When Sun Luban received the news of Zhou Yi's capture, he was eating breakfast, and he had a mouthful of meat porridge in his mouth, and he didn't swallow it for a long time.

Zhou Yi was captured by Cao Susheng and cut off an arm?

Looking at the broken arm in front of him, Sun Luban felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

Zhou Yi can't attack the cottage, she can understand it. was broken into the big tent of the Chinese army by Cao Su and taken prisoner, this is a bit exaggerated, right?

After listening to the whole story, Sun Luban savored it carefully and believed it a little.

Cao Su's timing was extremely good, and his advantages were brought into full play, and it was normal for Zhou Yi to have no time to react. The only thing that makes people wonder is how Cao Su quietly infiltrated Zhou Yi's Chinese army tent, and pretended to be a member of the shift change, and walked smoothly in front of Zhou Yi.

But if there is a slight difference, the result may be different.

Cao Miao is right, Cao Su's strength is not bad, and he is not below him at all.

Sun Luban thought about it and sent someone to invite Lu Hong.

Seeing a bloody arm, Lu Hong was startled, and his face turned white. When she heard the whole story, her mind was blank.

Zhou Yi is known for his meticulousness and ingenuity, how could such a low-level mistake occur and Cao Su broke into the big tent of the Chinese army and captured him alive?

Could it be that his prestige is really due to the mutual praise of the Jiangdong family, and under the fame, it is actually difficult to deserve?

Compared with these doubts, the biggest problem is how to solve the dilemma at hand. Zhou Yi's life and death are uncertain - most likely not dead - what should I do next? Will it continue to attack, or will it negotiate?

If you continue to attack, you will face the safety problem of Zhou Doi. Even if Zhou Yi was willing to die, they couldn't watch Zhou Yi die.

Lu Hong hesitated for a long time, and suddenly thought of a question, and sighed in his heart.

"Princess, this won't be ...... Cao Jun's plan, right? ”

Sun Luban smiled bitterly. She also felt that there was a possibility, and she felt a little uncomfortable. If this is the case, then Cao Miao has been lying to her from beginning to end, treating her as a chess piece, not as sincere and thinking about her as she thought.

It's just these words, she didn't want to say them to Lu Hong.

The two discussed it, but they didn't come up with any good way, so they could only send someone to invite Cao Miao.

After Cao Miao listened, she was very calm and couldn't see any waves. Sun Luban saw it in his eyes, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Did you already know this was going to happen?"

Cao Miao was stunned for a moment, stared at Sun Luban for a long time, and suddenly laughed. "You're not wrong when you say that. I did think about this possibility, but I didn't expect Cao Su to really do it. It seems that he has improved a lot, and he is even smarter than I thought. ”

He paused, and then said, "The princess is also smarter than I thought, and she actually knows to doubt me." ”

Sun Luban was embarrassed. "I ......"

Cao Miao waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with you doing this. People are separated from their bellies, who can guarantee that there is no selfishness at all? It's just that I really can't design it. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and even if I can guess the approximate situation, I can't guess the details, and I can't be foolproof. ”

Sun Luban and Lu Hong looked at each other and felt justified, but they couldn't help but be embarrassed.

"That should be Cao Su's own decision." Sun Luban himself gave an explanation, which can be regarded as an apology to Cao Miao.

"Not necessarily, there may be Xiahou Hui's suggestion in this."

"Xiahou Hui? Is she smart? ”

"Smart or not, when you have a chance to meet her, you can see for yourself." Cao Miao smiled, didn't talk deeply, and withdrew after burying a hook. "Princess, what do you decide, do you want to fight, or do you want to talk?"

"What about your opinion?"

Cao Miao thought for a moment. "Out of Zhou Yi's matter, I really don't dare to say it casually. In this way, you try to get in touch with Cao Su, see his conditions, and then ask Madame and King Wu, whether to fight or talk, it is up to them to decide. ”

Sun Luban regretted it. Cao Miao said that she didn't mind, but she still had a pimple in her heart, and she didn't want to cause trouble anymore, so she took the initiative to avoid suspicion.

She really wanted to explain to Cao Miao and ask Cao Miao to help her come up with ideas, but she couldn't open her mouth.

In desperation, she had no choice but to send Lu Hong up the mountain to contact Cao Su and explore Cao Su's tone.

——

Seeing that the messenger sent by Sun Luban was a woman, Cao Su did not see it, and asked Xiahou Hui to come forward to receive him.

This was originally what they had negotiated. Sun Luban does not have many trustworthy people around him, and there are only a few people who can take on the task of negotiation, among which Lu Hong is the most suitable.

At this time, the time for Xiahou Hui to officially appear has come.

Lu Hong was born in Jiangdong, his family has small assets, and his career is smooth, but he is not a big family. She herself is literate and hyphenated, has read some books, is also smart, and is considered a leader among her peers, and it is normal for her to be a little conceited and follow Mrs. Sun to do things.

But in front of Xiahou Hui, she was crushed in all aspects.

Whether it is personal temperament, ability, family background, or education, or the world she has seen, Xiahou Hui is far better than her. There is no need to deliberately express it, as soon as he said a few words, Lu Hong knew that the two sides were not at the same level at all.

It was also at this time that she realized that Cao Miao's words were not modest, and Xiahou Hui's intelligence was no less than Cao Miao's.

This is the best of women. If Sun Luban needs a Zhang Liang, Xiahou Hui is the most suitable candidate.

With such a thought, Lu Hong took the initiative to lead the topic to cooperation.

Xiahou Hui did not shirk either, and said to Lu Hong frankly: "You believe that the surname of the Great Wei Tianzi is Yuan, and you want to use this to blackmail him and control him in the palm of your hand, which is very good, but it is not easy to achieve." Gongsun Yuan is cunning, his father and son and brother have been running Liaodong for 40 years, the foundation is very thick, and there are tens of thousands of elite horsemen under his command, how can it be so easy to rob people from him? You can't do it, we can't do it, only if we join forces, maybe there's a possibility. ”

"What happens when I succeed?" Lu Hong asked.

Xiahou Hui smiled silently. "If we can really succeed and prove that the surname of the Great Wei Tianzi is Yuan and not Cao, it is natural to set up another Cao family as the king. Dare to ask Lu Duwei, in your opinion, who is the most suitable to succeed to the throne and become emperor? Who is qualified to succeed to the throne? Me, or General Cao? ”

Lu Hong's eyes flashed slightly. "Cao Jun?"

Xiahou Hui nodded. "In terms of qualifications, he is certainly the most qualified. King Junyi was the prince favored by Emperor Wu back then, but the family strongly opposed it, and today the son is deeply loved by Emperor Wu, and the father is more important than the son, which gave Emperor Wen the upper hand. If the surname of the Son of Heaven is Yuan, Emperor Wen is not right, and his lineage is naturally not suitable for ascending the throne, and the throne should be in the line of King Junyi. Cao Jun is the eldest son of King Junyi, who else is more suitable besides him? ”

Xiahou Hui sighed. "What I'm worried about is that he has a long relationship with his children, is nostalgic for Jiangdong, and refuses to return to Luoyang to be the emperor."
