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

Chapter 248

Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang smiled knowingly.

Sun Ce also laughed loudly:"Sure enough, wise men have the same opinion."

Liu Bei was confused and asked:"Military advisor, Governor Zhou, what does this fire attack mean?"

"Once the fire breaks out, the Wei army, including its ships and camps, will be burned to ashes and annihilated in an instant."

"Even if Cao Cao's thieves have millions of troops, what's the use?"

"This fire attack strategy is not the best way to quickly defeat Cao's thieves."

Zhuge Liangyao solved the mystery.

Liu Bei suddenly realized it and clapped his legs and said:"What the military counselor said makes sense. Fire attack is indeed a quick victory strategy."

"Ryo has seen Koto Mishuro's cleverness today and admires him."

Zhuge Liang lay on the couch and offered his hands to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu also smiled and praised:"Wolong is worthy of being Wolong. Today, Yu is the master of the leader."

The two started to talk about each other's business.

"Military Advisor, Governor of Zhou, Bei still has a question."

"If we want to burn Cao's camp, we must use fire ships, but will Cao's thieves sit back and wait for death and let our fire ships burn him?"

After Liu Bei was overjoyed, he calmed down.

The confidence on the faces of Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang suddenly fell silent.

Sun Ce also said:"What the King of Han said makes sense, Gong Jin, although this fire attack strategy is a quick victory, but I'm afraid it's still a bit difficult to implement successfully."

Zhou Yu frowned and was silent for a moment.

"Therefore, if you want to successfully implement the fire attack strategy, you must also supplement it with a false surrender strategy."

Zhuge Liang had a mysterious sneer on his face.

"Fraudulent surrender plan?"

Sun Ce and the other three looked at Zhuge Liang.

"If you want to successfully cast the fire ship, you must let the Cao thieves relax their vigilance and leave no defenses."

"Therefore, we need to send people to pretend to surrender to Cao Cao's thieves first, pretending to lead the grain ship to defect, so that we can successfully approach the Wei camp."

"Only in this way can he take the enemy by surprise and release the fire ship, burning the Wei army's warship in one fell swoop!"

Zhuge Liang explained his plan to surrender.

Everyone suddenly realized it.

Sun Ce and Liu Bei looked at each other and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"What Mr. Kong Ming said is true. If you want to use the fire attack strategy, you really need to use the false surrender strategy first!"

Zhou Yu also nodded in agreement.

Next, several people discussed who to send to pretend to surrender.

"This person who pretended to surrender must be very important in order for Cao Cao to take him seriously."

"Liang thought that the King of Wu could choose an important minister with high moral character and high prestige among the ministers of Wu State to go and feign surrender to Cao Cao."

Zhuge Liang suggested.

Sun Ce rolled his eyes a few times and then said:"Old General Yi Gong is a veteran of two dynasties of my Sun family. What do you think, Mr. Kong Ming, of letting him pretend to surrender?"

"It was natural for General Yi Gong to fake a surrender."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.

Sun Ce immediately issued an edict and summoned Han Dang to meet at the Han camp.

Not long after, an old general with white beard and hair stepped into the tent.

Sun Ce told Han Dang the strategy they had discussed.

Han Dang was greatly refreshed and said happily:"Since the king has a clever plan to defeat the Cao thieves, I am willing to pretend to surrender the Cao thieves and burn the Wei camp for the king!" Sun

Ce was overjoyed and praised Han Dang.

Han Dang said,"But I heard that Cao Cao was always cunning and suspicious. He also had Cao Yuan as his assistant. Can I deceive the second Cao with his false surrender?""

This sentence stopped Sun Ce from asking, and he turned to look at Zhou Yu.

"This is easy. Zhou

Yu smiled secretly, but said:"If you want to deceive Ercao, you only need to implement another painful trick.""

Everyone was shocked and looked at Zhou Yu with puzzled eyes.

"Gongjin, what is the bitter meat scheme?"

Sun Ce urged.

"Mr. Kong Ming is extremely resourceful, but do you know what Yu’s cruel trick means?"

Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile, intending to test his wisdom.

Zhuge Liang was about to point it out, but he swallowed it back and pretended to be confused:"I'm sorry Liang is so stupid. I can't figure out the meaning of the governor's cruel plan. Please ask the governor. Express."

Seeing that Zhuge Liang couldn't guess his own plan, Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with a little pride.

At that moment, Zhou Yu explained the plan in a hurry.

Everyone suddenly understood. Zhuge Liang clicked his tongue and praised:"The governor's plan is really a stroke of genius. Ah, Liang dares to conclude that not to mention the thief Cao, even Cao Yuan can't see through his plan!"

Zhuge Liang's compliment made Zhou Yu even more proud.

Sun Ce frowned and said with concern:"This cruel trick is indeed wonderful, but General Yi Gong is already very old. How can I bear to let him suffer like this?"

"Don’t worry, Your Majesty, although I am old, I still have a strong body. Isn’t it just dozens of military staffs? I can afford it! Han

Dang said calmly and fearlessly.

Sun Ce was still hesitant.

Han Dang became anxious and cupped his hands and said:"Your Majesty, this plan is related to the life and death of our country of Wu. I have received the kindness of the late King Wentai, and it is right to repay it with my death." Please, Your Majesty, please don’t worry about me, let me carry out this cruel plan!"

Speaking of this, Sun Ce naturally had no reason to refuse.

At that moment,

Sun Ce stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed deeply to Han Dang:

"The righteous old general has such great righteousness. On behalf of the Sun family and the thousands of people of the Wu Kingdom, I would like to express my gratitude to the old general! Han

Dang hurriedly helped Sun Ce up and said seriously:"It is an honor for me to do my best for the king. The king wants to kill me." Sun

Ce put Zhuang Su away and laughed loudly:"If the old general succeeds in this plan, he will be the first to contribute to the decisive battle at Chibi. His name will surely go down in history and be passed down through the ages!""

Liu Bei, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were busy complimenting Han Dang.

The blood in Han Dang's old body was quietly boiling.

So, several people decided on the military strategy in the big tent.

……

Wulin, Weiying on the north bank.

In the king's tent.

Cao Cao frowned slightly and was studying the urgent report from Guanzhong in his hand.

Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son, with Jia Xu as the mastermind, successfully ambushed Han Sui in Chencang ten days ago and annexed Han Sui's tribe in one fell swoop.

Han Sui was destroyed, and the Ma family became the most powerful force in Yongliang.

The generals of Xiliang were shocked by this and declared their loyalty to Ma Teng and his son.

At this point, Ma Teng has nominally unified the two states of Yongliang.

"Unexpectedly, during the Battle of Wancheng, Jia Xu, a poisonous warrior, escaped and defected to Ma Teng, and now he helped him capture Yongliang Prefecture!"

Cao Cao murmured with emotion.

Cheng Yu said:"Ma Teng has stolen Yongliang and has a hundred thousand troops under his command, and they are all brave and capable Xiliang troops. If he sends his troops out of the border, the consequences will be disastrous."

All the generals in the tent joined in one after another, and they were quite nervous for a while.

"Ziyou, what do you think?"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan said calmly:"Since we are afraid that the horse will leave the pass, then we can use some tricks to lead his troops elsewhere."

"Leading the troops elsewhere? Cao

Cao's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly:"Ziyou has any clever ideas, tell me quickly.""

"Zhang Luxiong occupies Hanzhong, and Hanzhong borders Guanzhong, which poses a threat to Ma Teng."

"I know that Zhang Lu has a counselor named Yang Song who is extremely greedy for money."

"The king can send a lobbyist to Hanzhong secretly, bribe Yang Song heavily, let him act as an internal agent, and secretly invite Ma Teng to capture Hanzhong."

"Ma Teng was short-sighted and must have coveted the wealth of Hanzhong. He led the Xiliang army south to the Qinling Mountains and captured Hanzhong."

"In this way, we, the Central Plains, can sit back and relax, and the king can safely take care of Liu Bei and Sun Ce."

"After the south is pacified, the king will send his troops into the pass again, wipe out Ma Teng in one fell swoop, and recapture Guanlong."

Cao Yuan took his time and offered a plan.
