Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 315 Defrauding 500

"Great, Cao Cao is having a hard time this time."

Kuai Ma sent the information, and Chen Gong had already acted on the information.

But things came suddenly, Cao Cao and the others were unprepared, so Kuai Ma had to set off a few hours late.

It was these few hours that made Cao Cao unable to receive information for a long time.

"Send someone to send a letter to Liu Bei. If he is willing to pay 500 million yuan, I will ask Cao Cao to withdraw his troops within three days. He must reply to the letter within today. If he does not reply, I will make trouble for him."

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he said, "Brother, you are trying to deceive Liu Bei."

Zhang Fei doesn't know too many tricks, he just likes to go straight.

"Hahaha."

Zhang Ming laughed out loud and said, "Not only do we want to deceive Liu Bei, but we also want to rob Cao Cao."

Now, Zhang Ming holds the information.

He immediately asked Liu Bei to deliver the letter, and asked Liu Bei to reply within eight hours, and asked him to prepare money. Once Cao Cao retreated, he would send the money out of the city.

Zhang Ming sent a lot of special forces to intercept and kill the scouts coming and going, but Cao Cao's scouts couldn't get through, so they had to take a detour and take more than three days to arrive.

The soldiers quickly went to deliver the letter.

In the city, Liu Bei was shocked when he received the letter.

He called everyone.

"Zhang Ming wants to help me retreat, and the condition is 500 million yuan. What do you think?"

"Five million, that's too much." General Cao Bao said.

Mi Zhu also said: "After paying the 500 million, we won't have much money left."

After the war, it must be restored, and it cannot be done without money.

Everyone was reluctant, this is not 50, but 500 million.

But Chen Gui said: "If you can reduce the loss of some people, the 500 million is worth it."

Everyone nodded, that's true, but it's hard to say if there is any conspiracy to give Zhang Ming money for nothing.

It is difficult for everyone to decide.

Liu Bei was inclined to give money.

Bankruptcy avoids disaster, not to mention that Cao Cao retreated first.

But they were also afraid that Cao Cao was pretending to retreat, but in fact he was trying to seize the city.

If the two cooperate, it is really difficult to make a decision to plot against Liu Bei.

At this time, Chen Deng came out and said, "Mr. Liu, you should promise Zhang Ming."

I promise, many people have thought about it, but I can't guarantee whether it is a conspiracy, and I need a reason to convince everyone.

Chen Deng said: "Mr. Liu, if it is a conspiracy, we can use the plan. If it is not a conspiracy, Cao Jun will retreat as soon as possible, and we can restore peace in Xuzhou as soon as possible."

"Okay, that's it."

Liu Bei felt that this reason was enough to convince everyone, so he could make a decision.

After the decision, Liu Bei's operation was fast, and he wrote back immediately to inform Zhang Ming and agree with his plan.

A few hours later, Zhang Ming received the news, because it was difficult to operate because Cao Jun was separated.

"Hahaha, 500 million is here."

Zhang Ming looked at the reply letter and was very happy.

He immediately ordered: "Hurry up and tell Gongming that Cao Jun's scouts will be released at noon tomorrow."

Everything is arranged.

"Leave 1000 people, ready to receive Liu Bei's money, and run away immediately after getting the money."

This is a scam. If Liu Bei knew that it was because Yanzhou was attacked by Lu Bu, he would definitely jump up.

After receiving the money, leave immediately.

After giving the order, Zhang Ming left with the army, and he was going to join Xu Huang.

Zhang Ming ran ahead, heading towards Yanzhou.

Cao Cao didn't know what Zhang Ming was going to do, so he sent Cao Ren to follow him.

After running for a long time, when it was getting dark, Zhang Ming and the others were still more than ten miles away from the first pass.

Zhang Ming and the others camped here.

After setting up the camp, Zhang Ming asked Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to stay in the camp, and he took a few people to find Xu Huang.

"Gongming, are you ready?"

"My lord, according to your order, everything has been laid in ambush."

Zhang Ming was not particularly relieved, so he went to check it out.

"My lord, we felled a large number of logs and rolled them down from a height, enough to block half of this pass."

Zhang Ming nodded, and then said, "I hope it won't be needed."

He said so, but he was sure that it would be useful, so he prepared the second pass.

After checking it again, it was already midnight, Zhang Ming rested for half the night, and then got up.

When he woke up the next day, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were still in the barracks, and Cao Ren was several miles away.

According to Zhang Ming's order, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun left the camp very late.

By the time we reached the pass, it was almost noon.

"Seal the pass."

"Gongming, let people let the scouts pass, and the scouts can detour for up to two hours."

Zhang Ming and the others blocked the pass, and then Zhang Ming ordered the soldiers to cut down some trees.

At this time they are public operations.

Cao Ren soon received the news that Zhang Ming and the others had sealed off this place, and this was their way back.

If you make a detour, it will take at least one and a half more days.

Cao Ren immediately sent someone back to report to Cao Cao, but he didn't know what Zhang Ming wanted to do.

After waiting there for about two hours, a scout finally passed through and saw Cao Ren's army.

"General, we really came from Yanzhou. Chen Gong rebelled and led Lu Bu into Yanzhou. Now he has controlled many cities in Yanzhou."

Cao Ren was shocked. If this is the case, it would be terrible.

"Do you have proof?"

"I have a letter written by the eldest son himself."

Cao Ren saw that it was indeed written by Cao Ang, and the seal was correct.

"Why was it sent at this time?"

A long time has passed by now, and according to the plan, it should have been delivered long ago.

"General, we sent more than 20 teams, and we sent ten teams on this road. It's just that we saw people intercepting and killing people along the road, and an army was ambushed at the pass ahead. We came here after a long detour."

Cao Ren believed it. This Zhang Ming must have known the news a long time ago, so he set up an ambush here at this time.

"Quickly report to the lord."

Some scouts rushed back immediately, and it would take half a day for him to go back.

When the scouts rushed back, Cao Cao received them.

At that time, Cao Cao almost fainted, but Guo Jia kept him from falling down.

"Feng Xiao, is this the sky that wants to kill me?"

Guo Jia said: "My lord, if we rush back, we still have a chance. This Lu Bu is a foreigner after all, and he doesn't have much foundation. We can win."

Cao Cao sighed, this matter is too big.

"Order to withdraw troops, but Cao Ren said that Zhang Ming blocked our way, he should have received the news long ago."

Cao Cao is now facing a very complicated situation.

It was already night when Cao Cao stopped attacking, which was normal.

Then ordered the soldiers to start pulling out the camp.

This matter was naturally carried out in secret, and Liu Bei dared not let Liu Bei know, otherwise, if he came out, it would be even more troublesome.

After packing up for three hours, leaving the camp empty, Cao Cao didn't dare to stay, so he left immediately.

After dawn, Cao Cao rushed to Cao Renna, and the two armies joined forces, but Zhang Ming blocked the way forward.

Outside Xiapi City, Liu Bei and the others discovered Cao Cao's retreat.
