Chapter 317 Unequal Treaty

Mrs. Sun looked at Cao Miao, waved her hand lightly, and signaled them to take their seats.

Sun Luban really wanted to have a seat with Cao Miao, but looking at Mrs. Sun's face, she still sat obediently in the chief and faced with Cao Miao.

It was said that it was a celebration banquet, but there were actually no one. Apart from Cao Miao, Sun Luban, Lu Hong and Sun Qing, they were the two commanders who participated in the battle this time. These two commanders were also Madam Sun's maids. Not long ago, they were military marquis and had just been promoted to the commander. In addition to the strong momentum and the strongest force in this battle, they were the ones who participated in the battle, and they were the ones who were close to understanding the advantages and disadvantages of the new tactics and did not really take action.

After seeing the new tactics of Sun Xiu and others, they were quite shocked and their attitude towards Cao Miao also changed. They knew that if they wanted to stay in Jiefan Camp, it was imperative to learn the new tactics, and they would have to ask Cao Miao for advice. If Cao Miao married Sun Luban, they would be even more unaffected.

Seeing her subordinates' awe of Cao Miao from the bottom of their hearts, Mrs. Sun felt a little uncomfortable. In the past few days, she had already felt a subtle change in her subordinates' emotions, and the culprit was Cao Miao. Today, she specially asked the female guard to bring her big bow, but Cao Miao seemed to have no reaction.

However, Mrs. Sun quickly realized that Cao Miao was trying to calm down, and his eyes were constantly avoiding.

Shuzi, it turns out that you know you are afraid too? A hint of pleasure flashed through Mrs. Sun's heart.

After a few remarks, Mrs. Sun raised her glass to speak, thanking Cao Miao for her new tactics, and then asked Cao Miao for her advice, "Who do you think these bandits are?"

Cao Miao shook his head and said perfunctorily: "I dare not guess randomly in military and national affairs, so as not to interfere with my wife's judgment."

"It's okay, stones from other mountains can be polished with jade. Maybe there is a reference."

Cao Miao smacked his lips and said to him. Mrs. Sun was reluctant to give in and stared at Cao Miao. Although Sun Luban was mentally prepared, he was still uneasy about Mrs. Sun's aggressiveness, for fear that Cao Miao would turn against him again like last time and parted in disagreement.

Cao Miao was forced to do so and spread his hands and smiled bitterly. "Since the lady values ​​it so much, I will give it a try. Please provide some details."

Mrs. Sun was prepared, and waved her hand, Lu Hong stepped forward and handed over a document.

Cao Miao took it, spread the documents on the case, and quickly browsed them. The documents were sorted out and arranged in chronological order. From the discovery of unknown bandits near Fanshan five days ago to the Jiefan Zuoying and the Right Camp were dispatched one after another, but because of the ineffective mountain combat, they failed repeatedly. In the end, Mrs. Sun had to mobilize the troops in the middle of the army to reinforce.

Then, Lu Hong verbally explained the latest situation. Sun Luban led a new song to fight back the bandits head-on, and picked up the tiger step waist card on the spot, as well as the details of the bandits' equipment, training and tactics.

After hearing this, Cao Miao pondered for a moment. "Can you determine the authenticity of the Hubu Waist Card?"

"It's true." Mrs. Sun said.

"If the waist card is real and the tactics are similar, it can't be the Tiger Step Camp."

“Why?”

"Although the princess's recent military training has been effective, it is not enough to repel the Tiger Buying camp under the same force and similar tactics." Cao Miao's voice was not loud, but he was very confident and did not drag it out at all. "This is a trick."

Mrs. Sun smiled slightly. "If it weren't for the Hubuying Camp, who might be?"

"Do you know the approximate number of people?"

"I don't know very well, it may be dozens or hundreds."

"Are they dozens or hundreds?"

“Is there any difference?”

"There is a difference." Cao Miao emphasized his tone. "If there are only a few dozen people, it may be either foreign or local. If there are hundreds of people, the probability of being local people will be much greater. The reason is very simple. Wuchang is the capital of Wu and is very cautious. It is understandable that dozens of people are infiltrated. Hundreds of people are infiltrated, unless collusion between inside and outside, it is difficult to do it."

Mrs. Sun's eyes flashed slightly, she pondered for a moment, and then said, "I heard from the soldiers who were in the fight that the other general was a young man with natural divine power. In addition to being strong, this person is also good at boxing and kicking, very much like Cao Zun who once escorted Cao Jun to the south."

Cao Miao's face was calm and unmoved. "Is there any other evidence?"

“Not yet.”

Cao Miao slowly closed the document. "As far as the evidence is known, it is possible that I, the warrior of the Great Wei Dynasty, is not very likely. The person the wife mentioned is indeed very similar to Cao Zhuan, but just like the tiger step waist card, it is likely to be confusing the public and just to mislead the wife's judgment."

"I have a way, maybe I can judge the authenticity." Mrs. Sun said lightly: "It's just that I need the cooperation of Mr. Cao."

"Use me as bait to lure him into appearance?"

"Are Cao Jun willing to help?"

Cao Miao smiled. "Madam is destined, how dare I not obey? But has the wife ever thought about why the other party pretended to be Cao Zhan?"

“Why?”

"Maybe it is the hope that the lady will use me as bait so that she can swallow the bait and grab the hook, and even drag the fishing old man into the water?"

Mrs. Sun's eyes flashed slightly, and then said, "Then I can't ask for anything. He took my hook, so I changed the fishing net and caught all in one go."

Cao Miao bowed his hand. "I wish my wife a victory in the flag and a success."

"Did you agree?"

"If I don't agree, can I not go?" Cao Miao asked back. "If possible, then I refuse."

Mrs. Sun chuckled twice. "Then I would like to thank Mr. Cao for helping me. After the matter is completed, I will thank you very much." She raised her cup. "I have learned Cao Jun's fists and feet, and I just happened to experience Cao Jun's five military achievements. I believe I will be able to open my eyes."

Cao Miao raised his glass to return the gift with a smile, but he smiled reluctantly, full of helplessness to live under someone else's roof.

Sun Luban was stunned. She always thought that Mrs. Sun would change Cao Miao's place, but she never thought that Mrs. Sun suddenly changed her mind and asked Cao Miao to participate in the pursuit of the bandits. She tried her best to win at Mrs. Sun, but Mrs. Sun ignored her and raised her glasses frequently.

Sun Luban was filled with guilt and never dared to look at Cao Miao in the eyes again.

Mrs. Sun drank a few drinks, got up and left the table, and instructed Sun Luban to treat Cao Miao well. As soon as she left, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. The two lieutenants came forward to salute, first to toast Sun Luban, and then asked Sun Luban to introduce Cao Miao. They reported themselves, one was named Lu Qing, one was named Yu Ji, one was from Wujun, and the other was from Kuaiji.

Cao Miao was indifferent to the mood, so he barely responded a few times, then stood up to say goodbye.

Sun Luban was anxious and ordered Sun Xiu to send Cao Miao back and rushed to the inner room by himself. Mrs. Sun was sitting in the hall drinking tea. When she saw Sun Luban, she was not surprised at all, but was a little disappointed. Sun Luban, who was upset, didn't pay attention and asked.

"Aunt, what's going on?"

Mrs. Sun put down the teacup in her hand and let out a sigh of relief. "Your father is about to ascend the throne, and Wuchang is undercurrents, time is tight and the troops are insufficient. I have to take a risk. Dahu, I hope this Cao Miao can be used. In this way, you will have a good partner and I can do my best."
