Zhuge Jin said distressedly: "Second sister, third sister, brother is really troublesome this time!" Zhuge sisters were very surprised when they heard this. Zhuge Ruoxue walked to Zhuge Jin's side, holding Zhuge Jin's arm, walked to the couch in the water pavilion and let him sit down, and said with a smile: "Did the elder brother do something wrong? Is it that my sister who wants us to plead for the elder brother?"

Zhuge Jin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If it is that simple, why should I bother the two girls? Just go to apologize to the King of Qin by yourself! There is no complaints about whether to kill or scrape!" The two sisters looked at each other, and both looked puzzled. Zhuge Mengxue asked, "Brother, what happened?"

Zhuge Jin sorted out his thoughts and explained the causes and consequences of Qionghua's incident in detail. Zhuge Mengxue frowned slightly. Zhuge Ruoxue said angrily, "This flower-hearted radish is now flirting with flowers and plants! I ignored him for a month!" Zhuge Mengxue smiled slightly, looked at Zhuge Ruoxue with beautiful eyes, and said jokingly: "Ruoxue, I don't care about my husband for a month, I'm afraid you can't stand it first!" Zhuge Ruoxue was embarrassed and said angrily: "Sister! Now it's your husband, right? Why are you teasing me?" Zhuge Mengxue smiled and said, "This is not a joke. Isn't what I said the truth?" Zhuge Ruoxue had a beautiful face, unable to speak, looking ashamed and annoyed.

When Zhuge Jin saw that his two sisters were flirting, he felt very depressed and couldn't help but say angrily: "I'll tell you two girls! Brother Yu is here to complain to you, why don't you care about Brother Yu!"

The two girls then thought of Zhuge Jin's affairs and looked at him. Zhuge Ruoxue snorted and said angrily: "This is the trouble caused by your husband himself. Brother, why should you push the jar for your husband?" Zhuge Jin smiled bitterly: "Didn't the third sister ask me knowingly? The King of Qin is the lord of Brother Yu, how can I not share the worries of the King of Qin!" Then he hurriedly said: "The two girls have always been very wise, so I would like to ask you to give me some advice on Brother Yu!"

Zhuge Mengxue said, "Brother, in fact, how to deal with this matter depends on your husband. We cannot be the master of your husband. I think you should report this matter to your husband and let your husband decide." Zhuge Jin felt that what Zhuge Mengxu said made sense, so he nodded. He stood up and said, "I'll go to pay homage to the King of Qin!" Then he asked, "The King of Qin should be in the study at this time?" Zhuge Mengxue said, "I just heard that my husband was talking to Jia Xu and Chen Gong in the study." Then he said to Xiaoqing, the close maid beside him, "Xiaoqing, take your brother over." Xiaoqing responded and led Zhuge Jin out of the water pavilion. In this harem, guests from outside cannot walk around casually, and must be led by the female officials and servants in the harem.

In the study, Ailang was listening to reports from Jia Xu and others. Ailang sometimes showed joy on his face, but sometimes frowned. Although there were many good things in all aspects, there were many bad things, especially before the beginning of winter, Qingzhou and Xuzhou suffered floods. The situation in Xuzhou was still good. After all, with Ailang's foundation for many years and the water conservancy facilities were very complete, so there were not much losses in all aspects; however, the situation in Qingzhou was serious. According to Jia Xu, not only did the autumn grain loss in this year, but also affected by the flood, the spring farming in the next year will inevitably be greatly affected, and the harvest will probably be more than one-third less than usual. Don't underestimate the impact of the Qingzhou flood. At this moment when Ailang urgently needed food and grass, the harvest in Qingzhou decreased so much, which is probably delayed Ailang's original plan to fight Cao Pi on a large-scale decisive battle two years later.

Ailang rubbed his forehead and cursed with some annoyance: "This bullshit, if you don't go against me for a day, he will be uncomfortable!" Everyone couldn't help looking at each other, feeling helpless. As the saying goes, 'It's going to rain and mother wants to get married.' Most of the time, there is no way to do this kind of natural disaster!

Zhou Yu clasped his fists and said, "King of Qin, since the decisive battle with Cao Pi has to be postponed, I think we should concentrate on solving the problems in the south first!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

Ailang threw his worries behind his head, glanced at everyone, and said, "I have been thinking about this matter. I think I will concentrate my efforts on the Southern Barbarian tribes such as Meng Huo in the next year. Now with the help of Zhurong tribe, this matter should be very sure!"

Zhou Yu clasped his fists and said, "The King of Qin is wise, it should be like this!" After a pause, he said, "But Sun Jian and his son cannot be careless. Otherwise, they will take advantage of the situation and cause great harm!" Xu Shu said, "What Gongjin said is very true! The King of Qin has only transferred 30,000 troops to reinforce Jingnan. His subordinates thought that such troops were not enough, so they should add another 20,000. This time, we will transfer troops from the strategic reserve team stationed in Xuzhou!"

Ailang nodded thinking and said, "Old Xu is right. We should mobilize enough troops to go south as much as possible. The south was originally 70,000 infantry and 10,000 naval troops, but now another 50,000 is the 130,000 army. It should be enough." After a pause, he asked with some concern: "I am only worried about the food and grass..." Zhou Yu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Chaisang, Danyang, Kuaiji, Wujun, there is a lot of grain stored in the local area. All of them are transported here, which should be able to cope with the needs of the 130,000 army." Xu Shu said, "There are still some grain stored in the Jingzhou granary, and it should be enough to transfer all to Jingnan!" Ailang nodded, and then smiled with a self-deprecating smile: "If you do this, our warehouse will be really empty!" Everyone couldn't help but smile.

Ailang thought of Cao Pi's brother-in-law and asked Chen Gong: "Old Chen, have my brother-in-law done something recently?" Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "Just report to the King of Qin. According to the detailed information recently sent, Cao Pi was holding an alliance meeting with Liu Bei and Sun Jian. The specific situation is unknown, but I think it is clear that there will be nothing else except discussing dealing with us." Ailang smiled and joked: "A group of mice were discussing how to deal with the tiger!" Everyone smiled knowingly.

Chen Gong continued: "Other of our people discovered a situation. Cao Pi seemed to be sending people to the grassland. His subordinates estimated that Cao Pi wanted to reintegrate the grassland divisions that were now attacking each other to serve as his own arm and support."

Ailang frowned and asked, "Do you think he can succeed?"

Chen Gong thought, "This is not easy. The grassland tribes have attacked each other and formed a deep blood feud. In the past, only because Ke Bi Neng was strong, they barely joined together. Now Ke Bi Neng is no longer strong. It is impossible to ask them to stop the troops and stop the war and join forces with me as they did before, but it is definitely not possible to do it in a short time. Don't worry about this matter for the time being." Then he remembered another thing and said to Ailang; "In addition, our people also received information. Not long ago, Cao Pi appointed Le Jin as the general and general 70,000 soldiers to enter Liaodong to reinforce Xun Yu. The subordinates estimated that it should be Goguli's indecent advance that forced the Cao army to make such a reaction."

Ailang looked thoughtful and said, "It just so happens that we can't fight with him, so let them concentrate on dealing with Gogurye!" Everyone nodded.

Ailang thought for a while, glanced at everyone, and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?" Everyone stopped talking. Ailang clapped his hands and said, "Okay. You all go down and have a good rest for two days. It's rare to come back!" Everyone smiled and clasped their fists, then left the study one after another.

As soon as everyone left, Zhuge Jin hurried in and bowed to Ailang: "King of Qin!..."

Ailang smiled and said, "It's my brother-in-law!" Zhuge Jin felt a sense of laughter and crying when he heard this. He hurriedly said, "King Qin, subordinates, subordinates have something to report..." Ailang said, "I happened to want to find you too." Zhuge Jin was stunned. Ailang said, "I have decided on the plan for the conquest of the Southern Barbarians next year. You are the governor of several counties in Jingnan. You have to have a good discussion with you and Zhurong about the specific details of this matter. You go and notify Queen Zhurong to call her, and come to the palace to attend the meeting tonight." Zhuge Jin bowed and turned around and left immediately. However, as soon as he arrived at the door, he suddenly thought of his purpose of coming today. He quickly turned around and returned to Ailang, and bowed and said, "My subordinates, I haven't told you what I'm doing yet!"

Ailang smiled and said, "Tell me."

Zhuge Jin said: "Yes, it's about that General Qionghua!..." He couldn't help but look at Ailang's expression when he said this.

Ai Lang was stunned at first, then showed a headache and asked, "She, what's her?" Zhuge Jin immediately told Qionghua's big fuss about Ma Chao's mansion and the later things he came to find him.

Ailang rubbed his forehead and felt only one head and two big ones. Zhuge Jin looked at Ailang and asked tentatively, "Or, or do you think that General Ma Chao is actually someone, and has been sent to Qingzhou now?"

Ailang waved his hand and said angrily: "What's the point of cheating like this! I didn't mean to lie to her at the beginning, but I didn't expect..." He shook his head and said to Zhuge Jin: "Don't worry about this matter. If she asks you again, I'll go to see her and ask her to wait for me. I'll handle this matter myself." When Zhuge Jin heard this, he felt that a big stone in his heart finally settled, and immediately bowed to promise.

Zhuge Jin returned to the mansion and just sat down. The servant came to report: "Sir, that General Qionghua is here again!" Zhuge Jin hurriedly said, "Please!" The servant Yingnuo ran down and led Qionghua in after a while. Zhuge Jin looked closely and found that Qionghua looked very haggard at this moment. I felt pity for him! He hurriedly stepped forward, smiled and clasped his fists and said, "General Qionghua..."
