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

"King!"

Sima Hui, Huang Zhong, and other advisers and generals exclaimed and rushed forward.

On the city tower, the Han army was in chaos. The

Wei army formed.

Cao Cao's eyes were always looking in the direction of the east gate.

According to the plan, Gao Shun was at this time. They should have captured the gate and let Zhao Yun's Chi Ma Yi Cong enter the city.

Seeing that it had been an hour since the siege of the city and there was still no movement at the east gate, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart and quietly glanced at Cao Yuan.

He, this Qilin'er, But he actually yawned and felt sleepy.

He looked so lazy, as if he didn't pay attention to the war at hand.

Cao Yuan's performance made Cao Cao relieved.

"Your Majesty, a beacon is rising at the east gate!"

Dian Wei beside him shouted excitedly.

Cao Cao was refreshed and looked up anxiously. Sure enough, he saw three beacons rising into the night sky above the east gate.

"Ziyou, the east gate has been captured, your plan succeeded!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed and slapped Cao Yuan fiercely.

Cao Yuan's sleepiness was dispersed by Cao Cao's slap, and he had no choice but to smile helplessly.

Cao Cao drew his sword in his hand and shouted boldly:"The East Gate has been captured. , the big-eared thieves will definitely collapse without a fight. Send an order to the officers and soldiers to attack the north gate in one go!"

The sound of war drums started again.

When the Wei army officers and soldiers learned that the East Gate had been captured, they immediately became energetic and attacked even more fiercely.

On top of the city.

The eldest son Liu Feng was beheaded and the news that the East Gate had been captured spread all along the city in a blink of an eye.

The hearts of the Han soldiers were high. A heavy setback, and in the blink of an eye people are in panic

"Your Majesty, the East Gate has been captured and Jiangling City cannot be defended. Quickly abandon the city from the South Gate Waterway and evacuate to the river!"

Veteran Huang Zhong persuaded him bitterly.

But Liu Bei sat stiffly on the spot, his face full of grief and anger, tears streaming down his face, and he said nothing.

Seeing this, Yi Ji winked at Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong understood, and ordered them to kiss each other. Wei, force Liu Bei away

"Let me go, I won't leave!"

"I want to live and die with Jiangling City. I want to kill the second cao to avenge my son.~~"

Liu Bei screamed in grief and anger, almost going crazy.

But his body was very honest, he just pretended to flutter a few times, and then let his guards carry him away.

As soon as the King of Han left, the morale of the Han troops along the city line collapsed and they dispersed one after another.

"Cao Yuan, ah Cao Yuan, what trick did you use to let Cao's thieves sneak into Jiangling City without anyone noticing?"

Sima Hui muttered to himself as he looked at the advancing Wei troops, with endless confusion and grief in his eyes.

A sharp arrow passed by his face and broke off several strands of his hair.

Sima Hui suddenly woke up. He came over, shuddered, and turned around to escape with Liu Bei.

"Whoosh!"

Another ray of cold light roared in.

It hit Sima Hui on the back of his shoulder.

He screamed and fell to the ground.

"King, save me, save me——"

Sima Hui lay on the ground, looking at Liu Bei's retreating figure, and cried out sadly and hoarsely for help.

Liu Bei never looked back.

Huang Zhong and others were also focused on escaping and had no intention of caring whether he failed to follow. They hurriedly fled down the city with Liu Bei on their backs.

Tears of despair were already rolling down Sima Hui's ugly face.

The north gate was broken, and countless Wei troops poured in like a torrent.

Flags with the word Wei were raised over the city tower.

The east is white and the sky is bright.

Cao Cao and Cao Yuan entered Jiangling City one after the other and climbed onto the tower.

Looking down at Jiangling, the entire city is shrouded in blood mist, and the corpses of Han soldiers are everywhere.

"Ziyou, if it weren't for your clever plan, how could I have captured this second most important town in Jingzhou within seven days!"

Cao Cao looked at his son beside him with pleased and approving eyes.

Naturally, Cao Yuan had to be humble and did not dare to be arrogant in front of Cao Cao.

"Report to the king that when General Zilong broke through the east gate, he killed Liu Bei's adopted son Liu Feng!"

"Report to your Majesty, our army has captured all four gates of Jiangling and wiped out all the Han troops guarding the city."

"The king was informed that Liu Bei, with less than a thousand men, fled from Shuimen and abandoned the city, and was picked up by Gan Ning and went up the Yangtze River."

Battle reports came one after another, like snow flakes, to the top of the city.

Cao Cao sighed:"The big-eared thief escaped quickly, so let him escape."

"Jiangling is backed by the Yangtze River, so it was expected that Liu Bei would flee up the river when the situation was bad."

"But Zilong beheaded his adopted son and left him dead, which was enough for Liu Bei."

Cao Yuan sneered and comforted.

Cao Cao cheered up and said with a smile:"I heard that in the battle at Dangyang, the big-eared thief killed his own son, and now the fake son was killed by Zilong again. Just as Ziyou said, He is truly amazing!"

The generals on the left and right laughed and shouted happily.

At this time,

Cao Hong rushed over and threw an old man covered in blood and ugly face in front of Cao Cao

"Your Majesty, this old dog Sima Hui was hit by an arrow and failed to escape, so we captured him alive again!"

Cao Hong reported the report with a smile.

A strange look flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at each other.

The two took a closer look and saw that the man lying on the ground with a face full of sorrow, anger and shame was Sima Hui.

"Sima Hui, I let you live in Xiangyang. You never dreamed that you would fall into my hands again so soon."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and sneered, not hiding the sarcasm in his heart.

Sima Hui struggled to get up and looked at Cao Cao and Cao Yuan with complicated eyes.

There was despair, fear, and deep confusion in his eyes.

"Someone, drag this old thief down and kill him!"

Cao Cao didn't bother to appreciate his ugly appearance anymore, and waved his hands and ordered coldly.

The tiger guards on the left and right came forward and wanted to drag Sima Hui away.

"Wait!"

Sima Hui shouted loudly, looking at Cao Cao with sad and pleading eyes.

"King Wei, I fell into your hands and knew that I would die. I accepted my fate."

"I just want you to tell me, what method did you use to let your men and horses sneak into Jiangling City without anyone noticing?"

Sima Hui asked Cao Cao in an almost begging tone.

"It doesn't matter if you die in peace, this is naturally the method of my king's military advisor, the best counselor in the world!"

Cao Cao sneered and pointed at Cao Yuan.

Then, he unhurriedly revealed Cao Yuan's plan to hide the truth from the sky.

"It turned out that he had been beating gongs and drums for days to pretend to attack, not to tire out our troops, but to cover up the movement of digging tunnels!"

"How could Cao Yuan come up with such an incredible strategy?"

"This man is so resourceful that even if Crouching Dragon and Phoenix join forces, they are no match for him!"

Sima Hui, who suddenly realized, looked at Cao Yuan tremblingly, with deep fear in his eyes.

That look was like a mortal looking up to a god.

"Now, you should die in peace."

Cao Cao smiled coldly and flicked his sleeves.

The tiger guards on the left and right stepped forward and dragged Sima Hui away.

"Cao Mengde, you have such a divine assistant, you are really destined to win this world.……"

Crazy and sad screams echoed over the city.
