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

"Brother, what clever trick did the military strategist use to conjure up another cavalry force out of thin air?"

Zhang Fei poked his head and looked at the silk book.

Liu Bei then showed Deng Mu's secret plan to everyone. It turned out that after Deng Mu ordered Zhang Liao to cross the river, he divided the wolf cavalry into two teams, one of which was the main force and detoured back to the northwest. The other team was the main force. One group of hundreds of cavalry detoured back to the east of the Jingzhou Army.

When the two armies clashed, the partial division to the east tied branches to their horses' tails and ran wildly.

In this way, just relying on more than a hundred cavalry, they kicked up wild dust that covered the sky, creating a Create the illusion of thousands of horses galloping.

This will make Liu Biao mistakenly think that the wolf cavalry will attack from the east.

So Liu Biao will naturally arrange the five thousand Chinese troops to the east.

At this time, Zhang Liao will lead the real main force to surprise him from the west. , went straight behind the Jingzhou army.

The truth was revealed.

All the generals were amazed

"Tie branches to the tail of a horse and mop the ground to fake the momentum of thousands of troops?"

"Can our military advisor think of such a heretical method?"

"His head is really too smart!"

Zhang Fei's eyes widened exaggeratedly, and he was surprised.

Wei Yan's eyes were startled, and he exclaimed:

"Could it be that the military advisor predicted that Liu Biao would prevent our cavalry from attacking before our army crossed the river?"

"So the military strategist took advantage of the situation and laid out this clever plan to defeat Liu Biao's response?"

The generals were shocked again.

Liu Bei stroked his short beard and sighed with a smile:

"When making plans, military advisors always take one step at a time and see ten steps ahead. This level of foresight and foresight is unmatched by anyone in the world."

Everyone in charge and ministers were immersed in admiration.

At this time, Liu Biao had led his remaining troops and fled back to Xiangyang City. He closed the city gate and stood firm.

Liu Bei saw that the main force had not yet crossed the river and the food and grass were still in Fancheng. They did not have the conditions to immediately besiege Xiangyang.

So they withdrew their troops temporarily and stationed themselves in Shuiying on the south bank, waiting for the follow-up army and food and grass to cross the river before entering Xiangyang City. At this moment, Xiangyang City was in panic.

Water The army was wiped out, Cai Mao was appointed leader, and the 20,000-strong army was defeated miserably in the land battle. Liu Bei attacked the south bank and marched his troops to the city...

One after another panicked news spread like crazy.

The people of Xiangyang all over the city were in panic.

The state capital.

Liu Biao used his hands to He held his forehead and closed his eyes, looking withered and sitting there without saying a word.

His wife Cai, on the other hand, was crying and complaining non-stop.

"For the sake of your Liu family's foundation, I have sacrificed my two younger brothers!"

"Now even Degui is dying for you!"

"I only have three brothers, and now they are all dead. How can you be worthy of me and my Cai family?~~"

Cai usually relied on her family's power to be extremely powerful in front of Liu Biao.

Now, stimulated by Cai Mao's death, he is even more filled with grief and anger and has lost his mind.

"enough!"

Liu Biao couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his hand and slapped the chattering Ms. Cai.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Ms. Cai was slapped to the ground.

Ms. Cai fell to the ground, covering her face that was slapped red with her hands, her eyes full of grievances and disbelief.

Over the years, Liu Biao has always treated her with respect and respect. Afraid, he treated her like a bottle of Bodhisattva and didn't even say a harsh word.

Ms. Cai never expected that Liu Biao would become so fierce today and dare to be rough with him and slap her in the face!

"Liu Jingsheng, you, you——"

Mrs. Cai became so angry that she wanted to make a fuss on the spot.

"You bitch, I have spoiled you so much that you cannot tell the difference between superiority and inferiority, so you dare to slap me in the face!"

"Your three brothers are my servants. It is their duty to live on my salary and fight to the death for me!"

"It was Liu Bei who killed them, not me, the lord, so how dare you blame me?"

"Furthermore, if it weren't for the incompetence of your three good-for-nothing brothers who sacrificed my troops and generals, how could I have been forced to this point by that big-eared thief?"

"Do you still have the nerve to yell at me and blame me?"

"If you dare to make any more noise, I will divorce you now!"

Liu Biao was also an"honest man" and was angered. He scolded Ms. Cai angrily and vented all the resentment she had suppressed over the years.

Ms. Cai was stunned.

She looked at Liu Biao blankly, as if she couldn't believe this. It's the strict wife who always treats him with obedience!

"Degui and the others have been killed in battle, and there is no way to resurrect the dead. Madam should still express her condolences."

"Excuse me for saying it bluntly, my wife really shouldn't blame the lord and be disrespectful to him."

Kuai Yue spoke words of comfort, his tone and eyes were meaningful.

Cai's figure was shaken, and she suddenly came to her senses.

Once Cai Mao's three brothers died, the Cai family suffered a heavy blow, and their right to speak in front of Liu Ming must have been sharply reduced.

Without his brothers, With the Cai family supporting you, what confidence do you have to continue to be arrogant to Liu Biao?

Cai quickly recognized the situation and had to stand up silently, quietly closing her mouth, not daring to cry anymore.

Liu Biao had suppressed the resentment for many years After venting, I felt much better.

After letting out a breath, I asked Kuai Yue:

"Alien, at this stage, what should I do next?"

After a moment of silence, Kuai Yue let out a helpless sigh.

"Our army on the Han River was annihilated. More than half of our 20,000-strong army was lost, and the number of available troops was less than 10,000."

"Nowadays, people in Xiangyang are in panic again, and the soldiers are demoralized and have no intention of fighting to the death."

"Kuai Yue believed that under this situation, Xiangyang City could not be defended by any means. Once it was surrounded, the dangers would be unpredictable."

"The only solution now is to abandon Xiangyang immediately and retreat towards Jiangling (abbf)"

"After retreating to Jiangling, the lord can regroup and mobilize Liu Pan, Huang Zhong and others to the south to join forces with Jingnan troops."

"To the east, you can adjust Huang Zu and lead the Jiangxia navy to increase the defense of Jiangling."

"In this way, we can rely on reinforcements from all walks of life, relying on the thick walls and sufficient food and grass to defend Jiangling and crush Liu Bei's ambition to devour Jingzhou."

"Afterwards, we can take advantage of the victory to counterattack and regain Xiangyang and other lost lands, which is just around the corner."

Kuai Yue unfolded the map and presented a strategy to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao's gloomy eyes seemed to see new hope, but he was still unwilling to do so.

"Xiangyang City is the state governance that I have been running for many years, and it is the foundation of Jingzhou."

"Will I just give it up to Liu Bei?"

"I'm not willing to give in, I'm not willing to give in.——"

Liu Biao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Kuai Yue sighed and said in relief:

"If not forced by the situation, how could Yue make such a desperate move and abandon Xiangyang?"

"You know, my Kuai family and Cai family have been rooted in Xiangyang for hundreds of years."

"But defending Xiangyang City will definitely lead to disaster, and it is actually the most unwise choice."

"Kuai can only ask the Lord to put the overall situation first and endure the humiliation for the time being!"

Liu Biao froze and fell into silence.

After weighing for a long time, his face showed bitterness and he waved his hand feebly:

"Just follow your plan, abandon Xiangyang, and quickly retreat to Jiangling."

Kuai Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Liu Biao suddenly moved his eyes and thought of something again.

"Even if I want to abandon Xiangyang, I must move all the wealthy families in Xiangyang south to Jiangling. I cannot leave them to Liu Bei."

"Except for your two Kuai and Cai clans, all the big clans such as the Pang clan, the Feng clan, and the Ma clan have to move south for me."

"Especially for the Huang family, Huang Chengyan didn't know how to commend himself and refused my conquests several times, which is really annoying."

"You arrange for my nephew Liu Hu to send a team of horses to the Huang family. No matter what means are used, the Huang Chengyan family must be forcibly taken to Jiangling by me!"

Liu Biao explained without question.

Kuai Yue understood that Liu Biao did not want this wealthy family to fall into the hands of Liu Bei, and instead supported Liu Bei.

In this way, his authority as the lord of Jingzhou would not be supported by the people of Jingzhou. will be greatly affected

"My lord is wise, these wealthy surnames cannot be left to Liu Bei."

"The more you know how to do it."

Kuai Yue immediately accepted the order.

Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, walked outside the hall, put his hands behind his hands and looked north.

He seemed to see Liu Bei commanding the army across the river, marching towards Xiangyang with great arrogance.

"Liu Bei, if you want Xiangyang, I will give it to you."

"It's a pity that all you get is an empty city!"

"Without the support of those rich surnames, I wonder how you can sit firmly in Xiangyang!"

A sarcastic snort sounded.

…

To the west of Xiangyang City, the Huang Family Manor.

In the mansion, an old man and a young man were playing chess.

The old man's beard and hair were half white, and his whole body exuded the elegance of a reclusive master. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The girl is dressed in a yellow shirt and has a beautiful and refined appearance. Although she is young, there is wisdom in her eyebrows.

On the chessboard, there is a big dragon with black stones, which has been surrounded and killed by white stones, and is at the end of its rope.

The girl frowned for a long time and then frowned.

The dragon was surrounded to death

"He lost again. In this round, he was still a miserable failure as a father."

Huang Chengyan shook his head and smiled bitterly, with a look of helplessness on his face.

This hidden master is Huang Chengyan, the head of the Huang family in Xiangyang.

The girl in front of him is his daughter Huang Yueying

"We only lost three games, let’s do it again."

Huang Yueying smiled faintly and began to clear up the chessboard.

Huang Chengyan waved his hands repeatedly:"If you play again, you will still lose. As a father, I don't want to lose again. I can't play anymore."

Huang Yueying's father had exported his psychological shadow, so he had to smile helplessly and stopped forcing.

After gathering the chess pieces, she gave Huang Chengyan a cup of tea.

"Yueying, Xiangyang is not peaceful these days, so you should stop going out and just stay at home and study."

Huang Chengcheng explained while sipping tea.

"Not at peace? Huang

Yueying turned her bright eyes and said with understanding:

"What my father is worried about is that the two men are facing each other across the river, and the war will start again soon."

Huang Chengyan nodded slightly and agreed with his daughter's speculation.

Huang Yueying smiled and said disapprovingly:

"Although Xiangyang is separated from Fancheng by a river, if Liu Xuande wants to cross the Han River, he must first defeat Cai Degui's navy."

"Could it be that my father felt that Liu Xuande had this ability?"

Huang Yueying obviously knows a little bit about military warfare.

But Huang Chengyan sighed meaningfully.

"Although Liu Xuande has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, his military skills are not outstanding."

"But his mastermind, Deng Mu, was unfathomably clever."

"Liu Bei relied on this man's strategy to kill Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew first, and then defeated Liu Jingsheng until he retreated in succession, and retreated to Han River on the defensive."

"My father thought that with Liu Bei here, the Han River might not be able to stop him."

As he spoke, Huang Chengyan spoke highly of Deng Mu's wisdom.

"This Deng Ziyu is indeed a genius. We have lived in Jingzhou for a long time, but we did not realize that there is such a strange person in Xinye. Huang

Yueying nodded slightly, but then changed the subject:

"However, even if he continues to plot, if he wants to cross the Han River, he must not only defeat Cai Mao's navy, but also repel Liu Jingsheng's 20,000-strong army on the shore."

"My daughter really couldn't think of any clever ideas he had that could help Liu Xuande achieve these two things."

Huang Chengyan was asked by his daughter and was speechless for a moment.

After a moment of silence, Huang Chengyan could only laugh at himself:

"Maybe, being a father is really unreasonable."

"As you said, Ying'er, even though Deng Mu is extremely resourceful, he may not be able to——"

The words are not finished yet.

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded, and a middle-aged Confucian scholar walked into the palace with a solemn expression.

"Brother De Gong?"

Huang Chengyan had a strange look on his face

"Why did Pang Shibo think of coming to visit his father?"

Huang Yueying hurriedly stood up to greet the ceremony and served tea and water to the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar was none other than the head of the Pang family, the famous Mr. Pang De.

"Chengyan, can you really sit still and still be in the mood to drink tea here?"

"Did you know that Xiangyang is about to change?"

Huang Chengyan's face changed, as if he had a premonition of something, and he hurriedly said:

"Could it be that Liu Bei has sent troops to cross the river?"

"More than just crossing the river!"

Pang Degong took out a silk scroll from his sleeve.

"This is the latest news sent by the state government’s informant."

"Then Liu Xuande sent troops across the river yesterday, destroyed the Xiangyang navy in a water battle, captured Cai Mao alive and chopped off the sacrificial flag!"

"Then he landed with infantry, severely damaged Liu Jingsheng's 20,000 troops, and beheaded Wang Wei!"

"Liu Jingsheng returned in defeat. All Liu Bei's army had crossed the river and were heading towards Xiangyang City!"

These words were like thunder.

The two fathers and daughters of the Huang family changed their expressions in shock.

Huang Yueying was certainly shocked.

Even Huang Chengyan had a premonition that Liu Biao might be defeated, but he never expected that Liu Biao could be defeated so miserably!

By land and water! Both armies were almost completely wiped out!

"Pang Shibo, is this news reliable?"

"Then Cai Mao's water battle was known as the second in Jingzhou, and he was able to annihilate his entire army?"

"Liu Jingsheng held 20,000 infantry troops. Even if the navy army was annihilated, how could Liu Xuande easily kill him on the south bank and suffer another defeat?"

Huang Yueying stood up, her pretty face filled with disbelief.

"Because Liu Xuande has Deng Mu."

Pang Degong sighed meaningfully and handed the detailed information in his hand to the Huang family and his daughter.

"Deng Mu?"

The Huang family father and daughter looked at each other, hurriedly took the silk book and read it carefully.

According to the intelligence, Deng Mu recommended Liu Bei to surrender Gan Ning, and Gan Ning commanded the navy to defeat Cai Mao.

Then Liu Biao was half in love. When crossing the enemy, Deng Mu used his tactics to disrupt his formation, and used wolf cavalry to surprise and defeat the enemy...

Deng Mu's masterpiece was written clearly in white and black.

After reading it, the Huang family's father and daughter were stunned. take a breath

"This Deng Ziyu was so scheming?"

"This, this... is there such a scheming person in this world?"

Huang Yueying's voice trembled, and her brows were deeply shocked.

Pang Degong sighed:"I didn't believe it beforehand, but after repeated confirmation, I had to believe it."

Huang Yueying slowly sat down.

She was holding the silk book in her hands, with surprise on her pretty face. Her eyes fell on the name"Deng Mu", and she was lost in silence for a long time.

"It seems that Deng Mu’s clever strategy far exceeded my expectations."

"Mr. De, there is such a unique genius hiding under our noses, and we didn’t realize it."

"Ashamed, extremely ashamed."

Huang Chengyan sighed with emotion and felt a little ashamed.

But Pang Degong put away his emotion and said solemnly:

"Liu Jingsheng used Kuai Yue's plan and decided to abandon Xiangyang and move south to the prefecture to Xiangyang."

"I got the news that this time he fled south and wanted to forcibly move all the wealthy people from Xiangyang to Jiangling."

"I am here to personally remind you that you should prepare early."

Pang Degong revealed the true purpose of this trip.

Huang Chengyan frowned and said in a deep voice:

"This Liu Jingsheng is incompetent and cannot defend Xiangyang, but he wants to force us to board his pirate ship. How unreasonable!"

The words just fell.

Suddenly there was a burst of noise outside the house.

The servant came to report in a panic, saying that it was Liu Biao's nephew Liu Hu, who led a group of people to forcefully break into the house.

Huang Chengyan's face darkened, and he was about to go out to ask. After all, a group of Jingzhou soldiers broke into the palace with great momentum.

Huang Yueying's face was angry, and she stepped forward and shouted:

"You are so brave, why did you force your way into my Huang family? What do you want to do? Liu

Hu cupped his hands and said coldly:

"Liu Bei's army was approaching, and my uncle decided to abandon Xiangyang and retreat to Jiangling."

"In order to prevent the people of Xiangyang from being harmed by Liu Bei, my uncle decided to escort all the important people to Jiangling for refuge."

"I am here on my uncle's order to pick up Huang Gong when he goes south."

As expected.

Huang Chengyan looked indifferently and said coldly:

"What if I don’t want to leave my hometown and move to Jiangling with Liu Zhoumu?"

"Then don’t blame the elders for being rude!"

Liu Hu's face darkened, his sword suddenly unsheathed, and the sword pointed at Huang Chengyan's face.
