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

Yanzhou.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, Boping City.

More than 100,000 Wei troops are stationed in this fortress on the south bank of the Yellow River one after another.

Before that.

Cao Ren's troops on the north bank have been ordered to give up the attack on Pingyuan City and retreat westward along the Yellow River.

At this time, the Wei army in Jizhou had withdrawn to the opposite bank of Boping City, and the two Wei armies formed a response across the river from the north to the south.

According to intelligence, the 150,000-strong army led by Liu Bei had already entered Luping City in Jibei County and would soon approach the Yellow River.

"Hurrying and hurrying, I finally got to the front of the big-eared thief."

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the information in his hand.

This means that he reached the south bank of the Yellow River before Liu Bei, and Yu Boping was able to build a defensive front first.

This also blocked Liu Bei's northward crossing of the Yellow River and cooperated with the plains. Taishi Ci's troops made a strategic attempt to flank Cao Ren's northern army.

""657""After our army and Liu Bei enter into another confrontation, your Majesty can use the old method and send out our superior cavalry again to rob the Big Ear Thief's Food Road."

"This time, as long as we hold on to the food camp and hold on without fighting, the big-eared bandits will definitely run out of food and retreat in less than two months!"

"At that time, the king could quickly lead the main force to Xuchang southward, and cooperate with the former general's 50,000 troops to attack Guan Yu's troops from both inside and outside in one fell swoop."

"In this way, we can make up for the losses in the Suiyang battle and restore the military balance between the two countries."

Sima Yi said arrogantly, and made another big picture for Cao Cao.

The clouds on Cao Cao's face gradually dissipated, and a calm demeanor rekindled between his brows.

"What Zhongda said makes sense"

"I don't know how the big-eared thief learned the secrets of our army's defense and used cavalry to bypass our eyes and ears and get to our grain camp."

"This time, the sentry defense must be flawless, and the food camp must also have heavy troops."

"I will never make the same mistake as Suiyang again and let the big-eared thief repeat his old tricks!"

Cao Cao patted the case and ordered.

The ministers were busy taking orders.

"The king's precautions against Liu Bei are naturally foolproof."

"But I have to worry about Xuchang."

Guo Jia was not as optimistic as Sima Yi, and couldn't help but remind him.

After Cao Ren withdrew his troops from the north bank, Guo Jia crossed the Yellow River, came to meet Cao Cao, and once again served in front of the tent.

"Fengxiao, what do you want to say?"

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia.

After Guo Jia thought for a while, he cupped his hands and said:

"I always feel that Xuchang is not stable, so we should add more troops to the former general and send more good generals to assist."

Cao Cao looked disapproving and asked:

"Yuan Rang had 50,000 troops and horses, and Cheng Yu made suggestions."

"You know very well how strong Xuchang City is"

"Could it be that Fengxiao thought that Guan Yu could defeat Xuchang with just 60,000 troops?"

Cao Cao's words clearly showed some displeasure at Guo Jia's contempt for Xiahou Dun.

Guo Jia was speechless.

Sima Yi followed with a smile and said with relief:

"Fengxiao, that Guan Yu is the leader of the generals of Yan State, he is indeed very strong"

"But don’t forget, General Yuan Rang is the top military general in the Wei Dynasty."

"It shouldn't be a problem if General Yi Yuanrang's generals simply stick to Xuchang!"

Guo Jia had to admit that what Cao Cao and Sima Yi said made sense.

If Xiahou Dun and Guan Yu were to fight in the wild, they would probably not be Guan Yu's opponents.

But now if Xiahou Dun is only allowed to defend the city, it should be more than enough.

"Could it be that my worries are really unnecessary?"

Guo Jia asked himself.

At this time,

Cao Cao waved his hand and said:

"Fengxiao's concerns are not unreasonable. Guan Yu should not be underestimated."

"Send a messenger to Xuchang quickly to remind Yuan Rang that he must hold on to Xuchang and never take the initiative to go out of the city to fight Guan Yu!"

The words just fell.

Xu Chu's expression hurriedly entered the account.

"Your Majesty, the former general reported!"

"A few days ago, Guan Yu led his army to withdraw from Xuchang, and the former general found out that he had captured Yingyin City!"

"Cheng Weiwei deduced that Guan Yu was trying to abandon the attack on Xuchang and instead attack our city of Luoyang, and then go east out of Sishui Pass to attack the king from east to west with Liu Bei."

"The former general has mobilized all his troops and marched south, hoping to seize Kunyang and cut off Guan Yu's retreat."

"He asked the king to quickly send troops to strengthen the defense of Luoyang!"

This report immediately aroused an uproar.

Whether it was Sima Yi or Guo Jia, their expressions changed.

"Guan Yu actually went to attack Luoyang?"

Cao Cao was startled. He grabbed Xiahou Dun's urgent report and read it carefully. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) It was clearly written in black and white.

Guan Yu's actions exceeded all of their expectations. In addition, he really went to attack Luoyang!

"Although Luoyang is dilapidated, its strategic significance is far better than that of Xuchang!"

"The Emperor is no longer in Xuchang, so even if Guan Yu captures Xuchang, it will not make much sense0......."

"But if we capture Luoyang, we can cut off the connection between Guanzhong and Guandong to the west. We can go out to Sishui Pass to capture the line between Chenggao and Xingyang to the east, and then move eastward along the Yellow River to form an east-west pincer attack with Liu Bei on the main force of our army!"

"Once we succeed, our hundreds of thousands of troops will be blocked south of the Yellow River!"

Guo Jia reacted the fastest and immediately understood Guan Yu's strategic intentions.

Cao Cao suddenly realized this and immediately took a breath and broke into a cold sweat.

"In my opinion, when Liu Bei led his army north to the Yellow River, it was probably a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, just to divert the king and the main force of our army away from Xuchang."

"As a result, Xu Luo's frontline troops were weak, and Guan Yu turned around and attacked Luoyang!"

"This must be Deng Mu’s plan!"

Guo Jia further deduced Deng Mu's plan.

Cao Cao shivered all over, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he glared at Sima Yi anxiously.

"Zhongda, why didn't you see that this was Deng Mu's trick!"

"I listened to your words and led the main force to the north, almost missing a big event!"[]

In his desperation, Cao Cao forgot his favor to Sima Yi and began to question him bluntly.

Sima Yi was sweating on his forehead and his eyes were flying, thinking about how to deal with it.

Sudden.

The panic on Sima Yi's face disappeared and he actually laughed.

Cao Cao was stunned.

Everyone present was also stunned.

You, Sima Yi, miscalculated and almost made a big mistake. 1.3 You are not afraid of blaming yourself, but you can still laugh?

"Zhongda, why are you laughing?"

Cao Cao's face darkened and he asked displeasedly.

Sima Yi stopped laughing, cupped his hands and said:

"Reporting back to the king, in fact, I have already seen that this is Deng Mu's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

"I even predicted that Guan Yu would definitely give up attacking Xuchang and attack Luoyang instead."

"The reason why I didn't expose it was because I expected that the former general would use Cheng Zhongde's plan to lead his army to attack Kunyang and cut off Guan Yu's retreat."

"Only in this way can we completely annihilate Guan Yu's troops and completely reverse the unfavorable situation of our army's passive defense with a great victory!"

In a few words, Sima Yi turned a funeral into a happy event, and turned his miscalculation into a plan.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and the look of complaint on his face was suddenly replaced by surprise.
