Liu Biao was so shocked that he became confused.
At this time, Kuai Yue's figure was also frozen, and the strategizing confidence on his face had long been replaced by confusion and shock.
"Although Cai Mao's water fighting ability is inferior to that of Huang Zu, he is also the second strongest in Jingzhou"
"He actually lost to Gan Ning?"
"This Jinfan thief actually has such water fighting ability?"
Kuai Yue murmured to himself, feeling confused in every possible way.
At this moment, he was shocked to find that Gan Ning's water fighting ability was far superior to Cai Mao.
Even if Huang Zu was here, Not necessarily an opponent!
Suddenly,
Kuai Yue raised his head and looked towards the north bank.
Across the vast Han River, he seemed to see an upright young man in green clothes, looking at him with a sarcastic look and a sneer.
That person, It was Deng Mu.
The previous careful work paid off. It was Deng Mu who recommended Gan Ning and taught Liu Bei to send people to recruit him first.
It was also Deng Mu who tried his best to persuade Liu Bei to hand over all the naval assets to Commander Gan Ning.
In other words,
Deng Mu already knew and believed in Gan Ning's strength.
Otherwise, how could he dare to let Liu Bei make such a huge gamble?
"Even I didn't realize that Gan Ning had such strength. How did he see through it?"
"How unfathomable is this man's intelligence?"
Kuai Yue looked dull and asked a soul question.
A bone-chilling chill came to his heart.
Fear!
At this moment, he actually felt a deep fear of Deng Mu.
At this moment.
Survived The navy warships have fled back to the south bank one after another.
These shocked defeated soldiers also brought the fear of defeat back to the water camp and to the infantry soldiers.
They even brought back the fear of defeat. An even bigger piece of bad news:
Cai Mao was captured!
Not only was he captured by Gan Ning, he was also hung up on the mast of the flagship like a clown for public display!
"Degui was actually...captured alive by the Jinfan thief?"01 Liu Biao exclaimed in surprise, and the riding whip fell from his hand.
For a moment, he felt dizzy, and he almost fell off the horse as he staggered.
"Lord!"
Kuai Yue, Wang Wei and others hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
"Big-eared thief!"
"You're trying to force me to death. It's hateful. It's hateful.~~"
Liu Biao's eyes were bloodshot, his blood boiled with grief and anger, and a stream of old blood had reached his throat.
The two brothers Cai Zhong and Cai He died at the hands of Liu Bei.
Now even Cai Mao, the head of the Cai family.
His brother-in-law, his most trusted general!
It actually fell into the hands of Liu Bei!
Still a shameful prisoner!
Liu Biao felt that one of his right and left arms had been forcibly removed by Liu Bei, and the pain was unbearable.
"After all, De Gui still underestimated the enemy too much. He shouldn't have underestimated Gan Ning..."
Kuai Yue shook his head and sighed, with helplessness on his face.
Liu Biao, on the other hand, was filled with grief, anger and despair, and said angrily:
"Liu Bei was just a mat weaver and shoe seller, but his advisers and generals were all outstanding figures in the world."
"I am the majestic lord of a state, and all of his generals and counselors are incompetent!"
"Why is this, why?"
Liu Biao cursed out his heart out of grief and anger.
The subtext was naturally blaming Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others for their incompetence, their inability to share their worries, and their inability to compete with Liu Bei's ministers such as Deng Mu, Gan Ning.
Liu Biao's accusations were like needles. , deeply hurting Kuai Yue's self-esteem.
"As the number one counselor in Jingzhou, how can I be helpless in times of crisis..."
Kuai Yue secretly gritted his teeth, his thoughts racing, searching for a way to break the situation.
Suddenly.
Kuai Yue's body shook, the helplessness on his face disappeared, and his eyes rekindled. gained confidence
"My lord, victory or defeat is a normal matter for a military strategist. My lord, please do not mess up your position."
"Although we have defeated the navy, this battle may not be without a chance to turn defeat into victory and turn the tide."
This sudden change of tone immediately lifted Liu Biao's spirits.
"Xiandu, do you have a good idea that can reverse today's defeat?"
Liu Biao pushed himself up, grabbed Kuai Yue and asked impatiently.
Kuai Yue raised his head, shot his cold eyes towards the north bank, and said slowly:
"Although Cai Mao's navy was destroyed, please don't forget, lord, we still have infantry."
"After Liu Bei defeats our navy, he will definitely become arrogant and conceited, and wants to take advantage of the situation to attack our southern bank."
"My lord, you might as well use retreat as advance, lead the army to withdraw from the water camp, and let Liu Bei cross the river and land ashore."
"When half of his troops have landed and the foothold is not yet stable, the lord will lead his army to fight back, and he will surely defeat Liu Bei in one fell swoop!"
"If Liu Bei's landing troops can be completely wiped out, it will not only make up for the losses of our navy, but also severely damage Liu Bei, making him unable to use troops against me again!"
Kuai Yue offered a plan eloquently and in a conceited tone.
Liu Biao's face suddenly turned from gloomy to clear, and he said happily:
"Xenodu, this is your strategy of attacking halfway through."
"Well, this plan is very clever, this plan is very clever, it will definitely turn defeat into victory and reverse the situation!"
Liu Biao once again saw the hope of defeating Liu Bei.
What he needs most now is to use a victory to reverse the collapse of consecutive defeats.
As for Kuai Yue's plan, what is the chance of winning, Liu Biao can no longer think deeply
"After the order was sent, the entire army immediately abandoned the camp and formed an array in the south of the camp!"
"I will use his methods to repay him!"
"Lure the big-eared thief ashore and attack him halfway across the river!"
…
North Shore.
A sentinel ship returned quickly, bringing back the good news that Gan Ning had completely wiped out the Jingzhou navy.
Cai Mao, who had lost his arm, was also escorted ashore and brought to Liu Bei.
"Cai Hao, what else do you have to say?"
Liu Bei's blade-like eyes looked down at the broken body in front of him.
Cai Mao, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head tremblingly.
When he saw the man weaving mats and selling shoes, he was looking down at him with a victor's attitude. Seeing his ugly appearance, endless shame and anger arose.
"Liu Bei!"
"You won today only because I underestimated the enemy and you were lucky."
"My lord still has a hundred thousand strong soldiers, as well as the Jiangxia navy. You will be defeated sooner or later!"
Cai Mao was ashamed to kneel down to Liu Bei. When he spoke harshly, he struggled desperately to stand up. When
Zhang Fei saw this, he immediately became angry. He stepped forward and kicked Cai Mao hard on the leg.
"Click!"
Cai Mao's calf was broken.
He just struggled to get up, screamed and fell to the ground again.
"You are a self-righteous idiot. If you lose, you will lose. How dare you use my eldest brother to speak rudely?"
"I think you are looking for a fight!"
Zhang Fei cursed and waved his iron fist, ready to use violence. But
Liu Bei waved his hand, indicating that Zhang Fei didn't have to do this.
Brutalizing his enemies has never been his style.
"Commander Ziyu, how do you think this person should be dealt with?"
Liu Bei looked at Deng Mu
"Of course he was beheaded in public display!"
Deng Mu answered without thinking.
Liu Bei was slightly shocked, and there was a bit of hesitation in his eyes.
"Mu knows that the Lord is a benevolent, righteous and tolerant person who pursues the royal way."
"But Mu also said that the royal way alone is not enough to bring peace to the world."
"Only with the kingly way as the main principle and the domineering as the supplement can great achievements be achieved." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"This thief has a sworn feud with his lord and vows to put his lord to death before he can do anything. There is no room for surrender."
"Moreover, he is the head of the Cai family and the chief culprit of the Cai family's domineering power in Jingzhou. Many of the heroes who were suppressed and excluded by him hated him deeply."
"If the lord doesn't kill him, how can he convince the people?"
"If the lord doesn't kill him, why show the lord's determination to take Jingzhou to those stubborn people?"
"Mu asked the lord to kill this thief and use his head to sacrifice the flag on the north bank for my army!"
Deng Mu's voice was fierce and he advocated killing Cai Mao.
At the same time, he brought out the theory of kingly domineering and gave Lao Liu a live lesson in the art of emperorship.
"Yes, brother, the military advisor is right"
"The man named Cai is Liu Biao's confidant. If you don't kill this guy, how can you live up to the dead soldiers?"
"If you don't kill him, who will obey you among those who are oppressed and marginalized by him?"
Zhang Fei also stood up and shouted indignantly.
Liu Bei was slightly shocked and turned back to look at the generals.
Wei Yan, Yi Ji and other people who had been excluded by Cai Mao all had anger in their eyes, and they wanted to kill them with their own hands..
Especially Wei Yan.
It was because he refused to disobey the law and did not open the city gate to Cai Hao that he was demoted three levels in a row by Cai Hao on trumped-up charges. At this moment, he clenched his fists and wanted to rush forward. He tore Cai Mao into pieces with his own hands to avenge his oppression.
Liu Bei suddenly had a look of enlightenment in his eyes.
"The military advisor's teachings are correct, and indiscriminate benevolence and righteousness are applied regardless of the target. That is not called benevolence and righteousness, but stupidity!"
"The king's way is supplemented by hegemony, which is the way to calm down the troubled times."
"If I don't kill this thief, won't it make Wei Wenchang and the others feel disappointed?"
Liu Bei's thoughts were racing, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
After taking a deep breath, Liu Bei shouted:"Wei Wenchang, listen to the order!"
"The end will be here!"
Wei Yan stepped forward.
"I order you to execute the execution yourself, kill Cai Mao, and sacrifice my battle flag!"
Wei Yan was shaken, and suddenly raised his head, looking at Liu Bei with surprised and grateful eyes.
He obviously did not expect that Liu Bei was not only determined to kill Cai Mao, but also ordered him to do it.
Deng Mu nodded slightly, secretly approving.
Wei Yan accepted Cai Mao. Naturally, he deeply hated being excluded.
Lao Liu asked Wei Yan to kill Cai Mao, which gave Wei Yan an opportunity to kill his enemy and vent his anger.
After that, how could Wei Yan not be grateful and repay Lao Liu with death?
Lao Liu's The art of the emperor has indeed improved again…
"The general will obey the order!"
Wei Yan accepted the order happily.
He turned around and looked at Cai Hao again. His face was filled with murderous intent.
"Liu Bei, I am the head of the Cai family, a famous person in the world!"
"Even if you win Jingzhou, if you want to secure Jingzhou, you still have to get the nod from my Cai family!"
"If you dare to kill me, I, the Cai family, will use all our strength to fight you to the death.——"
Cai Mao was horrified and stunned. He never expected that Liu Bei would ignore his prominent status and really dare to kill him.
Liu Bei was indifferent.
Wei Yanze grabbed him and dragged him towards the river like a dead dog.
"Liu Bei, you big-eared thief!"
"How could you listen to Deng Mu's temptation to kill me?"
"I, the Cai family, will not let your father go, I won’t——"
Cai Mao howled restlessly and was dragged all the way to the river and thrown to the ground.
Wei Changchang raised his sword and said coldly:
"Cai Mao, back then you used your power to bully others and demoted me three levels in a row, treating me like a fool."
"Have you ever thought that you would die under my Wei Yan knife today!"
Cai Mao raised his head, staring at Wei Yan with sad and angry eyes, and endless sadness surged in his heart.
"I, Cai Mao, a famous person in the world and the head of the Cai family, what a status I have"
"I actually died in the hands of poor people!"
"God is unfair, God is unfair——"
Wei Yan's sword slashed down vigorously.
The wails suddenly stopped.
Cai Mao's head rolled down on the river beach.
The battle flag has been sacrificed. 183 Deng Mu bowed his hand to Liu Bei:
"My lord, Cai Mao's navy has been destroyed. No one can stop us from reaching the south bank."
"The battle flag has been sacrificed, please give the order from the lord, the infantry will board the ship, and cross the Han River in one fell swoop!"
Liu Bei's pride was burning wildly, and he was about to give the order. Before he said the words, he suddenly thought of something and said again:
"Military Advisor, although Cai Mao was defeated, Liu Biao still had 20,000 infantry on the south bank."
"If he dies in the water camp, I'm afraid we may not be able to successfully fight him ashore."
Deng Mu smiled and said disapprovingly:
"Don't worry, my lord, Liu Biao will be furious and eager to win after losing all his navy."
"I expected that Kuai Yue would definitely offer him a plan and take the initiative to retreat and let our troops land ashore, so that he could successfully cross over and attack them."
"My lord, there is no need to worry too much. Just cross the river and our army will easily reach the south bank without any hindrance."
Liu Bei suddenly realized, and his eyes lit up.
At this time,
Zhang Fei shouted again:
"I'm talking about military advisor, you already told me that Liu Biao, the old thief, will give us a half-crossing attack."
"Then if you still let us land, wouldn't that be like hitting someone else's gun?"
After Zhang Fei reminded him, Liu Bei immediately became alert and looked at Deng Mu.
Deng Mu smiled coldly.
"Of course Mu would not be so stupid as to let our soldiers hit the muzzle of their guns and lose their lives in vain."
"The lord could cross the river head-on with infantry, but ordered Wen Yuan to lead the cavalry fromCrossing in darkness"
"When Liu Biao used his infantry to block our landing infantry, Wen Yuan led his cavalry to rush along the river and attack the enemy's flank quickly, catching him off guard."
"We are attacking on foot and on horseback, are we still afraid that we will not be able to defeat Liu Biao?"
Deng Mu took his time and came up with a strategy to break the situation.
It was obvious that Kuai Yue's thoughts were within his expectations and he had already thought of a countermeasure.
Liu Bei's eyes turned away from the clouds and the moon, and he had no worries anymore and shouted happily:
"Zhang Wenyuan, you have heard the military strategist’s plan, act according to it quickly!"
"The general will obey the order!"
Zhang Liao received the order with great excitement and immediately got on his horse to lead the wolf and ride away.
"Wen Yuan, please wait!"
Deng Mu suddenly spoke up and stopped Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao reined in his horse, turned around and cupped his hands:
"I don’t know what the military advisor has to say."
Under the gaze of everyone, Deng Mu took out a brocade bag and handed it to Zhang Liao.
"Military advisor, this..."
Zhang Liao stared at the bag of advice in his hand with a blank look on his face.
Deng Mu's eyes were filled with meaning as he said:
"In this bag, there is a secret plan that I prepared in advance. After you cross the river, you can open the bag and act according to the plan."
What a wonderful plan for the kit!
Liu Bei and the generals all looked curious, and their eyes were fixed on the kit in Zhang Liao's hand.
