Transmigrating to the Three Kingdoms as Lu Bu: I Have a Pseudo-Apocalypse System

Looking at the heartwarming scene before him, Lü Bu was filled with emotion.

Half a year has passed since he transmigrated to the late Han Dynasty. He has been busy fighting, planning, and controlling the court, and rarely enjoys the warmth of family.

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, it's time to relax for a while.

"Please sit down, everyone. We're family, no need for formalities." Lü Bu sat down in the main seat.

Yan sat to his left, Diaochan to his right, and Lü Qiling next to her mother.

The maids began serving dishes—stewed mutton, steamed fish, roast chicken, a platter of preserved meats, various seasonal vegetables, and steaming hot dumplings.

"This year, things have turned out quite well." Madam Yan placed a piece of mutton on Lü Bu's plate. "I remember this time last year, Dong Zhuo was enjoying delicacies in Mei Wu, while we were stationed in Chang'an, and we were not doing well. Dong Zhuo didn't even give us the rewards he promised."

Diao Chan lowered her head and remained silent, for at that time she was one of the people enjoying delicacies in Dong Zhuo's mansion in Mei Wu.

It was because of her that Lü Bu and his son Dong Zhuo developed a rift, eventually leading to a blood feud and Dong Zhuo's execution.

The time-traveler Lü Bu didn't take it to heart and smiled at Madam Yan, saying, "The hard times are over, things will only get better from now on. Come on, everyone, eat."

The family ate and chatted happily.

Lu Qiling talked about interesting things at school, Madam Yan talked about the affairs of the household, and Diaochan occasionally talked about her experiences in the marketplace.

After a few rounds of drinks, Madam Yan suddenly turned pale and covered her mouth, gagging.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Lu Qiling asked hurriedly.

Diao Chan also stood up: "Sister, are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Bu's heart tightened as he considered a possibility and immediately ordered, "Quickly summon the physician!"

Before long, the physician arrived in haste. After examining Lady Yan's pulse, the physician's face lit up with joy, and he rose to bow to Lü Bu: "Congratulations, General! Congratulations! Lady Yan is pregnant; she has been pregnant for over a month!"

The hall fell silent for a moment, then everyone broke into smiles.

"Really?" Lu Bu suddenly stood up.

"Absolutely true," the physician affirmed. "The pulse is smooth and round like a pearl, undoubtedly a sign of pregnancy. The lady is in good health, and the pregnancy is stable."

Madam Yan stroked her lower abdomen, both surprised and delighted: "I...I'm really pregnant again?"

"I've got it! I've got it!" Lü Bu exclaimed with overjoyed joy. "I'm going to be a father!"

He transmigrated into the body of Lü Bu. Although he was married to Lady Yan, she was not the original owner of the body, and Lü Qiling was not his biological daughter.

But now that Yan is pregnant, it means that he will finally have his own bloodline in this era!

Lu Qiling jumped up with joy: "I'm going to have a younger brother or sister!"

A hint of envy flashed in Diao Chan's eyes (neither the original owner nor the transmigrator had deliberately prevented her from getting pregnant), but she quickly replaced it with a smile: "Congratulations, sister! Congratulations, General!"

Lu Bu grasped Lady Yan's hand and said gently, "Madam, please rest well. Leave the household affairs to the servants; you need not worry about them. Physician, from today onwards, you will examine Madam's pulse daily. Any necessary medicines and tonics can be taken from the treasury. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you responsible!"

The physician hurriedly replied, "This humble official will do everything in my power to ensure the lady's safety!"

That night, the General's mansion was filled with joy. Lü Bu was delighted and ordered all the servants in the mansion to be rewarded with 100 coins, 3 catties of meat, and a jar of wine. Laughter and merriment filled the mansion until late into the night.

On New Year's Eve, Lü Bu stayed up with Lady Yan until midnight. Only after Lady Yan had fallen asleep did he return to his study.

Sitting at his desk, Lü Bu was filled with emotion.

Having traveled to the present day, he has conquered Chang'an, stabilized Guanzhong, and recruited talents such as Jia Xu and Guo Jia. Now, he is about to have offspring.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

Just then, I heard soft footsteps outside the door.

"Has the General not rested yet?" It was Diao Chan's voice.

Lu Bu opened the door and saw Diao Chan standing outside with a bowl of hangover soup: "Chan'er, what brings you here?"

"I noticed the General has drunk quite a bit, so I've prepared a hangover soup." Diao Chan entered and placed the bowl of soup on the table. "Also, my sister asked me to pass on a message."

"What did you say?"

Diao Chan whispered, "My sister said that the General is now of noble status, but has few children. Since she is pregnant and unable to serve him, she should arrange for him to take a concubine to continue the family line. She has already chosen two women, both from good families, with excellent looks and character. She asked the General what he thought."

Lu Bu was taken aback.

He knew that in ancient times, the principal wife had the responsibility to arrange for her husband to take concubines, especially in powerful and wealthy families, where offspring were crucial to the family line. He just hadn't expected Madam Yan to be so magnanimous as to offer this suggestion herself.

"What is your identity?" Lu Bu asked.

"One is a Western Regions singing girl presented by Ma Teng, named Aisha, eighteen years old, skilled in singing and dancing, with a graceful figure," Diao Chan said. "The other is the daughter of a former official under the Prefect of the Capital, surnamed Du, named Xiuniang, sixteen years old, knowledgeable and reasonable, with a gentle temperament."

Lü Bu pondered.

The songstresses offered by Namateng could solidify relations with Xiliang, or even provide an opportunity to conquer it without a fight.

Du Xiuniang was the daughter of a Han Chinese official; taking her in would help win over some of the officials.

Since Madam Yan had already made the arrangements, it would be unseemly for him to refuse. Besides, he didn't want to refuse either.

"Since Madam has made the arrangements, let's follow her lead," Lü Bu said. "After the New Year, we will choose an auspicious day to bring her to our residence, and all the formalities will be conducted according to the rules."

"I understand." Diao Chan bowed. "Then, General, please rest early. I will take my leave."

Watching Diao Chan's departing figure, Lü Bu felt a pang of emotion.

Although he had already consummated his marriage with Madam Yan and Diao Chan several months into his transmigration, there was still a barrier between them. After all, they were the original owner's wives and concubines.

The new concubine he has now taken is the woman who truly belongs to him, Lü Bu.

Thinking of this, Lü Bu's lips curled into a slight smile.

While conquering the world is important when traveling back to ancient times, enjoying the benefits that power brings is also a given.

On New Year's Eve, the city of Chang'an was ablaze with lights. As soon as midnight struck, firecrackers went off one after another, announcing the arrival of the fourth year of the Chuping era (193 AD).

Lu Bu stood on the high building of the General's Mansion, overlooking the night view of Chang'an.

The city was ablaze with light, as people lit candles to mark the New Year.

In the distance, the Weiyang Palace was brightly lit, but no one paid attention to the young emperor anymore.

This world will ultimately belong to Lü Bu.

Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang, and also Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Liu Bei...

He, Lü Bu, will subdue them one by one, or defeat them one by one.

He has a system, top strategists like Jia Xu and Guo Jia, capable generals like Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and unlimited funds and supplies...

In this world, who else but me?

……

Just as Lü Bu had passed through his first peaceful year after his transmigration and was preparing to try to completely subdue Ma Teng and Han Sui after the New Year according to the advice of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, a messenger rushed into the city from the north gate of Anyi County, the capital of Hedong Commandery under the jurisdiction of the Sili Commandery. He rushed to the governor's mansion and startled Wang Yi, the governor of Hedong, who was eating millet cake with honey.

"Urgent message!"

"The Xianbei tribe of Kebineng from the northern desert has gone south to plunder the Hetao region. The Southern Xiongnu Chanyu has rebelled against the Han and surrendered to the Hu. They have joined forces with the Xianbei to invade the south and have already reached the territory of Shangjun, Xihe and Taiyuan, approaching Hedong. Please send troops to reinforce the three counties of Beiqu, Puzi and Yong'an."
