Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 147: The famous general Taishi Ci! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friend 2024…2398~)

People from later generations?

Could it be that someone from later generations entered Lu Bu's body and took control of Lu Bu's body and memory?

If this is the case, it is not difficult to understand why the other party can possess unparalleled bravery and wisdom far beyond his previous experience!
Originally, in Zhuge Liang's view, Lu Bu was at an absolute disadvantage in the battle against Cao Cao!

If I didn't help, the other party would most likely take over Jiangxia, or even be wiped out by Cao Cao in one fell swoop!
But now it seems that even if Jiangxia is captured by the enemy, it will not be so easy for Cao Cao to annihilate Lu Bu in one fell swoop!
"It seems that Liang underestimated you... But this makes things a lot more interesting."

Zhuge Liang habitually waved his feather fan, with a confident smile on his lips.

He had already concluded that there were two main reasons why he had not been able to restore the Han Dynasty to its old capital in his previous life:
First, Yizhou was exhausted and could not support the national strength competition between Shu Han and Wei.

Second, Shu Han had too few talented people.

If Shu Han had attacked Wei in the early stage, with important talents like Guan, Zhang, Zhao, Ma, Huang, Feng Chu and Fa Zheng all present, the possibility of success of the Northern Expedition would undoubtedly be much greater.

In addition, if his beloved lord in his previous life had not been defeated in the Battle of Yiling, the subsequent decline of talent would not have been so fast...

Regarding the first point, his improvement strategy was to abandon the idea of ​​dividing the world into three parts and gain a foothold in the Central Plains.

After Tao Qian's death, he expanded outward using Xuzhou as his base.

Xuzhou is close to the sea, which is a good place to train navy and has abundant seafood.

Compared to the Shu area, which relies on the mountains for its livelihood, the resources in the sea are undoubtedly much richer.

Moreover, Langya State in Xuzhou was his hometown, and the Zhuge family enjoyed great prestige in the local area.

After taking over Xuzhou, Liu Bei could quickly take control of Xuzhou.

As for the second problem of "talent shortage", the best way is to recruit and cultivate as many talents as possible!
Naturally, he had made sufficient preparations for this matter.

Just as he thought of this, a figure seven feet seven inches tall, with a beautiful beard and arms like an ape came behind Zhuge Liang and respectfully clasped his fists towards the young man:

"Military Advisor, according to your instructions, Pang Tong, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, and Xu Shu have all been invited to your residence.

"In addition, the letter sent to Changshan Zhending arrived yesterday. I believe there will be a reply soon."

Zhuge Liang turned around, looked at the muscular man in front of him, and bowed in return:

"Thank you for your hard work, brother."

The man called "Zi Yi" is none other than him.

It was none other than Taishi Ci, the famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty who rescued Kong Rong in Beihai and eliminated bandits in Jiangdong!

Although Taishi Ci joined Sun Ce and Sun Quan in the later period, he actually died long before the establishment of the Wu Kingdom.

Moreover, Taishi Ci did not join Sun Ce until he was in his thirties, and was actually loyal to the Han Dynasty for most of his life.

So strictly speaking, Taishi Ci can only be considered half a general of Eastern Wu.

If he is included, then after Sun Ce's death, the only ones who can be called fierce generals in Jiangdong are him and Gan Ning.

Taishi Ci shook his head:
"Military Advisor, you are very good at predicting things. If it weren't for your secret command, how could our army have captured Chen County and Liang County so easily?"

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan:

"It's just a small matter. Our future battles may become more and more difficult.

"But Liang believes that with Ziyi's help, our army will surely achieve long-term victory!"

Having said that, Zhuge Liang and Taishi Ci returned to the city chatting and laughing.

…………

Lujiang, Anhui city.

Before we knew it, it was already March.

As Lu Bu looked at Cai Yan chatting and laughing with the two Qiao sisters, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

After this period of treatment, Cai Yan's health has recovered.

Moreover, with him, Huang Yueying and others by her side, Cai Yan's face was obviously less melancholy than before. In order to improve the weak physiques of his women, he personally took time out to teach them to practice "Eight-Section Brocade".

This set of fitness exercises, invented in the Northern Song Dynasty, has excellent fitness and aphrodisiac effects.

In his previous life, Lu Bu would do this when he was tired from working at his desk, or after having sex with his girlfriend from Western Shu.

You can clearly feel a current of heat flowing through your limbs, filling your body and restoring your energy.

And the weaker your body is, the better the effect of exercise!

Cai Yan, the two Qiao sisters, Yan Qingqing, and the increasingly tall Lu Lingqi, all practiced with Lu Bu.

Only Huang Yueying, who was pregnant, was looking at them with a smile while drinking the hot tea poured by Dong Bai.

After completing the entire set of exercises, Cai Yan and others were pleasantly surprised to find that their bodies had indeed become warm, and they felt refreshed and full of energy!

Only Lu Lingqi looked at them suspiciously:

"Zundu, fake du? Why don't I feel anything at all?"

Huang Yueying explained with a smile:

"Didn't your father just say that the weaker the person, the better the effect.

"Ling'er, you have been learning martial arts since you were young, and you have a good physique, so naturally you won't feel it obviously."

Lu Lingqi said "Oh" in a not very smart way.

At this time, Chen Gong, wearing a blue cape and with a thin face, walked in and bowed to Lu Bu and said:
"My lord, the governor of Wuling, Jin Xuan, has sent an envoy, Gong Zhi, to propose marriage to you."

"Propose marriage?"

Hearing this, Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi frowned at the same time.

"Are you here to propose marriage to Lingqi again?"

Chen Gong noticed Lu Bu's unhappy expression and nodded slightly:
"Indeed. Jin Xuan has a son named Jin Yi, who is handsome and talented, and is well-known in Wuling County.

"If my lord is unwilling, I will reject it now."

"Wait a minute..."

Lu Bu called Chen Gong and turned to look at his daughter:
"Girl, what do you think?"

Lu Lingqi, who is already fourteen years old, is old enough to get married in this era.

Moreover, he knew very well that a big part of the purpose of Jin Xuan's visit this time was to become his relative.

In this way, Wuling County could avoid being taken over by him using forceful means.

If he could capture a county without bloodshed and find a good family for his daughter, Lu Bu would naturally be willing.

Of course, Wuling County can only be an additional thing, and the key depends on whether Lu Lingqi herself is willing.

Just when Lu Bu thought that Lu Lingqi would definitely refuse, the girl was silent for a long time, then lowered her head and said:
"It's all up to Daddy..."

Hearing this, not only Lu Bu, but even Yan Qingqing who was standing beside him felt surprised.

Is this still their daughter?
If I had encountered such a thing in the past, I would definitely have refused it immediately.

But today's reaction is quite strange...

Is it the first love?
Or has she grown up and realized that a political marriage can bring benefits to her father?
Lu Bu bent down sideways and looked at Lu Lingqi's expression.

There was no happiness on the little girl's face, instead she looked reluctant.

Lu Bu immediately understood his daughter's thoughts and waved his hand with a smile:

"Forget it. My precious daughter is still young, and I am reluctant to marry her off.

"But as for the refusal, I will personally go and say it!"

Lu Lingqi, who had her head lowered just now, suddenly raised her head, her delicate little face full of surprise and joy!
