Liu Bei's wisdom at this time was no longer what it used to be, and he realized overnight that this was Cao Cao's trick.

Everyone agreed.

Guo Jia also nodded slightly and said:

"Among the people in Wei, the only one who could come up with such a grand strategy for Cao Cao was Xun Yu."

"The minister thought that Xun Yu should have regained Cao Cao's trust and made suggestions for him."

Guo Jia knows Xun Yu very well.

When Cao Cao was still weak, it was he and Xun Yu who single-handedly supported Cao Cao with their own resourcefulness. The familiar taste and familiar formula of Cao Cao's plan made Guo Jia I smelled it immediately, it was Xun Yu’s handiwork

"Although this is Xun Yu's plan, Jingzhou and Qingzhou must be protected"

"Your Majesty, I think we need to send some troops and horses to come back for reinforcements."

Liu Ye also raised his hand and spoke.

Liu Bei believed it.

So he ordered the former general Guan Yu to lead 30,000 troops to the south to join the Jingzhou town army to stop Liu Zhang's Shu army from invading Jingzhou. He also ordered Tai Shici to lead 20,000 troops to the east. Return and join forces with the Qingzhou Town Army to deal with the invading Gongsundu Liaodong Army.

"Although these two groups of soldiers and horses have to be mobilized, the current strength of the 24th Army in Yecheng has dropped to less than 200,000."

"The key is that both Qingzhou and Jingzhou can still be defended, but Cao Cao's cavalry's plan to rob our grain road seems to have some unsolvable problems."

"If we cannot keep the food channels, our army may not be able to sustain its supply of food and grass for two months and will fall into a situation of shortage."

Pang Tong raised new concerns.

Liu Bei frowned and focused his attention on the 20,000 Cao Wei cavalry again.

As Pang Tong said, it seems that there is indeed no solution.

Just like the battle at Suiyang and the battle at Liyang In that way, although he won in the end, it was all through other means.

He never had the strength to confront the enemy cavalry head-on.

"Liang Dao, Cao Wei Cavalry"

"I have a headache..."

Liu Bei pinched his forehead with his fingertips and muttered to himself.

"Isn't it just 20,000 cavalry? If we defeat him, it will be over..."

Deng Mu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said such an intriguing word.

Old Liu perked up and looked at Deng Mu with excited eyes.

All the ministers Their eyes were brightened, and they all looked towards him.

Listening to Deng Mu's tone, it seemed that he had a plan to defeat Cao Cao's 20,000 cavalry.

And was it easy?

"Prime Minister, do you have a clever plan that can defeat Cao Cao's 20,000-strong cavalry? Liu

Bei couldn't wait to ask.

Deng Mu didn't answer, but asked:

"Your Majesty, do you remember how we crossed the Yellow River and defeated Pingyuan City in the Battle of Pingyuan?"

Liu Bei's thoughts returned to the beginning.

He vaguely remembered that Yuan Shang also sent out the Yuan family's cavalry to continuously raid his grain roads.

Later, Deng Mu designed a plan to induce Yuan Shang to send out his cavalry to attack the grain camp in Luoyin.

In the end, he set up a trap He laid an ambush, attacked the enemy's cavalry with heavy damage with a repeating crossbow, and captured the enemy general Yan Liang alive.

"Prime Minister, do you want to use the same method to deceive Cao Cao's 20,000 cavalry?"

Liu Bei blurted out Deng Mu's intention.

Deng Mu nodded slightly.

In the tent, all the advisers and generals immediately became excited.

"My Dayan's repeating crossbow is incomparably powerful."

"The Yuan family's cavalry could not withstand it, and Cao Cao's cavalry must not be able to withstand it either."

"Your Majesty, this plan of the Prime Minister is feasible!"

As a person who has experienced it personally, Yan Liang was the first to stand up and express his agreement.

All the generals also agreed.

The clouds on Liu Bei's face gradually dispersed, and the light gradually gathered in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, luring the Wei cavalry with food and grass is indeed the best strategy."

"But the key to this plan is not to lure, but to break it."

"But Cao Cao knows about the existence of Liannu, and I am afraid that he will make the cavalry be wary."

"I am only worried that if we want to use repeating crossbows to defeat Cao Wei's cavalry again, it may not be that easy."

Guo Jia poured a ladle of cold water on the generals' excitement.

The generals immediately calmed down.

"Ziyu, the words of filial piety are reasonable."

"How clever is Cao Cao? How could he not learn from Yuan Shang's mistakes?"

"We want to defeat his 20,000 cavalry with repeated crossbows, but as Feng Xiao said, we may not be able to succeed."

Liu Bei looked at Deng Mu with worried eyes.

Deng Mu smiled and asked in a meaningful way:

"Your Majesty, I just said that I defeated Cao Wei's cavalry by luring the enemy." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"When did I say that I would defeat the enemy with a repeating crossbow?"

Liu Bei was stunned.

The ministers were also stunned.

If you don't use continuous crossbows, how can you defeat the enemy's cavalry?

With cavalry?

Isn't that a joke?

The total number of cavalry in your army is only more than 6,000.

Six thousand versus two Ten thousand, how can there be a chance of winning?

Otherwise, ordinary strong bows and hard crossbows can be used to defeat the Cao Wei cavalry.

But if you want to use ordinary strong bows and hard crossbows to defeat them, you need to win with numbers. If you want to defeat 20,000 cavalry, you must at least There are about 10,000 crossbowmen.

According to the force coordination, the 10,000 or so crossbowmen must be protected by at least 30,000 foot soldiers.

In other words, more than 40,000 soldiers must be sent to protect the grain team!

Such a A mighty and large-scale food transport team was sent out, but they were afraid that the food and grass would be eaten up before they could be transported to the front line.

Moreover, Wei Jun was not a fool. Such a large-scale food protection team was just for the first time. How could those who deal with them fall for the trap and turn their guns on them?

"Prime Minister, how can you defeat Cao Cao's cavalry with only a small amount of troops without using this continuous crossbow?"[]

Liu Bei asked with a suspicious look on his face.

Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Liu Ye and other advisers also looked puzzled.

"Your Majesty, don't worry"

"In addition to the repeated crossbow, I also made another weapon for the king, which could also catch the thief Cao off guard and defeat his 20,000 cavalry."

"With this weapon, only 6,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry troops are needed to protect the food supply."

Deng Mu said unhurriedly. As soon as he said this, there was excitement and surprise in the tent.

Guo Jia, Liu Ye and other surrendered ministers were still at a loss and failed to understand the profound meaning of Deng Mu's words.

Liu Bei and Pang Tong, monarchs and ministers, But his eyes immediately brightened.

The serial crossbow and the Xiangyang cannon were all magical weapons presented by Deng Mu, and they performed miraculously.

Now Deng Mu said that there is another weapon.

Doesn't this mean that Deng Mu has made another weapon? He has a new secret weapon!

Moreover, this secret weapon can actually defeat Cao Wei's 20,000 cavalry!

What kind of magic weapon is this! How can Lao Liu and his gang not be happy!.
