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

"Dark chess? Ziyou, what do you mean?"

Cao Cao hasn't turned a corner yet.

"Naturally, they are Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son."

Cao Yuan smiled slightly and raised his hand to point in the direction of Guangling County.

Cao Cao suddenly realized.

After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Chen Deng came to Xudu in person to express his intention to secretly join.

It was Chen Deng who used secret means to win the victory. He succeeded in driving a wedge between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, causing Lu Bu to break his engagement with Yuan Shu, and the two families met at war.

Until this time, Lu Bu still didn't know that the Chen family's father and son had already betrayed him.

"Sikong Ke sent a secret order to Chen Deng to propose a plan to Lü Bu, saying that he would lead the Guangling County soldiers and horses to attack Xiapi, raise fire as a signal, and cooperate with the inside and outside to lure Lü Bu out of the city and rob the camp."

"At that time, Sikong Ke set up a dragnet to catch the turtle in the urn for Lu Bu."

"If Lu Bu dies, why not worry about not being able to conquer Xiapi."

Cao Yuan took his time and revealed the whole story of his plan.

The advisers and generals in the tent were immediately in high spirits and excited.

Guo Jia happily handed over his hand and said,"Sikong, this move of Military Master Ziyou lured the snake out of the hole. It is indeed a great plan to defeat Xiapi quickly!"

"Ziyou, Ziyou, are you serious?...."

Cao Cao patted Cao Yuan on the shoulder, his eyes filled with surprise and relief. He no longer knew how to express his admiration for his son's wisdom.

Cao Yuan said calmly:"Yuan Shao has destroyed Gongsun Zan, and there is not much time left for us. Sikong, this plan must be implemented as soon as possible.""

"Yes, yes, Ziyou's words make sense."

Cao Cao put away his emotion, waved his hands and shouted:"Mao Jie listens to the order and goes to Guangling County quickly to act according to Ziyou's plan."

"promise!"

Mao Jie took the order and rode a red rabbit horse that night, heading straight for Guangling County at a speed of eight hundred meters at night.

…

Xiapi City, the state capital

"Chen Gong, if you hadn't firmly vowed to encourage me to challenge Cao Cao, how could I have been defeated by the Wolf Cavalry?"

"And you, Liu Bei, if your general Zhao Yun hadn't surrendered Cao Cao's thieves and commanded the cavalry for him, how could I have suffered such a disastrous defeat!"

Lu Bu was furious and directed all the anger of the defeat on Chen Gong and Liu Bei.

Chen Gong was scolded in disgrace and felt aggrieved, but he did not dare to argue.

As an ally, Liu Bei was regarded as a subordinate by Lu Bu, and he tried to cover his face. The open scolding made his heart raging with anger. Guan

Yu's expression on the side changed suddenly, and he had the urge to fight Lu Bu. But

Liu Bei swallowed the humiliation and shook his head at Guan Yu repeatedly, suggesting that he be patient.

After scolding for a long time, Lu Bu just relieved himself a little and drank some wine.

Chen Gong and Liu Bei looked at each other, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Marquis Wen's wolf cavalry was originally invincible, but Cao Cao had no choice."

"But who would have thought that Cao Yuan was so powerful that a mere strategist actually financed Cao Cao with three thousand red rabbit horses and gave him thousands of magical bows!"

"This is completely beyond common sense. There is really no way for Gong to predict it."

Chen Gong then began to excuse himself bitterly and helplessly.

Lu Bu's anger was successfully diverted, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly:"Cao Yuan, Cao Yuan, help that Cao thief to kill my Langqi. This blood debt will be remembered by the Marquis. Sooner or later you will regret it!"

The words just fell.

General Song Xian, his face full of excitement, staggered into the main hall with a secret report in his hand.

"Report to Marquis Wen, good news, great news!"

"Yuan Shao has destroyed Gongsun Zan, and the whole of Hebei belongs to Yuan Shao!"

This piece of news instantly swept away the gloom in the lobby.

Lu Bu jumped up, rushed down the stairs in a few steps, and snatched the secret report from Song Xian's hand.

After a few glances, the look on Lu Bu's face Anger turned into endless ecstasy

"God helps me, God helps me Lu Bu, hahaha——"

Wild laughter resounded in the hall. Lu Bu held the secret report in his hand and was so happy that he danced for joy.

Liu Bei also cheered up and breathed a sigh of relief.

The generals were all excited and overjoyed.

After Yuan Shao unified Hebei, the next natural step was to send his troops south to fight Cao Cao in the north and south.

At this time, Cao Cao naturally had no time to besiege Xiapi anymore, so he could only withdraw his troops back to Xudu and prepare to face Yuan Shao.

How could they not be overjoyed when they saw the hope of resolving the crisis?

"Yuan Gong unified Hebei, which is indeed great news."

"However, he had just defeated Gongsun Zan, and it would still take him three to five months from integrating Youzhou to gathering troops to go south."

"In order to ensure that Xuzhou's hidden dangers are eliminated, Cao Cao will launch a crazy siege to defeat my Xiapi within two months."

"The palace is only afraid that with the thousands of demoralized remnant soldiers in our hands, we can withstand the fierce attack of Cao's thieves."

Chen Gong's brows were still furrowed, and he poured cold water on everyone.

Lu Bu's wild laughter stopped abruptly.

The generals' expressions were shocked, and their faces were suddenly covered with shadows.

Liu Bei rolled his eyes, cupped his hands and said:" Marquis Wen, without further delay, please go north to Qingzhou immediately and ask for help from Mr. Yuan. Only if he is willing to send troops south to Xuzhou can we defend until Cao Cao's thieves retreat."

"Xuande's words make sense. Marquis Wen, please ask Yuan Tan for help!"

Chen Gong immediately agreed.

Lu Bu sat down slowly, his face was ashen, his fists were clenched, and he did not make any statement.

"After his father escaped from Chang'an, he attached himself to Yuan Shao and helped Yuan Shao defeat Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army."

"It was just that Yuan Shao was narrow-minded, fearful of his handsome father, and wanted to kill his handsome father, so he forced his handsome father to run away."

"Now we are asking the Yuan family for help, will they come to help?"

Lu Lingqi saw what he was thinking, and pointed out Lu Bu's concerns to everyone.

Chen Gong said hurriedly:"Yuan Gongxiong is so talented, how can he sit back and watch Xuzhou fall into the hands of Cao's thieves? The palace predicts that he will ignore the past grudges and make Yuan Da. The young master sent troops to rescue him"

"Bei once promoted Young Master Yuan as a talented person, and he is willing to go to Qingzhou in person. He will definitely be able to convince Young Master Yuan to lead his army south to rescue Xiapi!"

Liu Bei also volunteered.

Lu Bu clutched the Hebei emergency report tightly, frowning, but never said a word.

When Yuan Shao came to Jizhou, he openly despised his character and wanted to kill him. This made He holds a great grudge against Yuan Shao.

Now that he is a prince, he has managed to be on equal footing with Yuan Shao, yet he has to humble himself and ask for help from Yuan Shao. Where will his dignity be?

"Apart from asking Yuan Shao for help, is there no other way to defend Xiapi City? Lu

Bu asked in a depressed tone.

Chen Gong sighed:"With the current strength and morale of the troops, there is no chance of holding Xiapi for a month or two, but the hope is slim."

Liu Bei also advised:"Yes, Marquis Wen, it is too risky to defend Xiapi with our own strength, so we should ask Duke Yuan for help.""

Lu Bu secretly gritted his teeth, but still refused to let go.

At this moment, the bodyguard hurried in holding a secret message in his hand.

"Informing Marquis Wen, Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, sent his confidants to enter the city before Cao Jun's siege and sent a secret letter in his own handwriting."

Chen Deng's secret letter!

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the secret letter.

After reading it carefully, the clouds on Lu Bu's face dissipated again, and he once again put on an ecstatic smile.

"Chen Yuanlong, Chen Yuanlong, you are really my timely help."

"I have you, why do I need to bow to Yuan Shao for help? This is really God helping me, Lu Bu, hahaha——"

Lu Bu's wild laughter sounded again in the hall.

Chen Gong and Liu Bei looked shocked and looked at each other secretly, but their eyes were blank.
