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

Xiapi City.

In the state capital, a celebration banquet is already being held.

Cao Yuan walked into the main hall and truthfully told Cao Cao everything that happened in the prison.

"Guan Yu actually assassinated you Ziyou?"

"Ziyou, are you injured anywhere?"

Cao Cao was shocked. He rushed down the steps and looked Cao Yuan up and down, fearing that something might happen to his son.

Cao Yuan smiled lightly:"Thank you Sikong for your concern. Yuan was unharmed."

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, but a look of disappointment and disgust appeared on his face.

"I didn't expect that Guan Yu would be so heartless. I kindly fulfilled his dying wish, but he dared to assassinate you Ziyou. It's really hateful!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, and his appreciation for Guan Yu was gone.

At this time,

Xia Houyuan said curiously:"Although Guan Yu was injured, after all, he was a trapped beast. You, Ziyou, were able to restrain him with your bare hands. And executed him with your own hands?"

Cao Cao also came to his senses and realized that something was unusual.

"Ziyou, could it be that in addition to your marksmanship, you also have hidden martial arts skills?"

Cao Cao looked at his son again, his eyes becoming more and more curious.

Cao Yuan coughed dryly and thought about how to deal with it.

He didn't want Cao Cao to know that he actually had the martial arts skills of Overlord Xiang Yu.

Being a counselor was already tiring and tiring enough. Okay, if Cao Cao drags him to the battlefield again and uses him as a military general, he will be exhausted to death.

"Sikong and Lu Bu's general Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are still in prison, and they refuse to surrender."

"Please tell me how to deal with it?"

Yu Jin stepped forward to report and relieved Cao Yuan.

Cao Cao frowned and said in a deep voice:"If these two people are stubborn, then kill them both."

Guan Yu and Cao Cao were even willing to kill him, let alone Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who had not yet become famous in the world.

"Sikong, these two are talented generals, it would be a pity to kill them!"

Cao Yuan immediately stopped him with words.

"General talent?"

Cao Cao looked back at him with half-belief and doubt in his eyes.

Zhang Liao, in the battle of Xiaoyaojin, eight hundred defeated one hundred thousand, and the first battle shocked the world.

From then on, Sun Zhongmou, the leader of Jiangdong, carried the reputation of Sun Shiwan.

If Zhang Liao was not a famous general , , there is no one in the world worthy of being called a famous general.

But of course he cannot use these things that have never happened to convince Cao Cao

"Zhang Liao is from the north and is proficient in cavalry warfare. Sikong is short of cavalry officers. This man will be of great use if he stays."

"As for Gao Shun, I heard that he once had a team under his command that was among the best in the world. He was also a capable general who could be reused."

"Instead of killing such a general, why not take him under his command and be used by Sikong."

Cao Yuan persuaded him like this.

"From what you said, Ziyou, it would be a pity to kill these two people. Cao

Cao nodded slightly, but said:"It's just that Liao and Gao Shun are determined to be buried with Lu Bu. How can I convince them to surrender to me?""

"There may be a way to surrender them."

A flash of confidence flashed across Cao Yuan's eyes.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he asked happily:"Ziyou, what means do you have to surrender those two stubborn people?"

"I can't say that I can surrender those two people, but there is one person who can say that I can surrender them."

"who?

Cao Yuan said calmly:"This person is Lu Bu's daughter.""

"Lu Bu's daughter?"

Cao Cao's expression was shocked and his eyes were blank and confused.

Cao Yuan told Cao Cao that Lu Lingqi was hit by an arrow and fell into the water and was washed up on the river beach, and how he saved her.

"This Lu Lingqi is the daughter of Lu Bu. Now she is willing to put aside her grudges and surrender to Sikong."

"If she were asked to persuade Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to surrender, they would surely surrender to Sikong!"

Cao Yuan took his time and explained his plan to persuade them to surrender.

Cao Cao suddenly realized it and smiled happily:"Okay, if this Lu Bu's daughter is willing to persuade the two generals to surrender, it would be the best!

Cao Yuan cupped his hands and said:"If this Lu Lingqi can persuade the second general to be demoted, it can be regarded as a meritorious service. Yuan also asks Sikong Neng to pardon her innocence and let her live.""

He thought that Lu Lingqi's status was special.

Sooner or later, Cao Cao would get wind of it and find out that he had taken in Lu Bu's daughter. Instead of doing this, it would be better to take this opportunity to report it to Cao Cao. She surrendered and asked Cao Cao to spare her death.

"Since she is willing to surrender and is willing to persuade her to surrender and perform meritorious service, I will forget about it!"

Cao Cao waved his hand magnanimously.

Cao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said with a smile:"Then Yuan will thank Sikong on her behalf, and I will arrange for her to persuade Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to surrender."

Cao Yuan resigned first and left.

"Unexpectedly, Lu Bu's daughter would be saved by Ziyou, but she was destined to have a great fate...."

Looking at Cao Yuan's back, Cao Cao sighed with emotion

"Meng De, that girl is Lu Bu's daughter after all. Even though she has done meritorious deeds and is willing to surrender, I still feel a little uneasy."

Xia Houyuan was worried.

Cao Cao was reminded, his sword eyebrows were slightly narrowed, and his eyes were a little worried.

At this time,

Guo Jia smiled and said:"Don't worry, Sikong, Jia has a way to ensure that Lu Bu's daughter is sincere. Surrendering and surrendering can also win over and appease Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other old Lu Bu generals."

"What can be done to show filial piety?"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously

"Since the military advisor Ziyou saved Lu Bu's daughter, Sikong might as well make the decision and let the military advisor take this girl as his concubine."

"As the saying goes, you must obey your husband when you marry her, and since Ziyou is an air force strategist, she will naturally have no other thoughts and will surrender and surrender in a down-to-earth manner."

"Ziyou's military advisor took Lü Bu's daughter as his concubine, which also showed that Sikong attached great importance to Lü Bu's old generals, which would surely make them surrender and be loyal to Sikong from now on."

Guo Jia offered a strategy with a smile.

Cao Cao suddenly understood and stroked his beard and said with a smile:"The strategy of being filial is indeed a clever plan that kills two birds with one stone. I will talk to Ziyou after Xuzhou is settled."

…

Qingzhou, Beihai, Gaomi City.

A banquet was also going on.

Yuan Tan, the eldest son of the Yuan family, is entertaining Liu Bei warmly.

Liu Bei was a prince, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, with a reputation for benevolence and righteousness all over the world, and he was Yuan Tan's leader.

Now that he has come to seek refuge in despair, it is a great opportunity to show that the Yuan family has returned to the world.

Yuan Tan knew the benefits well, so he naturally wanted to welcome Liu Bei's arrival with the most solemn courtesy.

"Mr. Xiansi, Xiapi City is in danger, we can only support it for ten days at most."

"Please also ask Mr. Xiansi to lead his army south immediately and go to Xiapi to rescue him.

Liu Bei, however, had no intention of wining and dining, and couldn't wait to express his intention to ask for help. Yuan Tan was confused:"

It's not that I don't want to send troops to rescue Xia Pi, but I haven't received the order from my father, so I can't use troops to attack Xuzhou without permission and start a war with Cao Cao.""

"It is known to everyone in the world that Duke Yuan has unified Hebei and has sent his troops south to fight Cao Cao."

"If the Cao thieves capture Xiapi, they will be able to completely eliminate the hidden dangers to the east and fight Duke Yuan with all their strength."

"If Duke Yuan were to learn that Master Xiansi was sitting back and watching Cao Cao invade Xuzhou, wouldn't he blame Master Xiansi for not having his own opinion and missing a good opportunity? Liu

Bei patiently analyzed the pros and cons for Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan was shocked.

"Liu Xuande is right. If I really sit back and watch Cao Cao annex Xuzhou and do nothing, my father will definitely be extremely disappointed in me."

"My father originally liked his third brother more than me. In this case, in my father's eyes, I would be even worse than my third brother! Yuan

Tan changed his mind and weighed it secretly.

After a while,

Yuan Tan said happily:"Since Xuande has spoken openly, how can I sit idly by and ignore it? Don't worry, after we drink this glass of wine, I will immediately light up the army and march south!" Liu

Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and complimented him quickly:"The eldest son has extraordinary military skills. If he leads the elite soldiers of the Yuan family to the south, he will definitely be able to cooperate with the inside and outside to defeat Cao's thieves in Xiapi City. When he comes, Mr. Yuan will definitely look at the eldest son with admiration.""

This flattery touched Yuan Tan's heart, and he couldn't help but laugh and raise his glass high.

Liu Bei also laughed with him and raised his glass in toast.

At this moment, General Ju Yi hurried in

"Reporting to the eldest son, an urgent report came back from Xuzhou. Cao Cao had captured Xiapi two days ago, Chen Gong was beheaded by him in public display, and Guan Yu was also executed by his military advisor Cao Yuan himself!"

Liu Bei swayed and his wine glass fell to the ground.
