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

"When Cao Cao did not increase his troops the previous time, his military advisor advised me to calm down and not to act rashly."

"Now, when Cao Cao had more than 10,000 troops and his strength was greatly increased, his military advisor said that it was time to attack."

"Military advisor, Shu Yu is stupid and really doesn't understand."

Guan Yu's red face was full of confusion.

The generals also looked at a loss, and they all nodded in agreement.

But Deng Mu took his time and asked with a smile:

"Why did General Yunchang conclude that Cao Cao would send more troops to Wancheng Camp?"

Guan Yu was stunned again.

Every day thousands of Cao's troops came from the north and entered Cao's camp. Isn't this an obvious increase in troops?

"Military advisor, I haven’t grown old yet, but I can clearly see how many reinforcements Cao Jun brings into the camp every day."

"Look up and see, isn't there a group of Cao's troops entering the camp right now?"

Guan Yu pointed at the billowing dust mist north of Cao Ying and said

"What you see on the surface may not be believable. Maybe it is just Cao Cao's cover-up?"

"In fact, if we want to judge whether Cao Cao has increased his troops, we only need to count the number of smokes above Cao Cao's camp and it will be clear at a glance."

Deng Mu's tone had a different meaning, and he also pointed his finger at Cao Ying.

Only then did Guan Yu understand. It turned out that Deng Mu was just counting the smoke pillars over Cao Ying.

After understanding this, Guan Yu and the generals became even more confused. Got it

"Commander Deng, why can you tell whether Cao Cao is sending more troops by counting the smoke pillars?"

The young military general next to Guan Yu asked with puzzled eyes.

That young general was none other than Guan Yu's adopted son Guan Ping.

"People need to eat"

"To eat, you need to make fire. If there are more people, make more fires. If there are less people, make fewer fires."

"When there is a fire, smoke naturally rises to the sky. Each column of smoke represents a pot."

"If Cao Cao continues to increase his troops and has more mouths to eat, the amount of smoke will naturally increase."

"But in recent days, according to my calculations, the amount of cooking smoke over Cao Ying, instead of increasing, has actually decreased by nearly 50%."

"This shows what?"

"This shows that instead of increasing his troops, Cao Cao secretly reduced his troops!"

"I expect that there are only five thousand soldiers and horses in Cao Cao's camp, and only the direct lineage troops that Cao Cao personally cut off are left!"

Deng Mu didn't mince words and laid the groundwork. After some analysis and judgment, he revealed the mystery.

Everyone suddenly became enlightened and finally woke up.

"The military advisor was so clever that he was able to calculate the number of Cao's troops from the smoke!"

Guan Yu clicked his tongue and praised, but he didn't understand:

"But we clearly see that Cao Cao has troops and horses entering the camp from the north every day, but why does the number of troops and horses decrease instead?"

"So where were all the Cao Cao troops who entered the camp hidden by Cao Cao?"

Guan Ping's generals had suddenly realized that they were impressed by their military advisor Deng.

Guan Yu's words made them confused again in the blink of an eye.

"This is where Cao Cao’s brilliance lies."

"I guess the thousands of Cao soldiers who enter the camp every day come and go."

"It's just that they entered the camp with great fanfare during the day, hid in the empty grain trucks at night, and slipped out of Cao's camp without anyone noticing."

"On the second day, they entered Cao Cao's camp again. This round of back and forth was able to create the illusion that Cao Cao was continuously increasing his troops."

"This is why Cao Cao continued to transport grain and grass when he was pretending to increase his troops."

"The purpose is to use these grain trucks to cover and hide his thousands of men and horses to sneak out of the camp, so as to hide it from our scouts."

The truth was completely exposed.

Everyone gasped.

Guan Yu frowned and said with lingering fear:

"Cao Cao's method is really cunning and unpredictable."

"Fortunately, there was a military advisor here, otherwise I was almost deceived by Cao Cao and missed the opportunity to teach Cao Cao a lesson!"

All the generals were impressed.

Especially Guan Ping.

This young man who admired Guan Yu and came all the way to Jingzhou to be admired by Guan Yu and adopted as his adopted son.

This was the first time to see Deng Mu's style in person.

Those about Deng Mu Guan Ping had only heard about the rumors of scheming before, but had not seen it with his own eyes.

Today, he finally experienced the power of this strategist in person, and was naturally impressed from the bottom of his heart.

"Military Advisor Deng, what is the purpose of Cao Cao spending so much time?"

Guan Ping is much older than Deng Ai, but he is obviously not as smart and resourceful as Deng Ai, and he has not been able to understand Cao Cao's intentions.

Deng Mu looked sarcastic and sneered:

"Cao Cao's move was naturally because he was afraid of retreating with great fanfare and was being pursued by General Yunchang."

"That's why he bluffed and pretended to increase troops so that we didn't dare to attack, but secretly evacuated most of the troops first."

"In the end, he will lead his elite Tiger Guards to retreat northward."

"In this way, Cao Cao's army of more than 20,000 people could retreat with all their strength."

Guan Ping suddenly understood, his eyes filled with respect, and he clicked his tongue:

"Commander-in-Chief Father often said that Military Advisor Deng never left any plans behind, just like Zhang Liang was reincarnated and his sage came to earth."

"Ping today is really an eye-opener."

Deng Mu only smiled at Guan Ping's admiration and compliments, but pointed at the enemy camp:

"There are only 5,000 soldiers and horses left in Cao Cao's camp. Although they are elite, Cao Cao must have thought that his plan was successful and he definitely did not expect that our army would launch an attack."

"General Guan, let's attack tonight to give Cao Cao a surprise!"

Guan Yu's blood was instantly ignited, and he shouted boldly:

"The generals are listening to the order, and you and I are guarding Xiangyang. Don't you all complain that there is no merit to be achieved?"

"This great achievement is now in front of you. Do you have the courage to follow me into battle and defeat Cao's thieves tonight?"

The generals' fighting spirit surged and they accepted the order with great enthusiasm.

…

Cao Ying, Zhongjun Tent

"Fengxiao's move was clearly to increase the number of troops, but secretly to reduce the number of troops. It was really an ingenious plan."

Cao Cao personally gave Guo Jia a glass of wine and praised with a smile.

"What a trivial plan, nothing worth mentioning"

"When Dong Zhuo held the emperor hostage, he used this strategy to frighten all officials in Luoyang before he could take control of the court."

"Jia just had an idea and learned from Dong Thief."

Guo Jia hurriedly picked up the wine glass to receive the wine, but he was modest and self-deprecating.

Cao Anmin on the side gave a thumbs up and praised:

"No wonder my uncle often said,"Fengxiao, you are full of ingenuity and have the style of Zhang Liang""

"Fengxiao, I have learned a lesson today."

Cao Cao also laughed and praised:

"I am able to serve as a filial piety, just like my great ancestor received Zhang Zifang, so why worry about not being able to accomplish great things!"

Facing such high praise from the uncle and nephew of the Cao family, Guo Jia couldn't help but feel a little proud and conceited in his eyebrows.

So he took a sip of tea and said with a confident smile:

"How dare Jia be compared with Zhang Liang? If Zhang Liang is really said to be reincarnated, then Deng Mu is even more worthy of these four words."

"However, Deng Mu is still in Xiakou. As long as he is not here, it is easy for Jia to deceive Guan Yunchang with this plan."

Cao Cao drank a glass of wine and said with a smile:

"After drinking this glass of wine, Fengxiao, please rest early."

"We won't pretend tomorrow. The upright class teacher will return north. Let me see if Guan Yunchang dares to chase him!"

After drinking a glass of wine, Guo Jia excused himself and left.

Cao Cao was in a good mood. Unconsciously, he drank a few more glasses and gradually became a little drunk.

"Anmin, are there any beautiful women near Wancheng?"

Cao Cao pulled his nephew close and asked with a smile. When

Cao Anmin heard what he said, he immediately understood and knew that his uncle was so full and drunk that he longed for women.

"My nephew found out that there used to be a peerless beauty named Zou Yu'er in Wancheng."

"It's a pity that this Zou family was taken as a concubine by Deng Mu"

"However, my nephew also found out that there was a widow in Yunting, ten miles away. She was the widow of Du family in Nanyang."

"It is said that this woman is beautiful and fragrant, and she is a beauty. If my uncle wants to see her beauty, how about my nephew go and invite her for him? When Cao

Cao heard that she was a widow, his eyes suddenly lit up and he patted Cao Anmin:

"So what are you waiting for? Come back as soon as possible!"

Cao Anmin chuckled, got up and left.

Cao Cao stroked his long beard and sipped the wine, with an expectant smile on his face.

Outside the tent, there were lanterns hanging high.

Cao Cao's soldiers were full. After dinner, everyone had dozed off and fell asleep.

They thought that tonight would be a peaceful and uneventful night as usual. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But they didn’t know.

Wancheng North On the gate tower.

Guan Yu's solemn eyes were watching them from a distance.

At this time, Guan Yu held the Green Dragon Sword tightly in his hand, and his brows were burning with hunting intent.

Behind him, Guan Ping and other soldiers all held their breath. , all of them were eager to kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds. The aura of eagerness filled the air.

But only Deng Mu was yawning continuously, and he was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes.

"No, it's time to go to bed, let's send them out of the city quickly..."

Deng Mu muttered in his heart, and then said to Guan Yu:

"General Yunchang and Cao Jun are almost asleep, let's do it! Guan

Yu was refreshed, raised his green dragon sword, and shouted:

"After hearing the order, Ping'er immediately lit the trumpet and issued orders to the generals!"

Guan Ping immediately ordered a pillar of smoke and beacon to be raised over the north gate......

That was the order for a night attack.

Prior to this, Liu Pi, Gong Du and other generals had led some troops around the city and sneaked close to Cao's camp.[]

To the west of Cao Ying.

When Liu Pi saw the trumpet rising, his fighting spirit burst instantly, and he shouted:

"Brothers, the time for meritorious service has come. Follow me to defeat Cao Ying and capture the Cao thieves alive!"

Four thousand soldiers of the Liu army exploded and rolled towards Cao Ying like a tide.

Almost at the same time.

To the east of Cao Ying, Gong Du also led his army out of the darkness and rushed towards Cao Ying.

Liu Jun from all directions The soldiers, like tigers and wolves released from the cage, pounced on the silent Cao camp from all directions.

At the foot of the north gate,

Guan Yu raised his green dragon sword and shouted:

"Open the city gate and lower the drawbridge!"

"The whole army will follow me into Cao's camp. I will not withdraw my troops until I kill Cao's thieves!"

The city gate opened and the suspension bridge was lowered.

Guan Yu held the Green Dragon Sword in his hand and roared out of Wancheng like a towering God of War.

"I will not withdraw my troops until I kill Cao's thieves.——"

"I will not withdraw my troops until I kill Cao's thieves.——"

More than eight thousand elite Liu troops poured out of the north gate like a tide with a shocking sound of killing.

Thousands of troops and horses rushed towards Cao Ying.

Outside the gate of Cao Yingying.

Cao Anmin was humming a ditty and riding his horse out of the camp.

"Everyone says that I, Cao Anmin, am incapable of writing or martial arts. I can only flatter my uncle."

"What's the shame in being a flatterer? As long as I can make my uncle happy, no one can shake my status in the Cao family."

"If I grab this Du family for my uncle to enjoy tonight, he will be happy and he might get another promotion for me tomorrow.……"

Cao Anmin murmured to himself, the more he thought about it, the more proud he became, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a somewhat smug smile. at this time.

In the night ahead, something seemed to be approaching quickly.

The ground beneath his feet was trembling slightly, and there was a bloody murderous intention in the air, approaching crazily.

Just when Cao Anmin raised his head and looked forward blankly.

A figure rushed out of the darkness on horseback and drew a sword, heading towards him.

With a red face and beautiful beard, holding a blue dragon sword in his hand, he looks like the God of War descending to earth.

"Guan... Guan Yu?"

Cao Anmin changed his face in shock and blurted out that name.

The next moment,

Cao Anmin suddenly woke up, hurriedly turned his horse and ran towards the camp, shouting:

"Something bad happened, Guan Yu attacked at night!"

"Go quickly and tell Uncle Ming, go quickly——"

Before the word"go" could be said, Guan Yu arrived like the wind, one man and one horse.

With a low roar, the Green Dragon Sword in his hand struck down with electricity. 1.6

"Click!"

Cao Anmin was cut into two pieces with a sword and fell under his horse.

Killed instantly with one move!

Guan Yu didn't even blink, dragging the bloody knife and continued to rush towards Cao's camp.

Countless Liu Jun soldiers behind him were like a tide. Like pouring out of the darkness, stepping on Cao Anmin's body, rolling towards Cao's camp. The sound of gongs sounded.

Cao's camp immediately fell into chaos.

At this time, in the Chinese army tent,

Cao Cao was sipping wine from cup to cup. I was imagining the appearance of Du's family in my mind.

Unknowingly, after drinking more than ten cups, I was drunk.

In a daze, I lay down on the table and snored.

"Let me in quickly!"

"Sikong has fallen asleep. No one is allowed to disturb him without informing him!"

"Guan Yu's night attack, Dian Wei, get out of the way, don't miss this important event!"

"The sky is falling, and no one can enter without Sikong's order!"

Dian Wei and Cao Hong were shouting at each other outside the tent.

Cao Cao was awakened from his drowsiness, staggered to his feet, and opened the tent curtain.

"Why are you shouting outside and disturbing my sweet dreams?~~"

Cao Cao, drunk and dazed, complained angrily.

Cao Hong knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and shouted:

"Sikong, something is wrong!"

"The enemy troops in Wancheng came out in full force and launched a sudden attack on our camp!"

"The enemy's attack was too fierce, and I was completely defenseless. It was difficult to resist in a hurry!"

"Then Guan Yu is about to come in!"

Cao Cao stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

The drunken look on his face was instantly replaced by shock.
