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

While Cao Cao was still waiting to take a closer look, Cao Yuan had already put on a clean gown and took the jade pendant.

Cao Cao had no choice but to ask:"Ziyou, where did your jade pendant come from?"

"This jade pendant is just a relic of my late mother."

Cao Yuan put the jade pendant in his arms and patted Cao Cao on the shoulder,"Come on, Mr. Wang, I'll drink a glass of wine with you to calm down the shock."

Cao Cao had no choice but to temporarily forget about the jade pendant.

After a while, the two of them were sitting in the main hall, drinking and talking.

"Ziyou, after losing this battle, what do you think our Duke Cao should do next?"

Cao Cao personally filled up the wine for Cao Yuan, hoping to trick him out of the strategy.

Cao Yuan sipped the wine and said disapprovingly:"How else can we go? I will naturally return to Xudu to regain my strength."

"But Wancheng was gained and lost again, and the threat from the south of Xudu has not been eliminated. I am afraid that our Duke Cao will have trouble sleeping and eating."

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, then picked up the wine glass and brought it to his mouth.

Cao Yuan smiled and said:"Don't worry, that Zhang Xiu will surrender to Duke Cao sooner or later!"

"Um?"

Cao Cao shook his hand and spilled half of the wine.

"Zhang Xiu surrendered and rebelled, causing Cao Cao to suffer such a disastrous defeat. Countless soldiers were killed and injured. What a great hatred he forged!"

"You said he would surrender to Duke Cao again. Does he have the courage?"

Cao Cao's eyes were unbelievable.

Of course Cao Yuan would not tell him that Zhang Xiu would surrender to Cao Cao again under Jia Xu's persuasion on the eve of the decisive battle at Guandu.

"I'm just making random guesses. Mr. Wang, please don't take it seriously."

"Come on, let's drink."

Cao Yuan looked around and talked about him. He raised his glass with a smile and drank it all.

Cao Cao sighed:"Even if Zhang Xiu surrenders in the future, I'm afraid Duke Cao won't be able to swallow this breath. Ziyou, what do you mean, Duke Cao? Is there no chance to turn defeat into victory?"

"There's a chance, but it's not impossible."

Perhaps it was due to the effect of the alcohol, Cao Yuan became less worried and talked more.

But Cao Cao's eyes brightened, and he approached anxiously and asked:"In the opinion of the wise brother Yi Ziyou, how can Duke Cao turn defeat into victory?"

"Zhang Xiu defeated our army, now he must be arrogant and arrogant"

"If I were Cao Sikong, I would pretend to be killed by an arrow and mourn in Ye County."

"After Zhang Xiu learned about it, he would rush in with little force and desperately pursue the pursuit northward."

"At this time, Cao Sikong could take advantage of Zhang Xiu's underestimation of the enemy. As long as he set up an ambush halfway, he would be able to severely damage him and make Xuewancheng suffer a humiliating defeat!"

"If you are lucky, you might be able to ambush Zhang Xiu and take advantage of the situation to regain Wancheng!"

Cao Yuan sipped the wine in the cup and talked about a strategy.

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart.

"Wonderful, this is really a clever plan to turn defeat into victory!"

"When I met Cao Ziyou here, God really blessed me, Cao Cao!"

Cao Yuan was secretly glad in his heart, and the hand holding the cup was shaking with excitement.

While he was excited, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes immediately turned gray again.

"Although your plan is brilliant, Ziyou, unfortunately, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and almost everyone was injured."

"With such a defeated army full of wounded soldiers, even if Zhang Xiu could be lured northward, it would be difficult to ambush him and win."

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, his eyes helpless.

Cao Yuan said disapprovingly:"It doesn't matter if you are injured, just give the soldiers some medicine to cure them, and then go to the battlefield as long as they can afford weapons."

"You said it quite easily."

Cao Cao said with bitter eyes:"We have lost all our military resources in this battle, and all the medicinal materials in your care have fallen into the hands of the enemy.....Cao Sikong asked him what he could use to treat the soldiers' wounds."

An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Cao Yuan's mouth.

The opportunity to make a fortune has come again.

"To be honest, Master Wang, I have more than a thousand kilograms of medicinal materials stored in the backyard of my house, which are excellent medicine for treating external injuries."

"If the king is willing, he can purchase it for Duke Cao. In this way, Duke Cao will have medicine to treat the injuries of the soldiers."

Cao Yuan pointed towards the backyard with a smile.

As soon as he said this,

Cao Cao was shocked, and his gray and helpless eyes turned into surprise in an instant.

He was short of medicine, and Cao Yuan said that he had medicine. It was a timely help!

"No, why did he gather so many medicinal materials in advance?"

"Is it possible that he had predicted that Zhang Xiu would surrender and rebel again before the Southern Expedition, and that I would suffer a disastrous defeat and urgently needed medicinal materials to treat the wounded soldiers?"

"So he stocked up on medicinal materials here a month in advance, just waiting to make a fortune?"

Cao Cao couldn't help but shuddered as he understood the mystery.

Excellent counselors like Xun Yu and Guo Jia could at most predict the direction of the war situation in one step or two or three steps.

But the young man in front of him could predict every aspect of the war situation. Every step can be calculated accurately.

It can even calculate the direction ten steps away.

This kind of planning ability has truly reached a terrifying level!

"Of course, the benefits of Master Wang’s book will naturally not be less."

"It’s still the old rule, we will divide the money earned from Cao Sikong 50/50."

Cao Cao Yuan saw that he was absent-minded and silent, so he thought he was hinting at himself and asking for benefits.

Cao Cao's thoughts returned to reality.

"He earns my money and gives me a 50-50 split. This guy is really, ugh~~"

Cao Cao was secretly helpless and could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

Cao Yuan laughed, raised his glass and said:"I will nod as the king's secretary. Come, drink this cup. Congratulations on making another windfall."

Cao Cao felt bitter in his heart, but he still had to smile and pretend to be happy. of drinking.

Drink the wine.

Cao Cao was worried:"Although we have these medicinal materials, it will take some time to heal the soldiers' injuries. I'm afraid that I won't have enough time to gather the soldiers who can fight.""

"You don’t have to worry about this, Mr. Wang. Cao

Yuan smiled confidently,"These medicinal materials in Xiaguan are my own secret recipes. The therapeutic effect is several times that of ordinary medicinal materials. I guarantee that the soldiers' injuries can be cured in time.""

Cao Cao's heart was shocked, and surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.
