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

Tai Shi Ci!

The most powerful general in the Wu Kingdom since Sun Ce.

Moreover, he is also proficient in water warfare and cavalry warfare, making him an all-around general.

How could Cao Cao not be happy that such a general was willing to submit to Wei?

But Cao Cao was curious and asked:"Tai Shi Ziyi, I heard that you and Sun Ce are life and death friends, both ministers and friends, and you are willing to surrender to me?"

Tai Shi Ci looked stern and said seriously:"I am here to serve you. Only after Wu Zhi’s death did he submit to the king."

"Sun Ce's death?"

A strange look flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.

Even Cao Yuan on the side was a little surprised.

"Wu's foreign troops were defeated and fled to the shore. Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, however, abandoned the King of Wu and took a boat to escape first, forcing the King of Wu to die."

"Before King Wu committed suicide, he left a legacy to his ministers, ordering them to submit to King Wei and kill the two thieves Zhuge Liang and Lu Su to comfort King Wu's spirit in heaven!"

"Therefore, I asked the Wei Dynasty to accept me so that I could kill the two thieves to fulfill the last wish of the King of Wu."

Taishici didn't bother to lie and conceal, and frankly told the truth about the reasons for surrendering to Wei.

Cao Cao suddenly understood.

He really didn't expect that Taishi Ci came to surrender to him on the order of Sun Ce.

But this was also It showed that Taishi Ci was a man who valued love and righteousness, which made Cao Cao appreciate him even more.

"good!"

"I will allow you to surrender. If there is a chance in the future, I will let you kill the two thieves Zhuge Liang and Lu Su!"

Cao Cao happily accepted the surrender.

Taishi Ci secretly breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands and said:"Thank you so much, king. If I can avenge the king of Wu, I will definitely go through fire and water for the king to repay the kindness of the king!"

"Ziyi please get up quickly. Cao

Cao helped Tai Shi Ci up, patted his shoulder and said with a smile:"It's not a big deal for me to completely destroy the Wu army. It's a great thing to congratulate me on getting a general like Ziyi!""

At that moment, Cao Cao ordered a banquet to celebrate this great achievement.

……

After resting for two days, the Wei army marched eastward again.

Sun Ce was defeated, the main force of the Wu army was wiped out, and everyone in the Wu Kingdom was horrified.

The Wei army marched eastward along the south bank. Along the way, they encountered important towns such as Songyang and Wucheng.

On the north route, Cao Ren also joined forces with the Huainan troops and horses commanded by Zhang Liao at the foot of Ruxu City, and the army took advantage of the opportunity to cross the river.

It's spring.

150,000 Wei troops gathered at the foot of Jianye City.

Jianye City, the capital of the Wu Kingdom and the prosperous city in Jiangdong, is finally in sight.

The city is adjacent to Zhongshan Mountain in the north and is built on the mountain. Therefore, after the Wei army arrived at the city, they could only set up camp on the north and southwest sides.

After setting up camp, Cao Cao summoned his advisers and generals to discuss the plan to break the city in the king's tent.

"How to destroy Jianye? If you have any good ideas, please tell me."

Cao Cao sipped his wine, waved his hands slightly, and his expression was quite relaxed.

After all, Sun Ce is dead. Although Zhuge Liang and others supported Sun Quan as the lord of Jiangdong, Sun Quan was just a child with a yellow mouth, and his prestige and ability were far inferior to that of Sun Ce. He was basically It is not in Cao Cao's eyes.

What's more, the people in Jianye City are panicked, and the total number of soldiers is less than 20,000.

In Cao Cao's eyes, it is easy to defeat Jianye.

The pride of the generals was ignited, and they spoke one after another.

The opinions of the majority of people were naturally based on Tianwei cannon blasted Jianye City, and then relied on the advantage of 150,000 troops to besiege it on three sides.

With an overwhelming advantage, Jianye City was destroyed!

"Your Majesty, I believe that although our army has the advantage, it may not be able to easily attack Jianye."

The newly appointed Taishi Ci poured cold water on him.

The generals' excitement and confidence immediately fell silent.

Cao Cao waved his hand, indicating that he should continue speaking.

"Jianye City is different from Chaisang and other cities. This city is built according to Zhongshan Mountain."

"Zhongshan is rich in rocks, so when Bo Fu built the city, he used local materials and rocks from Zhongshan."

"Therefore, this city is the strongest in the world. Even the king's powerful cannon cannot be destroyed."

Tai Shici first told the greatness of Jianye City's defense.

Then, he changed the subject again.

"In the battle of Chaisang, although Wu lost many generals, there were still many brave and capable generals such as Huang Gai, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng, and Zhou Tai."

"These people are all loyal to the Sun family and will definitely assist Sun Quan and fight to the death."

"Although Wu's army is small, if he is determined to defend the city with Jianye, even though our army has 150,000 troops, we may not be able to attack it in a moment."

Cao Cao frowned and nodded slightly.

Tai Shici was once a general of Wu State. Of course, he has the most say on the reality of Jianye City.

"According to Ziyi, it may not be easy to defeat Jianye City quickly."

Cao Cao murmured to himself, with a hint of worry in his brows.

At this moment,

Dian Wei hurriedly entered the account and brought the latest urgent report from Shu.

Ma Teng and his son had mobilized all the Xiliang army. Hanzhong went south and launched an attack on Liu Zhang.

Ma Chao used Jia Xu's plan to win consecutive battles, and the army broke through Baishui Pass and Jiameng Pass. The troops were approaching Jiange!

In the king's tent, there was immediately a discussion.

Guo Jia sighed:" Military advisor Ziyou really planned to make a plan. Ma Teng and his son went to Long to look at Shu, and as expected they started a war against Liu Zhang."

"In just one month, the Xiliang army reached the Jiange Pass. Once this pass was broken, the Shu territory was unprotected, and the Xiliang cavalry could reach the gates of Chengdu."

"Your Majesty, it seems that Liu Zhang can't hold on for much longer."

Cheng Yu also sighed.

Cao Ren also said:"If Ma Teng defeats Liu Zhang, he will take over Yongliang and Bashu, and his power will expand to a very important level. It seems that we must destroy Jianye quickly, pacify Jiangdong, and fight as soon as possible. That's it."

The generals were talking about it for a while, and they were quite afraid of the rise of the Ma family.

However, after many discussions, they could not come up with a clever plan to quickly destroy Jianye.

When the discussion was at a standstill, the curtain was raised, and Cao Yuan stepped in In the tent. As soon as the first counselor of the Wei Dynasty arrived, the generals' eyes suddenly lit up and they were all happy.

Cao Cao's eyes also lit up and he said curiously:"Ziyou, I want you to rest in Chaisang. There is no need to rush to Jianzhou." Ye Renhe, why are you here so soon?"

"When I was in Chaisang, I learned that Ma Teng had arrived at Jiange. I expected that the king wanted to destroy Jianye quickly so that he could return to the Central Plains to deal with the Ma family and his son, so I came in advance."

Cao Yuan smiled lightly and explained the reason.

"The king who knows his true nature is Ziyou!"

Cao Cao sighed and said:"I, the king, and the ministers just now were discussing how to destroy Jianye quickly. Ziyou, since you came well prepared, you must have a clever plan. Come and hear it."

All the ministers pricked up their ears and listened with great expectations.

Cao Yuan took a sip of tea and said calmly:"The king wants to conquer Jianye. Before attacking the city, there is one thing he must do first."

"What's the matter?"

Cao Cao asked with his eyes widened.

Cao Yuan raised two fingers and said two words:

"Attack the heart!"
