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

"Lu Bu was defeated miserably?"

Cao Cao blurted out.

Guo Jia and other advisers and generals were all shocked, and their eyes were focused on the letter in Cao Cao's hand.

It was Lu Bu's letter asking for help.

In the letter, he led his army to fight, and fell into Deng Mu's trick. A brief description of how the 30,000-strong army suffered heavy casualties.

The main point is that Liu Bei's 70,000-strong army entered Shouchun, and he only had more than 10,000 soldiers left in his hands. The city of Shouchun was in danger.

Cao Cao was asked to send troops to Shouchun immediately with his lips and teeth in mind. , help him solve the siege of Shouchun by combining the inside and the outside

"Is Liu Bei the same Liu Bei he was back then?"

"Deng Mu’s scheming and scheming are unparalleled by anyone in the world!"

"Even I have suffered a big loss from these two ministers. How can Lu Bu have the confidence to take the initiative to fight against Liu Bei?"

"idiot! Overestimating fool!"

After the shock, Cao Cao cursed with anger on his face.

He also threw the letter of help in his hand on the ground.

Guo Jia hurriedly picked it up and took a closer look. His face couldn't help but change again, and his brows suddenly condensed.

"Lu Bu is really stupid and arrogant. He didn't stick to Shouchun properly and dared to go out of the city to challenge Liu Bei!"

"Did he think that Liu Bei was still the same Liu Bei as before, and could he still be at his mercy?"

Guo Jia was also very angry and couldn't help scolding Lu Bu.

There was a discussion on both sides.

Cheng Yu looked solemn and said:

"If Shouchun is lost, Huainan will be captured by Liu Bei"

"At that time, Liu Bei took full control of the two states of Jing and Yang, which fully bordered us."

"If he takes advantage of my main force to confront Yuan Shao in Guandu, and takes advantage of the situation to send his troops north to stab us in the back, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Sikong, no matter whether Lu Bu is stupid or not, we have to save Shouchun!"

Cao Cao's brows were deeply furrowed and he remained silent.

How could he not understand the meaning of lips dying and teeth cold?

But now the main force is confronting Yuan Shao in Guandu. Cao Ren commanded 20,000 troops and horses to resist Yuan Tan's 50,000 army in Xuzhou.

The rest of the troops were mostly guarding the four directions. The key point is that there are no more troops and horses to save Shouchun.

He wanted to save Lu Bu, but it was a pity that he was powerless!

"Shouchun must not be lost, Lu Bu must save him"

"However, to save Lu Bu, you don't have to defeat Liu Bei. You just need to prevent him from besieging the city and ensure that the Shouchun grain road is open."

"The Lord can mobilize 10,000 soldiers and horses from the Guandu Army, go south along the Ying River to the Huai River, and approach Shouchun City from the west."

"In this way, Liu Bei was afraid of being attacked from both sides, so he had no choice but to withdraw from the siege to the west of the city, thus opening up the food route to Shouchun."

"As long as Shouchun has constant supplies, Lu Bu's strength is expected to be able to withstand Liu Bei's siege."

"Then I have 10,000 soldiers and horses. I don't need to take action. I only need to strengthen Lu Bu's momentum and ensure that his food channels are continuous."

Guo Jia offered a plan to save Shouchun.

Cao Cao was silent, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

"We have an army of 70,000 in Guandu. If we deploy 10,000 and still have 60,000, we should be able to barely sustain it..."

After a moment,

Cao Cao nodded slightly and sighed:

"This idiot Lu Bu broke into something, I have to clean up the mess for him."

"Let's follow the filial piety plan and mobilize 10,000 soldiers and horses from Guandu to help Lu Bu build up his momentum."

Although he was extremely reluctant, for the sake of the overall situation, Cao Cao could only hold his nose and save Lu Bu.

At this time,

Cheng Yu thought of something and said:

"Sikong, Yu thinks Fengxiao's plan to save Shouchun is feasible."

"It's just that Lu Bu, a thief, has repeatedly been untrustworthy. He had clearly promised to marry his daughter to Master Pi before, and the two families formed an alliance for marriage, but he kept pushing back because of Yuan Shao's solicitation.."

"Yu thought that Sikong could take this opportunity to force Lu Bu to send his daughter to get married, and then send his wife to Xudu as hostages."

"In this way, we can ensure that Lu Bu will not betray the alliance and turn to Yuan Shao at the critical moment."

Cao Cao was convinced, nodded and said:

"What Zhongde reminded me was, how could I not guard against Lu Bu, an unfamiliar wolf? I really had to take advantage of this opportunity to put a chain on him."

Cao Cao immediately wrote a letter in reply to Lu Bu, claiming that he was willing to send troops to rescue him. However, the letter did what Cheng Yu said, asking Lu Bu to send his wife and daughter out of Shouchun first.

At the same time, to show his sincerity, he would send his second son Cao Pi to personally rescue him. He led three thousand soldiers and horses to Xia Cai to welcome the bride.

The envoy had no choice but to take Cao Cao's handwritten letter and fly back to Shouchun on Pegasus.

At the same time, a Pegasus rode back to Xudu and sent an order to Cao Pi, ordering him to join the Yu Jintong Army. Qian, went to Huainan to marry Lu Bu's daughter

…

Xudu, Sikong Mansion.

In a secret room, a young nobleman was complaining to a noblewoman.

"My father married my eldest brother to the daughter of the Xun family in Yingchuan, but the one he married to me was the daughter of a slave with three surnames from Lu Bu!"

"My father is too partial."

Cao Pi drank sullenly, and did not hide his dissatisfaction with the marriage in his words.

What kind of family is the Xun family?

It was the first wealthy family in the world!

Xun Yu was Cao Cao's Xiao He, and his status was the first among ministers with foreign surnames.

Cao Cao gave Cao Ang married the daughter of the Xun family, which shows Cao Cao's love and respect for Cao Ang, the eldest son. As for

Lu Bu, he was just a warrior from a humble family in the frontier, and he had the bad reputation of being a slave with three surnames.

In terms of identity, status, and reputation, they all He was thrown out of the eight streets by the Xun clan of Yingchuan.

Cao Cao wanted his second son to marry the daughter of such a person!

In Cao Pi's view, this was simply a shame.

Although he was just a bastard, he was not like this. Like being treated differently by Cao Cao

"Pi'er, don't complain anymore."

"Cheer up for me immediately, follow Yu Jin to Huainan, and bring back Lu Bu's daughter to me safely and safely."

"This is your only chance to defeat Cao Ang!"

The noble lady had a deep look on her face and said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

Cao Pi froze and asked curiously:"Why did mother say this?"

Looking at her confused son, Mrs. Bian shook her head and sighed secretly, seeming to be quite disappointed with her son's ignorance.

"Ding is your father's first wife, and Cao Ang was raised by her, so she is your father's eldest son."

"This point cannot be shaken no matter who he marries."

"Even if your father marries you a wife who is more noble than Xun, do you think you can compete with Cao Ang?"

Cao Pi was speechless when asked.

"Therefore, if you want to win over Cao Ang, you have to find another way!"

"Although Lu Bu's background and reputation are not good, he has one advantage that no one can match."

"That is why he is the best general in the world, a prince with a heavy army and dominating Huainan."

"And he has no children, only one daughter"

"If you marry his daughter, Lu Bu will become your most powerful foreign aid, which means you have a heavy army in your hands."

"In the future, with the help of this external force, you will have a chance to win unexpectedly and win over Cao Ang!"

Mrs. Bian's tone was deep, and she revealed the mystery.

Cao Pi seemed to be awakened, and he suddenly came to his senses.

Discussing identity, military strategy, Cao Cao's degree of favor, age... (Read Baoshuang novels, Just go to Feilu Novel Network!)

In every aspect, he is suppressed by his big brother.

If you fight with normal means, it is impossible to win in any case. If you can't win with normal means, then you can only use Extraordinary means.

And Lu Bu, who had a heavy army and dominated Huainan, was the extraordinary means he could use.

After thinking about it, Cao Pi's face suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny, and he looked happy.

"Thanks to my mother for your teachings, my son suddenly became enlightened!"

"I know what to do!"

"I will rush to Huainan right away and will definitely marry Lu Bu's daughter!"

Cao Pi jumped up, bowed deeply to Mrs. Bian, and said goodbye happily.

"Liu Bei, speaking of which, I have to thank you."

"If you hadn't driven Lu Bu into a hurry, how could he have obediently sent his daughter out of Shouchun and let me, Pi'er, marry him?"

"If Pi'er has a chance to win the Cao family's reserve position in the future, I will definitely remember your contribution..."

Mrs. Bian murmured to herself, with a playful sneer on her lips.

…

Shouchuncheng[]

Seventy thousand Liu troops took five days to complete the siege of Shouchun City.

Shouchun is the largest city in Yangzhou, and its city size is about 30% larger than Jianye.

Therefore, in these five days, Liu Jun only completed the attack on the stronghold from all sides.

Next, we still need to build walls and dig trenches to completely surround Shouchun into an isolated city.

Main camp, inside the Chinese army tent.

Liu Bei and everyone gathered in front of the Shouchun sand table to discuss strategies to break the city.

"Ziyu, according to Gan Xingba's report, there seemed to be people and horses passing through the gaps in the western camp last night and entering Shouchun City."

"What do you think about this?"

Liu Bei looked at Deng Mu.

Deng Mu said without thinking:

"｀.It was just that Lu Bu went to ask Cao Cao for help, and his envoy brought back Cao Cao's reply."

Ask Cao Cao for help!

Liu Bei's expression immediately became alert.

"Lu Bu prides himself on being a prince, and will never be willing to live under someone else's roof, so I don't expect him to abandon Shouchun and run away."

"So based on his current situation, if he wants to break the siege of Shouchun, he can only ask Yuan Cao for help."

"Yuan Tan's army was blocked in Tancheng. The water from far away could not quench the thirst of the people nearby. Even if he tried to save him, he was powerless."

"Therefore, for Lu Bu, the only option was to ask Cao Cao for help."

Hearing Deng Mu's analysis, Liu Bei couldn't help but nod.

Deng Mu came to the map and raised his hand and pointed:

"Although Cao Cao's troops were stretched thin, he was worried about his death and would never sit back and watch Lu Bu's destruction."

"Therefore, I speculate that he will probably mobilize more than 10,000 troops from the main army in Guandu to come to Shouchun to strengthen Lu Bu's momentum."

"However, with Cao Cao's power and strategy, he would naturally not be wary of Lu Bu's capriciousness. He would probably force Lu Bu to show enough sincerity before he would send troops to help."

Deng Mu deduced Cao Cao's thoughts in an understatement.

"What Ziyu said is absolutely true"

"Lu Bu has repeatedly been dishonest and has no faith at all. With Cao Cao's methods and tricks, how could he not be wary of him?"

Lao Liu was deeply touched by this, but he was also curious:

"But I don’t know, Ziyu, do you think Cao Cao will force Lu Bu to show his sincerity before helping him out?"

After Deng Mu pondered for a while, a sneer flashed in his eyes.

"In order to ensure the loyalty of his ministers, Cao Cao implemented a strict hostage system"

"Regardless of whether they are generals in various places, governors, governors or other feudal officials, they must send their children to Xudu as hostages."

"If I were to guess, Cao Cao would definitely order Lu Bu to escort (Qian Li Zhao) his daughter to break out of the encirclement and send her to Xudu to marry his son Cao Pi as a hostage!"

Lü Bu's daughter?

Marrying Cao Pi?

Liu Bei's eyes turned and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.

"Lu Bu had no children and only one daughter, Lu Lingqi."

"I heard before that Cao Cao proposed marriage to his son Cao Pi, and wanted to marry Lu Lingqi as his wife and marry Lu Bu."

"Later, Yuan Shao sent envoys to win over Lu Bu, who began to waver and refused to send his daughter to Xudu several times."

"Ziyu's military advisor probably meant that Cao Cao would use Lu Bu's request to force Lu Bu to sacrifice his daughter to complete the marriage. Pang

Tong further explained what Deng Mu meant.

Liu Bei suddenly understood and couldn't help but sighed:

"When Lu Bu was in Yanzhou, he almost drove him to a dead end."

"Now not only can he form an alliance with Lu Bu, but he can also let his son marry Lu Bu's daughter and form a marriage relationship with her!"

"This Cao Mengde's magnanimity is truly extraordinary."

As an enemy, Lao Liu also admired Cao Cao.

Deng Mu secretly laughed.

Boss Cao was a man who could even let go of the hatred of killing his son in order to win over Zhang Xiu. He married Lu Bu and let his son marry Lu Bu. Girl, this is all trivial

"Within these few days, Lu Bu will definitely send his daughter to the west to break out of the siege."

"I predict that Cao Cao will definitely send a group of troops to the west of Shouchun and go up to Cai to support them."

"Let's make a plan and set up an ambush to intercept Lu Bu's daughter, while at the same time we deal with Cao's army who came to welcome her."

"Cao Cao wants to marry Lu Bu, so we are going to mess with their good deeds!".
