"Li Heng, I appreciate your kindness, but Lower Cai is a dangerous place, I can't let you take the risk.”
After expressing his gratitude, Zhou Tai refused.
Su Yi smiled and said,"Why, You Ping, don't you have the confidence to protect me?"”
"I, Zhou Tai, will risk my life to protect you, Li Heng.”
Zhou Tai's face was solemn." However, there are always accidents. What if we run into them?" he said.”
"Don't worry, You Ping. I'm not as weak as you think.”
A cold glint flashed across Su Yi's eyes. The hand that was pressing on his shoulder suddenly increased its strength.
"Crack!"
Zhou Tai's shoulder bone creaked as he felt a sharp pain.
"He's so strong!"
Zhou Tai was shocked. He instinctively shook his shoulders and wanted to shake it off.
Unexpectedly, he used 70% of his strength to shake off Su Yi's finger.
Zhou Tai's expression changed, and he had to exert all his strength.
This time, Su Yi's iron-like five fingers were barely shaken away.
Zhou Tai sized up Su Yi and was extremely surprised.
"How is it, You Ping? Are you still worried now?" Su Yi asked indifferently.”
Zhou Tai came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh,""So Li Heng, you've hidden your strength. I'm relieved now. If you want to go to Xiacai, we can go together.”
After showing his strength and convincing Zhou Tai, Su Yi asked them to pack their luggage.
At the same time, Cao Jie had already entered Xudu in a carriage and arrived at Sikong Manor.
In the stone pavilion of the flower garden, Cao Cao was discussing the situation in Huainan with Xi Zhicai.
"Sun Ce and Lu Bu have already turned against Yuan Shu as Li Heng predicted. Yuan Shu is now surrounded by enemies and is in danger.”
"We only need to wait for them to fight until both sides are injured and Yuan Shu is severely injured. Then, we will lead our troops south and take Shouchun in one fell swoop to recover Huainan.”
Xi Zhicai was eloquent, outlining Cao Cao's strategy.
Cao Cao nodded in agreement.
"Daughter greets father."
Cao Jie stepped into the pavilion and went forward to greet him.
Cao Cao smiled and waved,"The festival is here, come and sit."”
Cao Jie entered the pavilion and sat down.
"Jie 'er, you came back at this time. Could it be that your husband said something brilliant?”
Cao Cao could see some clues.
Cao Jie said," When I was having dinner with my husband, we were chatting casually. My husband said that Lu Bu and Sun Ce are not boorish men. They will never fight to the death with Yuan Shu so that you can benefit from it."”
Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai's eyes widened as they exchanged glances.
Su Yi's judgment was the exact opposite of what the two of them had planned just now.
After pondering for a moment, Xi Zhicai revealed a guilty expression and said self-mockingly,"It was my negligence. Lu Bu has Chen Gong by his side, and Sun Ce has Zhou Yu under his command. These two are both resourceful and resourceful. With these two people as their strategists, Lu Bu and Sun Ce will indeed not fight Yuan Shu to the end.”
"In that case, our plan to kill Yuan Shu will most likely not work.”
Cao Cao frowned.
At this moment.
"However, my husband also mentioned a plan that can quickly break through Shouchun and destroy Yuan Shu."”
"Really!"
Cao Cao's brows relaxed and he said happily," I knew it. Li Heng must have a plan. Jie 'er, tell me quickly."”
Cao Jie repeated what Su Yi had said, how to advance from the Ying River, surprise attack Xiacai, then cross the Huai River, and surprise attack Shouchun, word for word.
After hearing this, Cao Cao rushed to the map and swept his gaze in the direction of Huainan.
"Brilliant, Young Master Liheng's plan is brilliant!”
Xi Zhicai was overjoyed and said emotionally,"Young Master Li Heng has a clear understanding of Yuan Shu's military deployment. Sikong, I think this plan will work!”
"Bang!"
Cao Cao slapped the map and laughed." This son-in-law of mine is truly the reincarnation of a sage. The heavens have treated me well!"”
He suddenly turned around, waved his hand and shouted," Pass on my orders. Quickly gather the troops in secret. I want to personally lead the army down the Ying River to the south and charge straight at Lower Cai City!"”
"Yes!"
Xi Zhicai gladly accepted the order.
After relaying Su Yi's plan, Cao Jie heaved a sigh of relief and wanted to leave.
Before they parted.
Cao Jie asked," Father, now that I've married Li Heng, he's already the son-in-law of our Cao family. Father, when do you plan to reveal your identity? I feel a little guilty hiding it from him."”
"What you said makes sense. It's not a good idea to keep hiding like this. Li Heng is extremely smart, and sooner or later, he will see through his flaws.”
Cao Cao frowned again, he didn't agree.
After a while.
Cao Cao said,"How about this, Jie 'er, you first test his tone and see if he has the possibility of becoming an official. If there is, then everything will be easy to handle."”
"I understand."
Cao Jie bowed and left.
When he left Xudu and returned to Su Manor, it was already dusk.
Upon entering the door, Cao Jie could not help but be stunned.
The carriage in the courtyard had been prepared. Diao Chan was instructing the maids and servants to load the soft luggage into the carriage.
"Husband, are you going on a long journey?" Cao Jie asked curiously.”
Su Yi said indifferently,"Youping is going back to the old residence of Xiacai. I heard that the scenery there is not bad, so I plan to stay there for a few days. Madam, you should also prepare. We will set off later."”
"Go to Xiacai?"
Cao Jie's expression changed." The Lower Cai is Yuan Shu's territory. If that Cao Sikong attacks, won't it become a land of war? How can we put ourselves in danger?"”
"Furen is thinking too much. I was just saying that I would attack Xiacai. That Cao Sikong might not have thought of it.”
Su Yi said disapprovingly.
Cao Jie was in pain.
She could not tell Su Yi that his father-in-law was Sikong Cao, but he had used his plan and was about to send troops to attack Lower Cai.
"If Madam doesn't want to go, it's good to stay at home. I'll be back in two months at most."”
Cao Jie was helpless. After biting his red lips, he said resolutely,"You and my husband belong to the same body, how can we be separated so easily? Even if my husband goes to a mountain of blades and a sea of flames, I will accompany him.”
"Silly girl, you're making it sound so serious. We're just going on a sightseeing trip. Don't think too much.”
Su Yi's fingertips gently scratched her nose.
Such an intimate action immediately made Cao Jie dizzy, and he smiled shyly.
On the same day.
Su Yi brought dozens of people and boarded the ship from Xu County and headed south through the Ying River.
The boat traveled for two days and arrived at Ru Yin County, which was less than a hundred miles away from Xia Cai City.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Su Yi called the merchant ship to approach and spend the night on the spot. He would sail again at dawn the next day.
Su Yi had just stepped onto the river bank when suddenly, a tiger's roar sounded in his ears.
Immediately after, waves of wailing could be heard.
"Protect Young Master and Madam!"
Zhou Tai was immediately alert. He drew his saber and led the guards to block in front of Su Yi and Cao Jie.
Su Yi's curiosity was piqued, so he asked Cao Jie and the other women to return to the ship for the time being. He brought Zhou Tai and the others and pushed aside the reeds to take a look.
He saw a carriage parked on a small road by the shore. Around it were more than ten people lying on the ground, all of them injured.
Not far away, a burly man with a black beard was fighting a fierce tiger with his bare hands.
The tiger weighed a few hundred pounds, but it was pinned to the ground by the brawny man.
The brawny man released a fist and smashed it at the tiger's head, causing the tiger to howl in pain.
"This person is actually fighting a tiger with his bare hands.”
Su Yi could not help but cheer.
" That tiger was pinned to the ground by him," Zhou Tai praised." He's stronger than me!"”
While the two of them were sighing in admiration, the tiger's skull had already cracked and it was on the verge of death.
Suddenly.
A second tiger jumped out of the forest. With a roar, it pounced on the burly man.
