Cao Miao was surprised.

From Jianye to Houguan is not close, whether it is by land or sea, there are nearly 3,000 miles of road, not to mention the mountains and dense forests, high winds and waves.

Zhuge Liang didn't seem to need to be so thoughtful. Although the generals of the Wu State coveted these five hundred sets of ordnance, no one dared to snatch food from Madame Sun's mouth.

When he heard that the person in charge was Jiang Wei, he understood Zhuge Liang's intentions, and then felt deeply honored.

The gods are paying attention to me.

"Madame, do you know where this Jiang Wei came from?"

"It's just a general." Mrs. Sun thought about it, and her expression became a little more solemn. "You know this person?"

"I've heard of it." Cao Miao paused, and said: "Although I don't know much, Zhuge Liang values this person so much, he can't help but guard against it." ”

"Sending him to escort some ordnance is called a weapon?" Mrs. Sun squinted at Cao Miao, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Escorting ordnance is not called heavy, but it is not far away, and it is sent to the Hou official in person, and it is heavy. Madam, the point is not on ordnance, but on people. ”

"People? Which person? ”

"Of course, ma'am, you. Madame is in the center of Dawu, and she is in a high position, and she will move her whole body ......"

Mrs. Sun couldn't help but laugh and hurriedly interrupted Cao Miao. If he continues to speak, I don't know what crazy words will come out. Although there are no outsiders here, several female guards are confidants, and they also know her relationship with Cao Miao, after all, it is not a secret place, and it is always embarrassing to say it too affectionately.

"In this way, this Jiang Wei is Zhuge Liang's henchman."

"If you can't figure it out, it's still a successor. Didn't he just slash Ma Jian with tears, there must be someone to fill the hole. Otherwise, who will be killed in the next defeat? ”

"Poof!" Mrs. Sun still couldn't hold back after all, she stretched out her hand and slapped Cao Miao, but she felt that it was too frivolous and did not fit her identity, so she retracted her hand curtly, touched her chin and pretended to be deep. "In that case, then kill this Jiang Wei?"

"I'll see it." Cao Miao is in the middle of it.

——

After going around the city, Cao Miao gained a lot, and Mrs. Sun also opened her eyes.

Cao Miao took the trouble to find people to chat with, especially those who looked dark and short, and spoke bird language. Because she couldn't understand what they were saying, Cao Miao found several translators, and some even had to translate them several times, just to inquire about some news that didn't sound very reliable.

After analysis and comparison, Cao Miao came to a conclusion: Yizhou is in the southeast of Houguan, the farthest is not more than a thousand miles, the size should be comparable to Wu County, there is plain arable land, enough to establish a country. He even drew a sketch on which the possible shipping lanes were marked and the itinerary was estimated. If the ship can be renovated before the year, it will be able to reach it in three to four days if it is smooth and smooth with the north wind.

More importantly, from Yizhou to the north, it is possible to avoid the border of Wei and reach Liaodong. For Mrs. Sun, Liaodong is the key. If you avoid Wei and reach Liaodong quietly, it is more realistic than finding a land where you can establish a country.

Even if she believed in Cao Miao's ability, Mrs. Sun was still a little uneasy. For the sake of safety, she ordered Ge Heng to work overtime, first renovate a medium-sized warship that could carry thirty or fifty people, bring enough food and water, and recruit two students as guides to explore the road in Yizhou first.

Fanzi can row a canoe to Houguan, and this medium-sized warship can naturally reach Yizhou.

Cao Miao agreed with Mrs. Sun's plan, but made some suggestions on the question of who to arrange.

Mrs. Sun believes that there are brave men under the heavy reward, and as long as they are willing to spend money, they will definitely be able to find the right person to take risks. Cao Miao felt that the most suitable candidate did not cost money, and there were ready-made ones.

Gan Ning's son Gan Pei.

Overseas exploration requires not only familiarity with astronomy and water conditions, but also the ability to fight, land warfare, and water warfare. You can't expect the local students to be hospitable, set up a banquet to welcome you, and be prepared for a bloody battle.

Gan Pi was innocently demoted, lost his official title and food, but there were still some subordinates around him, many of which were the old ministries left by Gan Ning, and they really lived for the rest of their lives. It is a hidden danger for such a person to stay in Houguan, but it is a sharp weapon to be sent out for exploration.

In order to survive, they will go all out and be more fighting than those who just want to get rich.

Mrs. Sun felt justified, and the task of persuading Gan Pi was handed over to Cao Miao.

——

Gan Pi and his subordinates were imprisoned in a mountain col, about 200 households, nearly 1,000 people.

When Cao Miao saw him, he had just come off duty from the shipyard, sitting in a low grass house in a daze, with a pair of iron halberds in his hand, sweating profusely.

After a tiring day, the iron halberd was a little heavy for him, and he couldn't wield it as he used to.

Seeing Cao Miao coming, followed by only a young attendant, Gan Pi raised his hand and signaled the subordinates who came over not to be nervous.

Cao Miao walked up to Gan Pi, put her hands behind her back, and looked Gan Pi up and down.

"My surname is Cao, my name is Cao Miao, and I am from the country."

Gan Pei was stunned for a moment, looking a little strange. "Seeking revenge?"

Cao Miao shook her head. "I know who attacked me, and I know that you have suffered on behalf of others, and there is no revenge to be found." He grinned and laughed silently. "Besides, the culprit has been killed by me, Quan Cong has been demoted and reduced, and Princess Dahu has also been pried by me, I don't lose."

Gan Pie's cheeks twitched twice, not knowing what to say. He couldn't figure out Cao Miao's intention, it was neither a provocation nor a friendship.

"Are you a gentleman, or a villain?"

Gan Pi's eyes grew cold. "How?"

"It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. The villain takes revenge, from morning till night. ”

Gan Pi was speechless for a while and was silent for a long time. "So, you're here to give me a chance to get revenge?"

"Hmm." Cao Miao nodded and sat down beside Gan Pi. He looked at the pair of iron halberds. "Can I try it?"

Gan Pi stared at Cao Miao for a moment and nodded. Cao Miao picked up the iron halberd and touched it lightly, and the iron halberd made a crisp crashing sound. Iron is good iron, and when it is a hundred refining tools, from the point of view of the blade, it is not used much.

"Do you know who your enemy is?"

"I don't know." Gan Xun frowned, and there was a bitter anger in his eyes. "Please also ask Cao Jun for advice, who harmed me?"

"The entire Jiangdong clan."

Gan Pi was stunned for a moment, and the anger in his eyes quickly dissipated, turning into despair. If someone harms him, he can still risk his life and fight to the death. The entire Jiangdong clan doesn't even have a specific person, how can this revenge be avenged?

After a long silence, Gan Pi said, "If you want me to be grateful to you, I can invite you to drink." If you want me to die for you......" he gestured to the ragged old parts around him. "You saw it too, there's nothing I can do."

Cao Miao laughed. He put down his halberd, clapped his hands, rested his elbows on his knees, and looked into the distance.

"I don't want you to sell your life, if you have a vengeance, I can avenge it myself. I'm just giving you a choice, either, to fight for a future for these people, so that the people who hurt you will be terrified and can't sleep at night. Or, let them be prisoners for the rest of their lives, and let the people who hurt you take advantage of their wishes and lie down in peace. ”
