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

Chapter 137

Guo Tu entered Cao's mansion with his front foot, and Cao Cao arrived with his back foot.

Because of Cao Yuan's permission, Yan Yunwei did not pass it on, so he let Cao Cao in.

Cao Cao saw that Guo Tu was also there, and he also tried to recruit Cao Yuan, so he listened quietly, wanting to see Cao Yuan's attitude.

Cao Yuan's performance really didn't disappoint him.

And when Guo Tu was arrogant, relying on Yuan Shao's strength, and wanted to threaten Cao Yuan, Cao Cao couldn't bear it anymore, so he showed up and walked out.

Guo Tu recognized it as Cao Cao, and immediately sweated on his forehead, looking embarrassed.

Yuan Shao is strong, but this is Xu Du, and in the end it is Cao Cao's territory.

On Cao Cao's territory, he spoke wildly, declaring that Yuan Shao was going to break through Xu Du, which was too wise.

"It turned out to be Cao Sikong. "

Guo Tuqiang pressed the embarrassment, a smile appeared on his face, and he arched his hand: "Xiaguan is thinking about going to Sikong Bafu tomorrow to visit Sikong, but I didn't expect Sikong to come to visit Cao Junshi, what a coincidence." "

"Guo Tu!"

Cao Cao stepped forward and looked at him coldly.

"You tell Yuan Shao for me, I, Cao Cao, have the assistance of a genius like Cao Ziyou, if he has the courage, even if he sends troops to attack. "

"Even if he has an army of millions, I will make him come and go, and he will regret it!"

Cao Cao was domineering and threatened Yuan Shao.

Guo Tu frowned, and in the face of Cao Cao's "arrogance", he was immediately enraged, and wanted to defend Yuan Shao's prestige on the spot.

"Cao Meng—"

As soon as the words came to his mouth, Guo Tu suddenly remembered the heavy responsibility of his trip.

He was ordered to come and ask for Yuan Tan and recruit Cao Yuan.

According to the current situation, Cao Yuan will definitely not be able to recruit him.

If Cao Cao is angered again, I am afraid that even Yuan Tan will not be able to claim it back, and how to deal with Yuan Shao when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Guo Tu had no choice but to swallow back his anger.

"Ahem, Cao Sikong was angry, and the lower officials were just in a hurry and said some angry words. "

"My family Yuan Gong has always respected the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, how could a good man go south and be an enemy of Cao Sikong. "

Guo Tu put on a smiling face, and he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore.

Cao Cao snorted coldly, and the solemnity on his face was slightly retracted.

Guo Tu's thoughts were racing, and he pondered how to open his mouth and ask Cao Cao for Yuan Tan.

Then.

Cao Yuan arched his hand and said sharply: "Sikong, please ask Sikong to play the Son of Heaven and behead Yuan Tan on the charge of being a traitor!"

As soon as these words came out, Guo Tu's expression changed in shock.

He never expected that Cao Yuan would put Yuan Tan to death!

Even Cao Cao's expression changed slightly, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

You must know that although he knew that Yuan Shao would have to go south sooner or later, he was afraid of Yuan Shao's strength, and he still didn't want to start a war with him until he had to.

Killing Yuan Tan is equivalent to completely tearing his face with Yuan Shao.

There is no way back except for fighting each other.

"Yuan Shao has the ambition to swallow the world and change the dynasty, which is well known to everyone in the world. "

Now that he has taken the four states of Hebei, it is only a matter of time before he relies on his strong army and strong horses, and he will go south and start a war with Sikong. "

"In this case, why should Sikong have any more concerns, and simply behead that Yuan Tan, in order to show my Cao family soldiers that Sikong is not afraid of Yuan Shao and is determined to fight to the death!"

Cao Yuan's voice was solemn and explained his reasons to Cao Cao.

Naturally, he also has his own selfish motives.

If it weren't for Yuan Shao's arrogance and conceit, Guo Tu's rampant threat, Cao Cao killed Yuan Tan or not, he didn't care.

But now, he had to kill Yuan Tan.

He wants to borrow Yuan Tan's head to make Yuan Shao and Guo Tu understand what a tragic price to pay for threatening me Cao Yuan!

Cao Cao's heart was worried, and he was shattered by Cao Yuan's words.

"Ziyou is reasonable!"

Cao Cao's murderous anger was furious, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Dian Wei, quickly ask the Son of Heaven to issue an edict and kill the traitor Yuan Tan!"

"No!"

Dian Wei received the order.

Guo Tu was greatly frightened, and said hurriedly: "Cao Sikong must not listen to this Cao Yuan's words, and rashly kill my eldest son, my lord has no intention of waving his army to the south, let alone being an enemy of Cao Sikong!"

"Won't be my enemy?"

Cao Cao asked coldly: "In this case, why did his 40,000 soldiers and horses invade Xuzhou and be killed by me with a river of blood?"

"It's-"

Guo Tu was sweating on his forehead, and said hurriedly: "That is also the eldest prince's own opinion, and he has not been authorized by Yuan Gong, not Yuan Gong's intention." "

Cao Cao snorted coldly: "That is, Yuan Benchu is incompetent and has no way to teach his son, then let me clean the door for him and kill his disobedient son!"

Guo Tu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't know how to explain it.

"Zhongkang, don't send off guests yet!"

Cao Yuan disdained to talk nonsense with him anymore.

Xu Chu took a step forward and shouted: "Guo Zhi, Gong Cao and Gongzi don't want to listen to your noise anymore, please." "

Guo Tu understood that Cao Cao was "bewitched" by Cao Yuan, and he was determined to kill Yuan Tan, and no matter what he said, it was irreparable.

The panic on his face turned to grief and anger in the blink of an eye.

"Cao Mengde, you have figured it out, the eldest prince is the eldest son of Yuan Gongyan!"

"If you kill him, you will completely break with Yuan Gong, and there will be no room for manoeuvre. "

"When Yuan Gong was furious, 200,000 male soldiers waved south, what the consequences would be, you should know very well!"

Guo Tu had to move out of Yuan Shao's strength again, wanting to use this to make Cao Cao jealous.

Cao Cao was disdainful, and said proudly: "I have Ziyou, which can be worth a million troops, Yuan Shao wants to follow in the footsteps of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, and let him attack even if he releases his horse!"

Guo Tu's body was shocked, and he was shocked by Cao Cao's self-confidence, and he couldn't say half a word anymore.

"Okay, well, Cao Sikong's words, I will take them all back to Yuan Gong without missing a word. "

"Cao Sikong is so self-cherishing, farewell!"

Guo Tu had no choice but to flick his sleeves and leave angrily.

After Guo Tu was gone, Cao Yuan hurriedly invited Cao Cao to a seat, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Sikong Shicai is really domineering, this is the real hero's spirit!"

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and patted Cao Yuan on the shoulder: "Domineering is domineering, but he completely turned his face with Yuan Shao, the army of the Yuan army is coming, Ziyou, whether our Cao family can stop Yuan Shao's thunderous anger depends on you." "

Cao Yuan was slightly stunned.

What do you call our Cao family?

Although we are all surnamed Cao, my Cao is not the same thing as your Boss Cao's Cao.

Thinking that Cao Cao might have unintentionally lost his words, Cao Yuan didn't think much about it, and arched his hand: "Yuanzi should do my best to help Sikong win this battle of life and death." "

"Okay, well, with your words, I'm done. "

Cao Yuan looked a little relieved, and said: "Actually, I came this time because I received some of the latest Hebei secret reports, and I want to discuss with you." "

"I want to hear about it. "

Cao Yuan added a teacup to Cao Cao.

According to Xi Zuoyu, on the way to Yecheng, Liu Bei got a famous sword-casting general named Pu Yuan. "

"This person made a treasure knife of 5,000 mouths for Yuan Shao, which is known to have sharpened iron as clay. "

"Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are several times larger than mine, and now he has these five thousand treasure swords, which is even more powerful. "

Cao Cao sipped tea and explained the reason, and there was a little jealousy in his words.

"A sword as sharp as clay..."

Cao Yuan was thoughtful.

After a moment, his eyes lit up, and he already had a thought in his heart.

"Sikong doesn't need to worry, Yuan Shao has a treasure knife, and Sikong will also have a treasure knife!"

Cao Yuan's smile was meaningful.

Cao Cao was stunned, and he still failed to comprehend the meaning of Cao Yuan's words.

"Luoyang is close to the Hedong Iron Mine, and I heard that Sikong had asked General Cao Zixiao, who was guarding Luoyang, a few months ago, to create a batch of ring-headed knives and store them in the Luoyang arsenal. "

"I would like to ask Sikong to allow me to go to Luoyang and hand over this batch of ring head knives to me to take care of. "

"Within a month, I promise to present Sikong with a batch of treasure knives comparable to the Pu Yuan Knife. "

Cao Yuan was unhurried and said his intentions.

The Small Vault system not only buffs, but also upgrades.

An ordinary bow can buff the Divine Arm Bow, so an ordinary ring-headed knife must also be able to gain a stronger sword.

Cao Cao's spirits were lifted, and he said curiously: "Ziyou, could it be that you are also proficient in the art of sword casting and can create a treasure knife for me?"

Cao Yuan coughed lightly.

Cao Cao suddenly remembered the agreement between the two, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's still have the old rules, I don't ask, just follow what you say." "

...

Yecheng.

Inside the main hall of the state capital.

A map of the Central Plains is hanging high on the wall.

Yuan Shao stood in front of the map with his hands in his hands, staring at where Xu Du was, listening to the strategies of the strategists on how to move south.

Some people advocate that the army should move south head-on, relying on absolute strength, step by step, and approach Xudu.

Some people believe that they should garrison Liyang, induce Cao Cao's main force to gather on the south bank, and then divide his troops to plunder his flank.

The strategists had their own opinions, and they were at odds for a while.

Yuan Shao's face always had a look of ambition.

He has absolute confidence in his own strength.

No matter what kind of strategy is adopted, the final result is that he will win and Cao Cao will lose.

"Lord, lord~~"

A desolate and anxious voice rang out.

Yuan Shao turned around and saw Guo Tu stumbling in.

"Is the prince back? "

"What about Tan Erren, can that Cao Yuan come back with you?"

Yuan Shao had not yet noticed that Guo Tu's expression was abnormal, and he confidently thought that Guo Tu would be able to claim back Yuan Tan on this trip, and recruited Cao Yuan.

Plop!

Guo Tu knelt in front of Yuan Shao.

"Lord, that Cao Yuan not only didn't know how to raise and refused to come to serve the lord, but he also instigated Cao Cao to execute the eldest prince in the name of the Son of Heaven~~"

Guo Tu was full of grief and indignation and told the bad news.

Yuan Shao's body froze, his brain buzzed, and his old face froze for a moment.
