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

The empty city plan failed!

Liu Bei froze on the spot, his eyes stunned, as if he had heard the most incredible thing in the world.

Burning new fields, a clever plan that can be recorded in the history of military art!

Discovered by Cao Yuan.

The Empty City Strategy is another unprecedented and unpredictable plan.

But Cao Yuan saw through it again.

That Cao Yuan is so resourceful and tyrannical that even Wolong's peerless ingenuity cannot win?

Even if you only win once!

Seeing Liu Bei's shocked and confused expression, Zhuge Liang felt ashamed and embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it.

At this time.

Dust and fog billowed in the direction of Fancheng.

Sharp arrows roared out from the violent dust, overwhelmingly attacking towards the ferry.

In an instant, the Han soldiers who were crowded by the Han River were caught off guard and were nailed to the ground in pieces.

Screams kept coming and going, and the Han army was immediately in chaos.

"No, it's the red horse Yi Cong of the Wei army. They passed through Fancheng and chased them to the river!"

Huang Zhong pointed to the north and shouted.

Liu Bei shuddered and woke up from his despair. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance. Sure enough, he saw countless Wei troops approaching.

The scene of the tragic defeat in Huishui immediately appeared in front of him.

Liu Bei did not dare. He hesitated for a moment, stamped his feet fiercely, and waved his hands helplessly:"Pass this king's order, and all the ships will set sail immediately and leave the ferry.

Huang Zhong was taken aback and said anxiously:"Your Majesty, we still have 20,000 people."——"

He was about to remind him, but he swallowed the words again.

The reality is so cruel. Cao's army chased them too fast, and the tens of thousands of Han troops remaining on the shore were destined to be unable to board the ship.

In view of the lessons learned from the retreat in Shinno, the earlier we abandon the soldiers on shore, the more we can reduce the loss of soldiers.

"well~~"

Huang Zhong shook his head and sighed, then fell silent.

Make the flag wave.

Each navy warship quickly retracted the bridge planks, untied the ropes, raised its sails and oars, and forced its way away from the ferry.

Tens of thousands of Han soldiers were left behind at the ferry.

"King, don’t abandon us, let us get on the ship!"

"Please let me get on the ship. I still have my wife and children!"

"King, save us~~"

Wails echoed across the river bank.

The desperate abandoned soldiers knelt on the river beach, begging Liu Bei not to abandon them.

Liu Bei felt guilty and did not dare to face them, so he sighed and turned away.

The warship drifted away, with no intention of looking back.

In the direction behind them, the Wei army had already approached the water camp and was heading straight for the ferry.

"Liu Bei is ruthless and has abandoned us. Why should we die for him? Let’s surrender the Wei army!"

Among the sounds of begging, I don't know who shouted

"I escaped from Xinye. Those brothers who refused to surrender were all killed by the Wei army. If you want to survive, surrender!"

Someone else screamed in fear.

In the blink of an eye, the spirit and will of the Han troops along the coast collapsed.

They cursed Liu Bei, dropped their weapons one after another, knelt down in the direction of Fancheng, and begged the Wei army to surrender.

"He actually surrendered to Wei, he is really a cowardly, disloyal and shameless person!"

Zhuge Liang looked at the soldiers kneeling down to surrender to Wei and couldn't help but angrily rebuked.

Liu Bei suddenly turned around and saw the scene of abandoning his soldiers to surrender to Wei. The guilt in his heart disappeared in an instant.

"boom! He hit the ship wall hard with his fist and gritted his teeth and said:"I had no choice but to abandon you. You actually surrendered to Wei without fighting. You are really shameless and you are not worthy of being my great man!""

Liu Beikong was furious, but he could only watch helplessly as his 20,000 soldiers surrendered to Wei.

Flags with the word"Wei" in them were also raised on the shore, announcing the complete fall of Fancheng.

"Your Majesty, I have repeatedly miscalculated my plans, causing our army to lose troops and generals. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang felt guilty, and immediately knelt down to apologize to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang kneeling on the ground, and resentment could not be restrained on his face.

For a moment, he even had the urge to punch Zhuge Liang.

Seventy thousand troops. The Northern Expedition just returned in vain, and it also accompanied the two important towns of Xinye and Fancheng.

Even without a direct confrontation with the Wei army, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses were lost.

Such a heavy loss really made Liu Bei heartbroken. How could he treat Zhuge Liang in his heart? no complaints

"This is all because Cao Yuan was too cunning and cannot be blamed on the military advisor. The military advisor should not blame himself too much and get up quickly."

Liu Bei still swallowed his resentment and hurriedly helped Zhuge Liang up.

He couldn't help it.

Zhuge Liang's wisdom and scheming are obvious to all, and they are comparable to Zhang Liang in ancient times.

The only blame is that Cao Yuan is too strong.

Even Zhuge Liang Cao Yuan's wisdom and scheming have been repeatedly suppressed by Cao Yuan. If he blames Zhuge Liang, who can he rely on?

"Military Advisor, now Fancheng has been lost and we have lost nearly 20,000 troops. What should we do next?"

Liu Bei couldn't wait to ask for advice again.

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan, and the guilt on his face suddenly changed to calmness and confidence.

"The strength of the Wei army lies in land warfare"

"Cao Cao thought that if a whale swallows our Jingzhou, he must first cross the Han River. If he wants to cross the Han River, he must rely on the navy."

"Cao Cao's thieves don't have a naval force, so they can't even think of crossing the Han River!"

"All the king has to do is to station the infantry on the south bank, patrol the Han River with naval forces, and wait for Cao's thieves to retreat."

Zhuge Liang spoke eloquently and planned out a strategy for Liu Bei.

"What the military advisor said makes sense! Liu

Bei struck with both fists:"I have the natural danger of the Han River. Even if Cao Cao's thieves have millions of troops, even if Cao Yuan is as resourceful as a god, what should I fear?""

For a time, the gloom on Liu Bei's face disappeared, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had regained some face.

At this time,

Liu Bei rolled his eyes a few times and shouted:"Wei Yan, listen make!"

"The end will be here!"

Wei Yan stepped forward in a hurry.

Liu Bei said sternly:"Hurry up and lead a group of troops to the upper reaches of the Han River, and bring Huang Chengyan and his daughter back to Xiangyang safe and sound."

"The general will obey the order!"

Wei Yan took the order and left.

Zhuge Liang was shocked and looked at Liu Bei with grateful eyes.

He was engaged to the daughter of the Huang family. The wedding was originally scheduled to be held this month, but it was delayed due to the Northern Expedition.

The Huang family The manor is located on the north bank of the Han River, not far from Fancheng.

Liu Bei obviously took this for his sake, so he immediately sent troops to take the Huang family and his daughter back to Xiangyang for refuge.

"Military advisor, if it weren’t for this king’s Northern Expedition, you would have already married the daughter of the Huang family."

"This time, I have taken Huang Gong and his daughter back to Xiangyang. I will personally preside over your wedding. I will make you, military commander, a glorious man and marry the daughter of the Huang family! Liu

Bei said with an enthusiastic smile.

"King~~"

Seeing how concerned Liu Bei was about his personal affairs, Zhuge Liang felt he didn't know what to say.

After a while.

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and bowed to Liu Bei:"Thank you so much for your kindness, your Majesty. I will serve you with all your heart and soul, and die."

Liu Bei smiled and raised Zhuge Liang's hand.

The monarch and his ministers held hands, looked at each other, and looked at each other affectionately, everything was in silence.
