My game can make money starting from the Three Kingdoms period.

Zhuge Liang also wanted to recommend Lu Qian as a talented scholar.

However, Lu Qian exuded a rather strong murderous aura.

Lu Qian's suggestion to use both kindness and severity has inadvertently put the lives of tens of thousands of people at risk.

He remained unmoved, seemingly indifferent.

From Zhuge Liang's perspective, Lu Qian was a cunning and decisive strategist, but not suitable for governing the country.

Although Jiang Wan and Fei Yi's strategies were inferior to Lu Qian's, their character, loyalty, and integrity were more in line with Zhuge Liang's direction in cultivating talents for governing the country.

Just like now, Zhuge Liang wants to recommend Jiang Wan as an outstanding talent.

If this happened to someone else, they would probably be extremely grateful and kowtow in thanks.

Jiang Wan's first reaction was to humbly decline and give the opportunity to Lu Qian.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang remained silent, Jiang Wan then recommended Liu Yong, Yin Hua, Pang Yan, Liao Hua, and others.

Jiang Wan is older than Fei Yi, and is now nearly thirty years old, making him the most suitable successor to Zhuge Liang at present.

Not rash or radical, he was almost just like Zhuge Liang in temperament.

The main focus is on stability.

To avoid embarrassing Zhuge Liang, Lu Qian took the initiative to encourage Jiang Wan.

"Gongyan, you need not decline. Your talent is evident to all. To have talent but not promote it is a loss to the country and the nation. Gongyan should do his best to use his talents, which will be good for the country and the people."

Jiang Wan then agreed.

Zhuge Liang was very satisfied with this harmonious scene.

"Gonghe, your three-year mourning period is about to end. I have found a marriage for you, so please do not refuse."

This was Pang Tong's suggestion, and Zhuge Liang had been paying close attention to it.

Lu Qian was taken aback. Why was everyone's attention back on him?

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Yes, Gonghe advised me, so I should advise Gonghe as well."

Since Zhuge Liang was in charge of the arrangements, Lu Qian could trust that this young lady must be of excellent character.

Anyway, Zhuge Liang would never harm him, right?

Jiang Wan bowed to Zhuge Liang and asked, "Prime Minister, whose daughter is so fortunate?"

"I know this young lady."

"Huh?" Lu Qian asked, bewildered.

……

Lu Qian accompanied the army to the south.

A few days ago, Jiang Wan helped Lu Qian resolve the matter of inheriting the title.

Lu Qian was so embarrassed at home that he got goosebumps every day, so he volunteered to Zhuge Liang to go to the south to quell the rebellion.

The road ahead had already been cleared by Pang Tong and was very safe, so Zhuge Liang's fleet sailed swiftly.

In the cabin, Lu Qian drew the map of the southern region, waterways, and strongholds that he had memorized from the Prime Minister's room onto paper.

Suddenly someone called out, "My little husband!" in a flippant tone.

Lu Qian turned around in shock.

"Third, Third Sister? You, what are you doing here?!" She jumped in surprise.

是 的

The woman Zhuge Liang arranged for Lu Qian to marry was Guan Yu's daughter, Guan Feng, the third sister of the Guan family.

Lu Qian and Guan Feng have known each other since childhood and grew up together.

Now that he's come of age, the sudden demand that he marry his best friend has left Lu Qian at a loss.

Third Sister is of noble birth, and countless young men would rather die than marry her. It's not that Lu Qian is arrogant.

It's just... I can't bring myself to say it, I can't bring myself to do it... We're too familiar with each other...

According to Zhuge Liang's plan, Lu Qian's mourning period will end next year during the Qingming Festival, after which he can get married.

If Lu Qian stayed in Chengdu, he would have no idea how to get along with his third sister, whom he would see every day.

Lu Qian volunteered to go to Nanzhong to avoid Guan Feng.

Unexpectedly, Guan Feng also infiltrated the fleet and even sought out Lu Qian.

"Of course I'm here to protect my little husband!" Guan Feng waved, instructing her servants to place her armor and longsword in the next room.

The two are not married yet, so they should still avoid suspicion.

Guan Feng is now twenty-one years old, in the prime of her youth.

She repeatedly declined the marriage arranged for her by her brother.

When Zhuge Liang proposed that Lu Qian had come of age and was willing to arrange the marriage, Guan Feng fell silent.

The young girl shyly agreed, letting the Prime Minister make all the decisions.

Rather than marrying a complete stranger, it's better to marry Lu Qian, whom she knows well, so she can continue to be close to Lu Ansheng.

Compared to the shy Lu Qian, Guan Feng was more carefree and direct. Since marriage was a fait accompli, she would protect her husband herself and no one could gossip about him.

She then asked her elder brother, Guan Ping, to arrange for her to join the team.

"I'm traveling with the Prime Minister, so my safety is not a problem, Third Sister..."

Guan Feng grabbed the map Lu Qian had drawn, "Could you assign me some enemy-killing missions?"

Lu Qian refused without hesitation, "No! Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. If something happens to Third Sister, how can I explain it to your brother?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Feng gazed intently at Lu Qian and asked, "Are you concerned about me?"

They've already chased them all the way into the army; how could Lu Qian not know Guan Feng's feelings?

Lu Qian didn't mince words, "You're my betrothed, if I don't care, who will?"

Guan Feng's cheeks flushed. "You've really grown up..."

Guan Feng came along, but his main purpose was to fight on the battlefield and have some fun.

Lu Qian didn't know how to get along with her, and Guan Feng felt the same way.

However, she was naturally carefree and straightforward, and her little thoughts were all hidden by her easygoing demeanor.

Originally, she only regarded Lu Qian as her little brother, and would call him "little husband" to tease him.

Feeling cared for now, Guan Feng couldn't help but think that this was truly a marriage she had been waiting for.

As for love, in this era of hunger and constant warfare, there's no energy left to pursue it.

Guan Feng has feelings for Lu Qian, and Lu Qian can accept Guan Feng's temper, that's enough.

"Third Sister, please rest inside the boat. I'll be right back."

Lu Qian fled as if he were escaping.

Guan Feng was still immersed in the flutter of her heart when Lu Qian went to find Zhuge Liang.

They wanted Zhuge Liang to send Guan Feng back to Chengdu.

"Since you're already here, let her come with you. She's skilled in martial arts and can protect you." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but laugh.

It can be said that Zhuge Liang was very satisfied with the arranged marriage.

Now that the Lu family holds a high position and wields great power, and the Guan family is also noble and loyal, facilitating a marriage between the two families is to consolidate the foundation of Shu Han.

"Prime Minister, you misunderstand. I was afraid I couldn't control my third sister, who was out in the open fighting. If word got out that our army was sending women into battle, wouldn't people laugh at our Han Dynasty for having no women?"

That's a problem.

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "If you can't control her, it means your prestige is insufficient to suppress her. That's your problem."

Lu Qian was stunned.

It seems he's about to show off his husbandly prowess.

That's true. If it's not suppressed properly, she might die of humiliation after marriage.

Half a month later

The fleet successfully arrived in Weixian County.

The atmosphere in the military was solemn and heavy.

Military advisor Ma Su came to greet them.

Previously, Ma Su had followed Pang Tong and joined the army in the south.

Even after Pang Tong fell ill, the morale of the army remained high and military discipline was upheld, thanks in no small part to Ma Su.

Fortunately, Pang Tong was still alive.

Now that the military command of the southern expeditionary force is in the hands of Zhuge Liang, he ordered Pang Tong's son, Pang Hong, to escort his father back to Chengdu for medical treatment.

Zhuge Liang then discussed and rewarded the generals for their contributions.

Especially Ma Su.

He was credited for his advisory role in the swift pacification of the southern regions, and now that Pang Tong is ill, he has stabilized the morale of the army.

Where is there anyone who said, as Liu Bei said before his death, that Ma Su was all talk and no action?

"After the pacification of Nanzhong, Youchang should be appointed as the governor of Yuexi." Zhuge Liang offered a promise. "Youchang, what do you think should be done next to pacify Nanzhong?"
