"It is necessary to be cautious in a place of suspicion." Cao Miao said lightly, paused, and said, "I have a deep understanding of this."

Tian Fu subconsciously glanced at Cao Miao. Cao Miao squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the willow trees on both sides of the shore, with a little lonely expression. Tian Fu thought for a moment and couldn't help but sigh.

Although Cao Miao and his son were royal families, they were actually suspicious, just like their father and son, and they had to be careful in their words and actions to avoid causing disasters.

Unconsciously, Tian Fu became more intimate and took the initiative to introduce the situation in Runan.

Not long after Tian Yu arrived in Runan, his main energy was to reorganize the military and stabilize the situation. He had no time to care about other things and had limited knowledge. Cao Miao did not ask specifically, and he just listened to what Tian Fu said.

Overall, the situation in Runan - even the entire Yuzhou - was not optimistic. Cao Xiu's crushing defeat not only caused a large number of casualties, but also caused an amazing consumption of materials, and it was almost impossible to regain its momentum in a short period of time.

"Compared with Yiyang, Runan is better." Tian Fu felt that he had said too much and forced the topic back. "After passing the Huai River, it was the realm of Outuo. Except for scouts from both sides and doing it in detail, there was almost no place for the people to stay. Before leaving, the township master should prepare more."

Cao Miao nodded and expressed his gratitude.

Outuo is a buffer zone. Since the Cao Cao era, several attacks on Wu failed to achieve success. Most of the Jiujiang along the river, Lujiang was in the hands of the Eastern Wu. The Wei army had to take the initiative to retreat to the Huai River line, with Hefei as the front line. The Wei army could not cross the river, and the Wu army could not capture Hefei. The two sides confronted each other for a long time in this area, and there was a buffer zone between the Jianghuai River and was sparsely populated.

Jia Kui wrote a memorial to the court for this purpose, building a straight road, traveling south from Yiyang, passing through the Dabie Mountains, and heading straight to Wuchang. The suggestion was very good, and the road was repaired, but Jia Kui had no chance to use it. With the current situation of the Wei State, we must also prevent the Wu army from using this straight road to raid Runan.

This is the straight road that Cao Miao wants to walk.

Hundreds of miles of mountain road, deserted and uninhabited, you may be ambushed by the other party at any time, and the danger can be imagined.

"Brother Tian, ​​are you familiar with the deployment of the Wu army?" Cao Miao asked: "Who is responsible for military spy?"

"Sun Quan is still in Wuchang. The Jiefan soldiers stationed in Wuchang. Jiefan soldiers were divided into two parts, commanded by Hu Zong and Xu Xiang. It is said that Hu Zong is from Runan, and he is responsible for it. However, these are all speculations and there is no definite evidence. I heard that someone talked about a piece of news, but I don't know whether it is true or not. The township master might as well listen to it."

"Oh, what news?"

"Do you know Mrs. Sun? She is the one who once married Liu Xuande."

Cao Miao nodded repeatedly. "I know, I know."

"She is also in Wuchang, and her whereabouts are mysterious. No one knows what she is doing in Wuchang. A scout has seen several female spies on the battlefield. She is good at skill, well-equipped, and outstanding in appearance, especially her superior attitude, which looks very much like a maid next to her."

Cao Miao pondered for a moment. "Has anyone seen these female spies with their own eyes? I want to know more about the situation."

Tian Fu scratched his head, a little embarrassed. He huddled for a long time and said that he was not familiar with the situation and had to go to the army to inquire. Cao Miao did not ask too much. The father and son of Tian were just here, and it was hard to say whether the soldiers under Jia Kui listened to their orders. It was not that easy to find someone.

Because he was preparing for a new drama in his previous life, he was very concerned about the legendary Bowwaist Ji. In that script, Mrs. Sun is the person in charge of Sun Wu's secret front. Of course, this is fiction and has no historical material support, but the possibility exists.

Mrs. Sun played an important role in the Sun-Liu alliance. Sun Quan turned against Liu Bei, but after Mrs. Sun returned to Jiangdong, there was no record. Without records, it does not mean that she did not exist. She is not an ordinary woman who can take care of her husband and children with peace of mind. On the contrary, she has good martial arts skills and is Sun Quan's own sister. She is loyal and will not threaten Sun Quan. It is most appropriate to engage in confidential affairs.

This type of person is usually not recorded in history, but its importance is self-evident. When he knew that Cao Rui intended to let him go between Jiangdong, he began to collect relevant information and formulate plans. This included information related to Mrs. Sun, but his gains were limited.

Unexpectedly, he got a clue when chatting with Tian Fu, so he naturally refused to let it go. He thought that Hotan Fu would be trapped and inquire as much as possible for information.

"Have you seen him?" Seeing that Tian Fu was looking at Ah Hu, Cao Miao smiled.

Tian Fu blinked. "I haven't seen it before." After thinking about it, he said again: "I heard from Miaoqin."

"What do you say about Miaoqin?" Cao Miao looked at Tian Fu with a smile. Tian Fu was lying. He looked at Ah Hu intentionally or unintentionally since he got on the boat, but Ah Hu ignored him. Now he mentioned Shi Caiying again, there must be articles here.

Shi Caiying rushed to Runan to prepare on his order. It was a completely private task. Why did he reveal his identity to Tian Yu and his son? This is unreasonable. Considering that Tian Yu has been fighting against the Xianbei people in northern Xinjiang for many years, and Ah Hu is suspected of having Xianbei blood, Cao Miao had to consider that Shi Caiying and Tian Yu had known each other for a long time, which was related to Ah Hu's life experience.

"Miaoqin said Ah Hu is a master." Tian Fu avoided Cao Miao's eyes and his smile was not very natural. "I am so martial, I want to talk to him."

"Did Miaoqin say that I teach his martial arts?" Cao Miao said with a smile.

Tian Fu was stunned for a moment. "I haven't heard of this."

"If you are interested, I can compete with you." Cao Miao rolled up his sleeves and moved his body.

Tian Fu turned around and looked at Cao Miao, looking frightened. "No, no, no, how dare I fight with the village master? Besides, this boat... is not convenient."

"It's okay." Cao Miao stretched out his hand through the window and gently placed it on Tian Fu's left shoulder. "If you can break free from my hand, I will lose. I will be willing to Ah Hu to compete with you, and I can even give him to you."

Tian Fu's eyes shrank slightly, his expression became solemn, and he stared at Cao Miao for a long time. "You are serious about this?"

"Of course." Cao Miao smiled brightly. "If Brother Tian loses, he has to do me a favor."

“What’s the busy thing?”

"I have found someone who has seen a female spy in Wu. I want to ask him some questions."

Tian Fu tilted his mouth and smiled. "If the hometown master wins, why don't I just send a female spy from Wu to the hometown master. The hometown master asks slowly, how?"

Cao Miao's eyes flashed slightly and he laughed silently. "Brother Tian wants to make a deal with me, why not speak frankly? It's not easy enough to go around such a big circle."

Tian Fu smiled but said nothing.

Cao Miao frowned slightly and said, "If you fall into the water, I will win, or you will win?"

"Of course, the township master won." Tian Fu said arrogantly. Although he was not good at boating and the space on the boat was not large, Cao Miao people were in the cabin and his hand was close to the limit. He could break free from Cao Miao's hand without using force. Naturally, it was impossible for him to fall into the water because of excessive force.

"A gentleman's words?"

"It's hard to chase after all," Tian Furan said with high apology.

Before he finished speaking, Cao Miao's arm shrank slightly and then stretched out.

"Bang!" Tian Fu took two steps back as if he was hit by a war horse, stepped on the air, waved his arms a few times in vain, and fell into the water as if he was hit by a war horse.
