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

Chapter 71 Engagement (Thanks to the book friends 2823…6159 for the reward support～(><))

"Great, great! With the help of the genius doctor Zhongjing, my people and soldiers will be blessed from now on!"

Hearing Lü Bu calling him a miracle doctor again, Zhang Zhongjing quickly waved his hands:

“Marquis Wen, just call me Zhongjing. I really don’t deserve the title of miracle doctor.

“In addition, the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases that I gave to Wen Hou before was only a trial draft.

"In the future, I will continue to improve my medical skills and make improvements to this medical book."

Lu Bu nodded:

"No problem. I will fully support you in the development of your medical skills, Zhongjing.

"If you have any needs, you can tell me directly!"

Zhang Zhongjing bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Wen!"

Lu Bu personally arranged for Zhang Zhongjing to live near the prefectural government's mansion.

In this way, if a family member gets sick in the future, they can go to each other for consultation as soon as possible.

Afterwards, Lu Bu returned to the prefectural government and continued to discuss Yuan Shu's military movements with Liu Ye.

Of course, Zhou Yu is also here.

When Zhou Yu and Liu Ye met for the first time, Lu Bu could see that Liu Ye was a little unhappy.

After all, in terms of talents in all aspects, Zhou Yu is far superior to Liu Ye.

However, after his communication, Liu Ye quickly let it go.

After all, they are all top strategists.

If we divide our troops into two groups in the future, both sides will have senior advisers to offer advice, so there will be no need to determine who is superior.

Lu Bu sat on the couch, his hands resting on the bent-legged table, and said in a casual tone:
“Jiujiang County has no governor, and the county is divided into many small factions, so it is not difficult to take it down.

“But our army has only taken over Nanjun for a month, and its strength has not yet recovered to its peak.

“If we send out troops now, even if we capture Jiujiang before Yuan Shu, there won’t be too many defensive troops left in Jiujiang.

"After several months of training, Yuan Shu's military strength has increased to 60,000 to 70,000, which is stronger than our army.

"Do Ziyang and Gongjin have a way to take Jiujiang at the lowest cost?"

Liu Ye, who was kneeling in front of the curved-legged table, glanced at Zhou Yu.

Seeing that the other party bowed his head and said nothing, he bowed to Lu Bu and said:

"In my opinion, since Jiujiang has no master, there is no need for you to use military force.

"Given the prestige that the lord has now in the Jianghuai region, you can adopt a conciliatory approach.

"Send an envoy to persuade them to surrender, first with courtesy and then with force.

"If they are unwilling to surrender, we can use our military force against them, surround them without attacking them, and try to persuade them to surrender.

“I believe that most forces will surrender directly.

"We then took counties as units and nibbled away at the north little by little.

"Even if Yuan Shu still uses troops against Jiujiang, he will not easily attack the county town that we have occupied."

After listening to Liu Ye's detailed deployment, Lu Bu knew that he had done his homework and nodded approvingly:
"Zi Yang's plan is great. Gong Jin, what do you think?"

When his name was called, Zhou Yu said:

"I also think Liu Lingshi's strategy is very good.

“But I have something to add.

“First of all, the capital of Jiujiang is Shouchun.

“Only by taking Shouchun can we have more say in Jiujiang.

“Therefore, I think that the strategy of appeasement should be to go to Shouchun first.

"After that, we can simultaneously carry out the policy of appeasement from Shouchun to the south and from Hefei to the north.

“Also, let’s take Shouchun and its southern part first.

"Then we will consider whether to continue occupying the north based on Yuan Shu's movements."

After listening to Zhou Yu's supplement, Lu Bu smiled with satisfaction. This is the advantage of having two top counselors, who can complement each other's strategies.

Liu Ye also nodded in admiration:
"What Gongjin said is indeed more beneficial. My lord, you can act according to the plan."

Lu Bu nodded slightly:

"Then let's follow your suggestion. As for the matter of the diplomatic mission to Shouchun, who do you think is the most suitable?"

Liu Ye said:

"The defender of Shouchun City is Zheng Tai, who has a long history with Yuan Shu. He has 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command.

"If you want to convince him, you must be someone who is eloquent. I think it must be Deng Bomiao."

Lu Bu said "hmm".

Deng Zhi was a genius in diplomacy. Although he was young, he was eloquent and no one could match him.

At this time, Zhou Yu added:

“I heard that Zheng Tai always likes to hoard food.

"My lord, you can ask Bo Miao to bring 5,000 dan of grain to Zheng Tai, which will surely please him."

Lu Bu nodded with a smile, once again realizing the benefits of having two top counselors.

He immediately sent Deng Zhi with 5,000 dan of grain and asked Sun Ce to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to escort him.

He also sent Guo Youzhi to Hefei and Zhou Yu to Ruxu Port.

At the same time, Lu Bu also went to Wancheng with his family.

There are only three months left before the one-year agreement with Qiao Gong.

Although he has exceeded his targets in the past six months.

Not only did he capture Jiangxia, but he also captured Nanjun.

However, because he had married Huang Yueying in advance, Lu Bu was not in a hurry to go back even though Qiao Gong sent people to urge him several times.

Since he was going to attack Jiujiang this time, it would be safer for him to stay in Lujiang.

……

Wancheng, Qiao family’s backyard.

Two stunning beauties were sitting in front of a chess board playing chess.

The beautiful woman, who looked a little older and had a gentle temperament, was looking at the chessboard with a smile.

On the other hand, the sweet-looking girl on the opposite side held her face with both hands, puffed up her cheeks, and looked very angry:
“I heard that guy has returned to Jiangxia for more than a month.

"Now, let alone Jiangxia, we have even taken over Nanjun, why hasn't he come to marry us?
"Could it be that after marrying Huang Yueying, he no longer wants us?"

Da Qiao pursed her lips and smiled:
"Why, you just can't wait to get married and have children for someone else?"

Xiao Qiao did not hide her thoughts from her sister:
"Otherwise, don't you want to?"

Da Qiao was stunned for a moment, and a blush appeared on her jade-like cheeks:
"I, I don't want to. If he changes his mind, can't we continue playing without worries?"

Looking at the blush on her sister's face, Xiao Qiao didn't believe her lies:
"But I don't think I'll ever meet a better man than him.

“He is tall, handsome, and quite talented.

“I’ve heard that the Jiangdong Overlord is extremely brave and Zhou Lang is extremely wise, and I’m somewhat fascinated by them.

“But since I met Lord Fengxian, I have discovered that one of them is brave but not wise, and the other is wise but not brave.

"Compared to Lord Fengxian, it's really far behind!"

Looking at Xiao Qiao's admiring expression, although Da Qiao agreed with her words, she still smiled and shook her head.

At this moment, the maid suddenly came running over with a bright smile on her face:
"My two ladies, I have good news! Marquis Lü Wen has arrived in Wancheng and will come to the Qiao family to get engaged tomorrow."

"Really?!"

Xiao Qiao jumped up like a little white rabbit, and her already beautiful face became even more bright and charming.

Da Qiao, who had been calm before, now also blushed with joy.

Obviously, they have been looking forward to their future husbands for a long time!
