Chen Chu was lying on the newly made bamboo lounge chairs of the craftsmen under the shade of a dense bush in the back garden, sleeping with his eyes closed, with a comfortable and comfortable expression on his face. Several iron guards stood around him with their swords, and the bald Dian Wei stood tightly behind him as usual. Not far away, Da Qiao, Cai Wenji and other women sat on the ground, smiling lightly, and their eyes turned to Chen Chu from time to time.

An iron guard entered the back garden and rushed towards Chen Chu.

"Lord, General Guan Yu's letter!" Tiewei bowed down and presented a letter with both hands.

Chen Chu immediately opened his eyes and sat up, took the letter and opened it to read it.

After reading the book, Chen Chu showed a happy expression on his face, but this happy expression was mixed with a strong sense of worry.

"Go and call Gongjin and Gongtai to the study room immediately!" Chen Chu ordered the iron guard who was kneeling in front of him. The iron guard replied and retreated immediately.

Chen Chu got off the recliner and was about to walk towards the study when he saw Da Qiao and several other girls standing quietly on the side. Chen Chu walked up and smiled and said, "You guys can play by yourself, I'm going to handle official business!"

The women smiled sweetly, and Da Qiao said softly: "Official affairs are important!"

Chen Chu smiled gently, gently held the slender hands of several women, and then headed towards the study.

Seeing Chen Chu's back disappearing at the arch of the back garden, Cai Wenji said with a heartache: "Brother is always busy with official business these days, and even a moment of rest is a luxury!"

Da Qiao Youran said, "It would be great if we could help my brother!" Cai Yan nodded deeply in agreement.

Diao Chan, who was so beautiful on the side, chuckled and said, "The two sisters are not right!"

Da Qiao, Cai Yan suddenly became confused, Cai Yan asked, "What does sister mean?"

Diao Chan had a smile on her face and said softly: "Brother is a hero. He believes that pacifying the world and stability is a man's business. Brother, he will never allow us to work hard for state affairs!"

Da Qiao and Cai Yan nodded with thoughtful look on his face.

"No! Don't you appreciate Sister Rui's behavior very much?" Da Qiao suddenly thought of a question.

Diao Chan smiled and said, "Because Sister Rui likes to dance with swords and guns, the elder brother will agree to Sister Rui's request in order to make Sister Rui happy!" After a pause, Diao Chan continued, "I'm sure that if Sister Rui asks to lead the army alone, the elder brother will definitely not agree!"

Da Qiao, Cai Yan nodded, then raised his head together, looking at Diao Chan with a strange look. Diao Chan felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her, and couldn't help but ask: "Why are the two sisters looking at me like this?"

Da Qiao said: "Sister Diao Chan, I only realized today that the person who knows the eldest brother the most is you!"

Diao Chan felt shy for no reason and lowered her head and said, "Sister is making fun of Chan'er!"

Cai Yan, who was standing aside, smiled and said, "Sister Chan'er's words make sense. What we sisters have to do is to make the elder brother relax after finishing his work and forget his troubles!"

Diao Chan quickly echoed: "Sister Yan is saying it!"

At this time, Xiao Zhen Mi, who had not made a sound, suddenly jumped out and said loudly: "Why don't we make a brocade robe for our elder brother together!" She looked excited and her big eyes flashed very cute.

Zhen quickly pulled Xiao Zhen Mi and scolded, "Madam is talking, how can you interrupt casually!" Xiao Zhen Mi bulged her cheeks and looked aggrieved.

Da Qiao took Xiao Zhen Mi's little hand and said to Zhen: "Sister Zhen, why should we sisters be so polite?" His tone was very sincere and he implyed to blame.

Zhen quickly said, "The law cannot be ignored, I dare not go beyond the law!"

"Oh!" Da Qiao couldn't help but sigh and shook her head helplessly. Da Qiao knew that it would be impossible for Zhen to change her stubborn concept. In fact, how could Zhen be really a stubborn person who sticks to the principles and laws? The reason why Zhen is cautious everywhere is entirely out of protecting herself and protecting Xiao Zhen Mi. She has rich experience in life and has seen too many wives and concubines framed each other by any means in order to compete for favor. Of course, Zhen also knew that the ladies in front of her treated them very sincerely...

, but she still decided to be cautious.

"Sisters, go to my peony garden to talk!" Diao Chan suggested. There are eight small courtyards in the backyard of the General's Mansion in Luoyang. The small courtyard where Diao Chan lives was named Peony Garden by Chen Chu, which has a faint sense of beauty.

Da Qiao and Cai Wenji happily agreed, and Xiao Zhenmi blinked her big eyes and looked at her mother with a longing look on her face.

Zhen's heart softened and nodded, and Xiao Zhen Mi immediately jumped.

"Sister Diao Chan!" Xiao Zhen Mi ran to Diao Chan and screamed sweetly. Diao Chan smiled slightly and held Xiao Zhen Mi's hand. The two Jurchens looked like a pair of sisters.

"Sister Zhen, come with us too!" Diao Chan said to Zhen. Zhen hurriedly saluted to Diao Chan and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Chan, but I still have to go to the kitchen to take a look!"

Diao Chan couldn't help but sigh, "Okay!" Then he took Xiao Zhen Mi's little hand and walked towards his peony garden. Da Qiao and Cai Yan looked at the reserved Zhen family, couldn't help but sigh, and then followed Diao Chan.

Diao Chan said to Xiao Zhen Mi as he walked, "Sister has so many delicious foods!" Xiao Zhen Mi's eyes lit up immediately, and then suddenly remembered something, and said to Diao Chan with a longing look on his face: "Sister Diao Chan, the song you sang yesterday is so nice! Mi'er also wants to learn!"

Diao Chan smiled and said, "I will give it to Mi'er later!"

When Xiao Zhen Mi heard this, she immediately cheered.

Zhen looked at her daughter's cheerful back and couldn't help but smile with relief.

...

Chen Chu surrounded Dian Wei and more than a dozen trusted guards to the study. After a while, Chen Gong and Zhou Yu, who received the order, arrived. After the salute, the two sat down on the right.

Chen Chu took out Guan Yu's letter from his arms and said to the two: "Yun Changfa came to pass on the letter. Yesterday, the so-called coalition forces led by Goguryeo to attack our Luanhe defense line. At the same time, they sent 150,000 troops as surprise soldiers. The Goguryeo general Gao Yan led a shallow near Qian'an to cross the Luanhe River along a shallow near Qian'an!"

Seeing that Chen Chu had no anxiety on his face, the two speculated that the enemy's attack would definitely not succeed; however, Chen Chu's words still made them nervous.

"Lord, what's the result?" Chen Gong asked anxiously. Zhou Yu also had a tight expression on his face.

Chen Chu laughed and said, "Of course the Goguryeo people didn't succeed!" Chen Gong and Zhou Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Chu handed down the letter in his hand, and Zhou Yu, who was sitting at the right head, immediately got up and took it, then retreated back to his seat. At this time, Chen Chu frowned slightly and said, "Although yesterday's war lasted only one day, it was very tragic. Our army suffered nearly 60,000 casualties! However, the losses of the Goguryeo people were even heavier, and the offensive they carefully planned was in full swing!"

After reading the letter, Zhou Yu handed the letter to Chen Gong beside him, clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said, "Lord, the situation in western Liaoning is not optimistic!"

Chen Chushen nodded in agreement and frowned: "The situation in western Liaoning is very dangerous! It is very likely that a mistake will collapse in a complete collapse! Some troops must be drawn from the main force to head north!"

Zhou Yu thought, "The work of replacing the army with migrant workers is already in effect! However, it will take half a month to draw a main force of 50,000 people to travel to western Liaoning!" When Zhou Yu spoke, Chen Gong, who was standing beside him, had read Guan Yu's letter, held the letter in both hands and handed it back to Chen Chu, and then returned to his seat.

Chen Chu suddenly remembered something and asked Chen Gong: "By the way, where are the 20,000 elite troops led by General Pang De now?"

Chen Gong replied: "The letter yesterday said that they had entered Youbeiping, and now they should have entered western Liaoning!"

Chen Chu nodded, "With these 20,000 elite troops arrived on the battlefield, I believe that it can reduce a lot of pressure to Yun Chang!"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Lord, don't forget to follow these 20,000 elite Dragon Teeth troops!"

Chen Chu smiled and said, "How could I forget!" Then he looked worried and said, "But this Dragon Teeth Force must have never been on the battlefield. I really dare not give it too high expectations!"

Chen Chu looked up at Chen Gong and reminded: "Speed ​​up the matter of migrant workers replacing the army! Try to mobilize 50,000 main forces to western Liaoning in ten days!" Chen Gong hesitated for a moment, and agreed with his fists: "The palace will definitely complete the task!"

Zhou Yu clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said, "Lord, Cao Cao has stationed 100,000 elite soldiers at the junction of Jizhou and Youzhou. It is unpredictable and we must be prepared for it!"
