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

Guo Jia spoke eloquently, revealing the possibility of the Han army going out of Hanzhong to Qinling Mountains and attacking Guanzhong.

Liu Bei suddenly understood.

The excitement of Huang Zhong and other generals was also suppressed by Guo Jia's words.

Liu Bei nodded slightly and said:

"It seems that if we want to attack Wei and destroy Cao, we have to start from Tongguan."

The topic changed.

Liu Bei frowned again and sighed:

"But Tongguan is a natural barrier. Our army has been attacking for a month without success and has lost thousands of soldiers."

"It is not easy to break through the Wei army's defense line from Tongguan, enter Guanzhong, and destroy Cao Wei."

The excited expressions of the generals gradually calmed down.

At this time,

Guo Jia bowed and said:

"Your Majesty is incompetent and not well-educated. Perhaps we cannot devise a brilliant plan for Your Majesty to capture Tongguan."

"Your Majesty, please wait patiently for the Prime Minister to come. He will surely be able to capture Tongguan."

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and the dark clouds in front of him disappeared in an instant.

Deng Mu.

Even natural dangers such as Jiange and Yangpingguan can be easily captured with brilliant plans.

With Deng Mu here, it is natural to capture Tongguan.

Liu Bei laughed and said happily:

"Okay, okay, then let's wait patiently for a few days for the Prime Minister to return!"

…

Fifteen days later.

East of Tongguan Camp.

Liu Bei led his civil officials and military officers to stand outside the camp early, looking towards the south.

That was the direction Deng Mu was returning from.

After conquering Nanzheng, the northern part of Yizhou and the northern part of Jingzhou were officially connected.

Therefore, Deng Mu did not need to go south to Chengdu, then go east through the Yangtze River, go out of the Three Gorges to Jiangling, and then turn back north, taking a detour of thousands of miles.

Deng Mu only needed to start from Nanzheng, take a boat and go east along the Mian River, and then he could enter Xiangyang by water.

Then he went north again, passing Wancheng, Ye County to Luoyang, and then west to Tongguan.

The distance was at least half less than before.

"The prime minister's carriage is coming, it must be the prime minister's carriage!"

Zhao Yun pointed to the front and said.

Liu Bei was refreshed and looked into the distance.

Sure enough.

I saw a team of carriages and horses, escorted by a team of soldiers, coming along the main road.

After a while, the carriages and horses approached.

When the two young generals Deng Ai and Zhuge Dan saw Liu Bei, they hurried forward to greet him.

Inside the carriage.

When Deng Mu heard the voice of greeting, he thought that Liu Bei came to greet him in person, so he hurried out of the carriage.

Without waiting for him to get off the carriage.

Liu Bei took two steps at a time and came forward to greet him.

"Your Majesty!"

Deng Mu bowed and greeted him.

Without waiting for him to bend down, Liu Bei took a step forward and supported Deng Mu.

"Zi Yu, you've worked hard along the way." (To read the novels of Bao Shuang, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"You and I are the king and the minister, why do we still care about these things? Don't bow!"

Old Liu said he would not bow, that was his way of respecting the wise and humble, that was a kind of honor to Deng Mu.

Deng Mu still understood the human relationship, and still bowed down.

Liu Bei forced Deng Mu to stand up, patted Deng Mu on the shoulder and said:

"Zi Yu, sneaking across Yinping and attacking Dingjun Mountain to take Hanzhong are really strokes of genius."

"The title of the first counselor in ancient and modern times belongs to you, who can compete with you!"

"You have made great contributions to the capture of Yizhou and the recovery of lost territory!"

Old Liu was happy and naturally praised Deng Mu.

Deng Mu naturally would not take credit for himself, and he laughed and said to himself:

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is all due to your great fortune and General Guan's good command of the troops."

"As for me, I just talked a lot, how can I get any credit?".
