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

The sound of killing rang outside the camp!

Could it be that the Yan army is attacking?

Cao Zhi put down the wine glass in his hand and asked:

"What's going on? Where did the shouting of killing come from?"

Man Chong's expression also changed, and he turned around hurriedly to the tent door and lifted up the curtain.

The sound of killing came from the east.

In the dim night sky, countless firelights could be seen faintly covering the sky, heading toward the big sky. The direction of the camp was approaching.

Various signs showed that there was indeed an army attacking towards the grain camp.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers rushed over and knelt down in front of Cao Zhi.

"Sir, a large number of Yan troops are attacking outside the camp, numbering at least 50,000 to 60,000!"

As soon as he said this,

Cao Zhi staggered and almost fell off his seat.

Man Chong's face darkened and he said in a trembling voice:

"No, this must be Liu Bei, personally leading the main force to attack my grain camp!"

"He wants to imitate the king's burning of Wuchao, burning up millions of our grains and grasses in one fire, causing my 150,000-strong army to collapse without a fight!"

Cao Zhi was shocked again, jumped up anxiously, and said excitedly:

"How is this possible? How could so many Yan troops sneak into our Ningling Grain Camp?"

"Why didn't the sentries along the route provide any warning? Why didn't my father send troops to stop the attack?"

Man Chong was speechless.

This was also what confused him.

If it was a small group of Yan Army cavalry, it might be possible to avoid the sentries along the way and get to the grain camp to sneak attack.

But that was a Yan Army of 50,000 to 60,000 people!

So! The huge infantry and cavalry army accounted for almost half of the Yan army. How could they reach the grain camp fifty miles away without anyone noticing?

"Don't panic, Mr. Zijian, let's go see the enemy's strength first!"

Man Chong forcibly calmed down his mind.

Cao Zhi didn't have time to think too much, so he quickly picked up his sword and came out of the tent, riding his horse straight to the camp wall. He rushed all the way to Dongying, climbed to the watchtower, and looked into the distance.

Cao Zhi and Man Chong fell down in unison. Take a breath of cool air.

Under the light of fire and moonlight, outside the camp are the flags of the Yan army that cover the sky and the moon. The dust and mist raised are like a sandstorm.

In addition, there are the sound of war drums, horns, and shouts of killing.

For this formation, the Yan army would have to start at least 50,000 men.

This means that Liu Bei has indeed mobilized all his troops to attack the grain camp!

"how so?"

"How did so many Yan troops avoid our sentry defenses and appear in Ningling like divine soldiers descending from the sky?"

"This doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense~~"

Cao Zhi's voice was trembling, his eyes were filled with confusion and shock, as if he had seen a ghost.

Man Chong's eyes moved and he said anxiously:

"Mr. Zijian, I have told you before that Deng Mu’s plans are unfathomable."

"Although I can't guess why, I'm sure it must be his strategy that made Liu Bei's army avoid our army's eyes and ears and appear here!"

Cao Zhi's body shook, as if he was suddenly awakened.

"Is there really such an unpredictable person in this world?"

"This Deng Mu, what kind of monster is he?"

Cao Zhi was shivering all over, and there was endless horror and confusion in his eyes.

Man Chong took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down his mind, and cupped his hands and said:

"Mr. Zijian, don’t panic, things are not irreversible yet."

"There are still 10,000 elite men in my camp. If commanded properly, we can still hold on for a while."

"The young master should immediately send a messenger to the front line to ask for help from the king, and ask the king to quickly mobilize the army to save my food camp!"

Cao Zhi trembled and suddenly woke up.

"After the order was sent, the entire army rushed to the camp wall immediately and defended the camp wall for me at all costs!"

"Send people to the camp quickly and ask for help from your father!"

"Be quick, be quick——"

Cao Zhi's panicked roar echoed over the grain camp.

…

The main camp of the Wei army, Wang Zhang

"Wen Chou came to report that the day before yesterday, hundreds of Yan army grain trucks and 80,000 dendrobium of grain and grass were burned!"

"General Xiahou had just sent back the good news. He robbed the enemy's food team twice in three days and burned 90,000 hu of food."

"General Ma is here to report..."

Cao Zhen read out to Cao Cao one by one the victory reports sent back by the cavalry generals.

Cao Cao stroked his short beard and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

"Zhongda, your strategy of exploiting your strengths and avoiding weaknesses is enough for a big-eared thief."

"I want to see how rich his family can be and how much food he can keep burning."

Cao Cao raised a sarcastic sneer on his lips.

Sima Yi smiled coldly and said sarcastically:

"In the past twenty days, we have burned nearly 200,000 dendrobium of grain and grass for the Yan army."

"I expect that at the latest early next month, the Yan army will start to run out of food and grass supplies."

"If everything goes well, within three months at most, Liu Bei will run out of food and retreat!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly with satisfaction, but said to Cao Zhen:

"Zidan, from now on you must learn from Zhongda and improve your intelligence."

"You and Zhongda are similar in age, but your intelligence and scheming are very different."

Cao Zhen curled his lips secretly, but nodded in reply:

"I respectfully follow your Majesty’s teachings and will consult Zhongda at that time."

The corners of Sima Yi's mouth rose quietly, but he did not dare to be arrogant in front of Cao Cao. He was busy mocking himself with humility.

Cao Cao was in a happy mood, so he asked for wine and meat, and wanted to have a few drinks with Sima Yi and discuss the overall situation of the world.

This man The king of the Wei Dynasty's favor for Sima Yi is obvious to everyone. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Cao Zhen frowned slightly.

Tian Feng on the side saw it, and there was a slight flash between his eyebrows. Dissatisfied.

Bring the meat and wine.

Cao Cao poured a glass of wine himself and handed it to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi was so flattered that he hurriedly leaned forward to receive the wine glass.

The moment he received the wine glass

, Xu Chu strode into the king's tent.

"King Qi, Mr. Zijian just sent someone to deliver an urgent report!"

"Liu Bei personally commanded an army of more than 50,000 people and launched a surprise attack on our Ningling Grain Camp!"

"Mr. Zijian may not be able to hold on for long. Please send troops to rescue me as soon as possible to save our food camp!"

Bang!

The wine glass fell on the table."...

Cao Cao and Sima Yi were startled, and turned around almost at the same time, looking at Xu Chu with disbelief.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

Cao Cao thought that he heard wrongly, so he jumped up and shouted to Xu Chu[]

Xu Chu had to repeat it again.

Cao Cao was stunned.

Sima Yi was also shocked, as if he had heard a fantasy.

"not good!"

"This is Liu Bei who wants to imitate the king's battle of Guandu!"

"He wants to burn all our food and grass and cause our 150,000-strong army to collapse without a fight, Your Majesty!"

Tian Feng, who was also shocked, was the first to react and shouted in a hoarse voice.

Cao Cao shuddered and suddenly realized it.

Sima Yi, with doubts on his face, shouted excitedly:

"The king was able to successfully attack Wuchao because Xu You surrendered and presented Yuan Jun's defense secrets!"

"The big-eared thieves do not have the secrets of our army and have more than 50,000 troops. How can they spare our army's sentries and defenses and suddenly appear behind my camp?"

"This is unreasonable, this is unreasonable!"

Sima Yi didn't believe it.

When Cao Cao was reminded by him, he also said with surprise on his face:

"Zhongda is right. I don't have any important ministers under my command who have defected to the big-eared thief. How could he know the secret of my defense?"

Everyone was shocked.

Only Cao Zhen was pale, with cold sweat rolling down his forehead.

At this moment, he finally understood Liu Bei's purpose of exchanging Cao Pi for Wei's defense secrets.

It turned out that it was to circumvent them. He had to go through many obstacles and unexpectedly set fire to the Ningling Grain Camp!

If Liu Bei succeeded, wouldn't he become a sinner of Cao Wei?

How could he be worthy of Cao Cao's kindness in raising him?

"Father, no matter what, it is a fact that Liu Bei attacked our grain camp!"

"The most important thing now is how to deal with 2.9"

"If the grain camp is lost, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Cao Zhen didn't care much, so he shouted in a hurry to remind.

Cao Cao shuddered, and horror immediately appeared on his face.

Back then, he used this move to defeat Yuan Shao's 150,000-strong army and win the Battle of Guandu.

In that battle, the arrogant Yuan Shao was completely beaten from prosperity to decline, and then to destruction.

If Liu Bei also burned his food and grass, wouldn't he follow in Yuan Shao's footsteps?

Just when Cao Cao panicked.

Sima Yi panicked In his eyes, a light suddenly flashed

"King, this is our chance"

"The big-eared bandit personally led the army to attack our grain camp. If the king personally led the army to Ningling, he would be able to surround and annihilate the big-eared bandit outside the grain camp in one fell swoop."

"So what if the food and grass are burned?"

"As long as the big-eared thieves can be surrounded and annihilated, the Yan Kingdom will surely fall apart!"

"The king will accomplish his feats in one battle and unify the world in one fell swoop!"

Sima Yi shouted excitedly at Cao Cao, offering this plan.

Cao Cao's originally panic face suddenly filled with endless ecstasy!
