Zhou Rui soon found that he was fooled and conquering a task within a time limit was almost impossible.

Although Cao Zun led a few Wei soldiers, they were all elite. With the cooperation of Shanyue, they were elusive and could always appear in unexpected places, and catch the Wu army off guard. Although there were not many people killed each time, they caused great damage to morale.

Cao Zhan himself is a headache. With his super martial arts, strong armor and sharp swords, he was almost unbeatable. He repeatedly turned the situation around with his own strength when the two armies were in a stalemate, repelled the Wu army's attack, and then left with the cheers of Shanyue.

Shanyue is a barbarian, does not understand etiquette, and respects the strong. Cao Zhuan's strength has won their respect and their unreserved support.

The positions were lost again, and they were lost again, and they were repeatedly disrupted and killed. The results of the Wu army's heavy casualties were either taken away by the other party in a blink of an eye, or they suddenly caught fire at night and burned to white ground. The greater the results they achieved, the heavier the burden on Zhou Feng.

The troops were dispersed and the front line was lengthened, which was very unfavorable to him, but it gave Cao Zhan the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

After more than ten days of fierce battle, Zhou Feng suffered nearly a thousand casualties, but the final victory was still out of reach.

The depressed morale, war-weariness, and fear of war are getting worse, which also makes Zhou Feng feel a headache.

At this time, Cao Miao made the first proposal for negotiation to Sun Luban.

The negotiation is not to persuade surrender, but the condition is to allow Cao Zhan to safely withdraw from Jiangdong and to ensure the safety of the Chen brothers, and never collect taxes.

Although Sun Luban trusted Cao Miao, he felt that this condition was too tolerant and would make Wu's face look unsuitable and not suitable, so he politely refused.

Cao Miao did not persist either.

The two sides fought again, and after seven or eight days, Zhou Feng captured more than 70% of the strongholds, but was unable to advance again. His casualties were too great and the front line was too long, so he was unable to live in peace by Cao Zun's continuous night attacks.

If you want to completely defeat Cao Zuan, you will not only increase your troops or ask Sun Luban to take action.

No matter which plan it is, it means that Zhou Rui is incompetent, and his previous record will be discounted, which is suspected of falsely reporting his military achievements.

Once false reports of military achievements are involved, the involvement will easily expand. When King Sun Quan of Wu intends to suppress the Jiangdong family represented by the Wujun family, Zhou Feng is unwilling to give someone a handle because of his own affairs.

Just when Zhou Feng was struggling, Cao Miao once again proposed negotiations.

After delaying for more than half a month, Sun Luban became a little impatient and his respect for Zhou Feng was exhausted. Such a small copycat had even been drawn for him. After playing for so long, he still couldn't get it down. It was really inconsistent with his identity as a famous general, which made people doubt that he had the elements of flattering each other.

During a military discussion, she tentatively asked Zhou Bree if she wanted help?

Zhou Feng was a little convinced, but when he saw Cao Miao's smile-like expression, he couldn't help but feel angry.

"Princess please give me another five days. If you can't win, please ask the princess to take action."

Sun Luban nodded and glanced at Cao Miao. Cao Miao smiled. "Mr., please forgive me for taking the liberty. I want to ask, where do you get the confidence?"

Zhou Feng lowered his eyelids and did not speak, just pretending that Cao Miao did not exist.

Cao Miao was calm and had no intention of stopping. "I think the reason why you are so confident is probably because you have figured out Cao Zhuan's tactics after nearly a month of competition, you have figured out Cao Zhuan's tactics and can be targeted and succeeded in one fell swoop. But I have to say, you may have taken it for granted."

Zhou Feng didn't want to pay attention to Cao Miao, but when he heard this, he couldn't help asking, "How can you tell me?"

"The princess has the most say in this regard. You might as well ask her what kind of results she achieved when she was in Wuchang and fought against Cao Zhuan for several months. Although the soldiers under the Ming Mansion were elite, they might not be able to surpass Jiefan. Although the Ming Mansion used troops like a god, they might not be able to beat the princess. Then why do you say that the goal that the princess had not achieved in several months can be achieved in just one month?"

Before Zhou Bree could speak, Cao Miao smiled and said, "Do you think the princess is young or does she think she is a female? It's not enough to say?"

Sun Luban looked at Zhou Feng and didn't say anything. She originally thought Zhou Feng looked down on her, but she didn't show it. Now she was questioned by Cao Miao in person. She really wanted to see what Zhou Feng reacted.

Zhou Feng sneered and said, "If you want to accuse me of sin, you have no choice."

Cao Miao immediately asked, "The Ming Mansion thought that women could lead troops like men and fight on the battlefield?"

Zhou Feng was speechless.

This question is difficult to answer. If it is OK, then he agrees with the women's command of the army. If it is not OK, then it proves that what Cao Miao said is true and he just looks down on Sun Luban.

He did oppose women's command of troops, but what did he say in front of Sun Luban?

He can't agree to it against his will.

Zhou Feng could only remain silent.

Seeing that Zhou Bree was not speaking for a long time, Sun Luban was very angry and shook his sleeves. "Give you five days. Five days later, you can write to the Supreme One by yourself, whether to claim the merits or apologize for the crime, you can do it yourself."

Zhou Feng's face turned red and bowed again after leaving the table. He glared at Cao Miao fiercely and left.

Cao Miao sighed and said loudly: "Mingfu, the yin and yang of heaven and earth, is it so difficult to admit that women are like men?"

—————

Sun Luban said hatefully: "Don't pay attention to him, a group of self-righteous hypocrites. They belittle women because they are just afraid that they are inferior to women and have no capital to show off their majesty."

When Zhou Feng heard this, he was so angry that he sighed to the sky, stomped his feet hard, and turned around and left.

Cao Miao stood up, walked to Sun Luban, and patted her on the shoulder. "Don't be angry, it's not worth getting angry for such a person."

Sun Luban's anger was hard to relieve.

She has put in so much effort and commanded the troops with her own abilities. Her military achievements are also cut by herself. Why don’t these people admit that? She is still a princess and is subject to such discrimination. Does ordinary women have a way out?

Men and women are all humans, why are there such a big difference?

Why can only men lead troops and fight in court, but women not?

She wanted to reverse this prejudice. Not only did she lead the troops and fight, but she would also promote more women to become officials in the future. Women could do what men could do, and even do better.

Cao Miao deeply agreed and told Sun Luban that extraordinary things must be treated as extraordinary people. Princess, you are such extraordinary people. Only you can do such things, no one else can do it, and even your aunt, Mrs. Sun, can't do it.

After all, she didn't have the conditions you have now, so she could only lay the foundation for you and pave the way for you.

Sun Luban deeply agreed and felt that the heavy responsibility was on his shoulders, and a new era was waiting for her to start. She would take over Mrs. Sun's battle flag, continue her unfinished career, and seek justice for women all over the world.

"Yunliang, you are really my good friend."
