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

It is expected that Zhou Yu will send people to pretend to surrender again!

He also expected that those who pretended to surrender would resort to iron ropes and boats!

To be able to predict things as if they were divine, isn't this equivalent to having your eyes opened?

At this time, Deng Mu was a little more unfathomable in Liu Bei's heart.

Deng Mu naturally knew Old Liu's current mood, so he coughed a few times and pretended to be surprised:

"My lord, Kuai Yidu's iron chain and boat is indeed a brilliant move. Liu

Bei then came back to his senses and re-examined Kuai Yue's plan.

A picture appeared in front of him: a fleet formation composed of dozens of battleships, like a moving castle, appeared majestically on the river.

Those of his The dry soldiers who were not accustomed to wind and waves directly boarded the boat formation and became water soldiers.

As if they were walking on the flat ground, their horses galloped, and they fired arrows at will...

Jiangdong's navy was defeated and defeated by his superiority of huge ships and troops. Escape!

Liu Bei suddenly realized that regardless of whether Kuai Yue was feigning surrender or not, this plan of connecting boats was an excellent way to provide help in times of need.

"What the military advisor said is absolutely true!"

"This iron chain and boat has indeed made up for the shortcomings of our army that is not used to water warfare!"

"Kuai Yidu, you really helped me solve a big problem!"

Liu Bei was so impressed.

A cold and sly smile appeared on the corner of Kuai Yue's lips.

Then he pretended to be frightened and quickly cupped his hands and said:

"With this strategy, if it can help the lord repel Jiangdong's army, it will make up for some of the mistakes."

While Kuai Yue lowered his head, Liu Bei turned to look at Deng Mu.

Deng Mu nodded slightly, indicating that he was ready to continue acting.

Liu Bei understood, and stood up and stepped forward to help Kuai Yue up.

"The past is over, there’s no need to mention it anymore"

"Xingdu, since you sincerely submit, I will naturally welcome you."

"Let's work together to defeat Zhou Yu!"

This statement seemed to show that he no longer had any doubts about him and fully accepted his surrender.

Kuai Yue was relieved, and immediately became impassioned and expressed his sincerity.

After Liu Bei said a few more words of comfort, he asked Chen Daohao to settle down with Kuai. cross

"Military advisor, do you think that Kuai Yue really pretended to surrender?"

As soon as Kuai Yue walked away, Liu Bei asked Deng Mu on the back.

Obviously, although Old Liu at this time had mixed the skills of domineering, he still practiced the kingly way at the root and paid attention to persuading people with virtue.

Kuai Yue's excellent acting skills , coupled with the offer of this"wonderful strategy", Lao Liu was naturally moved.

However, Lao Liu was still cautious and did not fully believe it, so he asked Deng Mu for his opinion.

"Kong Ming, do you think that Kuai Yue’s surrender is somewhat true?"

Deng Mu was not in a hurry to answer, but took the opportunity to test his own student.

"Liang thought that there was no need to pay attention to those high-sounding and awe-inspiring words spoken by Kuai Yue."

"After the fall of Jiangling City, most of the Kuai family had no time to escape, and they all fell into the hands of the lord."

"In order to save the family, Kuai Yueruo was forced to abandon Liu Cong and turn against his lord. Liang thought it was reasonable."

"As for the iron chain and boat strategy he proposed, it indeed helped us solve the weakness of the soldiers who were not accustomed to wind and waves."

"However, Liang always felt that something was wrong, but for a moment, he couldn't figure it out."

Zhuge Liang is indeed a Crouching Dragon, and he has already realized that there is something wrong with this iron chain and boat plan.

Unfortunately, the fire is not strong enough, and he still cannot really see what is buried in it.

"I chose such a seemingly reasonable person to pretend to surrender my lord."

"That Koto Mishurou really put in a lot of effort."

Deng Mu smiled coldly, and his words and expressions were obviously sarcastic.

Liu Bei was shocked and said hurriedly:"Then Yi Ziyu thinks that Kuai Yue, like Zhu Zhi, was sent by Zhou Yu to pretend to surrender?"

Deng Mu stopped beating around the bush and said simply:

"Yes, Kuai Yue did come to pretend to surrender."

"He was ordered by Zhou Yu to come and offer his lord a plan to connect the boat with the iron rope!"

Old Liu's eyes were confused.

Deng Mu concluded that Kuai Yue was pretending to surrender. Adhering to the principle of obeying Deng Mu's words, Old Liu naturally believed in Deng Mu's judgment.

But what Old Liu didn't understand was why Zhou Yu wanted Kuai Yue to surrender. This plan of connecting a boat with an iron chain?

Didn't this obviously help him solve a big problem?

Did Zhou Yu eat enough to hold on?

"Master, could it be that there is some mystery in this chain of iron ropes that would be detrimental to our army?"

Zhuge Liang reacted quickly and saw the clues.

Liu Bei was startled. After thinking about it carefully, he really couldn't think of any disadvantages of this chain-linked boat.

"This iron rope and boat is not a wonderful method. Since it is so useful, the ancients have already used it, so why go to the thankless effort of training the navy?"

"This warship seems to allow dry soldiers to easily board the ship and fight without fear of wind and waves."

"But has your lord considered that it is easy to connect warships but difficult to untie them?"

"If Zhou Yu launches a fire attack and the fire ship rushes towards us, do we still have time to untie the iron rope and let the war ship scatter to avoid it?"

Deng Mu stopped laying the groundwork and finally pointed out the key point.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were shocked and suddenly woke up.

"That’s it, that’s it!"

"Zhou Yu's plan of connecting the boats with iron ropes turned out to be to connect my warships so that they could not be separated in time!"

"This plan is really extremely vicious. Fortunately, you, the military advisor, saw through it, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

Lao Liu suddenly woke up, his face full of shock, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Zhuge Liang also realized the truth and couldn't help but marveled:

"Mr. Liang felt that something was wrong with this Lian Zhou strategy, but he could never figure out what was wrong."

"When the master said this, Liang suddenly realized"

"The master's wisdom is beyond the reach of students, and they still have a lot to learn. Deng

Mu smiled and said:

"Lord, Zhou Yu has come up with his last plan, let’s continue to act with him"

"Please give the order, my lord, and let us build this chain-linked boat."

Liu Bei couldn't help but be stunned.

Since he knew that the iron rope and the boat were a trap set by Zhou Yu, why did he still adopt it?

Isn't it better to jump into it even though he knew there was a trap...

Old Liu didn't understand, but he knew that Deng Mu was doing this There must be a profound meaning in this move, but I just couldn't understand it. I didn't ask any more questions at the moment, and just acted according to what Deng Mu said.

So with an order, hundreds of blacksmiths were summoned, working day and night to build iron locks, and began to connect the boats with iron ropes.

…

Five days later.

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, Jiangdong Shuiying.

Zhou Yu stood on the river beach with his hands behind his hands, looking at the north bank with a sneer.

At this time, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, the field of vision is clear, and the scene on the other side is clearly visible.

He could clearly see that more than ten giant ships like castles had appeared in the water camp on the north bank.

"Gong Jin, Kuai Yue succeeded in feigning surrender."

"Liu Bei's big-eared thief fell into the trap and locked up all his warships!"

Huang Gai, who was leaning on crutches, pointed at the North Shore Road with excitement on his face.

Zhou Yu sneered silently, with a strategizing and confident expression on his eyebrows.

Huang Gai threw the crutches away and handed over his hand with emotion:

"Gong Jin, I think it won’t take a few days, then Liu Da’er will connect all the warships"

"Just give the order, and I will burn Liu Bei's warships with fire!"

At this time, the Jiangdong veteran was eager to try and start the war immediately.

But Zhou Yu raised his hand and said calmly:

"Old general, don't be anxious, everything is ready, we still owe an east wind"

"When the east wind blows, it will not be too late to attack with fire."

Dongfeng?

Huang Gai was stunned for a moment and couldn't react.

"Old General, you are proficient in water warfare, don’t you know that if you want to use fire to attack, you must use the power of wind!"

"To launch a fire attack against the enemies on the north bank, we must have the help of the southeast wind. Otherwise, if the north wind blows and the fire ship reverses, we will burn ourselves! Zhou

Yu explained the reason and pointed north:

"Now is the mid-winter season, with mostly northwest winds. Occasionally when the weather gets warmer, there will be a southeasterly wind."

"Therefore, we must be patient and wait for a southeasterly wind before launching a fire attack."

Huang Gai suddenly realized this, and couldn't help but look ashamed, and laughed at himself: (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, that I neglected such an important matter as the direction of the wind. Gongjin, you were the one who thought it through."

Zhou Yu once again stood with his hands behind his hands, looking towards the other side with a sneer.

"Send the order, the whole army is ready"

"Let's just sit and wait for a southeasterly wind to help us burn Xiakou, burning Liu Bei without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"

…

Another seven days have passed.

For seven days, Liu Bei still stood still and built an iron chain boat according to Deng Mu's instructions.

Hundreds of buildings, ships, and battleships are all connected by iron cables, forming nearly forty giant ships.

Tens of thousands of infantrymen boarded this huge ship, and were surprised to find that they could walk on the ground as if they were on the ground.

Although there were strong winds and waves on the river, the giant ship underfoot was still as stable as flat ground.

The shortcomings of northerners not being accustomed to wind and waves seem to have been made up for.

Liu Jun's officers and men are all greatly boosted in military morale.

"My lord, this chain-link boat is ready. Our infantry can move directly onto the boat and become water pawns."

"What are we waiting for? Let’s attack in one go and defeat Zhou Yu’s 40,000-strong army!"

Veteran Huang Zhong is excited and can't wait to fight.[]

"My lord, what the veteran general Sheng of the Han Dynasty said makes sense."

"We have formed the boat formation for several days, but the lord has been holding back for a long time. He is afraid that Zhou Yu will think of a countermeasure."

"The general will think that we should take advantage of his unpreparedness and fight quickly!"

Wei Yan also generously asked for a fight.

"Lord, just give the order"

"This time, I, Gan Ning, am absolutely sure of winning and defeating the Jiangdong navy!"

Gan Ning was also a hundred times more confident and had no fear of the powerful Jiangdong navy.

The generals didn't know the mystery, and naturally they didn't know why Liu Bei stood still.

Liu Bei knew that standing still was waiting for Zhou Yu to fall into a trap, but he couldn't understand what he was doing. The iron chain and the boat were completed, but why didn't Zhou Yu come and launch the fire attack?

"Military advisor, tell me, what is Zhou Yu waiting for? Why hasn't he taken action yet?"

"Could it be that he noticed something?"

Deng Mu said calmly:

"Zhou Yu stood still because he was waiting for an opportunity."

Timing?

Liu Bei's eyes flickered, unable to comprehend.

All Zhou Yu's strategies have been successfully implemented and everything is ready. What more timing is needed?

Just make Huang Gai feign surrender and launch a fire attack.

"..Ziyu, I don't quite understand this. What time will Zhou Yu wait for?"

Old Liu had no choice but to continue asking. Just when Deng Mu was about to answer, suddenly, a gust of river wind blew in his face. Flags that were originally hanging down in front of him began to sway. The river wind was strong!

The wind came from the south!

Deng Mu smiled.

He He raised his hand and pointed at the fluttering flag and said:

"Lord, the time for Zhou Yu to wait has come"

"The southeast wind picked up."

Liu Bei raised his head and looked at the flying flags with a confused look on his face.

"If you want to attack with fire, you must take advantage of the wind"

"This wind is naturally a tailwind. If it were a headwind, wouldn't it burn down our own warship?"

"In the middle of winter, the wind is mostly from the northwest, but occasionally there is the southeast wind."

"So Zhou Yu knew that we were already connected, but he still didn't take action. He just wanted to wait for a southeasterly wind."

"Now that he has finally waited for this southeasterly wind, does Zhou Yu dare to miss it?"

At the moment of the war, Deng Mu no longer whetted Old Liu's appetite, but directly pointed out the mystery.

Liu Bei suddenly understood and couldn't help but slap his leg:

"That's right, why didn't I think that using fire to attack requires the help of wind power?"

"Whether it's a water battle with a fire attack or a land battle with a fire attack, this is the same principle!"

"Got it, I finally got it!"

The generals on the left and right were confused and couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about. They didn't understand anything about the fire attack or the southeast wind.

"The time has come, Huang Gai will definitely come down tonight"

"The lord summoned all the generals and prepared for the decisive battle."

"Then kill Kuai Yue and kill my battle flag!"

Deng Mu raised his hands and spoke, with murderous intent already in his eyes.

Liu Bei put away his joy, his expression turned grim, and he shouted:

"After sending the order, the generals will discuss matters in the tent immediately."

"Bring Kuai Yue and escort him here!"

The order was passed down.

Half an hour later,

Liu Bei was already wearing heavy armor, holding a sword in his hand, and was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army.

Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, Gan Ning and other friends, They lined up solemnly.

The curtain was raised.

Kuai Yue walked into the tent with a smile on his face.

Originally, he thought that Liu Bei had summoned him and wanted to hold a banquet to appease him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the tent, he bumped into this Waiting for the chilling atmosphere.

Kuai Yue could not help but tremble in his heart, and an uneasy premonition came over his heart.

After calming down for a while, Kuai Yue smiled and cupped his hands:

"The more I pay my respects to my lord, I wonder if the lord has summoned Yue to come forward and what are his instructions?"

Liu Bei's eyebrows sank, he waved his hand and shouted:

"Tie this thief who pretended to surrender to me!"

Chen Da got the order and took action himself, and the general captured Kuai Yue.

Such a drastic change instantly shocked Kuai Yue.

When he reacted, he had been tied down and the knife was placed on his neck.

"Lord, what do you mean?"

Kuai Yue came back to his senses and shouted in panic and confusion.

"Huang Gai first used a trick to deceive me, and then asked Zhu Zhi to come to the north bank to fake the winter."

"Then Zhou Yu asked you, a traitor, to pretend to surrender, pretending to offer some plan to help me solve the problem of soldiers not accustomed to wind and waves."

"What you actually want is for me to connect the warships together so that you won’t have time to evade the fireships."

"Zhou Yu ordered Huang Gai to borrow a fake grain ship to return this evening, and took the opportunity to launch a fire attack. When my warships were burned, I could not order the warships to disperse in time."

"Only Zhou Yu can burn my warships and flood and drought camps to ashes with just one fire."

"His 40,000 troops then marched to the north bank, defeated my 50,000 troops in one fell swoop, and captured Xiakou!"

"Kuai Yue, do you think you and Zhou Yu's wishful thinking can be hidden from the eyes of our military advisor?"

There is no need to act anymore.

Liu Bei's voice was like thunder, exposing all their plots.

Kuai Yue staggered half a step back, and his face was instantly distorted into endless shock and horror.
