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

And in the north of Guzang City, on the top of a small hill.

Cao Cao stood on his horse, his eyes penetrating the mist, and locked onto the east.

Around, 30,000 Wei soldiers were also looking forward to it, their eyes full of expectation.

Although the cold wind was strong, it could not blow out the raging fighting spirit in their hearts.

In the direction of Guzang City, the flames shot up to the sky, reflecting everyone's face.

The shouts and cries of killing continued all night.

"Your Majesty, it seems that General Wang's sneak attack has succeeded."

Liao Zhang could not hide his excitement and said to Cao Cao with emotion.

Cao Cao looked pleased, turned to look at Jia Xu, and praised:

"Wenhe, your plan is really a stroke of genius. Liu Bei would never have thought that I would have such a trick!"

Although Jia Xu was proud in his heart, he remained calm on the surface and said in a deep voice:

"I hope the big-eared thief is in the city. If this fire can be burned in one go, your majesty's great cause can be accomplished and the world can be settled!"

Cao Cao's smile became brighter and brighter, and he had already sketched out a series of tragic scenes of Liu Bei's defeat in his mind.

Whether he was engulfed by the flames or escaped and fell into Wang Shuang's hands, it was enough to rewrite history.

Just as Cao Cao was full of expectations, waiting for Wang Shuang's victory report.

The dust was flying on the road to the south, as if a large army was galloping.

Cao Cao looked closely and vaguely saw the flag with the word "Wang" fluttering.

"Could it be that Wang Shuang has returned victorious?"

Cao Cao was delighted and rushed down the hillside impatiently.

He imagined the spectacular scene of Wang Shuang's triumphant return and capturing Liu Bei alive.

However, when the troops slowly approached, Cao Cao found that they not only did not look like winners, but were covered in red and wounded, in a state of embarrassment, and their morale was extremely low.

This was clearly a sign of defeat.

Wang Shuang turned over and dismounted, knelt in front of Cao Cao's horse, and said silently:

"Your Majesty, I have lost."

Cao Cao's figure shook, as if he was hit by a heavy hammer, his face suddenly changed, and the whip in his hand slipped weakly.

Instantly, a heavy sense of depression filled the air.

Jia Xu, Liao Zhang and others also changed color in shock, and their faces were solemn.

A sudden setback instantly made everyone's mood fall to the bottom.

Wang Shuang's defeat was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering Cao Cao's dream of turning the tide and turning it into a bubble.

There was a dead silence all around, and everyone's astonishment was beyond words, as if time had frozen at this moment.

"Since Guzang City has been on fire, why did the situation take a sharp turn for the worse?" (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Jia Xu couldn't hide his shock and asked sharply.

Wang Shuang pondered for a moment and slowly told the truth:

"Zheng Xi did successfully sneak into Guzang City, and the fire spread as expected. The Han army in the city was caught off guard, and the ambush outside the city was also unstoppable, killing them in disarray, but——"

He changed the subject, and his helplessness was beyond words:

"JustWhen victory was in sight, the Han cavalry led by Ma Xiu suddenly arrived and completely disrupted our deployment, causing our army to lose and retreat in a hurry. "

When these words came out, Jia Xu's expression suddenly changed, and he was speechless for a moment in shock.

Cao Cao quickly came to his senses and asked urgently:

"Why would the big-eared thief send reinforcements to Guzang City at this moment? What is going on?"

Wang Shuang smiled bitterly and shook his head, and expressed his speculation:

"Your Majesty, I think this must be Deng Mu's plan!"

"The soldiers in Guzang City are actually baits set by Liu Bei, intended to lure our army to attack."

"This reinforcement is precisely because he expected that our army would ambush him, so he set up an ambush! . ”

Cao Cao was shocked again.

The ministers around him, whether it was the wise Jia Xu or the brave Liao Zhang, all looked shocked.

There was an uproar[]

The news of Wang Shuang's defeat spread quickly throughout the army, like a heavy bomb, causing ripples in the hearts of the Wei soldiers.

The morale of the Wei army was severely hit, and the soldiers began to talk about it, full of worries and uneasiness about the future of the war.

"I heard that General Wang returned in defeat, and your majesty's plan failed again."

"I heard that more than 5,000 elite soldiers were lost, which is a heavy loss!"

"We already have limited manpower, and now we have lost so many. If we continue to fight like this, won't we be wiped out?"

"Liu Bei is really a god-like existence. How can our emperor be his opponent!"
