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

"My plan is actually simple, it is nothing more than digging a tunnel."

Cao Yuan said lightly.

Digging a tunnel?

Cao Cao's originally expectant eyes suddenly dimmed a little.

"Military advisor, Yu doesn’t underestimate the strategy of military advisor"

"It's just that this authentic tactic has always been one of the ways to destroy a city."

"But Liu Bei has been commanding the army for many years. Although Zhuge Liang is not in Jiangling, there are still Sima Hui and others around him. It is impossible for them not to remind Liu Bei to prevent our army from digging tunnels into the city."

"Yu thought that it would not be easy for us to sneak into the city without being monitored by the Han army. Cheng

Yu said a few words, questioning the feasibility of this tunnel strategy.

Cao Cao also said:"Yes, if I were Liu Bei, I would definitely bury water tanks under the city wall to prevent surveillance of our army secretly digging tunnels into the city!""

"Of course I know that the big-eared thief will take precautions. Cao

Yuan took a sip of tea and smiled secretly:"However, I have a way to prevent the big-eared thieves from listening, and our army secretly dug tunnels.""

"really? Cao

Cao's eyes welled up with joy again, and he asked urgently:"What clever plan does Ziyou have to hide from the surveillance of the big-eared thief?""

"This is my plan……"

Cao Yuan lowered his voice and explained his plan.

Everyone suddenly realized.

Cheng Yu couldn't help but admired:"Commander Ziyou's plan is really an unexpected one. Liu Bei would never have thought of it."

All the ministers nodded in agreement.

"Well done, you deserve to be Ziyou! Cao

Cao laughed loudly and said happily:"I will follow your plan and give the big-eared thief a surprise!""

……

Jiangling City, palace.

Liu Bei was studying the secret letter sent by Zhuge Liang, and a look of joy gradually appeared on his brows.

"The military advisor was not only extremely resourceful, but he also had the talent of a lobbyist. As expected, Sun Ce was convinced by him and was willing to lead his army to Jingzhou to help the king fight against the Cao thieves!"

All the ministers in the palace were excited for a moment.

But Liu Feng said disdainfully:"My son has the Five Tigers of Jingnan. He doesn't need Sun Ce to come to help, and he has the confidence to defeat Cao's thieves. Father, there is no need to ask for help from Sun Ce."

"Feng'er, my father knows that you are very powerful. The Five Tigers of Jingnan are also famous generals in the world. However, Cao's thieves are powerful and should not be underestimated. They still have to join forces with Sun Ce to defeat them."

Liu Bei saw that his son was too arrogant, so he had to suppress his arrogance.

Liu Feng swallowed and had to remain silent.

"Your Majesty, it will take at least ten days for the Wu army to reach Jingzhou. Now is not the time to sit back and relax."

"The officials predict that Cao's bandits will soon attack the city in force. The most important thing for us now is how to hold Jiangling until the Wu army arrives."

Yi Ji reminded him calmly.

Liu Bei nodded slightly and agreed.

Liu Feng, however, disagreed and said:"The traitor Cao wants to break Jiangling. He just bombards it with the mighty cannon. We have thickened the city wall, so what else can we do? Be afraid."

Yi Ji's reminder was dismissed and he couldn't help but remain silent.

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and sneered:"In that case, it shouldn't be a problem for us to hold Jiangling until the military advisor brings Wu troops to help."

The words just fell.

Sima Hui coughed a few times, cupped his hands and said:"King of Han, I think that Jiangling City is located on flat ground, so we should be on guard against that thief Cao, who can secretly dig tunnels and sneak into our city."

Liu Bei suddenly became alert.

"Therefore, I want to ask the king to issue an edict to bury a large vat every fifty steps inside the city wall, and send soldiers to monitor the sounds under the ground at all times, day and night."

"In this way, once the thief wants to dig a tunnel, we will be aware of it"

"At that time, only a deep chasm will be dug along the city, and the Cao thief's tunnel will naturally be of no use!"

Sima Hui spoke eloquently and offered Liu Bei a strategy to deal with it.

"Mr. Shui Jing is worthy of being the Master of Crouching Dragon!"

Liu Bei clicked his tongue in admiration and said happily:"Sir, even if the thief Cao is assisted by Cao Yuan, I will see how he can destroy our Jiangling City!"

Sima Hui lightly stroked his white beard, and a bit of pride appeared on his ugly face.

At this moment, deafening drum beats suddenly sounded outside the hall.

The smile on Liu Bei's face disappeared, and he suddenly became alert.

The guards entered , shouted:"Your Majesty, the Wei army in the north of the city is killing me with loud noises. It seems that they are going to attack my north gate!""

Liu Bei frowned and did not dare to delay. He immediately jumped up and ran straight to the North Gate.

At the same time, Liu Feng also mobilized his troops and horses, and they all climbed onto the North Gate wall, preparing to fight.

Liu Bei climbed up Looking up from the city tower, you can see the faint silhouette of the Wei army at the end of the fire.

The sound of drums is like thunder, and the sound of killing is endless.

With this formation, it is obvious that countless Wei troops are approaching, and there is a big night attack. Liu Bei held his sword in his hand and said coldly:"Thief Cao, I am waiting for you to attack, come on!"

Along the city, the Han army had grasped their swords and guns and prepared for a bloody battle.

The sound of drums and killings lasted for more than half an hour.

The Wei army, hidden in the night, did not show up to attack the city.

Suddenly, the sound of killings and drums fell silent for a moment.

Outside the north gate of Jiangling, peace and tranquility immediately returned.

Liu Bei frowned and murmured:"Could it be that Cao Cao gave up the attack when he saw that the king was on guard? Is it a success?...."

The Wei army retreated without a fight, and the Han soldiers on the left and right breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Bei didn't think much about it and ordered his soldiers to return to camp to rest and recuperate, leaving only the men and horses on patrol to continue monitoring.

It was already dark at this time, so Liu Bei ordered the generals to disperse, and he dragged his exhausted body back to the palace.

He was getting ready to take off his armor and rest.

Sudden.

The thunderous sound of war drums rang in my ears again

"what happened?"

Liu Bei immediately grabbed the sword he had just put down and shouted vigilantly.

The guards rushed in and cupped their hands and said:"Your Majesty, Ximen is reporting. The Wei army seems to be showing signs of attacking the city. Please increase your troops to Ximen quickly.! Liu

Bei suddenly realized, gritted his teeth and said:"It turns out that it was just a feint attack before. The gate that Cao Cao really wanted to attack was the west gate!""

At that moment, Liu Bei put on his armor again, left the palace, and headed straight for the west gate.

When he arrived at the west gate, Liu Feng, Huang Zhong, and even Sima Hui and others also rushed to the west gate after hearing the news.

Many of them were still sleepy, obviously. As soon as he fell asleep, he was awakened by the drums and killing sounds of the Wei army, and hurried to Ximen.

"The Cao thief just pretended to attack the north gate, but now is the real attack. You all should brace yourself and prepare to give the Cao thief a head-on attack!"

Liu Bei drew his sword in his hand and shouted encouragement.

Liu Feng and other soldiers had no choice but to put aside their sleepiness, cheer up, and prepare for the battle. The sound of killing drums continued.

Everyone in the Han army was nervous and prepared to fight to the death.

Unknowingly, Another half hour has passed.

The people of Li are approaching, and the white fish belly has appeared in the east.

The Han army, which was waiting in a tight formation, all wilted and yawned.

The Wei army still did not attack.

"Thief Cao, what on earth are you playing?"

Liu Bei frowned, and deep confusion filled his eyes.

At this moment, the sound of killing drums disappeared in an instant.

The Wei army retreated without fighting again!

Liu Bei was confused.
