The two Cao generals didn't see Deng Ai's movements, but Cao Zhi, who was hiding in the innermost, did.

He shouted, "Don't hurt Zhongda!" ”

Only then did everyone look over, and they saw Deng Ai holding a short blade, and he had already arrived in front of Sima Yi's case.

Sima Yi hid behind the case and retreated in terror, Deng Ai's dagger was already unsheathed.

Cao Zhi said: "Ah Liu, girl! I don't know what kind of hatred my uncle has with Zhongda, but please look at my thin face and spare his life! ”

Ah Liu didn't expect Deng Ai to do this, this young man had such a ruthless and decisive side.

Cao Chong coughed and staggered to his feet, wanting to block in front of Sima Yi.

Ah Liu finally shouted: "Xiao Ai, you can't hurt the two sons!" ”

Deng Ai looked at Sima Yi fiercely and put the dagger back into its sheath.

Cao Hong grabbed his hair, not understanding what this scene was at all, while Cao Ren watched this scene with great interest.

Cao Zhi said: "Ah Liu girl, please tell my uncle that my father once praised Zhongda and told our brother that he is an auxiliary minister, and he should not be moved!" ”

After what happened just now, he found that the generals in charge of the military were all respectful to Cao Ah Liu, so he also changed his tone of persuasion, instead of ordering Ah Liu as Cao Cao's son.

Ah Liu sighed, now in this scene, the two sons protect Sima Yi, and Sima Yi can't die again, it's a pity.

Cao Ren said: "It's better to be like this, I'll be a peacemaker." I want to carry out the prime minister's order, and the prime minister said, this is very difficult, since Xiao Wu has murderous intentions towards this Sima Zhongda, then it is good, let him go with me, if he can survive, he will spare his life, if he can't survive, it is his creation. ”

Facing Sima Yi, the son of the Sima family in Hanoi and extremely favored by Cao Cao, Cao Ren announced his fate so decisively.

It's not because he doesn't look down on Hanoi Sima, quite the opposite. In his heart, Cao Wu has nothing to do, the people he wants to kill, he will kill them, it is not a big deal, but it is because Sima in Hanoi is really not easy to mess with, and Sima Yi is indeed talented, so he gave Sima Yi a chance.

It is because of the importance that there is a glimmer of life.

Sima Yi bit his lip, since Cao Aliu stood up, his face had not looked good, his hands trembled like chaff, but he had endured it without breaking out.

Ah Liu made a blessing to Cao Ren and said, "The general doesn't have to do this to me as a servant, since the general has decided, let's do it." ”

Cao Zhi and Cao Chong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had just pleaded with a servant girl, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and they didn't know what kind of energy the general of Beifu had to make the two uncles with heavy troops attach so much importance to them.

Cao Hong said impatiently: "Xiao Wu annoying person, what are you doing for such a good opportunity!" It's no problem to let this Sima Zhongda go with you, but you can only let him be a small school guarding the city, and if he doesn't survive, it's just fate! ”

Cao Ren nodded and agreed: "That's right!" Sima Zhongda, I remember that you were also ordered to come to the front line, and the formalities are self-contained, so come with me! ”

Sima Yi's face was pale, although he didn't know where he was going, but he heard that he was defending the city, and he was going to die for a lifetime.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Please also ask the two generals to allow me to collect the remains of my servants." ”

Cao Hong sneered and waved his hand: "Zixiao's military situation is urgent, how can I have time to collect the corpse for you, let's leave quickly!" ”

Sima Yi pursed his lips and followed Cao Ren out dejectedly.

When passing by Ah Liu's side, he quietly looked up at Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang also looked at him.

Zhuge Liang was sure that although they only looked at each other for a moment, Sima Yi did not have a trace of decadence on his face at all, but looked at him with a wolf star.

All his expressions are pretended!

Zhuge Liang's expression was complicated, and he didn't understand what kind of person this was, so enduring.

When Cao Ren left, Cao Zhi asked with a wry smile: "Uncle, what did Uncle Zixiao do?" ”

Cao Hong looked around, and now there were only Cao Zhi brothers, Ah Liu, Deng Ai and Zhuge Liang left in the huge venue.

He said, "None of them are outsiders, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." Zixiao received an order from the lord to let him ride a fast horse day and night, and rush to Hefei within five days to take charge of Hefei's defense! ”

No one else reacted in particular, but Zhuge Liang was surprised: "From here to Hefei, it is more than a thousand miles, and it will arrive within five days, it seems that the military situation is really urgent!" Could it be Jiangdong Sun Quan, who is going to attack Hefei? ”

Cao Hong glanced at Zhuge Liang unexpectedly, but he didn't expect that there was another person here who understood military affairs, and nodded: "Exactly." It is said that Xiao Wu came back from the enemy camp, saying that Cheng Puxing had 50,000 soldiers and would arrive in Hefei in a few days. ”

Ah Liu said "ah", and said with a pale face: "Is my general still in Jiangdong!" ”

Cao Hong shook his head: "It's the prime minister's order, and I don't know the specific situation." ”

Zhuge Liang was thinking in his heart, he and Cao Wu agreed that as long as Sun Quan sent troops, he would give advice to Cao Wu, and now it seems that Sun Quan has been dispatched, and he must also take action.

He pulled Ah Liu and said, "We have to go to the front line of the Yangtze River and do our best for the war." ”

Ah Liu, who was worried about Cao Wu, also said: "Yes, let's go quickly!" ”

At that moment, the three of them and the three Cao confessed and drove south overnight.

The three heavyweights surnamed Cao who were left behind looked at each other, Cao Chong coughed a few times, and said forcibly: "Hefei Defense, isn't there already an assassin Shi Wenhui, don't drive Jiang Ji?" Why do you want to send another uncle Zixiao? ”

It stands to reason that Thorn Shi knows more about the local army, and if Cao Ren is leading a large army to support, it is normal to be in charge of the defense.

However, with a distance of thousands of miles, the march of the large army, I am afraid that it will not take a month, and Cao Ren will not be able to arrive with his troops in five days.

Not surprisingly, Cao Ren may only be able to bring the officials who were ordered to be on standby in Xiangyang at that time, and he may not be able to bring them all.

Isn't it better for a bare-bones commander to go to Hefei than to command the local assassin history?

Cao Hong laughed a few times and said, "It is said that it is the filial piety of Xiao Wujiao." ”

"General Beifu?"

Cao Zhi and Cao Chong frowned at the same time, what they saw today has refreshed their perception of the Beifu general, and the Beifu general will compose poems to impress the scribes, although this is bizarre, but it is not incomprehensible, after all, everyone in the Cao family is brilliant.

But this Beifu general still knows about the military?

The key is that their father Cao Cao's suspicious personality listened to him, and asked Cao Ren, who was far away in Jiangling, to rush to Xiangyang, and rushed to Hefei day and night?

Why? Is Cao Wu such a powerful strategist? Why have I never heard of it before?

Cao Chong only felt that this uncle had become more mysterious.

Cao Zhi thought that he had heard that Sima Yi and Cao Pi were very close, and now he understood why Cao Wu was targeting Sima Yi, it turned out that Cao Wu also had that heart!

He sneered in his heart, it seemed that not only did he have to win over Sima Yi, but he also had to find a way to collect Cao Wu's information, and he had already prepared.

However, Cao Hong slapped his head, suddenly remembered something, and ordered someone to call Cao Ashi over and treat Cao Chong.

It's just that in this way, Cao Ashi and Cao Aliu missed, and the two didn't even meet, and they didn't know about each other's appearance.

Ah Shi checked Cao Chong's pulse and found that Cao Chong had just eaten too many herbs recently, which hurt his body, and it was no big deal.

But she groaned slightly, and felt that Cao Chong seemed to have been poisoned, but she was not sure.

At the moment, some medicine was prescribed, and the toxins were removed first.

Zhang Zhongjing's personal disciple is naturally not trivial, Cao Chong's medicine was cured, and his face was visibly red. Cao Zhi was overjoyed, and finally felt that the trip was worthwhile, and then scolded Yecheng quack for not mentioning it.

……

In the night, in the carriage of the south, Zhuge Liang and Deng Ai finally saw Cao Asan for the first time.

Her arm was wrapped in a white cloth, and her face was also very pale, obviously injured.

Ah Liu was carefully rubbing the medicine on her.

Zhuge Liang said with concern: "Is the third girl okay?" ”

Ah Liu shook his head: "The one who played the drum arranged by Sima Thief has a poisonous dagger in his hand!" ”

Zhuge Liang and Deng Ai glanced at each other, and they were both a little more vigilant against Sima Yi's ruthlessness.

Ah Liu was busy, a piece of letterhead fell out of Ah San's arms, she picked it up and read it, her face turned pale.

"Third sister, the general clearly said here that if you can't kill Sima Yi within ten days, just let him go, and the general will have his own means to deal with Sima Yi in the future. Now that the ten-day period has long passed, why do you take so many risks for this matter? ”

Only then did everyone understand that Cao Wu did not ask Ah San to kill Sima Yi, but an idle man who fell into chess, killed if he could, and forgot if he couldn't kill him.

Ah San didn't look over, and said stubbornly: "I didn't do a good job of what the general ordered......"

Ah Liu sighed, hugged her body, and tears fell: "I understand, I understand." ”

Zhuge Liang and Deng Ai are even more curious about the general of Beifu, these strange women in Beifu are so desperate for him one by one, which is amazing.

After a while, Ah San suddenly remembered something and said weakly: "By the way, I will assassinate today, and the stand-in who plays the drum is by no means an ordinary dead soldier!" ”

……

In the same night, Cao Ren and Sima Yi rode on the field.

Cao Ren didn't bring anything except his long knife and personal armor, and he didn't give Sima Yi time to bring things.

Sima Yi rode a horse and followed behind Cao Ren, knowing that this was the only chance to survive, his riding skills were far inferior to Cao Ren, who had been fighting for many years, but he chased Cao Ren to the death, lest he fall behind.

In the middle of the night, the two of them ran dozens of miles.

When he arrived at a post station, Cao Ren said: "I will rest here today, I asked the post station to change horses for us, and we will continue the trip tomorrow morning." ”

Sima Yi nodded yes, he knew that the purpose of this trip was Hefei.

Cao Ren was afraid that he would be late and would not be able to familiarize himself with the defense, so he compressed five days into four days, and in these few days, I am afraid that the light horse will have to be changed many times, and he will have to work like this every day.

Sima has a large family in Hanoi, and Cao Ren is not afraid of Sima Yi running away, if he runs away, he can deal with his family by military law.

So the two slept in two rooms.

When the surroundings calmed down, Sima Yi fell on the bed, already in tears.

Where is the dead soldier who died today, but his young sixth brother Sima Jin!

Pity his younger brother Sima Huida, who was obviously the strongest martial artist among their Sima Bada, but he still failed to make a few moves in the hands of the assassin and was brutally killed.

At the moment when the poem "The warrior army is half dead in front of the army, and the beauty is still singing and dancing", Sima Jin and the assassin secretly exchanged several moves, injured the assassin, and died himself.

At that moment, Sima Yi, who witnessed the death of his younger brother, was heartbroken, but he still endured it and continued.

He knew that he was small, and if he collapsed on the spot, he would probably never have a chance to take revenge.

His tears flowed silently, and soon soaked the pillow, which he turned over again so as not to be discovered.

He secretly swore in his heart that he must be strong, even if he was a dog to Cao Pi or Cao Zhi, he would be strong.

He must take revenge on the general of Beifu, the man who inexplicably attacked his son and killed his brother, he must die!

……

It's the same night.

"Ahh

Cao Wu, who was far away in Chaisang, sneezed.

Recently, he was really helpless, he wanted to go out, but he couldn't.

In this era, there is indeed a diplomatic etiquette of not beheading, but not beheading does not mean that it cannot be detained.

Not to mention far away, let's just say that in recent years, Yuan Shu alone has done such things several times, Taifu Ma Riyan sent Yuan Shu on behalf of Li Dao, and was detained, and Qin Yilu, the first nest of the Three Kingdoms, sent Yuan Shu on behalf of Lu Bu, and was also detained.

Sun Quan's power was inherited from Sun Jian, and Sun Jian was born as a general under Yuan Shu, so it was normal for him to inherit this tradition.

This is the situation he encounters now, he behaves so well that Sun Quan takes a fancy to his ability and is unwilling to let him go back.

Cao Wu sat in the courtyard and looked at the sky, and sighed: "Sure enough, if people are too good, it's not good, and they will be remembered." ”

Ah Da sat on his left and said, "Honestly, I admit that you are very powerful. But Sun Zhongmou kept you down because you were a sycophant. ”

Cao Wu laughed and said: "Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, this is not what I said." ”

He clapped his hands and stood up, and continued, "But if you are willing to admit that I am good, I am still happy. ”

Ah Da thought about it, didn't know what to think, his face turned red, he stood up and left.

Cao Wu went to Zhang Xia and repeated tonight's plan again.

Sun Shangxiang sat in the courtyard to their left, usually only two little maids waiting.

At night, when everyone fell asleep, Zhang Xia and the others sneaked into Sun Shangxiang's courtyard and tied her up.

Then they went out of the courtyard and hid themselves at the gates of the city, and waited until dawn, when the gates were opened, and they immediately broke out of the city.

If something is wrong, take Sun Shangxiang as a hostage, presumably Sun Ben, Sun Shangxiang's cousin, would not dare to joke with Sun Shangxiang's life.

When she got to a safe area, she gave Sun Shangxiang a horse and put her back, after all, this little girl has martial arts, so she doesn't have to worry about accidents.

Then they leaped into the sea, and the sky was high for the birds to fly.

Oh, by the way, the matter of putting Sun Shangxiang back was strongly requested by Ah Da, and Cao Wu had to sigh that the trust between people was really difficult.

He is a little amorous and a little scum, but he came from the era of civilization, and Sun Shangxiang, a little girl who has not yet reached the adult standard of his time, he will naturally not be interested.

After all, his brother Cao Mengde, the family heirloom is here, and a wife like Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao is his dish...... One.

When he returns to Cao Cao's actual control area, he will make peace with Zhuge Liang, and I believe that with Zhuge Liang's ingenuity, he will definitely be able to detect Sun Quan's dispatch of troops and come back to fulfill the agreement.

Then, it is to jointly analyze the situation of the Battle of Chibi and wait for the Battle of Chibi to happen.

He's done so much for this fight.

The troops invested by the Cao army far exceeded the troops in history, and then he transferred Cao Ren, who was the best at defending the city in the Cao army, to Hefei to defend Cheng Pu's army, resulting in Zhou Yu getting only 10,000 people, instead of 30,000 in history.

He also pointed out to Cao Cao in a letter that he could not kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, so as not to have no one to command the sailors, and he could not believe Huang Gai Jiang Gan, so as not to fall into the scheme.

We must be cautious of fire attacks and guard against the east wind.

The probability of Zhou Yu winning is so low that it can't be lower.

In this way, everything is ready, only ......

Phew!

Everything is ready, just wait for the news of victory!

He summed up his layout left and right, and couldn't help but smile.

Opposite him were twenty-six-year-old Sun Quan, thirty-two-year-old Zhou Yu, forty-seven-year-old Liu Bei, and the newly joined, twenty-nine-year-old Pang Tong.

But he, the traverser Cao Wu, has been laying out for too long for this day.

Now, he has a twenty-seven-year-old Zhuge Liang, and he is ready for everything.

Labor and management flying dragon ride face, how to lose!
