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

The two walked past each other.

Xia Houyuan kept moving, turned around and struck out with another sword, sweeping away.

At this moment, Ma Tie's mouth was numb, his body was shaking violently, and his internal organs were boiling with energy and blood.

Xia Houyuan shocked him to the point of serious injury with just one move.

"Is this Xiahou dog thief's martial arts so strong?"

Ma Tie's face changed with horror.

For a moment, he felt regret in his heart.

He was regretting that he should not have been impulsive and thought of fighting Xia Houyuan.

At this time, it was too late to regret.

Xia Houyuan's powerful sword style was overwhelming. It rolled in.

Layers of sword curtains enveloped Ma Tie in an instant.

Ma Tie had no time to regret. He gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his heart, and raised his gun with all his strength to resist. The roar was endless. In the blink of an eye

,

In the meantime, seven moves passed by.

Each of these seven swords was stronger than the last. In an instant, Ma Tie was suppressed and was in a panic.

Ma Tie's internal organs were injured one after another, and he glanced around with his peripheral vision, searching for an opening to escape.

Unexpectedly.

His martial arts skills were not as good as Xia Houyuan's, but he was so distracted that his flaws were revealed when he neutralized the spear style.

"Go to hell, Ma family brat!"

Xia Houyuan saw the flaw, broke through his spear style with one knife, and came with a mighty force that was as powerful as the creation of the world.

"Click!"

There was a crisp sound.

Ma Tie had no time to dodge, and half of his shoulder was cut off.

"ah~~"

A tragic howl sounded, and he fell to the ground suddenly.

Horse iron.

The third son of the Ma family died.

Seeing their own son being killed, the Qin army's morale was in chaos, and their remaining fighting spirit suddenly collapsed.

They either fled toward the city, or knelt on the ground, humbly begging for mercy from the Wei army.

When the sky is bright.

Flags with the word"Wei" have been raised over Puban Pass.

Puban, the gate to Guanzhong, was kicked open by Cao Yuan

"His Royal Highness the Prince is a thousand years old——"

"His Royal Highness the Prince is a thousand years old——"

Amidst the cheers of all the soldiers, Cao Yuan entered Pubang Pass and climbed the tower.

Looking up into the distance, the entire Pubang Pass is littered with corpses, stained with blood.

"The gate to Guanzhong finally opened."

Cao Yuan took a long breath, waved his hands and said:"Hurry and report the victory to your father, and ask him to lead the army from Pubang Pass into Guanzhong!"

A rider on a red rabbit horse galloped away, heading straight to Hongnong County.

……

Tongguan.

Groups of Qin troops are coming from the north and marching into Guancheng in a mighty manner.

In the main hall of the military mansion

"The last general, Wu Lan, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Wu Lan , who was ordered to lead the army, stepped forward and saluted.

Ma Chao waved his hand:"Wu Lan, how many troops did you bring with you this time?" Wu

Lan said hurriedly:"Your Majesty, I have come from Pubang Pass with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses!""

Ma Chao smiled.

With more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 60,000 remaining soldiers in his hands, the number of Qin troops on the Tongguan front line will be restored to more than 80,000.

80,000 soldiers and horses cannot defeat the 200,000 in a head-on confrontation It shouldn't be a problem for the Qin army to defend Tongguan City.

"Okay, okay, come on, let’s have a banquet, this prince will support General Wu!"

Ma Chao was in a good mood immediately.

All the Qin generals in the hall also relaxed a little.

Fazheng and Zhang Song were also relieved.

At this moment, a soldier came in eagerly and reported an urgent message. It was presented to Fazheng.

Fazheng took it casually, and after looking at it, his expression changed with horror.

Ma Chao saw something was wrong and shouted:"Fa Zheng, what's going on?"

"Prince, Pubanguan, Pubanguan……"

Fa Zheng's voice trembled, he was so shocked that he didn't know how to speak.

"Come on, tell me, what happened to Pu Ban Pass! Ma

Chao shouted in a deep voice.

Fazheng had no choice but to sigh.

"An urgent report has just been sent from the north. Cao Yuanqin led his cavalry to sneak attack Pubang Pass. All our defenders were wiped out and the city of Guan was lost. The Third Young Master also……"

Before he finished reading the battle report, there was an uproar in the hall.

From Ma Chao to Huang Quan and other ministers, everyone changed their color in shock.

"This is impossible! Ma

Chao jumped up and roared angrily:"There are still 6,000 soldiers and horses at Pubang Pass, and my third brother is guarding it. How can we break it for Cao Yuan? Where did he get the soldiers and horses?""

"Yes, if you want to attack our Pubang Pass, you must have at least more than 20,000 troops."

"As for Hongnong, we have not received any news of Cao's thieves dividing their troops in large numbers. So how could Cao Yuan capture Puban Pass?"

Zhang Song also looked unbelievable.

Fazheng sighed helplessly again.

"According to the intelligence, Cao Yuan only brought 800 men and horses to Hedong County. Cao Yuan transferred Youzhou's cavalry south, took advantage of the ice on the Yellow River, crossed the river on the ice, and unexpectedly attacked Pubang Pass. ah!"

The truth was revealed.

There was deathly silence in the lobby.

Zhang Song looked shocked and murmured:"He actually sent troops and horses from Youzhou. I didn't take precautions. I didn't take precautions.……"

Ma Chao fell down with a thud.

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was burning with endless anger.

Their father and son were teased by Cao Yuan again!

"Unexpectedly, Cao Yuan was so far-sighted that he made plans so far in advance and dispatched cavalry from Youzhou to go south!"

"This thief's methods are really hard to guard against."

"If we had known this, we should not have sent troops southward from Pubang Pass."

Fazheng murmured to himself, with all kinds of regret in his eyes.

"Zhang Song! Ma

Chao suddenly jumped up, his eyes glaring:"It's all you. If it weren't for your bad idea to let me dispatch troops from Pubang Pass, how could Cao Yuan successfully attack Pubang Pass!""

"Prince, I, I……"

Zhang Song was sweating on his forehead and looking ashamed. He was so ashamed that he didn't know how to answer.

I think it was indeed him who advised Ma Chao to mobilize troops from Pubang Pass.

He also confidently determined that as soon as Cao Cao's army was divided, careful preparations would be made to report it, and it would never be possible for Cao Cao and his son to divide their forces to attack Pubang Pass.

He never expected it in his dream, but he miscalculated after all.

The prince of the Wei Dynasty had already made plans and mobilized troops from Youzhou, so there was no need for Hongnong's main force to be divided.

Facing Ma Chao's questioning, Zhang Song was ashamed and embarrassed.

At this time.

Ma Yunlu suddenly remembered something and asked:"Where is my third brother? Pubang Pass was captured. What happened to my third brother?" As soon as

Ma Chao was reminded, he suddenly became uneasy and asked anxiously:"Fa Xiaozhi, what did you say in the urgent report?" Yes, is my third brother safe and sound?"

Fazheng hesitated for a long time, sighed sadly, and said silently:"The third young master failed to withdraw in time and was killed by Xia Houyuan."
