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

Liu Bei immediately understood that the meaning of Deng Mu's words was obviously to question Huang Gai's sincerity in coming to surrender.

If it’s not a real surrender, then it’s a fake surrender?

"Just now, Kong Ming also questioned, if it was just Zhu Zhi’s words, I couldn’t easily believe that Huang Gai wanted to surrender me."

"But Zhu Zhi said that Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai with forty military sticks in public, and countless people from Jiangdong Army witnessed it."

"In this case, as long as we send detailed work to verify it, won't we be able to prove that Huang Gai surrendered sincerely?"

Liu Bei said this.

Obviously he has fallen into a fixed mindset: as long as Huang Gai is beaten, it must be a true surrender, and it is impossible to pretend to surrender.

"Why did the lord conclude that as long as Huang Gai was beaten with a military stick by Zhou Yu, then his surrender would be sincere?"

Deng Mu asked with a sneer.

Old Liu was stunned again.

Huang Gai was already quite old. How could he lose half his life if these dozens of military sticks were used?

After being so wronged, he was so angry that Isn't it perfectly reasonable to switch sides and surrender?

"Ziyu, I’m a little confused by your question."

"It makes sense no matter how you look at it, Huang Gai was beaten by a military stick and humiliated, so he surrendered in anger."

Liu Bei looked a little helpless.

Deng Mu didn't expose it and turned to Zhuge Liang:

"Kong Ming, do you also believe that if Huang Gai received a military stick, he would definitely surrender?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed, and he was silent, his mind quickly chewing every word of his teacher.

Suddenly his heart was shocked, and he realized something

"Could it be that Master is guessing that Zhou Yu's beating of Huang Gai was just a scene performed by the two of them for us, just to make us believe in Huang Gai's coming?"

Zhuge Liang expressed his understanding.

Deng Mu smiled, with a bit of approval on his face. Wolong is worthy of being Wolong, and his qualifications are still there. After a little prodding by himself, he really understood"zero three three". Deng Mu smiled.

Mu Bian nodded slightly and said:

"Therefore, when Zhou Yu hits Huang Gai, one of them is willing to hit and the other is willing to suffer."

"The name of this big play is called The Bitter Meat Scheme!"

After laying the groundwork, Deng Mu finally revealed the truth.

"A bitter plot?"

Liu Bei had a strange look on his face, his thoughts were racing, and he suddenly turned a corner.

"According to what the military advisor said, Huang Gai was not humiliated by Zhou Yu, but was willing to suffer the physical pain?"

"Only by doing this can he prove his sincerity in surrendering and deceive us seamlessly?"

Deng Mu nodded slightly.

Although old Liu is not as smart as Zhuge Liang, he has made great progress recently, and his enlightenment was only half a beat slower than Zhuge Liang.

"Junior brother, there is still something unclear about the student."

"They spent a lot of effort, even risking half of Huang Gai's life, to implement this false surrender plan. What was their motive?"

"Is it just to allow Huang Gai to sneak into our army, and when the time comes, the inside and outside should join forces to attack our camp on the north bank?"

"Even if the lord believed that Huang Gai would surrender and neglected to take precautions against him, if Zhou Yu wanted to rely solely on Huang Gai as an internal response to attack my camp, I'm afraid he wouldn't have that much of a chance of winning."

Zhuge Liang was thinking carefully and immediately discovered a new loophole.

Liu Bei was also confused and looked at Deng Mu blankly.

"Kong Ming, it’s good that you can think of this"

"Huang Gai made such a big sacrifice, his plan must be to defeat our army in one fell swoop"

"Therefore, his motive is naturally not just to gain the Lord's trust so that he can infiltrate our army. It should be as simple as this."

Deng Mu first agreed with Zhuge Liang's doubts, then grabbed the wooden stick and gently stirred the charcoal fire in the furnace.

"Huang Gai pretended to surrender with the bitter meat plan, which was to pave the way for the subsequent fire attack plan!"

Fire attack plan!

Deng Mu exposed Zhou Yu's ultimate purpose.

In fact, his judgment was not simply based on historical foresight.

If you blindly rely on historical memory, you are suspected of trying to find a sword.

His The judgment is more about the strength of the enemy sides, the time and place of the battlefield, and the character of the enemy commander...

Various war factors, after comprehensive consideration, we can reach this inference.

In the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu and Cao Cao were separated from the north and the south by the river. Confrontation.

Now in the Battle of Xiakou, Zhou Yu and Lao Liu are also facing each other across the river. In the Battle of Chibi, the Sun-Liu coalition had the advantage of the navy, and Cao Cao had the advantage of the infantry.

But today, the Jiangdong Army also has the advantage of the navy. The infantry is weak, but Lao Liu's infantry is strong but the navy is weak.

At that time, Cao Cao had already occupied Jingzhou and was fighting on his home turf, so he was not afraid of fighting. Today, Lao Liu also has Jingzhou and is not afraid of confrontation across the river. That's it. Continue to consume.

So for Zhou Yu, when fighting in an away game and the supply of food and grass is inconvenient, a quick victory is the wisest choice.

On this river, if you want a quick victory, fire attack is the only tactic that can make the final decision.

Since we want to attack with fire, we must find ways to successfully approach the north bank and launch the fire ship when Lao Liu is unprepared.

If we work backwards, we can only use the false surrender strategy.

And if we want the false surrender strategy not to be suspected, then naturally They can only implement the bitter meat strategy and sacrifice half of their lives in exchange for Lao Liu's belief.

This series of strategies, interlocking with each other, is equivalent to a set meal. They must be packaged in order to ensure the final fire attack. Success.

This was the basis for Deng Mu to assume that Zhu Zhi was here to pretend to surrender as soon as he appeared.

"The fire attack strategy is indeed a brilliant plan to decide the outcome in one battle."

"But what is the connection between Huang Gai's false surrender and the fire attack plan?"

"Master, I forgive my students for being stupid and failing to understand the mystery."

Zhuge Liang hadn't fully figured it out yet, so he couldn't figure out the whole process.

He couldn't figure it out, and Lao Liu naturally couldn't figure it out.

So he asked again with a puzzled look on his face:

"Military advisor, since you suspected that Huang Gai was faking his surrender, why didn't you expose his plot when Zhu Zhi was here just now, and instead let Bei accept their surrender? Deng

Mu smiled and asked:

"Mu said before that Zhou Yu and the others would come looking for death themselves."

"If I expose it in public, Zhou Yu's play will not be able to continue. How can we go along with the tide and defeat Zhou Yu's 40,000 army?"

Destroyed Zhou Yu's 40,000-strong army!

Old Liu was still confused about the previous words, but this sentence alone was enough to make the teacher excited.

"Military advisor, what is your ingenious plan to defeat Zhou Yu?"

Old Liu became energetic and asked impatiently.

Deng Mu no longer whetted Old Liu's appetite, so he revealed all his plans.

"Huang Gai used a trick to fake a surrender in order to make us unprepared, and under the guise of stealing grain, he successfully brought the grain ship close to our water camp."

"The grain ship is nominally loaded with grain and grass, but in reality it will be full of flammable materials such as kerosene, salt, and wood."

"Once he gets close enough to our water camp, Huang Gai will definitely set fire to the grain ship and crash into the water camp with the fire ship."

"By that time, our warships will not be able to disperse in time, and they will be burned down in an instant, and the flood and drought camps will not be able to escape."

"With this fire, the naval army was annihilated. The morale of the army must be in chaos and it would collapse without a fight."

"Zhou Yu will lead 40,000 naval troops, take advantage of the situation to attack the north bank, annihilate our 50,000-strong army in one fell swoop, and capture Xiakou!"

"This is Zhou Yu's overall plan!"

Zhuge Liang suddenly realized what was the connection between Huang Gai's false surrender and Zhou Yu's fire attack.

"Such an interlocking and seamless strategy is truly ingenious!"

"That Zhou Lang could come up with such a clever plan is really extraordinary."

"It's just such a wonderful plan, but it still can't be hidden from the eyes of the master. The master is really a god..."

Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart, and looked at Deng Mu's eyes, which made him even more admirable.

And Deng Mu had already deduced this. Lao Liu finally understood the details and couldn't help but take a deep breath and break into a cold sweat.

"If not a military strategist, who could see through this interlocking strategy?"

"If Zhou Yu's plan was successful, wouldn't all the tens of thousands of soldiers in Beihe be burned by him? Liu

Bei sighed with lingering fear.

Deng Mu lowered his voice and continued:

"Now that we have seen through Zhou Yu's moves, the next thing will be easy, let's just follow the plan..." the strategy was said in a pretentious manner.

"What a great strategy!"

"Okay, let's use Ziyu's plan, we'll wait for Zhou Yu to come and die with 40,000 Jiangdong troops!"

…

South Bank, Jiangdong Military Camp.

In a certain military tent.

The doctor is exchanging the yellow lid for gold and creating medicine.

Even a young and strong man would lose half his life after receiving these forty sticks, let alone a veteran like Huang Gai.

I saw that his back was torn and bloody, and it looked horrifying. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The curtain was raised.

Zhou Yu took Zhu Zhi and Lu Su into the tent.

When the doctor saw Zhou Yu arriving, he hurriedly wanted to greet him.

Zhou Yu, however, signaled the doctor to be silent, suggesting that he should retreat and apply medicine to Huang Gai himself.

The doctor's interest has faded away.

Zhou Yu knelt down in front of the yellow-covered couch and carefully applied gold-changing medicine to the veteran.

After the medicine was changed and the bandage was re-bandaged, Zhou Yu took a long breath.

Huang Gai, who had been enduring the pain, was relieved and collapsed on the couch.

When he turned around tremblingly, he found that the person who applied the medicine to him was actually Zhou Yu.

"Gong Jin? You...you actually applied medicine to me?"

Huang Gai looked flattered.

Zhou Yu smiled faintly:"The reason for the Duke's overthrow of the old general was Bo Fu. He suffered so much for Jiangdong. I personally applied the medicine to the old general. That was my duty."

Huang Gai was moved in his heart and wanted to struggle to sit up and say thanks.

"The old general's injury has not healed yet, so lie down quickly and don't get up."

Zhou Yu held Huang Gai down with concern.[]

But Huang Gai smiled boldly:"I followed Mr. Wentai to lick the blood with the knife tip. I have received countless knives on my body. This little skin injury is nothing. Don't worry, Gongjin." Zhou Yu was respectful and complimented. :

"The old general is really strong and strong. No one in Jiangdong can match him."

"If Liu Bei can be defeated in this battle, the veteran general will be the first to contribute.0"

"In the future, Bo Fu will create the foundation of the Sun family. Old General, your righteous deeds today will surely go down in history and be passed down to future generations!"

Huang Gai was so excited when he heard the flattery and the high hat, he couldn't help laughing, as if the wounds on his body no longer hurt.

"I, Huang Gai, don’t care about the names that go down in history or the ministers who made the most contributions."

"As long as I can kill Liu Bei for Bo Fu and capture Jingzhou, I, Huang Gai, will have no choice but to fight against all odds!"

After Huang Gai laughed, he made another generous and selfless statement.

Suddenly,

Huang Gai discovered that Zhu Zhi was also there, and he hurriedly asked:

"Jun Li, didn't you go to the north bank to surrender? Why are you here? Zhu

Zhi smiled, cupped his hands and said:

"Old general, the governor's trick is unparalleled, and he has already deceived Liu Bei."

"Even the so-called scheming Deng Mu was deceived by the governor's clever plan."

"Their chief ministers have no doubts about your false surrender, old general."

Hearing the good news,

Huang Gai was immediately overjoyed. He didn't care about his injuries and struggled to sit up.

"Gong Jin, Gong Jin, Bo Fu is indeed right, you are really the reincarnation of Zhang Liang!"

"Bo Fu can get your help, it is destiny, so why worry about not succeeding in his hegemony!"

Huang Gai was so excited that he was full of praise for Zhou Yu.

This veteran of the Sun family was completely convinced of him at this moment.

Zhou Yu smiled without saying a word, with a hint of secret pride at the corner of his mouth.

"So Deng Mu had a plan, he had really been deceived before, and he didn't have the slightest suspicion?"

Lu Su couldn't help but ask.

From the beginning to the end, he was extremely afraid of Deng Mu.

"Zijing, you are right to be worried."

"Deng Mu had a student named Zhuge Liang. He did question it at that time, wondering whether the old general Gong Fu had really faked his surrender."

"Zhuge Liang's doubts should also represent what Deng Mu meant."

"Fortunately, the governor had anticipated this and used this cruel trick in advance."

"So I replied at that time and asked them to send agents to the south bank to verify whether the old general had been publicly reprimanded by the governor."

"As soon as he said this, Zhuge Liang had nothing to say.Suspicion is dispelled"

"Deng Mu didn't say anything from beginning to end. I believe he must have been deceived by the governor's plan."

Zhu Zhi explained the situation at that time.

Huang Gai felt relieved and admired Zhou Yu's foresight again.

"Zhuge Liang, what about Deng Mu’s students?"

"Who is this person?"

Zhou Yu became interested in this unfamiliar name.

"Back to the governor, this Zhuge Liang is just a fifteen-year-old boy"

"I heard that his background was not as good as that of Deng Mu. He was a villager in the suburbs of Xiangyang."

"For some reason, Deng Mu actually accepted this man as his disciple."

"According to what Deng Mu himself said, the previous straw boat borrowed arrows were written by this person."

Zhu Zhi told the news he had inquired about.

Hearing that Zhuge Liang was just a village man, Zhou Yu's expression was a little disapproving at first.

But when he heard that it was Zhuge Liang who borrowed arrows from a straw boat and played a trick on him, he suddenly became furious. Discoloration

"That deception was not done by Deng Mu, but was actually done by his students?"

"Is this student just a fifteen-year-old boy, or a country man?"

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with disbelief.

The next moment, his eyes were filled with anger.

It's just that he was plotted by Deng Mu. What's wrong with being plotted by Deng Mu's students?

That student was still fifteen years old A young boy!

A country man who farms the land!

Zhou Yu looks like he is humiliated and sullen.

"A man from a poor family and a country man, the master and the disciple are a perfect match."

Zhou Yu suppressed his anger and sneered sarcastically.

"The two of them, Pastor Deng and his disciples, still failed to see through your plan, Gongjin!"

"It can be seen from this that this Deng Mu is no match for Gong Jin after all."

Huang Gai immediately complimented Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu sneered silently, and the word"confidence" was clearly written on his face.

So everyone was extremely optimistic, and seemed to have determined that this battle would be won.

At this moment.

Lu Su But suddenly he thought of something and reminded him:

"Gong Jin, your plan can certainly deceive Liu Bei and Deng Mu, allowing the old general Gong Fu to successfully reach the enemy camp and use the fire ship."

"But Liu Bei's warships are not dead after all. If he sees the fire ship attacking, he will immediately order the warship to evade."

"If this is the case, the most we can do is burn his water camp, but we cannot burn his warships."

"In this way, Liu Bei will be able to use his navy to prevent my follow-up army from attacking the north bank."

"Once we fail to attack the north bank in time, giving Liu Bei a chance to stabilize his army's morale, Gongjin, your goal of annihilating his 50,000-strong army will be in vain."

Zhou Yu suddenly changed color.
