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

5,000 elite soldiers, just gone?

Xinye City, an important town north of Hanshui, is so broken

Cai Mao, his right-hand man, the head of Jingzhou's military generals, was killed by Cao Cao like this

This dramatic upheaval came so suddenly that Liu Biao suddenly thought that he had a delusion.

"What did you say?".

"Say it again!".

Liu Biao, who came to his senses, jumped up and asked with an almost roar.

Cai He cried and cried, and retold the bad news sadly and angrily.

Liu Biao's body shook for a moment, and he sat down, dumbfounded.

"I reminded you a long time ago that Cao Cao has a scheming person behind him, and he must not be taken lightly, but I didn't expect my worries to come true after all, alas~~".

Relieved by God's Kuaiyue, he shook his head and sighed.

"That doesn't make sense!".

Kuai Yue jumped up and questioned excitedly: "Cao Cao's cavalry is heading south, how can General Cai's eyes and ears not warn in advance, so that Cao's army can easily break through the city and enter?"

Liu Biao suddenly sobered up, and also asked urgently: "Yidu is reasonable, take 10,000 steps back, even if the fine work fails to warn in time, Xinye will not fall so quickly!"

According to the description of the soldiers who fled back, the cavalry of the Cao army who attacked Xinye were all riding red war horses. "

"These red war horses are as fast as lightning, and their speed is incredible, and our army didn't have time to close the city gate before they were rushed in by Cao's army. "

"Because of this, our army can't resist it, and it is easy to lose Xinye. "

Cai He revealed the key to the fall of Xinye.

"The red war horse, swift as lightning?".

"It's so fast that Cai Mao can't even close the city gate?".

Liu Biao's eyes widened, as if he had heard a tale of the Arabian Nights, and he looked at Kuai Yue in astonishment.

Kuai Yue was also full of surprise and dazed, unable to explain.

"The crimson war horse is as fast as lightning, I heard that only in this world, only Lu Bu's red rabbit horse can do it!".

"Could it be that Cao Jun's war horse is this red rabbit horse?"

Kuai Liang guessed.

"Brother is joking!".

"The red rabbit horse is a bloody horse of Dawan, and there is only one horse in the world, and there are at least more than 1,000 horses in the Cao army that attacked Xinye!".

"Could it be that Cao Cao actually has a thousand red rabbit horses?"

Kuai Yue immediately retorted.

Kuai Liang was suddenly awakened, only to realize how ridiculous his guess was.

Sweat and blood BMW, red rabbit horse, is a priceless treasure.

Even if Cao Cao is rich and rivals the country, he can't buy it if he wants to.

"Yes, I'm really confused, how could I have thought that Cao Cao had a thousand red rabbits!".

Kuai Liang shook his head and laughed at himself, looking ashamed.

Liu Biao asked: "If it weren't for the red rabbit, what kind of good horses would Cao Cao's red war horses be able to get rid of our army's eyes and ears and enter Xinye City like a divine soldier?"

Kuai Yue language stopper.

Kuai Liang was also silent.

These two leaders of Jingzhou's strategists were unable to answer Liu Biao's doubts.

Xinye's battle was too bizarre and beyond the comprehension of the two of them.

"Lord, Xinye can't help but recover, and the revenge of the eldest brother and the second brother can't be avenged!"

"Please take the north of Jingxiang, recapture Xinye, kill the Cao thief, and take revenge!"

Cai He begged angrily.

Liu Biao clenched his fists and was about to give the order to send troops.

"My lord, don't act rashly!".

Kuai Liang stopped Liu Biao's impulse.

Liu Biao was shocked, and his incomprehensible eyes glared at Kuai Liang.

"Five thousand elites were wiped out, and De Jue was killed in battle, our army can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and the morale of the army will inevitably be shaken. "

"At this time, sending troops to fight Cao Cao is really a taboo for soldiers. "

Listening to Kuai Liang's reminder, Liu Biao's clenched fist gradually loosened.

Kuai Yue also persuaded: "Besides, Cao Cao still has that red horse cavalry army now, our army has no cavalry, and it is not wise to rashly cross the Han River to fight Cao's army in the wilderness, and please calm down." "

This time, Kuai Yue also stood on the same side as his brother.

Liu Biao shuddered and fell silent.

Although Cai He was eager to take revenge, after analyzing the Kuai brothers, he couldn't help but be deflated.

After a moment of silence.

Liu Biao sighed helplessly: "You are reasonable, we really can't confront Cao Cao head-on, but can we just let Cao Cao occupy Xinye, drink Ma Han water, and hang a sharp sword in the sky over Xiangyang at all times?"

"Cao Cao captured Xiangyang, but also built warships and naval armies, how could it be done overnight. "

"And Cao Cao's real enemy is, after all, Yuan Shao, not the lord. "

Therefore, Liang speculated that after Cao Cao took Xinye, he would return to the north this time and would not covet Xiangyang again. "

Kuai Liang analyzed.

Kuai Yue also said: "The lord only needs to prepare for battle, and in the future, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have a decisive battle, when the battle is difficult to solve, and then wave his army to cross the river, why worry about not recovering Xinye, or even Wancheng!"

The two advisors said a word, and finally calmed Liu Biao's uneasy mood.

After a bitter sigh, Liu Biao said gloomily: "Okay, just according to what you two said, let's stand still for the time being." "

The Kuai brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Cai He was unwilling, he didn't dare to fight anymore.

"Also, we have to send more eyes and ears to find out whether there is really a scheming person behind Cao Cao and offer advice to him. "

"As for the 1,000 red horses, we must also find out who funded Cao Cao. "

"Only by knowing ourselves and knowing the enemy, and fighting Cao Cao again in the future, will we not repeat the mistakes of today!".

Kuai Liang reminded again in a serious tone.

Liu Biao nodded heavily: "You're right, immediately send a fine worker to the north, no matter what, you have to find out the truth of the Cao thief for the old man!"

In the state capital, Liu Biao set the policy of shrinking without fighting and showing weakness to Cao Cao.

And the news of the fall of Xinye and the annihilation of Cai Mao's entire army also spread far and wide, and soon spread throughout Xiangyang.

The people of Jingxiang counties were all shocked.

North of Xiangyang, inside Shuijing Academy.

Two Confucian scholars, an old man and a young man, are sitting in the pond fishing.

The old man's beard was half white, but his eyes were scorching, and his body exuded the breath of wind fairy bones.

The young Confucian scholar is green and down-turned, with a high crown and a handsome face, and a feather fan in his hand, calmly strategizing.

"Na Jia Xu had a poisonous plan, Zhang Xiu surrendered and rebelled, almost to Cao Cao's death. "

But he didn't want to turn around, Cao Cao actually planned to make a plan, and used a trick to trick Zhang Xiu to go north and ambush him in one fell swoop. "

"What do you think of the battle of Wancheng, Kong Ming?"

The old man was the first to break the silence.

This old man is none other than Mr. Shuijing, Sima Hui.

And the young man in the green shirt is his most proud disciple, Zhuge Kongming.

"It is not surprising that Zhang Xiu was capricious and unwilling to take away military power for Cao Thief, and rebelled. "

"Jia Xu is a poisonous plan, and he designed a raid on the camp of the Cao thief's Chinese army, and severely damaged the Cao thief in one fell swoop, which is also expected by me. "

But the Cao thief first sensed Jia Xu's plan, escaped from Ascension one step in advance, and then cheated to death to trap Zhang Xiu, but this series of responses really didn't make me expect. "

Zhuge Liang's tone was as flat as water, and his eyes were always staring at the fish hook.

"I heard some rumors that Cao Cao had another scheming person besides Guo Jia Chengyu. "

"It was this person who saw through Jia Xu's plan for Cao Cao, and offered a plan to trap and kill Zhang Xiu!"

Sima Hui said.

The hook shook slightly.

Zhuge Liang's calm eyes splashed slightly.
