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

Zhang Fei was killed by Cao Cao?

Or was he killed under Cao Yuan's persuasion?

For a moment, Liu Bei's figure froze and his expression was in a trance, as if he had lost his soul.

Guan Yu next to him also had a red face and a stunned look in his eyes.

Although the two of them had a tacit understanding, they were mentally prepared for Zhang Fei's sacrifice.

But when the bad news came true, the two of them were still shocked and stunned, unable to accept this cruel fact.

"Yide, Yide~~"

Liu Bei was the first to wake up, fell on the desk, and burst into tears.

"Third brother, third brother~~"

Guan Yu also cried loudly, with tears streaming down his face.

Sun Qian also cried silently, wanting to comfort him but not knowing how to speak.

This news also surprised Lu Bu.

Originally, among Liu Bei's three brothers, the one he hated the most was Zhang Fei from Yan.

From the time he came to join Liu Bei, Zhang Fei disliked him and clamored all day long to persuade Liu Bei to kill him.

The man named Zhang earlier was so bold that he dared to steal the horse he bought from Hanoi.

Now that Liu Bei was in despair and came to seek refuge, Lu Bu was ready to take this matter to task and force Liu Bei to ask Zhang Fei to bow his head to him and admit his mistake.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei was killed by Cao Cao just like that!

Lu Bu's resentment immediately disappeared. Seeing the grief of brother Liu Guan, he felt a little sympathy.

"Brother Xuande, there is no resurrection after death, so please forgive me."

Lu Bu patted Liu Bei's shoulder and actually comforted him.

"Yide, ah Yide, you and I are sworn brothers in Taoyuan, and we have agreed to live and die together, but you were killed by those two cao, so you left first for your brother!"

"You're dead, what's the point of living for my brother!"

"Yide, my Yide~~"

But Liu Bei couldn't listen to the consolation, and he cried even more sadly, almost fainting from crying.

Guan Yu, who was equally sad and angry at first, had to calm down and comforted Liu Bei instead.

"Liu Xuande is really a benevolent and righteous gentleman who values ​​love and justice. I really felt sorry for him when I robbed him of Xuzhou....."

Lu Bu was also deeply moved by Liu Bei's brotherly love, and felt a little guilty in his heart.

"brush!"

The wailing Liu Bei suddenly unsheathed his sword and cut it on his neck.

He actually wanted to commit suicide.

"Xuande, calm down! Lu

Bu's expression changed, and he clamped Liu Bei's arm.

Guan Yu also changed his expression in shock, and rushed forward to complain to Liu Bei. He cried and persuaded:"Brother, you must not commit suicide!""

"When Yide and I became sworn brothers, we made an oath to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day!"

"How can I, Liu Bei, be a dishonest and unjust person? Since my virtue has gone, I should follow me to hell!"

"Don't try to stop me, just get out of my way!"

Liu Bei was generous and tragic, and he tried his best to get rid of Lu Bu and Guan Yu.

"Of course we cannot fail to keep our vows of friendship!"

"It's just that the eldest brother shoulders the important responsibility of supporting the Han Dynasty. If he just goes like this, wouldn't he be ignoring the people of the world and the country of the Han Dynasty!"

"Yide is under Jiuquan, and he doesn't want to see his eldest brother like this!"

Guan Yu clung to Liu Bei and tried to persuade him.

Lu Bu also advised:"Xuande, instead of committing suicide, it is better to remain useful so that you can kill the traitor Cao and avenge your sworn brother!""

The two men's persuasion seemed to enlighten Liu Bei, and he stopped struggling.

"What Marquis Wen said makes sense, Yide cannot die in vain, I will kill Cao Cao and Cao Yuan to avenge him!"

"If not, even if I follow him, I won't be able to see him on the road to hell!"

The tears on Liu Bei's face put away, and in a blink of an eye they turned into endless revenge and anger.

Suddenly, he bowed deeply to Lu Bu:"Please Wenhou immediately send troops to the north, while Cao Cao has just captured Xiaopei, and his footing is not stable, and in one fell swoop, Kill the thief Cao!"

Liu Bei actually bowed to Lu Bu.

Guan Yu saw this and felt humiliated in his heart.

Just to avenge Zhang Fei, he could only endure the humiliation and kneel down with Liu Bei.

Lu Bu's lips slanted, and a flash in his eyes A touch of irony.

What these two people have in mind is beauty. They want to use his hand to fight with Cao Cao and avenge his brother. Are you stupid to think that I am a prince? You are disdainful in your heart.

But Lu Bu said seriously on his face:"Don't worry, Xuande." , based on our friendship, this enemy will definitely avenge you. You should go down and rest first, and we will discuss it in the long term."

Liu Bei's eyes were not healed, and he was hit by Zhang Fei's death. He was already exhausted physically and mentally, so he had to retire first with the help of Guan Yu and Sun Qian.

"That old thief Cao Cao really obeyed Cao Yuan's words. A fierce general like Zhang Fei was willing to kill him at any time!"

Lü Bu clicked his tongue in surprise.

There was a hint of appreciation for Cao Yuan between his brows.

"This man is a genius in the world. My daughter originally wanted to recruit him to be used by her father, but unexpectedly he chose to assist Cao Cao."

"We were a step too late after all, which was a pity."

Lu Lingqi shook her head and sighed, with a bit of regret in her eyes.

"That’s not necessarily the case! Lu

Bu shouted:"Lingqi, go to Xiaopei quickly to persuade Cao Yuan to abandon Cao Cao and join his father's army!""

Lu Lingqi was shocked. She didn't expect that for this reason, Lu Bu wanted to recruit Cao Yuan.

"Cao Yuan was appointed as military advisor by Cao Cao and ranked first among counselors. This shows that Cao Cao valued him."

"At this point, there is little hope of convincing him to join his father."

Lu Lingqi frowned and looked embarrassed.

"Whether there is hope or not, you won’t know until you try it."

Lü Bu had murderous intent in his eyes, and said coldly:"If he really doesn't know how to appreciate others, just kill him directly. This will also count as getting rid of Cao Cao's right-hand man! Lu

Lingqi shuddered slightly and hesitated for a moment.

After all, Cao Yuan had saved her life once, so he was kind to her.

"As a father, don’t you understand? Seeing her hesitation, Lu

Bu glared.

"My daughter knew what to do. Lu

Lingqi hurriedly accepted the order.

Lu Bu was satisfied.

Then, he looked at Chen Gong and said,"Gongtai, now Xiaopei has been captured by Cao's thieves. I intend to retreat back to Xiapi. What do you think?""

"When tens of thousands of Cao's thieves arrive at Xiaopei, they will not be satisfied with just destroying one Liu Bei. They will take advantage of the victory to capture Xiaopi and swallow up the entire Xuzhou."

"If Marquis Wen retreats to Xiaopi, he will fall into a passive situation of being beaten, and the consequences are unimaginable!"

Chen Gong, who had been silent all this time, immediately denied Lu Bu's intention to retreat.

Lu Bu nodded slightly:"Then according to Gongtai's wishes, should I lead the army to continue heading north to Xiaopei?"

The corner of Chen Gong's mouth raised a sneer.

"Although Liu Bei was a mediocre general, he said something right. Cao Cao had just captured Xiaopei and his foothold was not yet stable."

"He currently has only 6,000 soldiers and horses, but we have 15,000 soldiers and horses. The advantage lies with us."

"If we go north at this time, we will definitely be able to defeat the few with a large number, defeat the Cao thieves in one fell swoop, and recover Xiaopei!"

Chen Gong spoke eloquently and confidently.

Lu Bu's spirit perked up, and murderous intent ignited in his eyes.

"Cao Cao has just captured Xiaopei, and he must be arrogant and arrogant. If we pretend to retreat to Xiapi, we will definitely make Cao Cao's thieves relax their vigilance."

"However, Marquis Wen led a light army and marched northward on a starry night. He unexpectedly attacked Cao's army at night and was sure to win in one fell swoop! Chen

Gong stroked his short beard and offered a plan.

Lu Bu was overjoyed and said happily:"Okay, let's act according to Gongtai's plan!""

At this time,

Lu Lingqi reminded:"Commander Father, Cao Cao has Cao Yuan by his side. If he sees through Gongtai's plan, Commander Father will go there this time.A snare?"

The joy on Lu Bu's face disappeared, a bit of fear could not help but form between his eyebrows, and he turned to look at Chen Gong again.

"Cao Yuan is indeed very resourceful, but after all, he is a man and not a god. I don't believe that he can really make every plan!"

"Marquis Wen, I am 70% sure of this plan. Cao Yuan's plan cannot be seen through!"

Chen Gong's face was full of confidence, as if he wanted to compete with Cao Yuan in a battle of wits.

Lu Bu was silent for a moment.

The hesitation in his eyes disappeared.

Lu Bu said proudly:"Cao Yuan is very resourceful, but I don't believe in evil. I don't believe it. He really knows everything, so I want to take a gamble!"
