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

Liu Bei was really angered.

He would not hesitate to quarrel with Cao Cao, but also use troops against Fengcheng!

"Lord, calm down!"

"Our army's food and salary are only enough for one month. It is really unwise to use a large number of troops at this time."

Zhao Yun immediately stood up and persuaded Liu Bei to calm down.

Liu Bei was poured cold water on his head, his expression was slightly stern, and his anger subsided slightly.

"Zilong's words are wrong!"

"Precisely because the food and salary were only enough to last for a month, it was even more important to take advantage of the morale of the army to capture Fengcheng, recapture his sister-in-law, and recapture the 40 million yuan dowry. Guan

Yu spoke and dismissed Zhao Yun's concerns.

Zhao Yun frowned slightly and asked,"If Lu Bu takes advantage of the opportunity to attack, how should we respond?" Guan

Yu said disdainfully:"There are only a thousand Cao troops in Fengcheng. Our army is besieging the city and will be able to break it in less than three days. As long as the eldest brother returns to Xiaopei before Lu Bu can make any move, the slaves of the three surnames will naturally not dare to act rashly!""

"Is General Yun Chang too optimistic?"

Zhao Yun then said:"Xia Houyuan, the guard of Fengcheng, is the senior general of Cao Ying. Besides, Cao Yuan is also quite resourceful. How dare General Yun Chang dare to guarantee that Fengcheng can be defeated within three days!"

Guan Yu's eyes widened.

Zhao Yun's words offended his pride.

"Xia Houyuan is nothing but a native chicken and a tile dog!"

"That Cao Yuan is just a little clever guy!"

"Zilong, you are so brave, how could you be so afraid of those two thieves?"

Guan Yu was so domineering and arrogant that he could defeat Fengcheng with ease.

Zhao Yun was speechless for a moment.

"boom! Liu

Bei stood up and waved his hand:"I have made up my mind. Zilong does not need to persuade me anymore. Yide and I will lead five thousand elite troops to take Fengcheng directly, and Yun Chang will lead one thousand troops to guard Xiaopei. That's it!"

Seeing that Liu Bei had made up his mind, Zhao Yun had to retreat silently.

That day, Liu Bei personally led 5,000 Xuzhou soldiers and rushed to Fengcheng, 70 miles away.

…

Fengcheng, the county seat.

Xiahou Yuan was writing a secret letter to Cao Cao.

In his secret letter, he described all Cao Yuan's wonderful performances.

"Meng De, today I finally believe that this Cao Ziyou is really a genius gifted to you by God!"

"It was a great blessing for Juaner to marry him."

Xia Houyuan examined the written letter and made sure that Cao Yuan's contribution was not missed. He sent his confidants to Xudu overnight. The messenger was just on his way.

The guards hurried in, cupped their hands and said:"General, report to the general, and the scouts are reporting urgently. , Liu Bei personally led an army of 5,000 people to attack Benfeng City, and the forward was already thirty miles away!"

"Big-eared thief, are you so angry that you are finally going to fall out with Meng De? Xia

Houyuan showed no fear on his face, waved his hand and shouted:"Send the order, the whole army is ready for war!""

The guards took the order and left.

Xia Houyuan then thought again. Although he was confident of holding on to Fengcheng, he only had a thousand soldiers and horses in his hands. What if he couldn't hold it?

Then Liu Bei was obviously coming for Cao Yuan..

If Fengcheng falls and Cao Yuan has a shortcoming, he will miss Cao Cao's great cause.

Thinking of this, Xia Houyuan did not dare to delay and went straight to Cao Yuan's residence.

In a private house in the east of the city.

Xu Chu was commanding Yan Yun Wei, packed his luggage and prepared to go back to Xudu.

Cao Yuan had nothing to do, so he took his wife and Xiao Qiao and played Landlord to pass the time.

Mi Zhen, who was hiding in the room, was"exploded" by the"king" Attracted by"Double Three" and"Shunzi", she couldn't hold back her curiosity and finally walked out.

She quietly moved behind Cao Yuan, watched the three people turning over the bamboo cards, and said that she had never Words I have never heard before, I am fascinated by them

"You are finally willing to come out.

Cao Yuan noticed her and asked casually:"Why, are you interested in giving it a try?""

"No need. Mi

Zhen shook her head and forcibly put away her curiosity, pretending not to care.

Cao Yuan ignored her and continued to fight to the death with the two beauties.

"Mr. Cao is so leisurely and free-spirited. Is he really not worried that Liu Xuande will lead an army to take revenge?"

Mi Zhen couldn't help but ask.

"Listening to Miss Mi's tone, are you still hoping that Liu Bei will lead his army and snatch you back?"

Cao Yuan glanced at her sideways and asked meaningfully.

Mi Zhen blushed and didn't know how to answer.

Say no, she is Liu Bei's fiancée in name.

Could it be that she doesn't want to be rescued? Do you wish you could stay with Cao Yuan, a"robber"?

But come to think of it, you are duplicity and deceiving yourself.

"I said, girl, what good is that bad old man Liu Bei? If you are snatched back by him, you will still be a widow."

"I see that you are traveling with our son, he is a talented man and a beautiful woman, so you can stay with him with peace of mind, and when I return to Xudu, I will ask him to take you as his concubine."

Xu Chu spoke openly again and became a matchmaker.

Mi Zhen immediately blushed, embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Xia Houjuan glared at him and scolded:"Xu Zhongkang, it's a pity that you don't want to be a matchmaker, sister Wan'er. You haven't settled this matchmaking yet, but you've already drawn a red line to this sister of the Mi family. You really have your husband's sake in mind."

"Sister Juaner, you are so good, why did you get involved with me again?~~"

Xiao Qiao also felt dizzy and complained softly.

Xu Chu choked and had no choice but to smile and run away in a hurry.

Just then.

Yan Yunwei came to report that Xia Houyuan was in an emergency.

Before Cao Yuan could say anything, Xia Houyuan hurriedly broke into the courtyard.

"General Xiahou, this is the official's private residence. It's not good for the general to rush in like this."

Cao Yuan complained quite a bit.

Xia Houyuan said with a solemn face:"Cao Ziyou, without further ado, please clean up quickly. I will send someone to escort you out of the city immediately."

"Xiaguan's errands have been completed, so he naturally has to leave Fengcheng. General Xiahou shouldn't be so anxious to drive Xiaguan away."

Cao Yuan asked.

Xiahou Yuan said in a deep voice:"I just got the news that Liu Bei has led five thousand troops to attack Fengcheng. He is clearly coming for you. Of course I have to send you out of the city quickly."

Liu Bei is coming!

Mi Zhen shivered, and the embarrassment on her face immediately changed to worry.

Finally, he told her that Liu Bei would not hesitate to fall out with Cao Cao and take her back.

"The subordinate is just a minor official, why does General Xiahou care so much about the safety of the subordinate?"

Cao Yuan saw something was wrong with Xia Houyuan's attitude.

Xia Houyuan was startled for a moment and hurriedly explained:"That's not your uncle Wang Bi. Please make sure I protect you. I am entrusted by others, so naturally I have to. Looking after you."

This explanation was reasonable and dispelled Cao Yuan's suspicion. However,

Cao Yuan sat down and said calmly:"Since Liu Bei came for Xiaguan, if Xiaguan left, he would be furious after breaking the city. Wouldn't it make the officials and people in the city angry? Xia

Houyuan was shocked and asked urgently:"Then what do you mean? Are you still staying to defend the city?""

"Exactly."

Cao Yuan nodded slightly and poured himself a cup of fragrant tea in a leisurely manner.

With such a leisurely and calm demeanor, it seemed that he did not take Liu Bei's five thousand army into his eyes at all.

"Mr. Cao, are you crazy?"

"There are only a thousand of you, and you absolutely cannot hold on. If you stay, you will be waiting for death. You must go! Mi

Zhen was so anxious that she persuaded Cao Yuan to leave.

Her excitement seemed to come from her heart, as if she was afraid that the life of the man who had kidnapped her was in danger.

Cao Yuan turned around with an unexpected look in his eyes. Looking at Mi Zhen,

Mi Zhen suddenly came back to her senses and immediately blushed again.
