Zhou Yu looked at his sister's cute and charming appearance, and couldn't help feeling loving. The brother and sister did not ride horses or carries, and walked along the streets toward the front. Although it was late at night, Shouchun City was still very noisy and lively, as if the people were just excited. At this moment, a fire dragon with a blazing fire suddenly passed through the flying snow and appeared on the street in front, churning up and down, as if alive. The blazing fire illuminated a large area of ​​streets like daytime! It was clearly snowing at this moment, but the energetic fire dragon made people feel a sense of heat coming!

Zhou Yuchen was amazed when he saw this scene and shouted, "That fire dragon is really amazing!" Zhou Yu looked at the fire dragon that was rolling hard and smiled slightly. At this time, many people gathered, crowded around the fire dragon, and made huge cheers. Zhou Yu and the others followed the street to pass through the crowd. Zhou Yu looked back at the crowd of people cheering and lively, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really exciting to be so prosperous under the lord's rule!" He turned to look at Zhou Yuchen and asked, "Little sister, can you have a happy banquet in the backyard today?"

Zhou Yuchen immediately showed a happy look of not being satisfied, and said with admiration: "Brother, I didn't expect that the lord's wife, except for the two sisters of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, are all beautiful beauties in all directions! It's just that beauty is nothing but good. The most amazing thing is that each of them has excellent skills! Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are no problem. For the two sisters Zhuge have the talent that is not inferior to all military advisors, while Sun Ren's sister is actually very skilled in martial arts. At the banquet, a painting of a bow and arrow shot a bell in the distance shocked the audience!"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said, "The lord's wife is not just beautiful." He looked at Zhou Yuchen with an excited face and asked with a smile: "Looking at you, you seem to get along well with all the wives!" Zhou Yuchen said proudly: "Of course. All the sisters like me very much! By the way, brother, do you know that sister Yueying is such a great person! The doll he made actually moved by himself at the banquet!..." Zhou Yu smiled,

He said, "That is the art of mechanism. I heard that Mrs. Yueying has been obsessed with this art of mechanism since she was a child. She is so well-behaved. I am afraid that no one can surpass her today!" Zhou Yuchen nodded deeply and then smiled like a treasure, "Brother, Sister Yueying also gave me a doll! Just rotate the mechanism on the doll's back and it can walk by itself!" Zhou Yu smiled and said, "That's a precious gift, you must keep it well!" Zhou Yuchen nodded heavily.

At this time, the banquet in the front and back yards of the General's Mansion had dispersed. The originally noisy General's Mansion had become quiet at this moment. The servants and maids were busy cleaning up the mess, while Ailang and his ladies had already gone back to rest. Only the energetic Xiaolingqi led her two sisters to run around and have fun. The maids followed closely behind, all of them were very nervous, fearing that these little ancestors would not be able to explain to the lord and maids if they fell.

Before he knew it, Xiao Lingqi and her two sisters ran outside the arch of their father's courtyard. Xiao Lingqi suddenly wanted to talk to her father, so she led her two sisters into the arch. However, the maids did not dare to enter the lord's courtyard rashly, stopped at the door, looking at the three little ancestors who had already rushed in unscrupulously, looking anxious. Xiao Lingqi ran away and shouted loudly: "Dad! Dad! Xiao Lingqi is here to see you!" Several maids came up quickly and bowed to him and said: "I pay homage to the lady!"

Xiao Lingqi asked carelessly: "Are Dad here?"

The maid in the lead quickly said, "When you say to the lady, lord, he is..." Xiao Lingqi immediately led her two sisters into the wooden building behind the maids, shouting loudly, and the originally quiet yard seemed noisy. Seeing this, the maids quickly followed in.

Xiao Lingqi led her two sisters to run around, but she could not see her father's figure. She couldn't help but feel very surprised. Seeing the maids coming forward, she immediately asked angrily: "Didn't you say that Dad is here? But why is there no one?"

The maid in the lead immediately said, "That's right. Miss, he is not convenient for him to see the lady. He is talking to Mrs. Erqiao and Mrs. Diao Chan in the bathroom next to him!..." Xiao Lingqi said oh, pouted and frowned, "Dadfather is really! What else should I say when I'm so late? I originally wanted to talk to him!" Then she glanced at the maid, looked at her and pointed at her happily, "I remember, you are Sister Liu'er next to Sister Da Qiao, right?"

When Liu'er heard Xiao Lingqi's name, which was completely without any superiority and inferiority, she felt a bitter smile. She hurriedly said, "It's such a coincidence today! The three ladies rarely come to see their lords, but they have something to do! The three ladies should go back quickly, so as not to worry all wives!"

Xiao Lingqi raised her head and shouted, "I don't want it!" Then she led her two sisters downstairs.

Seeing this, Liu'er was shocked and thought that what would happen if these three little ancestors were allowed to break into the bathroom! As soon as she thought of this, she quickly led a few maids downstairs and ran out of the wooden building. A wooden building quickly searched for the figures of the three little ancestors, but saw the three of them running straight out of the arch, but they did not go to the bathroom, and their hearts were finally relieved.

Liu'er couldn't help but look at the bathroom not far away, and saw that the bathroom was brightly lit and several violently moving figures reflected on the ceiling, making people think a lot.

The New Year banquet ended, and the people were still immersed in the cheerful atmosphere of the Spring Festival, but Ailang and his civil and military officials had to get busy. Civil and military officials from all over the country who came to report their duties returned to their respective stations. That morning, Zhou Yu came to the General's Mansion to say goodbye before leaving Shouchun.

When Ailang saw Zhou Yu, he smiled and said, "Gongjin, I just remembered you, but I didn't expect you to come."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Maybe the lord has given some instructions?" Ailang stood up, walked to Zhou Yu, and said, "I suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask you. What do you know about that Japanese man? How strong are they?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "As far as my subordinates know, the Japanese are actually related to our Central Plains. In the chaotic times of the warring states in the late Warring States Period and the chaotic times of the Qin and Han dynasties, a large number of Han people left the Central Plains to move to Japan. Therefore, the Japanese customs are actually not much different from us. The Japanese name is the general term for the residents of the Japanese islands by our Han people. In fact, the Japanese islands are not a country, but composed of many large and small city-states and countries, and the situation is somewhat similar to the Western Regions. The previous contacts of Sun Jian were actually more than a dozen kingdoms led by Xiematai. However, the Japanese were simply equipped with naive tactics and lack unified command, so they could not pose a threat to us at all!..."

Ailang nodded and said, "I feel relieved when I heard you say this. I don't want these guys to harass my coastal areas again when I was fighting with Cao Pi. I don't have the energy to destroy them yet!" Zhou Yu smiled and said, "From the current naval army arrangement, it can be safe. Even if the Japanese take large-scale operations, there is no need to worry! With the combat power of our naval army and the powerful cannons, we can wipe out the invading enemies on the sea! If the Japanese come, it can be said that they are not much different from dying.

!” Ailang smiled, "That's good." He paused and said, "Gongjin, you should be careful when you return to Chaisang this time!..." Zhou Yu nodded and clasped his fists and said, "I understand!" Ailang said, "I have ordered Xu Huang to lead the army to Chaisang. In addition, I will grant you the right to recruit soldiers and guard the troops. You can mobilize local resources to expand the civilian army. If you have the opportunity, you can take the initiative and do not ask me for instructions." Zhou Yu clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your trust! I will never let you down!"

Ai Lang patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder. Suddenly he remembered something and asked with a smile: "I heard that you taught Master Bai, the talented Shouchun, a master of Master Bai?"

Zhou Yu smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I didn't expect that some small things would actually reach the lord's ears, which made the lord laugh!" Ailang asked curiously, "I heard that Gongjin's girls favored this talent very much, why did Gongjin...?"

Zhou Yu said sarcastically: "Isn't it an insult to say that such people are talented people?" "Oh. What's going on?" Zhou Yu said: "Actually, I was just planning to try this person's courage. Therefore, I made me pretend to be a rascal scoundrel and deliberately harass them when she was traveling with the young master Bai on the snow. I originally thought that even if this young master Bai was not bad, I should protect the young master, but what surprised me was that when these rascal scoundrels surrounded the young master, the big talent, hum, ran away without even giving up!..." Ai Lang couldn't help but smile when he heard that Zhou Lang, who had always paid attention to his image, said such swear words.

Zhou Yu was angry and couldn't help but continue, "This person is frivolous. Although he is a little talented, he is just a waste!"

Ailang nodded and couldn't help but say, "This man, the most important quality lies in the word "Yang", and the others are all intricate details! With this word "Yang", this man is at least like a man!" Zhou Yu nodded with deep feelings and said, "The lord is really right!"

Ailang said, "After this time, I'm afraid my little sister Yuchen is very sad, right?" Zhou Yu nodded, with a look of distress in his eyes, and then said, "Although he is sad, it's not a bad thing. I think after this time, Yuchen will not be deceived by such men!" Ailang smiled and nodded, "This is right! It's good to let them experience these things! Parents shouldn't protect them too carefully!" Zhou Yu nodded, then clasped his fists and said, "Lord, if there is no other order, I will go on the road." Ailang nodded and said, "Go." Zhou Yu bowed again and turned around.

As soon as Zhou Yu left, Ju Su came in and presented a document and said, "Lord, this is a report sent by General Hao Meng. He has assembled the 100,000 strategic reserve team under his jurisdiction in accordance with his orders and set off for Xuchang!" At present, all the troops under Ai Lang are mobilizing according to his orders. According to Ai Lang's plan, they are preparing to assemble 450,000 troops in Xuchang to attack Luoyang before March. The purpose of this battle is to capture Luoyang in one fell swoop. At this time, the heavy snow during the Spring Festival is still floating in the sky, Shouchun and other places are still filled with a festive atmosphere, and the earth is far from thawing. However, there is a busy scene of traffic on the official roads in the Central Plains, which is the scene where Lu Bu's army and food and supplies are being mobilized. Passers-by can't help but feel that a war is coming!

Cao Pi was not idle at this moment, and the armies actively mobilized. Cao Ren was appointed as the commander to guard Luoyang, while Guo Jia was appointed as the military advisor to assist Cao Ren. Cao Pi planned to gather 300,000 troops on Luoyang and several passes in the east and southeast. According to Cao Pi's estimate, 300,000 troops should be able to withstand Lu Bu's troops at risk. At the same time, Cao Pi planned to lead another 200,000 troops to cooperate with the barbarian coalition to sweep Guanzhong, preparing to solve the problem of Liu Bei regaining Guanzhong before a comprehensive decisive battle with Lu Bu! The severe cold is far from over, but the clouds of the war have already spread over the land of China!
