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

Chapter 104

Be it Guo Jia or Li Dian.

Even a fierce man like Dian Wei.

At this moment, everyone is in despair.

There were only about two hundred people left, all wearing red and colorful clothes and exhausted.

Not to mention running into Liu Bei's ambush, even if they ran into a group of farmers carrying hoes, they couldn't resist it and could only wait to be killed.

"Could it be that Cao Cao is really destined to die here?"

Cao Cao looked up to the sky and screamed in despair.

Guo Jia also shook his head and sighed, feeling sad and ready to die.

The two hundred men could only feel desperate and watched the soldiers blocking the road coming.

Suddenly.

Dian Wei There was ecstasy in his eyes and he shouted:

"Sikong is not Liu Beijun, but one of our men!"

Cao Cao seemed to have seen the light in the darkness. He hurriedly put away his sadness and raised his head to take a closer look.

The group of men and horses in front could be vaguely seen. Sure enough, they were all Cao Jun's soldiers.

"God will not destroy me, Cao Cao, God will not destroy me, Cao Cao"

"I knew that this was already under Ye County, how could there be Liu Bei's ambush!"

"Even if God does not perish, I will, hahaha——"

Cao Cao was ecstatic, as if he had just walked away from the gates of hell, and laughed maniacally.

Everyone around him was also relieved, and they were all secretly happy.

Not long after, the group of people came forward

"Father!"

A young general rolled his saddle and dismounted, stumbled towards Cao Cao.

It was Cao Ang, the eldest son.

"Anger, as a father, I will almost never be able to see you alive.~~"

Cao Cao hugged his son, and his tears fell down uncontrollably.

Cao Ang supported Cao Cao and said with a blank look on his face:

"Father, what is going on?"

"Isn't it time for father to lead the Tiger Guards to cut off the queen? Why is it like this?"

Cao Cao was filled with bitterness. He wanted to say it but was too embarrassed to say it. He could only sigh bitterly.

If he said it too much, he would shed tears.…

"Young Master, this place is not safe. Let’s go back to Ye County first."

Guo Jia hurriedly reminded.

Cao Cao suddenly came to his senses. Without saying a word, he took his son and ran towards Ye County.

In the evening, with Cao Ang's help, Cao Cao and the two hundred shocked survivors finally escaped. Returning to Ye County.

In the mansion.

Cao Cao was starving and ate and drank without caring about the image of Sikong and his father. It was not until he was full that Cao Cao put down his bowls and chopsticks and started eating happily. burped

"Father, what's going on?"

"As for Zi Lian and his uncle, why are there only two hundred of the five thousand Tiger Guards left?"

Cao Ang asked again when he saw that Cao Cao had eaten and drank enough.

Cao Cao sighed helplessly again.

Guo Jia had no choice but to silently hear the sad news that Qian Wancheng was defeated, Cao Hong and Cao Chun died in battle, and the five thousand Tiger Guards were killed and injured. Tell the truth

"Deng Mu?"

"Is it Liu Bei, that humble military advisor?"

"He could actually see through Guo Jijiu's plan and push his father to this point?"

"Even Zi Lian, Zi and two uncles died in the battle?"

Cao Ang's face was filled with shock and horror, with an unbelievable look in his eyes.

Guo Jia looked ashamed and blamed himself:

"Shijia miscalculated and miscalculated the enemy forces in Wancheng, and failed to predict that Deng Mu would secretly come to Wancheng."

"Our army suffered such a disastrous defeat in this battle, and Jia could not escape the blame."

As he said this, Guo Jia stood up and bowed down, apologizing to Cao Cao.

Thinking of such a tragic defeat, Cao Cao did feel a bit resentful towards Guo Jia.

But then he thought about it, he was too careless at the time, and was killed by Guan Yuye Before the attack, he even asked for a beautiful woman from Cao Anmin.

He thought that his nephew might have suffered something bad as well.

"That’s all, if you lose this battle, it’s not all because of your miscalculation."

"Who could have expected that Liu Bei would send Deng Mu north to assist Guan Yu, just to catch us off guard."

Cao Cao waved his hands and did not blame Guo Jia.

Guo Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up silently.

"This time, although we suffered heavy losses, we also experienced Deng Mu’s wisdom firsthand."

"From now on, whenever I fight against Liu Bei, you must remind me to be extremely vigilant against Deng Mu."

"As for the sacrifices of Zi Lian and Zi He, as well as the five thousand soldiers, I, Cao Cao, will one day make Liu Bei pay for his debt with blood!"

At this time, Cao Cao was in shock and finally regained the domineering self-confidence of a hero.

The confidence of the generals was rekindled, and the anger of revenge was also ignited.

The generals asked for a battle one after another, wanting to lead their armies back to Wancheng to avenge their humiliation.

"Fengxiao, what do you think?"

Cao Cao looked calm and asked Guo Jia.

"Liu Bei first defeated Sun Ce, and now he defeated our army. He has secured Jingzhou, and his rise is unstoppable."

"If Sikong wants to attack Liu Bei again, he will have to recruit an overwhelming army, and it will be a protracted battle."

"But now Gongsun Zan is retreating to Yi Jing, Yuan Shao's army is approaching Youzhou, attacking and destroying Gongsun Zan, and the complete control of Hebei is close at hand."

"For Sikong, the real enemy is Yuan Shao after all."

"Therefore, it is not a wise choice to expend energy in the war with Liu Bei at this time."

After some calm analysis, Guo Jia pointed eastward.

"Jia believes that we should temporarily put aside the use of troops against Jingzhou and turn our troops to Yuan Shu as soon as possible."

"Now that Yuan Shu has arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor, everyone has rebelled against his relatives, and his strength is no longer what it used to be."

"If Sikong sends his troops to attack, he will definitely be able to defeat him wherever he goes."

"If Yuan Shu can be defeated, it will be the best. No matter what happens, Yuzhou can be included in the territory."

"At that time, Sikong occupied the four states of Yanyu and Xusi, so he could barely have the confidence to fight Yuan Shao."

Listening to Guo Jia's plan, Cao Cao's vision gradually moved from the south to Hebei.

Yuan Shao!

The most powerful prince in the world, the real overlord of the north.

Only then did he suddenly remember that Yuan Shao was his real destined enemy..

Aren’t the expeditions in the east and west in recent years all preparations for the decisive battle with Yuan Shao?

Even the attack on Wancheng to stifle Liu Bei’s rise was actually to remove the threat south of Xudu, so that he could free up his hands to resist Yuan Shao.

"Feng Xiao's words make sense, Yuan Shao is my real enemy"

"If an overwhelming army were to attack Liu Bei at this time, it would be a waste of money."

Cao Cao approved Guo Jia's suggestion and said:

"According to the filial piety plan, we should deal with Yuan Shu first and then take over Yuzhou."

"As for Liu Daer, let him be proud in the south for a few days. After I defeat Yuan Shao, it won't be too late to go back and deal with him!"

The plan was decided.

Cao Cao stood up slowly, walked out of the palace, put his hands behind his hands and looked towards the south in the direction of Jingzhou.

"Liu Bei, even if you have Deng Mu assisting you, swallowing up Jingzhou is your limit, right?"

"To the west, Liu Zhang is in danger of a mountain gorge, and to the east, Sun Ce is not comparable to Liu Biao. Even if you defeat him once, how can you capture his Jiangdong?"

"Let me see if you are trapped in a corner of Jingzhou, what other tricks can you come up with?…"

…

Xiakou, Liu Jun's camp.

At this time, Liu Bei was preparing his troops to march into Chaisang and attack Jiangdong.

At dusk, grain ships one after another, loaded with wine, meat, grain and rice, came from Xiangyang and sailed into Xiakou Camp.

These were wealthy people from Xiangyang. After learning that Liu Bei had defeated the Jiangdong Army, they jointly donated food, grass, wine and meat, and Huang Chengyan personally escorted them to Xiakou to work for the army.

The boat docked.

Boatloads of grain and rice were carried into Shuiying.

Huang Chengyan also believed that he entered the camp and went to the Chinese army tent to see Liu Bei.

Just as he passed Deng Mu's camp, a familiar face came into view.

"Yueying!"

"Yueying, is that you?"

Huang Chengyan suddenly stopped and asked loudly with joy and excitement.

Huang Yueying, who was about to check in, trembled and turned her head around.

She saw her father, just a few steps away, with a face full of surprise. look at her

"Father!"

Huang Yueying blurted out a soft call, and joy suddenly surged on her pretty face.

Huang Chengyan stumbled forward, looking at his daughter up and down, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Yueying, is it really you?"

"When Dang Yang was separated, my father searched for you for a long time but there was no news. I thought you were gone."

"Unexpectedly, you are still alive!"

Huang Chengyan was so surprised that tears streamed down his face.

Huang Yueying also cried with joy when she was reunited with her father, but she didn't know how to explain it.

"Yueying, since you are still alive, why didn't you go back to our home in Xiangyang, but instead came to Xiakou and are still in the camp?"

After Huang Chengyan calmed down a little, he finally realized that something was wrong.

Huang Yueying hesitated to speak, and a faint blush appeared on her face.

But because she had been recognized by her father, paper could not cover the fire, so she had to tell the truth about the cause and effect.

"It was Deng Ziyu who saved my daughter?"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Huang Chengyan was amazed, and his face was in disbelief.

After a while,

Huang Chengyan came back to his senses from the sigh, but he said curiously:

"Since Deng Ziyu saved you, you should go home early and tell your father so that he can thank him in person."

"Why, Yueying, you had a home and didn't go back, but instead you wronged yourself and became his maid? Huang

Yueying's face turned red again, and she mumbled:

"My daughter is not wronged, she just wants to stay with him and do what she can to repay him for saving his life.~~"

Huang Chengyan looked at her blushing and embarrassed expression and suddenly understood.

There is no way for women to stay in college.

This precious daughter of mine was rescued by Deng Mu. She was deeply in love with her and couldn't bear to leave him.

That's why she was willing to be a maid, and in the name of repaying her kindness, she wanted to always be by Deng Mu's side.

After trying to understand this section, Huang Chengyan couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that my Yueying has grown up."

"This Deng Ziyu is a rare man in the world, and he is the military advisor Xuande relies on the most. In Jingzhou, he can be said to be inferior to one person and more than ten thousand people."

"Such a husband is worthy of my daughter, Huang Chengyan."

"Yueying, don't worry. Later, my father met Duke Xuande and asked him to be a matchmaker so that Deng Ziyu could marry you."

Huang Chengyan couldn't be more satisfied with Deng Mu, his son-in-law.

Since his daughter has made a secret promise, he, as a father, will naturally go with the flow.

"Father~~"

Having seen through her thoughts, Huang Yueying complained.

Although his face was red with embarrassment, he did not deny what his father said.

After all, that night, she had given her body and mind to Deng Mu.

How could she not want to be given the opportunity to marry Deng Mu?

Huang Yueying raised her lips slightly, lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly

"Yueying, you are considered lucky to be able to marry Deng Ziyu."

"With such a virtuous son-in-law, my Huang family will be able to rest assured about my future status in Jingzhou..."

Huang Chengyan stroked his half-white beard, with a look of relief and joy on his brows.

…

Three days later.

The good news that Guan Yu defeated Cao Cao and killed Cao Hong and Cao Chun was quickly sent back to Xiakou.

The three armies were excited.

Seven days later.

Deng Mu took a boat south from Xiangyang and arrived at Xiakou Camp.

Liu Bei personally led his generals to welcome Deng Mu's return at the ferry with grand ceremony.

"Mu Xing lived up to his reputation and returned as promised within ten days, so he didn't keep his lord waiting for too long."

Deng Mu, who got off the boat, smiled and came forward to greet him.

Liu Bei stepped forward, hurriedly supported Deng Mu and said with emotion:

"Cao Cao used his troops like a god, his counselors like rain, and his generals like clouds."

"If you don't want to, the quilt will try to trick you, and you will be killed until you cut off your beard and throw away your robe, and then run away in embarrassment."

"It is really a blessing from God that I can be assisted by Ziyu, the best counselor in ancient and modern times!"

Lao Liu was extremely impressed by Deng Mu, and even praised him as the best counselor in ancient and modern times.

Deng Mu was really a little embarrassed to be given such a big hat.

So he said humbly:

"My lord, I'm serious. In fact, if Cao Cao hadn't been clever and devised a plan to hide the truth, Mu Dao wouldn't have had the chance to break it."

"To say that the merit of this battle must be attributed to the bloody battle of General Yun Chang and others."

Of course Deng Mu understands the nature of human affairs and gave the credit to Guan Yu and others.

This quality of not being arrogant and arrogant made Old Liu appreciate him more and more. Liu Bei laughed and said happily:

"Military advisor, the wine is ready. Let's have a good drink."

So the two ministers entered the big tent, and a reception banquet began.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere was pleasant.

Huang Chengyan took advantage of Liu Bei's happinessThen he coughed a few times and laughed:

""My lord, I wonder if my lord can..."

Liu Bei was startled for a moment, and then understood what he meant.

"Don’t worry, Mr. Huang, I’ll keep this in mind. Liu

Bei chuckled and said to Deng Mu:

"Ziyu, Mr. Huang has a daughter, and he says he has a close relationship with you."

"I want to be a matchmaker for you again and promise you this daughter of the Huang family. What do you think?"

Deng Mu was stunned.

What's going on, Old Liu is so good that he becomes a matchmaker again?

He wants to marry Huang Chengyan's daughter to himself?

With his status, it's not surprising that Huang Chengyan wants to marry a daughter.

But Lao Liu said that the daughter of the Huang family had a close relationship with him. What did he mean?

"My lord, Mu doesn’t quite understand."

"Huang Gong's daughter and I have never even met, so how can we talk about fate?"

Deng Mu asked confused.

Liu Bei was also stunned and turned back to look at Huang Chengyan

"Imperial Military Advisor, I know that there is a maid named Xiaoyue in your tent."

"Ziyu's military advisor only needs to invite her here and everything will be known. Huang

Chengyan said with a mysterious smile on his face.

Deng Mu became more and more confused, thinking that he was not drunk, so he heard it right. He was talking about the daughter of the Huang family, how could he be related to Xiaoyue again?

He had no choice but to He sent someone to invite Xiaoyue.

After a while,

Huang Yueying walked into the tent.

Seeing Deng Mu return and her father also there, she suddenly became nervous and blushed quietly on her face.

"Xiaoyue has met the young master, met the lord..."

After bowing to Liu Bei and Deng Mu first, Huang Yueying turned to Huang Chengyan and said in a low voice:

"The daughter met her father~~"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the tent.

No one expected that this maid would call Huang Chengyan"father""！

"Xiaoyue, what is your name, Mr. Huang?"

Deng Mu was naturally taken aback and thought he heard wrongly.

At this point, it is impossible to hide it anymore.
