Cao Zhuan received Xiahou Xu's warning, but did not take it seriously.

Sima Yi had only more than thirty cavalry, but he had one hundred invaders. With more than three times the strength, he was fighting in mountain valleys that were not conducive to the cavalry's galloping. He had the confidence to win.

The question is that Sima Guo is not in the river valley, and the goal of robbing Sima Guo is no longer achieved. Should I launch an attack?

It was too late to send someone back to ask for instructions, so he had to make a decision on his own.

After thinking about it, Cao Zhuan decided that the plan would not change, but changed the target to Sima Yi and his son. Sima Yi was in a war and was the culprit of Cao Xiu's defeat. If Cao Miao hadn't fought with poison, Cao Xiu would have been angry to death.

The revenge of killing your father is irreconcilable. This revenge must be avenged.

Cao Zuan also understood that taking advantage of the chaos to rob people and attacking head-on are two different things, especially the opponents are not ordinary people, so you should be more careful. Not to mention anything else, Sima Yi's battle to attack Mengda at the beginning of the year was still impressive.

Cao Zuan summoned his subordinates, modified the goal, and told everyone that this matter was done and everyone would be rewarded. If anyone is injured or even killed, his family members can receive generous pensions. Of course, if anyone is afraid of the enemy at the time of battle, or sells his owner to seek honor, don't blame him for being rude.

These people are all core parts, and they rely on Cao Xiu based on their family or even their families. If something happens, they will never be able to solve the problem by leaving. Compared with the killing of the whole family, death in battle is a more acceptable ending.

If it weren't for this, Cao Zhan wouldn't dare to take them out to rob people.

According to the original plan, Cao Zuan led his troops to the depths of the river valley. A man sent by Xiahou Xu was a guide and walked on the mountain trail for half an hour. He successfully arrived near Sima Yi's camp.

Sima Yi was not asleep yet. Not only did he not sleep, but he was also on high alert. You could see figures carrying out alertness around the camp, not wearing armor, but they all held shields and knives, ready for battle. Many knights had bows in their hands, had bows on their bows, and the arrow pouch was moved to the appropriate position, ready to fire at any time.

In the middle of the camp, near the river, a bonfire was burning vigorously, and several figures sat around the bonfire. Judging from their figures, they should be Sima Yi and his son. There were several tall armored soldiers standing next to them, and the iron armor on their bodies emitted a cold light under the bonfire.

From them, Cao Zhuan smelled the danger. Needless to say, these people were Sima Yi's most trustworthy confidants, and they were the last line of defense to protect Sima Yi.

Cao Zuan carefully observed and counted the heads, only more than twenty people were counted. According to the prior reconnaissance, there should be more than thirty people around Sima Yi, and the news from Xiahou Xu also confirmed this. In other words, about ten people were hidden by Sima Yi as a surprise weapon.

This is common sense of military use, and Cao Zun is not unfamiliar with it. Since he knew that these people existed, the danger was greatly reduced.

Cao Zhan called a team leader and asked him to arrange five people to attack from different directions to distract Sima Yi's attention. The remaining five people were divided into two parts by him, and some three parts were responsible for supporting and covering them. Once the ten people hidden by Sima Yi appeared, they would immediately block them. Some two people, led by him, attacked Sima Yi himself in order to fight and decide quickly.

Arrange it properly and everyone acted separately.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yishi launched an attack at the southern end of the valley. With the help of rocks and forests, they forced them to the vicinity of the Sima clan's cordon, first attacked with a crossbow, shot two people, and then launched a strong attack.

The Sima tribe immediately adjusted its formation, sent people to reinforce, and relied on the terrain to block the attack.

The two sides were going back and forth, arrows and swords and shields were roaring, and the killing was hard to distinguish.

After a while, a battle also broke out at the northern end of the valley, and the shouts of killing came far along the valley.

Sima Yi sat upright by the campfire, staring at the swaying fire sink, with a faint smile on his lips. He took a sip of wine and said to Sima Shi, Sima Zhao: "Ziyuan, Ziyou, do you think Cao Miao and Cao Zhuan have colluded?"

Sima Shi said: "Of course there are. Cao Zhan often goes to Yongqiu residence to compete with Ah Hu, the guard around Cao Miao, and will naturally meet Cao Miao. Cao Miao does not want to marry, so he asked Cao Zhan to rob Aguo, which is natural."

Sima Zhao nodded and agreed.

Sima Yi shook his head. "What I said is, do Cao Miao know now that Cao Zhuan launches an attack, or does he hope Cao Zhuan launches an attack, or does he not want Cao Zhuan to launch an attack?"

Sima looked around. "It shouldn't be hopeless. After Aguo entered the village, Cao Zhuan could not get rid of anyone, so he was not profitable." He snorted and said, "I have already had a relationship with you, can he still regret it? This should be Cao Zhuan's own cleverness and wants to avenge his father, and it has nothing to do with Cao Miao."

Sima Yi raised his eyelids, looked at Sima Shi, and smiled silently. "Ziyuan, you have brought a few people to the east side. There are suspicious soldiers in the north and south, and Cao Zun must come from the hillside on the east side. He is very strong and has asked Cao Miao for advice on martial arts. You must be careful and not show off your personal intentions."

Sima Shi responded and stood up and left. Sima Yi raised his hand, and four soldiers followed him, protecting Sima Shi.

Sima Yi stood up and looked up at Buzhou Villa halfway up the mountain. There were still lights in the villa, and it was obvious that there was no rest yet. Perhaps Cao Miao was standing on the small building to watch the battle. Thinking of the conversation with Cao Miao, Sima Yi sighed secretly.

Cao Miao's hostility towards him exceeded his imagination. His weakness, his tolerance, and his compromise seemed to have no effect. Cao Miao asked him to say the name of the envoy behind the scenes through Xiahou Hui's mouth to express his sincerity in forming an alliance. This is a clear proof.

How could he say that person's name? Not to mention him, even the emperor could not do anything to that person. Cao Miao pretended to be crazy and stupid, but he was just a jumping man. He still had some chances to deal with Cang Ji and Wang Ji, but he had no chance to deal with that man.

The Luoyang Incident in the late Jian'an and Wei Feng's rebellion were all behind that person. Emperor Wu knew it very well, but he had no choice but to do anything. In order to compete for his heir, Emperor Wen could only worship under the bed and give it to five cooked pots to express his feelings.

How could Cao Miao, a child, shake his foundation?

It’s not that he didn’t want to tell Cao Miao. If Cao Miao had this ability, overturned that person, or even overturned the entire Ruying family, he would tell Cao Miao the name without hesitation. But Cao Miao did not have this ability, and it would be harmful and useless to tell him. Even if Cao Miao was overestimating himself and wanted to have a conflict with that person, he didn’t want to be stuck in the middle. He just wanted to watch on the wall, watch Cao Miao’s head run out of blood, and then see if he could make a profit from it.

But now something happened, Cao Miao actually accepted the marriage, and the twists and turns he expected did not occur at all.

Once this news comes out, can that person still believe him?

Sima Yi scratched his head, feeling like he couldn't fish, but was dragged down by the fish.
