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

That army was Xiahou Lie's elite cavalry.

There were more than 8,000 soldiers when they set out, but less than 3,000 soldiers were left when they returned.

And everyone was wounded and their armor was incomplete. This scene and this situation were undoubtedly ironclad evidence of defeat.

Cao Cao's face suddenly changed.

The ministers of Wei State around him also looked at each other in shock and panic.

Yang Fu, as a person who offered advice to Cao Cao, was even more puzzled and confused.

Cao Cao forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down the waves in his heart, and pretended to be calm:

"Why are you panicking? Xiahou Lie and his team's victory or defeat is still unknown."

After that, Cao Cao decisively ordered the "953" to open the city gate to welcome the returning soldiers.

The city gate slowly opened and the drawbridge slowly lowered.

A team exhausted and wounded, supporting each other, walked silently into the city.

The air was filled with an indescribable heaviness.

Soon.

Xiahou Lie climbed the tower with heavy steps and half-knelt in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's eyes were anxious and fearful. He suppressed his nervousness and asked in a trembling voice:

"What was the result of this battle?"

Xiahou Lie sighed and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, we lost this battle."

Everyone was shocked when these words came out.

Cao Cao was hit hard, staggering, and almost unable to stand.

Fortunately, the ministers on both sides helped him in time, so he did not lose his composure.

He held Jia Xu's hand tightly, closed his eyes and gasped, trying his best to suppress the surging blood in his chest, so as not to lose his composure in public.

After his breath calmed down, Cao Cao opened his eyes and looked directly at Xiahou Lie and asked in a deep voice:

"Tell me in detail how you were defeated?"

Xiahou Lie took a deep breath and slowly narrated, first the Huangshui River froze, then he crossed the river smoothly, and went deep into the enemy camp...

Then he changed the subject and told how he was intercepted by the Han cavalry and how he was defeated.

Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present.

The reason for the failure was clear.

Liu Bei had obviously seen through Yang Fu's plan, and he used several cavalry to lay a net and wait for Xiahou Lie and others to fall into the trap.

Yang Fu was shocked to the extreme and muttered to himself:

"This is impossible. My plan is perfect. How can he see through it?"

At this time, there was even a hint of fear in his tone.

Xiahou Lie sighed and said helplessly:

"Yang Fu, don't forget that Deng Mu is a master of strategy and is the best strategist in the world!"

"Although your plan is brilliant, it is reasonable that he saw through it."

Yang Fu felt a chill on his back when he heard this.

At this moment.

He had never felt so clearly the gap in wisdom between himself and Deng Mu.

Deng Mu is the high god!

And he, a mortal, tried to challenge the gods, and the result could only beHumiliating oneself.

Cao Cao was shocked and also fell into deep confusion.

After a long time.

He sighed and said sadly:

"Oh, God, where should I go?"

"Could it be that I really can't defeat Liu Bei even once, and will I really be forced to death by him?"

A sense of sadness enveloped the sky over Yucheng. (To read the exciting novel, go to Fly Novel Network!)

…

Inside the Han camp.

Taishi Ci and Ma Xiu, as well as his brother Ma Chao, returned triumphantly with the remaining power of the great victory.

Inside the imperial tent, a celebration banquet has been set up.

Three great generals with outstanding military achievements are competing to tell the process of defeating the Wei army.

After hearing this, Liu Bei looked at Deng Mu and exclaimed:

"The Prime Minister is really good at predicting things. Everything is under your control!"

Deng Mu smiled.

Then Liu Bei laughed heartily and said happily:

"Come on, I will definitely drink with you until we are drunk today to celebrate this achievement!"

"After getting enough rest, we will break Yucheng tomorrow!"

Liu Bei raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp......

The three generals also laughed and drank wildly.

…

At dawn the next day. []

The horns in the Han camp sounded together, breaking the tranquility of the early morning.

After eating their fill, the Han soldiers rushed out of the camp like a tide and rushed towards the Yuncheng Gate.

One after another, the Xiangyang cannons were also pushed to the front of the battle formation, aiming at the enemy city.

The sky was bright, and nearly 200,000 Han troops were ready to go.

The military formation was continuous and vast.

The battle flags covered the sun, and the swords and swords were shining. Its majestic momentum seemed to shake the world.

I saw hundreds of Xiangyang cannons lined up in front of the battle formation, pointing directly at the trembling Yucheng.

The sound of the gong sounded deafeningly at the south gate of Yucheng.

Under the strict command of the generals, the soldiers of the Wei army climbed up to the top of the city and deployed their defenses.

Although Cao Cao had not yet recovered from the heavy losses of the sneak attack on the Han camp last night, he could only force himself to climb up the city wall and personally command the defense.

When he looked at the overwhelming and aggressive Han army outside the city, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

A breath of death could not help but attack his heart.

And the Xiangyang cannons made him feel cold and sweaty.

How many strong cities in the world could not withstand the bombardment of the artifact, let alone his mere fish city?

Not only Cao Cao, but also the soldiers of the Wei army under his command were terrified and demoralized when they saw the frightening Xiangyang cannons.

They seemed to have seen the terrifying scene of the earth-shattering collapse that was about to happen.

The Wei army was afraid before the battle, and tens of thousands of soldiers in the city were shrouded in panic. .
