Chapter 24: Birth of a child, first fraud
In the backyard of General Zuo’s mansion, time passed by minute by minute.

Liu Wu and Madam Gan were waiting anxiously. Even though Liu Wu knew that with the system, Madam Mi would not be in danger of giving birth like other women of that era.

However, hearing those screams, Liu Wu still felt very distressed.

“Wow wow wow~”

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, the sound of a baby crying reached the ears of Liu Wu and Madam Gan, shocking everyone in the courtyard.

“Give birth?” Liu Wu asked in surprise.

No wonder Liu Wu was so surprised. Although he had married a wife and concubine in Hefei a long time ago, he was not sure whether he could stay safe in this chaotic world, so he did not have children.

In other words, the child born by Mrs. Mi was his first child.

Mrs. Gan’s pure and delicate face also showed joy.

“Crack!”

At this time, the door of the delivery room opened, and the midwife, sweating profusely, came out holding a wrapped baby and congratulated Liu Wu:
“Congratulations, sir. Your wife has given birth to a boy. Both mother and child are safe!”

“Mother and child are safe, it’s a boy, Sister Mi is so awesome!” Before Liu Wu could be happy, Mrs. Gan said happily first.

As she spoke, Mrs. Gan walked towards the midwife with her belly that was nearly nine months pregnant.

Liu Wu was very happy when he heard that it was a boy. Seeing Mrs. Gan walking over excitedly, he hurriedly supported her.

Liu Wu looked at the ugly little guy in the midwife’s arms. Although he was prepared, he couldn’t help feeling a little disgusted.

This little guy really looks so ugly.

Mrs. Gan, who was originally delighted, was also shocked by the ugliness of the scene.

Don’t hug anymore.

However, Liu Wu took the baby from the midwife, after all, he was his son.

The moment Liu Wu touched his son, a prompt sound rang in his mind, causing Liu Wu’s pupils to shrink suddenly.

[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to a son. This child is upright, tenacious, and persistent. If you cultivate his patriotism, he can serve the country and the people, and have a high sense of loyalty and responsibility for the country. The system’s comprehensive evaluation shows that the highest compatibility with Li Mu, a famous general of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period, is 73%. If the compatibility exceeds 60%, you can make a deal. ]

[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to a son. Do you want to borrow the name of Li Mu, a famous general of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period? After borrowing the name of Li Mu, the child will have all the talents and qualifications of Li Mu.]

Liu Wu listened to the prompt in his mind, holding the baby and trembling slightly, his eyes brighter than ever.

What did he hear?
Can his first son compare to the talent and qualifications of Li Mu, a famous general of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period?

That was Li Mu, one of the outstanding generals of the Warring States Period, both in terms of military talent and historical status.

First of all, the outstanding achievements:
During his lifetime, Li Mu “drove the Chanyu in the north, defeated the Donghu, annihilated the Tanlin, suppressed the powerful Qin in the west, and supported Han and Wei in the south.” He was one of the outstanding generals of the six eastern countries in the late Warring States Period.

He successfully resisted the repeated invasions of the Huns and defeated more than 100,000 Hun cavalry, making the Huns dare not approach the border of Zhao for more than ten years.

In the war with the State of Qin, Li Mu also performed outstandingly, defeating the Qin army many times and making great contributions to the survival and development of the State of Zhao.

Secondly, the strategy is brilliant:

Li Mu is good at using various tactics to deal with different enemies, especially defensive counterattack tactics.

For example, when fighting against the Huns, he adopted the strategy of building strong defenses, clearing the fields, conserving strength, and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. He eventually defeated the Huns by using the tactic of encircling the enemy from both wings.

In the battles with the Qin army, he was able to flexibly adjust tactics according to the enemy situation and terrain, and achieved a series of victories.

Once again, he managed the army well:

Li Mu also had great talent in military management. He focused on the training and discipline of the army, and improved the combat effectiveness of the army through strict training and reward and punishment system.

At the same time, he was very concerned about the lives and treatment of the soldiers. He often slaughtered a few cows to reward the soldiers and treated the soldiers well, which made the soldiers very loyal and respectful to him.

Li Mu, Bai Qi, Wang Jian and Lian Po are known as the “Four Famous Generals of the Warring States Period”, which is enough to prove his important position and outstanding contributions in history.

Undoubtedly, Li Mu was very powerful both in military talent and historical status. His military achievements, tactics and military management skills made him an outstanding general and military strategist during the Warring States Period.

The little guy in front of him can take advantage of Li Mu’s talent!
Liu Wu’s breathing was a little rapid. If he were allowed to recruit Li Mu as his general, he would probably be very happy.

However, he was not so excited and encouraged that his own son could become a person like Li Mu.

One is a family member, the other is an outsider, the feeling is undoubtedly different.

Liu Wu said in his heart without hesitation.

[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to a son, who is a descendant of Li Mu, a famous general of the State of Zhao during the Warring States Period. The child has all the talents and qualifications of Li Mu.]

[Host’s progress in acquiring the first ability: 1/3]

“Wow wow wow~”

The prompt sound rang out and he could hear the baby crying. Looking at his son in his arms, Liu Wu was quite happy. His ugly appearance became pleasing to the eye.

After all, this little guy is extraordinary.

“Husband, let’s go in and see how my sister is doing, right?”

Mrs. Gan on the side was really not interested in this ugly little guy, and said to Liu Wudao.

“Okay, Zhen’er is a hero of the Liu family, and she can’t be ignored!”

Liu Wu suppressed his excitement, and thought of Madam Mi who had just suffered great pain, and said with heartache.

Liu Wu held his son and Mrs. Gan into the prepared delivery room.

In the delivery room, Mrs. Mi looked pale and very weak. When she saw Liu Wu coming in, a smile appeared on her face.

“Husband, it’s a son. Let me see my son.”

Although Mrs. Mi was very weak, her joy was evident on her face. She seemed extremely satisfied to have given birth to a son.

This is actually the case.

From the first day she found out she was pregnant, Mrs. Mi was overjoyed.

It is true that in this era, a mother’s status is determined by her children. Without children, one has no status and no confidence.

In such an environment, even Mrs. Mi was no exception.

“Zhen’er, thank you for your hard work.”

Liu Wu spoke to the weak Mrs. Mi with heartache, while placing his son in front of Mrs. Mi.

“So ugly…” Mrs. Mi couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw her son. She seemed to be in disbelief that she had given birth to such a…

“Zhen’er, all children are like this. They will be fine when they grow up.” Liu Wu was speechless and comforted Mrs. Mi with a smile.

After hearing Liu Wu’s words, Mrs. Mi overcame the discomfort in her heart, felt the blood connection, and a happy smile appeared on her weak face.

“This is my son!”

Mrs. Gan, who was standing by, was relieved to see that Mrs. Mi was fine, and then she said:

“Husband, this child doesn’t have a name yet, please give him a name quickly.”

Liu Wu was very casual with Mrs. Gan, saying that his son wanted to complain about the child, but seeing that Mrs. Gan looked really expectant, she was thinking seriously about the name of the child.

“Let’s name him ‘Mu’, Liu Mu. The original meaning of the word ‘Mu’ is to herd livestock, that is, to drive and take care of cattle, sheep and other livestock with a whip or branches. But this original meaning embodies diligence, meticulousness and a sense of responsibility.”

“I hope Mu’er will be diligent and persistent in the future and excel!”

Liu Wu hesitated slightly, but finally named his son “Mu”. This Mu refers to Li Mu, the son of the Liu family.

“Liu Mu? Hardworking, meticulous and responsible? Okay, husband, from now on our son will be named Liu Mu!”

Mrs. Mi was delighted when she heard the name Liu Wu gave to her son and the expectations it expressed.

You should know that in ancient times, names were not chosen randomly, but all had meanings.

Mrs. Mi had just given birth and was very tired, so she fell asleep soon. Liu Wu handed little Liu Mu to the wet nurse.

Soon, the news that Mrs. Mi had given birth to a child in the Left General’s Mansion spread throughout Wancheng. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu and others were all shocked when they heard the news.
