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

Old Liu was a little confused.

The generals also looked confused and confused.

According to the original strategy, didn't Liu Bei personally lead the main force, defeat Cao Cao's intruders, and then march westward to capture Xudu?

Why has the strategy suddenly changed and Guan Yu has to attack Xudu?

"Strategy is dead, people are alive"

"Our previous strategy was indeed for the king to lead the main force to capture Xudu, but now that the situation has changed, it will naturally be slightly changed."

Deng Mu put down his wine glass and came to the map.

"In the Battle of Suiyang, although our army repelled Cao Cao, we were able to annihilate only more than 40,000 Wei troops and did not damage its foundation."

"Moreover, all of Cao Cao's more than 20,000 cavalry troops retreated."

"This also means that Cao Cao's main force retreating to Xudu still has at least 100,000 infantry and cavalry."

"If Cao Cao's troops retreated to Xudu after shrinking Xiahou Dun's army on the southern front, the number would reach 140,000 to 50,000."

"Our army joined forces with General Guan's"477" Jingzhou Corps. Although they numbered more than 200,000, they had an advantage in terms of strength, but it was not an overwhelming advantage."

"At that time, Cao Cao relied on Xu Du, and he only stood firm without fighting. He followed the tactics of retreating in the battle of Guandu."

"We only have 200,000 troops. Can we really capture Xudu, which is defended by 150,000 people?"

Deng Mu's analysis made the generals calm down.

"Moreover, during the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao faced the dilemma of lack of food and had to choose to take risks and fight quickly."

"Now that Cao Cao has Hebei as his rear area, he can continuously supply food and grass from Hebei, so he no longer faces the dilemma of lack of food."

"In this way, Cao Cao is no longer eager to fight. He can choose to hold on and then send light cavalry to attack our army's food route."

"Under such conditions, it would be difficult to capture Xudu."

Liu Bei also stood up, came to the map and stared at it in thought.

After a long time,

Liu Bei realized something and said without nodding:

"What the Prime Minister said makes sense. Although our army won this battle, Cao Cao still has strength."

"It's really wrong to be so confident right now, thinking that you can take over Xudu easily."

Changing the conversation, Liu Que said:

"So what did Prime Minister Shicai mean when he said that Yun Changlai would capture Xudu?"

Deng Mu raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the plain.

"If you want to capture Xudu, you have to transfer Cao Cao out of Xudu to ensure that Xudu city does not have enough troops."

"And now Cao Ren is leading the Wei army in Hebei to attack Taishi Ziyi in our plains."

"I thought that the king could lead the main force to the north, and made a strategic move to cross the river and then enter Hebei, cooperating with Taishi Ziyi to attack Cao Ren."

"Cao Cao is afraid that Hebei will be lost, so he will definitely mobilize the main force of Xudu to return to the army and go to the east line to stop the king."

"As a result, the main force of the Wei army was transferred away from Xudu"

"The king can then order General Guan to command the Jingzhou Army and take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on Xudu."

"Jie Shichen can also stay and advise General Guan"

"Under this situation, if I use some strategies, I believe it will be easy to capture Xudu."

Deng Mu told Old Liu Shi all about his new strategy.

Liu Bei's eyes suddenly became clear, and he nodded repeatedly:

"I understand, Ziyu, your plan can still be said to be a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"Only this time, I personally acted as bait to lure Cao Cao out."

"And Yun Chang's partial division was used as the main attacking army to capture Xudu?"

"Ziyu, is what this king said correct?"

Deng Mu smiled, raised his hands and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty is sage, and this is exactly what I mean."

Liu Bei turned away the clouds and saw the moon, and the blueprint in his mind became clear again. He immediately used Deng Mu's plan to rest the army in Suiyang for five days, and then sent his troops north to pretend to attack the plains.

At the same time, Deng Mu secretly went south to the Ye County area to fight with Liu Bei. Guan Yu meets up

…

Xudu, royal palace.

A touching drama of father and son reunion is taking place now

"Father, Father!"

"The son thought that he would not be able to see his father alive again.~~"

Cao Pi fell at Cao Cao's feet, sobbing, with tears streaming down his face.

Cao Cao caressed Cao Pi, with mixed feelings in his heart and was extremely happy.

It seems that the dark clouds that hung over Suiyang's heart after Suiyang's defeat have been diluted a lot by the return of his son.

"Pi'er was imprisoned by Da'erqu, how did he come back?"

After Cao Cao was moved, his emotions gradually calmed down and he discovered something suspicious.

Cao Pi was slightly shaken, and his expression couldn't help but become hesitant and embarrassed.

How to explain to Cao Cao?

He said that he was begging for mercy from Liu Bei humbly, and used Wei Jun's secrets. You, Cao Cao, suffered a disastrous defeat and gained your freedom? How could it be that Cao Cao didn't get angry and kill you on the spot!

Cao Pi is not stupid, so naturally he doesn't dare to tell the truth. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But With Cao Cao's resourcefulness, lying about some far-fetched reason for killing the guards and escaping would definitely not be able to fool him, and would instead make Cao Cao suspicious.

Thinking of this, Cao Pi could only say with shame:

"It's the big-eared thief who wants to use his son's mouth to send a message to his father, threatening him to sacrifice his country and surrender....."

"Therefore, the son can come back alive to see his father."

Cao Pi had no choice but to tell half the truth.

But as soon as he said this, the fatherly love on Cao Cao's face disappeared in an instant

"Big-eared thief, you are really extremely arrogant!"

"Didn't you just win a battle and lose tens of thousands of my king's horses, so you dare to be arrogant and force me to surrender to you?"

"Hateful, hateful——"

Cao Cao was furious and overturned the case to the ground.

Cao Pi was trembling and didn't dare to speak out loud.

"As the son of my king, you are willing to be brought by the big-eared thief to humiliate my king in order to survive?"

"Cao Pi, Cao Pi, you are not worthy to be my son!"

After Cao Cao scolded Liu Bei, his anger turned to Cao Pi who was standing in front of him.

Cao Pi was sweating on his forehead and didn't know how to deal with his father's rage.[]

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Prince Huan was trapped in the enemy camp for two years, but he did not surrender to the big-eared thieves. His will to die rather than surrender is truly commendable."

"I think that now that he has agreed to speak to the big-eared thief, he also wants to endure the humiliation and bear the burden and come back so that he can do his part for the king to destroy Yan."

"I think it is our great fortune that the king has a son!"

At the critical moment, Sima Yi stood up and complained for Cao Pi. There was nothing he could do.

Previously, he offended Cao Zhi in order to shift the blame, which was tantamount to offending Madam Bian.

Now he is saying good things for Cao Pi as a way to express his gratitude to Madam Bian. A kind of compensation.

After all, although Mrs. Bian is not the queen, she is also Cao Cao's pillow, and she is Cao Cao's favored woman.

If she really angers Mrs. Bian, she may whisper in Cao Cao's ears at any time and say something right. If it goes against you, Sima Yi.

This is naturally something Sima Yi doesn't want to see.

Sure enough, after hearing Sima Yi's words, Cao Cao's anger immediately dissipated a lot, and he felt that Cao Pi had not insulted his reputation. He pondered for a moment. Afterwards, Cao Cao waved his hands:

"Zhongda is right. You have been captured for two years, but you have not surrendered the big-eared thief. You are considered to have some backbone. Get up."

Cao Pi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed in thanks.

When he stood up, he quietly looked at Sima Yi, a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, the guards hurried in and knelt down on the ground.

"Report to the king, Suiyang will make an urgent report"

"Liu Bei mobilized all his troops the day before yesterday and headed north. He didn't know what he wanted to do!"

Cao Cao's face changed, and there was a look of confusion between his eyebrows.
