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

Chapter 456 Reward! (Thanks to Zhaixingloudao, Kongchenglaoge, and HellGhostKiss for the three monthly tickets~)
After listening to Qin Mi's advice, Lu Bu slapped his knee:

"Good! Xiaofu is indeed very suitable.

“In this case, I will hold a banquet tonight to announce the subsequent personnel changes.

"Zi Chi, send someone to Pengcheng State to call Xiaofu over, and try to get here before dark."

"Here!"

Qin Mi stood up and responded, then said goodbye and left.

Lu Bu lay on a blanket made of animal fur and soon fell asleep.

Lu Bu slept very deeply this time, and even dreamed that the old man with a rattan stick he had met before was laughing at him loudly.

Then he dreamed of his family from his previous life whom he hadn’t seen for several years, and they said they missed him very much…

When Lu Bu suddenly woke up from his dream, he felt a deep melancholy surge in his heart.

Everything seems like a dream and a passing cloud.

He fell into a state of mental impotence where everything was meaningless...

However, as consciousness gradually became clearer, this feeling of weakness gradually faded away.

It seems that he hasn't touched a woman for too long, causing him to feel a little depressed.

When I get back this time, I will make up for it with Er Qiao and the others and stimulate my condition...

Just as Lu Bu was daydreaming, familiar footsteps were heard outside the tent.

Everyone's footsteps have certain characteristics, fast or slow, quick or slow, with a certain rhythm and movement.

So Lu Bu instantly recognized that it was Gao Shun's footsteps.

As expected, Gao Shun's voice rang out the next second:
"My Lord, are you awake?"

When he heard Gao Shun's voice, Lu Bu suddenly felt a sense of closeness in his heart.

He can no longer see his relatives from his previous life.

In this life, Gao Shun, who is absolutely loyal to him, is the person he feels closest to besides his wives, concubines and children.

Lu Bu immediately replied:

"It's Xiaofu, come in quickly."

Gao Shun immediately lifted the curtain and walked in, his dignified yet handsome face showing a hint of tiredness.

Obviously, after receiving Lu Bu's order, he rushed here without stopping.

The horse he rode was exactly Zhang Fei's mount - Wuzhuima, also known as Wuyuntashuexue.

That's why I was able to get here so quickly.

Gao Shun saw that Lü Bu seemed a little tired, and asked with concern:

"Just now I heard from Qin Biejia that you were defeated by Zhuge Liang, my lord. What happened? Are you not injured?"

Lu Bu stood up from the blanket, smiled bitterly and sighed:

"I'm fine, but we lost half of our troops. It's a disastrous defeat..."

Then, Lu Bu told Gao Shun the general situation.

Gao Shun's face darkened and he couldn't help but curse:

"This Zhuge Liang is really full of tricks!

"If you have the guts, just fight us head-on. Thinking of those little tricks all day is really disgusting!"

Lu Bu walked up to Gao Shun, patted his shoulders habitually with both hands, and said with relief:
"Victory and defeat are common in the military. This time I also lost 10,000 enemy soldiers and wiped out more than 10,000.

"Apart from getting more food and supplies, their losses were not much less than ours.

"If we miss this opportunity, Liu Bei's army will have another chance to catch its breath. This is the real headache..."

Gao Shun raised his eyebrows and said:
"Why not gather our troops again and attack them again?
"As long as we are fully prepared, we will definitely have a chance to conquer Langya Kingdom!
"In terms of national strength, Liu Bei's army is far inferior to us now!"

Looking at Gao Shun's confident expression, Lu Bu shook his head slightly:
"This battle has been going on for nearly two months, and the soldiers are quite tired." And now it is early summer, and the weather is starting to get hot.

"Soldiers will complain if they fight in an uncomfortable environment for a long time."

After hearing what Lu Bu said, Gao Shun realized that the other party didn't want to fight anymore for the time being, so he could only fall into silence.

Lü Bu smiled, put his arm around the man's shoulders, and walked out of the tent:

"I called Xiaofu here this time because I intend to hand over the position of Xuzhou Mu to you..."

Before Lu Bu could finish his words, Gao Shun suddenly froze and looked at him in astonishment.

The next moment, he waved his hands in panic:

"No, no, no, how can I be qualified to take on such an important position as the governor of Xuzhou?
"I am only fit to stay by my lord's side and obey his orders!"

Seeing Gao Shun like this, Lu Bu laughed:
"Father Xiao, are you afraid? You are the second in command of our army, and it's time to improve your ability to manage a region.

"If anything unexpected happens to me in the future, you can take the blame for me."

Hearing such an ominous word, Gao Shun was immediately startled and hurriedly stopped him:
"My Lord, what nonsense are you talking about? If something happens to you, who will be able to defend this half of the country?"

Lu Bu said sincerely:
“No one knows which will come first, an accident or tomorrow, so we must always make some preparations.

"You will guard Xuzhou, Wenyuan will guard Jingzhou, Wenchang will guard Yizhou, Bofu will guard Yuzhou, Hansheng will guard Yangzhou, and Shixie will guard Jiaozhou.

"As long as you don't conflict with each other and help each other, you still have a chance to fight against Zhuge Liang."

Gao Shun heard this and waved his hand without hesitation:

"Absolutely impossible! It is because of Lord Chu that we can come together.

"By then, without Lord Chu to oppose Zhuge Liang, we will be nothing but a pile of scattered sand.

"Sooner or later, they will be attacked from the outside by Zhuge Liang, or Bofu and Wenchang will establish their own territories, and it will be difficult for anyone to mobilize them.

"So Lord Chu, don't think too much. Without you, the entire Chu State will be in danger!"

After hearing Gao Shun's words, Lu Bu's expression suddenly became complicated:

"What you said does make sense... However, the position of Xuzhou Mu still belongs to you.

"Not just to develop your ability to govern a state, but for other reasons as well.

"You will know at the banquet tonight."

As he said that, Lu Bu took the lead in lifting the curtain and walked out.

It was already evening.

Lu Bu ordered people to prepare for the banquet, and at the same time asked people to call Chang Xi, Yin Li and other generals to attend the banquet.

About an hour later, the central military tent was already full of people.

Chang Xi and Yin Li sat on Lu Bu's left, both of them with excitement and anticipation on their faces.

Because the Duke of Chu had already promised them that the official positions promised to them would be announced tonight.

By then, their lives will reach an unprecedented peak!
However, Chang Xi noticed that sitting on Lu Bu's right was a general with a very good temperament.

I had never seen him in the barracks before, and it seemed that he had only arrived in the evening.

I don't know who this person is...

As everyone who was supposed to arrive arrived, Lu Bu stood up with the wine jar in his hand and said to everyone:

“Today’s banquet is not a celebration banquet, but a welcoming banquet for Generals Chang Xi and Yin Li.

“Although our army was defeated by Zhuge Liang at Langya Primary School this time.

“But Generals Chang Xi and Yin Li turned from evil to good and helped our army return in time.

“This has greatly reduced our military’s losses.

"Therefore, I have decided to appoint General Chang Xi as the governor of Xuzhou and concurrently the general of the Yamen!
"Appoint General Yin Li as the governor of Nanyang and a lieutenant general!"
