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

"My brother was actually captured by Liu Bei!"

Sima Yi's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

He was the eldest son of the Sima family and his most respected eldest brother. He was captured alive by Liu Bei and became a prisoner of Liu Jun?

After Sima Yi was shocked, he suddenly clenched his fists, endless The anger burned in the eyes

"Deng Mu, Deng Mu~~"

"You have disgraced me, made my eldest brother prisoner, and brought shame to our Sima family!"

"I, Sima Yi, will ask you to repay this revenge sooner or later!"

"I swear, I swear~~"

When Sima Yi was secretly angry.

Cao Cao's face also changed from shock to sadness and anger.

During the previous battle at Cai, Yu Jin, a confidant with a foreign surname, was killed by Liu Bei.

Now in this battle, another general with a foreign surname, Li Dian, was defeated!

These two people were both ministers of Yuan Cong who followed him in his early years.

But they all died in Liu Bei's hands and Deng Mu's scheme!

"Liu Bei, Deng Mu!"

"Your master and your ministers have gone too far!"

"This is too much!"

Cao Cao clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his whole body was swallowed up by extreme hatred and anger.

The generals were also aroused and angered, and they all called for war, asking Cao Cao to raise an overwhelming army again and fight Liu Bei to the death.

Cao Cao was so angry that he almost Lost understanding and want to fight Liu Bei again

"My lord, you must never use your troops in anger."

"The Lord first fought the Battle of Guandu and then pacified Hebei. The soldiers had been fighting for years and were extremely exhausted mentally and physically."

"Now we have suffered two major defeats, not only losing troops but also losing generals, and morale has also been seriously damaged."

"Besides, Hebei has just been pacified and people’s hearts have not yet been calmed down."

"Feng thought that it was not appropriate to raise an army to overwhelm the country at this time and force another battle with Liu Bei!"

"Please Sikong think twice!"

Tian Feng is worthy of being a direct minister. Regardless of Cao Cao's anger, he resolutely remonstrated.

Seeing this, Guo Jia hurriedly said:

"Sikong, Yuan Hao’s words make sense."

"It is a fait accompli that Jidong was occupied by Liu Bei, and we have to accept it."

"Jia thought that what Sikong wanted to do right now was to recuperate his soldiers and pacify the newly acquired states."

"After people's hearts have been settled and morale has been restored, Sikong can take Youyou and the soldiers from the six states of Qingji and Siliang, and then compete with Liu Bei for the world, why worry about winning!"

The two great advisers were surprisingly calm, in sharp contrast to the generals' cries of war.

Cao Cao's anger gradually calmed down as if being poured down by two ladles of cold water.

"Even if I want to stop my troops, will the big-eared thief agree?"

"Can you guarantee that the big-eared thieves will not continue to move westward and cross the Zhangshui River to attack the hinterland of Jizhou?"

"The ambition of the big-eared thief is known to everyone in the world!"

Cao Cao asked back with a gloomy face.

Tian Feng and Guo Jia were slightly shaken.

Guo Jia turned his eyes slightly, cupped his hands and said:

"Sikong is the new land of the three states in Hebei, so why not Liu Bei?"

"He had not long conquered the Qingxu Prefectures, and he had just captured the Jidong Prefectures."

"Even though he defeated our army twice, his army has reached the end of its strength. Do you believe that he can raise an overwhelming army again and continue to compete with us for Jizhou and the entire Hebei!"

Cao Cao's eyes moved, as if he was suddenly reminded by Guo Jia

"Everything Fengxiao said makes sense..."

Cao Cao nodded slightly and stroked his short beard.

Liu Bei has been fighting with the Yuan family and his son since he sent his troops north. The soldiers fought from Huainan to Jizhou, almost without stopping in between.

Liu Bei No matter how elite his soldiers are, they are not made of steel. How can they keep fighting endlessly? No matter how clever

Deng Mu is, he can't turn Liu Bei's soldiers into tireless war machines.

"But having said that, the big-eared thieves actually won two games in a row."

"Who can guarantee that he will not ignore the fatigue of his soldiers and take advantage of the victory to cross the Zhang River and march westward?"

"After all, Liu Jun is tired, and our army is also tired."

"When a tired division faces a tired division, the outcome is unpredictable."

Tian Feng raised concerns again.

Cao Cao was slightly shocked, frowned, and looked at Guo Jia

"This..."

Guo Jia has no idea.

There was silence in the palace.

Sima Yi in the corner, his eyes were flying, thinking about a way to break the situation.

Pingyuan's plan was miscalculated, causing Cao Cao's trust to fall seriously.

Now he urgently needs another Propose a clever plan to regain Cao Cao's admiration and respect.

Suddenly, a strange light flashed in Sima Yi's eyes.

"Sikong, Yi has a plan that can stop Liu Bei's plan to invade the hinterland of Jizhou!"

Sima Yi walked out of the corner, his face restored to confidence and calmness.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly:"What good plan does Zhongda have?"

"Sikong, please take a look!"

Sima Yi brought the map and spread it in front of Cao Cao.

"The Zhang River flows from southwest to northeast, dividing Jizhou. To the east of the Zhang River are the Bohai Plain and other counties in eastern Hebei."

"The Zhang River is inferior to the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. It originally could not stop Liu Bei from crossing the river."

"But now it's summer, the rain has fallen heavily, and the water level has risen."

"Why doesn't Sikong dig up the Zhangshui River embankment and flood the entire area of ​​dozens of miles on both sides into a swamp?"

"As a result, wouldn't it form a natural chasm that would prevent Liu Bei from advancing westward?"

Sima Yi gestured on the map and offered his so-called clever plan.

Cao Cao was refreshed and glanced at the map anxiously, his eyes gradually becoming excited.

Tian Feng frowned and said anxiously: (Looking at the violence For cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Sikong, Zhongda’s plan is definitely not feasible!"

"There are fertile fields along the Zhang River, and there are many cities along the way including Beipi, Dongwu, and Chengping."

"If the Zhang River were dug up, wouldn't it mean that all these cities and the fertile fields of the villages along the coast would be submerged, and tens of thousands of people would suffer?"

Although Lord Hanoi is north of the Yellow River, he is affiliated with Sizhou, so Sima Yi is not from Hebei.

Unlike Sima Yi, who is from outside the state, Tian Feng is a native of Hebei. Naturally, he cannot accept Sima Yi's so-called scourge of Hebei." good strategy"

"Sikong is the wise master of the world, how can he harm the people?"

"Before Sikong burst the embankment, he naturally had to move all the people along the river to prevent them from being affected by the flood."

Sima Yi refuted Tian Feng's question disapprovingly.

Tian Feng immediately asked again:

"Relocating people can certainly prevent them from being flooded"

"But how will they survive if they lose their fields?"

Sima Yi was already prepared and said without thinking:

"There are frequent wars in the Central Plains, and there are many unowned and abandoned fields that can be reclaimed."

"Sikong Ke followed the example of farming implemented in Henan and turned all the relocated people into farming and ordered them to reclaim the ownerless wasteland."

"In this way, we can not only feed them, but also enable them to provide food for the imperial court. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"[]

Tian Feng's heart was shaken and he stared at Sima Yi anxiously.

What bullshit the best of both worlds.

Who doesn’t know that under the farming system implemented by Cao Cao, 30% of the harvest was left to the farmers, while nearly 70% was taken away by the government.

Even if the sharing ratio is so harsh, the villagers also have to perform various chores, and when necessary, they have to be organized to fight on the battlefield.

It can be said that the treatment of farmers is only slightly better than that of slaves.

The people along the river are not working as homesteaders, but they are forced to leave their hometowns and become farmers who are almost slaves with just one word?

How cruel and ruthless is your so-called good plan!

Tian Feng was angry, but he couldn't openly refute his objections in front of Cao Cao.

Wouldn't that be a blatant accusation that Cao Cao's farming system is cruel?

Although Tian Feng is upright, he does not

"Zhongda’s plan is brilliant!"

Cao Cao patted the map and praised it, and said happily:

"According to Zhongda's plan, the people from the cities along the Zhang River were immediately moved away and all of them were converted into farming villages."

"Then the Zhangshui River embankment was broken open, and both sides were flooded into Zeguo to prevent the big-eared bandits from advancing westward and invading the hinterland of Jizhou!"

Seeing that Cao Cao had made the decision, Tian Feng knew that he had no chance to persuade again, so he could only sigh silently.

Guo Jia opened his mouth to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he still swallowed them.

The two counselors chose silence.

Again Sima Yi, who was praised by Cao Cao, breathed a sigh of relief and the corners of his mouth quietly raised

…

Xudu, the imperial palace.

On the royal ship.

Liu Xie, the young emperor (Wang Nuozhao), was taking a boat trip to enjoy the scenery of Yuhu Lake

"I didn’t expect that my imperial uncle would be so amazing."

"Not only did he kill Yuan Shao's two sons, but he actually recovered Qingxu in one go."

"The hope of my Liu family is not Liu Biao, Liu Yan, and Liu Yu, but Liu Bei who comes from a poor family! Liu

Xie looked at the secret report in his hand and sighed with emotion.

"It is indeed incredible that Liu Xuande has risen to such an extent in just five or six years."

"However, I heard that this is all thanks to his subordinate, the mastermind named Deng Mu."

"I heard that this person is a scheming man, like a sage coming to earth."

"Liu Bei relied on this man's strategy to wipe out various princes in a few years, and Yuan Shao also lost his land and son by him."

Guozhan Fuwan on the side said this.

"Deng Mu, Deng Mu..."

Liu Xie read this unfamiliar name, his brows filled with surprise.

At this moment, a small boat docked on the imperial boat.

His uncle Dong Cheng boarded the imperial boat excitedly and prostrated himself in front of Liu Xie

"Your Majesty, Liu Bei’s envoy has just arrived in Xudu"

"Liu Bei has conquered Nanpi and beheaded Yuan Shao and his son to welcome him."

"The Yuan family was destroyed!"

Liu Xie's expression suddenly changed. He jumped up in a hurry and snatched the secret report from Dong Cheng's hand.
