If you have meat to eat, and if you have meat to eat every day in the future, the guards and servants of the Yongqiu Palace were greatly motivated and their mental outlook was completely renewed.

Only Lao Song knew that this was Cao Miao's idea, and no one else knew it. He just thought it was Cao Zhi or Cao Zhi's decision, rolled up his sleeves and patted his chest, and vowed to protect the king and the prince.

Lao Song picked some guards who were well-armed, under 60 years old, and could carry a knife to fight in training, organized them to train, restore their physical strength, and picked up the skills that had been lost for nearly ten years. There were also some thirteen or fourteen years old in the team, and Lao Song was even more attentive. Not only did he give priority to their food, but he also arranged for Ahu, a good martial arts skill, to take them to train.

After all, they are the future of the Yongqiu Palace.

There is no doubt that Ah Hu is already the number one master of the Yongqiu Palace, and his loyalty is even more exemplary. Even if the eldest prince uses sticks to beat him every day, he will remain loyal to the eldest prince and be loyal.

After walking for a day, the guards who had eaten their fill for the first time refused to sleep. Some gathered together to practice, while others gathered together to brag.

Cao Miao finished washing up early and went to bed.

He lives in a high-quality guest room in the small building in the backyard of Qiting. He should usually entertain high-ranking officials. The conditions are good, but the key is that it is free. With the imperial edict in hand, they can eat and live in Luoyang for free. Of course, there are fixed standards for entourage, and they can only pay for extra meals by themselves.

After the sun set, the heat dissipated a little, and coupled with the ice cubes sent by the pavilion chief, the room was quite cool.

Cao Miao seized the time and slept early. He had a premonition that after leaving the palace, the two wires he placed outside would find a way to contact him and bring him the news he needed.

When she went out, she didn't have so many rooms like in the mansion. Qingtao and Hongxing didn't have their own room, so she could only play on the floor in Cao Miao's room. Qingtao was worried that Hongxing would wake up in the middle of the night, so she deliberately pulled Hongxing to play Liubo, and lost two money to her from time to time. Hongxing was originally a playful age, and she was rich but fragile, and was in high spirits. She kept playing until she couldn't open her eyes and yawned all the time. Then she fell asleep with the money she had won, and couldn't wake her up no matter how she called her.

Sure enough, Han Dong came just after Hongxing fell asleep.

Han Dong was very busy during this period. He first rushed back to Luoyang from Yongqiu to report the results of Yongqiu's trip to Yin Mo. He then accepted a new task and rushed to Shou County to review the contact between the Grand Marshal Cao Xiu and the Wu people. This time he passed by, so he stopped specially to find an opportunity to meet Cao Miao.

Cao Miao guessed that the person who asked the surrender to the Grand Marshal Cao Xiu was Zhou Bing, the prefect of Yuzhang. However, it was not a false surrender, so it is hard to say now. First, this matter is highly confidential, not many people know, and Yin Mo's identity is not enough, so I don't know the specific situation. Second, no matter whether Zhou Bing was a false surrender or not, the Grand Marshal Cao Xiu would send troops. This time it was not the Grand Marshal Cao Xiu who sent troops alone, but joined forces with General Sima Yi of the Cavalry and Jia Kui of Yuzhou, and advanced in three directions.

Even though Cao Miao was mentally prepared, he was still surprised. He didn't understand what Cao Rui wanted to do.

What kind of slutty operation is this? Is Dongwu so easy to fight?

Han Dong could not explain the intentions of the court, but he provided a message: Jia Kui, the governor of Yuzhou, took the lead.

According to previous practice, the governor of Yuzhou should be controlled by the generals guarding Jingzhou, or cooperate with the generals guarding Yangzhou, and rarely acted alone. This time the appointment of Jia Kui was unusual and seemed to have a profound meaning.

Han Dong didn't know what the deep meaning was. He just thought the news might be useful and notified Cao Miao.

Cao Miao was very satisfied and ordered Qingtao to take a golden cake and give it to Han Dong.

Han Dong refused to accept it. Cao Miao said that the war was imminent, prices would inevitably rise. Han Dong's status was too low and he didn't even have the qualification to blackmail, so the little allowance from the School Bureau is definitely not enough. It would be easier to bring more money and do things, so as not to worry about food and accommodation every day and waste time and energy. If you want to bribe or something, it would not be too shabby.

Han Dong was very grateful and bowed to him again.

Han Dong left, but Cao Miao couldn't sleep. He didn't understand Cao Rui's intention. In his opinion, although there were many opponents, the real boss was Cao Rui. All his plans were designed with Cao Rui as an imaginary enemy. If he didn't know what Cao Rui wanted to do, these plans would be meaningless.

Cao Miao and Qingtao discussed a few words, but they did not get any valuable opinions. Qingtao had limited knowledge of the court and had no experience in this regard.

Cao Miao was helpless. The father and son were the commanders who were barely responsible. When encountering problems, there was no one to give advice. Faced with such unexpected things, the only person who was most qualified to speak was Cao Zhi. But he really couldn't believe Cao Zhi's political IQ.

A person who can play a pretty good hand of cards can still play a good game in the face of this bad hand?

You can't hurry up and take it slowly.

Fortunately, I don't have anything else, but I have time.

Cao Miao thought about it and felt it was necessary to urge Cao Zhi to exercise and live a few more years. If he could survive Sima Yi, even if he couldn't turn the tables, the result would be nowhere near. After all, the identity of the emperor's uncle was there. As long as he didn't commit suicide, no one would dare to touch him easily.

The next morning, just dawn, Cao Miao got up, but his face was not washed. He brought a stick that usually used to help Ah Hu to practice the golden bell cover and iron cloth shirt and came to Cao Zhi's room next door. Mrs. Xie got up early and was instructing the servants to clean up in the yard. Seeing Cao Miao coming in with a stick, his face was not very good-looking, she ordered her maid Cuiyu to come into the house to wake up Cao Zhi, and bowed forward.

"Good morning, prince, come and see the king?"

Cao Miao pointed at Mrs. Xie with a stick. "Do not go away! Who will give you the courage to block my way?"

Mrs. Xie was slightly stunned. Cao Miao rarely talked to her, but she had never been so fierce and rude. At most, she was just indifferent. She didn't react for a moment. Cao Miao gently used a stick to push her aside and walked into the house.

Cao Zhi had just been woken up by Cui Yu, but before he understood what was going on, Cao Miao had already walked in. Seeing the stick in Cao Miao's hand, Cao Zhi thrust, jumped up, and rushed towards the Shu desk beside him. Cao Miao's eyes were quick and fast, and the stick hit the desk with a "bang", which scared Cao Zhi quickly shrank his hand.

Cao Miao picked up a stack of paper on the table, looked at it, and then looked at Cao Zhi, his eyes becoming more and more unkind.

"It's true that I'm not changing my destiny. No wonder Emperor Wu asked me to have a dream and let me take a look." Cao Miao said, and the stick in his hand danced whirring. "Hand stretched out! I won't break your hand today, my surname will be yours."

Cuiyu was a little confused. "Big Prince, you are originally surnamed Wang."

"Too talk!" Cao Miao glared. "Tomorrow I will give you a concubine to Ah Hu and let him beat you three times a day. Get out!"

Cui Yu was so scared that he shivered, and turned around and ran away. Cao Zhi also reacted, rushed over and rushed out of the room in front of Cui Yu. His skill was so flexible that Cao Miao felt inferior.

It seemed that the foundation was still there. Cao Miao was happy, and he chased him out with a stick.
