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

Chapter 365 Wu Yi’s sister——Wu Xian!
As Liu Mao decided to surrender, all the civil and military officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When Lu Bu heard the news, he was also very happy and immediately led his army to Chengdu to meet Liu Mao.

Liu Mao had himself tied up and went outside the city to surrender to Lu Bu.

Seeing Liu Mao's sincerity, Lu Bu untied the rope for him and said with a smile:

"Liu Yizhou is the ruler of a state, why is he so servile?"

Hearing this, Liu Mao's eyes couldn't help but moisten a little:
"How dare a defeated subject call himself the Lord?"

Lu Bu pinched Liu Mao's shoulder and said comfortingly:

"This is God's will, not man's fault. As long as Liu Yizhou manages Sichuan and Shu well, he will surely become extremely rich!"

Sichuan is a fertile land with high productivity and development potential.

Moreover, there are many mountains, mines and resources here, whether it is Shu brocade or well salt, there is plenty of them here.

If he could occupy Yizhou, it would be enough to divide the world into three parts, plus his Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and Yangzhou.

These four states have already occupied half of the country!

While Lu Bu was secretly delighted, he caught a glimpse of a stunningly beautiful woman in a silk dress standing behind Liu Mao!

I saw that the other person's slender hands folded on her lower abdomen were as white as snow, with slender and delicate fingers, gentle and elegant temperament, and extremely soft posture.

At this moment, the woman was also secretly looking at Lu Bu.

Seeing Lu Bu looking over, the woman lowered her head quickly like a frightened deer.

Liu Mao looked back following Lu Bu's gaze and his expression changed slightly.

This woman was naturally his wife and also Wu Yi’s sister—Wu Xian!
His father said that this girl had the potential to be very noble, so he asked him to marry her.

Although he did inherit his father's position later, he has now become the leader of a defeated army.

I don't know if Wu Xian doesn't have the appearance of a lucky wife, or if it's just not him who is lucky...

Seeing Lu Bu staring at Wu Xian at this moment, Liu Mao suddenly thought of some rumors about Lu Bu's lust.

In addition, the other party might have heard about the rumors about Wu Xian. Would he be suspicious of me because of this?
Thinking of this, Liu Mao hurriedly came to Lu Bu's side and introduced in a low voice:
"This is my humble concubine, Wu. If Lord Chu is interested, I am willing to give her to him."

Lu Bu's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Liu Mao in surprise:

"How could I be the kind of person who would steal someone's love? Liu Yizhou, please don't say anything more."

Seeing what Lu Bu said, Liu Mao could only nod in agreement.

But deep down, he had already begun to think about divorcing his wife to save himself...

Lu Bu looked at Wu Xian again and had no other thoughts.

He was not as superstitious as Liu Mao and others, who thought that he would become the emperor if he married Wu Xian.

After all, didn’t Liu Mao in history also die of madness after marrying Wu Xian?

Even if Liu Bei did not marry Wu Xian later, he would still become the emperor of Shu Han.

The rumors about Wu Xian seemed more like a pretext fabricated by Liu Bei for his enthronement.

When Lu Bu saw Wu Xian, he just thought of her brother Wu Yi who had asked Zhang Liao to tell him when he died in battle.

If his sister is captured in the future, he can spare her life.

Lu Bu felt that Wu Yi's death was a pity.

But if he didn't die, Wu Xian might be killed by Liu Mao.

Therefore, Wu Yi should not ask for help from himself, but from Liu Mao...

With the surrender of Liu Mao, all the remaining counties in Guanghan County also surrendered.

In addition, the three counties of Guanghan, Shu County, and Shu County all surrendered.

But what made Lu Bu unhappy was the area of ​​Nanzhong where the other five counties, namely Yuexi County, Zangke County, Jianwei County, Yizhou County and Yongchang County, were located.

It was actually occupied by the Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo, and was unwilling to surrender!
Lu Bu originally planned to recover Nanzhong in one fell swoop, but he considered that Nanzhong was a barren land.

With Deng Zhi's death due to acclimatization, other soldiers going to Nanzhong might encounter the same situation. In addition, the northern part of Yizhou had just been settled, and the fighting had lasted for several months. Lu Bu finally decided to rest for a while before making further plans.

With Liu Mao's surrender, Qin Mi, who had been captured before, was naturally released by Lu Bu.

But Qin Mi was very dissatisfied with Lu Bu, so he resigned from his post and left the country.

Although Lu Bu admired Qin Mi's talent, he also knew the other party's current mood and could only let him go.

After a while, when his anger has subsided, I will find an opportunity to invite him to join the government...

For the next period of time, Lu Bu stayed in Chengdu for a while.

After all, his girlfriend from Xishu in his previous life was from Chengdu, so he also has a special feeling for this place.

On this day, Lu Bu was selecting a batch of high-quality Shu brocade given to him by Liu Mao in the courtyard.

I plan to take it back and make some fine clothes for my wives, concubines and children.

At this time, Kuai Liang, the chief priest, came in and said to Lü Bu:
"My lord, there is a monk outside the city who wants to see you."

"Monk?"

Lu Bu glanced at Kuai Liang and a hint of doubt emerged in his mind.

Although Buddhism developed rapidly during this period with the help of the Danyang tyrant Zuo Rong, it should not have extended to Sichuan and Shu, right?

In Yizhou, there is the Five Pecks of Rice Sect in Hanzhong County, and there are many people who believe in Taoism here.

I haven't heard of anyone here who believes in Buddhism.

In his previous life, Lu Bu had seen some monks and nuns in the temple in his hometown.

They don't love money as much as you might imagine, but there is some pretentiousness in their words.

After all, not every monk can become a great monk like Jigong...

Lu Bu didn't think much about it and asked Kuai Liang to invite the man in.

Not long after, a bald man wearing Confucian robes instead of monk's robes walked in.

Seeing the other party's weird appearance, more doubts arose in Lu Bu's heart.

But soon, a person's name came to mind.

However, Lu Bu did not ask the other party's name directly, but asked with a smile:

"I wonder why the monk has come?"

The visitor was stunned for a moment, then stood up straight, smiled bitterly and bowed:

"Mr. Chu has misunderstood. I am not a monk.

"It's just that I was slandered before, and Liu Mao's brother Liu Zhang sentenced me to the punishment of 'tongue and clamp', shaving off my hair and beard.

"That's why I'm in this state now..."

Hearing that the other party's answer was exactly the same as what he guessed, Lu Bu laughed with full energy:
"So, you are the former secretary of Yizhou, Peng Ying, Peng Yongnian?"

Peng Ying raised his forehead suddenly and looked at Lu Bu in surprise:

"How did Lord Chu know my name?"

Lu Bu smiled excitedly and said:
"When I entered Sichuan, I heard that there were many famous people in Yizhou.

"In addition to Qin Mi and Qin Zichi, I have also heard of your name, Peng Ying and Peng Yongnian.

“Naturally, I also heard about your torture.

"You are here today, Yongnian. Do you want to work under me?"

Peng Ying had never expected that Lu Bu actually knew him so well. A touch of respect surged in his heart, even though he was always so arrogant:
“I have heard for a long time that the Duke of Chu has never harmed the people since he entered the country, so I know that the Duke of Chu is a wise and benevolent ruler.

"If Lord Chu does not give up, I am willing to persuade Qin Mi to come with him to serve you!"
