After twisting and turning, the Shanhai City Squadron finally stopped outside Yiling City. After obtaining the news, Cao Cao personally led the generals to welcome him.

"Qiyue Wuyi, exceptional!" Cao Cao gave him the thumbs up.

Ouyang Shuo smiled and bowed, "Prime minister is being too kind!"

"I heard that your Personal Guards Captain died on the battlefield." Cao Cao's expression changed; then he said, "How about I give Hu Chi to you?"

Hu Chi was Xu Chu, Cao Cao's bodyguard, and his Personal Guards Captain.

Ouyang Shuo was astonished; it seemed like Cao Cao knew that he was going to be in seclusion in the wilderness. Thinking about this point, he bowed deeply, "Thank you!"

Cao Cao giving Xu Chu, apart from Ouyang Shuo's position in the wilderness, had something to do with Xiahou Ying. No matter what, he was Cao Cao's relative, so he could be trusted.

Xu Chu, who was standing behind Cao Cao, was a little reluctant. He only slowly stepped out and bowed after Cao Cao's repeated instructions, "Greetings Monarch!"

"General please rise!"

Ouyang Shuo helped him up, thinking about Chen Dameng who had fallen, his heart was still broken.

Name: Xu Chu (King Rank)

Dynasty: East Han

Identity: Shanhai City General

Occupation: Advanced General

Loyalty: 65

Command: 70

Force: 86

Intelligence: 45

Politics: 25

Specialty: Ferocity (Raises combat strength of troops by 25%, raises troops movement speed by 15%)

Cultivation Technique: -

Equipment: Long Knife

Evaluation: Xu Chu carefully does his duty; he is a man of few words, exceedingly loyal.

The Xu Chu who stood before Ouyang Shuo was really tall and broad; he looked like a person with absolute strength. His presence while simply standing there would leave one feeling suppressed.

However, Xu Chu definitely was not a person whose body was developed but mind was not.

Let us talk about a story.

Cao Ren rushed over from Jingzhou. At that time, Cao Cao was still in his sleeping palace and had not come out. Cao Ren met Xu Chu outside and invited him to the side room to talk.

Xu Chu just said, "The king is coming out." Then he turned around to the hall. As a result, Cao Ren hated him.

Someone asked Xu Chu, "Cao Ren is an important minister and looked for you to talk, so why did you reject him?"

Xu Chu replied, "Although he is a relative of the king, he is a general that rules outside. I am in charge of defending the inside, so if he wants to speak, we can just talk openly. There's no need to speak privately."

When Cao Cao heard of this, he favored Xu Chu even more, promoting him to middle general.

This general was both courageous and had a sense of responsibility, so he was the best choice to be the guard. It was no wonder that Cao Pi favored Xu Chun after Cao Cao passed away.

Cao Cao's current actions actually showed his affection for Xu Chu.

After which, Cao Cao finally raised the question regarding the battle rewards; he smiled, "Speak, what reward do you want? As long as I have it, I can give it to you."

Hearing Cao Cao say such words, Ouyang Shuo truly had the desire to say that he wanted the strategist Cheng Yu. However, thinking about how Jia Xu had already followed him and obtaining Cheng Yu as well would cause them to compete; he realized that it was not a good idea.

In the end, Ouyang Shuo raised the request that he had thought of from the start.

"I would like someone!"

"Who?"

Cao Cao's eyes swept across Cheng Yu, Cao Zhen, Yu Jin, and the others with shining eyes. From his point of view, Ouyang Shuo wanted these generals and strategists.

"It's a singer known as Diao Chan."

"What?" Cao Cao was caught off guard. Then, he laughed and rubbed his beard, "I really could not tell that you liked beauties more than generals, ah!"

Ouyang Shuo laughed too, not retorting Cao Cao's statement.

12 years after Lu Bu lost, 15th year of Jian An, which was two years after the Battle of Red Cliff ended, Cao Cao built the Tongque Stage in Ye City.

Ouyang Shuo wanted Diao Chan to complete the B rank storyline quest The Four Beauties. Additionally, he was interested in Lu Bu and wanted to recruit him in the main map.

Calling Lu Bu the strongest person during Three Kingdoms was not an exaggeration.

However, despite his courage, he lacked a strategic mind. He only looked at the short term and lusted for money and beauties. He was enough to be a general but could not be a Lord.

Lu Bu had a clear understanding of this point.

During the Three Kingdoms Era, Lu Bu was originally a Lord and had faced Cao Cao before.

No matter what, Lu Bu was not a foolish person.

There was naturally a place for Lu Bu in Shanhai City.

In comparison, Ouyang Shuo leaving the generals could be understood. After all, Shanhai City was currently filled with star generals but lacked pure strength generals like Lu Bu.

Apart from that, Lu Bu had a few other generals under him. If Lu Bu came over to Shanhai City, it might give Ouyang Shuo an unexpected surprise.

...

Who knows how Gaia worked, but it was probably annoyed at Ouyang Shuo for remaining inside the battle map. Just two days later, Diao Chan arrived at Yiling and was handed over to Ouyang Shuo.

Although the current Diao Chan was over 30, she still looked beautiful.

Ouyang Shuo could not help but admire Gaia's ability to recreate people. It was actually able to recreate the looks of the Four Beauties of history.

He also had some doubts about whether Gaia's image was a merger of these Four Beauties.

"Greetings Monarch!"

It was too common for females during the Three Kingdoms to be sent away like gifts, especially someone as lowly as a singer.

Diao Chan was already numb to such matters.

When Ouyang Shuo saw that Diao Chan was anxious, he smiled, "Do not worry, I am not going to taint you."

Although she was pretty, she was already a married woman. Obviously, Ouyang Shuo would not be interested. Furthermore, he was not that type of person; if not, he would not still have only one wife.

When Diao Chan heard his words, she did not believe it.

Cao Cao had once said that but what happened in the end?

"When we return to the main map, you might have the chance to reunite with General Lu Bu. I'm willing to allow that to happen." Ouyang Shuo hinted, hoping that she would contact him.

"Really?" Hope flashed across her eyes.

"I never lie."

Ouyang Shuo did not explain anything and took the time to check Diao Chan's stats.

Name: Diao Chan (God Rank)

Title: Four Beauties of Ancient China

Dynasty: East Han

Identity: Shanhai City Resident

Occupation: Dancer

Loyalty: 70

Bone structure: 18

Comprehension: 14

Charm: 27

Luck: 7

Specialty: Praying to the Moon (Raises territory historical person attraction rate by 15%, raises territory charm by 15%, raises territory fame by 10%)

Evaluation: Originally a person of the Zhaoyang Palace, her body was so alluring that people would suspect that she was like a swallow flying past.

Her charm was even higher than that of Xi Shi. However, similar to Xi Shi, her luck stat was extremely low. Her specialty showed the effects of her high charm.

Ouyang Shuo was starting to look forward to the strong stats he would receive after he completed the quest.

After obtaining Diao Chan, Ouyang Shuo's time in the battle map came to an end.

He did not waste any more time, directly returning to the main map. However, when choosing the teleportation location, he sent the voyage squadron to Beihai Bay.

….

When they returned to the battle map, it was already the 9th month, 2nd day, morning.

When Ouyang Shuo returned, a system notification sounded out.

"System Notification: the Battle of Red Cliff has officially ended, the historical people from East Han have officially entered the game."

...

The Lords who missed out on the Battle of Red Cliff could start their crazy search for the generals and strategists of the Three Kingdoms.

No matter what, Ouyang Shuo who had obtained Zhou Yu, Jia Xu, Xu Chu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Diao Chan was the biggest winner.

Following which, there was another system report.

"System Notification: Shu Emperor Liu Bei officially moves in, Chengdu Imperial Court changed to Shu Han Emperor. Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Ma, Jiang Wei, and other related personnel will automatically enter the Shu Han Empire."

...

The moment the notification sounded out, it broke the hearts of many Lords.

Just like that, it meant that they would not be able to recruit 75% of the historical people of the Three Kingdoms Era.

Apart from those named by the system, there was Ma Liang, Ma Dai, Wei Yan, Xiong Cong, Hu Ji, Wang Ping, Guan Ping, Guan Suo, Guan Xin, Yan Yan, and more; they were all added to the Shu Han Empire.

The Chengdu in the wilderness would be even stronger than in history. After all, Gaia had placed all the historical people of the Shu Country into his rule.

Such a lineup shocked even Ouyang Shuo.

It was no wonder that Ouyang Shuo would want to kill Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Dao. If he had the chance, he would have even wanted to kill Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun.

The escape of Zhuge Liang left many variables.

The Zhuge Liang in history was not as strong a strategist as shown. However, he was truly a god in terms of administrative matters.

In internal affairs, he could be compared to Xiao He.

With him present, the internal affairs of Chengdu would naturally be fine. Along with the fact that in the wilderness, the emperor did not need to bother about a large territory, their energy would be more focused. Hence, it would be harder to deal with them.

Chengdu was located in the Shu Land, connected to Yunnan Province, Chuanbei Province, and Xiangnan Province. If Shanhai City wanted to take down Shu in the future, it would have to fight them.

These two huge giants would have to fight sooner or later.
