Wenpin was demoted.

Liu Bei was relieved in his heart and couldn't help but look back at Deng Mu.

If it weren't for him, the ghostly strategist, who has insight into people's hearts and uses this series of methods, how could he have added such a general?

"Zhongye, get up quickly. Liu

Bei stepped forward, lifted Wenpin up, stroked his shoulders and said:

"I am not happy to get Xinye, but I am happy to have Zhongye, a general!"

"From now on, you and I will fight side by side to achieve the great cause of helping the Han Dynasty!"

A few simple words of heroic words actually made Wenpin feel the excitement that he had not seen for a long time.

A sense of mission also quietly developed in his heart.

The sense of mission to support the Han Dynasty!

Both are Han clan clan members, Liu Biao is The royal family, with their roots in Hong Miaozheng, had never expressed to them their determination to help the Han Dynasty.

Wenpin encouraged Liu Biao just out of the duty of a minister.

But the new master in front of him made him feel that for the first time in his life Once, I had a passion to fight for my ideals.

"If you hire me, you will definitely be my lord, and you will go through fire and water for my great man, and I will never hesitate to do so! Wenpin bowed to the ground again and expressed his determination generously.

Liu Bei was full of joy and said"yes" three times in a row. He personally helped Wenpin sit down and drank a glass of wine for him. The two ministers drank a glass together and it was settled. The two men looked at each other and laughed bravely.

Zhang Fei and other generals in the hall also burst out laughing.

Only Kuai Kui, seeing that he was convinced, felt cold towards Liu Biao and was completely defeated. Although I wanted to be hired by Liu Bei, I secretly hated him in my heart.

He hated me, but I forced a smile on my face. I smiled and asked:

"Congratulations to Ambassador Liu for having such a great general as Wen Zhongye"

"The subordinate has kept his promise, but I wonder if the envoy can keep his promise?"

Liu Bei almost forgot about him, so he didn't bother to say anything more, waved his hand and said:

"You can take Cai Zhong's body back first, and then you can take Cai He away after Zhongye's family members arrive."

Kuai Kuai felt relieved and hurriedly thanked him. He just fled Xinye with Cai Zhong's body.

In the palace, a grand banquet was held.

The first was to celebrate the serious victory over Liu Biao and the victory in Xinye.

The second was to , but also for Wenpin, the new member of the army, to calm down the surprise and catch the wind.

"He has been guarding Xinye for many years, but he was blind and failed to discover such extraordinary talents as military advisors."

"Ping was really ashamed. With this glass of wine, Ping apologized to the military advisor."

Wen Pin has been an official for many years, and he knows a lot about human affairs. He can tell at a glance that Deng Mu is the second-ranking figure in Liu Bei's camp.

So the first thing he did when he surrendered and joined was to accuse Deng Mu.

"There is no need for Zhongye to blame himself. There are more than one or two talented people in Jingzhou who have been buried in the wild."

"Even if you find that I have some talent, based on my family background, even if you recommend me, will Liu Biao use it?"

Deng Mu said with relief.

Wen Pin was startled, then smiled bitterly and said:

"The military advisor's words are reasonable. If Liu Biao could only use his talents regardless of his origin, then he would not be Liu Biao."

After a few rounds of drinking,

Wenpin put down his wine glass, raised his hand to Liu Bei seriously and asked:

"Ping would venture to guess that the peace between the lord and Liu Biao should be just a stopgap measure."

"It won't be long before the lord will continue to go south, capture Fancheng, drink the Mahan River, and then capture Xiangyang?"

"I don’t know whether Ping’s guess is right or not."

Liu Bei had no doubts. Since Wenpin surrendered, he had nothing to hide and recognized Wenpin's judgment.

"Fancheng is the throat of Xiangyang. The city is extremely strong and has enough food for a year."

"After Liu Biao lost his new homeland, he would station a heavy army in Fancheng to guard against his lord and defend Xiangyang."

"If you want to capture this city, I am afraid that it will be very difficult to capture this city."

"However, with the lord's military strategy and the military advisor's wisdom, it is expected that Fancheng will be defeated."

After Wenpin made some analysis, the conversation suddenly changed.

"But after conquering Fancheng, we have to drink the Mahan River."

"If you want to cross the Han River and capture Xiangyang, you must have an elite naval force."

"The lord just doesn’t have any sailors"

"However, Liu Biao was stationed in Fancheng and had a naval force stationed there."

"This naval force has more than 400 warships and nearly 8,000 people, and is led by Zhang Yun."

"My lord has no naval force. With all due respect, even if he had an army of millions, it would be difficult for him to cross the Han River and reach Xiangyang."

Wen Pin pointed out Liu Biao's lies and the truth, and also pointed out the two biggest obstacles for Liu Bei to capture Xiangyang.

Fancheng!

Navy!

The warm atmosphere in the palace suddenly fell silent.

"Brother, what Wen Zhongye said seems to make sense."

"I heard that the real first fortified city in Jingzhou is actually Fancheng"

"With our current strength, if Liu Biao stationed tens of thousands of his elite troops in Fancheng, it would be really difficult for us to defeat him."

"He was right about another thing. We have no navy or warships, so how can we cross the Han River?"

"Swim over?"

"That won’t work either. Most of our soldiers are northern landlubbers and can’t swim!"

Zhang Fei scratched his head and complained with a headache.

Liu Bei's face gradually cast a shadow, and he couldn't help but look at Deng Mu, wanting to ask Deng Mu if he had any clever ideas.

The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them again. Go back.

Although Fancheng is the most fortified city in Jingzhou, it is there after all. With Deng Mu’s wisdom, it may not be able to defeat the city.

But without the naval army, even if Deng Mu has the wisdom of heaven, it will only I am afraid that I will be helpless.

No ship means no ship.

After all, Deng Mu is a man, not a god, so it is impossible for him to conjure hundreds of warships out of thin air, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Bei did not ask any more questions.

"Don't worry, my lord, Mu has his own plan to defeat Fancheng."

"As for the warships, don't worry, my lord, they will come naturally after defeating Fancheng."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden excitement in the palace.

"Military advisor, you said you have a way to defeat Fancheng, but I don’t believe you."

"You said there will be ships after breaking Fancheng. Isn't that a joke?"

"How did you let us have a boat? Did you conjure it up?"

"I believe you are a ghost~~"

Zhang FeiIt's as simple and crude as ever, and he complained on the spot.

"Winged!"

Liu Bei glared at him.

Zhang Fei stuck out his tongue, touched his head, and closed his mouth muttering.

Then Liu Bei asked Deng Mu with a strange look on his face:

"Ziyu, just take Fancheng, but how can you get this warship?"

Zhang Fei, Wenpin and other subordinate generals all looked at Deng Mu with surprise and suspicion.

Deng Mu did not tell them clearly, but he came close to Liu Bei and whispered in his ear.

Liu Bei's eyes gradually widened and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
