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

"Husband, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, I won’t bother you anymore.~~"

Lu Lingqi wisely exited the room and closed the door behind her back.

He was the only two people left in the room, which was lit by red candles.

Deng Mu had been married several times, so he was already familiar with it, so he didn't have much nervousness.

But thinking that the person I married today is the most beautiful woman in Hebei, the"Goddess of Luo" in Cao Zijian's poem, I couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful.-

"I want to see if Luo Shen lives up to his name..."

Deng Mu stepped forward and gently lifted the kerchief on Zhen Mi's head. She had a shy look with low eyebrows and a touch of pink. His face immediately caught his eye.

Deng Mu's heart was shocked, and he was stunned for a moment.

As graceful as a startled dragon, like a swimming dragon, with bright eyes, gentle and graceful...

Those beautiful words in the Luo Shen Fu suddenly emerged like a spring. came into his mind.

Deng Mu had to admit that the face in front of him was so beautiful. It was so beautiful that it was beyond compare, as beautiful as a fairy walking out of a painting, so beautiful that all the beauties in the world were eclipsed in front of her. Even though Deng Mu is a treasure hidden in a golden house, he has many darling wives and concubines, and any one of them is a rare beauty in the world.

But none of those wives and concubines can compare with Zhen Mi

"What are you looking at, husband? Could it be that I am too ugly?~~"

Zhen Mi felt uncomfortable being looked at by Deng Mu and complained shyly.

Deng Mu was shocked, returned to normal, and said with a smile:

"If Madam is ugly, all the women in this world will be named Zhong Wuyan."

Zhen Mi was naturally impressed by her husband's praise of her beauty. She was secretly happy in her heart and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. The nervousness and apprehension in her heart eased a lot.

Then she boldly raised her head and asked Deng Mu Looking at it, a handsome and young face also caught Zhen Mi's eyes.

Zhen Mi trembled and was stunned.

The legendary best counselor in the world was not an old man with white hair and beard, nor was he a A middle-aged man with a big belly.

As his brother Zhen Yao said, he is really a handsome and handsome man!

Zhen Mi's thoughts were surging, and she couldn't help but feel overjoyed in her eyes.

Her husband was not only the second highest figure in the Liu Bei Group, He is still the best counselor in ancient and modern times, and he is also an extraordinary handsome young man!

At this time, Zhen Mi was actually in a trance, as if in a dream, and couldn't believe that she was actually married to such a strange man!

"Madam, what are you looking at?"

"Could it be that my husband has grown three heads and six arms, or is it a green face and fangs?"

Deng Mu also imitated her words just now and asked in a joking manner.

Zhen Mi trembled, her face suddenly felt dizzy, and the shame in her eyes was even stronger. She lowered her head in embarrassment.

This beauty looked so shy. , Deng Mu's heart was pounding again when he saw it.

So he sat on the couch, picked her up and asked:

"Madam, Duke Ju said, you are willing to marry me as your concubine."

"I want to ask my husband, are you really willing?"

Zhen Mi snuggled into Deng Mu's arms, her face still dim, but she raised her eyes and stared at Deng Mu

"What woman in the world doesn’t want to marry such a wonderful man as your husband?"

"Mi'er's ability to serve her husband is a blessing earned through three lifetimes, so she is naturally willing to do so.~~"

Zhen Mi blushed and expressed her feelings in a low voice.

Deng Mu smiled.

The moon is above my eyebrows, the night is getting dark

…

The next day, the main hall of the county government

"Ziyu, you have not been married for a long time, so you should not disturb your young couple."

"It's just that the situation in Jizhou has changed now, and I have to summon you urgently to discuss it."

Deng Mu stepped into the mansion, and Lao Liu came up to him with an apologetic expression.

"As a military advisor, the pastor should naturally focus on the military affairs of the lord, so it is appropriate for the lord to summon the pastor."

Deng Mu smiled faintly and asked:

"I don’t know what has changed in Jizhou. Could it be that Cao Cao dares to make a comeback and attack Jidong again?"

Liu Bei looked at Jushou.

Jushou handed over a piece of silk book and said solemnly:

"I just received the news that Cao Cao opened the dam in Zhangshuiduo!"

"The torrent poured out, covering dozens of miles on both sides of the river. Dongwu, Guangzong and other cities along the coast were all flooded into a swamp!"

Deng Mu's smile suddenly faded. He first took the silk book and read the information carefully, and then came to the map.

After staring for a moment, Deng Mu raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"Cao Cao was afraid that our army would take advantage of the victory to cross the Zhang River and march westward, so he dug open the Zhang River and flooded both sides of the river into a swamp, forming a natural barrier to block our army's westward advance!"

Deng Mu revealed Cao Cao's motives with one word.

Liu Bei's face changed and he said in surprise:

"When he flooded the Zhang River, didn't tens of thousands of Jizhou scholars and people on both sides of the river have their homes and fields destroyed and become refugees?" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"How dare Cao Cao use such vicious methods?"

Deng Mu disagreed and said:

"Cao Cao is cruel and ruthless, and my lord has not experienced it once or twice."

"In order to avenge his father, he vented all his hatred on the people of Xuzhou and massacred Xuzhou until the Surabaya River was blocked."

"Now it has only dug up the Zhang River and flooded tens of thousands of people. I am afraid Cao Cao will not even frown."

Liu Bei suddenly realized, and couldn't help but recall that when he rescued Xuzhou, he witnessed the blood flowing into the river and the corpses scattered everywhere.

"The military advisor was right, he could massacre Xuzhou, let alone drown tens of thousands of people!"

"He can indeed do such cruel methods!"

Liu Bei struck the case with his fist, his face burning with anger.

Deng Mu changed the topic and said:

"However, I predict that Cao Cao will not drown those tens of thousands of people in vain. Most of them will be forcibly moved out and made into farmers."

"In this way, it not only blocks our army from advancing westward, but also gets tens of thousands of slaves to farm. This kind of good thing that kills two birds with one stone is the best choice for Cao Cao."

Deng Mu further speculated.

He knew Cao Cao too well.[]

Whenever a piece of territory is likely to be undefendable, forced relocation is their usual tactic.

Historically, after Hanzhong was captured, hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers and civilians were forcibly moved to Jizhou for fear of capturing Hanzhong for Liu.

As a result, Hanzhong, which was originally as prosperous as a paradise, turned into a no-man's land with ten rooms and nine rooms.

Most of the hundreds of thousands of people with Hanzhong surnames died on the way to migration, and not even one out of ten arrived in Jizhou.

As for those who live in rural areas, it is even worse, and their lives are only slightly better than those of slaves.

It was precisely because Cao Cao oppressed the people too hard that civil unrest continued in the areas ruled by Cao Wei.

When Guan Erye went on an expedition to the north from Jingzhou, counties and counties south of Xudu responded and rebelled against Cao Cao one after another.

It can be seen from this that the people of Cao Wei were resentful of Cao Cao's brutal rule.

"Military advisor, in your opinion, should we continue to use troops against Cao Cao and regain Jizhou in one fell swoop?"

Old Liu was obviously very angry at what Cao Cao did and wanted to continue using Cao Cao's troops.

"Our army marched north from Huainan and fought more than ten battles, all the way from Huainan to Jizhou. Although we won consecutive battles, the physical strength of the soldiers was exhausted to the limit."

"Moreover, in just one year, our army has captured several more states, and it still needs some time to digest and absorb it and win over people's hearts."

"Therefore, it is completely unnecessary for Cao Cao to dig the Zhang River to block our army. Even if he does not do this, we must temporarily suspend our troops and recuperate."

Deng Mu analyzed the pros and cons and expressed his position.

Old Liu's anger was gradually suppressed.

After pondering for a moment,

Old Liu nodded slightly and sighed:

"What the military advisor said makes sense. The soldiers have reached the end of their strength and it is indeed not appropriate to force another battle."

"Then let the soldiers rest first, and after we have settled the newly acquired states and reorganized all the surrendered soldiers, we can then attack Cao's thieves!"

The new strategy was decided.

Deng Mu's eyes turned from Hebei to the direction of Xudu, and he clicked lightly

"The Lord will seize several states and destroy Yuan Shao, which will surely shock the world."

"The emperor of Xudu and the Han officials who were defeated by Dong Cheng must have been greatly shocked, seeing the hope of revitalizing the Han Dynasty."

"Mu speculated that in these few days, secret envoys from Xudu would come to win over the lord."

Liu Bei and everyone looked shocked, and everyone's eyes turned to where Xu Du was.

Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was in that city at the moment.

Under the control of Cao Cao, he was like a puppet.

"Ziyu means that the emperor will send an envoy to see me?"

Lao Liu's eyes flickered and he looked at Deng Mu.

He finished his words.

Chen Dao hurried in, cupped his hands and said:

"I would like to report to my lord that there is a man who claims to be from Xudu and is a confidant of his uncle Dong Cheng. He wants to meet your lord secretly!".
