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

Chapter 74



"Ziyu, why did you provoke Huang Zhong to surrender instead of provoking his general?"

"Who wrote this letter of yours?"

Liu Bei's question was also the suspicion in the hearts of the generals.

Deng Mu did not answer, looked at Zhuge Liang beside him, and asked:

"Kong Ming, guess what is the purpose of my letter?"

He was deliberately testing Zhuge Liang, and took a look at the qualifications of his Wolong student.

Zhuge Liang stared at the letter and pondered in silence.

After a moment, his eyes brightened slightly, and he cupped his hands and said:

"If Liang's guess is correct, this letter from Master should be a letter of surrender."

"The intention was to use recruitment and surrender as a pretext to implement a plan to alienate Huang Zhong, making Liu Biao suspicious of Huang Zhong."

Deng Mu nodded slightly in approval, acquiescing to Zhuge Liang's guess.

Wolong is indeed Wolong. He is really talented and can guess the purpose of this letter.

Liu Bei and others suddenly realized and understood Deng Mu's plan.

"Kong Ming, guess again, who wrote this letter?"

Deng Mu continued to question.

Zhuge Liang was startled, and his eyes turned confused again.

From what Deng Mu meant, this surrender letter was neither written by Liu Bei nor written by him.

Could there be someone else?

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and shook his head. road:

"Forgive me for being ignorant, but I really can't figure out who wrote this letter of surrender."

Zhuge Liang couldn't guess at this level.

Deng Mu had a rough idea of ​​Zhuge Liang's current strength.

He was definitely talented, but after all, he was still a newborn calf, and he was still far from his peak intelligence. Needs good practice and practice

"I said Ziyu, tell me who wrote this surrender letter.~~"

Zhang Fei couldn't hold it in anymore and couldn't help shouting.

Deng Mu smiled and handed over to Old Liu Yi:

"My lord, Rong Mu will give it a try first, let's lure Huang Zhong out for a fight, and then Shi Mu will explain to the lord."

Liu Bei was also full of conjectures, but he suppressed his curiosity and immediately ordered to gather troops and mount an siege posture.

"Military advisor, who do you think is the most suitable person to send to challenge Huang Zhong and implement this alienation plan?"

Liu Bei asked again.

In terms of martial arts, Huang Zhong is at the level of the Five Tiger Generals. If there is a life-and-death fight, Zhang Fei will naturally have to fight.

But Zhang Fei has a violent temper, and he is afraid that he will get jealous and only focus on fighting Huang. Loyalty risking one's life, but one forgets about business

"Mu believes that Gan Xingba is the most suitable person."

Deng Mu weighed it again and again and chose Gan Ning.

Purely comparing the strength of martial arts, Gan Ning was inferior to Zhang Fei, and naturally there was a gap between him and Huang Zhong.

But inferiority does not mean that he has no fighting power.

With Gan Ning's In terms of strength, it is not a problem to fight Huang Zhong for dozens of rounds.

Moreover, Gan Ning is brave and resourceful, and is far more calm and reliable than Zhang Fei. There is no need to worry about getting jealous and missing the point.

"Okay, let Xingba challenge Huang Zhong according to the recommendation of the military advisor!"

Liu Bei knew Zhang Fei best, and also knew that he was not as suitable as Gan Ning for this task, so he readily accepted Deng Mu's suggestion.

"Really, why didn’t the military advisor recommend me?"

"If I were asked to go out and kill Huang Zhong, the old pawn, there would be no need to put in all the effort..."

Zhang Fei was unhappy and complained in a low voice.

In the camp, the sound of gongs was heard. There was a sound.

The camp gate opened wide, and tens of thousands of Liu Jun soldiers marched out of the camp.

Jiangling, the state capital.

Liu Biao was slapping the case and scolding his mother, getting furious.

"Huang Zu, this ungrateful villain!"

"In vain of my kindness to him, at the critical moment, in order to protect himself, he openly disobeyed orders and refused to lead his army to Jiangling to help in the battle!"

"Villain, ungrateful villain~~"

Liu Biao was so angry that his face turned purple and his blood boiled.

In order to protect Jiangling to the death, at the suggestion of Kuai Yue, he sent messengers several times to carry his orders, urging Huang Zu to lead the Jiangxia Army to join Jiangling.

Huang Zu, however, delayed for various reasons either because he did not have enough food and grass, or because he did not have enough weapons.

Even Liu Biao's promise to hand over all military power in Jingzhou to Huang Zu and such a re-confession failed to seduce Huang Zu.

Just yesterday, Huang Zu sent someone to send a handwritten letter, saying that Sun Ce intended to capture Jiangxia and directly rejected Liu Biao's transfer order.

In the past, he refused perfunctorily, but now he is openly disobedient, almost to the point of tearing his face!

How could Liu Biao not be so angry that he vomited blood?

"Huang Zu believed that he had shot Sun Jian and had long been dissatisfied with his lord."

"Now I see that my lord is in trouble and Jiangling is in danger. It is expected that he will die without saving me. My lord does not need to be angry."

Kuai Yue comforted him disapprovingly, then raised his hand and pointed north.

"According to the news from Xuzhou, Cao Cao was invincible in his eastward expedition to Xuzhou. He defeated Lu Bu steadily and retreated to Xiapi."

"I predict that Cao Cao will be able to defeat Lu Bu and engulf Xuzhou within a month at most."

"With Cao Cao's structure at the time, Liu Bei would not be allowed to steal Jingzhou and thus threaten the security of Xudu."

"Therefore, Yue expected that as soon as Xuzhou was defeated, he would immediately send his troops to attack Wancheng and intervene in the battle of Jingzhou personally."

"As long as Cao Cao enters the game, Liu Bei will not dare to be careless and can only lead his main force back to Nanyang to fight against Cao Cao."

"In this way, our danger in Jiangling will naturally be resolved."

Kuai Yue analyzed it with a confident look on his face. Only then did Liu Biao's anger gradually dissipate, and his frown gradually relaxed.

"Well, Xeno makes sense."

"Cao Cao's talents and strategies are far superior to Liu Bei's"

"The wisdom of Xun Yu and Guo Jia is not comparable to that of Deng Mu."

"If Cao Cao were to die, Liu Bei would never be his opponent and would definitely retreat."

"It seems that we only need to hold on to Jiangling for one month to survive this crisis..."

Liu Biao thought of this, but his face cast a shadow again, and he suddenly became unconfident.

There are no natural dangers in the Han River. If it can stop Liu Bei, Xiangyang City will not be easily defeated by him.

Now Jiangling City has no natural danger to rely on, can it stop Liu Bei for a month?

At this time, Liu Biao has been psychologically shadowed by Liu Bei, and he really lacks confidence.

"We have the Tiger of Changsha, and we are incorruptible in this world, so why worry about not being able to defend Jiangling for a month!"

"Lord, you have to have confidence in General Han Sheng."

Kuai Yue's face was full of trust and admiration, and he looked at the veteran with white hair and beard.

In fact, Kuai Yue, the number one counselor in Jingzhou, knew a little about Huang Zhong's strength.

But considering that , among the Huang clan, there is already a high-ranking Huang ancestor.

If another Huang Zhong comes out and is reused by Liu Biao, the power of the Huang clan will be too great, and there is a tendency to overwhelm the Kuai and Cai clans.

Therefore, when Cai Mao was alive, He reached a tacit agreement with Kuai Yue, secretly suppressed Huang Zhong, and hid him in a remote place like Changsha, refusing to promote him to any important position.

To this day, Jingzhou is in danger, and Liu Biao has lost many of his generals, reaching the point where he has no generals available. An embarrassing situation.

In order to save Jiangling and maintain the status of his family, Kuai Yue had no choice but to give up his selfishness and proactively proposed to Liu Biao that Huang Zhong should be reused to take on the important task of guarding Jiangling. Hope ignited in Liu Biao's eyes, and he looked at Huang Zhong expectantly.

That look in his eyes , as if the heavy burden of wealth, life, and the survival of Jingzhou has been placed on Huang Zhong's shoulders.

"brush! Huang

Zhong stood up, bowed his hands to Liu Biao with a solemn expression, and said with emotion:

"Please rest assured, my lord, I, Huang Zhong, and the five thousand Changsha soldiers under my command, even if we shed the last drop of blood, we will defend Jiangling to the death for our lord! Liu

Biao was greatly gratified by this generous statement and took a stab at it.

So he immediately stood up, supported Huang Zhong, and said with approval:

"As the saying goes, you can see people's hearts in times of crisis. I just know today that you, Han Sheng, are my most loyal and loyal minister!"

"My wealth and life, as well as the life and death of the people of Jiangling City, I entrust them all to your shoulders, Han Sheng."

At this time, Liu Biao seemed to praise Huang Zhong as the pillar of the sky!

Hearing this reliance and trust, Liu Pan, who was standing aside, frowned secretly, with a bit of jealousy flashing in his eyes.

In order to suppress Huang Zhong, he also In order to take control of the four counties in Jingnan, Liu Biao specially sent his nephew to take charge of the Changsha Army.

Before that, Huang Zhong had been Liu Pan's deputy general.

This time he led the army to reinforce Jiangling, Liu Pan thought that because of his relationship with Liu Biao , will definitely replace Cai Mao and become the top military general in Jingzhou.

Who would have expected that his uncle would trust Huang Zhong more. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Huang Zhong also changed his official position from his deputy general. After being promoted to four levels in a row, he was directly riding on his head.

Liu Pan was dissatisfied with himself.

Dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction, and Liu Pan did not dare to express it, so he could only drink wine in a depressed manner.

"Everyone——"

"Report, urgent report from the north gate!"

Just when Liu Biao raised his glass and wanted to say a few encouraging words, the scout hurriedly arrived and interrupted his words.

"An urgent report came from the north gate. Liu Bei gathered his army and seemed to be planning a large-scale attack on the city!"

Liu Biao was taken aback. He didn't have time to make any more impassioned speeches, so he immediately shouted:

"Send the order, the whole army assembles, climb to the city and prepare for war!"

At that moment, Liu Biao broke up the banquet and hurried to the north gate to sit down. The sound of gongs sounded.

Thousands of Jingzhou troops were also full of anxiety. The generals rushed to the top of the city to prepare.

Liu Biao climbed up the tower. Looking out of the city, I couldn't help but tense up.

Just two hundred steps away, nearly 30,000 Liu troops had gathered in formation.

Their murderous intent was soaring, and their morale was like a rainbow!

Looking at this, Dayou was going to conquer Jiangling in one go today. the meaning of

"We just set up camp and are coming to attack the city immediately?"

"You don't even bother to let the soldiers rest for a while, Liu Bei, are you so arrogant and conceited..."

Liu Biao frowned deeply, and the old man showed a look of disgust.

Huang Zhong, however, looked as iron as steel and said proudly:

"My lord, please rest for a while in the city tower. I will command the soldiers to resist the enemy."

"As long as I, Huang Zhong, am here, I will let Liu Bei know what it feels like to kick an iron plate!"

Huang Zhong's bold and confident words made Liu Biao feel confident, and all the clouds on his face disappeared.

So he smiled generously:

"With you, Huang Hansheng, in charge, I will naturally sit back and relax."

"I'm sitting in the tower, watching how you kill Liu Bei and show off the power of our Jingzhou army!"

Liu Biao took the initiative to delegate power.

Huang Zhong resolutely shouldered the heavy burden, stood proudly on the city with his sword horizontally, and commanded the troops.

The Jingzhou soldiers cheered up a little, but their nerves were tense, preparing for a life-and-death battle.

Outside the city,

Liu Bei did not give any orders. Attacking the city, he glanced at Gan Ning:

"Xingba, go ahead and act according to your plan!"

Gan Ning took the order, raised his horse and raised his sword, and rode out of the military formation alone.

One man and one horse, whistling like the wind, he rushed seventy steps in front of the city in a blink of an eye.

He took a deep breath, pointed his long sword towards the city head, and He shouted:

"I am Gan Ning!"

"Generals in the city, listen, who among you has the courage to come out of the city and fight me, Gan Ning!"

This lion's roar reverberated like thunder, shaking the eardrums of Jingzhou soldiers at the top of the city.

Tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers heard it clearly, and they all looked shocked.

Gan Ning!

That Jinfan thief?

That Hanshui battle , defeated their navy and captured Cai Mao's men alive?

What did he mean? He came to call for war alone?

All the soldiers were surprised and confused, and they didn't know why.

"This Jinfan thief is so arrogant that he dares to call a fight alone. It's really hateful.~~"

Liu Biao inside the city tower gritted his teeth when he thought of what Gan Ning had done.

At this time.

However, Huang Zhong was provoked by Gan Ning and aroused his ambition and anger.

So he came to the city tower and bowed his hand to Liu Biao:

"My lord, Liu Bei ordered the Jinfan thief to come and call for battle. He is really arrogant and extremely arrogant!"

"I would like to ask your lord to allow me to go into battle and behead the Jinfan thief. This will severely dampen Liu Bei's spirit and boost the morale of our army!"

Liu Biao intended to agree, but was not undecided. He looked at Kuai Yue.

After Kuai Yue pondered for a moment, he sneered disdainfully:

"This must be Liu Bei's attempt to kill our generals and demoralize our army by fighting generals before attacking the city!"

"It's a pity that he never would have expected in his dreams that the master still has the peerless Han Sheng in his hands.Will!"

"The more I thought, my lord could make the Han Dynasty become a fighting general, and use the head of the Jinfan thief to thwart Liu Bei's arrogance!"

Kuai Yue said so, and Liu Biao had even more doubts.

So he shouted angrily:

"Huang Hansheng listens to the order, I order you to go out of the city to fight with the general and fight the Jinfan thief!"

"I want you to chop off the head of that dog thief to comfort my spirit in heaven, Qi'er!"

He wanted to use Gan Ning's blood to wash away the pain of losing his son.

"The general will obey the order!"

Huang Zhong accepted the order with enthusiasm and went down to the city.

The north gate of Jiangling opened with a bang, and the suspension bridge slowly lowered.

Under Liu Biao's expectant gaze, Huang Zhong clap his horse sword and rushed out of the city gate.

"Jinfan thief, stop being so arrogant!"

"Changsha Huang Zhong is here!"

"Leave your head behind!"

Amidst the roaring sound that shook the sky.

Huang Zhong held a long sword in his hand, and one man and one horse rushed towards Gan Ning.

"The military advisor knew what was going on, Liu Biao indeed sent Huang Zhong to fight..."

Looking at the menacing Huang Zhong, Gan Ning secretly sighed in his heart.
