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

Cao Cao hesitated.

Guo Jia's reminder reminded him of all kinds of unbearable memories.

At the same time, he also thought of Deng Mu’s methods.

Six thousand soldiers and horses in the hands of others and in the hands of Deng Mu are completely different concepts.

Even with ten times the troops and horses, can they really defeat Xuchang easily and quickly?

Cao Cao was a little unconfident.

"Deng Mu is indeed extremely resourceful. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is seeking the reincarnation of a saint."

"But this is our only chance to hold on to Henan"

"If we don't give it a try, your Majesty will take us back to the north of the Yellow River!"

"From now on, in the war between the great Wei Dynasty and the puppet Yan State, we can only be in a passive defensive position."

"Please think twice whether you want to take a gamble."

Cheng Yu remonstrated again with an excited expression.

He was obviously inclined to put his strategy into practice."Nine-forty" he wanted to take a gamble and use this strategy to once again prove his status in Cao's camp..

He will use this skill to get the position of Three Dukes!

Cao Cao was shocked, and the hesitation in his heart was instantly shattered by Cheng Yu's impassioned words.

"Zhongde is right!"

"Yanzhou is the place where this king started, so we must not lose it!"

"This time, I will take the gamble!"

"I bet that Deng Mu will definitely lose this time!"

Cao Cao's eyes were filled with determination.

Then he shouted:

"Immediately send an order to Xu Huang to hold fast to Sishui Pass. If he dares to let Guan Yu pass through the pass one by one, I will kill him!"

"Send an order to Cao Ren again, hold the big-eared thief firmly for me. If anyone dares to take even half a step back, military law will be enacted!"

A series of deployments were completed.

Cao Cao jumped up and waved his big hand southward:

"Send the order, the whole army goes south, I want to take back Xuchang, I swear to kill Deng Mu!"

That day,

Cao Cao led 60,000 soldiers and horses, marched south from Chenliu, and marched at night to kill Xudu.

…

Xuchang.

The scouts flew south to deliver the news that Cao Cao's army had returned. now.

Deng Mu was hosting a banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion to celebrate the recovery of Xuchang with Zhao Yun, Deng Ai and others.

The news of Guan Yu's capture of Luoyang has also been sent back to Xudu, which shocked the morale and morale of the people.

"Don't be too happy, Cao Cao is back."

Deng Mu smiled and showed the information in his hand to Zhao Yun and others.

After reading the information, the generals were all surprised

"Xuchang fell, Luoyang fell, and Xiahou died"

"After being defeated to such an extent, Cao Cao not only did not retreat to Hebei, but he actually dared to lead his army to recapture Xuchang?"

"Cao Cao is very brave."

Deng Ai was astonished and was naturally quite surprised by Cao Cao's actions.

Zhao Yun frowned and said:

"Our army only has six thousand soldiers and horses, and they are all cavalry. They are good at attacking but not good at defending."

"Cao Cao's thieves came with an army of 60,000, ten times our army. The pressure on us cannot be relieved."

Then he raised his hand to Deng Mu and said:

"Prime Minister, do you want to send an urgent report to the king and General Guan, asking them to quickly use troops on the northern front of Cao's army to force Cao's thieves to give up their attack on Xuchang?"

Although Zhao Yun is brave, he is not brave enough to be unscrupulous and treat Cao Cao as a trivial matter.

Obviously, he is quite afraid of Cao Cao and these 60,000 troops.

Deng Ai and other generals nodded in agreement.

"Have you ever thought that with Cao Cao's wisdom, he might not attack blindly?"

"I think he had already made arrangements before going south, and he was confident that he could hold off both the lord and General Guan."

"Now, we can't rely on others but ourselves."

The generals were stunned, as if they had realized something.

Deng Ai gritted his teeth and said resolutely:

"Brother is right, now we can only rely on ourselves"

"Then we will defend Xuchang without fighting and let's see what Cao Cao is capable of doing to break Xuchang!"

Deng Mu took a sip of wine, shook his head and said:

"As you just said, our army only has more than 6,000 cavalry, and they are all cavalry. They are good at attacking but not good at defending."

"In this case, how can you just defend yourself and put yourself in a passive situation?"

"We must make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, defeat Cao's thieves outside the city, and let him retreat in the face of difficulties."(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

As soon as these words came out, both Deng Ai and Zhao Yun took a breath of cold air.

Six thousand to sixty thousand!

A ten-fold difference in strength, so big Appetite.

However, if other people uttered such wild words, they would probably disagree.

But the wild words came from Deng Mu. After being surprised, the two of them immediately had a look of surprise on their faces. 0.........

"Brother, do you have a clever plan that can help us defeat the 60,000-strong army of Cao Cao's thieves with a small number of enemies?"

Deng Ai asked with surprise on his face.

But Deng Mu looked calm and asked:

"Zilong, Shizai, do you remember the battle at Zishui against Yuan Shang when we captured Qingzhou?"

This unreasonable question stopped the second general.

After Deng Ai was stunned for a moment, he said:

"Of course I remember that when Yuan Shang built a dam on the upper reaches of the Zi River, and wanted to lure our troops to cross the river, he suddenly dug up the dam"

"As a result, brother, you saw through Yuan Shang's plan, so you used a trick to seize the sand dam, and flooded Yuan Shang instead."

Deng Mu nodded slightly and sneered:[]

"This time, we will plagiarize Yuan Shang and use the same strategy to deal with Cao Cao!"

Deng Ai was stunned and didn't turn around for a moment.

But Zhao Yun was suddenly shocked, with surprise on his face.

"Could it be that the Prime Minister also wanted to control a certain river north of Xuchang, and secretly built a sand dam in the upper reaches to collect the water flow?"

"When Cao Cao's army was crossing the river, the sand dam was suddenly dug up and the water flooded the Wei army?"

Zhao Yun was the first to understand Deng Mu's profound meaning.

Deng Mu smiled and said nothing, acquiescing to Zhao Yun's guess.

Deng Ai suddenly understood and nodded in praise:

"Big brother’s plan is wonderful, not to mention, Yuan Shang’s plan at that time was indeed unconstrained 5.2"

"Unless it’s you, my eldest brother, no one in the world can see through this plan."

"If this strategy was used to deal with Cao Cao, then Cao Cao would never have dreamed of it!"

"Brother, this plan works!"

Deng Mu smiled and asked for a map.

The next thing is to choose a river north of Xuchang to implement this plan.

First of all, this river cannot be too wide or too deep, otherwise with the current technical conditions, There is no way to build a dam to store water in a short period of time

"The water in the ditch is neither wide nor narrow, neither deep nor shallow!"

"That’s it!"

Deng Mu made a decision.

So Deng Mu made arrangements and left more than a thousand troops to guard Xuchang.

The rest of the cavalry were sent north and headed straight for Fugou Water dozens of miles away.
