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

Ma Chao, Wen Chou and other defeated generals returned one after another with their defeated armies.

As Xun Yu expected, the priority targets for Liu Bei's armies to attack were the horn camps on the east and west wings of Ye City.

The generals did not dare to flee back to their partial divisions, so they had to lead their remaining troops and fled back to Yecheng.

Cao Cao collected and counted the defeated troops. In addition to the cavalry, the infantry lost 30,000 people, and the discarded ordnance and drums were countless.

The nearly 200,000 bushels of grain and grass gathered in the two horn camps all fell into Liu Bei's hands.

This defeat can be described as a veritable defeat.

Cao Cao had no time to taste the bitterness of the defeat, so he ordered the defeated soldiers and the defenders of Yecheng to climb up the tower to guard in case the Yan army took the opportunity to attack.

However, Liu Bei did not launch a general attack on Yecheng immediately.

He knew very well that although Cao Cao was defeated outside the city, he still retained nearly 50,000 troops inside the city.

Coupled with the solidity of Ye City, there is not much chance of attacking the city at this time.

So after capturing the East and West Battalions, more than 200,000 Yan troops formed a semi-encirclement of Yecheng from 30,000 troops from the southwest and east.

Since Cao Cao still had 70,000 troops available, and Yecheng was backed by the Zhang River in the north, it was not enough to complete the siege on all sides, so he first attacked the city on three sides and attacked the village 24 times.

…

Yecheng Royal Palace.

Cao Cao, who was sitting in a high position, barely recovered from the pain of losing his son.

He raised his head and scanned the main hall.

The group of Wei counselors and generals in the palace lowered their heads, dejected and depressed.

It was obvious that this battle had dealt a heavy blow to his confidence and will.

There was an atmosphere that the building was about to collapse and its destruction was certain, quietly filling the hearts of the ministers in the palace.

"Why do you have to be downhearted? Isn't it just that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have been lost?"

"Even though I have lost a son, I am not discouraged. Why are you all so embarrassed?"

"Please cheer up this king!"

Cao Cao forced himself to be calm and reprimanded the ministers.

The ministers had no choice but to stand up and try to cheer up.

At this moment, a piece of carefully prepared latest information was sent to Cao Cao's case.

Cao Cao picked it up. At first glance, the face that had regained its composure suddenly became distorted again.

Liu Ye rebelled!

In this situation, Liu Ye defected to Liu Bei, Cao Zhang was betrayed, and the truth about their internal and external conspiracy to leak to Liu Bei was clearly written..

Every word was like a knife, ruthlessly cutting into Cao Cao's heart.

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly realized why he was defeated so miserably.

It wasn't that Deng Mu saw through their plan.

It was that bitch Liu Ye, From the very beginning, he had made up his mind to defect to Liu Bei.

The trick to surrender and the trick to sacrifice the flesh were just a cover for Liu Ye to escape and a way to ask for credit and reward from Liu Bei! He and his son were all played by Liu Ye.

Being played like a clown!

"Liu Ye, you ungrateful, despicable traitor!"

"In vain of my trust in you, you dare to play tricks on me and betray me like this!"

"This king wants to destroy your whole family, you want to kill you~~"

Cao Cao was furious, roaring and cursing hysterically, and threw the secret report in his hand in front of the palace.

The ministers were stunned again.

Except for Xun Yu and Sima Yi, who had vaguely guessed something, everyone else looked confused.

Cao Ang, Ma Chao and others hurried forward and picked up the secret report and looked at it carefully.

A sudden realization.

Only then did they understand why they lost.

It turns out that it was Liu Ye’s plan from beginning to end.

"I should have thought that Liu Ye is a descendant of the Liu family, and he and Liu Bei wear the same pants!"

"None of the people named Liu are good, they are all despicable and shameless people!"

"Hateful, hateful~~"

Cao Ang, who understood the truth, gritted his teeth and cursed.

Cao Cao stood up and shouted angrily:

"When someone comes, he immediately sends an edict to kill Liu Ye's entire family!"

"This king is going to kill his entire family, not even the young or old!"

"Leave no one behind!"

No one responded, and they looked at Cao Cao with embarrassed expressions.

When Cao Cao saw that his ministers did not accept the order, he was furious and was about to have another attack on the spot.

When the words came to his lips, he suddenly woke up.

He remembered.

Liu Ye At that time, in the name of acting true, he had already taken away all his family members in the name of pretending to surrender to Liu Bei.

"Phew!"

Cao Cao fell down and cursed through gritted teeth: (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"This cunning and treacherous dog thief is truly extremely treacherous!"

"Hateful, hateful~~"

In the main hall, Cao Cao's endless curses sounded again.

The ministers did not dare to say a word and could only continue to lower their heads and listen to Cao Cao's endless curses. finally.

Cao Cao didn't have the strength to continue scolding, and slumped down on the throne weakly.

Enough scolding, now we have to face reality.

After taking a few deep breaths and calming down, Cao Cao had no choice but to ask his ministers:

"In this current situation, we, the Wei Dynasty, have reached a critical stage of survival."

"Let me tell you all, what good strategies do you have that can turn things around and save the situation?"

"At least, we must defend Yecheng!"

No one from the ministers said a word.

After the September 10th battle, even the former plotters like Guo Jia turned to Cao Cao. Among the remaining people, who has the confidence to turn things around for Cao Cao?

In the main hall, It was so quiet that everyone lowered their heads, fearing that Cao Cao would come looking for them.[]

"Wen Ruo, do you have any good ideas?"

"At this time, stop hiding it behind your back and speak out quickly."

Cao Cao had no choice but to ask Xun Yu for advice in a humble tone.

This was the first time in recent years that he asked Xun Yu for advice.

There was no other way.

In such a situation, he couldn't care less about the king of Wei. In order to save face, he had no choice but to bow his head to Xun Yu.

After thinking for a while, Xun Yu cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, the only solution is now. It is no longer realistic for us to defeat Liu Bei."

"It was a blessing to be able to defend Yecheng and force the Yan army to retreat."

Cao Cao heard the clue, his eyes brightened, and he asked hurriedly:

"Wen Ruo, do you have any good strategies to defend Yecheng and force Liu Bei to retreat?"

Xun Yu slowly left the team, cupped his hands and said:"Your Majesty, if you want to defend our Yecheng, Your Majesty needs to do two things now!"

"Two things, which two things?"

Cao Cao pricked up his ears and his mood immediately cheered up.
