Building a workstation around a laptop

I am looking to get a new laptop and am considering the Asus ZenBook 13 UX331UA which has HDMI and USB-C on it. I currently have 3 monitors that I'd like to be able to use. I also have a keyboard and mouse I would like to hook up. I am looking for the simplest solution to set this all up. I would ideally use 3 monitors but at the least 2 (not including the laptop screen which would be closed when docked). I also would like it so that it is as few cables to connect to dock and un-dock.

 

Suggestions on how I can do this?

Do you need three monitors? What are you doing with it?

I ended up with 2 monitors and the laptop screen since my laptop doesn't support any of the 3 monitor docking stations (well out of 6 I tried none allowed more than two) And yes I need 3 monitors even that is a bit low for what I do. I don't game at all and I mostly do work with code as well as system administration. I have a home lab and I also do DevOps work at home so having more monitors is nice.
