The next morning, Xiahou Xu reported that Sima Yi and his son were seriously injured due to attacks by bandits. The blind date had to be suspended and they returned to the city to heal their injuries first.

Cao Miao was very surprised. He only heard that Sima Shi was injured. Why was Sima Yi also injured?

Xiahou Xu couldn't explain it clearly. Sima Yi was told this by someone that he had not seen Sima Yi. Early in the morning, before dawn, Sima Yi's family left, leaving only Xiahou Hui - she wanted to take several other Sima women back together.

This result is somewhat surprising, but when you think about it carefully, it is reasonable.

Marriage is just a means of Sima Yi keeping a low profile. Now that their father and son are seriously injured, it is impossible to return to the battlefield in a short period of time. The threat to the court is greatly reduced, so naturally there is no need to use the means of marrying him.

While eating breakfast, Cao Miao carefully considered Sima Yi's intentions. The more he thought about it, the more he admired Sima Yi's ruthlessness and shamelessness. Of course, he became more determined to get rid of this old thief. He just said that it was not that urgent now.

He now has a bigger opponent to solve.

"This villa is not peaceful." Cao Miao sighed and scratched his head. "Boyuan, you can find a way to raise some money. We have to recruit some people to strengthen the safety of the villa. These bandits are too brave. Even the Grand Marshal dares to attack me. It's not easy to kill me."

Xiahou Xu disagreed. "Who wants to kill you? Desi?"

"This is hard to say. Don't forget, I'm also a person with blood debts on my hands."

Xiahou Xu was stunned, and then he remembered that Cao Miao killed Wang Ji and became enemies with the Taiyuan Wang family. The Taiyuan Wang family did not move now does not mean that they did not move in the future. Or on the contrary, the longer they endured, the more ruthless they became in revenge, and the less room they left.

"Okay, I'll go back to the city after breakfast."

"Has Yuanrong left?"

"He has left." Xiahou Xu secretly glanced at Cao Miao. Cao Miao fell ill last night, but now he can't see any illness, which makes him wonder if he read it wrong or heard it wrong. Or Cao Miao didn't actually get sick, it was just an excuse. "Sima Shi was injured, and she was very anxious and left after using the food."

"Look at this..." Cao Miao smacked his lips and felt guilty. "After returning to the city, you can go to the Taiwei Mansion to visit. No matter what, it was something that happened in the villa. As the host, I should go to comfort me. I am in poor health, so please do it for you. Don't be reluctant to spend money, bring some good medicinal materials."

Xiahou Xu rolled his eyes and complained in his heart. You said beautifully, but you paid for it. When you touched your upper lip, you were generous. No one was more generous than you. You just didn’t give a single penny, so I asked me to find a way.

Seeing that Xiahou Xu's expression was wrong, Cao Miao asked with concern: "Boyuan, do you have something to say?"

"Ah, no."

——

After breakfast, Xiahou Xu left.

Cao Miao took Ahu and others out of the villa and came to the river valley to survey the battlefield.

Listening to the ear is false, and listening to the eyes is true. Sometimes even seeing the eyes may not be true. You have to repeatedly deduce it to eliminate the false and retain the truth in order to get closer to the truth.

Cao Miao knew who he was facing. He would not easily accept Sima Yi's remarks, and only the conclusions he had drawn were credible.

After spending nearly a day, walking within 500 meters around the battlefield, and comparing the situation I saw last night, the battle between the two sides was reproduced in my mind.

Judging from the overall situation, Cao Zuan did not make any obvious mistakes, and of course he could not be said to be clever. The two wings attacked, broke through the middle line, and were in a proper manner.

Sima Yi was not wrong, even more sophisticated than Cao Zuan. He took advantage of the advantages brought by defense and chose the terrain early, concentrated his troops to defend intensively on the center line, and used crossbows to kill.

Judging from the blood stains left on the ground, the places where the casualties occurred were outside the battle between the two sides. In other words, the casualties were Cao Zhan's people. Cao Zhan suffered a great loss, and Sima Yi was not even injured.

If Cao Zhan hadn't made a forcibly breaking through with his personal force and severely attacked Sima Shi, this battle would have Sima Yi completely abused Cao Zhan.

Cao Miao found Sima Yi's injured location, but he didn't understand how Sima Yi was injured. Sima Yi was in the middle of the battlefield, with his back against the river, away from the battle site. If he was injured, there was a high possibility of being shot by a crossbow. However, he was protected by a shield-carried soldier, and the possibility of being shot by a crossbow was close to nothing. Within ten steps beside Sima Yi, there were no traces left by arrows.

Cao Miao suspected that Cao Zhan arranged for someone to dive to approach Sima Yi and launched a raid, but he found no evidence.

In short, there are many suspicious points in this battle, and the biggest suspicious point is Sima Yi's injury. Cao Miao is 70% sure that Sima Yi is cheating, and he just wants to play a trick and play himself as the person who is insulted and hurt.

During dinner, Cao Zhuan came. He walked and walked with a pride on his face. As soon as he saw Cao Miao, he grinned and smiled happily: "Yunliang, the move Ahu taught was so good. It was really a fierce tiger going down the mountain and it was unstoppable." While speaking, he gestured and danced.

Cao Miao interrupted Cao Zong with contempt. Cao Zong practiced against Ah Hu for a long time, but he learned the basics and more about responding to the enemy and counterattacking quickly, and did not learn the real technique. This move was just a drawing of the tiger, and it was just like a figure. However, he was strong and mastered the basic method of exerting force, his strength was clear and even more powerful, and it was difficult for ordinary people to withstand his attack.

One force reduces ten goals. The innate advantage lies here. Unless you encounter a evenly matched opponent like Ah Hu, ordinary people cannot stop Cao Zuan at all.

"I heard that you not only hurt Sima Shi, but also Sima Yi?"

Cao Zhuan was stunned. "Who said that? The old thief was hiding behind, and I couldn't even see him. How could he hurt him?"

Cao Miao was not surprised at all. "You didn't arrange for someone to dive over and attack him?"

Cao Zhuan blinked his eyes and slapped his forehead. "What a pity. I didn't think about it at that time, so I thought of besieging the old thief into the river and drowned. I never thought that the old thief was cunning enough that he could not attack, but he injured more than a dozen people. But I was not a loss. I injured Sima Shi. I heard that he screamed so badly, so I should have been very injured. Yunliang, have you ever seen his injuries? Is it serious?"

"See." Cao Miao nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, Sima Shi will inherit the will of his ancestors and become the Grand Shigong."

Cao Zhan was stunned for a while before he realized who Taishi Gong was. He couldn't help laughing and became more and more proud. He only knew that he had injured Sima Shi, but he didn't know that Sima Shi was so seriously injured. When he thought that Sima Yi's eldest son was beaten to a eunuch by him, he felt particularly relieved.

Sima Shit had a daughter but no son yet. If he really became a eunuch, he would be the last one.

"Oh, you said just now that Sima Yi was injured, is it true?"

"I don't know whether it is true or not." Cao Miao said with a smile: "You can go and have a look."

"Me?" Cao Zhan widened his eyes. "Yunliang, I'll help you, why are you cheating me?"
