"Madam, are you okay today?"

Aso Ming Bu saw that it was the two henchmen who came in with food, so he quickly put down the book in his hand, and nodded politely to the two henchmen in return. She is a smart woman, and she knows that these two henchmen are related to whether she can go to Cao Pi smoothly, so even if she is called "Madam" by these two henchmen, she does not dare to make any rudeness.

Henchman A put the food in front of Aso Mingbu: "Madame is pregnant, please eat on time." ”

The food can't be said to be hearty, but it's definitely not shabby either. Speaking of which, where would Lu Xun not know that this Aso Mingbu's current identity is very sensitive? If something really happened to her starvation, wouldn't she give Cao Pi an excuse when she turned around? So although it is a state of house arrest, it is still relatively thoughtful in terms of daily life needs.

Aso isn't picky about any of this. Again, she is a very smart woman, so she knows very well what position she is in now, and if she plays any big lady's temper, she is just making trouble for herself. Besides, the daily necessities provided by Lu Xun are actually very good, not much worse than when she was still in the Aso family.

As a woman deliberately cultivated by the Aso family, Aso Mingbu's upbringing is still very good. Seeing that his henchman had placed all the food, Aso Akiho thanked him first, and then put aside the book he had just read very neatly, and then sat down at the table and began to eat in a very elegant but sultry manner...... Her clan is no longer there, but she herself is still deliberately cultivating herself. Because she knows that when she turns around, she has to rely on her own capital to compete for favor with Cao Pi, and if she relaxes and her charm declines, then she will probably be nothing at all. And this should be regarded as a sense of crisis.

She ate here with peace of mind, but she didn't notice a little pity and pity in the eyes of the henchman standing aside, but these few pity and regret were only fleeting. And then, henchman A handed an inquiring look to henchman B who was guarding the door, and henchman B nodded quietly and gently.

The next moment, Aso Akiho, who was eating in an elegant manner, was stunned to find that his neck was wrapped around a white silk. Before she could react, the white silk wrapped around her neck had already begun to tighten rapidly, and the huge force almost instantly made her pink neck two times smaller, making it difficult for her to even make a sound.

Aso Mingbu is not stupid, just at this moment, she already understands that these two henchmen want to kill her, but no matter how she thinks about it at this time, she can't understand that these two people are not Cao Pi's people? Then why did they kill themselves? And if they kill themselves, not to mention how they escaped Lu Xun's pursuit when they lost their "talisman", how they justifiably returned to Cao Wei, just say that they came to Wadao to protect themselves, but if they die, then how can they explain to Cao Pi?

She's actually a very smart woman, and if she was given some time, she should be able to figure it out, but where is the time to think about it now? Bai Aya wrapped around her neck, and the only thing she could think of at this time was how to struggle to survive, so her hands and feet were scratching and kicking indiscriminately, trying to break free of Bai Aya and escape with her life.

To be honest, she is a woman deliberately cultivated by the Aso clan, in a sense, she is a female spy, and some related martial arts have also been practiced, so it shouldn't have been so bad. But one is that she is pregnant, which as a woman has greatly reduced her ability in all aspects, and the other is ...... Will the henchmen sent by Cao Pi be so poor? To put it mildly, no matter how Cao Pi said that he was also a martial arts master, if the trained henchmen were not enough, how could he become Cao Pi's henchmen?

In short, the glamorous and charming Aso Mingbu died under this white silk in such an unknown way. And her eyes were still wide at the moment of death, although this is a common death state for the hanged, but at this time it may be more appropriate to use the word death to describe her. She still didn't understand at the moment of her death, didn't she use her beauty to stun Cao Pi? Isn't he still pregnant with Cao Pi's child? Cao Pi's two henchmen won't know about these things, but why do these two henchmen want to kill themselves? Are you ready to surrender to Lu Ren? That doesn't seem right! Lu Ren is not easy to start, what are they killing?

With these unwillingness and incomprehension, Aso Mingbu died like this, and the warm/fragrant/full/bosom delicate/body was already gradually getting cold. After repeatedly confirming that Aso Mingbu was indeed dead, he asked the henchman B who was guarding the door, and the henchman B nodded again to indicate that there was no problem outside, and then went into the house, and together with the henchman A, he looked at the body of the dead Aso Mingbu.

At this time, the henchman had already confirmed that Aso Mingbu was already dead, but his hand couldn't help pinching Aso Mingbu's pretty face a few times, and sighed lightly: "It's a pity, such a lovely young girl died in our hands like this." ”

Henchman B reached out and grabbed Henchman A's hand back, and said in a deep voice: "It's just a Wadao woman, and there's nothing to be sorry for." It's you, Gong Wei has always treated me kindly, don't you have less fun with a beauty like her? ”

The henchman took the opportunity to withdraw his hand, and said with a straight face: "With the great favor of Duke Wei, how dare I fail Duke Wei?" ”

Henchman B glanced at Henchman A for a few moments, then nodded to each other, and each retreated to a certain position in the room, took out their hidden blades, and stabbed them into their hearts without blinking......

As the two bodies fell, the room fell silent. And the place where they fell was just as far as his eyes could see where Aso Mingbu fell. Although the current Aso Mingbu is long dead, his wide eyes seem to be still looking at these two henchmen. If there were spirits, perhaps she would have asked those two henchmen now:

"Why did you kill me? And why commit suicide? ”

I might just be able to say sorry to her. Aso is smart, but there are some aspects that a woman like her can't touch, so she won't understand why she died. Or it can be said that she really doesn't know what kind of person Cao Pi is and what kind of ruthless heart she has.

Cao Pi: Who is that? Although Cao Pi's character is really flattering, no one may deny that Cao Pi's own talent is also very good. And in terms of ruthlessness in things, many times he may be a little more ruthless than his Lao Tzu.

Therefore, Cao Pi actually expected that the rebellion of the Aso clan would be difficult to succeed. Although he promised the Aso clan that he would send troops to Wajima, in fact, it sounded good, and Cao Pi himself had no intention of sending troops to Wajima to help the Aso clan. To put it bluntly, Cao Pi just wanted to set a fire to Lu Ren's backyard and add a little chaos to Lu Ren.

On the other hand, Cao Pi didn't plan to make things so much. In fact, at this time, Cao Pi set his sights on Liaozhou in the northeast. But Liaozhou is Lu Ren's territory, and Lu Ren has always had a lot of influence on Cao Wei, if Cao Pi wants to attack Liaozhou, how can he say it without a reasonable excuse?

From a strategic point of view, it is completely reasonable for Cao Pi to want to attack Liaozhou. In fact, anyone who knows a little about the art of war should know how much of a threat the military power existing in the Liangliao region is to the North China Plain, like the Liao and Jin in the Liangsong Dynasty almost came out of the Liangliao region; During the Ming Dynasty, the "Son of Heaven Guarding the Country", its main defensive direction was also the two Liao; and then to the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty...... Well, the foundation of the Qing Dynasty is in Liangliao.

Not too far, the threat of the two Liao in the Han Dynasty was not as great as it was later, but there were a lot of looting of the Han Dynasty in the Liang Liao region, which was enough to attract the attention of the Han court. Later, Lu Ren and Xun Yu spent so much effort to get rid of the two Liao regions, and after they succeeded, they also set up a "Liaozhou" including the two Liao, and Lu Ren concurrently served as the pastor of Liaozhou, in fact, it was to achieve an oppressive situation against Cao Wei at the military level, which made Cao Wei have to think more about many things.

Like Lao Cao's failure to be called the king, there are also factors in this regard. Although there is the existence of Shanhaiguan, the maritime strength shown by Lu Ren before and after can basically make the Shanhaiguan defense line useless. And these things are reflected on Cao Wei's side, will Lao Cao and Xiao Cao not sit on pins and needles for this?

In addition, the cavalry on the Cao Wei side has always been a powerful combat force worth mentioning, but with the development of the current situation, the source of war horses on the Cao Wei side has been greatly restricted. At that time, the Western Regions and Liaozhou were all areas rich in war horses, but the war caused by the invasion of the Western Regions coalition army caused Cao Wei to lose part of the Western Regions, and those areas fell into the hands of Liu Bei, and this is easy to say, after all, Cao Wei still has a part of the Western Regions region, which can get war horses, but Liaozhou is here...... You have to see how many horses Lu Ren is willing to sell for you here. If there is such a problem, will Cao Pi want to move Liaozhou?

Here is another thing mentioned earlier, that is, Cao Pi has long wanted to attack Lu Ren's Liaozhou, but Lu Ren's influence on Cao Wei is a joke? Therefore, if Cao Pi does not have a reasonable excuse, it will really be a joke to move Liaozhou.

At present, Cao Pi has some better conditions on the issue of moving Liaozhou, first of all, after the battle of Liangzhou, Liu Bei retracted back to central Sichuan to restore national strength, and Sun Quan kept arguing with Liu Bei on the Jingnan issue, and the relationship between the two sides deteriorated to a certain extent, and they almost met each other. In other words, because Sun and Liu wanted to accumulate national strength and fight each other, they were unable to fight Cao Pi for a period of time, and Cao Pi did not have to worry about pressure from Sun Liu during this time.

The other, and most important, is that Lu Ren is now on an expedition and has brought about half of Lu Ren's troops on hand. And the remaining troops to garrison Lu Ren's relatively long defensive line is inevitably a bit thin, in other words, Lu Ren's current garrison is a bit insufficient. If Lu Ren returned with troops from Central Asia and strengthened his defenses in all aspects, Cao Pike would be a little reluctant to touch Lu Ren's territory.

As far as Cao Pi's strength is concerned, this seems needless to say. The territory of Cao, Liu and Sun is the largest and the highest population base of the Cao family, so the recovery speed after the war is the fastest. Not to mention, anyway, the current Cao Pi can gather 100,000 troops to attack Liaozhou in a short time, and the defenders of Liaozhou are only a little more than 20,000 at present...... Of course, the 20,000 are just regular troops, not counting the militia that Lu Ren can call up in the event of a war. But the militia is a militia after all, and Cao Pi didn't take it seriously.

All in all, the current Cao Pi has the corresponding conditions to launch an attack, and the only thing he lacks is an excuse to fight Lu Ren in the name of it. And at this time, the Aso clan sent Aso Mingbu to Cao Pi's side, which gave Cao Pi an opportunity to take advantage of.

Speaking of which, it is actually clear enough that the death of Aso Mingbu was simply instructed by Cao Pi to do so. As mentioned earlier, Cao Pi had long expected that the rebellion of the Aso clan would not succeed at all, otherwise he would be looking at Lu Ren's talent with the worst eyes. And if the Aso clan really succeeds, the trick will surprise Cao Pi.

Therefore, Cao Pi first did not plan to send troops to help the Aso clan rebel, and secondly, under the premise that the Aso clan would definitely fail, he deliberately arranged in advance for those two henchmen to protect Aso Mingbu's side. And Aso Mingbu will be pregnant, so Cao Pi is a little more satisfied with this operation in addition to the accident...... It's just to get rid of a favorite concubine, and the persuasiveness of public opinion will be a little insufficient, but if this favorite concubine has Cao Pi's child in her belly, the situation will be very different. Didn't Lu Ren and Lu Xun also worry about this problem? Kill your wife and poke your son! And it's still a child in the womb, isn't this kind of hatred enough to be an excuse for traditional Chinese thought?

Of course, Cao Pi knew that Lu Ren and Lu Xun would definitely not make such a foolish move, so someone needed to do Aso Mingbu, and then blame Lu Ren for the blame, and this task naturally fell on those two henchmen. Confidants and henchmen, to put it bluntly, are the dead soldiers trained by Cao Pi, and these dead soldiers will never be ambiguous when they want to send them to death.

Let's talk about poor Aso Akiho. In the final analysis, this glamorous and charming but poor woman will not understand how ruthless Cao Pi's methods are, you must know that Cao Pi is a guy who can even do it with his own brother, and she is just a plaything and a tool for Cao Pi, even if she has Cao Pi's child in her belly, but what is there to be reluctant for Cao Pi? In fact, let alone Cao Pi, those kings in history, for their own interests, directly gave their children to death is also common, Cao Pi is just one of them...... 8)
