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

Ju County.

A banquet is going on

"The Big-Ear Bandits have been occupying Tancheng for many days, but they have yet to lead their troops north to invade our Ju County."

"It seems that he realized that the terrain in Ju County was not conducive to the deployment of his troops, which made me offset his military advantage."

"Zhengnan, your strategy of retreating to Ju County is indeed a clever move!"

Yuan Shanggao raised his glass and looked at Shen Pei with approval.

With a smile on his lips, Shen Pei also raised his glass and said:

"Now it seems that it is no problem for the Third Young Master to defend Jucheng."

"There is a lord stationed in Liyang on the western front, and Cao Cao's thieves are unable to cross the Yellow River. They can only retreat in two months at most."

"When the time comes, the Cao thieves and the Big Er thieves will definitely meet each other and fight for the Central Plains."

"We can sit back and watch these two thieves fight to the death."

"By the time they fight until both sides are defeated, our army will have almost recovered its strength and regained its military might."

"At that time, the lord and the third son went south, so why worry about destroying the two thieves Cao and Liu and unifying the world?"

"The world in the future will still be the Yuan family's world!"

The trial matching is also satisfactory.Confidence outlines a grand blueprint for Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang's face was high-spirited and he couldn't help laughing and said:

"Zhengnan, if that day comes, I will be the most outstanding official of my Yuan family!"

"Father will never forget you, and I, Yuan Shang, will never forget you!"

The judge was in high spirits, and he expressed his loyalty to Yuan Shang.

Guo Tu couldn't let go of this opportunity, and he flattered and complimented Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang felt comfortable hearing this, and his face was full of pride, and he kept saying Hold the cup.

When the banquet was in a pleasant atmosphere, the guards hurried in.

"Report to the Third Young Master, Beihai Prime Minister will be rewarded"

"At the junction of Beihai and Donglai County, the Liaodong Army was frequently found."

"It is rumored that Gongsun Du and Liu Bei will unite and send the Liaodong Army to attack Gaomi and cut off our army's retreat."

Yuan Shang's hand 910 shook slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

Shen Pei immediately became alert and asked:

"Is the news reliable? Is the Liaodong Army really showing signs of invading the invaders?"

Yuan Shang also put down his wine glass and his face became gloomy.

"According to reports from Beihai, Liaodong cavalry appeared frequently at the junction of the county and the country. They should have entered the country in advance to spy on our army's strength."

"The possibility of Gongsun Du joining the bandits is extremely high."

The personal guard handed over the urgent report from Prime Minister Beihai.

Yuan Shang snatched it and couldn't wait to take a closer look.

"Snapped!"

The silk book was slapped on the table.

Yuan Shang looked angry, gritted his teeth and cursed:

"What a Gongsun Du, he is trying to take advantage of the situation!"

"When my Yuan family captured Qingzhou and turned a blind eye to him occupying Donglai, it was good for him that he dared to collude with the big-eared thieves!"

"If I had known this, I should have captured Donglai County and driven the Liaodong Army down to the Bohai Sea!"

The judge rolled his eyes, but the corners of his mouth curled up with disdain.

"Gongsun Du's army in Qingzhou did not exceed 8,000 men."

"In addition to the soldiers and horses left behind in Donglai, the most he could use was more than 5,000 soldiers and horses from the invaders."

"Third Young Master, don’t panic, we only need to allocate 7,000 more elite troops to Gaomi to garrison. Even if Gongsun Du’s troops come to the city, what will happen?"

"After we have defeated the big-eared thieves, it will not be too late to deal with Gongsun Du and drive him and his Liaodong Army into the sea!"

The judge responded quickly and immediately presented a response strategy.

Before Yuan Shang expressed his position,

Zang Ba looked worried and said:

"Our army totals only 30,000 people. If we transfer 7,000 people, we will only have 23,000 people left."

"If Liu Bei's army comes to attack at this time, (beac) will some of the troops be stretched thin and difficult to resist?"

What Zang Ba said was exactly what Yuan Shang was worried about, so he looked at Shenpei again.

Shenpei was calm and calm, stroking his beard and sneered:

"Zang Xuangao, this Jucheng is the place where you rose to prominence. Don’t you still understand the topography of this city?"

"There is Yishui River in the west of Ju County. Even if the big-eared bandits come to attack, they can only attack the city from the south gate and east gate."

"I have 23,000 soldiers and horses. Isn’t it enough to only guard two gates?"

Zang Ba suddenly realized that he had nothing to say.

"Chief Judge Shi had thought carefully and carefully, so I thought Chief Judge Shi’s plan was feasible!"

Guo Tu seized the opportunity and flattered Shen Pei.

As the leader of Ru Ying scholars, he had no choice but to join Yuan Shang's family, so he could only lower his face and please Shen Pei, Yuan Shang's most trusted advisor.

However, Shen Pei was Guo Tu's deliberate attempt to please was dismissive, and he glanced coldly, his eyes unconcealed with disdain.

Guo Tu felt embarrassed, but he could only smile along with him.

Yuan Shangsui had no worries and said:

"In this case, according to what Zhengnan said, seven thousand soldiers and horses were dispatched to Gaomi immediately for reinforcements to prevent Gongsun Du from invading the invaders!"

A problem has been solved. Although Yuan Shang's enthusiasm for drinking has diminished slightly, it is still there.

So the proud smile of spring breeze appears on his face and he toasts again.

The wine has not entered his throat.

The bodyguard re-entered and handed over a secret message. Shen Pei.

Shen Pei took one look and his expression immediately changed.

"Zhengnan, what happened again? Yuan

Shang noticed the abnormality and asked uneasily.

The judge put away the secret letter and looked at Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang understood, so he excused himself from being drunk, ended the banquet, and screened Guo Tuzang Ba and others away.

In the palace, There are only two of them left

"Zhengnan, what happened? Yuan

Shang couldn't wait to ask.

Shen Pei lowered his voice and said in a deep voice:

"Our sentinels intercepted a Liu Bei messenger west of Ju County and found this secret letter from his body." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Third Young Master, take a look."

The judge said and presented the secret letter.

"The messenger of the big-eared thief?"

Yuan Shang looked suspicious. After hesitating for a moment, he took the secret letter.

After just one glance, he was shocked.

The letter was actually a secret letter written by Liu Bei to his second brother Yuan Xi!

Liu Bei said in the letter that as long as Yuan Xi cooperated, cut off Yuan Shang's food and grass, and helped him go to Ju County. He promised to kill Yuan Shang.

In return, Yuan Xi would lead the remaining troops to withdraw to Jizhou and give up the entire Qingzhou.

Liu Bei promised that after taking Qingzhou, Then he stopped sending troops northward and drew the Yellow River as a boundary with his Yuan family!

"Second brother, is he crazy?"

"Why did he want to help Liu Bei cut off my food and grass, destroy my Jucheng, and give away Qingzhou?"

Yuan Shang changed his face in shock and shouted with disbelief.

The judge's face was gloomy and he snorted coldly:

"Third Young Master, it seems we have underestimated your second brother."

"His mediocrity and cowardice are just a disguise for his dormancy"[]

"He has developed a desire to compete for the throne!"

Yuan Shang's figure shone.

"The eldest son is dead, and everyone knows that the lord will definitely appoint the third son as his heir apparent."

"But from a legal perspective, as the second son, the second son is also qualified to be the heir apparent of the Yuan family."

"He has the ambition to fight for the throne, but he knows that he can't compete with the Third Young Master, so he wants to secretly collude with Liu Bei and use Liu Bei's help to get rid of you, the Third Young Master."

"Now he is in charge of Ju County and is responsible for the supply of food and grass to the front line. As long as he cuts off the food and grass for an excuse, the morale of our 30,000 troops in Jucheng will be shattered in less than ten days."

"When Liu Bei launches a massive attack on the city, how can we defend it?"

"Once the city is defeated, the entire army of 30,000 will be annihilated. Your life and death, Third Young Master, will also be uncertain."

"As long as the Third Young Master dies, Yuan Xi will become the lord's only son. No matter how mediocre and cowardly he is, the lord must make him his heir!"

"Third Young Master, this is Yuan Xi’s vicious plan to kill someone with a knife!"

The judge was filled with indignation, and he deduced Yuan Xi's plot from Liu Bei's letter.

Yuan Shang took a breath of cold air and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He never expected in his dreams that his usually cowardly second son Brother, he actually has such a ruthless side.

Either he doesn't take action, or he will be killed if he does!

"You Yuan Xi, you are really good at pretending, and you actually deceived all of us!"

Yuan Shang cursed loudly and was extremely angry.

Shen Pei cupped his hands and said in a deep voice:

"God bless the Yuan family, let us intercept this secret message from Liu Bei"

"The Third Young Master immediately raised his army, marched north at night, and unexpectedly rushed back to Jixian County, capturing Yuan Xi in one fell swoop!"

"In this way, Yuan Xi's rebellion can be put down as quickly as possible without Liu Bei taking advantage of it."

Yuan Shangshen thought so, but then said:

"Yuan Xi has more than 5,000 troops and horses in his hands. I have to take away at least half of the troops in Ju County before I can be absolutely sure of taking Ju County."

"But if I leave, there will be less than 10,000 horses left in Ju County. What should I do if the big-eared bandit attacks?"

The judge's mouth turned into a sneer.

"The big-eared thieves stayed put in Tancheng, just waiting for Yuan Xi to make the first move."

"He never expected that we would intercept his secret letter"

"The Third Young Master is here to suppress the rebellion. He will be back and forth for up to ten days. By the time Liu Bei learns the news and finds out the truth, Third Young Master, you will have already returned with your army."

"If the big-eared thief attacks again, what's there to fear?"

Yuan Shang's eyes brightened and his worries disappeared.

So he did not hesitate and ordered Zang Ba and Guo Tu to lead 10,000 Taishan troops to guard Ju County.

Yuan Shang himself, together with the judge, led more than 13,000 Jizhou soldiers to take advantage of the opportunity. Under cover of night, we left Ju County that night and headed north quickly.

…

A few days later, Tancheng.

In the palace, Liu Bei was discussing with the advisers and generals, staring at the Langye map.

Chen Dao rushed in excitedly

"Report to the lord"

"I sent an urgent report of my detailed work to the north of Ju County"

"Two days ago, more than 10,000 Yuan troops left the city and headed north towards Qingzhou, marching under the stars at night."

As soon as these words came out, the palace was filled with excitement.

"Military advisor, your plan of alienation has been accomplished!"

"My letter, as you expected, successfully alienated the Yuan brothers!"

"If Yuan Shang leads so many troops to the north, he must be killing Benju County and settling the score with Yuan Xi!"

Liu Bei looked at Deng Mu with joy and excitement.
