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

Shouchun, a secret room.

Chen Gongzheng was drinking with two generals.

One of the two generals is Hao Meng. Among Lu Bu's generals, he has the closest relationship with Chen Gong.

Another general is Ji Ling, who was originally a general under Yuan Shu.

When Lu Bu rebelled, Ji Ling originally led his troops to guard the area. Since his family members were all in Shouchun, he had no choice but to appoint Lu Bu as his new master.

"Two generals, you must also know that Yuan Benchu ​​is heading south in a big way."

"On the Western Front, Cao Cao has retreated to Guandu and is hunkering down. I believe he will not be able to hold on for long."

"On the eastern front, it is reported that Cao Ren also had to abandon Langxie Kingdom and most of Donghai County due to insufficient troops, and retreated to the Tancheng line."

"I believe it is only a matter of time before Prince Yuan captures Xuzhou."

"It should be a foregone conclusion that Cao Cao was overthrown and Yuan Benchu ​​unified the two rivers."

Chen Gong poured wine for the two of them while analyzing the situation in the Central Plains.

When the conversation changed, Chen Gong sighed:

"It's a pity that Marquis Wen still harbors illusions and is undecided about forming an alliance with Cao Cao or relying on Yuan Benchu."

"When Cao Cao is overthrown and Yuan Benchu ​​has conquered the Central Plains, I'm afraid it will be too late if Marquis Wen wants to befriend Yuan Benchu ​​again."

Chen Gong's words, consciously or unconsciously, revealed some complaints about Lu Bu.

"Chen Biejia's words make sense"

"The fourth and third princes of Yuan Gong raised their arms and called for the world to respond."

"Now taking the troops from the four states of Hebei and heading south, how could Cao Cao be his opponent?"

"Forgive me for offending Marquis Wen. Marquis Wen still doesn't understand the situation clearly. He is really confused."

Ji Ling immediately agreed with Chen Gong and complained a lot.

"If Marquis Wen wants to have both sides, I think he will only offend Mr. Yuan."

"Now we can seek refuge with Mr. Yuan as soon as possible, and we can have a better future with him."

"When Duke Yuan destroys Cao Cao in the future, I'm afraid if he wants to take refuge with Duke Yuan again, he may not agree to it."

"When the Yuan family's army comes to attack, don't we have to accompany Marquis Wen to wait for death?"

Hao Meng also drank a few glasses of wine, mumbling and complaining.

The corners of Chen Gong's mouth rose quietly, and he raised his glass to the two of them and said:

"It seems that the two of you and I, Chen Gong, really have the same views as heroes."

"230 If you can trust me, Chen Gong, I, Chen Gong, would like to send someone to express my goodwill to Mr. Yuan secretly on behalf of the two generals. What do you think?"

Ji Ling and Hao Meng looked at each other and immediately understood Chen Gong's intention.

He wanted to pull the two of them together, form a small gang behind Lu Bu's back, and secretly flirt with Yuan Shao.

"Marquis Wen is self-willed, confused and has no regard for the future of our subordinates."

"In this case, we have to make plans for ourselves in advance. I, Hao Meng, am willing to follow Chen Bie’s lead! Hao

Meng nodded without hesitation.

Ji Ling pondered for a moment and then said:

"I am originally a minister of Yuan Jiujiu, that is, a minister of the Yuan family. With Yuan Jiujiu gone, it is only natural that I continue to be loyal to Yuan Benchu."

"Since we are of the same mind, I, Ji Ling, am willing to follow Chen Bie's lead!"

Chen Gong was relieved and immediately raised his glass.

The three of them drank together and laughed.

As soon as the wine entered their throats, the confidants and guards rushed in in a panic and whispered something to Chen Gongfu.

"What?"

"Marquis Wen was defeated by Liu Bei and returned with a disastrous defeat?"

Chen Gong exclaimed, his face suddenly changed.

Ji Ling and Hao Meng were also shocked, and their expressions changed.

The three of them decided to secretly join Yuan Shao, just because Yuan Shao was powerful and no one could defeat him.

But They had no doubts about Lu Bu's strength.

Even Chen Gong, who had opposed Lu Bu going south to fight Liu Bei, was just worried that Lu Bu would lose. But they didn't expect that Lu Bu's battle would not only be a defeat, but also an in vain. The previous disastrous defeat!

Not to mention more than half of the 30,000 army were killed or wounded, and even the 3,000 wolf cavalry were almost wiped out.

Even Generals Song Xian and Hou Cheng also died in the battle.

"That big-eared thief is so strong?"

"Marquis Wen went out personally and brought three thousand wolf cavalry with him. How could he be so miserable?"

Ji Ling exclaimed with a trembling voice, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Chen Gong took a few breaths, and his shocked mood subsided a little.

"As expected, Liu Bei is no longer what he used to be"

"After getting Deng Mu, Liu Bei is now like a flying dragon in the sky, and he is out of control."

"Looking at the world, I am afraid that only Mr. Yuan can defeat Liu Bei, and even Cao Cao is no match for him..."

Chen Gong sighed with emotion, and no longer had the slightest contempt for Liu Bei between his brows.

Ji Ling and Hao Meng looked shocked, Can't calm down for a long time

"Now that Marquis Wen has been defeated miserably, Liu Bei's army will surely surround Shouchun. What should we do?"

Hao Meng came back to his senses and immediately panicked.

Chen Gong pondered for a long time, but a playful sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Marquis Wen's defeat was a big defeat for him."

"For us, it may not be a good thing"

"In this case, don't we have sufficient reasons to persuade him to abandon Huainan and go north to join Duke Yuan?"

As soon as these words came out,

Ji Ling and Hao Meng perked up, and their expressions suddenly turned from worry to joy.

If Lu Bu defected to Yuan Shao, doesn't it mean that their generals could also defect to Yuan Shao and leave the right and wrong of Shouchun? Land.

In this case, wouldn’t they be justified in switching to Yuan Shao’s command?

The three of them looked at each other with a knowing smile on their faces.

…

At nightfall.

Lu Bu, who fled back to Shouchun in despair, met Chen Gong with a feeling of shame.

"If it weren't for that treacherous man Deng Mu, I would have beheaded the big-eared thief long ago!"

"This thief, I will kill him with my own hands sooner or later!"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

Although he felt ashamed, the pride of the best general in the world did not allow him to admit his fault.

He definitely could not bear the blame for the defeat.

So he scolded Deng The Queen Mother looked at Chen Gong again.

"Chen Gongtai, why didn't you warn me earlier that Deng Mu would cheat?"

"Now that I have suffered such a great defeat, my soldiers have suffered numerous casualties, and the army of big-eared thieves is approaching Shouchun again!"

"Tell me how I should clean up this mess!"

Lü Bu not only did not admit his fault, but instead put the blame for the defeat on Chen Gong.

Chen Gong was shocked, his fists clenched quietly, and a look of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

I thought back on how many times I advised you, Don't underestimate Liu Bei and Deng Mu, and don't underestimate the enemy and go to war.

It was you who didn't listen to the advice and was arrogant and insisted on going to war.

Now that you have lost, you don't feel ashamed, but blame me for my miscalculation?

Are you such a lord?

Chen Gong has resentment in his heart, but I didn't dare to have an attack, so I had to take a deep breath and swallow the bitter water.

"What Marquis Wen taught him was that it was the palace's dereliction of duty and that he failed to warn Marquis Wen early."

"This Deng Mu is truly deceitful and cunning, and truly hateful!"

Chen Gong had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the pot so that Lu Bu could step down.

Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly satisfied with Chen Gong's knowledge.

So he waved his hand and pretended to be magnanimous:

"That's all, I won't hold you accountable this time."

"Nowadays, the big-eared thieves are extremely rampant. An army of 70,000 is advancing towards Shouchun."

"Do you have any good strategies to help me defend Shouchun and repel the big-eared thieves?"

Lü Bu's shit basin was placed on Chen Gong's head, but in this current predicament, he still had to hold his nose and ask Chen Gong for a solution to the situation.

This was what Chen Gong was waiting for.

So he handed over his hand without thinking:

"Our army now only has more than 10,000 men. The entire Wolf Cavalry army has been wiped out, and the second general of Song Xianhou Cheng has died."

"With such a defeat, it is extremely dangerous to defend Shouchun City."

"The palace thought that Marquis Wen should immediately abandon the city and go north to join Yuan Benchu ​​before the big-ear bandit army arrived. Lu

Bu frowned, and a look of disappointment suddenly appeared in his eyes.

I thought Chen Gong would have some clever plan, but unexpectedly, he was asked to abandon the city and flee north to join Yuan Shao.

Lu Bu's anger rose and he was about to explode. (See the violence. For cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Chen Gong, what a bad idea you came up with!"

"My father, the commander-in-chief, is a prince in Huainan, and he is on an equal footing with Yuan Cao."

"Now you are asking my father to abandon Huainan, become Yuan Shao's eagle dog, and surrender to Yuan Shao?"

"Where is the dignity of my handsome father?"

A girl in red jumped up first and scolded Chen Gong.

The girl in red was none other than Lu Bu's only daughter, Lu Lingqi.

"Miss, you misunderstood, Gong means..."

Chen Gong was sweating on his forehead and hurriedly wanted to defend himself.

However, Lu Lingqi's almond-shaped eyes were burning and she asked sternly:

"Back then, my father's commander defected to Yuan Shao and helped him defeat the Black Mountain Army. However, Yuan Shao was afraid of my father's commander and had murderous intentions."

"Now that the father has gone to join Yuan Shao, do you think Yuan Shao will let the father die well?"

"My father's life or death is uncertain, but you can openly switch to Yuan Shao's army and continue to serve the Yuan family!"

"Let me ask you, what kind of peace of mind do you have?"

"Are you a minister of my Lu family or a minister of my Yuan family?"

Lu Lingqi also has a burning nature, and she exposed Chen Gong's wishful thinking directly.[]

Chen Gong was shocked and quickly offered his hand to Lu Bu:

"The palace is loyal to Marquis Wen and has no second thoughts."

"This plan is just a matter of fact. The eldest lady really misunderstood me."

"Please also ask Wen Hou to take a clear view."

When Hao Meng and Ji Ling saw this, they quickly stood up and defended Chen Gong.

Lu Bu barely suppressed the anger just ignited by his daughter.

"That's all, I still believe in your loyalty, Gongtai. Lu

Bu waved his hands slightly, but said in a deep voice:

"It's just that your plan is really a fool's errand!"

"Just as Lingqi said, how can I, the princes of my own country, stay under someone else's roof and watch Yuan Shao survive?"

Chen Gongwei promised and did not dare to say anything anymore.

Lu Lingqi's anger subsided slightly, and she said with emotion:

"It was so easy for my father to get the Huainan property, how could he just give it away again?"

"My daughter is willing to fight side by side with her handsome father. We will defend Shouchun to the end!"

Lu Bu's blood was also aroused, and he said boldly:

"Okay, okay, we, father and daughter, are united to defend Shouchun!"

Seeing the impassioned father and daughter, Chen Gong and Hao Meng Ji Ling looked at each other secretly, with worries in their eyes.

"Marquis Wen wants to defend Shouchun, and eventually he will wait for nature and fight to the death"

"It's just that I only have more than 10,000 troops left in the city, but Liu Bei has an army of 70,000!"

"Moreover, Huainan has been plagued by Yuan Highway for many years, and the remaining grain and grass in Shouchun City can only last for about three months at most."

"What should we do if the big-eared bandits still refuse to retreat when the food and grass are exhausted?"

Ji Ling stood up and poured a ladle of cold water on Lu Bu.

Lu Bu's figure trembled, and most of his determination and generosity were extinguished in an instant.

After weighing for a while, Lu Bu looked helpless.

"Staying alone in Shouchun is indeed not a foolproof strategy"

"Only by asking for foreign aid can we repel the big-eared thieves and help us rescue ourselves."

"Yuan Tan's army was blocked in Xuzhou, but he was unable to save us."

"The only solution now is to ask Cao Cao for help and ask him to send troops to help me relieve the siege."

910 Ji Ling was stunned.

He poured cold water on Lu Bu. He originally wanted Lu Bu to recognize the reality and return to Yuan Shao.

However, he did not expect that he actually induced Lu Bu to ask Cao Cao for help.

This was not a shot at himself. Feet?

"Commander-in-Chief, why do we have to beg for help and humble ourselves to Cao Cao?"

"We just have to hold on to Shouchun on our own. If the day comes when we run out of food, the worst we can do is rush out of the city and fight Liu Bei to the death! Lu

Lingqi was impassioned and objected to asking Cao Cao for help.

Lu Bu, however, flattened his lips and said disapprovingly:

"My father and Cao Cao are allies. It is only natural for him to come to save my father. How can I say it in a low tone?"

"But my father is handsome——"

Lu Bu waved his hand and said decisively:

"I have made up my mind. What does your daughter know about military affairs? Don’t say any more."

"If someone comes, send someone to Guandu immediately to ask Cao Cao for help!"

Seeing her father's determination, Lu Lingqi snorted and had to shut her mouth gloomily.

So, before Liu Jun's army arrived, a messenger left the city that night and headed straight for Guandu.

…

Guandu, Cao Jun's fortress.

Cao Cao was looking solemnly as he looked at the mountains of earth rising up outside his camp.

"Yuan Shao, you are relying on the strength of your troops to blatantly build a mountain of earth in front of my camp and suppress me with your archers and crossbowmen.……"

Cao Cao murmured to himself, his face filled with annoyance but helplessness. no way.

Who gave Yuan Shao an army of 150,000, nearly twice his strength?

With the absolute advantage of troops, Yuan Shao is qualified to deal with you in a friendly manner.

"How is the war situation in Huainan? I heard that the big-eared thief has conquered Chengde!"

Cao Cao turned his attention to the south for the time being.

After all, whether Lu Bu can defend Huainan depends on whether he will be attacked from both sides. Yuan Shao has already put a lot of pressure on him. If Liu Bei stabs him in the back again, he really doesn't know how to deal with it. Got it

"Although Chengde City was defeated, Lu Bu's main force was not injured and there were still more than 30,000 men available."

"As long as Lu Bu doesn't make any mistakes and decisively chooses to stick to Shouchun, Jia thinks he can last for at least half a year."

Guo Jia's words made Cao Cao breathe a sigh of relief.

"Half a year should be enough for me to defeat Yuan Shao..."

Cao Cao stroked his short beard, his eyebrows filled with some optimism and confidence.

At this moment,

Dian Wei hurriedly climbed up the barrier and presented a silk book

"Report to Sikong, Lu Bu's messenger has just arrived, and a handwritten letter from Lu Bu has been delivered."

Lu Bu's handwriting?

Cao Cao had a vague premonition, so he hurriedly took the letter and opened it in a hurry.

He took a look at it.

Cao Cao's figure suddenly changed color.
