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

Yuan Xi looked shocked and shouted anxiously:

"Get the map quickly!"

The guards on the left and right hurriedly laid out a map on the desk.

Yuan Xi lay on the map and looked carefully.

Luoshui comes from east to west and merges into the Yellow River through Gaotang.

Luoyin City is located in the upper reaches of Luoshui. It is nearly sixty miles east of Gaotang.

Qingzhou was once the territory of the Yuan family. Yuan Xi naturally knew this terrain well.

"In the Battle of Guandu, my father’s army was defeated without a fight because the grain camp was burned by Cao’s thieves."

"If we can burn all the food and fodder of the big-eared thief, we can indeed defeat his 90,000-strong army in one fell swoop."

"But, George, how can you conclude that all Liu Bei's food and grass are gathered in Luoyin?"

Yuan Xi raised his head and looked at Xinpi with suspicious eyes.

Xinpi sneered at the corner of his mouth, stroking his thin beard and said:

"When Bi was on his mission to Gaotang, he happened to see Liu Bei's grain team entering the city. He secretly heard the soldiers talking, saying that all the grain and grass came from Luoyin."

"When I was kicked out of the hall by Liu Bei, Zhu Huan happened to go in and report to Liu Bei, saying that Luo Yin had gathered a million grains of grain and grass, and he was going to lead 5,000 troops to pick up the grain defense camp."

"This is enough to prove that Luoyin is like a black nest, and it is the place where Liu Bei transfers grain!"

"Second Young Master, this is God’s will. God is helping you and the Yuan family!"

Xinpi proudly told the secret that he had inadvertently discovered.

Yuan Xi suddenly understood, his eyes suddenly became excited, and he stared at Luoyin City.

"If it is true as you said, if we can sneak attack Luo Yin successfully, it will indeed be a winning strategy."

"But our army is only eight thousand, and Liu Bei's sentries will be densely guarded on the south bank. How can we bypass Liu Bei's main force and successfully attack Luoyin?"

Yuan Xi was worried again.

Xinpi came to the map and pointed with a sly smile.

"Luoyin is different from Wuchao"

"Wuchao is located behind Guandu, so the Cao thieves must ask Xu You to take refuge and reveal the secrets of our military sentry to him, so that they can successfully bypass our defense line and successfully attack Wuchao."

"The Luo River runs east-west, almost running parallel to the Yellow River in Qingzhou."

"Therefore, Gaotang City and Luoyin City are almost on a line from west to east."

"This means that Luoyin City is not behind Liu Jun's main force, but in line with Liu Bei's main force."

"In this way, our army does not need to bypass the enemy's defense line at all. We only need to order General Yan to lead his light cavalry to sneak across the Yellow River from the lower reaches to the south, and then move west along the Luoshui River. Then we can directly launch a surprise attack on Luoyin City from the east."

"This battle will definitely catch Zhu Huan off guard, capture the enemy's grain camp in one fell swoop, and burn his millions of grain and grass!"

Xinpi gestured on the map, becoming more and more excited as he talked.

The worries in Yuan Xi's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by joy and excitement that was ready to move.

"That's it, that's it"

"George, I didn’t expect you to be so clever."

"If I had known this, if my father had asked you to assist your eldest brother in commanding the Qingxu Army, how could your eldest brother have been defeated by Liu Bei?"

Yuan Xi was in awe and praised Xin Pi.

Xin Pi's lips were slightly proud, but he took advantage of the situation and complimented:

"The eldest son is stubborn and will not listen to Pi's advice even if he has Pi's help."

"How could the Second Young Master be so obedient to advice? The Second Young Master is the most like the Lord, the most heroic, and the most qualified to be the heir apparent of the Yuan family."

This flattery made Yuan Xi praised to the sky.

Even though Yuan Xi knew how much he weighed, he couldn't help but feel a little elated at this time.

Yuan Xi smiled, nodded and said:"In that case, Yan Zizheng , you just take the lead——"

"I object! Yan

Liang, who was silent, suddenly interrupted Yuan Xi's order.

Yuan Xi was stunned, raised his head and looked at Yan Liang blankly.

Yan Liang cupped his hands and said seriously:

"The lord has an order, and he orders the two young masters to strictly guard the plain and prevent Liu Bei from crossing the river."

"The second master wants to send cavalry across the river to fight. Isn't it against the lord's order? The general will think it's inappropriate."

Yuan Xi was blocked back and was speechless for a moment.

Xinpi's face darkened and he said displeasedly:

"The so-called general is outside and the emperor has not given his orders. It is understandable that the second master seizes the opportunity to take the initiative to attack."

"Besides, with our current strength, how can we possibly defend the plain?"

"Breaking the cauldron and winning by surprise is our only hope to hold the Yellow River defense line and repel the big-eared thieves!"

Yan Liang remained unmoved, but there was a hint of disapproval on his face.

"I don't care what you said, I only know that this is the Lord's order"

"Furthermore, I heard that the eldest son and the third son all fell into Deng Mu’s scheme because they took the initiative."

"In the end, not only the entire army was annihilated, but he himself was defeated and captured, and the two states of Qingxu also fell into the hands of Liu Bei."

"Having learned from this experience, where did you, Xin Zuozhi, get the confidence to think you could defeat Deng Mu?"

"Second Young Master, why do you have the confidence to think that your general and military skills are superior to those of the First Young Master and the Third Young Master, and you will be able to defeat Liu Bei?"

Yan Liang didn't give them any face at all, so he asked straightforwardly.

Xin Pi looked embarrassed and was speechless.

Yuan Xi frowned and his face became obviously unhappy.

He used to be... He believed that his literary skills and military skills were inferior to those of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

But now his status has changed and he has become the prince of the Yuan family.

The drastic change in status has caused a change in his mentality.

He himself said that he is not as good as the two. There's nothing wrong with you, brother.

These words were spoken by Yan Liang, but they sounded extremely harsh, making him feel uncomfortable for a while.

"Yan Liang, you are right. In terms of talent, I am not as good as my eldest brother and third brother."

"so what?"

"Now I am the heir apparent of the Yuan family"

"I have made up my mind, I am going to send you to lead the Qingqi to attack Luoyin and burn millions of grains of the big-eared thieves! Yuan

Xi, who was so stimulated, simply took out his identity as the prince of the Yuan family and wanted to overpower Yan Liang.

Yan Liang's head was shaken, and the objections on his lips were blocked.

When Xin Pi saw this, he took advantage of the situation and asked:

"Yan Zizheng, you are a famous general in Hebei, and you were indeed a disciple of the Third Young Master."

"But don’t forget, the third young master is dead"

"The second young master is currently the only prince of the Yuan family, and the only lord that you and I will be loyal to in the future." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Do you really want to disobey the Second Young Master?"

Yan Liang was stunned.

Xin Pi said it directly. If he dared to question his opponent again, he would really fall out with Yuan Xi. If

Yuan Xi succeeds to the throne in the future, how will he get along?

In desperation,

Yan Liang can only sigh secretly. He raised his hands and asked seriously:

"That Liu Bei was a talented man and he had a great strategy, and that Deng Mu was even more cunning."

"My three thousand cavalry are my lord's only remaining weapons. Have you thought clearly? Do you really want to send me to attack Luo Yin?"

Yuan Xi said sternly without hesitation:

"I, Yuan Xi, have given orders and there is no reason to take them back!"

"This battle is related to the survival of the Yuan family. Only victory is allowed and no defeat is allowed."

"Yan Ziliang, I hope you will put the overall interests of the Yuan family first and fight with all your strength.........."

Seeing that there was no room for change, Yan Liang had no choice but to silently accept the order and retire.

After convincing Yan Liang, Yuan Xi felt happier than ever before, and the corner of his mouth could not help but curl up with a touch of pride.

"The big-eared thief thought that the second young master was afraid of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's mistakes and did not dare to send troops to take the initiative, so he would only defend the north bank defense line."[]

"The second young master did the opposite, and he was bound to be caught off guard, burning his millions of grain and grass in one fell swoop!"

"This plan can serve as a wedding gift for the second young master! Xin

Pi smiled and offered his hand to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi laughed and said happily:

"George, if you win this battle, you will be my number one contributor to the revival of the Yuan family!"

"I will recommend it to my father, and you will be the leader of my Yuan family! Xin

Pi secretly rejoiced and expressed his gratitude and loyalty.

Yuan Xi waved his hands and said with a smile:

"George, just start preparing for my wedding."

"When Yan Liang returns home in triumph, it will be the day I get married."

"I will use this great victory as a betrothal gift for marrying that Zhen Mi!"

…

On the south bank of the Yellow River, Gaotang.

In the mansion.

A huge map of Hebei has been hung high on the wall.

Liu Beizheng and Deng Mu were looking up at the map and reviewing the situation in Hebei.

"After Gao Gan heard about the fall of Yecheng, he surrendered to Ma Teng Kaicheng"

"It is reported that Cao Cao, in the name of the emperor, appointed Ma Teng as the governor of Bingzhou and ordered him to guard Bingzhou on the spot. He also named his son Ma Chao as Jinwu, and Jia Xu as the Shaofu, and took office in Beijing."

"At the same time, Zhong Yao was ordered to lead the Sili school captain to replace Ma Teng in guarding Guanzhong. He also ordered Xia Houshang to be the governor of Liangzhou and go out to guard Xiliang."

"After Cao Cao went through this series of tricks, Bingzhou was basically in his pocket, and he also consolidated his control over Guanzhong and Liangzhou."

"Zhang Yan, who was plundering the states in northern Hebei, and Xian Yufu, who was causing trouble in Youzhou, also sent their nephews as hostages to Xudu, showing their sincerity in surrendering to Cao Cao."

"In the name of the emperor, Cao Cao granted titles to Zhang Yan and Xian Yufu respectively, and sent troops north to take over the counties in northern Hebei and Youzhou."

"Youzhou has been nominally owned by Cao Cao, and the counties in northern Hebei are gradually under Cao Cao's control."

"At present, the only areas under Yuan Shao's actual control are Bohai, Hejian, 3.4 and several plain counties in eastern Hebei."

Chen Deng pointed to the map and explained the latest battle situation in Hebei one by one.

After hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh:

"Cao Cao really had an unparalleled advantage in holding the Emperor hostage."

"If it weren't for the decree issued in the name of the emperor's court, how could people like Ma Teng, Zhang Yan and Xian Yufu easily surrender."

Deng Mu disagreed and said:

"Back then, Cao Cao had the foresight to take the lead in welcoming the Emperor and got the card of holding the Emperor hostage to order the princes."

"Now that Zhang Yan, Ma Teng and others have joined him, this is the reward that Cao Cao deserves. There is nothing to envy."

"However, Cao Cao gained a lot in the north and lost a lot in the south.The results of the battle may not be as rich as the master's."

After Deng Mu said this, he motioned to Chen Deng.

Chen Deng took out the second battle report and read it loudly:

"General Guan, General Zhang, and General Huang came to report"

"Our army marched in three directions, and the progress was extremely smooth. There were consecutive battles and victories along the way."

"Starting from Runan in the west, reaching Liang State in the middle, and ending at Taishan County in the east, more than ten counties and counties have been captured by our army."

"Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and other generals are retreating steadily, and the battle line has been forced to shrink to the line from Yingchuan, Jiyin to Dongping."

"Most of Yuzhou and the counties in the southeast of Yanzhou have been captured by the Lord!".
