In the spacious barracks, five pairs of fish oil lamps stood in pairs.

The light that should be dim is immediately a soft white light due to the addition of a white paper lampshade.

Cao Mao has never been a polite person, after entering the barracks, he took care of himself and walked around to check the inside and outside, and he also said to Cao Lin's personal guard general: "I have important things to discuss with my brother, and outsiders are not allowed to approach." ”

Chenggui went to see Cao Lin, Cao Lin bowed slightly, and when Chenggui went out, Cao Lin asked rhetorically: "What's the matter?" ”

"Ridiculous."

Cao Mao said and raised his hand to untie his helmet, the heavy iron helmet was placed on the table, the sweat towel wrapped around his head was already wet because of the hurry, he grabbed Cao Lin's black pottery teapot spout and took a sharp breath, his eyes turned left and right, and then said: "I don't know who to believe, but Brother Ji Bao is generous, and he shouldn't harm me." ”

When Cao Lin saw his appearance, he grabbed the green dates on the table and handed them over: "This is the autumn of the national crisis, you and my brothers should be in the same boat." ”

"I believe in my brother."

Cao Mao grabbed a jujube and chewed it in his mouth, and took out a brocade bag from his arms, Cao Lin saw that under his generous robe was a close-fitting chain mail, these dog days braved the sun to see him, it was necessary to be so cautious?

Cao Lin put away his contempt, cautiously caught the slightly sweaty bag, and saw Cao Mao spit out the jujube core, grabbed the jujube and leaned on the office hardwood table to eat the jujube, and turned his back to him: "There are two silk letters, I don't know who to believe." ”

"Let me take a closer look."

Cao Lin took out a silk book, a silk letter was in the handwriting of his brother Qin Lang, which was written to Sun Mi, the second son of Sun Zi, the second son of the Zhongshu Ling, instructing Sun Mi to cross the river from Qingshuikou and lead the Han army to the northeast to attack Ji County in Hanoi County, and burn a batch of grain straw that was about to be shipped in Ji County.

This is a batch of grain and straw that was shipped from Hanoi County and transported to the Xiao cavalry army, which was about half a month's consumption.

At present, the street pavilion in the south of Jixian County will go down the Qingshui River and be transported to the Chaoge of the Xiao Cavalry Army stationed in Tun.

Cao Lin was a little unconvinced, how could his brother do such a thing?

It's not that he doesn't believe that Qin Lang will betray and communicate with the Han army; Rather, they don't believe that such important physical evidence will be left.

Suspicious in his heart, Cao Lin hurriedly opened another silk book, which was a map of the Wei army's defense, drawing various triangles, circles, squares, or special markers. I don't know the upstream defense line west of Chaoge, but I can deploy the defense map east of Chaoge and centered on Liyang...... I am familiar.

In contrast to each other, the sentry posts of the Zhennan Army were also marked, and the only thing that was not marked was the elusive hundred-man team full of pets.

Seeing that he finished reading it, Cao Mao spit out another jujube core and took the initiative to speak: "Brother Ji Bao, if it's true, what should you and I do?" Brother Yuanming will never harm Brother Ji Bao, but it is difficult to say about the younger brother. ”

"The son of Zhongshu Ling conspired, and I am afraid that there are many conspirators in Yedu."

Cao Mao looked at Cao Lin in detail, saw that his expression changed repeatedly, and took the initiative to explain: "Brother is confused about the origin of this thing? Recently, it was hot and dry, I invited Sun Mi and others to play in the water, and when I saw that Sun Mi looked uneasy, I stole it. Who wants to steal this thing. ”

In a self-deprecating tone: "I've been stealing this thing for four days, and I haven't had a seizure." Sun Mi disappeared yesterday, and Yuan Ming's brother said that Sun Mi was bitten to death by a poisonous snake when he was playing in the water, and his body had been cremated and transferred to Yedu. I didn't dare to delay early this morning, so I came to look for Brother Ji Leopard. ”

Cao Mao is a person who disdains lying, even if he will be reprimanded by Emperor Wu, Cao Mao still disdains lying and perfunctory.

If you don't do your homework, you don't do your homework, and if you fight with someone, you're fighting, although it's full of evil deeds, but it's always a frank character.

may be because he looks ugly, Cao Mao calmly accepted his fate, everything he does is like this, good is good, ugly is ugly.

With such a son and younger brother, how could Cao Cao and Cao Pi like and be happy?

Cao Lin is willing to believe this answer, and is in a dilemma, does he want to expose his brother? If you want to expose it, Cao Mao just went to see Man Pet directly, what did he do when he came to find himself?

Without waiting for him to be tempted, Cao Mao said, "Brother Ji Bao, now I don't know whether Sun Mi is dead or alive. If he went to the river to search for tips, it was normal for him to be carelessly bitten to death by snakes and insects. ”

This is a very possible thing, Sun Mi lost such an important thing, and he couldn't sleep at all if he didn't find it, this is the evidence that can make the Sun family perish.

Sun Mi was in a trance under high pressure, and it was possible to be accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake.

"What's more, Brother Yuan Ming uses regular script, and there are many people who are good at calligraphy in Yedu, so it is not difficult to forge Brother Yuan Ming's handwriting."

"No, it's just a counter-calculation."

Cao Mao sighed with emotion, picked up the helmet again and put it on his head, and walked out: "My brother has just joined the Rong Brigade, and I hope to cherish it." ”

"Wait, brother, you might as well rest in my tent tonight."

Cao Lin hurriedly stopped and persuaded: "Brother Jin is suspicious, and it is inconvenient for my brother to ask, but I am fine." Tomorrow I will go to Chaoge and question my brother in person. ”

He stretched out his arms and grabbed Cao Mao's shoulders, and said in a sincere tone: "No matter what my brother's decision is, I want to keep my brother safe." ”

"So...... It's good. ”

Cao Mao smiled, his smile was pure: "When the country is in danger, the trees are falling and scattered, I just want to figure out the decision of Brother Yuanming." Even if you die, you must also die. ”

Cao Lin turned a deaf ear to this answer, pulled Cao Mao to sit down, and took a jar of pre-rain tea that he was reluctant to drink to share with Cao Mao, which was still a valuable product that Qin Lang brought back when he was in Guanzhong.

At night, in the Liyang camp, Cao Mao had some insomnia and remembered Dian Man and Liu Asheng.

As the ugliest son, there are very few people in the family who are close to him, there is a Cao Zhang among the peers, there is a Cao Rong of a similar age among the younger generations, and among the rest of the children of military officials who live in Cao Cao's house, there are also some exchanges with him with ups and downs like Dianman and Liu Asheng.

The emperor suddenly stuffed himself into the army, definitely not because he felt guilty about himself, but because he was still useful and helpful to the crown prince.

As for his friendship with Cao Ei...... One is ugly and sees the world clearly, and the other is the most beautiful and has a rough, similar view of the world.

There are some things in common in dealing with people, such as contempt, lack of respect, and refusal to face the emperor with a humble attitude.

Cao Ei paid a heavy price, as the heir of Emperor Wu almost in the next generation, Cao Ei was a little less obedient to his father, compared with some other sons, naturally caused the emperor's dissatisfaction.

This dissatisfaction was finally vented, believing that there was a problem with Zhen's way of teaching Cao Ei, and it was Zhen's problematic attitude that was transmitted to Cao Ei, which was the source of all Cao Ei's problems.

Therefore, Zhen's death led to a series of later events.

Yedu is a huge prison, which makes Cao Mao very insecure; I thought that I would have a sense of security after entering the army and gradually mastering the army.

But when he encountered Qin Lang and Sun Mi, it seemed to be even more dangerous than Ye Du, and there was hardly a safe place.

Cao Mao simply didn't want these things, and thought about when Cao Rong would succeed to the throne...... This is the key factor that can really turn over.

As for the current emperor, he would rather die than give himself the title of prince, and this feud is not so easy to unravel; Even if the prince of Jin Feng himself will not be grateful, this is what he deserves, it is the legacy of Emperor Wu, what is the matter with the current emperor?

Therefore, there is no hope and no need to give thanks, or ask for a seal or pray.

There is no shortage of the food tax rent brought by the prince, and no one will starve to death, and the Cao family will not be hungry, so there is no need to bow his head and show weakness.
