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

Outside the city of Hefei, the Wu army camped.

In the king's tent.

Sun Ce, King of Wu, was convening his ministers to discuss whether to aid Jingzhou from the west.

"I really didn’t expect that Cao Yuan’s wisdom would be so strong."

"In just a few months, a few clever tricks helped Cao Cao defeat Liu Bei, and even the city of Xiangyang was lost."

"Is this Cao Yuan really that amazing?"

Sun Ce was astonished, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"This Cao Yuan is indeed extraordinary in intelligence and scheming, rarely seen in the world. I think the King of Han and Zhuge Kongming underestimated Cao Yuan's strength to some extent, and that's why they suffered such a disastrous defeat."

The ugly Confucian scholar on the side sighed softly.

The person who spoke was none other than Pang Tong.

"Shi Yuan's words are wrong."

"Kong Ming said that this Cao Yuan was not only very resourceful, but he could also build a huge dragon boat for Cao Cao. He also made the Mo Dao Divine Arm and Bow."

"Does Shi Yuan really believe that there are such omnipotent wizards in this world?"

Zhou Yu sneered, doubting Cao Yuan's strength.

Pang Tongyi was silent for a while.

Sun Ce waved his hand and said:"Let's not talk about Cao Yuan for now. Now Kong Ming has come to ask for help on Liu Bei's order. Please lead me. The army entered Jingzhou to help him fight against Cao Cao's thieves. Do you think I will go or not?"

"Of course I want to go!"

Zhou Yu and Pang Tong said at the same time.

Sun Ce hesitated and asked:"You all asked me to rescue Liu Bei, so you won't fight in Huainan, and Xuzhou won't want it either?"

"With Zhang Liao and Guo Jia in Hefei's favor, our army has been attacking for several months to no avail. I am afraid that if we continue to fight, it will be in vain."

"However, Cao Cao's thief has captured Xiangyang. If he attacks Jiangling again, the entire Jingzhou will be owned by Cao thief."

"Jingzhou is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. If it is acquired by Cao Cao, he will build a large number of warships and sail eastward with the river. The consequences will be disastrous!"

"They all believed that saving Jingzhou was more important than conquering Shouchun."

Pang Tong looked solemn and analyzed the pros and cons.

If Sun Ce realized something, he looked at Zhou Yu again.

"Jingzhou is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It is a must-occupy area. Now Liu Bei invites us to rescue him. The king is just right and leads his army into Jingzhou."

"Liu Bei's vitality is severely weakened. After defeating Cao's thieves, we can take advantage of the situation to swallow him up and capture Jingzhou in one fell swoop."

"At this time, the king will occupy the entire Yangtze River. If he advances, he can compete with Cao Cao for the world, and if he retreats, he can protect the southern half of the Yangtze River!"

"This is a God-given opportunity, don’t miss it!"

Zhou Yu looked excited, and there was a hunting intention between his brows.

Sun Ce suddenly realized it, slapped the case, and said happily:"Gong Jin's words are reasonable. In reply to Kong Ming, I will lead the army westward in a few days and go to Jingzhou to help Liu Bei fight against Cao Cao.!"

……

Jiangling City.

One hundred thousand Wei troops marched south one after another and entered the city.

After Cao Cao gave an order, the Wei army began to set up camps on the northwest and east sides, forming a semi-encirclement of Jiangling City.

Since Jiangling is adjacent to the Yangtze River in the south, and there is a waterway that leads directly to the river from the south gate, the Wei army cannot form an encirclement of Jiangling on all sides.

When the Wei army was setting up camp, Liu Feng led the Jingnan army and entered Jiangling City through Shuimen.

Inside the palace hall

"My son pays homage to his father!"

The young man in heroic attire stepped forward and bowed to Liu Bei.

"Feng'er, you are finally here, I want to die as a father!"

Liu Bei laughed loudly, went down the steps personally to help Liu Feng up, took his son's hand and sat down together.

"Father, mother and brother Adou——"

Liu Feng was about to speak but stopped, and tears of sadness and timidity welled up in his eyes.

Liu Bei let out a long sigh and said sadly:"If the thief Cao hadn't been chasing after him, your mother and brother wouldn't have died. Alas.~~"

"Father, don’t worry! Liu

Feng held up his hands angrily and said,"You will kill the traitor Cao with your own hands and avenge your mother and brother Adou!""

"Okay, okay, with your words, they will be relieved that they have spirits in heaven. Liu

Bei nodded repeatedly, but then changed the topic:"Feng'er, how many troops did you bring with you this time?""

Liu Feng put away his tears

"Er came here this time and mobilized most of the soldiers from the four counties in Jingnan, a total of 15,000 people."

"In addition, there are five generals under his command, known as the Five Tiger Generals of Jingnan, who can also fight for his father!"

Liu Feng's words and expression were quite proud.

"The Five Tiger Generals of Jingnan?"

Liu Bei's eyes lit up.

"These five generals are named Xing Daorong, Yang Ling, Liu Xian, Chen Ying, and Bao Long!"

"These five people are all generals of tigers and bears, especially Xing Daorong, the general of Lingling, who is even more courageous than anyone else!"

Liu Feng obviously admired Xing Daorong very much.

Liu Bei was overjoyed and laughed and said:"With Feng'er, you and the fifteen thousand elite soldiers, and the five tiger generals, Jiangling City is impregnable, even if the Cao thieves come hundreds of times. With tens of thousands of troops, what do you have to fear as a father!"

Liu Feng also laughed loudly, looking arrogant and confident.

Liu Bei was in a good mood, so he ordered a banquet to welcome his good son.

……

In the north of Jiangling City, the Wei army's main camp was located.

In the king's tent, all the generals gathered together

"Report to your Majesty, there is an urgent report coming from Hefei eight hundred miles away. Sun Ce has persuaded Zhuge Liang to withdraw his troops from Hefei and is heading westward along the Yangtze River."

Cao Ren presented the urgent report.

Cao Cao frowned and snorted:"The little overlord is afraid that his lips will die and his teeth will be cold, so he has to rush to Jingzhou to rescue the big-eared thief."

"Sun Ce has an army of 70,000. If he joins forces with Liu Bei, the total number of troops will reach 100,000, which is equal to our army."

"Moreover, the two thieves, Sun and Liu, sit in the fortified city of Jiangling and have the Yangtze River as their back, giving them a geographical advantage."

"However, our troops are all from the north and are not used to the heat of the south. Once we engage in a fierce battle with the enemy, we will definitely be unaccustomed to the climate and will be forced to withdraw our troops."

"So I think we must capture Jiangling before Sun Ce arrives!"

Cheng Yu analyzed the pros and cons and then spoke up.

Cao Cao nodded heavily, waved his hand and said:"Zhong De's words are reasonable. Let's talk about how to defeat Jiangling quickly."

The words just fell.

Cao Ren then said:"If we want to break Jiangling quickly, we can only attack by force. I thought that I would immediately mobilize the powerful cannons of heaven and bombard them day and night. As long as the city wall can be destroyed, there is no need to worry about not being able to break Jiangling."

"According to my detailed report, Liu Bei has mobilized the people to thicken the Jiangling city wall day and night. Although the Tianwei cannon is powerful, it may not be able to break down the city wall."

Zhao Yun reminded him.

Cao Ren was at a loss for words.

The generals were talking about it for a while, but they couldn't come up with a perfect plan.

"Ziyou, do you have any good ideas?"

Seeing that the generals were arguing, Cao Cao could only look at Cao Yuan, who was silent.

Cao Yuan took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly:"My king, don't worry, there is a plan from far away, and Jiangling can be defeated in seven days."

Broken Jiangling in seven days.

What a crazy tone!

Everyone in the tent was in high spirits.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and asked anxiously:"What's Ziyou's clever plan? Tell me quickly!""
