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

Chapter 40



"Ziyu, why did you choose here?"

Liu Bei got up and went downstairs to the map. He stared curiously at what Deng Mu was pointing at.

"Because the terrain here is most suitable for ambushing Liu Biao!"

Ambush?

Liu Bei stared at the map, as if he had some realization.

Guan Yu and others' thoughts changed and they understood what Deng Mu meant.

Hearing what Deng Mu meant, he probably wanted to use the same trick against Lu Bu, and deliberately attacked Liu first. Show weakness and lure him into a large-scale pursuit.

Then he uses ambush tactics to catch Liu Biao off guard and severely damage his army.

This strategy, to be honest, is not a clever one.

"Military advisor, let me tell you the truth, your plan is not very good."

"I remember that you also used this trick when dealing with Lu Bu."

Zhang Fei was outspoken and said whatever he wanted.

These words naturally expressed the feelings of everyone.

Liu Bei coughed a few times and said:

"Ziyu's plan is actually a clever one."

"It's just that Liu Jingsheng is much calmer than Lu Bu. It's not easy to induce him to pursue rashly."

Deng Mu's mouth flashed with a hint of deep meaning.

"A strategy does not have to be sophisticated and complicated to be called a clever plan."

"A simple strategy, as long as it is used on the right target, it is a brilliant plan"

"If I use this strategy to deal with Cao Cao, it will naturally be a small trick, but it is enough to deal with Liu Biao."

"Liu Jingsheng is much calmer than Lu Bu, but as a celebrity, he must have a common problem among celebrities, which is to save face."

"To put it bluntly, even his face is much thinner than Lu Bu’s"

"We only need to use some means to anger Liu Biao and make him lose face. We will naturally stimulate him to lose his composure and pursue him in anger."

This analysis of Liu Biao made Liu Bei nod his head and he was greatly enlightened.

So Liu Bei hurriedly asked:"How does the military advisor plan to anger Liu Jingsheng?"

"This requires the lord to take action himself"

"I?"

Three days later.

Liu Bei left Guan Yu with 5,000 troops to guard Wancheng, and ordered Liu Pi to lead 3,000 elite troops to garrison in Ye County in the north of Nanyang to prevent Cao Cao from attacking south.

Liu Bei personally unified Wanbuqi and headed south from Wancheng to Bowang City, a hundred miles away.

The straight-line distance between this city and Xinye is only more than seventy miles, and it serves as the southern barrier to protect Wancheng.

New wild city.

Liu Biao stood on the north gate tower, holding his sword proudly and looking north.

At their feet were groups of Jingzhou troops, marching northward in an orderly manner.

"Our army is several times larger than the enemy's. Liu Bei will not dare to confront his lord. It is expected that he will abandon Bowang and other Wannan cities and retreat to Wancheng."

"I have many soldiers and sufficient food, and I have the entire Jingzhou as my backing. I can surround Wancheng and fight a protracted war with him."

"In less than three months, Liu Bei will run out of food and Wancheng will surely collapse without a fight."

Cai Mao was planning strategies eloquently, and his face was filled with the air of a famous general.

Liu Biao nodded slightly and said in approval:

"What De Gui said is absolutely true. Liu Bei, with Deng Mu as his assistant, likes to use deceitful tactics the most."

"I took every step of the way and fought steadily, so that Deng Mu's deceit would be useless."

Cai Mao was busy complimenting Liu Biao and praised Liu Biao for his brilliance and martial prowess.

Liu Biao stroked his beard and sneered, then left the city and headed north.

Just as he got on his horse, a scout came galloping towards him. He rolled his saddle and dismounted.

"Report to the lord!"

"Liu Bei has personally led 10,000 cavalry through Bowang County and is leaving the city to go south. It seems that he is going to face our army head-on!"

Liu Biao was shocked.

Cai Mao's expression also changed.

Liu Bei once again made a move beyond their expectations.

Instead of retreating to defend Wancheng, he went forward to fight them head-on in the wild!

Let's fight with ten thousand. He has an army of 40,000?

Are you crazy?

Cai Hao was surprised at first, then a ferocious sarcastic sneer appeared on his face

"This big-eared thief is so arrogant that he actually tried to fight my 40,000-strong army with 10,000 troops!"

"Lord, this is a God-given opportunity. We can complete our work in one battle, destroy his main force in one battle, and capture Liu Bei alive!"

In Liu Biao's old body, a burst of blood was suddenly ignited by Cai Hao.

"My lord, Liu Bei knew that his troops were smaller than ours, but he still wanted to fight head-on. This move was quite counter-intuitive."

"Could this be Deng Mu's trick? We should be cautious."

A general next to him was extremely calm, pouring cold water on Liu Biao's enthusiasm.

The person who made the suggestion was none other than Jingzhou veteran Wenpin.

Liu Biao immediately calmed down.

"Even if a member of a poor family has some intrigues, why would he make you so afraid of Zhong Ye?"

"Our army is four times that of Liu Bei. With this absolute advantage, I don't believe that Deng Mu can defeat the strong with the weak!"

Cai Mao sneered at Wenpin's caution.

As a famous person from a wealthy family, he seemed to be born with a condescending disdain for the poor.

Even Deng Mu, a poor scholar, had used various ingenious schemes to prove his extraordinary wisdom.

In Cai Mao's eyes, it was still just a flash in the pan.

Liu Biao was obviously not as conceited as Cai Mao. After pondering for a moment, he waved his hands and said:

"What Zhongye is worried about is that Deng Mu is not as smart and wise as he is, so he needs to be careful."

"After the order was passed, the army marched north step by step, and scouts were sent widely to detect the enemy's situation. No advance was allowed!"

Cai Mao curled his lips. Although he didn't agree with it, he couldn't openly question Liu Biao's decision.

So Liu Biao led an army of 40,000 people and marched steadily northward, advancing towards the front line of Bowang at a speed of forty miles a day.

Two days later, dusk.

On a hill, Liu Bei stood high and looked south.

At the end of the horizon, the dark war flag gradually rises and is slowly rolling in.

"Liu Jingsheng is here!"

Liu Bei's eyes focused, and he subconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword.

After a moment, the scouts rushed up the mountain and reported that Liu Biao had led an army of 40,000 to the north, which was only five miles away.

"Military advisor, according to the original plan, you will be condescending and in charge of the overall situation."

"Bei personally used as bait to lure Liu Jingsheng into the net!"

Liu Bei told Deng Mu, then got on his horse and galloped away.

Zhang Fei also picked up the Zhangba snake spear and followed him down the mountain.

"General Yide!"

But Deng Mu kept him.

Zhang Fei reined in his horse, turned around and asked:

"Military advisor, if you have any other orders, tell me quickly. I have to protect my brother."

Deng Mu took a step forward and said with a playful smile:

"General Yide, you know my lord’s temperament best."

"When I met with Liu Biao later, he was probably still worried about his fellow-clan sentiments and couldn't express the fragrance from his mouth."

"At the critical moment, I'm afraid you have to be the villain."

Zhang Fei seemed to understand, but said blankly:

"Military advisor, what do you mean? What do you mean when your breath smells fragrant? Do you mean my breath smells good?"

As he spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief, and after smelling it carefully, he couldn't help but frown.

Why does it smell a bit smelly...

Deng Mu suppressed a smile, waved his hand to signal Zhang Fei to lean down, and then explained something to

Zhang Fei. Fei's eyes widened, he patted his chest and laughed:

"I thought it was something difficult, but it turns out it's so simple. Don't worry, military advisor, I'm the best at scolding my mother!"

After saying that, he turned around and rode away.

Deng Mu stood high and looked far away with his hands behind his hands.

To the south was the direction of the avenue.

Liu Bei had commanded eight thousand soldiers of the Liu Army and lined up on the avenue, waiting for the Jingzhou army to arrive.

"Zhoucang Hu Cheer obeys the order!"

"Each of you will lead a thousand troops and be ready."

"Just wait until the lord successfully lures the enemy and sees my flag raised, then he will ambush me with all his troops!"

"Let's give Liu Biao a barbecue dinner! (

I am almost reaching the achievement of 10,000 flowers. Please give me flowers, please give me flowers. I will work hard to repay you. Thank you!)
