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

The west gate of Xinye is on the east bank of Huoshui River.

Bamboo rafts, one after another, quietly docked under the cover of the moonlight.

Thousands of Han troops disembarked from their ships and landed on the beach, hiding among the reeds.

Liu Bei pushed aside the reeds and looked into the distance. The brightly lit Xinye City was now in full view.

He could even clearly see the patrolling shadow of the Wei army at the top of the city.

All signs indicate that the Wei army was unprepared

"Wolong is worthy of being Wolong. Every move of military advisor and thief Cao is within your expectations."

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang with admiration.

Huang Zhong also praised:"The military counselor's plans are like gods. Not to mention that Cao Yuan is not here, even if he is here, it will not be calculated. The military counselor is going to attack Xinye City!"

Hearing the admiration of the monarch and his ministers, Zhuge Liang's brows flashed with a little bit of unnoticeable pride. For a moment of pride,

Zhuge Liang regained his composure and pointed his feather fan at Xinye:"Your Majesty, without further ado, burn Cao Cao's thieves one piece at a time. Don't leave it alone!"

Liu Bei's eyes were full of murderous intent, he jumped on his horse and shouted:"All the crossbowmen are in position, light the torches, and fire rockets at Xinye!"

The order was passed down from level to level.

Torches were lit, illuminating the river bank.

As the horn sounded, thousands of rockets roared out, like falling flames in the sky, heading towards Xinye City.

The next moment, the rockets flew in Xinye City attacked the houses.

In an instant, pillars of flames rose into the sky, covering the entire Xinye City.

Liu Bei was so excited that he waved his sword and shouted:"Continue to shoot arrows at me, don't stop!"

Four thousand crossbowmen, non-stop, fired endless wild rockets towards the burning Xinye City.

Tens of thousands of rockets struck down, and the huge Xinye City was swallowed up by raging fire like fire from heaven. It was tragic. The howling sound resounded in the night sky.

The howling sound was like an unjust ghost, which made the scalp numb.

Of course Liu Bei knew that the howling sound came not only from the Wei army, but also from the people of Xinye City.

It was the sound of people being tortured. The shrill wailing that can only be made when being burned alive.

Most of the Han troops present were from Jingzhou, and Xinye belongs to Jingzhou, and the people there can also be regarded as their neighbors.

Seeing that they were killed in such a brutal way The soldiers of Jingzhou all lowered their heads, with guilt on their faces.

Liu Bei noticed the changes in the mood of the soldiers, rolled his eyes, and squeezed out tears when his eyes were neutral.

"In order to kill the traitor Cao Cao, I have harmed the people all over the city. How can I bear it in my heart? How can I bear it in my heart?~~"

Liu Bei felt sad and blamed himself, and his face burst into tears in a blink of an eye.

Zhuge Liang sighed softly and said with relief:"The king is trying to kill the traitor Cao and rebuild the Han Dynasty. He has no choice but to do it. Those people who sacrificed their lives have spirits in heaven and will understand the helplessness of the king. Don't blame yourself.""

Huang Zhong and other generals also expressed their condolences.

The guilt on Liu Bei's face continued to increase. He suddenly got off his horse and knelt down towards Xinye City.

"In order to help the Han Dynasty, and to save the people of the world from fire and water, I had no choice but to do it. I apologize to you here, and I hope you can forgive me for my last resort."

"Be prepared to swear to heaven that I will kill the Cao thieves in my lifetime and rebuild the Han Dynasty to comfort your heroic spirits in heaven!"

With a solemn look on his face, he kowtowed three times in the direction of Xinye City.

As a dignified Han king, he could kneel down to the common people. This move deeply touched the hearts of the Han soldiers present.

They all looked at each other. Liu Bei's eyes no longer held any doubts, but instead became more filled with admiration.

"The king cares about the people and the common people, and is a benevolent king for the ages. We will follow the king, help the Han Dynasty, and kill Cao Cao's thieves!"

Zhuge Liang praised highly and bowed generously to Liu Bei.

Huang Zhong and other generals also expressed their loyalty to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and an imperceptible trace of emotion passed over his face as he knelt on the ground. proud

"King, the city gate is open!"

Chen Dao suddenly shouted.

Liu Bei jumped up and looked towards the west gate of Xinye.

Sure enough, the city gate opened, the suspension bridge was lowered, and countless civilians rushed out like frightened ants.

The people fled, and then It was time for the Wei army to escape.

It was time to take advantage of the situation.

Liu Bei shed his tears, jumped on his horse, drew his sword and shouted:"According to this king's order, the troops are divided into four groups, surround and kill the fleeing Wei army, and avenge the people who sacrificed their lives in Xinye."~~"

The generals' fighting spirit surged. at this time.

Li Yan said,"Your Majesty, why are all the people who escaped here just ordinary people and not a single Wei army?"

Liu Bei was reminded and looked carefully, and sure enough he didn't see a single Wei army.

Zhuge Liang's eyes changed slightly, and he faintly noticed something was wrong.

Liu Bei guessed:"Is it possible that the Wei army did not escape from the west gate, but only escaped from the other three gates?"

"impossible!"

"Since the Wei army was caught off guard, they would be in chaos and scramble to escape through the nearest gate. How could the Wei army near the west gate insist on escaping through other gates? Li

Yan questioned

"Military advisor, it’s indeed a bit weird."

Liu Bei also noticed something was wrong and looked at Zhuge Liang suspiciously.

"Could it be that the counselors around Thief Cao have seen through my plan to burn the new fields?"

"Cao Yuan did not accompany the expedition, and Guo Jia was transferred to Hefei. Cheng Yu's resourcefulness alone should not be able to see through this plan. Zhuge

Liang frowned deeply, unable to explain for a moment.

At this moment, the young general Wei Yan came up on horseback and said loudly:"Your Majesty, my east gate scout has sent back an urgent report. The whole army of Cao thieves has arrived before I launch my fire attack." , everyone rushes out of the city from the east gate!"

Boom!

It was as if a muffled thunder exploded in Liu Bei's ears. He was shaken and his head was buzzing.

Zhuge Liang also suddenly changed his color. His hands shook and he almost lost his grip on the feather fan.

Liu Bei asked in shock:"Since Cao Cao's thieves are all He was unprepared, so how could he escape first? What on earth was going on?"

Wei Yan had no way to explain.

But Li Yan sighed:"Your Majesty, there is no doubt that Cao Cao must have seen through the military adviser's clever plan, so he escaped from Xinye City a moment in advance!"

Liu Bei suddenly realized, and looked at Zhuge Liang with disbelief.

His shocked eyes obviously couldn't believe that Zhuge Liang's clever plan could be seen through by Cao Cao.

"It shouldn't be, my plan is so brilliant that even if Cao Yuan is here, there is no way he can see through it!"

"Who on earth saw through my plan and alerted the thief Cao?"

Zhuge Liang murmured to himself, his eyes filled with unprecedented confusion and surprise.
