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

Sun Ce!

This famous name was mentioned again by Deng Mu.

Deng Mu naturally knows how fierce this brother is.

It took only one year to cross the river with a thousand steps, sweep all the princes, and pacify Jiangdong.

The little overlord of Jiangdong has a fighting style similar to that of the overlord Xiang Yu. What stands out is the word fierce.

When the two armies clashed, they never fought protracted battles. They always fought when they met and decided quickly.

The key person can still win every battle!

The name of the Little Overlord is certainly not in vain.

Moreover, Sun Ce was not only brave and fierce in battle, but also quite heroic in his organizational ambitions.

In history, during the decisive battle between Yuan and Cao, Sun Ce decisively gathered troops from Jiangdong, and against all opinions, he ordered his troops to march north and take advantage of the opportunity to seize Xudu.

This person's ambition is to compete in the Central Plains, not to settle in a corner east of the Yangtze River.

If it were Sun Shiwan, even if he had ten courages, he wouldn't dare to fight Xu Du. Even if he wanted to fight, he would never be able to cross the threshold of Hefei.

It's a pity that before Sun Ce went north, he was assassinated while out hunting, and unfortunately he lost his life.

If this person does not die, it is still unknown whether a three-legged pattern will emerge.

"What the military advisor said makes sense!"

"Sun Ce has the same style as his father Sun Jian, he is brave and good at fighting, like the God of War, but he is far behind!"

"If he is determined to enter the situation and take advantage of the situation to carve up Jingzhou, he cannot be underestimated."

Lao Liu was self-aware and frankly admitted that his fighting ability was not as good as Sun Ce.

But Deng Mu smiled disapprovingly and said with relief:

"Mu is just a reminder. Lord, there is no need to belittle oneself. I am really afraid of that Sun Ce."

"If a monarch must not all be brave and good at fighting, then what is the use of having ministers and generals?"

"The most important thing for a wise master is to know people well and be able to make decisions wisely"

"As for whether you are good at martial arts or not, whether you are brave or not brave in battle, these are just bonus points."

"If whoever can bravely conquer the three armies can bring peace to the world, how could Xiang Yu be destroyed by Emperor Gaozu back then?"

"Therefore, what the Lord has to do is to despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically."

"If Sun Ce really dares to enter the game in the future, we will break it!"

Deng Mu spoke eloquently and gave Liu Bei an imperial lesson.

Although there were some obscure words from later generations in the middle, Old Liu managed to understand Deng Mu's profound meaning.

"Strategically despise the enemy, tactically pay attention to the enemy…"

"Well, what the military advisor said is truly a wise saying and a lesson to be learned!"

Liu Bei was enlightened, and he sighed in admiration, and gave his hand to Deng Mu.

Little Deng Ai on the side seemed to understand, and he quickly took out the bamboo slips, and while carving, he read in his mouth:"Zi Yu said: Strategically despise the enemy. , tactically..."

The strategy was decided.

So in 973, Liu Bei stayed in Wei Yan with three thousand troops and horses, staying in Dangyang, and intermittently monitored and intimidated Liu Biao who fled to Jiangling.

Liu Bei led an army to escort Huang Chengyan the next day. Waiting for the celebrities, they returned north to Xiangyang.

Although Liu Biao was not intercepted in this battle, the biggest gain was to win the hearts of the people. As soon as he returned to Xiangyang, Huang Chengyan stood up and took the lead in going to the state capital to meet with Liu Bei, expressing his willingness to serve as an official and for Liu Bei's attitude towards serving.

Kuai Cai, Pang Huang.

The Huang family is one of the four great surnames in Jingzhou.

Now all the Cai family members have died, and the Cai family has suffered heavy losses. After fleeing south this time, their vitality has been greatly damaged. From Jingzhou The leader of the clan fell from his throne.

Although there were not many casualties in the Kuaiyue family, their influence in Xiangyang was almost lost because the whole clan moved south to Jiangling with Liu Biao. The

Pang family was not intercepted in time due to Pang Degong's battle in Dangyang. He was taken to Jiangling by Liu Biao, so he did not dare to express his position and could only continue to remain neutral.

In this way, the Huang family became the largest family in Xiangyang.

Huang Chengyan, the head of the Huang family, also became the first famous person in Xiangyang.

Such a heavyweight took the lead in expressing his allegiance and took the initiative to serve as an official. His influence was naturally explosive.

So the Diao family, Ma family, Feng family, Pan family and other major surnames in Xiangyang followed Huang Chengyan's example and took the initiative to send out elites from their clans. The disciples surrendered to Liu Bei's command.

In this situation, Liu Bei quickly won the hearts of Xiangyang in just a few days and secured the city in the heart of Jingzhou.

And the news of Xiangyang's change of ownership also spread like snowflakes. All states in the world

…

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

Since Cao Cao's Eastern Expedition, he has been making great progress all the way, conquering Xiaopei and Pengcheng counties, and approaching Xiapi.

Forty thousand troops arrived at the city and began to set up camp and prepare to attack the city.

Zhongjun account

"Chen Deng of Guangling has announced his break with Lu Bu and openly defected to the imperial court. He is now leading his army to join Xiapi."

"The Taishan bandits, led by Zang Ba, who occupied the East China Sea area of ​​​​Langye, refused Lu Bu's order to mobilize troops after receiving the imperial edict appointing him as the prime minister of Langye. It seemed that they would sit back and remain neutral."

"Now Lu Bu has betrayed his relatives and is surrounded by enemies on all sides!"

Guo Jia read out the intelligence from all parties, showing that the current situation can be said to be a good one.

"Fengxiao, your judgment is indeed right."

"Lu Bu relied on force to steal Xuzhou from Liu Bei, but he was unable to win over the people of the state."

"As soon as our army arrived, Chen Deng, Zang Ba and other Xuzhou heroes either switched sides or looked on with cold eyes."

"It seems that it is only a matter of time before we can conquer Xiapi and destroy the Lu bandits."

Cao Cao stroked his short beard with a smile of approval on his face.

The generals in Cao's camp in the tent were immediately excited and in high spirits.

"Sikong, what are you waiting for? After setting up camp tomorrow, we will attack from all sides, trying to break through Xiapi as soon as possible and kill Lu Bu's three family slaves!"

As the number one general of the Cao family, Cao Ren was the first to excitedly call for war.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, also intending to attack by force.

"Sikong Jia thought that we might as well only surround three sides and leave the south gate unencircled."

Guo Jia's eyes were full of meaning, and he spoke to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's eyes moved slightly, signaling Guo Jia to give a reason.

"A strong attack on Xiapi can certainly be defeated, but Jia never doubted that"

"But if Lu Bu is surrounded to death, this thief will definitely take the city and fight to the death, even to the last soldier."

"With the strength of Pi City and Lu Bu's strength, even if our army attacks and breaks the city, it will take at least three to five months."

"Liu Bei is currently training his navy and may cross the Han River at any time and capture Xiangyang."

"Once this happens, the situation in Jingzhou will take a turn for the worse, and Liu Bei will have the tendency to devour Jingzhou."

"If Liu Bei takes Jingzhou, the threat will be far greater than that of Liu Biao. This is absolutely unacceptable to us."

"Therefore, we must break through Xiapi quickly and regain Xuzhou as soon as possible so that we can intervene in the war in Jingzhou."

"Ensuring that the two sides face each other across the Han River and contain each other is the most beneficial situation for us."

After some analysis, Guo Jia turned his eyes back to Xiapi in front of him.

"And if we only surround three sides and leave a gap for Lu Bu, we can make him feel lucky and have no intention of fighting to the death."

"Once our army's offensive becomes too fierce, Lu Bu will definitely break through the gap and go to Huainan to join Yuan Shu."

"In this way, Sikong can quickly reach Xiapi and collect Xuzhou as quickly as possible."

"If Xuzhou is pacified early, Sikong can spare his efforts to intervene in the battle between Liu Bei and Liu Bei in time to ensure that Jingzhou will not fall into Liu Bei's hands!"

Guo Jia clarified his core intention:

Liu Bei can suppress Liu Biao, but he must not be allowed to swallow Jingzhou.

"Well, Feng Xiao's words are reasonable. I would rather let Liu Biao's self-defeating thief take over Jingzhou than let Liu Bei take over Jingzhou."

Cao Cao nodded heavily and agreed with Guo's proposal.

At this time,

Cao Ren was somewhat disapproving and said:

"Fengxiao was probably too afraid of Liu Bei."

"He is stronger than Liu Biao, and he is indeed training the navy, but to say that he can train an elite navy in just a few months, defeat Liu Biao's navy, and fight the Han River, is not necessarily too high a view on him. Alright"

"I thought it would be impossible for Liu Bei to cross the Han River within a year."

"We have enough time to surround Xiapi City and completely eradicate Lu Bu!"

Cao Ren's words were recognized by most generals.

After all, Lu Bu is known as the best general in the world. When Yanzhou fell, they all fought against Lu Bu and knew Lu Bu's history well.

In the eyes of the generals, Lu Bu was the biggest threat to Cao Cao. Enemy.

As for Liu Bei, although he has won several battles in recent months, it really shines on people's eyes.

But it is only a flash on the eyes.

"General Zixiao, Liu Bei went from defeating Xuzhou to dominating Nanyang and forcing Liu Biao to retreat to Hanshui in just half a year."

"The key is that he has the wizard Deng Mu to assist him."

"With this person existing, we must not underestimate Liu Bei!"

"Mr. Jia had a hunch that Liu Biao would not be able to hold the Hanshui defense line for too long under Deng Mu's scheming offensive!"

Guo Jia looked solemn and was extremely afraid of Deng Mu in his words.

Cao Ren sneered and said:

"This Deng Mu is indeed cunning and cunning, but he will not be able to do anything by himself.——"

The words have not yet finished.

The guards hurried in and presented a silk book with both hands.

"Report to the lord, Jingzhou will make an urgent report!"

"Ten days ago, Liu Bei (adbb) first defeated Cai Mao's navy, then defeated Liu Biao's infantry, and captured Xiangyang in one fell swoop!"

"Liu Biao was defeated and he abandoned the city and retreated to Jiangling. Liu Bei intercepted Dangyang with his light cavalry, and almost the entire army was wiped out!"

"Now Liu Biao has been defeated and fled to Jiangling, and everything north of Dangyang belongs to Liu Bei!"

There was silence in the big tent.

The silence was terrifying.

Cao Cao's hand stroking his beard froze in the air, his eyes gradually widened, and his mouth opened slightly.

Cao Ren was even more stunned, as if he had been hit with a sap on the head, and he was stunned..

Even Guo Jia took a breath and looked shocked.

The next moment, a pot exploded in the tent.

"How can this be?"

"Isn't the naval force Liu Biao's advantage? How could he be defeated by Liu Bei so easily?" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Even if his navy was defeated, Liu Bei wouldn't have defeated his infantry as well, and would he have lost Xiangyang so easily?"

"This doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t make sense!"

When Cao Ren came back to his senses, there were question marks all over his head, and he started shouting excitedly and horrifiedly.

The generals were all shocked and talking about it, unable to believe this unbelievable news.

Guo Jia jumped up and wrote the silk book After receiving the information, he examined it carefully.

After a while,

Guo Jia suddenly understood, shook his head and sighed:

"This Deng Ziyu is full of scheming and clever schemes. He is truly a genius in the world!"

Cao Cao also woke up from the shock and shouted urgently:

"Fengxiao, what is going on, tell me quickly!"

Guo Jia took a deep breath, calmed down his mind, and silently read out the detailed information about the battle between Xiangyang and Dangyang.

In the big tent,

Cao Ren and other generals gradually calmed down.

The originally unbelievably excited expressions soon changed. replaced by surprise and shock

"This Deng Mu actually recommended a water thief to defeat Cai Mao's navy for Liu Bei?"

"Using a trick of suspicion, Liu Bei could easily defeat Liu Biao's plan to attack him halfway across the border?"

"He intercepted Dangyang by water and killed Liu Biao so much that he lost his wife and son and fled in despair?"

Cao Cao asked countless questions, and immediately jumped up and took the information from Guo Jia's hand.

After looking at it carefully, all the unbelievable things turned into surprise.

"Ingenious plan, this series of strategies by Deng Mu are really ingenious."

"This person is really full of tricks and imagination in using his troops, which is really to my liking!"

"This Deng Ziyu is really a strange person in the world!"

Cao Cao couldn't help but marvel at the case and praise it.

But then, he suddenly remembered that these clever and wise men did not belong to him.

"It is a pity that such a wonderful person cannot be used by me!"

"Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande, what kind of virtue have you accumulated to pick up such a priceless treasure..."

Cao Cao sighed with emotion, his eyes full of envy for Liu Bei.

Guo Jia sighed lightly, cupped his hands and said:

"Now it seems that Liu Bei's acquisition of Deng Mu has gradually become a trend."

"Now that he has captured Xiangyang, Liu Biao may not be able to hold out for a few more days if he retreats to Jiangling. His momentum of swallowing up Jingzhou is already unstoppable."

"Sikong, it seems that we must break through Xiapi quickly and send troops to intervene in the battle in Jingzhou before Liu Biao is destroyed!"

At this time, Cao Ren and others lost their temper and did not dare to question Guo Jia's strategy anymore.

After Cao Cao pondered for a while, he slapped the table and shouted:

"According to Fengxiao's plan, he surrounded Xiapi City, leaving three and one remaining, forcing Lu Bu to abandon the city and flee as soon as possible, so as to capture Xuzhou quickly."

"Anyone can get Jingzhou, Liu Bei must not be allowed to take it all!"

…

Jiangdong, Moling (Jianye).

In the military mansion, a banquet was going on.

The heroic and heroic Lord of Jiangdong was full of high spirits and pride, and frequently drank with his generals.

"After these few battles, we have driven all Yuan Shu's forces out of Jiangdong."

"Even Lujiang County in the north of the Yangtze River was taken over by Bo Fuyou."

"Congratulations to Bo Fu, you have become the true Lord of Jiangdong!"

The young Confucian general with a beautiful face raised his glass and congratulated Sun Ce with a smile.

Sun Ce laughed loudly, raised his glass and praised:

"Without your assistance, Gong Jin, how could I have driven away Yuan Shu's forces so smoothly? You and I should drink this glass of wine together."

Zhou Yu also laughed.

The two ministers raised their glasses and drank it in one gulp.

"Jiangdong has been leveled, and Yuan Shuzhong has rebelled against his relatives, so let him fend for himself."

"After he commits suicide, we can go north to capture Huainan and take over Yuan Shu's legacy before it's too late."

"The first thing you need to do now, Bo Fu, is to reorganize your troops and seize the opportunity to advance back to Jiangxi."

"One of them killed Huang Zu to avenge Wentai's ancestor, while the other took advantage of the confrontation between Liu Biao and Liu Bei to capture Xiakou Jiangling and occupy the entire Yangtze River!"

"Then we will take Bashu from the west and race to the extreme of the Yangtze River. The southern half of the Yangtze River will be owned by Bo Fu."

"Afterwards, Bo Fu raised his troops from the south, launched the Northern Expedition, and competed with Yuan Cao for the Central Plains. Then he would be able to achieve hegemony!"

Zhou Yu pointed to the country, full of heroic confidence, and planned a grand blueprint for Sun Ce. The more Sun Ce listened, the more excited he became, and the copper cup in his hand made a rattling sound.

"Gongjin, your plan is a great plan to conquer the world!"

"Yes, yes, Gong Jin, I really believed you right, you are Zhang Liang and Han Xin of my Sun Ce!"

Sun Ce was overjoyed and praised Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu smiled and said nothing.

"Gong Jin, then I will gather my troops now and head back to the west of Jiangxi to take Jingzhou in the near future!"

Sun Ce has always been vigorous and resolute, and to put it mildly, he is a bit impatient.

Zhou Yu had just come up with a plan to capture Jingzhou, and he was immediately eager to send troops.

"Bofu, don't be anxious"

"At present, Liu Bei is still facing off with Liu Biao across the Han River, and it is difficult to determine the outcome."

"When they are slaughtered so hard that Liu Biao has to dispatch troops from Jiangxia and Jingnan to reinforce the Han River defense line, then it's time for us to send troops."

"At that time, Liu Biao's main force was concentrated on the Xiangyang line, leaving Xiakou, Jiangling and other lines along the Yangtze River empty of troops."

"When the time comes, we will mobilize all the troops from the east of the Yangtze River and advance westward. We will be invincible and conquer all! Zhou

Yu, however, was much calmer. He pointed out the situation of the battle in Jingzhou with a few words and suppressed Sun Ce's impatience.

Sun Ce nodded slightly and said:

"What Gong Jin said makes sense, I am indeed a little impatient."

"We sit back and wait for both sides to suffer losses, while I sit back and reap the benefits, isn't it wonderful? Zhou

Yu smiled slightly and said again:

"Before sending troops to Jingzhou, we can find time to cross the mountains first.——"

Zhou Yu hasn't finished speaking yet.

General Pan Zhang entered the hall in a hurry

"Report to the lord, urgent report from the state!"

"Liu Bei has captured Xiangyang, and Liu Xiang has been defeated and fled to Jiangling!"

As soon as these words came out,

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were shocked, and the smiles on their faces disappeared almost at the same time.
