Chapter 317: Unequal Treaties

Mrs. Sun glanced at Cao Miao, waved her hand with a faint expression, and motioned for them to take a seat.

Sun Luban wanted to sit at the same table with Cao Miao, but looking at Mrs. Sun's face, she still sat obediently at the head and faced Cao Miao.

It was said to be a celebration banquet, but in fact, there were no people. In addition to Cao Miao, Sun Luban, Lu Hong, and Sun Qing, they were the two captains who participated in the war this time. These two captains are also Mrs. Sun's maidservants, and they were military marquis not long ago, and they have just been promoted to lieutenants. In addition to strengthening the momentum and pressing the battle for Sun Luban, this time he participated in the battle, but he had a close understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the new tactics, and did not really do it.

Seeing Sun Xiu and the others' new tactics, they were quite shocked, and their attitude towards Cao Miao also changed. They knew that if they still wanted to stay in the Relief Camp, it was imperative to learn new tactics, so they had to ask Cao Miao for advice. If Cao Miao marries Sun Luban, it will be an existence that they can't afford to provoke.

Seeing the heartfelt awe of her subordinates for Cao Miao, Mrs. Sun felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. In the past few days, she has already felt subtle changes in the mood of her subordinates, and the culprit is Cao Miao. Today, she deliberately asked the female guard to bring her big bow, but Cao Miao didn't seem to react.

However, Madame Sun soon realized that Cao Miao was forcibly calming, and his gaze had been evading.

Shaft, it turns out that you also know to be afraid? A glimmer of happiness passed through Mrs. Sun's heart.

After a few words, Mrs. Sun raised her glass and gave a speech, thanking Cao Miao for the new tactics he taught, and then asked Cao Miao for advice, who do you think these bandits are?

Cao Miao shook his head and said perfunctorily: "Military affairs, don't dare to guess, so as not to interfere with Madame's judgment." ”

"It doesn't matter, the stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade. Maybe you can have some reference. ”

Cao Miao smacked his lips and looked at him left and right. Mrs. Sun did not give up, staring at Cao Miao. Although Sun Luban was mentally prepared, he was still uneasy about Mrs. Sun's aggressiveness, for fear that Cao Miao would turn his face like last time and break up unhappily.

Cao Miao was forced to be helpless, and smiled bitterly. "Since Madame values it so much, then I will reluctantly give it a try. Please Madame provide some details. ”

Mrs. Sun had already prepared, and with a wave of her hand, Lu Hong stepped forward and handed over a document.

Cao Miao took it, spread the paperwork on the case, and quickly browsed it. The documents were sorted out and arranged in chronological order, from the discovery of an unknown number of bandits near Fanshan five days ago, to the left and right battalions to take turns to relieve trouble, but because of the ineffective mountain warfare, they failed repeatedly, and finally had to be mobilized by Madame Sun to reinforce the Chinese soldiers and horses.

Then, Lu Hong verbally explained the latest situation, Sun Luban led a new practice to repel the bandits head-on, and picked up the tiger step waist card at the scene, as well as the details of the equipment, training and tactics of these bandits.

After Cao Miao listened, he pondered for a moment. "Can you determine the authenticity of the Tiger Step Waist Card?"

"It's true." Mrs. Sun said.

"If the waist card is true and the tactics are similar, then it can't be the Tiger Battalion."

"Why?"

"Although the princess's recent training has been effective, it is not enough to repel the Hubu battalion with the same strength and similar tactics." Cao Miao's voice was not loud, but she was very confident, and she did not drag the mud and water at all. "It's a trick."

Mrs. Sun smiled slightly. "If it's not the Tiger Battalion, who could it be?"

"Do you know the approximate number of people?"

"I don't know, it could be dozens, it could be hundreds."

"Dozens, or hundreds?"

"Is there a difference?"

"There is a difference." Cao Miao accentuated her tone. "If there are only a few dozen people, it can be both foreign and local. If there are a few hundred people, the probability of being local is much greater. The reason is very simple, Wuchang is the capital of Wu State, heavily guarded, it is understandable that dozens of people have mixed in, and hundreds of people have mixed in, unless there is internal and external collusion, it is difficult to do it. ”

Mrs. Sun's eyes flashed slightly, she pondered for a moment, and then said: "I heard the soldiers who took the battle say that the other general's general is a young man who is born with divine power. In addition to his great strength, this person is also good at punches and feet, much like Cao Su who once escorted Cao Jun all the way south. ”

Cao Miao's face was calm and unmoved. "Is there any other evidence?"

"Not yet."

Cao Miao slowly closed the paperwork. "As far as the evidence is concerned, it is possible that I am a Great Wei warrior, but it is not very likely. The person Mrs. said is indeed very similar to Cao Su, but just like the tiger step waist card, there is a high probability that it is confusing the public, just to mislead Madame's judgment. ”

"I have a way, maybe I can judge the authenticity." Mrs. Sun said lightly: "I just need Cao Jun's cooperation." ”

"Use me as bait to lure him to appear?"

"Is Cao Jun willing to help?"

Cao Miao smiled. "Madame has a life, how dare I disobey? But has Mrs. ever thought about why the other party is pretending to be Cao Su? ”

"Why?"

"Maybe it's because I hope that Madame will use me as bait so that she can swallow the bait and grab the hook, and even drag the fisherman into the water?"

Mrs. Sun's eyes flashed slightly, and then she said, "Then I can't ask for it." He took my hook, and I changed my net and caught it all. ”

Cao Miao arched his hand. "I wish Mrs. a successful start."

"You promised?"

"If I don't say yes, can I not go?" Cao Miao asked rhetorically. "If I can, then I refuse."

Mrs. Sun chuckled twice. "Then thank you Cao Jun for helping. When it is done, there will be great thanks. She raised her glass. After comprehending Cao Jun's fists and feet, and just learning Cao Jun's five soldiers' attainments, he must be able to open his eyes. ”

Cao Miao smiled and raised her glass to return the salute, but she smiled very reluctantly, full of helplessness under the fence.

Sun Luban was dumbfounded. She always thought that Mrs. Sun would change Cao Miao's residence, but she never thought that Mrs. Sun suddenly changed her mind and asked Cao Miao to participate in the hunt for the bandits. She desperately glanced at Mrs. Sun, but Mrs. Sun ignored her and raised her glass frequently.

Sun Luban's heart was full of shame, and he no longer dared to look at Cao Miao's eyes.

Mrs. Sun drank a few glasses, got up and left the table, and asked Sun Luban to treat Cao Miao well. As soon as she left, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and the two lieutenants stepped forward to salute, first toasted Sun Luban, set a close, and then asked Sun Luban to introduce Cao Miao. They reported their homes, one was called Lu Qing, the other was called Yu Ji, one was from Wu County, and the other was a Huiji.

Cao Miao was not interested, and reluctantly responded a few words, then got up to say goodbye.

Sun Luban was anxious and ordered Sun Xiu to send Cao Miao back and rush to the inner room by himself. Mrs. Sun was sitting in the hall drinking tea, and when she saw Sun Luban, she was not surprised at all, but a little disappointed. The distraught Sun Luban didn't pay attention, and asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Auntie, what the hell is going on?"

Mrs. Sun put down the teacup in her hand and exhaled softly. "Your father's ascension to the throne is imminent, the undercurrent of Wuchang is surging, the time is pressing, and the troops are insufficient, so I have to take a risk. Big Tiger, I hope this Cao Miao is available. In this way, you have a good couple, and I can do my best. ”
