Upon learning that her future husband shared the same surname as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Himiko immediately agreed to the marriage proposal.

Similar to the Kiyama Izumi tribe, in addition to the ceasefire treaty, Yuan Shao also signed a commercial exchange treaty and a concession treaty with the Himitai tribe.

Two days later, Yuan Shao led his delegation and escorted Himiko away from there, heading towards their last target, the Cangji Tuo tribe.

Seeing that the other two tribes had already agreed to the Han's conditions, and that he was isolated and helpless, the leader of the Cangji Tuo tribe had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Thus, Yuan Shao's mission to Yamatai came to a successful conclusion.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Chu You, as well as the officials and soldiers in the city, happily gathered together and held a grand banquet to celebrate Yuan Shao's victory.

Single-handedly, he launched a coup in an enemy country, not only recovering war reparations for the Han Dynasty and forcing the three tribes to pay tribute annually, but also bringing back their queen.

These deeds of Yuan Shao were incredibly inspiring to everyone.

In this campaign, Yuan Shao undoubtedly deserved the greatest credit.

During the banquet, Yuan Shao, who had previously been neither prominent nor obscure, unknowingly became the star of the show, receiving everyone's respect and adulation.

After a few cups of fine wine, Cao Cao, his cheeks slightly flushed, leaned closer to Liu Bei and asked with a wicked grin:

"Xuande, you should drink less. Don't you have important business to attend to tonight?"

"That's right. Since Benchu ​​went to great lengths to make this happen for me, I naturally can't let him down, can I?"

Liu Bei smiled nonchalantly, and the image of Himiko's delicate face and petite figure involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

"Hehe, it seems like this is Xuande's first time interacting with a woman. Would you like me to teach you something useful?"

Cao Cao chuckled and winked at Liu Bei, looking like he was saying, "Good brother, I'll help you."

"No need. It's more interesting to figure these things out on your own!"

Liu Bei waved his hand, directly refusing Cao Cao's "kind offer".

"Tch, how boring!"

Cao Cao pursed his lips, then got up and went to find Sun Jian, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to have a drinking contest.

Cao Cao had few hobbies: women and masculine men.

Although he was no match for these guys in terms of physique and martial arts skills, Cao Cao still preferred to befriend them.

He felt that being with these powerful people could be summed up in two words.

Safety! !

As night deepened, the banquet ended, and everyone returned to their respective rooms.

As soon as Liu Bei entered the room, his eyes widened, staring intently at the figure sitting on the bed.

Himiko had her hair styled in a Han Chinese-style bun, with a jade hairpin inserted diagonally into it. Her watery eyes shone with a hint of spring passion, and her blushing cheeks resembled newly blossoming peach blossoms.

Her petite figure, clad in a pink, semi-transparent silk blouse, exuded a hazy, ethereal beauty under the candlelight.

"Gulp!"

This scene made Liu Bei swallow hard.

"My lord, it is late, please rest in peace!"

Seeing Liu Bei standing there staring blankly at her, Himiko rose and bowed to him.

"Okay!"

Coming to his senses, Liu Bei nodded in agreement, then closed the door and went forward.

As he approached, Liu Bei grasped Himiko's delicate, slender hand, and his heart immediately burned with excitement.

Immediately, Liu Bei swept him up in his arms and carried him toward the bed.

Immediately afterwards, a series of beautiful sounds rang out...

The next day, Liu Bei walked out of the room rubbing his lower back. Although he looked tired, the slight upturn of his lips revealed his contentment.

"Xuande, beauties are wonderful, but you must take care of your health and never hurt yourself!"

Just then, Cao Cao walked over with a sly smile on his face.

Ignoring Cao Cao's teasing, Liu Bei asked directly, "What brings Mengde here?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao's expression turned serious: "Now that the three southern tribes of Yamatai have been pacified, it's time to deal with the remaining two northern tribes. We should resolve them as soon as possible so that we can return to the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Bei nodded: "Mengde is right. The northern grasslands are becoming increasingly unstable, and we really cannot linger here for too long!"

Afterwards, the two walked together toward the military camp and began to discuss their next move with Yuan Shao, Sun Jian and others.

Inside the central command tent, everyone sat together.

Yuan Shao stood up and said, “Gentlemen, when I went to negotiate with the three tribes, I also inquired about the situation of the two northern tribes. According to them, although they are all part of the Yamatai Kingdom, those two tribes are far away from the three southern tribes.”

The terrain there is long and narrow, with many mountains and forests, making it unsuitable for large-scale warfare.

Moreover, the towns are far apart, some even going six months without contact, making it impossible to forage locally. If our army were to deploy too many troops, it would likely consume a great deal of manpower and resources!

After hearing Yuan Shao's explanation, everyone frowned.

Sending too many troops would make it impossible to guarantee supplies, but sending too few troops would make it impossible to deal with them in a short time. This was a real dilemma.

Seeing this, Chu You laughed and said, "Generals, do we really have to take action ourselves to defeat the two northern tribes?"

Cao Cao's expression shifted: "Hmm... does the Chu envoy mean to send the people of the Bimitai and Cangjituo tribes to attack them?"

Chu You nodded: "Anyway, we need a lot of slaves. Letting them send troops to capture them is much more time-saving and labor-saving than sending our own troops."

Moreover, recently, an increasing number of scions of prominent families, merchants, and wandering knights have crossed the sea to help us; their assistance is far more beneficial than our army acting alone.
