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

Outside Yecheng, Yanying.

Hundreds of thousands of Yan army officers and soldiers are ready to launch a full-scale attack on Yecheng.

Four hundred thousand bushels of grain and grass were burned, Cao Ang was beheaded, and the morale of the Wei army in Yecheng must have hit rock bottom.

If we don't take advantage of the situation to attack the city now, then we'll wait until later.

Therefore, not long after Liu Bei held the celebration banquet, at Deng Mu's suggestion, he mobilized his entire army and prepared for a full-scale attack on Yecheng.

In the king's tent.

Lao Liu and the generals gathered in front of the sand table and were already planning the attack direction.

The sound of footsteps sounded, and Chen Dao hurried in, his expression extremely solemn.

"Secret report from Yecheng!"

"Cao Cao forced the emperor to abdicate the day before yesterday and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor!"

"Then he ordered Ma Chao to execute the emperor!-"

"The emperor has collapsed!"

In the big tent, there was a deathly silence.

Then the pot exploded.

Liu Bei looked shocked, with disbelief on his face, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and other generals were all shocked and stunned.

Guo Jia, Liu Ye and other former Wei ministers were even more shocked and dumbfounded.

Even Deng Mu had a look of surprise in his eyes.

Cao Cao actually proclaimed himself emperor?

What kind of showmanship is this?

If the states of Yansi had been When you haven't lost it and still have half of the world, you can just proclaim yourself emperor. After all, you are the strongest in the world. Who can stop you if you want to become emperor.

But now your Wei State has lost troops and territory, and has been defeated to the point where even the capital of Yecheng has been defeated. We can no longer hold on, and the situation has reached a precarious stage.

In this unfavorable situation, you still dare to proclaim yourself emperor?

Is Cao Cao your brain in trouble?

The most important thing is.

Cao Cao can just proclaim himself emperor, why do you want to? Kill Liu Xie?

In history, the Cao family usurped the Han Dynasty and the Sima family usurped the Wei Dynasty. They all treated the previous emperors well.

In order to prove to the world that he was a benevolent and righteous king and the place of orthodoxy.

But now you, Cao Cao, killed him Liu Xie, what kind of magical brain circuit is this?

Deng Mu couldn't understand it.

If he had to force an explanation, he could only guess that Cao Cao lost his mind and entered a semi-crazy state under the stimulation of the pain of losing his son.

Only Only then can we explain why Cao Cao made so many stupid moves.

"Cao thief!"

"You have usurped my Han Dynasty and killed my emperor. You are truly full of evil!"

"I, Liu Bei, will kill your nine tribes and avenge the emperor.~~"

Liu Bei came to his senses and let out an extremely angry roar.

Deng Mu knew that Liu Bei's anger was not an act.

At this time, Lao Liu was the Han Dynasty King Yan who was granted the title of Emperor of Heaven.

Cao Cao, a man with a foreign surname, usurped the throne of the old Liu family and killed the emperor of the old Liu family. How could Old Liu, the great Han King of Yan, not be angry?

Even if he looked down upon Liu Xie, he was still a member of his old Liu family.

What qualifications do you have to kill Cao Cao?

Looking at the angry Old Liu, Deng Mu's shocked eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of joy.

Frankly speaking, Cao Cao's move to usurp the Han Dynasty and kill the king is indeed outrageous.

But for Lao Liu, this may not be a good thing.

Now that the orthodox emperor is gone, isn't the biggest stumbling block that stood in the way of Liu becoming emperor kicked away?

Otherwise, even if Lao Liu destroyed Cao Cao and unified the world, how to deal with Liu Xie, a hot mountain Yu, is still a problem.

Cao Cao could force Liu Xie to take the throne because he had a foreign surname and had no burden.

You, Liu, are the uncle of the Han Dynasty. If you imitate Cao Cao and force your nephew to take the throne, you will be slandered by the world.

With Lao Liu's character, I'm afraid he really wouldn't be able to do something like this to force his nephew to take the throne.

I don’t know what trouble will happen again by then.

It's better now.

Cao Cao directly killed Liu Xie.

Liu Xie has no descendants.

This means that all Liu family members are eligible to inherit the throne.

So looking at the world, which Liu family member is more qualified than Lao Liu to inherit the throne? so.

After Liu Xie dies, Old Liu can have no psychological burden, inherit the throne in an upright and upright manner, ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and rebuild the great Han Dynasty.

Not only will I not be criticized by the world, but I will also be supported by everyone in the world!

Lao Liu is currently in a state of indignation and naturally cannot understand this truth.

Deng Mu felt like a mirror. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Liu Ye and other counselors, after being shocked for a moment, also figured out the benefits in the blink of an eye.

Several top counselors looked at each other, with secret joy in their eyes.

Apparently.

Smart people like Dayan knew this very well. They all knew that Cao Cao had made a stupid move at this time and helped Lao Liu remove a stumbling block.

How could everyone not secretly rejoice.

It's just that everyone has a clear mind about this kind of thing, so naturally they can't speak out directly.

0 Asking for flowers

So, after everyone was secretly happy, their faces changed to sadness and anger again, and then they cursed Cao Cao.

"The traitor Cao killed the king and usurped the throne, which is an unforgivable crime!"

"Everyone, how do you think this king should respond?"

Liu Bei put away his anger and glanced at the counselors.

"The first thing His Majesty should do is to mourn for the late Emperor and to avenge his death."

"The second thing is to send out a proclamation to expose Cao Cao's crime of regicide and send it to Yecheng to appeal to the counties in Cao Wei and call on the counties in Cao Wei to abandon Cao's thieves and submit to the king."

"The third thing is to mobilize all the troops, launch an attack on Yecheng immediately, and kill Cao Cao in Yecheng!"

Guo Jia did not hesitate and offered three strategies.[]

Liu Bei was convinced and immediately issued an edict to act according to Guo Jia's policy.

"Most likely, Cao Cao would not sit back and wait for death. He would be trapped in Yecheng and wait for my army to break through Yecheng!"

"The loss of these 400,000 hu of grain and grass should have shattered his illusions."

"I thought that at this time, Cao Cao had probably led his main force to withdraw from Yecheng and fled towards Bingzhou."

Deng Mu had a different view.

Liu Bei was slightly shocked, but was about to speak.

The Tiger Guard reentered and presented a second detailed report:

Cao Cao has led 60,000 troops and hundreds of civil and military officials to leave the city at night and head north to the Zhang River. At this time , there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Yecheng, commanded by Cao Xiu and Xun Yu.

"Sure enough, as Ziyu expected, the Cao thieves really abandoned the city and fled! Liu

Bei looked at the information in his hand and frowned deeply.

"Cao Cao must want to retreat to Guanzhong and rely on the dangers of Tongguan and Taihang Mountains to offset our national strength advantage and continue to confront us from east to west."

"As for Cao Xiu's troops, it should be to delay our army and buy time for Cao's thieves to retreat westward."

"However, our army’s goal in this Northern Expedition is also to capture the two prefectures of Youji and regain Hebei."

"Even if Cao Cao retreats westward and fails to annihilate them all, he still achieves his strategic goal by capturing the two states of Youji."

"What the king has to do now is to attack Yecheng immediately, capture Yecheng as quickly as possible, and attack the Cao thieves as much as possible!"

"Even if Thief Cao retreats to Guanzhong, we will still peel off his skin!"

Deng Mu analyzed the situation and categorically proposed a strategy for Lao Liu.

Liu Bei was deeply convinced and said happily:

"Okay, just like Ziyu said, attack the city with the siege knife immediately!".
