Chapter 55: No Entry

Cao Miao was stunned for a while before he reacted, Cao Xiu's military action could not be decided by him alone, and it was inevitable that the imperial court would approve the action plan, and then the imperial court would approve the action plan and issue an edict to all states to cooperate.

Chenliu County belongs to Yanzhou, and it is reasonable to receive the edict.

Cao Miao wanted to ask more carefully, but he knew in his heart that these specific details were not something he could understand. There are only a limited number of reliable historical dramas in Chinese film and television dramas, and history books lack enough details, so it is impossible for a non-history professional actor like him to really figure it out.

Cao Zhi still understands this kind of thing best, but he can't let Sun Hao go directly to see Cao Zhi. He presents himself as suffering from a mad illness and does not care about the world, and he is not very suitable for being too concerned with such overly serious and serious issues.

Cao Miaoqiang was puzzled in his heart, and pretended to be indifferent and said: "In this way, Ling Zun will be busy with the case again, and he will have no time to practice." ”

"yes." Sun Hao thought so, and said again: "My father is worried that when the prince passes by Chen Liu, he may not have the opportunity to ask the prince for advice in person, so he is sent down to greet the prince and accompany the prince. If you can get the prince's point of one or two, it is also an opportunity. ”

Cao Miao smiled. "Lingzun is entangled in official duties, and it is not convenient to cultivate one's self, but it does not hinder one's self-cultivation. As long as the heart is like a rock and the eight winds do not move, why are you afraid of thunder, rain and dew, wind and rain? ”

Sun Hao nodded with a smile and said, "The prince is smart." "I didn't take it seriously in my heart. Who wouldn't say this kind of clichΓ©? The cold words on the scene are just words, don't take it too seriously.

Seeing this scene, Cao Miao didn't say much. Sun Hao is young, and his interest in cultivating immortals may not be as strong as Sun Yong's, so it is useless to say more.

"How many hours has Ling Zun been sitting now?"

Sun Hao was slightly stunned. "How many hours?"

Cao Miao frowned slightly and looked at Sun Hao unhappily. Seeing this, Sun Hao's heart was empty, and he hurriedly said, "Eh, my father...... Usually only about half an hour, if you have leisure, there is no distraction from mundane things, and you can sit for an hour. ”

Cao Miao nodded, closed her mouth, and never said a word again, but the faint disappointment between her eyebrows couldn't escape Sun Hao's eyes. Sun Hao didn't dare to ask more. He is also interested in cultivating immortals, but he is not as obsessed with his father Sun Yong. I usually meditate, but the time is shorter, not even half an hour. Seeing Cao Miao's expression, he was embarrassed to say it, for fear of being laughed at by Cao Miao.

The two sat across from each other in silence.

Sun Hao fidgeted and wanted to open his mouth several times, but when he saw Cao Miao looking like he didn't want to deal with him, he still couldn't open his mouth after all. He got up to say goodbye, Cao Miao was indifferent, and Ah Hu sent him out. At the gate of the courtyard, Sun Hao couldn't help but ask, "How long does it usually take for the eldest prince to sit down?" ”

Ah Hu said lightly: "Usually two hours, sitting all night is also common, less can not be less, but also an hour." ”

Sun Hao's cheeks twitched and blurted out. "So long?"

"Well, an hour is the threshold. If you sit for less than an hour, it is difficult to enter the door of cultivating immortals. Hu shrugged. I just couldn't sit still, I was scolded by the eldest prince as a fool, and I had no chance with immortality. ”

Sun Hao's originally somewhat arrogant heart was hit by a crit, so he didn't dare to ask again, politely said goodbye, and turned to visit Cao Zhi.

The room was not cleaned up yet, Cao Zhi sat in the hall, watching the servants and slaves busy, and sighed for a long time.

He had just learned that there was an edict from the imperial court, and he needed Chenliu County to provide some grain, grass, and baggage for the Wu army, and also to requisition some county soldiers as civilian servants. Obviously, it is a foregone conclusion that the Great Sima Cao Xiu wants to defeat Wu. In the face of such a major event, he could not express his opinion, not even a word.

Cao Miao forbade him to speak, otherwise he would sever the father-son relationship.

The reason why Cao Zhi accepted Cao Miao's conditions was of course not because he was afraid that Cao Miao would sever the relationship between father and son, but because Mrs. Xie persuaded him: You should listen to the eldest prince, just like you should have listened to Mrs. Cui in the first place.

When it comes to Mrs. Cui, Cao Zhi is like having his backbone broken, and he no longer has the courage to resist.

Sun Hao came to visit, although Cao Zhi was full of words and wanted to ask, but in the end he was still stuffy in his stomach, and just said some things that were not salty or light.

During this period, Cao Zhi brought the pavilion chief, who was originally very calm, but when he saw Sun Hao here, his expression was a little flustered, and he didn't dare to speak for a long time. Cao Zhi said that he wanted to borrow a set of carriages from the pavilion chief, but the pavilion chief said that there were military affairs that needed to be passed on at the moment, and the carriages and horses must be kept in reserve and could not be borrowed.

The reason is naturally right, but it is also true that the pavilion chief did not take Cao Zhi's father and son seriously, otherwise even if the sky falls, this carriage can be borrowed.

Cao Zhi's face became ugly.

Sun Hao became angry when he heard it. The pavilion chief looked down on Cao Zhi's father and son, that is, he did not give his father Sun Yong, Chen Liutai, to save face. If Cao Miao gets angry and doesn't talk to Sun Yong about the way of cultivating immortals in the future, he will be able to escape the blame.

However, Sun Hao is a scholar, and he will become an official in two years, so he will naturally not be too explicit. He thoughtfully said that the pavilion chief was very thoughtful, and there was indeed military affairs at the moment, and the carriages and horses needed to be spared. But it doesn't matter, I have a chariot and a horse to give to the king.

Sun Hao turned around, asked the pavilion chief's name and place of origin, and said to his entourage, this pavilion chief is diligent in state affairs, and he should be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, so let him be responsible for escorting the baggage to Shouchun and serving in front of the Great Sima Army.

Before Sun Hao's words were finished, the pavilion chief knelt down and begged for mercy with a handful of snot and tears. Serving in the army is no different from sending him to death. Even if you can come back alive, it is not easy to walk thousands of miles back and forth. As for meritorious service, is it that easy? Counting from the time of Emperor Wu, which time Wu was able to fight, either returned in vain or suffered a loss.

Cao Zhi saw it in his eyes, and his heart was mixed. As a vassal king, he can't summon a small pavilion chief, and he has to rely on Sun Hao, a white body who has no official position. With this ability, do you still want to influence the decision-making of the Son of Heaven?

Cao Zhi went out with the frightened pavilion chief, and Cao Zhi and Sun Hao said a few words. Sun Hao introduced the general situation, and although Cao Zhi wanted to ask in detail, he couldn't help it.

With Sun Hao coming forward, things are much easier. Cao Zhi borrowed a cart and two horses from the pavilion, which Cao Zhi rode on, and replaced an old cow to come down. He ordered the old cow to be slaughtered for a group of dozens of people to improve their food. One person and a half catty of meat, Lao Song and others who have a chance to return to the battle are doubled.

Cao Zhi originally thought that he had done a good job, but he was criticized by Cao Miao again. Han Jin is relatively small, only 250 grams in later generations, one catty is equal to half a catty, and half a catty is only two two or five, that is, a few mouthfuls of things, just to satisfy hunger, should not be used. Lao Song and their long-term nutritional deficiencies, if they want to recover their strength before arriving in Luoyang and make the Yongqiu Mansion look good, this bit of meat is far from enough.

Cao Miao asked Cao Zhi to double the supply, and some people such as Ah Hu can eat as much as they want, don't worry about not having enough beef. Seeing that Cao Zhi was embarrassed, Qingtao took the initiative to persuade that the guards in the house had no meat for many years, and it may not be a good thing to eat too much at once, so it is better to take it slowly and increase a little bit every day, so that they can have a process of adaptation, so as not to be self-defeating.

Cao Miao felt justified and accepted Qingtao's suggestion.

Cao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and discharged from the hospital, and conveyed Cao Miao's opinion to Cao Zhi and Mrs. Xie. Cao Zhi thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Listen to your brother."
