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

Chapter 169: Lv Lingqi's First Expedition (Thanks to book friend 2024...6685 for the ten monthly tickets!)

As soon as Lu Bu finished speaking, Huang Zhong, whose face was like yellow jade and eyes were like copper bells, stood up immediately:

"My lord, I am willing to take on this battle!"

Everyone immediately looked at the old general with admiration.

I never thought that a group of young generals are not as passionate as an old veteran!
Perhaps because they felt ashamed, the other generals also requested to fight.

Lu Bu looked at the high-spirited generals with satisfaction, and finally fixed his gaze on Zhou Tai, Sun Ce, and Huang Zhong:
"Huang Zhong obeys the order!"

Hearing Lu Bu's shout, Huang Zhong immediately clasped his fists:

"The general is here!"

"You are the commander-in-chief, and Sun Ce and Zhou Tai are the deputy commanders. The three of you will lead a thousand elite cavalrymen and you must defeat the enemy!"

"The general will get the order!"

Huang Zhong was overjoyed and excited when he received the task.

I didn't expect that I would fight a battle as soon as I arrived under Lu Bu's command. It was much more fulfilling than my previous time in You County.

Moreover, after entering Lu Bu's territory this time, he finally understood what Chen Gong meant by "heaven and earth".

In Han Xuan's territory, he often saw the dry bones of people who starved to death on the road, or bodies chopped in half by bandits.

Even the common people in the city were mostly pale and thin.

The promotion of the curved plow and keel waterwheel has actually only been going on for a little over a year.

In many places, the resources have not been fully utilized. Even if they have been used, some people have starved to death before the harvest of the next year.

But after entering Lu Bu's territory, Huang Zhong saw almost no corpses of people who had starved to death, frozen to death, or been killed by bandits.

The people under Lu Bu's rule not only look better, but also have smiles on their faces and their eyes are shining with happiness!
This is almost impossible to see in Han Xuan's territory.

But under Lu Bu's rule, these are just the norm!
Huang Zhong believed that even if he had not surrendered to Lu Bu before, he would change his mind when passing through his territory.

Serving such a wise master, he is not only full of energy, but also full of pride in his heart!

Although Sun Ce served as a deputy general this time, he had no complaints.

After all, this time they are just bait, and there is not much difference between the main general and the deputy general.

As for Zhou Tai, he has always been a ruthless man of few words, and he would not have any thoughts about such a small matter.

The three of them immediately went to the military camp to select the soldiers they liked.

This battle is extremely difficult, and we must ensure that every soldier has excellent quality!
Following Lu Bu's suggestion, Huang Zhong and the other two began to select elite troops directly from Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

Today, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry has a strength of 5,000 people.

As Cao Cao blocked the war horse channels in the north, if Lu Bu wanted to purchase war horses, he could only obtain them from Liu Xie's side.

The price is several times more expensive than before.

It’s not that Liu Xie was deliberately making things difficult for him, but Cao Cao had purchased a large number of war horses, causing the price of the war horses to soar.

Not to mention Lu Bu, even Liu Xie himself would have to pay a high price to buy it.

If you want to form an excellent cavalry team, the quality of the war horses is undoubtedly crucial.

Although Lu Bu had never fought against Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

However, Gao Shun and Sun Ce, who had fought against them, both praised the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry for their bravery in not leaving the trapped camp.

The second special forces that Lu Bu wanted to form would start with the Bingzhou Cavalry.

Although the Bingzhou cavalry is powerful, there is still a big gap between them and the Xianzhen Camp.

If one wants to upgrade this team to a level comparable to that of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, it is necessary to select a small number of more elite people from these 5,000 people.

The one thousand people led by Huang Zhong who survive this time will form the backbone of the second special forces.

After that, we will give them a good configuration, increase their numbers little by little, and train them continuously, and sooner or later they will reach the level of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry or the Trap Camp!
But we have to wait until the war is over before we discuss this matter...

Lu Bu decided to go to Wuling with Huang Zhong and others.

He may not have been on the battlefield for a long time, so he needs to sharpen his skills occasionally.

Otherwise, this invincible martial arts will also decline.

What Lu Bu didn't expect was that when he went home and told his wives and concubines about the expedition, Lu Lingqi suddenly jumped out and pestered him to go to the front line for training.

Lu Bu originally wanted to refuse, but he considered that Jin Xuan, who was attacking this time, was not a strong enemy.

It is indeed a good opportunity to hone your skills.

It would be most dangerous if Lu Lingqi were to face peerless warriors like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei directly in the future.

Moreover, during this period, Lu Lingqi's martial arts improved further and she has reached the level of a second-rate general.

If he continues to hone his skills, he can reach the top level even among second-rate generals!

In addition, with Lu Lingqi's constant nagging, Lu Bu, who was somewhat of a daughter-slave, had no choice but to agree to the other party.

After all, Lu Bu was really looking forward to Lu Lingqi being able to share some of the pressure with him.

He also looked forward to the other party's performance on the battlefield, hoping that he could inherit all of his bravery and become the second "the most powerful general in the world"!
Of course, this is just his expectation. Whether she can achieve this depends on her own efforts.

Just like that, under Yan Qingqing's numerous instructions and warnings.

Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi, who kept saying "yeah", set out on the journey to Wuling County.

Before we knew it, it was already April.

The weather in early summer is a little hot, but still within an acceptable range.

Lu Bu followed Huang Zhong's 1,000 soldiers and came to Changsha County.

He didn't bring many soldiers with him because Gao Shun and others had already brought 30,000 soldiers with them.

Together with the 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers and horses each of the three counties possessed, it was enough to deal with Jin Xuan.

Jingzhou was a place that was fought over by military strategists, and it could be said to be the state with the highest strategic position among the Thirteen States in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Therefore, Lu Bu must capture Wuling County and unify the entire Jingzhou in order to maximize the strategic value of Jingzhou!
Lu Bu and his men went straight to Linxiang County, the seat of Changsha County.

Gao Shun had been waiting here for a long time, and the prefect Han Xuan also warmly welcomed Lu Bu's return.

"Uncle Gao~"

Lu Lingqi, wearing a set of slim silver armor, greeted Gao Shun with a smile.

Gao Shun opened his mouth wide, and looked at Lu Bu in surprise for a long time:

"Wen Hou, why did you bring Ling'er to the front line?"

Lu Lingqi puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and puffed out her well-developed chest:

"Uncle Gao~ I'm not a child anymore. I can contribute to my father and uncles!"

"Nonsense!"

Gao Shun frowned and scolded sternly.

To him, Lu Bu's family is his family.

And to him, Lu Lingqi is also half a niece!

It would be fine if they just had some minor fights in the military camp, but now they have come to the front line.

Going into battle and killing the enemy is no joke, it will really result in rivers of blood, broken limbs and arms, and there will be no return.

Lu Lingqi shuddered all over and hid behind Lu Bu in fear.

When Lu Bu saw Gao Shun's angry look, he smiled slightly.

When I first came here, I decided to treat Gao Shun as my own brother.

And Gao Shun, who lived a new life, obviously treated him as his own brother.

Otherwise, who among ordinary people would worry about your daughter's safety?

However, Lu Bu still squeezed Gao Shun's shoulder and comforted him:

"Don't worry, I'll watch over her myself.

"Besides, Lingqi is not an ordinary girl. Since she likes the atmosphere of the battlefield, let her adapt to it.

"Maybe in the future, she will bring us some big surprises!"
