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

Cao Yuang almost choked on the wine he just put in his mouth.

Did you hear that right? Boss Cao actually wants to replace Zhen Mi with Yuan Xi?

In exchange for this Zhen Mi, do you want to give it to yourself as a concubine?

Good guy, Lao Cao, are you addicted to being a matchmaker?

Cao Yuan looked at Cao Cao in surprise.

Cao Cao looked at Zhen Yao with a stunned expression.

The eldest son of the Zhen family never expected that Cao Cao would offer such conditions.

He doesn’t want three billion dollars, he just wants his little sister Zhen Mi.

Or marry Cao Yuan, Yuan Shao's mortal enemy, as my concubine!

"Cao Sikong is really good at joking. My younger sister is already engaged to Mr. Yuan Er. How can she be the concubine of Cao's military advisor again?"

Zhen Yao came back to his senses and tried his best to control his inner anger.

Cao Cao said coldly:"You go back and tell Yuan Shao that if you want to exchange for his son, you can only exchange it for Zhen Mi, otherwise you will have to wait for his son's head. Bar"

"Cao Sikong——"

Zhen Yao was still waiting to argue, but Cao Cao no longer bothered to talk nonsense with him and waved his hand impatiently.

Dian Wei refused to argue, so he drove Zhen Yao out of the tent.

At this time.

Cao Yuancai smiled bitterly and said:"Yuan knew that Sikong wanted to prevent Yuan Zhen's family from marrying, but why did Sikong Fei give Yuan Zhen Mi as his concubine?"

"I heard that Zhen Mi is the most beautiful woman in Jizhou. Are you still not satisfied with Ziyou as your concubine?"

Cao Cao asked with a smile.

Cao Yuan was startled and didn't know how to answer.

Zhen Mi, the Goddess of Luo in Cao Zhi's poem, has stunning beauty.

If such a beautiful woman says she doesn't want to, it would be really hypocritical.

If you want , Say yes, it seems like you are using the public for personal gain.

"Yuan'er, as a father, I am cultivating power for you and preparing to win over the scholars in Hebei. Sooner or later, you will understand the painstaking efforts of being a father....."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and sighed secretly in his heart.

At this moment, Cao Cao, assisted by Cao Yuan, was confident that he would be able to defeat Yuan Shao and level the four states in Hebei.

After conquering the four states, what we have to face is to appease and win over the people.

Cao Yuan is his son, and his life experience will be announced sooner or later.

What else can win people's hearts more than marrying his son to a prominent local family.

What's more, Cao Yuan can also take this opportunity to get the support of powerful families in the four states, so as to cultivate and strengthen his own team.

The more people support Cao Yuan, the less resistance he will have to announcing Cao Yuan's life experience and establishing him as the heir of the Cao family in the future.

Cao Yuan didn't know his own life experience, so naturally he could only see the first level of Cao Cao's intentions, but he couldn't guess the other hidden intentions.

"Ziyou, your hard work has yielded great results. It is not an exaggeration for me to give you the most beautiful woman in Jizhou as a reward."

Cao Cao couldn't say it clearly, so he had to give a high-sounding reason.

"Ziyou, this is Meng De's favor to you, so don't push back."

Xia Houyuan didn't know the truth, but he still went along with it.

Cao Yuan sighed secretly.

The lord giving concubines to his ministers is indeed a kind of favor from the lord. If the ministers can't appreciate it, they don't understand the way of being a minister.

What's more , , as a man, he has no reason to refuse, hypocrisy is not his style

"Since it was Sikong's heart, Na Yuan had no choice but to be respectful rather than obey and thank Sikong."

Cao Yuan had no choice but to stand up and bow.

"This is right. Cao

Cao was just satisfied and sneered:"Next, we have to see whether Yuan Benchu ​​wants his son or Zhen's loyalty to him.""

Cao Cao's sarcastic laughter echoed in the big tent.

…

North of Guandu, Yuan camp.

Inside the Chinese army's tent.

Yuan Shao was staring at the Guandu sand table in front of him, listening to the counselors planning how to attack Cao Ying.

On the surface he was listening, but actually he was lost in thought

"Zhen Yi is willing to spend three billion dollars, which is enough to feed his 100,000-strong army. Cao Ah Man should release me, Xi'er, right?...."

Yuan Shao thought secretly in his heart.

Although he hated Yuan Xi for being captured, he was his own son after all.

His three legitimate sons, Yuan Tan, have been killed. If Yuan Xi has another shortcoming, Yuan Shang will be the only one left.

As a father, even if Yuan Xi failed to live up to his expectations, Yuan Shao could not bear his death.

"Report to the lord, Zhen Yao has returned and is waiting to meet you outside the tent."

The personal guards entered the account to report.

Yuan Shao perked up and waved his hand anxiously:"Quickly pass!"

After a while, Zhen Yao walked into the tent with a sad face.

"Dear nephew, what is the result of your trip? Is Cao the traitor willing to exchange for Xi'er?"

Yuan Shao couldn't wait for him to greet him and asked impatiently.

Zhen Yao hesitated to speak and looked embarrassed. He didn't know how to speak.

Could it be that he told Yuan Shao truthfully that Cao Cao's condition for his release was to exchange for his little sister Zhen Mi? Return to Yuan Xi?

What if Yuan Shao agrees?

Not only did the dream of a marriage between the Zhen family and the Yuan family come to nothing, but they also married Cao Cao's mastermind.

As a result, wouldn't the situation of the Zhen family in Jizhou become extremely extreme? Embarrassing, how can I gain Yuan Shao’s trust?

"Is Cao A secretly willing to change? Why is he hesitant?"

Yuan Shao's face darkened and he shouted in displeasure.

Zhen Yao's figure was shaken, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Forget it, this matter must not be hidden from Mr. Yuan. Even if I don't tell him, he will find out sooner or later, and he will blame me."

"My Zhen family has given great support to Mr. Yuan over the years. Mr. Yuan cares about our contribution and will definitely not sacrifice his little sister in exchange for the second son."

Zhen Yao weighed it in his mind and gave up the idea of ​​concealing it.

Taking a deep breath, he sighed:"Cao Cao refused to exchange three billion yuan for the second son, but he made another condition."

"What conditions did he impose?"

Yuan Shao couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw that there was hope.

After Zhen Yao hesitated again and again, he had to say silently:"Cao Cao said that he wanted my Zhen family to give my little sister to his military advisor Cao Yuan as a concubine before he would give her back. Second Young Master!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the tent.

Yuan Shao was also shocked and his face was stunned. He did not expect that Cao Cao would offer such conditions.

"My lord, the second young master has a marriage contract with the daughter of the Zhen family. If he agrees to Cao Cao's conditions, won't he make the world laugh at my lord?"

"This is Cao Cao's trick. He deliberately wants to humiliate his lord. You must not fall into the trap!"

Ju Shou immediately stood up to object.

Tian Feng also reminded:"The Zhen family has contributed to the lord. If you sacrifice the Zhen family's daughter in exchange for the second son, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the meritorious officials and lose the integrity of the lord? Please think again, lord.."

Seeing Ju Shou Tian Feng's persuasion, Zhen Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, the second young master is my lord’s bloodline. The current eldest son of the Yuan family is worth saving at all costs!"

Xu You sang the opposite tune.

Feng Ji also urged:"My lord has lost the eldest son. No matter what, we can't lose the second son again."

"As long as I can get the second son back, everyone in the world will only admire and praise the lord as a loving father who loves his son very much. How can they laugh at the lord!"

Guo Tu was also busy building a ladder for Yuan Shao.

Of course they, the Ruying scholars, wanted to save Yuan Xi at all costs.

Zhen Yao became more and more panicked as he listened, and looked at Yuan Shao uneasily.

Yuan Shao frowned deeply. Suo, silent in silence, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

After a long time,

Yuan Shao sighed and said helplessly:"I have lost Tan'er, and I can't lose Xi'er anymore. Zhen Yao, for this plan, I can only aggrieve my sister. , go and exchange for Xi'er, I will never forget the contribution of your Zhen family!"

Hearing this, Zhen Yao was shocked.
