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

"Economic warfare?"

Cao Cao and Guo Jia glanced at each other.

This was unheard of, and the two of his lords and ministers were at a loss.

"Ziyou, uncle I am lonely and unheard, what is the scripture... Economic warfare?"

Cao Cao asked with novelty.

"In short, it's about burning money. "

Cao Yuan was unhurried, picked up a piece of glutinous cake, and sent it to his mouth.

"Burning money?"

The more Cao Cao listened, the more confused he became.

"I have sent someone to Xuzhou to investigate in detail before, and the Mi family's business has roughly three pieces, sea salt, grain, and cloth. "

"Uncle Haiyan knows that in the last business, the Mi family's hundreds of thousands of Haiyan smashed into their hands, which was a blood loss. "

"As for the grain, it has just started spring, and it is still far from the autumn grain, and the Mi family naturally has no grain to sell. "

In this way, the Mi family can only rely on the cloth business to return blood to support Liu Bei's 6,000 soldiers and horses. "

Cao Yuan said that he was a little thirsty, so he was going to pour tea.

Cao Cao was in a hurry, and poured a cup of tea for Cao Yuan first, and served it with both hands.

Cao Yuan took a few sips before he continued: "Therefore, as long as you can defeat the Mi family's cloth business, it is equivalent to cutting off Liu Bei's financial route." "

"I didn't expect that Ziyou knew the Mi family so well!"

Cao Cao nodded in approval, and then asked: "Then you can talk about how to defeat the Mi family's cloth business." "

"Four words, dumping at a low price!"

Cao Yuan replied crisply.

Cao Cao was confused again, and couldn't help but look at Guo Jia.

Although Guo Jia was extremely resourceful, he didn't know anything about this economic war, so he could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

"What our Cao Gong has to do is to mobilize 100,000 pieces of cloth from various states and dump them in various counties of Xuzhou at a price far below the cost price. "

"It is human nature to be greedy and cheap, and Xuzhou people will naturally compete to buy our low-cost cloth, who will buy Mijia's cloth. "

"If the Mi family wants to sell cloth, they can only reduce the price and endure the pain of bloodletting. "

"As soon as this price drops, it will be unprofitable, what will the Mi family use to provide Liu Bei with military salaries?"

Cao Yuan's eyes swept into a sly smile, and he fully explained this economic war

Cao Cao suddenly realized, and the clouds in front of him were gone.

He looked at his son again, and his eyes were not only admiring and admiring, but also deeply shocked.

"I have been fighting horses for half my life, and I never thought that I could use such economic means to destroy the enemy's soldiers and horses without blood!"

"This child's pattern is really imaginative!"

Cao Cao's mind flipped, and the more he looked at Cao Yuan, the more he appreciated and liked it.

Suddenly, a thought came to my mind:

"If the foundation of my Cao family is inherited by him in the future, will it be the wisest choice?"

Cao Cao was in a trance for a while.

Cao Yuan saw that he was stunned, and he thought that he was convinced.

He poured Cao Cao a cup of tea and said with a smile: "So I want my uncle to help, that is, if Cao Gong really plans to fight this economic war, can he hand over the 100,000 pieces of cloth to me and let me go to Xuzhou to buy them." "

After laying the groundwork for a long time, Cao Yuan finally showed his intentions.

A piece of cloth is worth two thousand dollars.

100,000 pieces of cloth is 200 million dollars.

This is just the price of ordinary cloth, if the small treasury gains something high-quality cloth, the price will at least increase several times.

After this errand, the court dumped at a low price, but he himself recorded at least one billion dollars.

A jade seal that is useless to oneself, in exchange for one billion dollars, this transaction is simply not too cost-effective.

"I see. "

Cao Cao suddenly realized, only to understand that Cao Yuan had been around for a long time, and it turned out that he was eyeing the 100,000 pieces of cloth.

However, if you can cut off Liu Bei's financial road and quickly break Xiaopei, it is worth just 100,000 pieces of cloth.

Cao Cao smiled happily: "Okay, I'll help you with this, and after I return to Xudu, I'll try my best to persuade Gong Cao to hand over this errand to Ziyou!"

"My uncle is really my own family, and I know that I feel sorry for me. "

"Come on, come on, I'll smash another hickory for Sikong. "

Cao Yuan smiled, grabbed the jade seal of the country with his hand, and didn't want to smash it again.

"Smash it back!"

"This is going to be smashed, how can I wait for Cao Gong!"

Cao Cao was in a hurry, took it back, and carried it in his arms like a treasure.

Cao Yuan was stunned, and then laughed.

Cao Cao was afraid that Cao Yuan would regret it, so he took the jade seal of the country in his arms and immediately left.

As soon as I got out of the house.

Cao Cao threw his hand behind his back and restored the domineering bearing of the superior.

He glanced at Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, what do you think, what do you think of Ziyou's so-called economic warfare strategy?"

"In that year, the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period competed for power, and the name of Qi was in charge of Zhong, so they used the same means to defeat the Lu State and hit the Chu State hard without blood. "

"Ziyou Gongzi's economic war is very good, or even better. "

"I think it's feasible. "

Guo Jia quoted scriptures and classics and greatly admired Cao Yuan's methods.

Cao Cao stroked his fine hair, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Guan Zhong is not a worldly appearance, what a status.

Guo Jianeng compared his son with Guan Zhong, how could he, as a father, not be proud in his heart.

"Okay! "

"After returning to Xudu, immediately raise 100,000 pieces of cloth and hand it over to Ziyou to cut off the wealth of the big-eared thief!"

Cao Cao laughed and gladly ordered.

Then.

Guo Jia's eyes flashed with confusion again, and he muttered: "This heirloom jade seal is in the hands of Ziyou Gongzi, so what did Zhou Yu steal?"

...

Whisker dock.

A young and heroic man, holding a sword in his hand, stood proudly on the city tower, admiring the mighty navy on the rolling Yangtze River.

The battle flag of the word "Sun" fluttered dazzlingly behind him.

"General Bo Fu, all of my 30,000 Jiangdong athletes have crossed the river. "

"Bo Fu, you only need to give an order, and we can go north from the river, first conquer the river, and go straight to Shouchun!"

The veteran Han Dang asked for an order behind him.

"No hurry!"

Sun Ce flicked his hand and sneered: "Let Cao Thief and Yuan Shu eat dog in Shouchun City first, and when they are both defeated, we will clean up the mess." "

Han Dang was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "If it drags on any longer, Yuan Shu will be defeated by Cao Cao, and we will want to get involved in Shouchun again, won't it be too late." "

Sun Ce's eyes flashed with disapproval.

"The Cao thief attacked Shouchun, but he only won by deception, don't forget, Yuan Shu also has 50,000 male soldiers. "

"I expect that the two of them will be on the front line of Shouchun, and it will be difficult to distinguish between them and them, and they will not be able to tell the winner in a month or two. "

"What we have is time, to recharge here, and when they are both defeated, we can reap the benefits of the fisherman. "

Sun Ce was unhurried and pointed out his deep meaning.

Han Dang suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "Bo Fu, you not only have the courage of the first prince of Wentai, but also the wisdom of the first prince of Wentai, we will follow you, and we will be able to revitalize the Sun family!"

Sun Ce smiled but did not speak, but he did not hide his conceit between his eyebrows.

That's when it happened.

The general Pan Zhang hurriedly climbed the city tower and shouted: "Lord Qiqi, the urgent report just sent back, Cao Cao has annihilated 50,000 Yuan troops in Shouchun, Yuan Shu was defeated and captured, Cao Cao has been beheaded, and the head is sent to Xudu!"

A thunderclap rang in my ears.

The conceited smile on Sun Ce's face was distorted into stunned horror in an instant.

The stunned and shocked expression seemed to have heard the most mysterious thing in the world.

Han Dang's face changed in shock, and he looked at Sun Ce anxiously: "General Bofu, that Cao thief has actually destroyed Yuan Shu, this, this..."

This veteran was shocked to the point of incoherence at the moment.

"It can't be!"

Sun Ce came to his senses and asked sharply: "Even if it is 50,000 pigs, it is impossible to be killed by Cao Thief so quickly, this is impossible!"

Pan Zhang had no choice but to fight Shouchun, how Cao Cao surrendered his troops without a fight, and easily disintegrated the 50,000 Yuan army.

Truth.

Why don't they believe it!

Sun Ce gasped and said in disbelief: "What kind of person can offer such a wonderful plan for the Cao thief?"

Han Dang was stunned and at a loss, unable to answer.

The two of his ministers were in shock and confusion for a while.

At this time, Yiye walked ashore with a young military general who was embarrassed and entered the wet dock.

"Bo Fu!"

Zhou Yu smiled and climbed the tower.

As soon as Sun Ce turned around, he couldn't help but be ecstatic when he recognized it was Zhou Yu.

"Gong Jin, Gong Jin, why are you here, I'm still worried about you!"

Sun Ce stepped forward and hugged Zhou Yu's shoulder and asked with a smile.

"As soon as I learned that you had rebelled against Yuan, I wanted to come to you, but I didn't have the opportunity. "

"When Shouchun City broke, I found a good opportunity to get out so that I could go south to meet you. "

Zhou Yu explained with a smile.

"Okay, good, I have Gongjin's assistance, why worry about the great cause!"

Sun Ce laughed heartily as if he had received a treasure.

Zhou Yu calmed down a lot and asked, "Bo Fu, when I was in Hefei, I learned that Yuan Shu was destroyed by Cao Thief, do you know?"

"I just found out. "

Sun Ce's brows recurred, and he asked, "Gong Jin, you are from Shouchun, do you know who is the one who offered advice to the Cao thief and was able to destroy Yuan Shu so easily?"

"It is rumored that Cao Cao has a mysterious man of ingenuity, who is as clever as Zhang Liang's resurrection. "

"It was this person who offered advice to Cao Thief, so he first broke Shouchun, and then destroyed Yuan Shu, and took Huainan in just one month. "

Zhou Yu told the rumors he had heard.

"A man of intrigues, wiser than Zhang Liang?"

Sun Ce's brows furrowed, and there was a bit of jealousy and deep disgust in his eyes.

"Bang!"

He struck the battlements, gritted his teeth and said: "What kind of scheming man is this, it is really hateful to destroy my layout of attacking Huainan!"

"There is no need to be anxious. "

Zhou Yu sneered and said with relief: "Sooner or later, Cao Thief will go north to fight Yuan Shao, and he will have no time to look south, so Bo Fu will take the opportunity to go north, and it will not be easy to take Huainan." "

Sun Ce was awakened, and the clouds in his eyes were gone.

He sneered: "Gongjin is reasonable, Huainan will be in my pocket sooner or later, why rush for a while." "

At that moment, Sun Ce took Zhou Yu back to the military mansion and asked to arrange wine and meat, and warmly picked up the wind for Zhou Yu.

After a few glasses of wine, Zhou Yu smiled secretly: "Bo Fu, I came here this time and brought you a gift." "

"What gift?"

Sun Ce said with interest.

Zhou Yu said: "When I left Shouchun, I took advantage of Yuan Shu's unpreparedness to steal the heirloom jade seal of your Sun family, and brought it all the way, this is my gift to you." "

Sun Ce was overjoyed.

This heirloom jade seal was obtained by his father Sun Jian after the capture of Luoyang.

Later, Sun Jian died in battle, and in order to get back Sun Jian's old ministry from Yuan Shu, he had to dedicate the jade seal of the country to Yuan Shu.

Now that Yuan Shu has fallen, he is worried about the jade seal of the country, which can be obtained by Cao Cao, but he doesn't want to be stolen by Zhou Yu to give it to him.

"The jade seal of the country can be returned to the hands of my grandson, this is the destiny of heaven...."

Sun Ce was secretly ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Where is the jade seal, Gong Jin let me take a look." "

Zhou Yu was unhurried, took out a gold box from the baggage, and carefully opened the gold box.

A boxy object is imprinted into the eye.

It's a piece of wood!

Zhou Yu was stunned.
