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

Chibi, Wu Camp.

Hundreds of Han naval vessels slowly sailed into the water camp.

A dejected Han soldier silently got off the warship, all of them in low spirits.

The moment he boarded the water camp, Liu Bei felt relieved, and his tense nerves just relaxed.

"King!"

Zhuge Liang, who was on the trestle, hurriedly came forward to see him.

When Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang, he sighed bitterly:"Military advisor, as you said, I will stand firm without fighting. Who would have thought that Cao Yuan would use such means? well——"

"The king has tried his best, but Cao Yuan was too deceitful. The king should not blame himself."

Zhuge Liang said with relief.

"Military advisor, Feng'er he also……"

Liu Bei burst into tears when he mentioned his adopted son.

Zhuge Liang could only feel relieved again. to the end.

Only then did he remember his mentor and asked:"Your Majesty, where is my teacher? Is he well?""

"Mr. Shui Jing——"

Liu Bei's face reappeared with grief and anger, and he said bitterly:"His old man failed to evacuate Jiangling in time and was captured by Cao's thieves. He was beheaded by Cao's thieves. Now his head is still hanging on the gate of Jiangling!"

Zhuge Liang was shocked! , the feather fan in his hand was broken with a"click".

Endless anger and sadness swept through his body in an instant.

He froze in place, in a daze, and remained silent for a long time.

"military adviser……"

Liu Bei wanted to comfort him in turn, but he didn't know how to speak.

After a long time, Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, shook half of the feather fan again, and the grief and anger on his face forcibly turned into indifference and calmness.

"Don’t worry, your Majesty, Wu’s navy has arrived, and Cao’s thieves’ rampage has come to an end."

"In this battle, Cao Cao will be defeated!"

"Sooner or later, those two Cao will repay the hatred of the eldest son and his mentor Liang tenfold!"

Zhuge Liang's calm and confident tone concealed endless revenge and anger.

Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and in his gray eyes, it seemed that hope had finally been rekindled.

"Where is Sun Ce?"

He looked around, but could not see Sun Ce's figure, and he couldn't help but frown. As the king of Han, this Red Cliff is still his territory. When he came in person, Sun Ce did not come to greet him.

This was obviously a deliberate indifference to him!

Zhuge Liang lowered his voice. The voice reminded:"Sun Ce has 60,000 soldiers. We still need to rely on him to repel Cao Cao and help us regain our lost territory. Your Majesty, please be patient."

This was a hint that Sun Ce was deliberately keeping him in the dark and wanted to give him power.

Liu Bei understood, so he had no choice but to disagree and said:"A man can bend and stretch, so don't worry, military advisor. I am the best at enduring humiliation and burden."

Zhuge Liang was relieved and led Liu Bei to the king's tent to visit Sun Ce. Inside the king's tent

,

Sun Ce pretended to be with Zhou Yu and Pang Tong, pointing at the map and discussing military affairs.

Liu Bei had obviously come in, but he pretended not to notice. , and continued to leave Liu Bei aside.

Zhuge Liang had to cough a few times to remind Sun Ce.

Sun Ce continued to pretend to be confused.

"Your Majesty, the King of Han has arrived."

Pang Tong didn't want to embarrass Liu Bei too much, so he reminded him in a low voice.

Sun Ce then turned around. When he saw Liu Bei, he pretended to be surprised and complained:"The King of Han is here, why didn't you tell me earlier."

After that,

Sun Ce smiled and said:"I have heard about the name of the King of Han for a long time, and I am really lucky to be able to see the King of Han today. Only then did Liu

Bei's expression improve. He also smiled and complimented,"The King of Wu is so brave that he has been admired for a long time. It is an honor for him to meet him.""

Living under someone's roof and asking for help from others, Liu Bei did not dare to call himself"my king" in front of Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was quite satisfied with his groveling attitude, so he treated him politely and invited them to have a drink. Guests and hosts were seated separately, and there was another business exchange.

"Yu heard that Jiangling City was one of the strongest cities in the world, and the King of Han used his troops like a god. How could it be captured by Cao Cao's thieves in just half a month?"

Zhou Yu refused to mention any pot, deliberately embarrassing Liu Bei and mocking his incompetence.

Liu Bei blushed, and felt embarrassed for a moment when faced with Zhou Yu's insinuation.

He could only look at Zhuge Liang

"Jiangling City is naturally indestructible, and my king’s military skills are known to everyone in the world."

"But who would have thought that Cao Cao was so cunning and cunning that he could come up with such methods to destroy the city?"

"If he was exposed in Jiangling, he would naturally be able to see through Cao Yuan's deceit, and the Cao thieves would never be able to capture Jiangling."

Zhuge Liang looked calm and explained to Liu Bei.

Zhou Yu's sarcasm was dismissed by him calmly. He was speechless for a while and just sneered.

The atmosphere was not harmonious for a while.

When Pang Tong saw this, he smiled and said:" There is no need to mention what happened before. Now that the king of my family has arrived, the two families have joined forces, and the advantage is already on our side. It is time to discuss how to defeat the Cao thieves."

Liu Bei said yes again and again.

Zhuge Liang took advantage of the situation and said:"The traitor Cao has captured Jiangling, and he will go east along the river and go straight to Chibi. We have to discuss how to defeat the traitor Cao."

"The confrontation on the Yangtze River was nothing more than a water battle. Sun

Ce's face showed a proud look,"Don't worry, King Han, you don't need to take action. If the Cao thief dares to come, I will let him know who is the overlord of the Yangtze River!""

With the momentum of his words, he didn't take Cao Cao into consideration at all.

"The navy of King Wu is naturally the strongest navy in the world."

"However, although the Cao thief navy had few warships, the dragon boat built by Cao Yuan was the strongest ship in history."

"To be prepared, it should not be underestimated."

Liu Bei has suffered too many losses, and now he does not dare to be too confident.

But Sun Ce said:"I have heard of this dragon boat. It is indeed the largest ship in ancient and modern times, but I don't know how many such ships Cao Cao has. ?"

"Fifty ships! Liu

Bei replied without thinking.

"Only fifty ships?"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other, with a disdainful sneer on their faces.

"Even if the dragon boat is the largest ship in history, there are only fifty of them."

"I have a thousand warships, plus the hundreds of warships you have, the King of Han, can't I still defeat his mere fifty giant ships?"

Sun Ce's brows were filled with extreme arrogance.

Liu Bei was speechless for a moment.

Looking at the confident little overlord of Jiangdong in front of him, the hope in his heart couldn't help but increase a little more.

"The King of Han no longer needs to be afraid of Cao Cao. As long as your information is correct, Cao Cao really only has fifty dragon boats. If he dares to come to Chibi, my king will never let him come back!"

Zhou Yu even made bold words, and his confidence was no less than that of Sun Ce.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, with the same relieved smile flashing in their eyes.

At this moment, they finally saw the dawn of defeating Cao Cao.

……

Five days later.

One hundred thousand Wei troops marched by land and water and arrived at Wulin on the north bank of Red Cliff.

The Wei army set up camp and set up a flood and drought camp on the north bank.

Sun Ce and others stationed on the south bank to watch the Wei army's strength.

One after another, giant dragon boats sailed into the water camp.

Sun Ce's eyes widened, and his confident and domineering look gradually turned into shock.

The dragon boats of the Wei army were not the fifty that Liu Bei said.

There are three hundred ships!

"King Han, what’s going on?"

Sun Ce suddenly turned around and asked Liu Bei angrily.

Liu Bei's face was stunned, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was panicking and didn't know how to answer.
