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

Chapter 485: Confidence Increased! (Thanks to Yaya713, Book Friends 2024…8125 for their monthly tickets~)

Seeing their husbands agree, the women were immediately delighted.

At this time, Mi Zhen suggested that everyone draw lots to decide.

Yan Qingqing then wrote the names of all the girls, including Cao Yuan, on a piece of paper.

Then it was placed in a wooden box, and Lu Bu drew lots himself.

Of course, Xiao Qiao, who was pregnant and unable to travel far, was not among them.

Seeing the girls' high interest, Lu Bu could only cooperate by reaching into the wooden box and randomly grabbing a piece of paper.

The name "Huang Yueying" was clearly written on it.

Huang Yueying blinked in surprise, and then smiled even brighter than her son Lu Xuan in her arms.

The other women cast envious glances.

Only Xiao Qiao propped up her chin with both hands, looking like a little complaining woman...

Lu Bu looked at the girls' expectant eyes, smiled and shook his head, then took out the second note.

What no one expected was that the name on the second note was actually Cao Yuan!
Cao Yuan, with tears still hanging from her lips, obviously didn't expect that she would be chosen.

Although I was happy inside, I didn't dare to show it.

She just glanced at the other women secretly, fearing that these sisters would be angry with her.

Fortunately, under Lu Bu's training, his wives and concubines have always been quite harmonious.

Even if I feel uncomfortable, I won't show it openly.

But except for Huang Yueying and Cao Yuan, the other women all looked obviously disappointed.

Lu Bu could only smile and comfort:

“Okay, okay, those who got caught this time will not participate in the drawing of lots next time.

“Everyone will have a chance.”

After hearing this, the wives and concubines who didn’t win the lottery felt a little better.

Since Cao Yuan could go to Pei State with him, Lu Bu was no longer in a hurry to deflower her.

Look at this little crybaby, she loves to cry. If you hurt her accidentally, it will probably take a long time to comfort her.

Only by proceeding step by step and letting the other person gradually accept it will the other person not cry too much.

Lu Bu spent the whole afternoon with his wives and concubines, and asked Cao Yuan and Huang Yueying to pack their luggage.

The next morning, after Liu Ye prepared 20,000 troops and various supplies, Lu Bu took Cao Yuan, Huang Yueying and his son Lu Xuan and went straight to Pei State.

the other side.

Jincheng County, north of Longxi County, was garrisoned by Wei Yan with an army of 30,000.

Sun Ce led an army of 40,000 to garrison Longxi County.

Wudu County was handed over to Yan Liang, Xu You and Feng Ji to guard.

The original commander of Jincheng County was named Yan Xing.

Although he was Han Sui's son-in-law, he had an unharmonious relationship with his father-in-law.

After learning this information, Zhou Yu went there in person to lobby and successfully persuaded the other party to surrender.

Because Jincheng County was captured without bloodshed, the 10,000 garrison troops originally in its capital, Yunwu City, were also incorporated by Wei Yan.

The people in the city quickly settled down.

Therefore, Wei Yan began to think about attacking the next county.

Lu Bu specifically ordered Guo Jia to come and assist him to prevent Wei Yan from making mistakes due to impulse.

Wei Yan knew that Guo Jia was quite favored by Lu Bu, so he also respected him very much.

As time gradually approached the end of August, Wei Yan knew that the weather was going to get cold.

If we fail to launch an attack before winter comes, the war will become increasingly difficult when winter comes. If we want to attack again, we will have to wait until the beginning of next spring.

Therefore, Wei Yan immediately invited Guo Jia to the prefect's mansion.

Ask him whether the next step is to attack Wuwei County or cooperate with Sun Ce to attack Hanyang County.

At this moment, Guo Jia had not drunk alcohol for a long time after a long period of recuperation.

Although his beautiful maidservant was still by his side, his complexion was much brighter than before.

After all, drinking alcohol damages the liver, and eating and sex damages the kidneys.

But relatively speaking, the kidneys are easier to maintain than the liver.

The liver is responsible for detoxification. As long as the liver is healthy, toxins including those produced by the kidneys can be effectively eliminated.

And there are many more common things that can replenish the kidneys.

As long as he exercises a little restraint and uses the method of replenishing yin and yang taught by Mr. Chu to nourish his body, his kidneys will not have any major problems.

Therefore, the whole person's mental state will become more full.

Facing Wei Yan's doubts, Guo Jia closed the folding fan in his hand and replied with a smile:

“If General Wenchang wants to be more cautious, cooperating with Sun Bofu to capture Hanyang together would be the best choice.

“However, the one guarding Hanyang County is the famous Xiliang general Ma Chao, and I heard that he is also accompanied by the General Huangfu Song.

“Even if Wenchang and Bofu join forces, it won’t be easy to take over Hanyang County.

“Therefore, I think it would be better for Wen Chang to pick the weak spot and attack Wuwei County where Han Sui is stationed.

“Once Wuwei County is taken, the five places to the west of Wuwei County, namely Zhangye County, Zhangye State, Zhangye Juyan State, Jiuquan County, and Dunhuang County, will lose contact with the imperial court!
"As long as time passes and our army has sufficient manpower and the pressure we apply is great enough, these five places will surrender without a fight!

"In this way, the general can make great achievements!"

After listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Wei Yan suddenly became excited!
However, he is not a brainless person and he knows that hard work pays off.

Since the contribution is so great, how could it be so easy to take over Wuwei County?

Wei Yan restrained his smile and continued to ask:
"What the military advisor said is quite touching. But how could the court not know the importance of Wuwei County?

“Although Han Sui is not as good as Ma Chao, he is also a brave man.

“And according to the spies’ report, Wuwei County has a full 40,000 troops, while ours is only 30,000.

“Although there are still 20,000 troops on the way, at least 10,000 people will need to stay behind to defend the city.

"Forty thousand against forty thousand. The enemy still has the advantage of the city. Even if our army has weapons like gunpowder jars, it will probably be difficult to win..."

Seeing Wei Yan speaking of his difficulties with a sad face, Guo Jia smiled admiringly and said:

“I didn’t expect that the extremely brave General Bunaga would have such an expression.

"It seems that Wen Chang has grown a lot during this time of leading Yizhou."

Wei Yan smiled bitterly:
"Military Advisor, please stop making fun of me and teach me how to capture Wuwei County!"

Guo Jiale laughed, then took out a map from his sleeve, spread it out on the table and said:
“To capture Wuwei County is actually not as difficult as imagined.

"First, General Bofu has 40,000 soldiers and horses, while Ma Chao's Hanyang Commandery has 30,000 soldiers and horses.

“Because Longxi County is only connected to Hanyang County, General Bofu can leave only 5,000 soldiers to guard the city.

"Of the remaining 35,000 troops, 25,000 can be used to feint an attack on Hanyang County to contain Ma Chao.

“The other 10,000 troops, plus the upcoming 20,000 troops, can all be gathered here.

“In this way, we will have 60,000 troops on our side.

“At that time, you can leave 5,000 troops to guard the city, and the general will lead 55,000 troops to attack Wuwei County.

"After that, if we use some strategies, it won't be that difficult to take over Wuwei County."

After listening to Guo Jia's deployment of troops, Wei Yan's confidence suddenly increased!
