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

Jizhou is the number one state in the world, and it is also the hometown of the Yuan family. It is natural for Cao Cao to move the Bafu to Yecheng.

Everyone originally thought that Cao Cao would choose to serve as the shepherd of Jizhou on his own to ensure absolute control over Jizhou.

As for the Yecheng Order, it held an even more important position, and most of them would choose a clan member of the Cao family or the Xiahou family to take on important responsibilities.

No one expected it.

Cao Cao unexpectedly chose Cao Yuan, a minister with a foreign surname, as the shepherd of Jizhou.

He also received the Yecheng Order!

This means that Cao Cao's trust in Cao Yuan has far exceeded that of Cao's Xiahou clan.

How could the advisers and generals present not be shocked by this?

Shocked, but no one dared to criticize Cao Cao's decision.

Although Cao Yuan is a minister with a foreign surname, he has made unparalleled achievements. The ministers with a foreign surname and the generals of the Zong family combined have no less merit than Cao Yuan.

With such great achievements, even if Cao Cao goes against common sense and hands over Jizhou and Yecheng to Cao Yuan, they have no right to dare to object.

"Sikong, Yuan Yuan is just a counselor. The responsibility of the state pastor is really heavy. I'm afraid Yuan Yuan can't bear it."

"Please also ask Sikong to choose another talented person. But

Cao Yuan immediately declined.

Cao Cao smiled and asked,"Ziyou, is there anyone more virtuous than you in the whole world?""

"A ruler is longer, an inch is shorter"

"Yuan could only be a counselor, but Zhou Mu also had to deal with political affairs, which was not what Yuan was good at. Yuan recommended his uncle Yuan Rang or his filial uncle to take on this important task."

Cao Yuan laughed at himself and decisively gave the position of state pastor to Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren.

The Cao Zhang incident reminded him.

Cao Cao trusted and favored him extremely, but after all, there was a difference between closeness and distance.

As a minister, he has high merit. He still understands the principle of Gai Zhu.

So he can continue to make this plan, but for an official position with great power, he must be able to deduce it.

A minister who does not hold real power, no matter how resourceful he is, will not cause any trouble. The Lord's Fear

"Yuan'er, how did you know that you are the person that my father trusts most in this world?"

"My father asked you to be Jizhou Shepherd to give you real power and pave the way for you to ascend to the reserve position in the future....."

Looking at his son who was"aware of current affairs", Cao Cao felt deeply for a long time.

Afterwards.

Cao Cao's face was serious and he said resolutely:"I have made up my mind, Fei Ziyou cannot take on the important task of Jizhou Shepherd!"

"But Sikong…"

"Ziyou, you don’t have to refuse anymore! Cao Cao waved his hand and said resolutely:"

I know what you are worried about. I just want to tell you that my trust in you will not be changed by anything. You don't need to think too much, just be the shepherd of Jizhou for me."!"

Cao Yuan's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but be moved by Cao Cao's deep trust.

When it came to this, if he refused again, he would be disrespectful and betrayed Cao Cao's trust.

Cao Yuan took a deep breath. In a tone, he cupped his hands and said:"Thank you very much Sikong for trusting me. I will try my best to live up to Sikong's trust.""

"This is right!"

Cao Cao's face changed from gloomy to clear, and he laughed and said:"We will share the meat and wine with the soldiers. Let's drink until we are drunk and celebrate the victory of capturing Ye City!"

Laughter rang out in the hall.

Countless officers and soldiers of Cao's army inside and outside Yecheng cheered for joy.

One after another battle reports were also sent to all parts of the world.

…

Xudu, Sikong Mansion.

In the Bamboo Pavilion.

Mrs. Bian, who has just returned, is having a secret meeting with Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's two sons.

Mrs. Bian was full of resentment, so she sent her to the camp in Yecheng. Cao Cao slapped her in the face, scolded her, and told her two sons aggrievedly.

"My father really went too far. He was willing to beat his mother for the sake of a foreign minister!"

Cao Pi immediately shouted angrily.

Cao Zhi also said angrily:"My mother just reminded my father. Even if my father didn't listen, he still beat my mother. Could it be that Cao Yuan really treated him better than my mother and us sons? Is it still important?"

Two sons, it was you and me who complained to Cao Cao.

After Mrs. Bian expressed her grievances, her mood gradually calmed down.

"But even if your father favors him no matter how much he is favored, he will still be just a foreign minister after all, and he will only be in glory for a while."

"Sooner or later, your father will pass on the foundation of our Cao family to your brothers. After a hundred years, who can protect your father again?"

Mrs. Bian took a leisurely sip of tea and said with a disdainful expression. She finished her words.

Cao Zhen hurried in and said solemnly:"Mother, an urgent report has just been sent back from Hebei. The foster father has captured Yecheng and killed him. Yuan Shang, Hebei already belongs to my Cao family!"

When the mother and son heard the good news, their spirits were lifted.

Mrs. Bian said in surprise:"My mother just came back from Yecheng. Your father captured Yecheng and destroyed the Yuan family so quickly?

Cao Zhen sighed softly and said,"It's all because of Cao Yuan that my father was able to capture Yecheng so quickly.""

As soon as these words came out, the joy on Mrs. Bian's face immediately disappeared.

The ecstatic expressions of the two brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi also turned gloomy in an instant.

Cao Zhen then used Cao Yuan's plan to defeat the Yuan family's seven thousand cavalry, and again All the strange conspiracies that flooded Yecheng are revealed in silence

"Why is it him again? He has already done a lot of credit, but now he has taken away the great credit for conquering Yecheng again!"

Cao Pi frowned, with a look of jealousy on his face.

Cao Zhi also sighed:"He has accomplished such extraordinary feats again. I don't know how far his father's favor and trust in him will increase!"

Seeing her two sons sighing, Mrs. Bian calmed down.

"No matter how great his contribution is, it is to open up territory for the Cao family and make wedding clothes for your two brothers in the future. You should be happy, why be sad."

Mrs. Bian sneered disapprovingly.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were refreshed by their mother's reminder.

At this time,

Cao Zhen said in a deep voice:"On the night when Yecheng was captured, my adoptive father ordered Cao Yuan to be promoted to Jizhou Mu. , and also let him serve as the magistrate of Yecheng! Mrs. Bian suddenly smiled at the news and said in surprise:"Jizhou Shepherd and Yecheng Order are so important. Couldn't they be held by a clan member of the Cao family and the Xiahou family? Your father actually asked him to be a foreign minister?""

"Indeed.

Cao Zhen shook his head and said:"My son is also puzzled. Why did his adoptive father favor him so much and give him such an important official position? After all, his surname is Cao, not his father's son."."

It's just that his surname is Cao, not his father's son...

Cao Zhen's words seemed to suddenly remind Mrs. Bian of something.

"The husband's favor and trust in him completely exceeded the treatment that a minister should have, and it was such a coincidence that he also had the surname Cao. Could it be that……"

Mrs. Bian shuddered and almost dropped the wine glass in her hand.

The two brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi did not notice the change in their mother's mood and were still chattering and complaining about Cao Cao's decision-making.

"boom!"

The wine glass was suddenly put down.

Mrs. Bian said in a deep voice:"Zidan, go to Longkang quickly and investigate Cao Yuan's family background in detail for me. Don't let go of anything suspicious. have you understood!"
