Xiahou Hui burst into tears.

Cao Zhan scratched his head awkwardly. He was not afraid of fighting to the death, but he was afraid of such a scene of separation and death. Although he hated Sima Shi, he couldn't hate him at this moment, and even felt a little ashamed. The reason why Sima Shi was willing to die was due to him.

Cao Miao applauded again and gave him enthusiastic praise, but it aroused the contempt of Sima Shi and the hostility of Xiahou Hui. Even Cao Zhan felt that it was not appropriate for him to do this. It was a bit like putting in the wrong place, and it was not done by a hero.

The school officials on the side were also a little disdainful and turned their heads one after another, and some even spit quietly.

Cao Miao remained indifferent.

After repeated instructions, Sima Shi set off again and rushed to Hou Guan.

At Xiahou Hui's strong request, Cao Zhan arranged half of his soldiers to accompany him to protect Sima Shi. Sima Shi also arranged several school officials to escort Cao Miao. The head of the school official was Shen Biao, a native of Wei County, and had some friendship with Han Dong.

Cao Zhan and Shen Biao brought Cao Miao back to Jianping. Before the Wu people blocked the post road, they had to make corresponding preparations, especially dry food. Once the Wu people ordered the post stations along the route, it would be difficult for them to obtain supplies. The mountains were sparsely populated and wanted to rely on robbery all the way to support the battle, except for the whereabouts being exposed.

Of course, Cao Miao didn't need to do such a thing, and Xiahou Hui didn't need to do it. Cao Zhuan would arrange it himself. He had been very familiar with these operations and was able to do it easily for several months.

Of course, Cao Miao and Xiahou Hui had no communication, and treated each other tacitly as if nothing had happened.

The two female guards of Jiefang camp who came with Cao Miao were very anxious and wanted to escape back to report the news several times, but Shen Biao and others were very careful and did not give them any chance. Cao Miao came forward to comfort them again, promising to ensure their safety and let them go before crossing the river, so they could barely calm down.

After spending a day preparing, Cao Zhan hurriedly embarked on his way back.

——

Sun Luban put down the letter in his hand and looked puzzled. "Is this really what Yunliang left?"

Lu Hong nodded solemnly. The letter was handed to her by Cao Miao, and she didn't know what it was written in it. But Cao Miao never returned, which made her very uneasy. As soon as Sun Luban arrived, she reported to Sun Luban.

"What did Mr. Cao say?"

"The Emperor of Wei sent someone to summon him back to Luoyang. He had no other choice, and he didn't want us to meet Cao Zhuan? He could only try to convince the envoy." Sun Luban's face was gloomy and his eyes were filled with murderous aura. "If it really doesn't work, I have to go back with them."

"Cao Zhuan?" Lu Hong was shocked? His face changed and changed. He secretly regretted it. If she knew that Cao Zhuan was in the ranks of envoys of Wei State, she would never let Cao Miao go alone. Cao Zhuan's elite troops, the southern commander stationed in Jian'an, might not be able to control him.

Sun Luban nodded. She was also surprised. No wonder Wuchang was very quiet recently. It turned out that Cao Zuan was in the ranks of envoys in Wei State.

Cao Zhuan is the son of Cao Xiu? He is also the culprit of the recent rampant bandits in Wuchang? He also assassinated Lu Xun. In any case, she had no reason to let Cao Zhuan go. What's more, he wanted to take Cao Miao away.

Cao Miao was worried that she would have a conflict with Cao Zhan and was unable to match her strength? But she really wanted to fight with Cao Zhan. The more worried Cao Miao was, the stronger her fighting spirit was. She must prove to Cao Miao that her achievements in the past few months were not luck, but by her strength.

She has enough strength to protect Cao Miao.

Despite this, she was not careless. After careful consideration, she asked Lu Hong to inform Mrs. Sun, send a letter to Kuaiji, Wujun, and Yuzhang to block the relevant roads and prepare for interception.

Cao Zhuan and others went deep into the hinterland of Kuaiji, but there were no ten days or half a month? They could not escape Kuaiji.

Chasing thousands of miles? Is it another mountain war that she has mastered recently? She is full of confidence.

After discussing with Lu Hong, Sun Luban sent someone to invite Jiang Wei. Don’t you want to see Cao Miao? Cao Miao was kidnapped by the Wei people. I am going to save people now. As an ally? Are you interested in helping boxing?

Jiang Wei rushed to Hou Guan from thousands of miles away, just to see Cao Miao. He heard that Cao Miao was robbed by Wei and Sun Luban wanted to save people, so he agreed without thinking too much. He had the opportunity to fight with the elite of Wei and at the same time to see the strength of Wu Jiefan's army. He couldn't ask for it.

When Jiang Wei learned that Cao Zhan had limited troops and only about a hundred men, he asked to take the lead and rush to cut off Cao Zhan's retreat.

Jiang Wei did this with his own selfish intentions.

He walked along the way, the same experience as Cao Zhuan, and could probably guess what kind of retreat route Cao Zhuan would choose, figure out Cao Zhuan's habits, and accumulate experience for future battles with the Wei Kingdom. In addition, he could also obtain maps of nearby counties and understand the detailed terrain.

There are not many opportunities like this.

Sun Luban agreed, gave Jiang Wei a map of the counties near him, and arranged several guides familiar with the terrain. If Jiang Wei failed to intercept Cao Zun in these counties, there would be no need to worry and leave it to her to solve it herself.

In other words, this is the scope of testing Jiang Wei. Within this scope, Jiang Wei can get the necessary support and supplies. After this scope, Jiang Wei cannot act at will.

Jiang Wei did not dare to neglect her. After discussing the contact method, he immediately set off to pursue him.

Jiang Wei passed by Sima Shi.

Jiang Wei knew that Sima Shi was the envoy of Wei, but Sima Shi did not know that Jiang Wei was the envoy of Shu Han that he had been following. Seeing more than a hundred elite soldiers heading north, he instinctively realized that these people might be pursuing Cao Zuan and his entourage.

Although he wished that Cao Miao and Cao Zhan would die, he would speed up. After arriving in Nanping, he asked Sun Luban to see him as soon as possible.

Sun Luban was very straightforward and did not give Sima Shi a chance to speak. He directly ordered someone to tie him up and took him to chase Cao Zhan together.

Sima Master was mentally prepared enough, calm and elegant.

Lu Hong and others secretly praised him and unconsciously compared Sima Shi with Cao Miao. Judging from their appearance, Sima Shi can undoubtedly crush Cao Miao. In terms of temperament, Sima Shi is obviously better, even if Cao Miao is a member of the Cao Wei royal family.

Sun Luban scoffed at Lu Hong and others' opinions. What's the use of good-lookingness? What's the use of temperament? Sima Shi is one of the four Congs of Wei. Don't forget that Sicong and Sancong were beaten by Cao Miao. In front of Cao Miao, Sicong is nothing.

Lu Hong and others expressed their understanding of Sun Luban's remarks, but accepted incompetence.

Of course, they were not so stupid that they would debate with Sun Luban.

Sun Luban walked up against the current with Sima Shi.

When she arrived in Jian'an, she received a message from Jiang Wei. Cao Zun and his party left the official road and entered the border mountains between Kuaiji and Yuzhang. He had sent people to occupy Xianxia Ridge at the junction of Pingchang and Dingyang counties, but Cao Zun could cross Wuyi Mountain and enter Shangrao County in Poyang County. He had no authorization and could not contact Shangrao County, and needed Sun Luban's order.
