Chapter Nine, The Lü Family Has a Daughter

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

I do not agree! Lü Lingqi fearlessly met Lü Bu's gaze and said stubbornly: "Although my martial arts are not as good as my father's, they are not bad either. Why can’t I go to the battlefield to kill enemies? I also want to use the weapon in my hand to protect my family and my father"

If Cao Cao were to engage in psychological warfare with Lü Bu as he did last night, given the current state of these soldiers, it is likely that a single wave would be enough to breach the city, and Lü Bu would not dare to let his guard down

Inspired by Lü Bu, a soldier defending the city began to exhibit extraordinary ferocity. This battle raged from morning until sunset, with the defenders on the city walls rotating in shifts. However, Lü Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun remained steadfast on the front lines, repelling wave after wave of fierce assaults launched by Cao's army. It was not until sunset, accompanied by the sound of drums echoing from Cao's camp, that Cao's forces gradually retreated like a receding tide. In Cao Cao's words, the timing was nearly right; next, they would just wait for Lü Bu to dig his own grave.

Cao Jun did not cease the attack due to Lü Bu's anger; instead, after the flames extinguished beneath the city, they launched an even more frenzied assault. Although Lü Bu was furious, at that moment, he had no time to dwell on such matters. With the Fangtian Huaji in hand, he vented his frustration by sending the soldiers of Cao Jun, who were climbing the city walls one after another, flying in the most explosive manner.

"Let’s not worry about that for now. Since you want to be a soldier, you must solve all problems on your own." Lü Bu grunted softly and did not continue on this topic: "Come with me to take a look at the public platform."

The troops have finally withdrawn

"I do not have it." Lü Lingqi raised her head, defiantly looking at Lü Bu, and the tears in her eyes were surprisingly retracted, leaving Lü Bu, as well as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun beside him, dumbfounded.

Lü Bu paused for a moment but did not turn back, continuing to stride forward. Since a decision had already been made, there was no need for further persuasion. It would depend on her own ability to navigate this damned world and see how far she could go.

Mr. Yuanhua?" Looking at Chen Gong, who was deeply asleep on the bed, Lü Bu frowned and turned to Hua Tuo. Although he had already gained an understanding of the system's functions, seeing Chen Gong's pale complexion at this moment, which showed no difference from before, still left Lü Bu very worried

Dragging their somewhat weary bodies, a group of three arrived outside the Chen Palace with the accompaniment of guards

As the lights begin to glow, the city of Xiapi is enveloped in silence. The common people have extinguished their lamps early and huddle in their homes. Not to mention the night, even during the day, few dare to venture out onto the streets

It is not that Lü Bu looks down on women, but rather that he is constrained by the times. How many of the famous female heroes in history are truly real? Hua Mulan? The women of the Yang family? I am sorry, but those are merely tales from unofficial histories; there is no record of them in the official historical texts.

"Is fighting fun?" Lü Bu finally broke the oppressive atmosphere, casting a cold gaze upon his adopted daughter. His voice revealed no emotion, yet the entire hall felt an indescribable tension as Lü Bu spoke, even seasoned warriors like Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who had long endured the rigors of battle, experienced a sense of trepidation.

If we continue at the current pace, we should be able to finish by the night after tomorrow at the latest. Even if the speed slows down or even ceases afterward, by the night after tomorrow, some movements should not be affected.

My lord, is this..." Zhang Liao turned to glance at Lü Lingqi, hesitating as he looked towards Lü Bu. Just as Lü Bu had thought, he too did not believe that allowing a woman to go to the battlefield was a good idea. Although Lü Bu spoke lightly of it, if Lü Lingqi were to truly appear on the battlefield, who would dare to regard her as just a mere soldier?

In recent days, thanks to the assistance of the gentleman, many lives of soldiers in the army have been saved. Lü wishes to establish a medical team specifically responsible for rescuing injured soldiers on the battlefield, in order to reduce casualties. Lü Bu smiled and said, "Hua Tuo is undoubtedly a top talent, but unfortunately, he was born in the wrong era. If it were modern times, with Hua Tuo's medical skills and ethics, he would certainly become a top talent that countless prominent figures would vie to recruit. Unfortunately, in this era, let alone the later Cao Cao, even now, Lü Bu's command could determine his life or death. Although it seems somewhat distant now, the future belongs to those who are prepared. Such a top talent in the medical field, Lü Bu still wants to take a chance.

Father!" Lü Lingqi suddenly raised her head, her clear voice carrying a hint of suppressed anger

"What is the gentleman saying? Why must we march?" Lu Bu cast a deep glance at Hua Tuo; this old man not only possessed remarkable medical skills, but his insight was also quite extraordinary

Hmm? Lu Bu turned his head and looked at this cheap daughter. His feelings towards her were quite complex. For him, this was a form of unfamiliar kinship, yet blood is thicker than water. The affection that his predecessor had for this daughter had already seeped into his very bones. This bond, stemming from blood, also influenced the current Lu Bu.

Lü Bu sat on a mat with a gloomy expression, kneeling. To his left and right stood Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, both wearing bitter smiles as they looked at the obedient girl kneeling in the center of the main hall

"My lord, Lingqi is also concerned about our safety, and her abilities are not to be underestimated. Many soldiers privately admire her, saying that a tiger's father does not have a dog for a daughter," Zhang Liao said with a smile.

"Because you are a woman!" Lü Bu snorted coldly, looking at Lü Lingqi, who was holding back tears in her eyes. His heart softened slightly, and he shook his head with a sigh: "There is only one thing; you are not qualified. A true warrior can bleed, can lose their head, but will never shed tears."

I know! '' Lü Lingqi stood up, looking at the back of Lü Bu, her clear voice carrying a sense of determination

Call ~ ''

Under the pitch-black night sky, only the governor's residence remains brightly lit at this moment, standing out conspicuously in the darkness

"I would rather she were a dog girl," Lü Bu snorted coldly, standing up to look at Lü Lingqi and said, "The battlefield is a man's world. From today onwards, do not let me see you on the battlefield again! It is getting late, everyone should go rest."

Indeed. Since Lü Bu has spoken, the two could only nod in agreement

Before Qin Shi Huang unified the world, there were indeed many female generals, among whom the most outstanding was Fu Hao from the early Shang Dynasty, who is also recognized as the first remarkable female commander in ancient China. However, she was a product of a matriarchal society, which may have been acceptable to the people of her time, but in this era, even the verbal criticism from the scholars of the world could drown a person.

However, a game is just a game. In the feudal era, the status of women was low. Not to mention foreign tribes, even in the so-called land of propriety, the Central Plains, the status of women was not necessarily high. Lü Bu recalled a passage, whether from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or from unofficial histories, where Liu Bei, in distress, encountered a family in the wilderness. The head of that household, in order to entertain Liu Bei, killed his wife and cooked her for food, which later became a well-known story.

Watching the retreating Cao army like a receding tide, Lü Bu let out a heavy sigh of relief. Many soldiers around him, unable to bear the strain, simply sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

Turning away, without looking at Lü Lingqi, he left directly with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. A day had already passed in the three days' time, but if Cao Cao continued to attack recklessly as he did today, Lü Bu did not know if he could hold out until that day.

You must be clear that this era belongs to men. Even if you are my daughter, Lü Bu, if you wish to achieve success on the battlefield, you are destined to exert tenfold or even a hundredfold more sweat and blood than others. Because you are my daughter, you will have to sacrifice a great deal. While others may attain the rank of Colonel or General with similar accomplishments, you can only become a Tuntian leader or even a Shizhang. " Lü Bu looked at Lü Lingqi and said coldly: "Do not think that being my daughter grants you any privileges. Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Once you step onto the battlefield, you can only have one identity: that of a soldier!"

Even Lü Bu himself did not understand why, upon clearly seeing that figure, a surge of anger suddenly welled up within him. It was not true anger, but rather a kind of anxious concern. Although the frail figure displayed considerable ability at that moment, Lü Bu was deeply unwilling for the other party to appear on the battlefield. This feeling stemmed from the deepest memories ingrained in his very being.

Who is the Lord of Xiapi? They do not care; they only hope that this damned war will end soon. In this chaotic world, when will it come to an end?

Lü Lingqi, the daughter of Lü Bu, was once a game planner in her previous life. To enhance the appeal of the game, among the well-known female generals in the Three Kingdoms, such as Diao Chan and the Two Qiaos, Lü Lingqi stands out in various Three Kingdoms games. She possesses both beauty and martial prowess, making her a highly sought-after female general. In any Three Kingdoms game, Lü Lingqi is recognized for her exceptional talent, embodying the spirit of a woman who does not yield to men.

Governor's Office, Grand Hall

"Lord Wen need not worry." Perceiving the concern in Lü Bu's heart, Hua Tuo's eyes sparkled with a hint of excitement as he said, "Mr. Gongtai's response was quite smooth, even exceeding my expectations."

Oh? Hua Tuo looked at Lü Bu with confusion

A look of astonishment flashed in Hua Tuo's eyes: "In my lifetime as a physician, this is the first time I have encountered a situation like that of Master Gongtai. At this moment, there is something within him that is continuously repairing and even strengthening his body, something more miraculous than any elixir."

"Lord Wen, just take it as a jest from this old man," Hua Tuo said with a smile

Lü Bu let out a heavy sigh, turned to his deputy and said: "Notify Hao Zhao that today the patrol personnel will stay in the city for the night watch, while the others return to the barracks to rest."

"There is an old gentleman." Lu Bu nodded, realizing that some matters need not be explicitly stated. After a moment of thought, Lu Bu turned to Hua Tuo and smiled, saying, "There is something I would like to discuss with you, sir."

Oh? Upon hearing this, Lü Bu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He naturally knew what kind of miraculous thing Hua Tuo was referring to, something even more extraordinary than elixirs. He then asked, "In your opinion, when can Gongtai recover?"

This is also an important reason for Lü Bu's anger. Although Lü Lingqi's talent is indeed remarkable, with attributes that even surpass those of Hao Zhao after one training session, and her spear skills demonstrated today are exceptionally outstanding, even so, this does not justify her charging into battle. This is the tragedy of the times; no matter how outstanding one may be, it is still difficult to gain the recognition of the world in this era
