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

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were all surprised.

Everyone was guessing what strategy Deng Mu used to defeat Cao Cao's 60,000-strong army so easily.

He actually annihilated 30,000 Wei troops!

Liu Bei then showed the good news to the two of them.

Wolong and Fengxia couldn't wait to take it, and they gathered together to take a closer look, and then they suddenly understood

"It turned out that Master actually used Yuan Shang's strategy to deal with our army in the battle of Zishui and defeated Cao Cao's army!"

"This ability to adapt to changing circumstances is truly unparalleled in the world! Zhuge

Liang sighed with admiration, his face full of conviction.

Pang Tong also sighed with admiration, saying:

"With the wisdom of the Prime Minister, all of us put together are probably no match for us."

"With the help of such a god as the Prime Minister, how can the king conquer the world? How can the Han dynasty fail to prosper?"

Everyone was immersed in the admiration of Deng Mu's wisdom.

11 But Liu Bei put away his emotion, and his face burned fiercely.

"Xuchang fell, Luoyang fell, and Cao's thieves lost countless soldiers and generals."

"He can't hold on to Henan anymore, so let's work harder to drive him out of the south of the Yellow River!"

"After passing the order, the whole army continued to attack Boping violently and send Cao Cao away!"

The order was passed, and the three armies were inspired by it.

The morale of the one hundred thousand Yan army was like a rainbow, and they attacked Boping City wildly.

Just as Liu Bei expected.

When the Wei army on the northern front learned the news of Cao Cao's defeat, their morale was immediately in chaos and their morale was severely depressed.

Cao Ren held on to the three Later, seeing that the situation was not good, he had to abandon Boping and lead his army to retreat westward along the river.

The line of Sishui Pass.

The Wei army under Xu Huang, like Cao Ren's army, was also in chaos.

The 50,000 Guan Yu army that captured Luoyang was The morale of the army was greatly boosted and the morale of the army was as strong as iron. Inspired by the news of the victory at Fugou River, Guan Yu commanded 40,000 troops and launched a mad attack on Sishui Pass. Xu Huang was unable to hold on and was forced to abandon Sishui Pass and retreat eastward.

The east and west sides The Yan army marched along the Yellow River and swept through the Yansi counties.

At the same time,

Liao Hua led 10,000 troops from Kunyang to station in Xuchang and took over the city defense.

Deng Mu led 6,000 cavalry north to attack Cao Cao from the south. The attack was launched.

The three Yan armies formed a double-team on the Wei army from three directions: southwest, east and west.

Under this offensive, the Wei army's defense lines were retreating steadily, and the front lines continued to shrink.

It was late winter.

Cao Cao was traumatized both physically and mentally and was defeated one after another, so he had to give up the Henan area. The entire army crossed the Yellow River from Baima to the north and retreated to Liyang, an important town on the north bank.

At this point, all the land south of the Yellow River was recovered by the Yan army.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Deng Mu met at the White Horse Crossing.

Under the morning light, the three of them immediately stood on the river beach and looked at the north bank of the Yellow River.

More than 100,000 Yan soldiers were arrayed at the ferry, shouting wildly and evacuating to the other side. The Wei army showed off its power.

Liu Bei stroked his beard and looked at the north bank with a smile. It seemed that he could see Cao Cao at this time, with such a lonely and helpless mood, setting foot on the north bank dejectedly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on recovering the Central Plains!"

"The king is away from unifying the world, and re-establishing the Han Dynasty has taken another step!"

Deng Mu smiled and congratulated Old Liu.

Liu Bei was so excited and high-spirited that he couldn't help but laugh.

After the heroism, he was deeply grateful. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

So he looked solemn. , turned around and bowed his hand to Deng Muye:

"If it weren't for Ziyu's clever calculation, how could I have expelled the Cao thieves so easily and regained the Central Plains!"

"It is my duty to thank you, military advisor, for your assistance."

Old Liu's gratitude is naturally not pretending, but comes from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, Deng Mu can see this.

But of course he understands the importance of human relationships. The boss thanks you like this. As a worker, you can really do it. Can't bear it calmly?

"Your Majesty’s words are serious, and I don’t dare to take them seriously."

"It is a great honor to assist the king to recover the mountains and rivers, restore the country, and revive the great Han Dynasty!"

Deng Mu was so flattered that he bowed deeply to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei laughed and helped Deng Mu up.

The two ministers looked at each other and laughed.

"Ziyu, Henan has been recovered, how should we use our troops next?"

Liu Bei came back from the joy of victory and regained his composure.

"Henan is the foundation of Cao Cao, especially Yanzhou, where Cao Cao started his career. His rule must be deeply rooted."

"Although the king has recovered militarily, it will take some time to recover politically."[]

"What's more, the soldiers have been fighting for days and have been exhausted mentally and physically. It's time to take a good rest."

"I believe that the king’s next focus should be on pacifying the hearts of the people in Yansi and Yansi. At the same time, he should also rest and reorganize the soldiers and reorganize the troops."

"After the hearts of the people in the Central Plains have returned, the soldiers have rested and recuperated, and the food and grass have been gathered in sufficient quantities, we will discuss continuing to use troops against Cao Cao, and it will not be too late to destroy the puppet Wei."

Deng Mu presented the strategy.

Liu Bei was convinced and nodded:

"Okay, okay, what Ziyu said is absolutely true"

"If the order is passed, all armies will stop at the Yellow River and take a rest."

The generals took the order.

Deng Mu then asked Liu Bei to move the capital of the Yan Kingdom from Xiapi to Xuchang. The previous capital of Xiapi was just a stopgap measure. What was considered was the strategic location of Xiapi and the northern and southern states. The hub of Xuchang.

But the political status of Xiapi is far inferior to that of Xuchang.

After all, Xuchang also served as the imperial capital.

Moving the capital to Xuchang, in a sense, is a symbol of orthodoxy.

Originally, Deng Mu wanted Lao Liu to , move the capital directly to Luoyang City in one step.

However, considering that Luoyang is dilapidated, and the west is too close to Guanzhong, across the Yellow River in the north is Hanoi controlled by the Wei State.

If the capital is moved to Luoyang, the military threat from the Wei State will be greater.

There is a large buffer zone to the north of Xuchang, which can serve as a barrier to the capital, and there are several water systems flowing nearby, which facilitates the movement of grain and grass supplies. After repeated weighing,

Deng Mu still proposed Yi Lao Liu and moved the capital of Yan. To Xuchang.

Liu Bei also had this intention and immediately adopted Deng Mu's advice.

So Liu Bei led the army to Xuchang. At the same time, the edict was also quickly passed to Xiapi, ordering all civil and military officials to move to Xuchang. In the spring of that year, the Yan State officially moved its capital to Xuchang..
