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

"Mr. Zihuan is currently the eldest son of Mr. Cao, and will definitely inherit Mr. Cao’s legacy in the future."

"The young master admired Cao Cang Ling's talent, so he thought that in the future he and Cao Cang Ling could have a drink and talk about the world."

"Of course, Mr. Zihuan also had many doubts, and he had to ask Caocang Ling for advice."

After saying polite words, Sima Yi took advantage of the situation and tactfully expressed his intention to win over Cao Pi.

Cao Yuan understood this time.

This Sima Yi is here to be a lobbyist, trying to draw him into Cao Pi's family, and help him compete with Cao Zhi for the throne in the future!

I think! Understanding this, Cao Yuan smiled faintly:"Xiaoguan said that he only wanted to be a small official in the warehouse and had no intention of making a difference in his official career. I understand Master Zihuan's thoughts."

Sima Yi's face changed slightly.

Who is Cao Pi? He is Cao Cao's legitimate son and will inherit the Cao family's foundation in the future.

With such an unattainable status, a courteous and virtuous corporal deigns to win over you. This is already enough face for you.

You Why didn't you follow the path and refused the kind offer?

Sima Yi's face darkened:"Cao Cangling, Master Zihuan is——"

"You don’t have to talk nonsense anymore!"

Cao Yuan interrupted him, with a look of disdain on his eyebrows.

"Please ask Mr. Sima to go back and persuade Mr. Huan. The decisive battle between Cao Gong and Yuan Shao is imminent. The life and death of the Cao family depends on this battle."

"At this juncture, as the son of Duke Cao, he should focus on how to relieve Duke Cao's worries, instead of trying to win over people and focus on competing with his brother for the throne."

"If Duke Cao loses this battle, the foundation of the Cao family will be wiped out. Even if he wins, what can he do?"

"Let's wait until the Cao family survives this disaster to discuss matters like fighting for the heirloom."

Sima Yi froze on the spot, with a look of shock and astonishment.

Not only did he reject Cao Pi's offer, he even lectured Cao Pi!

Cao Pi is the son of Cao Cao, so he is the king.

As a minister, he dared to publicly lecture the king. This is also That's too rude.

Could it be that you are relying on your merits to the Cao family and relying on Cao Cao's favor, and are arrogant and have no respect for the emperor and his ministers?

"Cao Ziyou, what do you mean?"

"Are you trying to say that Mr. Zihuan only cares about his own selfishness and does not care about the overall situation of the Cao family? Sima

Yi's face darkened and he asked displeasedly.

Cao Yuan, however, did not bother to talk nonsense with him anymore and shouted:"Zhongkang, see you off!""

Sima Yi's expression changed again.

It's too rude to directly drive him away.

Xu Chu said coldly:"Sima, you have heard it, please."

"Cao Yuan, you——"

Sima Yi felt humiliated and glared at Cao Yuan angrily, clenching his fists secretly.

Xu Chu took a step forward, and the stone slab under his feet cracked.

This is a blatant warning.

If you keep talking nonsense here, I will crush you under my feet.

Sima Yi took half a step back, a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

"Cao Yuan, I will tell Master Zihuan truthfully what you said today. Don’t regret it!"

He snorted coldly and left angrily.

After leaving the mansion, Sima Yi got into the carriage full of resentment.

After the carriage took a few steps, Sima Yi looked back and saw another carriage parked at Cao's mansion. Enter.

A familiar figure stepped out of the carriage.

"Yang Xiu, why did he appear here?"

Sima Yi recognized the man and immediately became suspicious.

When he saw Yang Xiu knocking on Cao Yuan's door, he suddenly shuddered and realized.

Yang Xiu was Cao Zhi's confidant.

He was thousands of miles away. He came from Xudu with the same intention as himself, and came specifically to win over Cao Yuan for Cao Zhi.

"No wonder he rejected Master Zihuan's offer and dared to speak disrespectfully. Could it be that Yang Xiu had already taken a step ahead of me and won him over to Cao Zhi's sect?"

Thinking of this, Sima Yi took a breath of cold air.

"This man will definitely be a minister of Duke Cao in the future, and he is as wise as a demon. If he really surrenders to Cao Zhi, how can Master Zihuan win over him!"

"I have to go back to Xudu quickly and inform Mr. Zihuan to discuss a countermeasure."

The more Sima Yi thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He immediately rushed the carriage, hurried out of the city, and hurried back to Xudu.

In the Cao Mansion. After

Sima Yi was sent away, Cao Yuangang breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Yunwei entered, cupped his hands and said:"Young Master, please open the door. There is a man outside, who calls himself Yang Xiu, the son of the Yang family in Hongnong, and wants to visit the young master."

Another one!

The Yang family of the Hong family is the most prominent family in the world, and its status is even slightly better than that of the Yuan family in Runan.

Yang Xiugui is the eldest son of the Yang family, and he came all the way from Xudu to Fengcheng to visit him, a small official?

Cao Yuan sneered and understood the other party's intention.

Yang Xiu was Cao Zhi's confidant.

Naturally, the purpose of coming this time was the same as Sima Yi's, which was to win over him for Cao Zhi.

The two brothers of the Cao family were really brothers and lobbyists. Everyone is rushing to get there, front and back

"not see!"

Cao Yuan waved his hand crisply.

Yan Yunwei took the order and left.

Outside the door of the mansion.

Yang Xiu was pacing with his hands behind his hands, thinking about his words in his heart, preparing to use his sharp tongue to talk about Cao Yuan's enlightenment. Natou worshiped at the door of Cao Zhi

"My young master said, he’s gone!"

Yan Yunwei, who sent the message, replied coldly.

With a bang, the door closed.

Yang Xiu was stunned.

Did he get rejected?

There is no reason.

He wants an identity and a background. Then Cao Yuan There is no reason to refuse to see him.

Even if he is respected by Cao Cao, he shouldn't be so arrogant!

Yang Xiu frowned deeply and fell into confusion.

"Young Master, just now a Young Master came out of Cao's mansion and got on the carriage in front. He looked like Sima Yi."

The entourage around me reminded me

"Did you really read that right? Yang

Xiu's face changed slightly.

The follower said:"You are absolutely right. Last year, Xiao Xiao followed the master to celebrate his birthday at Sima's house in Hanoi. I saw that Sima Yi with my own eyes, and I will never admit my mistake.""

Yang Xiu stared at the departing carriage, his thoughts racing, and he suddenly realized.

Sima Yi is known as one of Cao Pi's four friends, and now he has come all the way to Fengcheng to visit Cao Yuan. He is obviously trying to win over this future pillar of the Cao family for Cao Pi.

"Cao Yuan knew my identity but still stayed behind closed doors. He must have been persuaded by Sima Yi to join Cao Pi!"

"This man holds a very important position and is extremely resourceful. If he falls to Cao Pi, how can Master Zijian win the throne of the Cao family?"

"I have to rush back to Xudu immediately and discuss countermeasures with Zijian and the others."

Yang Xiu immediately got into the carriage and hurriedly left the city.

In the Cao Mansion,

Xia Houjuan, who was packing his luggage, learned that his husband had first driven away Sima Yi and then rejected Yang Xiu, so he hurried over.

"Husband, those two people belong to the Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Master. If you drive them away so rudely, you are offending both Young Masters at the same time. This is not appropriate."

Xia Houjuan looked slightly uneasy.

"If you offend, you're offended, it's no big deal. Cao

Yuan disagreed, but ordered:"Madam, please clean up quickly, we are going to run away.""

"Run away?"

Xia Houjuan looked confused.

"Duke Cao is probably aware of my existence. As my husband, I can no longer serve as an official under Duke Cao. We should leave Xudu for a while."

Cao Yuan didn't hide anything and said frankly.

Xia Houjuan was taken aback and his expression changed immediately.
