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

Xudu, Sikong Mansion.

Cao Ren's report and Cao Yuan's letters have been delivered one after another.

Everyone in the city knew that the best counselor in the world had slaughtered the Sima family in Hanoi overnight, and everyone was shocked.

"Sima Fang was a veteran of the two dynasties and had high morals and prestige. Military Advisor Cao actually slaughtered his entire family. It was really a cruel method!"

"Even if Cao Yuan has merit, I think Sikong cannot condone him!"

Taiwei Yang Biao angrily said

"Yes, Sima Fang was still the leader of Sikong, but he wiped out his entire clan for Sikong's adviser. How would the people in the world talk about Sikong?"

"Even if Cao Yuan has meritorious service, he must be severely punished according to the national law!"

"This matter must not be left undisturbed, and Sikong is asked to uphold justice for the Sima clan!"

The celebrities and ministers present were all indignant and participated in Cao Yuan's performance one after another.

"Sikong, we are now at a critical moment in the decisive battle with Yuan Shao. Many families in Yanzhou have responded to Yuan Shao's request."

"Now that the Sima family is being slaughtered, if it cannot be handled properly, it will probably arouse the public outrage of the various states and clans and affect the overall situation of the decisive battle between Yuan and Cao."

"Yu believes that Sikong needs to be handled with caution."

Although Xun Yu didn't say it clearly, the implication was that he also criticized Cao Yuan's actions.

"boom!"

Cao Cao slapped Cao Ren's report in front of everyone.

Yang Biao and others were shocked and immediately became silent.

"You only know that Ziyou massacred the Sima family, but do you know why he did that?"

Cao Cao stared at everyone.

Yang Biao and others looked at each other with blank faces.

Cao Cao said solemnly:"Sima Yi, a thief, actually hired the assassin Shi A to assassinate Ziyou in Luoyang!"

Everyone was in an uproar.

Only then did they know Cao Yuan's motive for killing the Sima family.

"This is so good, why did Sima Yi want to murder Military Advisor Cao?"

Yang Biao looked in disbelief.

Before Cao Cao could speak,

Xia Houyuan snorted:"Everyone knows that Ziyou is the mastermind of our camp. He is the key to whether we can defeat Yuan Shao in the battle between Yuan and Cao. Sima Yi He must have secretly taken refuge with Yuan Shao, so he wanted to murder Ziyou and seek credit from Yuan Shao!"

Yang Biao looked shocked and was speechless when asked.

The indignation of all the celebrities and ministers was suppressed. It is a fact of the matter that Yuan is strong and Cao is weak.

In this current situation, many noble families in Cao Tong District, They have all secretly expressed their favor to Yuan Shao.

Even among them, there are many people who are secretly communicating with Yuan Shao.

The Sima family is a prominent family in Hanoi, and Hanoi is adjacent to Jizhou. It is not surprising that the Sima family turns to Yuan Shao.

"Even so, Cao Yuan should report it to Sikong and ask him to deal with it. How can he make arbitrary decisions?"

"Moreover, even if he wanted to take revenge, just killing Sima Yi alone and massacring the entire Sima clan in one go seemed a bit excessive. Kong

Rong muttered, still criticizing Cao Yuan.

"This child is decisive in killing and more ruthless than me. He deserves to be my son!"

"But killing the entire Sima clan is indeed a bit much....."

Cao Cao twirled his thin beard and remained silent for a while.

When Kong Rong and other celebrities saw that Cao Cao did not comment, they immediately found a breakthrough. They all accused Cao Yuan of excessive means and should not have destroyed the entire Sima clan.

The more Cao Cao listened, the more upset he became. Suddenly he slapped the case a few times.

"enough!"

"So what if Ziyou wiped out the Sima clan!"

"He is related to the life and death of our Cao family, to who will win in the decisive battle between the north and the south, and to determine the pattern of the world!"

"If Sima Yi dares to plot to kill him, his whole family should be wiped out!"

"If Ziyou tells me what to do, I will not only destroy the Sima clan, but I will also destroy the other three clans!"

Cao Cao's voice was solemn, and he was unquestionably domineering. He was determined to protect his son, and could not tolerate celebrities like Kong Rong continuing to question his son.

Kong Rong and others looked stern, and they all changed colors.

Cao Cao's ring Sweeping everyone away, he said sternly:"This matter is over now. Anyone who dares to slander Ziyou again is an open enemy of me, Cao Cao. Don't blame me for being unkind!""

Yang Biao, Kong Rong and others were finally shocked. They were all frightened and no one dared to say a word anymore.

"This matter ends here, there is no need to discuss it further, let’s let it go."

Cao Cao sat down and waved his hands coldly.

Everyone hurriedly left.

Just when Guo Jia was about to leave, Cao Cao kept him.

"Fengxiao, in your opinion, why did Sima Yi assassinate Ziyou?"

Cao Cao raised his hand slightly and motioned Guo Jia to sit down.

Guo Jia said:"Didn't General Miaocai just say it? Sima Yi must have secretly communicated with Yuan Shao and wanted to murder Military Advisor Ziyou so that he could claim credit from Yuan Shao."

"Fengxiao really realized that Sima Yi did this just to claim credit from Yuan Shao?"

There is something in Cao Cao's words.

"This is it...."

Guo Jia started to speak but stopped, obviously having difficulty speaking.

Cao Cao waved his hands and said,"You and I, the emperor and our ministers, are all sincere to each other. I want to listen to what you have to say." Guo Jia hesitated for a moment and said,"Jia heard that Sima Yi had a close relationship with Prince Huan since he came to Xudu. It was rumored that he had a close relationship with Master Zihuan. He also traveled all the way to Xiaopei to visit Ziyou's military advisor. It is said that he wanted to win over Ziyou's military advisor for Prince Huan, but was rejected by Ziyou's military advisor......"

Guo Jia stopped talking and didn't dare to say any more.

The implication is clear.

Sima Yi's assassination of Cao Yuan was probably closely related to Cao Pi.

The so-called asking for credit from Yuan Shao is just an appearance.

"This bastard!"

"Knowing that Ziyou is my right-hand man and the outcome of this decisive battle, he completely ignores the overall situation and wants to destroy my Great Wall just for his own selfishness!"

"Stupid, selfish, shameless!"

"How could I, Cao Cao, have such a son!"

The more he cursed, the angrier he became. Suddenly he grabbed his sword and jumped up.

Guo Jia was startled and hurriedly stopped him.

"Sikong, please calm down. This matter is baseless and just speculation."

"Moreover, the decisive battle is imminent. At this time, civil strife must not arise, otherwise the morale of the military will be shaken."

Guo Jia had no choice but to persuade Cao Cao to calm down and put the overall situation first.

Cao Cao's anger was half extinguished by Guo Jia, and he immediately calmed down.

If there is no evidence, Cao Pi will definitely deny it. Is it possible to torture him?"

After all, it is your own flesh and blood.

What's more, Guo Jia also reminded you rightly that the most important thing now is to stabilize people's hearts and put the overall situation first

"I know what's appropriate, don't worry about Fengxiao."

Cao Cao sighed softly, put down his sword, waved his hands and said:"Quickly tell Cao Pi, come and see me. Guo

Jia then breathed a sigh of relief and resigned in a sensible manner.

Not long after,

Cao Pixin walked into the hall, cupped his hands and said with a smile,"I wonder what I have to tell you when my father has called me here?""

Looking at his expression, it's obvious that he hasn't learned yet about Cao Yuan's massacre of the Sima family.

"come here!"

Cao Cao waved to him.

Cao Pi thought that Cao Cao wanted to get close to him and wanted him to come near and talk, so he happily got up and walked up the stairs.

"father——"

He was about to speak.

Cao Cao raised his hand and slapped him in the face.

Cao Pi screamed"Ouch" and was slapped to the ground and rolled down the steps.

He climbed up, covered his swollen face, and asked in fear and grievance:"Why did my father beat me for no reason?"
