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

Zhen Yao was stunned.

He thought his ears had misheard.

Yuan Shao actually wanted to use his little sister in exchange for Cao Cao to release Yuan Xi!

This means that his Zhen family was sacrificed.

The lord in front of him completely ignored the Zhen family’s support of hundreds of millions of dollars over the years!

Zhen Yao looked at Yuan Shao in shock, with disbelief on his face and a chill in his heart.

"Dear nephew, I have no choice but to ask you and your father to understand."

"Don't worry, even if our two families can't get married, I will keep this sacrifice of your Zhen family in mind."

"In the realm of my Yuan family, your Zhen family will definitely have a place."

Yuan Shao saw Zhen Yao's concerns and wanted to give him some reassurance.

Zhen Yao was not a three-year-old child, so how could he easily believe that Yuan Shao's promise to him was based on nothing?

"My lord, it’s not that my Zhen family is unwilling to sacrifice my younger sister, but my younger sister is already engaged to the second young master, so how can I become Cao Yuan’s concubine again? If this spreads out, won’t both Mr. Yuan and my Zhen family become The laughingstock of the world!"

Zhen Yao couldn't refuse openly, so he had to express his objection tactfully.

Yuan Shao's face suddenly darkened.

He knew that Zhen Yao was unwilling and wanted to use the opinions of the people in the world to force him to take back his life.

"The lord who kills the traitor Cao is the lord of the world. All the lord and his subjects in the world are the lord!"

"I would like to ask all the subjects in the world, who dares to speak arbitrarily about the Lord again!"

"Mr. Zhen, for the sake of my lord's world hegemony, you should stop worrying about the damage to your reputation at that moment. You should look further ahead."

Feng Ji's words refuted Zhen Yao until he was speechless.

"Having said that, this matter is of great importance and I can't make the decision. I'm afraid I have to go back to Yecheng to discuss it with my father."

Zhen Yao couldn't argue with the rules, so he had to switch to delaying tactics.

Xu You said sternly:"The second young master is trapped in Cao's camp. Every day of delay, the second young master is at risk of being harmed by Cao's thieves. It will be a long night and many dreams. We must Replace the second young master immediately!"

Zhen Yao squeaked, but he still refused to agree honestly.

Yuan Shao, who had been silent, saw that Zhen Yao was unwilling to sacrifice for him, and his face became more and more gloomy.

"boom! He suddenly slapped the case and said in a deep voice:"This matter has been settled. As the time comes, you will immediately go back to Yecheng with nephew Zhen Xian, and bring the niece of Zhen family to Guandu on a starry night journey. In ten days, You must change it back to my Xi'er!"

"promise!"

Feng Ji happily accepted the order.

Zhen Yao felt a sense of grievance and sadness in his heart.

Yuan Shao was eager to save his son, and did not care about the feelings of his Zhen family at all. He almost broke his face and issued the order with the authority of his lord.

"Lord!"

Zhen Yao wanted to say more. But

Yuan Shao had turned away, disdain to look at him, and no longer gave him a chance to plead.

Zhen Yao let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was already ten days later.

During these ten days, Yuan Shao surrendered and did not launch an offensive against the Guandu fortress.

Cao Cao took this opportunity to strengthen the fortress, build arrow towers, install antlers, and dig trenches.

Within ten days, Guandu had been built into a copper and iron wall.

Ten days later, Yuan Shao's envoy came and said that Zhen Mi had been brought to Guandu, and they agreed to replace her in front of the two military camps tomorrow.

"It has to be said that Yuan Benchu ​​is indeed a good father. For the sake of his son, he would not hesitate to sacrifice the money tree of the Zhen family."

Cao Cao sighed with emotion, with a bit of admiration between his brows.

"Now that Yuan Shao has unified the four states, the support of the Zhen family has long been insignificant to him."

"I wonder if he had just acquired Jizhou back then, would he still have sacrificed the Zhen family as his financial backer for the sake of his son?"

Cao Yuan dismissed Yuan Shao's thoughts and exposed his thoughts.

Cao Cao looked shocked and suddenly realized.

Yuan Shao, this is just burning the bridge across the river.

Cao Cao smiled and sighed:"No matter what, the most beautiful woman in Jizhou will soon become his wife. If you find your concubine, you can change her back yourself."

Cao Yuan took the order.

The next day, at noon, the agreed replacement time had arrived.

Cao Yuan's Guandu barrier gate opened.

Cao Yuan wore armor and held his sword, with Xu Chu and Dian Wei protecting him on the left and right, escorting the disgraced Yuan Xi, slowly Slowly walked out of the camp.

The group stopped in front of the two camps.

Inside Yuan Camp.

Yuan Shao had climbed up to the watchtower, eagerly looking forward to the return of his son.

"Lord, that boy is Cao Yuan!"

Guo Tu's eyes were filled with fire, and he pointed forward and shouted.

Yuan Shao's expression was shocked, and he looked carefully. Finally, for the first time, he saw Cao Yuan's true face clearly.

In an instant, Yuan Shao clenched his fists, and his eyes were bloodshot.

That's it. That man was so wise that he defeated his two sons twice.

It was that man who encouraged Cao Cao to kill his eldest son Yuan Tan and forced him to exchange his future daughter-in-law for his son Yuan Xi.

At this time, Yuan Shao's desire to kill Cao Yuan was even stronger than that of killing Cao Cao.

"Gongze, tell the soldiers that after breaking Guandu, they must capture Cao Yuan alive!"

"I will make his life worse than death to vent the hatred in my heart!"

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and shouted.

"That's exactly what it should be!"

Guo Tu touched his ugly face, and his heart was filled with hatred.

"The time has come, let Yan Liangwen be ugly and give Xi'er back."

Yuan Shao's eyes fell on the beautiful and lost girl in front of the camp gate.

That was Zhen Mi, the most beautiful woman in Jizhou, who was originally to be his daughter-in-law.

Now, he has to use this girl to endure the humiliation and bear the heavy burden. In exchange for his son.

Guo Tu ordered and went down to the watchtower to urge Zhen Mi to leave.

"Little sister, my father and I have no choice. Don’t blame us!"

Zhen Yao looked at his sister who was about to leave, guilt welling up on her face.

"Who am I to blame you? In your hearts, I was just a tool used to benefit the Zhen family."

"You want me to marry Mr. Yuan, or give me to Cao Cao's military advisor, it's up to you."

Zhen Mi's every word was full of resentment.

Zhen Yao looked ashamed and didn't know how to comfort his sister. He could only sigh helplessly. The camp door opened.

Two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, protected Zhen Mi. , came out slowly.

The two pairs of people and horses stopped advancing in a tacit understanding ten steps apart.

Yan Liang said loudly:"Cao Yuan, listen to me on the other side. The daughter of the Zhen family has been brought here. Now you can exchange it for my second son as promised. Bar"

"Mr. Yuan, please do as you please."

Cao Yuan glanced at Yuan Xi.

At this time, Yuan Xi longed to fly back to Yuan Camp. As soon as

Cao Yuan spoke, he immediately rode out.

Facing the direction, Zhen Mi was also released, and slowly walked towards where Cao Yuan was.

The two of them The man passed by on the wrong horse.

Zhen Mi looked indifferent and did not even bother to look at Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi looked at that bright and beautiful face, but his heart immediately ignited with endless anger. The most beautiful woman in Jizhou in front of him was originally She wanted to become his wife.

But now, she had to throw herself into Cao Yuan's arms and become the concubine of the Yuan family's sworn enemy.

What a shame and humiliation!

Yuan Xi only felt that his face was knocked to the ground by Cao Yuan. Trampling on him mercilessly.

However, he was full of resentment, but he was helpless. He could only watch Zhen Mi walk away from him and walk towards Cao Yuan step by step.

"Zhen Mi, I will never let you fall into the hands of that thief Cao Yuan!"

A thought burst into Yuan Xi's eyes.

He sped up and came to Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

General Yan Wen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to escort Yuan Xi back to the camp.

At this moment,

Yuan Xi suddenly snatched away what Yan Liang was carrying. Bow and arrow, bow and arrow, turn around and aim

"Ziyou, be careful!"

Xu Chu and Dian Wei changed their colors and immediately protected Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan's sword-shaped brows were slightly narrowed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Yuan Xi, regardless of the agreement, actually had murderous intentions. This was something he did not expect.

But he was so close. They were facing each other at a distance, and Yuan Xi should know very well that besides destroying his remaining reputation, the arrow he fired would not hurt him at all.

Unless.

Yuan Xi did not want to shoot him at all, but to shoot Zhen Mi!

Facing the direction, Yuan Xi loosened his fingertips, and the sharp arrow whizzed out, heading straight for Zhen Mi.

Cao Yuan's eyes gathered, his arms were like the wind, he picked up the divine arm bow, bent it, and fired the arrow at lightning speed Release an arrow.

That arrow is fired first and then

"clang!"

There was a metallic sound.

The arrow that Yuan Xi shot at Zhen Mi was in mid-air, but Cao Yuan shot it down. Yuan

Xi was shocked. He never expected that Cao Yuan had such shooting skills, and was shot down in mid-air. He intercepted his arrow.

After being surprised, Yuan Xi became angry and bowed his bow again, wanting to shoot again.

"Shameless thing, you are seeking death!"

Cao Yuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the divine arm bow was activated again.

A cold light shot through the air.

"puff!"

There was a muffled sound.

It hit Yuan Xi right in the face!
