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

North Shore, Xiakou Camp.

The autumn rain has stopped.

Liu Bei, Deng Mu and other generals had been waiting on the trestle for a long time.

The gongs and drums on the south bank have been noisy for most of the night, and can be clearly heard on the north bank across the river.

The uninformed soldiers were all talking secretly and speculating about what happened on the south bank.

None of our warships left camp, nor did they launch an attack on Jiangdong's army. Why was there such a big movement on the south bank, as if the sky was dark and the earth was dark?

When the soldiers had no idea.

Chen's eyes sharpened, he pointed forward and shouted:

"Lord, the boat is back, a boat is back."

Liu Bei perked up and looked far away.

Under the firelight, he saw more than forty grain ships slowly sailing back to the north bank.

The soldiers on the coast suddenly started talking in an uproar.

Even Liu Bei, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, couldn't help but I took a breath of cold air.

The boat was back, not a single thing was missing.

But the outside of the boat was densely packed with arrows, like hedgehogs, which made people panic when they saw it.

"It seems that Kong Ming is done."

Deng Mu smiled lightly.

The boat docked.

Zhuge Liang got off the boat with a high-spirited look, walked forward, cupped his hands and smiled:

"My lord, I was lucky enough to live up to my fate and borrowed 100,000 arrows from the little overlord."

"The arrows are all here. Please take some, my lord."

As he said that, he turned back and pointed at the"arrow boat" behind him.

Liu Bei came back to his senses, his face suddenly showed joy, and he praised:

"Okay, okay, Kong Ming, you borrowed 100,000 arrows without any effort, what a great achievement!"

"Come on, move your arrows quickly."

The soldiers swarmed forward and began to take the arrows off the boat.

Zhuge Liang did not dare to be arrogant and handed over to Deng Mu:

"Thanks to the master's guidance, the student's plan of borrowing arrows from a straw boat was successful."

"Otherwise, if it hadn't been for Yu Tian's trick, the little bully would have set off the rocket, and not only would Liang never return, but he would also become the laughing stock of the world."

Deng Mu, the teacher, only smiled at the apprentice's grateful compliment.

"Lord, let’s take these 100,000 arrows first"

"When Sun Ce comes to die someday, if we return the gift to him in full, then we will owe nothing to each other."

Deng Mu pointed in the direction of the south bank and said sarcastically.

But Liu Bei's eyes moved, and he heard a different hint from Deng Mu's words.

Sun Ce came to die?

This is so good, the little overlord of Jiangdong, Why did you come to die?

Liu Bei suddenly thought of something and said happily:

"Military Advisor, do you have a clever plan to defeat Sun Ce?"

"My lord, don't be impatient. Mu Material has thought that in a few days, the envoy from the south will come, and it will not be too late to discuss this with your lord in detail."

Deng Mu's answer made Liu Bei become more and more ambiguous and confused.

Why would Sun Ce come to die on his own?

Why would an envoy from the south bank come?

There was no reason for this, and the two unrelated words made all the generals confused. Water.

Even Zhuge Liang had doubts in his eyes and could not figure out what treacherous plan his teacher was planning.

Although Liu Bei was puzzled, he knew that Deng Mu knew him well. He must be confident.

So he suppressed his doubts and stopped asking any more questions. He just continued to stand still and wait patiently.

…

Five days later.

The Chinese military tent on the north bank

"According to detailed information, Sun Ce left with 5,000 troops and horses two days ago."

"It is reported that Taishi Ci, who was entrenched in Yuzhang, gathered Liu Yao's old troops and established himself as the governor of Yuzhang, with the intention of marching eastward to threaten Danyang."

"Sun Ce then handed over the military power of Xiakou to Zhou Yu and led his troops to attack Tai Shici in person."

Zhuge Liang read out the newly received information.

"Sun Ce actually left at this juncture?"

Liu Bei was in high spirits.

The generals also discussed for a while, and they were all surprised by the news.

Sun Ce is the lord of Jiangdong. He is not only the commander-in-chief, but also a very powerful general.

Once Sun Ce leaves, there is no doubt about the combat power of Jiangdong Army. It is necessary to make a big discount, which is naturally beneficial to our side.

"The old man heard that Zhou Yu was too young and had very little experience in the Jiangdong Army. He only relied on Sun Ce's trust and respect to reach his current position."

"Sun Ce handed over the command of an army of tens of thousands to this man. I'm afraid that many people in the Jiangdong army would be dissatisfied."

Veteran Huang Zhong is a veteran after all, and he still values ​​​​such things as seniority. He keenly saw the weakness of Zhou Yu's lack of prestige.

Lao Liu and the other generals all believed that this was good news that was beneficial to them.

"Taishi Ziyi, the tiger general of the world"

"When I rescued Kong Beihai, I was lucky enough to get to know this brave and courageous hero."

"It's a pity that I couldn't prepare a county magistrate at that time, so I didn't dare to recruit Taishi Ziyi shamelessly."

"Unexpectedly, after so many years, Taishi Ziyi actually helped me once unintentionally..."

Old Liu recalled the past and sighed for a long time.

It was obvious from his tone that he had no doubts about Sun Ce's crusade against Taishi Ci..

Taishi Ci was a general under Liu Yao, Taishi of Yangzhou. At Liu Yao's call, he traveled all the way across the sea from Donglai to defect.

After Liu Yao seized territory for Sun Ce, he was defeated and fled to Yuzhang, trying to recruit his old troops to continue the confrontation with Sun Ce.

As a result, Liu Yao died of illness not long after.

This Taishi Ci was a general of Liu Yao. He inherited Liu Yao's men and called himself the governor of Yuzhang. He continued to occupy the southern part of Yuzhang County and refused to surrender to Sun Ce.

According to the normal timeline , Sun Ce should have surrendered Taishi Ci first and eliminated the enemies in Yuzhang before using troops against Jingzhou.

However, because Lao Liu robbed Jingzhou, it seemed that Sun Ce had to enter the game early and had no time to pacify Taishi Ci first.

So now the two armies are in Xia There was a verbal confrontation, and it was difficult to tell the winner for the time being. Sun Ce freed up his hand to deal with Taishi Ci first, which seemed reasonable.

Lao Liu had no doubts, and neither did the other generals.

Only Deng Mu remained silent, with doubts in his eyes. After a while

,

Deng Mu had a sneer in his eyes and murmured:

"I see, Zhou Yu, it seems you have already started digging a hole?…"

"Dig a hole? Liu

Bei's eyes were blank and he asked:"Ziyu, what do you mean by this?" Deng

Mu did not explain, but said:"My lord, I estimate that in the next few days, there will be people from the south crossing the river to surrender to my lord.""

Is there someone crossing the river in the south?

Are you throwing yourself into my arms?

Liu Bei's eyes were darkened, and he could not understand the hidden meaning of Deng Mu's words.

At this moment, Chen arrived at the account

"Lord, there is a man claiming to be Zhu Zhi, who claims to have sneaked from the enemy camp on the south bank and wants to see the Lord!"

Zhu Zhi?

Isn't that Sun Jian's old subordinate, a minister of the Sun family for two generations?

Why did this man suddenly cross the river to ask for a meeting?

Countless doubts arose in Liu Bei's heart, and he turned to Deng Mu with surprised eyes.

As he expected, there were still people on the south bank. The messenger is really here!

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here"

"Lord, we have a chance to defeat Jiangdong Army. Let's meet Zhu Zhi first."

There was an unpredictable smile in Deng Mu's eyes.

Old Liu became more and more confused.

Why is it that Cao Cao is about to arrive? How does this have anything to do with Cao Cao?

What does Zhu Zhi's sudden visit have to do with the defeat of Jiangdong Army? Relationship?

Liu Bei couldn't guess the mystery for a while, so he had to suppress his confusion and asked Zhu Zhi to invite him into the big tent.

After a while, the Sun family minister from two dynasties put on a bamboo hat and entered the tent carefully.

"When I was under Zhu Zhi, I met Liu Jingzhou."

Zhu Zhi took off his bamboo hat and bowed respectfully to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei also treated Zhu Zhi politely and treated him politely in order to serve tea to the spectators.

After saying the polite words, he also drank the tea symbolically. ( If you want to read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Liu Bei didn’t mince words, he got straight to the point and asked:

"Zhu Junli, you are a minister of the Sun family, but now you cross the river to see me, Liu Bei, so mysteriously, you must not just come to ask for a cup of tea."

Zhu Zhi put down his cup and his expression turned solemn.

"Liu Shijun was quick to speak, so Nazhi stopped talking nonsense."

"The reason for this is that Zhou Yu secretly sneaked to the north of the Yangtze River without telling you, and came to secretly envoy you."

"I am here under the orders of General Huang Gai and Huang Gongfu to express my intention to defect to the envoy!"

As soon as he said this,

Liu Bei's tea cup shook slightly, and a little splashed out.

A look of surprise immediately emerged in his eyes.

Did you hear that right?

This Zhu Zhi was actually saying, that Huang Gai wants to surrender him?

Huang Gai is Who?

That was one of the four strong generals under Sun Jian. The three Jiangdong veterans, who were tied with Han Dang and Cheng Pu, were the elders of the Sun family in two dynasties.

Huang Gai's status in the Sun family group even surpassed that of Sun Jing, Sun Fu and others. All the descendants of the Sun family.

Such a veteran general with high moral prestige and high status in Jiangdong actually surrendered to him? [] He actually wanted to abandon Sun Ce?

At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly thought that he was in trouble and heard wrongly!

Or it was the situation in front of him. Zhu Zhi said something wrong.

Except for Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Huang Zhong and other generals present in the tent were all shocked and in disbelief.

Only Deng Mu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he had already understood this. The material is average, not surprising at all

"Zhu Junli, do you think I, Liu Bei, will believe what you say?"

Liu Bei suppressed his suspicion and asked with a frown.

Zhu Zhi did not panic. Instead, he sighed, with a look of indignation and helplessness on his face.

"Liu Shijun's suspicion is also reasonable."

"The old general Gongfu was a minister of the Sun family for two dynasties. He was highly virtuous and respected. It was impossible for him to turn his back on the Sun family."

"But now and then, the Sun family is now headed by Sun Bofu, not Sun Wentai."

"After Sun Bofu took charge of the Sun family, he vigorously promoted many young advisers and generals, especially Zhou Yu, who was favored to the extreme."

"Zhou Yu's achievements and qualifications are far less than those of us, the old subordinates of Mr. Wentai, but with Sun Bofu's favor, his status in Jiangdong seems to be lower than that of one person and above ten thousand people."

"As a result, there are naturally many people in Jiangdong who are dissatisfied with Zhou Yu."

"Zhou Yu made a mistake last time and caused us to lose hundreds of thousands of arrows. Sun Bofu not only did not blame him, but blindly protected him, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many people."

Zhu Zhi's face was full of resentment, and he kept accusing Jiangdong generals of being dissatisfied with Zhou Yu.

After swallowing, he changed the subject.

"A few days ago, Sun Bofu had to personally lead his army to Yuzhang in order to attack Taishi Ci. Unexpectedly, he handed over all the military power of the Xiakou army to Zhou Yu."

"After Zhou Yu took control of the military, the first thing he did was to avenge his private vengeance, and target the old generals and us, the old subordinates of the late father Wentai, in disguise."

"The old general Gongfu was originally a former army general, but he was transferred to escort food and grass."

"The old general was resentful, so he questioned Zhou Yu in public and contradicted him a few times."

"Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu took advantage of the situation and ordered forty military sticks to be used on the old general to establish his authority!"

"The old general Gongfu was a veteran of the Sun family from two dynasties. Being humiliated like this by Zhou Yu could be described as a loss of face!"

"The old general naturally hated Zhou Yu very much, and was even more disheartened by Sun Ce's favoring Zhou Yu, so he decided to submit to Liu Shijun in anger!"

"Zhi and General Gongfu were both subordinates of Wentai, and they had a good relationship with each other, but they were both dissatisfied with Zhou Yu."

"So we hit it off immediately, and the old general asked me to come to the north bank to express my intention to join Liu Shijun."

"The old general Gongfu also said that he would take advantage of the opportunity to protect the food supply, steal all the Jiangdong army's food and grass, and transport it to the north bank as a gift to Ambassador Liu!"

Zhu Zhi is also very eloquent, and he explained the cause and effect of the whole matter to Liu Bei in a very emotional and emotional manner. This reasonable explanation naturally succeeded in convincing Liu Bei, and the doubts in his eyes gradually faded away.

Old Liu Fist Gradually he tightened his grip, and his eyes gradually filled with overjoyed expressions.

This is really a happy event from heaven!

As the saying goes, before the troops move, the food and grass go first. If Huang Gai can steal the Jiangdong Army's food and grass to surrender, it will undoubtedly be a blow to the Jiangdong Army's military morale. Severe damage.

What's more, Huang Gai is no more respected than other generals in the Jiangdong Army, and his influence is immeasurable.

For such a heavyweight general to abandon Sun Ce and surrender, it is a heavy blow to the morale of the Jiangdong Army!

This is God Helping him…

"I see! Liu

Bei suppressed his surprise and said seriously:

"Please tell me, Mr. General, that I, Liu Bei, have always been thirsty for talents. I would like to treat you with courtesy."

"If he can come and surrender, I, Liu Bei, will step on my heels to welcome him!"

Such a great gift fell in front of me. How could Lao Liu not pick it up? Naturally, he happily accepted it. All the generals in the tent were excited and secretly delighted, and they obviously knew the meaning of Huang Gai's gift.

Only Zhuge Liang was surprised. There was a bit of suspicion in his eyes.

But Deng Mu, on the other hand, was ruthless from beginning to end, just watching Zhu Zhi's emotional performance with cold eyes.

"Lord, Master, Liang still has some doubts about Huang Gongfu’s surrender."

"Liang wanted to ask this Zhu Junli."

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but say.

Zhu Zhi raised his head and looked at Zhuge Liang. Seeing that he was a young man, he felt a little disapproving.

"I don’t know what this guy’s name is?"

Zhu Zhi asked with some contempt.

"This son's name is Zhuge Liang, and he is the disciple of Deng Ziyu, the military adviser."

"The plan of borrowing arrows from a straw boat in the previous chapter was his handiwork."

Liu Bei introduced with a proud look on his face. Zhu Zhi was shocked, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes turned anxiously to Deng Mu.

Deng Mu had already made some scheming plans, causing them to suffer several big losses.

Now any young student of Deng Mu can use the ingenious strategy of borrowing arrows from a straw boat to play Zhou Yu like a clown?

Zhu Zhi was shocked and couldn't help but become nervous, fearing that Deng Mu would see the flaw

"He turned out to be a disciple of Military Advisor Deng. As expected, famous teachers produce great disciples, and his reputation is well-deserved. Zhu

Zhi was busy with a smile on his face and flattered him.

Zhuge Liang, however, looked calm and asked with suspicion:

"Mr. Zhu kept saying,"Then Huang Gongfu is dissatisfied with Zhou Yu and wants to seek refuge with my lord?""

"These are just your one-sided words. I would like to ask, how can you prove that Huang Gai is not faking surrender?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bei seemed to be reminded and couldn't help but become vigilant.

Zhu Zhi seemed to have been prepared for this question, and immediately said calmly:

"When General Gongfu was scolded by Zhou Yu, it was a public humiliation in front of all the soldiers."

"Everyone witnessed this incident with their own eyes, so Liu Shijun just sent his agents to Nan'an to investigate."

Zhuge Liang's question was dismissed, and he had nothing to say.

The vigilance in Old Liu's eyes also disappeared, and he was convinced of Huang Gai's surrender.

At that time, Old Liu gave the order not to hold a banquet, but to entertain him well. Liu Bei met with Zhu Zhi and discussed some details of Huang Gai's coming.

It was almost late at night, and the meeting ended in a pleasant atmosphere.

Liu Bei personally put Zhu Zhi on the ship and watched him sail away from the camp, heading towards Heading to the south bank

"Ziyu, you are really a god, and you actually expected that someone from Jiangdong would secretly submit to you!"

"Moreover, it was Huang Gai, a veteran of the Sun family from two dynasties!"

"Huang Gai not only stole the Jiangdong army's food and grass, but also severely weakened the enemy's morale. We will have a chance to defeat Zhou Yu and win this battle."

Old Liu was very excited and looked at Deng Mu with a smile in admiration.

"It turned out that the master had expected that Zhou Yu would not be able to convince the crowd, and that some generals from Jiangdong would be dissatisfied and come to surrender to the lord."

"Master's insight into people's hearts has taught me a lot."

Zhuge Liang was also amazed.

"Lord, Kong Ming, do you really think that Huang Gai is here to surrender sincerely?"

Deng Mu sneered and asked in a playful tone.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked stunned at the same time.
