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

Chapter 19



Liu Bei was relieved, smiled from ear to ear, waved his hands and said:

"Let’s prepare a banquet quickly. It’s rare to be happy today. I want to drink a thousand cups with Ziyu!"

So a banquet was held in Geling City.

This banquet was firstly for Liu Bei to celebrate the appointment of Deng Mu as his assistant, and secondly, it was also for the two generals Liu Pi and Gong Du.

Within one day, both worshipers He appointed Deng Mu as his military advisor, and got 10,000 elite soldiers and two powerful generals.

Liu Bei was naturally in a happy mood and drank as much as he wanted. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu and other generals and civilian officials also took turns toasting to Deng Mu and calling him respectfully. After a few rounds of drinking, Liu Bei's mood gradually calmed down.

"Ziyu, now that our army has gained strength, in your opinion, how should we use our troops next?"

Liu Bei's thoughts returned to his eyes.

Deng Mu also put down his wine glass and replied without thinking:

"Naturally, we should continue to advance westward and capture Jingzhou in one go."

Capture Jingzhou!

These four words shocked Liu Bei.

Jingzhou is still Jingzhou...

Previously, Deng Mu pretended to be Liu Biao's envoy to lure him to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao.

Now that he has become his own military advisor, he actually wants to go there himself. Jingzhou?

Or capture Jingzhou!

Does this require him to use force to capture Jingzhou from Liu Biao, a fellow clan member?

Not only Liu Bei, but everyone present was also surprised, and their eyes focused on Deng Mu

"Zifeng, bring me the map!"

Deng Mu waved his hand and shouted.

Zhou Cang hurriedly took the map and spread it in front of the hall.

Deng Mu got up and came to the map, flicking his hand and pointing.

"Jingzhou has thousands of miles of fertile fields and millions of households. Its rich heritage is comparable to that of Jizhou!"

"Jingzhou has the dangers of the Han River to the north, the benefits of the Yangtze River to the south, Yiling to the west blocking the Three Gorges waterway, and Xiakou to the east to control the Yangtze River."

"Such a victorious place that can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating is a God-given resource for achieving great achievements."

"Although Liu Biao was a member of the royal family and a famous figure in the country, he was actually a self-contained thief who was not worthy of sitting in Jingzhou!"

"If the Lord can capture Jingzhou, he can go down the river, capture the east of the river, go up the river to the west, and capture Bashu."

"In this way, we can compete with the Yangtze River and dominate half of the world."

"Afterwards, the lord personally led the main force out of the Qinling Mountains and directed his troops towards Chang'an. Guanzhong can be secured!"

"At the same time, two more generals were sent. One army went north from Xiangyang and captured Wanluo. The other army went north from Hefei and captured Qingxu."

"The three-pronged army went on a northern expedition to have a showdown with Yuan Cao and regain the Central Plains!"

"The Han Dynasty can prosper and the world can be settled!"

Deng Mu pointed out the country, made some eloquent plans, and presented Liu Bei with a strategy to pacify the world. For this strategy, Deng Mu naturally referred to Zhuge Liang's"Longzhong Dui".

But it was better than his previous experience.

The strategy presented by Deng Mu was The improvement of"Longzhong Dui" has eliminated its fatal flaw.

Jiangdong!

The fatal flaw of Zhuge Liang's Longzhong Dui is that it did not consider including Jiangdong in the territory.

Jingzhou occupies an upstream advantage relative to Jiangdong, and the navy moves eastward along the river. , you can reach the hinterland of Sanwu in a few days.

Therefore, for the rulers of Jiangdong, Jingzhou is always a sharp sword hanging over their heads.

If you don’t capture Jingzhou, you will have trouble sleeping and eating!

So Sun Quan betrayed the alliance and attacked Jingzhou. Although it is short-sighted, the fear of the threat from the upper reaches of Jingzhou is also an important factor.

Not to mention Sun Quan, if anyone rules Jiangdong, it is impossible to let Jingzhou be owned by others. Even if this person is an ally.

So Deng Mu made this improvement The Longzhong pair wanted to capture Jiangdong, so that they could go north to compete in the Central Plains without any worries. The hall was boiling.

Whether it was Guan Yu, Mi Zhu, or even Zhang Liao, Liu Pi and other newly surrendered generals..

Everyone gathered around the map, Deng Mu's strategy echoing in their minds, their eyes gradually surging.

"Lord!"

"Ziyu's strategy is really a clever strategy to revive the Han Dynasty!"

Mi Zhu looked surprised and exclaimed.

"Brother, although I don’t know much about strategy, I feel that Ziyu’s strategy seems to work!"

Even a vulgar warrior like Zhang Fei saw the beauty of this strategy.

Liu Bei stared at the map, chewing what Deng Mu said, his fists gradually clenched, and a certain excitement surged on his face.

The look in his eyes , is shining with a kind of clarity that has never been seen before.

The clouds are lifted and the moon is seen!

Suddenly enlightened!

For many years, although he has been working hard and fighting to revive the Han Dynasty, there is still no one in his heart. With a clear direction, I don’t know where to go on this road to Xinghan.

It’s like groping in the dark, the road ahead is dim and I don’t know where to go.

Until this moment.

Deng Mu was like a lighthouse, pointing out the direction for him. It lights up the way forward.

That feeling of sudden enlightenment, indescribable clarity and comfort

"I have been confused for decades, and today finally someone can point out a clear path for me..."

Looking at the fertile land in Jingzhou on the map, Liu Bei murmured to himself, filled with emotion in his heart.

Suddenly.

He thought of something, and his face The agitated look suddenly dimmed.

Then there was a long sigh.

"Ziyu's words made Beimao suddenly enlightened!"

"However, the leader of Jingzhou, Liu Jingsheng, was from the same clan as Bei. How could Bei seize his inheritance?"

Liu Bei looked at Deng Mu, and his expression became helpless.

Deng Mu sighed softly.

Liu Bei's attitude was also what he expected.

If it were the domineering Cao Cao, it doesn't matter if Liu Biao is from the same clan or not, he would block it My way is to just go and grab.

But Liu Bei is a king and practices benevolence and righteousness. Naturally, it is impossible for him to use swords against his fellow sects for no reason.

Otherwise, the old Liu in history would not have wasted his time in Xinye. For ten years, until Liu Biao died of illness, he still did not attack Jingzhou.

"What about being from the same clan?"

"Liu Biao is sitting in Jingzhou, but he doesn't think about helping the Han Dynasty. He only thinks about protecting himself. He is simply occupying the latrine and not doing anything!"

"I think brother, don't worry so much, let's just do what the military advisor said and rob Jingzhou!"

Zhang Fei's three views are relatively simple and crude. As long as it is beneficial to Liu Bei, it is over.

Liu Bei shook his head and said seriously:

"What Yide said is wrong. If my brother is like you said, how is he different from Yuan Shao? How is it different from Lu Bu?"

Zhang Fei was speechless.

Guan Yu and others looked at each other. Although they agreed with what Deng Mu said, they didn't know how to persuade them.

Because they understood that directly robbing Jingzhou was against Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, and no amount of persuasion by

Deng would help. A sly smile flashed in Mu's eyes.

Liu Bei's reaction was something he had expected.

He didn't expect to convince Liu Bei to go to war with Liu Biao and seize Jingzhou by force.

"It seems that we can only use the backup plan..."

Then Deng Mu changed the topic and said:

"The lord, caring about his kinship, did not want to take the initiative to seize Liu Biao's Jingzhou, and Mu also understood."

"Well, then let's settle for the next best thing, defeat Zhang Ji first, and then capture Wancheng!"
