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

Sima Yi was shocked when he heard this.

He couldn't help but gasp, his face full of disbelief:

"Yang Fu's plan was ingenious, how could His Majesty end up in such a defeat?"

Jia Xu was also overwhelmed, but he couldn't figure out why.

After a while, he had to take a deep breath, forced himself to calm the waves in his heart, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's put it aside for now. The most urgent thing is to welcome His Majesty back to the city safely, and then make plans."

Everyone put aside their suspicions when they heard this, and hurriedly ordered the city gates to be opened and the drawbridge to be lowered to welcome Cao Cao back.

Not long after.

On the snowy field south of the city, the army gradually became clear.

The original 30,000 strong army, now only more than 10,000 people are left.

Moreover, the returning Wei soldiers were all wounded and staggering.

On the snow, there were shocking bloodstains.

Cao Cao rode on his horse, looking gloomy, silently passed through the city gate and walked into the city.

Jia Xu and other important officials who stayed behind hurried down to the city to greet him, but saw Cao Cao's eyes were empty, he walked straight into the city without saying a word.

The officials looked at each other, not knowing how to speak, so they had to follow him silently and go to the mansion.

Half an hour later.

Cao Cao took off his armor and sat in the mansion.

Faced with a table full of delicious food and wine, he had no intention of eating at all.

Jia Xu and Ma Yi looked at each other and had to step forward and ask:

"Your Majesty, could it be that Yang Fu's plan was discovered by Deng Mu?"

Cao Cao was furious and gnashed his teeth and said:

"I don't know whether Deng Mu, the country bumpkin, has discovered it, but Xiahou En actually surrendered to the enemy!"

"He moved the morale of our army and helped the big-eared thief to defeat our army in Yuncheng!"

"How can I forgive such a disloyal and unrighteous beast!"

Xiahou En surrendered to the enemy?

When these words came out, Jia Xu and others were all shocked and looked unbelievable.

Who is Xiahou En? He is a descendant of the Xiahou family, and can be called a royal family like the Cao family.

As a royal family, he actually betrayed Cao Cao and surrendered to Liu Bei?

Who can believe this!

For a moment, everyone was stunned and speechless.

It was Cao Cao who calmed down first, suppressed his anger, and asked:

"What is the current situation of Jieting? Is it still under our control?"

Jia Xu came to his senses and hurriedly replied:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Jieting is still in our hands. Ma Chao and Yang Fu have led their troops to occupy Jieting."

Cao Cao felt a little relieved and ordered:

"Zhongda, you go to Jieting quickly and lead 5,000 soldiers to strengthen the defense of Jieting."

Sima Yi did not accept the order, but his face was ashen and he sighed.

Cao Cao was furious when he saw this and shouted:

"Didn't you hear my order? I want you to reinforce the defense of Jieting!"

Sima Yi sighed helplessly:

"Your Majesty, it is too late to reinforce the defense of Jieting at this time.It's no use. The Han army has surrounded Jieting and our army has lost contact with Jieting."

Cao Cao was struck by lightning, his body swayed and he fell to the ground.

His face was full of despair.

"What...what should I do?"

"I...what should I do?"

"Is God really going to destroy my Wei Dynasty? ”

He murmured to himself, his voice hoarse and helpless.

Originally, he had placed his hopes on Yang Fu’s brilliant plan, hoping to defeat the Han army in one fell swoop and turn the tide of the war.

Unexpectedly, he failed because of Xiahou En’s betrayal.

Yuncheng was not conquered, and the soldiers and generals were lost, while Jieting was in danger.

Once Jieting was lost, hundreds of thousands of Wei troops rushed into Longyou. How could he resist?

In Cao Cao’s heart, there was already an abyss of despair.

…

The setting sun was like blood, slowly sinking into the horizon.

Ma Chao alone Standing on the top of Jieting City, with a frown on his face, he gazed through the twilight and stared at the impenetrable Han army camp outside the city.

The 80,000 Han army surrounded Jieting like an iron wall!

The continuous camps extended to the end of the sight, and even the smallest gaps were blocked.

In the field of vision, it was vaguely seen that the Han army's Xiangyang artillery array was slowly advancing, foreshadowing a thunderous attack was about to come.

Ma Chao looked back at Yang Fu beside him and said worriedly:

"Yang Taishou, you said you have a countermeasure to resist the Han army's Xiangyang artillery."

"Now that the Han army's Xiangyang artillery is about to bombard the city, what is your trick? ” (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Yang Fu raised a faint smile and said confidently:

“General Ma, don’t worry. I have my own strategy, which will definitely make the Han army’s Xiangyang cannon useless. "

Ma Chao felt relieved, but still couldn't hide his curiosity.

He really couldn't understand how this small Jieting could resist such a heavy siege weapon?

…

It was already night.

The night was getting darker.

Outside the city, there was a dead silence, only the sound of the wind.

Inside the city, along the wall, there were flickering fires and big pots steaming.

The soldiers were busy pouring the accumulated snow into the pots, boiling it into boiling hot water.

"Tai Shou Yang, what are you doing..."

Ma Chao looked at this scene, full of confusion.

Yang Fu smiled and answered: "General, look, this is my countermeasure. ”

As the water in the pot boiled, at a command, the Wei soldiers moved quickly and poured hot water onto the city wall.

Instantly, the cold city wall was covered with warm water.[]

It quickly condensed into ice in the biting cold wind, covering Jie Ting with a layer of ice armor.

Ma Chao witnessed this scene, and a look of realization flashed in his eyes.

Then it turned into ecstasy.

He finally understood Yang Fu's brilliant plan:

Use the coldness of Longxi's severe winter, use ice as a shield, and build an indestructible ice city.

"Yang Fu, this plan is really a stroke of genius!"

Ma Chao praised excitedlySighing, he cast a respectful look at Yang Fu.

Yang Fu smiled modestly and asked:

"General Ma is also from Longxi, so he must know how harsh the winter is here. Do you think such an ice wall can resist the Xiangyang cannon of the Han army?"

"Yes! Absolutely!"

Ma Chao was full of confidence and sneered:

"The big-eared thief would never have expected that we would have such a trick. When the Han army bombs the city later, we will give him a surprise!"

The two smiled at each other.

At that moment, the two continued to command the soldiers, working all night and continuously thickening the ice layer.

Until dawn, an ice city shining with cold light stood tall. .
