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

Fengcheng, the main hall of the county government.

Xiahou Yuan sat upright, staring at Sun Qian, who was standing with his hands in front of the hall, with cold eyes.

This Liu Bei's strategist, after entering the city to see him, named him to see Cao Yuan, and his attitude was quite arrogant.

Xiahou Yuan knew that Sun Qian's arrogant confidence was Liu Bei's 5,000 soldiers and horses outside the city.

If it weren't for the protection of Cao Yuan, he would have been furious at this moment and beat Sun Gan with a stick.

Liu Bei wants to attack the city, let him attack it, the big deal is a battle to the death.

Now in order to ensure Cao Yuan's thoughtfulness, Xiahou Yuan had to choose forbearance and sent someone to invite Cao Yuan.

"General Xiahou summoned the subordinate officials, I don't know what it is?"

Cao Yuan walked into the main hall and walked past Sun Qian, without even looking at him.

As soon as he saw Cao Yuan, hostility immediately appeared on Sun Gan's face.

Xiahou Yuan pointed at Sun Gan: "This person's name is Sun Qian, he is a strategist under Liu Bei, and he was ordered to send an envoy to see this official, and he named and wanted to see you." "

Liu Bei's messenger....

Cao Yuan glanced back at Sun Qian, and vaguely guessed Liu Bei's intentions.

"When there is something, I say, I'm busy. "

Cao Yuan sat down and said nonchalantly.

His attitude made Sun Qian's heart angry.

Forcibly holding down the displeasure, Sun Qian said coldly: "My lord said, as long as you return the dowry of our wife and the Mi family, and then go to my camp in person and kowtow to my lord to make amends, my lord is benevolent and righteous, but he can be magnanimous and spare your life!"

Cao Yuan smiled coldly.

It turned out that this Sun Qian had come to give an ultimatum.

Liu Bei, this is a soldier who wants to surrender without a fight.

"Liu Bei was reluctant to kill and wound his soldiers and did not dare to storm Fengcheng, so he wanted to threaten General Xiahou to hand me over. "

"This blank set of white wolf's carving insect skills, if I guess correctly, it should be your Sun Gan's handiwork, right?"

Cao Yuan understated Liu Bei's intentions.

Even, even Sun Qian, the person who offered the plan, also pointed out.

"How easily did he discern my plan?"

Sun Qian shuddered, looked at the handsome young man in front of him again with surprised eyes.

Then, he took a sharp breath and regained his arrogance.

"Even if that's it!"

Sun Gan snorted disdainfully, "Our army is five times larger than the defenders of Fengcheng, you should know that as long as my lord is determined to attack the city, he will be able to break the city in less than three days, and at that time, if you want to kowtow to make amends and beg my lord for mercy, it will be too late." "

"Liu Bei is so confident?"

Cao Yuan took a sip of tea and asked rhetorically.

"Cao Yuan, I know you have some wisdom, but you should understand that in the face of absolute strength, your little tricks are not vulnerable at all!"

"For your own sake, and for the survival of the people of Fengcheng, I advise you to get acquainted. "

Sun Qian sneered and threatened again.

Cao Yuan smiled disdainfully: "I, Cao Yuan, am not scared, if I don't throw myself into the net, what can you do?"

"You-"

Sun Qian's words were stopped, and his eyes were angry.

He flicked his sleeves and turned to Xiahou Yuan.

"General Xiahou, my lord does not want to be an enemy of Cao Gong, let alone attack Fengcheng. "

"If it weren't for this fanatic little official, who kidnapped my wife and humiliated my lord in front of the world, my lord would not have been forced to raise troops to attack Fengcheng. "

"I also ask General Xiahou to put the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city first, hand over Cao Yuan, a fanatic, and my lord promises to withdraw immediately!"

Sun Qian saw that he couldn't fool Cao Yuan, so he had to ask Xiahou Yuan for it instead.

It's a pity that he underestimated Xiahou Yuan.

Mo said how important Cao Yuan was to Cao Cao, even if he was just an insignificant member of Cao Ying, he was also a member of Cao Ying, how could Xiahou Yuan hand him over because he was afraid that Liu Bei would be powerful.

"What kind of thing is the big-eared thief, he dares to threaten the general!"

Xiahou Yuan was enraged, and shouted: "Come on, cut off this Sun Gan's ears, drive out the sticks, and let the big-eared thief know what will happen to Xiahou Yuan who threatens me!"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Qian changed color in shock.

He never expected that Xiahou Yuan would not be threatened, and he would humiliate him like this.

Cao Yuan was also quite surprised, and nodded in approval, worthy of Cao Cao's brother and the fierce general of the Xiahou family.

Liu Bei dared to threaten him, but he could only bring humiliation on himself.

The left and right guards, drew their knives and stepped forward, and held Sun Qian down.

Sun Qian was furious and shouted: "Xiahou Yuan, if you dare to insult me like this, my lord will set foot in Pingfeng City, so that you and Cao Yuan will die without a place to be buried!"

Xiahou Yuan was moved and waved his hand fiercely.

"Click!"

Two knives went down, and both ears were cut off.

Sun Gan howled in pain, covered his broken ear and fell to the ground.

Cao Yuan admired his miserable situation, and said coldly: "Sun Qian, you also give Liu Bei an ultimatum for me, now roll the cover back to Xiaopei, and have a decent ending, otherwise, within three days, I will make him a fiasco!"

Sun Qian was shocked and angry, but he didn't dare to stay arrogantly any longer, so he fled with a crawl.

"General Xiahou is really flattering to protect the subordinate like this. "

Cao Yuan smiled and bowed his hand to Xiahou Yuan.

"Don't say it's Cao... Wang Bi has called and asked Ben General to protect you, even if it is a pawn in my Cao Ying, I Xiahou Yuan will protect the calf!"

Xiahou Yuan said with a domineering face.

Cao Yuan nodded slightly, and looked at Xiahou Yuan even more impressed.

As soon as the domineering was retracted, Xiahou Yuan said again: "The general cut off Sun Gan's ear, which completely angered Liu Bei, and there is no room for turnaround, Cao Cangling, are you really sure that you can break Liu Bei within three days?"

"General Xiahou is a little restless, just wait patiently. "

Cao Yuan said with relief.

Xiahou Yuan calmed down, so he didn't ask any more questions, and got up and went to the city to preside over the overall situation.

Outside the city.

Sun Qian, who had broken his ear, had left the city in a hurry and fled to the camp of Liu Jun.

Within the Great Tent.

Liu Bei was still sipping tea, waiting for Sun Qian's good news.

"Then if Xiahou Yuan hands over Cao Yuan, I will personally dismantle him into eight pieces, and let out a good breath!"

Zhang Fei rubbed his fists and gritted his teeth.

Between Liu Bei's eyebrows, there was also a cold killing machine.

That's when it happened.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Sun Gan, whose face was covered with blood, stumbled in and fell in front of the tent.

His miserable situation surprised everyone.

Liu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and asked in surprise: "Gongyou, how did you become like this, who did it?"

"Lord, it was Xiahou Yuan who cut off his ears to humiliate the lord~~"

Sun Qian cried bitterly.

"Xiahou Yuan?"

Liu Bei's face changed, and he said angrily: "Why did he treat you like this?"

Sun Qian cried and cried, and told the cause and effect indignantly.

Liu Bei's face became more and more pale, and the anger in his eyes gradually burned.

"That Cao Yuan not only refused to come to make amends, but also released wild words, saying that he would break our army within three days, and let the lord go back to Xiaopei immediately!"

Sun Qian lay in Liu Bei's arms and shouted angrily.

Zhang Fei burst into flames and shouted: "Xiahou Yuan and Cao Yuan, the two dog thieves, dare not take the eldest brother in their eyes like this, big brother, what are we waiting for!"

Liu Bei's anger was ignited in an instant.

What soldiers were killed and wounded, and what was preserved strength, all were left behind.

He jumped up and shouted angrily: "Pass the order, the whole army will go out of the camp and line up, and I will set foot in Pingfeng City immediately!"

Zhao Yun wanted to persuade Liu Bei to calm down, but seeing that Liu Bei was carried away by anger, he didn't dare to squeak.

Five thousand soldiers and soldiers of Liu, without waiting for the camp to be set up, assembled in formation and forced towards the east gate of Fengcheng.

A siege battle is just around the corner.
