I did it all for the Han Dynasty!

Chapter 250: What We Want Is a Female General

When Liu Miao was welcomed into the city by Lü Bu, his subordinates Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Wei Yue, and others were all surprised, wondering why Lü Bu would treat Liu Miao with such respect.

Although Liu Miao did indeed relieve Lü Bu's siege, and normal people should treat Liu Miao with respect, is Lü Bu a normal person?

Even when they arrived in the main hall, Lü Bu declined Liu Miao's offer to sit in the seat of honor. It was only because Liu Miao addressed him as his father-in-law that Lü Bu did not give up the seat.

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the revelry, Lü Bu, drunk, immediately let out a loud shout!
"Zhongshan, tell me, do you think I, Lü Bu, am a hero?"

"General, your martial arts skills are outstanding, you are naturally a hero."

That's not what I meant!

Lu Bu's drinking manners seemed rather poor. He was usually a bit dim-witted, and now he showed no restraint whatsoever, slamming his fist heavily on the table: "Tell me! Back then, I rid the country of a traitor and killed Dong Zhuo. How could that be considered ridding the country of a scourge! But when I came to Guandong, Yuan Shu drove me away, Yuan Shao wanted to kill me, Cao Cao couldn't tolerate me, and Liu Bei was wary of me! Tell me, what's wrong with this world?"

What else could it be...?

Just from the moment they met, that fierce energy, that oppressive feeling of Lu Bu among men and Red Hare among horses charging together, would have made anyone but Liu Miao turn hostile.

Not only is he clumsy in key actions, but he's also not very bright; he believes whatever others say... Which warlord could tolerate Lü Bu?

However, while I may think that way, I certainly can't say it like that.

Liu Miao immediately laughed and said, "Isn't their inability to tolerate the general due to jealousy of his bravery?"

"General, you have toiled for the country and slew Dong Zhuo. Among the civil and military officials of our time, no one has made greater contributions than you! How could people like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao not be wary of you?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Miao!

Chen Gong and the others under Lü Bu all looked at Liu Miao with admiration!
The only person who could turn white into black and find ways to please Lü Bu was probably Liu Miao!

It was clearly Lü Bu who was foolish, but in Liu Miao's mouth, it became that all the lords were jealous of Lü Bu's achievements.
The group looked at Lü Bu again and found that he was laughing as freely as a child weighing several hundred pounds!
"Is Zhongshan telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true!"

Lu Bu then started grinning foolishly again. This scene didn't look like a father-in-law and son-in-law chatting at all; it looked more like an adult coaxing a child to be happy!
After Lü Bu finished laughing, he suddenly pointed at Liu Miao and asked, "Isn't Zhongshan jealous of my achievements?"

Liu Miao naturally shook his head!

"I am about to marry the general's daughter. The general has been like an elder to me, protecting me. Tell me, who in this world would be jealous of the merits of their elder?"

"..."

Lu Bu was already overjoyed, but he still pressed his advantage: "In that case, Zhongshan should listen to me in everything?"

Upon hearing this, the previously lively scene immediately fell silent.

Chen Gong and the others looked ashen-faced.

They all knew that Lü Bu was a simpleton.

But no one expected that Lü Bu could be so stupid!

Liu Miao flattered Lü Bu with a few words, which was enough for everyone to get along well. Who would have thought that Lü Bu would actually take it seriously?
For a moment, everyone cautiously looked at Liu Miao, fearing that he might suddenly become angry and turn against Lü Bu.

"Hahahaha! What are you saying, General? You are my elder, so of course I will listen to you in everything you say!!!"

Liu Miao completely ignored the terrified looks in the eyes below.

To Liu Miao, these words were like a parent promising their child, "After you finish your exams, I'll grant you any request you make."

In any case, given Lü Bu's personality, he would never actually order Liu Miao around. So why not say something to make him happy and put Lü Bu at ease for the time being?

After hearing Liu Miao's words, Lü Bu finally admired Liu Miao completely.

"In the whole world, perhaps only Zhongshan can be so honest with me?"

Liu Miao nodded in agreement.

after all.

Besides himself, who else would treat Lü Bu like a child?

At this moment, Liu Miao and Lü Bu both felt as if they had become each other's fathers. They smiled at each other, and everything was understood without words!
"Come on, Zhongshan! Let's drink!"

"General, it is I who should be showing you respect!"

"..."

At first, Lü Bu and Liu Miao drank and chatted, but after they had enjoyed themselves, Lü Bu picked up a huge wine jar and raised it high in the air to drink it all!

"General, your capacity is immense!"

"The general is mighty!"

"General, you are truly a celestial being!"

Liu Miao kept praising Lü Bu and toasting him, completely disregarding Lü Bu's safety. Lü Bu, in turn, treated himself like a wine vat, relentlessly consuming the fine wine at the banquet!
In the end, all the wine that Liu Miao brought and the wine in Lü Bu's treasury were completely consumed, and the wine was gathered together to fill Lü Bu's belly!
It was Lü Bu's brother-in-law who, fearing that Liu Miao would get Lü Bu drunk to death, quickly stepped forward to stop him: "That's enough! That's enough! My lord! General Liu! That's really enough!"

"If you drink any more, something terrible will happen!"

"What serious thing could happen!"

Liu Miao offered Lü Bu another cup of wine, and Lü Bu shouted, "Bring me wine! Zhongshan! Let's drink together!"

……

Wei Xu had no choice but to hold Lü Bu back.

Who drank with Lü Bu?

Wei Xu saw it clearly: Liu Miao had only drunk two or three cups from beginning to end; the rest had all gone into Lü Bu's stomach!
If he drinks any more, Lu Bu might just die right here on the spot!

Seeing Liu Miao still serving wine to Lü Bu, Wei Xu finally couldn't help but say, "Now that Liu Miao's wife is in the backyard, doesn't Liu Miao want to go and see her?"

"Hmm~~~~"

Liu Miao finally put down his wine cup and loudly called to the servants beside him, "What's wrong with you? Can't you see the general is drunk? Quickly carry him to rest!"

The servants looked resentful, but still came forward and hurriedly carried Lü Bu to rest.

Taking advantage of the situation, Liu Miao also followed them into Lü Bu's backyard.

"This room?" With Wei Xu's guidance, Liu Miao quickly found the boudoir of Lü Bu's daughter, Lü Qiling.

Skipping the formality of knocking, Liu Miao simply pushed the door open and entered.

But after seeing the layout of the courtyard, Liu Miao suddenly came to his senses.

This is hardly a woman's boudoir; it's clearly a miniature training ground!

There were no flowers or potted plants in the courtyard, and even some of the original side rooms had been leveled. Instead, some targets and tents were set up.

The key point is that the maids in the courtyard are also different from those in ordinary households.

Not only were they all tall and imposing, but they were also all dressed in short clothes and carrying sharp blades. Standing together, they created a rather unique and striking sight.

Upon seeing Liu Miao enter, they all raised their eyebrows in disapproval: "Who is it?"

"Who else could it be but your young lady's husband!"

rub!
Swords drawn!
The gleaming blade flashed with sharpness; anyone else would have been terrified. But Liu Miao made no attempt to hide it. Instead, he approached the female servant who had drawn her sword and patted her broad chest with admiration.

"Nice stance, but lacks presence. He probably hasn't killed anyone before, has he?"

Liu Miao patted her twice more heavily: "Your young lady is such a stingy person, she won't even spend money to get you a pair of armor."

"When we get to Jiangdong, I'll send you a pair myself. Don't be shy!"

The maid looked fierce, but after Liu Miao patted her chest twice, she immediately fled in panic, leaving the door wide open and revealing the path to Lü Qiling's room.

Seeing how easily the intimidating-looking maid had been driven away, Liu Miao smiled and pushed open the door to enter.

"Oh? There's still a surprise?"

The interior layout is also unusual.

Instead of the needlework and silks that are commonly found in a woman's home, there were piles of shields and arrows.

The couches they usually slept on were replaced with folding chairs commonly used in the military, and that was considered a hasty and perfunctory solution.

The person sitting on the couch was not a newlywed woman in a wedding dress.

Lu Qiling did not remove her armor; her fish-scale armor made her stand tall and proud like a pine tree. Her black hair was tied up high with a silver ribbon, and a wooden hairpin was worn diagonally in her hair, exuding both wildness and arrogance.

Upon seeing Liu Miao enter, Lü Qiling raised her bow and arrow, shouting, "Don't come any closer!"

Lu Qiling's striking face, which bears a resemblance to Lu Bu, is already breathtaking even without makeup.

Whether it was the turmoil of the wind or the turmoil of his heart, his face remained constantly shifting and dark, completely bewildered like a fawn, only able to raise his antlers with all his might, trying to drive away the ferocious predator in front of him.

Liu Miao did not step forward, but instead pulled over a folding chair and sat down opposite Lü Qiling.

"I am Liu Miao..."

"I know!"

Before Liu Miao could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lü Qiling's booming, hoarse voice.

"My father betrothed me to you in order to seek reinforcements!"

Lu Qiling's hand, gripping the bowstring, trembled uncontrollably: "It's not that I can't get married, but even if I were to marry, I should marry a hero who can fight on the battlefield! And you..."

"What's wrong with me?"

Liu Miao was quite dissatisfied.

"Do you know Cao Cao? He's the one who utterly defeated your father. But when he saw me, he didn't dare utter a single word and just obediently ran away. Isn't that impressive?"

Lu Qiling looked Liu Miao up and down in surprise, then softly asked, "You?"

"hiss……"

Liu Miao felt it was necessary to teach Lü Qiling, that tiger woman, a lesson!
"If you don't believe me, come forward and compete with me. If I lose, I will never come looking for you again, okay?"

Lu Qiling was skeptical, and slowly put down the bow and arrow in her hand.

Just then, Liu Miao rushed forward, disarmed Lü Qiling, and pinned her down.

"You scoundrel! You're a liar!"

"Don't you understand the principle of deception in war? And judging from your attire, you've clearly studied military strategy. Do you think the enemy should wait for you to be ready before you attack?"

"You don't even understand this? What are you doing wearing this armor? Are you playing house?"

Lu Qiling was struck dumb. Her struggling body gradually went still, and she used all her strength to look into her beautiful eyes, tears streaming down her face.

"I... I didn't want to either."

"But I am not a man after all, and I cannot help my father on the battlefield, so I cannot find a husband who is also unable to fight on the battlefield."

"I told you, I can fight better than your dad!"

"And fighting is about using your brain, not brute force!"

"Even though you are a woman, you are not incapable of helping your father. Do you understand this principle?"

Lü Qiling forcibly turned half her head away: "Really?"

"really!"

Lu Qiling remained silent for a moment, then finally stopped struggling and crying.

"Let me go!"

"What? Let you go so you can shoot me with an arrow?"

"No, I'm removing my armor..."

"Forget about removing the armor! We need a female general! Put it on now!!!"
