Cao Su squatted on a large rock, holding his helmet in one hand and scratching his head with the other.

I haven't washed my hair for a few days, and my scalp itches terribly. But it's nothing compared to a headache.

Wu's response was quick, and Jiang Wei came faster, drove straight from the official road, and reached Hanxing County (present-day Pucheng) before him, occupying the northbound road. He now has only one option left, to cross the Wuyi Mountains and enter Poyang County.

But he was not familiar with the terrain of the area, and he could get lost in the mountains if he rushed into the mountains, or starve to death in the mountains because of the lack of supplies.

Getting into trouble so quickly was something he hadn't thought of before, and he couldn't be taken lightly. After thinking about it, he decided to discuss it with Cao Miao, although he felt that Cao Miao might not be willing to help him.

For Cao Miao, it was obviously better to stay in Wu than to return to Luoyang.

After a while, Cao Miao walked over, looked at Cao Su's face, and grinned.

"Got in trouble?"

Cao Su didn't hide it either, and nodded vigorously. Jiang Wei caught up and robbed the official road, and now it seems that the only way to go into the mountain is to enter the mountain. However, the mountain road is not familiar, and if you get lost, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"Jiang Wei?" Cao Miao was also surprised. "So fast?"

"yes, I'm a little careless. Or are you right, those Yizhou barbarians are more accustomed to the terrain here than we are. ”

"Maybe it's more than just the terrain." Cao Miao laughed twice. "This Jiang Wei shot so fast, he shouldn't have delayed a little time on the road, day and night, straight into Wu Xing, closed the door and beat the dog......"

"Yunliang, who is the dog?" Cao Su was a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, shut the door and fight the tiger." Cao Miao patted Cao Su's shoulder as a sign of comfort. "Have you ever thought that even if you don't get lost in the mountains and climb over the mountains, there may be Wu Jun waiting for you?"

Cao Su nodded. He has already thought about this problem. The Wu army passed the news along the official road, which was faster and had enough time to mobilize troops and horses. When he comes out of the mountains, he is likely to rush headlong into the ambush circle of the Wu army.

Unless he never takes the official road, he always walks the mountain road.

This is clearly unrealistic.

"You mean a hard rush?"

"I just think that Jiang Wei has so many people, he can't block all the mountain roads, he can only focus on protection. Even if he divides his troops into two places, the advantage of troops will be gone, and you have the strength to fight, so why should you run away? As for those county officials of Wu County, they shouldn't be able to stop you. ”

Cao Su pondered for a moment, and his eyes gradually lit up. "Yunliang, you have a point, just do it."

"How do you know he didn't lure you into an ambush on purpose?" Xiahou Hui's voice came from behind him. Cao Miao turned his head and saw that Xiahou Hui was standing next to the tree not far away, and he stood for about a while, but he didn't make a sound, so he was not discovered.

Cao Miao smiled silently, got up and left. Cao Su wanted to stop him, but Cao Miao looked at Xiahou Hui and seemed to be smiling.

"Don't you hear? It was probably all premeditated by me. If you listen to me, you won't be afraid that I will take you to the ditch? ”

Before Cao Su could speak, Xiahou Hui also stared at Cao Miao and sneered: "Then Jiang Wei came so quickly, I'm afraid that he will start chasing before we set off from Jianping." You dare to say that this is not something you pre-arranged? ”

Cao Su's eyes flickered, and he didn't say a word. He actually had similar concerns, but he was too embarrassed to say it.

Cao Miao laughed. "You think too highly of me, how can I have such an unpredictable prophetic ability. Ready, of course I have some. For example, if I want to run away now, can you stop me? ”

Xiahou Hui hated it so much that his teeth itched, and his momentum was seriously frustrated. If she really provoked Cao Miao, Cao Miao refused to go back, she really couldn't do anything.

"If you want to talk about accidents, it is your husband's reaction that is more surprising than mine." Cao Miao turned his hands behind his back and circled Xiahou Hui twice. "Why don't we make a bet?"

"Bet on what?"

"If there is only one person alive between you and him, he will not hesitate to choose himself. He will even sacrifice you if necessary. ”

"Does that make sense?" Xiahou Hui sneered.

"It doesn't make sense, I just think it's ridiculous that you're making a fool of yourself." He glanced back at Cao Su, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. "Desi is upright, I can't see Sima Shi's careful thoughts, and you can't see it? Look at your snot and tears, who are you fooling? ”

After speaking, without waiting for Xiahou Hui to speak, Cao Miao laughed loudly and walked away.

Xiahou Hui's face was pale, his lips were pursed tightly, and he didn't say a word.

As Cao Miao said, if she is as smart as her, how can she not see Sima Shi's thoughts. Sima Shi's visit to Sun Luban seemed dangerous, but it was not. Sun Luban had no reason to kill him. On the contrary, it seemed safe to let her retreat with Cao Su and Cao Miao, but it was actually dangerous. Once engaged, the sword has no eyes, and she can be injured at any time, and she can die at any time.

Not to mention anything else, a few days of rapid marching made her suffer.

This is not really in the mountains yet. If you really want to enter Wuyi Mountain, no one can guarantee whether you can come out alive.

Sima Shi had long expected this, so he could take her with him to Houguan, but he used Cao Su's reason to keep her. He was so determined, so happy, without a hint of hesitation, almost impatient.

Sima Shi may not be as smart as her, but he is more decisive than her.

"Yuanrong, Ziyuan really thinks so?" Cao Su listened to Cao Miao's words and was terrified. Although he hated Sima Shi, he never thought that Sima Shi would be so ruthless. Sima Yi is shameless enough to pit Cao Xiu, and if Sima Shi does this, he will be even more shameless than Sima Yi.

"Are you concerned about the wrong point?" Xiahou Hui said angrily: "It's not enough, you better hurry up and decide which way to go." The longer the delay, the more pursuers. When Princess Sun leads the troops to catch up, you really can't leave. ”

Cao Su woke up like a dream and nodded again and again. "Yuanrong, I think Yunliang is reasonable. Instead of going over the mountains and mountains, it is better to face Jiang Wei head-on. As long as we can induce him to divide our forces, we have the strength to fight. ”

Xiahou Hui thought about it and agreed with Cao Su's judgment. The lesser of two evils, compared to entering an unfamiliar mountain without any preparation, it is obviously more certain to forcibly break through Jiang Wei's blockade.

"You are now a general of an army, you must be assertive, but you can't be led by the nose if you refer to other people's advice."

Cao Su nodded in agreement, and watched Xiahou Hui turn around and leave. After walking for a few days on the mountain road, Xiahou Hui obviously showed fatigue. When did she suffer such hardships when she was pampered since she was a child, but he didn't hear Xiahou Hui complain. Compared with Xiahou Xuan, she is a stronger woman.

Cao Su immediately called his subordinates and ordered them to prepare and break through Jiang Wei's defenses.

In the evening, they set out again, returned to the official road, and began a rapid march.
