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

Longkang City.

Yan Xiang and Qiao Rui had just ascended to the top of the city, making their rounds as usual.

"In just one month, Sun Ce and Lu Bu have all betrayed, and the lord's territory has shrunk by half at once, and the situation is not optimistic. "

Qiao Rui frowned, shook his head and sighed.

Yan Xiang glanced at him and reminded: "General Qiao, pay attention to your title, now there is only Your Majesty, but there is no lord." "

Qiao Rui was stunned, and hurriedly blamed herself: "Yan Shangshu reminded me that I made a slip of the tongue for a while. "

"Lu Bu betrayed the alliance, Sun Ce made a rebellion, behind this must be Cao Cao's means to incite discord!"

Yan Xiang looked to the north.

Qiao Rui's face changed slightly, and she guessed: "Then this method is too clever, could it be Xun Yu's strategy?"

"Xun Yu is good at using yang schemes, such treacherous methods don't seem to be his style. "

Yan Xiang shook his head slightly, thoughtful.

Suddenly, his eyes moved, and he thought of something.

"Recently, it has been rumored that Cao Cao has a new man of intrigues, Ye County killed Zhang Xiu, and Xinye beheaded Cai Mao, which was the handiwork of this person. "

"Could it be that Lu Bu Sun Ce's betrayal is also behind this person's back?"

Yan Xiang guessed.

Qiao Rui gasped: "Cao Cao was originally like a god, and now if he is assisted by such a scheming and treacherous strategist, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings, then he will have to be more prevented from taking advantage of the weakness to attack my dragon!"

"Whether that person exists or not is just speculation. "

Yan Xiang's face regained his composure and pointed in the direction of the beacon tower by the river.

"Besides, Zhou Yu's plan to build a beacon tower is really a stroke of genius and is impeccable. "

"Even if the conspirator really exists, there is nothing he can do. "

"Long Kang City, safe as a rock!".

Qiao Rui was silent, looking at the beacon tower looming under the morning mist, and she always felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"It's almost time to make the rounds, let's go down to town. "

Yan Xiang turned around and was about to leave.

After Qiao Rui sighed softly, she also turned around and wanted to go down to the city.

This is at this time.

In the middle of the river mist, a trumpet suddenly sounded.

The two glanced at each other, suddenly alerted, and hurriedly turned back to look at the river.

I saw that in the river fog, countless warships, like ghost ships, suddenly rushed out of the fog.

In the blink of an eye, the boats washed ashore.

Countless Cao soldiers and soldiers, like a torrent bursting from the embankment, poured up from the ship, overwhelmingly rolling towards Longkang City.

Cao Jun's surprise attack!

Yan Xiang and the others changed color in shock, and their faces were instantly occupied by consternation.

"Cao Jun?".

"How is this possible, why didn't our beacon warn?".

"This can't be!".

Yan Xiang was sweating on his forehead, screaming hoarsely, and his eyes were like ghosts.

Qiao Rui's eyes changed, and she said hurriedly: "Could it be that the scheming man behind Cao Cao is again, what kind of trick did Cao Cao use to crack our beacon?"

Yan Xiang's body was in shape.

After that, he shook his head and shouted: "Impossible, Zhou Yu's beacon is invulnerable, even if it is Jiang Taigong's rebirth, it will never be cracked!"

Just as he was shouting, Yuan Jun, who was on duty at the head of the city, was already in a mess.

The soldiers who sprinkled water and swept the floor at the city gate fled even more in despair, and even forgot to close the city gate.

Yan Xiang came back to his senses and shouted, "General Qiao, what are you waiting for, immediately order the city gate to be closed, and the soldiers are transferred to defend the city!"

Qiao Rui looked at Cao Jun who was approaching, but she was indifferent, and a flash of realization flashed in her eyes.

"Cao's army came too fast, and there was no time to mobilize soldiers to the city. "

"The general trend has gone, let's come down!".

Qiao Rui let out a long sigh, unloaded the saber at his waist, and threw it on the ground.

He's going to surrender without a fight!

Seeing this, the Yuan army on the left and right instantly collapsed, and they also threw down their weapons.

Yan Xiang was shocked and shouted angrily: "Qiao Rui, are you crazy, are you going to betray Your Majesty?"

"Yuan Highway is arrogant and arrogant, risking the world's disapproval to usurp the emperor, I don't approve of it. "

"Even if I, Qiao Rui, am not a loyal minister of the Han family, I never want to be a rebellious minister and thief. "

"Now that the army of Cao Gong has come to the city, this is the heaven that will die on the Yuan Highway, how can I, Qiao Rui, not conform to the will of heaven!".

"Yan Xiang, I advise you to turn back in time and return to Cao Gong with me. "

Yan Xiang was stunned.

He obviously didn't expect that Qiao Rui also had a different heart for Yuan Shu, and he would surrender to Cao at this critical moment.

"Qiao Rui, Your Majesty treats you well, how can you betray him!".

"I will kill you, you unfaithful and unrighteous thief!"

Yan Xiang roared, and suddenly his sword came out of its sheath and stabbed at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui was taken aback, but he didn't expect Yan Xiang to just listen to his advice, and he didn't dare to attack the killer.

In a hurry, he had to barely flash to the side.

"Poof!".

The sword dodged the heart, but stabbed him in the abdomen.

Qiao Rui screamed and fell to the ground with a bang.

Yan Xiang held the blood sword in his hand and shouted, "Whoever dares to betray Your Majesty will be the end!"

Yuan Jun on the left and right was stunned, and they all froze in place.

Yan Xiang waved his blood sword and shouted, "Pick up weapons for me and defend Longkang City for Your Majesty!"

How could the soldiers listen to his orders and scatter in an instant?

Yan Xiang was furious and swung his sword to kill several people, but he could not contain the collapse of the soldiers.

Outside the city, Cao's army has been killed under the city.

Countless Cao troops poured into the city gate like tigers and wolves.

Countless Cao troops, flying hooks threw onto the city wall, scrambling to climb the city.

Long Kang lost all the fronts.

"Who is it who gave advice to the thief and broke our beacon?"

"Could it really be that a strange man from heaven gave that Cao thief, and His Majesty is destined to die at the hands of Cao thief?"

Yan Xiang could only look up to the sky and ask sadly.

In the early afternoon.

The killing finally fell silent, and above the four gates, the Cao Zi flag was raised.

Cao Cao rode his horse into the city and climbed the tower.

"Meng De, our army has taken control of the four gates of Longkang, killed 2,000 Yuan troops, and collected more than 3,000 people!".

Cao Renxing's report.

"Good!".

Cao Cao raised his horse whip and shouted happily: "Order Xiahou Miaocai, immediately lead the Red Rabbit to ride eastward, take advantage of Yuan Yao's unpreparedness, and give me a bang to win Shouchun!"

"No!".

Cao Ren received the order and said: "Meng De, we also captured Yuan Shu's henchman Yan Xiang alive, and we are waiting for you to send it!"

After that, Cao Ren drank the order and escorted Yan Xiang, who was covered in blood, to the city.

"Plop!".

Yan Xiang was pushed to the ground and knelt in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked down coldly, and shouted loudly: "Yan Xiang, you obeyed Yuan Shu to rebel, and now you have ended up like this, you are guilty!"

Yan Xiang's face was desolate, and he said sadly: "It's just a matter of becoming a king and defeating a king, the destiny of heaven is not in my lord, I fell into such a field, I have nothing to say, if you want to kill, you will kill!"

Cao Cao originally had the intention to persuade him to surrender, but seeing that he was so loyal to Yuan Shu, he had the intent to kill in his heart.

"Yuan Shu's traitor, stupid, greedy, and dare to boast of the destiny of heaven!"

"You are stupid and loyal to such a faint master, and you are also a fool, what is the use of leaving you!".

Cao Cao flicked his hand and shouted: "Drag this thief down and behead it for public display!"

The tiger guard stepped forward and dragged Yan Xiang down.

"Wait!".

Yan Xiang struggled and shouted: "Cao Mengde, you died in your hands and have nothing to say, I just ask you to tell me, who gave you a plan for you and broke our beacon

?"

"You don't deserve it!".

Cao Cao snorted coldly and waved his hand again.

The Tiger Guard dragged Yan Xiang away.

"Cao Cao, tell me who it is, otherwise I won't be blind to death-".

The desolate cry faded away.

Cao Ren said again: "Meng De, we are still in the pile of dead people, we found that Qiao Rui, I heard that he wanted to surrender, but he was stabbed by Yan Xiang and seriously injured. "

Guo Jiadao beside him sighed: "I heard that Yuan Shu was called the emperor, Qiao Rui was against it, if he can return to Sikong alive, Sikong can set an example, which is conducive to winning people's hearts." "

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable. “

Cao Cao nodded slightly and asked, "Zixiao, can this Qiao Rui still be saved?"

Cao Ren shook his head and sighed: "He was injured too badly, and the medical officers were helpless, and they all said that they couldn't save him." "

"It's a pity..."

Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and his eyes were quite regretful.

Then.

Dian Wei beside him rolled his eyes, and hurriedly reminded in his ear: "Sikong, ordinary officials and doctors can't save this Qiao Rui, and that person may not be able to save him." "

That person?

Cao Cao's thoughts turned, and his eyes flashed.
