Well then I have to help you finish it. It's not good to waste food.
Hmph. Foolish. If you suffer from over-eating it's a pointless gesture.
I heard there's a stand off again at Jiangling. When's the next offensive coming along?
I don't like to think about it. When it comes, I'll think up of something.
What do you mean?
I have to look after you and the kids first, the kingdom comes second.
Huh? I don't like what I'm hearing here. Are you saying we're going to lose.
Look, all I'm asking is that you trust me. I'll take care of you all, no matter what. Why don't you take the kid shopping while I go discuss strategy with my officers?
Fine, but you better tell me everything when you get home.
Okay.
Tell Lord Liu I said my thanks.
Congratulations on your new title, General.
Alkeides, how is the situation on Jiangling?
Tense. We've over 120,000 troops deployed on Chibi. Sun Quan has 100,000 on the other side.
The other generals are wondering if we'll reinforce them.
That's not enough of an advantage to attack. Hopefully this stand-off last long enough till our Lord decides to agree of a ceasefire.
Sir?
Our alliance with Ma Teng is nearly over. It's time to make new friends. I really hope Lord Liu Zhang understands that. We can handle Sun just fine, but if Yuan joins in, we're dead.
I see.
Anything else to add?
Nothing, General.
Good. Get the men back in shape. I want at least 30,000 men ready to march on a moment's notice. Dismissed.
Later...
Okay, I'm gonna sleep. Don't disturb me.
What about the meeting?
Oh, nothing changed. Don't worry lah. Good night. Don't forget to take the dog outside to poo.
Later...
