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

"Ma Teng turned from defense to attack and took Hongnong County first. It was indeed a bit surprising."

"However, even if Ma Teng doesn't take action, we will still send troops to destroy him."

"What we have to discuss now is how to destroy him."

Cao Yuan said calmly.

Cao Cao nodded repeatedly, indicating for him to continue.

Cao Yuan called the Yulin Guards, brought the map, and spread it out in front of the palace.

"Ma must strike preemptively, attacking both Hongnong and Hedong County. They just want to lead us by the nose."

"Naturally, we cannot fall into the trap and must take back the initiative in this war."

Cao Yuan's hand fell on the map, above Xin'an City

"The first thing we have to do is to march out of Hangu Pass with a large army, capture Xin'an City first, and then recapture Hongnong City. The powerful army will dominate Lintong Pass!"

There was a discussion in the hall

"Your Highness, Ma Teng has sent Yan Liang to capture Xin'an City. Our army may not be able to easily recover it."

"At that time, our main force was trapped in Xin'an City, but Ma Teng sent troops from Shaanxi City and Puban Pass to cross the Yellow River and attack Hedong County."

"If Hedong County is lost, Ma Teng can join forces with the Huns and take Jinyang directly, and the entire Bingzhou will be in danger of falling. Cheng

Yu questioned it.

Cao Cao nodded slightly and said,"Prince, Hedong County must not make any mistakes. Do we really want to attack Xin'an City first?""

"My son never said that we must regain Xin'an City first."

A strange look flashed across Cao Yuan's eyebrows.

Cao Cao wondered:"Xin'an City is located in the easternmost part of Hongnong County. If we don't regain Xin'an first, how can we recapture Hongnong County and march to Tongguan?"

Cao Yuan didn't know what to say. He stepped forward and told Cao Cao his plan.

The suspicion on Cao Cao's face gradually disappeared, and he smiled and said,"The prince's plan is really a clever plan!"

The eyes of the ministers were full of surprise, and they were all guessing what kind of clever plan their Crown Prince had proposed to the emperor.

Cao Yuan still did not take advantage of it, and just smiled lightly and said:"Father, Ma Teng wants to preemptively strike against us, then Let's let him pay a heavy price for his cleverness."

"Okay, let’s act according to the prince’s plan.

Cao Cao glanced at the generals and shouted:"Huang Hansheng, come forward and listen to the order!""

Huang Zhong hurriedly climbed up the jade steps and arrived in front of the emperor.

Cao Cao lowered his voice and explained to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong's eyes brightened and he looked back at Cao Yuan with admiration.

After that, he cupped his hands and said with emotion. :"The prince's plan is really unpredictable. Your Majesty, don't worry, I will not repay your majesty's great trust!"

Huang Zhong accepted the order and resigned.

Next, Cao Cao officially announced that the army would soon launch troops to attack the puppet Qin.

On the Nanyang side, Xia Houyuan, Li Dian, and Gao Shun generals will lead 50,000 troops to attack Wuguan Launch an offensive.

On the Bingzhou front line in Hedong, Zhang Liao and Yu Jin commanded 30,000 troops and horses to guard Hedong County. They were temporarily on the defensive to block the attack of Qin's main army.

Cao Cao and Cao Yuan personally led the 200,000 main Wei army southward. Go to Luoyang to meet up with Cao Ren.

After that, the army left Hangu Pass in the west and launched an attack directly on Guanzhong. At the same time, the navy of the Wei Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, also under the command of Lu Meng Lu Xun, went north by sea into the Yellow River, went west against the river, and headed for the Tongguan line.

Three hundred thousand troops, overwhelming the country, vowed to destroy Qin.

With the imperial edict to destroy Qin, the states of Wei were boiling.

Hundreds of thousands of civilians transported endless grain and grass to the front line from all directions.

It was late summer.

Cao Cao commanded 200,000 cavalry and marched south from Yecheng to Luoyang.

The army rested for less than two days before leaving Hangu Pass in the west and headed straight for Xin'an City.

It was dusk.

The endless battle flags of the Wei Dynasty appeared in On the east road of Xin'an City. At this moment,

Yan Liang and Cao Pi were stationed at the top of the city, watching thousands of Wei troops march into the city.

"Cao Cao, Cao Yuan, you two thieves, father and son, are finally here! Yan

Liang gritted his teeth and punched the battlements.

Cao Pi sneered:"We have 30,000 troops, sufficient food and grass, and a strong city. Even if they come with a million troops, what can we do?""

Yan Liang glanced at the soldiers around him, and his ferocious face ignited with extreme self-confidence.

Ma Teng originally only gave him 10,000 Qin troops.

But Cao Pi used his appeal to lead the noble families in Hongnong. Private soldiers came and went one after another, gathering a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses.

As a result, the number of Xin'an Qin troops exploded to more than 30,000 in just a few days.

With twice the number of soldiers and horses, Yan Liang How can you not be confident?

"As long as we hold back the main force of the Wei army here for a month, the prince's army will be able to advance into Hedong. The Wei army will not be able to resist it. If Hedong falls, Bingzhou will also be owned by our army."

"By then, the main force of the Wei army here will definitely retreat and go north to defend Hebei."

"If General Yan takes advantage of the situation and marches eastward, he can conquer Luoyang in one go and make an unparalleled contribution to the king!"

Cao Pi kept talking, outlining a beautiful blueprint for Yan Liang.

The more Yan Liang listened, the more proud he became, and he couldn't help but laugh wildly.

Looking at Yan Liang's proud appearance, Cao Pi and Zhong Yao looked at each other, with a sarcastic smile flashing in their eyes.

Taking advantage of Yan Liang's general Cao Pi captured Luoyang and swept across the Central Plains.

After that, Si Ji eliminated Yan Liang and completely controlled the Qin army in his hands. Cao Pi had the

Central Plains in his hands and raised his arms, and all the noble families would come to surrender from all directions..

In a short period of time, it is no problem to gather an army of 100,000.

I have the soldiers and horses in hand, and I have the territory. Why bother to surrender to Ma Teng and his son?

Then he can establish himself as emperor and dominate the Central Plains. , and Cao Cao and Ma Teng divided the world and fought against each other.

This is the overall situation Zhong Yao planned for Cao Pi.

Unfortunately, Yan Liang was still kept in the dark, thinking that Cao Pi was wholeheartedly assisting him to achieve great achievements.

"Cao Cao, if you don’t give me the country and the country, I will take it myself!"

"I will definitely prove to you that I am your best son, and I am more qualified than Cao Yuan to inherit the Cao Wei Kingdom!"

Cao Pi looked in the direction of the Wei army, with a look of pride on his eyebrows.

In the evening, in the east of Xin'an City, the Wei army that had arrived earlier had set up camp.

In the imperial tent, Cao Cao's brows were deeply furrowed, and his brows were full of disgust.

"Yan Liang originally only had 10,000 troops, but Cao Pi, the traitor, attracted a large number of noble families to join him and gathered more than 20,000 troops."

"There are currently 30,000 Qin troops guarding Xin'an City. The difficulty for our army to capture Xin'an City has increased a lot."

Pang Tong will prepare a detailed report and present it to Cao Cao.

"boom!"

Cao Cao slapped the case, gritted his teeth and cursed:"This beast, he is willing to become a Ma family eagle dog and become my enemy. If I don't kill him, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"

In the tent, Cao Ren and everyone else were also extremely angry and cursed Cao Pi for his treasonous behavior.

"Father. Cao

Yuan said calmly:"If my father really wants to clean up our Cao family, I have a plan to capture this traitorous son of Cao Pi alive!""
