Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao also felt a little touched. When she thought of Ai Lang saving their heroic figure, she couldn't help but feel heart trembling. Xiao Qiao couldn't help asking, "Mother, is he still in the hall?" Da Qiao immediately showed a look of attention.

Mrs. Qiao glanced at her two daughters and said, "He has left." Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao immediately looked gloomy. Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but say, "He said he would come back before leaving." When the two women heard this, they became angry and danced again.

Mrs. Qiao said, "The master asked me to tell you, you don't have to worry about marrying Jiangdong anymore. Mrs. He has changed his mind and decided to let you decide your own marriage." The two girls were overjoyed, and Xiao Qiao hurriedly said, "Since Dad said that, you must not go back on your word!" Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "Since your dad said that, you will naturally not go back on your word." The two girls smiled happily.

Xiao Qiao suddenly asked, "Mother, who is the woman who always follows him? Always sticking to him, it really makes people dislike him!" Da Qiao couldn't help looking at his mother, his eyes full of attention.

Mrs. Qiao said, "Your father didn't ask about this. Maybe it's his subordinate."

Xiao Qiao frowned and shook her head, "I don't think so, that woman called him the eldest brother, and she looked at him with affectionate eyes! He also brought that woman with her side! Humph, she must be the woman of that lustful guy!" Da Qiao couldn't help but show a sad look, and then a jealous look in her eyes. Both sisters didn't say anything, as if they were thinking about their own thoughts. However, the personalities of the two sisters were involuntarily revealed at this moment. Da Qiao looked sad and miserable, and Xiao Qiao gritted her teeth and seemed to have a grudge against someone and wanted to beat the man up.

Ailang and his group rushed back to Xuzhou.

When Chen Gong heard that Ailang was back, he rushed to the governor's house to pay homage. At this time, Ailang was standing by the lake holding Xiaolingqi and watching the fish. Xiaolingqi looked very happy. Yan, Diao Chan and Cao Ying stood behind the father and daughter. Yan's face was full of gentle smiles, while Diao Chan and Dong Ying could not hide their envy between their eyebrows and eyes.

Chen Gong quickly came behind Ailang and bowed to him and said, "Greetings to the General!"

Ailang turned around and glanced at Chen Gong. Then he put Xiaolingqi down and asked her to play with her mother and sisters. He walked to Chen Gong and asked, "Is there any new information? My father-in-law was not defeated by them, right?" It turned out that Chen Gong wrote that Cao Cao's army was restrained by Liu Bei in Yangping and other places. If Yuan Shao led his army south, Cao Cao's situation would definitely take a sharp turn. Please ask Ailang to rush back to Xuzhou as soon as possible to prepare for the unexpected. Due to the urgent situation, Ailang had to give up flirting with girls for the time being and rushed back to Xuzhou.

Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "Cao Cao's long attack on Yangping cannot be defeated, and Yuan Shao's army will appear at any time. The situation is very unfavorable to Cao Cao."

Ailang couldn't help but worry and asked, "What should we do?"

Chen Gong said: "Do nothing for the time being. Now is not the time for us to advance north. Let's look at the development of the situation first. If Cao Cao eliminates Liu Bei and regain Yangping, we will act according to the original plan. If Cao Cao fails to eliminate Liu Bei in time and Yuan Shao's army arrives, Cao Cao will inevitably fall into trouble and turn from attack to defense. We must send troops to Yangping to rescue Cao Cao immediately. If Cao Cao is defeated, it will harm us without any benefit!"

Ailang nodded and said, "Okay. Just do it like this." Then he said, "The most hateful thing is that bastard Sun Jian! He has arranged so many troops on my border, which makes me unable to mobilize all my strength at all!" At this moment, Sun Jian from Jiangdong has arranged 100,000 troops on the Huainan border and a large number of naval troops, which has forced Ailang to place his 100,000 troops in various key points near the Yangtze River in the south to deal with Sun Jian. In this way, Ailang can only use 50,000 troops. Ailang now has a total of 150,000 troops, which is still a big gap from the 200,000 he originally planned.

It is very simple to think about the military, but it is really implemented, but it is not the case. Due to many conditions, military pay, food, weapons, population, etc., all restricted the scale of the army that can be expanded. Ailang originally planned to expand the army to 200,000 after taking Huainan. Who would have thought that the severe drought in Huainan and the unscrupulous guy Yuan Shu had to allocate a lot of money and grain to provide disaster relief. At the same time, he stabilized the people of Huainan's economy and developed Huainan's agriculture. As a result, after taking Huainan, Ailang's hand not only did not become more abundant, but became even more nervous. The goal of expanding the army to 200,000 is still far away.

Chen Gong smiled and said, "Actually, the general can look at this issue from a different perspective. Although we were restrained by Sun Jian and it was difficult for us to concentrate all our strength to advance north, but Sun Jian was unable to mobilize all his strength to attack Jingzhou because of this? It is also beneficial to us to hinder Sun Jian's development!" Ai Lang was stunned, feeling that Chen Gong's words made sense, and he couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly said to Chen Gong: "Public Bureau, I want to propose marriage to someone, what should I do?"

Chen Gong smiled and said, "It's simple. Just send someone to the woman's house to give a betrothal gift. If the other party accepts the betrothal gift, it means accepting the proposal. Then make an appointment for a time and take the woman over." Ailang said Oh, muttering, "You have to give a betrothal gift!"

Chen Gong asked curiously, "I wonder which woman the general is interested in?" Then he thought of General Huang Wudie, the daughter of General Huang who had just heard people outside discussing, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it Miss Wudie, General Huang's daughter?"

Ailang smiled and said, "That's the same. But I'm talking about the other two." Chen Gong was shocked when he heard that there were three women here. However, this was Ailang's private affairs, so he didn't say much.

Ailang said to Chen Gong: "Public platform, do you want me to come to propose marriage in person?"

Chen Gong smiled and said, "No need. I'll just go for the general. I know Miss Wudie, but I don't know whose daughter the other two ladies are?"

Ai Lang thought that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were far away in Wan County, Lujiang. It would take a lot of time to let Chen Gong bring the betrothal gift to come and go. Now the situation in the north is tense, Xuzhou cannot leave Chen Gong for a moment. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed and muttered, "They are not in a hurry for the time being," and then said to Chen Gong: "Public station, you can hire Miss Wudie for me first! Take her over!" Chen Gong smiled and clasped his fists and agreed, and hurried away.

Diao Chan walked to Ailang and smiled and said, "I heard that the new Miss Huang Wudie is a hero among girls! She has extraordinary martial arts skills!" Although Diao Chan was talking with a smile, her tone and expression were quite jealous.

Ailang held her slender hand and asked with a smile: "Are you jealous?" Diao Chan glanced at Ailang and said angrily: "How can I be jealous? I'm just worried about my husband's body!" Ailang patted his chest and smiled: "Don't worry about my body! I can do it even if I have ten more!" Diao Chan's cheeks were flushed, and her beautiful eyes were waving. I don't know what happened. She gave Ailang a smile in her tenderness. Then she said worriedly: "I'm just worried," she raised her head and looked at Ailang's eyes, "I'm only worried that my husband will not treat me like this now if he has a new love!"

Ailang only felt that her heart was about to be melted by her tenderness. She held Diao Chan's slender hand with both hands and said affectionately: "Can'er, no matter how many women I have in the future, I will treat you as well as I am now!" Diao Chan's heart trembled and looked at Ailang in a daze.

"Dad!" Xiao Lingqi's voice suddenly came from the side. The two of them were shocked and hurriedly looked beside them. Xiao Lingqi was standing on the ground, raising her head, looking at the two of them with curious expressions. Ailang smiled and said, "What are you trying to do with this weird guy?" Xiao Lingqi looked at her father, then at Sister Diao Chan, and asked curiously: "Dad, Sister Diao Chan, what were you doing just now?"

Diao Chan walked forward, squatted down, and said with a smile: "Sister was just talking about adults to your father, and good kids can't ask these things. Do you know?" Xiao Lingqi looked at Diao Chan with her head tilted, and then grabbed Diao Chan's slender hands and rushed towards the lake excitedly, shouting: "Brother and Sister Xiaoying can't catch fish! Sister Diao Chan, come and help!" Ailang and Diao Chan couldn't help but smile and followed Xiao Lingqi.

The line of sight turned to Yangping.

After many days of war, Cao's army suffered a considerable loss. On this day, Liu Bei climbed up the city wall and looked at the situation of Cao's army outside the city. He was surprised to find that Cao's army no longer approached the city wall, and the army retreated more than ten miles.

Zhang Fei said in confusion: "Strange thing! Why did Cao Cao withdraw all his troops? Do you don't want to fight? But you retreated and didn't leave. What does this mean?" Mi Zhu said: "It must be that the Cao army suffered heavy losses for many days of attack and the troops were exhausted, so they had to retreat temporarily for a while for a rest."

Zhang Fei suddenly showed excitement on his face and shouted: "That's great! This is a great opportunity to defeat Cao Cao! Tonight, we will go to rob the camp, and Cao Cao would never dream of us daring to rob his camp!"

Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he praised, "The third brother wants to be reckless. But the strategy proposed today is quite feasible! Cao's army is powerful, so he will not expect our army to dare to leave the city to rob the village. This is a great opportunity to turn defeat into victory!" Then he said to Zhang Fei, "Third brother, go gather troops immediately, we will rob the camp tonight!" Zhang Fei responded with a loud bang and ran down the city wall. Liu Bei said to Mi Zhu again: "Zi Zhong, you can defend the city for me." Mi Zhu held his fists and agreed.

His eyes turned back to Xuzhou.

That night, the governor's mansion was decorated with lights and joy. It turned out that another new lady had entered the mansion.
