Cao Su received Xiahou Xu's warning, but he didn't take it seriously.

Sima Yi only had more than 30 horsemen, but he had 100 foot soldiers. With more than three times the number of troops, and fighting in the mountains and valleys that were not conducive to the cavalry galloping, he had the confidence that he would win.

The problem is that Sima Guo is not in the river valley, and the goal of robbing Sima Guo is no longer possible, so do you still want to attack?

It was too late to send someone back for instructions, and he had to make his own decision.

After thinking about it, Cao Su decided that the plan would not change, but the target would be changed to Sima Yi and his son. Sima Yi was the main culprit for Cao Xiu's defeat. If it weren't for Cao Miao's fight against poison with poison, Cao Xiu would have been angry.

The revenge of killing his father is not shared. This revenge must be avenged.

Cao Su also understands that robbing people while they are in chaos and attacking head-on are two different things, especially if the opponent is not ordinary, so he should be more careful. Not to mention anything else, the battle of Sima Yi's attack on Mengda at the beginning of the year was still impressive.

Cao Su gathered his subordinates, revised the goal, and told everyone that this matter was done, and everyone was rewarded. In the unlikely event that anyone is injured or even killed in battle, the family can also receive generous bereavement benefits. Of course, if anyone is cowardly in battle, or a traitor to seek glory, don't blame him for being polite.

These people are all core subordinates, and they are attached to Cao Xiu in their families and even clans, and if something happens, it is by no means a solution that can be solved by leaving. Compared with the killing of the whole family, death in battle is a more acceptable ending.

If it weren't for that, Cao Su wouldn't dare to take them out to rob people.

According to the original plan, Cao Su led his troops to the depths of the river valley. With someone sent by Xiahou Xu as a guide, he walked on the mountain path for half an hour, and he successfully arrived near Sima Yi's camp.

Sima Yi hasn't slept yet. Not only did they not sleep, but they were heavily guarded. Around the camp, you can see the figures on guard, not wearing armor, but they are all armed with shields and knives, ready for battle. Many knights had bows in their hands, bows were wound, and quivers were moved to their proper positions, ready to be fired.

In the middle of the camp, near the river, a bonfire was blazing, and several figures sat around it. Judging from the figure, it should be Sima Yi's father and son. Standing next to them were several tall armorers, their iron armor glowing coldly in the light of the campfire.

From them, Cao Su smelled a dangerous aura. Needless to say, these people are Sima Yi's most trusted henchmen, and they are the last line of defense to protect Sima Yi.

Cao Su carefully observed, counted the heads, and only counted more than twenty people. According to the reconnaissance in advance, there should be more than thirty people around Sima Yi, and the news from Xiahou Xu also confirmed this. In other words, there were about ten people who were treated as surprise soldiers by Sima Yi and hidden.

This is common sense in the use of soldiers, and Cao Su is no stranger to it. Now that he knew of the existence of these people, the danger was greatly reduced.

Cao Su called a team leader and asked him to arrange five people to attack from different directions to distract Sima Yi. The remaining five shis were divided into two parts by him, one part was three shi, and they were responsible for receiving cover, and once the ten people who Sima Yi had hidden appeared, they would be intercepted immediately. A part of the two shi, led by him personally, went straight to Sima Yi himself, in order to achieve a quick victory.

The arrangements were made, and everyone went their separate ways.

Two quarters of an hour later, Ichishi launched an attack at the southern end of the valley. With the help of the cover of rocks and trees, they forced near the cordon of Sima's tribes, first attacked with bows and crossbows, shot two people, and then launched a strong attack.

Sima's troops immediately adjusted their formation, sent reinforcements, and relied on the terrain to block the attack.

The two sides come and go, arrows and arrows collide, swords and shields resonate, and the killing is inseparable.

After a while, there was also a battle at the northern end of the valley, and the shouts of killing were heard far along the valley.

Sima Yi sat by the campfire, his eyes staring at the flickering fire, flickering bright and dark, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth. He took a sip of wine and said to Sima Shi and Sima Zhao: "Ziyuan, Zishang, you say, did Cao Miao collude with Cao Su?" ”

Sima Shi said: "Naturally, there is. Cao Su often went to Yongqiu Mansion to compete with Cao Miao's guard, Ah Hu, and naturally met Cao Miao. Cao Miao didn't want to get married, so it was natural to ask Cao Su to rob Ah Guo. ”

Sima Zhao nodded in agreement.

Sima Yi shook his head. "What I'm talking about is, does Cao Miao know that Cao Su launched an attack now, or does he want Cao Su to attack, or does he not want Cao Su to attack?"

Sima Shi looked around. "I don't think so. Ah Guo entered the village, Cao Su couldn't rob anyone, he was unprofitable. He snorted and said, "It's already a blind date, can he still regret it?" This should be Cao Su's own cleverness and wanting to avenge his father, and it has nothing to do with Cao Miao. ”

Sima Yi raised his eyelids, glanced at Sima Shi, and smiled silently. "Ziyuan, you take a few people to the east side. There are suspicious soldiers in the north and south, and Cao Su must come from the eastern slope. He has a lot of strength, and he has asked Cao Miao for martial arts, you have to be careful, don't be reckless. ”

Sima Shi answered, got up and left. Sima Yi raised his hand, and the four armor soldiers followed, protecting Sima Shi.

Sima Yi stood up and looked up at Buzhou Villa halfway up the mountain. There are still lights in the villa, obviously not resting yet, maybe Cao Miao is standing on the small building watching the battle. Thinking of a conversation with Cao Miao, Sima Yi sighed secretly.

Cao Miao's hostility towards him was stronger than he could have imagined. His weakness, his forbearance, and his compromise did not seem to have any effect. Cao Miao asked him to tell the name of the mastermind behind the scenes through the mouth of Xiahou Hui to express the sincerity of the alliance, which is evident.

How could he possibly say the man's name? Don't say it's him, even the Son of Heaven can't help that person. Cao Miao pretended to be crazy and stupid, but he was just a person who jumped off the beam, and he still had some opportunities to deal with Cangji and Wang Ji, but he had no chance at all to deal with that person.

The changes in Luoyang and the rebellion of Wei in the last years of Jian'an had the shadow of that person behind them, and Emperor Wu knew it, but he was helpless. In order to compete for the heir, Emperor Wen could only worship under the bed and give five cooked cauldrons to make his mind clear.

Cao Miao is a child, how can he shake his foundation.

It's not that he doesn't want to tell Cao Miao. If Cao Miao had the ability to overturn that person, or even the entire Ruying family, he would not hesitate to tell Cao Miao the name of that person. But Cao Miao didn't have this ability, so telling him would be harmful. Even if Cao Miao didn't measure himself and wanted to clash with that person, he didn't want to be caught in the middle. He just wants to watch from the wall, watch Cao Miao hit his head and bleed, and then see if he can profit from it.

But now there was a little accident, Cao Miao actually accepted this family business, and the twists and turns he expected did not appear at all.

Once the news broke, would the man still be able to trust him?

Sima Yi scratched his head, there was a feeling that he couldn't fish, but was dragged into the water by the fish.
