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

Wancheng, Zhangfu.

"Cao Mengde, you are really good at buying people's hearts!".

Zhang Xiu hit the desk with his fist, and secretly gritted his teeth in his mouth.

Since his surrender in January, Cao Cao has constantly crossed him and entertained his generals, which is always a generous reward.

At present, the generals and officers of his army, every time Cao Cao is mentioned, they are full of praise and gratitude.

Cao Cao was not at ease with him, and wanted to divide and envelop his generals, Zhang Xiu finally realized it.

"The young general has 6,000 Xiliang soldiers in his hands, and he is dominating Wancheng, but he refuses to hand over his military power. "

"Cao Gong is not at ease with the general, and wants to cut the general's military power, which is also expected. "

Jia Xu, who had white hair beside him, said calmly.

Zhang Xiu's brows furrowed, and he snorted coldly: "If I hand over the military power, I will lose my support, how can I straighten my waist in Cao Ying in the future!".

The voice fell.

Footsteps sounded, and Hu Che'er hurriedly broke in.

"Major General Qiyu, something is wrong, Mrs. Zou was snatched away by Cao Cao!".

Hu Che'er said anxiously.

"What?".

Zhang Xiu was taken aback and asked, "You say it again, who did Cao Cao rob?"

Hu Che'er hurriedly said: "Cao Anmin, the nephew of Cao Cao, brought more than 100 people into the city and forcibly took Mrs. Zou away, saying that Cao Sikong wanted to take her as a concubine!"

"Cao Apu!".

Zhang Xiu stood up and said angrily: "You dare to take my aunt as a concubine, you deceive people too much!"

Although Zou Yuer is younger than him and has no husband and wife with Zhang Ji, in the end, she is his nominal aunt, and he has always been respectful on the surface.

And now, his respected aunt was robbed by Cao Cao to be a concubine!

How can Zhang Xiu endure such humiliation!

"This Cao Mengde, he wants to borrow Mrs. Zou to marry my Xiliang Army and win people's hearts, this method is really clever. "

Jia Xu stroked his white beard and sighed.

"Jia Xu!".

Zhang Xiu's angry gaze shot at him and asked, "You persuaded me to surrender to Nacao Apu, but he wanted to take away my subordinates and bully my aunt, what else do you have to say!"

A layer of cold sweat soaked out of Jia Xu's forehead, and a little shame passed between his eyebrows.

After thinking for a long time, Jia Xu gritted his teeth: "Cao Cao dares to openly snatch his wife, which means that he must be arrogant at this moment and have no guard against you young general, so let's take him by surprise and give him a counterattack!"

...

Cao Ying.

Cao Cao looked at the wine glass in his hand, stunned, and still wondering who intercepted the Zou family halfway.

Sikong was reluctant to teach for a long time, and recently he has recruited Zhang Xiu's generals alone many times, and he has been rewarded heavily. "

"If Jia's speculation is correct, could it be that Sikong is not worried about Zhang Xiu and wants to divide his subordinates and cut his military power?"

Guo Jia finally guessed Cao Cao's deep meaning.

"Fengxiao, you finally understand my painstaking efforts. "

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and sighed: "Xiliang people have always been capricious, valuing profit rather than righteousness, Zhang Xiu can easily betray Liu Biao today, and the decisive battle between him and Yuan Shao will be slightly unfavorable, can you guarantee that he will not see the situation and betray me in turn?"

Guo Jia was dignified, if he had an understanding.

"Sikong is worried, Wancheng is too close to Xu Du after all!".

"In the decisive battle with Yuan Shao in the future, if Zhang Xiu rebels at the critical moment and stabs us in the back, the consequences will be unimaginable. "

Guo Jia realized Cao Cao's helplessness.

The voice fell.

Cao Ren entered the account and arched his hand and said: "Meng De, that Zhang Xiu sent someone to send a lot of wine and meat, what should I do with it?"

At this time, in the past half a month, Zhang Xiu sent wine and meat for the fifth time to reward the soldiers of the Cao army.

Cao Cao didn't think much about it, and ordered Cao Ren to distribute the rewards to the soldiers as usual.

"Zhang Xiu is not a brainless man, he should be able to perceive that Sikong is encircling his subordinates. "

"Knowing this, not only did he not complain about Sikong, but also toasted meat several times?"

"It's a bit of a counterintuitive. "

Guo Jia seemed to see something strange.

Cao Cao's heart was shocked, and he recalled the conversation with Cao Yuan that day.

Suddenly, he regained his senses.

"Zixiao, what unusual behavior has Zhang Xiu done recently?".

Cao Cao asked.

"There is nothing abnormal, except for often sending wine and meat into the camp to reward our army, that is, some soldiers and horses were moved out of Wancheng and camped in the southeast. "

Cao Ren didn't see any suspicion in his eyes.

"Southeast?".

Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Isn't that just against my Chinese army camp!"

Guo Jia noticed Cao Cao's abnormal expression, and hurriedly asked, "Sikong is worried about that embroidery, maybe he has a different heart?"

Cao Cao retreated from Cao Ren, and only Guo Jia and Dian Wei were left in the tent.

Only the three of them knew about Cao Yuan's existence.

Cao Cao told Guo Jia what Cao Yuan said to him when he visited Cao Yuan as the chief bookkeeper that day.

"Then Cao Yuan said that Zhang Xiu would surrender and rebel, but I didn't believe it at the time. "

"Now that Zhang Xiu is sending wine and meat, and quietly camping directly opposite the main camp of our Chinese army, I am guessing, could it be that Cao Yuan really said it?"

Cao Cao's tone was solemn and worried.

Guo Jia's expression was also solemn, and he nodded slightly: "This Cao Yuan's ability to perceive people's hearts is extraordinary, and according to this, it is very likely that he will be right again." "

Then.

Dian Wei rolled his eyes and said busily: "The last general remembered, Zhang Xiu not only sent wine and meat to the camp, but also sent more than 100 jars of good wine to the Huwei camp, so Hu Che'er also invited the last general to drink together tonight." "

Cao Cao's expression froze.

The Tiger Guard Battalion is his direct army, dedicated to protecting him.

Dian Wei is his personal escort, and he is inseparable.

Zhang Xiu's behavior like this was to get Dian Wei and the Huwei camp drunk, so that he could take advantage of the situation to attack the Chinese army camp and give him a thief to capture the king first

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "Sikong, Zhang Xiu's appearance is too suspicious, you must guard against it, and Hu Che'er invited General Dian to drink, he is likely to do it tonight!"

"Herald!".

Cao Cao stood up and shouted: "Order the commanders of all battalions to immediately strengthen their vigilance and be on standby at all times!"

"No!".

Dian Wei took the order and left.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, but Cao Yuan's warnings kept echoing in his mind.

"This person is really smarter than Zhang Liang, even if he has no last resort, I really shouldn't question him...."

Cao Cao muttered to himself, a look of shame and self-reproach on his face.
