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

Pubanjin.

Before sunset, the Han army had captured this ferry.

The thousands of Wei troops defending along the coast either fled or surrendered, and the Han army took this ferry without bloodshed.

There was no other way, because the Han army was too strong.

Not only was Jiguan lost, but even the 40,000 Xiongnu cavalry were killed without a single piece of armor left under the overwhelming force of the Han army.

Under such a situation, the Wei army in the counties of Hedong naturally collapsed and was completely defeated.

As for the thousands of defenders in Pubanjin, seeing the collapse of the counties and the massive attack of the Han army, they naturally scattered.

The Han army took this city without any effort.

Before dark. 440

Liu Bei and his ministers had already come to the river beach and looked at the situation on the other side from a distance.

On the other side, there was a blazing fire and thick smoke. I don’t know what happened.

“Zi Yu, why is there a fire on the other side?”

Liu Bei looked at Deng Mu with a puzzled look.

Deng Mu also looked far away at the shore.

On the other side, a small town stood majestically by the river.

The thick smoke came from the river beach.

After taking a look, Deng Mu sneered:

“This must be the Wei army on the other side. When they learned that your majesty’s army had arrived, they were so scared that they burned all the rafts along the coast to prevent our army from getting the boats and rafts, crossing the river and directly attacking the other side and capturing Puban City.”

After hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly realized.

Although the Han army had captured Pubanjin, there was still a Yellow River between them and Guanzhong on the other side.

If you want to cross the river, you naturally have to use a boat to cross the river.

The Wei army collected all the boats and rafts along the coast, naturally to prevent the Han army from getting a boat to cross the river and fight to the other side.

"Zi Yu, then next, should we build boats and rafts on the spot and prepare to cross the river?"

Liu Bei asked.

After all, Deng Mu's plan was to bypass the Tongguan defense line from Hedong and enter Guanzhong from the north.

Now that Puyang has been taken, it is natural to build boats and rafts and cross the river.

"Your Majesty is wrong."

"Does your Majesty really think that Cao Cao will sit and wait for death and watch us enter Guanzhong?"

"Or do you think that Cao Cao will lead his army to resist us at the Puguan line even though he knows he can't beat us?"

Deng Mu asked meaningfully.

This reminder made Liu Bei's body tremble suddenly.

Now that the Xiongnu cavalry has been defeated, the strength and weakness of the Xiongnu are obvious.

Whether Cao Cao leads his army to defend Puguan or not, he cannot resist the Han army.

So in this situation where he is bound to lose, will Cao Cao still lead his army to Puban and wait to be defeated by their Han army?

Of course not.

Cao Cao cannot be that stupid.

"Zi Yu's words make sense. Cao Cao will not sit and wait for death."

"Then according to Zi Yu's opinion, how will Cao the thief respond?"

Liu Bei's expression became humble again.

Deng Mu said slowly:

"In my opinion, Cao Cao will most likely lead his army out of Tongguan and attack Heluo."

"Heluo is our heartland. We will never sit idly by and will definitely lead our army back to help."

"In this way, won't Cao Cao's pressure in Puguan be relieved?"

Deng Mu calculated.

Liu Bei was shocked and suddenly realized.

Deng Mu meant that Cao Cao might use a strategy of Wei to save Zhao!

Attack Heluo and force him to return to the south to save Luoyang!

"Zi Yu's words make sense. With Cao Cao's cunning, it is indeed possible."

"Then what should we do? If he really attacks Heluo, do I really have to return to the south to save Heluo?"

Liu Bei frowned and looked at Deng Mu.
