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

When Cao Cao heard that Cao Yuan had a plan to capture Cao Pi alive, he immediately became energetic and asked what the plan was.

Cao Yuan took his time and told his plan.

Cao Cao's eyes flashed and he nodded and said:"The prince's plan to divorce is indeed a clever one. I will use your plan to capture the traitor alive!"

……

Xin'an City.

At night, on the west gate tower.

Cao Pi has received a personal letter from Cao Cao.

This is a letter urging Cao Pi to turn back.

In the letter, Cao Cao persuaded Cao Pi to turn around and immediately change his mind and surrender.

Only in this way can it be regarded as meritorious service. Cao Cao, thinking of the love between father and son, will let him live and demote him to a commoner.

"The old man wanted to lure me to surrender, but he refused to give me the crown prince position of Cao Yuan, and even demoted me to a commoner. Of course he was stupid!"

Cao Pi sneered disdainfully and threw the autographed letter on the table.

"Young Master, this must be the reason why Emperor Wei saw that there was a Young Master in Xin'an City and could not attack it by force, so he wanted to use the relationship between father and son to induce the Young Master to surrender."

"This must be Cao Yuan's trick. If the young master really surrenders the city, the Emperor of Wei will definitely go against his promise and kill the young master under the temptation of Cao Yuan!"

Zhong Yao revealed the mystery with one word.

Cui Yan also said seriously:"Master, Emperor Wei is cruel and vicious, and Cao Yuan is cunning and cunning. Master, you must not fall into their scheme."

These two famous people were afraid that Cao Pi would be shaken.

Cao Pi sneered and said,"You two don't have to worry too much. Unless that old guy kills Cao Yuan and offers the throne to him, there is no way I will surrender to him. Do you think I will surrender to him?" Could I be that naive and stupid?"

Zhong Yao and Cui Yan looked at each other, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

"The young master’s powerful strategy is truly a blessing to all the families in the world."

Zhong Yao immediately changed his attitude and complimented him with a smile.

"Don’t worry, young master, as long as we can capture Luoyang, if you raise your arms and call for help, all the families in the world will surely respond."

"He who wins a noble family wins the world!"

"Be it Emperor Wei, Cao Yuan, or Ma Teng, they will all be no match for the young master."

"This world will eventually belong to the young master. Cui

Yan vowed to make a cake for Cao Pi.

Cao Pi's eyebrows flashed with pride and he sneered:"My old and foolish father, whose vision of the world is still limited after all, actually listened to Cao Yuan's instigation and wanted to fight with the world's famous families. Being an enemy is really overestimating one's own capabilities."

In the city tower, the three people laughed sarcastically.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the city tower.

Cao Pi put away his smile and was about to send someone to ask what was going on.

"Boom!"

The closed door was kicked open.

Yan Liang led a group of personal guards and broke into the tower with a pale face.

Cao Pi's face changed slightly, he stood up and pretended to smile:"It's so late, what's wrong with General Yan? Are you coming to my place to discuss something important? Yan

Liang asked coldly:"Yehou, I heard that the Lord of Wei sent people to the city and sent you a personal letter. Is this relevant?""

Cao Pi was shocked, and suddenly he had an ominous premonition.

He was on duty at the west gate tonight, and the soldiers and horses on the city were all his subordinates.

Cao Cao sent someone to send him a personal letter, and it didn't take long. , Yan Liang learned the news.

This meant that among his men, Yan Liang had already mixed it up and arranged for spies.

Yan Liang was guarding him!

Cao Pi suddenly felt dissatisfied, but he couldn't express it clearly.

He had to suppress it. Annoyed, he said calmly:"Yes, that old guy did send someone to deliver a letter to me. General Yan's information is really well-informed. Seeing that Cao

Pi was lying, Yan Liang's livid face softened slightly.

He then asked,"I wonder what the Emperor of Wei wrote in the letter to the Marquis of Ye?""

"What it could mean is that he didn't have confidence in conquering Xin'an City, so he wanted to use some kind of father-son affection to persuade me to surrender the city so that he could conquer Xin'an City without fighting."

Cao Pi said disapprovingly.

Yan Liang frowned and asked again:"Then what is Yehou's plan?

Cao Pi sneered and said,"General Yan's questions are unnecessary. I have severed all ties with that old guy. How could I be stupid enough to surrender to him and seek death?""

Yan Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he led his army out of Tongguan, Ma Teng secretly told him that he should not only use Cao Pi, but also guard against him.

Yan Liang didn't take it seriously before, but now there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Xin'an City. , there are 20,000 private soldiers of the family summoned by Cao Pi. With such a comparison of military strength, he could not help but be wary of Cao Pi.

Therefore, when he learned that Cao Cao sent a message to Cao Pi, he immediately became vigilant. First Time came to question.

Cao Pi's frank confession gradually dispelled his worries.

"I wonder where that letter is. Can I take a look at it?"

Yan Liang still had some suspicions and wanted to confirm again.

Cao Pi's face sank slightly. Yan Liang's repeated suspicions finally made him unable to suppress his dissatisfaction.

"It's just a letter. The young master is open and honest, so why not show it to General Yan. Seeing this ,

Zhong Yao on the side quickly persuaded Cao Pi to calm down.

Cao Pi could only suppress his anger and glanced at the case, saying lukewarmly,"The letter is there. General Yan can read it himself.""

Yan Liang ignored Cao Pi's displeasure and grabbed the letter. He read it several times. It was indeed as Cao Pi said. The contents of the letter were Cao Cao's words of persuasion to surrender. There seemed to be nothing suspicious about it.

Yan Liang was heartbroken. After finally clearing up his doubts, he was thinking about what words he should say to appease his suspicion of Cao Pi tonight.

Suddenly,

Yan Liang's eyes suddenly gathered, and a strong suspicion welled up in his eyes.

"Yehou, why did you obliterate these few paragraphs in the letter? Yan

Liang pointed at the letter and asked in a deep voice.

"smear?"

Cao Pi's eyes were blank. He looked at the letter carefully again and suddenly remembered that there were indeed a few smear marks on the letter.

He disagreed and said:"When I opened the letter, there were these smear marks. It was probably the old guy's mistake in writing. Okay, just smear it on."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Liang's suspicion was not dispelled, but became more intense.

"Yehou, are you fooling me?"

"Who doesn’t know that your father, Cao Cao, was a literary giant in the world. He made a mistake in writing a letter to persuade people to surrender, but instead of rewriting it, he scrawled it out and still gave it to you?"

Yan Liang asked in a deep voice.

Cao Pi was speechless and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

Yan Liang frowned and said sternly:"Or is there some conspiracy between you and your son, and you didn't want the general to see it, so you wiped it out?"

Cao Pi was shocked and his color suddenly changed.
