Chapter 146: Crusade

The next day, the news of Liu Bei's injury soon spread, causing a huge sensation in the imperial court.

On the Xuanshu Palace, Liu Xie was draped in a blanket, and his voice trembled: "Liu Bei's assassination in Cao's mansion, please also ask General Cao to explain." ”

"The minister has nothing to say." Cao Cao's face changed slightly, he didn't want to explain this matter at all, but Liu Xie had to force it.

Cao Ming opened his mouth and said: "Recently, there has been an increase in assassinations, and I suspect that some people have formed a private party to disadvantage His Majesty. ”

Cao Ming couldn't confirm that Liu Bei was dead, but it was certain that he was seriously injured, after all, the lethality of poisoned arrows was great.

"So what should I do?" When Liu Xie said this, he became scared in his heart, and even wanted to leave Xu Du.

Cao Ming continued: "Your Majesty don't be afraid, you just need to send a shrewd and capable person to the people to find out the truth for you." ”

"Who is shrewd and capable?" Liu Xie thought that this suggestion was good, and he could send a shrewd person to investigate the assassins.

"Of course it's me." Cao Ming actually wanted to take the opportunity to leave the palace, but she didn't want to say it clearly, so she had to find a reason to be a shield.

"Can you do it?" Liu Xie looked at Cao Ming with distrust, no matter how the other party looked at it, he didn't look like a shrewd person.

"What, look down on me?" Cao Ming was very dissatisfied with Liu Xie's reaction, obviously looking down on others' performance.

Liu Xie felt the aura of danger, so he had to change his words: "No, no, then there will be Queen Lao." ”

Liu Xie's attitude towards Cao Ming now has taken a 360-degree turn, after all, she has just been taught a lesson. The shadow in my heart still exists.

After the next dynasty. Cao Ming approached Cao Cao to discuss sending troops. Now that the reason for leaving the palace is in place, the next thing is to see if Cao Cao is willing to help.

"Liu Bei's matter, you didn't get involved?" Cao Cao did not directly agree to Cao Ming's request, but questioned the other party in turn.

Cao Ming changed the topic and said: "Father just wants to hold Liu Bei in his hands, but he is not a character like Liu Xie, you should know this very well." ”

Cao Cao admitted: "That's right, I wanted to trap him in Xudu, but I didn't want to kill him. ”

Cao Cao didn't want to make the people who defected to him scared. That's why he chose not to kill Liu Bei, but the assassination happened suddenly, and he would definitely fall into public opinion.

Cao Ming thinks that he should look far: "He will definitely oppose you in the future, and you will definitely do it when the time comes, so it is better to get rid of him as soon as possible." ”

"I don't have to worry about my affairs." Cao Cao's self-confidence swelled at this time, and he would definitely not follow Cao Ming's advice.

Cao Ming returned to the original point and said: "I can ignore this matter, but you have to promise me about sending troops." ”

Cao Cao agreed: "I can only produce 10,000 armor soldiers, you must know that life is not child's play." Hope you live to bring them back. ”

"10,000 armor soldiers are enough." Cao Ming thought that Cao Cao would only give 1,000 people, and 10,000 was far more than she expected.

"Generals this piece. How are you going to choose? "It's not that Cao Cao doesn't worry about Cao Ming's fight, but the other party doesn't have much actual combat experience, and it is easy to be broken by the enemy in one fell swoop.

"I know in my heart, as long as Shangguan Qing is enough." Cao Ming didn't plan to bring a strong general, it was enough to have a good strategist.

Cao Cao thought for a while and said: "The Huns are not easy to deal with, if you are unfortunately surrounded by the enemy, you will kill them alone, and leave the others alone." ”

Cao Cao's words sounded very selfish, but in fact, they told Cao Ming the truth of survival, and learn to give up when it is critical.

"But" Although Cao Ming is not dead-eyed, the thought of escaping alone still makes her heart feel a little uncomfortable.

Cao Cao interrupted Cao Ming's words: "No, you must always remember that once a woman becomes a captive, the end will be much worse than that of a man." ”

"I know, isn't it just that I was taken captive to be my daughter-in-law." Cao Ming remembered Cao Cao's concubines, many of whom were war widows.

Cao Cao nodded: "It's good to be clear, remember to listen to Shangguan Qing's words, he knows a lot of the art of war, and he is a talent." ”

Cao Cao was very reluctant to let Cao Ming go to crusade against the Xiongnu, which was an insult to the country, and the Huns would think that the Han had no man.

This expedition was carried out in secret, and only a few people knew about it, and even Liu Xie was kept in the dark.

Three days later, in the courtyard outside the Jiaofang Palace, Lu Ling was practicing marksmanship, originally Cao Ming wanted her to inherit Lu Bu's halberd, but the other party's strength was difficult to reach.

"I'll poke!" Lu Ling took advantage of Cao Ming's lack of attention, deliberately stabbed the opponent's Ou Pai with a wooden spear, and stirred it up twice.

"Look for death!" Cao Ming's face turned red, the other party was simply provocative, and he couldn't bear it at all.

"Stop! I didn't mean to. Lu Ling knew that he was not an opponent, so he had to give in to Cao Ming.

Cao Ming originally wanted to use his own way to give back to him, but when he saw that the other party was in the budding European faction, he was not interested in it.

"You're angry?" Lu Ling saw that Cao Ming didn't speak for a long time, thinking that the other party was angry.

Cao Ming pouted and said: "Of course I will be angry, jokes must be measured, and they can't be poked casually." ”

Lu Ling covered his mouth and smiled: "It's my sister who said that she wants to attack the enemy's chest, and the meat you have there is so thick, it is estimated that the spear head will not be able to poke in." ”

Cao Ming had a drop of cold sweat on her head, it turned out that girls were bears, and they were even more terrible than boys.

"I mean when I was against the enemy, not me now." Cao Ming is really unreasonable in the face of female hooligans.

"I'm tired!" Lu Ling wanted to avoid practice and deliberately pretended to be tired, hoping to arouse Cao Ming's sympathy.

Cao Ming saw that Lu Ling wanted to be lazy: "I haven't sweated yet, why are you tired of arguing?" ”

Cao Ming used herself as a standard to measure the daily training of Lu Ling, after all, the physical fitness of the two was not much different.

An Min walked into the courtyard at this time and reported: "Niangniang, someone is looking for you and says it's your eldest brother." ”

"Let him in." Cao Ming didn't remember having an appointment with Cao Ang, what did the other party want to do when he was looking for him at this time.

"Please!" An Min led Cao Ang into the courtyard, and the title of the queen's eldest brother was still quite good in the palace.

Cao Ang's complexion is relatively dark, and he must be secretly training on weekdays, wanting to show himself in martial arts.

"I don't know what the big brother is here for?" Cao Ming hadn't seen Cao Ang for a long time, and she always felt that the other party had changed a lot.

Cao Ang said bluntly: "I came to discuss with Niangniang, can I bring my eldest brother with me on the expedition?" ”

"Okay!" Cao Ming knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only agree to the other party's request first, and then discuss the matter with Cao Cao.

Cao Ang took out another night pearl: "Big brother has no good gifts, only to dedicate this night pearl to Niangniang." ”

An Min took the night pearl: "Cao Gongzi's respect, the mother has already understood it, please go back." ”

Cao Ming thought for a while and said, "Don't, since the people have arrived, let's have a meal together." (To be continued.) )
