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

Guo Jia's eyes suddenly lit up.

He said hurriedly:

"The Prime Minister is guessing that there must be someone in Jincheng who dislikes Xiahou Yuan and has long been rebellious."

"Can these people be used by us to become our internal supporters and help us take down Jincheng in one fell swoop?"

Deng Mu nodded slightly in approval.

Guo Jia was indeed not an ordinary person. He was the first to see the meaning of his words.

Deng Mu took a sip of tea and showed a sly smile on his face.

This smile was equivalent to tacitly agreeing with his guess.

Liu Bei suddenly realized and nodded:

"Prime Minister, I guess those Wei troops in Jincheng are definitely not all conscienceless people."

"Among them, there must be heroes——

He didn't finish his words.

The Imperial Guard came to report that someone claimed to be a trusted servant of Liu Bei's old friend Tian Chou and came with a secret letter to ask for an audience.

Tian Chou!

When this name came out, Liu Bei's heart was filled with ripples.

This person was his good friend when he was young. The two had met in Youzhou They were classmates.

But later, they each served their own masters and did their own things, and lost contact.

When Yuan Shao was destroyed by Cao Cao, Tian Chou returned to Cao Cao and was sent to Bingzhou.

Unexpectedly, Tian Chou was now trapped in Jincheng and became Xiahou Yuan's subordinate.

However, after a long time, Tian Chou later followed Yuan Shao and was sent to Bingzhou to work.

At this time, he sent someone to visit secretly, and his intention was self-evident.

"Your Majesty, it seems that those who are dissatisfied with Xiahou Yuan have come here on their own."

"And this person is your Majesty's old friend."

"This is really double happiness. ”

Deng Mu pointed out Tian Chou’s intention with a smile.

Liu Bei was happy and immediately ordered Tian Chou’s messenger to be invited into the tent.

After a while.

An envoy knelt in front of Liu Bei and handed over a secret letter written by Tian Chou himself.

Sure enough.

Everything was just as Deng Mu guessed.

Tian Chou hated Xiahou Yuan’s evil deeds and secretly contacted several generals from Bingzhou and decided to surrender to the Han Dynasty.

This group of people had about two thousand soldiers, who could help the Han army to break through Jincheng and kill Xiahou Yuan.

“Everything is in the hands of the prime minister. Xiahou Yuan finally made these local Wei generals rebel.”

“It will be easy to break Jincheng! ”

Liu Bei took Tian Chou’s letter and was full of admiration for Deng Mu.

So.

He immediately wrote a handwritten letter and asked the messenger to sneak back to Jincheng and bring it back to Tian Chou.

In this letter, Liu Bei not only reminisced about the past, but also expressed his praise for Tian Chou.

He also promised that as long as Tian Chou returned to Han, he would be rewarded heavily.

After the letter was written, Liu Bei rewarded the messenger heavily and asked him to take the handwritten letter and return to Jincheng as soon as possible.

The messenger received the reward and thanked him immediately, carrying Liu Bei's handwritten letter, hurriedly left.

However, as soon as the messenger left, the smile on Liu Bei's face disappeared again.

"Zi Yu, although Tian Chou and his men want to surrender, they have too few soldiers and horses in their hands after all."

"As a general of the Wei State, Xiahou Yuan is an extraordinary general with great prestige."

"What's more, he has Jia Kui to assist him and has nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands."

"Under such circumstances, can Tian Chou and his men's mutiny really succeed?"

Liu Bei still had some concerns in his heart.

So he expressed these concerns to Deng Mu.

Guo Jia and other ministers also nodded. Obviously, what Liu Bei said was also what they were worried about.

They were only afraid that Tian Chou's strength was not enough and the mutiny would fail.
