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

Two days later, it was night.

Yu Jin sent back an urgent report that a pontoon bridge had been built twenty miles upstream.

Cao Cao immediately ordered Lu Meng to lead the dragon boat navy to launch a feint attack on the Han army's water camp on the south bank.

Cao Cao himself led Chima Yicong and Mo Daojun to leave the Fancheng camp at night and went straight to the upstream pontoon bridge to cross the river.

As soon as he took up residence in the south of the bridge, followed by a hundred thousand troops, he immediately crossed the river in large numbers.

After running wildly for half a day, a floating bridge suddenly came into view.

"As expected, a pontoon bridge can be built on the Han River. Your Majesty is the first person in the world!"

Zhao Yun looked at the floating bridge and sighed.

Cao Cao stroked his beard and said with a smile:"I am the first person to eat crabs as Ziyou said."

After that,

Cao Cao whipped his horse whip and said:"Send the order and the whole army will cross the river and immediately build a barrier and camp wall at the bridgehead on the south bank. Then send the order to the following troops to come and join them immediately."

At the command, five thousand elite cavalrymen quickly crossed the river with high morale.

On the land on the south bank of the Han River, flags with the word"Wei" were flying.

……

South Bank, Han Army Camp

"Your Majesty, I think that just forming an alliance with Sun Ce is not enough. We also need to unite more anti-Cao righteous people in the world."

"Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang, Gongsun Du from Liaodong, Zhang Yan from the Black Mountain Army, and even Yufuluo from the Xiongnu, all of them can be used by the king."

"The king should immediately send out envoys to state the interests of these princes and persuade them to send troops to attack Cao's rear."

"There's a fire in the backyard and enemies are on the front and rear, and the thieves will retreat!"

In the big tent, Zhuge Liang was talking eloquently again, planning a new strategy for Liu Bei to retreat from the enemy.

Liu Bei nodded repeatedly:"What the military advisor said makes sense, but Sun Ce is exaggerating. He can't even attack a small Hefei. He alone is not enough to contain him. Cao thief."

At that moment, Liu Bei wrote down several autographed letters and was about to arrange for the messenger to go on an envoy.

At this time,

Zhou Cang broke into the tent and shouted:"Your Majesty, something bad is going on!"

"The sky is not falling, so why panic? Liu

Bei shouted displeased. Zhou

Cang cupped his hands and said,"The scouts sent back an urgent report. The Wei army has set up a pontoon bridge twenty miles upstream. Five thousand Wei troops have crossed the river!""

Bang!

The pen in Liu Bei's hand fell from his hand, and his face changed with horror.

Zhuge Liang's eyes widened, and he shook the feather fan in his hand, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Zhou Cang, what did you say?"

Liu Bei jumped up and asked with a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty, Cao Cao secretly built a pontoon bridge upstream. He has already crossed the Han River with 5,000 steps and is building a barrier! Zhou

Cang cried.

Liu Bei fell down and asked in shock:"How is this possible? I have never heard that someone built a pontoon bridge on the Han River?" Zhuge

Liang looked shocked. Obviously, this information was far beyond his understanding.

After a while,

Zhuge Liang gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:"This must be Cao Yuan's trick. Only this thief in the Wei camp can come up with it." Such a whimsical plan!"

Cao Yuan.

It's Cao Yuan again!

Liu Bei punched the table and said angrily:"Why does this little thief Cao always come up with such incredible strategies? Why is this?"

The emperor and his ministers were shocked and angry.

Li Yan hurriedly entered the tent, cupped his hands and said,"I would like to report to your Majesty, the navy of the Wei army on the north bank has left the camp and is arrayed on the river. There seems to be signs of attacking our camp."

Liu Bei was startled, his anger turned into panic, and he looked at Zhuge Liang anxiously.

Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes a few times and said coldly:"The Wei navy must be feigning an attack to cover his main force and cross the river from the upper pontoon bridge!

Liu Bei suddenly realized and said hurriedly:"Then how should I respond?""

Zhuge Liang said solemnly:"The only plan now is for the king to rush to the pontoon with his elite troops. While the Wei army is firmly established, drive them back to the south bank and destroy the pontoon in one fell swoop. If the main force of the Wei army is allowed to cross the river, it will be too late.!"

Liu Bei shuddered.

Without thinking too much, he immediately led 20,000 Han troops to leave the camp and went straight to the pontoon bridge upstream.

At dawn, the pontoon bridge in front was already illuminated by the morning light, and he could see the running Han troops. The army was all in a panic.

Liu Bei looked up and saw five thousand Wei troops arrayed solemnly at the bridge ahead. A king's flag with the word"Wei" flying in the morning light, where the king's flag was, symbolized Cao Cao's personal command of the army.

"Thief Cao, I must drive you into the water today! Liu

Bei secretly gritted his teeth and shouted:"The whole army is in formation and ready to attack!""

The 20,000 Han troops immediately stopped running wildly and began to form large and small military formations to advance towards the Wei army at the bridge.

Cao Cao was stationed on his horse at the bridge, watching the approaching Han army coldly.

"Liu Bei, you really want to capture the bridge!"

Cao Cao smiled coldly, raised his whip and shouted:"Zhao Zilong obeys the order!"

"I'm here!"

Zhao Yun jumped up on his horse and raised his spear.

Cao Cao pointed his whip and said,"Immediately lead your red horse to attack the enemy's flank!"

"promise!"

Zhao Yun took the order and left.

Cao Cao shouted again:"Send the order to Gao Shun, but when he saw that the enemy's formation was disrupted, he immediately led the Modao army to attack and defeat the enemy head-on!"

Two orders were passed down.

Three thousand Mo Dao troops were waiting in strict formation. The horn sounded, and two thousand red horse retinues roared out first.

The Han army's formation.

Liu Bei was still thinking about how to break through the Wei army's formation.

Who would have thought that, The Wei army actually launched an attack first

"Five thousand men and horses, still dare to strike first"

"Thief Cao, you underestimate me too much! Liu

Bei was angered and shouted:"Send orders to Liao Hua and Li Yan to guard the flanks of my king and stop the traitor Zhao Yun!""

Red Horse Yi Cong attacks, and the leader of the Wei general is naturally Zhao Yun.

After suffering several losses, Liu Bei has understood the essence of Zhao Yun Yi Cong's tactics, which is nothing more than messing up his flanks with cavalry shooting, and taking the opportunity to find a flaw and crash into the cavalry..

He would not give Zhao Yun another chance.

When the order was passed, Li Yan and Liao Hua stood ready.

In a blink of an eye, the red horse Yi Cong approached the Han army's left formation like a gust of wind. When Liao Hua gave the order, the Han army's arrows were like locusts. , whizzing out.

Zhao Yun dismissed it and waved his whip fiercely.

The red rabbit horse sped out.

Two thousand followers, relying on the speed of the red rabbit horse, actually rushed out before the Han army's arrow rain. Out of range.

Thousands of sharp arrows, all in vain

"Yi obeys orders, rides and shoots!"

Zhao Yun raised his gentian spear.

The two thousand righteous followers immediately bent their bows and nocked arrows.

The divine arm bow launched.

Two thousand sharp arrows whizzed away.

Liao Hua's face changed, and he ordered the soldiers to raise their shields to avoid the arrows.

The next moment, arrows The rain fell.

The sounds of screams immediately came one after another.

The power of the divine arm bow was so powerful that the wooden shields of the Han army could not resist and were all pierced.

In an instant, more than a hundred Han soldiers died under the arrows.

The morale of the Han army was high. With one setback, the formation immediately began to become unstable.

Next, it was time for Zhao Yun to perform like a monkey.

The red horse Yi Cong relied on the red rabbit's speed to leave all the arrows of the Han army behind. The

Yi Cong Then he relied on the tyranny of the divine arm bow to continuously shoot and kill the Han troops.

After several rounds of pulling, the left formation led by Liao Hua gradually showed its flaws.

Liu Bei panicked.

He knew very well that if he continued to be harassed by Zhao Yun, his The left formation will be torn apart.

At that time, the entire army will also disintegrate.

We can no longer sit still and wait for death, we must turn from defense to offense.

Liu Bei unsheathed his swords and shouted:"Send the order to the central army, let me attack!""

The war drums sounded, and the king's flag waved.

More than ten thousand Han army infantry moved with a roar, advancing towards the Wei army's infantry formation in front.

"Big-eared thief, can't you keep your anger?"

Cao Cao smiled coldly, raised his whip and shouted:"Send the order obediently, Mo Dao's army will press forward and crush the enemy in one fell swoop!"

In the Wei army's formation, the sound of attacking war drums also shook the sky.

Gao Shun raised his long sword and shouted:"Soldiers of the Modao Army, if you are advancing or retreating, kill me!"

Three thousand Mo Dao troops, holding their bright Mo Dao high, marched forward in a mighty manner with the sound of killing. The sky and the earth changed color.

When Liu Bei saw it clearly, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers of Wei were the same weapons that had been used in the White Horse Battle. , when he defeated Yuan Shao's Mo Dao of Pu Yuan Dao, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

He regretted it.

But it was too late.

The two armies were thirty steps away, and retreating at this time would definitely cause chaos for the entire army.

Only one Fighting.

Liu Bei's palms were filled with cold sweat, and he could only watch helplessly as the Wei army's Modao army crashed into them.
