Chapter 426: Inverse Scales

For Cao Miao, Sima Shi was just an open trouble, and what he really had to worry about was Zhuge Liang.

It is just a joke to spread rumors that Liu Chan is Zhuge Liang's seed. Not to mention that there is no chance to spread it, even if it really spreads, Zhuge Liang will not take it seriously. Rumors are there every year, how many people are really defeated by the rumors?

What's more, a strong man like Zhuge Liang.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang must have ulterior motives to give face like this. The biggest possibility is that Zhuge Liang received his hint.

Given the current situation of Wu, what is the use of horse armor? They did not have enough war horses to serve as armored cavalry. There is only one possibility to use horse armor: to go to Liaodong, and occupy Liaodong.

The Wu Kingdom used troops to Liaodong, which could not only cause trouble for Wei Kingdom, but also reduce the threat to Shu Han. Why not do it?

The Three Kingdoms are separated, and Wei is the strongest. If we can cause some trouble for Wei, even if we have to pay the price of 500 sets of armies, even if it is possible to develop a strong opponent, Zhuge Liang will give it a try.

Because he has too few choices. He is very careful in calculating and even harms long-term interests, which is his undeniable choice.

If you cannot cover artillery fire, you can only pursue interlude and detour, tap potential to maximize your ability and exert your initiative.

This is why he specially proposed to ask for horse armor.

Zhuge Liang took the bait, but he had to prevent Zhuge Liang from leveraging his strength to push it, and even turned his back on the spot.

When Sun Quan bet on the country's fate, he fought hard, and Zhou Yu fought hard for more than a year before he took Jiangling, but in the end he was cheaper. Who would believe that there was no contribution from Zhuge Liang to plan?

Whether Zhuge Liang plays conspiracy or not is a peerless master.

Cao Miao talked about the past with Mrs. Sun intentionally or unintentionally.

Mrs. Sun knew that Sun Quan had decided to face Cao Cao at the beginning, and that she knew that the twists and turns of taking Jingzhou and seizing Jingzhou later, coupled with the humiliation brought by the interception of Hengjiang, had always had a bad impression of the monarch and ministers of Shu Han. Without further ado, Cao Miao said, she became suspicious of Zhuge Liang's cooperation.

"What conspiracies may be?" Mrs. Sun asked someone to take water to wash her hands after eating the pear. The pear is really sweet, and the juice is sticky to her hands.

"It's not a conspiracy? It's an open conspiracy." Cao Miao said.

"Only conspiracy?"

Cao Miao nodded. "Liaodong is not that easy to fight. Originally, the King of Wu might not have high hopes, as long as he can get back, it will be done. But now with 500 sets of armies, the King of Wu will inevitably be ambitious. For the Kingdom of Wu? Liaodong, which produces good horses, is too tempting. Once the King of Wu has this idea, Zhuge Liang may take advantage of the situation and promote the fire until the Kingdom of Wu is deeply trapped and cannot escape from Liaodong."

Mrs. Sun thought about it carefully. "Are you right? This is very consistent with Zhuge Liang's style of conduct. What should we do?"

"There are two choices: one is to let us take a fancy move? The goal is to only rob people. After robbing people, send them back to Jiangdong, and we will be free overseas? From now on, we will not ask about the right and wrong of the Central Plains."

"What else?"

"Please use the strategy? Buy more weapons from Shu Han? Seize Liaodong. By then, relying on Jiangdong? Based in Liaodong, you may not be able to build some achievements."

Mrs. Sun raised her eyebrows slightly? She seemed to be smiling. "Are you sure?"

"I have a killer move that they don't know. Everyone knows the strength on the surface. Only the strength hidden in the dark can determine the key to victory or defeat. No matter how smart Zhuge Liang is, can he know how many secrets there are in my mind?"

"It's like you're capable." Mrs. Sun curled her lips and couldn't help laughing.

"There is something I want you to help."

"What's up?"

"Is the envoy from Luoyang sent me? I might be summoned back."

Mrs. Sun was slightly stunned? Turning to look out the window at the long street? Cao Zhuan, who sold pears, was gone. She looked back at Cao Miao.

"That person..."

Cao Miao interrupted her in time. "We have an appointment first."

Mrs. Sun smacked her lips? She was a little unwilling to accept it. She sat here, observing Cao Miao, and secretly sent someone. She saw the man selling pears? But she never expected that Cao Miao would join forces with his subordinates here and missed a good opportunity in vain.

"you say."

"I don't want to go back, you kill that messenger."

"If there is no official identity, I can help." Mrs. Sun smiled. "But you are unwilling to do it yourself, and I think the other party has an official identity."

Cao Miao nodded. "So you can't help?"

"You can help you, but it's a little more troublesome. If the handling is not done completely and causes the two countries to fight, I can't explain it to the Supreme, and it will be more than worth the loss." Mrs. Sun raised her eyebrows. "You're right?"

Cao Miao raised his hand and pointed at Mrs. Sun, grinning. "Okay, when I didn't say anything, I'll find a way to solve it myself. At worst, I'll cut off my own way of retreat and can't go back to Luoyang in the future. Anyway, I don't plan to go back. When the new ship is built, if you don't want to go to sea with me, just give me a sea boat, and it's okay to sell it..."

Mrs. Sun leaned over, reached out to cover Cao Miao's mouth, and said angrily: "You are not allowed to say that. I will do it for you. Who is the messenger, how many followers are there, which way to go, and when will it be?"

"The rest are not clear yet, I only know that the commander is Sima Shi."

"Who is Sima Shi?"

"Sima Yi's eldest son." Cao Miao explained a little. "But you have to be careful not to hurt Xiahou Hui, who is Sima Shi's wife. She is my relative, well, very close."

"I understand." Mrs. Sun thought for a while, and then said, "This Xiahou Hui...is just your relative?"

Cao Miao grinned. "It's still my good friend, do you believe it?"

Mrs. Sun glanced at Cao Miao, tilted the corner of her mouth, and snorted. "It would be strange if you believe in you."

Cao Miao laughed and turned to look out the window. "Be careful, Sima Shi has a lot of knowledge, is full of tricks, and has a very cunning life. However, compared with Xiahou Hui, saying that he is a pig is always a polite person. You just need to ensure Xiahou Hui's safety, don't listen to anything else, and it's best not to tell her anything, so as not to be deceived by her and be confused."

"So amazing? Have you been deceived by her?"

"Yes, in Luoyang, Cao Zhan and I conspired to kill Sima Master and his son and eliminate the harm to the court. It was Xiahou Hui who persuaded me to marry Sima Master's sister Sima Guo as his wife, which finally made me in a dilemma. I guess that this time she came here, she wanted to know her feelings and move her reason. In short, she tried every means to lure me back to Luoyang so that her good husband Sima Master would make meritorious."

As Cao Miao complained, Mrs. Sun's brows gradually frowned, and murderous aura gathered between her eyebrows.

Cao Miao reminded again. "I will remind you again, you can't kill her."

"Don't worry, I won't kill her." Mrs. Sun sneered: "But as long as she steps on the land of Jiangdong, she won't think of going back. Don't do to others what she doesn't want to do to others. Don't understand such a simple truth? Since she forced you with marriage, I will use her own way to treat her and let her marry someone she doesn't want to marry."

Cao Miao was right in his mind.

With Mrs. Sun's words, this matter was done.

Who made her hate arranged marriages the most?
