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

"Cao Yuan, you cruel thief, if you want to kill me, just give me a happy one!"

"Cao Yuan, I won’t let you go even if I’m a ghost~~"

Huang Quan roared heart-breakingly.

Cao Yuan had no intention of watching his performance of grief and anger, and waved his hand impatiently.

Xu Chu then ordered Yan Yunwei to drag Huang Quan out.

Not long after, screams sounded outside the tent.

Cao Yuan raised his wine glass and said with a smile:"Come on, let's have a good drink tonight. Tomorrow the army will go south and go straight to Baishui Pass!"

All the advisers and generals raised their glasses loudly.

News of the fall of the Qishan camp quickly spread to Shu.

……

Nanzheng.

In the county government.

Matthew was still drinking and having a party, with a high-spirited look on his face.

Several brothers in the Ma family died, and Ma Xiu became Ma Chao's only younger brother.

After Ma Chao retreated to Yi, he entrusted Ma Xiu with important tasks, making him concurrently the prefect of Hanzhong and the commander-in-chief of the Qin army north of Jiange.

Ma Chao knew that he was unable to regain the lost ground and spent all his time living in dissipation. His younger brother was not much better.

Since he became the prefect of Hanzhong, Ma Xiu spent the whole day either hunting or feasting and drinking heavily, which was very unpleasant.

As usual, there was another banquet today.

Matthew drank to his heart's content and urged his subordinates to drink with him.

Zhang Song, who was sitting with him, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he saw Ma Xiu like this.

"The brothers of the King of Qin have no heroic spirit at all. What a pity, what a pity.……"

Zhang Song raised his head and drank a glass of boring wine

"Zhang Yongnian, why are you sighing?"

"Could it be that my wine doesn’t taste good?"

Ma Xiu's face darkened and he asked displeasedly.

Zhang Song stopped talking.

Ma Xiu waved his hand and said,"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't hide it behind your back and make me look at you and worry you. Zhang

Song hesitated again and again, and had no choice but to hand over to Yi:

"Second Young Master, Cao Yuan is currently leading an army of 100,000 troops stationed in Longxi. He is always eyeing me in Hanzhong."

"The minister believes that the second son should now send more troops to Qishan, and order Huang Quan to organize the army to prepare for war, and closely monitor the movements of the Wei army in Longxi."

"The second young master is so lax and spends all day drinking and partying, I'm afraid he will miss something important."

Zhang Song spoke from the bottom of his heart.

Ma Xiu, however, disagreed and said:"We in Hanzhong are in danger of the Qinling Mountains, so Cao Yuan is crazy to attack Yizhou. Zhang Yongnian, I think you are overly worried."

"Don't make rash assertions."

Zhang Song's face was solemn, and there was deep fear in his eyes.

"Cao Cao and his son have the ambition to devour the world, and they will never allow us to seize a corner of Yizhou. It is only a matter of time before we send troops to attack Shu."

"Cao Yuan also used his troops like a god and was full of ingenuity. We must not underestimate him."

"The previous bloody example in Guanzhong and Longxi is a lesson for others."

Zhang Song reminded bitterly

"Do you think I won't be careful about that Cao Yuan?"

"My careful work has paid off long ago. Cao Yuan has divided his troops into two groups, heading east to Yecheng and heading west to Jincheng County to suppress the Qiang rebellion."

"Tell me, if he separates these two armies, what else can he use to attack Yizhou?"

"Don’t you really think that Cao Yuan is so powerful that with only tens of thousands of horses, he can ignore the natural dangers of the Qinling Mountains and destroy Yizhou?"

Ma Xiu didn't bother to ask back.

Zhang Song was speechless.

Xizuo did send back the news that Cao Yuan had divided his troops.

According to common sense, if Cao Yuan wanted to attack Shu, he would have to have at least one hundred thousand troops.

What Ma Xiu said is true. Now this Under such circumstances, Cao Yuan simply did not have enough troops to attack Yizhou in the south.

In this case, why should he be worried?

"Just, even so"

"But we can't guarantee that Cao Yuan will not invade Yizhou in the future, so we have to make preparations early."

Zhang Song reminded again

"Of course I won't be unprepared"

"I have sent an order to Huang Quan to build a city in Qishan in addition to setting up camp."

"In less than three months, a kind of fortified city will rise from Qishan Mountain."

"By then, the northern gate of Yizhou will be completely locked. So even if Cao Yuan leads a million troops, what should he fear?"

Ma Xiu said proudly.

Zhang Song was shocked, and suddenly remembered that Ma Xiu still had this general.

In his mind, he could not help but sketch the picture of Qishan Mountain.

With the topography of Qishan Mountain, if a hinterland city could be built, it would indeed be great. It can be called the strongest city in the world.

No matter how powerful Cao Yuan is, he will never be able to conquer it.

"Are my worries really unnecessary?"

Zhang Song fell silent and began to question himself.

A smile appeared on Ma Xiu's face and he raised his glass and said:"Yongnian, you were frightened by Cao Yuan in Guanzhong. Now we are in Shu, not in Shu. Now that you are in the pass, you should change your thinking. Don't be afraid of Cao Yuan anymore."

Zhang Songruo realized something.

After a long time,

Zhang Song sighed softly and laughed at himself:"Thank you for your teaching, second young master. Maybe I am really worrying too much."

"Okay, don't think too much, just have a drink with me."

Ma Xiu laughed loudly and drank the glass of wine.

Zhang Song plowed the land for a while, then he relaxed and drank the glass in one gulp.

The atmosphere in the lobby became happy again.

Here it is.

The generals are playing with horses. , rushed in, and shouted in a trembling voice:"Second Young Master Qi, something bad has happened, Qishan has been lost!""

The wine glass that Matthew had just brought to his mouth suddenly shook and almost fell to the ground.

"What?"

"What did you say? Say it again!"

Ma Xiu jumped up and asked excitedly.
