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

Inside the Horn Camp.

Ma Chao was in the tent, sitting around the stove, drinking wine.

Chang'an City is covered with ice armor and can be said to be indestructible, so he can naturally sit back and relax.

When the wine is in full swing.

Ma Chao suddenly felt that his whole body was extremely hot.

It seems that the temperature in the tent has increased a lot compared to before.

"Why is the fire so hot? Ma

Chao yelled at the bodyguard.

The bodyguard said hurriedly:"Reporting to the prince, the weather outside is getting warmer and the snow has melted. It is naturally much hotter than before.""

Is the snow melting?

The weather is getting warmer?

A suspicion flashed in Ma Chao's eyes, and he stood up and came outside the tent.

When the curtain was lifted, a warm air blew in.

The dark clouds above his head had dispersed, the sun was shining, and the snow under his feet was also shining. At some point, it turned into mud

"Why did the snow melt suddenly?"

Ma Chao's eyes widened, thinking that he had an illusion.

Suddenly, he shuddered and hurriedly turned towards Chang'an City.

Sure enough, the white Chang'an City was no longer there.

This meant that the ice armor covering the walls of Chang'an City, Has melted

"Quickly spread the law to Zhang Song!"

Ma Chao shouted sternly.

The reason why Chang'an City could withstand the Wei army's Tianwei artillery was that it was covered with ice armor.

Now that the ice armor has melted, how could he not panic? After a while

, Fazheng Zhang Song arrived

"The weather has suddenly turned warm, and the ice armor in Chang'an has melted. Why didn't you warn me earlier! Ma

Chao asked angrily.

Zhang Song said with a smile:"Your Highness, don't worry too much. It is normal for the weather to be warm and cold. When it gets dark later, the temperature will naturally drop sharply, and the melting snow will naturally turn Chang'an City back to its original state." Freeze."

Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief.

When he saw Xue Rong just now, he was in a hurry. Now he heard Zhang Songyi comforting him. It was the same reason.

"However, if the traitor Cao and his son take this opportunity to suddenly attack Chang'an, the consequences will be disastrous."

Fazheng was worried.

Ma Chao immediately became nervous again.

"The weather is hot and cold, unpredictable, and it will freeze again within half an hour at most."

"If Cao Cao wants to attack Chang'an, it will take more than an hour just to push his Tianwei cannon to the front of the city, let alone assemble a large army to form a formation."

"By the time he had everything ready, it was already dark and Chang'an City had long since frozen again, so his efforts were in vain."

Zhang Song disagreed.

Fazheng was silent.

Ma Chao nodded and said,"Yongnian's words make sense. Unless Cao Cao was prepared, he would not be able to seize this fleeting opportunity."

Zhang Song smiled proudly.

Fazheng said:"I think it's better for us to remind the king to take precautions just in case."

"Xiao Nao, you are really worrying too much."

"It's getting late now and the king is having his meal, so why bother him."

Zhang Song's eyebrows were mixed with a bit of sarcasm.

"Yongnian’s words make sense. Ma

Chao nodded and said:"There is no need to disturb my father. Anyway, Cao Cao——"

The words have not yet fallen

"Boom boom boom!"

The loud noise that shook the sky suddenly came from the direction of Chang'an City.

The ground under his feet also shook.

Ma Chao's expression changed, and he raised his head anxiously and looked towards the east gate of Chang'an.

In the sky, there were countless stone bullets, It was like a meteor passing over the sky.

The Tianwei Cannon!

It was the Tianwei Cannon of the Wei army, which was bombarding Chang'an City.

Fazheng's face changed with shock.

Zhang Song took a breath of cold air.

"Zhang Yongnian, didn't you expect that Cao Cao would not seize the opportunity to bombard Chang'an City!"

"How to explain this?"

Ma Chao turned around and glared, and asked sternly

"This doesn't make sense"

"The ice and snow have just melted, how could Thief Cao have time to mobilize the Tianwei Cannon?"

"This doesn't really make sense."

Zhang Song had sweat rolling on his forehead and his face was full of confusion.

Fazhengze said:"Your Majesty, it's better to send someone to Chang'an City quickly to find out the situation."

Ma Chao had no choice but to suppress his suspicion and sent scouts straight to Chang'an City.

Not long after, the scouts returned with a terrible news:

Cao Cao mobilized two thousand Tianwei cannons to blast the east city line.

He lost his ice armor. Protect, the collapse of the East City is close before our eyes.

Ma Chao took a breath of cold air and staggered back half a step.

Zhang Song's legs went weak and he almost collapsed.

The Qin troops on the left and right were all in shock.

Zhang Song trembled He shouted:"This is impossible. Cao Cao can only mobilize a few hundred Tianwei cannons. How can he mobilize two thousand? This is unreasonable, unreasonable."~~"

"This is absolutely true, no one dares to lie!"

The scout hurriedly knelt down and said.

Zhang Song was stunned and looked at Ma Chao tremblingly. He was shocked and confused. He didn't know how to explain it.

"Could it be that it's that Cao Yuan again?"

"I heard that during the Battle of Chibi, this person calculated the change of south wind to north wind for Cao Cao."

"Could it be that he had already calculated that the temperature would get warmer today, so he ordered Cao Cao to prepare the Tianwei Cannon in advance?"

Fazheng guessed with a trembling voice.

Ma Chao's face was distorted and he said angrily:"I don't believe it, I don't believe that little thief Cao can have such miraculous abilities!"

Just when Ma Chao was resting, the bombardment stopped.

"Your Majesty, if the Wei army stops attacking the city, it must be because the city wall has collapsed and they are about to attack the city."

"We must go and rescue the king. If we are too late, it will be too late."

Fazheng urged.

Ma Chao didn't have time to think too much and shouted hurriedly:"Send the order, the whole army is assembled, and I will attack the Wei camp immediately with my son!"

He wanted to attack the east and west, surround Wei and rescue Zhao.

Fa Zheng said anxiously:"No, we only have more than 30,000 troops. If we attack the Wei camp now, we will not be able to shake the enemy camp!"

Ma Chao was at a loss.

"Your Majesty must have mobilized troops and horses to reinforce the front line of the East City. Even if the city is destroyed, it can still be sustained for a while."

"As long as we can stay up until dark and the ice and snow solidify again, we can still seal the gap."

"I think that the Crown Prince should enter the city from the north gate and go directly to reinforce the east gate!"

Fazheng offered his plan.

Ma Chao immediately adopted it and gathered all the soldiers and horses in the camp to go to Chang'an in person to reinforce Ma Teng.

At this moment, there was a loud noise like the sky falling.

Ma Chao's figure trembled.

He understood. , this is the city wall of Chang'an, which collapsed due to the Wei army's Tianwei cannon.

Next, tens of thousands of Wei troops will pour in from the gap like a torrent.

Ma Chao can only hope that Ma Teng can mobilize his troops in time , blocking the Wei army in the gap until he led his army to arrive.

Ma Chao did not dare to delay, and assembled more than 20,000 troops and horses at the fastest speed.

The camp gate opened.

When Ma Chao was about to ride his horse out of the camp, Then he saw countless defeated troops of the Qin army running toward the side camp in a panic along the north gate.

The routed troops fled to the side camp!

This meant that the city of Chang'an had fallen.

Ma Chao's expression suddenly changed in shock.
