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

Cao Yuan's small vault system, when adding items that existed in this era, the original items will degrade themselves.

After Zhou Yu jumped into the Feishui River and luckily saved his life, he hurriedly hid in Tibet and fled to Ruxuwu to join Sun Ce.

Along the way, he did not check the gold box, so he naturally did not discover that the imperial seal had been reduced to a square piece of wood while it was silent.

"Gong Jin, is this the imperial seal of my Sun family?"

Sun Ce frowned and pointed at the wood and asked.

Zhou Yu grabbed the wood and turned the gold box over, but he didn't even see the fragments of the jade seal.

"Weird, really weird!"

"What I took away was obviously the Imperial Seal. How could it turn into a piece of wood? This is really unexplainable.~~"

Zhou Yu held the piece of wood in his hand, with endless confusion in his eyes.

Han Dang's face darkened and he said displeasedly:"Zhou Yu, you are so brave, could you be teasing General Bo Fu!"

Zhou Yu shuddered, and a layer of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

"Why did the righteous old general say this?"

"Since I, Zhou Yu, want to defect to Bo Fu, Bo Fu is my lord. How dare I tease my lord!"

Zhou Yu forced himself to calm down and defended with a serious face.

Han Dang snorted coldly and pointed at the wood:"You are not teasing General Bo Fu, so how can you explain this?"

"me....."

Zhou Yu was embarrassed and panicked, and didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Sun Ce squeezed out a smile on his face, waved his hand and said,"How could Gong Jin tease me? He must have picked it up by mistake. It's just a jade seal, so don't forget it."

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but felt sad in his heart. always confused

"Old General Yi Gong, go and deliver the order for all armies to return to the east of the Yangtze River."

Sun Ce gave another order.

Han Dang had to accept the order and retreat.

After sending Han Dang away, Sun Ce lowered his voice and asked with a smile:"Gong Jin, when you evacuated Shouchun, didn't you rescue those two Qiaos?"

He was thinking about Da Qiao.

The confusion on Zhou Yu's face suddenly turned into annoyance.

"When I left Shouchun, I originally took Mrs. Xu and Er Qiao away with me, but unexpectedly, I was intercepted by a group of soldiers on the way."

"The general at the head was extremely skilled in martial arts. I was also chased by him and jumped into the Feishui River, and I was lucky enough to escape."

"As for Er Qiao, he either died in the rebel army or was kidnapped by the general."

Zhou Yu said bitterly.

Sun Ce's expression changed and he asked in a deep voice:"That means Er Qiao was snatched away by Cao Cao's men?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said:"The clothes and armor of that team are not Cao's army. They should be someone's private soldiers."

"Private soldiers? A strange look flashed in Sun

Ce's eyes,"Who is so bold as to send private soldiers to rob Cao's army when it breaks the city?""

Zhou Yu had no way to answer except shaking his head.

"boom!"

Sun Ce's fist hit the battlement again.

There is no hope of taking Shouchun, and he has not been able to get back the imperial seal. Now even the woman he admired has been kidnapped without knowing who.

Sun Ce just feels full. ’s nest fire

"Go check it out for me!"

"Find out in whose hands the jade seal passed down from the Kingdom fell into"

"We also need to find out who is so brave that he dares to kidnap me and your Zhou Yu woman!"

Sun Ce ordered with an angry look on his face.

"promise!"

Zhou Yu is busy and is taking orders.

"besides! Sun

Ce waved his hand again:"The most important thing is to find out the scheming man behind Cao Cao. Whether this person exists is related to my overall layout of going north to compete with Cao Cao in the future."

Zhou Yu hurriedly echoed:"Bo Fu's words make sense. This person must be identified. I will make arrangements immediately.""

Everything was arranged.

Sun Ce, full of anger, led his army to retreat to Jiangdong.

A few days later, Cao Cao led his army from Shouchun and returned north to Xudu.

Lu Bu learned that Yuan Shu had been destroyed, and gathered Ji Ling and other Yuan Shu together. After the old army, he also led his army back to Xiapi.

Huainan changed hands, and the news of Yuan Shu's fall soon spread to all states.

The world was shocked.

…

Xudu, Sikong Mansion.

In a secret room, Cao Pizheng and Cao Zhen had a secret meeting.

Cao Zhen held the battle report in his hand and recounted the entire battle of Huainan one by one.

Cao Pi was naturally overjoyed that his father had wiped out all the enemies and opened up territory for the Cao family.

But after the joy, Cao Pi saw something suspicious

"If Xun Wen stayed in Xudu, he could not accompany the army to advise his father."

"Although Guo Jia is known as a conspiracy, but based on your understanding of Zidan, does he have the strength to let his father wipe out Huainan and kill Yuan Shu so quickly?"

Cao Pi stared at the battle report with doubts in his eyes.

"According to the secret reports from our eyes and ears, the adoptive father crossed the river in white clothes to attack Longkang and defeated Yuan Shu without any blood. None of this was Guo Jia's suggestion, but the adoptive father's own initiative."

Cao Zhen lowered his voice and said

"Father's own plan? Cao

Pi's eyes became more suspicious, and he shook his head and said:"I am my father's son, and I know him best. Although he is a god in military use, these two ingenious strategies could never come from my father.""

"Yudi thought so too. Cao

Zhen nodded and said,"There are rumors that during this southern expedition, it was that scheming man who secretly provided advice to his adoptive father, so that my father could quickly destroy Yuan Shu within a month!""

Cao Pi looked shocked and couldn't help but stood up and walked around with his hands behind his back.

"It's that person again. From this point of view, there is no doubt that this person exists. Cao

Pi waved his hand and said,"Zidan, if you send more eyes and ears, you must find out who this strange man is. I must win him over to my sect." Cao Zhen whispered:"

Second brother not only wants to win over this person, but also wants to win over this person before Zijian.""

Cao Pi's eyes moved, unable to understand what he meant.

"According to a secret report from our people, Ding Yi, Ding Giao and others had secretly gathered around Zijian after their eldest brother was killed in Wancheng."

"Obviously, the Ding family is afraid of losing power, so they want to support Zijian and compete with you, the second brother, for the reserve position."

Cao Zhen lowered his voice and said solemnly.

Cao Pi's face changed and he shuddered.

The Zijian in Cao Zhen's mouth was Cao Zhi. In terms of temperament and essay ability, he was far superior to him and won Cao Cao's favor. If Cao Zhi had the intention

,

With him competing for the throne and the support of the Ding family, it is really unpredictable who the Cao family's reserve position will belong to.

"Zijian, I didn’t expect that you are also ambitious and want to compete with me for position!"

Cao Pi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth secretly.

"That clever and scheming man has made great contributions to his adoptive father and won the trust of his adoptive father. If he becomes an official in the future, he will definitely become a close confidant of his adoptive father."

"Maybe, this person's status will surpass Xun Yu's"

"How could Zijian not try every means to win over such an important minister?"

"Therefore, second brother, you must be the first to find out who this person is and win over him first!"

Cao Zhen said earnestly.

Cao Pi was enlightened and shouted anxiously:"Then what are you waiting for? Go and make arrangements quickly. You must find that person first for me at all costs!"

"promise!"

…

The border of Youzhou, south of Yi Jing.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the war drums rumbled.

Countless Yuan soldiers were overwhelmingly attacking Yi Jingbi.

Gongsun Zan's last fortress was already crumbling.

Under the banner of the Chinese Army.

Yuan Shao immediately held up his sword, looking at the broken Yi Jing coldly with a confident look.

"Send an order, whoever defeats Yijing first will be granted the title of Marquis!"

"Those who win Gongsun Zan’s head will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

Yuan Shao saw that he could not attack for a long time, so he loudly promised a heavy reward.

Under the heavy reward, Yuan's soldiers were inspired, and they all fought bravely and attacked more fiercely.

"My lord, Shen Wu, has a strong strategy. Our soldiers will use their lives. According to the situation, Yi Jing will be defeated in less than a month."

"We congratulate your lord in advance for regaining Youzhou and unifying Hebei!"

The counselor met the rules and complimented him with a smile.

Yuan Shao twirled his mustache and smiled without saying a word.

"It's ridiculous that Cao Cao knew that the Lord was about to decide Hebei, but he still sent his troops south and got himself into the quagmire of fighting Yuan Shu."

"With Yuan Shu's strength, he was enough to hold off Cao Cao for a year and a half."

"When the Lord leads the troops from the four states and drives southward, let's see how Cao Cao resists!"

Guo Tu also had a sneer on his face, sketching a blueprint for Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao laughed loudly, looking arrogant and domineering, as if he was about to dominate the world.

The sound of horse hooves sounded.

Supervisor Jushou galloped over on his horse, rolled his saddle and dismounted.

"Lord, urgent report from eight hundred miles south of Huainan!"

"Cao Cao had wiped out Yuan Shu's 50,000 troops seven days ago. Yuan Shu was defeated, captured, and beheaded by Cao Cao!"

Yuan Shao's laughter stopped abruptly.
