Cao Miao was not in a hurry, her right hand met her, and the waist card in her hand slammed on the woman's instep.

"Ugh!" The woman screamed, unsteady on her feet, sat on the ground, shrunk her legs, and burst into tears.

"Good quality." Cao Miao grinned, shook her waist card in front of the woman, and said, "The legs are also good, very straight." It's just a pity that this foot will break. If it is broken, let alone riding a horse in the future, it will be troublesome to walk. As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the woman's hand, his fingers brushing the wound, and looked at the woman with a smile.

"Cao Miao, Gongcao of Gaoyang Township, Lower Wei, dare to ask Fang's name?"

The woman's eyes flashed, and she stared at Cao Miao again and again, with a look of fear in her eyes and a trembling voice. "You...... You're that madman? ”

"Exactly." Cao Miao smiled even brighter. "I caught the sheep. Dare to ask Fang's name? ”

"Times...... Shinuo. ”

Cao Miao picked up the waist card. "At this time?" After getting Shi Nuo's approval, he asked again: "Which promise?" ”

"A promise of a thousand gold."

"Oh, what about your promise...... Is it worth the money? ”

Shi Nuo glared at Cao Miao fiercely, snorted, and turned his head. She wanted to withdraw the foot that was held by Cao Miao, but she didn't dare to act rashly. Cao Miao's blow just now was ruthless and accurate, and he didn't have the slightest intention of sparing. She was very worried that she had angered Cao Miao, and Cao Miao really hung her outside and lured Wu Guo's spies to save her. As Cao Miao said, her unexpected capture was a major mistake by the Relief Camp. If there is a chance to save it, the relief camp will do whatever it takes.

She is not afraid of normal people, but she is afraid of crazy people.

Cao Miao let go of Shi Nuo's feet and sat down cross-legged. "I want to cross the river for refuge and want to find a powerful person to protect me, and Mrs. Sun is a very ideal object. If you can help me bring the words, I'll find a way to let you go. ”

Shi Nuo was slightly stunned, and then turned his head to look at Cao Miao, his eyes puzzled.

"Do you know Zhong Xuan?"

Shi Nuo nodded repeatedly. Who doesn't know Zhong Xuan? Two ministers of the Han and Wei dynasties, assisted the Han Emperor, Cao Cao, Cao Pi, Cao Rong four generations, and the representative of the Ruying family. Not only in Wei, but also in Jiangdong, which is also famous.

"I was quick to say that his youngest son Zhong Hui was not born to him, but his eldest son Zhong Yu was born by his concubine."

"Poof!" Shi Nuo couldn't hold back for a while, laughed out loud, and then felt that something was wrong, and forced him to cough twice.

Cao Miao looked helpless.

"How can I trust you?" Shi Nuo forced his composure and said seriously.

"You can go and ask. Although Yang Wei has been arrested, I believe that you are still eyeliner in Luoyang. ”

Shi Nuo thought for a while and gritted his teeth. "Okay, I'll help you talk."

"Thank you. However, before I let you go, I want to make sure that you really make a promise. ”

Shi Nuo was wary and hesitated. "Do you want to ...... How to try? ”

"You tell me about the twelve people before you." Cao Miao lifted the silver medal. "If my guess is correct, they are all people around Mrs. Sun just like you, and they don't have many opportunities to show up. Even if you tell me, it's not dangerous. I want their names. ”

Shi Nuo felt that Cao Miao was reasonable. They are all people around Mrs. Sun, and they generally don't have contact with outsiders, so there's nothing wrong with telling Cao Miao. "How do you know I'm not going to lie to you?"

"Whether you lie to me or not, I have my own way of judging. If you don't believe me, you can try. Cao Miao smiled, but her eyes were a little cold. If you lie to me, I'll cut off your feet, strip naked, and hang outside waiting for someone to come to your rescue. He held up his belt. Of course, you're not naked, and this belt tag will hang around your neck. ”

Shi Nuo was stunned, and his face turned pale.

——

Cao Miao got twelve names.

He untied Shi Nuo, let her bathe and change clothes, wash off the dirt on her body, treat the wounds, change into new clothes, and sleep well.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up Shi Nuo and asked for the names of the twelve people again. Shi Nuo slept in a daze, and he didn't have time to react, so he had to say the names of the twelve people again.

Cao Miao compared, exactly the same as what was written before, and smiled at the corner of her mouth. "Excuse me, you go back to sleep."

Shi Nuo broke out in a cold sweat and sat on the bed for a long time without daring to move. It's a shame that she didn't play tricks, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. This Cao Miao is really insidious, and she asked her to get up in the middle of the night to confront her. If she was deliberately deceiving, how could she make up twelve names for a while, and keep in mind that she had to be exposed.

At any time, Cao Miao asked Shi Nuo to write a letter, saying that there was a Wei State that had surrendered to righteousness and had a noble status, and wanted to seek protection from Mrs. Sun, and asked Mrs. Sun to arrange to receive Yunyun. Then attached Shi Nuo's waist card, and according to the method provided by Shi Nuo, the news was spread.

——

After staying in Ancheng for a few days, and near Chinese New Year's Eve, Cao Shu returned from Shouchun and brought back 400 million yuan in supplies.

Man Zhong has already received the edict, squeezed out 400 million money from the very tight supplies, handed it to Cao Su to bring back, and filled a big ship. Among them, there are 100 million in cash, silk, cloth and other materials, as well as some special products, which are worth a total of 300 million yuan.

Cao Su said that in order to raise the 400 million money, Manzhong put a lot of effort into it and withstood a lot of pressure. He had something to bring to Cao Miao, the situation in Yangzhou was very serious, Wu had been increasing troops, and the battle in the short term was very unfavorable to Great Wei. I hope that Cao Miao will bother to buy time for them and stabilize the situation.

Man Pet didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was very clear, the first target of prevention was Lu Xun. In any case, Lu Xun cannot be allowed to appear on the battlefield in Yangzhou again. As long as Lu Xun does not come, even if Sun Quan personally leads an army of 100,000, they are sure to hold Hefei. If Lu Xun comes, Yangzhou will inevitably collapse.

The remnants of the defeated army in the Yangzhou Metropolitan District have been broken by Lu Xun, and they tremble when they hear Lu Xun's name.

Then, Tian Fu sent a message. After a few days of investigation, they found some clues, one after another several groups of rangers passed through Runan, from different routes rushed to Yi *** The number of people is not clear, in short, there are a lot, and it is roughly estimated that there will be more than 100 people.

Tian Fu reminded Cao Miao. Yiyang is a mountainous area, and there are some bandits and rogues in it, whose origins are complicated, and the relationship with the family is unclear and unclear. These people did not dare to attack the county seat, but it was easy to deal with passers-by, and they had deals with scouts on both sides, and they could not distinguish friend from foe.

This was confirmed by Cao Miao from Shi Nuo.

After repeated discussions, Cao Miao asked Tian Fu to leave first with the supplies. He deliberately stopped for two days, and then he was escorted by Cao Su to set off and go to Yiyang by land. He is a fugitive, so naturally he can't enter the county seat openly, so he can only go to a deserted place where the official army has lax precautions.

On the way, he received a reply from Mrs. Sun, who was willing to provide shelter for Cao Miao and sent someone to answer him.

After everything was arranged, Cao Miao set off with Shi Nuo and prepared to cross the border between the two countries.
