Zhu Rong was, after all, a beauty among the barbarians, and countless men secretly admired her.
A woman's fighting prowess was astonishing enough, but combined with Zhu Rong's beauty, no man could resist her.
Now that this southern barbarian goddess had been taken by a lover, married, and become a queen, it was far better than living a life of poverty here.
After one night, Lu Ming was filled with energy.
While still here, he began the transformation project.
He kept the chieftains behind, found an area, surveyed it, and created a detailed map.
He divided the area into sections suitable for planting and animal husbandry, and marked out a road—the main road, the future construction site.
The army, meanwhile, made on-site preparations and began quarrying stone and collecting materials.
Lu Ming took the materials and began construction, building kilns—enough to fire the stone.
After a day of firing, the stones can be crushed, ground into lime, and mixed into mortar.
Combined with a specific ratio of sand, lime, and water, cement can be formed.
In the steam age, such a rudimentary cement road would easily collapse.
However, the carriages of this era were not heavy, so the requirements could be lowered, and reinforcement could be carried out later.
During the day, they were busy, and at night they returned to the camp to have sex with Zhu Rong.
Each time, Zhu Rong would cry out in pain, unable to get up the next day.
After seven days, the road from Yongchang to the border of Yuesong County was almost completed.
Yang Yuhuan and her sisters were also brought over and moved with Lu Ming's camp.
Besides serving him at night, they also had to stay by his side during the day, the four sisters taking turns, allowing Lu Ming to satisfy his lust anytime, anywhere.
Farmland was cultivated, and wild boars and pheasants were brought to the livestock breeding areas.
In addition, Lu Ming spent several days providing free medical consultations, treating many barbarian civilians.
Some incurable ailments were cured one by one under his healing skills.
In this era, even incurable diseases had corresponding treatments.
The most common remedy was spider orchid tea combined with ginger tea; the former boosted immunity, while the latter aided digestion and nutrient absorption.
Any illness could show improvement in just a few days, a surprisingly rapid process.
Lu Ming stroked his chin, watching his reputation steadily rise.
Furthermore, with the development of infrastructure and his free medical consultations, his reputation in the Southern Barbarian region had reached its maximum!
And upon reaching the maximum, an achievement appeared.
"Title triggered: King of the Southern Barbarians."
"King of the Southern Barbarians: You conquered Nanzhong by force and won over and subjugated the barbarian tribes using unique strategies.
Whether they are barbarian kings and leaders or ordinary people, they are all grateful to you and willing to submit to you.
During your lifetime, the Southern Barbarians will never rebel, and you will provide them with soldiers and provisions."
Looking at this title, Lu Ming knew that he had finally conquered Nanzhong.
As long as Nanzhong remained stable, Yizhou would not be in chaos.
Moreover, within two years, after the roads were completed,
a steady stream of provisions and soldiers could be sent to Jiangyou and Guanzhong, giving him the confidence to continue expanding his territory.
To put it bluntly, occupying Guanzhong only allowed him to establish a separatist kingdom; to achieve great things, he still needed to continue expanding his territory and recruiting talent.
Now, having conquered Yizhou, Lu Ming's power had expanded significantly to half of the Eastern Han Dynasty's territory.
The path to supremacy has always been about controlling the north and then advancing south. Only Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded by conquering from south to north.
Lu Ming's strategy, however, is to attack from west to east, inevitably opening two fronts.
His only constraint is the availability of sufficient talent under his command.
Having subdued the local faction in Yizhou, he has enough control over the province, but further expansion requires recruiting capable individuals.
At the temporary palace in Yuesong County, soldiers are stationed outside…
In the innermost part, Lu Ming and his concubines reside.
Lu Ming holds a letter in his hand, delivered by Jia Xu.
It's not good news, but bad news.
While reading the letter, he reaches down to touch the constantly throbbing head beneath him.
When the woman raises her face, he can see that it is indeed the legendary beauty Yang Yuhuan!
A voluptuous, voluptuous beauty was now diligently pleasing him, sucking on his thick, long penis without any disgust for its filth, as if it were something precious, licking it fiercely.
The bad news Jia Xu brought was that almost all the talented people in Yingchuan had been divided up, or rather, they didn't think much of him and had gone to join other groups.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and others, some even went to Luoyang, wanting to support the emperor.
The most typical example was Xun Yu.
This talent in managing logistics was no less than Xiao He's.
Cao Cao was able to wage war without pressure because Xun Yu was in charge of the rear, allowing him to focus on supplies and manpower.
During the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were locked in a stalemate for more than half a year. Without Xun Yu's support, he probably would have been defeated in less than two months, collapsing due to insufficient supplies.
This was both a good thing and a bad thing.
Without Xun Yu, Cao Cao's logistics would certainly be in disarray.
And with Xun Yu, would Emperor Xian of Han be up to any tricks?
A small mouth opened and took the large, menacing glans into her mouth, skillfully sucking and licking it, occasionally using the tip of her tongue to probe and rub the urethra…
A slight itch rose from the glans, instantly dissolved by the warm, forceful sucking of the small mouth, transforming into an intense, tingling pleasure that spread from the glans to the base of the penis, causing her testicles to twitch excitedly…
The penis hardened, pressing against the small, fragrant tongue, and a gush of excited pre-ejaculate spurted from the urethral opening!
She glanced at the man with seductive allure, then lowered her head, extending her fragrant tongue to the tip of his penis, quickly swirling it along the glans with her saliva.
Then, one hand pressed against the base of the penis, gently stroking it, while the other hand lightly brushed against the man's scrotum with her fingers. This gave Lu Ming immense satisfaction. When it came to seductive charm, Yang Yuhuan was truly irresistible.
Yang Yuhuan's oral skills undoubtedly pulled Lu Ming back from his thoughts, drawing him to the alluring beauty.
Lu Ming's heart burned with desire. He pulled Yang Yuhuan up and lifted her into his arms.
Amid her gasp, he pressed against her already wet vaginal opening, forcefully parting her plump labia with his waist.
