Chapter Eighty-Three: It's Snowing!
Qiao Xuan Qiao Guolao only has two daughters, big and small Qiao, and she is usually very precious!
When Qiao Xuan found out that the two daughters who were hiding from the war in Haixi were plundered by Lu Bu's family to the land of Sanhan, Qiao Xuan immediately panicked.
Because, Qiao Xuan knew from others that Lu Bu had a bad reputation and some good women, if his two daughters were plundered by Lu Bu, their ending could be imagined.
So, Qiao Xuan, who was worried about the size of Qiao, ignored the distance and danger of the road, and hurriedly set off from Lujiang County, Yangzhou, to the Wenhou Mansion, which had moved from Xingbacheng in Wenjun County to Xiangping in Liaodong, to look for his two daughters.
Sure enough, Qiao Xuan found that his two daughters were infected by Lu Bu, and suddenly, Qiao Xuan, who was over half a hundred years old, blew his beard and glared, his face turned red, and he was almost angry to death.
Fortunately, Xiao Qiao appeased Qiao Xuan in time, and told their father that the two of them followed Lu Bu, Lu Bu loved them very much, and now they are living well and happily, so Qiao Xuan doesn't have to worry about them.
At this point, Qiao Xuan could only reluctantly accept this irreversible fact.
Lu Bu knew that his father-in-law was talented and could be the Taishou of a county, and Qiao Xuan was his own person, so Lu Bu invited Qiao Xuan to be the Taishou of Lelang County.
Qiao Xuan saw that his two precious daughters had become the concubines of Lu Bu, the princes, what if there were no powerful people outside to support them, and then they were bullied, so Qiao Xuan agreed to Lu Bu's invitation and became the Taishou of Lelang County from then on.
Anyway, Qiao Xuan felt that his body was quite tough, there was no problem in living seventy or eighty, at least twenty years of career, and when he was old and couldn't do it, if the two daughters and Lu Bu had children, they should also grow up, and they didn't need him to support them, and he could retire honorably!
For the sake of his two precious daughters, why not!
Lu Bu didn't know how to read minds, so he naturally didn't know what Qiao Xuan thought, and seeing that Qiao Xuan promised to be the Taishou of Lelang County, Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief.
Because, the four counties under Lu Bu's rule all have candidates for Taishou, which makes Lu Bu feel a lot more at ease, and Lu Bu can free up his hands to do other things.
In the four counties, the appropriate places in the tuntian, the expansion of the scale of papermaking and compilation, the establishment of Wenxue and the cultivation of talents are also carried out at the same time, and they are handed over to Guoyuan, Wang Lie, and Guan Ning to give full play to their strengths.
Lü Bu also expanded the number of his army, and the surrendered Liaodong Army and Goguryeo soldiers, plus the newly recruited elite, the number of ordinary soldiers has reached 40,000, which were handed over to Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Hao Zhao, Liu Yi and other generals to command.
At the same time, Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry has also expanded from 4,000 to 10,000, and they are training in full swing every day to enhance their combat effectiveness.
Because, Lu Bu knew that the Wuhuan entrenched in the subject country of Liaodong and Liaoxi County was a nation on horseback, and their strongest combat effectiveness was cavalry, and Lu Bu's territory was adjacent to their territory, and sooner or later there would be a war.
In addition, Lü Bu needed to obtain the vassal states of Liaodong and the counties of western Liaoning, open roads, and advance westward at the right time to conquer Yuan Shao's territory and population.
What's more, there are many alien races around Lu Bu, and the alien races such as Fuyu and Xianbei are also eyeing Lu Bu's forces, so Lu Bu naturally needs to be on guard.
Now, the four counties under the rule of Lü Bu all have Taishou, and at the same time, the Goguryeo people have sinicized, tuntian, paper-making, book compilation, Wenxue, and expansion of the army...... Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
The four counties of Liaodong, Xuansu, Lelang, and Wenjun under the rule of Lu Bu are developing rapidly in terms of economy, people's livelihood, and military combat effectiveness.
Time was also passing quietly, and this morning, Lu Bu walked out of Cao Qi'er's room, and was surprised to find that it was snowing outside, and it had snowed overnight.
Whether it is on the ground, on the rooftops, or on the distant mountains, the white snow glows silver under the rising sun, which is very beautiful.
"Wow...... Husband, it's snowing! It's beautiful! At this time, Cao Que'er, who came out of the room, suddenly exclaimed.
Cao Que'er used to live in Xuzhou, very little snow, even if it doesn't rain, it doesn't rain, but now when I see so much snow outside overnight, it's like a white world, extremely beautiful, so that Cao Que'er suddenly became interested.
"Hee-hee-......" Cao Que'er suddenly rushed out of the room, came to the courtyard outside, picked up a ball of snow and threw it into the sky, and then, the snow scattered and fell down, making Cao Que'er extremely happy, like a happy elf.
Seeing Cao Que'er's appearance at this time, Lu Bu immediately smiled bitterly.
"Husband, look at the move." At this moment, Cao Qi'er became naughty, and the slender jade picked up a ball of snow and beckoned to Lu Bu's body.
"Bang ......" The ball of snow smashed smoothly on Lu Bu's body, making Cao Que'er smile even more happily.
"How dare you smash your husband?" After speaking, Lu Bu also picked up a ball of snow and threw it at Cao Que'er.
Seeing that Cao Que'er was having such a good time, Lu Bu would not interrupt Cao Que'er's interest, and it was rare to relax, so Lu Bu and Cao Que'er had a snowball fight.
Xiao Qiao, who got the news, and Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi also ran out of their respective rooms and joined Lu Bu and Cao Qi'er in a snowball fight.
It's just that the three of them all helped Cao Que'er deal with Lu Bu alone, and for a while, Lu Bu's body was covered with snowflakes, and he was very embarrassed.
Yan Yao and Diao Chan, who have been pregnant for several months and watched from the side with a big belly, couldn't help but feel distressed.
Lu Bu played a snowball fight with Cao Qi'er, Xiao Qiao, and daughter Lu Lingqi for a long time, and then comforted Yan Yao and Diao Chan, so that the pregnant women could stay indoors in the snowy weather to avoid getting cold.
And Lu Bu came to the front yard of Wenhou Mansion, where Lu Bu usually works.
In a heavy snowfall, there are many things that Lu Bu needs to do personally.
Fortunately, when occupying the counties of Liaodong and Goguryeo, like the Wen county, Lü Bu ordered local officials to help each household build or sew warm facilities, such as fire kangs and wool coats, so that the people of the four counties of Lü Bu could survive the cold winter safely.
You must know that after a heavy snowfall, the weather cools down rapidly, and many people can't bear the cold winter, or get sick, or freeze to death......
Lu Bu's good deed naturally won the love of the people of the four counties under Lu Bu's rule, whether it was the Han people, or the Goguryeo people who were in the process of sinicization, the Sanhan people, and the Northeast Wofu people, who respected Lu Bu as a god and regarded Lu Bu as their reborn parents.
You must know that no prince can treat them as sincerely as Lu Bu as ordinary people who have no power or power, like Gongsun Du, Yi Yimo and other former lords, who only know how to exploit them and make them miserable.
Now, they are the people of Lu Bu's rule, which makes them feel very honored.
If Lu Bu is in need, they are willing to pay with their lives to repay Lu Bu's kindness to them!
