Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "I will let Cao Ren closely monitor every move in Jingzhou. Once Liu Biao is dead, he will not need to ask me for instructions and immediately seize Nanyang!"

Ailang got up early in the morning, but Huang Yueying disappeared. She got off the bed and saw Xiaotao coming up with a large basin of hot water and towel and salt. Seeing Ailang getting up, she immediately looked happy and put down a bunch of things. She came forward with a trot, "General, are you getting up?"

Ailang nodded and asked with a smile: "Xiao Tao, where did Yueying run so early in the morning?"

Xiaotao smiled and said, "Miss has just gotten up. She went to the workshop behind and said she suddenly thought of some inspiration." The yard where Huang Yueying lives is different from the yard where other wives live. Like Yan, Diao Chan, and Da Qiao, they all planted various strange flowers and plants in their yards, turning their yard into a big garden. In spring, the fragrance spreads the entire yard, which is pleasing to the eye and can't help but get drunk in the rich fragrance. However, Huang Yueying is different. She is not.

She likes flowers and plants, but she loves to play with wood and iron blocks, so she built an old wooden house in her yard, which is Huang Yueying's workshop. She spent all day long except for having dinner and having fun with Ailang and her sisters. Even the maids around her were turned into workers who had taken action by her. The servants in the mansion joked behind their backs that Mrs. Huang might have been reincarnated by Lord Lu Ban, otherwise why would she like to play with wood and other things so much?

However, Huang Wudie is a bit similar to Huang Yueying. Perhaps women surnamed Huang are so different. Huang Yueying is fiddling with iron blocks of wood, while Huang Wudie is fond of eighteen weapons and beautiful horses. When he walks into Huang Wudie's yard, he can see swords and spears everywhere. According to Da Qiao, "When he arrives in Sister Wudie's yard, the cold light is shining everywhere, which is really shocking!" Huang Wudie's yard is like a large weapon warehouse, with many horses, and it looks like a place to raise horses. However, Xiao Lingqi especially loves to play in her Auntie Wudie's yard. Riding a horse under the leadership of Auntie Wudie is the happiest thing for her.

Ailang asked curiously: "What inspiration did Yueying think of?" Xiaotao shook his head, "I don't know. I asked the lady, and the lady always said, 'Tell you you don't know what it is.'"

Ailang smiled. He walked to the shelf and finished washing under Xiaotao's service. Xiaotao asked, "General, what breakfast do you want to have? I'll go and order the kitchen now!"

Ailang said: "It's fine, okay, just eat pancakes and meat wraps." Xiao Tao responded, immediately packed up the basin and other items, and walked down quickly.

Ailang walked to the window and looked into the yard. He saw Huang Yueying directing the two maids to put something on the open space in front of the workshop. The sound of speaking came in waves, but it was far apart, but I couldn't hear what they were talking about.

After a while, Huang Yueying walked into the middle of the open space with a torch and waved to the two maids. The two maids immediately took several steps back. Huang Yueying carefully approached the torch towards a small pile of things on the ground. In an instant, a burst of fireworks suddenly popped up, and both maids couldn't help but exclaim. Ai Lang was stunned and muttered, "Then, that's gunpowder?! What was Yueying doing??" As soon as he thought of it, he rushed down the wooden building.

Huang Yueying coughed twice by the smoke. Looking at the small pile of residue on the ground, she said happily: "It's great, so it's much more powerful than before!" The two maids looked at Huang Yueying with awe.

Ailang hurriedly ran towards Huang Yueying and shouted: "Yueying!"

Huang Yueying raised her head and saw her husband passing through the conversation. She immediately showed joy on her face, raised her right hand and waved to Ailang.

Ailang ran to Huang Yueying and said angrily: "Yueying, are you making gunpowder? How can you do such a dangerous thing?" Huang Yueying was stunned by Ailang's roar, and then a sweet feeling rose in her heart. She walked forward, hugged her husband's arm, and smiled: "Husband doesn't have to worry at all! I'm careful!" Before Ailang could come out of the shock just now, she raised her palm and slapped Huang Yueying's buttocks hard. With a loud bang, Huang Yueying couldn't help but exclaim, with beautiful eyes looking at Ailang with watery eyes.

Ailang said angrily: "Don't touch gunpowder again in the future. What if you burn it?"

Huang Yueying was startled and begged: "Husband, don't do this! I will pay attention!" Then she smiled and said: "Tell me good news. The new formula I came up with can greatly enhance the power of gunpowder!"

Ailang said angrily: "That's not OK! In short, you are not allowed to touch gunpowder again!"

Huang Yueying looked at Ailang and looked pitiful. Seeing her like this, Ailang's heart suddenly became soft and couldn't help but say, "You don't have to be so sad, right? You just don't get gunpowder." "Husband..." Huang Yueying shook Ailang's arm and begged.

Ailang was completely defeated and said helplessly: "Okay okay! Alas! I really owe you in my previous life!" Huang Yueying cheered immediately when she heard this, and she was happy like a little girl. Ailang couldn't help but feel happy when she saw her so happy, but she always felt that it was too dangerous to let her do these experiments. Now there was nothing wrong. If something really happened, it would be too late to regret it! Ailang thought for a moment and thought of a compromise solution and said to Huang Yueying: "It's okay if you like to study these things, but you must let others do the specific operation!" The two maids next to him heard this.

, her face turned pale because of fright. Huang Yueying glanced at the maid and said angrily: "How can they do anything?" Ailang had an idea, "Let's do you want to help the ordnance field and the official workshop to select a few female technicians to come and help!" Huang Yueying was overjoyed and shouted, "It's true?" Ailang smiled, "Your husband, I'm talking, of course it's true!" Huang Yueying said happily: "If you have the help of a technician, I will save trouble!" Ailang reminded: "You will leave the actual work to the technicians in the future, just command it. Remember?" Huang Yueying nodded obediently.

Ailang thought of what Huang Yueying said just now and couldn't help asking: "You just said that you came up with a new gunpowder formula to increase the power a lot?"

Huang Yueying nodded, but shook her head again, "Actually, it can't be said to be a new formula. I think there is no problem with my husband's formula. The problem lies in the quality of sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal. I just removed the impurities of these three things, and the power was indeed a little more powerful." Ailang suddenly realized, and nodded, muttering: "That's right! I said how the formula is the same, but the effect on the TV is completely different from mine. It seems that the problem lies in the quality!"

Huang Yueying asked in confusion: "Husband, what is the 'TV' you are talking about? Is it a place?"

Ailang was stunned and laughed: "No, no. I mean what I imagined. The gunpowder configured was very different from what I imagined!" Huang Yueying said oh, and did not take the 'TV' or anything else, and then thought about the matter of gunpowder: "I think saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal can also improve the quality. These three things contain a lot of impurities. I think we can come up with a way to remove impurities as much as possible to purify them. I think the power of gunpowder can be further improved." Ailang nodded deeply in agreement.

After breakfast that day, Ailang came to the hall, and Chen Gongtianfeng bowed to Ailang: "General (lord)."

Ailang said: "I have been thinking about a question these days. Since my dad father-in-law is coming to beat me sooner or later, why should I stay at home and wait for him to come over?"

Chen Gongtian Feng was stunned. Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "What the general means is, can you take the initiative?"

Ailang said angrily: "My dad father-in-law thought I didn't dare to attack him, but I was going to go beyond his expectations! Before he could beat me, I led the army to copy his nest first and rob my wife back!"

Chen Gongtian Feng looked at each other, and Tian Feng clasped his fists and said, "The lord's idea is very bold, but it is also in line with the unexpected tricks of military strategy! Cao Cao would not have thought that our army would take the initiative. If he could sweep Yanzhou and even attack Xuchang and steal the emperor, the situation would greatly improve our situation, and at least he could delay Cao Cao's large-scale attack!"

Chen Gong nodded and thought, "Although this approach is a bit risky, this risk is worth taking! But there is one problem in it..." He raised his head and looked at Ailang, clasped his fists and said, "General, how many troops should we mobilize to attack Cao Cao? If we mobilize troops on a large scale, Cao Cao will definitely notice and take corresponding actions. Although the main force of the Cao army is still in the north, they do not lack food and grass, and it will not take much time to mobilize it. At that time, we are afraid that we will start a full war with the Cao army in advance, but the result is that we block the disaster for the Wuhuan people! However, the troops mobilized are not enough, and this battle is not easy to fight. After all, the Cao army left in Yanzhou and other places still has nearly 200,000 people, and Cao Ren's 80,000 people in the nearby Nanyang area. If the troops are not enough, I am afraid that not only will we not be able to achieve the hopeful results, but we may suffer unnecessary losses ourselves!"

When Ailang heard Chen Gong's words, he couldn't help but frown. He originally thought that the plan he had made was very clever, but he didn't expect that after Chen Gong analyzed it like this, it seemed that this plan was useless, which made Ailang quite depressed!
