Cao Cao was furious.

Sima Yi was trembling, with a look of guilt and panic on his face.

At this time, from Cao Cao's scolding, he had vaguely guessed the origin of the matter.

He also realized that he had once again been tricked by Deng Mu and had once again miscalculated.

The so-called plan to lure the enemy to attack in the west shot himself in the foot, and was used by Liu Bei to give Cao Cao a plan to attack in the east and attack in the west.

Now Cao Cao is far away in Guanzhong, Liyang is besieged, and the situation is critical.

If Liu Bei was given the first step to capture Liyang City and open the door to Hebei, what consequences would be unimaginable?

And all the blame is due to his self-righteousness!

If it weren't for his clever plan, how could Cao Cao have transferred all his troops to Guanzhong, and how could Li Yang be depleted of troops?

When Cao Cao was questioned, how should he respond?

"Sima Yi!"

"Is this your so-called clever plan?"

"Tell me, how should I explain it now?"

As expected.

Cao Cao turned his angry eyes to Sima Yi and asked sternly with resentment on his face.

Sima Yi was sweating and trembling, not knowing how to answer.

"Your Majesty, now that things have come to an end, we should return to Hebei as soon as possible."

"Liyang City is strong, and the former general is personally guarding it. Although there are few soldiers, it should still be able to hold out for ten days and a half."

"As long as we can return to Liyang in time, there is still hope to defeat Liu Bei! Liu

Ye reminded him.

Cao Cao finally woke up from his anger, glared at Sima Yi bitterly, and then stomped away from the city.

"After passing the order, Xia Yuan came to Tongguan to take charge."

"Send Xu Huang to guard Wuguan"

"The remaining generals will immediately lead the main force to return east to Jizhou with my king to relieve the siege of Liyang!"

Outside Liyang City.

The endless camps have surrounded Liyang City.

Xiangyang cannons have been set up high outside the city, ready to bombard this gateway to Jizhou at any time.

All 250,000 Yan troops crossed the river and completely surrounded Li Yangcheng.

The number of Wei troops in the city did not exceed 20,000.

The siege is imminent.

In the king's tent.

Liyang City's sand table has been piled up in the tent.

Liu Bei and his ministers gathered around to look at the sand table and discuss strategies to break the city.

"Our army has a tenfold advantage in strength. The Wei soldiers in the city are panic-stricken. The strength and weakness of our army cannot be more clear~"

"Now there is no need to play any tricks. First use the Xiangyang artillery to bombard the city, and then use ten times the army and 40,000 to besiege the city and attack it."

"Even if we rely on our superior strength, we can kick Liyang City away with one kick!"

Deng Mu's decisive move set the tone for the capture of Liyang.

Liu Bei was deeply convinced and nodded:

"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. There is no need for any conspiracy to capture Liyang. It just requires an overwhelming advantage and an all-out attack on the city."

The blood of all the generals is boiling, and their fighting spirit is ignited.

"With our army's absolute superiority in strength, it is easy to capture Liyang."

"But with Cao Ren's generals and Guo Jia's wisdom, he should still be able to hold on for a few days."

"At this time, Cao Cao must have been working day and night to lead his main force back to Jizhou to relieve the siege of Liyang."

"I believe that our most important task is not to attack the city, but to block reinforcements! Pang

Tong reminded him in time. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Liu Bei was reminded and turned his eyes to the direction of Guanzhong and said:

"Now, what route will Cao Cao take to rescue Li Yang?"

The eyes of all the ministers were also focused on the big map.

Deng Mu raised his hand and pointed, and said unhurriedly:

"Cao Cao's nearest route was naturally to cross the Yellow River from Puban and enter Hedong, then go eastward through Jiguan and enter Hanoi, and then go eastward along the north bank of the Yellow River, heading straight to Liyang"

"I think that the king should immediately divide an army to the west, capture Hanoi first, and block the shortest route for Cao Cao's return eastward."

"At the same time, by capturing Hanoi County, we can also defend Henan Yin on the other side, ensuring that Cao Cao's thieves will not cross the river from Hanoi to attack Luoyang."

"This route was closed, so Cao Cao had no choice but to go north to Jinyang, then east to Jingxing Pass, then detour south through Yecheng, and come to rescue Liyang from the north."

"This time, he would have to walk at least half a month more"

"The extra time will be enough for us to capture Liyang City."

After hearing Deng Mu's analysis, Liu Bei suddenly became enlightened and made a decision in his heart.

"Taishi Ziyi obeys the order!"

"The end will be here!"

Liu Bei raised his hand and pointed to the west, and said sternly:

"I order you to lead 20,000 elite troops and immediately march westward along the north bank of the Yellow River. I will recapture Hanoi County in one fell swoop and block Cao Cao’s nearest route back to Liyang!"

".The general will obey!"

Tai Shi Ci accepted the order with great enthusiasm.

At that moment, Tai Shi Ci resigned from his post after receiving the order.

"Ziyi, please stay!"

As soon as Taishi Ci left with his front legs, Deng Mu followed him with his back legs.

"What else does the Prime Minister have to say? Taishi

Ci hurriedly turned around and cupped his hands.

Deng Mu pulled him forward a few steps and lowered his voice:

"You should have heard of the Sima family in Hanoi. Taishi

Ci was stunned. He didn't understand why Deng Mu suddenly asked about Sima at this time.

After hesitating for a moment, Taishi Ci said:

"This Hanoi Sima clan, even the last general has heard about it a little bit."

"This Sima family belongs to a large family in Wen County, Hanoi. The head of the family, Sima Fang, once served as the Sili school captain and recommended Cao Cao as Xiaolian."

"His second son, Sima Yi, was extremely favored by Cao Cao. I heard that his current status had surpassed that of Guo Jia."

"By the way, Sima Lang, the son of Sima Defense Chief (good Li Zhao), was captured by our army earlier. The last general heard that the king had beheaded him at the suggestion of the prime minister."

Tai Shi Ci told everything he knew about the Sima family.

A cold light flashed in Deng Mu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"Ziyi, after I want you to lead your army to regain Hanoi, send a special force to attack Wen County, and use the means of a rebellion to kill all the Sima clan!"

"Remember, kill them all and leave no one behind!"

As soon as these words came out,

Tai Shi Ci couldn't help being surprised, and his eyes became surprised.

This was the first time in so many years that he saw Deng Muhui have such a murderous intention.

He actually wanted to kill all the people of his surname and clan!

"Although Sima Yi was an important minister of Cao Cao, was it really necessary to massacre his entire clan?"

Tai Shici had to tactfully hint whether Deng Mu's method of genocide was a bit excessive.
