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

Chapter 55 Huang Yueying: Isn’t the mouth for eating?

The next morning.

Huang Yueying woke up sleepily in Lu Bu's arms.

Going in and out all night last night almost made her lose herself.

Fortunately, the other person is rough but thoughtful, strong but gentle, and knows how to cherish her.

Otherwise, she would probably be unable to move now.

Compared with the delicate girl, Lu Bu, who still had some strength left, naturally woke up early.

Seeing Huang Yueying wake up, Lu Bu tucked the messy black hair on her face behind her ears.

I noticed that the scar on the other person's face was more obvious than last night.

But this did not affect the fact that he had already gotten used to the other person's appearance.

Afterwards, she asked Diao Chan to help her touch up her makeup and cover up the scar, so that she could meet people even without wearing a veil.

However, Lu Bu was still curious and asked:

"You are a distinguished lady after all, how did you hurt your face like this?"

Huang Yueying touched the scar on her face shyly and whispered like a spoiled cat:

“When I’m bored at home, I think of inventing some wooden gadgets to pass the time.

“But when making the wooden man’s eyes.

"Yue'er accidentally caused a piece of wood to fly out of one of the expansion machines and hit her face, causing her to bleed a lot.

"Although it was not a serious problem later, I still have this indelible scar on my face...

"Husband, is Yue'er too stupid?"

When Lu Bu heard that this was the reason, he was surprised, but also felt it was reasonable.

Huang Yueying was a famous inventor during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.

They invented strange and bizarre things such as wooden dogs, wooden tigers, and wooden men, which were quite ingenious.

It is highly likely that she also helped in the wooden ox and flowing horse that Zhuge Liang later invented.

In the process of invention and creation, it is inevitable to hurt yourself.

But speaking of it, if they could make the wooden ox and horse now.

Then the speed at which the army transports supplies will be greatly improved, which is equivalent to indirectly enhancing military capabilities!

Thinking of this, Lu Bu told Huang Yueying his idea.

Hearing her husband's request, Huang Yueying's fair face flushed with excitement:

"Yue'er has some knowledge of what my husband is talking about!"

"Oh?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Lu Bu's eyes.

It seems that Zhuge Liang’s invention of the wooden ox and flowing horse was indeed inseparable from the other party’s help!

Huang Yueying crawled over Lu Bu naked.

After getting out of bed, he ran barefoot to the corner of the room, opened the wooden box placed there, and took out a drawing from it.

Then he returned to the bed excitedly, handed the drawing to Lu Bu, and watched his reaction with anticipation.

Lu Bu pulled the girl back into bed to prevent her from catching a cold.

He sat up from the bed, unfolded the drawing, and saw that it was the initial sketch of the wooden ox and flowing horse!

Although this sketch does not look finalized, it has a general structure.

If we continue our research, I believe it won’t be long before we can develop the wooden ox and flowing horse that can actually be used on the battlefield!
Surprise flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, and he lowered his head and kissed Huang Yueying hard on the face.

The girl's face was full of shyness.

"My Yue'er is truly a natural genius! With a good wife like you to help me, I can work 20 years less!"

Hearing this praise, Huang Yueying was already smiling so hard that she couldn't close her legs, her heart was full of sweetness:
“Husband, you are joking. It is Yue’er’s honor to be able to help you!

“But this drawing still needs to be improved.

"Besides, there are some difficulties that I have never been able to overcome. I am afraid that in the end, it may not be what my husband wishes..."

"No problem." Lu Bu rolled up the blueprint again and placed it on the bedside.
“I, your husband, also know a thing or two about the art of tricks.

"Your husband will help you complete the final research!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, husband~"

Huang Yueying leaned her head on the man's shoulder obediently.

Lu Bu looked at the girl's pretty face and his heart was filled with heat again.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, gently stroked the girl's soft lips, and said seductively:

"It's still early now, why not let your husband teach you some mouth skills!"

Huang Yueying blinked and asked doubtfully:
"Mouth? Isn't the mouth used for talking and eating?"

Lu Bu laughed, then said bitterly:

"You'll find out later!"

As he said this, he quickly got into the bed of the newlywed girl amid her cries...

In the next few days, Lu Bu took a good vacation.

While teaching Huang Yueying various techniques that made her blush, he also helped her study the drawings of the wooden ox and flowing horse.

Before we knew it, it was already the end of the twelfth lunar month.

After a period of rest, Lu Bu's army has become strong and powerful!

During this period, due to the promotion of the curved plow and dragon-bone waterwheel, countless refugees from Lujiang County and Jiangxia County flocked in upon hearing the news.

After receiving systematic planning, most of these refugees found their own way to survive.

Among them, a considerable number of refugees were selected and joined the army.

Together with the 5,000 family soldiers donated by Huang Chengyan, Lu Bu obtained nearly 20,000 troops in just over a month!
Now his total military strength has reached 60,000!
However, Lu Bu was not in a hurry to start a war.

The weather is now at its coldest. Starting a war at this time will only lower the morale of the people.

Lu Bu simply took Huang Yueying back to Xiling City and concentrated on studying the development of the wooden ox and flowing horse with her.

……

Before we know it, spring has arrived, and the new year's sowing season has also arrived.

Lu Bu stood on the city wall of Xiling City.

Looking at the farmlands in the distance filled with farmers working in the fields, he felt a sense of accomplishment!

I recall when I first left Chang'an, the fields I saw along the way were all very barren.

You basically don't see ordinary people working in the fields.

Because even the most basic way of survival, such as farming, is often controlled by wealthy families.

However, with the popularization of the curved plow, labor was greatly liberated.

Both the Zhou family in Lujiang and the Huang family in Jiangxia expressed their desire to invest in expanding production after seeing the curved plow in use.

With this thing, grain production can be increased several times or even ten times!

This is also very beneficial for the aristocratic families.

Now that these farmers have started to work, he, as the governor of Yangzhou, must continue to expand his territory.

As the weather warmed up, the generals, who had rested for most of the winter, could no longer wait and kept urging him to use foreign troops.

Because he promised Sun Ce that he would help him get revenge and bring Zhou Yu back.

Therefore, his next target of attack was Xiangyang City in Nanjun!
Jiangxia is across the river from Xiangyang, so it is not easy to attack directly.

If Zhou Yu had not been with Liu Biao, Lu Bu felt that it would not be too difficult to capture Xiangyang or even the entire Nanjun.

But with Zhou Yu as a powerful enemy, let alone Nanjun, even the city of Xiangyang may not be as easy to capture as imagined!

Therefore, after discussing with Liu Ye, Lu Bu planned to land at Wulin Port east of Jiangling City.

If we can land successfully and then cooperate with the navy to capture Hanjin Port, we can go straight to Xiangyang!
However, ideas may be very promising, but reality may be very bleak.

What they can think of, Zhou Yu may not be unable to think of.

Therefore, Lu Bu is still thinking about a deeper plan of sending troops...
