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

Just when Lu Lingqi was distracted, 40,000 Cao troops launched and were approaching.

Ten thousand soldiers and soldiers, the morale of the army collapsed, and they began to retreat from Xiapi City.

Lu Lingqi reacted and was too late to suppress the collapse.

She glanced around and found that brothers Liu Bei and Guan Yu had taken the lead and fled.

"Liu Daer, you ran away really fast!"

Lu Lingqi gritted her teeth and cursed secretly.

She was defeated like a mountain, and she had no way to recover. She could only follow the defeated army and fled to Xiapi.

The battlefield ahead.

Lu Bu was still fighting with Zhao Yun.

The two fought bloody battles for fifty times, ranking No. 1 in the world. With his martial arts skills, he finally began to suppress Zhao Yun.

After another hundred moves, Lu Bu was confident that he would be able to defeat Zhao Yun.

But when he glanced around distractedly, he was surprised to find that the two thousand wolf cavalry were dead and injured.

And in front of him, countless Cao troops The infantry just happened to come in like a torrent.

Looking back behind him, the ten thousand infantry he held in the formation collapsed before he even got his order to retreat.

A disastrous defeat was a foregone conclusion.

Lu Bu's ambition and arrogance also followed. Fall apart

"Zhao Yun, if I send you your head today, I will kill you in the future!"

Lü Bu dropped a harsh word and attacked Zhao Yun with several halberds.

Then he turned the red rabbit around, jumped out of the battle group, and fled with the defeated army.

Zhao Yun shouted coldly:"Lü Bu, don't leave if you have the guts, you and I will fight. life and death!"

He galloped wildly, leading his red horse followers, chasing Xiapi City all the way. By the Sishui River, the wilderness was already stained with blood.

…

Cao Jun's camp.

At this moment, Cao Yuan was sitting in the tent, holding a carving knife in his hand and carving a piece of wood.

The table is already covered with small squares. This is the result of his half-day.

"Husband, you win!"

"Uncle, he won!"

My wife Xia Houjuan, with joy written all over her pretty face, rushed into the tent.

"Did you win? What was the result?"

Cao Yuan kept his eyes on the carving knife in his hand and asked casually.

"Husband, the Zhao Zilong you recommended is indeed a good general who is proficient in cavalry warfare."

"And the divine arm bow you presented to your uncle is truly the best divine bow in the world!"

"Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was completely wiped out, and his uncle took advantage of the victory to pursue him. He was already surrounded by soldiers in Pi City!"

Xia Houjuan excitedly told the result of this battle.

"Are all the wolf knights wiped out? Well, it seems that this divine arm bow is still of some use."

Cao Yuan nodded slightly, as if he had expected the outcome, and was not at all surprised.

Xia Houjuan asked curiously:"Husband, can you tell me how you managed to get those three thousand dollars quietly? Zhang Shen Gong?"

"Well... don't mention it"

"Madam, come on, come on, come and help me, let's try to finish this mahjong today."

Cao Yuan pulled Xia Houjuan to sit down and shifted her attention from the divine arm bow to the mahjong tiles on the table.

"numb...Mahjong?"

As expected, Xia Houjuan was successfully diverted.

She picked up a piece and saw strange patterns engraved on this small square.

Some were circles, some were strips, and some were engraved with southeast, northwest, middle....

"Husband, what is this?"

Xia Houjuan looked at his husband blankly.

"This thing is called mahjong. It is a new game created by my husband. It is called playing mahjong."

"This game is much more interesting than Landlord. We are tired of playing Landlord, so we just want to try something new."

Cao Yuan continued to carve mahjong tiles while explaining to his wife how to play mahjong.

Xia Houjuan was successfully aroused.

The couple divided the labor and cooperated, one was responsible for carving mahjong tiles, and the other was responsible for carving mahjong tiles. Responsible for dyeing and carving patterns.

At nightfall, a table of mahjong tiles was finally completed.

Cao Yuan was so addicted to tiles that he didn't even bother to eat dinner, so he sent someone to invite Mi Zhen and Xiao Qiao. The four of them were good They gathered together at a table and rubbed it several times.

At this moment,

Xu Chu entered the tent and said:"Ziyou, Duke Cao just sent his personal guards here to tell you to go to Xiapi immediately."

"Lu Bu's Wolf Cavalry has been wiped out, so why rush to ask me to go this late at night? Can't you do it tomorrow? I've just made mahjong, and I'm still waiting to get addicted to playing cards."

Cao Yuan said a little bit, not wanting to move.

"Mahjong?"

Xu Chu stared at the squares on the table.

After being stunned for a moment, he remembered the business and said helplessly:"I don't want to go to Xiapi with you so late at night, but Cao Gong said that there is something urgent, so it must be urgent. I summon you to discuss"

"Boss Cao has spoken, can you still not go? You are working as a worker to earn your living....."

Cao Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, so he had no choice but to press the card first, and under the protection of Xu Chu, rushed to Xiapi ten miles away overnight.

At this time, 40,000 Cao's troops had arrived at Xiapi and began to set up camp around the city.

Cao Yuan arrived at the camp and went straight to the Chinese army's tent.

As soon as he entered the big tent, a solemn atmosphere hit his face.

Cao Cao frowned, and his advisers and generals also had serious expressions.

This atmosphere seems quite incompatible with the big victory just now.

Cao Yuan immediately guessed what was going on, so he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said,"Sikong called me here overnight. Could it be that the battle in Youzhou has already concluded?" When

Cao Cao saw his son arriving, his brows immediately relaxed a bit.

"Ziyou, as expected, no war situation in the world can escape your control."

After admiring, Cao Cao said seriously:"It is true that urgent news has just been sent back from Youzhou. Yuan Shao has captured Yijing a few days ago. Gongsun Zan committed suicide by setting fire. The four states in Hebei belong to Yuan Benchu."

As expected.

At this time, the only one who can make Cao Cao so fearful is Yuan Shao.

"Gongsun Zan was overthrown and Yuan Shao sent his troops south. It would only take two or three months at most."

"From this point of view, we have to kill Lu Bu and completely pacify Xuzhou within a month or two."

Cao Yuan said lightly.

"That's why I urgently called you here"

"Although Lu Bu suffered heavy losses in this battle, the Bingzhou Langqi army was also wiped out.No longer capable of fighting"

"But he still has more than 5,000 remaining soldiers in his hands. If he is determined to defend Xiapi, our army will besiege the city and attack it. It will take at least three to five months to break the city."

"But now that Yuan Shao has unified Hebei, I'm afraid he won't give us so much time to besiege Xiapi."

Cao Cao expressed his concerns with a worried look on his face.

Cao Yuan understood what Cao Cao meant and asked with a smile:"Sikong called me here overnight, doesn't he want to ask me how to defeat Xiapi quickly?"

"if not. Cao

Cao smiled bitterly and said:"I have been discussing with Fengxiao and the others for a long time, but I can't think of a perfect strategy for the moment. After thinking about it, you are the only one who has the ability to defeat Xiapi quickly.""

"Sikong, this is really embarrassing for me. Let me think about it....."

Cao Yuan tapped his forehead with his fingertips, his thoughts racing.

Cao Cao and the generals in Cao's camp all focused their attention on Cao Yuan, wondering what clever plan this strategist could come up with this time.

He pondered for a long time.

A flash of light flashed in Cao Yuan's eyes, and he sneered:"Did Sikong forget that you laid a secret chess piece in Xuzhou earlier? Now, it's time to make this chess piece work."
