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

Chen Gong?

The traitor in Yanzhou who stabbed him in the back and almost forced him to a dead end.

At such a critical moment, a secret message suddenly arrived?

Cao Cao was curious and accepted the so-called secret letter.

After opening the letter and reading it, Cao Cao was surprised.

This is actually a letter of surrender!

Chen Gong not only begged him for forgiveness and surrender, but also leaked the secret to him, claiming that Lu Bu and Chen Deng would raise fire as a signal to attack the camp at night tomorrow night.

Cao Cao thought he was dazzled, so he looked at the handwriting carefully.

It is undoubtedly Chen Gong’s handwriting.

"Chen Gongtai, Chen Gongtai, do you finally regret it and want to re-join me?..."

Cao Cao laughed sarcastically and showed the secret letter to Cao Yuan and Guo Jia.

After Guo Jia saw it, he sneered and said:"This Chen Gong still wants to betray Lu Bu in order to surrender. He would never have thought in his wildest dreams that this was a trap set by Military Advisor Ziyou for Lu Bu."

Cao Cao laughed.

"Meng De, Chen Gong is a repeating and dishonest villain. The rebellion in Yanzhou almost drove you to a dead end."

"Now that he has run out of mountains and rivers, he only thinks of returning. How can you tolerate him?"

Xia Houyuan hated Chen Gong deeply and opposed Cao Cao's acceptance of his surrender.

All the generals were angry and hated Chen Gong.

After all, Chen Gong's rebellion in Yanzhou nearly wiped out their group.

Cao Cao said:" I know you hate Chen Gong, but this man is very resourceful and a rare talent. If he can really repent and make meritorious deeds, I will forgive him for his past sins."

This is another case of his talent-loving disease.

Even if a great talent like Chen Gong had betrayed him, he would not be willing to kill him.

The generals knew that Cao Cao loved talents, and seeing that he was determined to surrender Chen Gong, he could not help but be opposed to

"Sikong has a heroic spirit and can forgive Chen Gong's previous sins, but Chen Gong may not really have the heart to repent."

Cao Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke with a sneer.

He has lived in two generations, but he is familiar with Chen Gong's past and future, but he clearly remembers that even if Lu Bu is destroyed and Chen Gong is captured, he would rather die than surrender to Cao Cao.

Now Xia Pi City How could Chen Gong take the initiative to ask for surrender before he was defeated and reached a desperate situation?

Cao Cao became alert and asked suspiciously:"Then according to Yi Ziyuan's opinion, could it be that Chen Gong is pretending to surrender?""

"It's not necessarily a false surrender. I think he wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife!"

"Kill someone with a borrowed knife? Who to kill?

Cao Yuan put down the secret letter and sneered:"Of course I borrowed Sikong's sword to kill Lu Bu.""

Cao Cao looked shocked and failed to understand the deeper meaning of his words.

Guo Jia suddenly realized it and said in surprise:"Zi Yuan's military advisor may have speculated that Chen Gong wanted to rebel and seize power, so he deliberately leaked Lu Bu's plan to rob the camp. Let us be prepared and let Lu Bu seek death?"

Cao Yuan sneered and said nothing, acquiescing to Guo Jia's speculation.

Guo Jia took a breath and frowned.："If this is true, this Chen Gong is really ruthless. Lu Bu is his lord, and he actually wants to kill Lu Bu!"

"Lu Bu and Chen Gong, they just had common interests and were living together."

"Chen Gong may not regard Lu Bu as his lord, nor may Lu Bu regard Chen Gong as his confidant."

"Now that the disaster is approaching and they are separated, it is not surprising that they betray each other."

Cao Yuan said disapprovingly.

If Guo Jiaruo realized something, he couldn't help but look ashamed and sighed:"Master Ziyou's ability to see into people's hearts is unparalleled."

Cao Yuan had no choice but to laugh at Guo Jia's compliment.

"Wow!"

Cao Cao, suddenly enlightened, tore the secret letter from Chen Gong in his hand to pieces.

"Chen Gong, Chen Gong, you are a cruel and merciless villain, if Ziyou hadn’t reminded you, I would have almost mistrusted you again!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, and his eyes were full of disgust.

At this moment, he no longer had any intention of surrendering to Chen Gong, and just wanted to kill him quickly.

Cao Yuan sneered and said,"Chen Gong thinks he is right, so let's use his plan to kill Lu Bu first. Just deal with him later."

Murderous intent surged in Cao Cao's eyes, and he said sternly:"Zi You's words are right, I want to kill Lu Bu, and I want to kill that villain Chen Gong too!"

…

The next day, it was night.

Xiapi East Gate.

Three thousand elite Lu troops have gathered under the city gate.

Lu Bu stood at the top of the city holding a halberd in his hand, looking in the direction of Cao Ying.

Lu Lingqi, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun all stood behind them.

"Commander-in-Chief, are we really going to rob Cao Ying? Lu

Lingqi hesitated again and again, then stepped forward and asked.

Lu Bu glanced at her and said coldly:"What do you want to say? Just say it.""

"The daughter is worried that Cao Yuan is so smart and almost a monster. What if he notices Chen Deng's plan?"

"The lessons learned from Xiaopei’s battle cannot be ignored."

Lu Lingqi's eyes flashed with fear.

Lu Bu looked slightly stern.

During the battle of Xiaopei, he rushed to attack Cao Cao's army, thinking that Cao Cao was unprepared and would be victorious.

Who would have thought that Cao Yuan would guess that he would attack secretly and let Cao Cao secretly Set an ambush and hit him hard

"Moreover, Cao's army had 40,000 troops, while Chen Deng's Guangling army only had 7,000 troops."

"Even if Cao Yuan doesn't see through our plan, if we can successfully cooperate with the inside and outside to rob the camp, will we definitely be able to defeat Cao's army?"

Lu Lingqi then worried again.

Lu Bu sighed softly, but said helplessly:"As a father, it is impossible to bow to Yuan Shao for help. To defend Xiapi, I can only sit back and wait for death. No matter what the chance of winning this battle, as a father, I have to bet on it. bet. Lu

Lingqi suddenly understood her father's difficulties and could only shake her head and sigh.

"Lingqi, we will rob the camp later. If Cao Jun cannot be defeated, you will follow my father closely. We will take advantage of the chaos to break out of the encirclement and meet up with Chen Deng."

Lu Bu changed the subject and warned in a low voice.

Lu Lingqi was startled at first, and then understood what Lu Bu meant.

No wonder, all his confidants, including Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and his own daughter, were all involved in the battle.

Lu Bu had done a good job. With both hands prepared, Cao Cao could not be defeated, so he took the opportunity to abandon Xiapi and fled, joined Chen Deng and retreated to Guangling County.

"What if we abandon Xiapi, Liu Bei, Chen Gong, Wei Xu, Song Xian and the others? Lu

Lingqi asked anxiously

"If it is stated that the city must be abandoned to break out of the siege, the morale of the army will collapse. Someone must stay and guard Xiapi to stabilize the morale of the army."

"They are not of the same mind as their father, so naturally they are the ones left behind."

Lu Bu's face was expressionless and his tone was cold and indifferent. Lu Lingqi shuddered. She was afraid of her father's cold-bloodedness, but she didn't dare to complain.

After all, no matter how cold-blooded Lu Bu was, he was not cold-blooded enough to abandon her daughter. point.

The moon was already setting in the west.

Suddenly.

Behind Cao Ying, three pillars of beacon fire shot up into the sky, lighting up the night sky.

Lu Bu's eyes focused.

He raised the fire as a signal, and Chen Deng took action.

"Send the order, open the city gate and lower the drawbridge! Lu

Bu shouted loudly, got on his horse and ran straight to the city.

The drawbridge slowly lowered and the city gate slowly opened.

The brightly lit Cao camp came into view.

Lu Bu pointed his halberd and said sternly:"Soldiers of the Lu family army, today It's time for you to serve me tonight. Follow me to fight out of the city and break through Cao's camp!"

The red rabbit horse neighed, and Lu Bu rushed out of the city gate first as if stepping on fire.

Lu Lingqi gritted her teeth, put aside distracting thoughts, and ran out following her father.

Zhang Liao was docile and three thousand elite Lu troops rushed out of Xiapi City. , roaring towards Cao Jun's camp.
