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

The plan is revealed.

There was an uproar in the mansion.

Huang Zhong looked stunned and forgot to take the order.

Everyone's eyes turned to the map and fell on the inconspicuous place name"Lukou".

Deng Mu stood up slowly, walked to the map, raised his hand and pointed

"Sun Ce is eager to capture Xiakou and will definitely mobilize all his troops to march westward, so Chai Sang's remaining troops will be limited."

"Once Chai Sang is in danger and the rear is lost, Sun Ce must return to the army to rescue him."

"If we pretend to attack Chaisang and surround Wei to rescue Zhao, we can make Sun Ce take the initiative to retreat and leave Xiakou to us."

"If you want to pretend to attack Chaisang, the water route is naturally not feasible. After all, Sun Ce is blocking the Yangtze River."

"If the waterway doesn't work, then let's make an alternative and let's take the land route."

"We headed east from Lukou, passed Lushui, crossed the Mufu Mountains, and unexpectedly appeared south of Chaisang."

"As long as the troops of General Han Sheng appear near Chaisang, without the need for real swords and spears to attack, Sun Ce will naturally be frightened out of his wits, and he will rush back to rescue him."

"In this way, if the lord takes advantage of the situation and advances his troops, he can confidently and boldly attack Xiakou."

"In this case, wouldn't Sun Ce's work for us be in vain?"

Deng Mu took his time and explained the whole plan to the generals.

Everyone suddenly understood, and finally understood why Deng Mu had absolute confidence that day and could make Sun Ce retreat without a fight.

Chai Sang, Sun Ce was on the Western Front The base camp is where food is stored.

Chaisang is in danger. Even if Sun Ce has 10,000 courages, he would not dare not to rescue him.

"The military advisor's plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao was really a brilliant plan! Huang

Zhong praised, but was surprised:

"After being reminded by the military advisor, the old man remembered that this Lukou could indeed lead to the south of Chaisang by land."

"It’s just that the old man has been guarding Changsha for many years and has only heard about this road but has never walked it."

"How could the military advisor, a new savage far away in Jingbei, know this Lukou Road so well?"

Huang Zhong is inconvenienced. After being reminded like this, all the generals looked strange.

Deng Mu smiled lightly and said nothing.

How did he know?

Of course because he can learn from history.

Because Chibi is just west of Lukou.

Originally, in history, Cao Cao's army descended to Jingzhou without a fight, intending to go eastward along the river and directly take the east of the Yangtze River.

The Sun-Liu coalition forces commanded by Zhou Yu camped in Chibi and fought Cao Cao in the Chibi Battle, which determined whether the north and the south could be unified.

The outcome of the war, Naturally, it ended with Cao Cao's complete defeat.

But why did this battle take place in Chibi?

No one else.

Just because Chibi is located to the west of Lukou, and Chibi Mountain is a dangerous obstacle. It is the only danger to defend Lukou.

If Red Cliff is not defended , , then Lukou will not be protected.

If Lukou is captured by Cao Cao, Cao Cao can use his advantage to ride on foot and take the Lukou road straight to Chaisang.

Zhou Yu is confident that he can stop Cao Cao in the water battle, and he will take the lead in the land battle. To stop Cao Cao's cavalry?

Therefore,

Zhou Yu could only set up his camp in Chibi to ensure the safety of Lukou.

Deng Mu was familiar with this period of history and naturally understood the importance of Lukou. Only then could he think of this overland attack on Chaisang. Wei Wei's plan to save Zhao!

But in Huang Zhong's eyes, this military advisor Deng really has some magical powers.

"Han Sheng, don’t make a fuss"

"Not to mention Jingzhou, all the mountains and rivers in the world are under Ziyu's control."

Liu Bei patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder.

For Old Liu, this was nothing new.

In short, don't ask Deng Mu how he knew, just believe it.

"Old General, don't you dare to accept the task of kicking the bully's ass?"

Deng Mu said excitedly to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong recovered from his surprise and immediately said with emotion:

"I have been in Changsha for a long time, and I have a good understanding of the terrain between the two places."

"My five thousand Changsha soldiers are all elites who are skilled in mountain warfare. This battle belongs to us."

"Don’t worry, my lord, I, Huang Zhong, have taken over this task!"

The plan was decided that day.

Huang Zhong took a grain ship and went down the river in the name of transporting grain to Changsha County.

The grain ship passed through the mouth of Youjiang River, then passed Baqiu, crossed Red Cliff, and arrived at Lukou.

Five thousand elite soldiers from Changsha arrived at Lukou. Under the cover of darkness, he disembarked from the boat and quickly headed east along the land and water, disappearing into the mountains.

As for Jiangling,

Liu Bei ordered the generals to be ready at any time to advance by land and water at any time and directly take Xiakou.

At the same time, he secretly ordered Commander-in-Chief Wenpin of Xiangyang. The Xiangfan navy is ready to go south to the Han River and join forces at Xiakou at any time.

…

Eight days later, Xiakou.

This important town is located on the east bank of the Han River and the north bank of the Yangtze River, at the intersection of the two great rivers.

At this moment, they were completely surrounded by Jiangdong Army.

Thousands of Jiangdong soldiers, encouraged by the sound of war drums, are scrambling to climb to the top of the city.

Under the city wall, there was already a thick layer of corpses piled up

"Huang Zu~"

Looking at the standing"yellow" flag, Sun Ce secretly gritted his teeth, with deep hatred and anger burning on his face.

In the battle on the water, he easily defeated the Jiangxia navy.

But since Huang Zu shrank After entering the city, he attacked with tens of thousands of troops for twenty days. Thousands of people were killed, but they were never able to break the city.

Huang Zu was like a thousand-year-old turtle, shrinking his head into the hard Xiakou In the turtle shell.

No matter how hard you try, you can't break his turtle shell.

After being unable to attack for a long time, Sun Ce has begun to feel a little anxious.

"Huang Zunai is the culprit who shot Wentai's ancestor, and he is Bofu's father-killing enemy."

"He knew that no matter whether he surrendered or was captured, he would be destined to die, so he would naturally defend to the death."

"Even if it is a mob, if they are determined to fight to the death, their combat power will be doubled."

"What's more, the Jiangxia soldiers commanded by Huang Zu were the most elite soldiers in Jingzhou."

"Bo Fu, we need to stay calm and be patient."

Zhou Yu saw through Sun Ce's anxiety and calmly comforted him.

Sun Ce loosened his fist slightly, but coldly snorted:

"Huang Zu is a thief, even if we fight to the death, I will attack Xiakou at any cost and kill him to worship my father's spirit in heaven."

"Gong Jin, what I'm worried about now is that if we can't attack for a long time, Liu Bei will come to reap the benefits sooner or later."

Sun Ce looked upstream in the direction of Jiangling.

He seemed to feel that the new master of Jingzhou was eyeing him.

He didn't know when he would go eastward and give him a surprise.

"Don't worry, Bo Fu. For Liu Bei, the wisest choice is to take advantage of our troops to surround Xiakou, reorganize and surrender the troops as much as possible, and calm the people of Jingzhou."

"The more he delays starting a war with our army, the more beneficial it will be to him."

"What's more, we still have the strongest navy in the world. Does Liu Bei dare to take the initiative to fight?"

Zhou Yu asked with a sneer, with an innate confidence in his eyebrows.

"What Gong Jin said makes sense!"

"If Liu Bei dares to seize Xiakou, we will defeat his navy in one fell swoop!"

The veteran with half-white beard and hair next to him was arrogant and arrogant.

The veteran's name was Huang Gai, one of the three generals in Jiangdong.

The anxiety and worries on Sun Ce's face were wiped away.

"Gong Jin Yi Gong is right. With Liu Bei's courage, he wouldn't dare to mess with me."

Sun Ce's domineering aura raged, he pointed his riding whip at Xiakou and said sternly:

"Send the order, tell the soldiers to be at ease and bold, and besiege Xiakou for me."

"Whoever can behead Huang Zu and avenge my father will be rewarded by Sun Ce with a heavy reward of ten thousand yuan.——"

The gold letter has not yet been exported.

General Pan Zhang came in a hurry on horseback

"Lord, General Han Yigong has sent an urgent report from Chaisang!"

"A large number of Liu's soldiers were found south of Chaisang. Under the banner of Changsha Huang Zhong, they had great potential to attack our Chaisang." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"General Yi Gong asks the lord to quickly send his troops back for reinforcements!"

A bolt from the blue!

Sun Ce's figure swayed, and the domineering look on his face was instantly replaced by shock.

Both Zhou Yu and Huang Gai's expressions changed with shock, and they looked at Pan Zhang anxiously.

"Huang Zhong? That Liu Biao's traitorous general, the Tiger of Changsha?"

"Isn't this old man in Jiangling? How could he appear south of Chaisang?"

Sun Ce suddenly changed his color, snatched the urgent report from Pan Zhang's hand, and read it anxiously with a look of surprise on his face.

Han Dang's secret report was clearly written in black and white.

Huang Zhong did appear south of Chaisang and has already conquered several counties. The momentum was huge, as if there were tens of thousands of troops.

This Liu army that suddenly appeared was encircling Chai Sang from three directions: southeast, southeast and west!

"This doesn’t make sense!"

"How come more than 10,000 troops passed under our noses and suddenly appeared in Chaisang?"

"Did they dive through the water or fly over from the sky?"

Sun Ce's face was full of surprise and confusion, and he handed the urgent report to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu took it and looked at it again and again with the same incredible eyes to make sure that the information was correct.

"Strange, how did Huang Zhong do it and appear south of Chaisang without anyone noticing?"

"This is indeed too weird and cannot be explained..."

Zhou Yu also murmured to himself, his face filled with confusion and confusion.

Only Huang Gai, a Jingzhou native, suddenly changed his expression, and suddenly thought of something.

"It’s Lukou!"[]

"Then Huang Zhong must have taken Lukou Road, crossed Mufu Mountain and entered Yuzhang County, and then went north to attack Chaisang!"

Lukou?

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other with blank expressions in their eyes.

Although they were talented commanders, it was the first time they led their troops into the territory of Jingzhou.

Therefore, they were not familiar with the terrain of Jiangxia and Changsha County.

Only Huang Gai, a native of Jingnan, could figure out how Huang Zhong hid his appearance near Chaisang from their eyes and ears.

Huang Gai immediately brought the map and laid it out in front of Sun Ce.

"Lord, please look, there is a land entrance between Baqiu and Xiakou..."

Huang Gai pointed at the map and revealed the mystery.

Then he said with a confused look:

"From Chaisang to Xiakou, due to the Changsha waterway connecting the two places, water transportation is the main method, and land transportation is rare."

"Therefore, although this Lukou Road exists, few people know about it, and only a few people walk it."

"How did Liu Bei know about such an inconspicuous land route?"

Huang Gai couldn't figure it out.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other. They were also confused and couldn't figure out the reason.

"Lord, no matter how Liu Bei knew about this Lukou Road"

"Su thought that we had fallen into his scheme."

"He is sitting in Jiangling. It seems that his troops are not moving, but in fact he is waiting for us to mobilize an army to besiege Xiakou."

"As a result, our Chaisang City will definitely be empty of troops."

"So he sent Huang Zhong to take the Lukou Road to bypass our Yangtze River defense line and attack Chaisang unexpectedly!"

"We fell into Liu Bei's trick!"

Lu Su opened his mouth and exposed Liu Bei's intentions with a seemingly well-founded analysis.

Everyone suddenly woke up.

Sun Ce clenched his fists again and said angrily in a deep voice:

"Well, Liu Bei, everyone says you are a man of benevolence and righteousness, but they didn’t expect you to be so deceitful!"

"I actually fell into your trick, hateful~~"

Lu Su shook his head and sighed:

"Liu Bei is a good person who has been on the battlefield for a long time, but according to what I know about him, he must not be so smart."

"Su guessed that this must be Deng Mu's masterpiece."

"Only this person under Liu Bei has such wisdom!"

Deng Mu.

This name rang in his ears again.

Sun Ce frowned deeply and murmured:

"Could it be that Kuai Yue was not exaggerating and that we underestimated Deng Mu’s strength?"

These unintentional words made Zhou Yu feel as if he had been slapped in the face.

You know, Lu Su had reminded him before that he must be on guard against Deng Mu.

It was his blind confidence that convinced Kuai Yue that Deng Mu was The evaluation was an exaggeration to encourage Sun Ce to march.

But now,

Xiakou City has not been captured, but it is possible that Deng Mu's plan will lead to losing Chai Sang!

At this moment, Zhou Yu felt like he was being betrayed by that humble disciple. , the shame of being slapped hard!

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yu forced himself to calm down, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. (Zhao Haohao)

"Bo Fu, don't mess up your position, the sky won't fall!"

"If this plan was the work of Deng Mu, I have to say that this person is indeed very cunning and unpredictable.

"But it's a pity that he underestimated Han Yigong's strength and also underestimated the strength of Chaisang City."

"Even if Chai Sang only has less than 5,000 troops left, Huang Zhong wants to succeed in a surprise attack with just over 10,000 troops?"

"He might be a little too arrogant."

A sarcasm flashed across Zhou Yu's eyes, and then he smiled coldly:

"As long as we temporarily withdraw our troops and return to Chaisang, we can easily deal with Huang Zhong's enemy troops."

"After that, he led his army to march west again, and he could still capture Xiakou."

"Deng Mu's strategy only delayed the time for us to capture Xiakou and advance into the hinterland of Jingzhou, but it could not change the final outcome."

Hearing Zhou Yu's analysis, the clouds on Sun Ce's face gradually dissipated.

After thinking for a while, a sneer appeared on Sun Ce's face.

"What Gong Jin said makes sense. It seems we were just giving a false alarm."

"Liu Bei's great effort was just to buy him a few more days to appease people."

"According to Gong Jin's plan, he first went back to the army and killed the old man Huang Zhong, then went back to deal with Huang Zu and defeat Xia Kouhuai!"

At that moment, Sun Ce ordered that 40,000 Jiangdong troops immediately withdraw from the siege of Xiakou and return eastward overnight.

Countless Jiangdong troops retreated from the surrounding areas of Xiakou like an ebbing tide and boarded warships.

Thousands of warships followed suit. The stream flows eastward and sails toward Chaisang in a mighty way.

On the flagship,

Zhou Yu stands at the stern, looking towards Jiangling, his face filled with an innate sense of arrogance.

"Deng Mu, I underestimated you. This game of chess gave you the upper hand."

"But from now on, I, Zhou Yu, will start to get serious, and I will never give you another chance to take advantage of."

"I want to see how you make Kuai Yue fear like a tiger…"
