Chapter 209
After living in the villa for more than half a month, Cao Miao walked out of the villa for the first time and returned to Luoyang City.
Before visiting the Taiwei Mansion, Cao Miao went to the Grand Sima Mansion first.
Cao Xiu's injuries gradually healed and he was able to get up and walk around. However, the wound on his back was very deep. In addition, he was over fifty years old and his physical fitness was not as good as before. It was impossible to recover as before. His arduous military career was no longer suitable for him, but no one dared to tell him.
The only idea that supports him to survive is to take revenge. Not allowing him to take revenge is to take his life.
Cao Miao didn't like Cao Xiu, and felt that this person was not qualified to be a great Sima, no matter whether he was capable or demeanor, he was not qualified to be a great Sima. What a thousand-mile gulp, Lao Cao was really a mouthful of poisonous milk. Most of the things he praised for did not end up well, either died young or had no protection in his later years.
"Thank you for the recommendation of Grand Sima. I'm going to Yangzhou." Cao Miao said to Cao Xiu, with his neat big white teeth, he had to smile very fakely.
Cao Xiu glanced at Cao Miao, his hands were itchy and he wanted to hit someone. He had already learned the emperor's meaning from Cao Zhaozhi's mouth. Cao Miao agreed to Jiangdong between the lines and obstructed Sun Quan from becoming emperor, but he wanted to organize his own actions and not obey the command of the Yangzhou Governor's District.
His idea of taking the opportunity to teach Cao Miao a lesson was dashed.
"You are here for this?" Cao Xiu pinched his fingers and calmed himself as much as possible, and did not lose his composure and lose his identity as an elder.
"Of course not." Cao Miao said: "I'm going to visit the Grand Marshal and come to see the Grand Marshal. I have another thing I want to discuss with the Grand Marshal."
"What's up?"
"Last time Des ambushed the Taiwei and his son, he fought well, especially his personal abilities. I want to ask him if he is interested in accompanying me."
Cao Xiu was slightly stunned and felt uneasy. "Accompany you to Jiangdong?"
Cao Miao nodded with a smile and said meaningfully: "Isn't Da Sima so reluctant to let it go, right?"
Cao Xiu's face became ugly.
He agreed to be Jiangdong from Cao Miao's journey, and wanted to take Cao Miao under his command, and to let him make some contributions and repay him for saving his life, and to teach him a lesson, so that he knew that it was not easy to be in the army and not be so self-righteous. Now Cao Miao finally agreed to go, but was not controlled by him, so he had no interest in caring.
After many years of corps, he knew better than anyone else how dangerous the traits were. Those sent out assassins, with detailed works, casualties ranked first among all the troops in the army, and even compared with the first to the first. For most people, this kind of trait is a life-long life, with no return, and is called the trait in military art.
Let Cao Zhuan go is equivalent to let Cao Zhuan die.
But after all, this matter has his own part and arouses his shame. If he pity Cao Zhan and refuses to let him go, how can he explain it to outsiders?
Your son's life is life, but Cao Miao's life is not life? You lost this face, not Cao Zhi.
If Cao Miao repeatedly refused to act and the emperor blamed him, he would not be able to explain.
No matter what aspect, Cao Xiu couldn't speak. This really hit him in the foot and smashed him to pieces.
"What plan do you have?" Cao Xiu reluctantly calmed down and asked a key question. He wanted to hear Cao Miao's plan. If Cao Miao's plan was too wasteful, he would write to the emperor to cancel the action. There are many ways to teach Cao Miao a lesson. It would be too expensive to take advantage of Cao Zan.
"I don't have a specific plan yet, but I need Grand Sima to provide me with some reliable and capable people. I plan to organize an operation team to provide support when necessary and to withdraw. I think Des can serve as the commander of this operation team."
Cao Xiu nodded. "Are there any specific requirements?"
"There is not too many people, but you must be versatile, able to ride horses, boats, long and close combat, cavalry battles, infantry battles, etc. People should be smart, preferably in the accent of the Jianghuai area to avoid revealing their appearance..."
Cao Miao said a lot of requests in one breath. Cao Xiu listened very seriously and looked at Cao Miao from time to time. The more he listened, the more he felt that Cao Miao’s plan was good. At least he had thought about it seriously. There were many details that looked ridiculous. When he thought about it carefully, it was reasonable and even exquisite.
For example, the Jianghuai accent.
There is a big difference between the accent of Jianghuai and Jiangdong. However, for so many years, the world has been fighting repeatedly, and the people have long escaped, and most of them have fled to Jiangdong, especially the Jianye area.
There are many military farm areas along the river in Sunwu, which specialize in providing food for the soldiers stationed in the garrison. Among these military farm soldiers, many of them are the people who escaped from the Jianghuai River. Inside and outside Jianye City, a large number of people from the Jianghuai River were gathered. They left their hometowns and had no land. In addition to becoming the tribes of the Jiangdong clan and tenants, they made a living near the city, either as prostitutes or slaves, or as hardworking, or doing some small business.
Sun Quan had the strength to confront the Central Plains. These people who fled from Jianghuai played a significant role, and naturally formed a certain force. Especially when these people were linked to the Huai Si generals and fought against the local tribes in Jiangdong, it became an unstable factor within Jiangdong and was one of the opportunities that Cao Miao could take advantage of.
If several generals could be encouraged to rebel, Sun Quan would have to consider it carefully if he wanted to become emperor, at least he might slow down.
Cao Xiu felt that Cao Miao's chance of success was much higher than he thought, and maybe he could really win by surprise. He has been commanding troops for many years, but he has never seen a spy like Cao Miao with a meticulous mind, and has never seen such a detailed plan.
Perhaps, it would not be a bad thing to ask Cao Zhan to go with him.
Cao Xiu thought about it for a long time and agreed to Cao Miao. He could ask Cao Zhuan to follow Cao Miao, or arrange some reliable personnel to provide necessary support, but he had to keep abreast of Cao Miao's progress at any time.
Cao Miao agreed. With Cao Zhan accompanying him, he believed that Cao Xiu would not be so stupid that he would attack his back and cut off his way.
Cao Xiu called Cao Zhan.
Hearing that he could go to Jiangdong with Cao Miao to cause trouble, Cao Zhuan was so excited that he nodded in agreement. He did not have as many concerns as Cao Xiu. Now he just wanted to kill Jiangdong to avenge Cao Xiu's humiliation. As for danger, he didn't care about it at all.
In his opinion, if Cao Miao comes up with advice and joining forces with Ah Hu, no one can stop him.
Seeing Cao Zhuan flattering Cao Miao like a lackey, Cao Xiu's hands became even more itchy. He decided to beat Cao Zhuan hard before departure.
Cao Miao said goodbye to Cao Xiu and took Cao Zhan to the Taiwei Mansion.
Cao Zhuan didn't want to go, but Cao Miao changed his mind after a few words.
Cao Miao said, don’t you want to see your opponent up close? Sima Shi was beaten to a useless person by you, Sima Yi was self-injured, but he didn’t report it. Do you think he wanted to settle things? You were wrong, and a dog that didn’t bark was the cruelest. Sima Yi didn’t report it, not because he wanted to turn war with you father and son into jade, but because he kept the account in his heart and paid it twice in the future with principal and interest.
What should you do? Of course, you should take advantage of his illness and kill him. Even if you can't do it, you can still anger them. If you can anger them to death, you will be over.
Will it be a life-threatening thing for someone to be angry? If Sima was angry to death, would Sima Yi take responsibility?
