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

"Here is the urgent report, please take a look at it!"

The guards did not dare to delay, stumbled forward, and handed over the battle report.

Ma Dai snatched it away. After a few glances, his face was stunned, and he raised his head tremblingly and looked at Ma Teng.

Ma Teng shouted:"How did the prince lose? Read it quickly!"

Ma Dai sighed and read out the urgent report.

In the urgent report, Cao Yuan faked defeat and attracted Ma Chao's army to pursue him. Now the Wei army used crossbows to defeat Ma Chao's Fish Scale Cavalry and routed the 40,000-strong army in one fell swoop. The story was written in detail.

The emergency report also stated that Ma Chao once rode towards Cao Yuan alone, intending to complete his victory.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yuan actually hid a unique martial arts, and Ma Chao was injured and defeated.

Everyone in the Golden Palace gasped. Cool air, as if hearing the most mysterious and incredible things in the world

"Bed crossbow?"

"What kind of crossbow is the bed crossbow? It actually broke the fish scale array?"

Ma Teng jumped up, with endless astonishment on his old face.

He had heard of the Meteor Repeating Crossbow and the Heavy Rain Repeating Crossbow, and knew their power.

Because of this, Ma Chao was able to practice the fishRiding, just to restrain the Wei army's repeated crossbows.

Who would have thought that at this critical moment, Cao Yuan would conjure up another crossbow!

Ma Dai also shouted:"What kind of crossbow is the bed crossbow? How can it be possible to break the fish scale knight? This doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense."~~"

All civil and military officials in the dynasty were shocked and confused, unable to explain

"Cao Yuan is the best at making weapons. I think this crossbow was made by him."

"However, the most incredible thing is that Cao Yuan actually has peerless martial arts skills, and even the prince was defeated by him?"

Jia Xu reminded in a deep voice.

Everyone shuddered. The hall was as quiet as death.

Ma Teng fell down and his old face was frozen in horror for a moment.

How could they not know how strong Ma Chao's martial arts is.

Then But under Lu Bu, he was the most powerful general in martial arts.

With Ma Chao's strength, he actually lost to Cao Yuan?

"That Cao Yuan, isn't he a counselor by training? He actually has peerless martial arts skills?"

"It's impossible, there can't be such a person in this world, it's impossible~~"

Ma Dai was sweating on his forehead, his face was horrified, he couldn't believe this fact.

All the ministers in the palace gasped and were horrified.

In their eyes, Cao Yuan already existed like a demon, making them shudder when they thought of that name.

Jia Xu sighed quietly:"I didn't expect that Cao Cao would have such a son with both civil and military skills. Really, really.……"

He could no longer find the right words to describe the emotion in his heart at this moment.

Ma Teng shuddered, and a thought flashed through his mind:

Could it be that I was wrong?

Shouldn't I be king and be an enemy of Cao Cao?

Cao Cao had such a strange son as Cao Yuan, so he was destined to conquer the world?

"Your Majesty, Pubang Pass has been captured and the prince has been defeated. We can no longer stop the Wei army from entering the pass."

"Tongguan cannot be defended anymore, so we should quickly shrink our troops and return to Chang'an."

Jia Xu took the lead to calm down and reminded silently.

Ma Teng shivered again.

Ma Chao lost his troops. Even if he shrinks his troops to Chang'an, he can only gather 40,000 to 50,000 troops.

Moreover, the natural dangers of Puban Pass and Tongguan have been exhausted. Lose!

With only tens of thousands of remaining soldiers defeated, how could they withstand more than 200,000 Wei troops and defend Chang'an City?

"If we abandon Tongguan, the main force of the Wei army can attack Chang'an. How can we hold on? Ma

Teng asked in a deep voice.

Jia Xu sighed:"The walls of Chang'an are high and thick, and we have all the food and grass available. We still have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses available. If we can work together, we may not be unable to defend it." Ma

Dai also said proudly:"Wen He's words are reasonable. We have the strong city of Chang'an behind us, and we can also plan troops and send generals from Liangzhou and Shu. As long as we work together and fight with Cao Yuan to death, we will fight with Cao Yuan." Below the city, my nephew thinks that we will be able to defeat the traitor Cao and his son!"

Ma Teng's panic finally calmed down a little.

After pondering for a moment,

Ma Teng waved his hand helplessly and said:"At this point, that's all we can do. Send an order to the crown prince and the Tongguan garrison to shrink to Chang'an City immediately."

Two edicts were issued on the same day.

Ma Chao in the north, after receiving the edicts, had to lead his remaining troops to retreat to Chang'an. The

20,000 defenders of Tongguan had no choice but to abandon the most powerful pass in the world and retreat westward to Chang'an City.

Overnight, Tongguan became an empty city.

As soon as the Qin army left, Cao Ren, who was outside the pass, immediately led the Wei army outside the pass to attack Tongguan.

The army took Tongguan effortlessly. After Tongguan was captured, the Wei army no longer had to detour to the east of the river. Then he went west from the main road, passed through Tongguan and entered Guanzhong.

More than 200,000 Wei troops finally set foot on the land of Qin.

The army commander drove westward and attacked Chang'an.

At Jia Xu's suggestion, Ma Teng decided to shrink all his troops. Hold on to Chang'an.

Therefore, Ma Teng gave up all the soldiers and horses on the line from Chang'an to Tongguan.

The Wei army attacked Huayin and Xinfeng counties one after another without any bloodshed, and arrived in Chang'an in less than five days. The towering Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty.

At this time, it was finally close. In front of us.

Next, as long as Chang'an is captured, Guanzhong will decide.

The Wei army camped in the east of Chang'an City and set up camp.

At this time, Ma Teng had ordered Ma Chao to lead 40,000 soldiers and horses to garrison outside Chang'an City. As the horn.

Ma Teng personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard Chang'an.

Cao Yuan knew very well that Ma Teng wanted to rely on the strong city of Chang'an and wanted to wait for work and fight a protracted war with the Wei army.

Although the Ma family's vitality was seriously injured, but After all, they still have tens of thousands of troops.

If you want to capture Chang'an, you can't do it in a moment.

Cao Yuan proposed a plan to Cao Cao, and all the companies east of Chang'an set up camp to create a threatening situation.

At the same time, several groups of Wei soldiers were separated. Going north and south, they wiped out the counties and counties near Chang'an.

Immediately afterwards, thousands of craftsmen were recruited to the front line of Chang'an, where they began to cut down trees and work day and night to make siege equipment.

Winter was coming and spring was approaching.

Within half a month, the Wei army More than two thousand Tianwei cannons were built.

When those behemoths were pushed to the front of Chang'an City, the Qin Army sergeants on the city were all horrified by them.

"Is that the Tianwei Cannon? Is there such a trebuchet in this world?"

"Could it be that the rumors are true?"

Ma Teng looked at the behemoths, with deep fear and suspicion in his brows.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said:"Your Majesty, this powerful cannon was built by Cao Yuan. It is the most powerful trebuchet in history. It’s unimaginable, we have to be prepared."
