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

“How did Fujun conclude that Duke Cao knew of Fujun’s existence?”

Xia Hou Juan tried his best to suppress his emotions and tried to dispel Cao Yuan’s speculation.

Cao Yuan pointed out the door: “The two brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi know my existence and sent someone to encircle me, Madame Jue, our Cao Gong still doesn’t know about being a husband?” ”

“Maybe: Maybe those two sons were just simple corporal Lixian, but they didn’t know the identity of their husbands. ”

Xia Hou Juan continued to be far-fetched.

“No matter how respectful the two of them are, it is impossible for them to send their masters to encircle an ordinary little official who travels thousands of miles.”

“They must know that it is my strategy for Cao Gong, and when they hear that Cao Gong wants to reuse my wind, they will come to rush to encircle.”

Xia Hou was speechless.

Things have developed to this point, she really has no reason to question Cao Yuan’s calculations again.

“Alas, my husband is also a little self-deceived, always thinking that he can fool the past.”

“Actually, I should have expected that paper can’t contain the fire, and with Cao Gong’s wisdom, sooner or later it will dig me out.”

Cao Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, laughing at himself.

Xia Hou Juan was silent, and his thoughts turned in his heart.

After a long time.

She took a deep breath and said squarely: “Husband, Juan’er has some words, I don’t know if I should say it?” ”

“You and my husband and wife, what can’t be said, what do you want to say.”

Cao Yuan said, already taking out the map, pondering where to avoid.

Xiahou Juan said, “The husband also said that the Duke of Cao is a generation of heroes, so why can’t the husband assist the Duke of Cao, so he has to avoid it?” ”

This time it was Cao Yuan’s turn to be unable to answer.

Earlier, he was reluctant to assist Cao Cao because he had a system and wanted to make a fortune in a low-key manner.

But now, with his wealth, he has long been rich enough to rival the country, and he can’t spend it in a few lifetimes.

The previous rationale seems somewhat untenable.

“A companion is like a tiger, working hard, carefully being Cao Gong’s adviser, how can he be as comfortable as he is now.”

Cao Yuan thought of a new reason.

Xiahou Juan said: “Since he married his husband, he has long found that although he likes money, he has a heart for both prosperity, otherwise Liu Bei’s army came to attack Fengcheng that day, and his husband would not care about the lives of the people of the city, and he would not flee alone.” ”

Cao Yuan’s heart was cold, touched by his wife’s words.

“Fujun also said that Duke Cao is the hero who can truly rule the world and let the people enjoy peace again.”

“And the husband also has the people in mind, why can’t he assist Cao Gong to rule the world and return the people a peace?”

Xia Hou Juan stared into his eyes and asked with a solemn expression.

Cao Yuan was silent.

“Besides.”

“If Duke Cao rules the world in the future, and the whole world is his, where can you hide, husband?”

Xia Hou Juan’s tone softened a little, and he pointed to the map of Nuoda and said.

Cao Yuan’s heart was shocked, and he suddenly realized.

The wife is right, the surname Cao is all over the world, where else can I avoid?

Go to the Western Regions to eat sand, go to the grasslands to drink the northwest wind, or go far overseas?

The world is prosperous, where else is comparable to the Central Plains, leaving here, there is nowhere to spend the money of the rich and rival countries.

But if he lives in seclusion in the Central Plains, even if Cao Cao has the strength to be dominant and does not force him to assist, will he let himself go after Cao Pi succeeds to the throne in the future?

Cao Pi was notoriously careful, and almost anyone who offended him had no good end.

“Madame is reasonable, you let your husband think about it…”

Cao Yuan re-planned, and was no longer in a hurry to slip away for a while.

Xia Hou Juan was secretly relieved.

…

Xiaopeicheng.

Liu Bei leaned weakly, still suffering from eye injuries.

“Lord Qiyu, we lost half of our soldiers and horses in the battle of Fengcheng, and now we have less than three thousand soldiers available.”

“Lord, our existing money can no longer support three thousand soldiers and horses, and I am afraid that we will have to reduce another thousand soldiers to barely maintain it.”

The military generals reported one by one.

One bad news after another made Liu Bei’s body and mind worse, and he couldn’t stop sighing.

“Lord Qiyu, Xu Du is in a hurry!”

“Cao Cao has personally led an army of 40,000 and is rushing towards my Xiaopei!”

The guards hurried inside and dealt Liu Bei another heavy blow.

Liu Bei shivered, not caring about the eye injury, and struggled to sit up.

“Victory and defeat are just a common thing in soldiers, you don’t have to be discouraged, we are not undefeated!”

“Cheer me up, think about how to hold Xiaopei, and retreat from the enemy Cao Thief!”

Liu Bei endured the pain, and forced a somewhat calm smile on his face.

The spirits of the crowd lifted slightly.

Zhang Fei shouted: “Cao thief is coming, let’s fight him to the death, the big deal is to fight to the death!” ”

“Never!”

Zhao Yun immediately objected, “Cao Cao has tens of thousands of male soldiers, our army is only more than 2,000 remnants, this battle is not a fish dead net broken, but a pebble to hit a stone!” ”

Zhang Fei was dumbfounded.

“What Zilong said is not unreasonable.”

“But if we don’t fight to the death, will we abandon the city and flee to become dogs who have lost our families?”

Guan Yu asked with a gloomy face.

Liu Bei’s fists clenched slightly.

Xuzhou had fallen to Lü Bu, and Xiaopei was a foothold he had easily gained.

If you abandon it again, you will return to the old days of holding back under the fence and looking at people’s eyes.

Wouldn’t the fruits of half a life’s struggle be in vain?

Liu Bei was unwilling.

Zhao Yun sighed: “But if you don’t abandon the city and stick to it, it can only be a dead end.” ”

Liu Bei was stunned.

“I, Liu Bei, was actually forced to such a point by Cao Yuan’s little official, hateful~~”

He pounded his fist and gritted his teeth.

Then.

Sun Qian’s eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, “Lord, before we reached the end of the mountains and rivers, Qian thought that we still had two reinforcements available to help us hold Xiaopei and retreat from Cao Cao.” ”

Liu Bei’s spirits lifted, and he asked urgently: “Who is the reinforcement that Zi Zhong said?” ”

“If Xiao Pei loses, Xia Pi will face the Cao army directly, how can Lü Bu not be afraid.”

“If the Lord sends someone to ask Lü Bu for help, I believe he will use his troops in Xuzhou to come to the rescue.”

Sun Qian turned and pointed north.

“There is also Yuan Tan, the eldest son of the Yuan family, who has now captured Qingzhou.”

“The war between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is already the consensus of the people of the world, and the Yuan family will definitely not allow Cao Cao to swallow Xiaopei and then collect Xuzhou.”

“The Lord can send another person north to Qingzhou, and he will definitely be able to persuade Yuan Tan to lead his army to the south to help.”

“We just need to hold Xiaopei and hold on until the two reinforcements arrive, and the inside and outside should be combined, so why worry that we can’t repel Cao Cao.”

Sun Qian’s plan was spoken, and the clouds in the hall were suddenly dispersed.

From Liu Bei to Zhang Fei, they were all in great spirits.

“Well, Gongyu’s plan is very clever!”

Liu Bei’s eyes didn’t hurt anymore, and he said cheerfully: “You and Jian Yong, one south and one north, immediately set out to ask Yuan Tan and Lv Bu for help!” ”

“No!”

The two took orders.

Liu Bei was relieved, and the physical and mental pain seemed to be relieved.

“Cao Cao, even if that Cao Yuan is really a conspirator behind your scenes.”

“I, Liu Bei, will never give up Xiaopei!”

…

Four days later.

Cao Cao led 5,000 soldiers and horses, lightly armed first, joined the defenders of Xiahou Yuan’s 1,000 Fengcheng and entered Xiaopei City.

The following army of more than 30,000 was still on the road, and 6,000 soldiers and horses were not enough to besiege the city, so Cao Cao only ordered to set up camp in the north of the city.

Chinese military tent.

Cao Cao stood with his hands in his hands, staring at the map of Xuzhou.

“According to the detailed information, Liu Bei has sent Jian Yong and Sun Qian to ask Yuan Tan and Lü Bu for help respectively.”

“If our army can’t capture Xiaopei as soon as possible, wait for the two reinforcements to meet under the city, and join forces with Liu Beili, we will fall into passivity.”

Guo Jia pointed to the surrounding situation and said.

Cao Cao nodded slightly and asked, “Follow-up army, how long will it take to arrive?” ”

“It’s the rainy season, the roads are muddy, and it will take 10 days to arrive at the earliest.”

Li Dian replied.

“Ten days is too long.”

Cao Cao patted the map, “There is no need to wait for the follow-up army, immediately attack the city, and do not give the big eared thief the opportunity to hold on to the rescue.” ”

“In the battle of Fengcheng, although Liu Bei lost half of his soldiers and horses, after the Mi family’s funding was cut off, he reduced another thousand soldiers and horses.”

“But there are still more than two thousand soldiers available in his hands, and there are tiger and bear generals like Zhang Zhao.”

“Our army is only six thousand, less than three times the enemy’s army, and if we forcibly attack the city, we may not be able to capture it in a moment.”

Guo Jia reminded.

“Filial piety is reasonable, words are reasonable…”

Cao Cao twisted his forehead with his fingertips, and his brows furrowed for a while.

Seeing this, Xia Houyuan stepped forward and reminded: “Meng De, our niece and son-in-law are in the camp, why don’t you ask him for a plan, maybe he has a quick way to break Xiaopei?” ”

“Yes!”

Cao Cao’s eyes lit up, and when he wanted to change his official uniform, he went to see Cao Yuan.

At this time, Xia Hou Juan looked solemn and came to see him.

“Juan’er, you just came, uncle, I was about to go to see your husband, ask him for advice on breaking the small plan, let’s go together.”

Cao Cao hadn’t seen that Xiahou Juan had something on his mind.

Xia Hou sighed, “Uncle, I’m afraid you won’t be able to ask your husband anymore.” ”

“What do you mean?”

Cao Cao immediately became alert.

Xiahou Juan then brought Sima Yi Yang Xiu to visit, and Cao Yuan was alert, and wanted to abandon the official and avoid Cao Cao’s passage.

“These two little rabbit cubs, when are they still only concerned about winning people’s hearts and pulling gangs, it’s really a big mistake for me!”

The more Cao Cao listened, the more angry he became, and he cursed.

Guo Jia persuaded: “Sikong is angry, the matter has come to this, the most important thing now is how to keep Ziyou Gongzi, if he really resigns and leaves, who will assist Sikong to calm the world!” ”

Cao Cao’s figure froze and fell silent.

Pacing in the tent, his brows furrowed, he thought for a long time.

Suddenly.

Cao Cao stopped, took a deep breath, and sighed: “At this time, my main book of kings can’t be loaded, and it seems that it’s time to confess to Ziyou.” ”
