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

"Lord!!"

Feng Ji and other counselors were frightened and rushed forward.

At this time, Yuan Shao was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.

Everyone was in a panic, and they carried Yuan Shao into the inner hall with all their hands. They shouted to summon the medical officer for treatment.

Only Xinpi was stunned and froze in the lobby.

"The eldest son is actually dead?"

"The eldest son was actually killed by Liu Bei?"

"Then who can we, you Ying scholars, support?"

"Could it be that we can only shamelessly seek refuge with Yuan Shang?"

A helpless sigh sounded in the lobby.

…

Late at night.

Yuan Shao, who was in a coma, finally woke up.

"Tan'er, where is my Tan'er?——"

Yuan Shao suddenly sat up and shouted excitedly.

Feng Ji and others hurriedly gathered around and supported Yuan Shao.

"Lord, you must not get angry again and hurt yourself."

"The eldest son, he has already..."

Feng Ji Zhizhi didn't dare to say it, for fear that Yuan Shao would be provoked again and get angry to death on the spot.

Xin Pi sighed secretly and said silently:

"Xiapi was lost, and the eldest son was killed by Liu Bei!"

"People cannot be resurrected after death, so please put the great cause of the Yuan family first, and Ren Wan should spare his condolences."

Yuan Shao's body shook again, and a surge of sadness and anger was about to hit his throat again.

Although he already knew in his heart that Yuan Tan was killed.

But there was a voice in his mind, constantly deceiving himself and others. That's not true. His son is still alive.

Xin Shipi's words shattered his last remaining thoughts.

"Tan'er, my Tan'er~~"

Yuan Shao looked up to the sky and screamed in grief again. In his excitement, he was about to vomit blood again.

Feng Ji and others were shocked, and hurriedly supported Yuan Shao, and began to comfort him.

This time.

Yuan Shao took a few deep breaths and suppressed his anger before he fainted again.

After wailing for a long time, Yuan Shao managed to regain some composure and finally got through this.

"There are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Xiapi, how could they be defeated by the big-eared thieves?"

"How could Tan'er be captured alive?"

"What exactly is going on? Yuan

Shao asked through gritted teeth.

Feng Ji and Xin Pi looked at each other, and now they had no choice but to put down their hostility and tell the details of the fall of Xia Pi.

"Deng Mu?"

"It was this traitor from a poor family who used a vicious trick to defeat Xiapi and make Tan'er captured?"

"That big-eared thief, he is so brave that he dares to openly kill my Tan'er?"

Yuan Shao, who understood the truth, his face twisted and deformed again, and he roared in anger and anger.

Feng Ji also pretended to be angry on his face, and gritted his teeth and said:

"It was indeed Deng Mu who was so cunning and cunning that he used this poisonous plan to destroy my 30,000-strong army and make the eldest son fall into the hands of the enemy."

"That big-eared thief was arrogant and dared to murder the eldest son. He didn't take the lord into consideration at all. It was really hateful!"

The topic changed.

Feng Ji put away his anger, but sighed:

"But the order given by the lord to the eldest son was to stay in Xia Pi and wait for the third son to take over the Xuzhou Army."

"Unexpectedly, the eldest son disobeyed his lord's orders and openly led his army into battle."

"If this were not the case, the eldest son would not have fallen into Deng Mu’s poisonous plan, my 30,000-strong army would not have been completely wiped out, and Xiapi City would not have been captured."

"There is really something to blame for the eldest young master ending up like this.……"

Fengji didn't dare to say any more.

But this calm guidance was enough to ignite Yuan Shao's anger.

The pain of losing his son in Yuan Shao's heart immediately turned into extreme anger and disappointment.

"You don't have to cover up for him, he just brought it upon himself!"

"If he hadn't disobeyed my orders, how could he have caused the fall of our Xuzhou Army and destroyed our 30,000 soldiers in vain!"

"This stupid thing deserves the blame for his death in Liu Bei's hands!"

"How could I, a wise man, give birth to such a waste!"

Yuan Shao's attitude changed drastically and he cursed Yuan Tan.

Xinpi wanted to defend Yuan Tan, but he was afraid of offending Yuan Shao, so he had to keep silent.

"Lord, calm down"

"Although the eldest son is dead, the third son is still here"

"He ordered the messenger to carry the message, and now he has led his troops to withdraw to the Ju County area, preparing to rely on Langxie's long and narrow terrain to limit the strength advantage of the Big Ear Bandits and stick to the front line of Ju City."

"The Third Young Master said that as long as the Lord gives him ten thousand more troops, he will be absolutely sure that he can defend Ju County and Qingzhou!"

When Fengji saw that Yuan Shao's anger had subsided, he took advantage of the situation and spoke.

Yuan Shao's face finally improved a little, so he nodded and said:

"I've said it before, Shang'er is like me"

"Quickly reply to Shang'er. I immediately allocate 10,000 horses to him and order him to hold on without fighting and learn from Yuan Tan."

"Tell him that as long as he can hold Qingzhou and survive this crisis, I will make him the heir of my Yuan family!"

Feng Ji suddenly secretly rejoiced. But

Xin Pi's expression changed and he quickly reminded:

"Lord, we have sent 5,000 more troops to the senior officials, and now we are sending 10,000 more troops to Qingzhou. The available troops in Liyang are less than 30,000."

"40,000 soldiers and horses resisted 80,000 Cao Cao's troops. Is the disparity in strength too great?"

Yuan Shao couldn't help but look stern when he was reminded like this.

Before he could express his stance, Feng Ji said proudly:

"We have a natural danger in the Yellow River. Before crossing the river, the Lord ordered that all the ships along the hundred miles of the Yellow River be burned."

"Not to mention 80,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Cao, even with a million troops, how could he cross the Yellow River?" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"My 30,000 elite soldiers are enough to defend Liyang and the Yellow River defense line!"

Xinpi was speechless.

Yuan Shao's worries were immediately dismissed, and a look of contempt appeared on his face.

"Yuan Tu is right. I am personally in charge. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses are enough to defend the natural dangers of the Yellow River."

"I don't believe that Cao Cao can cross the Yellow River!"

Xin Pi had nothing to say, so he had to shut his mouth silently.

Yuan Shao struggled to get up, walked out of the inner hall with Feng Ji's help, and came to the door.

Looking in the direction of Xuzhou, Yuan Shao's eyes were filled with deep hatred. the fire

"Even if Yuan Tan doesn't live up to his expectations, he is still my Yuan Shao's son."

"Liu Bei, Deng Mu, your chief minister dared to kill him. I, Yuan Shao, will bear this hatred in his heart."

"One day I will make you pay with blood!"

…

South Bank of the Yellow River, Cao Jun’s camp

"Unexpectedly, in less than a month, Liu Bei had already conquered Xiapi"

"Even Yuan Shao's eldest son died in the hands of Liu Bei"[]

"This Deng Mu is indeed so wise that no one can control him..."

Cao Cao looked at the information in his hand and sighed with emotion.

He thought that he had taken Xuzhou to defeat Xiapi, but it took him nearly three months and sacrificed Thousands of soldiers were killed and injured before Xiapi was conquered. It only took Liu Bei a month, and the loss of soldiers was almost negligible, to capture the city of Xiapi. It

's really annoying to compare people to others.

"Xiapi fell, and most of Xuzhou was captured by Liu Bei."

"Yuan Shangdong scraped together 20,000 to 30,000 troops and retreated to Ju County, hoping to rely on Langxie's long and narrow terrain to limit Liu Bei's military advantage."

"However, Yuan Shang was not much better than his elder brother due to Yijia's ferociousness. Ju County could not be defended for a few days, and Xuzhou was all captured by Liu Bei in the morning and evening."

"Our first priority now is to cross the Yellow River, seize Liyang, and capture Jizhou one step ahead of Liu Bei!"

After Guo Jia analyzed the situation in Xuzhou, he pointed decisively towards the north bank.

Cao Cao was deeply convinced, stroking his beard and nodded:

"Feng Xiao's words are justified. Capturing Liyang and Jizhou are the top priorities."

"Otherwise, if I had fought in the Battle of Guandu, I would have made a wedding dress for that big-eared thief!"

The topic changed.

Cao Cao frowned again and sighed:

"It's just that Yuan Shao did a great job, burning all the boats and rafts along the route for hundreds of miles."

"If we want to cross the Yellow River, it will be difficult to break through Liyang quickly."

Guo Jia frowned and was helpless for a moment.

Although the Yellow River is not as wide as the Yangtze River, there are many ferries for crossing it.

But no matter how narrow the Yellow River is, boats are always needed to cross the river.

Yuan Shao burned all the boats. If you want to cross the river, just It has to be rebuilt.

What Yuan Shao has to do is to keep an eye on where you build the raft, and he can easily judge where you will cross the river.

Then he only needs to transfer the main force of Yuan's army to the corresponding ferry to set up defenses on the other side, and give you Just make a half-crossing attack.

Therefore, Yuan Shao transferred from the east to the west. Although he only had more than 30,000 troops left, it was enough to hold the Yellow River defense line.

"Sikong, I have a plan to help Sikong cross the Yellow River."

A young voice broke the deadlock in the tent.

310 Cao Cao looked for the voice and fell on a young scribe.

"Sima Zhongda?"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up slightly.

The young scribe was Ma Yi.

As a wealthy family in Hanoi County, in view of the special position of Hanoi County, the Sima family did not serve as an official to either Yuan Cao or Yuan Cao before the Battle of Guandu. During the

Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shaoyi

After the defeat, the Sima family immediately sent two brothers, Sima Lang and Sima Yi, to serve as officials in Cao Cao's shogunate.Sima Fang had the favor of recommending Cao Cao, and Cao Cao thought highly of the two Sima brothers.

The eldest son Sima Lang stayed in Xudu to assist Cao Ang in guarding his hometown.

The second son, Sima Yi, stayed with Cao Cao and made plans with the army.

At this critical moment, this taciturn young man from the Sima family suddenly said that he had a plan to cross the river, which made Cao Cao's eyes light up.

"Zhongda, do you have any good ideas?"

Cao Cao asked with great interest.

Sima Yi came out of the queue, raised his hand and pointed lightly at the map:

"Yi thought, why didn't Sikong use his main force to attract Yuan Shao at Baima, but instead sent a light army of infantry and cavalry to the west along the river into Luoyang, and then crossed the river from Xiaopingjin to Hanoi County?"

"Then it went all the way east out of Chaoge and went straight into Neihuang City north of Liyang."

"Neihuang is located between Yecheng and Liyang. It is the place where Yuan's army's grain and grass are transferred. Yuan Shao is afraid of repeating the mistake of Wuchao's grain and grass being burned, so he will probably have to abandon Liyang and retreat north."

"In this way, wouldn't it be possible for Sikong to attack the Yellow River and capture Liyang without losing any blood?"

Sima Yi offered a plan arrogantly.

Cao Cao stared at the map, his eyes turned to the direction of Hanoi County, and his eyes gradually became excited.

"Crossing the river from Hanoi and going straight to the side of Liyang is a clever strategy for attacking from the east to the west."

"It’s just that no matter where you cross the river, you have to build a raft, which will definitely arouse Yuan Shao’s vigilance."

"When he sends troops to set up defenses along the river, how will our army cross the river smoothly?"

Guo Jia pointed out the flaw in Sima Yi's plan.

Cao Cao frowned again and turned his eyes to Sima Yi, wanting to see how he solved this key problem.

"Who said that to cross the Yellow River, you have to build a raft?"

Sima Yi asked with a hint of secrecy at the corner of his mouth.
