Three Kingdoms: Take care of Lady Gan on behalf of Liu Bei at the beginning

Chapter 84: Madam Zhen is pregnant for the first time, Liu Wu takes a good plan to disrupt the Jiangdong camp

After Liu Wu arranged Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, he was able to sit back and relax. All he needed to do was for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead the army to arrive and He could take Youzhou at any time.

the other side.

Zhen Mi heaved a sigh of relief when she learned that Liu Wu finally arranged a title of Marquis of Dai for Yuan Xi, and granted him the fief of Dai County, giving him a life of wealth and honor. To Yuan Xi, she was just a weak woman in the troubled times, and she had done her best.

Yes, Zhen Mi did give Liu Wu some influence.

It was impossible for Yuan Xi to be as wealthy in Yecheng as Yuan Shang and be granted the title of Marquis of Zhuo County.

Because both Liu Wu and Liu Bei were from Zhuo County.

It is impossible for Liu Wu to separate his hometown.

In the end, Zhen Mi asked for the title of Marquis of Dai County for Yuan Xi.

Although Daixian Hou was a marquis of a border county with a sparse population, in the Han Dynasty, a county marquis was already a very impressive rank.

Because in the Han Dynasty, it was actually very rare to be granted the title of Marquis. This is mainly based on the following reasons:

The scarcity of the title of marquis: In the Han Dynasty, the canonization of marquises was extremely strict, and only those who made great contributions to the country could obtain it. As the highest level among the marquises, the canonization standard of the county marquis was naturally higher. Therefore, those who could be canonized as county marquises must be outstanding figures with outstanding achievements and major contributions in the fields of politics, military or culture. If it weren't for Zhen Mi whispering in Liu Wu's ear, and Yuan Xi's cooperation, Liu Wu would not be so generous to Yuan Xi.

The actual value of the fiefdom: The fiefdom of a county marquis is a complete county, which means that the county marquis can enjoy economic rights and interests such as food, clothing, rent and taxes within the county. Being able to own such a rich fiefdom is undoubtedly a very important reward for an individual, even if Dai County is sparsely populated, it is still very good.

Another thing is the huge improvement in social status: being named a county marquis not only means that the individual has gained huge economic benefits, but more importantly, has been significantly improved in status. As a noble in the Han Dynasty, the social status and prestige of the county marquis will be improved, and he will be respected and admired by more people.

Undoubtedly, it is extremely rare to be granted the title of county marquis in the Han Dynasty.

In fact, Liu Wu might not have intended to spend a fortune to buy horse bones.

Anyone who offers him a state of land can be granted the title of county marquis!

Liu Wu didn't know whether the horse bone he bought for a huge sum of gold would be of any use, but he could just do it as he pleased. Who knows, it might come in handy at some point.

The residence of the General of Cavalry.

In the backyard.

The stunningly beautiful Zhen Mi is dancing for Liu Wu.

Liu Wu looked at the dancing Zhen Mi and felt a flame rising in his body.

have to say.

For a beautiful woman, dancing will only make her charm more attractive.

At this time, Zhen Mi's every move was full of great charm. Liu Wu had been having in-depth communication with Zhen Mi for some time, but he still felt that the communication with Zhen Mi was not enough.

Zhen Mi must have some secrets that I don't know about.

He must dig deep.

Suddenly, when Zhen Mi looked at Liu Wu with her beautiful eyes, she covered her mouth.

"Ugh~"

Zhen Mi's reaction stunned Liu Wu, and he stared at the Goddess of Luo River Zhen Mi in a daze.

He was in disbelief.

So, you’re pregnant?

Liu Wu did not think like others that Zhen Mi had a stomach upset. Liu Wu's subconscious reaction was that Zhen Mi was pregnant!

It's no wonder that Liu Wu reacted like that, because all of his women who vomited or had nausea, unless they were found to have a stomach upset, ended up being found to be pregnant.

Since obtaining the system, Liu Wu feels that his fertility has increased significantly and subtly.

It was obvious that he had not had enough fun with his wife, but she was pregnant.

Now, Zhen Mi behaved like this again, and Liu Wu could not help but suspect that Zhen Mi might be pregnant with his child.

Although making the goddess of Luo River Zhen Mi pregnant is a very tempting thing.

However, Liu Wu was somewhat reluctant as he wanted to spend more time playing with Zhen Mi.

However, if Zhen Mi is pregnant now, then given Li Cunxiao's strong physique, it is obvious that he cannot exert any force.

If you can't exert force suddenly, it will lack a lot of meaning.

"Husband...husband, it should be Mi. I have a stomachache today and disturbed your mood." Zhen Mi suppressed the nausea in her heart and apologized to Liu Wu.

Since being captured and trained by Liu Wu, Zhen Mi's understanding of Liu Wu has reached an unprecedented level that is unknown to outsiders.

However, at Liu Wu's request, she began to call him husband.

She could already see that Liu Wu's face wasn't looking good.

Upon hearing this, Liu Wu shook his head and said:
"No, this may be unforgettable for you."

"Madam, you should be pregnant!"

Liu Wu spoke to Zhen Mi bluntly.

"What? I'm pregnant?"

When Zhen Mi heard Liu Wu's words, she looked at him in shock with her seductive mouth opened. Seeing this, Liu Wu felt very itchy, so he pulled Zhen Mi over and kissed her seductive lips.

……

"Ma'am, congratulations, you are indeed pregnant, ma'am, you are pregnant."

In the hall, the gray-haired old doctor took Zhen Mi's pulse and congratulated her.

"This... I'm actually pregnant!" Although Zhen Mi was told this in advance by Liu Wu and was mentally prepared, when she really heard that she was pregnant, Zhen Mi was still filled with mixed emotions such as shock, surprise, etc.

She was originally the wife of Yuan Xi, but was arranged by Yuan Shao to go to Youzhou because of Yuan Xi. She had to take care of her mother-in-law. Although she and Yuan Xi were husband and wife in name, they had no children after all.

And now, she's pregnant?

Zhen Mi's beautiful eyes were filled with surprise and complexity as she looked at Liu Wu, who was smiling at her.

"Husband, are you proud?"

Zhen Mi suddenly said with an itchy temper.

When Liu Wu heard this, he felt a great sense of accomplishment and pleasure in his heart.

"Madam, please take good care of the fetus and give birth to a little general for me!" Liu Wu said with a laugh.

Zhen Mi gave Liu Wu a blank look, and then Zhen Mi couldn't help but put her delicate hand on her abdomen.

"General, the envoy from Jiangdong, Lu Su, has arrived. At the same time, Generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have led an army of 100,000 and are thirty miles south of Yecheng."

Li Yan said respectfully to Liu Wu.

Liu Wu listened to Li Yan's report and put away the information that the Jinyiwei had collected about the aristocratic families in Jizhou.

The Jinyiwei kept a clear record of who wanted to join him and who was hostile to him.

"Zheng Fang, how do you think this general should deal with Lu Su?"

Liu Wu looked at Li Yan and asked Li Yan directly.

When Li Yan heard Liu Wu's question, his heart was shocked and his face looked solemn, but he understood that this was a good opportunity to show his abilities to Liu Wu.

Liu Wu watched the subtle changes in Li Yan's expression, but was not surprised by Li Yan's sensitivity.

Yes, the man in front of him was Li Yan, an important general and minister of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. He and Zhuge Liang were both ministers entrusted by Liu Bei before his death, and it can be said that he had a profound influence on the Shu Han regime.

Li Yan previously worked under Liu Biao and was the county magistrate of Zigui.

When Liu Wu was promoting the curved plow, he accidentally discovered the other party who was the county magistrate.

Liu Wu then transferred him to his side.

In history, when Cao Cao went south to attack Jingzhou, Li Yan defected to Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, and was appointed as the magistrate of Chengdu County because of his outstanding talents. After Liu Bei entered Shu and fell out with Liu Zhang, Li Yan led his people to surrender to Liu Bei, and was therefore highly valued by Liu Bei.

And now, with his intervention, it is naturally impossible for Li Yan to surrender to Liu Zhang in Yizhou.

However, Liu Wu is still very optimistic about Li Yan's potential.

Li Yan is still quite young now.

However, in history, Li Yan was an important official of Shu Han. He and Zhuge Liang were both ministers entrusted by Liu Bei before his death, so he did have some abilities.

Historically, Liu Bei thought highly of Li Yan and appointed him successively as General, Governor of Qianwei, and General of Xingye. During his tenure, Li Yan performed well. He not only successfully quelled the rebellion in Shuzhong, but also built water conservancy projects and roads, contributing to the stability and development of the Shu Han regime. In addition, Li Yan was praised by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang for his outstanding governance ability.

When Liu Bei was critically ill, he entrusted the crown prince Liu Chan to Zhuge Liang and Li Yan. Li Yan was responsible for assisting Zhuge Liang in handling government and military affairs according to the will, and was appointed Shangshu Ling and Zhongdu Hu. During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Li Yan was in charge of rear affairs and food supply, but due to various reasons, the food preparation was not timely, and he was eventually convicted and demoted to a civilian.

Obviously, Li Yan was a general and important official who was capable of great use. He was both civil and military, strategic, and had considerable military talent. Of course, he also had some shortcomings and mistakes, such as abusing his power for personal gain and increasing greed. In the late Shu Han Dynasty, Li Yan had conflicts with Zhuge Liang due to personal ambitions and conflicts of interest, and was eventually demoted to a civilian due to problems with food and grass supply.

Despite this, Li Yan's status and role in the Shu Han regime cannot be ignored.

Liu Wu looked at Li Yan quietly.

Li Yan's mind raced, considering the current situation and what Liu Wu wanted. He took a deep breath and said:
"The general is your majesty's uncle and a relative of the Liu family. He is now fighting against the rebels on behalf of the emperor. In fact, it is wrong for Jiangdong to share the territory with the general. This is enough to show Sun Quan's ambition."

"However, the imperial decree has been issued, so the general must not soil his feathers. He should rebuke Lu Su and make Jiangdong lose its composure. Then, the general can take advantage of the situation and legitimately intervene in Jiangdong's affairs."

Li Yan's words were quite bold, but he was just a county magistrate. If he missed this opportunity, Li Yan was afraid that he would never have another chance.

That's why Li Yan made such wild remarks.

Liu Wu looked at Li Yan quietly until he saw Li Yan's scalp tingling and quite flustered, then Liu Wu withdrew his gaze.

At this time, Li Yan did not have the opportunity or strength to abuse his power for personal gain and increase his greed. However, Liu Wu could see a hint of Li Yan's ambition to climb up from his reply.

It is not normal for anyone in the court to have no ambition to climb up.

It stands to reason that it is normal for Li Yan to be ambitious, but, on the contrary, although Li Yan does not have the opportunity or strength to abuse his power for personal gain and increase his greed, there are signs of this.

So it can be said that Li Yan was crooked from the very beginning.

"Well said." Liu Wu applauded Li Yan.

Li Yan was delighted and bowed to Liu Wu, saying respectfully:

"The general of the scepter is in command of the situation and can overwhelm others with his general momentum."

"Do you know what mistake you made?" Facing Li Yan's joy, Liu Wu responded to Li Yan with a sudden 180-degree turn and cold words.

Li Yan only felt a heavy rain of ice pouring down on his head, and his heart suddenly turned cold. Liu Wu said that he made a mistake?

What's wrong?
Li Yan didn't understand why Liu Wu suddenly said this. He frowned and thought hard, but he couldn't get the point.

However, seeing Liu Wu’s frosty face, Li Yan felt very panicked.

Liu Wu looked at Li Yan and said calmly:
"What is your own ambition? What kind of person do you want to be? What qualities and behaviors should the person you want to be have? How did you behave today? Go back and reflect deeply for three days, then write on it and hang it in the main hall to serve as a warning."

"I hope you won't let this general down, and don't let yourself down!"

Liu Wu looked at Li Yan and said calmly.

He discovered Li Yan and brought him with him directly, naturally because he was impressed by Li Yan's talents.

However, like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, if he wants to use Li Yan, make use of him, and make him his right-hand man, he still needs Li Yan to correct his own shortcomings.

In the hall, Li Yan was stunned when he heard Liu Wu's words.

He just answered Liu Wu's two questions. Why did Liu Wu treat him like this?
Li Yan's heart was filled with sadness, but he was also very puzzled.

Because Liu Wu showed that he valued him very much.

Where is the problem?
Li Yan breathed rapidly, thinking about the two sentences he was asked to answer from Liu Wu, he was shocked, and then his face changed drastically, and finally his face turned pale.

"I am grateful for your advice. Thank you, General!" Li Yan saluted Liu Wu politely.

Today's Li Yan is no longer the trusted minister of Shu Han in history, but just a county magistrate. He does not have that kind of pride, so he still knows how to reflect on himself.

With the help of Liu Wu, Li Yan immediately realized that what he did was not a good thing. He was impatient and too ambitious and greedy.

His ambition is to become a general or a prime minister, which may even ruin his future.

"Go out!" Liu Wu didn't say much to Li Yan and let Li Yan go.

He has already intervened in Li Yan's affairs. As for the outcome, it depends on whether Li Yan is corrected. If he corrects his own shortcomings, then Li Yan will be another capable general under his command.

Li Yan was sent by Liu Wu to reflect on himself for three days, but Liu Wu met Lu Su who came from afar.

"General of the Cavalry, it was you who personally agreed to the alliance between Sun and Liu, and His Majesty also issued an imperial decree. But just after I defeated the Yuan brothers in Jiangdong, your general Zhao Yun led his troops to threaten Shouchun and Jiujiang. Isn't this too wrong, General of the Cavalry?" Lu Su said to Liu Wu indignantly, but he tried his best to avoid offending Liu Wu in his tone.

Liu Wu heard that Lu Su was coming to question him, but he didn't respond and said:

"Mr. Zijing, why do you say that? General Zilong is only leading the army on a march, how can he be considered a threat to you? Have you ever seen a soldier enter Shouchun?"

Lu Su frowned and looked at Liu Wu. He felt from Liu Wu's attitude that Liu Wu's next strategy towards Jiangdong might take a turn for the worse.

This made Lu Su feel like he was struck by lightning. Now Liu Wu still held Jizhou in his hands, and his power had greatly increased.

On that day, Lu Su was stunned by Liu Wu's tough rebuttal and unreasonable statement. Liu Wu even advised Jiang Dong not to have paranoia.
