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

Chapter 501: Xiongnu Chanyu! (Thanks to the monthly ticket from book friend 2023…6207~)

When Lu Bu woke up, he suddenly felt someone playing with his fingers.

He opened his sleepy eyes and looked into the eyes of the woman on the bed.

The next moment, Xiao Qiao suddenly snorted and turned his head to the side.

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that the other party was angry with him.

I guess she was angry because I wasn't around when she got into trouble.

After understanding the reason, Lu Bu took the other's soft hand and put it on his face, and apologized gently:

"I'm sorry, it was my husband who couldn't come back at the critical moment...

"But I didn't expect that you would fall down suddenly.

"It's all my fault for not spending enough time with you. You can punish me however you want.

"I just beg you not to get angry and hurt yourself... After all, we haven't named our daughter yet."

Listening to her husband's apology, Xiao Qiao's already soft heart could not withstand the sweet words of a modern man.

Especially when she heard that the child had not been named yet, her attention was instantly diverted.

But after hearing that she had given birth to a daughter, she couldn't help but frown and looked at her husband disappointedly:
"My dear husband, why did I suffer for so long, but the only thing I gave birth to was a daughter...

"In that case, how can I compare with Sister Yueying's son?"

Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Bu's eyes.

I thought the sisters were very harmonious with each other, but I didn't expect that they would still fight openly and secretly.

It seems that I was too optimistic...

But he did not blame Xiao Qiao. Instead, he pinched her little face and said with a smile:

“To be honest, sons can certainly have the right of inheritance, but I actually like daughters more.

“Daughters are more considerate than sons, and they will be more pleasing to the eye when they grow up.

"Most importantly, they don't have to participate in the struggle for power as much as men do.

"Wouldn't it be nice to live a life without worries?

"Even if you really want to compete with your sister Yueying, if we have the chance in the future, why don't we have another son?
“We can fight, but we must not let it affect our feelings for each other.

“Appropriate competition can promote mutual progress, but excessive competition will only hurt each other’s feelings.

"If that's the case, your son will lose his inheritance rights here!"

After hearing what her husband said, Xiao Qiao's mood suddenly became complicated.

She also realized that she shouldn't argue about these trivial matters.

The husband has been trying to reconcile the relationship between the sisters.

Now that she suddenly said something that was not conducive to harmony, the other party did not criticize her directly, which was already giving her face.

Xiao Qiao was no longer angry. Instead, she took her husband's hand and kissed it on her lips:
"Xiao Qiao knows. But I will only give birth to one child for my husband, and I won't have any more in the future..."

As she spoke, a deep resentment appeared in Xiao Qiao's eyes.

"Okay, okay, no need to have a baby. As long as you are happy, that's more important than anything else."

Although Lu Bu said this, he knew it very well in his heart.

As long as the scar heals and the pain is forgotten, the other party will naturally want to have another child.

After all, she didn't have a son, so how could she compete with the other sisters?
Lu Bu did not continue the topic and asked:
"Have you decided what to name your daughter?"

Xiao Qiao said "hmm":
"Just call her... Lu Yan, how about that?"

"Lü Yan..." Lü Bu nodded slightly, "She floats and whirls around like snow, and she sends the wandering dragon away in surprise. It's a good name, let's call her Lü Yan!"

Xiao Qiao smiled happily after receiving her husband's affirmation. In the following month, Lu Bu took good care of Xiao Qiao every day.

With meticulous care, Xiao Qiao gradually passed the critical period and was even able to get out of bed and walk.

The cold winter passed by unknowingly, and time gradually came to January of the next year.

Liangzhou, Wuwei County.

Wei Yan stood at the edge of the field, watching the ice and snow on the field gradually melt, and realized that spring had arrived.

Also arriving might be the imperial army and the little emperor himself!

According to reports from spies, the troops from Hanyang County and Beidi County were secretly gathering in Anding County.

Including the troops brought by the imperial court from Sili, it is estimated that there are nearly 100,000 troops!
The most important thing is that the emperor will lead the army in person, and the soldiers will definitely not miss the opportunity to perform in front of the emperor.

Because once you achieve outstanding results, you will most likely receive direct rewards from the emperor.

This is also the direct benefit brought by the emperor leading the army in person.

Fortunately, there are now 80,000 troops in Wuwei County.

And as defenders, they also have powerful weapons such as gunpowder cans.

Wei Yan had great confidence in defending Wuwei County.

What he is considering now is whether he can use more clever methods to resolve this crisis, or even cut off the enemy's retreat!
If Sun Ce and his men were allowed to send troops from Longxi County, they would capture Hanyang County which already had no defenders.

Then, they joined forces with Wuwei County and Hanzhong County to attack Youfufeng in Sili.

As long as we can occupy this place, we can cut off the emperor's retreat!
If we can capture the emperor directly by then, the entire Sili and Liangzhou will be within our grasp!

I feel excited just thinking about it!

Wei Yan immediately returned to the city and found Guo Jia who had rushed over from Jincheng County and told him his idea.

After listening to the other party's bold idea, Guo Jia immediately gave high praise:

"General Wenchang is indeed a man of great skill and courage!

“But what the general can think of, the enemy can certainly think of as well.

“The imperial court will definitely call back the troops from Bingzhou to protect Sili.

"However, if we reach an agreement with the Xiongnu in the north, they can seize the opportunity to seize Bingzhou.

“It will create enormous pressure on the imperial court.

“By then, our chances of defending Wuwei County will be greatly increased.

“In addition, Youfufeng will certainly be heavily guarded, but in contrast, the defenses of Hongnong County and Henan County to the east will definitely be relatively weak.

"We can write a letter to ask the Lord to send troops from Nanyang, Jingzhou to Hongnong County. Even if we can't capture it, it will put the imperial court's troops in a situation where they are surrounded by enemies on all sides!"

After listening to Guo Jia's advice, Wei Yan realized that he was a little naive.

The other party's considerations were obviously more thoughtful.

Wei Yan immediately nodded in agreement:

"Just do as you say, sir. I will write a letter to the lord right now and ask him to send troops from Nanyang.

"But who should we send to persuade the Southern Xiongnu's Chanyu to send troops to Bingzhou?"

Guo Jia had obviously thought about this:

"The current leader of the Xiongnu is Huchuquan, who is much worse than his late brother Yufuluo.

“As long as we can send someone who is good at speaking to Huochuquan and explain the pros and cons, we can easily convince him to send troops.

"As for the candidate... Wang Lang, the bookkeeper who is good at debate, is undoubtedly the most suitable!"
