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

The Wei army broke camp and headed east.

Within five days, the Wei army abandoned seven or eight cities in Hongnong County one after another, including Shaanxi City.

Everything went as Cao Yuan expected.

Ma Chao was extremely ambitious and was not satisfied with holding Tongguan and driving away the Wei army.

He also wanted to take the opportunity to regain Hongnong County, or even capture Luoyang and capture the Central Plains.

Therefore, as soon as the Wei army retreated, Ma Chao led 100,000 Qin troops, with 40,000 Heishan troops as the vanguard, to follow the Wei army.

But Ma Chao is still self-aware.

He was well aware of the strength of the Wei army, and was even more worried about Cao Yuan's clever plan. He pursued him step by step, but did not dare to engage in a decisive battle with him.

Although Ma Chao's Xiliang army was not strictly disciplined, it could still be restrained.

Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army is not so easy to control.

When these Black Mountain bandits first established themselves in the Taihang Mountains, they made a living by robbing people.

Now we are pursuing the Wei army. Every time we break a city along the way, there will be a bloodbath.

The people of Hongnong suffered greatly from Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army.

Regarding the atrocities committed by the Montenegrin Army, Ma Supernatural could only turn a blind eye or close one eye.

After all, if you want the Black Mountain Army to work for the Ma family, you must give them enough benefits.

In order to achieve this goal, we can only sacrifice the people of Hongnong County.

……

West of Xin'an City.

The King of the Wei Dynasty was lining up neatly, heading east along the avenue.

The Wei army had strict military discipline. Although they were retreating, they were in order and there was never any chaos.

Cao Cao and Cao Yuan, father and son, walked side by side while listening to the latest information brought by Pang Tong.

"The Montenegrin Army captured all the cities along the way and looted each city. Countless people were killed in each city."

"Based on preliminary estimates, at least nearly 10,000 people in the entire Hongnong County died under the Black Mountain Saber!"

Cao Cao frowned deeply, and hatred burned in his eyes.

The Emperor of Wei, when he heard that the Black Mountain bandits harmed his own people, could he not be angry?

Cao Yuan said in a deep voice:"Father, the Black Mountain bandits have committed all kinds of evil, and we will fight in a decisive battle someday. , we must kill all these bandits and leave no one behind!"

"That's exactly what it should be!"

Cao Cao nodded heavily.

But Cao Hong couldn't bear it anymore and shouted:"Your Majesty, Prince, how long are we going to retreat? Let's go back now and destroy the Black Mountain bandits!"

The generals' anger was aroused and they all asked for battle.

Cao Cao's eyes looked at Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan's eyes looked in the direction of Luoyang.

At this moment,

Yu Jin rushed over, cupped his hands and said:"Qi Your Majesty, the Meteor Repeating Crossbow built by the Crown Prince has arrived in Xin'an City!"

As soon as these words came out,

Cao Cao and Cao Yuan looked at each other, and their spirits were lifted.

When the generals heard the name of"Meteor Liannu", their eyes were blank and suspicious.

"Your Majesty, we have the Heavy Rain Repeating Crossbow, and this Meteor Repeating Crossbow, what kind of crossbow is it?"

Cao Hongqi said

"Prince, tell them."

Cao Cao looked at Cao Yuan with a smile.

Cao Yuan then said calmly:"This Meteor Repeating Crossbow is the latest repeating crossbow I modified from the Heavy Rain Repeating Crossbow. This crossbow is twice as powerful as a crossbow. Twenty rounds!"

Cao Hong's figure was shaken, and ecstasy filled his eyes.

The generals were not surprised.

The Rainstorm Crossbow, which can shoot ten arrows with one arrow, is already the god of crossbows.

Unexpectedly, their prince, with his great magical powers, could actually create another A meteor repeating crossbow with twenty rounds was released!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly a man of God!"

After Cao Hong sighed with emotion, he sighed in admiration.

Cao Yuan bowed his hands to Cao Cao:"Father, the weapon to defeat the enemy has arrived, and we can fight decisively!"

"good! Cao

Cao raised his horse whip and said happily:"Pass the message, the whole army will stop retreating, set up camp, and destroy the Black Mountain Army here tomorrow!""

The decree was passed down.

The 200,000 Wei army officers and soldiers stopped retreating and set up camp on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao wrote a personal letter of war and sent it to Ma Chao who was following him.

……

Qin army camp.

Inside the big tent.

Ma Chao was studying the letter of challenge in his hand, which was written by Cao Cao himself.

That was an extremely contemptuous statement of defiance.

In the book, Cao Cao denounced Ma Chao's behavior of conniving with the Black Mountain Army and looting and killing the people of Hongnong.

Finally, Cao Cao asked Ma Chao if he had the courage to fight him to the death.

If you don't have the courage, you will immediately lead your army back to Guanzhong.

Ma Chao showed the challenge to the ministers.

After Zhang Song read it, he sneered and said:"Your Majesty, judging from this letter of war, Cao Cao is a bit forced and has messed up his position."

Zhang Yan felt guilty and said angrily:"Your Majesty, this Cao Cao thief is He is so arrogant, let's fight him, I will cut off his head with my own hands and present it to the prince!"

Ma Chao was not so impulsive, and looked at Zhang Song and Fazheng

"Filial piety and longevity, what do you think?"

Before Fazheng could speak,

Zhang Song said first:"Your Majesty, I thought that Cao Cao's thieves must have been forced to retreat and suffered a loss of face. They were temporarily confused and decided to fight with our army in anger. I thought that this We should fight a war!"

"Your Majesty, if we can defeat the main force of the Wei army in this battle, Wei will no longer be able to gather troops to compete with us in a short period of time."

"My 150,000-strong army marches eastward. We will conquer Luoyang and wipe out all the states in the Central Plains with overwhelming force."

"This battle is our Great Qin’s battle to conquer the world!"

Fazheng also enthusiastically took charge of the battle, and his mood was quite exciting.

Ma Chao clenched his fists, and excitement ignited between his brows.

His ambition was far greater than that of his father Ma Teng.

Ma Teng only wanted to defend the three states of Qin and be a party. The overlord of the separatist regime.

He wants to destroy Wei, unify the world, and create the Ma family's dynasty.

If he wins this battle, he can defeat more than 200,000 Wei troops in one go.

Then, even if Cao Cao and Cao Yuan are alive, he will There were no more soldiers and horses to stop him from attacking the Central Plains.

But when he thought of Cao Yuan, a man as resourceful as a god, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a little wary. What if Cao Yuan had any tricks?

"I can't think of any other tricks that Cao Yuan could use to make Cao Cao win this battle!"

"Prince, I dare to guarantee with my head that our army will win this battle!"

Zhang Song did not hesitate to risk his life and persuaded him to go to war.

Speaking of this, Ma Chao had no doubts.

He slapped the case and stood up vigorously.

"The thief Cao thought he was invincible by destroying Yuan Shao, killing Liu Bei, and killing Sun Ce. He was arrogant and arrogant!"

"In the battle tomorrow, I will let him know that I, the Ma family, are the strongest in the world."

"My Ma family is destined to conquer the world!"
