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

"How can the husband conclude that Cao Gong knows about the existence of the husband?"

Xiahou Juan tried his best to suppress his thoughts, trying to dispel Cao Yuan's speculation.

Cao Yuan pointed out the door: "The two brothers, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, both know my existence and send someone to envelop me, Mrs. thinks that our Cao Gong may not know to be a husband?"

"Maybe. Maybe those two sons are just corporal Lixian, but they don't know the identity of their husbands. "

Xiahou Juan continued to be far-fetched.

"No matter how polite the two of them are, it is impossible for them to send their subordinates to conspire and travel thousands of miles to envelop an ordinary official. "

"They must know that it was my plan for Cao Gong, and when they heard the rumor that Cao Gong wanted to reuse me, they came to rush to cage me. "

Xiahou was speechless.

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

"Alas, being a husband is also a little self-deceptive, always thinking that he can fool the past. "

"Actually, I should have expected that paper can't hold the fire, and with Cao Gong's wisdom, sooner or later he will dig me out. "

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

Xiahou Juan was silent, and his thoughts flipped in his heart.

After a long time.

She took a deep breath and said, "Husband, Juan Er has something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"You and I, husband and wife, what can't be said, what do you want to say. "

Cao Yuan said, taking out the map and wondering where to go.

Xiahou Juan said: "The husband also said that Cao Gong is a generation of heroes, in this case, why can't the husband assist Cao Gong, and have to avoid it?"

This time it was Cao Yuan's turn to answer.

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

But now, with his wealth, he has long been rich and rivals the country, and he can't spend it in a few lifetimes.

The previous reasoning seems to be a bit untenable.

"Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, bothering and carefully being Cao Gong's strategist, how can he be as comfortable as now. "

Cao Yuan thought of a new reason.

Xiahou Juan said: "Juan married her husband, and she has long found that although her husband likes money, he has a heart to help the common people, otherwise Liu Bei's army will attack Fengcheng that day, and the husband will not care about the lives of the people in the city, and will not flee alone." "

Cao Yuan's heart sank, and he was touched by his wife's words.

"The husband also said that Cao Gong is the one who can really dominate the world and let the people enjoy peace again. "

"And the husband also cares about the people, why can't he assist Cao Gong to rule the world and return peace to the people?"

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

Cao Yuan was silent.

"Besides. "

"If Cao Gong rules the world in the future, the whole world will be his, where can you hide, husband?"

Xiahou 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.

My wife is right, the surname is Cao in the world, where else can I avoid it?

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

The world is prosperous, where else is comparable to the Central Plains, leaving here, there is no place to spend the money of the rich country.

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

Cao Pi is a well-known cautious person, and almost all those who offend him have no good end.

"Madame is reasonable, you let the husband think about it...."

Cao Yuan started planning again, and he was no longer in a hurry to slip away for a while.

Xiahou Juan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Little Pei City.

Liu Bei leaned weakly, still enduring the torture of his eye injury.

"Lord Qi, we lost half of our soldiers and horses in the first battle of Fengcheng, and now we have less than 3,000 available soldiers. "

"My lord, our existing money is no longer enough to support 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I am afraid that we will have to cut another 1,000 soldiers to barely maintain it. "

The ministers and 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 Qi, Xu Du is urgent!"

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

The guards hurriedly entered and gave Liu Bei another heavy blow.

Liu Bei shuddered, didn't care about his 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 haven't been defeated!"

"Cheer me up, think about how to defend Xiaopei, and the enemy retreats from Cao thief!"

Liu Bei endured the pain, and forced a 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's tens of thousands of male soldiers, our army is only more than 2,000 remnants, this battle is not a fish to die and the net is broken, but to hit a stone with an egg!"

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 again, and be lost dogs?"

Guan Yu asked with a gloomy face.

Liu Bei's fists clenched slightly.

Xuzhou has been lost to Lu Bu, and Xiaopei is a foothold he has easily gained.

If you abandon it again, you will have to return to the old kind of aggrieved days when you were sent under the fence and looked at people's eyes.

The result of half a lifetime of struggle, isn't it a waste of Fu Zhu?

Liu Bei was unwilling.

Zhao Yun sighed: "But if you don't abandon the city and defend it, it can only be a dead end." "

Liu Bei Yilin.

"I, Liu Bei, was 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, we haven't reached the end of the mountains and rivers yet, Qian thinks that we still have two reinforcements available to help us defend Xiaopei and the enemy retreat Cao Cao." "

Liu Bei's spirits perked up, and he asked urgently: "Who is the reinforcement that Zizhong said?"

"If Xiao Pei is lost, Xiapi will face Cao Jun's soldiers, how can Lu Bu not be afraid. "

"If the lord sends someone to ask Lu Bu for help, I believe that he will do his best to come to the rescue of Xuzhou. "

Sun Qian turned and pointed to the north.

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

"Yuan Shao and Cao Cao started a war, it is already the consensus of the people of the world, and the Yuan family will definitely not let Cao Cao swallow Xiaopei, and then take Xuzhou. "

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

"We just need to hold on to Xiaopei and hold on until the two reinforcements arrive, and we should join forces outside, so why can't we repel Cao Cao. "

Sun Gan's plan was revealed, and the clouds in the hall were immediately dispersed.

From Liu Bei to Zhang Fei, all of them were in high spirits.

"Okay, Gongyou's clever plan!"

Liu Bei's eyes didn't hurt anymore, and he said happily: "You and Jian Yong, one south and one north, set off immediately to ask Yuan Tan and Lu Bu for help!"

"No!"

The two of them took the order.

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, and the physical and mental pain seemed to be alleviated.

"Cao Cao, even if that Cao Yuan is really the scheming man behind you. "

"I, Liu Bei, will never give up Xiao Pei!"

...

Four days later.

Cao Cao led 5,000 soldiers and horses, went lightly, joined the defenders of Xiahou Yuan Qianfeng City, and arrived at Xiaopei City.

More than 30,000 troops were still on the way, and 6,000 soldiers and horses were not enough to besiege the city, so Cao Cao only ordered to camp in the north of the city.

In the 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 Lu Bu for help respectively. "

"If our army can't capture Xiaopei as soon as possible, and wait for the two reinforcements to join forces 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, "How long will it take for the follow-up army to arrive?"

"It's the rainy season, the roads are muddy, and it takes 10 days at the earliest. "

Li Dian replied.

"Ten days is too long. "

Cao Cao slapped the map, "Don't wait for the follow-up army, attack the city immediately, and don't give the big-eared thieves a chance to hold on and wait for help." "

"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 cut another thousand soldiers and horses. "

"But there are still more than 2,000 soldiers available in his hands, and there are also tiger and bear generals like Zhang Zhao. "

"Our army is only 6,000, only less than three times the enemy's army, and if we forcibly attack the city, we may not be able to capture it for a moment. "

Guo Jia reminded.

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, and his words are reasonable...."

Cao Cao's fingertips twisted his forehead, and his brows furrowed for a moment.

Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan stepped forward and reminded: "Meng De, our niece and son-in-law are in the camp, why don't you ask him for advice, maybe he has a clever plan to break Xiaopei quickly?"

"That's right!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and even if he wanted to change his official uniform, he went to see Cao Yuan.

At this time, Xiahou Juan had a solemn face and came to see it.

"Juan'er, you came just in time, uncle, I was about to go to see your husband and ask him for advice on how to break Xiaopei, let's go together." "

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

Xiahou Juan sighed: "Uncle, I'm afraid you can't ask your husband anymore." "

"What do you mean by that?"

Cao Cao immediately became alert.

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

"These two little rabbit cubs, when did they only care about winning people's hearts and forming gangs, they really missed my big thing!"

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

Guo Jia persuaded: "Sikong is angry, the matter has come to this point, 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 he 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, I can't hold the king's book, it seems that it is time to confess to Ziyou." "
