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

"Deng Mu!"

Yuan Shao spoke in a deep tone and read out the name slowly.

When Liu Bei destroyed Liu Biao and captured Jingzhou, he was really surprised.

So he ordered a detailed investigation to investigate why Liu Bei could do so. Liu Biao was killed.

As a result, dozens of pieces of intelligence returned after careful analysis all pointed to one person:

Deng Mu!

The intelligence claimed that it was with the assistance of this person that Liu Bei was able to complete the miracle of snake swallowing the elephant, and from Liu Biao's hands Captured Jingzhou.

Yuan Shao became deeply curious about the name Deng Mu and asked for detailed investigation.

But when he learned that Deng Mu was just a poor scholar in Jingzhou, his curiosity disappeared.

"How could a poor man from a humble family have such talent?"

"It must be that the military situation is wrong and it's just spreading rumors."

This was Yuan Shao's evaluation of Deng Mu at that time. After that, he no longer took Liu Bei or Deng Mu seriously, and only concentrated on attacking Gongsun Zan.

Until a few months ago.

When he forced Gongsun Zan to death, he was proud of his unification of Hebei. At that time, news came from the south that Liu Bei had captured Jiangdong and occupied the Yangtze River.

This news really shocked him.

But what shocked him even more was that Deng Mu's name appeared in the intelligence again.

One after another The intelligence showed how Deng Mu used various ingenious strategies to help Sun Ce, who was killed by Liu Bei in"May 20", lose his troops and generals, until he died and his reputation was destroyed, and Jiangdong fell. At that time, Yuan Shao had to gradually pay attention to Deng Mu.

Until Today,

Tian Feng, who is known as the wisest man in Hebei Province, publicly expressed his fear of Deng Mu in front of the Yuan family's monarchs and ministers.

Yuan Shao's ears seemed to have been ringing with alarm bells.

"Bring me all the information about Deng Mu!"

Yuan Shao then ordered in a deep voice.

The attendants on the left and right hurriedly searched for information about Deng Mu from boxes of documents.

Not long after, stacks of thick information were presented in front of Yuan Shao's case.

Yuan Shao took a breath. With a breath, for the first time, I began to face the intelligence about Deng Mu.

The Battle of Wancheng, the Battle of Fancheng, the Battle of Jiangling, the Battle of Xiakou, the Battle of Wankou, the Battle of Jianye...

In every victory of Liu Bei, Deng Mu The ingenious and unbelievable strategies were displayed one by one in front of Yuan Shao's eyes.

"How could such a scheming person come out of a poor family?"

"Incredible, really incredible!"

Yuan Shao murmured to himself, his half-opened and half-closed eyes gradually widening.

"Snapped!"

The last piece of information was thrown on the table.

Yuan Shao's angry gaze was directed at all the counselors present, and he shouted:

"Liu Bei, a man who weaves mats and sells shoes, unexpectedly got such a clever and clever person. Why didn't you warn me earlier?"

Xu You, Guo Tu and others looked at each other in embarrassment.

It's not that they didn't remind Yuan Shao, but they, like Yuan Shao, didn't believe that such a scheming person could really come from a poor family.

"With Deng Mu assisting Liu Bei, it was like turning decay into magic, and he was soaring to the sky with an unstoppable momentum."

"The old man predicts that his next step will be to cross the river and go north to defeat Lu Bu and take Huainan into his pocket."

"With Liu Bei's ambition, he will not be satisfied with seizing half of the Jianghuai River. He will definitely take advantage of the deadly battle between his lord and Cao Cao to continue marching northward."

"At that time, Xuzhou was empty and Liu Bei would easily steal it. After that, he would continue to move north and capture Qingzhou in one fell swoop."

"Once Qingzhou is captured by Liu Bei, his troops will approach the Yellow River, threatening the security of our city of Ye and even Jizhou from the east."

"If the lord had defeated Cao Cao during the introduction, it would be easier to capture Xudu."

"If not, wouldn't the situation be in danger if there was a stalemate with Cao Cao on the frontal battlefield and Liu Bei took advantage of the situation to invade the hinterland of Hebei?"

Tian Feng once again expressed his concerns in a solemn tone.

Yuan Shao's brows could not help but become more and more frowned, and his face gradually became covered with a layer of dark clouds.

"Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Liu Bei failed to capture Qingxu, it would not have endangered our Hebei hinterland."

"But as long as he can capture Huainan, he can completely occupy Jingzhou and dominate the south."

"The lord's ambition is to unify the world, not just to destroy Cao Cao and unify the north."

"Therefore, after destroying Cao Cao, it is necessary to send troops south to attack Liu Bei."

"However, there are dense water networks in the two states of Jing and Yang, and water warfare is the priority. If the Lord wants to defeat Liu Bei, it will be much more difficult than defeating Cao Cao."

"As long as Liu Bei is not destroyed and Jingyang and Yangzhou are not conquered, won't the Lord's great cause of unifying the world be in vain?"

"That’s why I have to say that Liu Bei is the Lord’s biggest enemy."

"He is the biggest enemy that hinders the lord from unifying the world!"

Tian Feng's tone became more and more serious, and at the end he was almost stern.

Yuan Shao's body trembled when he heard it, as if he was suddenly awakened.

Then Tian Feng threw down his crutches, cupped his hands and said:

"If the lord's ambition is to conquer the two rivers and unify the north, there is no need to pay too much attention to Liu Bei."

"But if the lord’s ambition is to unify the world, then he must be one step ahead of Liu Bei and seize Huainan"

"Only in this way can the lord use the Huainan water network to train a navy army, and then rely on this navy army to cross the Yangtze River and dominate half of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River!"

Tian Feng has laid the foundation for so much and finally made his true intention clear.

To put it bluntly, he wants Yuan Shao to divide his troops and go south to snatch Huainan from Liu Bei. With

Huainan in hand, he can share the Jianghuai water network with Liu Bei equally, and then have the opportunity to form a naval army for the Create conditions for marching into Jiangdong and even Jingzhou.

Otherwise, even if you unify the north, just with a group of northern landlubbers, even if you have millions of cavalry, how can you defeat Liu Bei?

"My lord, I think what Tian Yuanhao said is absolutely true."

"Xudu is about whether the lord can unify the north, and Huainan is about whether the lord can unify the world."

"I believe that we should indeed divide our troops to capture Xuzhou from Qingzhou, and then take advantage of the situation to go south to defeat Lu Bu and seize Huainan before Liu Bei does!"

Jushou was also awakened by Tian Feng and quickly gave specific execution strategies.

Yuan Shao stood up, walked to the map hanging on the wall, stood with his hands behind his hands, stared at Huainan, and fell into deep thought.

After a long time.

Yuan Shao took a deep breath, and a certain determination flashed in his eyes.

"According to the old man's orders, all the troops from the four states of Hebei were mobilized, and the troops were sent south at the end of the day."

"I will lead a main force of 150,000 people to cross the river from Liyang to destroy the Cao thieves and take Xudu directly."

"My son Yuan Tan led 50,000 troops and went south from Qingzhou, first taking Xuzhou and then breaking through Huainan." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"I want to deal with Cao A'hao and that big-eared thief together!"

Yuan Shao gave the order in a tone that could not be questioned.

When he turned to face the ministers, his body was filled with domineering coldness and contempt for the world.

The advisers and generals suddenly stood up to accept the order.

Yuan Shao slowly walked out of the palace, Standing on a high step with hands behind your hands, looking southward

"Lu Bu, you are also the best general in the world after all."

"In this world, only I, Yuan Shao, am qualified to destroy you"

"That person who weaves mats and sells shoes is not qualified!"

…

In the spring of the fifth year of Jian'an.

Yuan Shao raised an army that overwhelmed the country, including 200,000 Hebei troops. The troops were divided into two groups, kicking off the mighty Southern Expedition.

…

Huainan, Chengde City.........

Within the county government.

Sun Quan sat high on the throne, staring with joy at the general who was half-kneeling in front of the steps.[]

"Liu Bei is narrow-minded and holds a grudge against me for not surrendering to him earlier. Not only did he order that I would never be hired, he also repeatedly suppressed my Zhu family."

Now I have realized that only you, Mr. Zhongmou, can protect my Zhu family!"

"Therefore, Huan Te led five hundred soldiers to sneak across the Yangtze River and risked his life to seek refuge with Mr. Zhongmou."

"I also ask Master Zhongmou to give me a chance to continue serving the Sun family."

Zhu Huan, who was half kneeling on the ground, expressed his intention to surrender with anger.

Sun Quan clenched his fists excitedly, with a look of uncontrollable surprise on his face.

Since Deng Mu used Lu Meng's confession, he announced that he had killed Lu Meng. After Sun Ce was convicted, his reputation plummeted in Jiangdong.

Therefore, after he took charge of Chengde and issued a call to recruit old troops, very few Jiangdong old troops came to Chengde to defect to him.

In the past three months, there were only less than Three thousand people came to seek refuge.

Just when he was disheartened, Zhu Huan led 500 troops to come to seek refuge.

This was really a timely help, how could he not be secretly happy?

"Xiu Mu, please get up quickly! Sun

Quan hurriedly went down the steps, helped Zhu Huan up, and said seriously:

"Don't worry, Xiumu. As long as you and I work together, I, Sun Quan, will lead you back to Jiangdong sooner or later."

"I promise that I will help your Zhu family ascend to the throne of the largest family in Jiangdong!"

Zhu Huan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Sun Quan again and expressed his loyalty.

Sun Quan comforted him again and then settled Zhu Huan down to rest.

"Boyan, how true do you think Zhu Huan came to vote?"

As soon as Zhu Huan was sent away, the smile on Sun Quan's face disappeared, and there was suspicion in his eyes.

"As far as I know, after Liu Bei conquered Jianye, he severely attacked the Zhu family"

"Not only was Zhu Huan not hired, Zhu's house in Jianye and the fields outside the city were all confiscated by Liu Bei and rewarded to Deng Mu."

"At that time, Master Bofu was not dead yet, and brother, you had not yet ascended to the position of Lord of Jiangdong."

"Therefore, in my opinion, Zhu Huan's return must be sincere."

Lu Xun made a careful analysis.

The suspicion in Sun Quan's eyes just disappeared, and the corner of his mouth curled up with a bit of pride.

"This Zhu Huan has quite a few generals, and the 2.8 Five Hundred Bubu under his command are all elite."

"With him coming to surrender, and with Gao Shun, even if the big-eared thief comes to attack Chengde, I have nothing to fear!"

Sun Quan felt as relaxed as if he was relieved

"Yuan Shao has now moved south. I predict that the big-eared thieves will take advantage of the situation and move north. The army's frontline will be directed towards Chengde."

"As long as we defend Chengde for a few months until the big-eared bandits lose all their energy, Lu Bu will definitely send Shouchun's troops south to relieve the siege."

"When the time comes, the inside and outside will cooperate, and Liu Bei will be defeated."

"After that, the elder brother can take advantage of the situation and send his troops south, cross the river with troops, and regain Jiangdong just around the corner."

Lu Xun's face showed the confidence of strategizing, and he outlined a blueprint for Sun Quan to regain Jiangdong.

The more Sun Quan listened, the more confident he became, so he praised:

"Dear brother, with you as the reincarnation Zhang Liang to assist you, why should I worry about not being able to regain Jiangdong and revive the foundation of my Sun family!"

The topic changed, and Sun Quan laughed again and said:

"My little sister has come to Chengde to join me. You had an engagement before, but because she was ignorant and ran away from the marriage, the good thing failed."

"I mean, not as good as you guys——"

Sun Quan didn't finish speaking.

An angry voice sounded outside the hall:

"Sun Quan, are you a dog who can't change your mind about eating shit? At this time, you still want to use my life-long event to win people's hearts!".
