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

That day, the atmosphere in the hall of the military mansion in Yulin City was solemn.

Deng Mu and his generals were carefully planning the tactics to break through Hucheng, when suddenly a personal soldier hurried in and presented the latest intelligence from Guanlong with both hands.

Deng Mu unhurriedly opened the intelligence, and after scanning a few lines of text, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and a sneer appeared at the corners of his mouth:

"Helian Shu, you can't stand the loneliness, are you going to join in the fun?"

After hearing this, Guo Jia quickly understood 70% of the truth from Deng Mu's brief words, "Prime Minister, Helian Shu finally took action?"

Deng Mu did not comment, and showed the intelligence to Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others.

The intelligence clearly recorded that Helian Shu had led the army to Hanning and continued to move south to Shucheng.

At the same time, Helian Yu was also busy transporting food and grass to the downstream Chongzhou line.

All signs indicate that Helian Shu intends to take the route through Shucheng and go downstream to Chuzhou.

Guo Jia saw through Helian Shu's intention at a glance and said in a deep voice:

"Helian Shu's move is quite sinister. He not only wants to rescue Chen Ba, but also wants to take the opportunity to steal Chuzhou and reap the benefits."

When the generals heard that Helian Shu planned to attack from downstream, they all changed color.

Zhuge Dan spoke first: "Prime Minister, it is rumored that Helian Yu has been secretly building warships in recent years. I believe that Helian Shu's naval strength should not be underestimated.

And our troops on the front line of Yicheng are less than 20,000, and the defense pressure may be quite huge."

Taishi Ci also expressed his concerns: "From the intelligence, Helian Shu invaded Chuzhou this time with at least 100,000 troops, which is far more powerful than Chen Ba.

Should we adjust our strategy and use the main force to fight against the big-eared thief?"

Deng Mu did not rush to make a decision, but turned his attention to Pang Tong:

"Shi Yuan, what do you think?"

Pang Tong coughed a few times and stroked Xu said:

"If we change the direction of attack now, wouldn't it be exactly what Helian Shu wants, giving Chen Ba a chance to catch his breath?

I think that since we want to destroy Chen Ba, we should quickly take down the pseudo-Chen in one fell swoop and never give up halfway."

Taishi Ci asked back: "Then how should we deal with Helian Shu's 100,000 troops?"

Pang Tong smiled calmly: "Although I am not from Chuzhou, I also know that the mountains and valleys between Yizhou and Chuzhou are steep and continuous, which is not conducive to large-scale military operations.

Although Helian Shu has a large number of troops, we can rely on the terrain advantage to defeat the enemy with fewer troops."

Deng Mu nodded in agreement and turned to Guo Jia for advice.

Guo Jia also expressed his support for Pang Tong's point of view: "The natural barrier between the two states is difficult to overcome. With Han Chang's ability, he should be able to successfully stop Helian Shu from invading the hinterland of Chuzhou by reinforcing another 10,000 or 20,000 troops."

Deng Mu stood up and walked to the map, his eyes wandering between Hucheng and Yiling, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Finally, he locked his eyes on Tan Dao:

". General Tan Dao, if I use all my navy to attack Hucheng, how confident are you that you can defeat Chen Ba's navy?"

Tan Dao ShenHis face stern, after a brief contemplation, he bowed and replied:

"If I command the battle, I have a 60% chance of defeating Chen Ba on the water. (To read the novel, go to Fulu Novel Network!)

If the Prime Minister can advance by land and water, threaten Hucheng from land, and force Chen Ba to divide his troops to defend the water camp, then I can increase the chance to 70%."

"That's enough!"

Deng Mu waved his hand happily and gave an order, "Tan Dao, listen to my order! I order you to lead 30,000 naval forces to go east tomorrow (Zhao Liaohao) downstream, take Hucheng directly, and fight Chen Ba on the water!"

Tan Dao's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

He never expected that he, as a surrendered general, would be so valued by Deng Mu that he was handed over the power to command the navy to fight Chen Ba.

This generosity and courage made him flattered and grateful. After standing there in a daze for a moment, he came to his senses and solemnly promised:

"Thanks to the Prime Minister's love and trust, Tan Dao is willing to fight to the death and win this crucial battle for the Prime Minister!".
