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

"Chen and his son?"

Cao Cao looked dubious.

Back then, he avenged his father and attacked Xuzhou, but he killed many people, and the people of Xuzhou hated him.

The Chen family was a prominent family in Xuzhou, and had supported Liu Bei and Lu Bu to rise to power. Would they secretly submit to themselves?

"Of course the people of Xuzhou hate Duke Cao, and I believe the Chen family and his son are no exception."

Cao Yuan saw what Cao Cao was thinking, but the conversation changed again.

"But as the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

"At this moment, the interests of Chen's father and son are consistent with Cao Gong, so they naturally have the basis to turn enemies into friends."

After hearing these words, Cao Cao's eyes moved, and he had a vague understanding.

"Then according to Ziyou, how come the Chen family and his son have common interests with Cao Gong?"

Cao Cao asked with great interest.

"Speaking of profit, in my uncle's opinion, what is the biggest profit for the Chen family and his son?"

Cao Yuan didn't answer, but asked something meaningful.

After Cao Cao pondered for a while, he said:"For his father and his son, it is naturally the greatest benefit for Xuzhou to be stable and peaceful without war. Not only for the Chen family, but also for the states. This is true for all noble families"

"Uncle can think of this level, the structure is amazing, Cao Gong still doesn't give you a promotion, you are really underestimating your talents."

Cao Yuan gave a thumbs up, and took the opportunity to defend Cao Cao.

Cao Cao smiled awkwardly, thinking that this was obviously a compliment to me, why did it sound so awkward?...

"If Chen and his son want to ensure peace in Xuzhou, they will definitely support a strong man as the lord of Xuzhou."

"Therefore, after Liu Bei helped Tao Qian to resist our Duke Cao's attack, the Chen family took a fancy to Liu Bei's talents, and together with the Mi family, they supported him as the shepherd of Xuzhou."

"After Liu Bei was defeated by Yuan Shu and captured Xuzhou by Lu Bu, Chen and his son saw that Lu Bu was stronger than Liu Bei, so they immediately turned to Lu Bu."

"Therefore, judging from the behavior of Chen and his son, they have no loyalty at all. They will support whoever is more tyrannical and can hold Xuzhou."

"As for whether it's Liu Bei or Lu Bu, they don't care who becomes the state pastor at all."

"If it were a dog that could dominate the world, I guess they would also support this dog as Xuzhou's herdsman!"

Cao Yuan had a sneer on his face, and took off the underwear of Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son.

His analysis spoke to Cao Cao's heart and made him deeply moved.

Most of the people in the world only care about themselves. There are very few people who can care about the interests of the state.

Back then, he and Chen Gong were sworn friends.

But Chen Gong, because he continued to use troops abroad and harmed the interests of their Yanzhou family, really betrayed him. Lu Bu took control of Xuzhou and almost forced him to a dead end.

"Ziyou hit the nail on the head, this is the world....."

Cao Cao secretly sighed in his heart

"Let's talk about Yuan Shu, this man was extravagant and greedy, and not a blade of grass grew where he passed!"

"Both Nanyang back then and Huainan today were harmed by him to the point where the people were in dire straits and all businesses were depressed."

"If Yuan Shu annexes Xuzhou, Xuzhou will definitely follow in the footsteps of Huainan. Not only will the people be tortured, but the noble families will not be able to escape Yuan Shu's clutches."

"Uncle thinks, will Chen and his son allow Lu Bu to continue to rely on Yuan Shu?"

Cao Yuan ended his comprehensive analysis with a rhetorical question.

At this time, Cao Cao was enlightened, and the dark clouds in front of his eyes cleared.

"Yes, Chen and his son will not let Xuzhou fall into the hands of Yuan Shu. They can only secretly join Cao Gong and drive a wedge between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu!"

Cao Cao said happily.

Cao Yuan smiled and gave a thumbs up:"Uncle, you really have an extraordinary pattern. Just one point makes it clear."

Cao Cao didn't care whether Cao Yuan was really praising him or ridiculing him. He jumped up and was about to leave.

"Why is uncle leaving again, it's almost dinner time, why doesn't he stay for dinner?"

"Let's have barbecue tonight."

Cao Yuan persuaded you enthusiastically.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said:"You young couple have just gotten married, so I, an old man, will not disturb you and take my leave."

After that, he turned around and left with a long stride.

"He came twice a day and said he didn’t want to disturb us....."

Cao Yuan watched him go away, muttering in his mouth

"Young Master, you said you wanted to have barbecue tonight. What do you mean by barbecue?"

Gan Mei's voice sounded behind him.

When Cao Yuan turned around, he saw all of them looking at him blankly.

…

The next day, Sikong Mansion.

Cao Cao once again summoned Xun Yu and other important ministers to discuss matters.

Everyone is well aware that today's topic is naturally about Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor.

Before Cao Cao's people arrived, discussions started one after another.

Whether to attack Yuan Shu or not, and how to attack Yuan Shu, everyone couldn't decide, but they couldn't come up with a perfect plan.

Footsteps sounded.

Cao Cao stepped into the main hall with a proud look on his face.

Just when everyone was silent and bowing, waiting for Cao Cao to ask them if they had any good strategies to deal with Yuan Shu.

But Cao Cao shouted:"Xun Wenruo

, listen to the order!""

"You immediately ask the emperor to draw up a decree, appoint Sun Ce as the general against rebellion, control the counties east of the Yangtze River, and raise troops to cross the river to attack Yuan Shu!"

Cao Cao gave the order solemnly.

The expressions of the ministers were refreshed.

Xun Yu's eyes flashed, and he said in surprise:"Sikong is trying to drive away wolves and swallow tigers. He wants to use Sun Ce to weaken Yuan Shu, or even deal with Yuan Shu?"

"Wen Ruo thinks, what is my method?"

Cao Cao asked with a smile while stroking his beard.

"Sun Ce is known as the Little Overlord. He is quite ambitious and will not be willing to be subordinate to others."

"This time Yuan Shu arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor, it was indeed a great opportunity for the imperial court to seize the opportunity to win over Sun Ce and persuade him to betray Yuan Shu."

"Sikong’s plan is brilliant!"

_ Yuan Shu's foundation"

"What Zhong De said makes sense

"Yu thought that since we could persuade Sun Ce to rebel, why not try to alienate Lu Bu and make him also turn against Yuan Shu?"

"At this time, Yuan Shu was so angry that he would definitely mobilize all his troops to attack Lu Bu. Our army could take advantage of the situation and move south to defeat Shouchun in one fell swoop!"

Xun Yu was inspired and immediately thought of a way to alienate Lu Bu.

"Although Ziyou has a clever plan, my Wenruo and Xunshi Bada reputation are not in vain."

"Sure enough, he also thought of a plan to alienate Lu Bu, but it was just a little later than Zi You."

Cao Cao nodded slightly, with relief in his eyes.

He nodded and said,"What Wen Ruo said is right. I also want to alienate Yuan Shu and Lu Bu and let them bite each other, so that I can benefit from it."

The words just fell.

Cheng Yu said again:"Lu Bu has Chen Gong by his side. This man is very resourceful. If we want to implement the alienation plan, it is not easy. Xun

Yu frowned, and Cheng Yu's reminder made him worry again. Cao

Cao sneered disdainfully:"Chen Gong is indeed very resourceful, but there are people in Xuzhou who are more resourceful than him. They are willing to be my internal agents and carry out tasks for me." This alienation plan!"

Everyone's expressions were shocked.

Xun Yu looked suspicious and asked curiously:"I wonder who Sikong is referring to?"

Before he could say anything, a Tiger Guard hurriedly came in, cupped his hands and said,"I am reporting to Sikong that Chen Deng, the envoy from Xuzhou, is outside asking for an audience."

Chen Deng?

When Xun Yu and others heard this name, their eyes were suspicious for a moment and they had not yet reacted.

Cao Cao sighed meaningfully:"The affairs of the world and the people of the world are all under Ziyou's control...."
