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

Everything happened just as Liu Bei had foreseen.

Cao Cao fled in front of him, and wherever he passed, cities were ravaged, like a plague of locusts, leaving no room for anything.

Wherever the Wei army's cavalry arrived, cattle and sheep were taken away, no rice was left, and valuables were looted. Those that could not be taken away were burned and turned into ashes.

As for those innocent people, their lives and deaths naturally seemed insignificant under the blade of the Wei army.

At this time, Cao Cao was in a desperate situation, and he was cruel and ruthless in his heart.

Survival became Cao Cao's only pursuit.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to kill his own people.

But Liu Bei could not sit idly by.

When the flags of the Han Dynasty filled those ruined cities, those people who survived the disaster naturally became the objects of Liu Bei's protection.

He then stopped, personally comforted the people, distributed food, and rescued the homeless people.

Although this slowed down the march of the Han army and increased the burden of logistics, it also won him the hearts and reputation of the people.

After seven days of arduous journey, the Han army finally arrived at the border of Donghuang County-Longwei City.

At this time, an urgent battle report came from the front. Cao Cao had led 20,000 troops to retreat to Hucheng and was preparing for a decisive battle with the Han army.

Liu Bei immediately led 30,000 light cavalry and took the lead in entering Donghuang County and approaching Hucheng.

But as they went deeper into Donghuang County, the terrain became more and more rugged, the Gobi Desert was vast and boundless, and the wind and sand were raging, which brought unprecedented difficulties to the march.

But all these difficulties could not stop Liu Bei's determination to eliminate Cao Cao.

He led the elite cavalry, and after six days of severe tests of wind, sand and scorching sun, he finally crossed the vast Gobi Desert and arrived at the edge of the oasis where Tiger City was located.

However, Cao Cao had already deployed heavy troops, with Xu Huang leading 7,000 elite soldiers to guard the entrance of Green Land, intending to block the Han army outside the Gobi Desert.

Cao Cao's move was obviously an underestimation of Liu Bei's military strength.

He was confident that with only 7,000 soldiers and horses, he could stop Liu Bei's attack.

But Liu Bei knew that although the Han army was facing a shortage of food and grass, as well as a shortage of water and food, as long as a breakthrough could be found, the situation could be reversed.

So the Han army camp was set up on the Gobi Desert east of Green Land, and more than 30,000 vanguard troops were on standby, waiting for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.

Liu Bei discussed countermeasures with his generals on how to conquer Tiger City.

Inside the big tent.

Liu Bei was sipping sake, and Chen Dao's detailed report about the deployment of Wei's troops at the entrance to Green Land echoed in his ears.

After that.

Huang Zhong was the first to say solemnly:

"Your Majesty, the entrance to Green Land in Donghuang County is actually a steep mountain pass with cliffs on both sides. If our army wants to pass, we have to conquer Xu Huang's troops."

Ma Xiu looked embarrassed and bowed:

"Your Majesty, our army has only 30,000 troops to attack Donghuang County this time. It may not be easy to attack such a dangerous place." (Read the violent novel, just go toFaloo Novel Network! )

Zhuge Dan sighed lightly, as if talking to himself or reminding:

"If we can lure Xu Huang out and fight a decisive battle on the Gobi Desert, we may be able to quickly break through the mountain pass."

"Luring Xu Huang!"

Liu Bei's eyes flashed when he heard this.

He suddenly put down the wine glass, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Your strategy is very much in line with my wishes."

"We will try to lure the snake out of its hole and fight it."

The generals looked at each other, all surprised.

Zhuge Dan smiled bitterly:

"Your Majesty, I just mentioned it casually."

"Xu Huang is not an ordinary person. How could he easily give up the geographical advantage and go out to fight?"

Liu Bei seemed to be confident, with a bit of playfulness in his tone:

"Not necessarily, I still have a trump card in my hand that can anger Xu Huang."

When these words came out, the generals looked puzzled, and none of them understood what he meant. []

Zhuge Dan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly realized:

"Your Majesty, are you referring to Xu Huang's son - Xu Gaiwan?".
