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

"Snapped!"

The riding whip in Ma Xiu's hand fell from his hand.

He staggered and almost rolled off the saddle. From left to right,

Zhang Song and other civil and military officers all changed their colors in shock.

Baishui Pass was actually lost!

Wang Ping died in battle!

One day Ten thousand defenders were completely wiped out!

If they hadn’t heard it with their own ears, everyone present would have thought that they had hallucinated and heard the Tianfang Night Pool.

There was deathly silence for an instant.

Then, there was a loud explosion and a huge uproar..

Matthew jumped off his horse, grabbed the scout, and yelled,"What did you say? Tell me again!""

"Second Young Master, Baishui Pass has been captured, General Wang Yang died in battle, and the entire defenders were wiped out!"

"Then Cao Yuan is leading his army to kill Yangpingguan!"

The scout cried.

Ma Xiu staggered, took three steps back, and was completely stunned.

Then, he suddenly turned around and glared at Zhang Song:"Zhang Yongnian, didn't you say that Baishui Pass can be defended for at least three to five days? Months? What's going on? Zhang

Song was sweating at the desk and murmuring:"I can't figure out why Wang Ping is so useless, why Baishui Pass is so vulnerable, and why Cao Yuan captured it so easily. This, this……"

Zhang Song was confused, his words were incoherent, and he didn't know how to explain.

Ma Xiu picked up the scout again and yelled,"Tell me, how did Cao Yuan break through Baishui Pass?"

The scout hurriedly handed over the battle report.

Matthew grabbed it.

In the battle report, General Cao Yuanguan was refused to surrender to Wang Ping, so he angrily ordered the entire army to attack the city, and captured Baishui Pass in one go.

Ma Xiu took a breath and murmured:"The Wei army's siege ability was so strong that it took less than half an hour to capture Baishui Pass. This, this……"

He was also incoherent and fell into astonishment.

The Qin army was in an uproar.

At this time.

Zhang Song came back to his senses and said in relief:

"Second Young Master, don’t panic. Although we have lost Baishui Pass, we still have Yangping Pass in hand."

"Don’t forget, Yangping Pass is our number one lord in Shu, and Zhang Ren, the number one general in Shu, is guarding it."

"Yangping Pass is ten times stronger than White Water Pass."

"The official believes that no matter how cunning Cao Yuan is and no matter how powerful the Wei army's siege capabilities are, it will never be possible to shake Yangping Pass again!"

Zhang Song analyzed and relieved.

Ma Xiu's shocked and angry mood calmed down a little.

In his mind, the picture of Yangping Pass emerged.

Zhang Song was right, Yangping Pass is indeed the most powerful pass in the world..

Its strength is so strong that even Tongguan can't match it.

When the Ma family captured Hanzhong, a hundred thousand troops were at Yangping Pass, and it took them three full months to break through.

If it weren't for Zhang Lu's adviser Yang Song, After accepting bribes from their Ma family, they encouraged Zhang Lu to force Zhang Wei to fight and were annihilated. It was impossible for their Ma family to capture Yangping Pass. In other words

, as long as Zhang Ren could hold on to Yangping Pass without fighting, Cao Yuan Even if there are millions of troops, it will never be possible to break through

"You're right, I have Yangping Pass, Cao Cao's thieves are nothing to be afraid of!"

"Quickly send more troops to Zhang Ren, then strictly order him to hold on without fighting, and hold on to Yangping Pass for me!"

After Matthew calmed down, he sternly ordered

"promise!"

Zhang Song immediately accepted the order.

A messenger immediately went west and went straight to Yangping Pass.

Yangping Pass.

Guancheng, the main hall of the military mansion.

Zhang Renzheng was sitting in front of the case, stroking his beard with one hand and flipping through the book of war with the other.

The"Sun Tzu""The Art of War" is no longer a bamboo slip, but made of rice paper

"I have to say, this book made of rice paper is really ten times more convenient than bamboo slips."

"It's incredible that Cao Yuan could invent such sacred paper as rice paper."

Zhang Ren sighed in admiration.

"General Zhang, that Cao Yuan is indeed very powerful."

"Now that he has broken through the Qishan camp and is approaching Baishui Pass, we have to make preparations early."

Lieutenant General Wu Lan reminded.

In his words, he clearly had a deep fear of Cao Yuan.

There was no way.

He had personally experienced the Battle of Guanzhong back then, and witnessed with his own eyes the terrifying military capabilities of the Wei prince.

Thinking about it to this day, he still feels guilty.

That's why he had to remind Zhang Ren to be prepared in advance. If Baishui Pass fell, their generals at Yangping Pass would be the first to face the Wei army's attack.

"That boy Wang Ping is still somewhat of a general."

"Although Baishui Pass is not as strong as Yangping Pass, it is also an important pass in Shu."

"Even if Cao Yuan wanted to break through such a Guancheng, he wouldn't be able to do it in three to five months."

"Sit back and relax at Yangpingguan, you don't need to worry too much."

Zhang Ren said with confidence and a look of disapproval.

When he spoke, his eyes never left the military book.

Wu Lan was speechless.

Lei Tong echoed:"General Zhang's words are reasonable. After all, Cao Yuan is a man and not a god. , I don’t believe that he can capture Baishui Pass and threaten us at Yangping Pass."

Zhang Ren nodded slightly.

Wu Lan's concerns were dismissed and he had to keep silent.

At this moment, the messenger rushed over and shouted:"General Zhang, the Wei army broke through Baishui Pass and rushed towards Yangping Pass. Second Young Master I order you to be prepared to defend Guancheng and never go into battle hastily!"

Zhang Ren's hand holding the book of war suddenly shook.
