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

"You don't need to look at me like that. I'm not kidding. Yulin City has indeed fallen into the hands of the thief Deng. The king has evacuated and ordered us to quickly lift the siege and reunite with the king." Tan Dao reiterated, revealing a bit of powerlessness in his tone.

Zhang Pan was shocked and looked unbelievable: "How could this be? Why did Yulin City suddenly fall?"

Tan Dao sighed and explained to Zhang Pan in detail the reasons for the fall of Yulin City.

After listening to the explanation, Zhang Pan's body trembled, his face became more and more ugly, and he was confused, as if he could not understand Chen Ba's decision.

"Did Ji Yu really betray us?" He asked doubtfully.

Tan Dao shook his head, "From the current situation, the king may have fallen into Deng's trap and killed Ji Yu by mistake."

Zhang Pan took a breath and said, "The king has always been wise, and he has Su Lu's assistance. How could he fall into Deng's trap?"

Tan Dao did not answer, but looked at the direction of Yulin City from afar and muttered to himself:

"Deng Mu's wisdom is really like a god. Even if we try our best, we are not his opponent after all..."

After sighing, Tan Dao turned around and said, "Let's go. We must give up the siege and retreat to the east."

After that, he left sadly.

Zhang Pan had no choice but to order the panicked pseudo-Chen soldiers to retreat in a hurry.

On the top of the city.

The Han army soldiers successfully resisted another round of enemy attacks and all breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Qin watched the retreating enemy troops and realized that today's retreat was different from usual.

Sure enough, not long after, the scouts reported that the pseudo-Chen army not only gave up the siege, but also directly evacuated the camp and headed northeast, with unclear intentions.

"Tan Dao actually withdrew the siege. Could it be that the prime minister has already..."

Wen Qin was surprised, but he was not sure.

After all, it had been less than seven days since he captured the Red Sea. Even if he had no doubts about Deng Mu's ability, he did not dare to believe that Deng Mu could capture Yulin so quickly.

Therefore, Wen Qin did not relax his vigilance, but instead strengthened his guard to prevent Tan Dao from using a trick to lure the enemy.

At the same time, he sent a large number of scouts to closely monitor the movements of Tan Dao's army.

Three days later, scouts reported back that the Tandao Army had traveled a long way after leaving the Red Sea, and did not return to Yulin, but crossed the Poyang Lake to the east and evacuated towards Moling.

This news made Wen Qin even more excited, and he guessed that his judgment was probably correct.

Five days later, a messenger came from Yulin, bringing a handwritten letter from Deng Mu.

In the letter, Deng Mu praised Wen Qin's achievements and told him the good news that Yulin had been conquered.

Deng Mu ordered him to continue to lead the Red Sea troops northward, join the main force, and jointly attack Moling.

After seeing this victory report, Wen Qin's eyes were full of respect, "Prime Minister, you are really a god!"

He said with heartfelt emotion.

In Yulin City, a large number of weapons and flags and drums 137 are being transported from the original water camp in You to the Yulin water camp.

After celebrating for two days, Deng Mu had already begun to prepare the army to go down the river and take Moling directly.

Although this battle severely damaged Chen Ba, captured Yulin, subdued Wen Tong, and killed more than 10,000 enemies, it did not cause a fatal blow to Chen Ba.

According to intelligence, Chen Ba had retreated to the Hulin line downstream and re-camped, and ordered Chen Quan, who was guarding the pseudo-Chen, to continue to allocate troops to Hulin for reinforcement.

At the same time, Chen Ba transferred back nearly 30,000 troops from Tan Dao, bringing the number of Hulin soldiers back to about 50,000.

This is still a force that cannot be underestimated.

If Deng Mu wants to take Moling directly, he needs to capture several passes such as Hulin of Chen Ba along the way before he can arrive. .
