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

Liu Bei shuddered.

Sun Ce is not planning to let Zhuge Liang go.

Zhuge Liang did issue a military order on this matter, but now he has not been able to complete it.

Sun Ce wanted to use the topic to punish Zhuge Liang, which was justifiable.

"Liang originally wanted to defraud the thief Cao into getting arrows and offer them to the king to help the king defeat the thief Cao."

"Liang really didn't expect that Cao Yuan could be so smart and see through the minister's plan."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Zhuge

Liang felt wronged and knew that Sun Ce was angry. Naturally, he did not dare to use Wolong's reserve anymore, so he had to give in and beg for mercy.

Sun Ce's face darkened and he shouted:"Get Zhuge Liang!""

The guards on the left and right stepped forward fiercely, snatched Zhuge Liang from Liu Bei's hands, and pinned him down in front of Sun Ce.

Liu Bei was shocked and was in a state of confusion. He didn't know what to do.

But Huang Zhong was angry and stepped forward to ask Stop.

Liu Bei was afraid that Huang Zhong was reckless, so he hurriedly stopped Huang Zhong, his eyes hinting that he should not be impulsive.

Then,

Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to plead for mercy:"King Wu, Kong Ming him——"

"The King of Han does not need to plead for mercy! Sun

Ce waved his hand and said sternly:"My king's military discipline has always been strict. Now that he has issued a military order, if I don't punish him, where will the military discipline be and how can I serve the people?" Liu

Bei was choked and speechless.

Zhuge Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, was shocked and looked at Sun Ce in astonishment.

He obviously did not expect that the little overlord of Jiangdong would actually punish him regardless of the alliance between the two families.

For a time, Zhuge Liang was in chaos, and he didn't know how to relieve himself.

Sun Ce waved his hand and said sternly:"Come here, drag Zhuge Liang down, behead him in public, and show the military law!"" As soon as these words came out, even Zhou Yu's expression changed. He did not expect that Sun Ce actually wanted to kill Zhuge Liang.

Liu Bei was even more frightened, and he bowed deeply to Sun Ce:"King Wu, Kong Ming is indeed guilty. But please, King Wu, for my sake, please give Kong Ming a lighter sentence."

In order to protect Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei completely ignored his dignity as the King of Han. He begged Sun Ce and almost knelt down to Sun Ce. But

Sun Ce's face was ashen and unmoved.

"Your Majesty, now is the time for our two families to work together to fight Cao's thieves."

"Although Kong Ming is guilty, if he is executed, it will probably chill the people of Jingzhou."

"I ask your Majesty to be merciful and spare Kong Ming's death, and give him a chance to make meritorious deeds."

Lu Su knelt down and begged for Zhuge Liang's favor.

"Your Majesty, the law is nothing more than human feelings. Since the King of Han and Zijing beg for mercy like this, please give Kong Ming a chance to make up for his past mistakes."

Considering the overall situation, Zhou Yu had to intercede for Zhuge Liang.

Sun Ce had no intention of killing Zhuge Liang. This threat was just to establish his authority and to give Pang Tong a sigh of relief.

Everyone interceded, and this gave him face. , of course there is no need to ask Zhuge Liang.

Sun Ce waved his hand:"That's all, since Gong Jin has spoken, Kong Ming, I will spare you this time, and you won't do it next time!""

Liu Bei was relieved.

Zhuge Liang escaped the disaster. He let out a long breath in his heart and broke out in cold sweat on his back. The guard let go.

Zhuge Liang stood up tremblingly and bowed to Sun Ce:"Thank you for your kindness, your Majesty. Liang will remember your Majesty. admonition."

Liu Bei was busy supporting Zhuge Liang and wanted to take him back to the Han camp to rest.

"Wait! Zhou

Yu stepped forward to stop him and said coldly:"Kong Ming has issued a military order after all. Although the king spares his life, he has to punish him, otherwise how can he convince the people!"

Zhuge Liang's expression changed. Sun Ce understood Zhou Yu's intention and shouted:"Gong Jin's words are reasonable. Kong Ming can be exempted from death penalty, but he cannot escape from living crime. Come on, give him twenty lashes to this king as a warning to others!""

As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Liang changed his face in shock.

He is Wolong!

The mastermind of Liu Bei, the king of Han, and the son of a famous family. Sun Ce actually wanted to whip him in public!

What a shame!

"King of Han——"

Liu Bei also looked shocked and wanted to plead again.

But Sun Ce waved his hand:"This king spares his life, which is an act of mercy beyond the law. King Han, you must be satisfied!"

Liu Bei choked up and swallowed the words, not daring to plead for Zhuge Liang anymore.

Zhuge Liang sighed, and could only forcefully suppress the anger and shame, and let Wu Zu drag him down.

"Bang bang!"

The sound of whips sounded.

Zhuge Liang's screams followed.

Liu Bei turned his head and couldn't bear to look any further, but his eyes secretly stared at Sun Ce.

"Son Sun Ce, when you beat a dog, it depends on the owner. You actually whipped my mastermind in front of me. You are really bullying me!"

"Just wait, after I use you to defeat the Cao thieves, I will make you pay the price for what you did today! Liu

Bei clenched his fists and swore secretly.

The sound of whips and screams echoed over Wu Camp.

……

North bank, Wei camp.

The sky was bright and the wreckage of the fire ship on the river was clearly visible.

Cao Cao sent a patrol boat to check the results of the battle and see if Zhuge Liang was burned to death last night.

Half an hour later

, the boat returned from patrol and brought back a scribe.

The sailor claimed that when he found the scribe, he was already unconscious from an arrow wound. He was lucky enough to survive because he was lying on a wooden board.

"Scholar, could it be that Zhuge Liang?"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered the scribe to be brought up.

Not long after, the soldiers carried an ugly-looking man who was seriously injured and unconscious into the tent.

"People say that Kong Ming has a majestic appearance. I’m afraid this person is not Kong Ming, right?"

Cao Cao stared at that face with doubt in his eyes.

"That Pangshan citizen is also serving in the army. This person must know Kong Ming. Why doesn't the king call him to identify him?"

Cheng Yu suggested.

Cao Cao nodded slightly and ordered Pang Shanmin to be sent here.

After Pang Degong returned to the Wei Dynasty, to show his loyalty, he asked his son Pang Shanmin to become an official and serve Cao Cao.

After a while, the Pang family master hurried to When they arrived at the tent,

Cao Cao pointed to the man on the ground and asked,"Mountain people, is this Zhuge Kongming?"

Pang Shanmin then noticed that there were people lying on the ground, so he lowered his head and looked at it carefully.

"Shi Yuan!"

Pang Shanmin's face suddenly changed, and he rushed forward with a cry of surprise.

"Shi Yuan?"

Cao Cao's eyes were blank.

The people of Pangshan fell to their knees and followed Cao Cao, crying and begging:"Your Majesty, he is not Kong Ming, but my cousin Pang Tong. Please summon the medical officer to come quickly and save my cousin's life!"
