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

Chapter 33 Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue (Thanks to Brother Bai Du for the monthly ticket support~)
Lu Bu selected a small and exquisite jade pendant with cloud pattern for Cai Wenji.

Cai Wenji took the jade pendant and immediately understood what the other party meant.

The cloud pattern pendant symbolizes "purity and changeability".

Wen Hou hoped that she could maintain her purity while being less dull and more lively.

Cai Wenji bowed to Lu Bu:

"Thank you, Lord Wen."

Lu Bu looked at Cai Wenji's gentle face and subconsciously reached out and rubbed her head.

Such an intimate action seemed nothing to Lu Bu, but when it fell into Cai Wenji's eyes, it made her heart tremble!
A feeling of shame accompanied by inexplicable emotions surged in my heart.

What disappointed her was that the other party didn't seem to have any other intentions and turned around and walked away.

Looking at the other person's tall and charming back, Cai Wenji sighed silently...

However, all her expressions were seen by Yan Qingqing.

Lu Bu bought another gold armband from the shop and walked in front of the maid Xiaobai.

Xiaobai obviously didn't expect that he would also have a gift. He looked at the man who was half a body taller than him in surprise.

The oppressive feeling brought by his tall stature and the terrifying aura accumulated from killing countless enemies made her heart tremble unconsciously.

Lu Bu handed her the gold armband in his hand, and said in a gentle voice:
"Your arms are thin and white. This will look great on you."

Xiaobai carefully took the gift from Lu Bu with a complicated look.

But after a moment's silence, she still put it on her forearm.

The next moment, her eyes lit up slightly.

It was indeed as the other party said, the golden silk ring and the white arm complemented each other, emitting an attractive luster.

It makes the already slender arms look even more symmetrical.

Xiaobai looked up at the man and whispered:
"Thank you, sir..."

Lu Bu raised his hand and patted her head, smiling and said:
"You're welcome."

Seeing Xiaobai lower his head again with a complicated expression, a strange light flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, but he didn't say much.

……

That night.

Lu Bu brought Yan Qingqing and Lu Lingqi back home and saw Liu Ye waiting in the teahouse.

Lu Bu was a little surprised and asked immediately:
"How long have you been waiting? If you have something urgent to do, why don't you send someone to find me on the street?"

Liu Ye laughed:
"I didn't wait long, and it's not urgent."

Lu Bu asked the other party to sit down again and personally poured him a cup of tea.

Liu Ye was flattered and quickly stood up to take the tea.

After a brief greeting, Liu Ye took out a blueprint from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Bu.

When seeing this blueprint, Lu Bu appeared surprised but there was not much excitement inside.

As a veteran fan of the Three Kingdoms, he is well aware of the deeds of these important figures.

In addition to his extraordinary intelligence, Liu Ye also had an important invention related to it - the Thunderbolt Chariot!

Of course, related to this, it was not invented by the other party.

It is an improved version of the catapult by an inventor named "Ma Jun".

Lu Bu looked at the machine that looked like a catapult on the blueprint.

Compared with previous catapults, the Thunderbolt Chariot is smaller in height and size.

But the ejection force is stronger, the load capacity is larger, and the projection range is wider.

Lu Bu has been waiting for the other party to present this blueprint.

The other party had not offered it to him before, probably because he had some concerns.

But now that it has finally been dedicated to him, it should be a sign of my recognition of him from the bottom of my heart.

Lu Bu smiled and said:

"I didn't expect that the military advisor is also a hidden inventor!" Liu Ye laughed, but then shook his head:
“Compared to the lord’s invention, this is undoubtedly a small thing.

"And this Thunderbolt Car was not invented by me, but was improved by a friend of mine."

"Oh?"

Lu Bu's eyes flickered with anticipation:

"I wonder where your friend is now? If he could be recruited into our army, wouldn't it be a great help?"

Liu Ye smiled bitterly:
"My friend is so absorbed in his invention that he doesn't want to be born into the world.

"When he has a good invention in the future, we will go and take advantage of him."

Lu Bu was a little disappointed, but he knew very well that some geniuses just liked to be alone.

Once you leave the environment you like, you may lose your talent and spirituality.

Lu Bu looked at the Thunderbolt Chariot blueprint in his hand again and asked:
“How long will it take to build one?”

Liu Ye took a sip of tea to moisten his throat:

"It takes ten days to build one, and three are enough to attack a city."

Lu Bu nodded slightly:

"So, we can take action against Jiang Xia in another month?"

"Yes."

Liu Ye put down the cup in his hand:
"We can first secretly transport the food and fodder to Qichun County.

"The enemy is stationed in E County, which is adjacent to Qichun County, and the number of the garrison is about 4,000.

"If we strike quickly before the other side can react, combined with the Thunderbolt Chariot, we can capture E County in a short time!
"Then we will use E County as our base and march towards Xiling County, the seat of Jiangxia.

"If we can successfully take this place, the rest of the county won't be a problem!"

After listening to Liu Ye's general plan, Lu Bu nodded slightly, then thought of something and asked:

"I heard that Liu Biao has two senior advisers, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue. I wonder who is better between them and you?"

Liu Ye sneered:
“I see that these two people have empty wisdom but no real talent.

"Two brothers often disagree, nothing to be afraid of!"

Seeing Liu Ye's confidence, Lu Bu also gained more confidence:

"In this case, we only need one condition to attack Jiangxia!"

The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

The condition is: have a legitimate reason to start the war!
All the princes are still nominally subjects of the Han Dynasty.

If you don't have enough motivation to send troops, you will be criticized.

People at that time were very particular about reputation.

Unless they don't mind having their reputation ruined, they will try to find a suitable excuse to send troops.

Liu Ye stroked his goatee:
"Liu Biao has been amassing a lot of wealth in Jingzhou, and he plans to offer it to the imperial court in the future in order to gain a higher position.

"If we can do something about this matter, our army will have a reason to go out on the expedition."

Hearing that Liu Ye had prepared everything, Lu Bu truly felt physically and mentally relaxed.

It is really a relief to have a shrewd and capable counselor to take care of most of the things for you:
"In that case, I'll trouble you, Military Advisor, to take care of this matter.

"As for the secret allocation of food and troops, leave it to me."

"Here!"

……

The seat of Jiangxia is Xiling County.

In the prefectural government warehouse.

A white-haired official who looked to be in his fifties looked at the piles of money in front of him and couldn't help but sigh:
"I never thought that I, Liu Jingsheng, would one day do something to make money..."

The person who spoke was the current governor of Jingzhou - Liu Biao, Liu Jingsheng.

Standing behind him was a pair of brothers in white clothes. They were none other than Liu Biao’s senior advisers – Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue!
