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

Chapter 238: Madam Mi——Mi Zhen! (Thanks to TheSpark and Hua Lei for their monthly ticket support~)
Zhang Liao was surprised and delighted to hear Xun You say this:

"Appreciate further details!"

Xun You immediately came before Lu Bu and Zhang Liao and whispered the plan to them.

After listening to this, Lü Bu and Zhang Liao smiled at each other:
"Gongda's plan is indeed brilliant! If this plan works, our army will have another great general!"

The three of them burst into laughter and immediately clinked glasses until they were drunk.

Afterwards, Zhang Liao stayed in Lujiang for a few days and then took Zhou Yu to Ba County.

With Zhou Yu giving advice to Zhang Liao, Lu Bu could feel completely at ease.

As for Xun You, Lu Bu regarded him as his teacher and friend.

Although he has no actual position, he holds an honorable position and can be by his side to offer advice.

Xun You was also quite satisfied with this.

……

On this day, Lu Bu was preparing to go to the mine to check the iron ore needed to build the "Iron Pagoda".

As the territory expanded, Gao Shun's trap camp alone was no longer enough to support all the battlefields.

Therefore, the second special cavalry unit has already been put on the agenda.

After this period of training.

Of the original 5,000 Bingzhou cavalry, Lu Bu selected another 700 men and added them to the 300 elite troops that remained from the previous attack on Jinxuan.

It just made up the total of one thousand.

The physical fitness of these 1,000 cavalrymen is sufficient, but their equipment is not sophisticated enough.

Originally, Lu Bu didn't know in which direction to develop this second special forces unit.

But recently he suddenly thought of a kind of heavy cavalry from the later Jin Dynasty - Tiefutuyin!
Also known as "Iron Pagoda" or "Iron Pagoda".

Iron Pagoda not only refers to heavy cavalry, but also has matching formations.

The "图" in "铁浮图" has the same meaning as the "图" in "八阵图", both referring to a formation.

However, the Iron Pagoda has a very high armor coverage rate, with only its two eyes almost exposed on its body, similar to the barbarians' rattan armor soldiers.

But the rattan armor of the rattan armor soldiers is obviously lighter, and the armor of the Iron Pagoda is undoubtedly very heavy.

The physical fitness requirements for soldiers are extremely high.

Of course, if the soldiers can successfully control the Iron Pagoda, this special cavalry will be invincible on the battlefield!
However, in order to achieve such a high armor coverage rate, even the horses would have to be almost fully covered with armor, which would require a large amount of iron.

And each man and horse requires nearly one hundred kilograms of iron!

In this era, one pound of iron ore can produce about half a pound of pig iron, and one pound of pig iron can produce about seven ounces of wrought iron.

Plus some losses in the iron smelting process...

One thousand sets of iron pagodas require at least 300,000 kilograms, or 300 tons, of iron ore!

Fortunately, there are rich iron ore resources in the southern part of Lujiang.

But according to current mining technology, if you want to mine 300 tons of iron ore, transport it to the iron smelting furnace, refine it into wrought iron, and finally build and assemble armor...

It will take at least half a year in total!

Therefore, in the short term, it is difficult for Lu Bu to see the advent of the Iron Pagoda.

When Lu Bu came back from inspecting the mine and was about to go to the city for a meal.

Suddenly, I saw a moving figure in front of a noodle shop.

The other person looked to be about 28 years old. She was wearing a light green shirt with her sleeves fluttering in the wind, and her figure was graceful and elegant.

A pair of big watery eyes were staring intently into the noodle shop.

It seems like he wants to go in, but he doesn't dare to because there are so many people...

Lu Bu has always been able to recognize a beautiful woman at first sight. After all, beauties in ancient times all have their own beauty and characteristics.

It’s completely different from those internet celebrities’ faces who look almost identical with their makeup today!
So Lu Bu recognized her at a glance. This person was none other than Mi Zhen, the sister of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, who had been taken away from the Mi family in Donghai Kingdom some time ago!
Mi Fang had previously said that she wanted to marry her sister to him and form an alliance with Lu Bu.

Now that Lu Bu had already slept with Zhuge Liang’s wife in his previous life, he naturally didn’t mind sleeping with Liu Bei’s wife again.

Soon, Mi Zhen saw his shadow being obscured by an even taller shadow.

She subconsciously raised her head and happened to meet a pair of fierce and powerful eyes.

In an instant, the girl was frightened and screamed, then she trotted forward two steps and hugged the pillar in front of her.

Then he turned around cautiously and found that the person standing behind him was a handsome man with sharp eyes and a nose like a jade pillar!
The other person wore a bright silver crown, with two iconic pheasant tails fluttering in the wind.

It was the Lord of Yangzhou, whom she had secretly glanced at while sitting in the carriage - Wenhou Lu Fengxian!

At first, Mi Zhen was reluctant when she heard that her brother wanted to marry her to Lu Bu.

But after all, her brother is like her father, so even if she is a daughter from a wealthy family, she does not have much say in marriage.

But when she saw Lu Bu's heroic figure in the carriage, she thought that marrying this man might not be a bad idea...

Lu Bu smiled and invited the vigilant girl:
"Can I treat you to a bowl of noodles?"

Hearing these tempting words, Mi Zhen's beautiful eyes lit up instantly.

She rubbed her hungry belly and nodded directly at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu didn't expect the girl to agree so readily.

He smiled and waved to her, then walked into the busy noodle shop with the delicate and graceful girl.

As soon as I walked into the noodle shop, the waiter came to greet me.

After seeing Lu Bu's attire, he recognized his identity at a glance and nodded in surprise:

"Lord Wenhou's presence has really brought honor to our store! My shopkeeper has instructed that all your purchases in our store will be free of charge!"

When the guests heard that Wen Hou had arrived, they all looked at Lu Bu excitedly.

There was even a girl who was in love and called out softly:

"Ahhh... Lord Wenhou is so handsome~ I want to be Lord Wenhou's dog..."

Seeing the reactions of the people around her, Mi Zhen couldn't help but look at the man in surprise.

Who would have thought that this high and mighty Marquis Wen would be so popular among the common people.

He's quite charming.

Facing the enthusiastic people, Lu Bu gave them a wry smile and nodded.

There was no other choice but to teach them how to use the curved plow and keel waterwheel, allowing them to live a thousand times more comfortably than before.

They will naturally treat themselves as heroes or even their own fathers.

Lu Bu asked the waiter to prepare a separate room for him and walked in with Mi Zhen.

Although it is impossible to completely block out the noise outside the door, it is much quieter than before.

Lu Bu and Mi Zhen sat down face to face at the small table.

Mi Zhen habitually knelt and sat with an elegant and dignified posture.

But Lu Bu didn't like kneeling, so he just sat down cross-legged, supporting his chin with his hand, looking at the beauty opposite him.

Mi Zhen felt the other party's burning gaze, lowered his head and asked in a low voice:

"Why is Lord Wen looking at me like that?"

Lu Bu stared at the other's snow-white and sexy collarbone and smiled slightly:
"I'm looking at my future daughter-in-law, is there anything wrong?"

Hearing these provocative words, Mi Zhen's heart suddenly started beating fast, and the two fingers under the table had already been shyly intertwined:
"Then, when does Lord Wen plan to... marry me?"
