In the backyard of the Xiangyang Prefecture Mufu, in front of Fan's yard, Liu Biao and Mrs. Cai stood in front of the door.
"I've never given birth to a child, how do I know what I need to pay attention to?" Mrs. Cai suddenly said to Liu Biao with some resentment.
Liu Biao was also anxious. When he asked Mrs. Cai, his tone was a little serious, and Mrs. Cai replied. "Madam, I am also anxious for a moment. Where is Cong'er, hasn't she arrived yet?"
Mrs. Cai glanced at him and said angrily: "I've asked Cai Jing to call him, so hurry up."
While they were talking, Liu Cong and Cai Jing ran over. "Father, mother."
"Same for you. She is pregnant and you don't even know. What are you busy with every day?" Mrs. Cai scolded Liu Cong with all her face.
Liu Biao stroked his beard and added: "Cong'er, your mother is right. No matter how busy you are, you should never forget such a big thing. If your mother hadn't found out and called Zhang Zhongjing for diagnosis, she wouldn't have known that Fan was pregnant."
"It's been a month, and you still... you said, I heard that you took her out for a walk last month?" Mrs. Cai seemed to have vented all her anger towards Liu Biao on Liu Cong.
After the two men finished reprimanding him, Liu Cong finally escaped and entered the courtyard. Fan was lying on the bed, stroking her belly with loving eyes.
"Husband..." Seeing Liu Cong come in, Fan was about to get up.
Liu Cong stepped forward and sat by the bed, "Just lie down. I've been too busy recently. How long have I been?"
Fan snuggled into Liu Cong's arms, "I heard from Mr. Zhang that it has been more than a month."
For more than a month, Liu Cong recalled that Zhao Fan dedicated Fan to him in early October, and it has been more than two months now. But it is no wonder that Liu Cong is young and energetic, and he exercises regularly, not to mention
She and Fan had sex every night and often had sex. After so many times, it became a problem that she couldn't get pregnant.
"I will send you two more maids tomorrow." According to the system, a concubine can only have one maid.
"No need, Madam has sent four more maids."
Liu Cong was a little touched. Mrs. Cai really treated him like her own son, "You are my first woman. Even for you and the child, I will definitely defeat Cao Cao, for sure!"
Xuchang, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Cao and his advisers and generals were sitting in the meeting hall, discussing the army.
"Everyone, I want to go south first, completely annihilate Liu Bei, and attack Jingchu and Jiangdong!" Cao Cao glanced at the crowd and said.
After whispering for a while, Xun Yu cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, it is the right time to go south now! We can send troops from Wancheng and attack Xiangyang."
"Prime Minister, go south and attack Jingchu, Jiangdong, and dominate the world. It's not far away!" Cheng Yu continued.
Many counselors agreed to go south, but the old man sitting in the corner had his eyes closed as if he was asleep.
Cao Cao's smile faded, "What do Wen He (Jia Xu) think?"
Jia Xucai seemed to have woken up and said: "The Prime Minister is like a god with his troops. Liu Cong, Sun Quan and others will certainly not be able to stop him, but I think it is better to wait until the navy has successfully trained before heading south!"
"My lord, I have been stationed in Wancheng all year round. I am familiar with the topography of Jingxiang. As long as I cross the Han River, conquer Xiangyang, and reach Jiangling, it will be a smooth river!" The person who spoke was a man in armor with a resolute face, who was stationed there.
Cao Ren of Wancheng.
The one-eyed Xiahou Dun stood up directly, knelt on the ground and said: "What Zi Xiao said is true, Prime Minister, I am willing to be the vanguard and conquer Fancheng on behalf of the Prime Minister!"
"The last general is also willing to be a pioneer!"
"The last general invites you to fight!"
"My lord! I would like to serve as the army's staff officer!"
"Prime Minister, I am also willing to accompany the army!"
For a time, both the advisers and the generals were furious and asked for a fight!
Jia Xu watched this scene. He neither asked for a fight nor closed his eyes anymore. He just watched the crowd's anger.
Cao Cao waved his hand to stop the noise, "Zixiao (Cao Ren), what's going on with Jingxiang?"
"Prime Minister, starting from November last year, Fancheng has increased its troops to 50,000! The scouts came to report that there are often Jingxiang navy patrolling on the Han River. There is a beacon tower every twenty along the coast. Further south.
I don’t know about the situation in Xiangyang." Cao Ren said in detail.
"Where is Xinye Liu Bei?" Cao Cao asked again.
Cao Ren felt a little ashamed, "Liu Bei in Xinye hired a new military advisor named Zhuge Liang. And I don't know where the horses came from. Xinye actually had nearly two thousand cavalry. Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were not weak, and his generals were also very brave. The last general was several times
We went south to plunder, but we couldn't get any benefits."
Cao Cao thought for a while, "Wolong, Fengchu, Fengchu is Pang Tong, and Zhuge Liang is Wolong. Yuanzhi, I heard that you and Wolong were classmates. How is his talent compared to you?"
Following Cao Cao's gaze, what caught his eye was a nearly thirty-year-old scribe with a ruddy complexion.
After Xu Shu came to Cao Ying, his old mother committed suicide. Xu Shu remained taciturn in Cao Ying and did not offer advice to Cao Cao. Cao Cao also understood Xu Shu's thoughts and did not criticize them. He just provided good food and drink.
After Xu Shu thought about it for a while, he said: "If I am the light of the firefly, Zhuge Liang is the light of the bright moon! His talent is ten times better than mine!"
"Is there such a person in the world?" Cao Cao didn't believe it.
"Ten times or even dozens of times!" Xu Shu said with certainty.
"I'm afraid Pang Tong, who is as famous as Zhuge Liang, should not be underestimated." Man Chong next to Xu Shu said.
Xun You stroked his beard and said: "My lord, Liu Cong is ruthless and decisive in his actions, unlike his father Liu Biao, the master of Shoucheng. I heard what General Zixiao said, Jingzhou is already prepared, we should seize the time to go south, and we can't give them more
More time and opportunity to prepare!”
"What Gongda said is true. Wen Ruo, how are you preparing the food and grass in Xuchang?"
"Prime Minister, there are already six hundred thousand stones."
"Where are the soldiers and horses?"
"In addition to Zhang Liaotianchou and others who stayed in Liaodong, the generals who were on guard against the Hu people, Cao Hong from Chang'an and other generals have all gathered in Xuchang. If they go south, they can gather 260,000 troops, including 180,000 infantry and 8 heroic cavalry.
Ten thousand!" Xun Yu is indeed Cao Cao's boss. He knows Cao Cao's family background clearly in his heart, and he can speak out without thinking!
"Zhongde, how is the training of the navy in Yecheng?" Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu again.
"My lord, Yecheng's navy has become familiar with navy commands and can conduct basic drills."
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, Cao Cao stood up and said: "I originally wanted to go south to Jingxiang from June to August next year. Now it seems that we have to advance the troops in advance. Otherwise, Liu Cong and Liu Bei will have time to prepare."
"Cao Ren!"
"The end is here!"
"I will allocate you 30,000 brave cavalry again, 10,000 of which are tiger and leopard cavalry! Cao Chun will personally lead them, garrison Wancheng, and sweep north of the Han River!"
"promise."
"The rest of the people will perform their respective duties. When Xuchang's troops and horses are assembled, they will immediately go south to attack and destroy the two Lius!"
"promise!"
"Send someone to tell Zhang Liao in Liaodong, Zhong Yao in Chang'an and others that during the expedition to the south, they must be careful of Gongsun Kang, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others launching an attack." Cao Cao thought for a while and said, I don't know why, he always feels like this
People will come out to cause trouble while he goes south.
Although it is said that these people are obviously surrendering to the imperial court, these days, the alliance letters cannot be trusted. Surrender? That is even more nonsense.
