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

"Economic war?"

Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at each other. After hearing these unheard words, the two ministers looked confused.

"Ziyou, forgive me for being ignorant, uncle. What is the scripture?...Economic war?"

Cao Cao asked curiously.

"In short, it's a waste of money."

Cao Yuan took his time, picked up a piece of glutinous cake, and put it into his mouth.

"Burning money?"

Cao Cao became more and more confused the more he listened.

"I have sent people to Xuzhou for detailed investigation before. The Mi family's business mainly consists of three areas: sea salt, grain, and cloth."

"Uncle Haiyan knows that in the last business deal, the Mi family lost more than 100,000 yuan in sea salt, which was considered a loss of blood."

"As for food, spring has just begun and the autumn food is still far away. Naturally, the Mi family has no food to sell."

"Based on this calculation, the Mi family can only rely on the cloth business to generate blood to support Liu Bei's 6,000 soldiers and horses."

Cao Yuan said that he was a little thirsty and was about to pour tea.

Cao Cao was quick and poured a cup of tea for Cao Yuan first and served it with both hands.

Cao Yuan took a few sips and then continued:"So, as long as we can defeat The Mi family's cloth business is equivalent to cutting off Liu Bei's financial path."

"I didn’t expect that Ziyou, you know the Mi family so well!"

Cao Cao nodded in approval and asked further:"Then tell me how to defeat the Mi family's cloth business."

"Four words, low price dumping!"

Cao Yuan replied simply and neatly.

Cao Cao was confused again and couldn't help but look at Guo Jia.

Although Guo Jia was extremely resourceful, he knew nothing about economic warfare and could only shake his head with a wry smile.

"What our Duke Cao has to do is to mobilize 100,000 pieces of cloth from various states and dump them in various counties of Xuzhou at a price far lower than the cost price."

"It is human nature to be greedy for petty gains. Xuzhou people will naturally rush to buy our low-priced cloth. Who will buy the Mi family's cloth?"

"If the Mi family wants to sell cloth, they can only lower the price and reluctantly bleed."

"Once the price drops, there will be no profit. What will the Mi family use to provide Liu Bei with military pay?"

A sly smile flashed in Cao Yuan's eyes, and he revealed all this economic war.

Cao Cao suddenly realized that the dark clouds in front of his eyes were gone.

He looked at his son again, his eyes were not only admiring and admiring, but also deeply shocked.

"I have been in the military for half my life, but I have never thought that I can use such economic means to destroy the enemy's troops without a single blow!"

"This child's scheme is really unimaginable!"

Cao Cao's thoughts turned around. The more he looked at Cao Yuan, the more he admired and liked him.

Suddenly, a thought came into his mind:

"If he inherits the foundation of my Cao family in the future, will it be the wisest choice?"

Cao Cao was in a daze for a moment.

Cao Cao Yuan saw that he was stunned, thinking that he had been persuaded by himself.

He poured Cao Cao a cup of tea and said with a smile:"So what I want my uncle to do is help me if Cao Gong really wants to fight this. In case of economic war, can you give me those 100,000 pieces of cloth and let me go to Xuzhou to sell and buy them?"

After laying the groundwork for a long time, Cao Yuan finally revealed his intention.

One piece of cloth is worth two thousand yuan.

One hundred thousand pieces of cloth is worth two hundred million yuan.

This is just the price of ordinary cloth. If the small treasury adds some high-quality cloth, , the price has at least doubled several times.

After this trip, the court lost money by dumping it at a low price, but he himself made at least one billion dollars.

A jade seal that was useless to him was exchanged for one billion dollars. This deal was simply Don't be too cost-effective

"I see."

Cao Cao suddenly understood, and realized that Cao Yuan had been wandering around for a long time, and it turned out that he was eyeing the one hundred thousand pieces of cloth.

But if he could cut off Liu Bei's financial path and defeat Xiaopei quickly, a mere hundred thousand pieces of cloth would be worth it.

Cao Cao was happy. He smiled and said:"Okay, I've done this for you. After returning to Xudu, I will try my best to persuade Duke Cao to leave this job to you, Ziyou!""

"As expected, my uncle is a member of his own family. He knows he cares about me and takes care of me."

"Come on, let me smash another pecan for Sikong."

Cao Yuan smiled happily, casually grabbed the imperial seal, and started smashing it again without even thinking about it.

"Still smashed!"

"This is going to be smashed, how can I treat Cao Gong!"

Cao Cao was eager and quick, and snatched it back, holding it in his arms like a treasure.

Cao Yuan was startled, and then laughed.

Cao Cao was afraid that Cao Yuan would regret it, so he took his leave immediately with the jade seal passed down to the country. As soon as he left the house.

Cao Cao put his hand behind his back and regained his domineering demeanor.

He glanced at Guo Jia,"Fengxiao, what do you think of Ziyou's so-called economic war strategy?""

"During the Spring and Autumn Period when the Five Hegemons were competing for supremacy, Guan Zhong, the famous Prime Minister of Qi State, used the same method to defeat the State of Lu without a single blow and severely damaged the State of Chu."

"The economic warfare of Master Ziyou is as good as Guan Zhong's, and even better."

"Jia thinks it can be done."

Guo Jia quoted the classics and highly praised Cao Yuan's methods.

Cao Cao stroked his beard lightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Guan Zhong is a famous minister, what a status.

Guo Jia can compare his son with Guan Zhong, what he did My father, how can I not be proud of it?

"good! Just as you said, Fengxiao"

"After returning to Xudu, he immediately raised 100,000 pieces of cloth and gave them to Ziyou to cut off the big-eared thieves' wealth!"

Cao Cao laughed and gave the order happily.

At this time, confusion flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and he murmured:"This national jade seal is in the hands of Master Ziyou, so what did Zhou Yu steal?"

…

Ruxuwu.

A young and heroic man holds a sword in his hand, standing proudly on the city tower, admiring the mighty navy on the rolling Yangtze River.

"The battle flag with the word"Sun" was flying dazzlingly behind him

"General Bo Fu, all 30,000 Jiangdong athletes have crossed the river."

"Bo Fu, you only need to give an order, and we can go north from Feishui, defeat Hefei first, and go straight to Shouchun!"

The veteran general Han Dang asked for orders from behind.

"Not urgent! Sun

Ce waved his hands and said with a sneer:"Let Cao Cao and Yuan Shu fight like dogs in Shouchun City first. After they are both injured, we will clean up the mess." Han

Dang was startled and said anxiously:"If we drag on any longer and Yuan Shu is defeated by Cao Cao, wouldn't it be too late for us to get involved in Shouchun?""

Sun Ce's eyes flashed with disapproval.

"Cao Cao's thieves attacked Shouchun, but they only won by deception. Don't forget, Yuan Shu also had 50,000 soldiers."

"I predict that the two of them will be on the front line in Shouchun, and they will be inextricably killed. Within a month or two, the winner will be indistinguishable."

"We have plenty of time, so we can recharge our batteries here, and then reap the benefits when they both lose.

Sun Ce took his time and pointed out his deep meaning. Han Dang suddenly realized it, raised his hands and praised:"

Bo Fu, you not only have the courage of Wentai's ancestors, but also your wisdom and scheming are superior to Wentai's ancestors. We are waiting for you." Following you will surely revitalize the Sun family! Sun

Ce smiled and said nothing, but his arrogance was not hidden in his brows.

At this moment,

Pan Zhang, the general, hurriedly climbed onto the tower, raised his hands and shouted:"My lord, the urgent report has just been sent back, Cao Cao has arrived in Shouchunquan." After annihilating 50,000 Yuan troops, Yuan Shu was defeated and captured. He was beheaded by Cao Cao and his head was sent to Xudu!"

A thunder roared in his ears.

The conceited smile on Sun Ce's face was instantly distorted into shock and horror.

That shocked expression seemed to have heard the most mysterious thing in the world.

Han Dang's face also changed with horror. He looked at Sun Ce anxiously:"General Bo Fu, that Cao thief has actually destroyed Yuan Shu. This, this...."

The veteran was so shocked that he was speechless at this moment.

"This is impossible! Sun

Ce woke up and asked sternly:"Even if there are 50,000 pigs, it is impossible for them to be killed by the Cao thieves so quickly. This is impossible!""

Pan Zhang had no choice but to fight Shouchun. How did Cao Cao defeat the enemy without fighting and easily disintegrate 50,000 Yuan's troops?

The truth is revealed.

They can't help but believe it!

Sun Ce took a breath and said in disbelief:"Yes Who could offer such a wonderful strategy to Cao Cao?"

Han Dang was shocked and confused, unable to answer.

His two ministers fell into shock and confusion for a moment.

At this time, Yiye Zongge carried a young general who was in a state of embarrassment ashore and entered Ruxuwu

"Bo Fu!"

Zhou Yu climbed onto the tower with a smile on his face.

When Sun Ce turned around and recognized Zhou Yu, he couldn't help but be ecstatic

"Gongjin, Gongjin, why are you here? I am worried about you!"

Sun Ce stepped forward to give Zhou Yu a hug, patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and asked with a smile.

"As soon as I learned that you were revolting against Yuan, I wanted to join you, but I didn't have the chance."

"When Shouchun City was destroyed, I found a good opportunity and took advantage of it to escape, so that I could go south to see you. Zhou

Yu explained with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I have Gong Jin to help me, so why worry about not succeeding in my great cause! Sun

Ce laughed heartily as if he had found a treasure.

Zhou Yu was much calmer and asked:"Bo Fu, when I was in Hefei, I already learned that Yuan Shu was killed by Cao's thieves. Do you know?""

"I just found out too. Sun

Ce frowned again and asked,"Gong Jin, you came from Shouchun. Do you know who offered the plan to Cao Cao and killed Yuan Shu so easily?""

"There are rumors that Cao Cao has acquired a mysterious strategist who is as clever as Zhang Liang's resurrection."

"It was this man who proposed a plan for Cao Cao. He defeated Shouchun first, then Yuan Shu, and captured all of Huainan in just one month."

Zhou Yu told the rumors he heard.

"A man of uncanny wisdom than Zhang Liang?"

Sun Ce frowned, a bit of fear and deep disgust flashed in his eyes.

"boom! He struck the battlement and gritted his teeth and said,"What a scheming man. He ruined my plan to capture Huainan. It's really hateful!""

"There is no need to be impatient, Bo Fu. Zhou

Yu, however, sneered and consoled him:"Sooner or later, the traitor Cao will go north to fight Yuan Shao. At that time, he had no time to look south. Bo Fu took the opportunity to send his troops north. It will not be easy to capture Huainan." Sun

Ce was awakened, and the clouds in his eyes cleared.

He sneered and said:"Gong Jin's words are reasonable. I will take Huainan into my pocket sooner or later, so why rush it.""

At that moment, Sun Ce took Zhou Yu back to the military mansion, asked him to arrange wine and meat, and warmly welcomed Zhou Yu.

After a few glasses of wine, Zhou Yu smiled secretly and said:"Bo Fu, I came here this time and brought you something. Gift"

"what gift? Sun

Ce said with great interest.

Zhou Yu said:"When I left Shouchun, I took advantage of Yuan Shu's unpreparedness and stole the imperial seal of your Sun family. I brought it with me to Ruxuwu. This is my gift to you."."

Sun Ce was overjoyed.

This imperial seal was obtained by his father Sun Jian after he captured Luoyang. Sun Jian later died in battle. In order to get back Sun Jian's old troops from Yuan Shu, he had to give the imperial seal to Yuan Shu.

Now Yuan Shu has been destroyed. , he was worried that Cao Cao could get the jade seal passed down to the country, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu would steal it for him.

"It is destiny that the imperial seal can be returned to the hands of my Sun family....."

Sun Ce was secretly ecstatic and said hurriedly:"Where is the jade seal? Gong Jin, please show me quickly."

Zhou Yu took out a gold box from the bag and opened it carefully.

A boxy object came into view.

It's actually a piece of wood!

Zhou Yu was confused.
