In the subconscious of the monarch and ministers in Jiangdong, there is an self-evident consensus: to rule by digging the river.

Taking the Yangtze River as the natural barrier, we take it south of the Yangtze River to confront the Central Plains. We can take advantage of the opportunity, and we can attack the Central Plains in the north and unify the world. We can take advantage of the opportunity, and we can seize the opportunity of the Yangtze River and be self-sufficient.

Therefore, Yizhou, which occupies the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, has always been more attractive than Yuzhou and Xuzhou, which are close to you.

Since the era of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, attacking upstream and seizing Jingyi is the consensus of the monarch and ministers.

However, in the Battle of Chibi, which bet on the national destiny, the Eastern Wu paid a heavy price, but Liu Bei took advantage. Yizhou fell into Liu Bei's hands and Jingzhou was borrowed most of it. If Liu Bei was grateful for his lord and ministers, he might be able to accept it, but Liu Bei was rogue first and Guan Yu was arrogant later, which really made people unable to believe that the alliance could last for a long time and had to take another risk.

The sneak attack on Jingzhou finally regained control of Jingzhou, while the threat from Yizhou could not be lifted in the short term.

Lu Xun, who had the strongest combat effectiveness, was arranged in Xiling, which was the final result of the strategic trade-offs of Wu. Compared with the Wei State, which failed to cross the river several times, the Shu Han occupied the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Even if Zhuge Liang devoted his efforts to the northern expedition, Sun Quan was not at ease.

Looking back at Zhuge Liang's suggestion back then, the conspiracy is even more meaningful.

It can even be said that there may be unknown content in Longzhong. After all, Cao Miao also obtained indirectly and may not be accurate and comprehensive.

I have been deceived for more than ten years, and this feels very bad. Mrs. Sun's face looks ugly.

"hateful!"

Cao Miao didn't say anything. When the food and drinks came up, he poured the wine and handed a glass to Mrs. Sun. "I have an idea. Are you interested in listening?"

Mrs. Sun raised her eyelids, glanced at Cao Miao, and said nothing.

"Building ships and training troops all take time. It's also idle, so it's better to do something."

"What's going on?"

"That depends on whether you want to do big things or small things."

Mrs. Sun was a little impatient. "Don't keep it aside, let's hear it."

"If you want to do something big, kill Zhuge Liang. The premise is that you are sure to deal with the monarch and ministers of Shu Han and turn Shu Han into a vassal of Wu."

Mrs. Sun thought for a while and asked, "What about the small thing?"

"Send someone to spread some rumors? Just like the previous rumors. What can't you do to him? But it's okay to cause some trouble for Zhuge Liang."

"What rumor?"

"You said, would Liu Chan be Zhuge Liang's species? From the perspective of time..."

"Puff--" Mrs. Sun couldn't help it? She sprayed all the wine. She blushed her face. While taking out her handkerchief to wipe her mouth, she glanced at Cao Miao. "The supreme rumor was spread by you, right? You are quite skilled? Learn from one example and apply it to other things."

Cao Miao wiped the wine on his face and was helpless. "Given it through it, I accepted it. Do you think I was the one who made the rumor of King Wu? Is it a bit unfair? I am the one who refuted the rumors for him."

Mrs. Sun shook her hand and pondered, "You can't say it, this is really a solution. Zhuge Liang entered the curtain in the seventh year of Jian'an, and Liu Chan was born in the eighth year of Jian'an? The time was just right. Liu Bei was forty-seven or eight at that time? Although there were several wives, there was not a single child, so he had to accept Liu Feng as his adopted son. Who would have thought that Mrs. Gan would soon become pregnant and gave birth to Liu Chan a year later."

Cao Miao pulled the handkerchief from Mrs. Sun's hand? Wiped the wine from her face. Mrs. Sun gave him a blank look, but said nothing.

"I have an idea? Do you need it?" Cao Miao took a sip of wine. "Actually, according to my opinion, it is more direct to assassinating him. Now Shu Han is relying on him to suppress him? If someone changes, there will be internal strife."

Cao Miao exclaimed, and said, "You said before Liu Bei died, entrusting Liu Chan to him? Have you known the truth long ago?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Liu Bei is not the only son of Liu Chan, let alone Liu Chan is not the smartest one." Mrs. Sun said, not sure. Why did the more she listened, the more she felt that what Cao Miao said was possible?

If Liu Chan is not Zhuge Liang's descendant, why didn't Zhuge Liang recommend Liu Bei to choose other sons as his heirs? He also tried his best to teach Liu Chan.

He is not the kind of Confucian scholar who insists on his eldest son.

"Which one do you choose? If you want to play big, you can leave the assassination to me." Cao Miao patted his chest and said, "I am good at this."

"Wait for me to think about it." Mrs. Sun waved her hand. "This matter is not so easy. There are too many things to do, and it is impossible to be rushed."

Cao Miao nodded. "Maybe it would be better to do this plan after you occupy Liaodong. At that time, the main force of the Wei army will go north and Jiangdong will have the strength to advance westward."

Mrs. Sun had a slight head. She also felt that Cao Miao's statement was more stable, not as simple as a joke. If it could be operated properly, it would be possible to take the opportunity to capture Yizhou and take it all south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, the actions required here are also very complicated. The first point is to prevent the monarch and ministers of Shu Han from falling in a hurry to the Wei Dynasty.

Compared with the blood feud of Wu and Shu, the monarchs and ministers of Shu Han were more likely to accept the Central Plains regime.

Mrs. Sun kept this matter in her heart and told Cao Miao other gossip.

After a while, the private room next to me sounded softly, and someone opened the door and walked out.

Cao Miao was very satisfied. From beginning to end, Han Long didn't say a word. It shouldn't be difficult to deceive the female guards outside the door. As for whether he would pass on the plan to Cao Zhi and whether Cao Zhi would arrange to implement it, that's their business.

For him, he is idle anyway. Why not do it if he can cause some trouble for Zhuge Liang?

How can you get the equipment of those five hundred people if you don’t give Zhuge Liang a headache?

——

Cao Rui received an emergency military newspaper from Yangzhou.

When he first received the military newspaper, he was still a little nervous, thinking that Sun Quan had done something else. After reading the contents of the military newspaper, he realized that it was not Sun Quan who might have attacked, but Cao Miao came to collect the debt.

Cao Miao asked Cao Xiu for the remaining 300 million yuan and delivered it within a specified period of time.

Cao Rui's breath was cold.

Cao Xiu was incompetent. Such a thing also requires emergency military reports to ask for instructions? The money is in your hands. If you want to give it, you will give it. If you don’t want to give it, you won’t give it. What can Cao Miao do to you?

Second Qi Cao Miao was too much. He had already given 700 million yuan, but he didn't see what you spent money. Why are you still greedy? You have achieved your expected goal, but you caused more trouble than you solved. It would be good if you didn't punish you, and you still need money?

But if you think about it carefully, Cao Rui was helpless. He could even understand Cao Xiu's helplessness.

Cao Miao has lost control. He is far away in Jiangdong, and the court has no choice but to reason. He has too many reasons to doubt Cao Rui's identity. To be honest, Cao Rui can't find anyone to solve him now. Cao Hui, the strongest Cao, was not sure of winning against Cao Miao. Instead, it may be destroyed in Cao Miao's hands and sacrificed the seed of this famous general in vain.

Not to ask whether Cao Rui is willing to give up, Cao Xiu will definitely not give up. If Cao Zhuan is in danger because of a mere 300 million yuan, Cao Xiu will regret it for the rest of his life.

Will Cao Miao be so crazy? Just look at Yin Fan’s fate.

With the inspiration in front of him, no one dared to doubt Cao Miao's madness and tried the method with his own eyes.
