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

All the generals were startled.

Cao Cao also looked at Cao Yuan with surprise.

"Ziyou, we can suppress the enemy with ordinary arrows, so why bother using rockets?"

Cao Ren questioned on the spot.

Cao Cao also nodded slightly, waiting for Cao Yuan's explanation.

Cao Yuan asked,"Uncle Zixiao, does he really think that the Sun-Liu coalition wants to attack my camp?"

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the implication of Cao Yuan's rhetorical question.

Cao Cao also wondered:"Ziyou, if it wasn't Sun Ce and Liu Bei who wanted to attack my camp, what could be happening with all this noise of gongs and drums?"

"I thought that this must be Zhuge Liang's trick, just trying to deceive us with arrows."

Cao Yuan didn't try to be mysterious and revealed the mystery.

"An arrow that deceived me?"

Cao Cao's eyes were still confused.

At this time, Cheng Yu suddenly realized

"Your Majesty, Sun Ce rushed all the way from Jiangdong to Jingzhou. He must have traveled lightly, and his military supplies should still be behind him."

"He is afraid of our dragon boats, and he definitely wants to attack first, take advantage of the fact that our navy is not yet fully trained, attack the north bank, and destroy our warships."

"If you want to attack the north bank, what you need most are arrows."

"Therefore, Military Advisor Ziyou speculated that this was Zhuge Liang pretending to attack our camp. He expected that we could not tell the truth from the truth at night, so we could only shoot him with arrows, so that he could use the hull of the boat full of firewood to receive the arrows, thus defrauding our army of arrows!"

Cheng Yu is not weak in resourcefulness. After being reminded by Cao Yuan, he quickly figured out the mystery.

Cao Cao suddenly understood and couldn't help but admired:"It turns out that Zhuge Liang was so cunning and wanted to deceive the king's arrows. Fortunately, he You must see through it in time, otherwise I will be tricked by that Zhuge villager!"

At that moment,

Cao Cao folded his horsewhip and shouted:"Quickly pass the edict to Lu Ziming, asking him to shoot the enemy with rockets instead!"

The king's order was immediately sent to the front.

Lu Meng didn't know Cao Yuan's judgment, so he was naturally suspicious of Cao Cao's decision.

But he did not dare to disobey the king's order, and immediately ordered to stop firing arrows and bring the kerosene to the river beach.

The arrows, which were as dense as the rapid rain, suddenly stopped.

On the river,

Pang Tong, who had come to chat and laugh, suddenly became uneasy when he saw the Wei army's arrow rain suddenly stopped.

"Kong Ming, Cao Cao has Cao Yuan by his side. Maybe he has seen through your plan now. Let's retreat to the south bank quickly."

Pang Tong looked towards the quiet Wei camp, with a hint of worry in his brows.

"Cao Yuan's wisdom is indeed remarkable, but I want to bet this time that he can't see through my plan. Zhuge

Liang, however, looked confident and raised his feather fan:"Give the order, all ships turn around, change sides, and continue to catch arrows!""

The order was passed down.

The forty-odd boats, which had been tilted, slowly turned around, still in the long snake formation, and used the other half of the hull to catch the arrows.

"Kong Ming's straw boat borrowed arrows are so exquisite that even Cao Yuan may not be able to see through them....."

Pang Tong was naturally comforted and temporarily relaxed.

Wei camp.

The kerosene has been brought in, and all the crossbowmen have replaced their arrows with kerosene cloth.

"The crossbowmen obeyed the order and fired rockets!"

Lü Meng slashed his long sword towards the river.

Thousands of rockets roared into the sky, like falling fire. They looked at the river and swept away.

The next moment, the rockets shot down.

"Puffy!"

The five walking boats were ignited in response to the sound.

In normal times, even if the Wei army used rockets to hit the walking boats, they might not be able to ignite them.

But now, the four sides of the walking boats are covered with fake firewood sticks. People were hit by rockets like this, and the fire spread immediately.

In just a blink of an eye, the entire boat was burned into a blazing fire ship.

"Rockets, Wei Jun's arrows, why did they suddenly turn into rockets?"

"It's over, the beast is on fire, run away!"

"Our ship has also been set on fire, please save us.~~"

Horrified screams immediately began to rise one after another, resounding throughout the river.

Countless Han soldiers were all burned by the fire, screaming and crying, and jumped over the river.

In the blink of an eye, they were swallowed by the rolling Yangtze River.

Either be burned to death or drowned!

Pang Tong stuck his head out and looked at the rockets falling from the sky. He was so shocked that he dropped the teacup in his hand.

"Kong Ming, your straw boat borrowing arrows has been discovered, and the Wei army is setting off rockets!"

Pang Tong jerked his head back and shouted tremblingly at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and almost fell from his hand.

His calmness and calmness suddenly disappeared. He thrust his head out and looked out of the boat.

The sky was full of rockets, blazing. The burning rockets immediately illuminated the shocked and stunned expression on his face clearly.

Rockets!

The Wei army was indeed attacking with rockets.

This meant that his plan must have been seen through.

And in the Wei camp, there could be No one but Cao Yuan saw through his plan!

He was played by Cao Yuan again!

"why is that?"

"Why can every one of my strategies, no matter how mysterious and unpredictable, be seen through by him?"

"what is this?"

Zhuge Liang's face was livid, he was gnashing his teeth, and his face was already distorted with anger and confusion.

At this moment, countless rockets were fired from the top of his head, shooting into the sky.

On the left and right sides, five more walking boats were hit by arrows, and they were immediately burned into flames. Fire ship.

Pang Tong shouted in a trembling voice:"Kong Ming, Cao Yuan has seen through the plan. What are you waiting for? Quickly retreat to the south bank. If you delay for a moment, we will all be buried in the sea of ​​fire!" Zhuge Liang was awakened, and regardless of his anger and suspicion, he shouted urgently:"Send the order, all ships turn around and withdraw to the camp.""

The sound of ringing gold echoed in the night sky.

The remaining dozen or so boats immediately turned and tried to escape to the south bank.

Zhuge Liang looked back at the north bank, praying secretly in his heart that Wei Jun's rockets would not hit his boat.

The next moment.

His eyes widened with horror as he watched the rain of fire roaring towards his boat.

Three rockets hit the stern of the boat.

"Hoo ho ho!"

The straw man was immediately ignited, and the raging fire spread quickly.

Zhuge Liang was shocked. He yelled at his soldiers and rowed desperately to escape back to the south bank before the entire boat was burned.

Pang Tong could not care about his counselor's demeanor. He rolled up his sleeves himself and helped the soldiers row the oars.

Zhuge Liang remained reserved, still hesitating whether he should also go rowing together regardless of his image.

"Kong Ming, why are you still standing there stupidly? Why don’t you come and help!"

Pang Tong turned around and shouted at him angrily.

Zhuge Liang was woken up by the scolding, and he didn't care about being elegant and calm. He had to throw down his feather fan and stepped forward to help row together.

It didn't help.

The fire spread too fast and spread from the stern of the boat in the blink of an eye.

Several Han men The soldiers were so frightened that they all jumped into the river and swam towards the unburnt people.

"Kong Ming, what should I do?"

Pang Tong panicked and shouted tremblingly.

Zhuge Liang frowned deeply and sighed bitterly:"We have no choice but to dive into the water to have a chance of saving our lives!"

After that, Zhuge Liang rolled up his robe, threw away his boots, and jumped into the cold Yangtze River without hesitation.
