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

Break Chaisang in three days?

Liu Bei perked up and his eyes suddenly filled with surprise.

Originally, Deng Mu's plan was to order Ding to serve Jiang Qin and burn Zhou Yu's grain and grass, causing the defenders in the city to rebel without a fight in order to destroy Chai Sang.

However, Zhou Yu was so ruthless that he came up with the idea of ​​plundering the people's food and grass.

The current supply of grain and grass in Chaisang City can last at least about half a month, and the morale of the army has been restored again.

Under such circumstances, Deng Mu actually had a plan to destroy Chaisang in three days?

The generals looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes.

Liu Bei was convinced and immediately asked:

"I wonder if the military advisor has any clever plan to defeat Chaisang in three days?"

The generals also widened their eyes and gathered towards Deng Mu.

"Although Zhou Yu is proud and arrogant, he is not stupid"

"That's why he still refused to abandon the city and break out of the siege even though his grain and grass were being burned. Instead, he did not hesitate to starve the people to death and forcibly plundered grain and grass to keep himself alive."

"The reason is also simple, because he knows very well that our army is besieged on all sides and will not give him a chance to break out."

"Because he has no choice but to continue to hold on"

"But Zhou Yu should also know that the food and grass collected can only last for half a month at most. After half a month, the food is exhausted, and he still cannot escape the disintegration of the morale of the army and the end of the city."

"Therefore, what the lord has to do is to give him a hope that he can leave Chaisang City alive."

Liu Bei's eyes changed, and he seemed to understand Deng Mu's words.

Deng Mu took a sip of tea and continued:

"The lord can send an envoy to Chaisang City and promise Zhou Yu that as long as he is willing to lead his army to withdraw from Chaisang, the lord can let him live."

"The Lord will withdraw the northern encirclement and prepare a hundred grain ships for him on the northern river beach."

"He could lead his army out of the city through the north gate of Chaisang, go to the river, take a boat down the eastward river, and go to join Sun Ce."

"In this way, wouldn't we be able to capture Chaisang City within three days without losing any blood?"

General Deng Mu made a comprehensive plan and Taoist general came out.

This strategy, to put it bluntly, is to take down Chaisang without any blood at the cost of letting Zhou Yu and 6,000 Jiangdong troops go.

At the same time, it also prevents the people in the city from starving to death by Zhou Yu. Liu Bei suddenly understood, nodded and praised:

"The military advisor's plan is very good. It is indeed a good way to defeat Chai Sang quickly."

"Anyway, our primary goal in this battle is to capture Chaisang. If we can't destroy Zhou Yu's 6,000 men, we'll fall into the second place."

At this time,

Lu Su, who was also enlightened, reminded:

"The military advisor's plan is indeed a good way to defeat Chai Sang quickly."

"But Zhou Yu has always been proud and arrogant, so he is afraid that he will think that his lord's condition is a humiliation for him and he will reject it?"

Liu Bei was at a loss for words. What Lu Su said was not unreasonable.

The dignified Jiangdong Zhou Lang was known as the most intelligent general in Jiangdong. What a status he had.

In order to save his life, he had to bow to him and give up Chaisang City. In exchange for letting him live, what would be his reputation as Zhou Lang if word spread?

What face would he have to face Sun Ce?

"It is precisely because Zhou Yu is proud and arrogant that he is even more willing to agree to his lord's condition!"

"Let me ask Zijing, do you think Zhou Yu gave up Chai Sang in exchange for the humiliation of saving one life?"

"Or will the city be broken into and humiliated as a prisoner of the lord's subordinates?"

Deng Mu, with a sneer on his face, answered Lu Su's concerns with a rhetorical question.

Lu Su was shocked and suddenly realized.

He abandoned the city and fled in despair.

He became a prisoner under the stairs and knelt at Liu Bei's feet.

This is still No need to ask.

For Zhou Yu, the latter must be a hundred times more humiliating!

"Jing Ziwen has known Zhou Yu for a long time, but he doesn’t know him as well as the military advisor. I feel ashamed."

"Yes, given the lesser of two evils, Zhou Yu would definitely choose the former."

Lu Su laughed at himself and bowed to Deng Mu.

Deng Mu cleared away the doubts, and the worries on Lao Liu's face immediately disappeared.

"Okay, okay, just follow the military advisor's advice"

"Without further ado, I will send an envoy to Chaisang immediately!"

…

At nightfall.

Inside Chaisang Mansion.

Zhou Yu frowned deeply and stared at the letter written by Liu Bei in his hand.

The Jiahua, He Qi and other generals on the left and right were all secretly delighted, with uncontrollable excitement in their eyes.

Just a moment ago, Liu Bei's envoy entered the city, bringing Liu Bei's handwritten letter and his personal promise:

As long as you, Zhou Lang, are willing to give up Chaisang, I will withdraw from the siege of the North Gate.

A hundred fishing boats will be prepared for you by the river north of the city. You can take your thousands of remaining soldiers to see Sun Ce.

The generals are suffering from running out of food and grass, and they are afraid of being trapped in Chaisang City.

At this critical moment, Liu Bei gave them hope of life.

"Governor Zhou, the food and grass in the city can only last for ten days at most."

"After the food is exhausted, the soldiers will be morally confused and surrender without a fight."

"Chaisang City still cannot be defended"

"Knowing that it is a dead end, why don't we seize this opportunity and save these thousands of troops for our lord."

Jia Hua immediately offered persuasion.

Of course, the reason cannot be said to be to save his life, but to preserve Sun Ce's strength.

This is a high-sounding reason, but you still have to have it.

"Who am I, Zhou Yu, and you want me to bow to that big-eared thief and give up Chai Sang in exchange for my own escape?"

"Where is my face, Zhou Yu? How can I get to Nian Bo Fu?"

Zhou Yu slapped the letter on the table and asked the generals angrily.

Obviously, for him, reputation and dignity are more important than the lives of these thousands of soldiers.

"Governor, only when you can bend and stretch can you become a man."

"The governor's agreement to Liu Bei's conditions was indeed an insult to the governor's reputation."

"But this humiliation is a hundred times better than having the governor captured by the big-eared thieves after the city was broken, and becoming a prisoner of his subordinates, right?"

"I would like to ask the governor to think twice."

Jia Hua analyzed the pros and cons again and gave earnest persuasion.

Zhou Yu's figure froze, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.

A picture immediately emerged in his mind:

Liu Bei was sitting on top, and Deng Mu was sitting beside him..

The two masters and ministers looked at him as a prisoner with cold eyes with the arrogance of a winner, and knelt humbly in front of them.

The humiliation was more uncomfortable than killing him!

In comparison, trading Chaisang City for a way out, That little bit of humiliation seemed insignificant.

Zhou Yu picked up the letter again, looked at it again, and fell into silence.

After a long time,

Zhou Yu sighed and waved his hands reluctantly:

"In reply to the big-eared thief, just say that I accept the conditions he proposed."

Jia Hua congratulated Qi and other generals. They were all relieved, as if they had been pardoned.

"The governor is able to bend and stretch, he is truly a man."

"In fact, the main responsibility for Chai Sang's mistake this time also lies with Han Yigong's failure to defend Shuiying, and the fault does not lie with the governor."

"The commander-in-chief has been kept useful and has saved 6,000 troops for the lord. The lord will be very pleased."

Jia Hua was overjoyed and hurriedly flattered Zhou Yu, making the ladder more comfortable for Zhou Yu.

But Zhou Yu ignored Jia Hua's flattery and stared at Liu Bei's autographed letter in his hand, with a sarcastic sneer on his lips.

"Liu Bei, this is probably Deng Mu’s trick again."

"Do you think that I, Zhou Yu, will be teased by him this time after I have suffered so much from him?"

"If you want to trap and kill me, I will take advantage of the situation and break out!"

…

Two days later, it was night.

Under the North Gate, there was a lot of chatter.

The people in Chaisang City were all driven to the front line of the North Gate, and were also forced to put on the Jiangdong Army's armor.

These people, who were so hungry that they were weak and weak, were all in panic and didn't know what Zhou Yu was going to do to them.

Zhou Yu stood at the top of the city with his hands folded, looking down at the panicked people with cold eyes.

"Commander, I really don’t understand"

"Since we are leaving the city, why do we have to bring so many people with us and make them put on our military uniforms? Isn't this a burden?" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Also, Liu Bei promised to withdraw the encirclement camp at the north gate. Why did the governor give the order to gather all the troops and horses to the south gate?"

Jia Hua finally couldn't help it and questioned Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu snorted coldly and asked:

"Jia Hua, do you really think Liu Bei will let us go?"

Jia Hua was stunned.

"That big-eared thief only claims to be benevolent and righteous, but in reality he is ruthless."

"That Deng Mu was even more cunning and full of vicious schemes."

"How could his two principals and ministers just watch and let go of our 6,000 soldiers and horses?"

"So I guessed that this must be Deng Mu's trick to lure the enemy, luring us out through the north gate on the pretext of letting us escape. Zhou

Yu raised his hand and pointed towards the north of the city:

"Liu Bei seemed to have withdrawn the North Gate encirclement, but in fact he would have secretly set up an ambush."

"Once our army leaves the city, it will definitely be ambushed and the entire army of 6,000 soldiers and horses will be wiped out!"

"You and I will also die under the sword of the big-eared thief!"

Jia Hua was frightened when he heard these words, and he broke into a cold sweat in an instant.

"What the governor meant was that Liu Bei was deceiving?"[]

"But Liu Bei's envoy said that Liu Bei had sworn by the Yangtze River that he would withdraw from the siege of the North Gate, and would prepare hundreds of ships by the river to let us leave on our own."

"Will Liu Bei really break his oath?"

Although Jia Hua woke up with a start, he still had some luck.

After all, the Han Dynasty reaffirmed their oaths, and Liu Bei was a powerful prince, and he swore by the Yangtze River.

He didn't quite believe that Liu Bei would break his oath and be ridiculed by the world.

"The world is in chaos today, and the princes are all deceitful and will use any means to fight for an inch of land."

"I don’t believe that Liu Bei will be an exception"

"Even if Liu Bei wants to let us go, I predict that Deng Mu will never agree and will definitely encourage Liu Bei to cheat so that he can get rid of me and these six thousand soldiers!"

Zhou Yu's face was full of sarcasm, and his words were arrogant and confident, as if he knew Liu Bei and Deng Mu well.

Jia Hua didn't dare not believe it and said hurriedly:

"Since the governor saw through Liu Bei's vicious plan, why would he agree?"

Zhou Yu raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"It is precisely because I saw through their vicious scheme that I decided to take advantage of the situation and lead them to break through and carve out a bloody path."

Jia Hua was confused again and couldn't understand Zhou Yu's meaning at all.

"Since the big-eared thief intends to ambush our army, the main force will definitely be transferred to set up an ambush outside the north gate."

"As a result, the strength of the other sects will naturally be greatly reduced."

".I disguised the people as my army and drove them out of the north gate to attract the ambush of the big-eared thieves."

"However, I led you and others to fight out from the south gate, broke through the southern encirclement by surprise, took advantage of the situation and retreated to Yuzhang County, and then took the overland road to meet up with Bo Fu."

"By the time the big-eared thief reacted, we were already out of the cage, leaving him far behind!"

Zhou Yu stopped laying the groundwork and revealed his overall plan.

Jia Hua suddenly realized it, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. He raised his hands and said in admiration:

"The governor used this move to make a plan and attack in the east and west. It was really brilliant!"

"No wonder the Lord relies so much on the Governor. The general finally saw the Governor’s clever plan with his own eyes today!"

"The governor is really not to blame for the fall of Chaisang. The Lord will have to rely on the governor to recover Chaisang and repel the big-eared thief in the future!"

Jia Hua bowed deeply and expressed sincere admiration.

Zhou Yu smiled, looked up at the moonlight, waved his hand and said:

"It's almost time, open the city gate and drive these people away."

Jia Hua immediately accepted the order.

The city gate was opened and the suspension bridge was lowered.

The soldiers beat and cursed and forced thousands of people out.

These Chaisang people were so hungry that their chests were pressed against each other because their food and grass were looted. Back.

Now that I finally had the chance to leave the city, I felt as if I had been granted amnesty. I suppressed my hunger and fled north with all my strength.

"Liu Bei, you claim to be benevolent and righteous, and you want to save the people in this city."

"Now you want to kill these people with your own hands and let me fly away from under your nose."

"I really want to see how you and Deng Mu will look furious after learning the truth."

"Hahaha——"

Zhou Yu laughed out loud for a long time.

The laughter stopped suddenly, Zhou Yu got on his horse, raised his whip and shouted:

"Come on, let’s go to the south gate!"

A group of people galloped away on horseback.

A quarter of an hour later, the south gate opened wide and the suspension bridge was lowered.

Zhou Yu drew his sword in his hand and pointed forward:

"Young men of Jiangdong, tonight I, Zhou Yu, will lead you to fight a bloody road and take you back to Jiangdong!"

"The whole army listened to the order and worked together to break through the enemy's encirclement!"(Good Money)

Zhou Yu roared loudly and galloped out on horseback.

Six thousand Jiangdong soldiers, like wild dogs out of the cage, followed him and rushed out of the gate, rushing towards Liu Jun's southern encirclement camp.

A few hundred steps away. Liu

Jun surrounded the camp in the south.

On the watchtower, Liu Bei and Deng Mu stood side by side, looking at the south gate of Chaisang in the distance.

"Ziyu, as you said, I have mobilized all the troops and horses to the south gate."

"At this time, Zhou Yu should have led his army out of the city through the north gate."

"You should tell me now why you mobilized a large army to encircle the camp at the south gate."

When Liu Bei saw that the moon had passed high in the sky and the appointed time had come, he couldn't help but ask Deng Mu.

Just before dark, he had ordered all the camps in the north to be evacuated.

At the same time, preparations were made for Zhou Yu on the bank of the river. He had hundreds of ships.

He was ready. Just waiting for Zhou Yu to withdraw as promised, he ordered the army to garrison Chaisang.

Unexpectedly, Deng Mu suddenly spoke and told him to gather all his troops and horses in the south gate camp.

Liu Bei was confused.

Around him Lu Su also looked puzzled.

"The Lord is a gentleman. Since he pledged his oath to the Yangtze River and promised to let Zhou Yu evacuate, he will naturally not break his promise."

"But in this age of intrigue, not everyone is as trustworthy and righteous as our lord."

"That Zhou Yu, he would never believe that his lord would really keep his promise and let him leave alive."

"Therefore, I predict that Zhou Yu will make the people pretend to be soldiers and pretend to withdraw from the north gate, thinking that the lord will ambush him outside the north gate with a large army."

"And he took advantage of the emptiness of our south gate encirclement camp and led his entire army to break through the encirclement from the south gate!"

Deng Mudao solved the mystery and raised his hand to point forward:

"I asked my lord to move all the troops and horses to the south gate, just to stop the fleeing enemies and make Zhou Yu pay the price for his self-righteousness!"

The words just fell.

Outside the camp, the horn sounded, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Liu Bei and Lu Su looked at each other suddenly, and their expressions suddenly changed.
