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

Cao Ren's eyes moved.

Obviously he understood the implication of Guo Jia's words.

To put it bluntly, you, Sima Yi, have figured out Cao Cao's thoughts and can promptly cater to Cao Cao's preferences in everything.

It would be strange if Cao Cao didn't like it.

As for those loyal words that are not in line with Cao Cao's wishes, I'm sorry, but now that I, Cao Cao, am the king of Wei, I can no longer listen to them.

"well~~"

Cao Ren sighed and made no statement.

"I have long disliked that Sima Yi, and he knows how to flatter his father all day long!"

"If my father hadn't listened to his bullshit plan, how could he have lost Henan so easily!"

Cao Zhang was outspoken and expressed his dissatisfaction without any worries.

Cao Ren and Guo Jia looked at each other, and both of them coughed dryly.

"Let’s not talk about those troublesome things."

"Let’s talk about the situation at hand."

"I said Feng Xiao, do you think that big-eared thief will send a partial army to attack our Liyang?"

Cao Ren changed the topic in time.

This is also the issue he is most concerned about.

After all, he has less than 30,000 soldiers and horses.

With this number, he can defend the important town of Liyang and the so-called Yellow River. The line of defense really made him feel a little guilty.

"According to the current intelligence, Liu Bei's main forces have already entered Hongnong, which is less than a hundred miles away from Tongguan."

"The Yan army on the white horse front line only has more than 10,000 troops."

"Guan Yu's garrison in the east of Hebei Province only numbered more than 20,000 people."

"With this kind of troop deployment, there is more than enough defense but not enough offense. From this, we can judge that Liu Bei is indeed going to adopt the strategy of attacking from the west and defending from the east."

"Based on Jia's judgment, Liu Bei should not be able to attack Liyang again at the same time as he has no remaining troops."

Guo Jia analyzed the situation and judged with determination in his eyes.

Cao Ren was relieved.

Cao Zhang, on the other hand, was slightly disappointed and snorted proudly:

"I'm still hoping that the big-eared thief will send troops to attack me in Liyang. I'll just kill him without leaving a single piece of armor behind, which will increase the prestige of my Wei Dynasty!"

Cao Ren and Guo Jia were slightly shocked and looked at each other again.

This boy is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers.

You have never suffered a loss under Liu Bei's hands. How dare you say such arrogant words?

It's just because of Cao Zhang. Because of their identities, the two of them just laughed secretly, and it was hard to say anything to dampen Cao Zhang's enthusiasm.

"It’s best if the big-eared thieves don’t come to attack Liyang"

"We rarely have a few days of leisure, come here, drink..."

Cao Ren chuckled and raised the wine glass again.

At this moment, the soldiers rushed in and fell to the ground.

"Report to the former general, report to the third young master!"

"There is an emergency report from the ferry on the north shore. Thousands of boats have appeared in the upstream direction and are going down the river!"

"The Yan army at Baima Crossing on the other side is also boarding the boat, and seems to be trying to cross the river in a big way!"

A bolt from the blue!

It was like a thunderbolt from the blue that struck the hall.

The wine glasses in the hands of the three people fell on the table at the same time.

Thousands of warships?

That was the navy of the Yan Army.

But the navy of the Yan Army was seven days ago We have already passed the Liyang River Basin, shouldn't we have gone upstream and cooperated with Liu Bei's main infantry force to attack Tongguan?

Why did they turn around and come back?

The three of them looked at each other with a look of surprise and confusion on their faces.

"Let’s take a look at the ferry first."

Guo Jia was the first to calm down and jumped up.

Cao Ren and Cao Zhang also came to their senses. They immediately put on their clothes and left the house, riding their horses out of the city.

After a while, the group rushed to the ferry on the north bank.

Here, Cao Cao had already A crossing barrier was built in advance to serve as the first line of defense to protect Liyang City and prevent the Yan army from crossing the river and landing on the shore.

Inside the crossing barrier, there was already a panic. The Wei soldiers in the camp were talking about it and were all heading to the shore. They gathered to watch.

The three of them rushed all the way to the beach, boarded the watchtower and looked west.

Sure enough, thousands of Yan army warships were coming from the upper reaches.

The 10,000 Yan army guarding the other side were also on board. The warship entered the river and headed towards the north bank.

This formation was clearly intended to launch a massive attack on Li Yang

"what happened?"

"Aren't the main force of the Big Ear Thieves going to attack Tongguan? Why did they suddenly return to Liyang?" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Why was there no warning notice from Hanoi?"

Cao Ren was confused, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

Guo Jia's thoughts were racing, and suddenly his heart was shaken violently, and his face changed in shock.

"We have fallen into Deng Mu’s plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

Cao Ren and Cao Zhang were shocked and turned their heads to look at Guo Jia.

"Liu Bei had no intention of attacking Guanzhong from the beginning."

"He sent hundreds of thousands of troops to the Hongnong front line, just pretending to attack key points, just to lure the king and my main force to Tongguan, leaving Liyang and even Hebei with no military strength!"

"His navy entered the Yellow River not to attack Tongguan, but to transport his main force and use the Yellow River waterway to fight back to Liyang with lightning speed."

"Liu Bei's real purpose is to capture Liyang and seize Hebei!"

"This must be Deng Mu's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

Guo Jia's voice trembled as he revealed the mystery.

Ercao suddenly realized the truth, his face suddenly changed, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

They understood.

Liu Bei's goal from the beginning was Jizhou and even Hebei.[]

Sima Yi's so-called trick to lure the enemy was basically a clown's performance, but it played into Liu Bei's hands.

Liu Bei then simply took advantage of the situation and pretended to attack Tongguan with great fanfare.

In fact, it is to transfer all Cao Cao's main forces to Guanzhong.

Liu Bei had access to the Yellow River and could take advantage of the naval warships to fight back to Liyang with lightning speed.

You, Cao Cao, want to lead the main force back to Hebei, but you have to go over mountains and ridges, which takes several times more time than Liu Bei.

Liu Bei took advantage of this gap and captured Liyang with ten times the force!

This is Liu Bei's overall layout!

"Sima Yi, that idiot!"

"He was still self-righteous and offered some tricks to his father to lure the enemy, but he was tricked by Liu Bei instead!"

"That idiot, he harmed my Wei Dynasty again!"

After realizing this, Cao Zhang was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed.

Cao Ren was also filled with resentment and cursed:

"The king had such trust in this Sima Yi, but now he has been harmed by him again!"

"Your Majesty, you really shouldn’t do this!"

The two of them complained constantly and directed their anger at Sima Yi.

Guo Jia sighed and said helplessly:

"Now that things have come to this, it is useless for us to blame Sima Yi"

"Liu Bei must have come with more than 200,000 troops. There is no way we can hold the crossing barrier."

"The only current plan is to withdraw the entire army to Liyang City immediately and defend it. At the same time, we should report to the Crown Prince and ask him to mobilize the troops from Yecheng City to reinforce the defense, and send flying horses to report the news to the king."

"As long as we can hold on to Liyang until the king leads the main force back from Guanzhong, we still have hope!"

Cao Ren was awakened and immediately ordered to abandon the Dutou barrier.

"The ferry must not be abandoned!"

Cao Zhang objected and said sternly:

"We must hold on to the ferry, drive the big-eared thief down the Yellow River, and never let him land in Shao!".
