Cao Wu was taken aback. He didn't expect to see his little Asan here.
When he and Ah Da went south, he asked Ah San to test whether he could kill Sima Yi directly. If he couldn't kill him, he would wait for him to go back and deal with it.
The time limit given at that time was ten days, but now it has long exceeded the time limit. Logically speaking, Ah San should have returned to Beifu, so how could he appear here?
Before Cao Wu had time to acknowledge each other, he saw a few more people jumping out of the speedboat covered with a tarpaulin.
Ah Liu, Zhuge Liang, an unknown child, and some Cao soldiers.
These people got off the boat carefully. Cao's soldiers inspected the corpses on the ground. They were obviously shocked and did not raise their heads for a long time. Ah Liu and Zhuge Liang were searching for something along the shore.
Cao Wu quickly went downhill, mounted the little red horse, turned around the hillside, and galloped towards the shore.
Ah San had the best eyes. When he saw Cao Wu, he said happily: "General!"
She wanted to rush over, but hesitated and did not move.
Ah Liu on the side had already run towards the little red horse.
Cao Wu turned over and dismounted. Ah Liu looked around him and found that there were no wounds. He was relieved and said happily: "General, it's great that you are okay. We were still afraid that you would be captured by Jiangdong's army!"
At this time, Zhuge Liang also walked over from the river beach. Although Cao Wu didn't understand the whole story, he could roughly guess that Zhuge Liang must have asked them to come to the south bank to find him.
Zhuge Liang and Cao Wu greeted each other and said with a smile: "That day in Longzhong, the general said that troops will definitely be sent from Jiangdong. Although I have made some guesses, I am not completely sure. Now it seems that I am right."
Cao Wu returned the gift and smiled: "I just came back from Jiangdong. The situation in Jiangdong is treacherous, but the Lord of Jiangdong is still energetic. These troops will definitely be sent out. I want to persuade them not to send out troops, and let my mother Killing a son is the same and difficult to achieve, so I settled for the next best thing and deceived their main force to go to Hefei."
Zhuge Liang admired him from the bottom of his heart.
When Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, he made an agreement with Cao Wu not to deal with Liu Bei, but Cao Wu found a compromise. As long as Sun Quan sent troops, Zhuge Liang would come back to advise him and deal with Sun Quan.
Now that Sun Quan's army is in front of him, Zhuge Liang is truly a man of faith and has returned to his side.
Cao Wu also admired this.
At this time, a nervous-sounding child's voice interrupted their reminiscence.
"Nanyang Deng...Ai Ai, I have met the general!"
Originally, Cao Wu didn't care about such a child, but he was shocked when he heard him announce his family status.
"Who do you think you are?"
"Ai...Deng Ai."
The little Deng Ai stuttered and repeated it again.
Cao Wu didn't show it on his face, but he was extremely shocked in his heart. He asked: "Deng Ai? Isn't it Deng Fan?"
Deng Ai was young and poor but had a mature mind. It was not because of Cao Wu's reaction that he felt any strangeness. On the contrary, because he knew that the other party was a big shot, he answered particularly seriously.
"How does the general know that I want to change my name? I am a scholar of the world, and my behavior is a scholar. But I want to change my name to Deng Fan."
Cao Wu laughed loudly and said: "No need to change, just call me Deng Ai. Very good! Very good!"
The fact that the man who destroyed Shu appeared here reminded him of the night conversation he had with Guo Fengxiao.
Guo Jia held up a candle and told him to start from small things and make changes little by little until a certain node reaches a certain point to promote the world.
Could it be said that since Zhuge Liang came out to follow him, that was the point where everything has really changed since then?
Ah Liu said with a smile: "General, it's all my fault for finding this little guy!"
She winked playfully at Cao Wu. Every servant or maid in Bei Mansion would receive a special task whenever they went out, which was to make friends with people on a list. Deng Ai was among them. That day, Ah Liu tried to catch him and left Deng Ai behind. He had already planned it.
Hearing what she said, Cao Wu became even more curious about the whole story and urged them to talk about their experience of coming here.
It turned out that after the gathering of celebrities in Xiangyang City, Zhuge Liang and Ah Liu heard Cao Ren talk about Cao Wu's situation in Jiangdong, and immediately rushed south from Xiangyang City, eastward along the north bank of the Yangtze River, and finally caught up with Cao Cao's army.
Outside the military camp, Ah Liu announced his name, claiming to be Cao Asan and Cao Ah Liu from Beifu, and wanted to see the prime minister.
The soldiers guarding the camp sneered: "A few hairy girls and a little child, who don't even have a token, want to see the prime minister? Let's go back and play in the mud!"
The soldiers also burst into laughter. Seeing the crowd cheering, he continued: "Who is General Beifu? We don't have such a person in our military camp!"
Ah Liu's face turned red when he heard this, and he rolled up his sleeves to be reasonable. Ah San's right hand was already on his sword, ready to strike at any time.
But there was a loud "Peng" sound, and the soldier who spoke was knocked to the ground by another soldier. The soldier said with a red face: "In the previous battle, General Beifu met us on the shore, and one of us saved us." There are more than 10,000 people! If you dare to insult General Beifu, you will have trouble with 10,000 people!"
Another soldier came forward and said: "Exactly, how can you insult General Beifu!"
Ah Liu looked at this scene in surprise. General Beifu already had such prestige in the army. She was familiar with history and determined to write a biography for her general. Such things would definitely be written down in the future.
This commotion immediately attracted officers. The person in charge of defense today was Zhang Yun.
He asked what happened, and the beaten soldier stood up and cried, complaining that the other side was beating people indiscriminately.
After hearing this, Zhang Yun showed a sneer on his face and slapped the soldier, causing him to lose two teeth and looked at Zhang Yun in horror.
Zhang Yun drew out his sword and shouted: "From now on in the army, whoever insults General Beifu will insult me!"
Zhang Yun went to war as a vanguard before, and saw with his own eyes how Cao Cao's confidant Xia Houyuan trusted Cao Wu. When he returned to Cao Cao's camp, he saw how highly Cao Cao valued Cao Wu. He and Cai Mao were the culprits who encouraged Liu Cong to surrender, and they were the best at adapting to the wind. How can one not know who should be offended and who should not be offended?
Beifu General Cao Wu was already the first person in his heart that he could not offend.
The soldiers were startled, and several fell to their knees. However, there were also some ruffians who felt that Zhang Yun was not qualified to say such a thing after being demoted, so they held a grudge.
However, with Zhang Yun here, Ah Liu and his party were finally able to enter Cao's camp.
At this time, Cao Cao had a headache and had already rested. Ah Liu and the others only saw Xun You. When Xun You heard that they were from Beifu, he called Cao Asi to verify. Several maids from Beifu were very excited to meet each other and said goodbye to each other.
Zhuge Liang learned about Cao Wu's movements from Xun You. He was worried when he heard that Cao Wu and Xia Houyuan had returned to Jiangxia.
It happened that he saw the Yangtze River sand table in the military tent, silently speculated in his heart, and finally made a plan.
After leaving the military tent, he said to Ah Liu: "If the general stays in Jiangxia, he will be fine. If he goes west from Jiangxia, he will be blocked by Zhou Yu's camp. We must rescue him!"
So they borrowed a warship and soldiers from Zhang Yun and waited on the north bank of where Jiangdong's army set up camp. After they were all gone, they quietly crossed the Yangtze River to look for Cao Wu.
Cao Wuyi was stunned when he heard this ups and downs.
His dealings with Sima Yi at the celebrity gathering, Sima Yi's forbearance, and the master who could injure Ah San were all beyond his expectations.
He rubbed Asan's head, and Asan's stern face showed a trace of tenderness, and said softly: "General, I'm fine."
Cao Wudao: "We can't take such risks next time! If the mission cannot be completed, I still have a way, but your safety is more important than the mission."
Ah San was stunned for a moment, and then he untied his knot and nodded heavily.
They continued talking, and Cao Wu was already determined to deal with Sima Yi. Again, he didn't have any bad feelings towards Sima Yi, but there were some things that had to be eradicated.
In the past, he did not touch Sima Yi because he was afraid of the direction of history. Before Zhuge Liang came out, Asan could not kill Sima Yi. After Zhuge Liang came out, Asan almost succeeded.
So many historical nodes have changed, so he will not hesitate to make more attempts, including attacking the Sima family.
Moreover, Sima Yi was so tolerant that what happened at the Xiangyang City Celebrities Conference would have collapsed long ago for ordinary people. With Sima Yi, he could still hide it and was willing to follow Cao Ren to defend Hefei. Such a person has shown the ability of a generation of heroes. For the sake of the Cao family's foundation, it is impossible to tolerate him sleeping soundly next to the couch.
This is the first thing to do after returning to Beijing.
As for the "Seven Words Master Cao Potian", such outrageous things were naturally ignored by him. He knew very well that all the little he had was stolen poems. He pretended to have nothing to do and teased the maids. Some love and interest. But there is no need to use it to become famous, and he doesn't need that fame.
Now, there is something more important.
Cao Cao had a headache and he had to go take a look.
Besides, the off-board moves have been used up. When they arrive at Cao Jun's camp, they will face Zhou Yu.
They took a boat down the river, and when they approached the place where Cao Jun's camp was set up, they landed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the journey was dusty.
However, when they returned to the gate of Cao Jun's camp, they were stopped.
A captain at the entrance of the camp looked at them and snorted coldly: "The camp gate is closed at night, which is stipulated by the Prime Minister's military order. If you want to enter, just wait until you come to the camp gate in the early morning!"
Ah Liu suddenly became angry. She had already seen that the captain looked very similar to the guard who was beaten before.
Before Cao Wu could speak, she said angrily: "My general is the prime minister's brother. He has accomplished great feats and wants to enter the military camp. Which of you dares to stop him?"
As soon as the words "Brother of the Prime Minister" came out, the guards were slightly disturbed, but the captain ordered the soldiers to close the camp door with a cold face and ignored them.
With a "swipe" sound, Asan's sword was unsheathed, and the soldiers under the captain also aimed their bows and arrows at them.
The captain said coldly: "We only recognize military regulations, not relatives. No matter what the south, north, east or west, I'm sorry, as soon as the camp gate opens tomorrow morning, let the general in immediately!"
Cao Wu suddenly laughed angrily. If the other party really carried out the military order, he would not be unable to understand it, but the other party was obviously targeting him. He could advance and retreat freely in Chaisang, Longtan, and Tiger's Den. However, he was stopped at the entrance of his military camp. It was really strange. There might be something fishy in this.
