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

West of Xu Capital City, Cao Pi’s private residence.

A Confucian son is playing against Cao Pi.

That boy was a few years younger than Cao Pi, but there was a faint calmness and sophistication beyond his age between his eyebrows.

“I’m sorry, Zihuan Gongzi.”

The Confucian boy smiled modestly, and the black son in his hand fell.

Cao Pi frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally had to smile bitterly and admit defeat.

“Zhongda, your chess skills have reached the level of a national player, not inferior to your father.”

Cao Pi praised.

That Confucian boy was Sima Yi.

His father, Sima Fang, was the lord of Cao Cao when he was young, and he was a great clan of Hanoi County.

Cao Cao first came to repay the favor, and second, in order to encircle the Sima clan, so he recruited Sima Lang, the eldest son of the Sima clan, and entered Xu Du as a councilor.

Sima Yi came to Xudu with his brother, wanting to broaden his horizons and make friends with some famous and powerful people by the way.

Cao Pi and Sima Yi had known each other since childhood, knew that he was quite resourceful and talented, and when they learned that he came to Beijing, they warmly invited him, pushed him to his heart, and tried their best to enlist him.

At this time, Sima Yi had secretly thrown himself under Cao Pi.

“How dare Yi’s chess skills be compared with Sikong, Zihuan Gongzi really tortured me.”

Sima Yi looked sincerely terrified, and did not dare to accept Cao Pi’s praise.

“Zhongda is really modest.”

Cao Pi took the tea, took a few sips, rolled his eyes slightly, but sighed.

Sima Yi observed his face and asked, “When you see Zihuan Gongzi playing against each other, you are absent-minded, but you have something on your mind?” ”

“It’s not my younger brother Cao Zhi yet.”

“This child is too young, he was bewitched by Yang Xiu Dingyi’s gang, and regardless of the order of the elders and children, he had to compete with me for the position of the crown prince of the Cao family.”

“In terms of thesis talent, in terms of appearance, I am far inferior to him, and my father also spoils him much more than me.”

“I’m afraid that I, the elder brother, will bow down to his younger brother in the future.”

Cao Pi’s face was stunned, and he expressed his bitterness.

Sima Yi couldn’t hear that he was deliberately laying the groundwork to make himself come up with advice.

“In fact, since ancient times, the most important thing for Chu Jun is a filial piety character, in fact, what talent, martial arts, etc., are just icing on the cake.”

“Zihuan Gongzi only needs to be a filial son in front of Cao Gong, and secretly form a good alliance to encircle the important ministers of the dynasty, and in the future, the position of the crown prince of the Cao family will naturally fall on Zi Huan Gongzi.”

Sima Yi understated and broke the mystery.

Cao Pi’s figure was shocked, like an empowerment, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

“Listen to Jun’s words, if you see the moon in the clouds, thank you Zhongda for your teaching!”

Cao Pi stood up and swung towards Sima Yi’s long body.

Sima Yi hurriedly got up and helped, and said with trepidation: “Zihuan Gongzi is such a big gift, Yi Wan does not dare to do it.” ”

The two sat down with each other’s support.

Cao Pi smiled and said, “If he can inherit the Cao family’s inheritance one day, I will be rewarded with the grace that Zhongda has ordered today.” ”

Sima Yi’s eyes flashed with subtlety, and there was another look of trepidation and humility on his face.

Footsteps sounded, and Cao Zhen hurried in, interrupting the conversation between the two.

“Second brother, the hegemony has just reported good news.”

“Uncle Xiahou broke Liu Bei in Fengcheng and shot him blind in one eye, and Liu Bei was defeated and seriously injured and fled back to Xiaopei.”

“The righteous father has ordered to send troops, and tomorrow he will take Xuzhou directly.”

Cao Zhen will inquire about the news.

Cao Pi’s eyes lit up, and he said strangely: “I heard that Uncle Miaocai only has a thousand soldiers and horses, and he can beat Liu Bei to such a crushing defeat?” ”

Xia Houyuan has a few pounds and taels, and he is very clear as a nephew.

This triumph naturally made him question.

“I heard that it was a young official named Cao Yuan, who gave advice to Uncle Xiahou in order to severely damage Liu Bei.”

“Cao Yuan?”

Cao Pi rolled his eyes a few times, scraping his memory, but he couldn’t think of who this strange name was.

Sima Yi also looked strange, and said with a sigh: “Under the command of Cao Gong, it is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and a small official in the district actually has the ability to severely damage Liu Bei!” ”

“Zidan, what is the origin of this Cao Yuan, why have I never heard of this person’s name?”

Cao Pi’s eyes were also full of doubts.

Cao Zhen lowered his voice and said, “Second brother, this Cao Yuan may be the man of conspiracy that our righteous father has recently obtained. ”

This statement came out.

Cao Pi’s figure was shocked, and surprise flashed in his eyes.

“Yi was in Hanoi County, and he heard this rumor, saying that there was an additional mysterious strategist under Cao Gong, and he had the ability to make no plans.”

“Such a strange person is actually a nameless official?”

Sima Yi also looked strange, but he was suspicious.

“In the past six months, my eyes and ears have been secretly tracking my righteous father, and I found that he often leaves the house in a slight uniform to meet this Cao Yuan…”

Cao Zhen gushed endlessly, so he connected the evidence and all kinds of speculations that he had secretly visited.

At last.

Cao Zhen said with a determined expression: “And when Uncle Xiahou broke Liu Bei, this Cao Yuan also happened to be present, so I am more sure that the man of conspiracy is him!” ”

Cao Pi gasped and exclaimed, “It’s really strange that a cangling has such a heavenly ability!” ”

“Zihuan Gongzi!”

“This person has extraordinary wisdom and has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements, and will definitely become a heavy minister of the Cao family in the future.”

“And according to Cao Gong’s trust in him, he will not only be a heavy minister in the future, but also a henchman who speaks with great weight and can make Cao Gong’s words obey.”

“Now that you know who he is, Gongzi, you must immediately send someone to Xuzhou to encircle this person before Zijian Gongzi.”

Sima Yi looked solemn and advised Cao Pi.

Cao Pi suddenly realized and nodded: “Zhongda’s words are reasonable, and Zijian must not be allowed to take the lead, but who should be sent to encircle it.” ”

“Yi Bucai, I am willing to take a trip for Zihuan Gongzi, and go to encircle this person for Gongzi.”

“Moreover, Yi also wants to see what kind of demeanor this ingenious strategist is.”

Sima Yi volunteered.

Cao Pi was overjoyed and said cheerfully: “Okay, good, Zhongda is out of the horse, why worry that this person is not subordinate to me!” ”

Sima Yi immediately resigned, and went straight to Xuzhou in the starry night.

And right now.

North of Xu Ducheng, in another private house.

Cao Zhi is also expressing the same sentiment.

“Unexpectedly, there was a prodigy hidden in a cangling.”

“Father has the help of such strange people, why can’t he calm the world!”

Cao Zhi was amazed, but he did not hide his joy.

Ding Yi was puzzled: “If my uncle wants to reuse this Cao Yuan, he can directly reveal his identity and promote him to the overlord mansion as a mastermind, but why would he ask him for a plan under the guise of Wang Bi’s identity.” ”

Apparently.

Cao Zhi’s side was also secretly investigating the rumored conspirators.

The news of Fengcheng’s great victory also allowed them to confirm that Cao Yuan was the person they were looking for.

“It’s a little strange, but none of it matters.”

“This person’s future status must be very important, and his attitude is very likely to influence the determination of Cao Gongchu.”

“Such an important person, Zihuan Gongzi must want to encircle, we must be the first to win him over.”

Yang Xiu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Bearing the name of “prodigy”, he is Cao Zhi’s real mastermind.

“Dezu’s words are reasonable, this Cao Yuan must be contained.”

Cao Zhi thought deeply and nodded repeatedly.

Yang Xiu threw up his hand: “Zijian Gongzi, Xiu is willing to personally go to Xuzhou and recruit this Cao Yuan into the seat for the prince.” ”

Cao Zhi’s face was beaming, and he said cheerfully: “This is very good, then without further ado, Dezu will go to Xuzhou as soon as possible.” ”

Yang Xiu immediately retreated and rushed to Xuzhou overnight.

That night, Sima Yi and Yang Xiu left Xudu one after another and went straight to Xuzhou.

Two days later.

In the name of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao issued an edict reprimanding Liu Bei and Lü Bu as rebels, personally led an army of 40,000, and went straight to Xuzhou.
