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

Chapter 321 This battle was successful, and the minister wanted to marry the lord of Yunlu County!!!

The person who invited him was Cao Pi, who had fled to the Qin state.

After the failure of the Yecheng Mutiny, Cao Pi disguised himself and escaped to the Qin state and took refuge under Ma Teng.

In order to disgust Cao Cao and to take advantage of Cao Pi’s influence in the Wei state, Ma Teng treated Cao Pi with great grace and courtesy, and made him “Marquis of Ye”.

And Cao Cao declared himself empress, and implemented rice paper, which was exempted from endowments for three years, which greatly panicked the clans in the prefectures, and many families fled to Guanzhong for refuge.

Like Zhong Xiu, Cui Yan, these fleeing celebrities, naturally gathered around Cao Bu.

The purpose was nothing more than to make Cao Cao depose Cao Yuan under the banner of the Qing monarch’s side, and establish Cao Pi, the son of a close clan, as the prince.

There are many Kanto clans gathered around Cao Pi, but unfortunately they have no soldiers in their hands, and they can only be offered by Ma Teng as a mascot, and they have no real power.

Ma Teng countered the defense as an attack, to capture Hongnong, and make a preemptive strike against Wei Guofa!

This made Cao Pi see an opportunity.

“If I can use the power of the Qin army to kill back to the Central Plains, I can raise my arms and recruit the defeated Wei army to surrender, and I can get the military power.”

“With the military power in hand, even if I can’t borrow Ma Teng’s hand to help me seize the throne of the Great Wei Jiangshan, I will be able to grab a place in the Qin Kingdom in the future!”

Cao Pi secretly calculated in his heart.

It was with this idea that he took the initiative to assist Yan Liang in attacking Hongnong.

“Well, since you ask for battle, Marquis Ye, King Ben will grant you invitation.”

Ma Teng also wanted to use Cao Pi’s influence to attract the hearts of the Wei army, and the two hit it off.

“Thank you to the Great King for giving the minister this opportunity to serve Daqin.”

Cao Pi first thanked him, and then gave up his hand again: “Great king, if this battle can be accomplished, the minister wants to brazenly ask the great king for a reward, and also hope that the great king will be allowed and the king will give him.” ”

Ma Teng waved his hand slightly, indicating what reward he wanted, although he said so.

Cao Pi coughed a few times and said with a smile: “If this battle is won, the minister wants to ask the king to give the lord of Yunlu County to the minister.” ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

Ma Teng also changed color slightly, but he did not expect that Cao Pi would ask to marry Ma Yunlu.

Fa Zheng and Jia Xu looked at each other, but the two immediately saw through Cao Pi’s thoughts. This fleeing prince of the Cao family wanted to marry the county lord and marry the Ma family, so as to gain a complete foothold in the Qin Kingdom.

Only in this way will there be an opportunity in the future to recapture the Wei Kingdom through the identity of the son-in-law of the Ma family.

Ma Teng hesitated for a moment.

“Great King, in the future to invade the Qin Kingdom, we will also use Cao Pi to win the hearts of the subjects of the Wei Kingdom, and the Great King recruited him as a son-in-law to appease him and facilitate his control.”

Fa Zheng stepped forward and reminded in a low voice.

Ma Teng suddenly realized, and said with a smile: “Okay, King Ben allows you to invite you, and when you become a class teacher, King Ben will definitely let you be beautiful and marry King Ben’s beloved daughter!” ”

Cao Pi was overjoyed, and he was grateful on the spot.

The military agreement has been decided.

A few days later, Yan Liang commanded 25,000 Qin troops out of Tongguan and rushed towards Hongnong Jun.

In order to cover the flank of Yan Liang’s army, Ma Teng used Zhang Song’s strategy to send Wu Yi with 6,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the line of Shaancheng west of Xin’an City.

In addition, Ma Teng divided tens of thousands of elite troops to increase the defense on the front line of Wuguan to prevent the Wei army from attacking the division.

Ma Teng sat in Chang’an, ordered his son Ma Chao, and personally led an army of 80,000 troops north to Pusaka Pass, preparing to cross the river and capture Hedong County in order to capture Hezhou.

Wei State, East Palace.

The aroma fills the air, and the ears are full of warblers and swallows, laughter.

As the crown prince, Cao Yuan was eating hot pot with relish around the steaming copper stove with all the concubines.

The army is about to march west, and this time to pacify the Qin state, I don’t know how long it will take. Before leaving this gentle township, Cao Yuan naturally wanted to enjoy the leisure time with all the beauties.

“Prince, taste this piece of venison from the concubine~~”

“This piece of roe meat from the concubine Shabu also tastes excellent, and the prince will taste it quickly~~”

“Your Highness, the concubine honors His Highness for a cup ~~”

All the concubines were full of affection and all kinds of courtesy and considerate.

Cao Yuan laughed, the thoughtfulness of the beautiful people, naturally the comers did not refuse. When it’s comfortable.

Yan Yunwei came to report, and Pang Tong came to ask for a meeting, claiming that at the will of the Son of Heaven, he had come to Xuan Cao Yuan to enter the palace to discuss important matters of the military state.

Now that the lanterns were high, Cao Cao suddenly announced that he had entered the palace and asked Pang Tong to come in person.

Something big must happen.

“Dear concubines, you eat first, and I will go back.”

Cao Yuan had to put down the bowl and chopsticks, got up and came to the front hall.

Pang Tong was pacing in the hall, his expression quite solemn.

“Shi Yuan, what is the military affairs that the Father Emperor actually asked you to come and summon me to the palace at night?”

Cao Yuan stepped forward slowly.

Pang Tong was busy giving up his hand, so he wanted to speak.

“Slowly, let me guess.”

Cao Yuan sat down, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: “If I guessed correctly, could it be that something happened in Hongnong County?” ”

Pang Tong was stunned, and then sighed: “His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really like a god, yes, it is indeed an accident in Hongnong County.” ”

With that, he offered an urgent report.

“General Cao Zixiao of Luoyang has just sent an urgent report of eight hundred miles, a few days ago Ma Teng sent Yan Liang to lead an elite army, suddenly sent troops to Tongguan, our army was caught off guard, and lost the city one after another, that Yan Liang has already entered and occupied Xin’an City, only one step away from Hangu Pass!”

Sure enough.

Cao Yuanjian’s eyebrows condensed slightly, put down the teacup, and took the urgent report from Pang Tong’s hand.

“In the Qin Kingdom, there is indeed no shortage of far-sighted and resourceful people, who know that passive defense can only be a dead end, and they can actually convince Ma Teng, an old thief, to counter-defend as an attack!”

Cao Yuan looked at the urgent report in his hand, and couldn’t help but praise.

The conversation turned.

Cao Yuan asked again: “Attacking Hongnong should just be a feint, Ma Teng’s main force should go north to Pusaka Pass, want to cross the Yellow River east to attack our Hedong County, and then connect the Xiongnu and the Black Mountain Army to capture Jinyang!” ”

Pang Tong gasped and looked at Cao Yuan with shocked eyes. Half a day later.

Only then did he come to his senses and take a deep look: “His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s clever calculation, the minister has learned again, and the detailed work of my Guan Zhong has sent back a secret report, and the movement of Ma Teng’s main force is the same as what the prince said!” ”

Cao Yuan only smiled, already calculating a response in his mind.

Ma Teng’s preemptive strike disrupted the strategy he had drawn up for Cao Cao to destroy Qin, and since this was the case, this strategy for destroying Qin also needed to be adjusted accordingly.

“Let’s go, see the father and emperor first.”

Cao Yuan then drove out of the palace and went straight to the palace with Pang Tong.

When he arrived at the Golden Palace, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Zhao Yun, Xiahou Wei and other important ministers had arrived one after another.

The courtiers were full of discussion, apparently they did not expect that Ma Teng, who was on the weak side, would dare to send troops to invade the territory of Great Wei first.

The generals were even more shocked and angry, and they all asked Cao Cao to fight, and they wanted to immediately raise the army, recover the lost land of Hongnong, and destroy Qin in one fell swoop.

Cao Cao remained calm, and seeing that Cao Yuan had arrived, he hurriedly asked, “Prince, what do you think about the Qin army entering the army?” ”
