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

Chen Deng came as Cao Yuan expected.

Cao Cao immediately summoned him.

Everything was as Cao Yuan expected. After Chen Deng met Cao Cao, he really expressed his secret intention to join him.

Cao Cao was secretly happy and praised Chen and his son greatly, comforting him.

Then Cao Cao instructed Chen Deng to act as an internal agent after returning to Xuzhou, driving a wedge between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, causing the two thieves to break up.

After the incident was completed, Cao Cao promised to appoint Chen Deng as the commander of Xuzhou and the governor of Guangling County in the name of the emperor.

Chen Deng was naturally overjoyed and immediately expressed his loyalty to Cao Cao.

After a secret meeting, Chen Deng resigned and rushed back to Xuzhou overnight.

Cao Cao was relieved and said with a smile:"Are you still worried that Chen Gong will see through our estrangement plan?"

"Chen Gui and his son are very good at maneuvering, Chen Gong must be no match for them!"

The clouds on Xun Yu's face cleared, he raised his hands and said in admiration:"Sikong was able to figure out that the Chen family and his son would take the initiative to join him, and they were willing to respond internally. Sikong's ability to recognize people really made Yu admire him very much."

"Wen Ruo, you admire the wrong person. Cao Yuan smiled slyly,"

I, Cao Cao, was not the one who saw through the minds of Chen and his son." Xun

Yu was startled, then looked at Guo Jia:"Is it Feng Xiao's work?""

"I am ashamed of my ability to know things like a god and see fire like a god."

Guo Jia laughed at himself and denied it on the spot.

Xun Yu's eyes were filled with deep wonder, his thoughts turned around, and he suddenly guessed a little bit.

He then asked:"There have always been rumors in the community that Sikong has found a scheming man, Wan Yu. The Battle of the City was attributed to this person. Could it be that this person is also responsible for it now?"

Cao Cao took a sip of wine and just smiled.

He neither denied nor admitted.

"When he was working in the fields, Sikong got ten thousand Quyuan plows."

"Later, in the battle of Xinye, Sikong got another thousand red rabbit horses."

"During the salt shortage two months ago, at the critical moment, Sikong received hundreds of thousands of good salt from Shishanghaojing."

"We have been speculating that behind Sikong, in addition to the scheming man, there is also a mysterious rich man with great powers who is funding him?"

Xun Yu simply asked about another confusion that he had been holding back for a long time.

Cheng Yu and other advisers looked at Cao Cao one after another, with the same doubt in their hearts.

Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other, and the two officials secretly smiled.

Of course they would not have thought that the scheming man and the mysterious financial backer could be the same person.

Moreover, this person was quietly recruited by Cao Cao to be his niece's son-in-law.

"One day, when the time is right, you will naturally know everything."

Cao Cao still whetted their appetites.

It's not that he didn't want to tell the existence of Cao Yuan, but that the niece-in-law only thought about making money and had no thoughts about official career.

If Cao Yuan was forced to the stage at this moment , , what if he touches his reverse scale and runs away?

Cao Cao insists on not telling the truth, and no one dares to ask any more questions.

"Yuan Shu, an arrogant idiot, dares to openly challenge my authority, so let him suffer the consequences and see what I can do!"

Cao Cao's face was filled with cold and stern expressions.

Two days later,

Dong Zhao carried the emperor's decree and detoured to Jiangdong to reward Sun Ce.

Chen Deng also rushed back to Xuzhou and conspired with his father Chen Gui to persuade Lu Bu to tear up his daughter and Yuan Shu. His son's marriage openly broke with Yuan Shu.

The situation in Huainan took a turn for the worse.

…

Shouchun, Imperial Palace

"That thief Sun Ce, I treated him like my own son in vain, yet he dared to be ungrateful and betray me!"

"I will kill him and make his life worse than death!"

On the dragon throne.

The plump Yuan Shu had a ferocious and twisted face, roaring and cursing furiously.

In front of the palace, Yuan Yao, Yang Ji, Yan Xiang, Ji Ling and other courtiers were trembling and did not dare to express their anger.

"Zhou Yu! Yuan

Shu suddenly pointed at a young Confucian general and scolded him:"You and Sun Ce have become friends since they worshiped their mother in court. Sun Ce betrayed me. Do you want to betray me too?""

Zhou Yu's body shook, and a few drops of cold sweat instantly broke out on his jade-like face.

At this time, he, like the original Sun Ce, was a subordinate of Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu admired him very much and personally ordered him to be conquered. Shouchun was an official.

As a close friend of Sun Ce, Yuan Shu was so angry that he naturally took his anger out on him.

"I am righteous to Sun Ce, but loyal to Your Majesty!"

"Although I am not talented, I still know that loyalty is greater than justice."

"Moreover, Your Majesty treats your ministers with kindness, how can I dare to betray Your Majesty?"

Zhou Yu turned around calmly and calmly, stepped forward and defended himself generously.

Only then did Yuan Shu's anger calm down slightly.

"newspaper~~"

The Kingsguard rushed in and fell to their knees.

"Xuzhou Urgent News"

"Lu Bu has broken the engagement between his daughter and His Highness the Crown Prince, openly betrayed the alliance, and even denounced His Majesty as a traitor!"

A thunderbolt struck Yuan Shu's head.

He staggered and fell down on the dragon throne, his eyes filled with shock.

Yuan Yao and others in the hall were in an uproar again.

"Lu Bu, you, a slave with three surnames, dare to betray me!"

"I'm going to kill you, all you ungrateful villains——"

Yuan Shu suddenly woke up and cursed almost madly.

After scolding for a long time, Yuan Shu finally collapsed on the dragon throne weakly.

"Your Majesty, these two traitors, Sun Ce and Lu Bu, must be destroyed!"

"Sun Ce is far to the east of the Yangtze River and is blocked by the Yangtze River. Without naval troops, it will be difficult to conquer him for a while."

"I think that Your Majesty should lead the Northern Expedition first, kill the traitor Lu Bu, and take advantage of the opportunity to bring Xuzhou into the territory! Prime Minister Yang

Hong was the first to stand up and help Yuan Shu solve his problems.

Yuan Shu's fighting spirit was rekindled and he said sternly:"Pass on my decree, the prince will guard Shouchun. I will mobilize all the soldiers from Huainan to conquer the slaves of the three surnames."!"

"Your Majesty, calm down"

"If your Majesty mobilizes all the troops to attack Xuzhou, Shouchun will definitely be empty of troops. If Cao Cao takes advantage of the opportunity and goes south along the Ying River to attack Shouchun suddenly, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Yan Xiang urged him urgently.

Yuan Shu's expression was stern, and his arrogance immediately weakened by three points.

"Cao A is very deceitful and must be guarded against. Damn it.~~"

Yuan Shu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Yang Hong, Yan Xiang and others had no way to deal with it for the moment.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan to prevent Cao Cao from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack!"

Zhou Yu, who was hiding in the corner, suddenly spoke.

Yuan Shu's eyes lit up and he asked urgently:"Gong Jin, you have always been resourceful. What clever plan do you have? Tell me quickly."

"If Cao Cao launches a sudden attack, he will first go south along the Ying River, enter the Huai River from Yingkou, and then go east along the Huai River to reach Shouchun."

"Longkang City is located at the intersection of Yingshui River and Huaishui River. It is the key to defending Shouchun."

"I think your Majesty can send a general to guard Longkang, and then build a beacon tower every ten miles upstream."

"In this way, once Cao Cao invades, the beacon tower can warn Longkang City in time, so that the city gates can be closed and the formation is ready."

"As long as Longkang is defended, Shouchun will have peace of mind and His Majesty will be able to return to the army in time for rescue."

Zhou Yu looked confident and offered a plan confidently.

"Beacon tower! Yuan

Shu's eyes lit up and he nodded in praise:"This plan is really a stroke of genius. Gong Jin, you are indeed a rare wise general. You have done great service for me!""

Yuan Shu then adopted Zhou Yu's plan.

He ordered Zhou Yu to assist Prince Yuan Yao in guarding Shouchun, ordered general Qiao Rui and counselor Yan Xiang to guard Longkang, and ordered general Zhang Xun to go to Hefei to stop Sun Ce from going north.

Yuan Shu then mobilized an army of 50,000 men and marched north in a mighty manner. Head straight to Xiapi.

Suddenly, Huainan is full of war smoke.
