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

The bloody head rolled down in front of Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang, who was already dumbfounded, immediately trembled with fright, raised his head tremblingly, and looked at Cao Yuan with horrified eyes.

He was confused and couldn't understand the conversation between Cao Yuan and Cao Zhang.

He also didn't understand why Cao Zhang wanted to harm Cao Yuan, a minister of the Cao family.

But Cao Yuan personally killed Cao Zhang, which shocked him beyond measure.

As a counselor of the Cao family, he dared to kill Cao Cao's son. This counselor's courage was really unbelievable!

As soon as the Tianlong Halberd was withdrawn, Cao Yuan's cold eyes turned to Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang trembled again, and immediately saw murderous intent in Cao Yuan's eyes.

"Military Advisor Cao, I was defeated by your wisdom and I am convinced."

"I am willing to surrender to Duke Cao, and I also hope that Cao's military advisor will give me an opportunity to serve Duke Cao."

Yuan Shang ignored his injuries and humbly begged to surrender.

This last son of Yuan Shao was completely frightened by Cao Yuan's methods and had no regard for his status as the fourth generation and the third prince.

"I said that I wanted to destroy Yuan Shaoman's family, how can I break my promise and get fat?"

"Besides, after you saw this scene today, do you think I will spare your life?"

Cao Yuan's expression was cold, and the blood-stained Tianlong Halberd was raised high again.

Yuan Shang was so frightened that he sweated profusely and said anxiously:"My Yuan family no longer poses any threat to Duke Cao. I swear to God, I will never If I tell anyone what happened today, I hope Military Advisor Cao will show mercy."

"It's too late, Yuan Shang, go on your way with peace of mind and go to Huangquan to reunite with your father and brother."

Cao Yuan was indifferent and chopped down the bloody halberd in the air.

"Cao Yuan——"

A hoarse, desperate howl sounded in the forest.

The howling stopped abruptly.

Yuan Shang's head fell to the ground.

With a thought, the Tianlong City Breaking Halberd was put into the system space.

Although Cao Zhang deserves to die, he is Cao Cao's son after all. Cao Cao will definitely feel sad when he learns of his death.

Thinking of this, Cao Yuan buried Cao Zhang's body, simply creating the illusion of missing.

After the arrangements were made, Cao Yuan walked out of the woods and returned to the battlefield calmly.

At this moment, the killing was over, and hundreds of Yuan's troops were surrounded and killed by Zhang Liao and others.

Cao Yuan then ordered to search everywhere for the whereabouts of Yuan Shang and Cao Zhang.

More than an hour later, everyone returned.

Zhang Liao held up Yuan Shang's head and said happily:"Military advisor, I found Yuan Shang's head in the woods. I don't know who killed him!"

Cao Yuan sneered and said:"It doesn't matter who killed him, his head will be gone." In your hands, Zhang Wenyuan, this meritorious service belongs to you. Take it back and present it to Duke Cao!"

Zhang Liao was extremely surprised. He knew that Cao Yuan had intended for him to perform meritorious service, so he was naturally extremely grateful.

Gao Shunze said:"Commander, we have searched more than ten miles around, but we can't find Mr. Ziwen's whereabouts.""

"On the battlefield, life and death are unpredictable."

After Cao Yuan sighed, he left some of his troops behind to continue searching for Cao Zhang's whereabouts. The rest of his troops carried Yuan Shang's head and returned to Ye City.

When night fell, Cao Yuan returned to Ye City.

At this time, the sky was above the four gates of Ye City. , the war flag with the word"Cao" has been hoisted, announcing that this Jizhou prefecture, the heart of the four states in Hebei, has changed hands.

In the general's palace.

Cao Cao has been sitting on the throne, with a high-spirited look on his face, listening to the generals reporting the results of the war.

Cao Yuanyi Entering the lobby, he immediately became the focus of the audience.

Cao Cao personally went down the steps to greet him, pointed at the seat of honor and said with a smile:"Ziyou, if it weren't for you, how could I, Cao Cao, be sitting here today, destroying the Yuan family and conquering Hebei? The first credit belongs to you"

"Sikong's ability to destroy the Yuan family was due to the blessing of destiny. It was just a mistake and a few small tricks."

Cao Yuan naturally did not dare to be arrogant and laughed at himself.

"His achievements are unparalleled, but he has no pride or self-reliance at all. With such magnanimity and determination, he is ashamed to be a father....."

Cao Cao looked at his son who looked as calm as water, and couldn't help but secretly approve in his heart.

Cao Yuan winked at Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao immediately stepped forward and presented Yuan Shang's head.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said with a smile:"When Yuan Shang dies, a message will be sent to the four states. I don't know how many people and soldiers will be able to escape death. Wenyuan, you have done a great service."

Cao Cao immediately ordered Zhang Liao to be promoted to the general of the bandits and given the title of Pavilion. Hou, a city with a thousand households

"Thank you Sikong for your reward!"

Zhang Liao bowed his hands in thanks, but quietly glanced at Cao Yuan, his eyes full of gratitude.

Cao Yuan could only smile.

"By the way, why don't you see Zhang'er come back?"

Cao Cao glanced around, but could not see Cao Zhang.

Cao Yuan remained silent and looked at Gao Shun.

Gao Shun said:"When I was waiting to intercept Yuan Shang at the north gate, Master Ziwen happened to catch up. After a scuffle, But Mr. Ziwen was nowhere to be seen. I searched everywhere but couldn't find him."

The smile on Cao Cao's face disappeared, and a shadow suddenly fell over it.

On the battlefield, soldiers were killed and wounded, and it was common for soldiers not to be seen alive, but not to see their bodies.

Cao Zhang is missing. It is very likely that he died in the battle, but his body is unknown. Where was it left?

Maybe it was washed away by water, maybe it was eaten by wild animals, it is all possible.

In short, the possibility of disaster is extremely high

"Zhang'er is very competitive and always likes to overestimate his capabilities when doing things. I was negligent and shouldn't let him go into battle today."

Cao Cao sighed.

The implication of these words was that he was obviously mentally prepared to accept the outcome of Cao Zhang dying on the battlefield.

Cao Hong and others could only comfort Cao Cao. Maybe Cao Zhang just disappeared, not necessarily died in the battle. He needs to be treated again. Send men and horses to search everywhere.

Cao Cao said nothing and acquiesced to the proposal of Cao Hong and others.

Looking at the sad Cao Cao, Cao Yuan felt no guilt in his heart.

Although Cao Zhang was Cao Cao's son, that guy wanted to put him at risk. Killing is a matter of course at the place of death. Vengeance must be avenged, this is Cao Yuan's behavior.

Pretending Cao Zhang's disappearance was out of concern for Cao Cao's feelings, not to bear the pain of losing his son, and to leave a ray of thought for Cao Cao.

If you can do it , Cao Xiu thinks he has a clear conscience for these things.

"Naturally, we must continue to search for the whereabouts of Mr. Sikong and Mr. Ziwen."

"But now Yecheng has just been conquered. Although the four states in Hebei can spread the message, there are still many things to do, such as appointing officials, appeasing people's hearts, and recruiting the Yuan family's surrendered soldiers."

"Please also ask Sikong to focus on military and national affairs."

Guo Jia reminded him sternly.

After he reminded him, Cao Cao suddenly realized that he immediately put away his sentimentality and regained the calmness of a hero.

"Jia believes that the first thing now is for Sikong to move the Bafu to Yecheng"

"At the same time, Sikong should also appoint the shepherd of Jizhou and the order of Yecheng to calm people's hearts and complete the absolute control of Jizhou as soon as possible."

"Jizhou is the first of the four states. Only by pacifying Jizhou can the entire four states of Hebei be pacified."

Guo Jia made another suggestion.

Cao Cao thought deeply and shouted happily:"Cao Yuan listens to the order! Cao

Yuan, who was drinking to quench his thirst, suddenly heard Cao Cao calling him. He quickly put down his glass and stood up.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said loudly:"From today on, you, Cao Yuan, will be promoted to the position of shepherd of Jizhou and also the magistrate of Yecheng. All major military and political affairs in Yecheng and Jizhou will be decided by you!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked by this reward.

Even Cao Yuan himself was surprised and looked at Cao Cao in surprise.
