It’s not just Cao Cao.

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xia Houyuan, Le Jin and other advisers and generals present all changed their faces in shock.

Everything is beyond their comprehension!

In just a few days, Huainan has undergone drastic changes?

Lu Bu actually lost Shouchun and went to Yuan Tan?

Chen Gong still launched a rebellion?

Liu Bei set up an ambush and actually kidnapped Lu Bu's wife and daughter?

The most shocking thing is that the second son Cao Pi was captured?

Even Jin, the veteran who followed Cao Cao, was killed by Liu Bei?

This series of drastic changes, like sudden thunder, made everyone present feel dizzy and stunned.

"Wow!"

Cao Cao overturned the case to the ground, jumped up and lifted Cao Zhen up. With a ferocious and twisted face, he grabbed the adopted son and shouted hoarsely:

"What did you say? Tell me again!"

Obviously, this unbelievable change shocked him to the point of chaos, and he actually lost the decency and dignity that a Central Plains overlord should have.

"My foster father..."

Cao Zhen's face was full of sorrow, and he told the whole process one by one. There was a dead silence in the big tent.

Everyone's mouths were opened wide, and their faces were frozen in shock for a moment, as if they heard Tian Yiye Tan General.

Even Guo Jia's face was horrified and his lips were trembling slightly.

Cao Cao's face was frozen in a frozen and horrified moment.

His eyes were extremely confused, as if he could not understand everything Cao Zhen said.

"That big-eared thief, he predicted that Lu Bu would send his wife and daughter out of the city to marry me?"

"He also expected that I would send Pier to Shangcai to greet me?"

"This, this, this"

Cao Cao trembled to himself and let go of Cao Zhen.

He staggered back a few steps and fell down on his seat.

After a moment, the tent exploded.

All the advisers and generals in Cao's camp, caught in a panic discussion

"well——"

Guo Jia, who had regained consciousness, let out a long, feeble sigh.

"Sikong, Liu Bei's army…"

"No, not just Liu Bei’s army, but also the whole world!"

"Only Deng Ziyu had the ability to predict the future, as if he had opened his eyes!"

"All this must be his handiwork."

Deng Mu!

That's the name again.

Like a knife, it cut hard into Cao Cao's heart.

120"Deng Mu, Deng Mu, isn't there anything in the world that you can't account for?"

"I, Pi'er, was actually tricked by you and became a prisoner of that big-eared thief!"

"Hateful, hateful~~"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, clenched his fists until they crackled, and the veins on his forehead were about to burst.

At this moment, he felt helpless and angry like crazy.

First, Wancheng was defeated miserably, killing his brother and nephew.

Now that Shangcai is defeated again, his son also loses.

Cao Cao couldn't figure out that he would be humiliated to this extent by Liu Bei, a man who weaved mats and sold shoes.

He hates it so much that he wants to immediately raise his troops and go south to fight Liu Bei to the death.

"The big-eared thief actually captured Zihuan alive, which was really too much!"

"Sikong, let me raise my troops and go south to Huainan!"

"I will kill the big-eared thief and Deng Mu with my own hands, and rescue Zihuan!"

Xia Houyuan became angry and asked Cao Cao for a fight.

He took the lead.

Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Xia Houshang and other clan members all called for war angrily and went to save Cao Pi.

Guo Jia was startled and looked at Cao Cao anxiously. , wanted to raise objections.

He was really afraid that Cao Cao would lose his mind in a rage and forget who was the real enemy, so he would send his troops south to Huainan.

In order to save a son, he would vent his anger and accidentally In order to fight against Yuan Shao's overall situation, he is really confused.

But when the words of persuasion came to his lips, Guo Jia swallowed them back.

There was no way, he couldn't say this.

Who let the captured person be anyone else? , but the young master Cao Pi.

Can you persuade your lord not to care about the life or death of his son?

At this moment,

Cao Cao's eyes are bloodshot, his teeth are about to burst, and he is almost about to be invited to fight by the clan generals, which will detonate him. Reason.

But he is Cao Cao after all.

After taking a few deep breaths, he still suppressed his anger, and his emotions gradually returned to some rationality.

"Yuan Shao's 150,000-strong army is right in front of us. How could I save a boy and miss the overall situation of fighting against Yuan Shao!"

"I want to calm down, and so do you!"

Cao Cao pressed his hands on Xia Houyuan and others.

The people's indignation was then forcibly suppressed by Cao Cao.

Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and then he dared to speak:

"Sikong Yan makes sense. Master Pi naturally wants to save him, but not now."

"Jia thinks that we should concentrate all our efforts and defeat Yuan Shao, our formidable enemy first."

"Afterwards, the lord took advantage of the power of defeating Yuan Shao and sent his troops south. Liu Bei was afraid of being intimidated and would definitely send Master Pi back unharmed."

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, nodded and sighed:

"Filial piety is reasonable, but at this point, it can only be like this. Xia

Houyuan was unwilling to accept it and said:

"But even if we leave Liu Bei alone for now, now that Lu Bu has escaped, won't we save Shouchun?"

"If Shouchun falls and Liu Bei takes advantage of our defeat to Yuan Shao to march northward, how can we resist?"

Cao Cao was startled, shuddered, and looked at Guo Jia anxiously.

After Guo Jia was silent for a moment, he said:

"Although Lu Bu was defeated, it was not a bad thing."

"Although Lu Bu is the best in the world in martial arts, he is stubborn and will not be able to defend Shouchun."

"Now that Chen Gong controls Shouchun, with his resourcefulness and calmness, he may be able to protect Shouchun for a longer period of time."

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Xia Houyuan couldn't help but fell silent.

Naturally, they knew Chen Gong's tricks best.

After all, when Lu Bu stole Yanzhou, they had learned Chen Gong's methods and suffered a lot of losses.

Cao Cao He also relaxed his brows, stroked his short beard and said:

"The words of filial piety are reasonable. When it comes to defending the city, Chen Gongtai may be better at it than Lu Bu."

"Now it seems that Lu Bu's defeat may not be a bad thing..."

After this discussion, the atmosphere in the tent gradually became warmer.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, slapped the table and said: (Read the cool novel, then fly up Lu Novel Network!)

"Based on the filial piety plan, I temporarily tolerated it and allowed the big-eared thief to run rampant for a few days."

"After I defeat Yuan Shao, I will go back and deal with the big-eared thief and save my Pi'er!"

Outside Shouchun City, Liu Jun’s camp

"Military advisor, everything is under your control."

"As expected, Cao Cao sent troops to Shangcai to welcome Lu Bu's wife and daughter."

"Ziyi used your plan to defeat Shangcai and annihilated all 3,000 Cao troops."

"Moreover, Ziyi killed Yu Jin and captured Cao Cao's second son Cao Pi alive!"

Old Liu was full of joy and handed the good news about Taishi Ci to Deng Mu.

Deng Mu's eyes lit up.

Cao Cao sent troops to pick up Lu Bu's wife and daughter, which he expected.

But Cao Cao sent his son Cao Pi to pick him up in person. This was somewhat beyond his expectation.

"I guess Cao Cao wanted to show his sincerity in marrying Lu Bu, so he sent his second son here."

"It's a pity that he lost his son and his army this time."

Deng Mu sneered and exposed Cao Cao's intention.[]

Liu Bei was in a happy mood, so he smiled and said:

"Lu Bu was defeated in Xuzhou, Cao Cao's son was captured, and the marriage between Cao and Lu was shattered. (aded)"

"I predict that Cao Cao will be beaten badly by us this time. He neither dares nor has the ability to interfere in the Shouchun battle again."

"Next, we can feel at ease and discuss how to break Shouchun City!"

The atmosphere in the tent was heated, and everyone offered suggestions.

In view of the fact that Shouchun City is strong and somewhat similar to Jianye.

Many generals advocated using Deng Mu's plan to defeat Jianye and digging tunnels into the downstairs of Shouchun City. collapse its gates

"The military strategist's plan was successful partly because the Jianye city wall was made of mountain rocks and was several times heavier than the Shouchun city wall."

"On the other hand, the military advisor's plan was used to attack a city for the first time in history, and Sun Ce was unprepared."

"Now, considering the weight of the Shouchun city wall and Chen Gong's clever plan, it is believed that using that plan again may not have the same effect."

Pang Tong made a careful analysis and rejected the generals' claims.

The generals' high emotions suddenly fell silent for a while.

"I said Shiyuan, since you said that the military advisor's plan doesn't work, do you have any clever ideas?"

Huang Zhong asked Pang Tong.

Pang Tong was speechless and said nothing.

He could see that Deng Mu's plan of tunnel collapse would not work on Shouchun City.

But as for how to break Shouchun quickly, he had no idea at the moment. good strategy

"Chen Gong is very clever, and Shouchun City is controlled by him. Now it seems to be more difficult to break than Lu Bu's control..."

Liu Bei frowned slightly and looked at Deng Mu:

"Military advisor, you have a clever plan, do you have any clever strategy to break the city?"

Deng Mu coughed a few times and said:

"It’s not like Mu didn’t have this plan to break Shouchun."

"But this plan may damage the lord's reputation of benevolence and righteousness."

"And Mu estimates that the lord will probably not adopt it."

Liu Bei's eyes brightened, but he said curiously:

"I don’t know what the military advisor’s plan is to break the city. How can I judge whether I will adopt it or not?"

Deng Mu was about to explain.

Chen Dao hurriedly entered the account.

"Reporting to the lord, the south gate of Shouchun suddenly opened and thousands of people were driven out."

"The camp wall guard didn't know how to respond, so he asked the Lord to inform him."

There was a lot of surprise in the tent.

Liu Bei's eyes were confused and he said in confusion:

"Suddenly, why did Chen Gong drive the people out of the city? What trick was he trying to play?"

A flash of light flashed in Deng Mu's eyes, as if he had already guessed something.

He didn't point it out at the moment, and just said:"My lord, let's go and see what's going on first."

Liu Bei then led all the advisers and generals to the camp wall. He climbed onto the camp wall and took a look.

Sure enough, tens of thousands of people had been driven out with their families and were scattered in Shouchun and Wei. In the camp, people were frightened and crying, and they were at a loss.

"Ziyu, what do you think Chen Gong wants?"

Liu Bei frowned and looked at Deng Mu with confused eyes.

Deng Mu smiled coldly and said disapprovingly:

"It was simply because there was not much food in the city, so Chen Gong plundered all the food stored by the people to provide for his 10,000 horses."

"He robbed the people of food and grass, and was afraid of provoking a civil uprising, so he simply drove these Shouchun people from their homes."

"He expected that the lord's benevolence and righteousness would not disregard the life and death of these people, and he would just use them to consume our army's food supplies."

Deng Mu exposed Chen Gong's intention in a few words.

Liu Bei suddenly realized, an annoyed look appeared on his face, and he angrily said:

"Chen Gong, a self-proclaimed scholar, did not want to be so cruel to the people, and what he did was so vicious that he was even worse than Lu Bu!"

Deng Mu looked disdainfully and snorted coldly:

"Lu Bu's evil was blatantly evil, but Chen Gong's evil was secretly evil, and naturally more vicious."

"If not, why would he have led Lu Bu to steal Yanzhou at the cost of ruining all life in Yanzhou?"

"In the world, there are so many celebrities like Chen Gong who regard the common people as nothing."

Liu Bei realized something.

He was angry. Even though he knew it was Chen Gong's plan, Liu Bei still ordered the palace gate to be opened to take in the Shouchun people who were driven out of the city.

So tens of thousands of people were integrated into the camp.

Old Liu ordered the allocation of food and grass to relieve these Shouchun refugees, and even went to comfort them personally.

The people were all extremely grateful for Liu Bei's favor and knelt down to express their thanks.

"The Lord's benevolence and righteousness have indeed won the hearts of the people."

"It was just Chen Gong's poisonous trick that solved the weakness of insufficient food and grass."

"I estimate that the food he collected, plus the food he already has in stock, will be enough to sustain him for half a year."

"Half a year is enough for Yuan Cao to decide the winner and intervene in the battle in Huainan."

Pang Tong frowned deeply and reminded worriedly.

Liu Bei shuddered slightly, his brows furrowed again, and his face cast a shadow.

"Lord, don’t worry"

"Didn't Mu say before that he had a plan to destroy Shouchun, but he was just afraid that his lord wouldn't adopt it?"

"Now Chen Gong drives the people out of the city, which just helps the lord"

"My lord now has no worries and can use my plan with confidence and boldness."

Deng Mu, who was beside him, suddenly smiled meaningfully.

Liu Bei was refreshed and asked curiously:"I wonder what the military counselor has in mind?".
