After a while, the Shanhai fleet finally docked outside Yiling. Upon receiving the news, Cao Cao personally led his generals to welcome them.
Cao Cao gave a thumbs up. "How can you say that you have no clothes?
Ouyang Shuo smiled and bowed. "You flatter me, Prime Minister!"
"I heard that your captain died on the battlefield." Cao Cao's expression changed. Without waiting for Ouyang Shuo's reply, he continued, "How about I entrust Tiger Fanatic to you?"
Tiger Fanatic was Xu Chu, Cao Cao's bodyguard and captain.
Ouyang Shuo was shocked. It seemed that Cao Cao knew that he had to retire in the wilderness. Thinking of this, he bowed deeply again and said, "Then I'll accept your invitation!"
Cao Cao entrusted Xu Chu not only because of Ouyang Shuo's position in the wilderness, but also because of Xiahou Ying. No matter what, Xiahou Ying was Cao Cao's relative and trustworthy.
Xu Chu, who was standing behind Cao Cao, looked reluctant. Under Cao Cao's constant signals, he slowly stepped forward and bowed to Ouyang Shuo. "Greetings, my lord!"
"General, please rise!"
Ouyang Shuo helped Xu Chu up. He still felt a little sad when he thought of Chen Dameng's death.
[Name]: Xu Chu (King Level)
[Alias]: Tiger Fanatic
[Dynasty]: Late Eastern Han Dynasty
[Identity]: General of Shanhai City
[Occupation]: Advanced General
[Loyalty]: 65
[Commander]: 70 [Force]: 86 [Intelligence]: 45 [Politics]: 25
[Specialty]: Brave (Increases troop attack power by 25, increases troop speed by 15)
[Skill]: Omitted
[Equipment]: Long sword
[Evaluation]: Xu Chu is cautious and follows the law. He is a man of few words. He is loyal and talented.
Standing in front of Ouyang Shuo, Xu Chu was more than eight feet tall and had a wide waist. He looked brave and brave. Xu Chu was a real big guy. Just by standing there, he gave people a sense of oppression.
However, Xu Chu was not a simple-minded person.
Chen Shou described Xu Chu as "cautious and follows the law. He is a man of few words".
Let me tell you something.
Cao Ren came from Jingzhou to pay his respects. Cao Cao had not yet come out of his bedroom. Cao Ren met Xu Chu outside the hall and invited him to sit down in a side room.
Xu Chu only said one sentence, "The King of Wei is coming out soon." Then he turned around and went back into the hall to avoid incurring Cao Ren's hatred.
Someone asked Xu Chu, "Cao Ren is an important minister of the royal family. Why did you refuse to talk to him?"
Xu Chu replied, "Although he is an important minister, he is also a general who guards the border. I, Xu Chu, am in charge of internal security. If we want to talk, we can do it in public. There's no need to talk in private. "
When Cao Cao heard about this, he liked Xu Chu even more and was promoted to a central general.
This kind of general was brave and knew his duty. Moreover, he was loyal. He was the best choice for the Emperor's imperial bodyguard. It was no wonder that Xu Chu was still trusted by Cao Pi after Cao Cao passed away.
Cao Cao's act of entrusting Xu Chu also reflected his fondness for Xu Chu.
After entrusting everything, Cao Cao finally brought up the issue of the military reward. He smiled and said, "Tell me, what reward do you want? As long as I have it, I can give it to you. "
It was rare for Cao Cao to be open-minded for once.
Hearing Cao Cao's words, Ouyang Shuo had an urge to kill Cheng Yu. However, when he thought about how Jia Xu had just pledged allegiance to Cao Cao, it would not be good if Cheng Yu and Jia Xu fought.
In the end, Ouyang Shuo made the request that he had thought about from the beginning.
"I want to ask the Prime Minister for a person."
"Who is it?"
Cao Cao's gaze swept across Cheng Yu, Cao Zhen, Yu Jin, and the others. In Cao Cao's opinion, Ouyang Shuo probably wanted these fierce generals and strategists around him.
"It's a songstress. Her name is Diao Chan."
"What?!" Cao Cao did not react for a moment. He then laughed and stroked his beard. He pointed at Ouyang Shuo and said, "I can't tell that you love beauties more than fierce generals!"
Ouyang Shuo smiled and did not refute.
Twelve years after Lu Bu's death, which was the 15th year of Jian 'an, two years after the end of the Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao built the Bronze Sparrow Pavilion in Ye City. He used various performers to practice singing and dancing, including Diao Chan.
Ouyang Shuo wanted Diao Chan. Firstly, it was to complete the previously triggered B-level storyline mission, Four Beauties. Secondly, it was because he had his eyes on the fierce general Lu Bu. He wanted to subdue him on the main map.
No one would doubt that Lu Bu was the most valiant person in the Three Kingdoms.
However, Lu Bu was valiant but lacking in strategy. He was short-sighted, greedy, and lustful. He did not see the big picture. He could be a general, but he was not good enough to be a vassal.
Lu Bu himself had a clear understanding of this.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Lu Bu had been a vassal and had fought Cao Cao head-on.
No matter what, Lu Bu was not a fool.
Such a Lu Bu would naturally be useful in Shanhai City.
In comparison, it was understandable that Ouyang Shuo would give up on a fierce general like Yu Jin. After all, Shanhai City was filled with famous generals. What it lacked was a pure fierce general like Lu Bu.
Other than that, Lu Bu still had a few generals under him. If Lu Bu came to Shanhai City, he might be able to give Ouyang Shuo a surprise.
…
It was unknown how Gaia operated. Perhaps Ouyang Shuo was annoyed, but he still stayed on the battle map. Two days later, Diao Chan was brought to Yiling and handed over to Ouyang Shuo.
Although Diao Chan was already over thirty years old, she still had a beauty that could overshadow the moon and put flowers to shame.
It was truly a feast for the eyes.
Ouyang Shuo could not help but be impressed by Gaia's ability to create women. They were actually able to recreate the legendary Four Great Beauties in history. Moreover, they still retained their charm.
He even suspected that Gaia's own image was a combination of the Four Great Beauties.
"Your concubine greets the Lord!"
During the Three Kingdoms period, it was very common for women of low status like Diao Chan to be sent around as' gifts' by the nobles.
Diao Chan was already numb to this.
Ouyang Shuo saw that Diao Chan was a little nervous. He smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. I have no intention of touching you."
Although Diao Chan was beautiful, she was still a woman. How could Ouyang Shuo be interested? Moreover, his ambitions did not lie here. Otherwise, he would not only have Song Jia as his main wife.
When Diao Chan heard this, she did not believe it.
Cao Cao had said the same thing before, but what happened?!
"When you return to the Main Plane, you may have a chance to reunite with General Lu Bu. I will be happy to help you." Ouyang Shuo pointed at Diao Chan, hoping that she would take the initiative to contact Lu Bu.
"Really?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Diao Chan's eyes.
"I never lie."
Ouyang Shuo did not explain further. He checked Diao Chan's attributes.
[Name]: Diao Chan (God Tier)
[Title]: One of the Four Great Beauties of ancient China
[Dynasty]: Late Eastern Han Dynasty
[Identity]: Resident of Shanhai City
[Occupation]: Dancer
[Loyalty]: 70
[Root Bone]: 18 [Comprehension]: 14 [Charm]: 27 [Fortune]: 7
[Specialty]: Worshipping the Moon (Increases the attraction rate of historical figures by 15, increases the territory's charm by 15, increases the territory's popularity by 10)
[Evaluation]: She was originally from Zhaoyang Palace. Her body was in the palm of her hand. She only suspected that she had flown over Dongting Spring. She walked steadily through Liangzhou. She was like a new flower in the wind. Her painting hall was warm and fragrant.
Diao Chan's charm was even stronger than Xi Shi's, but just like Xi Shi, she was a person with little fortune. Her specialty, Worshipping the Moon, fully utilized the effects of her high charm. It was truly impressive.
Ouyang Shuo began to look forward to completing the Four Great Beauties' storyline mission. Gaia would reward him with the title of City of Charm.
After receiving Diao Chan, Ouyang Shuo's time on the battle map came to an end.
He led his troops back to the main map without any reluctance. However, when he chose to teleport, he chose to teleport the fleet to North Sea Harbor.
It was already the morning of September 2nd when he returned to the main map.
As soon as Ouyang Shuo returned, he heard a system announcement.
"System Announcement: The Battle of Chibi has officially ended. The main historical figures of the Eastern Han Dynasty have been automatically added to the game. Please explore on your own."
…
The lords who had missed the Battle of Chibi would be able to launch a new round of crazy pursuit of the generals and strategists of the three kingdoms in the wilderness.
Regardless, Ouyang Shuo would be the biggest winner of the battle after obtaining the eight historical figures of Zhou Yu, Jia Xu, Xu Chu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Diao Chan.
Soon after, another system announcement appeared.
"System Announcement: Liu Bei, the Emperor of Shu, has officially taken control of Chengdu. The Chengdu court has been replaced by the Shu Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Jiang Wei, and other famous officials and generals have been automatically added to the Shu Han Dynasty. "
…
The announcement broke the hearts of countless lords.
This meant that more than a quarter of the talents of the three kingdoms were no longer with them.
Apart from those named by the system, Ma Liang, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Ma Chi, civil officials, Wei Yan, Ma Dai, Xiang Chong, Hu Ji, Wang Ping, Liao Hua, Guan Ping, Guan Suo, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Yan Yan, and Li Yan would all be added to the Shu Han Dynasty and serve under Liu Bei.
Chengdu in the wilderness would be even more powerful than Liu Bei's heyday. After all, Gaia had placed all the historical figures of the early and late Shu under Liu Bei's command.
Ouyang Shuo was a little shocked by this lineup.
It was no wonder that Ouyang Shuo had killed Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Di in advance. If he had the chance, even Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun would not have been able to escape.
Now that Zhuge Liang had escaped, there would be no end to his troubles.
The historical Zhuge Liang was indeed not as godly in terms of military strategy as described in the novels. However, in terms of internal affairs, Zhuge Liang was truly powerful.
In terms of internal affairs, he was probably on par with Xiao He and the others.
With Zhuge Liang overseeing Chengdu, there would naturally be no problems with internal affairs. Moreover, in the wilderness, the emperor would not have to worry about his vast territory. He would have more energy and would be more difficult to deal with.
Chengdu was located in Shu, bordering Yunnan Province, Northern Sichuan Province, and Southern Hunan Province. If Shanhai City wanted to conquer Shu in the future, they would inevitably have to compete with Shu Han.
There would eventually be a battle between the two giants.
