Chen Chu couldn't help but remember the words Jia Xu said a few days ago, frowned and murmured: "Has he done something in this?"

Chen Chu ordered an iron guard: "Help Mrs. Zhurong help Meng Huo into the room!"

"Yes!" The iron guard held his fists and came to Mrs. Zhurong's side. Mrs. Zhurong looked at Chen Chu with a complicated expression.

Chen Chu left the side courtyard and suddenly stopped and said to the Iron Barrier Captain who followed him: "Protect Mrs. Zhurong! If Meng Huo wakes up and goes crazy again, do you know what to do?" The captain clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry!" Chen Chu nodded and left the backyard.

When I came to the inner hall, I was absent-mindedly flipping through the official documents, and my mind was full of Zhang Rui and the others.

Zhang Rui sneezed heavily, rubbed her slightly red nose, and wondered: "Why are you always sneezing these days?"

Diao Chan, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "Sister misses the eldest brother!" Little Zhen Mi hurried behind Diao Chan and smiled secretly.

Zhang Rui said seriously: "Mi'er!"

Zhen Mi quickly waved her head with a pair of slender hands and said, "Sister Rui, I didn't say anything!"

Zhang Rui pinched her pink fist and threatened with a grim smile: "Look at how I will educate you later!"

Zhen Mi subconsciously covered her buttocks with her slender hands and retreated behind her mother. She pouted aggrievedly: "Sister Rui is so bad! My elder brother didn't treat others like that!" She realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly covered her mouth and looked at her sisters with beautiful and seductive eyes uneasy.

When Zhang Rui heard Zhen Mi's words, she became interested. She jumped to Zhen Mi and asked with a crooked look on her face: "Mi'er, how do you treat you normally?" Diao Chan, Da Qiao, and Cai Yan looked at Zhen Mi with curiosity. Zhen Mi was so shy that she couldn't control herself. She just wanted to find a hole to crawl into it. Her pretty face looked like a monkey's butt, and her head was hanging down.

Seeing Zhen Mi's appearance like this, Zhang Rui couldn't help but become even more curious and kept asking. Zhen Mi, who was forced to helplessly, finally explained the story between her and Chen Chu intermittently.

After listening to Zhen Mi's narrative, the girls were both amused and couldn't help but think of the ambiguous things between them and Chen Chu. For a moment, there was silence.

Zhang Rui rubbed her nose and said seriously: "To be honest, I have a bad feeling!"

Hearing this, the girls couldn't help but become nervous. Zhen Mi asked with a worried look: "Sister Rui, what do you have? What are you feeling?" A pair of slender hands were placed on her chest, looking very nervous and cute.

Zhang Rui said seriously: "I think that bad guy might be teasing a girl from which family now!"

The girls were stunned and felt a crow flying by on their foreheads.

Diao Chan covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister Rui is worried about her elder brother's wild food!"

Zhang Rui nodded seriously, then smiled and blinked at Diao Chan and said, "Sister Chan'er, do I know some of your things!"

Diao Chan was stunned, "My affairs." The other girls immediately became curious. Zhen Mi jumped to Zhang Rui and asked curiously: "What's wrong with Sister Chan'er?"

Zhang Rui first smiled, then pretended to be a male voice and said, "Cyan, you will give me many little Diao Chan to give birth to me in the future! ~~"

Diao Chan's delicate face immediately burned like fire, and then he heard Zhang Rui say in a very gentle voice: "Can'er must have given birth to countless little Diao Chan and Chen Chu for his elder brother!"

Diao Chan finally couldn't control her shyness and rushed to Zhang Rui to fight. Zhen Mi grinned, Da Qiao and Cai Yan were smirking. Zhen Shi looked at the scene in front of her with a happy look on her face.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Just as Chen Chu was absent-mindedly reading the official documents in the inner hall center, the messenger ran in.

"Your Majesty, General Ma Chao's letter!" As he said that, he presented a short note with both hands.

Chen Chu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the demolition and looked at it, laughing and said, "Good job!" Ma Chao captured Yueli, which had not many defensive forces a few days ago, and then led his army to the south to guide the three counties of Xichang, Luzhou and Huichuan. Half a day ago, the Lujin Pass, which was crucial in strategic locations. This Lujin Pass is located on the banks of Lushui, a tributary of the Minjiang River. It is the only necessary route between southern Yizhou and Jiaozhou. Lujin Pass is crucial for the Qin army to march into the south of the Yangtze River!

Chen Chu immediately called Jia Xu and let Jia Xu read Ma Chao's letter. Chen Chu said happily: "I didn't expect that Lujin Pass would be captured so smoothly! With Lujin Pass in hand, our army could bypass the front of the Yangtze River and avoid Sun Jian's navy!"

Jia Xu nodded with joy, then frowned and said, "After that being said, our army cannot rely on Lujin Pass to take military action against Jiangnan in a short period of time!"

Chen Chu frowned and asked, "Wenhe is worried about the barbarians' problems."

"That's right! Although the barbarian forces suffered heavy losses under the attack of our army, most of Nanzhong and Jiaozhou were almost covered by the barbarian forces. If we cannot properly solve the barbarian problems, we are afraid that our army will fall into an endless battle with the barbarians before we even fought with the Jiangdong Army!"

Chen Chu realized the seriousness of the problem and asked: "It's better to transfer the First Legion back to Yizhou."

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "No! If the First Legion is transferred from Jingzhou, it is probably possible to give Sun Jian another chance! And it is possible to deepen the barbarians' vigilance against us!"

Chen Chu frowned, "Wenhe means to use comforting means." He couldn't help but think of the story of Zhuge Liang capturing Meng Huo seven times in the TV series in his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel that doing so was really troublesome.

Jia Xu nodded and said, "The barbarians have learned the power of our army in the previous two wars! Now is the time to use Huairou methods to appease the barbarian tribes!"

Chen Chu nodded and signaled Jia Xu to continue speaking.

Jia Xu continued: "First, we should put Wu Tugu and his men back, and then send envoys to the barbarian tribes!"

Chen Chu nodded and frowned again, "I'm afraid there will not be too many tribes that will surrender immediately!"

Jia Xu clasped his fists with admiration and said, "Your Majesty is wise!" Then he analyzed, "To make the barbarians completely surrender to us, people with lofty prestige among the barbarians must serve us!"

Chen Chu frowned, "You are talking about Meng Huo."

Jia Xu smiled meaningfully, "Meng Huo is just one of them, and in fact there is another person who has a greater influence among the barbarians than Meng Huo!"

"who"

Jia Xu glanced at Chen Chu, clasped his fists and said, "This person is in this governor's mansion!"

Chen Chu was stunned, "You are talking about Mrs. Zhurong!" His face looked surprised.

Jia Xu nodded, "That's right! The barbarians advocate the God of Fire, while Mrs. Zhurong is the leader of the Zhurong clan among the barbarians. His influence in the barbarians is self-evident!"

Chen Chu suddenly thought of some other things, squinted his eyes and said, "Just now, I saw Mrs. Zhurong fighting with Meng Huo. I think there will be no contribution from Wen He!"

Jia Xu was stunned and clasped his fists without hesitation and said, "Weichen did play some role in it!"

"That's all for this! But I don't want a second time!"

Jia Xu couldn't help but feel a stern, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "Yes! I will never dare to do it without authorization!"

Chen Chu thought for a moment and said to Jia Xu: "Let Madam Zhurong be released!"

Jia Xu understood Chen Chu's meaning, held his fists and agreed. After hesitating, he asked, "Your Majesty will not see Mrs. Zhurong."

"What should I say? Go and tell Mrs. Zhurong! I'll just not see her!" Chen Chu frowned slightly.

Jia Xu bowed to Chen Chu and left the inner hall with a promise.

After Jia Xu left, Chen Chu was stunned for a while, then left the inner hall, called Dian Wei over, and ordered: "I ordered people to prepare horses, I want to go to the military camp outside the city to check out!"

Dian Wei was stunned, then he became energetic, clasping his fists and responding loudly.

With the support of more than a hundred iron guards and Dian Wei, Chen Chu left the governor's mansion and came to the military camp located in the south of the city. At this time, the soldiers were preparing for supper.

Chen Chu's arrival made the entire military camp boil.
