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

After the plan was finalized, Gao Shun resigned and immediately went to form a trap camp.

Cao Yuan thought that the performance was completed, so he stood up and left.

But Cao Cao left him alone and said with a smile:"Ziyou, you have done a good job in recommending Gao Shun, and I have to reward you." Cao Yuan saw Boss Cao smiling with evil intentions, and felt a little angry in his heart, so he immediately made a humble speech.

"I, Cao Cao, will be rewarded for my merits and punished for my mistakes. You must accept this reward! But Cao

Cao insisted on rewarding me.

Cao Yuan had no choice but to say:"Yuan is respectful, it is better to obey my orders, but I don't know what Sikong wants to reward me.""

"Reward you with a marriage."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and pondered with a smile.

"Marriage?"

Cao Yuan was a little confused.

Cao Cao said:"You have a good relationship with Lu Bu's daughter, so I will give her to you as your concubine. After the class teacher Xu Du, you will take her in immediately."

Cao Yuan was stunned.

What's going on?

Is Lao Cao having enough to eat and nothing to do, so he became a matchmaker again?

"Sikong Yuanyuan did save Lu Lingqi, but he didn't have to take her as his concubine."

Cao Yuan became embarrassed.

Cao Cao asked with a straight face:"Let me ask you, is Lu Bu's daughter not beautiful?"

"That's not true, she is quite pretty. Cao

Cao asked again:"That is my niece Juan'er. She is a jealous woman. You are not allowed to take a concubine?" Cao

Yuan hurriedly shook his head:"That's not true. Juan'er is very knowledgeable and is a truly good wife.""

"That’s it!"

Cao Cao slapped the case and said,"She is a beauty, and Juan'er doesn't forbid you from taking a concubine, so what is there for you to be embarrassed about? Just take her as a concubine."

"Sikong, this matter..."

"This matter is settled! Cao

Cao waved his hand and said without question:"As the lord, I order you to take Lu Bu's daughter as your concubine, and you must not refuse.""

Cao Yuan was helpless.

This lord, Lao Cao, was the first in the world to actively force his subordinates to take concubines.

This must be too lenient.

Cao Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and had to hold his hands and said:"Sikong has your destiny, how dare you disobey her? After returning to Xudu, I will accept her."

Cao Cao was then satisfied.

"Brat, you took Lu Bu's daughter as your concubine. Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other Lu Bu's old men will be under your sect."

"As a father, I am helping you cultivate your power. I have worked so hard, but you still don’t appreciate it...."

Looking at Cao Yuan who looked helpless, Cao Cao secretly complained in his heart

…

Five days later.

North of Xiapi City.

Forty thousand Yuan troops, like a torrent, rolled towards Xiapi City.

Xiapi North Gate, the city gate is wide open.

Forty thousand soldiers of Cao's army filed out of the city, lined up behind the city, and were ready.

At noon, bright clouds cover the sky.

The two armies of Yuan and Cao were more than two hundred steps apart and faced each other for several miles.

Yuan Jun.

Under the banner of the Chinese Army.

Yuan Tan, dressed in golden armor, stood proudly with his sword in hand, exuding an innate pride all over his body.

Cao Cao's exhausted army did not stand firm without fighting, but instead came out of the city to attack, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.

However, this also played into his heart.

As long as Cao Cao can be defeated, he can seize Xiapi in one fell swoop and take advantage of the situation to capture the entire Xuzhou.

Before Yuan Cao's decisive battle between north and south, if he could accomplish such extraordinary feats, his reputation would skyrocket.

His father Yuan Shao's view of him will also change greatly.

Ten thousand steps back, even if Yuan Shao favors Yuan Shang, he will still have to worry about his unparalleled achievements and have to hand over the Yuan family's throne to him

"Yuan Shang, after this battle, I see what qualifications you still have to compete with me for the throne!"

The more Yuan Tan thought about it, the more proud he became, with a sarcastic sneer flashing in his eyes.

"Mr. Xiansi, then Cao Cao must be arrogant and arrogant, and he does not take the young master and Xian Dengying seriously."

"This is a God-given opportunity for the young master to defeat Cao's thieves in one fell swoop. What are you waiting for!"

Liu Bei's murderous intent was raging and he couldn't wait to urge him.

Of course Yuan Tan knew that Liu Bei was eager to use his hand to avenge his two sworn brothers and take back Xuzhou.

However, now they have common interests. You might as well lend this knife to Liu Bei for use.

"Ju Yi obeys the order!"

Yuan Tan drew his sword out of its sheath and said sternly:"Climb the camp first and open the way. The whole army will press forward and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

The flag of the Chinese army waved.

In the front.

Ju Yi received the order and gave the order. Three thousand people ascended the camp first, held their heavy shields high, formed a dense shield formation, and advanced suddenly. The camp was first ascended, and the main force of more than 30,000 Yuan troops was in front. After that, more than a hundred troops began to approach Cao Jun.

Cao Jun was in the middle.

Looking at Yuan Jun who couldn't wait to attack, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Cao Cao's face.

"Yuan Tan, you really relied on being the first to reach the camp, and you can't wait to make great achievements."

"You would never have dreamed that my son would recommend Gao Shun, and I would have prepared a nemesis for you!"

Cao Cao put away his sneer, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.

He pointed his riding whip and shouted:"Beat the drum, order Gao Shun to lead the trapped troops to fight, and get to the camp first!"

Boom, boom, boom!

In the Cao army's formation, the rumble of war drums rose to the sky. The front army opened up like waves.

Gao Shun gave an order, and eight hundred trapped soldiers, holding a shield in one hand and a halberd in the other, rolled out.

In the blink of an eye, the trapped camp had rushed a hundred steps away.

Ju Yi raised his long sword, and the three thousand crossbowmen who climbed up first immediately raised their heavy crossbows high, preparing to shoot the oncoming Cao army.

He thought that what was rushing up was just Ordinary Cao Jun just came to die.

Unexpectedly, the eight hundred trapped soldiers suddenly stopped when they were close to the range of the crossbows.

Gao Shun shouted:"Trapped in the camp, form a turtle-back formation!""

The eight hundred trapped soldiers quickly gathered together and approached each other. They raised their heavy shields high in their hands to protect them from all directions.

In an instant, a military formation shaped like a tortoise shell was formed.

"Turtle Back Formation, enter!"

Gao Shun in the formation shouted loudly.

The trapped formation was like a huge turtle shell, taking a step out with a bang.

The eight hundred trapped warriors, in unison, stepped out like the sky was falling.

Looking at this formation, Cao Cao couldn't help but click his tongue. He praised:"In just five days, eight hundred people can be trained as if they have arms. This Gao Shun is indeed a good soldier. Fortunately, Ziyou dissuaded me, otherwise I would have killed a good general by mistake that day!""

Yuan Jun's formation.

Yuan Tan looked at the"turtle shell" suddenly released by Cao Jun, and a look of surprise flashed across his proud face.

"Xuande, what kind of tactics is Cao Jun doing?"

He looked at Liu Bei suspiciously.

Liu Bei was also confused and shook his head and said:"Bei has fought against Cao Cao's thieves several times, but he has never seen such a strange troop in his army?"

Yuan Tan and Liu Bei, two generals with mediocre talents, naturally could not see the mystery of the turtle-back formation.

But a look of surprise flashed across Ju Yi's face.

He was well-informed and could tell instantly that it was Gao Shun. trapped camp

"No, it turns out that Gao Shun actually surrendered Cao Cao and rebuilt the trapped camp!"

"I am no match for him if I enter the camp first. If I let him attack me, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"This battle is not going well, we have to withdraw!"

Ju Yi's confidence dropped. He immediately issued a signal and asked Yuan Tan of the Chinese army to retreat.

Yuan Tan frowned:"The battle between the two armies is about to begin. Why did Ju Yi suddenly ask for retreat?"

Liu Bei urged:"Master Xiansi, it is a taboo in the art of war for the two armies to retreat immediately before the battle. If Cao Jun takes advantage of the situation to cover up the attack, our 40,000-strong army will be in danger of being completely disintegrated! Yuan

Tan's expression suddenly changed, and he said sternly:"Tell Ju Yi not to retreat and attack the enemy!""

The flag swayed like the wind.

Ju Yi stumbled and cursed:"Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan, you are mediocre and incompetent. You don't know how powerful the camp is. You want to kill me and the 40,000 soldiers who first climbed into the camp!"

The military orders were like mountains.

Although Ju Yi was dissatisfied, he did not dare to disobey the orders. He could only bite the bullet and urge the first to climb the camp and continue to move forward.

The two armies were eighty steps apart.

Gao Shun waved his sword and shouted:"Fall into the camp. Speed ​​up and post it!"

The trapped warriors roared in unison, activating the Turtle Back Formation and crashing towards the first camp.
