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

These captives are all strong and powerful. Even if we do not recruit them, we should never release them easily to strengthen Chen Ba's military strength.

However, direct execution is not a wise move.

Deng Mu saw through his confusion, sneered, and explained:

"Although there are as many as 3,000 of these people, even if they are all recruited, our overall military strength will not be significantly enhanced.

On the contrary, if we let them go, they will become our mouthpieces and convey the majesty of our Han to the pseudo-Chen!"

After hearing this, Taishi Ci woke up from a dream and admired Deng Mu's wisdom.

After Deng Mu left some troops to guard the grain camp in the east of the city, he personally led the elite cavalry and galloped towards Yulin City.

However, when he returned triumphantly, he learned that Chen Ba had appointed Wen Tong and 3,000 elite soldiers to defend Yulin, posing as a posture of defending an isolated city to the death.

Faced with this situation, Taishi Ci and other generals were eager to fight, and they all asked Deng Mu to capture Yulin City in one fell swoop.

However, Deng Mu did not rush to order an attack.

"Will the general defending the city be Wen Tong?"

Deng Mu fell into deep thought, thinking of the previously captured Wen Tai, and had a plan in mind.

He did not rush to attack the city, but ordered the entire army to set up camp around Yulin City, tightly besieging the gate of this pseudo-Chen and isolating it from the outside world.

In the evening, the camp was filled with smoke and the aroma of wine. The soldiers raised their glasses and drank, laughing and talking, celebrating this great victory together.

In the main tent, Deng Mu sat in the main seat.

After a few glasses of wine, he ordered Wen Tai to be brought into the tent. Soon, several personal soldiers escorted the bloodstained Wen Tai into the big tent.

Wen Tai's knees softened, and he knelt down in front of Deng Mu as if he had lost his soul. His eyes were full of awe and helplessness, and he was obviously deeply shocked by Deng Mu's wisdom and courage.

Deng Mu waved his hand and ordered people to untie Wen Tai's shackles.

After regaining his freedom, Wen Tai still knelt there powerlessly, and did not even dare to look up and look at Deng Mu.

But Deng Mu personally helped him up and handed him a glass of wine:

"Drink this wine to calm your mind."

Wen Tai took the wine glass with trembling hands and slowly raised his head.

In addition to fear and uneasiness, his eyes also revealed deep guilt.

At the beginning, he pretended to be drunk and eavesdropped on Deng Mu's conversation, but fell into the other party's trap and became an accomplice of the alienation plan.

Now facing Deng Mu's tolerance and generosity, how could he not feel ashamed?

"Prime Minister..."

Wen Tai's voice was choked with sobs and he didn't know how to speak.

Deng Mu patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"You are good at water battles and are brave and courageous.

It is not a shame to be plotted against by me. You don't need to blame yourself too much."

Wen Tai was grateful for these words. He never dreamed that Deng Mu would comfort him so magnanimously. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

He knelt down in front of Deng Mu again and resolutely expressed his submission:

"The Prime Minister is truly wise and powerful!

I am willing to submit to the Prime Minister and serve the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

Deng Mu gladly accepted Wen Tai's surrender.

He not only valued Wen Tai's bravery and fighting skills, but also hoped to shake the minds of other generals of the Pseudo-Chen through this move.

As a senior general of the Pseudo-Chen, Wen Tai had a great reputation in the army. His surrender would undoubtedly have a far-reaching impact on other generals.

"With your help, there is no worry that we cannot pacify the Pseudo-Chen and unify half of Jiangnan!"

Deng Mu helped Wen Tai up and laughed.

At this moment, Wen Tai's admiration and submission to Deng Mu were from the bottom of his heart and without reservation.

He was grateful and said firmly:

"The Prime Minister is like a god descended to the world. I, Wen Tai, will be loyal to the emperor of the Han Dynasty and will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"Without hesitation!"

These four words showed the determination of Wen Tai, the pseudo-Chen naval general. He finally chose to submit to Liu Bei.

A satisfied smile appeared on Deng Mu's face. .
