Chapter 440 The Ruthless Truth
Jiang Wei did think of committing suicide by biting his tongue. But after hearing Cao Miao's words, he gave up.
Cao Miao was cruel and ruthless. If he angered him, he would only suffer more important humiliation. If he could really get rid of his tongue, it would be meaningless to bite his tongue and commit suicide.
Even if he wants to commit suicide, he has to wait until he leaves Cao Miao and not give him a chance to treat him.
"What do you want?" Jiang Wei stared at Cao Miao, his eyes emitting anger.
"Order your subordinates to surrender and hand over all the weapons. I can guarantee their safety." Cao Miao turned his head and looked outside the bamboo forest, and there were screams again. Perhaps more tiger infantrymen broke into the bamboo forest and tried to save Jiang Wei.
However, they were destined to be futile. After the formation, Cao Zun may not be Jiang Wei's opponent, and his subordinates are not as refined as the tiger infantry. In this kind of jungle battle, Cao Zun can completely abuse the tiger infantry, especially when Jiang Wei was captured and the tiger infantry was uncontrolled.
This is a special combat that he tailored for Cao Zong, which can bring Cao Zong's advantages to the limit.
Although there are many tiger infantry, they cannot cooperate and can only fight on their own. In terms of personal combat power, which tiger infantry is Cao Zhan's opponent?
Zhuge Liang was well-trained, and Wudang Feijun was known as the special forces of this era. Even so, tiger infantry was not a real special forces. Zhuge Liang's purpose of training tiger infantry was to be a dignified formation, not special operations. This small-scale battle was not the director of the tiger infantry.
After several more screams, the bamboo forest returned to peace again.
Jiang Wei's face gradually paled, and his eyes became a little dimmed. He understood what Cao Miao meant. If he continued, it would only make the tiger infantry sacrifice in vain, and the result would not change.
"I surrender." Jiang Wei said in a hoarse voice.
Cao Miao nodded and ordered Ah Hu to remove Jiang Wei's armor and weapons, and take him to see Cao Zhan.
Ahu carried Jiang Wei away. Cao Miao pulled out Jiang Wei's sword and waved it twice. The sword light was shining and cold. It was a good knife, which was even better than the magic sword in Ahu's hand, and the decoration was several times more exquisite, and it was not on the same level at all.
"You seemed to have something to say just now?" Cao Miao looked at Xiahou Hui.
Xiahou Hui was stunned for a moment, nodded subconsciously, but felt dry and unable to speak. She took the kettle from the maid, took two sips of water, moistened her throat. "I...I want to talk to you about Liaodong."
"Liaodong?" Cao Miao's eyes flashed slightly. "What does Liaodong have to do with me?"
"Did you not receive my letter?"
"Your letter?" Cao Miao was stunned for a moment, and realized something. "Are you saying that the letter sent by A Yan, did you write it?"
"Yes." Xiahou Hui nodded, and a trace of disappointment flashed inexplicably. Cao Miao didn't even realize that I wrote the letter?
"So, aren't you here to persuade me to return to Luoyang?"
"You can't go back to Luoyang."
Cao Miao laughed silently. "Tsk tsk, you couple are really a perfect match." He looked up at Xiahou Hui. "How can I believe you?"
Xiahou Hui was both ashamed and annoyed and embarrassed.
"I originally planned to go out to sea. The world is so big, why bother to compete with you for these small profits? You ran to Jiangdong people, and I hid in Hou Guan, but you still refused to give up. I really don't understand what you think. Cao family and Xiahou family have so many people, why do you have to go? Even if you take back the Great Wei Dynasty, what does it have to do with me? No matter how much the throne is, it will not be on my head, right?"
Cao Miao hugged his legs, shook his body gently, and looked at Xiahou Hui. "Give me a reason to go to Liaodong."
Xiahou Hui hesitated for a while. "What should you do if you go to sea, your father and brother?"
"Don't mention my father. I get angry when I mention him. He has known what's going on, but he never reveals a word to me."
Xiahou Hui was stunned. Cao Zhi knew the truth? To put it this way, it is not a guess, but a fact. But... Why did Cao Zhi know that the emperor was the blood of Yuan but did not stop him?
Xiahou Hui thought for a while and guessed the reason, and then she burst into cold sweat.
It was not that Cao Zhi did not stop him, but that he did it very secretly. It was not a coincidence that the emperor's descendants died one after another, but someone deliberately did it. It is hard to say whether Cao Zhi arranged it, but he must be aware of it.
That's why he devoted his duties to the court. Now Cao Zhi is in Guanzhong, living with the general Cao Zhen day and night. Cao Miao is in Jiangdong, fighting side by side with Cao Zhan, the son of the Grand Sima. It is true that Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu support Cao Pi, but they cannot support Yuan Xi's son as emperor. If these two royal generals are stabilized, even if the palace changes its owner, there will be no major turmoil.
Obviously, this matter was long under Cao Zhi's plan, but Cao Miao was unaware of it. He was just a chess piece in Cao Zhi's hand that could be sacrificed at any time.
How could Cao Miao, who knew the truth, work hard for this and go to Liaodong?
"Then is it fake that you promised to go back to Luoyang?" Xiahou Hui's face turned blue and white for a while. No wonder it was so smooth, it was originally a trap.
"You can't say that either." Cao Miao picked up Jiang Wei's slap (dagger), tried the blade, then took back the scabbard, and threw it over. Xiahou Hui subconsciously caught it. The slap was very delicate and light, with a slender blade, and a sharp blade. "Stay for yourself. There is still a dangerous way to go next, and Desi and I must have the energy to protect you."
"What dangerous road?"
"You should know who the prefect of Poyang is."
Xiahou Hui frowned slightly. She didn't know who the prefect of Poyang was. She could only hear Cao Miao's meaning. He would continue to return north. As for whether he could return to Luoyang, he dared not say that the battle had just begun and there was still a long way to go.
"It seems that you don't care much about Jiangdong." Cao Miao tilted his head and thought. "Does Sima Shi know?"
"Who is the prefect of Poyang? You are so afraid of it?"
"Zhou Bree." Cao Miao said: "Last year, Jiangdong ambushed the Grand Sima, and Zhou Bree was the executor of luring the enemy."
Xiahou Hui took a breath of air conditioning and felt desolate.
Cao Xiu was deceived, resulting in Shi Ting's defeat. He was so angry that he almost died. Cao Zuan went to Jiangdong by the son of Grand Sima and assassinated Lu Xun. Now that he has arrived in Poyang County, it is impossible not to consider assassinating another culprit, Zhou Feng. Compared to Sima Yi who was in the enemy and Lu Xun who defeated Cao Xiu head-on on the battlefield, Zhou Feng who deceived Cao Xiu deserves to be damned.
Similarly, Cao Zun's identity was exposed, and the people of Wu could not let him go. Mrs. Sun probably had notified Zhou Ju to intercept him. If Cao Zun had not taken the Xianxia Pavilion at that time, but had climbed over Wuyi Mountain, he might have faced Zhou Ju.
Where is Sima Shi? Sima Yi was once a general who participated in the operation. How could he not know Zhou Bree? Sima Shi was ordered to go on a mission to Jiangdong, so how could he not know that Zhou Bree was the prefect of Poyang, and how could he not know what dangers they would face when they returned north.
But Sima Shi never mentioned a word.
He hoped that I would die at the hands of the people of Wu like Cao Zhan and Cao Miao.
