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

"Father...Father, is he dead?"

Liu Cong's voice trembled, and he felt as if he had lost his soul.

He was still a child after all.

Although he had ambitions to compete for the throne, he had been huddled under the protection of Liu Biao for many years~. Suddenly, the man who was... His protective father is gone!

He has to face the outside world and the violent wind and rain from Liu Bei.

At this moment, Liu Cong is not ready at all. He has neither the ability nor the courage.

"What should I do, alien, what should I do?"

"My father is gone, my father is gone?"

"If Liu Bei leads his army to pursue him, what should I do?"

"Xeno, you have to help me, help me~~"

Liu Cong suddenly got up and held on to Kuai Yue tightly, like a drowning man trying to grasp the only life-saving straw.

Looking at the helpless child in front of him, who was completely dependent on him, Kuai Yue curled up into a playful sneer.

This is what he wants

"Second Young Master, don’t panic, as long as Yue is here, the sky will not fall. Kuai

Yue immediately helped Liu Cong up and said seriously:

"Jingzhou is the foundation of the Liu family. Since the late Duke Jing Sheng is gone, the second son should succeed him."

"We shall regard the Second Young Master as the new lord of Jingzhou and lead us to share the same hatred of the enemy and fight to the death with Liu Bei."

"Avenge Mr. Jing Sheng, avenge our dead Jingzhou son!"

Under the impassioned mood, Kuai Yue bowed to Liu Cong.

On both sides were Kuai Yue's cronies. When he took the lead, everyone suddenly bowed to Liu Cong.

Looking at the people kneeling down, Liu Cong suddenly felt unreal. feel

"These people, are they considering me as the Lord of Jingzhou?"

"I became a Jingzhou animal husbandry. Did I really become a Jingzhou animal husbandry?"

Liu Cong's thoughts were wandering, and he suddenly woke up. A flash of ecstasy flashed between his eyebrows.

But the next moment, he forcibly suppressed the ecstasy.

"Cong is still young and has little talent and knowledge. He may not be able to take on a big responsibility and live up to your expectations. Liu

Cong declined and gave in. At the same time, he was testing Kuai Yue.

Kuai Yue cupped his hands and said solemnly:

"As the saying goes, inheritance from father to son means that even if the lord is young, he should naturally inherit the position of Jingzhou Shepherd."

"Moreover, Yue will do his best to assist his lord in order to repay the kindness of the late Jing Sheng!"

"Please, my lord, think of the people of Jingzhou and never refuse.

Seeing that Kuai Yue was so resolute, Liu Cong breathed a sigh of relief.

After pretending to refuse, he reluctantly accepted Kuai Yue's support.

Kuai Yue felt relieved and ordered a mourning hall to be set up for Liu Biao on the warship.

Liu Cong succeeded to the throne before Liu Biaoling and regarded himself as the shepherd of Jingzhou.

"In another world, although I have inherited the position of state pastor, Jiangling has been lost and our army has suffered all casualties."

"In such a critical situation, how should I clean up the mess? Liu

Cong asked with a worried look on his face.

Only then did he realize that he, the Jingzhou Shepherd, was besieged from all sides and his life might be in danger at any time.

"There are no soldiers left in the four counties of Jingnan. They are just waiting to die."

"That Huang Zu held his troops in high regard and didn’t even listen to the orders of Grand Duke Jing Sheng, let alone your lord."

"Our only way out is to go to Chaisang immediately and rely on the little overlord Sun Ce."

"At that time, we formed an alliance with Sun Ce and relied on your lord's appeal and Sun Ce's troops to fight back to Jingzhou."

"Only in this way can we have the chance to repel Liu Bei, regain the lost territory, and avenge the death of the late Duke Jing Sheng."

General Kuai Yue presented the plan he had prepared long ago to Liu Cong.

Liu Cong's face changed, and his eyes were confused:

"Alien, have I ever thought that my Liu family and that Sun Ce have a hatred for killing their father!"

"If you ask me to rely on Sun Ce, don't you want me to jump into the hot bed?"

Kuai Yue's face darkened and he asked coldly:

"Lord, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to say that I, Kuai Yue, will harm you?"

There was obviously a hint of displeasure in these words.

Liu Cong was panicked, and he quickly smiled and denied:

"What you said, Xiandu, you single-handedly helped me become the state shepherd. How could I think that you would harm me?"

Kuai Yue didn't bother to explain to him, and said in a tone that left no room for doubt:

"The people who have a grudge against Sun Ce for killing his father are his lord and Huang Zu. With Sun Ce’s magnanimity, he may not be angry with his lord."

"The situation has reached this point, I can't help but worry about you, my lord."

"This matter is settled, my lord, you don’t need to say anything more!"

Liu Cong was speechless, so he did not dare to raise any objections and could only let Kuai Yue arrange it.

So Kuai Yue immediately ordered the warship to continue down the river eastward, pass Xiakou without entering the city, and go straight to Chai Chai. mulberry

…

Southeast of Xudu, Fengqiu.

Tens of thousands of Cao's victorious troops are marching westward to return to Beijing.

Han Sikong Cao Cao, sitting high on his horse, clearly has the word"high-spirited" written on his face.

During the eastern campaign against Xuzhou, Lu Bu fled south, Chen Deng surrendered, and Zang Ba became a minister.

After three conquests, Xuzhou was finally bitten off by him.

"If it weren't for Feng Xiao's strategy of surrounding three and missing one, how could I have quickly defeated Xiapi and captured Xuzhou lightly?"

"Fengxiao, you are the first to contribute to this Eastern Campaign."

Cao Cao stroked his short beard and looked at Guo Jia next to him with approving eyes.

Guo Jia was not happy. Instead, he looked solemn and raised his hands and said:

"Lu Bu is just a man, he can be defeated easily and is not worth mentioning."

"Liu Bei has a heroic appearance and wins people's hearts with his benevolence and righteousness. He is also assisted by strategists like Deng Mu."

"This person is ten times more threatening than Lu Bu"

"Now that Sikong has conquered Xuzhou, Jia thinks that there is no need to return to Xudu. He should go straight to Nanyang and threaten Wancheng."

"Now that Liu Bei has arrived at Jiangling, Jia is worried that Sikong's intervention will be too late, and Liu Biao may not be able to defend Jiangling!"

The smile on Cao Cao's face gradually disappeared, and his brows frowned slightly.

"Fengxiao reminded that the combination of Liu Bei and Deng Mu should not be underestimated."

Cao Cao nodded and approved Guo Jia's judgment, and then asked:

"Didn't Zixiao lead his army into Xudu in advance? Did he send back the news as to who Liu Bei sent to guard Wancheng?"

"Reporting back to Sikong, according to General Zixiao's report, the person guarding Wancheng was named Huo Jun."

Huo Jun?

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, obviously unfamiliar with this name.

"This Huo Jun is from Nanjun. The Huo family can barely be called an aristocratic family in Nanjun."

"It's just that Liu Biao relied heavily on the Cai and Kuai families, so the Huo family was naturally not reused."

"After Liu Bei conquered Xiangyang, he made an exception and promoted many Jingzhou scholars who were not reused by Liu Biao. Huo Jun was one of them."

Guo Jia told Huo Jun's origin.

Cao Cao was thoughtful and asked again:

"Is this Huo Jun so extraordinary that he was reused by Liu Bei to guard Wancheng?"

Guo Jiayao shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"Huo Jun was just a small official before and had never heard of anything extraordinary about this person."

Cao Cao smiled.

The smile was sarcastic!

"This Liu Bei just likes to pick up people who are not used by others."

"It seems that he is addicted to picking things up, thinking that he will be lucky every time and can pick up rare treasures like Deng Mu from a pile of rubbish. After the sarcasm

, Cao Cao raised his whip and said:

"Send an order to Zixiao, don't wait for me to join forces, lead the army directly to Wancheng"

"After he conquers Wancheng, I will lead my army to join him and march south towards the Han River!"

Cao Cao was full of confidence and didn't seem to take Huo Jun seriously at all.

Taking Wancheng was a piece of cake.

The order had just been given.

A messenger on horseback came from Juechen. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu novels！）

"Report to Sikong, urgent report from Jingzhou!"

"Liu Bei captured Jiangling a few days ago and wiped out 20,000 Jingzhou defenders."

"Liu Biao was hit by an arrow and died of serious injuries!"

"All Jingzhou north of the Yangtze River has been captured by Liu Bei!"

Cao Cao suddenly reined in his mount.

The war horse under his crotch, Lulu, neighed and stood up, almost knocking Cao Cao off his horse.

The expressions of all the ministers on the left and right, including Guo Jia, changed.

"Get the battle report!"

Cao Cao shouted sternly before his horse stopped.

The messenger hurriedly offered it.

Cao Cao snatched it away and couldn't wait to take a closer look.

Then he took a deep breath.

"less than a month…"

"Liu Bei defeated Jiangling in less than a month! ?"

"Changsha veteran Huang Zhong rebelled, cooperated internally and externally, and allowed Liu Bei's army to enter the city?"

"Who is this Huang Zhong?"

"Liu Biao, a self-defending thief, was actually shot and killed by Huang Zhong?"

Cao Cao asked one question after another, and the shock on his face gradually turned into deep confusion.

Everyone in Cao Cao's camp suddenly started talking.

"Jia expected that Liu Biao was no match for Liu Bei and could not defend Jiangling."[]

"But he didn't expect that Liu Bei would break through Jiangling so easily and in such a way!"

"Sikong, Jia has a hunch that Deng Mu's advice must be indispensable behind Liu Bei's ability to capture Jiangling so quickly."

"Jia even boldly guessed that Huang Zhong's betrayal of Liu Biao was most likely his masterpiece!"

Guo Jia speculated with a solemn tone.

Cao Cao was shocked.

The mysterious name Deng Mu echoed in his ears like thunder again.

"There are only a handful of advisers under Liu Bei, and the one who could allow him to take Jiangling so easily and kill Liu Biao was none other than Deng Mu."

"I didn't expect that Liu Bei would swallow Jingzhou so easily."

"This person has already matured, and I am afraid he will become Cao Cao's great enemy in the future..."

Cao Cao sighed with emotion, and there was a hint of fear in his words.

Guo Jia put away his emotion, but handed over his hand and invited again:

"Jiangling has been lost, Sikong must immediately go south to capture Wancheng and threaten the Han River."

Cao Cao was startled, with a puzzled expression on his face, and asked:

"Liu Bei has defeated Jiangling and captured Jingzhou. He can now free up his troops to fight northward."

"What’s the point of me continuing to capture Wancheng?"

In Guo Jia's eyes, there was a hint of playfulness:

"Although Liu Biao died, could Sikong forget that there was still the little overlord Sun Ce!"

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, as if he was suddenly reminded of what he thought of

"Sun Ce is very ambitious and has already stationed troops in Chaisang. He clearly has the intention of getting involved in Jingzhou."

"Now that Liu Biao is dead, I predict that Sun Ce will not be willing to return empty-handed and watch Jingzhou being gained by Liu Bei."

"I predict that he will have a falling out with Liu Bei, fight each other, and fight to the death for Jingzhou."

"The lord can take advantage of the situation and join forces with Sun Ce to attack from the north and south and strangle Liu Bei in the cradle. He must not be allowed to secure Xuzhou!"

Guo Jia pointed out the mystery.

Cao Cao suddenly realized it and praised:

"Okay, okay, the filial piety pattern is big enough to take that little bully into consideration."

"According to your plan, I will continue to use troops against Wancheng and join forces with Sun Ce to kill Liu Bei. I will never allow him to rise and become powerful!"

At that moment, Cao Cao sent an order, ordering Cao Ren to attack Wancheng urgently.

Cao Cao personally led the main force, and went straight to Jingzhou without even entering.

…

Jiangling.

The war has ended, nearly 20,000 surrendered soldiers are being recruited, and the people of Jiangling have been calmed down.

In the mansion.

Liu Bei held a celebration banquet. One party celebrated the capture of Jiangling, and the other two also discussed the next use of troops.

"Jiangling has been conquered, and the four counties in Jingnan can be determined, and there is nothing to worry about."

"Liu Biao is dead, Liu Cong is just a puppet created by Kuai Yue"

"I predict that Kuai Yue will definitely take Liu Cong hostage and go to Chaisang to join Sun Ce in an attempt to lure Sun Ce into the situation and take back Jingzhou from his lord."

"If Sun Ce wanted to invade Jingzhou, he would have to take the brunt of Xiakou."

"If Xiakou is captured by Sun Ce, he can threaten us by going north along the Han River to Xiangfan. If he goes west along the Yangtze River, he can threaten us at Jiangling and seize the four counties in Jingnan."

"Therefore, as far as the Lord is concerned, the most important thing now is to capture Xiakou before Sun Ce!"

Deng Mu drew on the map and planned the next military strategy for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei stared at the map and kept nodding.

He had realized in his heart that his enemy had changed from Liu Biao to the little overlord of Jiangdong.

As long as Sun Ce is determined to capture Jingzhou, war between the two sides will be inevitable

"In this case, let's waitWhat?"

"Brother, please give the order immediately. We will advance by land and water, kill Huang Zu’s fellow, and seize Xiakou!"

Zhang Fei jumped up and shouted war fiercely and conceitedly. The generals were also full of fighting spirit and shouted war. It seemed that it was easy to defeat Huang Zu.

Liu Bei couldn't make up his mind and looked at Deng Mu.

But Deng Mu's eyes were Turning to Zhuge Liang, he asked:

"Kong Ming, do you think the lord should use troops against Xiakou immediately?"

He missed the opportunity from time to time to inspect and train this student.

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and was silent.

After a long time, he stood up and came to the map.

"With the current strength of our army, it is not difficult to defeat Huang Zu and capture Xiakou."

"But the difficulty is that if our army is besieging Xiakou, Sun Ce leads the Jiangdong navy up the river, how should we respond?"

"With our current navy, are we confident enough to defeat the more than 40,000 Jiangdong navy on the Yangtze River?"

Zhuge Liang responded with some rhetorical questions, stopping the impulsive momentum of the generals.

"Kong Ming’s words make sense"

"Our current navy only has a total of more than 10,000 men. If we want to defeat the 40,000 Jiangdong navy on the Yangtze River, we will not be sure of victory!"

Gan Ning, who had always been conceited, now became a little afraid of Sun Ce's Jiangdong navy. The high-spirited and confident atmosphere in the palace immediately fell silent.

"Ziyu, Kongming and Xingba’s concerns are not unreasonable"

"In your opinion, how can we capture Xiakou City?"

Liu Bei's eyes finally returned to Deng Mu.

Deng Mu returned to his seat, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said calmly:

"Don't worry, my lord, Mu has already thought of a plan for your lord!"

"Let's ask Sun Ce to work for us for nothing and help us win the Xiakou County without any effort!".
