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

Liu Bei showed the silk information to everyone present.

The intelligence claimed that after Sun Ce learned that Chaisang had fallen and Zhou Yu was killed, he had led his army to retreat to the front line of Wankou.

After that, Sun Ce did not personally control Wankou, but led 18,000 troops south to kill Benjing County.

The 8,000 Jiangdong Army who stayed in Anhui Province spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build three iron locks across both sides of the Yangtze River.

"The old troops of Liu Yao, commander of Taishi Ci, were entrenched between Yuzhang and Danyang."

"Going west can threaten Chaisang, going east can threaten Jianye"

"It is not difficult to understand that Sun Ce wanted to take advantage of the opportunity before his lord's army marched eastward to kill Taishi Ci first to relieve his worries."

"It's just that he put three iron locks across the Yangtze River. What does this mean?"

Lu Su saw through Sun Ce's first-level intention, but failed to see the second-level intention.

This is where Liu Bei was confused. He looked at Deng Mu.

"Kong Ming, what do you think the purpose of Sun Ce’s three iron locks is?"

Deng Mu gave this opportunity to his student.

Zhuge Liang took the silk book and looked at it carefully.

After a long time, his eyes flashed.

"Liang understands"

"Sun Ce's biggest weakness right now is that his vitality is severely damaged and his troops are too few."

"Therefore, he did not hesitate to cut off his flesh and blood, abandoned Hefei and other cities in the north of the Yangtze River, and shrank his troops as far as possible to the Yangtze River line."

"When he attacked Taishi Ci, he thought that he also had the intention of deploying Cheng Pu's five thousand soldiers and horses."

"But when he left, he took away more than half of the soldiers and horses, leaving less than 8,000 soldiers and horses in Wankou Town."

"With this small force, if the lord takes advantage of the situation and launches a massive attack, how can he withstand it?"

"So Sun Ce wanted to use this iron lock to block the river and use the iron lock to block our naval warships to make up for the weakness of insufficient troops."

"With this iron lock blocking him, he can prevent our army from taking Jiangdong directly without even using a single soldier or ship."

"This is the purpose of these three iron locks."

Zhuge Liang drew an imaginary picture on the ground and revealed the mystery.

Deng Mu nodded slightly and recognized Zhuge Liang's calculation.

Liu Bei and Lu Su suddenly realized.

Liu Bei stood up and surrounded the imaginary picture Zhuge Liang drew on the ground. Picture, I imagine the picture of the iron chain across the river

"Ziyu, what Kong Ming said makes sense."

"This iron lock cuts off the river. No matter how many 18 ships our army fights, they will not be able to pass. Will they all be blocked at Wankou?"

Liu Bei frowned, with a look of fear in his eyes.

But Deng Mu looked as usual and asked instead:

"Anyone who can come up with this plan to lock the river across the river must not be an ordinary person."

"I wonder which general of Sun Ce is this person who stayed in Wankou?"

Liu Bei seemed to remember something, so he went back to the desk and looked through the intelligence sent earlier.

He finally found an inconspicuous silk report.

"It was reported the day before yesterday that Sun Ce had appointed a young general named Lu Meng to replace Zhou Yu as the navy commander."

"Is it possible that this plan of locking the river across the river was Lu Meng’s handiwork?"

Liu Bei's eyes were blank, and he looked up at Lu Su:

"Zijing, who is this Lu Meng?"

Obviously, Liu Bei was quite unfamiliar with the name Lü Meng.

Not only him, but also Lu Su, an old general of Sun Ce, was really confused for a while when he first heard the name Lü Meng.

After racking his brains to search for memories, Lu Su finally remembered A little bit

"If Ruo Su remembers correctly, this Lu Meng should be the brother-in-law of Sun Ce’s general Deng Dang."

"After Deng Dang died in battle, this person took over Deng Dang's tribe and continued to serve Sun Ce."

"Later, Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan recommended a group of young generals, and Lü Meng was among them."

"There are rumors that Zhou Yu’s beacon tower plan was devised by this Lu Meng."

"It is said that Sun Ce was able to capture Hefei easily because of this person's contribution."

"This is all Su knows. To say that this Lu Meng does have some wisdom and scheming."

"But it was indeed surprising that Sun Ce thought so highly of him and allowed him to succeed Zhou Yu as the governor."

After listening to Lu Su's words,

Old Liu's face became more and more confused, and he couldn't help but wonder:

"How could this Lu Meng be so capable that Sun Ce could trust him so much?"

Deng Mu smiled secretly.

Old Liu, you are also making a fuss. There are so many strange people and strangers in the world.

How many ghosts and ghosts are there in your Jingzhou, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but not in Sun Ce's Jiangdong?

"This makes sense. This plan of locking the river across the river was probably Lu Meng’s handiwork."

"In terms of pure intelligence, this person's strength is still above Zhou Yu's."

Deng Mu gave an evaluation of Lu Meng.

Among the four major governors of Soochow, in terms of comprehensive ability, Zhou Yu undoubtedly ranks first.

In terms of strategic vision, Lu Su is at least better than Zhou Yu and ranks first.

As for Lu Meng, there is no strategy. Like Sun Quan, he is short-sighted and adheres to the principle of living in the present and worrying about tomorrow's things tomorrow.

But when it comes to intelligence alone, Lu Meng is definitely the first.

Although this man was a military general, he rarely used regular soldiers in battles. Most of them It's all about outsmarting the situation.

The sneak attack on Jingzhou and stabbing the second brother Guan in the back are his masterpieces.

The beacon tower and the iron lock blocking the river are small tricks that are insignificant strategically, but can make people shine in tactics. , most in line with Lu Meng’s style.

Neither Zhou Yu nor Lu Su in front of him could think of such fancy means.

"Is Lu Meng's intelligence superior to that of Zhou Yu?"

Lao Liu was really surprised when he heard Deng Mu's comments.

He naturally has a deep understanding of how capable Zhou Yu is.

This means that Zhou Yu was unlucky to meet Deng Mu. Whenever he met other counselors, I was afraid that Zhou Yu would have killed me a long time ago.

Deng Mu actually said that Lu Meng was slightly more resourceful than Zhou Yu. How could Lao Liu not be surprised?

"There are also people in Jiangdong who are crouching tigers and hidden dragons, so don’t be surprised, my lord."

"However, this Lu Meng was only limited to his stratagem. If Sun Ce replaced Zhou Yu with such a person, he would have already fallen behind and could not be defeated."

Deng Mu changed the subject and said disapprovingly:

"Just three iron locks want to stop the lord from going east to Jianye, so Lu Meng is too self-righteous."

"Don't worry, my lord, Mu has his own way to break his iron chain across the river!"

Liu Bei's spirit perked up and he was all ears.

Deng Mu took his time and told his solution.

Liu Bei's eyes suddenly became brighter, and he praised the case:

"It turns out that the plan to break the iron lock across the river is so simple."

"It seems that although Lu Meng's plan is superior to Zhou Yu's, he is still vulnerable to a blow when faced with a military advisor!"

At that moment, Liu Bei ordered to go down and make preparations in advance according to Deng Mu's strategy.

In the subsequent military meeting, Liu Bei decided on the strategy of sending troops into the hinterland of Jiangdong to capture Jianye.

While preparing to break the iron lock, he ordered The soldiers rested and transported grain and grass from Jingzhou.

At the same time, they appeased Chaisang's troops and sent some troops to go south to pacify the counties in Yuzhang.

The plan was decided and everyone was about to retire.

However, Chen arrived at the account and brought back a message

"Reporting to your lord, our navy patrol boat intercepted a boat coming from the lower reaches."

"There was a young scribe on board the ship, who claimed to be Pang Tong of Xiangyang and was the nephew of Duke Pang De. He came to serve his lord specially."

Deng Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Pang Tong.

The man who is as famous as Zhuge Liang has finally appeared.

"Pang Tong, you have come to join Old Liu after all..."

A smile appeared on the corner of Deng Mu's lips.

Wolong and Fengxiao can settle down the world together.

Since he can recruit Zhuge Liang for Liu Bei, how can he let go of Pang Tong, who is equally famous with him?.

When Jiangling was captured and Pang Degong was rescued, he inquired about Pang Tong's whereabouts.

However, Pang Degong claimed that his nephew had traveled to the east of the Huainan River before Lao Liu went south and made friends with Jianghuai heroes.

Deng Mu only I was able to put aside the matter of recruiting Pang Tong for the time being.

But I didn't expect that at this juncture of capturing Chaisang and immediately entering Jianye, Pang Tong would suddenly appear.

He even took the initiative to join Lao Liu!

What an unexpected surprise.…

"Pang Tong, nephew of Duke Pang De?"

"He is probably a young talent as well. Please invite him over quickly."

Old Liu naturally welcomes Pang Tong's coming.

But judging from his attitude, it is obvious that he does not know how powerful Pang Tong is. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Wait!"

Deng Mu stopped Chen Dao and handed over to Liu Bei:

"My lord, this Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan is a man of great talent, and his intelligence is as good as that of Kong Ming."

"The lord should personally go to greet these king's servants, so as to show the lord's courtesy and virtuous corporal."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sensation in the hall. The world is a great place!

Wang Zuo's scholar!

How important is this eight-character evaluation.

There are very few people in the world who can be worthy of this eight-character evaluation!

Deng Mu, the great disciple of Zhuge Liang His intelligence was obvious to all the other generals, including Old Liu, and he was second only to Deng Mu among the counselors. Suddenly, Pang Tong, whose reputation was unknown, suddenly appeared.

Deng Mu actually claimed that he had talents in the world, but he Comparable to Zhuge Liang?

How can we not praise him so highly?Someone was shocked

"Ziyu, is this young master of the Pang family really so great?"

Liu Bei was surprised and happy, obviously he couldn't believe it.[]

First Zhuge Liang, then Lu Su, and Deng Mu were both rated as Wang Zuo.

Now Pang Tong appeared again, another member of the royal family, and he took the initiative to come to the door.

This luck is too good.

Faced with Liu Bei's suspicion, Deng Mu just smiled.

If Zhuge Liang is best at using regular soldiers, then Pang Tong is good at winning by surprise.

The two of them, one dragon and one phoenix, are perfect.

Historically, you, Lao Liu, relied on Pang Tong's ingenious plan to successfully enter Sichuan, playing a triumphant song all the way, and almost reached Chengdu.

It's a pity that Pang Tong is good at using surprises, but he inevitably has the adventurous gene in his character. He actually led the army into battle himself, but was killed by Liu Ya.

As a result, Pang Tong wasted himself, and Lao Liu was forced to summon Zhuge Liang to Shu, which caused a large number of generals and advisers to be taken away from Jingzhou, leaving Jingzhou empty and no one to guard the home for the second brother Guan.

In the end, Jingzhou was stolen, and the second brother Guan died.

If Pang Tong does not die and Zhuge Liang continues to stay in Jingzhou, he will be able to prevent Sun Quan from stabbing him in the back.

Lao Liu did not lose Jingzhou, and he held the troops of the two states in his northern expedition. It was hard to say who would win in the world.

Of course, these secrets cannot be told to Lao Liu.

Deng Mu smiled faintly and asked:

"My lord, have you ever misjudged the people recommended to your lord by Mu?"

Liu Bei was startled, then realized it and said happily:

"The military advisor is the reincarnation of Bole, and the people he recommends are all great talents in the world!"

"You say that Pang Tong is the talent of Wang Zuo, then there is no doubt that he is the talent of Wang Zuo."

At that moment, Lao Liu had no more doubts. He immediately got up in person, led all the advisers and generals, and went out of the city to greet him.

Outside the east gate of Chaisang. Pang Tong, dressed in black, was pacing with his hands behind his back, and the word anxiety flashed vaguely on his young face..

Coming by boat from Wankou, he has made up his mind to serve under Liu Bei at the call of his uncle Pang Degong.

But after all, he is still young and has little reputation, and he has not yet earned the name"Fengxiao".

Even Liu Bei Corporal Li Xian, the most he can do is appoint a county guard with meritorious service.

If the official offer is too small, should you do it or not?

Do it, the official rank is too small and you are wronging yourself.

If you don't do it, wouldn't you miss Liu Bei's opportunity? A wise master?

Pang Tongyun was confused in his heart.

"I have admired the name Pang Shiyuan of Xiangyang for a long time, and finally got to meet him today!"

"Mr. Shiyuan, you are well prepared!"

A passionate voice sounded from behind.

When Pang Tong turned around, Liu Bei had strode out of the city gate and bowed his head.

Pang Tong917 was stunned.

All worries and anxieties disappeared at this moment.

Tangtang Liu Xuande, the great leader of Jingzhou, who was famous all over the world.

He actually led all the officials out of the city gate to greet him, a little-known person? He also claimed that he had admired his name for a long time?

He even bowed his head?

This is such a polite and virtuous corporal style. , this respect for him immediately made Pang Tong feel flattered.

"Everyone... everyone pays homage to Ambassador Liu! Pang

Tong calmed down and bowed to Liu Bei in return.

Liu Bei stepped forward, supported Pang Tong, pulled him and said with a smile:

"Shiyuan, I have prepared some wine to catch the wind and wash away the dust for you."

"Come on, let's go into the city and drink wine and talk about it all over the world."

As he said that, Liu Bei pulled Pang Tong into the city.

Pang Tong was in a state of confusion all the way. He couldn't understand why Liu Bei valued him so much. It wasn't until he sat down at the honored guest's seat and Liu Bei personally poured a glass of wine that he finally came to his senses.

"He can't unify a common people, he has little reputation and few qualifications."

"Tong is so virtuous and capable, but he is so politely treated by Liu Shijun. I am really ashamed and undeserved."

Pang Tong was a little overwhelmed by Lao Liu's courtesy.

"Shiyuan, you are so humble."

"Military Advisor Ziyu told me a long time ago that you, Pang Shiyuan, are talented in the world and can help the Han Dynasty and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty!"

"You, a genius like you, come to assist me, Liu Bei, because I, Liu Bei, am flattered!"

Old Liu was also honest with Pang Tong.

Pang Tong looked shocked and looked at Deng Mu following what Liu Bei was pointing.

"The uncle said in the letter that this Deng Ziyu was not only a scheming man, but also the reincarnation of Bole. He recommended to Liu Xuande countless outstanding talents in Jingzhou who were dormant."

"I still didn't believe it before, that there were such strange people in Jingzhou"

"When we met today, I didn’t expect that Deng Mu knew me so well. He really deserves his reputation..."

Pang Tong sighed secretly in his heart, and quickly stood up and offered his hand to Deng Mu:

"The commander-in-chief had long heard about Deng's military commander's clever plan, and he wanted to seek a sage to come to earth, and Zhang Liang was reincarnated."

"Today, Tong finally learned the lesson personally."

Deng Mu just smiled.

Pang Tong then took a deep breath and bowed solemnly to Liu Bei:

"Thanks to Mr. Liu who values ​​​​them so much, I have come here just because I want to serve under your command, to show what I have learned in my life, and to help you achieve your great cause!"

Old Liu was overjoyed and hurriedly helped Pang Tong up, laughing and saying:

"How can I, Liu Bei, be so virtuous and capable that I can be assisted by so many noble men? Now I have a genius like you, Shi Yuan."

"The Han Dynasty can be prosperous, the Han Dynasty can be prosperous!"

At that moment, Liu Bei was so heroic that he personally gave Pang Tong another glass of wine. The two ministers drank it all in one gulp.

Pang Tong's eyes were full of meaning, he cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"My lord, I came here this time and brought a gift of surrender to my lord."

"I have a plan that can help my lord break through Lu Meng's plan to block the river!".
