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

The head of the Great Wall.

Seeing the Wei army withdrawing, the Qin army on the top of the city felt relieved.

Tremendous cheers echoed along the city.

In today's battle, the Qin army did not confront the Wei army, and neither side lost a single soldier.

But being able to force the Wei army back, these Qin troops, who had been defeated repeatedly, felt as if they had won a huge victory, and they were all as excited as crazy.

On top of the city.

Ma Teng laughed wildly and said:"Cao Cao and his son, is this the power of your powerful cannon? I think it is nothing more than this!"

Jia Xu also admired:"General Ziyue's plan to freeze Chang'an is really a stroke of genius. Ah!"

A look of pride flashed across Ma Dai's brows.

"Thank you Mr. Wenhe. My plan is indeed a bit whimsical. Only Uncle Wang has the courage to use this plan. Ma

Dai did not forget to praise Ma Teng.

Ma Teng felt comfortable and patted Ma Dai:"Ziyue, you have made great achievements today. I will hold a celebration banquet for you tonight!""

"My nephew is a descendant of the Ma family, and it is his duty to contribute to the prosperity of the Ma family! Ma

Dai said with a generous and serious look.

Ma Teng laughed loudly:"Come here, please quickly order the palace to hold a banquet. I want to have a few drinks with my nephew, my nephew!""

On the top of the city, triumphant laughter echoed.

……

Northeast of Chang'an, Horn Camp.

Ma Chao stood up straight with his spear raised, looking solemnly in the direction of Chang'an.

Behind him, more than 30,000 Qin soldiers were already in formation, all with nervous expressions.

The Wei State has mobilized all its troops and is now arrayed in the east of Chang'an City, preparing for a massive attack on the city.

Chang'an's survival depends on this moment.

Ma Chao was ready to lead his troops out of camp once Chang'an City was breached to rescue him.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Prince Yue's plan to ice Chang'an is indeed a stroke of genius."

"I expected that the Wei army's Tianwei cannon would be unable to do anything."

Fazheng said with relief.

Ma Chao frowned slightly:"I hope so, but we still have to prepare for the worst."

He was afraid of being beaten by Cao Yuan.

Several defeats, lost troops, and injuries had shattered Xiliang Jin Ma Chao's pride.

At this time, he was afraid that Cao Yuan would use some clever trick to break Ma Dai's ice. A plan to overturn Chang'an.

Therefore, even though Fazheng was so relieved, his palms were still sweating.

At this moment, a loud bang sounded.

"The Wei army began to bombard the city!"

Ma Chao's brows furrowed again, and he suddenly tightened his grip on the silver spear in his hand.

This place is at least more than a mile away from the east gate of Chang'an.

From such a long distance, the loud noise of the sky and the earth shattering can still be heard clearly.

It can be seen from this that the Wei army's Tianwei cannon , so powerful.

Ma Chao felt more and more guilty.

The Qin soldiers behind him were all sweating on their foreheads and trembling with fear.

Half an hour later, the bombardment finally ended.

Ma Chao's fists were clenched until they made a cracking sound, and his eyes widened. Looking towards the direction of the east gate.

The bombardment has ended.

There are only two outcomes, either the city is destroyed or the city is intact.

Just when Ma Chao was uneasy and wanted to send out scouts to investigate the situation of the battle, there were loud cheers from the direction of the east gate. Then came the faint sound.

Ma Chao's eyes flashed with joy.

Immediately afterwards, the scout who reported the victory flew into the camp.

"I would like to inform the prince that General Ziyue's strategy has been successful. The Wei army's bombardment of our ice city was ineffective and they have retreated!"

There was a loud explosion in the camp.

Thousands of Qin soldiers were all relieved, and cheers resounded throughout the city.

Ma Chao took a long breath, loosened his grip on the silver gun, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.

Fa Zheng smiled proudly and said:"I have said before that General Ziyue's plan is a stroke of genius. It is indeed not as good as I expected.""

"It seems that I am worrying too much"

"I didn't expect this cousin of mine to have such wisdom and tricks, it really impressed me!"

Ma Chao clicked his tongue in admiration.

Fa Zheng said with a smile:"The Wei army's Tianwei artillery is ineffective, so it can't do anything to Chang'an. We can at least hold on until the beginning of next spring. Such a long time is enough for us to dispatch troops and horses from Liangzhou and Shu.."

The light returned to Ma Chao's face and he couldn't help laughing loudly.

……

Wei camp.

Inside the royal tent.

The Wei army was quite discouraged.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Yuan and said:"Prince, someone in the Qin Kingdom can come up with such a plan. It is indeed unexpected. Our Tianwei Cannon is useless. How should we break Chang'an next? Does the Prince have any good ideas?""

"It's just a plan to ice Chang'an, no big deal.

Cao Yuan said disapprovingly:"We failed to bomb Chang'an today. We will bomb again another day.""

Cao Cao was startled.

Cao Ren said hurriedly:"Since Ma Teng has covered Chang'an with ice and we failed to blast it today, if we blast it another day, wouldn't it be the same result?"

"That's not necessarily the case.

Confidence flashed in Cao Yuan's eyes,"If we bomb Chang'an again in five days, we will definitely break it!""

Cao Ren was confused.

The generals looked at each other, all confused.

Cao Cao wondered:"Prince, why can we break through Chang'an in five days?"

"Because, after five days, the temperature will briefly warm up"

"The ice armor in Chang'an City will definitely melt by then"

"Let's rush there and bombard the city, and we'll be able to destroy it naturally."

Cao Yuan took a sip of wine and revealed the secret in a leisurely manner.

Everyone was surprised.

Cao Cao wondered:"Prince, how can you conclude that the temperature will get warmer in five days?"

"Father, have you forgotten? My son still has some stargazing skills."

Cao Yuan smiled secretly.

"Stargazing?"

Cao Cao's eyes were blank and he couldn't understand for a moment.

Cao Yuan said:"I looked at the stars last night and saw that the temperature will suddenly turn warm in five days. At that time, it will be a God-given opportunity for us to break Chang'an."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao suddenly realized, and ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face.

He remembered.

During the Battle of Chibi, his son watched the stars at night and calculated that the south wind would turn north, so that he could burn Sun Ce's warship in one fell swoop.

"Doesn’t the father not trust his son?"

Cao Cao asked back.

"Believe it, how could you not believe it! Cao

Cao said happily:"Prince Chibi could calculate the change of wind direction back then, and today he can calculate the sudden drop in temperature. How is it impossible? Of course I believe you!""

The generals also nodded, and they all believed in Cao Yuan's judgment.

Cao Yuan then smiled lightly:"In that case, let's be prepared to break Chang'an in five days.

Cao Cao slapped the table and shouted:"Generals, listen to your orders!""

The generals stood up suddenly.

Cao Cao said sternly:"Send an order to the entire army to collect as many stone bullets as possible. In five days, I will bombard Chang'an again!"

"promise!"
