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

Even the anger on Sun Ce's face turned into shock.

He originally thought that Liu Bei's interception of Huarong Dao would only miss him at most.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei was captured by Cao Cao.

He was also beheaded by Cao Cao!

"Phew!"

Zhuge Liang fell to the ground, his expression as if his soul was gone.

His long-cherished wish in life was to assist Liu Bei, re-establish the Han Dynasty, and kill the two Cao Cao.

But now, Liu Bei is dead.

His spiritual sustenance seemed to collapse at this moment.

"Great King, how can you abandon your ministers before your great cause is accomplished?~~"

Zhuge Liang lay on the ground, looked north, and burst into tears.

Seeing him so sad, Lu Su on the side was also in tears at this moment.

"That Cao Yuan not only saw through our fire attack plan, but he also figured out that the King of Han was about to intercept Cao's thieves!"

"This person's intelligence is really incredible and unpredictable....."

Lu Su sighed, in addition to sadness and anger, there was more fear in his brows.

"Cao Yuan~~"

Zhuge Liang, in grief and anger, suddenly jumped up

"I, Zhuge Liang, swear here, if I cannot kill you and avenge my lord, I, Zhuge Liang, will be punished by heaven and earth, and I will not die a good death.~~"

He faced Jiangbei, let out a heart-rending roar, and swore a poisonous oath to the sky.

Sun Ce originally wanted to blame Zhuge Liang, but now that Liu Bei was dead and Zhuge Liang looked so sad and angry, most of his resentment was dissipated.

Just then.

Zhuge Liang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up and came to Sun Ce. He took a deep breath and knelt down in front of Sun Ce.

"Mr. Kong Ming, what do you mean?"

Looking at Zhuge Liang lying on the ground, Sun Ce looked confused and puzzled.

Zhuge Liang raised his hands and said,"Although I am not talented, I am willing to do my best to assist the king in defeating the Cao thieves and achieve a great cause. I hope the king will not give up and take him in!""

Sun Ce was confused.

What is going on?

Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's mastermind, is he going to turn himself into the master?

Lu Su was the first to react and said happily:"Your Majesty, Kong Ming has talents in the world, and with him assisting your Majesty, Why worry about not being able to achieve great things!"

Sun Ce suddenly came to his senses.

Liu Bei is dead, and Zhuge Liang has become a lonely ghost.

Therefore, Wolong has no choice but to switch to his own subordinates.

Zhuge Liang wants to use his power to kill Ercao. Avenge Liu Bei!

His motive for taking refuge in him was just to avenge Liu Bei.

This made Sun Ce very unhappy.

But then he thought again, Zhou Yu was dead and he had lost his mastermind.

And although Zhuge Liang was not as resourceful as Cao Yuan , but he is also the most resourceful counselor below Cao Yuan.

With the assistance of Zhuge Liang, he barely has a chance to fight with Cao Yuan.

If not, looking at Jiangdong, only Lu Su and Zhang Zhao and his like are left, who is still capable? Can compete with Cao Yuan.

Zhuge Liang has no choice, so Sun Ce has no choice.

After weighing it for a long time,

Sun Ce sighed secretly, and had to help Zhuge Liang up, and said seriously:"Kong Ming, don't worry, as long as you can Do your best for me, and sooner or later I will kill the two caos and avenge your old master!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him again.

The names of kings and ministers were decided.

Zhuge Liang immediately said:"Your Majesty, our army suffered heavy losses in the battle of Chibi and is no longer able to fight for Jingzhou. I think it is best for your Majesty to retreat from Chaisang immediately.!"

Sun Ce's eyes flashed with displeasure.

Zhuge Liang had just surrendered to him, and his first plan was to let him escape back to Chaisang in despair!

This made him very unhappy.

You know, at the beginning he ignored Zhang Zhao and many other ministers. Under Zhou Yu's support, he led his army to Jingzhou to fight Cao Cao. He originally expected that after defeating Cao Cao in this battle and engulfing Jingzhou, he would use his achievements in opening up territory to suppress the officials who opposed him. At the same time

, he would

, he can also use this great achievement to establish his unparalleled power and make all the families in Jiangdong who are resisting him willing to surrender.

But now.

More than half of the 60,000-strong army has been lost, and only two thousand battleships are left. Hundreds, even Han Dang, a veteran, and Zhou Yu, the mastermind, also died in this battle.

Wouldn't it be a disgrace for him to retreat to Chaisang now? Not to mention Zhang Zhao and others would see his joke, I'm afraid Jiangdong's people are also upset. , those families will definitely be ready to take action and rise up.

"You can never go back to Chaisang! Sun

Ce's face was ashen and he said resolutely:"Although I am defeated, I still have 30,000 troops and horses available. As long as I can defend Chibi, what can Cao's thieves do to me!"

Zhuge Liang was taken aback and said anxiously:"Your Majesty, you ca n't——"

"Kong Ming, you don’t need to persuade me anymore! Sun

Ce interrupted him and said proudly:"Send the order and quickly order Zhongmou to increase his troops from Jiangdong to Chibi. I want to fight the traitor Cao until he retreats to the north!""

Zhuge Liang wanted to persuade him again.

But Lu Su secretly shook his head at him, suggesting that he should not touch Sun Ce's rebellion again.

Zhuge Liang had no choice but to sigh in his heart.

……

The next day.

The clouds are thick and the wind is howling.

At Wei Camp on the north bank, the sound of horns pierced the early morning silence.

More than 300 Wei army dragon boats formed an iron chain and came towards Chibi Wu army.

Dragon boat flagship.

Cao Cao and Cao Yuan stood side by side. The father and son looked down at Wu Ying coldly, determined to win.

"Ziyou, as expected, Sun Ce did not abandon the camp and flee, but still defended Chibi!"

Cao Cao looked at his son beside him with a smile.

Cao Yuan sneered:"Sun Ce is arrogant and arrogant. He is afraid that if he returns to Chaisang, his reputation will be ruined, and he is reluctant to part with the Jiangxia County he obtained from Liu Bei. Naturally, he is holding on to a glimmer of luck. They want to huddle up and defend Red Cliff, thinking that we can't attack it!"

"Then let Sun Ce have a taste of lifting a rock and smashing himself in the foot! Cao

Cao laughed loudly, raised his whip and shouted:"Send orders to all ships to show off our powerful cannons.""

Lu Meng immediately sent the order down.

The flag of the flagship waved.

On the boat formations, canvases were lifted one after another, and the behemoths hidden underneath revealed their faces of fear.

The mighty cannon!

The most powerful siege weapon in history.

Such a huge trebuchet was originally impossible to board a ship, even a giant ship like a dragon boat. However, the iron chain boat presented by Lu Su allowed more than ten dragon boats to form a sea fortress, which was enough Accommodate the Tianwei cannon.

The sound of war drums shook the sky.

Nearly a hundred Tianwei cannons were launched at the same time.

The rain of stones in the sky, like falling stars, roared towards the Chibi Wu Camp.

On the shore,

Sun Ce immediately raised his spear, eyebrows raised. Conceit is still burning, waiting for a head-on blow from the Wei army.

"Thief Cao, I am no match for you in a water battle. If you want to storm the south bank, it is just a daydream!"

"Just come over here! Sun

Ce snorted coldly, and swung his silver spear:"All the sons of Wu Kingdom, cheer up for me, and never let a single Wei soldier step on it."——"

The inspiring words have not yet been spoken.

On the river, rolling thunder suddenly sounded.

Countless boulders, overwhelming the sky, roared towards the water camp.

Sun Ce's eyes suddenly widened, and the pride on his face was instantly replaced by shock and horror.
