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

This is exactly Deng Mu's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

The secret letter intercepted by Yuan Shang was a deliberately alienating letter written by Lao Liu under his instruction.

In fact, Yuan Xi had not had any contact with Lao Liu before this.

This letter only used Yuan Xi's identity as the second son of the Yuan family and the fact that he was qualified to compete for the heirloom, and successfully aroused Yuan Shang's suspicion.

The importance of the Yuan family's reserve position in Yuan Shang's mind naturally took precedence over the gains and losses of Jucheng.

Therefore, Deng Mu predicted that even if Yuan Shang did not have conclusive evidence, his mentality would be unbalanced and he would rush his army back to Ju County to"quell the rebellion."

Gongsun Du's invasion mobilized all his troops, and Yuan Xi's"rebellion" mobilized most of the main force.

So the remaining troops in Ju County are now only 10,000 Taishan soldiers at most.

This gave Lao Liu the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to advance and seize Jucheng in one fell swoop.

"A mere letter transferred Yuan Shangqing-Yi away"

"Deng was really impressed by the military strategist's clever calculations."

Chen Deng clicked his tongue in admiration, his eyes full of conviction.

Liu Bei's eyes were filled with fighting spirit and he said happily:

"Since Ju County is empty, let us immediately send troops northward and take advantage of the opportunity to attack Ju County!"

The generals' blood boiled with enthusiasm, and their fighting spirit was instantly aroused.

"As the army marches north, it is natural that it must go north."

"But don’t forget, my lord, Yuan Shang still left Guo Tu and Zang Ba to guard Jucheng"

"Guo Tu is somewhat clever. When he saw our army coming in full force, he must have known that with the 10,000 Taishan soldiers in the city, it was absolutely impossible to defend Ju County."

"In this case, will he still sit still and wait for death?"

Deng Mu was surprisingly calm, and suddenly asked in a meaningful way.

Liu Bei's expression moved slightly, and his fighting spirit was immediately suppressed, and he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"Be it Guo Tu or Zang Ba, they certainly would not sit still and wait for death."

"So in the opinion of the military advisor, how will the two of them respond?"

Liu Bei raised his head and looked at Deng Mu again.

"The wisest choice for these two people is to abandon the city and flee north to Qingzhou to save their lives."

"But Langxie is the root of Zang Ba. I don’t expect him to abandon him and flee north unless he has no last resort."

"As for Guo Tu, he must have received a lot of cold treatment when he switched to Yuan Shang's family. If he abandoned Ju County and fled north, he would not be able to gain a foothold under Yuan Shang."

"I predict that he will use all means to defend Jucheng for Yuan Shang"

"So if you want to defend Ju County, you can only use surprise troops."

Deng Mu raised his hand and pointed in the south direction of Ju County on the map:

"There is a valley in the south of Ju County, called Zhengrong Valley. It is the only way to Ju County, and the terrain is quite narrow."

"I guess that with Guo Tu's wisdom, he will definitely plan to set up an ambush in this mountainous valley to catch our army by surprise."

"Only in this way can he have a chance to repel my 90,000 army with 10,000 troops and defend Ju County!"

The eyes of Liu Bei and everyone else fell on the majestic valley on the map.

The narrow valley that is more than ten miles long is indeed an excellent place to set up an ambush.

"The military advisor is right"

"With Guo Tu's wisdom, it shouldn't be difficult to think of this ambush plan. Liu

Bei was convinced and asked:

"So in the opinion of the military advisor, how should we crack it?"

"Four words, use the strategy to your advantage!"

Deng Mu slowly stretched out four fingers, with a playful sneer flashing in his eyes.

…

Ju County.

Within the mansion.

Guo Tu and Zang Ba were cooking wine around the stove

"Guo Zheng, you think this is so good, why did the Third Young Master suddenly want to return to Qingzhou and take half of the troops with him?"

Zang Ba poured Guo Tu a glass of wine, his eyes and words were full of criticism.

Guo Tu shook his head and sighed as if he was self-deprecating:

"Then Shen Zhengnan is the Third Young Master's confidant. If the Third Young Master has any secrets, he will naturally discuss them with him, so how could he tell me."

Zang Ba was speechless and looked a little embarrassed, so he had to drink wine. After finishing the glass of wine, Zang Ba couldn't help but say again:

"There are only 10,000 Taishan troops left in this city. If Liu Bei's army suddenly invades at this time, how can I defend it with these few troops?"

Guo Tu rolled his eyes a few times, gave Zang Ba a glass of wine, and said with relief:

"General Zang, don't be too worried. The Third Young Master's whereabouts are hidden, and Liu Bei may not be aware of it."

"Even if he knew it, he might not be able to guess the motive of the Third Young Master's move, and he would probably have to do more spying."

"By the time he made a thorough investigation and found out that our troops in Ju County were empty and he was preparing to send troops to attack, the Third Young Master had already returned with his army."

Zang Baruo realized something, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was right to think about it.

Even their subordinates couldn't guess Yuan Shang's motive for going here, let alone Liu Bei.

"Then I feel relieved, and I will just look forward to the early return of the Third Young Master with his army."

Zang Ba's brows relaxed, and he raised his head and drank another glass of wine.

He had just finished a glass of wine.

Sun Guan looked panicked and rushed in.

"Brother, something bad is going on!"

"Scouts reported from the south, and a large group of Liu troops was found fifty miles south of Ju County, numbering about 90,000 people!"

"Those big-eared thieves are here in full force and want to take advantage of the opportunity to attack our city of Jucheng!"

Zang Ba changed his face in shock and spit out a mouthful of wine.

Guo Tu shivered even more, and his face suddenly changed with shock.

He was slapped in the face!

Just now, he had confidently judged that Liu Bei would not take advantage of the opportunity to attack.

This In the blink of an eye, Liu Bei slapped him hard with facts.

Zang Ba looked panicked and asked urgently:

"Guo Zheng, didn't you say Liu Bei wouldn't attack? What's going on? Guo

Tu said with sweat rolling down his forehead and a look of surprise on his face:

"This doesn't make sense. Liu Bei didn't know whether the three young masters were real or not, so how could he suddenly attack with a large army?"

"This is unreasonable and inconsistent with the art of war!"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Guo Tu kept shaking his head, obviously unable to figure out why. There was a panic in the palace

"Brother, Liu Bei’s attack is a fact"

"There are more than 90,000 big-eared thieves. How can we defend Ju County with only these few troops?"

"Quickly abandon the city and flee north to Qingzhou."

Sun Guan's anxious voice interrupted the two people's surprise.

Zang Ba's body trembled, and he suddenly calmed down, but his fists gradually clenched.

"My brothers started their careers in Langye. If they fled to Qingzhou, it would be equivalent to abandoning the foundation of our Taishan Army!"

Zang Ba expressed his difficulties with a helpless face.

Sun Guan said with a bitter face:

"Of course Yudi knows that Langxie is our foundation, and I don’t want to give up either."

"But Liu Bei’s 90,000-strong army is not enough to fill his teeth with just the few troops we have."

"If we don't leave, everyone will know that our brothers will all die at the hands of Liu Bei."

Zang Ba shuddered and fell into silence.[]

If we leave, we can still save our lives and ten thousand troops.

If they don't leave, they will all die in Jucheng.

Zang Ba has already made up his mind on how to choose.

Just when he sighed and wanted to order the city to be abandoned.

A flash of light flashed in Guo Tu's eyes, and he said seriously:

"General Zang, with your status, if you leave Xuzhou, how can you still gain a foothold in the Yuan family?"

"As for me, I was already being judged and ostracized, and I was not trusted by the Third Young Master."

"If I abandon Jucheng now, I am afraid that the third son will be angry and ask the lord to punish me."

"We are in the same boat, and we all have no choice. We must not abandon the city and flee north!"

Zang Ba suddenly realized it, but sighed with a bitter face:

"Guo Zheng, of course I understand what you said."

"But my brother also said that even if we don't abandon the city and flee north, we can't defend Jucheng with just the few troops I have."

Guo Tu had a look of pride on his face and sneered:

"Who said that Jucheng could not be defended with just 10,000 soldiers and horses. Zang

Ba was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what Guo Tu meant.

Guo Tu took the map, spread it on the table, raised his hand and pointed.

"General Zang is familiar with the terrain of Jucheng. There is a steep valley to the south of the city and the terrain is narrow, which is most suitable for setting up ambush."

"The big-eared thief predicted that we had few soldiers and would defend Jucheng and not dare to fight, so we decided to do the opposite and set up an ambush in this majestic valley."

"The big-eared thief is arrogant and underestimates the enemy, so he must not notice it. When the time comes, when his army enters the valley, we will launch a fire attack and set up an ambush."

"In this way, it is no problem for us to defeat 90,000 Liu Jun with 10,000 soldiers and horses."

"Even if we can't kill Liu Bei, we can definitely inflict heavy damage on Liu Jun, repel the enemy army in one fell swoop, and protect Ju County."

"We not only defended Ju County but also made great achievements. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Guo Tu pointed to the country and spoke his strategy eloquently.

Zang Ba's eyes lit up, as if he saw a glimmer of hope in despair, and he hurriedly threw himself on the map, carefully savoring Guo Tu's strategy..After a long time,

Zang Ba’s face was filled with ecstasy, he took a photo of the map and praised excitedly:

"Guo Zheng, this plan of yours is really a clever plan to win by surprise!"

"I really didn’t expect that you would be so cunning and cunning. I’m really impressed."

"In my opinion, your plan is far better than that of the judge!"

Zang Ba was ecstatic and praised Guo Tu excitedly.

Guo Tu's lips curled up with a long-lost pride, he stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"General Zang was so complimentary that the plan was just to seize the big-eared thief's arrogance and underestimate the enemy's flaw and implement a small plan. Zang

Ba no longer had any worries and shouted happily:

"Send the order, the entire army will be sent out tonight to set up an ambush in the Jungle Valley!"

"I want to use Guo to carry out a clever plan, burn the big-eared thief, and destroy his 90,000 soldiers to violate the righteousness of the army!".
