After the meeting, the Zhuge sisters returned to their mansion. The two women owned a mansion that belonged entirely to them, rather than relying on any man. This is probably unique in this era.

The two women returned to the back hall, then took off the gauze curtain on their heads, revealing the beautiful face that was enough to make the old Taoist tempted the hearts of ordinary people. However, at this moment, only the two sisters and a few close maids were not lucky enough to witness such a beautiful scenery. Against the backdrop of these two fairy-like women, this hall, which was originally as ordinary as the hall, actually gave people the feeling of a wonderful palace! It was not like the place where the mortals lived, but like the celestial fairy sleeping house!

Zhuge Ruoxue shut down the maids and looked at his sister up and down. Zhuge Mengxue was embarrassed by her and couldn't help but say angrily: "Sister, why are you staring at me?" Zhuge Ruoxue smiled sweetly and said: "Sister, I think you are a little different from the past!" Zhuge Mengxue said angrily: "I'm talking nonsense again! What can I do differently?"

Zhuge Ruoxue said, "Sister, don't you know? You have just returned home, but you have lost your mind five times! You are absent-minded, who is thinking about?" Zhuge Mengxue was shocked, and for no reason, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! It's not like you said!" Zhuge Ruoxue smiled and said, "You're blushing, but you don't admit it yet!" Then he asked curiously: "Sister, are you moved by that handsome man.

Who is so lucky?" Zhuge Mengxue blushed and said angrily: "I think you have touched the heart of the mortal heart, but you talked to me!" Then his heart moved and made fun of his sister, "Sister, since you heard your lord's "Loyalty for the Country", you have been particularly concerned about your lord's affairs! Have you been admiring for your lord since then?..." Zhuge Ruoxue was embarrassed, his face suddenly turned red, and he said angrily: "That's not the case!"...

Ai Lang was having fun with his wife and daughters, and suddenly Ache sneezes. His wife and daughters all looked at him. Xiao Lingqi suddenly pointed at Ai Lang and shouted, "Dad, someone must be scolding you behind the scenes!" The girls couldn't help laughing. Ai Lang glared at Xiao Lingqi with anger, "Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Lingqi said strongly, "There is no nonsense! It must be that Dad is not honest and attracting bees and butterflies outside again!" Cao Ying couldn't help laughing when she heard Xiao Lingqi say 'recruiting bees and butterflies', and the other girls couldn't help but smile. Ai Lang was very angry and ran up to teach this unrestrained daughter a lesson. Xiao Lingqi exclaimed and immediately ran around her mother and the others, while Ai Lang chased her back and was laughing at the scene.

Ailang's order was spread to all places, and the army began to mobilize immediately. At the same time, food, supplies, and weapons and materials began to move towards Xuzhou and Xiangyang.

Lu Bu's large-scale actions inevitably attracted the attention of Cao's army, and the relevant urgent reports were quickly sent to Xuchang. Cao Pi was busy eliminating dissidents, but he did not expect that the military situation suddenly came. The Lu Bu's army, which had not been in action, was actually mobilized. It was not an ordinary movement, but a large-scale movement, as if it was mobilizing all its forces!

Cao Pi was shocked and quickly summoned a kind of counselor to discuss matters in the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Cao Pi Yangyang took the two reports he had just received and said in a deep voice: "This is an urgent report sent by the two generals Xiahou and General Cao Ren from Yanzhou and Wancheng respectively! Lu Bu's army suddenly mobilized on a large scale, as if it was to mobilize all its forces to launch an attack on us! You are all intelligent people, what do you think about this matter?" Xun Yu immediately stepped out and said with his fists: "Prime Minister, the enemy must have thought that the former prime minister had just died of illness and had the opportunity to attack us! We can take the opportunity to eliminate their vital forces in large quantities and work together for the world in the future.

Prepare!" Cao Pi was now enthroned by the puppet emperor as the new prime minister of the Han Dynasty, so Xun Yu called him the prime minister. In history, Cao Cao could be called emperor instead of emperor, but just as prime minister, undermining the emperor, and the emperor became a symbol. Confucian scholars of all generations denounced Cao Cao as a treacherous slander who deceived the king and was not a condemnation of Confucian slave remarks. If we consider this from the perspective of the Legalists, Cao Cao's approach seemed to be to realize the so-called ideal of the Legalists as a false king. This approach is actually the same as Zhuge Liang's approach in Shu Han later.

When Cao Pi heard Xun Yu's words, he couldn't help but be very happy and praised: "Mr. Wen Ruo's argument is very high!" Then he said angrily, "Lu Bu dared to look down on me! I must let him know how powerful I am!"

Xun You clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, Sun Jian and his son were defeated and retreated to Cangwu. I heard that Wu Ju died of illness not long ago, and the two had already grasped the real power of Cangwu. Cangwu's strength should not be underestimated. It is better to send someone to contact Sun Jian and his son to attack Lu Bu's rear, which can also increase our chances of winning by one or two points!"

Cao Pi agreed deeply and said, "Mr. Gongda's advice is great. Let Mr. Gongda find a suitable person to go on a mission immediately to contact Sun Jian and his son! In addition, select a suitable person to be sent to Xichuan to persuade Liu Bei to join us to deal with Lu Bu as much as possible. If Liu Bei can be convinced, we will be sure to win!" Xun You agreed with his fists.

Cao Pi looked at Xun Yu and asked, "Mr. Wen Ruo just said that he would take the opportunity to destroy Lu Bu's army in large quantities. I guess he is already confident, right?"

Xun Yu clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, my subordinates thought that since Lu Bu thought there was an opportunity, it would be better to fulfill his wish. According to his subordinates' judgment, Lu Bu would mobilize a large army and would definitely divide his troops into two groups, one way to Xuzhou west to attack Yanzhou. This route must be the main force, led by Lu Bu himself, and the other way out of Jingxiang to go north to try to attack Wancheng. This route is just a partial army, and the leader must be Xu Shu and Zhao Yun. The subordinate's suggestion ordered General Cao Ren to fight to the death in Wancheng and not to let them go further, but to concentrate their efforts to deal with Lu Bu's main force. The enemy will come here, and our army will not be able to defeat and lure his main force to the hinterland of Yanzhou. Our army ambushed from all sides in advance, and when we are arrogant, we will fight out from all sides, and we will not worry about not being able to win a complete victory!"

Cao Pi frowned slightly and didn't say anything, as if he didn't agree with this plan. He couldn't help but look at Sima Yi, who was standing at the last position of the literati. But Sima Yi lowered his head and had no intention of speaking at all. Cao Pi frowned and said, "This matter is of great importance, and I still need to consider it carefully. Please step down for the time being."

After the meeting, Cao Pi summoned Sima Yi in the study and asked angrily: "Why didn't you say a word in the hall just now?"

Sima Yi smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I think what Xun Yu said is reasonable, so why bother to say more?"

Cao Pi said angrily: "Do you agree with Xun Yu's suggestion? How does this make it happen? I just succeeded to the throne and it was time for officials, the people to see my majesty, but I used such a cowardly strategy! I am afraid that before the war begins, someone will have a strange intention!" Sima Yi said: "Forgive me, although Xun Yu said that he was so bold, he actually understands that after the sudden death of the former prime minister, our army is currently unstable, and the generals in the army have many doubts! If they compete head-on with Lu Bu's army like before, they will be afraid that the gain will be more than worth the loss. If they encounter a great defeat, the consequences will be unimaginable! Therefore, the most appropriate way is to use Xun Yu's strategy to cultivate his arrogance and laziness and lead you into the trap! This plan can be said to be the most suitable one at present!"

Cao Pi was very depressed, but he knew that what Sima Yi said was the truth. In the end, he sighed helplessly and nodded, "Okay, that's what you do!" He looked at Sima Yi and said, "This is the sir who is the leader of the eastern region!" Sima Yi bowed his fists and said, "The Prime Minister trusts me so much, and I should have served the Prime Minister in a silly manner! But Prime Minister, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, the general of the eastern army, are all famous generals when they were former Prime Ministers! There is no reputation in the following areas. If you go to command them rashly, you will be unable to use them, and you will miss the big thing instead!..."

Cao Pi frowned and nodded, then asked, "Who do you think can take this important task?" Sima Yi glanced at Cao Pi, held his fists and said, "No one can be like this except the Prime Minister himself!" Cao Pi showed hesitation, and he was still a little afraid of confronting Lu Bu. In the end, he nodded and said, "Okay! I will lead the army to fight Lu Bu in a decisive battle! My father cannot defeat him, so I will defeat him!" Then he said to Sima Yi, "Sir, be my military advisor, follow me!" "I'm here to obey the order!"

The Cao army also began to mobilize on a large scale, and all the troops, the food, grass and supplies began to gather towards Wancheng and Yanzhou. For a while, the battle was dense, and even the most ordinary people smelled the breath of war!

In Shouchun, Ailang's bedroom, Ailang hugged Cao Ying and lay on the boat couch. The stars in the night sky outside the window caught their eyes. Ailang pointed to the stars in the sky to introduce the constellations and the stories behind them to Cao Ying. People in this era have never heard of legends such as constellations, so Cao Ying was relished and asked about the details of the legend from time to time, either angry or sighing. His emotions fluctuated with the experiences of the protagonists in the legend. Cao Ying suddenly withdrew his gaze and looked at Ailang, saying angrily: "Although he was full of knowledge and talent, he insisted on pretending to be rude and rude! It's really annoying! Humph, are you obviously playing tricks on others?"

Ailang touched his nose and said with a smile: "Have you noticed it?" Cao Ying glanced at Ailang and moved his body to lie more comfortable in his elder brother's arms.

The two looked at the stars in the sky and were silent for a moment. Ai Lang suddenly said, "Xiaoying, I will go to Xuzhou in two days..." Cao Ying nodded, "I know..." "If I catch Cao Pi, I will bring him to you for your treatment!" Cao Ying looked at Ai Lang, and a very touched expression flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said softly: "Thank you brother! You, you are so nice to me!" Ai Lang hugged Cao Ying's waist and asked with a smile: "Brother is so nice to you, how should you repay me?"
