Cao Zun squatted on a big stone, holding a helmet in one hand and scratching his head in the other.

I haven't washed my hair for a few days and my scalp is very itchy. But compared to a headache, this is nothing.

Wu's army reacted quickly, and Jiang Wei came faster. He drove straight from the official road, arrived in front of him at Hanxing County (now Pucheng), and occupied the road northward. He now had only one choice, cross Wuyi Mountain and enter Poyang County.

But he was not familiar with the terrain of this area. He might get lost when he entered the mountain rashly, or starve to death in the mountains because of the supply cut off.

He was in trouble so quickly, which he had never thought of before, and he had to be treated with caution. After thinking about it, he decided to discuss it with Cao Miao, although he felt that Cao Miao might not be willing to help him.

For Cao Miao, staying in Wu is obviously better than returning to Luoyang.

After a while, Cao Miao came over, looked at Cao Zhan's face, and grinned.

"In trouble?"

Cao Zun did not hide it and nodded vigorously. "Jiang Wei caught up with him and broke the official road. Now the plan seems to be the only way to enter the mountain. But the mountain road is not familiar, and if you get lost, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Jiang Wei?" Cao Miao was also surprised. "So fast?"

"Yes, I'm a little careless. Or are you right, those Yizhou barbarians are more adaptable to the terrain here than we do."

"Maybe it's not just the terrain." Cao Miao laughed twice. "Jiang Wei took action so quickly. He probably didn't delay any time on the road. He traveled day and night, penetrated Wu Xing, closed the door and beat the dog..."

"Yunliang, who is the dog?" Cao Zhan felt a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, close the door and fight the tiger." Cao Miao patted Cao Zhan on the shoulder to show comfort. "Have you ever thought that even if you didn't get lost in the mountains and cross the mountains, there might be Wu Jun waiting for you?"

Cao Zun nodded. He had already considered this issue. The Wu army passed messages along the official road faster and had enough time to mobilize troops. When he got out of the mountains, he might rush into the Wu army's ambush circle.

Unless he never walks on the official road and keeps walking on the mountain road.

This is obviously unrealistic.

"You mean hard rush?"

"I just think Jiang Wei has only so many people. He can't block all the mountain roads and can only focus on protection. Even if he divides his troops into two places, his military strength will be gone. If you have the power to fight, why should you escape by escaping? As for those county soldiers in Wu County, they shouldn't be able to stop you."

Cao Zhuan thought for a while, his eyes gradually lit up. "Yunliang, you made sense, just do it."

"How do you know that it wasn't him who deliberately lured you into the vain?" Xiahou Hui's voice came from behind. Cao Miao turned around and saw Xiahou Hui standing next to a tree not far away. He probably stood for a while, but he didn't make any noise, so he was not discovered.

Cao Miao smiled silently, got up and left. Cao Zhan wanted to call him, but Cao Miao looked at Xiahou Hui, smiling.

"Didn't you hear it? All this may have been planned by me. If you listen to my opinion, aren't you afraid of being taken into the ditch?"

Before Cao Zhan could speak, Xiahou Hui also stared at Cao Miao and sneered: "Then Jiang Wei came so quickly, I'm afraid he started chasing him before we even started from Jianping. Do you dare to say that this was not what you arranged in advance?"

Cao Zhan's eyes flashed and he didn't say a word. He actually had similar concerns, but he just didn't have the nerve to say it.

Cao Miao laughed. "You look down on me so much. How can I have the ability to predict the future? Prepare. Of course I have some. For example, if I want to escape now, can you stop me?"

Xiahou Hui was so angry that she was itchy and her momentum was severely frustrated. If she really annoyed Cao Miao and Cao Miao refused to go back, she would have no choice.

"If you want to say an accident, your husband Sima Shi's reaction was a big surprise." Cao Miao carried his hands behind his back and turned around Xiahou Hui twice. "How about we make a bet?"

"What are you betting on?"

"If there is only one person living between you and him, he will choose himself without hesitation. If necessary, he will even sacrifice you."

"Do you say this make sense?" Xiahou Hui sneered.

"It's meaningless, I just think you're ridiculous." He looked back at Cao Zhan and raised the corners of his mouth. "Desi is honest and can't see Sima Shi's little thoughts, and you can't see them either? Look at your touching and tearful eyes, who are you lying?"

After saying that, before Xiahou Hui could speak, Cao Miao laughed loudly and left.

Xiahou Hui's face was pale, his lips tightly pursed, and said nothing.

As Cao Miao said, how could he not see Sima Shi's thoughts as smart as her? Sima Shi seemed dangerous to meet Sun Luban, but in fact it was not. Sun Luban had no reason to kill him. On the contrary, letting her follow Cao Zun, Cao Miao retreated seemed safe, but in fact it was extremely dangerous. Once in a battle, she would be injured at any time and could die in battle at any time.

Not to mention anything else, she suffered a lot after a few days of rushing marches.

This hasn't really entered the mountain. If you really want to enter Wuyi Mountain, no one can guarantee whether you can come out alive.

Sima Shi had already expected this, so he could take her to Hou Guan, but he kept her with Cao Zun's reasons. He was so determined and so happy, without a trace of hesitation, and could hardly wait.

Sima Shi may not be smarter than her, but she is more determined than her.

"Yuanrong, Ziyuan really thinks so?" Cao Zhan was frightened when he heard Cao Miao's words. Although he hated Sima Shi, he never thought that Sima Shi would be so heartless. Sima Yi was shameless enough to cheat Cao Xiu. If Sima Shi did this, he would be even more shameless than Sima Yi.

"Did you care about the wrong point?" Xiahou Hui said angrily: "It's not appropriate to do everything, so you should decide which road to go quickly. The longer the delay, the more pursuers. When Princess Sun leads her troops to catch up, you really can't get away."

Cao Zhan woke up from his dream and nodded repeatedly. "Yuanrong, I think Yunliang's words are reasonable. Instead of crossing mountains and rivers, it is better to face Jiang Wei head-on. As long as he can induce him to divide his troops, we will have the power to fight."

Xiahou Hui thought about it and agreed with Cao Zhuan's judgment. The two evils were the least. Compared with the unpreparedness and entering a strange mountain, it is obviously more certain to forcefully break through Jiang Wei's blockade.

"You are a general of the army now, so you must have your own opinions, but you cannot be led by others by your nose when referring to other people's suggestions."

Cao Zhuan nodded and agreed, watching Xiahou Hui turn around and leave. After walking on the mountain road for a few days, Xiahou Hui showed signs of fatigue. She had been spoiled since childhood and suffered such pain, but he did not hear Xiahou Hui complain. Compared to Xiahou Xuan, she was stronger.

Cao Zuan immediately called his subordinates and ordered them to prepare and break through Jiang Wei's defense line.

In the evening, they set off again, returned to the official road, and began to march quickly.
