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

"It's just as I expected."

Deng Mu smiled coldly.

That smile seemed to indicate that the appearance of the Huns was within his expectations.

Liu Bei asked curiously: "Zi Yu, did you expect that the Huns would enter Hedong and fight for Cao Cao?"

The eyes of the generals also fell on Deng Mu.

"The number of Cao Wei's troops in Bingzhou is no more than 40,000, and they are all concentrated in the Jingxing Pass line."

"The number of troops that Xiahou Yuan can mobilize to stop our army will not exceed 10,000."

"He can naturally judge that with only these 10,000 troops, it is impossible for us to be a match."

"Then the only chance for him is to rely on external forces.".

"The Huns are entrenched in Xihe County, the closest to Hedong, and have nearly 40,000 cavalry."

"If he doesn't rely on the power of the Huns, who else can he rely on?"

Deng Mu revealed the mystery.

Liu Bei suddenly realized.

At this time.

However, Zhao Yun said: "The Huns are not stupid. I heard that Huochuquan has some heroic qualities. Can this man fight for Cao Cao in vain~ˇ?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Deng Mu again.

"Huchuquan certainly won't fight for Cao Cao in vain."

"In my opinion, there are two reasons why Huchuquan sent troops."

"One is because he understands the principle of the loss of lips and teeth. If Cao Wei falls, the Xiongnu will not survive alone. Your Majesty will definitely destroy the Xiongnu."

"The second reason is that the Xiongnu have coveted Xihe for a long time. Wei will definitely promise Huchuquan that after the success, Xihe will be permanently ceded to the Xiongnu as a fiefdom."

"With these two points, Huchuquan will naturally send troops to be used by Cao Cao."

The truth is revealed.

Hearing this, all the generals of the Han Dynasty were indignant.

"That Cao thief actually betrayed the Han people and ceded Xihe to the Xiongnu?"

"Isn't he afraid of being cursed in the history books?"

Liu Bei clenched his fists, and his face was burning with anger.

Deng Mu said meaningfully:

"Although Cao Cao is a traitor to the Han Dynasty, his ambition was to become the General of the Western Expedition of the Han Dynasty and wipe out the Hu people."

"So I guess Cao Cao will not take the initiative to issue an order to cede land in exchange for the Huns to send troops for him."

"This should be Xiahou Yuan's own initiative, using Cao Cao's name to induce Hukou Chuquan to send troops."

Hearing this.

Liu Bei suddenly realized and nodded:

"Zi Yu is right, I still know Cao Mengde."

"Although I will never stop fighting with him, I dare to conclude that he will not do such a shameful thing for the world!"

The generals discussed for a while.

“. “ Your Majesty, regardless of whether the Huns were led by Cao Cao.”

“But judging from the enemy’s current momentum, it is clear that they want to stop our army from advancing westward and seize Ancheng.”

“ Your Majesty, it seems that we must prepare to fight the enemy.”

Zhao Yun bowed and reminded.

Liu Bei immediately became alert, his spirits lifted, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, although our army has 100,000 soldiers, the number of cavalry is only 10,000."

"Although the Huns' troops and horses are only 40,000 this time, they are all cavalry."

(Good)

"40,000 cavalry is not a trivial matter!"

Guo Jia on the side reminded.

Liu Bei frowned slightly, and a bit of fear flashed in his eyes.

Although he was the strongest in the world at this time, he was not so arrogant that he did not even take 40,000 cavalry into consideration.

"Zi Yu, 40,000 enemy cavalry cannot be underestimated."

"Then what do you think? Should we set up camp first, discuss a strategy to defeat the enemy, and then fight the Huns?"

Liu Bei looked at Deng Mu.
