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

Ma Tie was killed?

Ma Chao was stunned and froze on the spot.

Ma Yunlu's face also changed color and she was in a trance.

Subsequently.

Ma Chao suddenly changed his color and cursed with grief and anger:"Cao Yuan, you thief, you killed my third brother. If I, Ma Chao, can't kill you, I swear I won't be a human being."~~"

"Cao Yuan, I want to kill you to avenge my third brother!"

Ma Yunlu also screamed in grief and anger.

In the lobby, the scoldings of the two brothers and sisters echoed.

At this time,

Zhang Song held up his hands and said:"Your Majesty, Princess, now is not the time to be sad. We must send troops to the north as soon as possible to take back Pu Ban Pass!"

Ma Chao brother and sister were shocked and suddenly stopped crying and cursing.

"Although Cao Yuan attacked Pubang Pass, he didn't have many troops after all. If the prince could immediately raise his troops and go north, he would be able to recapture Pubang Pass before Cao Cao's main force arrived and drive Cao Yuan back to the east of the river!"

A ray of light flashed in Ma Chao's sad eyes.

Fazheng also said:"What Zhang Yongnian said is absolutely true. Cao Yuan must not have many soldiers and horses transferred from Youzhou. The prince must rush there now. The advantage is still on our side. , will definitely win!"

"What you say makes sense! Ma Chao jumped up and said sternly:"If Cao Cao's main force rushes to the east of the river to cross the river, the consequences will be disastrous. I must recapture Puban Pass and drive Cao Yuan down the river!""

"Prince, calm down!

Pang De stood up and said,"Cao Yuan used his troops cunningly and easily defeated our 150,000-strong army. Now that the prince is heading to Pubang Pass, I'm afraid I may not be 100% sure of victory.""

Huang Quan also reminded:"General Pang's words are reasonable. I heard that Cao Yuan built a meteor repeating crossbow for Cao Cao. Although he had few soldiers and horses to attack Pubang Pass, what would he do if he brought that meteor repeating crossbow? Is good?"

"You don’t need to worry! Ma

Chao's face lit up with pride,"Cao Yuan's Meteor Repeating Crossbow is indeed amazing, but after Xin'an's lesson, I have figured out a way to restrain it, and I will definitely be able to defeat Cao Yuan's Meteor Repeating Crossbow!" Pang

De suddenly realized this, and he couldn't help but feel happy on his face.

Ma Chao didn't hesitate anymore and said with enthusiasm:"Send the order and immediately send the army north to recapture Pubang Pass!""

That day,

Ma Chao left 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard Tongguan.

He led nearly 40,000 cavalry and went north at starry night, heading straight to Pubang Pass.

……

Pu Ban Pass.

In the main hall of the military mansion.

Cao Yuan continued to sip the fine wine while listening to the urgent report.

Ma Chao personally led an army of 40,000, approaching thirty miles south of Pubang Pass.

"Ma Chao, you finally can't sit still and want to take back Pubang Pass in person?"

Cao Yuan sneered.

Xia Houyuan said:"Prince, your Majesty's main force has not arrived yet. Ma Chao's army is twice as large as ours, and most of them are cavalry. We should not underestimate it."

"General Xiahou, in the battle of Xin'an, the Prince's Meteor Crossbow easily destroyed 40,000 Black Mountain Cavalry."

"Ma Chao has only 40,000 soldiers and horses, and only half of them are cavalry. What should we fear?"

Zhang Liao was full of confidence and looked down upon Ma Chao.

Xia Houyuan said curiously:"Prince, I heard about the battle of Xin'an on the way. Your Rainstorm Crossbow is powerful enough. Could this Meteor Crossbow be even more powerful? ?"

Cao Yuan smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Liao vividly explained the power of the Meteor Repeating Crossbow.

Xia Houyuan suddenly understood and couldn't help but excitedly said:"In this case, we have this Meteor Repeating Crossbow, then Ma Chao has nothing to be afraid of."

"Although the Meteor Repeating Crossbow is powerful, I didn’t bring it this time."

Cao Yuan poured cold water on Xia Houyuan.

Xia Houyuan was shocked and asked anxiously:"Then why didn't the prince bring it?"

"This time I came from Hongnong. In order to avoid the enemy's eyes and ears, I only brought 800 cavalry. How could I bring enough Meteor Crossbows?"

"What's more, Ma Chao is not stupid. He suffered a big loss in Xin'an. Do you think he will make the same mistake again in Puban Pass?"

Cao Yuan asked rhetorically.

Xia Houyuan was speechless. After a pause,

Xia Houyuan said:"In this case, I think we might as well stick to Pu Ban without fighting and wait for the emperor to lead the main force to join us."

"No!"

Cao Yuan flatly rejected it and said proudly:"Our army's morale is at its peak. If we insist on not fighting now, wouldn't it mean that we are afraid of Ma Chao and damage our morale? I am going to defeat Ma Chao! Xia

Houyuan's blood was ignited, and he said with emotion:"The prince is right, just tell us how we should fight!""

"Of course we have to fight, but we can't underestimate Ma Chao's strength."

Cao Yuan calmed down,"Ma Chao suffered a loss from the Meteor Crossbow in Xin'an, but now he still dares to come and fight with us. Have you never thought about why he has such courage? Xia

Houyuan was confused.

Zhang Liao asked,"Could it be that Ma Chao came prepared and was not afraid of our meteor crossbow?" Cao

Yuan did not explain, but asked:"Wen Yuan, have you received the batch of weapons I sent from Yecheng to the east of your river?""

"arms?"

Zhang Liao frowned, searching for memories.

Suddenly, joy filled his face, and he said excitedly:"Is it possible that the prince was already preparing for today's battle when he was in Yecheng?"

Cao Yuan didn't answer, and just took a sip of wine. Zhang Liao took a breath of cold air, cupped his hands and said,"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has foresight and foresight. He is truly a god. I am so impressed by him!""

Xia Houyuan was confused when he heard the conversation between the two of them.

"Stop flattering me now, you haven't answered my question yet."

Cao Yuan smiled and waved his hands.

Zhang Liao hurriedly said:"Those weapons are on the other side. If Your Highness wants to use them, I will send someone to fetch them immediately."

"Then go and carry it to Pubang Pass immediately.

Cao Yuan said happily:"We will win the decisive battle with Ma Chao with those weapons!""

"promise!"

Xia Houyuan was surprised and happy when he heard that Cao Yuan had a way to win, and asked hurriedly:"Prince, what kind of magical weapon have you created that is more powerful than the meteor repeating crossbow to defeat the Xiliang cavalry that is superior to Ma Chao? Cao

Yuan asked back:"Uncle Miaocai, everyone in the world is afraid of the Xiliang cavalry. Do you know what is different about the Ma family's cavalry?""

Xia Houyuan was asked and could only shake his head.

"Wenyuan, what about you?"

Cao Yuan looked at Zhang Liao again.

Zhang Liao also shook his head:"The Xiliang cavalry has been fighting the Qiang people all year round, and their fighting methods are fierce. The cavalry of the Ma family are probably the same. I can't think of anything different."
