Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 440

"One more point, one of my original goals was actually to attack Liu Bei, not Hanoi. Although Hanoi is good, it is closely adjacent to Yuan Shao's Jizhou. It cannot be defended without heavy troops! It is really tasteless!"

"So our next step is to welcome the emperor, and at the same time try to attack Liu Beijun!"

"Now we have more than [-] warships and more than [-] civilian ships, and we can ferry nearly [-] soldiers across the river at one time. I decided to wait for the battlefield to be cleaned up, take a rest, and immediately lead the elite soldiers across the river when the sky is brighter. Marquis Wen withdraws! Afterwards, our army will go to Hedong County to support the Southern Huns, and intercept Liu Bei head-on from the west, forcing Liu Bei to retreat and fight Cao Cao!"

"Qubei, are you satisfied with my arrangement?" Feng Yao asked Liu Qubei with a smile after telling the general plan.

Liu Qubei was overjoyed and prostrated himself on the ground, "Thank you, my lord, for your great kindness!! Qubei has nothing to repay you. If you win the position of Shanyu, you will do your best to wipe out the Northern Huns! Live up to your lord's entrustment!"

"That's the best!" Feng Yao nodded, and swept away the generals again.

Zhao Yun and others all said in unison: "My lord is wise, and I am willing to obey my orders!!"

……

May [-]

Liu Bei was discussing with the generals how to attack Liu Bao's Southern Huns, when suddenly his subordinates rushed to report.

"My lord, something is wrong! Mi Biejia's navy was wiped out! Mi Biejia also..."

"Ah!! Tell me quickly, how is Mi Biejia?" Liu Bei was shocked.

"My lord, please give me condolences! Mi Biejia has returned to the west on a crane!"

"Wow...!" Liu Bei burst into tears, even Chen Deng, who had always been indifferent, had red eyes and a painful face in grief.

"Liu Shijun, this is the end of the matter, please cheer up the general, and please order immediately to prevent this news from being leaked!" Chen Deng stepped forward to persuade Liu Bei.

Liu Bei suppressed his tears, and with a murderous look in his eyes, he looked at the scout who had reported the news, and asked, "Apart from you, is there anyone else who knows about this?"

The scout was stared at by Liu Bei, his back broke out in cold sweat, and he said anxiously: "My lord! Rumors have spread in the army! And..."

"And what?" Liu Bei took a sharp breath, the murderous look in his eyes had disappeared, and his face softened, but his expression became more anxious.

The scout secretly exhaled and was very shocked. Knowing that he had already walked through the gate of hell just now, he didn't dare to say any more, and said in his heart: "If I say that there are rumors in the army, it is the lord who secretly ordered Yang Chou to kill Zhang Yang. , I’m afraid that my little life will never be saved again! But I’ve already said half of what I said, let’s deal with it first, and then look for opportunities to escape from this place! I can’t follow Liu Bei anymore!”

"My lord, yes, and the morale of the army is shocked!" the scout said.

Liu Bei nodded and ordered: "Go and investigate again, and find out who is behind this matter!"

"Obey! My lord!" The scout rushed to leave.

In Liu Bei's tent, the four generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yang Chou, and Chen Deng looked heavy.

Guan Yu looked at Yang Chou and said, "General Yang, since Zhang Yang's death, your lieutenant officers have always complained about you. If there are rumors, they must come from your army!"

Yang Chou was furious: "A certain follower's loyalty to the lord, the world can learn from it! How could he do such a thing that is not good for the lord! General Guan is going to spit blood!"

"Hehe! Hehe!" Guan Yu sneered.

"My lord, please allow my subordinates to resign and go back to the camp to find out what happened! To prove my innocence!" Yang Chou pleaded for Liu Bei's life, his expression angry.

Liu Bei took a look at Guan Yu's attitude, nodded and said, "That's fine, please return General Yang to the camp to appease the troops. At this critical juncture, you must not mess yourself up!"

Yang Chou resigned and returned to the base camp with more than ten relatives, and then entered the camp. He was about to summon his generals to give orders, but he heard a shout, and screams sounded one after another. In the blink of an eye, dozens of soldiers rushed in. Soon he beheaded all the followers around Yang Chou, and Yang Chou was forced to a corner with a knife, and he saw clearly the faces of all the soldiers, they were his soldiers.

"Aren't you afraid of being dealt with by military law if you dare to make trouble in Fan Shang?" Yang Chou shouted angrily.

"Hahaha!!" At this time, from outside the tent, the two generals entered with swords each.

One general is named Sui Gu, the other is named Dong Zhao, both are Zhang Yang's former generals, and now they are under the command of Yang Chou.

"The generation who kills the lord, dare to be rampant! Brothers, this thief kills the lord, we have seen it all. I thought I could follow Liu Bei and earn a little living, but I didn't expect that it was Liu Bei who colluded with this thief to kill Mr. Zhangfu!" Dong Zhao shouted angrily.

"If you dare to kill me, Mr. Liu will kill you!" Yang Chou was horrified.

Sui Gu was furious, swung his knife and charged, "Kill!!"

Immediately, dozens of weapons were assembled, and Yang Chou died on the spot. Suigu cut off Yang Chou's head with a single knife, and found the seal of the soldier talisman from Yang Chou's arms. Angry at the fact that Liu Bei and Yang Chou had killed Zhang Yang, more than [-] troops led Frog Gu and Dong Zhao as their assistants.

When Liu Bei learned of this, he regretted it and wanted to raise troops to pursue Suigu, but because Suigu was so powerful, if Suigu fought, he would lose his troops and lose his general. Under Chen Deng's persuasion, he had to order Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to stabilize the army. Prevent further changes.

It wasn't until noon that Liu Bei's army stabilized. After counting the number of troops, there were only more than [-] soldiers. In addition to the [-] troops who defected with Suigu, there were thousands of soldiers who defected.

Liu Bei's wife, Mrs. Mi, and Mi Zhu's younger sister heard that her elder brother Mi Zhu was killed in battle. She cried loudly and fainted on the ground.

"Yuanlong! The strength of our army has been greatly reduced, and there are still more than [-] Baibo troops in Hedong. I am afraid that this plan to seize Hedong County is no longer feasible..." Liu Bei lamented.

Now the only person beside Liu Bei who can give advice is Chen Deng.

A vicious look flashed in Chen Deng's eyes, his hatred for Feng Yao, I am afraid that there is no other person in this world who can compare with him!If not, Chen Deng would have left Liu Bei long ago, but now Chen Deng has deeper plans!And the one who can help him realize this strategy is of course Liu Bei.

Even the more downcast Liu Bei is, the easier it is to be manipulated by him!

Chen Deng burst out laughing suddenly, "Shijun Liu, I think Feng Yao's 20 troops are nothing more than chickens and dogs! They can be defeated in an instant!"

"Yuanlong, where did you come up with this plan?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.

Chen Dengdao: "I have three strategies to make Feng Yao return without success. First, my uncle is currently managing grain and grass in the army, and he is quite unsuccessful. Please send a letter of suspension from the king, and make friends with Da Sima Li Jue. , now that Li Jue and Feng Yao have turned against each other, they will be happy to agree!"

"Secondly, please send envoys immediately to form an alliance with Liu Bao! Liu Bao killed his father and seized power, and the people's hearts are unstable. He is eager to ask for foreign aid, and he will definitely agree!"

"Thirdly, please envoy the king to join forces with Liu Bao to attack the land east of Hanoi, strengthen the walls and clear the country, control all the people and families, detain their wives and daughters, and order the people and families to send troops to attack Baibo Valley! Finally occupy Baibo Valley, according to Baibo Valley Resist Feng Yao, although Feng Yao has many soldiers, but the army is on an expedition, the food and grass are not enough, and the Xiliang army is on the side, they will retreat by themselves soon!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed, but worried: "Feng Yao has seized all my warships now, if he suddenly crosses the river and attacks, how can he resist?"
