The Three Kingdoms: Zhaolie, the strategist, and the rise of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 25 From now on, Mr. Li is our military advisor! (Please read on!)
"The military advisor is already over twenty years old and is at the right age to get married."

"Mi Zhu of the East Sea has a fortune of over 100 million, and his sister is also a lady from a wealthy family."

"You two are a perfect match. If the military advisor doesn't mind, I will host your wedding."

"How do you think, sir?"

Liu Bei said to Li Yi with a smile.

He had just appointed Li Yi as his military advisor, one reason being naturally because he admired Li Yi's talent.

The second was to elevate Li Yi's status.

A military advisor is basically his deputy and will always be a future high-ranking power figure.

As a powerful family in the East China Sea, if the Mi family could marry the military advisor, the two families could be bound together.

From now on, we prosper together and suffer together.

Li Yi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Old Liu would really plot against him.

This reminded him of san11, and he would often match people up for his subordinates.

In this way, even Lu Bu will be loyal to you and devoted to you.

Of course, reality is definitely not as exaggerated as in the game.

But marriage is indeed a common political tactic.

Lao Liu's goal should be to hope that his financial backer and military advisor would unite.

Only when the subordinates are more united can they unleash greater power.

Otherwise, Zhang Fei and Cao Bao would be negative examples.

Another reason is that Lao Liu himself is really not lustful and has no interest in getting married.

Looking back on his life, except for the fact that his wives died of illness many times in his early years and he had to remarry.

There are only a few wives with names and surnames, and most of them are political marriages.

Marrying Wu Yi's sister was to gain the support of the Yizhou Group.

Marrying Sun Xiaomei was to promote the alliance between Sun and Liu.

The reason why Liu Bei married Lady Mi was because he had a PY transaction with Mi Zhu at that time.

Lady Gan had no background, so Liu Bei had to take a concubine to continue the family line because his legal wife at that time was unable to give birth to a child.

Moreover, these wives all died of illness, or like Sun Xiaomei, left voluntarily before they were remarried.

I have never said that marrying a wife is just for pleasure.

On the other hand, Lao Cao next door,

There are fifteen people with names and surnames, and some of them are married women.

She gave birth to twenty-five sons and six daughters.

"Wei Wu wields the whip" is not just talk.

Lao Cao likes beautiful women, so what does Lao Liu like?

According to historical records, it is called:

——"The first lord liked dogs, horses, music, and beautiful clothes."

Liu Bei liked to raise dogs and horses, wear beautiful clothes and listen to music.

Liu Bei admired Mi Zhu, but he was really not interested in his sister.

If it weren't for political needs, Liu Bei had no interest in marrying a wife. He preferred to be with his brothers.

However, Liu Bei would still be interested if he could bring about a marriage between his military advisor and his financial sponsor.

Just like he also helped Zhao Yun to arrange a marriage.

"How can a man with amazing talent be without a wife and children?"

"Sir, are you worried that Miss Mi is ugly and you don't dare to marry her?"

"If that's the case, I can introduce you two to each other first. If you really don't like it when we meet, it won't be too late to refuse."

"How do you think, sir?"

Liu Bei was considerate enough not to arrange a marriage for Li Yi and he took Li Yi's feelings into consideration.

Li Yi thought that he had traveled through time, so he might as well make the best of it. Sooner or later, he would get married and start a family.

Xuzhou is Lao Liu's base and is tied to his own interests.

As the richest family in Xuzhou, the Mi family has enormous wealth.

In the future, I will need money to reorganize Xuzhou and develop production.
If I could become the son-in-law of the Mi family, it would definitely be of great help to my future career.

What's more, Mrs. Mi in history was also virtuous and kind, and she would definitely be a good wife.

Don't hold yourself back.

Thinking of this, he said:

"I dare not deceive you, my lord. In the past, the Champion Marquis once said: 'How can I care about my family if the Xiongnu is not yet destroyed?'" "I originally thought that I would talk about the love affair with my children after my lord had settled the important matter."

"But since this matter concerns the great cause of the lord, there is no reason for Yi to refuse."

"But the Mi family is a prominent family in the East Sea, and I am just a commoner. Even if I become the lord's military advisor, I am still inexperienced and cannot convince others."

"I'm afraid the Mi family won't tolerate it."

Li Yi is also a very strong-willed person. He would rather have sex with his wife than marry into her family. It is absolutely impossible for him to be a son-in-law who marries into the wife's family.

Liu Bei said without hesitation:
"Mi Zizhong and I have a very close personal relationship, so I will go there in person to act as matchmaker and guarantor."

"What do you think?"

Liu Bei definitely had good intentions.

In ancient times, there was deep class prejudice among the aristocratic families.

Although Li Yi is famous now, he has no background.

If he could rely on the Mi family in Donghai and become the son-in-law of the Mi family, it would definitely be of great help to his position in the army.

After hearing this, Li Yi shook his head and said:
"The Mi family is a prominent family, and they look down on me, a commoner."

"If I still have to rely on others to sponsor my marriage, it will only make their family look down on me even more."

"It's safest to rely on myself."

Liu Bei frowned slightly, "What's the military advisor's plan?"

Li Yi touched his chin and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't worry, my lord. I have a plan in mind. I will definitely make Mi Zizhong like me as a person, instead of relying solely on political pressure."

"I'll just have to trouble you, my lord, to introduce me to him when the time comes."

"Don't worry, I'll just give you a heads up later..."

Liu Bei nodded and agreed immediately.

"Since you have your mind set on this, I won't worry too much about it. Just do what's convenient for you."

Although he said this, he was wondering in his heart what means Li Yi would use to impress the heart of this wealthy man from the East China Sea?
So I couldn't help but remind him again:
"Although Mi Zizhong was born into a merchant family, he is an honest gentleman."

"I think as long as you treat others sincerely, they will treat you sincerely."

This can be considered as Liu Bei sharing his experience in dealing with people and things.

Li Yi cupped his hands in gratitude:
"My lord, your kind words are always in my mind."

After a slight pause, he continued:

"In this case, the matter of the Mi family can come to an end for the time being. The next step is..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard the rustling of footsteps outside the house.

A servant in green clothes and a small hat walked in quickly, bowed and said:

"Sir, the three generals have arrived."

...Yide?
Liu Bei was slightly stunned, only to find that the sky had already brightened without him noticing.

He and Li Yi had a long conversation all night long.

Time flies by so fast...

Liu Bei was about to order someone to invite Zhang Fei in, but he heard Zhang Fei's rough laughter.

The next second, Zhang Fei rushed in alone.

“…Brother!”

"Oh? The gentleman is here too."

Li Yi stood up and said with a smile:

"...It seems like Brother Yide doesn't want me here."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said:

"Oh! That's not the case, sir, please don't misunderstand me."

"I was just curious. The sky was just getting light, so I thought I came early enough."

"I didn't expect that the gentleman would arrive earlier than me."

Li Yi secretly found it funny that he didn't leave at all and just stayed there the whole night.

Isn’t it earlier than you?

Liu Bei stood up and said seriously:

"...Yide, Mr. Li is now the military advisor of our army."

"When you see him in the future, you should see him as you see me, and respect him as you respect me."

"Don't lose your manners."
