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

When the celebration banquet ended that day, Liu Bei led his army to Chang'an in triumph.

Deng Mu took on the heavy responsibility and marched south first to quell Chen Ba's rebellion in Chuzhou.

Chen Ba was originally a brave general under Sun Ce. He came from a famous family in Jiangdong and was famous.

When Liu Bei led his army to the west to attack Wei, he gathered Sun Ce's old subordinates and rose up in Wu, igniting the flames of rebellion.

Now that Wei had surrendered, Deng Mu finally had some free time and was determined to eliminate this major threat for Liu Bei.

After ten days of trekking, Deng Mu and his party finally arrived at Xiangfan City, the seat of Chuzhou.

He rode his horse straight into the state government, urgently summoned Chuzhou officials, and inquired in detail about the battle situation in Hancheng.

According to the latest intelligence, the pseudo-Chen army that invaded Chuzhou has expanded to more than 50,000 troops, and Chen Ba is leading another 30,000 elite soldiers to rush to Seoul for reinforcement.

At the same time, on the Feicheng front, Chen Ba left Wang Seng to command more than 40,000 troops to defend against the army led by Huang Zhong.

This situation means that once Chen Ba and Tan Dao join forces, the total strength of the enemy in Chuzhou will soar to 90,000.

This is on par with the army under Deng Mu, and the situation will become more serious.

What's more difficult is that Chen Ba's troops are mainly navy, and their combat power is undoubtedly stronger in this Chuzhou battlefield.

"Where is Tan Dao now?"

Deng Mu stared at the map and asked in a deep voice.

"Report to the Prime Minister."

Wen Qin, the general who arrived in Xiangfan first, pointed to the map and analyzed:

"Tan Dao has left Wen Tai and Wei Rui to lead 20,000 troops to defend Hancheng."

"And he himself led 20,000 naval forces westward, intending to attack Yuecheng."

"Tan Dao obviously intends to completely cut off the river and block our reinforcements."

Hearing this, Deng Mu frowned and snorted:

"Tan Dao's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. You are so arrogant! You just occupied Hancheng and you want to cut off our Dajiang River. What a foolish dream! ”

Taishi Ci immediately said:

“Prime Minister, Yuecheng is the intersection of Xiangjiang River and Dajiang River, and its strategic position is crucial.”

“If Yuecheng falls, the enemy can march straight into Jingcheng. Not only will Dajiang River be cut off, but even Xiangjiang River will fall into the hands of the enemy.”

“By then, the whole state will be in danger.”

His tone revealed deep worry.

Obviously, as a general who has been guarding Xiangzhou for many years, he knows the importance of Yuecheng very well.

Deng Mu naturally knows the importance of Yuecheng.

"Since Yuecheng is so crucial!"

Li Yi proposed:

"Why don't we lead the army to take Jingcheng directly, and then rush to Yuecheng along the river?" (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Deng Mu's eyes wandered on the map. Li Yi's suggestion seemed feasible under the current situation.

Just then, Guo Jia, who had been silent all the time, suddenly broke the silence:

"Prime Minister, in my opinion, we might as well win by surprise, attack Hancheng directly, and cut off the retreat of Tandao!"

As soon as these words came out.

All the generals in the hall were moved.

Taishi Ci quickly retorted:

"Although Fengxiao's plan is brilliant, it is difficult to implement."

"Since Tan Dao has left a large number of troops to guard Hancheng, he must have a foolproof plan."

"It will be difficult for us to launch a surprise attack on Hancheng."

Wen Qin also nodded in agreement:

(Zhao's Zhao) "General Taishi is right. Tan Dao has sent Wei Rui to lead the army to control the key points of the Han River."

"At the same time, Tan Dao has also laid down layers of defense lines on land."

"It is almost impossible for us to break through the siege and launch a surprise attack on Hancheng."

Deng Mu's eyes wandered repeatedly on the map, weighing various gains and losses in his mind.

The concerns of Taishi Ci and Wen Qin were not unreasonable, but Guo Jia's proposal was not impossible. []

He knew that in order to break the deadlock, he had to come up with a surprise attack. .
