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

Xu You?

A thunderous name rang in everyone's ears.

This is not simple. It is said that when the world was still in chaos, they had conspired to kidnap Emperor Ling and establish a new king.

This Xu You is not only courageous, but also extremely resourceful.

From Yuan Shao's revolt against Dong to his capture of Jizhou and then to his pacification of Hebei, this man's contribution was indispensable.

"Xu You is an important minister of Yuan Shao, and he knows the secrets of Yuan Jun's sentry and defense. This is good."

"But this person was Yuan Shao's confidant. Why did he seek refuge with Cao Cao and betray Yuan Shao on the eve of Cao Cao's overthrow for no reason?"

Liu Bei's eyes were suspicious, expressing his confusion.

Everyone nodded, and they all felt that Xu You's betrayal of Yuan Toucao was really outrageous.

"Although the decisive battle between Yuan and Cao was about to decide the winner, the battle between the Ruying faction supporting Yuan Tan and the Hebei faction supporting Yuan Shang also reached a fever pitch."

"Although Ju Shou Tian Feng belongs to the Hebei faction, he has a righteous temperament and may not ignore the overall situation of Yuan Shao's attack on Cao at this time."

"Shen Pei, who stays behind in Yecheng, will definitely find ways to cause trouble."

"Therefore, I have made detailed arrangements before and closely monitored every move of the trial and allocation process."

"A few days ago, news came back from Xizuo that Xu You's family members in Yecheng were imprisoned for corruption and perversion of the law."

"This move of the judge is clearly intended to put Xu You to death in order to eliminate the backbone of the Ruying faction."

"Xu You was afraid that Yuan Shao would punish him, so he would definitely seek refuge with Cao Cao if he was forced to do so."

"With Xu You's resourcefulness, he would naturally propose a sneak attack on Wuchao to Cao Cao, and also reveal confidential information such as Yuan Jun's checkpoint sentry to Cao Cao."

"With Yuan Jun's top-secret defense and Cao Cao's ability to use troops, is he still afraid that he will not be able to break through Wuchao and burn Yuan Shao's millions of dendrobium grain and grass?"

Deng Mu stopped laying the groundwork and laid out his calculations.

Of course, most of the credit for such a judgment must be attributed to his foresight.

In history, it was indeed because of Xu You's surrender that Cao Cao succeeded in burning Wuchao and destroying Wuchao. Winning the Battle of Guandu.

The only thing Deng Mu is not sure about is that the historical trajectory of Lao Liu has changed dramatically. Whether the Battle of Guandu will continue to follow the original trajectory of history.

So Deng Mu will decide the Battle of Guandu The key to victory or defeat lies with Xu You.

In fact, in the historical Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao had an overwhelming advantage.

Cao Cao's victory was an accidental event of probability.

Without Xu You's surrender, Cao Cao would have There is absolutely no chance of a successful sneak attack on Wuchao, and the final outcome will be defeat.

Yuan Shao will at least be able to unify the entire north nearly eight years earlier than Cao Cao in history.

A Yuan dynasty founded by Yuan Shao will most likely be born..

The key to prompting Xu You to defect to Cao Cao is that Shenpei played a dirty trick on Xu You behind his back.

Then it is simple.

As long as he arranges carefully and keeps a close eye on Shenpei, Deng Mu can naturally easily judge Guandu. Will the direction of the battle be consistent with history?

Of course, it is impossible for Deng Mu to express these secrets to Lao Liu and other generals.

This led to the fact that when he made this judgment, everyone present, including Liu Bei , , Pang Tong, Taishi Ci and other generals.

Everyone's eyes widened, their mouths opened wide, and they were in an unprecedented shock.

Just guess that Xu You betrayed Yuan Tou Cao!

Even the trial matchmaker met with Xu Can you figure out who is the mastermind?

He also made detailed plans in advance to closely monitor every move of the trial and matchmaking! How can this be a magical plan?

This is like getting the script, knowing everyone's role in this big drama in the world. Clearly!

"Military advisor, Xu You, is judging the match. They take it seriously, take it seriously..."

Old Liu stuttered, so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

Taishi Ci took a breath and said in shock:

"Military advisor, we naturally have no doubts about your plans."

"It's just that you, the military advisor, were able to predict the details of Yuan Shao's defeat in the battle of Guandu. It's true, it's true.——"

Taishi Ci was so emotional that he couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while.

Seeing everyone's shocked and stunned expressions, Deng Mu realized that his spoilers seemed to be a little too much.

"Ahem~~"

"In fact, I just calculated it casually, and it may not be accurate."

"Maybe Cao Cao has collapsed first in Guandu at this moment."

Deng Mu smiled self-deprecatingly and quietly drew everyone's attention away.

When the topic changed, his expression became serious and he said seriously:

"No matter who wins, Yuan Shao, or Cao Cao, our strategy cannot change."

"If Yuan Shao wins, we must beat Yuan Tan even more severely, and we cannot let Yuan Shao annex Cao Cao and take over the Henan provinces."

"If Cao Cao wins, we will continue to go north and divide Yuan Shao's six states with Cao Cao"

"No matter what, we must win the two states of Qingxu!"

Liu Bei was deeply convinced.

So he sent detailed troops to Guandu to find out the news about Yuan Cao's decisive battle.

At the same time, he transferred troops from Shouchun to Liangcao and made preparations for a long siege of the city.

…

Guandu, Yuan Jun’s camp

"waste! inability!"

"It’s a disgrace to me, it’s a disgrace to my Yuan family!"

"Yuan Tan, you really impress me!"

"So disappointed!"

In the Chinese army's tent, Yuan Shao threw the urgent report in his hand on the table and cursed angrily.

The urgent report was Yuan Tan's letter asking for help.

In the letter, Yuan Tan had to bite the bullet and send The Prime Minister suffered a disastrous defeat and reported the loss of troops to Yuan Shao, requesting Yuan Shao to send troops to reinforce Xiapi as soon as possible.

First, he lost Huaiyin, causing Yuan Yin, his younger brother, to die in the hands of Liu Bei.

Now he also defeated Lu Bu and Gao Lan, and Jiao touched all the generals, killing and wounding them. Tens of thousands of people.

Even the five thousand Youyan cavalry assigned to him were almost wiped out!

Such a tragic defeat was completely beyond Yuan Shao's imagination.

This can be said to be the worst defeat he has suffered since he raised an army to attack Dong. The battle was the one with the heaviest casualties!

Guandu could not open up the situation for a long time, and Xu You defected to Cao Cao. Yuan Shao was already angry.

Now Yuan Tan's disastrous defeat seemed to add fuel to the fire, making Yuan Shao intolerable. , finally broke out. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"The eldest son was defeated so miserably. It really damaged the lord's face and hurt the morale of our army."

"Ji thought that the eldest son might not be qualified to be the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front, so the lord might as well order the third son to replace the eldest son."

"With the talents and strategies of the Third Young Master, we will surely be able to repel the big-eared thieves and wash away the shame of two defeats for our Eastern Route Army."

Feng Ji took advantage of the situation to add insult to injury and wanted Yuan Shang to succeed Yuan Tan.

Once Yuan Tan is transferred from the front line, he will lose the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, clear up his humiliation, and prove himself again.

This also means that Yuan Tan will completely compete with Yuan Tan. There is no chance for the family reserve position.

Yuan Shao strokes his slender beard and seems to have been persuaded

"The Third Young Master is guarding Yecheng. He has a heavy responsibility. How can he take it lightly?"

"The reason why the eldest son failed twice was mostly due to his contempt for Liu Bei."

"Now that he has learned a lesson twice, the eldest son will definitely not make the same mistake again."

"Bi thought that my lord might as well send tens of thousands of troops to the eldest son. The eldest son would be able to turn defeat into victory, drive Liu Bei out of Xuzhou, and then capture Huainan for his lord!"

As the backbone of the Ruying faction, Xinpi could only take the lead after Xu You rebelled against Cao, and hurriedly defended Yuan Tan.

This defense also made the anger on Yuan Shao's face calm down a little.

Feng Ji Seeing this, sarcasm flashed across his face, and he snorted coldly:

"..You said it so easily, as if the eldest son was defeated miserably twice, just because he underestimated the enemy."[]

"In my opinion, the eldest son’s generals and strategies are no match for Liu Bei."

"Even if the lord gives him more troops, I don't think he can even hope to regain the lost territory, let alone seize Huainan."

Xin Pi's face darkened, and he started to argue with Feng Ji.

One of them defended Yuan Tan, the other belittled Yuan Tan, and they were all red-faced.

"enough!"

Yuan Tan was upset after hearing this, and shouted at the two of them.

Feng Ji and Xin Pi could only stare at each other, but did not dare to say anything.

"Gongyu, what do you think?"

Yuan Shao could only look at Jushou.

After thinking for a moment, Jushou cupped his hands and said:

"It is believed that changing generals before battle is a taboo for military strategists, so the Qingxu Army should be properly commanded by the eldest son"

"But judging from the current situation, Liu Bei is no less capable than Cao Cao, and Deng Mu is even more scheming."

"Even if the eldest son is given more troops, he will have no chance of regaining his lost territory and seizing Huainan, and may be defeated again."

"I think your lord can give the eldest son ten or twenty thousand more troops, so that he can hold on to Xiapi and not fight any more."

"After we win the battle of Guandu and destroy Cao Cao, it will not be too late to turn around and deal with Liu Bei."

Jushou, however, discussed the matter and made his remarks based on the overall situation.

These words did not please both sides. Feng Ji and Xin Pi both glared at him dissatisfied.

Yuan Shao (Li Qian's) weighed for a moment, waved his hand and said:

"That's all, just follow what Gong Yu said and give that guy 20,000 more troops."

"Tell him to guard Xiapi for me, and don’t go out to fight easily again and embarrass yourself."

"He is no match for the big-eared thief. Only I can take action personally to deal with the mat weaver and shoe seller!"

Jushou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Shao's face returned to calmness, and he glanced at the ministers with conceited eyes.

"According to the news from my informant in Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao's food and grass are no longer enough to last for ten days."

"Ten days later, Cao Cao's thieves will be cut off from food and grass, and the morale of the soldiers will be in chaos."

"At that time, it will be time for us to attack in an all-out manner, wipe out Guandu in one fell swoop, and kill the Cao thieves."

"Victory is just around the corner, so cheer up and hold on for another ten days!"

This domineering and confident statement couldn't help but inspire all the advisers and generals in Yuan Ying.

In the big tent, people were excited for a moment.

"newspaper~~"

"Urgent report from Wuchao!"

At the critical moment, Zhang Nan looked panicked and broke into the tent.

"Report to the lord, please report urgently!"

"Cao Cao personally led an army to raid our Wuchao. The enemy's offensive was so fierce that General Chunyu could no longer hold on!"

"He asked the lord to send reinforcements quickly for rescue, otherwise Wuchao would not be safe!"

The big tent exploded with a bang.

Yuan Shao was determined to win, and there was an instant of endless horror on his old face.
