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

"What do you say, you say it again?".

Cao Cao didn't care about the wine being splashed on his body, and asked again excitedly.

Cao Yuan raised five fingers and said unhurriedly: "I mean, five hundred good war horses are presented to the king's master book, can the master book be satisfied?"

Cao Cao gasped.

Xiahou Juan behind him also opened his mouth slightly, and surprise appeared in his bright eyes.

That's five hundred horses.

Worth at least half a billion dollars.

Cao Cao led the army and Zhang Xiu in a bloody battle, and at what cost he paid, he easily captured a thousand good horses from Xiliang.

The little official in front of him, as soon as he opened his mouth, wanted to bribe him with 500 high-quality horses!

Even if it is the Hebei Zhen family, the Xuzhou Mi family, the Huainan Lu family and other rich people in the world, they can't compare to him so generous!

"Son... Sub-tour. "

Cao Cao relieved himself and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you sure you are talking about five hundred war horses, not five hundred mules?"

Cao Yuan snorted and said with a wry smile: "The master book is really good at joking, I want to give the master book five hundred mules, isn't that humiliating the master book." "

Cao Cao confirmed that it was correct, and couldn't help but fall silent.

He couldn't help but wonder, what is this money-greedy genius trying to borrow and buy himself at such a large price?

Just to take care of a war horse?

Dump the war horses in the official stables to their own private stables, and then return them intact

Isn't this full!

"Ziyou, can you be honest with me, what is your purpose in doing this?".

Cao Cao couldn't help but ask.

Cao Yuan smiled faintly: "We are still the old rules, what is the purpose of the lower officials, you don't have to ask too much about the main book, just accept the benefit you should receive." "

He still refused to say, Cao Cao became more and more suspicious in his heart, but he was helpless.

"He is both a prodigy and a geek, and since he can give me five hundred horses, he must have a means that no one knows. "

"It is worth it to get five hundred good war horses without much effort, even if you take some risks. "

"Besides, as long as I keep an eye on him, even if he covets those thousand war horses, he will have to send them back sooner or later. "

"Well, it's a good deal. "

After some struggle and weighing.

Cao Cao patted the case and said proudly: "Okay, our own family, how can I not believe you, this matter is on this official." "

Cao Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart blossomed, as if he saw that money was raining in the sky, and they all smashed it at him.

"The king's book is really enough friends, come, I will give the master's book a cup!".

Cao Yuan raised his glass.

Cao Cao also drank it all, and the two laughed.

After a few glasses of wine, Cao Yuan was a little drunk, in a good mood, and talked more.

Seeing this, Cao Cao asked tentatively: "Ziyou, this Wancheng has also been defeated, and Zhang Xiu has also been killed, what do you say about our Cao Gong, what will happen next?"

"How else can I go, of course, it is the class teacher Xu Du, rest the soldiers, and turn back to clean up Liu Bei and Lu Bu and others. "

Cao Yuan said disapprovingly, and poured another glass of wine into his stomach.

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and thought that Cao Yuan's judgment coincided with himself.

That's when it happened.

Cao Yuan drank his stomach, but his words changed, "But if it were me, I would have to fight Xinye in one go, and drink Ma Han water before I collected the troops." "

Lay down the new field!

Drink Mahan water!

Cao Cao's heart was shocked, and a window seemed to be opened in front of him.

Attacking Xinye means going to war with Liu Biao.

Previously, among the princes he expected to clean up, Liu Biao's position was ranked low.

"Liu Biao is just a self-defending thief, and he is not a threat to Cao Gong, as for being in such a hurry to clean him up?"

Cao Cao pressed the fox suspicion and asked again.

"Attacking Xinye and cleaning up Liu Biao is not for the present, but for the future!"

Cao Yuan's eyes were deep and distant.

"In the future?".

"What do you mean by that?".

Cao Cao added a glass of wine to Cao Yuan.

"I'll just ask you, our Cao Gong, do you want to dominate the world?"

Cao Yuan picked up his wine glass and suddenly asked rhetorically.

Cao Cao said without thinking: "Cao Gong is eloquent and strategic, so he naturally has the ambition of unifying the six and annexing the Eight Desolations, how can he not want to dominate the world." "

"That's right. "

"If Cao Gong only wants to dominate the north, the biggest enemy is none other than Yuan Shao, and by the way, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and even Yuan Shu and others. "

"But if Cao Gong wants to dominate the world, then his biggest enemy is the rolling Yangtze River!"

Cao Yuan sipped wine and said meaningfully.

"Rolling Yangtze River?".

Cao Cao couldn't hear the deep meaning of his words, and his eyes became confused.

"Cao Gong wants to pacify Jiangnan, and the biggest obstacle is how to cross the Yangtze River. "

"And if you want to cross the Yangtze River, even if you have a million iron horses, it is useless, you must build thousands of warships, and you must have an elite sailor composed of southern sons. "

"Only by laying down Xinye can we drink Mahan water, and only then can we recruit those Jing Xiangerlang who are proficient in water and form a water army in advance. "

"When Cao Ping settles the north and moves south, there will be a ready-made elite naval army available. "

"In the meantime, water and land go hand in hand, so that we can cross the Yangtze River in one go and pacify half of the south half of the Yangtze River!"

Cao Yuanyang sprinkled and pointed out a clear path for Cao Cao.

The former Cao Cao waved his army to the south, although he took advantage of Liu Biao's illness and died, his son surrendered, and the soldiers got the Jingzhou Navy without blood.

But this Jingzhou naval army was not attached to the people, forcing Cao Cao to spend a lot of time on rectifying the people's hearts, but gave Sun Quan the opportunity to move westward and unite with Liu Bei.

In the first battle of Chibi, the entire naval army was annihilated!

After that, Cao Cao had no hope of pacifying Jiangnan in his lifetime.

Drinking Ma Han water, recruiting southerners, and forming a water army in advance was Cao Cao's only chance to pacify Jiangnan and dominate the world.

Cao Cao's wine glass hung in the air, his expression was lost and shocked, and his eyes seemed to be enlightened.

"I was still thinking about how to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, how to sweep away Lu Bu and Liu Bei, but he had already thought of pacifying Jiangnan and dominating the world for such a long time. "

"It's unbelievable that he has such a far-sighted pattern at such a young age!"

Cao Cao's thoughts were surging, and when he looked at Cao Yuan again, his eyes were more than just amazed.

It quietly added a little awe!
