Three Kingdoms: Wolong's brother-in-law, tricking Liu Bei into seizing Jingzhou

"Your Majesty, although the rebellion of the southern barbarians has been quelled, the situation in the world has not yet been truly stabilized."

Xiao Fang's face was calm, his tone revealed a profound strategy, and he spoke slowly.

The smile on Liu Bei's face instantly disappeared. His expression became alert and he stared at Xiao Fang.

"Your Majesty, please do not forget that Guo Jia has defected to Kebi Neng."

Xiao Fang looked solemn and continued:
"Now, Kebineng, relying on Guo Jia's wisdom and strategy, has successfully unified the Xianbei tribes and is preparing to invade the Han territory."

"If the Xianbei people do not surrender and submit, how can we say that the world has been stabilized?"

As he spoke, Xiao Fang raised his hand and pointed firmly to the north.

When Liu Bei heard this, he woke up as if from a dream and suddenly realized what was going on.

The Xianbei people rose in the vast land of northern Frontier, and Kebi Neng was even more talented and ambitious.

If the Xianbei are not completely eradicated, there will never be peace on the border, so how can we talk about peace in the world?
"Every word the Prime Minister said makes sense."

Liu Bei agreed with this and deeply recognized what Xiao Fang said.

"After returning from the southern expedition and resting for a while, we should march out of the border and wipe out the Xianbei in one fell swoop."

Liu Bei nodded heavily, his eyes showing determination, and then asked:
"Jinglue, since you mentioned the Xianbei, I guess you have a good plan to pacify the Xianbei people?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present focused their eyes on Xiao Fang, expecting his reply.

Xiao Fang was naturally prepared.

He looked calm and immediately ordered Xu Chu to present the map of the northern border.

After a while, a huge map was carefully spread on the ground.

This map was carefully planned and drawn by Xiao Fang who went deep into the northern frontier.

In the picture, the specific locations of the Xianbei tribes, the distribution of grasslands, the deployment of troops in the city... are all depicted clearly and at a glance.

It can be said that everything about the Xianbei people is vividly displayed in this picture.

"Jinglue is indeed a man of foresight!"

Liu Bei stared at the map closely, his eyes full of admiration.

Then, he looked at Xiao Fang again and asked sincerely:

"Jinglue, in your opinion, how should I destroy Xianbeiwei?"

“Although the area of ​​Saibei is extremely vast, there are four enemy cities that are of vital importance, namely Woye City, Huaishuo City, Baifu City, and Huaihuang City.”

Xiao Fang pointed at the map and said in an orderly manner:

"If Your Majesty wants to destroy the Xianbei, you will naturally have to seize these cities!"

After hearing this, Liu Bei stared at the four cities on the map and nodded continuously to show his agreement.

"Among all the cities, Woye City is the closest to Youzhou."

"Over the years, the Xianbei invaded Youzhou from this city."

As Xiao Fang spoke, he moved his finger along the map:

"Go north from Woye City to Huaishuo City. If you continue walking, you will reach Huaihuang City."

"And Baifu City is the ancestral land of the Xianbei people. Most of the cattle, sheep, women and children of the Xianbei are also here."

Xiao Fang pointed at the map, headed north, and analyzed the situation incessantly.

"Now Ke Bineng has arrived at Huaishuo City. As long as Your Majesty can capture this city, the Xianbei people will have no more defenses to defend and can be defeated!"

Liu Bei kept nodding his head, listening to Xiao Fang's analysis while secretly planning in his mind how to defeat the enemy.

"If our army wants to wipe out the root of the problem in one fell swoop, we must first capture Huaishuo City."

"However, Huaishuo City has the Xianbei elite deployed to defend it, and the city defense is very strong."

At this time, Zhao Yun spoke up with a hint of worry in his expression.

Zhang Liao also nodded slightly, and then said:

"The Xianbei cavalry can come and go like the wind and cut off our food supply. If our army marches north to attack the Xianbei, it will be very different from the war against the pseudo-Qin."

For a moment, all the Han generals looked worried, and the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.

Liu Bei frowned, and naturally understood the reason behind this.

The grassland has a vast terrain, which is an ideal place for the Xianbei cavalry to gallop across the country.

If the Xianbei divided their forces to attack and cut off their food supply, their army would be in great trouble and unable to bear it.

Although the Han soldiers were powerful in combat, their cavalry was relatively limited.

In grassland warfare, the number and combat effectiveness of cavalry are often the key factors in determining victory. "Your Majesty, I have a plan that will surely defeat Kebinen!"

However, Xiao Fang smiled confidently, with a hint of weirdness in his eyes.

When Liu Bei heard this, he was immediately delighted and asked quickly:

"What brilliant plan does Jinglue have? Tell me quickly."

Xiao Fang pointed at the map and explained his strategy in detail.

After hearing this, all the generals' eyes lit up instantly.

"This plan is really feasible!"

Liu Bei showed a look of delight and nodded with satisfaction.

Sudden.

He seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of worry appeared on his face again:
"But, Jinglue, the most important point of your plan is to deceive Ke Bineng?"

"Jinglue, do you have any plan to confuse the enemy?"

All the ministers looked at Xiao Fang again, waiting for his answer.

"Your Majesty, although Kebi Neng is called the Chanyu of Xianbei, he is only the nominal leader of the Xianbei tribes."

"He is a humble Xianbei man, but not everyone obeys him."

"For example, the bald-headed Pigu of the Bald-headed Tribe."

Xiao Fang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a sly smile:

"In that case, let's start with this person, and then..."

Xiao Fang took his time and laid out his plan.

After hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but laugh.

lol.

Then he stood up and said happily:
"Okay, Jinglue's plan is brilliant, I have nothing to worry about."

"I have made up my mind. I will follow Jinglue's plan!"

The plan was thus finalized.

So, after celebrating the victory, Liu Bei led his army back north.

Two months later, the Han Emperor Liu Bei returned to Luoyang smoothly.

While Liu Bei was still on his way back to the capital, the envoy Deng Zhi had already taken the lead and rode at full speed to the north beyond the Great Wall.

……

Early spring.

The grassland had just awakened from its slumber, and Deng Zhi set out on the journey north as an envoy.

He went north from Bingzhou and entered the territory of the Tufa tribe.

The Tufa tribe, located to the east of the vast grassland, is a large Xianbei tribe and its power should not be underestimated.

When Tufa Pigu, the leader of the Tufa tribe, learned that the Han envoy had entered his territory, he did not dare to be negligent and immediately went south to greet him in person.

Deng Zhi was expecting Tufa Pigu's warm welcome.

Ever since Liu Bei destroyed the Wuhuan, Tufa Pigu's heart was filled with fear.

He knew the great strength of the Han Dynasty, and secretly sent envoys to Luoyang several times to show his goodwill to Liu Bei and express his unwillingness to be an enemy of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, it was understandable that he welcomed Deng Zhi with the highest courtesy upon hearing that he was coming.

However, when Deng Zhi announced Liu Bei's order and summoned Tufa Pigu to Luoyang to meet the emperor, the smile on Tufa Pigu's face disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"His Majesty, he wants me to go to the capital to meet him?"

There was a hint of doubt in Tufa Pigu's eyes, and he secretly guessed Liu Bei's intentions.

"His Majesty summoned you to the capital this time because he wanted to personally reward you!"

Deng Zhi explained with a smile.

Who would believe that?

If you arrest me when we get to Luoyang, won't I become a lamb to be slaughtered?

Liu Bei, your wishful thinking is going to work out just fine!
Tufa Pi Gu cursed in his heart.

But I didn't dare to show it on my face, and I didn't know how to respond for a while. (End of this chapter)
