Seeing Lu Ming's gritted teeth, Hu Sanniang felt a shiver run down her spine. To be honest, she knew the force of such intense thrusting would be incredibly pleasurable.
And whenever Lu Ming made that expression, it meant she was about to experience her ultimate ejaculation.
That exquisite feeling of being internally ejaculated into was something she would never forget!
Half a month later, Lu Ming led his army back to the capital.
Chang'an was still incredibly prosperous…
This time, Lu Ming didn't launch another attack. Instead, he sent others to first contact Zhang Yan and try to persuade him to surrender.
Only then would he enter Ji Province and Ye City. He didn't want the situation in Ji Province to disrupt his plans.
He could choose not to take Ye City, but he wouldn't let Yuan Shao take it either.
To stop Yuan Shao, he had to consider whether Gongsun Zan in the north would get involved.
The White Horse Cavalry was not weak in combat; converted to units, they should be considered a level three troop type.
If the White Horse Cavalry hadn't numbered less than a thousand, Gongsun Zan would likely have already unified the north.
The native third-tier troops were indeed formidable, forged through constant battles against foreign tribes in the borderlands.
They weren't significantly different from the troops assigned by the system, only differing in the commander's ability.
On his first day back, Lu Ming spent his days discussing matters with Xu Shu and Jia Xu.
Only at night did he return to comfort his beloved wives and concubines, indulging in their intimate moments.
He couldn't leave; he had to cover for his mother, ensuring she could successfully give birth to the child of their incestuous relationship!
"Wenhe, Yuanzhi.
I plan to persuade Zhang Yan to surrender and need an envoy. What do you think? Do you have any recommendations?"
Lu Ming asked. He wanted to appoint Jia Xu as prime minister. Jia Xu, after all, was a renowned scholar, well-versed in literature and skilled at navigating human nature; appointing him prime minister, overseeing all affairs of state, was indeed the best choice.
Xu Shu, as Minister of War, was responsible for foreign strategic matters.
The two were one a civil official and the other a military strategist…
Moreover, both were exceptionally intelligent strategists, capable of discussing and deliberating together.
With them guarding the rear, this was the combination that gave Lu Ming the greatest peace of mind.
Relying on the natural defenses of Guanzhong, there was actually no real threat.
Even if Hangu Pass were breached, there was still Tong Pass, making it a secure position.
The stability of Xiliang lay in Lu Ming's perfect prestige among the Qiang people; as long as the Qiang did not rebel, Xiliang remained stable.
After the Silk Road was reopened, the small kingdoms of the Western Regions dared not act recklessly. Some county towns with fewer than ten thousand inhabitants dared to call themselves kingdoms—it was truly laughable.
Xu Shu and Jia Xu exchanged a glance and both laughed heartily.
"Prime Minister, please."
"No, no, no, Minister Xu, please.
This matter should be handled by Minister Xu; I will assist from the sidelines."
Jia Xu maintained his usual self-preservationist approach, wanting to avoid getting involved in anything…
Besides, being Prime Minister was already exhausting.
He was now eager to cultivate some capable subordinates to share the burden.
Lu Ming, seeing Jia Xu's unchanged demeanor, felt a little helpless. This guy was just like that, completely unwilling to take responsibility, even as Prime Minister.
However, it was precisely because of Jia Xu's nature that he got along harmoniously with all the officials…
And he never made a mistake in his duties.
Xu Shu nodded, looking at Lu Ming with a smile, "My lord, a few days ago, a renowned scholar and persuader visited Chang'an. I happened to speak with him, and he agreed to pledge his loyalty to Qin.
This man is none other than Mi Heng, a famous scholar from Pingyuan!"
"Mi Heng?"
Lu Ming's expression turned somewhat strange upon hearing this, for Mi Heng was one of the most notorious trolls of the Three Kingdoms period.
Compared to Chen Lin's refined insults that avoided profanity, Mi Heng could infuriate people to the point of wanting to kill.
Back then, Mi Heng was only twenty years old, while Kong Rong was already forty, yet the two still became friends.
Kong Rong submitted a memorial to Emperor Xian of Han recommending Mi Heng.
Kong Rong deeply admired his talent and praised him to Cao Cao on several occasions.
Cao Cao also wanted to meet him, but Mi Heng, who always looked down on and disliked Cao Cao, claimed to be mad and refused to go…
Moreover, he made many arrogant remarks about Cao Cao.
Cao Cao harbored resentment, but because of Mi Heng's talent and reputation, he didn't want to kill him.
Cao Cao heard that Mi Heng was skilled at drumming, so he appointed him as a drummer.
One day, Cao Cao held a grand banquet for his guests and inspected the drummers' performances.
As each drummer passed by, they were asked to remove their original clothes and change into the drummer's special attire.
When it was Mi Heng's turn, he played the "Yuyang" drum piece. His appearance and demeanor were extraordinary, and the rhythm and sound of the music were mournful, moving all who heard it.
Mi Heng went straight to Cao Cao and stopped. A subordinate scolded him, "Why do you dare to enter without changing your clothes?"
Mi Heng said, "Fine!"
He first removed his inner clothes, then the rest, standing there naked. He then slowly took off the drummer's special attire, put it on, finished playing the drum, and left, showing no shame whatsoever.
Cao Cao laughed and said, "I intended to humiliate Mi Heng, but Mi Heng has humiliated me instead."
After Kong Rong returned, he reprimanded Mi Heng and, incidentally, mentioned Cao Cao's sincerity towards him.
Mi Heng agreed to apologize to Cao Cao.
Kong Rong visited Cao Cao again, saying that Mi Heng had developed madness and now requested to come in person to apologize.
Cao Cao was overjoyed and ordered the gatekeepers to announce the arrival of any guest, and waited for Mi Heng until late.
Mi Heng, however, dressed in ordinary clothes and a simple turban, held a three-foot-long staff, sat at the camp gate, and pounded the ground with the staff, cursing Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was furious and said to Kong Rong, "That Mi Heng, I can kill him as easily as killing a bird or a mouse.
But this man has always had a reputation for dishonesty, and people far and near will think I cannot tolerate him. Now, I will send him to Liu Biao. What do you think?" "
So he sent men to escort Mi Heng away.
Liu Biao and the scholars of Jingzhou had long admired Mi Heng's talent and reputation. After Mi Heng arrived, they treated him with great respect. No document or discussion could be finalized without Mi Heng's opinion.
Liu Biao once drafted a memorial with several scholars, all of whom exerted their utmost effort.
Mi Heng was out at the time. When he returned and read their draft, he felt that Liu Biao and the others' interpretations were not rigorous enough, so he tore up the memorial and threw it on the ground.
Liu Biao was puzzled and frightened.
Mi Heng then asked for pen and paper and immediately wrote a new one, the language and meaning of which were impressive.
Liu Biao was very pleased and valued him even more.
Later, Mi Heng insulted and belittled Liu Biao. Liu Biao felt deeply humiliated and could not tolerate it. He believed that Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, was impetuous, so he sent Mi Heng to Huang Zu instead."
