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

Tongguan.

The sound of cannons was also loud.

Before Guancheng, more than a hundred Xiangyang artillery pieces were bombarding Tongguan.

Outside Guancheng.

Fifty thousand Yan troops lined up solemnly, admiring the grand scene of Tongguan being bombarded.

Wei Yan stood up with his sword raised, and looked at the standing Guancheng with a cold gaze, looking at the flags with the word"Wei" in them.

He knew that Wei King Cao Cao was outside Guancheng, sitting in charge of the overall situation.

Behind him, there is also a king flag with the word"Yan", symbolizing the location of Liu Bei, the King of Yan.

But at this time, Liu Bei was already at Maojin Ferry, leading a main force of more than 200,000 people to take a boat to Liyang.

On Liu Bei's orders, he led an army of 50,000 people under Liu Bei's banner and continued westward to Tongguan.

In order to complete the play, Wei Yan acted very arrogantly.

Not only did they force the city into the stronghold, they also used Xiangyang artillery to bombard Tongguan day and night.

Today is already the third day of bombing the city

"Tongguan is indeed the most powerful pass in the world. Even the Xiangyang cannon can't do anything about it."

Looking at the standing Guancheng, Wei Yan couldn't help but sigh.

"General Wenchang, our army only has 50,000 soldiers and horses, but we are forcing the city into the stronghold, and we are so arrogant that we are bombarding Tongguan with Xiangyang artillery day and night."

15"If Cao Cao is angered and he leads his army out of Tongguan, how should we resist him?"

"Cao Cao has an army of more than 100,000."

The deputy general Jiang Qin beside him was worried.

Wei Yan frowned slightly, but shook his head and said:

"This is exactly what I am worried about, but this is what Deng Guoxiang ordered us to do before leaving."

"Even if it's a risk, I have to follow orders."

Even Wei Yan, the general, could not understand Deng Mu's profound meaning.

"Deng Guoxiang is using advance as a retreat!"

"We are pretending to be an army of more than 200,000 people. We should have attacked aggressively and aggressively to show our superiority in military strength."

"If we stay far away from Tongguan and go to the stronghold, but we dare not attack the key point for a long time, wouldn't it be true that Cao Cao is suspicious?"

"The more we force the city into the stronghold and the more arrogantly we bombard it, the more convinced Cao Cao is that the king is here and that we do have an army of 200,000."

"I have to say that Deng Guoping's understanding of people's hearts was truly superb."

A young scribe next to him revealed the mystery with an admiring tone.

The young man's name is Ma Su, and he is Ma Liang's younger brother. He was recommended by Deng Mu to serve as Wei Yan's army staff.

Wei Yan suddenly understood and couldn't help but nodded in admiration:

"Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Deng’s arrangement had such profound meaning."

"No wonder we bombarded him for three days, but Cao Cao didn't dare to take the lead. He just huddled in Tongguan and allowed us to ravage him."

While several people were sighing in admiration, the last stone bullet had been fired.

Wei Yan raised his whip and sneered:

"Ming Jin withdraws his troops, we will continue the bombardment tomorrow!"

Dang, clang, clang~~

The golden sound resounded over the wilderness.

The five hundred Yan troops retreated slowly and returned to the camp.

The world returned to peace.

On top of Tongguan City, the Wei soldiers who shrank their heads to avoid bullets dared to go straight. Stand up.

Seeing that the Yan army has retreated, the Wei army secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Cao Cao dusted off the dust on his shoulders and coldly snorted:

"Big-eared thief, your Xiangyang cannon is nothing more than this"

"I, Tongguan, will put it here for you to bombard at will. Let me see what you can do to me!"

At this time, Cao Cao was no longer arrogant, but actually had confidence.

Tongguan was built between mountains and was originally built with mountain rocks, making it extremely strong.

In order to guard against the Yan army's Xiangyang artillery, Cao Cao mobilized people's power to further reinforce it with huge rocks.

The city wall under our feet has been repaired and reinforced. Let alone a trebuchet like the Xiangyang Cannon. Even if Deng Mu built the cannon for Liu Bei, it might not be able to break it.

"Your Majesty, the Yan army only has 50,000 troops, how can they be allowed to be so arrogant!"

"Why don't our troops come out in full force and pursue the enemy while they are retreating?"

"Maybe we can defeat the Yan army in one fell swoop!"

Ma Chao shouted for war with great enthusiasm.

The generals were all impassioned and called for war.

Cao Cao's eyes were full of fighting spirit. He was inspired by the generals and had the urge to send troops.

"Your Majesty, please do not act rashly"

"I believe that the Big Ear Bandits deliberately challenged our army with fifty thousand soldiers and horses in order to lure the king out of seclusion to pursue him."

"I expect that the main force of his army will be ambushed in the valley east of Tongguan. If our army pursues it rashly, we will be caught in the ambush. But Sima

Yi had a sarcastic expression on his face,"exploiting" Liu Bei's intentions.

Cao Cao's fighting spirit disappeared from his eyes, he stroked his short beard and sneered:

"Zhongda's words are reasonable. The big-eared thief wants to lure me to attack. How can I do what he wants?" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"I, the king, just stood still and watched how he jumped up and down!"

There was a burst of sarcastic laughter on the top of the city.

Just when Cao Cao was about to go down to the city, a soldier hurriedly climbed onto the city, held up a silk book and reported urgently, and fell down in front of Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty, the former general will be rewarded!"

"A few days ago, Liu Bei suddenly led the main force of the Yan army to the east by water and launched a sudden attack on Liyang."

"The former general was defeated and had to retreat to Liyang City to hold on."

"The main force of the 250,000 Yan army has all landed ashore, and they want to surround Liyang City!"

"The former general asked the king to return to Jizhou quickly and rescue Liyang City, otherwise Liyang will not be saved!"

The top of Tongguan City exploded with a bang. Cao Cao, who was about to go down to the city, 643 his feet went weak and almost couldn't stand still.

Whether it was Ma Chao or Sima Yi.

The Wei counselors and generals present were all shocked and shocked.

"Why did Liu Bei appear in Liyang?"

Cao Cao shouted and snatched the urgent report from the courier's hand.[]

It was written clearly in black and white, and he couldn't help but believe it.

"Why?"

"Aren't the big-eared thieves attacking Tongguan? Why did they suddenly return to Liyang?"

"What is going on?"

Cao Cao murmured in shock, his hands holding the silk book were shaking, and his eyes were full of confusion.

Suddenly, a thunder struck from above his head, waking him up from his confusion. He was caught in a trap!

From the beginning, Liu Bei's goal was not Guanzhong, but Hebei!

Pretending to march westward with an army was just to lead his main force to Tongguan, leaving Liyang empty of troops.

The 50,000 Yan troops attacking outside the pass were not bait at all!

It was Liu Bei's bluff and a cover-up to deceive him!

Liu Bei The main force of the army had long taken advantage of the situation when he was retreating to Tongguan, and sailed down the east river in a naval warship. He unexpectedly killed him with a carbine, attacked Hebei, and surrounded Liyang!

"This king was tricked by that big-eared thief again!"

"Damn it, damn it!"

Cao Cao became furious and angrily tore the silk book in his hand to pieces.
