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

Liu Bei pondered for a long time, but could not figure out the subtleties.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that something is strange."

Zhang Liao's voice awakened Liu Bei.

Liu Bei suddenly raised his head and shot a sharp look at Zhang Liao:

"Wenyuan, have you noticed anything?"

Zhang Liao frowned and touched the flowing water with his fingertips:

"When I led the troops here in the past, the water level was enough to submerge the thighs at the same time."

"Now the water is shallow and only reaches the calf, which is rare."

After hearing this, Liu Bei's doubts increased. He glanced at the flowing water and then looked at Longle City in the distance.

A flash of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, he seemed to have seen through the truth and shouted:

"Where is Chen Dao!"

"I am here!"

Chen Dao responded.

"Cross the river quickly, and tell Huang Zhong to lead the soldiers who have landed to leave the river bank immediately!"

Liu Bei pointed to the other side and ordered in a decisive tone.

"Your Majesty, why is this?"

987 Chen Dao looked confused, but he did not dare to neglect it. He rushed to the other side like an arrow.

Liu Bei immediately gave a loud order:

"Soldiers in the river, hurry up and land!"

"Those who have not entered the water, follow me and leave the river bank quickly!"

After speaking, he rode away.

Zhang Liao and other generals looked at each other. Although they did not understand the situation, they quickly conveyed the order.

The other side

Huang Zhong received the order and immediately led 7,000 elite soldiers to quickly evacuate the river bank and move to a safe area.

The soldiers in the river, both on the east and west banks, rushed to the shore.

The Han army infantry and cavalry on the east bank, who had not yet entered the water, followed Liu Bei and evacuated with doubts.

"Your Majesty, why did we suddenly evacuate the river bank?"

Zhang Liao rode up and asked puzzledly.

Liu Bei explained while riding his horse:

"Wenyuan is right. The water level of the river is abnormal. I am afraid that the enemy is making trouble upstream and intends to release water to flood our army when our army is halfway across the river!"

Zhang Liao suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but take a breath:

"Cao is really cunning. If it weren't for your majesty's wisdom, our army would be in danger!"

The words were not finished.

A deafening roar came from behind.

Upstream, a flood peak rushed down like a beast, instantly swelling the shallow river water to chest height, and the riverbanks on both sides were completely submerged.

The flood peak was ruthless, and nearly a thousand Han soldiers failed to escape in time and were swallowed up by the flood.

Inside Longle City.

Cao Cao clenched his fists, with a fanatical light flashing in his eyes, looking forward to the spectacular scene of the Han army being swallowed by the flood.

However, his plan did not seem to be fulfilled.

According to Jia Xu's plan, the flood peak should break out when half of the Han army crossed the river, and the Han army would suffer heavy losses and fall into chaos.

Cao Cao wanted to take this opportunity to lead all the elite troops out of the city and annihilate the Han army in one fell swoop.

But the scene before him made him doubtful.

The sudden withdrawal of the Han army completely disrupted his deployment.

He hurriedly looked at Jia Xu, trying to find the answer.

Jia Xu also frowned and remained silent. (To read the novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

At this time, the flood peak had arrived, and the water in front of the east gate of Longle City (cdbg) surged past, instantly swallowing up 300 Han soldiers who had no time to escape.

Cao Cao felt mixed emotions.

He realized that his plan might have been exposed.

However, he was not discouraged, but became more determined to turn the tide.

Seeing thousands of Han soldiers being ruthlessly swallowed by the surging torrent, Cao Cao couldn't help but look a little relieved.

He slammed his clenched fists heavily on the battlements, his anger mixed with regret that was difficult to conceal, and he roared in a low voice:

"Hateful! At this critical moment, the big-eared thief could actually see through Wenhe's plan!"

"What should we do?"

"The big-eared thief is really destined to see through Wenhe's exquisite layout, alas~~"

Wang Shuang was furious and clenched his fists.

Only Jia Xu was not in a hurry at this moment, and slowly spoke:

"Your Majesty, please be patient. Even if the big-eared thief sees through this plan, there is still a turning point."

"Turning point?"

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly brightened, and he stared at Jia Xu closely.

Jia Xu raised his hand and gently pointed to the bottom of the city, where more than 30,000 Han troops were standing on the west bank in panic, in a dilemma.

Cao Cao suddenly became clear-headed, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Although the flood failed to cause serious damage to the main force of the Han army, it unexpectedly isolated the nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses on the west bank.

At this moment, it was a godsend opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop while they were still unstable.

"Wenhe is right, this battle is far from over!"

Cao Cao's voice revealed a murderous aura, and he shouted decisively:

"Lead the entire army to attack immediately, and make sure to completely eliminate the enemy who crosses the river and lands before the subsequent reinforcements of the Han army arrive!"

"Yes!"

The generals took the order, hurried down the tower, and jumped on their horses.

Then, they opened the city gate and lowered the drawbridge.

In an instant, the 8,000 infantry and cavalry soldiers in Longle City rushed out like a raging tide and rushed straight to the opposite bank.

At the same time

Three miles away from the Longle River, Huang Zhong and his tens of thousands of soldiers were still fleeing desperately.

Behind them was a surging and unstoppable flood. .
