Sun Quan closed his eyes and lay on the quilt, with a cloth towel on his forehead.

Mrs. Bu tested the temperature of the cloth towel with her hand, knelt in front of the bed, and tucked the corners of the quilt.

Sun Luyu sat aside with a volume of "Book of Han" and read it softly, it was "The Biography of Peng Yue".

Sun Quan listened for a while, suddenly opened his eyes, beckoned, and called Sun Luyu to the front. "Xiaohu, what do you think of Cao Miao?"

Sun Luyu blinked. "I wonder what my father is referring to?"

"Uh-huh......" Sun Quan muttered. He didn't know exactly what to say for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "Do you think he will deceive Dahu?" ”

Sun Luyu tilted his head and thought for a moment. "What is he trying to deceive? Wealth, sex, or power? ”

Sun Quan smiled bitterly. He didn't know what Cao Miao would deceive Sun Luban. If you want to talk about wealth, Cao Miao is not short of money, he came to Jiangdong with four or five billion money, which is enough for him to live comfortably. If you want to talk about color, although Sun Luban is handsome, but in terms of Cao Miao's identity, there is no shortage of beauties around him, and those bearded girls are all outstanding in appearance.

There seems to be only power. But he really wanted to gain a foothold in the Wu Kingdom, and it seemed that there was no need to clash with the Jiangdong family.

With his literary talent and martial arts, it is not difficult to make a name for himself in Jiangdong.

That Dongting Fu that everyone recites, others don't know who the author is, but he knows it clearly. Cao Miao has such a literary talent, but he refuses to show it, which shows that he is really not interested in fame.

It seems that there is only revenge, borrowing the strength of Wu, robbing and killing the descendants of the Yuan family, and completing the interception of the Yuan bloodline usurping Wei.

If the motive is credible, then the trouble is the feasibility.

When they arrived in Liaodong, thousands of miles away, it was impossible to achieve rescue, and they could only rely on Mrs. Sun and Sun Luban themselves, could they be restrained by Cao Miao? Will it be in vain to work hard and end up making clothes for people?

The possibility exists.

Cao Miao doesn't seem to have many people around him, but he must have hidden his strength in secret. Madame Sun had vaguely mentioned this issue, including the assassin who had entered the Wuchang Palace to assassinate him. Coupled with Cao Su's special identity, after arriving in Liaodong, it is not difficult to form some unknown forces.

In this way, Wu Jun has become an out-and-out guest army.

What to do?

"Supreme, are you still worried about Liaodong's affairs?" Madame Bu asked softly.

"You know that, too?"

"Sister Yuan has never asked about government affairs, and the king rarely goes to her palace, and she has been going there frequently recently, so I think it has something to do with it."

"Who else in the palace knows?"

"No, that is, the concubine is talkative, please forgive the supreme for your sins."

Sun Quan's expression eased, and he said in a harmonious voice: "It's nothing." It's just that this matter is confidential and should not be known to too many people. Your tone has always been rigorous, and you are the biological mother of the big tiger, and you can be trusted. ”

"Supreme, since it's a matter of confidentiality, why don't you discuss it with the minister?"

"Chancellor?" Sun Quan smiled bitterly: "Which minister will support it?" The last time an envoy was sent to Liaodong, there was already a lot of opposition from the DPRK and China. Now they want to send people to fight in Liaodong, and they are the female commanders of the two clans, and they are allied with the Wei people, do you think they will agree? ”

Mrs. Bu also felt unreliable, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Not only can't he consult with them, but he also has to find a way to hide it from them. Zhou Yi ......"

Speaking of Zhou Yi, Sun Quan patted his forehead and felt that his head hurt even more.

Zhou Yi was defeated and captured, and lost another arm, which made him suspect that Cao Su did it on purpose, just like Jiang Wei had his legs broken.

However, it reminded him of the value of Zhou Doi. Cao Su's tactics are strange, and although there are people in the Wu army who understand this tactics, the person who has the deepest experience is none other than Zhou Yi. In terms of the several principles mentioned in Sun Luban's report, Sun Xi and Quan Cong did not have such a profound understanding.

"Zhou Yi is a talent." Mrs. Step said.

"Yes, it's indeed a talent, but it's a pity that it's crippled."

"Breaking an arm, although it is inconvenient, does not prevent the command of the army."

Sun Quan's heart moved, and then he laughed. He looked at Mrs. Step. "You say, how about letting him assist the big tiger and give advice to the big tiger?"

Mrs. Step smiled slightly. "If the Supreme thinks it's good, it's naturally good."

Sun Quan laughed, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was really genius. Let Zhou Yi follow Sun Luban to Liaodong, not only to give him the opportunity to atone for his sins, but also to let him verify his experience, and at the same time to help Sun Luban give advice, lest Sun Luban be unavailable and be swayed by Cao Miao.

Sun Quan got up in his clothes, and ordered Mrs. Bu to prepare pen and ink, and waved it.

——

At the end of the first month, Sun Luban received Sun Quan's edict and basically agreed to her plan, but emphasized that it should be kept secret.

In addition, there was also an edict dedicated to Zhou Yi, who moved Zhou Yi to the left as a military lieutenant and went north to Liaodong with Sun Luban.

Sun Luban consulted Cao Miao's opinion, and Cao Miao said it didn't matter. He just wants to find the evidence that Cao Rui is Yuan Ei, cut off Yuan Ei's back road, and nothing else matters. If Zhou Yi can help him achieve this, he is more than welcome. If Zhou Yi affects this, he will not hesitate to kill him.

Sun Luban sent people up the mountain to deliver Sun Quan's edict to Zhou Yi.

After weighing it repeatedly, Zhou Yi accepted the edict and was willing to assist Sun Luban.

The last obstacle was resolved, and the negotiations were finally reached, and everyone was happy.

Of course, it was claimed to the outside world that Sun Luban had leveled the cottage, and Cao Su and a few others took advantage of the chaos to break through and hide in the mountains, with unknown life and death.

Seeing Zhou Yi again, Cao Miao didn't miss the opportunity to tease him. At that time, I advised you not to be too confident, but you didn't accept it, and now you have lost an arm, and you are convinced?

Zhou Yi sneered at each other. The outcome is undecided, what is there to convince or disbelieve? If I lose an arm today, I may have the opportunity to cut off Cao Su's head in the future, and who will be the final victor is uncertain.

Cao Miao laughed out loud and gave a thumbs up. I admire the determination of the disabled and hope that you can always be so strong.

Zhou Yi ignored Cao Miao, but asked a question: When you arrive in Liaodong, are you going to kill the descendants of the Yuan family directly, or are you going to leave them alive, negotiate terms with Yuan Rong, and force him to abdicate?

Cao Miao put away her smile, pondered for a long time, and said very sincerely: I haven't thought about it yet, and now things haven't come to that point, so I don't need to think too much. After all, the Gongsun clan is tightly guarded, and there is no way to see the descendants of the Yuan clan and get conclusive evidence now. It's too late to think about these things.

Zhou Yi took the opportunity to put forward a suggestion: it is better for us to gamble again, and cooperate and compete, whoever can win first, will listen to whomever he wants. If our Wu army robs people first, it is up to us to decide what to do with these people. If you rob someone first, it's up to you to decide.

Cao Miao thought about it for a long time, and finally accepted Zhou Yi's proposal, but it was agreed that both sides would have their own wonders, but they were not allowed to tear each other down. If we tear each other down, we will lose the meaning of cooperation, and it is better for everyone to do their own thing.

After repeated negotiations and quarrels, an agreement was finally reached.

At the end of February, Cao Miao and his entourage arrived at Houguan.

At the beginning of April, when the south wind rose, Sun Luban led two building ships and two hundred troublesome soldiers to set sail.

Almost at the same time, Mrs. Sun also led six ships to set sail from Yizhou and sailed all the way north.
