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

Hancheng, a strong city located at the intersection of the east bank of the Han River and the north bank of the Yangtze River, has a steep terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

There are only three routes to conquer Hancheng:

One is to go down the river and land from the south to launch an attack

The second attack route is to take a boat from Xiangfan, go south along the Han River, and land in the west of Hancheng to launch an offensive.

The key to this strategy lies in the use of the navy.

However, the current situation of the navy is not optimistic.

Most of the naval warships of Chuzhou are concentrated in the areas of Jingcheng and Yuecheng. The number of warships in Xiangfan City is seriously insufficient to meet the needs of large-scale naval battles.

Furthermore.

Even if there are enough warships, the elite navy under Deng Mu and the navy general Zhuge Dan are currently fighting fiercely with Tan Dao on the Yangtze River.

Under such circumstances, how can we defeat Wei Rui's navy and open up a passage to Seoul?

This is undoubtedly a huge problem.

As for the third offensive route, it is to start from Xincheng, go southeast along the Han River, and attack Seoul over a long distance.

On this route, Deng Mu has sufficient infantry and cavalry, which can be said to have taken advantage.

However, Tan Dao is not an ordinary person. He has set up many checkpoints on this route, ready to guard against their attack.

Once the plan is leaked and Seoul knows the news in advance, Wen Tai will definitely strengthen the city defense, and the surprise attack plan will lose its meaning.

More urgently, if we fail to capture Seoul within seven days, Chen Ba's follow-up reinforcements will arrive.

The battlefield situation will change fundamentally at that time.

Generals such as Taishi Ci and Wen Qin have already deeply realized these pros and cons, and with Guo Jia's wisdom, it is naturally impossible for him to turn a blind eye to this.

A gleam of light flashed in Deng Mu's eyes, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Fengxiao, since you proposed this strategy, I believe there must be deeper considerations, right?"

"Why not tell me your real plan?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly, stood up and walked to the map, and gently drew his finger between Xiangfan and Hancheng.

"We will not choose the three routes to attack Hancheng, but take this one."

His words revealed a kind of confidence.

Deng Mu and the generals looked in the direction pointed by Guo Jia.

Suddenly, Taishi Ci, Wen Qin and others changed their faces.

There was an expression of disbelief in their eyes.

Taishi Ci blurted out: "Fengxiao, are you kidding? Is that road passable?"

"Why not?"

"If we take this road, we can sneak to the vicinity of Hancheng without making any noise."

Guo Jia asked back with a smile, his tone full of confidence and determination. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Wen Qin couldn't help but question:

"Even if we can get to the vicinity of Hancheng, there is still the Han River between us.. "

"We don't have any boats. Even if it's right in front of us, we can't cross the river."

Guo Jia smiled when he heard this, turned around and looked at Deng Mu, with a strange look in his eyes.

"We don't have any boats, but we have the Prime Minister."

His words seemed to contain some deep meaning.

Taishi Ci and Wen Qin also looked at Deng Mu when they heard this, but their expressions seemed a little confused.

Obviously, they didn't understand the implication of Guo Jia's words.

Deng Mu laughed and stood up suddenly:

"Just follow Feng Xiao's plan!"

"The army will go south to Jingcheng! ”

All the generals were puzzled, but they dared not disobey the order.

So.

As the order was passed down, 50,000 Han soldiers rested overnight and followed Deng Mu to the south from Xiangfan the next day.

They marched along the road and headed straight for Jingcheng..[]
