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

The water flooded Xiapi!

A light flashed before Cao Cao's eyes, and he suddenly became enlightened.

"Sishui is located to the west of Xiapi City. It is now the rainy season, which is a good time to burst the dikes and flood the city."

"There are only two thousand defenders in the city. Once the flood comes, people must be in panic and have no intention of defending."

"My lord, this plan of Military Advisor Ziyou is indeed a clever plan to defeat Xiapi quickly!"

Guo Jia happily agreed.

Chen Deng also bowed to Cao Yuan:"Deng has long heard that Military Advisor Cao has wonderful plans and wise plans, and today he finally learned it again."

Cao Yuan just smiled at the compliments and compliments from the two of them.

"Ziyou, you really deserve to be the best strategist in the world, you are really full of tricks! Cao

Cao laughed, waved his hands happily and said,"You have all heard Ziyuan's plan. Immediately move the camp to higher ground and dig up the Surabaya River. I want the water to flood Xiapi!""

"promise!"

The generals accepted the order in unison.

That night, Cao Jun in each camp received the order to move the camp to higher ground quietly under the cover of night.

Yu Jin was ordered to lead 3,000 soldiers to dig the embankment on the east bank of Surabaya.

…

The next day.

Prefectural Government

Guan Yu sat on top, and Chen Gong sat on the side.

Hao Meng and other generals sat on the two wings of the hall.

"Everyone, my brother has gone to Qingzhou to ask for help. I believe that within ten days, the Yuan family's reinforcements will arrive at the city."

"I, Guan Yu, hope to cooperate with you all. We are united and will hold on to Xiapi for ten days."

"If you are willing to fight side by side with me, we will drink this cup to the full! Guan

Yu raised his glass and wanted to take this opportunity to test people's hearts.

Chen Gong was the first to raise his glass and said with emotion:"I am willing to assist General Guan Yu in holding Xiapi and fight to the death with Cao Cao!""

As soon as Chen Gong expressed his stance, Hao Meng and other old Lu Bu generals raised their glasses and expressed their willingness to listen to Guan Yu's orders.

They knew very well that Chen Gong was a counselor and could not lead the army to fight.

Hao Meng and other old Lu Bu generals, no one could No one wants to obey.

Now in Pi City, only Guan Yu has the prestige and strength to command the generals.

Guan Yu nodded with satisfaction and drank the cup.

"I predict that Cao Cao will mobilize an army of 40,000 troops and attack Xiapi City day and night."

"What you have to do is to immediately strengthen the city and prepare more arrows and wood."

"If Thief Cao dares to attack, we will give him a head-on blow!"

After drinking, Guan Yu confidently began to issue orders.

Hao Meng said boldly:"General Guan, don't worry, the walls of Xiapi City are thick and high, and our army still has two thousand soldiers and horses available. We can't guarantee that we will defend it for three to five months. , keeping it for ten days is absolutely out of the question."

Hou Cheng, Cao Xing and other generals are all generous and confident.

"If you have confidence, that's great"

"But don't forget that Cao Cao is assisted by Cao Yuan. This man is very cunning and there is no guarantee that he will not come up with some vicious tricks for Cao Cao's thieves."

"We cannot be too optimistic and should be cautious."

Chen Gong stood up and set fire to the generals.

After all, he had suffered too many losses from Cao Yuan, and he already had psychological shadow, so he did not dare to underestimate him.

Guan Yu, however, stroked his beautiful beard and said proudly:" This general doesn't believe it. No matter how smart that little thief Cao Yuan is, we can't even defend Xiapi for ten days!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a faint rumble in his ears.

It was as if something suddenly collapsed.

"Could it be that the Cao thieves attacked the city so quickly?"

Guan Yu became alert, and immediately ordered his guards to go to each gate to check.

After a while, one of his guards came back rolling and rolling, shouting:"General Guan, something bad has happened. There is a flood outside the city, and we are heading to Xiapi. The city is coming."

Flood!

Guan Yu's red face changed, and he said in a deep voice:"That's nonsense. It has not yet entered midsummer, and it has not yet come to the time of heavy rain. How can there be a flood!"

"How dare you lie? The flood is about to reach the west gate. General Guan, please go and take a look."

The guard cried.

Guan Yu panicked and hurried out of the house without thinking too much.

Chen Gong and other generals were all nervous and followed them to the west gate.

When they climbed to the city wall, Guan Yu raised his eyes and took a breath.

I saw outside the west gate, there was indeed a rolling torrent, rolling in overwhelmingly.

"How can this be?"

"Where did this flood come from?"

Guan Yu's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were as wide as if he had seen a ghost.

Hao Meng and other generals were all shocked and confused.

"Surabaya! Chen

Gong suddenly became alarmed and exclaimed:"It's that Cao thief who dug up the Sishui River embankment. He wants to flood Xia Pi!""

Guan Yu's body swayed, and his head buzzed.

He looked towards Surabaya in a hurry.

In the morning light, he could vaguely see that a section of the embankment on the east bank of Surabaya had indeed disappeared.

There is no doubt that it must be They were dug up by Cao's army all night!

Guan Yu took a breath of cold air and was stunned for a moment.

He froze on the spot. But Hao Meng shouted:"Is Cao Cao crazy? He dug the river embankment, so he is not afraid of destroying his camp." Flooded?"

"Cao Cao's soldiers and horses must have moved to higher ground during the night, leaving only an empty camp. The soldiers in the camp must be all dummies!"

Chen Gong revealed the truth, his voice trembling.

At this moment, the rolling torrent had overflowed Cao Ying outside the city.

The straw men in armor floated up and rushed to the bottom of the city along the torrent.

Cao's camp was indeed empty!

Hao Meng was speechless and froze on the spot in despair.

Immediately afterwards, the rolling torrent hit the city wall.

The city wall shook, and the soldiers fell to the ground before they could stand firm.

The water level rose rapidly, and the torrent It penetrated everywhere and flooded into the city along the gaps everywhere.

In less than half an hour, the huge Xiapi City was soaked in the flood.

The defenders along the city line were immediately panicked and fell into chaos. middle

"Thief Cao, you actually used such poison!"

Guan Yu's red face was frightened and angry, and he gnashed his teeth.

Chen Gong sighed:"This strategy of flooding Xia Pi must be another masterpiece of Cao Yuan!"

Guan Yu's figure was shaken, and Danfeng's eyes suddenly burst open.

"Cao Yuan, it's you again, you are a treacherous villain who is helping others to do evil!"

"You killed my third brother, and now you are trying to drive me to a dead end!"

"Hateful, hateful!"

Guan Yu was so furious that he punched out and destroyed most of the battlements.

"Cao Cao flooded Xiapi, and the soldiers' morale was shattered. How could they defend the city?"

"Xiapi City cannot be defended. Let's surrender to Duke Cao. Only by surrendering can we save our lives."

Hao Meng was so frightened that he actually shouted to surrender to Cao Cao.

Wei Xu also panicked and shouted:"Then Cao Yuan has great magical powers. Even Marquis Wen died due to his tricks. How can we be opponents and want to survive? The only thing we can do is surrender, let’s surrender!"

Lü Bu's old generals are all divided and have no intention of fighting to the death.

Chen Gong frowned and couldn't help but panic.

The generals surrendered, and with Cao Cao's magnanimity, they will continue to use them.

Only he, Cao Cao will never be able to Allow him.

To surrender is to seek death!

Chen Gong shuddered and wanted to dissuade the generals.

Just a moment before he spoke,

Guan Yu glared furiously and suddenly slashed out with the Qinglong Sword.

"Kaka!"

Two muffled sounds.

Two human heads flew into the air.

The headless bodies of Hao Meng and Wei Xu fell to the ground.

Guan Yu slashed his blood knife and roared almost madly:"Who dares to surrender to the Cao thief again? I, Qinglong, The knife will cut off anyone's head!"
