"General Zihe, I trust you've been well since we last met."
Jiang Wei greeted Cao Chun with a smile.
Cao Chun smiled faintly.
"Long time no see. How's Beuyo doing?"
"I heard that Beuyo is here today with a letter from Sir. What's the matter?"
Jiang Wei went straight to the point.
"General Zihe, let me ask you. Have you been keeping an eye on Liu Bei's movements in the past few days?"
Cao Chun was confused by the question. He nodded and said,
"I've been observing Jiao Province for the past few days."
"The gates of Jiao Province are closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the cities. Liu Bei is at his wit's end."
"When Wei Emperor returns, we can take Jiao Province in one go!"
Jiang Wei shook his head heavily.
"General Cao Chun, you're very wrong."
"Sir, you've received news that Liu Bei sent troops to attack Shanyue five days ago. He wants to enter Jiangdong through Shanyue and resist Wei Emperor's army!"
"Shanyue has agreed to form an alliance with Wei to resist Sun Liu Army and take Jiangdong."
"But Liu Bei is coming with great momentum. I'm afraid he will be taken down in a few days!"
Hearing Jiang Wei's words, Cao Xiaochun's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What?!"
"How is that possible?"
"I've been stationed here for so long, and my scouts have reported no signs of Liu Bei's advance!"
"Could it be that the people of Shanyue deceived Sir?"
Cao Chun trusted his scouts without a doubt. Moreover, Jiao Province was not big, and he was monitoring everywhere. Liu Bei and the others had never left the city. The city gates were closed, so how could they attack Shanyue?
However, Cao Chun did not know that the current Shanyue was no longer the Shanyue of the past.
The current Shanyue was not as simple as forming an alliance with Wei.
The entire Shanyue was under Bai Feng's control.
However, no matter how close he was to Cao Chun, Bai Feng would never tell Cao Chun this news.
Jiang Wei frowned slightly and said in a low voice,
"General Zihe, this is Sir's letter."
"Sir said that it's better to be safe than sorry."
"Moreover, General Zihe, have you ever thought that after Jingzhou is broken, Liu Bei's Army would just create a false impression of going to Jiao Province?"
Cao Chun was stunned when he heard that.
"What do you mean? Beuyo, please explain. "
Jiang Wei said with a serious expression,
"What if he didn't go to Jiao Province at all, but turned around and attacked Shanyue to save Jiangdong?"
"If that's the case, General Zihe, what you saw was the previous Jiao Province. There was no Liu Bei Army in it, but only the City Defense Army of Jiao Province."
Cao Chun was shocked when he heard this.
Not only was this possible, but the possibility was very high!
If Liu Bei did not plan to go to Jiao Province, but wanted to enter Jiangdong and use Shanyue's territory as a medium to connect Jiao Province and Jiangdong.
This kind of thing was absolutely possible!
"Thank you, Beuyo, for your reminder!"
"Tiger Leopard Cavalry, follow me to Jiao Province to test the situation!"
Thinking of this, Cao Chun did not dare to delay and quickly gathered the Tiger Leopard Cavalry.
He had been idle for too long these days.
Now that he had discovered this possibility, how could Cao Chun sit still?
At this moment, Jiang Wei quickly pulled Cao Chun and said,
"General Zihe, don't be impatient!"
"The Tiger Leopard Cavalry has been stationed in Jingzhou for a long time. How could Liu Bei not be on guard?"
"If the City Defense Army is also observing the Tiger Leopard Cavalry's movements, doing this will alert the enemy."
Hearing this, Cao Chun was puzzled and asked,
"Then what does Beuyo think we should do?"
Jiang Wei furrowed his brows and said with a solemn expression.
"Go directly to Shanyue!"
"Whether or not Liu Bei is in Jiao Province, we can go to Shanyue to investigate."
"If he was attacking Shanyue and directly sent troops from the rear, how could those city guards be faster than the Ferocious Cavalry?"
"We can catch them off guard. However, we don't need to engage in a fierce battle. We just need to ambush them."
Hearing this, Cao Chun was overjoyed.
"Good! Then we will do as Beuyo said! "
"Beuyo, do you want to go with us and see what Liu Bei is doing?"
Jiang Wei bitterly smiled and said,
"General Zihe, let's not go."
"Hanzhong and the Di people are likely to go to war. I have brought General Li Cunxiao and General Qin Liangyu. If we don't go back soon, I'm afraid that Mister won't have any soldiers to use."
Cao Chun immediately laughed and said,
"Yes, yes, yes. Beuyo is right. I didn't think it through."
"Then help me thank Mister. We will immediately send out our troops!"
After saying this, Cao Chun began to reorganize the Tiger Leopard Cavalry. If Liu Bei was really attacking Shanyue, Cao Chun was confident that he could deal him a fatal blow.
Jiang Wei's mission could be considered to have been completed.
"General Jing Si, General Liangyu, let's go first."
Li Cunxiao saw that Jiang Wei's expression was not good and whispered,
"Beuyo, are you worried that those Yamatai assassins will appear?"
Jiang Wei slightly nodded and said,
"I am indeed worried, but that's not the whole reason."
"I am thinking, if it is really Cao Zhi gongzi, how should Mister deal with him."
"Although this Cao Zhi is only talented in literature and nothing else, he is deeply loved by the Wei Emperor."
"If Mister insists on confronting Cao Zhi, I'm afraid …"
Li Cunxiao shook his head and said:
"Beuyo, you are thinking too much."
"Even if Cao Zhi doesn't make a move, Mister will definitely deal with him in the future."
"Also, Mister and Cao Zhi are not on good terms. This matter has already appeared since the first recruitment event."
"The Wei Emperor is very clear about this matter. Since he hasn't used this matter to deal with Mister, it means that he is fine."
"We are only in a hurry. Maybe it wasn't Cao Zhi who did it."
"We can't rule out the possibility that these Yamatai assassins were ordered by Yamatai to teach Mister a lesson."
"After all, Mister has always been fighting against the foreign tribes. Although Yamatai has submitted to the Central Plains, they are still greedy and covet the Central Plains."
"Therefore, it is very likely that they are worried about Mister."
Qin Liangyu smiled and said:
"Jingsi is right. Brother is now the public enemy of all the foreign tribes. But they don't dare to directly attack Brother, so they might vent their anger on you."
"Furthermore, if it was really Cao Zhi who did it, the Yang clan would definitely be involved."
"When the time comes, Mister might not even need to touch Cao Zhi. Just toppling the Yang clan would be the same."
"Once the Yang clan is toppled, the nobles who are on good terms with Cao Zhi would definitely scatter. Wouldn't that be better?"
Hearing the consolation of the two, Jiang Wei finally relaxed.
