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

Chapter 288

Extreme?

Deng Mu sneered.

I won’t go into detail about Sima Yi in history, who betrayed his trust and usurped the Cao family.

After all, the power of the Cao family was stolen from the Liu family. Everyone is equal, so no one should laugh at anyone.

The key is that after your Sima family usurped the throne, it was just that you failed to create a prosperous dynasty comparable to the Qin and Han Dynasties. Instead, you started the Eight Kings Rebellion, which caused the Han people to kill each other and their vitality was seriously damaged.

In the end, the barbarians took advantage of your illness and took your life, taking advantage of the opportunity to seize control of the Central Plains. The five barbarians ravaged China, and the Shenzhou and the land sank, plunging China into three hundred years of darkness.

During these three hundred years, the Han people suffered humiliation and became lambs to be slaughtered by the barbarians.

The initiators were Sima Yi and his Sima clan.

Although the current timeline has changed, it is very likely that Old Liu will revive the Han Dynasty, and Sima Yi will no longer be able to seek the throne and usurp the throne.

But for Deng Mu, he couldn't tolerate even a one in 10,000 possibility.

Therefore, he wants to wipe out the Sima clan and nip this one ten thousandth possibility in the cradle.

"If the Sima family is not eliminated, they will become great in the future"

"Ziyi, you don’t need to ask any more questions, just obey the orders and act."

"Remember, there is no need to let the king know about this."067

"You know the king's benevolence and righteousness. Even if he kills Sima Yi, he will not implicate the entire Sima family."

Deng Mu lowered his voice and warned.

Although Tai Shici couldn't understand why the Sima clan became such a big problem, since Deng Mu was so sure, he naturally didn't dare to question it anymore.

After all, Deng Mu was a god-like existence, and his words How could it be wrong!

"The general knows what to do, but please rest assured, Prime Minister. Taishi

Ci asked no more questions and just accepted the order and left.

At that moment, Taishi Ci led 20,000 elite soldiers and rushed towards Hanoi County at starry night.

Outside Liyang City, the Yan army's bombardment began.

More than 400 Xiangyang cannons , began to bombard Liyang City day and night.

Countless boulders intertwined into stone rain in the sky, shrouding this Hebei gateway. The sky collapsed and the earth shattered, and the gods and ghosts changed their colors.

In less than two days, the four gates The city towers and buildings above the city walls were all razed to the ground.

Countless Wei soldiers were killed and injured.

Although Cao Cao had reinforced Liyang City many times before, its walls were stronger than ever before. The bombardment of Xiangyang artillery had an unprecedented impact on the morale of the Wei army. The more than 20,000 Wei soldiers in the city were all frightened by this terrifying bombardment and were fighting tremblingly all day long.

Three days after the bombardment, the siege began.

More than 200,000 Yan troops launched an attack on the four walls of the city at the same time.

Countless Yan troops rushed towards the city wall like a tide.

Facing the violent attack of the Yan troops,

Cao Ren and Cao Zhang could only grit their teeth and scold. With 20,000 Wei soldiers, they tried their best to resist.

However, under the fierce bombardment of ten times the Yan army's strength and the constant bombardment of stone bullets day and night, the Wei army's resistance became increasingly weak.

Liyang City was already in a state of turmoil.

…

To the west, Hanoi.

After Taishi Ci led his army into Hanoi, it was natural that the force was like a broken bamboo, destroying everything.

Since Cao Cao did not expect that the Yan army would launch an attack on Hebei, the defenders in Hebei were only more than 5,000 strong.

The guard general Li Kan was not even a famous general in the world.

Facing the attack of Taishi Ci's 40,000 troops, Li Kan was naturally no match, so he had to retreat in succession, and the remaining defeated troops retreated all the way west to Jiguan.

Within three days, Taishi Ci captured the entire county of Hanoi.

He remembered Deng Mu's instructions and ordered Ding Feng to lead an army and attack Wen County with lightning speed.

Sima Fang and his sons, together with the rest of the Sima clan, totaling more than fifty people, were all slaughtered by Ding Feng overnight.

…

Hedong County.

One hundred thousand Wei troops were running wildly along the Eastward Avenue.

Cao Cao frowned and whipped his horse wildly, urging the horse to move quickly.

The plain ahead comes to an end, and the mountains gradually rise

"In front of you is Wangwu Mountain, and Jiguan was built at the entrance of Wangwu Mountain."

"Passing Jiguan and heading east along the Qinshui River, we will reach the Lord of Hanoi. If our army marches day and night, we can reach Liyang in less than seven days."

"I thought that when the king was rescuing Liyang in the east, he could collect boats and rafts and pretend to cross the river to capture Luoyang."

"After Liu Bei hears the news, he will definitely deploy troops and horses to increase Luoyang's frontline defense."

"In this way, we can divide Liu Bei's forces, which will be more conducive to us resolving the siege of Liyang!"

Sima Yi followed Cao Cao closely, describing a blueprint for Cao Cao incessantly.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Sima Yi wanted to make up for his miscalculation again, which caused Li Yang to be easily surrounded.

"Hanoi is your hometown, and you know the roads best"

"Zhongda, you will be the guide and lead my army back to Liyang as quickly as possible."(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Cao Cao finally responded to Sima Yi's diligent suggestions.

This meant that his complaints against Sima Yi had finally eased.

Sima Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said:

"Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I know every plant and tree in Hanoi like the back of my hand. If I lead the way, I will definitely be able to..."

Before the words left his mouth, a scout on horseback came galloping forward.

"Report to the king, Hanoi general Li Kan has a report"

"Liu Bei sent Tai Shi Ci to lead an army of 20,000 men into Hanoi. General Li was outnumbered and lost consecutive battles. He was forced to retreat to Jiguan!"

Cao Cao suddenly changed his expression.

Sima Yi's originally confident expression was instantly replaced by horror.

Liu Bei actually sent troops to attack Hanoi?

This means that Liu Bei had judged that they were going to return to Liyang from Hanoi, and sent troops to capture Hanoi in advance to push them east. The most convenient way to return is blocked!

"Big-eared thief, have you even figured out my route back to the army?"

"It must be Deng Mu, it must be that Deng Mu again!"

"Hateful, hateful~~"[]

Cao Cao was shocked and angry, so angry that he gnashed his teeth and cursed.

At this time.

Sima Yi regained his composure and urgently advised:

"Your Majesty, although Hanoi has been lost, Jiguan is still in our hands."

"Please speed up the march, your Majesty, and be sure to rush to Jiguan first, so that we can still hope to regain Hanoi."

"Tai Shici only has 20,000 troops, how can he withstand my 100,000-strong army!"

"But if Taishi Ci takes the lead and captures Jiguan, our entire division will be blocked to the west of Jiguan!"

Cao Cao shuddered and suddenly woke up.

Then he raised his whip and shouted hoarsely:
