Chapter 61 Great ambition

Before the battle on Cao Zhi was over, Cao Miao got the confession he wanted.

The middle-aged man named Cang Takeu, who is Cang Ji's younger brother, who specializes in doing things that cannot be told to others for Cang Ji. He appears here tonight, so he is naturally ordered by Cang Ji to take the lives of Cao Zhi and his son.

The original plan was very simple. With five hundred gold as bait, the thieves recruited from nearby were responsible for the frontal attack, defeating the main force of the Yongqiu Palace, and then leaving with the money. Cang Wu and several of his followers were responsible for the murder, especially Cao Miao.

Although there is no evidence, Cang Ji believed that Cao Miao was a variable, and Wang Tai was likely to die at his hands. As Cang Ji, who once falsely accused Cao Zhi and started his business, was very sensitive to this. He did not want to follow Wang Tai's footsteps and decided to take the initiative to get rid of Cao Miao to prevent future troubles.

In contrast, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhi and his son are not at all dangerous. It doesn’t matter whether they kill or not, at least that’s what Cang Ji himself said.

The other things are simple, basically the same as Cao Miao's estimate. Cang Ji originally planned to make things difficult for Junyi to make things difficult for Cao Zhi and his son, but they were wary of it, but they didn't stop at Junyi and passed through the county. Cang Ji had no choice but to send Cang Wu to recruit nearby thieves and follow them all the way, find opportunities to get rid of Cao Zhi and his son, and disguise themselves as robbers to seek money and kill them, and end them all.

The plan was very comprehensive, but I didn't expect that Cao Zhi and his son were so well prepared and had such tenacious counterattacks. What was even more dangerous was that there were cavalry. Although there were not many cavalrymen, there were only a dozen people in total, for these robbers who had no experience in the army, the cavalry had too great deterrence.

Since the first year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo's chaos in politics has begun, this generation has been the battlefield. The lethality of the cavalry has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. No one is willing to face the cavalry, especially at night, when they are not sure how many troops the other party has and are ambushed by the other party.

After listening to Cang Wu's confession, Cao Miao knew that this time the success of digging the pit was mainly attributed to Cao Zhi. He accurately grasped the strength and psychology of both sides, and used the night to protect him, to double the deterrence of the cavalry, and to achieve the effect of "cavalry" to win.

If it is during the day, it is not difficult for experienced people to find that these are not real cavalry, at best they are just people riding horses. There is still some difference between horses pulling carts and real war horses, and the number cannot be concealed and can be seen at a glance. However, at night, a group of thieves who have no combat experience and do not have the time and ability to distinguish these details.

When they heard the sound of horse hooves, their first reaction was to escape.

After reading Cangwu's confession, Cao Zhi ordered Lao Bai to take ten cavalry to the place where Cangwu was hiding before and to take items that could prove his identity. During the war, the court strictly prohibited the free movement of the people and strictly controlled the pedestrians. Even Cangwu could not walk around without corresponding official documents. With these official documents, Cangji could not even be blamed.

After being forced to confess by Cao Miao, Cang Wu felt as if he was ashamed and lay on the ground like mud, motionless. He knew in his heart that once those things fell into Cao Zhi's hands, Cang Ji's fate would be decided by himself.

Cao Zhi ordered people to take Kangwu down, then took Kangwu's confession and sat by the campfire without saying anything for a long time.

Cao Miao saw it and quickly took Cangwu's confession and kept it carefully. He didn't want Cao Zhi to take it from his heart again and burned Cangwu's confession.

Cao Zhi looked at Cao Miao and stopped talking. For several months, this was one of the few face-to-face meetings between father and son, and there was no quarrel or stick. He pondered for a moment, looked at the eastern sky gradually revealing the white fish belly, and sighed.

"Yunliang, this matter... is more troublesome than you think."

"Yeah." Cao Miao responded without comment. He had some ideas, but he wanted to hear Cao Zhi's thoughts even more. After this battle tonight, his impression of Cao Zhi had changed. As long as he didn't drink or did not follow his heart, Cao Zhi was still capable.

"Cang Ji is from Dongjun and has never had the experience of becoming an official in Junyi before. He was able to prepare all this in just two days, and someone must be behind the scenes, and he is a native of Junyi."

"Who could it be?"

"It's hard to say now." Cao Zhi shook his head, smacked his lips, turned around and said to Cao Zhi, "Is there any wine?"

Cao Zhi glanced at Cao Miao. Cao Zhi misled many times because of alcohol. Cao Miao banned him from speaking. When he wrote a letter, he also banned his wine. After the last time he was at Qiting, Cao Zhi now had no confidence in Cao Zhi's promise and subconsciously asked Cao Miao for instructions.

Cao Miao nodded and raised a finger. Cao Zhi knew it and turned around and ordered someone to take a glass of wine. The wine glass was an ear cup, shallow. Cao Zhi held it carefully, for fear that the wine would spill. He took a sip and showed a faint smile.

"I never thought that a turbid wine worth ten coins per dou would be so fragrant, it is simply comparable to Zhongshan winter wine."

Cao Miao couldn't help but use the ridicule skill. "There is a beautiful woman in Zhongshan, which is beautiful and beautiful, and Chen Liu also has it?"

"Uh..." Cao Zhi was embarrassed and drank the wine in the glass, blocked his face with his ear cup. After a while, he let it go, let out a long sigh, and then said seriously: "There are many great families in Junyi, who are in the court and in the wild, and they can't tell who it is for a while. But this hatred has been formed and will always show up in the future. Yunliang, my father and son have few helps, and there are many enemies. The way west is, but every step of murderous intent is not tolerate any carelessness."

"I am very pleased that the father can say this. I hope that the father can be united in his words and deeds and do not miss this last opportunity."

Cao Zhi gave Cao Zhi a slightly slight head, handed the wine glass to Cao Zhi, and asked Cao Zhi to get some food. After beating in the middle of the night, he was a little hungry. Cao Zhi didn't think much about it and turned around. All these were prepared, and Lao Song and others were eating there, talking and laughing.

Cao Zhi looked around again, made a gesture calmly, and the two young guards standing beside him bowed and retreated. Ahu next to Cao Miao moved for a moment, and then stopped again. Qingtao did not react at all, and did not look at Cao Zhi at all.

Cao Zhi frowned slightly, then looked at Cao Miao. Cao Miao waited deliberately for a while and said, "Ahu, Qingtao, you go and eat something too."

"Here." Qingtao stood up and greeted Ah Hu.

Cao Zhi looked at Cao Miao, his mouth twitched, his eyes were complicated, and he couldn't tell what it felt. "Yunliang, a good method."

Cao Miao said lightly: "The father has been too rewarded."

Cao Zhi sighed and looked back. Cao Zhi was holding something, but he was walking back. When he met Qingtao and Ahu, he realized something and stopped. He was just worried and stared at this side.

Cao Zhi turned around and stared at Cao Miao's eyes. "Yunliang, I want to ask you something, I hope you can answer me truthfully."

"I try my best."

"What kind of result do you want?"

Cao Miao turned his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at the gradually reddish halo on the eastern horizon, and was silent for a moment. He turned around and smiled slightly at Cao Zhi's sharp gaze. "It's very simple. Sleep until you wake up naturally, count the money until you get cramps in your hands."

Cao Zhi was stunned for a while and laughed to the sky.
