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

Early July.

Liu Bei led an army of 60,000 troops and arrived at Xiazhai Village, seven miles west of Niuzhu.

A battle to decide Jiangdong's ownership is imminent.

In Niuzhu Fortress, Jiangdong soldiers were panicked and their morale was low.

The Chinese military tent.

The generals were noisy and talking endlessly.

Most people's opinion is to abandon Niuzhu Fortress and retreat to Jianye City.

After all, the 20,000 troops in the camp were already Sun Ce's entire mobile strength.

Niuzhu Fortress is undefendable and will face Liu Bei's attack on water and land. The hope of holding it is slim.

If they retreat to Jianye, they can at least rely on Jianye's solid city walls to fight a protracted war with Liu Bei.

Listening to the discussion of the generals, Sun Ce's face was as gloomy as iron and he said nothing.

"Our army has less than 20,000 troops and less than 300 warships. We have no advantage in water or land warfare."

"What's even more fatal is that the soldiers' morale is low and their fighting spirit is low."

"Under such circumstances, how can we withstand the attack of Liu Bei's 60,000-strong army with high morale?"

"Lord, if Niuzhu can't defend it, let's return to Jianye and preserve our strength!"

Ling Cao represented the opinions of the majority of people and made suggestions to Sun Ce.

Although he had been reprimanded by Sun Ce because of Ling Tong's capture, he felt quite chilled.

But out of loyalty to Sun Ce, Ling Cao still put aside the mustard emperor and gave his loyal advice. Advise.

Sun Ce's fists were clenched.

Xiakou, Chaisang, Wankou... cities fell one after another.

Tens of thousands of elite troops were lost in the tragic defeats. Exhausted.

The little overlord who was invincible when he swept across Jiangdong was so arrogant.

But now he was beaten by a bunch of people who weaved mats and sold shoes. He lost consecutive battles and was beaten to the door of his house!

If Liu Bei abandoned the defense of Niuzhu, let Liu Bei He easily surrounded Jianye, forcing him to hide in the city and become a coward. Where is the dignity of his little overlord?

What will the people of Jiangdong think of him?

Who will obey him, the lord of Jiangdong?

"boom!"

Sun Ce's fist hit the table hard.

"How could I, the majestic Lord of Jiangdong, be blocked by Liu Bei and cower in front of his house without fighting?"

"I will defend Niuzhu and never let the Big-Ear bandits surround Jianye!"

As soon as these words came out, the tent was filled with astonishment.

Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, Zhu Huan and other generals all looked at each other, their eyes full of worry.

No one expected that their lord would come to this moment. You still have to act on your own initiative.

You know you can't hold on, but you still insist on being stubborn and refuse to retreat!

"My lord, please don't act out of anger!"

"Niuzhu's hope of holding on is slim. If he loses his troops and generals, he will eventually have to return to Jianye!"

"Why bother? Why not return the whole division to Jianye now, and preserve as much strength as possible, so that we can hope to defend Jianye City!"

Ling Cao is also upright, and he dares to confront Sun Ce at this time.

Sun Ce immediately became furious, pointed at Ling Cao and scolded:

"Dear Lingcao, I am determined to defend Niuzhu, but you have repeatedly shaken the morale of the army. What are your intentions?"

"Could it be that your son has surrendered the big-eared thief, and you secretly communicated with the big-eared thief to prevent me from holding on to Niuzhu?"

Ling Cao was stunned.

He was obviously loyal to remonstrate, but he was scolded by Sun Ce like this, and he openly accused himself of secretly betraying Liu Bei?

At this time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart, and he felt as if he had sincerely fed the dog.

Xu Sheng and other generals wanted to say a few words of justice for Ling Cao, but seeing that Sun Ce was so angry that he lost his mind, they all kept silent and no one dared to say anything.

"What Bo Fu said makes sense!"

"You are the son of Sun Wentai, the majestic lord of Jiangdong, the overlord is reborn!"

"How can we be afraid of that big-eared thief who is like a tiger and shrinks into Jianye like a tortoise, making everyone in the world laugh at him!"

"I am willing to risk my life, fight side by side with you, Bo Fu, and defend Niuzhu to the death!"

The veteran general Cheng Pu stood up, impassioned, and stood on Sun Ce's side.

Cheng Pu was so qualified, and once he spoke, the generals did not dare to have any objections.

Ling Cao could only sigh secretly, with a sad face, and silently He lowered his head.

Cheng Pu's statement greatly encouraged Sun Ce, and his confidence surged.

"As expected of General Cheng, this is what a minister of my Sun family should have! Sun

Ce praised him greatly, jumped up and said proudly:

"Pass on my orders, gather all the troops, and follow me to defend Uzhu!"

"In this battle, I will destroy the arrogance of the big-eared thief and make his plan to swallow up my Jiangdong come to nothing!"

"I want you to show your blood and fight side by side with me!"

Seeing Sun Ce's determination, the generals had no choice but to muster up the courage and reluctantly responded generously.

Only Lu Meng, who was hiding in the corner, frowned slightly and a dark cloud appeared in his eyes.

"It seems that Mr. Zhongmou is right. The Lord's heart is as high as the sky. Now he has been knocked down from the clouds by Liu Bei. His spirit and will have been severely damaged, and he has some signs of madness and violence."

"If you continue to follow him, I'm afraid he will lead you to destruction sooner or later..."

Lu Meng's thoughts changed, and a certain determination gradually flashed in his eyes.

…

Seven miles west of Niuzhu Fortress is Liu Jun's camp.

Inside the Chinese army's tent.

Liu Bei was discussing with his advisers and generals the strategy of capturing Niuzhu.

"Sun Ce's troops were less than 20,000, their morale was low, and their morale was disorganized."

"Niuzhu Fortress is called a fortress, but it is actually undefeable. It is just a flood and drought camp."

"It is generally estimated that the little overlord will choose to abandon Niuzhu and try his best to save his strength and retreat to Jianye."

"He can only hope to form a fierce battle with our army by relying on Jianye's strong city wall."

"In this way, the lord should be able to take down Uzogisa without a single blow."

Pang Tong pointed to Niu Zhu on the sand table and made a careful analysis and deduction.

This deduction was reasonable and well-founded, and most people agreed with it.

"What Shi Yuan said is not unreasonable. It would be great if we could defeat Uuzhu without fighting. Liu

Bei nodded slightly and looked at Deng Mu:

"Military advisor, in your opinion, should I immediately give the order to capture Niuzhu?"

Lao Liu probably thought that he could capture Niuzhu without any bloodshed.

Deng Mu stared at the sand table for a long time and then said:

"My lord, Mu thought that our army would have to fight a bloody battle before we could capture Niuzhu."

Liu Bei and Pang Tongyi were startled, and both looked at Deng Mu.

"If it were Sun Quan who was in charge of Jiangdong, I'm afraid that guy would not only abandon Niuzhu and retreat to Jianye, but he might also have given up and sued for peace."

"Even the lowered table has been sent to the main case."

"Sun Ce is different"

"This little overlord is just like Xiang Yu, his heart is as high as the sky and he is extremely proud."

"Just like Xiang Yu would rather die than cross the Wujiang River, Sun Ce would never abandon Niuzhu without a fight and hide in Jianye to be a coward."

"I predict that for the sake of the dignity of the so-called little overlord, he will risk all his troops and defend Niuzhu without retreating!"

Deng Mu gave his explanation.

The main point was to grasp Sun Ce's temperament.

Lu Su nodded slightly and said:

"Military Advisor Deng's speculation was not unreasonable. Based on Su's understanding of Sun Ce, it was indeed possible for him to make such an irrational decision."

The words just fell.

Chen arrived at the account and sent a scout's latest spy on the enemy.

Liu Bei then ordered it to be read out in public.

"Sun Ce had also transferred the Jianye garrison to Niuzhu and assembled 20,000 troops to assume the position of sticking to Niuzhu."

"Now the enemy is working day and night to dig trenches outside Niuzhu Fortress and add antlers to strengthen the camp defense!"

There was a shocked discussion in the tent.

Everyone looked at Deng Mu in admiration.

"People say that Military Advisor Deng has the ability to understand people's hearts. Once I saw Tong today, I was really convinced."

"Sun Ce's every move is under the control of his military advisor. Pang

Tong bowed to Deng Mu and expressed his sincere admiration.

While Liu Bei was impressed, he sighed:

"As the military advisor said, it seems that Sun Ce is determined to defend Niuzhu."

"If our army does not fight a fierce battle, I am afraid that it will be impossible to remove the stumbling block of Niuzhu and achieve success."

Deng Mu dismissed it and sneered: (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"When the battle reached this point, Sun Ce's elite troops had been defeated by Zhou Yu and Lu Meng, and his 20,000 soldiers and horses were nothing more than a rabble."

"In this battle, we won’t play any tricks, the lord will just eat him!"

"In this battle, the lord completely defeated Sun Ce's spirit and will!"

Liu Bei's heroic spirit was suddenly ignited by Deng Mu's words.

"According to the military advisor's plan, we will attack Niuzhu tomorrow!"

"Gan Xingba commanded the navy and attacked the enemy's water camp via waterways."

"I will unify the infantry army and attack Sun Ce's dry camp from land!"

"In this battle, I will take on Sun Ce and defeat him completely!"

The generals' blood was boiling and they accepted the order with great enthusiasm.

The decisive battle strategy was decided, and the generals retired to make preparations.

Deng Mu also retired and went back to his military tent. As soon as he entered the tent , the aroma of wine and meat was added. The fragrance of powder comes right to your nose

"Military Advisor Deng is back. He must be hungry."

"Wan'er has prepared some food and wine. I don't know if they suit Commander Deng's taste, so Commander Deng should take advantage of the opportunity to eat some."[]

Xiao Qiao came forward with a smile and helped Deng Mu sit down.

They are serving food and wine, so attentive.

Looking at the table full of food and wine, and then looking at Xiao Qiao who was smiling and talking happily, Deng Mu could smell something like being courteous for nothing, something that was either adultery or theft.

I didn't criticize her at the moment, I just enjoyed her attentiveness.

After a few drinks.

Xiao Qiao said while adding wine in his hands:

"Commander Deng, Wan'er has a private matter and would like to ask Commander Deng for help. Is that possible?"

Deng Mu smiled.

This girl really wants to ask for something.…

"What kind of private matter is it? Let Miss Qiao tell me."

Deng Mu took the wine glass and asked casually

"Military Advisor Deng also knew that when our family went south to seek refuge, we were unfortunately separated in the Hefei area."

"My late father and I were captured by Sun Ce, but my mother and sister have disappeared."

"A while ago, I received a message from my sister's trustee, saying that she and her mother are currently hiding in the countryside near Jianye."

"I think Liu Shijun is about to attack Jianye. This war is in chaos. I am only afraid that my mother and sister will be in danger."

".So I thought if Military Advisor Deng could send some troops to Jianye to pick up my mother and sister in advance, so that I could feel at ease."

Xiao Qiao explained the reason for her diligence.

Deng Mu suddenly realized.

It turned out that she was asking him to save the lives of his mother and sister Da Qiao.

It was just a small effort. Xiao Qiao pleaded like this, so naturally he had no reason to refuse.

Deng Mu Immediately called Zhou Cang and ordered him to arrange for men to sneak into the vicinity of Jianye and bring Da Qiao's mother and daughter to meet him.

"Thank you so much, Commander Deng, for being so kind and generous. Please pay my respects to Wan'er.~~"

Xiao Qiao was overjoyed and grateful, and immediately bowed down.

Deng Mu reached out and grabbed her arm, gently supported her, and said calmly:

"Even with your table full of delicious dishes, I can’t help but help you with this little effort."

"There is no need to be so polite between you and me."

There is no need to be so polite between you and me", which seems to have a deep meaning.

Xiao Qiao's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, and his face was suddenly filled with a faint feeling as he was suddenly thinking about it.

"What he means by this is that he no longer treats me as an ordinary woman, but wants to accept me as..." Thinking of this, Xiao Qiao suddenly blushed and was ashamed to think about it any more.

The corners of his lips raised slightly, and he lowered his eyebrows and smiled. , but there seems to be a bit of secret joy

"Miss Qiao, I see that your face is a little red. Could it be that you have a cold or a fever?"

Deng Mu noticed something was wrong with her face.

"Make a fuss?"

Xiao Qiao's eyes were blank and confused.

"It's not a tantrum, it's a fever!"

Deng Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to change his words and ask:

"I want to ask, are you feeling unwell?"

Xiao Qiao then realized that her face was so red that she almost had the words"Girl Huai Chun" carved on her face.

"Maybe it's too hot in this tent. Commander Deng drinks slowly while I go get some fresh air."

"There are still a few dishes that haven't been served. I'll go and hurry up the chef.~~"

Xiao Qiao found an excuse and hurriedly fled out of the tent.

The moment he put down the curtain, Xiao Qiao took a long breath, and the heat on his face gradually cooled down.

"Anyway, at the time of Chai Sang, he had already given my body to... to that (Prince Li)"

"Now listening to his tone, he seems to want to take me as his concubine."

"If that's the case, then there's no harm in me committing myself to him."

"Being able to marry such a wonderful man, even if it is to be a concubine, is not a wrong to me..."

Xiao Qiao pursed her lips and snickered.

…

The next day, it was dawn.

Inside the Liuying camp.

The gates of the two camps, flood and drought, are all wide open.

Gan Ning commanded 800 warships and 15,000 naval soldiers, and set out from the water camp in a mighty manner.

The warships lay flat on the river and formed an offensive formation, approaching the Niuzhu water camp.

On land.

Liu Bei personally led an army of more than 50,000 infantry and cavalry, marching eastward along the south bank of the Yangtze River, approaching Niuzhu Dry Camp.

When the sky is bright.

The land and water armies approached Niuzhu Fortress at the same time.

The outline of Uuzu Fortress ahead came into view.

At this time, inside the camp.

Sun Ce has personally unified more than 10,000 infantry troops and is waiting in strict formation at the front line of the dry camp.

Cheng Pu then commanded more than 5,000 naval troops and deployed defenses along the river beach.

Jiangdong's army of less than 20,000 men assumed a posture of sticking to Niuzhu and refusing to retreat until death.

"Sun Ce, let me knock you down from the clouds in this battle..."

Liu Bei took a deep breath, raised his whip, and shouted:

"I sent an order to General Wu to order Gan Ning to lead the navy to attack the water camp immediately."

"Taishi Ci was the vanguard and led 10,000 infantry to clear the way and attack Niuzhu Dry Camp."

"The remaining generals, each commanding their own troops and horses, pressed forward"

"Within an hour, I will destroy Niuzhu Fortress!"

The flag waved and the horn sounded.

More than 60,000 land and sea troops, with a deafening sound of killing, rushed towards the Niuzhu Fortress.

Inside the dry camp.

Sun Ce immediately raised his spear, looking at him with cold and arrogant eyes. The overwhelming force of Liu Jun came over.

When a"Taishi" flag first hit the field of vision, the veins on Sun Ce's face instantly bulged, and endless anger burned in his eyes.
