Chapter 845 Preparation for War

After hearing Sima Yi's words, Fa Zheng felt that it was very reasonable. It seemed more feasible than the plan of his military advisor Fengchu, so he nodded. He hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I will repay this matter immediately. I believe my lord will agree to this plan." At this time, Cao Pi turned around and asked Fa Zheng: "Our army general can gather 500,000 people to attack Luoyang. I wonder how much troops Liu Envoy has? How to arrange it?"

Fa Zheng clasped his fists and said, "If you go back to the Prime Minister, our army can mobilize 200,000 people to use for the Central Plains War, and at the same time divide 80,000 troops to cooperate with Sun Wentai to attack Nanzhong."

Cao Pi smiled slightly, as if he was disbelief. Sima Yi smiled and said to Fa Zheng: "Mr. Fa Zheng, we are facing Lu Bu, a beast that has almost occupied half of the world. We should meet with each other openly and honestly, so that we can defeat this beast! If we deceive you with false words, we will be afraid that in the end we will swallow the bitter fruit ourselves!"

I was stunned when I issued the certificate, and then I understood what Sima Yi meant, and hurriedly clasped my fists and said, "Everything I said below is true! The Prime Minister and Mr. Sima may not know. The reason why our army was able to recover its strength so quickly was because the lord adopted the suggestion of the military advisor. Now the entire Xichuan is divided into areas and adopts militarized management. It can be said that the whole people are soldiers! Even if there is more force, they can be used!" Cao Pi and Sima Yi couldn't help but look at each other and their hearts were filled with excitement when they heard this.

As soon as he came up with an idea, Cao Pi said to Fa Zheng: "I feel relieved when sir said this." Fa Zheng clasped his fists and said, "Actually, my lord is contacting the Qiang people. If he succeeds, he can add a hundred thousand troops! My lord has already used all his strength to fight this time!" Cao Pi was very happy and praised: "Great! Liu Jun is really worthy of being the emperor of the Han Dynasty!" Then he said, "I can fully believe Liu Jun, but Sun Jian and his son? How many troops can they use?"

Fa Zheng clasped his fists and said, "Sun Jian and his son expanded their territory to the south a thousand miles, and their strength increased much more than before! According to their envoys, they will invest 200,000 troops in this battle!"

Cao Pi and Sima Yi were surprised. Sima Yi frowned and said, "Sun Wentai, known as the Jiangdong Tiger, was as famous as the old prime minister back then, so it is of course extraordinary! But how much money and grain can Cangwu have in the area that can allow him to expand such a huge army in such a short time?"

Fa Zheng said: "Although Cangwu is narrow in the territory, the southern part is vast. Previously, Sun Wentai went south to conquer the thirty-six tribes in the south, and obtained nearly two million people. This was the 2 million people who could easily get out an army of 200,000!"

Cao Pi and Sima Yi couldn't help but look at each other, and their eyes showed a look of joy. In fact, both of them had made the worst plans, but they didn't expect that things would be much better than expected! Not only did Liu Bei recover his strength, even Sun Wentai was revived! Cao Pi said excitedly: "It's really a great man! In this way, our army will win in this battle!" Fa Zhengshen nodded with consent.

It was already late in the night in Luoyang, but the city of Luoyang is still full of lights, noisy and lively, and the prosperous scene of heaven and earth. Restaurants are intertwined, brothels are singing and dancing, the streets are full of pedestrians, and the houses are laughing. The so-called peaceful and prosperous times are probably just like this. However, prosperity and wealth often breed a trend of extravagance, and the atmosphere in Luoyang and other places has already revealed extravagance. Ailang lay in Diao Chan's arms, looking at the report in his hand through the light at the head of the bed, frowned slightly. Diao Chan gently stroked Ailang's hair, and saw that he seemed to have some troubles, and couldn't help asking: "Husband, is something wrong again?"

Ai Lang couldn't help but sigh and cursed: "Isn't this little bastard Cao Pi, and the old bastard Liu Bei and Sun Jian! I'm fucking jumping up again!"

Diao Chan couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Are they coming to make things difficult for their husband again?" He looked quite worried. Seeing her like this, Ailang couldn't help but smile and pinched her chin, saying, "They were not my opponents before. Can they make any big waves now?" Diao Chan thought about it, and couldn't help but smile with a sweet smile, her beautiful eyes looked at Ailang, and said in infinite admiration: "Husband is a hero, invincible in the world, and those jumping clowns are not their husband's opponents!" Ailang was very happy, threw away the bamboo slips, turned around and pressed Diao Chan down. Diao Chan was very moved, and her beautiful eyes looked at Ailang with tenderness as water, and called in a low voice: "Husband!..." With a call, she was heartbroken. Ailang was so moved that she couldn't help but leaned down and kissed Diao Chan's gentle red lips.

...

The moon had already set westward outside the window to the west of the bedroom. Ailang woke up from his sleep. Feeling a warm fragrance in his arms, he couldn't help but look down and saw Diao Chan lying on his chest and sleeping in his dreamland. Under the moonlight, a beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of white jade luster, with a three-point smile and seven-point sweetness, as if he was having some beautiful dream. Ailang couldn't help but feel infinite tenderness arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but kiss her red lips. He carefully moved Diao Chan to the side and let her continue to sleep. Then he carefully got off the bed. Put on his clothes and turned out to the screen to go to the toilet.

After coming out of the toilet, I heard the sound of cicadas, and the air was filled with the breath of alternating spring and summer. There was silence all around, and the sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves was heard from time to time, as if someone was whispering.

Ailang suddenly thought of his parents and relatives and friends who were still in modern society, and his mood suddenly became melancholy. When he walked to the pond in front of his bedroom, he couldn't help but sit down. Looking at the bright moon reflected in the pond, he couldn't help but think a lot.

At this time, soft footsteps came from behind, and then a long robe was put on from behind. Ailang withdrew his thoughts and looked back, he saw Diao Chan, who was as beautiful as a fairy, standing under the moon and smiling. Ailang's heart suddenly felt infinite tenderness, and he couldn't help but hug Diao Chan in his arms. He looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh.

Diao Chan looked at Ailang and asked softly, "Do you have any worries?" Ailang lowered his head and kissed Diao Chan's red lips, and smiled, "I really lament the peerless beauty of my cicada! No wonder people describe the beauty of cicada by closing the moon! This is really true! As soon as the cicada stands here, the moon hides! I see that the moon in the sky is fake, and my cicada is the real bright moon!" When Ailang said this, the originally bright moon in the sky happened to penetrate into a cloud, and it was really as if she was shy to hide.

When Diao Chan heard his husband say this, she was so happy that she leaned her body into Ailang's arms and said tenderly: "Even the cicada is the bright moon, that is also the bright moon for his husband! This is like this in this life, and this is the next life and in the next life!"

Ailang was shocked and hugged Diao Chan tightly, as if he was about to rub Diao Chan's whole body into his body. Ailang was originally melancholy in his heart, but at this moment, all these melancholy were washed away by Diao Chan's tenderness and almost nothing was left.

The next morning, Ailang came to the study early to discuss the current situation with everyone. At this moment, Dian Wei led an officer in dusty clothes in, clasped his fists and said, "Lord, the people who were sent to Jizhou have been back in detail!" The officer followed and said, "Doess the villain to pay tribute to the lord!" Ailang said, "No need to be polite. Is there any news from Cao Pi again?" The officer clasped his fists and said, "That's right. The villain recently heard that Cao Pi had a secret meeting with Liu Bei's envoy not long ago! In addition, the villain also found that Cao's army stationed in the north and near Jizhou also showed signs of mobilizing the east. The villain thought the matter was important, so he rushed back day and night to report to the lord!"

Ailang frowned and murmured to himself: "It seems that the information I received before is true!" Chen Gong asked the officer, "Who is the secret envoy sent by Liu Bei?" The officer clasped his fists at Chen Gong and said: "It's Fazheng."

Upon hearing this, Ailang couldn't help but feel heart moved and said jokingly: "It turned out to be the guy who Liu Bei had been hooking up with Liu Bei before!" Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "This person can be said to be Liu Bei's confidant. Liu Bei sent this person to Cao Pi, which shows that they are indeed planning a big move." Ailang couldn't help but pat his head and cursed: "These turtles really don't make me safe!" Chen Gong said: "They must think that our army consumed a lot of money and food to conquer Liaodong not long ago, and now is a great time to defeat us!" Ailang snorted coldly and said: "Come on if you want to come! I just stew them all in one pot!"

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, with a thoughtful look on his face and said, "As far as the current situation is concerned, Cao Pi, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian should have colluded! The army has begun to mobilize, and the war is not far away! As early as this year, the war may come in late summer and early autumn!" Chen Gong nodded and said to Ailang: "At present, we should actively prepare for the war, and at the same time, we will send more detailed tasks to effectively grasp the opponent's movements."

Ailang nodded and asked the two of them, "So we should do this specifically? You can't just defend so stupidly, right?"

Zhuge Liang said: "The enemy's movements are not clear at the moment, and it is difficult to formulate specific combat plans for the time being. Our army only needs to defend all borders, and the mobile army gathered in Luoyang to prepare for attacking at any time. Take defense as an offense and respond to changes in the same way." Chen Gong nodded and said: "Kong Ming said very well!" Ailang sat down and thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay." Then Ailang drafted an order, ordering the borders of various places to strengthen garrisonment, and ordering the main force of the strategic reserve team to gather in Luoyang, and at the same time, ordering all places to transport grain, grass and supplies as much as possible in Luoyang, Xuchang and Xiangyang, except Qingzhou and Liaodong.
