Chapter 285 – Cao Cao's Plot

Cao Cao played as a hero in the chaos.

Wang Yun swallowed his pride and bowed, "We gain another 30,000 soldiers, 20,000 labor slaves, 350,000 gold, and 500,000 stones of food."

Xun You did not speak. He passed the contracts that all nobles had signed to Cao Cao.

"Very well. Next task, I want the little girl to issue another edict for me."

Wang Yun's eyebrows twitched, yet he nodded, "What do you want to do next?"
