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

Fengcheng.

In the private house, Xia Houjuan, Mi Zhen, and Xiao Qiao Sanmei were busy packing their things again.

But instead of going back to Xudu, he was going to Xiaopei.

Xia Houyuan just sent someone to convey an order this morning, saying that Cao Cao's army was on the way, and asked him, as quartermaster, to accompany Xia Houyuan to Xiaopei first, waiting for the army to come and meet.

I thought that after the cloth-selling errand was over, I could take a few beauties back to Xudu, stay away from Xuzhou, a place of right and wrong, and enjoy the happy days of being drunk and lying on the knees of beauties.

This order ruined his dream.

I have no choice but to pack my things and prepare to go to Xiaopei

"Reporting to the young master, there is a young master outside who claims to be Sima Yi of Hanoi and wants to pay a visit to the master."

Yan Yunwei came in to report.

Sima Yi?

A name he was very familiar with.

At this time, shouldn't this guy be hiding in his hometown in Hanoi, waiting for the overall situation in the world to be decided, and then decide whether to serve for the Yuan family or the Cao family.

How could he do that? He came to Xuzhou and wanted to visit him?

He and he were incompatible with each other. They were two parallel lines with no intersection at all.

"He is a guest, please invite him in."

Cao Yuan suppressed his suspicion and wanted to see what Sima Yi was up to.

Not long after, a young, yet old-fashioned face caught Cao Yuan's eyes.

"Under Sima Yi, I met Cao Cangling."

Sima Yi stepped forward and bowed his hands with a smile on his face.

Cao Yuan looked at that smiling face, but there was an indescribable disgust in his heart.

To be fair, he and Sima Yi had never met before, and they had no interests or grudges.

But.

The man in front of me, a veteran of the three dynasties of Cao and Wei, betrayed the trust placed in him by three generations of the Cao family in the last years of his life.

From a loyal minister, he became a powerful minister!

Although he regarded himself as a minister of Wei throughout his life, He was not even declared king.

However, the Gaopingling Incident that he personally directed allowed the Sima family to take control of the military and political power of Cao Wei in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for his descendants to usurp the throne and claim the throne.

Unfortunately, his descendants failed to live up to expectations, and eight kings fought for the throne. When the Central Plains became a river of blood, the Hu people took the opportunity to rise up.

Then the Five Husties destroyed China and the mainland of China sank. The Han people will go through three hundred years of hard struggle in the dark years before they can usher in the dawn.

The man in front of me is the initiator of all disasters.

I know. With all the dirty information about him, how could Cao Yuan not feel disgusted with him?

"I'm Sima Yi, and I'm here to pay Cao Cang Ling a special visit!"

Sima Yi saw Cao Yuan staring at him without speaking, and his eyes were quite hostile, so he had to bow again.

Cao Yuan's thoughts returned from memory to reality, and he put away the disgust in his eyes.

"It turned out to be Mr. Sima, whom I had admired for a long time."

Cao Yuan treated each other with courtesy and asked Sima Yi to have tea.

The guests and hosts sat down.

"I am just a small official, but Mr. Sima is the famous Sima Bada. How can I have the leisure and ambition to come to visit you?"

Cao Yuan laughed at himself.

His words were not self-effacing. In terms of fame, Sima Yi was indeed far better than him.

"Cao Cang Ling is really humble."

"Sima Bada is just a false name, how can he be compared with Cao Cang Ling."

Sima Yi also laughed at himself.

Cao Yuan said calmly:"I never like to beat around the bush. What's the matter with Mr. Sima? You might as well tell me directly. This straightforwardness of not following the routine made Sima Yi look slightly embarrassed.

After coughing, he said with a smile:"I actually made a special trip to visit Cao Cangling on the orders of Master Zihuan.""

Master Zihuan.

Cao Pi?

A person who is completely out of reach of him.

The second son of the Cao family, with such a high status, he would send Sima Yi, a famous son from a well-known family, all the way to Xuzhou to visit him?

Isn't this true ? Are you sick?

Cao Yuan immediately noticed something unusual

"Master Sima, are you kidding me? I am just an unknown petty official. I am afraid that Master Zihuan has never even heard of me, so why would I bother Master Sima to make a special trip to visit me?"

Cao Yuan suppressed his suspicion and responded with a pretense of self-deprecation.

Sima Yi's eyes also flashed a bit of doubt.

His reputation for having no plans has long been spread outside, and everyone in the world is guessing.

Cao Pi's identity How could Cao Cao's eldest son not know his name?

Sima Yi was a little confused, whether the Cao Yuan in front of him was just pretending to be humble, or whether he really didn't know that he was famous all over the world.

"This person is indeed enigmatic!"

"His words must have a deeper meaning than what he meant on the surface."

"Well, I'll just follow his words first and try to figure out the deeper meaning behind his words."

Sima Yi thought about it in his mind.

"Mr. Zijian has always been courteous to virtuous corporals, whether they are countrymen or low-level officials, as long as they have talents, Mr. Zihuan treats them all equally."

"Because of this, after he heard about Cao Cang Ling's talent, he specially entrusted him to come down to visit Cao Cang Ling."

Sima Yi then made up an impeccable reason and praised Cao Pi.

Cao Yuan couldn't help but frown.

Cao Pi may indeed be courteous to virtuous corporals, but he is also a"scholar". The so-called scholar is at least a famous person from a well-known family and a talented person.

There is no way that a small official like me would be among them.

"Could it be that Wang Bi leaked the news and let Cao Pi know that I was giving Wang Bi advice behind the scenes?"

Cao Yuan could only think of this explanation.

He asked calmly:"I wonder where Master Zihuan heard that I am a talented person. Could it be the king's chief clerk?"

Sima Yi didn't understand again.

He heard Cao Pi mention that Cao Cao was pretending to be Wang Bi and often asked Cao Yuan for advice.

But after listening to Cao Yuan's words, it seemed that he didn't know that Cao Cao was the king's chief secretary in his mouth?

Or was Cao Yuan the king's chief secretary? Deliberately pretending to be confused because he understands?

Then what is his purpose of pretending to be confused?

Sima Yi's scalp was a little numb. He didn't understand why Cao Yuan was pretending to be confused, but he got confused first.

"Cao Cang Ling was indeed an expert at predicting events. Yes, Mr. Zihuan learned about Cao Cang Ling's talent and name from the king's bookkeeper."

Unable to understand the deep meaning of Cao Yuan's words, Sima Yi could only continue to follow his words, and complimented Cao Yuan again along the way.

"It is indeed Wang Bi!"

"I knew that he couldn't keep a secret with his mouth, and he would have to take me out sooner or later....."

Cao Yuan frowned and complained secretly in his heart.
