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

Shouchun City.

In the golden hall of the palace, there was singing and dancing, and people were intoxicated.

Yuan Yao was sitting on the dragon throne, drinking wine and admiring the beauty dancing and making shadows.

Yuan Shu was in charge personally. As the prince, he had the power to supervise the country. He just wanted to take advantage of Yuan Shu's absence to enjoy the pleasures that only his father was entitled to enjoy.

"Yuan Jun is surrounded by enemies, but he is still in the mood to indulge in wine and sex. Like father, like son....."

Zhou Yu, who was accompanying him, used the glass of wine to cover his face, and a hint of disdain flashed across his lips.

"Gong Jin, can your beacon tower really ensure that Long Kang is infallible?"

After a glass of wine, Yuan Yao suddenly asked.

The prince of Zhongguo was not completely confused after all, and knew that there was still a threat from Cao Cao in the north.

Zhou Yu hurriedly put down the wine glass, cupped his hand and said with a smile:"Is this beacon tower plan? Although it is a stupid method, it remains unchanged in response to all changes. No matter how cunning the thief Cao is, he will never be able to break it."

"That's good."

Yuan Yao was completely relieved, and he laughed and said:"Then the prince can sit back and relax and wait for the triumphant return of his father, the emperor."

He picked up the wine glass and drank several glasses of wine, completely letting down his guard.

"Yuan Shu and his son are foolish and ignorant. Even if our beacon tower can help him defend against Cao Cao for a while, they will be defeated sooner or later."

"I have to think of a way to leave early and go to Jiangdong to join Bo Fu....."

Zhou Yu twirled his chin with his fingers, thinking secretly in his heart.

Sudden.

The Royal Guardsman rolled and crawled into the hall and knelt down at the foot of the jade steps.

"Report to His Highness the Crown Prince, something serious has happened. Cao Jun’s cavalry has entered Shouchun!"

A thunderbolt struck the golden palace.

Yuan Yao dropped his wine glass, his face suddenly changed with fright, and he almost fell off the dragon throne.

Zhou Yu was also shaken, and a look of shock suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Song in the Palace When Ji Wuji heard that Cao Jun entered the city, she screamed in fear and scattered.

The ministers who were sitting with them immediately exploded into an uproar.

"Nonsense!"

"Qiao Ruiyan and the others are still guarding Longkang City. How can Cao's cavalry advance into Shouchun?"

"Did they fall from the sky?"

Yuan Yao stabilized his figure and yelled furiously.

"How dare you lie about the military situation!"

"Cao's cavalry, all riding red horses, came from the direction of Longkang. They were so fast that we had no time to close the city gate before they came in!"

The Kingsguard yelled with a trembling voice.

"Red war horse?"

Yuan Yao fell down and was stunned.

Zhou Yu also jumped up and said in surprise:"I heard that in the battle of Xinye, Cao Cao got thousands of red horses, all of which were as fast as red rabbit horses. Could it be that the rumors are true? Cao Cao Is it because these red horse cavalry suddenly attacked Shouchun?"

"impossible! Yuan

Yao waved his hand and shouted hoarsely:"Even if Cao Cao has such powerful cavalry, and we still have Longkang City, how could we not give any warning?""

Zhou Yu was startled, and also fell into shock and doubt.

At this moment, a shocking sound of killing could be heard outside the hall.

Yuan Yao shuddered, rushed out of the hall in a few steps, and looked up.

He saw fire all around in the west direction of the city. The sound of killing shook the sky.

There was also the sound of rolling iron cavalry, coming from far and near, heading towards the palace.

"newspaper~~"

"Our army was defeated across the board and could not withstand it. Cao's cavalry was heading towards the palace!"

Another Royal Forest Guard rolled and crawled down in front of the steps.

Yuan Yao took three steps back, froze in shock, and murmured:"What's going on? What's going on?"

Zhou Yu's thoughts were racing, and suddenly a strange color flashed in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"This must be because Longkang City has been lost, so Cao Jun can catch Shouchun by surprise!"

Zhou Yu finally figured it out.

Yuan Yao said with confusion on his face:"Long Kang has your beacon tower, how could it suddenly fall without any warning?"

Zhou Yu frowned deeply and said in a deep voice:"There is only one possibility, that is, Cao Cao cracked the beacon tower plan and attacked Longkang City with the same unexpected method!"

"Didn't you say that your beacon tower can protect Long Kang from failure, so how could it be discovered by Cao Cao? Yuan

Yao asked angrily.

Sweat rolled down Zhou Yu's forehead, and he cupped his hands and said,"After much thought, no one among the counselors in Cao's camp should be able to crack the Beacon Tower strategy. The only one who has this ability must be the rumored one." , the mysterious schemer behind Cao Cao"

"The scheming man behind Cao Cao?"

Yuan Yao's anger turned into confusion.

"There have long been rumors in the world that Cao Cao was able to conquer Wancheng and march to Xinye in one month because he had the help of a strange person."

"I guess it was this person who secretly helped Cao Cao break down my beacon tower!"

Zhou Yu's tone was full of fear, and he analyzed this.

Yuan Yao shuddered and said in a trembling voice:"If this is really the case, then this person's resourcefulness is really unbelievable. What should we do now?"

The prince of the Yuan family is already in chaos.

Zhou Yu sighed:"Now that the matter has come to this, Shouchun's fall has become a foregone conclusion. The best option for the prince is to abandon the city and quickly go to meet with His Majesty."

Yuan Yao shouted without thinking:"Send the order, all the forest guards, protect this prince out of the city as soon as possible! Zhou

Yu rolled his eyes and said hurriedly:"Your Highness, the imperial seal cannot fall into the hands of Cao Cao. I will get it for you now!""

"That's right, if I lose the imperial seal, how can my father spare me! Yuan

Yao nodded heavily and shouted:"Go quickly and get the jade seal of the state, and then burn the inner treasury. You can't leave a penny to the thief Cao!""

"promise!"

Zhou Yu ran away.

The palace was in chaos, and the palace maids and concubines scattered with their heads in their hands.

Yuan Yao finally summoned more than a hundred imperial forest guards, and just waited for Zhou Yu to take the jade seal before escorting him out of the city.

Not long after, in the east, In the direction of the library, thick smoke and fire rose into the sky.

I just waited and waited, but Zhou Yu never came.

"Your Highness, Zhou Yu took the imperial seal and escaped from the palace alone!"Yuan

Yao, who was ordered to rush forward, shouted.

Yuan Yao swayed and was stunned on the spot.

There is no doubt that Zhou Yu robbed him of the Yuan family's national jade seal and abandoned him.

Zhou Yu also wanted to betray him. Yuan family!

"Zhou Yu, you ungrateful thief, you are just like Sun Ce, a white-eyed wolf.~~"

Yuan Yao was furious and cursed hysterically.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise.

The palace door had been knocked open.

The red cavalry of Cao's army rushed into the palace like flowing fire.

Yuan Yao was so frightened that he lost all his anger and did not bother to take back the imperial seal. He hurriedly fled from the palace. Outside.

Zhou Yu summoned more than ten soldiers, carrying the jade seal passed down from the country, and galloping on horseback.

"I took this national jade seal to Jiangdong and gave it to Bo Fu. It can be regarded as a meeting gift for me to defect to him."

Zhou Yu was secretly calculating in his mind.

However, he did not leave the city directly. Instead, he came to a mansion first.

On the door plaque was written the word"Qiao Mansion".

This was Qiao Rui's mansion.

Zhou Yu didn't bother to call the door. , directly ordered his soldiers to knock open the door of the house.

He entered with his sword in hand and rushed straight into the main hall. The slaves of the Qiao family were frightened and backed away.

"Zhou Yu, what do you want to do by forcefully breaking into my Qiao house?"

A middle-aged woman blocked the front of the hall and shouted harshly.

Behind the woman, there were two beautiful girls hiding, holding the woman's arms tightly, their pretty faces pale and uneasy.

Zhou Yu stepped forward and cupped his hands:"Cao's army has entered Shouchun. Something happened suddenly. I have no choice but to break in. Please forgive me, madam."

This Mrs. Xu is Qiao Rui's wife.

The two girls behind her are Qiao Rui's daughters, named Qiao Ying and Qiao Wan. People in Shouchun call them Er Qiao.

"Cao Jun entered Shouchun?"

Xu became panicked and asked anxiously:"What about my master? Isn't he still guarding Longkang? How could Cao Jun kill Shouchun? Zhou

Yu sighed:"According to the younger generation's speculation, Cao's thieves must have attacked Longkang City, and General Qiao has probably met with something unexpected. Madam, please express your condolences!""

Ms. Xu felt dizzy as if she had received a blow to the head, and staggered back a few steps.

"Mother!"

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao rushed forward to help them.

"Mother, don't panic. There is no confirmed news yet. Father may be safe and sound."

"Yes, mother, even if Longkang is lost, something may not happen to my father.

Although her two sisters were also panic-stricken, they still managed to stay calm and comfort Mrs. Xu. Zhou Yu stepped forward and said,"

Anyway, Shouchun's fall is a foregone conclusion. Madam and two young ladies, please follow me out of the city quickly to avoid the enemy." Let’s go to Jiangdong."

He finally revealed the true intention of his trip.

When he and Sun Ce were both under Yuan Shu, they met Er Qiao by chance.

They admired Er Qiao's beauty and agreed to break up one day. Married Xiao Qiao.

Now that Shouchun City is in ruins, the first thing he needs to do is to get the Imperial Seal. The second thing, of course, is to pick up Xiao Qiao.

But Xu shook his head and said:"General Zhou's kindness has been accepted by me. But Shouchun is our home, and the master’s life or death is uncertain. We, mother and daughter, are not going anywhere. We have to wait for the master to come back."

"My mother was right. If my father came back and couldn't see us, wouldn't he be anxious?"

Xiao Qiao also orderedAttach.

Da Qiao then said to Zhou Yu:"General Zhou, my Qiao family has no close relationship with you. You don't have to worry about us. You should escape first."

Seeing that the mother and daughter refused to go with him, Zhou Yu's face gradually changed. For Sen Leng

"Bo Fu and I have an agreement. How can we let the two young ladies fall into the hands of Cao Cao?"

"Then forgive Zhou for being rude. Zhou

Yu was heartbroken, waved her hands and shouted:"Someone, take Mrs. Xu and the two young ladies away by force!""
