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

Just when Ma Chao was shocked and stunned.

One rider galloped into the camp, while the other stumbled and knelt down in front of Ma Chao.

"Second brother, what’s going on in Chang’an City?"

Ma Chao recognized that the general was his second brother Ma Xiu.

"Brother!"

"The Wei army collapsed the city wall and stormed into the city. Pang De failed to stop the Wei army and was killed by Zhao Yun!"

"We can't stop the Wei army, so Yudi has no choice but to abandon the city and flee!"

Ma Xiu brought the bad news of Chang'an's fall to Ma Chao with a trembling voice.

Ma Chao's head buzzed with a loud noise.

It was as if a thunder fell from the sky and struck on top of his head.

Behind him,

Fazheng was stunned, and Zhang Song was also shocked. Lost their soul.

The Qin army was in chaos from top to bottom.

"What about your father? Why didn't your father mobilize his troops and go to the east city to stop the Wei army?"

Ma Chao tried his best to suppress his shock and asked sternly.

Ma Xiu looked ashamed and said:"After my father learned the news, he immediately led his army to the east city. However, the Wei army broke through the city. When my father arrived, the Wei army had already rushed into the imperial palace. Street, our army was scattered!"

"What about my father? Since you escaped, why didn’t your father escape?"

Ma Yunlu followed up and asked.

Ma Xiu said with shame:"There was chaos at that time, and my father and I were separated. I thought that my father would withdraw from the north gate to meet my elder brother, so I evacuated to the north gate first. come out."

Ma Chao's face turned livid immediately.

His younger brother, sensing that something was going wrong, abandoned Ma Teng and fled alone!

"How dare you leave your father and run away, you cowardly idiot!"

Ma Yunlu scolded him.

Ma Xiu lowered his head, his face flushed with shame, and said nothing.

He had no choice but to be so frightened that he immediately chose to save his life regardless of Ma Teng's life or death.

"Your Highness, it is useless to blame the second young master now, it is better to save Chang'an first. Cheng

Gongying advised.

Ma Chao had no choice but to suppress his anger and shouted:"The whole army obeys the order and follow me back to Chang'an!""

More than 20,000 Qin troops rushed towards the north gate of Chang'an.

When they arrived at the north gate

, the Wei army's battle flag had been raised over the east gate.

This meant that the east gate had been completely captured.

Two hundred thousand Wei troops , are rushing into the city.

With their 20,000 soldiers and horses, even if they enter Chang'an, they will be like a chariot with a mantis arm, and they will not be able to turn the tide.

The situation is over!

"Could it be that God really didn’t bless me, Ma?"

Ma Chao roared with grief and anger and asked the sky angrily.

Fazheng sighed and advised:"The fall of Chang'an is a foregone conclusion. Your Highness, we have taken over the queen, and we have no choice but to retreat to Longxi."

Ma Chao had no choice but to look into the city, eagerly waiting for Ma Teng. He waited left and right, and the Qin army escaped a lot, but Ma Teng was still nowhere to be seen.

The three brothers of the Ma family looked more and more anxious.

At this moment.

Ma Dai, covered in blood, also rushed out of the north gate.

"Ziyue, where is the father? Ma

Chao rushed forward and asked

"Brother~~"

"Uncle Wang was given to him by Cao Yuan.——"

Ma Dai knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and he was choked with tears.

Ma Chao grabbed him and asked:"Tell me, father, what happened to him?"

"Uncle Wang was killed by Cao Yuan!"

Ma Dai knelt on the ground and told the bad news.

There was another thunder.

This time, it hit the heads of the three brothers and sisters of the Ma family at the same time.

Ma Chao was stunned.

Ma Xiu was stunned. Ma

Yunlu's face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were filled with tears. Endless shock.

After a moment

"Father!"

"How could you abandon your child?"

"It’s all children who are incompetent and unable to protect their father."

"My daughter must kill Cao Yuan to avenge her father.~~"

The brothers burst into tears and burst into tears.

After crying for a long time, Ma Chao jumped on his horse and cried out sadly:"All the soldiers in the army, follow me into the city and kill Cao Yuan to avenge my father!"

Ma Yunlu then got on his horse.

Matthew and Ma Dai were hesitant.

"Prince, calm down"

"We will naturally avenge the king's revenge."

"But now that the enemy is weak and I am weak, if the prince rushes in like this, not only will he not be able to take revenge, but he will also lose his life in vain!"

"Please, Your Highness, please calm down. Fazheng stepped forward to grab Ma Chao and persuaded him hard.

Zhang Song also cried and persuaded:"Your Majesty, we can only fight with the Wei army if we retreat to Longxi, mobilize soldiers and horses from Shu in Liangzhou, and regroup." The King's opportunity for revenge!"

"Brother, if I can avenge Uncle Wang, I will not hesitate to risk my life."

"But now is really not the time to act impulsively. We must retreat to Longxi first to preserve our strength, so that we can have a chance to take revenge!"

Ma Dai also had to persuade.

After everyone tried hard to persuade him, Ma Chao's anger was finally extinguished.

He sighed and said sadly:"Send the order and the whole army abandons Chang'an and retreats to Longxi immediately."

Everyone was relieved.

The morale of the 30,000 Qin troops outside the city had been shattered, and they could only escape all the way to the west toward Longshan.

Before dark,

Chang'an was behind them, gradually disappearing under the setting sun.

Ma Chao looked back. The silhouette of the departing Chang'an said bitterly:"The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. Cao Yuan, just wait. I, Ma Chao, will come back one day and I will cut you into pieces with my own hands!""

……

Pseudo royal palace.

A grand celebration banquet has begun.

Cao Cao sat high on the throne and congratulated the generals on their victory over Chang'an. at the same time.

But the killings resumed in the city.

This time, it was not the soldiers of the Qin army who were killed, but the family members.

At the beginning of the rebellion in Yecheng, the Xun family, the Kong family, the Yang family and other families were executed, which shocked the families in Lianghe.

As a result, dozens of families, large and small, all fled to Guanzhong and attached themselves to Ma Teng.

Now that the city of Chang'an was broken and the sudden change occurred, they had no time to escape from Chang'an and they all fell into the hands of the Wei army.

At Cao Yuan's suggestion, Cao Cao went on a killing spree against these noble families that night.

Dozens of famous families with centuries-old roots were wiped out overnight.

There was killing outside the palace.

In the palace.

Cao Cao drank heavily with his generals

"If it weren't for the Crown Prince's clever plan, how could we be sitting here drinking celebratory wine together?"

"Come, take this cup, I and you will pay tribute to our prince!"

Cao Cao raised his wine glass high and looked at Cao Yuan with a smile.

The ministers stood up suddenly, raised their wine glasses, and looked at Cao Yuan with admiration.

Cao Yuan was not hypocritical. He stood up and raised his glass, accepting the respect of everyone calmly.
