Three Kingdoms: The identity of the financial master behind the scenes was exposed by Cao Cao

"What, Qier, say it again? Lu

Bu stared and shouted, thinking that he had heard wrong just now.

Lu Lingqi jumped off the horse, stepped forward and held up her hands:"Father, Cao Cao defeated Xiaopei yesterday, there is no need for us to save him anymore.""

Lu Bu shook the wine bag in his hand, and shock immediately appeared on his face.

Next to him, Chen Gong and Sun Qian also looked shocked.

Sun Qian jumped up and exclaimed:"This is impossible, my lord still has two thousand soldiers. Ma, how could Cao's bandit capture Xiaopei so quickly with only 6,000 soldiers?"

"Yes, even though Liu Xuande was a mediocre general, he wouldn't have fallen to Xiaopei so quickly?"

"That thief Cao is the best at deception. Could it be that he used some trick?"

Lü Bu had suffered from Cao Cao's losses, so he speculated like this.

"Father, do you still remember the Cao Yuan you asked your daughter to inquire about?"

Lu Lingqi asked back.

Lu Bu rolled his eyes slightly and recalled the name Cao Yuan.

When Lu Lingqi returned from selling her horse, she was intercepted by Zhang Fei on the way and was rescued by Cao Yuan. The fisherman profited and took away three horses. Hundreds of good horses.

Lu Lingqi realized at that time that this Cao Yuan was unusual, so she secretly sent people to follow him to Fengcheng to monitor, and learned of Cao Yuan's plan to severely damage Liu Bei's invading masterpiece.

After Lu Lingqi returned to Xiapi, she asked Lu Bu mentioned Cao Yuan's unusualness.

When Lu Bu heard that Cao Yuan was quite resourceful and a minor official in Cao's camp, he sent Lu Lingqi to recruit him and wanted to use him.

This man did not come back, but Lu Lingqi brought him received news of the fall of Xiaopei

"If Xiaopei falls, what does it have to do with Cao Yuan? Lu

Bu wondered.

"Of course it matters"

"The commander-in-chief would never have imagined that this Cao Yuan was the mysterious man behind Cao Cao as rumored."

"Now he has been made public by Cao Cao and has taken a high position as Cao Cao's military advisor."

"It was this man's alienation plan that forced the Mi Zhu brothers to rebel, allowing Cao Cao to capture Xiaopei almost without a single blow!"

Lu Lingqi told the truth about Xiaopei's fall.

When she mentioned Cao Yuan, her tone was even more solemn, showing her inner fear.

Lu Bu suddenly changed his color.

Sun Qian and Chen Gong were even more shocked.

"Are you saying that this Cao Yuan is the man who everyone in the world has speculated is the man behind the Cao thief who has all the plans?"

Lu Bu couldn't believe it, so he asked again for confirmation.

Lu Lingqi nodded heavily:"It's this person. My daughter couldn't believe it at first. Such a strange person could be a mere warehouse official, and he actually robbed my daughter of three hundred dollars. Horse."

Lu Bu fell silent, his eyes changing constantly, struggling to digest this incredible fact.

After a while,

Lu Bu struck out with a horizontal punch, knocking down a big tree as thick as a wrist next to him.

Everyone was shocked.

"This Cao Yuan actually chose to assist the Cao thief. It is really hateful.~~"

Lu Bu clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

"Lord Wen!"

"The city of Xiaopei has been destroyed, and my lord's life or death is uncertain. I beg Marquis Wen to lead his army north immediately to save my lord!"

Sun Qian knelt on the ground and began to plead with tears.

But Lu Bu said impatiently:"The city has been destroyed, and your lord must have died in the hands of the Cao thieves. If I go to Xiaopei again, my trip will not be in vain!"

Sun Qian was shocked, lost his mind and at a loss.

At this moment, the scouts from the front rushed over and shouted:"Inform Marquis Wen, Liu Bei and his brother Guan Yu led more than a hundred remaining soldiers to join Marquis Wen.!"

Liu Bei is still alive!

Sun Qian was so happy that his tears turned into ecstasy.

"This Liu Da'er actually escaped with his life. His life is really tough....."

Lu Bu's eyes were surprised, and a hint of sarcasm flashed between his brows.

So, he ordered 10,000 Lu soldiers to set up camp on the spot.

In the evening, the Chinese army opened its tent.

Lu Bu had already held a small banquet to calm Liu Bei's shock.

"I said, brother Xuande, you are too useless. You can’t hold on for one more day."

"I have been working day and night to rescue you. You only need to wait for one more day and you will be able to wait for my army."

Lü Bu's words clearly showed his contempt for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei looked embarrassed.

Guan Yu's eyes widened, and he was immediately angered by Lu Bu. He wanted to get angry on the spot.

Liu Bei coughed a few times, hinting that Guan Yu should not be impulsive.

Guan Yu had to press down hard. I got angry and swallowed this resentment back into my stomach.

I had no choice but to rely on others. I could only endure this grievance with tears.

"There is nothing to fear from Cao Cao's thieves. Bei could have waited for Marquis Wen's reinforcements."

"Unexpectedly, the two thieves, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, were ungrateful and betrayed Bei. They opened the city gate and let Cao thieves into the city, causing Xiaopei to fall!"

Liu Bei put the blame for the defeat on the Mi brothers.

But Lu Bu asked curiously:"How did I hear that it was Cao Cao's military advisor who took your fiancée as a concubine, so that you fell into his divorce plan and forced you to rebel? Only after losing brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang did we lose Xiao Pei?"

Lu Lingqi couldn't help but laugh after hearing her father's words.

Her handsome father didn't give Liu Bei any face, and exposed all the embarrassing black information about Liu Bei to his face.

Liu Bei's face was red, his fists were secretly clenched, and he felt He was slapped by Lu Bu in public.

Guan Yu was so angry that his teeth almost broke. He almost jumped up and fought to the death with Lu Bu.

After feeling resentful for a long time, Liu Bei took a deep breath and forced the button down. anger

"Cao Yuan, this thief, is indeed despicable and shameless in his methods."

"But Marquis Wen underestimated Bei too much. Although Bei was not talented, he would not easily fall into that kid's trick just because of a woman."

"The rebellion of the two thieves Mi Zhu was nothing more than the profit-seeking nature of their businessmen. Seeing that the situation was in danger, they forgot their own interests."

Liu Bei pretended to be calm and gave a seemingly impeccable explanation.

Lu Bu had ridiculed him, but he didn't want to offend Liu Bei too much, so he laughed and asked Liu Bei to pour wine.

Liu Bei's embarrassment was relieved a little, and he was secretly relieved. I was about to drink a glass of wine.

At this moment,

Zhang Liao, the general of the Ministry, hurriedly entered the account.

"Report to Marquis Wen, I have just sent a secret report from Xiaopei. Cao Cao captured Liu Shijun's generals Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun alive."

"Cao Cao, under the persuasion of his military advisor Cao Yuan, killed Zhang Fei and hung his head under the city tower."

"Then Zhao Yun was also persuaded by Cao Yuan to surrender and submit to Cao Cao!"

Bang!

Liu Bei's hand shook, and the wine glass that had just been brought to his mouth fell from his hand.
