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

Wei Yan actually wants to rebel!

In front of so many soldiers, he openly called him a"big-eared thief".

Liu Bei was instantly furious, and a mouthful of old blood hit his throat.

"Wei Yan, you disloyal and unjust traitor!"

"This king treats you well, how dare you betray me, how can your conscience be at ease!"

Liu Bei pointed his riding whip at Wei Yan and almost roared.

"On that day, I was ordered by you to pick up the Huang family's father and daughter. In order to regain Zhuge Liang's fiancée, I would not hesitate to pursue her to the death."

"In order to show your favor to Zhuge Liang, you even wanted to kill me!"

"You are such a heartless and unjust bastard, you are not worthy of my, Wei Yan, loyalty to you!"

Wei Yan pointed his sword at Liu Bei and vented all his grievances.

"Wei Yan, you, you——"

Liu Bei was choked until his face turned red, and he was so angry that his eyes almost burst.

With the blood rushing to his heart, he screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"King!"

Generals Huang Zhong and Liao Hua on the left and right stepped forward to support them in fear.

On the top of the city,

Wei Yan still felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, so he said loudly"Listen, gentlemen of Jingzhou, Liu Daer, a hypocritical hypocrite, is not worthy of our Jingzhou people working for him. If you don’t want to be buried with him, then I surrender to the King of Wei immediately!"

The Jingzhou soldiers behind him were in an uproar. They looked at each other, their eyes were shaken.

"Wei Yan, you thief, I want to kill you.~~"

Liu Bei roared and cursed.

Angry and angry, another mouthful of old blood vomited out

"Your Majesty, calm down and take care of yourself!"

Huang Zhong tried to persuade him.

Li Yanze said calmly:"Your Majesty, only Wei Yan is rebelling now and is occupying the north gate. The guards at other gates may not rebel as well. Let's quickly go around to other gates and enter the city!"

These words immediately made Liu Bei calm down.

After a moment's hesitation, Liu Bei wiped off the blood stains and shouted sternly:"Send the order, follow me into the city from the east gate, and destroy the traitor!"

So, Liu Bei led more than 10,000 defeated troops, bypassed the north gate and looked at the east gate. The top of the city.

Seeing Liu Bei leaving in embarrassment, Wei Changchang let out a breath of bad breath and shouted happily.

Then he thought again, his subordinates There are only 700 tribes, which is not enough to seize the other three gates and occupy Xiangyang.

"For the current plan, the only way is to invite King Wei into the city quickly! Wei

Yan changed his mind and immediately sent his confidants out of the city to go north to welcome Cao Cao into the city.

……

On the south bank of the Han River, there is the water camp of the Han army.

Zhuge Liang was standing with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at the performance of the Wei navy in Han Dynasty.

Commander Lu Meng's dragon boat has been racing for a long time with loud gongs and drums and blaring horns.

But there was still no attack.

Of course Zhuge Liang knew that Lu Meng was bluffing, covering the 100,000 Wei army, and crossing the river via the floating bridge upstream.

"Unexpectedly, Cao Yuan was so resourceful that he could come up with such a whimsical way to cross the river as a pontoon bridge. This man is truly a unique person.~~"

Yiji clicked his tongue and sighed.

Zhuge Liang said coldly:"So what, if the king goes here, he will surely seize the pontoon bridge and let him waste his efforts." He finished his words.

A flying horse entered the camp and dismounted. It was Zhou Cang.

"General Zhou, can your Majesty repel the Wei army and seize the bridge?"

Zhuge Liang asked impatiently before Zhou Cang could stand firm.

Zhou Cang sighed bitterly and said sadly:"The king was defeated by Cao's thieves and failed to capture the bridge. Now he is retreating to Xiangyang. He ordered the general to send an order to the army immediately. He led all the soldiers and horses left behind and retreated to Xiangyang."

Zhuge Liang was shocked and froze on the spot.

The Han soldiers on the left and right exploded with a bang, and there was an immediate uproar.

Yi Ji sighed:"After all, the Wei army defeated the Han River, alas.~~"

Zhuge Liang suddenly clenched his feather fan.

Yi Ji's unintentional sigh sounded to him as if he was insinuating his misstep.

Taking a deep breath, Zhuge Liang forced himself to calm down, his face barely keeping calm.

He shook his feather fan and said disapprovingly:"So what if Cao Cao's thieves crossed the Han River? We still have the fortified city of Xiangyang and tens of thousands of soldiers, with the entire Jingzhou as our back. The situation is still under our control."

Yi Ji Being scolded, he remained silent.

Zhuge Liang raised his feather fan and said:"Send the order, the army will abandon the camp immediately and retreat to Xiangyang to join the king." When the order was passed, the more than 20,000 Han troops who stayed in Shuiying immediately left the camp and hurriedly retreated towards the west gate of Xiangyang.

Dusk.

Zhuge Liang's troops met up with Liu Bei's defeated army that was encircling the city.

"Why doesn't the king enter the city through the north gate, but instead goes around to the east gate?"

Zhuge Liang asked suspiciously when he saw Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's face was full of anger, and he gnashed his teeth, telling the story of Wei Yan's rebellion and seizing the North Gate.

Zhuge Liang's figure was shaken, and his face froze again.

He was absent-minded for a long time.

Zhuge Liang He sighed and blamed himself:"I have long seen that Wei Yan is a traitor and has a traitor in his head. I really shouldn't have persuaded your majesty at the beginning. I should have let your majesty kill him. This is all my fault.""

"Forget it, the matter has come to this, and the military advisor does not need to blame himself. Liu

Bei waved his hand,"Let's enter the city from the east gate now, take back Xiangyang, and kill the traitor!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said,"My lord, I'm afraid it's too late now.""

Liu Bei was stunned.

"The traitor Cao will follow the king and rush to Xiangyang. Since Wei Yan has rebelled, he will definitely welcome the traitor Cao into the city through the north gate."

"Even if our army successfully enters the city, it will not be able to recapture the north gate, and Cao's bandit's follow-up army of 100,000 people will continue to cross the river and come to Xiangyang to meet up."

"By then, not only will we not be able to recapture Xiangyang, but our entire army will be annihilated here!"

Zhuge Liang silently stated his interests.

Liu Bei suddenly realized the truth and couldn't help but sighed:"Xiangyang is the capital of my king and the heart of Jingzhou. How can I just give it to the thief Cao like this? I am not willing to accept it!"

"Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. Your Majesty, don’t worry about the gains and losses of one city or one place."

"Although Xiangyang is lost, we still have Jiangling, Xiakou, and the four counties of Jingnan."

"I believe that the king should put his strength first and immediately withdraw all his troops to Jiangling. After regrouping, it will not be too late to go north to recapture Xiangyang. Zhuge

Liang said this.

Liu Bei sighed bitterly:"Well, at this point, besides retreating to Jiangling, what other choice does the king have?""

At that moment, Liu Bei ordered the entire army to retreat to Jiangling.

"Your Majesty, if our army retreats in a hurry, Cao’s thieves will definitely pursue us"

"The Wei army has many cavalry, but our army is all infantry. We are afraid that if we cannot retreat far, the Wei army will catch up."

"At that time, our army was in panic and its morale was low. We were afraid that it would collapse at the first touch and be in danger of annihilation."

Li Yan reminded with a solemn expression.

Liu Bei shuddered and said hurriedly:"Yes, military advisor, the Wei army's cavalry are all red rabbits, and they move like the wind. How can we get rid of them?"

Zhuge Liang was silent, weighing countermeasures.

After a long time, a cold and cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, at this point, we have only one way to stop the Wei army’s pursuit."

"any solution?"Liu Bei's eyes lit up.

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and slowly said four words:

"Take people across the river with you!"
