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

Chapter 138

Left and right Tian Feng, Feng Ji, trial and other advisers, all of them changed color in shock.

In the lobby, there was an uproar.

Only Yuan Shang, after being surprised, a touch of imperceptible ecstasy passed through the corners of his mouth.

"It can't be. "

"Where did Cao Cao have the courage to dare to kill the eldest prince?"

Tian Feng gasped, his face full of disbelief.

The advisors nodded their heads.

The battle of Yuan Cao was inevitable, although it was known to everyone, but after all, Yuan Shao had not yet sent troops south, and he did not publicly turn against Cao Cao.

According to common sense, Cao Cao, who was on the weak side, should try not to provoke Yuan Shao and delay the outbreak of war.

Cao Cao went against common sense, actually killed Yuan Tan, and took the initiative to tear his face?

The crowd couldn't understand it.

"Cao Thief didn't necessarily want to harm the eldest prince, it was Cao Yuan who instigated it with all his might, and the Cao thief obeyed his words, so he killed the eldest prince——"

Guo Tu said in a sad and indignant tone everything that happened in Cao's Mansion that day.

Tian Feng and the others were shocked again.

"Then Cao Yuan, a mere Han scholar, how did he have the confidence to dare to murder the eldest prince?"

"Yes, he doesn't know how to lift, and he refuses to recruit for the lord, why does he dare to persuade Cao Thief to kill the eldest prince?"

"Madman, this Cao Yuan is really a madman who doesn't know the height of the sky, and doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!"

For a while, the voices of astonishment and anger came one after another.

"Tan'er—"

A cry of grief and indignation broke everyone's astonishment.

Yuan Shao, who had been distracted for a long time, finally broke out, his body was shaky, and old tears flowed on his face.

"Father!"

Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, the two sons, hurriedly stepped forward to support them.

Yuan Xi tearfully persuaded: "The eldest brother has been killed, Father's Day mourning, you must save your body." "

Yuan Shang said sadly and angrily: "Father, Cao Thief and that Cao Yuan killed the eldest brother, this revenge is not shared, the son is willing to lead the army into Xu Du, and he will behead the two people to avenge the eldest brother!"

The ministers in the hall immediately reacted, and they all asked for war with grief and indignation, clamoring to avenge Yuan Tan.

Yuan Shao violently pushed away the second son and wiped away the old tears on his face, his old face was already hideous to terrifying.

"Pass the order, the army will go south, cross the Yellow River by Liyang soldiers, and take Xudu directly!"

In a fit of rage, Yuan Shao finally gave the order to march south.

The ministers responded with indignation.

Tian Feng admonished: "Lord, our army has just pacified Youzhou, the soldiers are tired from a long battle, and the grain and grass are not prepared.

Yuan Shao's face immediately sank.

Guo Tu said sharply: "The lord has just pacified Youzhou, Cao Thief has just taken Xuzhou, everyone is a tired army, our army is five times larger than Cao's army, and we have the advantage, if we don't kill Cao at this time, when will we wait!"

Tian Feng was speechless.

"Lord, that Cao Yuan bewitched Cao Cao to kill the eldest prince, it is indeed extremely hateful. "

"But this person is so wise and close to demons, full of intrigues, and he really can't be underestimated. "

"Cao Cao has this person to assist, so he can't judge Cao Cao's strength just by the number of soldiers and horses on the books. "

"I think that even if you want to cut Cao, you have to think about it in the long run. "

Frustration also stood up and spoke bluntly.

The two of them each had a scoop of cold water, not only did not extinguish Yuan Shao's anger, but it made him more and more dissatisfied in his heart.

"The lord has 200,000 infantry troops and 20,000 iron cavalry, which is enough to level the world!"

"Even if Cao Yuan has the wisdom of the sky, in the face of the absolute strength of the lord, he will definitely be a mantis arm as a car!"

"The lord will kill Cao, it will definitely be devastating, don't say it's a Cao Yuan, even if it is Jiang Taigong's resurrection, he can't save the Cao thief!"

Feng Ji stood up, generous and conceited, as if he regarded Cao Yuan as a mustard.

Frustrated and speechless.

"Brush!"

Yuan Shao's sword was unsheathed and slashed down.

A few corners of the case, the response was cut off.

Everyone was startled, and no one dared to squeak anymore.

Yuan Shao said sharply: "I have made up my mind, Cao Cao cannot be changed, who dares to oppose and question again, shake the morale of the army, and end up in this case!"

Tian Feng and Fu Zhu shivered, silently lowered their heads, and did not dare to persuade again.

Yuan Shao said hatefully: "Give me another order, issue a letter to the world, and offer a reward for killing Cao Yuan, and those who get his head will be rewarded with 10,000 gold, and the marquis of 10,000 households will be sealed!"

...

It was early autumn.

Yuan Shao gathered an army of 200,000 and marched south from Yecheng to Liyang.

The news of Yuan's army heading south soon spread to the states south of the Yellow River.

The Central Plains shook.

...

Xu Du, Cao Pi's private residence.

"Father is really too impulsive, he shouldn't have killed Yuan Tan, and he angered Yuan Benchu. "

"It's good now, the Yuan family has 200,000 steps to ride south, and my father can mobilize soldiers and horses to fight, but there are only more than 50,000 people. "

"The foundation of my Cao family is in jeopardy..."

Cao Pi shook his head and sighed, his words full of dissatisfaction with Cao Cao's complaints.

Cao Zhen said: "I heard that my father-in-law was instigated by Cao Yuan, so he temporarily decided to kill Yuan Tan, and Yuan Benchu also issued a reward order for this, and wanted Cao Yuan's head with the heavy reward of the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

Bang!

Cao Pi boxed a few cases, and said hatefully: "This Cao Yuan, he wants to kill my Cao family, and my father can actually listen to his bewitchment, he is really confused!"

"Zihuan Gongzi, I'm afraid that this Cao Yuan, no matter what, will kill you. "

Sima Yi, who had been silent, suddenly said playfully.

Cao Pi's expression was abrupt, and he asked anxiously, "What did Zhong Da say about this?"

"Cao Yuan boasted of his resourcefulness and persuaded Cao Gong to kill Yuan Tan, which provoked the wrath of Yuan Gong, if Cao Gong lost this battle, the Cao family would definitely be wiped out for Yuan Gong, and you will naturally not be spared. "

"If he can really assist Cao Gong and win the decisive battle of Yuan Cao, the position of the Cao family's first hero will be unshakable. "

At that time, Cao Gong will be more obedient to him, and whoever he makes the prince is probably a matter of his words. "

And Zhao Yi speculated that he had probably fallen to Zijian Gongzi's door, and if Cao Gong asked him who to appoint as the prince, he would naturally recommend Zijian Gongzi. "

"And since ancient times, how many good deaths can there be for losers in the struggle for storage?"

"So, no matter what, this Cao Yuan will kill your son!"

Sima Yi sprinkled some analysis.

Cao Pi was terrified when he heard it, and he was shocked into a cold sweat.

"Zhong Da is reasonable, whether my father wins or loses, I will be killed by this Cao Yuan!"

"Zhongda, you are resourceful, quickly give me a countermeasure?"

Cao Pi was in chaos, and Baba asked Sima Yi for help.

A cold glint flashed in Sima Yi's eyes, and he made a knife in his palm and made a decapitation motion to his neck.

"You want me to kill him?"

Cao Pi was taken aback.

"Duke Yuan hated Cao Yuan to the core, if Gongzi could kill him, after Gong Yuan's victory in the future, Gongzi would be able to take advantage of this to invite merit, and he would be able to save his life. "

"And if Cao Gong wins, without the support of Cao Yuan, Zijian Gongzi will not be able to compete with Zihuan Gongzi for the crown prince, and the Cao family's reserve position is none other than Gongzi. "

"So, get rid of this Cao Yuan, no matter who wins or loses in the decisive battle of Yuan Cao, you can be invincible. "

Sima Yi lowered his voice and explained the stakes to him.

Cao Pi's spirits were lifted, and his originally flustered mood gradually calmed down, and a fierce light gradually flashed in his eyes.

After weighing it for a long time.

Cao Pi gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, only by getting rid of this Cao Yuan can I have a way to live!"

Cao Zhen said: "Having said that, but what kind of kindness my father has to him, if my father finds out that we killed Cao Yuan, how can he let go of you, second brother?"

Cao Pi was shocked, and a sad face gathered on his face again.

"If you want to kill Cao Yuan, you naturally don't need Zihuan Gongzi to do it. "

A mysterious sneer appeared on Sima Yi's face.

Cao Pi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "What is Zhongda's plan?"

"My Sima family once befriended a ranger named Shi A, who is extremely skilled in swordsmanship, and what he is best at is assassination. "

"Yi heard that Cao Yuan is going to Luoyang to receive the arsenal in the near future, if Zihuan Gongzi nods, I can ask Na Shi'a to pretend to be a thief and intercept and kill that Cao Yuan halfway. "

"In this way, Cao Yuan can be eliminated, and Zihuan Gongzi will not be implicated, what does Gongzi think?"

Sima Yi twisted his chin in his hand and said with a sneer.

"Shi A, is it the disciple of Wang Yue, the number one swordsman in the world?"

Cao Pi's eyes flickered.

"It's this person. "

Sima Yi nodded slightly.

"That Cao Yuan is just a strategist, although there are some guards with extraordinary martial arts under his command, but if this Shi A makes an assassination, it should be no problem..."

Cao Pi stood up and paced with his hands in his hands, weighing in his heart.

Half an hour later.

Cao Pi suddenly stopped, there was no hesitation in his eyes, only cold and murderous.

"That Cao Yuan can't be used by me, so I can't keep him!"

"According to Zhongda's plan, send Shi A to kill him!"
