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

Xiaopei City, the private residence of the Cao family.

Xiaopei is connected to Xuzhou in the south, Qingzhou in the north, and Yanzhou in the west. It also has the Si River flowing through it, making it a strategic location on land and water.

According to Cao Yuan's investment logic, Xiaopei's real estate is a veritable value depression.

So after Cao Jun captured Xiaopei, Cao Yuan entered the city and purchased several luxury houses in prime locations as usual.

If you want to be Cao Cao's military advisor, you have to make money, so you have to grab it with both hands.

Inside the house, the aroma fills your nostrils.

Cao Yuan was enjoying a long-lost meal of deer meat hot pot.

His wife Xia Houjuan and Xiao Qiao followed Mi Zhen to Mi's house to help arrange Mi Fang's funeral.

When you're having fun sizzling

"Fragrant, so fragrant!"

"Ziyou, if I guessed correctly, you must be eating hot pot again."

A familiar voice sounded outside the door.

Cao Yuan looked back and saw Cao Cao already dressed in casual clothes and walking in with a smile.

Boss Cao came to visit, and Cao Yuan had to put down his bowls and chopsticks and stood up to greet him.

"Ziyou, please sit down quickly, don't be so formal."

Cao Cao stepped forward and pressed Cao Yuan down, and said with a smile:"There is no Cao Sikong today, only Lao Wang next door. We can still be as casual as before."

Cao Yuan thought, are you teasing me?

Now that your identity as Sikong has been revealed, do I still dare to do what I did before, calling you brothers after drinking too much?

I'm not stupid.....

Cao Yuan just smiled and said nothing.

"Ziyou, I’ve come here, don’t you want me to try it?"

Cao Cao glanced at the hot pot and couldn't help being greedy.

Cao Yuan hurriedly asked someone to buy a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao also ignored Sikong's image and wolfed down the hot pot, praising the delicious food. , so fragrant!"

After washing down several kilograms of meat, Cao Cao burped and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Ziyou, according to our plan, after capturing Xiaopei, the next step is to take advantage of the situation to destroy Lu Bu and take over Xuzhou."

"Do you have any ideas on how to use the troops next?"

Cao Cao took a sip of wine and finally got to the point.

Cao Yuan sighed secretly, knowing that there must be something wrong with Boss Cao coming to the door.

Sure enough, he was asking for advice again.

"Lao Cao, why are you doing this? I am your military advisor. If you want to ask about strategies, just ask. How dare I not tell you?...."

Cao Yuan sighed secretly.

After that, he said calmly:"Sikong must have a strategy, I would like to hear the details."

"I think that to destroy Lu Bu, a two-pronged approach is needed"

"One of them is to wait for the subsequent horses to be assembled, then march directly to Pi and trap Lu Bu in the isolated city."

"The second one was to appoint Zang Ba and Chen Deng as the Prime Minister of Langxie and the Grand Administrator of Guangling in the name of the Emperor, so as to appease these two local forces in Xuzhou and prevent them from rescuing Lu Bu."

"As a result, Lu Bu's foreign aid was cut off and he was trapped in the isolated city of Xiapi. Sooner or later, he would die!"

Cao Cao eloquently explained the strategy he had formulated in his mind.

"Sikong's two-pronged strategy is indeed the best strategy to kill Lu Bu and take over Xuzhou!"

"Sikong's military tactics are far superior to those of Liu Bei and Lu Bu. How can these two thieves be undefeated?"

Cao Yuan nodded in agreement and complimented Cao Cao.

After receiving high praise from his son and military advisor, Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled, with a bit of pride on his brows.

"So, Ziyou, do you agree with my military strategy?"

Cao Cao asked.

Cao Yuan smiled and said:"This is natural. With Sikong's strategy of using troops, I believe that within two months, we will be able to capture Xiapi and kill Lu Bu!"

"good!"

Cao Cao was greatly refreshed and said,"Ziyou, you are sure that there are no plans left, and even you agree with my strategy, then I can relax."

After getting the answer he wanted, Cao Cao's appetite increased greatly, and he picked up the bowl and chopsticks to continue cooking.

"However, although Lu Bu is a brave man, Chen Gong is very wise. I am afraid that he will not let Lu Bu retreat to Xiapi and be besieged by Sikong's army."

Cao Yuan's words suddenly changed, giving Cao Cao a turning point.

Cao Cao immediately became alert.

At the time of Yanzhou, Chen Gong assisted Lu Bu, but almost forced him to a dead end.

After suffering such a big loss, Chen Gong had a few pounds. He still knew how many taels it was. He put down the bowls and chopsticks.

Cao Cao hurriedly asked:"Then according to Ziyou, what plan will Chen Gong give Lu Bu to deal with us?" Cao

Yuan did not answer, but asked:"Sikong, if I guess correctly, has Lu Bu led his army to retreat south and threatened to retreat to Xiapi?""

Cao Cao's expression changed slightly.

This news had just been sent by the scouts, and no one else knew about it except him.

After he received the news, he came to Cao Yuan immediately.

But he did not expect that Lu Bu's retreat had already begun. According to Cao Yuan's calculation,

"Ziyou really knew what was going on. After Liu Bei defected, Lu Bu immediately went south and retreated to Xiapi."

Cao Cao clicked his tongue in admiration.

Cao Yuan said calmly:"Xiaopei is the barrier of Xiapi. Once it is lost, our army will be able to march straight into the hinterland of Xuzhou and surround Xiapi. I don't think Lu Bu would give up Xiaopei so easily. Out?"

Cao Cao's thoughts changed, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp.

"Could it be that Ziyou thought that Lu Bu was pretending to retreat and show weakness?"

He immediately guessed what Cao Yuan meant.

Cao Yuan nodded slightly and sneered:"In my opinion, Lu Bu pretended to retreat to Xiapi just to let our army be less prepared. At this moment, he has probably led a light army. , came along the trail to sneak attack on me, Xiaopei!"

Cao Yuan exposed Lu Bu's plot.

Cao Cao suddenly realized it and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

"Then Chen Gong does have such a plan, but I actually ignored it."

"Fortunately, I have Ziyou. If he hadn't seen through it in time, I would have been attacked by Lu Bu without any precautions, and the consequences would have been disastrous!"

After Cao Cao secretly rejoiced, the hot pot no longer tasted good, so he stood up and left immediately.

Naturally, he was going to summon the generals to arrange how to prevent Lu Bu's sneak attack.

After seeing off Boss Cao, there was no need to tighten the atmosphere. Cao Yuan could finally be at peace. Peace of mind, enjoy this hot pot to yourself.

A piece of boiled deer meat was just about to be delivered to your mouth.

Yan Yunwei entered, cupped his hands and said:"Master Qi, a young man in white came outside the door, claiming that he can save his life." I came here specifically to express my gratitude for your kindness."
