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

Wei Yan was shocked, raised his head suddenly, and looked at Liu Bei in shock.

He asked himself that he had tried his best, but was reprimanded by Liu Bei, and felt aggrieved enough.

But he didn't expect that Liu Beiguang wanted to kill him because he didn't think it was enough to scold him!

For a moment, Wei Yan's eyes filled with sadness, anger and disappointment.

Liu Bei's eyes quietly glanced at Zhuge Liang.

He reproached Wei Yan so heavily, naturally to show Zhuge Liang that he was serious about Zhuge Liang's fiancée being robbed, and to show his favor and respect for Zhuge Liang.

The guards on the left and right came forward and were about to drag Wei Yan away.

At the last moment, Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said:"Your Majesty, please save someone under the sword."

Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Yan was an extraordinary martial artist and a talented general. If it wasn't to appease Zhuge Liang, how could he have the heart to kill him.

He waited for Zhuge Liang to take the initiative and plead for Wei Yan.

"Military advisor, this guy failed to take back the Huang family’s daughter and even lost his troops and generals. How can I spare him? Liu

Bei still had a murderous look on his face.

Zhuge Liang said calmly:"Although Wei Yan can't escape the blame, in the final analysis, Cao Yuan is too cunning. Now is the time to employ people. Your Majesty might as well spare his life and make him perform meritorious service.""

"In this case, for the sake of military advisor, I will spare your life!"

Liu Bei pushed the boat along and spared Wei Yan's death.

Wei Yan breathed a sigh of relief and knelt on the ground in despair, not knowing what to do.

Liu Bei said in a deep voice:"Wei Yan, I hope you will take care of yourself, take responsibility for your crimes and perform meritorious service, and don't let down the military advisor who is interceding for you today.!"

Wei Yan came to his senses and was about to speak.

But Zhuge Liang said:"Your Majesty, this Wei Yan can't hold a big position, so let's transfer him back to Xiangyang City and become a city gate captain."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Yan was shocked and suddenly clenched his fists.

Previously, Liu Bei promoted him to the rank of General Pi. His future was unlimited. But now, Zhuge Liang wants to demote him to the rank of Colonel with just one word. Lieutenant!

It is better to guard the city gate as a lieutenant.

Wei Yan was unhappy in his heart and secretly clenched his fists, but did not dare to show it.

Zhuge Liang had already spoken, and Liu Bei naturally had to listen, so he said coldly:"Wei Yan, from today on Now, I will demote you to the rank of captain. You should return to Xiangyang City immediately and guard the city gate."

Wei Yan felt unfair, but had no choice but to silently accept the order and retire.

As soon as he left, Liu Bei said:"Military advisor, this Wei Yan has quite a few military commanders. If he is asked to guard the city gate, is it true that some of his great talents are not being used at all?"

"Your Majesty, it’s not that I’m avenging my personal revenge. If it weren’t for the time when I’m employing people, and I can’t chill people’s hearts, I definitely wouldn’t plead for Wei Yan."

"I see that Wei Yan has a traitor in the back of his head. Not only should he not be reused, but he should be killed to avoid future troubles!"

Zhuge Liang looked solemn and told the reason.

"Is there a bone in the back of the head?"

Liu Bei's eyes were dubious.

But he always obeyed Zhuge Liang. Since Zhuge Liang decided that Wei Yan could not be reused, he would naturally not have any objections.

"Your Majesty, Kong Ming’s nephew, he kidnapped his daughter for Cao Yuan, what should he do?"

Huang Chengyan, who was left alone, finally couldn't help interrupting the conversation between Liu Bei and Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was shocked and looked back at Huang Chengyan before he remembered the business.

Zhuge Liang frowned deeply, unable to express his position.

Liu Bei said seriously. :"Don't worry, Mr. Huang. Sooner or later, I will cross the Han River and defeat Cao Cao's thieves. I will definitely rescue your daughter.""

"Have you ever hit the Han River?"

Huang Chengyan looked bitter. Although he didn't dare to say it clearly, the implication of that expression was already clear.

King Wei Cao Cao has a hundred thousand troops approaching Fancheng. If he doesn't cross the Han River, I will just destroy you Liu Bei.

I even tried to fight the Han. Water, rebel against Cao Cao?

What you said is just to comfort me.

"The thief Cao Cao has no ships and no navy. Even if he has an army of millions, he can only look at the river and sigh."

"When he loses all his energy and is forced to withdraw his troops and return north, that will be the day when we launch a massive counterattack"

"Liang is confident that our army will be able to defeat the Wei army in the meantime and take advantage of the situation to rescue sister Yueying!"

Zhuge Liang raised his hand and pointed to the north bank, his words and expression filled with absolute confidence.

These words made Huang Chengyan seem to see hope, and his gloomy eyes added a bit of brilliance.

When it came to this, he could no longer question it. , and could only sigh:"I hope that as my nephew said, the King of Han can defeat Cao Cao as soon as possible and rescue my daughter."

Zhuge Liang said no more. He stared at the Wei camp on the north bank with his eyes burning with murderous intent.

"Cao Yuan, I, Zhuge Liang, will make you repay tenfold sooner or later for the hatred of seizing your wife. I will do what I say.——"

He held the broken feather fan tightly and secretly swore in his heart

……

Seven days later, Wei camp on the north bank.

One hundred thousand Wei troops have entered Fancheng one after another and camped along the river, facing Xiangyang City across the river.

Cao Cao immediately stood on the shore and looked at the Han navy showing off its might on the river, his brows furrowed into a single line.

Only then did he suddenly realize that if he wanted to eat Jingzhou in one go, there was still an insurmountable obstacle.

Warship!

How could we cross the Han River without warships?

Swim over?

It's a pity that most of his 100,000-strong army are landlubbers from the north. Not to mention swimming across, they would faint and stagger even in a boat.

"Your Majesty, if you want to cross the Han River, you must have a warship!"

"Our army has no ships, so I am afraid that this southern expedition will have to stop at the Han River."

Cheng Yu sighed, breaking through the difficulty in Cao Cao's heart.

Cao Ren, however, disagreed and said:"We, the Wei Dynasty, need money and craftsmen. It is not easy to build warships. We can build them, so why bother to teach."

Zhang Liao and other generals nodded their heads.

"General Zixiao, shipbuilding is not like making weapons. If you build it today, you can use it tomorrow."

"As far as I know, building a naval battleship will take at least half a year from construction of the keel to actual launch."

"Is it possible that our 100,000-strong army will be stationed at the Han River, doing nothing but waiting for the warships that will be built in half a year?"

Cheng Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and revealed the key to shipbuilding.

Cao Ren suddenly realized it.

Cao Cao sighed:"I had known this, I should have built a large number of warships half a year ago, and now I can use them."

"Half a year ago, who would have thought that with a few ingenious tricks of Ziyou's military advisor, the king would easily capture Xinye Fan City, drink Mahan water, and advance his troops so quickly."

Cheng Yu said this.

Cao Cao nodded slightly:"Zhongde's words are reasonable. Being able to capture Fancheng and drink Mahan water this time is an unexpected surprise, so we should accept it as soon as it is good."

The implication of his words was that he agreed with Cheng Yu's suggestion and wanted to lead the army.

At this time,

Zhao Yun reminded:"The king also has Military Advisor Ziyou. Why not ask Ziyou Military Advisor for his opinion? Maybe he has a clever plan of his own. I can help the king cross the Han River and capture the entire Jingzhou."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

Cao Ren said:"Of course Ziyou is a clever strategist, but when we cross the Han River, what we need most is a warship. Even though Ziyou is extremely resourceful, there is no way he can use his ingenuity to conjure up battles out of thin air. Boat."

Cao Cao nodded slightly and agreed with Cao Ren's view.

"In any case, whether you withdraw your troops or continue to garrison Fancheng, you should first listen to Ziyou's wishes."

Cao Cao then ordered his horse to prepare and went to see Cao Yuan in person.
