Chapter 724: Unexpected Joy
Yuanyang quickly stood up, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but become stunned. Concubine Dong came to her senses, shy and anxious, and said angrily: "Why don't you help me pull her up!" Yuanyang hurried forward, grabbed Ailang's arm and pulled it out hard. However, Ailang's body was heavy, and with the power of Yuanyang, he could only pull him up less than two feet and could no longer pull it. The power of Yuanyang was finally exhausted. With a scream, Ailang fell down again and smashed Concubine Dong who was about to get up back to the bed. This time, his big mouth was accidentally pressed on Concubine Dong's red lips. Concubine Dong was shocked.
...
Ailang woke up from his sleep and found that it was already dawn. Then he found himself lying in a very strange room. The red gauze tent was flying gently in the morning breeze. The bronze mirror of the dressing table not far away reflected Yang Guang in the early morning. The air was filled with a refreshing fragrance. Ailang immediately felt his heart and remembered what happened last night.
He sat up, rubbed his head with some swelling and pain, and muttered, "I was so drunk yesterday!" Then he looked at the delicate bed under his butt that was obviously the woman's sleeping, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked, "Can this be it? This is Concubine Dong's embroidered bed! I wouldn't have had a headache with her and her last night, right?" Yan thought of this, and then he found that his clothes were well dressed, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the sound of the woman's low voice came from downstairs. Ai Lang felt his heart moved and immediately stood up and walked towards the stairs.
When he arrived at the stairs, he found that the voice of another woman besides Concubine Dong was Huang Wudie's voice, and she actually called Concubine Dong as her sister. The two seemed to have a very harmonious relationship. Ailang was surprised and walked down the stairs. When the two women heard the footsteps on the stairs, they immediately stopped talking and looked at the stairs. Seeing Ailang coming down, they both stood up. Ailang looked at the two women, and saw Concubine Dong's delicate and blushing, and the indescribable charm was rippling in her beautiful eyes; while Huang Wudie seemed a little angry. Ailang walked forward and smiled and said to Concubine Dong, "I'm sorry, take your bed!" Concubine Dong couldn't help but be pounding, and hurriedly said, "The King of Qin doesn't need to apologize. There is nothing."
Ailang smiled and looked at Huang Wudie, and asked in confusion: "Wudie, why are you here?" Huang Wudie said angrily: "The King of Qin is missing. Do you know that the city was in trouble last night? I didn't expect you to hide in Sister Dong and get drunk!" Concubine Dong said apologetically: "It's all my fault! I shouldn't have invited the King of Qin to drink!" Huang Wudie hurriedly: "Why is this my sister's fault?" Then she glared at Ailang and said angrily: "
It's all this guy!" Ai Lang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's my fault!" Then he said to Concubine Dong, "Empress, I'm leaving! I'll ask you for a drink next time when I have the chance!" Concubine Dong's eyes lit up, and he nodded gently, saying, "If King Qin wants to, you can come over at any time!" Ai Lang laughed happily. Then he said to Huang Wudie, "Wudie, let's go back!" Huang Wudie nodded, and the two left Concubine Dong's bedroom and went back.
On the way back to the palace, Ailang saw that Huang Wudie never spoke. When she was here, she smiled and said, "I said Wudie, drinking jealousy in the early morning is not good for health!" Huang Wudie glared at Ailang angrily and said unhappy: "Who is jealous!" Ailang asked with a smile: "Aren't you drinking jealous of me and Concubine Dong?" Huang Wudie snorted, "I don't have that time!"
Ailang smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to be jealous. Concubine Dong and I have nothing to do. I just slept in her bed drunk. They have a husband. Although I am not a good person, I will not have any ideas about her!" Concubine Dong was silent and looked thoughtful. When she didn't believe it, Ailang immediately raised her right hand and sweared: "If I have the idea of beating Concubine Dong, I will be struck by lightning in the sky and will not die well!" Huang Wudie said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense! They don't mean that!" Ailang looked at Huang Wudie inexplicably.
Huang Wudie frowned and asked, "Brother, Ruo, Sister Ruodong really falls in love with you? What are you going to do?" Ailang was surprised and then laughed and said, "How is this possible!" Seeing that he was like this, Huang Wudie stopped saying anything.
The two returned to the hall of the palace. Chen Gong, who was waiting in the hall, saw the two people coming in and immediately came up to worship, "King Qin! Madam!"
Ailang smiled and said, "Old Chen, you're so early!" Then he asked angrily, "It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing, the King of Qin doesn't have to worry about it!" Ailang was stunned and then smiled, "Good thing? I didn't expect there was a good thing! Tell me! What's a good thing?" Chen Gong presented a wooden slip to Ailang and said, "This is the report sent by Mrs. Zhuge Mengxue from Xuchang, please check the Qin king!"
Ailang took the wooden slip, looked at it, and looked at it, and then shouted happily: "Is there such a good thing?" Chen Gong smiled and said, "This is expected. After all, the accumulated resources in various places over the past few hundred years of accumulation are extraordinary!" It turned out that the report sent by Zhuge Mengxue was about confiscating those aristocratic families. Previously, the aristocratic families launched a rebellion and cooperated with Cao Pi and others to defeat Ailang, but unexpectedly fell into it.
In the trap set by Zhuge Mengxue and Zhuge Ruoxue, the rebellion was wiped out in just a few days. Afterwards, although Ailang decided to only deal with the leading gentry, he obtained huge wealth and materials beyond his imagination. Zhuge Mengxue's report reported this situation. It has not been fully counted yet, but there are already tens of millions of wealth and more than five million dans of food and grass. Such a harvest is simply more than the benefits that can be obtained in a big victory.
Ailang laughed loudly and said happily: "Okay! Great! These bastards wanted to harm me, but instead gave me so many gifts! Thank you very much!" Then he thought of something and said excitedly: "With so much money and food, I don't have to wait for two years, and now I can launch an attack!" Chen Gong clasped his fists and said: "The subordinates have the same idea. Now they have enough money and food, and they only need to let the army rest for a month before they can launch an attack. The subordinates' suggestions are to first march into Guanzhong, seize Guanzhong and Xiliang, and then attack Xichuan. After Liu Bei is pacified, then turn around and go north to wipe out Cao Pi." Ailang thought for a moment and said: "Immediately send orders to all places to mobilize troops and generals to mobilize food and grass."
The people of Luoyang lived step by step. However, in the past few days, they found something strange. That is, in the past few days, there have been troops transferred from other places and stationed outside the city. For many days, they have continued to continue. This makes ordinary people feel that their lord may have taken big actions. In the tavern, the people were talking about this matter. Everyone seemed very excited and guessed the possible direction of the lord's attack. Everyone was talking, as if the lord was about to wipe out the princes and unify the world.
In the hall of the Qin Palace, Chen Gong reported to Ai Lang: "Reported to the King of Qin, all the troops arrived in Luoyang according to the order. At present, the army gathered in Luoyang has reached 400,000. In addition, the food and supplies have been transported from various places, which can guarantee the 400,000 troops to fight." Ai Lang nodded happily and praised: "It will be arranged in about 20 days. It's great! Let the army rest for ten days, and then launch an attack!" "The King of Qin is wise. There is another thing. Concubine Dong called on the celebrities in Luoyang to donate a large amount of money, grain and materials. I don't know how to deal with these money, grain and materials?" Ai Lang thought of the beautiful and charming Concubine Dong and smiled and said: "Since it is their kindness, there is no reason to not accept it. Let's hand it over to the logistics side and handle it uniformly." "Yes!"
Just when Ailang was actively preparing for the war, Liu Bei and Cao Pi felt the danger. Cao Pi actively dispatched troops and arranged almost all of his main forces at the junction of the Qin army in the south. People inside Cao Pi were panic and everyone was extremely afraid of the upcoming war. No wonder, when the Qingzhou was defeated not long ago, although the Cao army did not suffer much loss in the army, the military supplies were heavy. At this moment, they were in a very unfavorable situation when facing the Qin army with a strong morale and sufficient equipment.
At the same time, Liu Bei was even more nervous. In the general's mansion in Chang'an, Liu Bei and his important civil and military officials were discussing countermeasures on the current situation. Mi Fang said with fear: "The Qin army has gathered nearly 400,000 troops in Luoyang! If we come to attack, we will definitely not be able to defend! It is better to give up Guanzhong and retreat to Xichuan!"
Zhang Fei glared and shouted: "Nonsense! Guanzhong is our territory, so we can give up!" Mi Fang was not convinced, but he did not dare to refute Zhang Fei.
Zhuge Liang clasped his fists to Liu Bei, who was frowning and said, "Yide is right. We must never give up Guanzhong easily. Guanzhong and even Xiliang are very important to us. If we lose, not only will our strength be greatly damaged, but it will also become very difficult to defend Xichuan!" Zhang Fei and others agreed. Liu Bei frowned and nodded, saying, "What the military advisor said is exactly what I think! But, just how should we defend Guanzhong?" Then he asked Zhuge Liang with hope, "Maybe, then Lu Bu is not coming to attack us Guanzhong! Gathering troops in Luoyang, it may also be going to attack Bingzhou or Jizhou!" Mi Zhu and others couldn't help but show hope.
Zhuge Liang frowned and shook his head, saying, "It shouldn't be. The enemy's target must be our Guanzhong."
