"If you are courteous to others, you will ask for something." Qingtao helped Cao Miao take off her coat. "Prince, this Han Dong can't be trusted."

Cao Miao smiled. How could he trust Han Dong, he was just using Han Dong. Since Han Dong is not dead, he goes and returns, and he doesn't mind using Han Dong again. Although this person is not a good person, he has good martial arts, and he has a school official position, is well-informed, and can help him do things that are inconvenient for him to do, or even not at all.

For example, back pots. This person was born with a good physique, and he was okay with Wang Tai's life on his back, it would be a waste not to use it.

Cao Miao walked to the bookcase and sat down, opening "Lao Tzu's Five Thousand Words". The Inner Dan Technique has been spread in Jingshi, and he will inevitably face more tests in the future, so it is still necessary to make more preparations while there is still time to do so.

Thanks to that era when Chinese studies were prosperous and even a little overflowing, he was no stranger to "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi", and even watched several different versions. Of course, the most common version is the one compiled by Wang Bi, and that version has not yet appeared, and it is a weapon that he can use.

After more than a month of hard work, he has memorized "Laozi", "Zhuangzi" is too long, and it is very different from the later versions, so he memorized most of it, and he is not proficient enough, but the basic content has been mastered. What needs to be done now is to familiarize yourself with the flow of the debate. In the 21st century, the entertainment culture is developed, and there are many debate variety shows, and he has also watched a few episodes. All he had to do was to connect those techniques with the metaphysics of the year and get ready.

Although he has no opponent, he is used to acting in one-man shows, and he once played two roles by himself, so it is not difficult to act in his head.

After a while, Ah Hu came back, leaned in front of Cao Miao, and muttered a few words. Qing Tao saw it on the side, and consciously stood farther away. She knew that Cao Miao didn't tell her something, but she didn't dare to inquire easily, lest she make a taboo.

Cao Miao was very satisfied. Able to restrain his curiosity, Qingtao deserves to be the most stable of the three people around him.

"Qingtao, you take the wooden box in the pillow."

Qing Tao answered, turned around and went into the inner room, climbed into bed, opened the pillow, and took out a wooden box from it. The wooden box is not large, it looks like it is for jewelry, but it is locked. She returned to the study with the wooden box, placed it in front of Cao Miao, and got up to retreat.

"Qingtao, you stay." Cao Miao took out a delicate and small key from his waist, opened the wooden box, and took out a jade seal from inside. "Any idea what this is?"

Qingtao shook her head.

"The school affairs jade seal, which was once used to direct all school affairs, is also known as the jade owl seal. However, this jade seal has been missing for a long time, and it has also lost its effect and has become a waste. Cao Miao tapped her fingers lightly. A month ago, this jade seal suddenly appeared next to my pillow. ”

Cao Miao told the matter of the jade seal, but the time for getting the jade seal was adjusted. It's not that he can't trust Qingtao, but there is no need to tell Qingtao everything, the less she knows, the safer.

Qingtao was a little excited, but she didn't mess up. "So, Han Dong is here for this?"

"Quite possibly." Cao Miao said: "Next, we may have to join forces with Han Dong to do some things, I am inconvenient to come forward, and some things may need you and Ah Hu to do." You have to be mentally prepared. ”

Qingtao was a little surprised. She glanced at Cao Miao, then nodded in agreement. "The servant understands."

——

unified the caliber with Ah Hu and Qingtao, and Cao Miao immediately arranged for Ah Hu to find Cao Zhi. He needed to confirm some information with Cao Zhi.

For example, Wang Chang.

Cao Zhi soon arrived. Seeing Qingtao and Ah Hu on the side, he didn't feel strange. During this time, he knew that these two had proven their abilities and loyalty, and they were Cao Miao's indispensable henchmen.

Cao Miao told Han Dong's intention again, and asked about Wang Chang's situation.

Cao Zhi said he didn't know. Although he has not been self-enclosed like Cao Miao, he is not much better. The entire Yongqiu Royal Mansion was under the strict supervision of the state guards, and the contact with the outside world was very limited. He was also not familiar with Wang Chang, so he had to ask Cao Zhi about his own talents.

In order to hide people's eyes, Cao Miao was not suitable to meet Cao Zhi, so he made an outline of the information he wanted to know, and Cao Zhi brought it to Cao Zhi.

In addition to Wang Chang, the assassin of Yanzhou, Cao Miao cares more about another person: Cao Xiu.

If his memory is good, and history has not changed much because of his arrival, then Cao Xiu's life has entered the countdown. Soon after Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, Cao Xiu was ambushed by Lu Xun because he fell for Sun Quan's plan, lost his generals, and died of anger. The practice of the Cao Wei clan commanding the army was broken, and it became a helpless choice for a different surname to control the military power.

This may be Cao Zhi's chance.

Although Cao Miao doesn't know much about real politics, he has acted in many costume dramas and historical dramas after all, and knows the importance of military power. As long as you have the power of the army, it is possible to control your own destiny. At this point, he can't do it, neither can Cao Zhi, only Cao Zhi can.

Don't think that you can lead the army into battle after reading a few military books. Zhao Kuo was defeated, was it because he didn't read enough military books?

Cao Zhi quickly gave a reply, which was detailed and even exceeded Cao Miao's expectations.

Wang Chang is a native of Jinyang, Taiyuan. His father, Wang Ze, is a good man, and the official is the Taishou of the county. Wang Ji's father, Wang Rou, is Wang Ze's third brother. Wang Chang and Wang Ji are brothers who are very close in blood. Wang Chang became famous as a young man, entered the office in Jian'an, and was a close minister of Emperor Wen when he was in the East Palace. After Emperor Wen ascended the throne, Wang Chang's official fortune was prosperous, and he moved to Yanzhou for a few years.

Wang Chang's predecessor was Wang Xuan. Wang Wei is a native of Qi County, Taiyuan, a few years older than Wang Chang, Wang Chang takes Wang Wei as his brother, Wang Chang joins the office, and gets Wang Wei's support, and takes over the history of Yanzhou Assassin is also related to Wang Wei's recommendation.

Wang Wei is currently the Qingzhou Assassin History, and like Xu Xuan, the commander of the Sili School, Wang Chang, and Jia Kui, the Yuzhou Assassin Shi, they are all close ministers of Emperor Wen.

In addition, Cao Xiu, the great Sima Xiu, who led the history of Yangzhou and supervised the military of Zhuzhou during the false festival, was also a confidant of Emperor Wen.

Cao Zhi did not have a high opinion of Cao Xiu. He said that although Cao Xiu was praised by Emperor Wu as a thousand-mile horse and fought bravely, he was competitive, self-serving, and had some celebrity habits, so he was not as stable as Cao Zhen.

Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen are of the same age, have similar abilities, and have similar experiences. The two accompanied the expedition together, and later became both tiger and leopard riders, one commanding the tiger rider and the other commanding the leopard rider. In the twenty-third year of Jian'an, the two followed Cao Hong to attack Ma Chao and Zhang Fei in Wudu, Cao Zhen contributed a little more, and he was the leader of the army first, and Cao Xiu was one step slower. Later, Xiahou Yuan was killed in battle, Cao Zhenjie supervised the Yongliang military and became a general, Cao Xiu has since fallen into a knot, and has always wanted to prove himself.

In the case that Cao Zhen commanded the troops to repel Zhuge Liang's offense, Cao Xiu may take the initiative to attack, in order to compete with Cao Zhen. However, the terrain in the Jianghuai area is special, and Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen have failed to perform several expeditions to the east.

After reading Cao Zhi's detailed and almost verbose reply, Cao Miao secretly smiled bitterly. It's really character that determines fate, and Cao Xiu's death is not an accident. But Cao Zhi still thought about things simply, how could Cao Xiu be so simple as working in vain, he would die.

Of course, he has read countless scripts and is well versed in the subtlety of the lines, and he understands Cao Zhi's implication: Cao Xiu, Wang Chang, Jia Kui and others are all henchmen of the first emperor Cao Pi, don't mess around.
