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

Dragon Castle.

Yan Xiang and Qiao Rui had just ascended the city and patrolled as usual.

“In just one month, Sun Celubu was betrayed, and the lord’s territory suddenly shrank by half, and the situation is not optimistic.”

Qiao Rui’s brows froze deeply, and he 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 himself: “Yan Shangshu reminded me that it was my slip of the tongue for a while. ”

“Lü Bu betrayed the alliance, and Sun Ce made chaos, and behind this must be Cao Cao’s means to incite discord!”

Yan Xiang looked north.

Qiao Rui’s face changed slightly, and he guessed: “Then this method is also too clever, could it be Xun Yu’s strategy?” ”

“Xun Yu makes good use of Yang Mou, and such sinister means are not like his style.”

Yan Xiang shook his head slightly, thoughtfully.

His eyes moved, and he thought of something.

“Recently, there are rumors that Cao Cao has newly obtained a strategist, Ye County killed Zhang Xiu, and Xinye beheaded Cai Yao, which is the handiwork of this person.”

“Could it be that Lü Busunce’s betrayal is also fueled by this person?”

Yan Xiang guessed.

Qiao Rui gasped: “Cao Cao originally used soldiers like gods, but now if he has such a scheming and treacherous adviser to assist him, wouldn’t it be like a tiger with wings, then he would have to be more guarded against him taking advantage of the void to attack my dragon!” ”

“Whether that person exists or not is just speculation.”

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

“Besides, that Zhou Yu’s beacon scheme is really a stroke of God, and it is invulnerable.”

“Even if that conspirator really exists, there is nothing he can do.”

“Longqian City, safe as a rock!”

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

“The inspection is almost over, let’s go to the city.”

Yan Xiang turned around and was about to leave.

After Qiao Rui sighed softly, he also turned around and wanted to go down.

This is at this time.

In the middle of the river fog, a burst of trumpets suddenly sounded.

The two looked at each other, became alert, and hurriedly looked back 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 up on the shore.

Countless Cao sergeants and pawns rushed up from the ship like a flood of broken embankments, overwhelming Longqi City.

Cao Jun surprise attack!

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

“Cao Jun?”

“How is this possible, our beacon, why didn’t it warn?”

“This can’t be!”

Yan Xiang’s forehead was sweaty, he shouted hoarsely, and his eyes were like ghosts.

Qiao Ruiqing’s eyes changed, and she said urgently: “Could it be that the man behind Cao Cao is also the conspirator, what kind of clever plan did Cao Cao make to crack our beacon?” ”

Yan Xiang’s figure was cold.

After that, he shook his head and shouted: “No way, Zhou Yu’s beacon tower is invulnerable, even if Jiang Taigong is reborn, it will never be cracked!” ”

Just as he shouted, the Yuan army on duty at the head of the city was already a pot of porridge.

The soldiers who swept the city gate with water fled, 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 transfer the soldiers to defend the city to death!” ”

Qiao Rui looked at the approaching Cao Jun, but he was indifferent, and an enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

“The Cao army came too quickly, and there was no time to mobilize the soldiers to the city.”

“The general trend is gone, let’s go down!”

Qiao Rui let out a long sigh, removed the sword on his waist, and threw it on the ground.

He will surrender without a fight!

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

Yan Xiang was shocked and shouted angrily: “Qiao Rui, are you crazy, you also want to betray Your Majesty?” ”

“Yuan Highway is arrogant and arrogant, risking the world’s great disapproval to become emperor, and I originally did not approve of it.”

“Even if I, Qiao Rui, don’t be a loyal minister of the Han family, I definitely don’t want to be a traitorous thief.”

“Now that Cao Gong’s army has arrived in the city, this is the heavens that will kill Yuan Highway, how can I Qiao Rui not obey the will of heaven!”

“Yan Xiang, I advise you to turn back in time and return to Duke Cao with me.”

Yan Xiang was stunned.

He obviously did not expect that Qiao Rui also had a different intention for Yuan Shu, and he was going to surrender at this critical moment.

“Qiao Rui, Your Majesty treats you well, how can you betray him!”

“You unfaithful and unrighteous thief, I will kill you!”

Yan Xiang roared, and suddenly the sword came out of its sheath and stabbed towards 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 suddenly kill him.

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

“Poof!”

The long sword avoided 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 His 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, “Give me all to take up arms and defend Longqian City for Your Majesty!” ”

The soldiers would not have listened to his orders and immediately dispersed.

Yan Xiang was furious, swinging his sword and slashing several people, but he could not stop the collapse of the soldiers.

Outside the city, the Cao army had already reached the city.

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

Countless Cao troops, flying hooks thrown on the city wall, scrambled to climb the city.

Long Qian lost all lines.

“Who gave a plan for Cao Thief and broke our beacon?”

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

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

Late afternoon.

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

Cao Cao rode into the city and ascended the tower.

“Meng De, our army has controlled the four gates of Longqiang, killed two thousand Yuan troops, and captured more than three thousand people!”

CAO Renxing. Endeavour’s reward.

“Good!”

Cao Cao raised his horse whip and cheerfully shouted: “Summon Xiahou Miaocai, immediately lead Chitu to ride east, take advantage of that Yuan Yao’s unpreparedness, give me a bang to win Shouchun!” ”

“No!”

Cao Ren took the order and said, “Meng De, we also captured Yuan Shu’s henchman Yan Xiang alive, waiting for you to fall!” ”

Saying that, Cao Ren ordered Yan Xiang, who was covered in blood, to escort him to the head of the city.

“Puff tom!”

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

Cao Cao looked down coldly and reprimanded sharply: “Yan Xiang, you subordinate Yuan Shu to rebel, and now you have ended up in this situation, you are guilty!” ”

Yan Xiang’s face was desolate, and he said sadly and indignantly: “It’s just a king or a loser, the destiny of heaven is not my lord, I fell into such a field, there is nothing to say, if you want to kill, kill!” ”

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

“Yuan Shu’s rebel thief, stupid, greedy, and dares to claim his destiny!”

“You are foolish and loyal to this unconscious lord, but also a fool, what use do you have!”

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

Huwei stepped forward and dragged Yan Xiang.

“And slow!”

Yan Xiang struggled and shouted, “Cao Mengde, you died in your hands and have nothing to say, I only ask you to tell me, who offered you a plan for you and broke our beacon?” ”

“You don’t deserve it!”

Cao Cao snorted disdainfully, and waved his hand again.

Huwei dragged Yan Xiang away.

“Cao Cao, tell me who it is, otherwise I won’t die——”

The desolate cry faded away.

Cao Ren continued, “Meng De, we were still in the pile of dead people, we found that Qiao Rui, and I heard that he wanted to return, but he was seriously injured by Yan Xiang. ”

Guo Jiadao next to him sighed: “Hearing that Yuan Shu is called emperor, Qiao Rui is already opposed, if he can return to Sikong alive, Sikong can set an example, which is conducive to winning people’s hearts.” ”

“Filial piety is justified.”

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 condensed, and his eyes were rather regretful.

Then.

Dian Wei beside him rolled his eyes, and hurriedly reminded him: “Sikong, ordinary officials and doctors can’t save this Qiao Rui, that person may not be able to save ah.” ”

That person?

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