Cao Miao rubbed her nose while looking at the furnishings in Mrs. Sun's house. The furnishings are simple, except for the bed, which takes up half of the space, the bookshelves lined with official documents along the walls and the large case in the middle of the room, but the most striking thing is the huge map that almost has one wall.

Judging from the outline, this is the whole map of Wuchang City, with many landmarks marked with different colors, and the most prominent center is Wuchang Palace. In addition, there is a prominent sign at Fanshan, and there is a curve that extends from the lake in the north of Fanshan to the middle of the Yangtze River.

This should be the route of Sun Quan's boat to inspect the sailors.

Although Cao Miao wanted to stare at it and keep all the details in his mind, he was still very restrained, and after a slight glance, he turned his gaze away and said in a slightly ridiculous tone: "No wonder Madam is suspicious, the entire Wuchang City is on her shoulders, and it is indeed not easy to get up." ”

There was silence in the tent, only the curtain shook slightly.

The voice of the female guard came from outside, and the picture sent Cao Miao's clothes. Cao Miao bowed to Mrs. Sun in the tent. "Please forgive me, Madame, and let me change my clothes. If Mrs. has any inquiries, Miao is ready to wait. ”

"Cao Jun, please." Mrs. Sun said lightly, her voice calm.

Cao Miao retreated and took the door with him. The female guard took Cao Miao down the hall, came to the front hall, found a room, and waited for Cao Miao to put on clothes. After a while, the woman came to give the order again, and Mrs. Sun was invited.

Cao Miao was dressed neatly, and then entered the back hall. The female guards who saw along the way looked at him unconsciously, their eyes full of curiosity. Mrs. Sun rarely entertains guests in the back hall, and there are few men. In their memories, Cao Miao is likely to be the first.

Cao Miao came to the back hall again, Mrs. Sun had already dressed and sat in the hall, with a map and three cups of hot tea on the desk in front of her.

"Cao Jun, please be seated." Mrs. Sun lowered her eyes and stretched out her hand to invite, her big sleeves fluttering, revealing only a fingertip. Wearing an official uniform, she is graceful and magnificent, which is not the same as when she is wearing armor. It's just that she didn't tie her hair, she pulled it up with a ribbon at will and draped it on her body, which was a little more casual.

"Mrs. Xie." Cao Miao saluted and sat down on the seat to the right of Mrs. Sun. Sun Luban sat on the other side, his eyes were still red, but there was a smile on his face. Seeing Cao Miao looking over, she lowered her head embarrassedly and twisted her belt.

"This map is the same as the one in the house, just smaller." Madame Sun pushed the map in front of Cao Miao. "Regarding the safety of King Wu when he ascended the throne, I would like to hear Cao Jun's high opinion."

"Madame's praise is false, I don't dare to be." Cao Miao said modestly, spread out the map, and looked at it carefully. He looked very seriously, and after watching two cups of tea, he raised his head and exhaled. "Madame has a heavy responsibility on her shoulders."

Mrs. Sun nodded lightly. "Admittedly."

"But Madame's greatest pressure is not from responsibility, but from fear."

Mrs. Sun was stunned for a moment, and her eyebrows shrugged slightly. "Can Cao Jun elaborate?"

"Madame is in the game, she can't understand herself, she needs to jump out of the game to get a glimpse of what is going on." Cao Miao said unhurriedly: "Madame seems to have forgotten one thing: this is Wuchang, not Luoyang, nor Chengdu. Here, the only people who can compete with Mrs. Wu are from Wu State, not anyone from Wei State or Xishu. Even if he is not a genius, it is impossible to control this kind of affairs remotely from thousands of miles away. ”

Mrs. Sun blinked, thought for a moment, and gradually showed a light smile on her face. Cao Jun is really smart, and in his words, there is only a vague intention to provoke. So, Cao Jun is not a spy, he is a strategist, he can't conspire, he conspires? ”

"Madame said that, it is not impossible." Cao Miao's face did not change, and he smiled faintly: "The general trend of the world, but anyone with a little insight can see it, and Madame must be no exception, so why do I need to provoke?" ”

Mrs. Sun smiled silently, ordered someone to add tea, and raised her glass to Cao Miao. "The concubine is stupid, I would like to hear Cao Jun's high opinion."

Cao Miao raised his glass and returned the salute. "It's not too early, let's talk about these big things slowly when we have time in the future. Today I will talk about some things that are close at hand, and maybe I can let my wife sleep peacefully. ”

"Oh?" The corners of Mrs. Sun's mouth twitched, as if she was smiling.

"Madame shouldn't have caught Elfang yet, right?"

"The evidence is insufficient, and we can't act rashly."

"Did the lady send someone to remind Elfang?" Without waiting for Mrs. Sun to speak, Cao Miao said again: "With Meng Da's Yin Jian in front, no matter how stupid Elfang is, he should know that Zhuge Liang is not trustworthy, and all of this may be using him." ”

"If Elfang is a suspicious soldier, then what may be Xishu's real means?"

"It doesn't matter what it is."

Mrs. Sun was surprised, and her body subconsciously leaned forward.

Cao Miao took a sip of tea. "Madam thinks that Zhuge Liang dares to tear his face with Wu Guo?"

Mrs. Sun bowed slightly, and her eyes gradually brightened. Sun Luban listened in a daze, looked at Mrs. Sun for a while, looked at Cao Miao for a while, and scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry. When Mrs. Sun saw it, she glared at Sun Luban, and then looked at Cao Miao, with a little more relief in her eyes.

"So, Cao Jun's suggestion is ......"

"It's not enough to knock Elfang, what really needs to be beaten is the Xishu envoys, let them tell Zhuge Liang that if there is any problem with the enthronement ceremony, it will affect the alliance. I think Zhuge Liang should not be like Liu Bei, leaving Hanzhong alone, waving his troops eastward to compete with Wu State. ”

Sun Luban frowned. "Isn't this too rude, Xishu people...... Would you agree? ”

Cao Miao looked at Sun Luban with a smile. "Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition has suffered successive setbacks, and he urgently needs a victory to prove his authority, and he will not make enemies with Wu at this time. Moreover, he has already admitted the reality that King Wu is the emperor, and the disturbance is just a routine, with the mouth of the Xishu civil and military. Which is big and which is smaller, which is more important and which is lighter, he should be very light. ”

Cao Miao turned her head to look at Mrs. Sun. "With Madame's understanding of Zhuge Liang, what will he do?"

Mrs. Sun nodded. "You're right, Zhuge Liang won't take this risk, he will definitely stop." She then looked at Cao Miao again. "What about the Wei spies?"

"Madame mean the bandits?"

"Yes."

"Can you determine how many people there are?"

"At least a hundred, probably more than two hundred."

"All foot soldiers?"

"All I see now are pawns."

"That's not a concern, it's just external harassment, and it doesn't make much noise. If there are cavalry, or if there are ships, then be vigilant. Cao Miao stretched out her hand and nodded at Fan Mountain. Wherever the king of Wu goes, there will be heavy guards, and the vigilance should be more than ten miles. Unless there were cavalry, or warships, mixed in the ranks of attendants, they could get close to King Wu, and it was possible to cause a meaningful riot. ”

"Can you catch them?" Mrs. Sun said: "Even if it's just a fly, buzzing in your ears every day is annoying. ”

Cao Miao smacked her lips and groaned for a long time. "Perhaps, that's the real danger." He looked at Mrs. Sun. "Some people want to make Madame unbearable, make mistakes in her busyness, and even ...... Overworked, exhausted. ”
