseback

"Lord, these 5,000 navy troops have been reorganized, and they are only following the Lord's orders!"

Wen Pin handed over his hand to reveal the truth.

Liu Bei looked happy and said happily:

"In this case, when can we cross the Han River and attack the south bank?"

"This..."

Wenpin looked ashamed and sighed:

"Although the number of our navy is comparable to that of the Xiangyang navy commanded by Cai Mao,"

"But the general did not dare to deceive the lord. In terms of water warfare ability, the general was not as good as Cai Hao."

"Moreover, our army has just been reorganized, and its combat effectiveness is naturally far less than before."

"If he were to fight Cai Mao now, Pin would not be sure of victory."

Wenpin was honest and admitted that his ability to fight in water was not as good as Cai Hao's.

The joy on Liu Bei's face faded, and he couldn't help but cast a shadow.

"So what should we do? Zhongye can't beat Cai Mao, so let's just waste our time doing this?"

"I heard that Cao Cao went to fight Lu Bu. If he waits for him to capture Xuzhou and then turns around to deal with us, wouldn't we be attacked from both sides?"

Zhang Fei muttered.

The generals discussed each other for a while, and their faces were all covered with a shadow.

Liu Bei sighed and smiled helplessly:

"People from the north ride horses and people from the south row boats. It is indeed true."

"We only have warships and naval forces, but we don’t have any good naval generals. It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."

Lao Liu sighed with emotion.

Deng Mu smiled disapprovingly and asked in a different way:

"Who said we can't win against Shui?"

Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and he asked hurriedly:"Why did the military advisor say this?"

Deng Mu raised his hand and pointed toward the Han River:

"Along the Han River, there is a fierce general who is proficient in water warfare. This man can be called the best water general in Jingzhou!"

"If the lord gets this person, it will be easy to defeat Cai Mao's navy and cross the Han River!".
