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

Liu Bei nodded slightly, secretly praising Zhang Liao as a man.

Just this courage to die calmly is ten times better than Cao Bao.

Originally, he was just testing it out, so he was not willing to actually kill Zhang Liao.

When Liu Bei's expression softened, he was about to step forward and personally untie Zhang Liao.

"Liu Shijun, since he insists on dying for Lu Bu, then let him do it."

Deng Mu suddenly spoke up and hinted at Liu Bei with his eyes.

Liu Bei immediately realized that Deng Mu was asking him to further test Zhang Liao in order to pave the way for his subsequent surrender.

Thinking of this,

Liu Bei's face regained its murderous look, and he shouted:

"Drag Zhang Liao down and behead him together with Cao Bao!"

As soon as these words came out,

Guan Yu's red face suddenly changed.

Deng Mu, didn't you say that Zhang Liao has the qualifications to be a famous general and persuaded my eldest brother to surrender?

Why did you change your mind now and encouraged my eldest brother to kill Zhang Liao?

My brother actually listened to Deng Mu's instigation!

So Guan Yu hurriedly stepped forward to plead:"Brother, I beg you, foolish brother."——"

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Deng Mu stretched out his hand to stop him, with a meaningful look in his eyes.Head hint.

How could Zhang Liao, a talent from the martial arts temple, be willing to let Lao Liu kill him? It would be a waste of natural resources.

But recruiting and surrendering is also an art.

The tiger's body trembles, and then it bows its head. This is a plot only found in third-rate novels.

If you really want to recruit people like Zhang Liao, you have to do enough preparations, complete the black-face and white-face drama, and it will be successful only when the heat is high.

Liu Bei had a tacit understanding with Deng Mu in this regard, and he could understand his hint with just one look.

Guan Yu couldn't read Deng Mu's eyes, so he had to swallow his plea and remain silent for the time being.

So Guan Yu could only watch helplessly as his guards on the left and right came forward to take Zhang Liao away.

"Liu Shijun, please wait for the execution!"

Zhang Liao pulled away and suddenly shouted.

Liu Bei waved his hand to stop his guards.

Zhang Liao's expression was still fearless, but he was a little more suspicious.

"I was defeated and captured, and died at the sword of Liu Shijun. This is my fate."

"But I beg Liu Shijun, can you let me die in peace?"

Liu Bei was startled.

"I want to know, Commander Liu, how can you conclude that Marquis Wen will lead his army to pursue you?"

"Who suggested to you the plan to set up this ambush and hit us hard?"

Zhang Liao made the request.

It turned out that he was confused as to which counselor under Liu Bei could have such a clever plan.

He also urgently wanted to know whether there were any other masters for Liu Bei besides Sun Qian, Jian Yong and his like. Give me some advice.

How about you die in peace?…

"Lu Bu is arrogant and conceited, thinking that I have no choice but to surrender to him."

"But I refused to surrender, which made him lose face, so he would naturally become angry and pursue me."

"He was also afraid that I would take a detour and defect to Cao Cao. Cao Cao would use my popularity in Xuzhou to send troops to attack him and compete for Xuzhou, so he wanted to eliminate the hidden danger."

"This is the reason why Lu Bu will definitely pursue me"

"But Lu Bu thought that I only had a defeated army left, so he didn't dare to fight with him and would just flee westward like a frightened bird. Naturally, he underestimated the enemy and pursued rashly, falling into the trap I prepared for him."

Liu Bei didn't bother to hide it and exposed all the mysteries.

Then he turned his admiring eyes to Deng Mu:

"As for the person who predicted that Lu Bu would pursue me and planned this clever ambush plan for me, it was Nanyang Deng Mu, Deng Ziyu. Zhang

Liao, who suddenly realized this, looked at the young and handsome young master beside Liu Bei with surprise.

"Deng Mu?"

"Nanyang, Jingzhou?"

Zhang Liao searched rapidly in his mind and couldn't remember that there was such a powerful person in Jingzhou.

Who is this Deng Mu?

Why did he appear in Xuzhou thousands of miles away?

Why did he help Liu Bei with advice?

Countless questions, Like thunder, it exploded in Zhang Liao's mind.

After being stunned for a long time, Zhang Liao had to put down his confusion and looked at Deng Mu with appreciative eyes.

"At such a young age, he has such a clever plan that even Chen Gongtai could not see through. He is truly a genius in the world."

"It seems that it is not unjust for me, Zhang Liao, to suffer such a miserable defeat with a person like you advising Liu Shijun."

After some admiration,

Zhang Liao took a deep breath, raised his head and said:

"The doubts in my mind have been solved and I can hit the road."

"Brother Yun, let’s say goodbye."

After bidding farewell to Guan Yu, Zhang Liao turned around and decided to die on his own.

Deng Mu smiled secretly.

The fire was almost done and it was time to cook.

So he coughed lightly and hinted to Liu Bei that

Liu Bei had already been a little heavy. Unable to hold his breath, when he saw Deng Mu's hint, he immediately stepped forward and stopped Zhang Liao in front of him.

Zhang Liao was stunned and looked at Liu Bei blankly.

"Wen Yuan is really a man!"

Liu Bei laughed loudly and untied the rope from Zhang Liao's body in a few strokes.

This dramatic change made Zhang Liao stunned. He was stunned on the spot and felt a little at a loss.

"Yunchang mentioned Wenyuan in private, and he was always full of praise, saying that Wenyuan is a hero of the world, and you have the bloody spirit of our northern men."

"I'm going to give it a try now, and it turns out that I'm right."

Liu Bei's eyes were full of admiration, which revealed his deep intention.

Zhang Liao suddenly realized that Liu Bei had wanted to kill him before, just to test him.

Looking at this meaning, he clearly meant to recruit him.

"Thanks to Liu Shijun's high regard, Liao was flattered"

"However, Liao Nai, a subordinate of Marquis Wen, might not be able to do that kind of thing of selling out for glory!"

Zhang Liao immediately handed over to Liu Bei and politely rejected Liu Bei's kindness.

Liu Bei's words of surrender were blocked, and he didn't know how to word them, so he had to look back at Deng Mu.

Deng Mu remained calm and looked at Guan Yu to signal that it was time. It was he, a fellow from Bingzhou, who was able to show off his reasoning and emotions.

Guan Yu understood this and immediately said with a serious look on his face:

"Wenyuan, what you said is wrong. As far as my brother knows, you were originally just a general under Ding Yuan, and you were a colleague of Lu Bu."

"After Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, you had no choice but to surrender your troops to his command because he had usurped the military power of the Bingzhou army."

"When did those slaves with the third surname become your Zhang Liao's lord?"

Guan Yu brought out Deng Mu's argument.

Zhang Liao was shocked and was immediately pushed back, speechless.

"Since you are not part of Lu Bu, why do you need to celebrate Lu Bu's death?"

"What's more, you were surrounded just now, and Lu Bu clearly had the ability to save you, but he abandoned you..."

So for the next time, Guan Yu talked non-stop, attacking Zhang Liao.

Gradually, the generosity and determination on Zhang Liao's face followed that of Guan Yu. The smoke disappeared after he persuaded Liu Bei to surrender.

After pondering for a long time,

Zhang Liao's eyes seemed to be suddenly enlightened, and he saluted Liu Bei and paid stern bows:

"After being taught a lesson by Brother Yun, Liao Ji suddenly realized that"

"Thanks to Liu Shijun's respect, Liao is willing to follow Shijun and go through fire and water for Shijun, no matter what!"
