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

"The lord is angry, you are injured, our army's heart is shaken, at this moment, because of a momentary anger, it is really unwise to storm Fengcheng!"

Zhao Yun ignored Liu Bei's anger and gave advice loyally.

"Then Cao Yuan is definitely going to be killed, but big brother, your body is more important, let's calm down." "

Zhang Fei didn't follow Liu Bei this time, and made an exception to sing the opposite tune.

Liu Bei didn't listen to the advice, and said angrily: "I have made up my mind, I have to break Fengcheng, and whoever dares to withdraw from the army will be punished for disturbing the morale of the army!"

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were dumbfounded.

The two glanced at each other, and could only sigh helplessly.

Liu Bei was really angered by Cao Yuan, so angry that he lost his mind, and he had to capture Fengcheng at all costs.

At this point, nothing else will help.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun could only give an order and order the soldiers to rest and recuperate and fight again tomorrow.

The next day, it was dawn.

Liu Bei really dragged his wounded body, urged his army, and launched an attack on Fengcheng again.

But this time, Liu Junjun's heart was frustrated by Liu Bei's injury, and the offensive was not as good as yesterday.

After attacking for half a day and paying hundreds of casualties, it still failed to shake Fengcheng.

Liu Bei was naturally unwilling, and ordered to collect his troops and return to the camp to rest and recuperate, and attack again in the coming day.

The soldiers of Liu, who failed in the siege, could only drag their tired bodies and silently retreat to the camp.

...

Night.

In a house at the foot of the east gate of Fengcheng.

Cao Yuan was sipping wine and reading at night.

Footsteps sounded, and Xiahou Yuan hurried over.

"Ziyou, you called me here in the starry night, what's the matter?"

Xiahou Yuan asked before he had time to catch his breath.

Cao Yuan put down the book and said lightly: "General Xiahou, do you still remember, I promised you that within three days, Liu Bei will be broken." "

"Of course I remember. "

Xiahou Yuan's eyes sparkled, and he asked anxiously: "Ziyou, are you finally going to tell the general, what tricks are you going to use to break the enemy?"

Cao Yuan smiled but didn't answer, and glanced at Xu Chu.

Xu Chu rolled up his sleeves and moved a large wooden board on the ground in the courtyard.

A dark tunnel entrance was revealed.

"Ziyou, you are authentic...."

Xiahou Yuan pointed his finger and was confused.

Cao Yuan smiled: "Zhongkang, tell General Xiahou what this tunnel is for." "

Xiahou Yuan looked at Xu Chu.

"Five days ago, my son-in-law borrowed a hundred men from the general and dug this tunnel in this courtyard day and night. "

"This tunnel passes through the city wall, and the exit is just dug under Liu Bei's camp. "

"Our son's plan is to send a group of dead soldiers to infiltrate the enemy camp through the tunnel, set fire to the enemy, and disturb the enemy army. "

General Xiahou led all his troops and horses to launch a night attack when the enemy camp was in turmoil. "

"Let's work together inside and outside, why can't we defeat Liu Bei in one fell swoop!"

Xu Chu told Xiahou Yuan the strategy that Cao Yuan told him that day in an excited tone.

Xiahou Yuan suddenly brightened, and the expression on his face couldn't help but be surprised.

"Ziyou, your strategy is really a wonderful plan that is unpredictable!"

"The big-eared thief, he's definitely not right, we'll get into his den through the tunnel. "

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Xiahou Yuan was full of praise.

But in an instant, his excited expression narrowed, and his eyes turned suspicious.

"You started digging tunnels five days ago, and Liu Bei arrived in Fengcheng three days ago and set up camp. "

"Ziyou, you are in this tunnel, why can you be so coincidental and dig under Liu Bei's camp?"

Xiahou Yuan's puzzled gaze looked at Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan put down the teacup and was about to explain.

Xu Chu preemptively said: "This is not simple, my son-in-law has long since calculated where Liu Bei will set up camp, so he will mention going to that direction to dig tunnels!"

Predict in advance where Liu Bei will camp?

How to choose a camp site must take into account various factors such as terrain, water drawing, and transportation.

If you can combine all kinds of factors and calculate the location where the enemy will be encamped, there are only a handful of strategists in the world who can do it.

"This Cao Yuan, today can be regarded as an eye-opener for me again...."

Xiahou Yuan secretly took a breath of cool air, and glanced at Cao Yuan with intriguing eyes.

Cao Yuan took the last sip of tea, pointed to Mingyue, and reminded: "General Xiahou, at this hour, the enemy army should be asleep, and it's almost time to make a move." "

Xiahou Yuan came back to his senses, put away his sigh, and his face was ablaze.

Hundreds of elite Cao soldiers were immediately selected, and with flammable materials such as fire oil, they sneaked to Liu Jun's camp from the tunnel.

Xiahou Yuan went to gather troops and horses, preparing to go out of the city and attack the enemy camp at night.

"General Xiahou and stay!"

When he was about to turn around, he was kept by Cao Yuan.

"Ziyou, what else do you have to explain?"

Xiahou Yuan looked back at Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan coughed dryly a few times and said with a smile: "General Xiahou, the lower official has a reluctant request, after repelling Liu Bei this time, can the general not mention the lower official in his report to Sikong?"

"Why here?" Xiahou Yuan wondered.

"Xia Guan has no ambitions, he just wants to be a small official, working from 9 to 5, just a beautiful woman. "

"These strategies for the general are also forced by that Liu Bei, and they have no choice but to do so. "

"The lower official knows that Sikong loves talent, if he lets Sikong know, I'm afraid....."

Cao Yuan smiled: "General Xiahou understands, you don't need to say it." "

Xiahou Yuan understood it, he didn't want to show his face on the merit book, for fear of being targeted by Cao Cao, so he was promoted to be a strategist.

It seems that Meng De is right, this Cao Ziyou has a talent that has endured the heavens and latitudes, but he has no ambition to match. "

"Cao Ziyou, Cao Ziyou, it's a pity that you don't know, Meng De has been eyeing you for a long time...."

Xiahou Yuan smiled secretly in his heart, but said with a straight face: "Ziyou, you have spoken, and there is no reason for the general to be strong, and the general has agreed to this matter." "

Cao Yuan was relieved at this time, so he yawned and said: "It's not early, and the lower officials really can't hold on, so I'll go back and rest first, and I'll hear the good news of the general's victory tomorrow morning." "

With that, he bowed his hand, yawned and walked away.

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, if you offend Cao Yuan, it is the biggest mistake you have made in your life!"

Xiahou Yuan smiled coldly, turned over his horse, and went straight to the city gate.

...

Outside the city, Liu Jun's camp.

The eye injury has not healed, and there is a faint pain from time to time, which makes Liu Bei toss and turn and cannot sleep.

He couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and went down, put on a cloak, and walked out of the tent.

Looking up, the lights of Fengcheng are clearly visible.

In his mind, a picture suddenly appeared.

In the room where the red candles are flickering, Cao Yuan is lying on the couch dreaming, and his bride Mi Zhen is in his arms.

Liu Bei shook his head violently, abandoning the cranky thoughts that made his heart like a knife.

"Mi Zhen is my Liu Bei's unmarried wife, she will rather die than keep her innocence!"

"Cao Yuan dog thief, if you dare to touch her, after I break the city, I will make your life worse than death~~"

Liu Bei clenched his fists and swore secretly.

Suddenly.

In the hinterland of the camp ahead, several flames rose into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, panicked shouts of killing sounded everywhere in the camp.

Liu Bei suddenly changed color.
