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

Wenpin was defeated.

Even though Cao Cao had the dragon boat built by Cao Yuan, the general who commanded the navy was just an unknown general named Lu Meng.

Wenpin was defeated by an unknown general?

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, their ministers, slowly turned around and looked at each other in astonishment.

There was disbelief in each other's eyes.

Along the coast, the Han soldiers watching the battle were all horrified and in an uproar.

The defeated warship fled into the water camp in embarrassment.

There were more than 300 warships when they went to war, but when they came back, there were less than 50.

Almost the entire army was wiped out!

Soon, the defeated soldiers gave Liu Bei another blow.

Wenpin died in battle!

Liu Bei's mind was buzzing, and he wobbled and counted down three steps.

"King! Zhuge

Liang exclaimed and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"Military advisor, why is this?"

"How come Cao Cao, an unknown general, was able to kill Wenpin and completely wipe out our navy?"

"Why is this happening, military advisor?"

Liu Bei yelled at Zhuge Liang in grief, anger and confusion.

Zhuge Liang frowned deeply, with the same grief and anger in his eyes, but he couldn't answer

"Your Majesty, our navy was almost completely wiped out, and Wen Zhongye also died in the battle. How can we hold on to the Han River defense line!"

Li Yan asked sadly behind him.

Huang Zhong, Liu Pan and other generals on the left and right all looked anxious.

Liu Bei had no way to answer and could only look at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang took several breaths and deliberately shook the feather fan with all his strength. His mind was filled with shock and confusion.

After a long time, his breath gradually calmed down, and he finally regained some composure.

"It's nothing more than the destruction of the navy. Cao Cao wants the right to control the Han River, so we can give it to him."

"As long as we keep an eye on his navy and wait for his navy to transport soldiers to land, we can then cross the river and attack him. The Cao thieves will still have no chance of attacking the south bank! Zhuge Liang offered another plan, and the pride of being in control of everything reappeared on his brows.

Liu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shouted:"Send the order, send more troops to patrol, and show me that the navy of Cao Thief has been killed. Whenever you find out, If there are signs of transporting infantry across the river, report immediately!"

"promise!"

The generals took the order.

Liu Bei stood up again, looking at the north bank with disdain of arrogance.

"Thief Cao, so what if you destroy my navy and kill Wenpin!"

"If you have the guts, just go to the south bank, and I will give you a half-crossing attack so that you can never come back!"

……

North bank, Wei camp.

The infantry of the Wei army who were watching the battle were cheering loudly.

"Ziyou, Ziyou, I know that the people you recommend are never wrong!"

"This Lu Meng is such a damn talent!"

Cao Cao was ecstatic, so excited that he cursed.

Cao Ren was also ecstatic and said:"With such water warfare wizards, it is not easy for the king to cross the Han River, sweep across the Yangtze River, and destroy Sun Ce."

The Wei army was in ecstasy, and their fighting spirit surged.

Cao Yuan just smiled and said nothing, watching the victorious navy return in triumph.

"The final general has lived up to the king's expectations and has severely damaged the Han navy. The enemy general Wen Pin is beheaded here!"

Lü Meng held up a bloody head to show his merits to Cao Cao.

Even the enemy general Wenpin was killed. What an unexpected surprise!

Cao Cao laughed loudly, lifted Lü Meng up, and praised:"Ziming, you As expected, Ziyou has not been embarrassed. If this king can cross the Han River, you will be the first to do so!"

"The king has rewarded you"

"Without the strategist to use the dragon boat and the divine arm bow, I would not be able to win this battle just by relying on my own abilities."

Lu Meng didn't dare to be dissatisfied, and hurriedly put all the credit on Cao Yuan.

Cao Cao laughed loudly and said happily:"Let's go back to the tent, hold a celebration banquet, and drink him until he gets drunk!"

At nightfall, the aroma of wine overflowed in the big tent, and people were chatting and laughing happily. After a few rounds of wine, the pride of the generals was ignited.

Cao Ren said happily:"Your Majesty, the navy of the Han Dynasty has been destroyed. What are we waiting for? You give the order , let’s go to the south bank tomorrow!"

The generals rose up and shouted for war.

Cao Cao was smiling and his blood was boiling, and he was about to give the order.

At this time,

Cheng Yu said:"Your Majesty, although we control the water control of Han River, we may not be able to kill him easily. south bank."

The shouts of war in the tent immediately fell silent.

"If our army wants to reach the south bank, it must use naval forces to transport infantry ashore."

"As long as the big-eared thief keeps an eye on our navy, he can easily tell when and where our army wants to land."

"At this time, his infantry only had to arrive in time and attack our army when it was halfway across. Instead of being unable to land, our army would be driven back into the water and suffer heavy losses."

Cheng Yu explained his reason.

The generals suddenly understood, and their excitement suddenly calmed down.

"Zhongde's words are reasonable. If you attack him halfway across the river, you must be on guard...."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and frowned again.

"Since the big-eared thieves will keep an eye on our navy, we don't need to use the navy to transport the infantry across the river."

Cao Yuan, who was enjoying the wine, suddenly said this.

Everyone looked at Cao Yuan in surprise.

"Ziyou, I am crossing the river with infantry. How can I cross the river without relying on the navy to transport me?"

Cao Cao was both curious and questioning.

Cao Yuan took the wine glass, stood up slowly, and came to Cao Cao. He put the two wine glasses on the table, then picked up a chopstick and put it on the table. Between the two cups,

Cao Cao looked at his son, his eyes full of suspicion and confusion at the sudden inexplicable behavior.

"I think that if your Majesty does not build a pontoon bridge on the north and south banks, then our army will be able to cross the Han River calmly without the need for warships."

Cao Yuan took his time and revealed the mystery.

Floating bridge!

Cheng Yu and other advisers and generals were all shocked.

Cao Cao stared at the cups and chopsticks on the table with surprise in his eyes

"Can a floating bridge be built on the Han River?"

Cao Cao looked dubious.

Cheng Yu hurriedly said:"The Han River is fast and the river is wide. It has never been heard of since ancient times that someone can build a pontoon bridge on such a wide water system!"

"Then let's be the first to eat crabs!"

Cao Yuan said with a disapproving smile.

"Be the first to eat...A crab eater?"

Cao Cao looked at a loss.

Cao Yuan coughed a few times and said:"Yuan means, why can't modern people do things that have never been done by ancient people? We want to be the first in the world!"

The first man in the world!

These seven words instantly aroused Cao Cao's passion and passion.

"well said!"

"What the ancients could not do, I, Cao Cao, will do!"

Cao Cao stood up and said boldly:"Pass the imperial edict, immediately move three thousand soldiers and horses upstream, choose a narrow river surface, and build a pontoon bridge for me overnight to give the big-eared thief a surprise!"
