LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 24
Zhang Ji was already seriously injured, but now he was captured by Liu Bei. Feeling so humiliated, he became so angry that he died suddenly on the spot.
Liu Bei's expression softened and he sighed:
"Although this person brought trouble to the Han Dynasty, he was still a person, so he should be buried with ceremony."
The soldiers on the left and right came forward and dragged Zhang Ji's body down.
Liu Bei got off his horse, climbed up the high steps, and sat on the throne.
The generals came one after another to report.
The four gates of Wancheng had raised Liu character flags. , under the control of Liu Jun. Of the two thousand enemy troops left in the city, more than half were killed or wounded, and nearly a thousand were captured.
Wancheng, the seat of Nanyang County, fell under Liu Bei's banner
"Ziyu made a plan and ordered Bei to take Wancheng lightly. It was really a conspiracy, and it looked like Zhang Liang would be reincarnated! Liu
Bei was in high spirits and praised Deng Mu.
Deng Mu smiled and said calmly:
"Wancheng has been conquered, and the various counties in Nanyang are sending messages to confirm. Congratulations to the lord for gaining a foothold in Jingzhou!"
A cheerful smile appeared on Liu Bei's face.
The shadow of his defeat in Xuzhou and his helplessness had been swept away at this time.
"Lord, military advisor"
"Although Wancheng was destroyed, Zhang Xiu still commanded the main force of the enemy army in the Rang County area. If he learned that Zhang Jicheng had been defeated and died, he would definitely lead his army to recapture it."
"Zhang Xiu is the commander of the Xiliang Army's main elite division. If we try our best to seize it, we may still have a tough battle to fight."
Zhang Liao reminded from the side.
The smile on Liu Bei's face faded, and his nerves suddenly became tense again.
It is gratifying to capture Wancheng, but this battle mainly relied on Deng Mu's wisdom rather than his true strength. This is also a fact.
If you compare with Zhang Xiu , To be honest, he may not be sure of victory.
"Ziyu and Wen Yuan were extremely concerned that it would be easy to capture Wancheng, but it would be difficult to defend Wancheng."
Liu Bei looked at Deng Mu, with a hint of fear in his brows.
But Deng Mu looked as usual and said lightly:
"Don't worry, my lord, if Zhang Xiu dares to take Wancheng back, just let him come."
"Mu had his own means, and he could make his army fall apart without even using a single soldier."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's eyes were surprised.
Liu Bei looked happy and asked hurriedly:"What good strategy does Ziyu have?"
Deng Mu took his time and explained the plan.
Liu Bei suddenly realized, and the cloud of fear on his face disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Ziyu, you are a soldier who subdues others without fighting!"
"This plan is so clever at attacking people's hearts!"
Liu Bei nodded heavily and admired.
At that time, Old Liu sent an order and acted according to Deng Mu's plan. In the evening,
Wancheng returned to peace.
Zhang Ji was born in Xiliang, and his ruling methods were extremely cruel. The people of Wancheng suffered deeply, and people People were frightened.
Now that they heard that Zhang Ji died suddenly and Wancheng changed hands, they all clapped their hands and felt relieved.
And when they learned that the new owner was Liu Xuande, who had a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, they were even more overjoyed.
Liu Bei didn't even need to worry about it. By many means, relying on his own reputation, he quickly appeased the people of Wancheng.
When the lanterns were hung high, Deng Mu returned to his mansion.
This mansion was originally Zhang Xiu's mansion, second only to the county mansion. After that, the most magnificent house in Wancheng.
As soon as Liu Bei entered the city, he gave the order in his busy schedule and specially gave this house to Deng Mu to live in.
"Brother, this house is Zhang Xiu’s mansion."
"After the Lord was fighting, he actually thought of giving such a mansion to his brother. He was really kind to his brother."
Deng Ai looked at the magnificence of the house and sighed with emotion.
But Deng Mu was not surprised.
Lao Liu is this kind of person. If you treat him well, he will treat you very well.
It's better to show your heart and soul. He is good at planting.
In this aspect, he is similar to Cao Cao, far from being a mean monarch like Sun Shiwan. As soon as he entered the palace, a wedding car came into view.
"How is this going?"
Deng Mu's eyes were puzzled and he looked at Zhou Cang who was stationed first.
Zhou Cang's eyes were mysterious and he chuckled:
"Military Advisor Yide said that Military Advisor, you have worked hard and achieved great results, so he specially sent a gift, which is now inside."
Zhou Cang pursed his lips toward the hall.
"Gift?"
Deng Mu looked at the hall suspiciously.
It's not surprising that Zhang Fei gave him a gift.
But what kind of gift has to be delivered in a wedding car?
So Deng Mu opened the hall door out of curiosity and walked out. He went in.
Then he was stunned.
A beautiful young woman in a wedding dress with a sad face suddenly came into view.
A beauty!
What is this?
Deng Mu couldn't turn the corner for a while.
"This is my military advisor Deng, why don't you come to see me?"
Zhou Cang followed up and shouted at the young woman.
The woman trembled and immediately realized what she was doing. She stood up and stepped forward, saluting Deng Mu Yingying.
"Folk girls pay homage to Military Advisor Deng~~"
Looking at the timid beauty in front of him, Deng Mu finally understood.
I bet Zhang Fei kidnapped a beautiful woman from somewhere after he entered the city and gave it to himself as a gift.
"This Zhang Yide is really... really capable..."
Deng Mu, suddenly enlightened, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
In this era, the status of women was not high to begin with, let alone the troubled times.
Soldiers attacked cities and plundered lands, and abducted women as wives. Being a concubine is a matter of course, and there is no shame in it.
Especially for"vulgar" warriors like Zhang Fei. Historically, his own wife robbed Xia Houyuan's niece who was out chopping firewood during a battle with Cao Jun.
Now that he snatched a beautiful woman and gave it to himself, there is nothing surprising.
But looking at the woman's outfit and the wedding car outside, she should be a bride who was about to get married. Zhang Fei intercepted her on the way. Sent to myself
"Please get up, madam."
Deng Mu then leaned over slightly, helped the girl up, and asked softly:
"My Excellency, Deng Mu, may I ask the lady’s name?"
The girl straightened up and raised her head carefully.
When she saw a handsome young face, she couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Immediately her face turned red, she hurriedly lowered her head again, and said in a low voice:"Zou Yu'er, a civilian girl~~"
Zou Yu'er, Zou... this familiar surname triggered historical memories in Deng Mu's mind
"Your surname is Zou, what is the relationship between Zhang Ji and you?"
Deng Mu immediately asked.
Zou Yu'er didn't dare to hide it, so she could only reply in a trembling voice:
"The daughter of the Zou family was originally intended to be sent to the county government to marry Zhang Ji."
"Who would have thought that he would be intercepted by a general on the way and sent here?"
"The daughter of the people was also forced by Zhang Ji and asked Military Advisor Deng to spare her life.~~"
Zou Yu'er knelt down and begged Deng Mu anxiously for love. as expected.
It turns out that this young girl turned out to be Zhang Xiu's aunt...
(It's only three thousand dollars short of two hundred. Please give me some flowers. It would be better if you can give Zhang a review vote. It's not easy to help Liu Wen. I hope everyone can support and encourage her.!)
