As Liu Qi took over Xiling, Liu Biao and Lu Bu and Sun Jian turned the enemy into friends. Merchants began to communicate with each other again, and everything seemed to be back to the best relationship between the two families. However, what made Liu Biao feel quite troubled was that Cao Ren indeed led an army of 80,000 to Jingzhou. At this moment, Liu Biao was not worried about the safety of Jingzhou at all. Instead, Cao Ren's army came, which made him feel in a dilemma. So Liu Biao sent someone to pass on a message to Cao Ren, saying that he would thank the Prime Minister for helping him, but now the crisis has passed, so please ask your army to go back. Of course, it is really unreasonable to say this alone, so Liu Biao also sent people to send a large amount of reward supplies and military pay, hoping that Cao Ren could lead his army back immediately.

But there is an old saying that it is easy to ask God to send God to God.

Although Cao Ren accepted the aunt's reward supplies and military pay sent by Liu Biao, he said that the Prime Minister was very worried about the safety of Jingzhou because of the frequent wars in Jingzhou, so he led his army to station in Nanyang to stabilize the situation, so that Liu Biao would not have to worry. Liu Biao was very depressed, but he had nothing to say. Who said that he called the other person in himself? However, Liu Biao did not dare to force the other party to leave. After all, Cao Cao was behind Cao Ren. Now Cao Cao has replaced Yuan Shao to dominate the north, not only wielding the emperor to command the princes, but also holding millions of troops. If he offended them and was charged with rebellion and launched a large-scale attack, it would be a disaster!

Xuzhou, the General's Mansion, it was late at night, and a crescent moon in the sky was falling asleep against the clouds.

Ailang leaned against the pillow but felt very energetic and had no sleepiness at all.

He opened his eyes again and tiptoed out of the bed.

After putting on his clothes and getting ready to turn out of the screen. I saw a small black pair of thongs hanging on the corner of the screen. Ailang knew that this was Diao Chan's. Not long ago, he took it off and swung it. Unexpectedly, it hung on the screen! He couldn't help but smile, took it down, and couldn't help but lean in front of his nose and smell it. A narrow-minded thought arose in his heart, and then took Diao Chan's underwear into his sleeve. Turning the screen, walking to the door, pushing open the door and out.

Not long after, Ailang came to the study. She sat down behind the desk and looked through the many official documents piled up on the desk. After some scrutiny, she found a report sent by the Ordnance Field not long ago. She couldn't help but take it out and read it. It turned out that the good news of the Ordnance Field report was coming, and the Divine Arm Bow had been made! Ailang was very happy and continued to read it. Seeing that the Divine Arm Bow was far more powerful than the average scrubbing crossbow, it could shoot through any heavy armor at present, and it was very powerful! However, it also has disadvantages. First, the Divine Arm Bow is too powerful and cannot be operated by any soldier. It must be used by a hero in the army; second, the Divine Arm Bow is expensive, more than twice that of the ordinary scrubbing crossbow. The Ordnance Field asked whether to mass-produce the Divine Arm Bow.

Ailang thought about it and thought that if the cost is too high, it is not appropriate to produce too much at once. He first produced 5,000 divine arm bows to see the usage and then decided on the subsequent quantity. As soon as he thought of this, he picked up the brush, then gave the report a briefing, and then placed the report in the upper right corner.

Ailang picked up another official document, but it was the official document for the expansion of 50,000 troops drafted by Chen Gong. According to Ailang's intention, he actually wanted to expand his army to 600,000 in one go. However, Ailang's territory was not large enough and the population was not large. If the army was expanded to 600,000 at once, it would have a huge impact on all aspects of the local area and would seriously drag down the economic development of the local area, which would be very unfavorable in the long run. Moreover, with the current grain and grass reserves and grain supply in Ailang's territory, the pressure to supply a 600,000 troops was too high. At the same time, the number of people was to be reduced. Moreover, with the current grain and grass reserves and grain supply in Ailang's territory, the pressure to supply a 600,000 troops was too high. At the same time, the number of people was to be reduced. Moreover, the current grain and grass reserves in Ailang's territory was too high.

It is simple to expand to 600,000, but the relevant armor and ordinances are not achieved overnight, and it takes a lot of time to produce. At present, the production capacity of the Ailang Ordnance Field is to work day and night, and it takes at least four or five years to produce the newly added armor and armor required by the army of more than 200,000. In other words, even if it is to expand to 600,000, there is no need to expand to this number at this moment. It is better to take it slowly. Therefore, Chen Gong and others' opinion is to expand the army to 400,000. Ailang has agreed, but he has not signed the relevant order yet.

Ailang picked up the official document and looked at it, signed his name below, then took out the seal and stamped it, closed the official document, and placed it in the upper right corner.

...

Before he knew it, it was dawn and the rooster screamed for a long time. Ailang finally finished all the documents accumulated over this period of time. He felt soreness in his back and dizzy. He stood up, stretched his waist and stretched his waist, and sighed, "It's really not easy to be a lord!" He turned around and walked to the bedside of the study room, lay down, and soon fell asleep.

After sleeping until dawn, Cao Ying and Diao Chan woke up almost at the same time. When Cao Ying saw Diao Chan opposite him, she couldn't help but think of the madness she had last night. She couldn't help but turn her eyes away. Diao Chan smiled, sat up, stretched her big and stretched her body, and her graceful figure showed off.

Cao Ying got off the bed and picked up clothes and put them on everywhere. She was no longer as shy as before.

Diao Chan also got off the bed and looked around for her underwear. However, after searching for her circle, she could not see her. She couldn't help but wonder. She had no choice but to put on her pants and dress first.

At noon, Ailang and his wife and children were having dinner and chatting in the waterfront in the backyard, having fun. Cao Ying sat next to Ailang, accidentally knocked off her wine glass, and immediately bent down to pick it up. Ailang also bent down to pick it up the wine glass, picked it up first, but inadvertently a ball of stuff fell from his sleeve. Ailang suddenly thought that it was Diao Chan's underwear and was shocked. At this time, Cao Ying had already picked up the thing. She didn't know what it was at first, but picked it up, but when she found out what it was, she had no time to collect it. Diao Chan and Yan saw the things in her hand, and were stunned, and couldn't help but turn a flirty face.

Yan said angrily: "Sister Xiaoying, what's wrong with you..." Yan didn't know what to say. And Diao Chan stared at Cao Ying with shame and annoyance. She thought that Cao Ying hid her underwear in the morning.

Seeing that Yan had misunderstood, Cao Ying's face turned red and quickly explained: "Sister, you misunderstood! This is not mine, it's..." Seeing Diao Chan glaring at him with a blush on her face, she couldn't continue to say the following words.

Ailang suddenly took the underwear back from Cao Ying's hand and smiled and said, "This is what I just fell out, it's not Xiaoying!" Cao Ying bulged her eyes and gave Ailang a blank look. Diao Chan's beautiful eyes were flowing, and her face showed a charming look. Yan said seriously, "Husband, it's human nature to have fun with your sisters, but you must not hurt your body for this!"

Ailang nodded with a smile, "I have always kept my wife's teachings in mind!" Yan smiled slightly and looked at Ailang gently.

Xiaolingqi bulged her eyes and looked here and there. She was young and didn't understand what her father, mother and aunts were talking about.

In the direction of Nanjun, Sun Jian’s army camp.

Zu Mao hurried in and clasped his fists and said, "Lord, I just got the news that all Lu Bu's army had evacuated the Xiling area. They had returned the Xiling area to Liu Biao. Liu Biao has now transferred all the main forces to the south."

Sun Jian frowned and murmured: "This is so weird! When did Lu Bu become so generous?"

Zhou Yu thought, "How could Lu Bu be so generous?" He paused, "Yes. Not long ago, news came from the north that Cao Cao defeated the three Yuan coalition forces in Youzhou in one fell swoop, and the Yuan family was about to be completely defeated. Lu Bu must be worried that Cao Cao's next target would be him, so he hurriedly ended the war on the southern line to avoid being involved in the south and unable to deal with Cao Cao's attack. At this moment, Lu Bu must be actively preparing for the attack of Cao's army that will arrive soon. He must have no extra energy to participate in the competition in Jingzhou!"

Sun Jian agreed and then said happily: "In this way, we will lose a big trouble and we can concentrate on attacking Jingzhou!"

Zu Mao immediately said: "The last general also received a news that Cao Ren, the general under Cao Cao, led an army of 80,000 to Jingzhou to assist Liu Biao. This is probably a big trouble!"

Zhou Yu laughed loudly and said sarcastically: "Liu Biao is so stupid! He actually did such a stupid thing to lead the wolf into the house!" Then he clasped his fists at Sun Jian and said: "Lord, I think Cao Ren will definitely move soon. By that time, it will be an excellent time for us to attack Nanjun."

After Ailang and his men finished their affairs, they returned to the backyard and saw a man who looked like a maid reporting something to Cao Ying. Cao Ying ordered her, and the maid bowed and hurried away.

Ailang was surprised and couldn't help but walk forward. Cao Ying turned around and saw Ailang. She immediately showed joy and ran forward.
