After bidding farewell to his family, Mu Qing went to the camp of Lu Bu's Third Legion. He gathered 20,000 soldiers and prepared to leave Xiapi City in a grandiose manner. They were heading to the distant northern border of Xu Prefecture, Yueling City.
A few days ago, Lu Bu had already gathered all the troops stationed in the various Grade 2 Cities. This was the suggestion of Lu Bu's military advisor, Chen Gong.
Instead of scattering the troops, it was better to gather them together. If they lost those Class 2 Cities, they could just take them back later. To Lu Bu's army, there were only two cities that they had to defend. They were the imperial city Xiapi and Xiaopei, the two Class 1 main cities.
As the main camp of Lu Bu's army, Xiapi City had to be defended. Once Xiapi City fell, Lu Bu's army would be completely defeated.
Xiaopei City was the economic lifeline of Lu Bu's army and the place where resources were gathered. It was responsible for providing all kinds of supplies to Lu Bu's army. They could not lose it either.
Currently, Lu Bu's army had three legions. The first and third legions were in Xiapi City, while the second legion led by Zhang Liao was guarding Xiaopei City.
At the gate of Xiapi City, Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi had also come to send Mu Qing off.
"Little Mu Qing, I'll leave this important task to you. You must help my Lu Bujun fight for more time.”Patting Mu Qing's shoulder, Lu Bu's voice was heavy. This battle was crucial to Lu Bu's army, as it concerned whether they could hold on until the reinforcements of Sun Wu arrived.
After nodding at Lu Bu, Mu Qing looked at Lu Lingqi, who was beside him, and smiled,""Don't you have anything to say to me?”
"What can I say to you? Just come back alive.”Lu Lingqi snorted coldly.
"..." Mu Qing was speechless for a moment before he turned around and left on his warhorse...
"You must come back alive!" Looking at Mu Qing's departing figure, Lu Lingqi clenched her fists and prayed in her heart.
This Lu Lingqi was a typical example of a person who did not mean what she said. She said that she did not care about Mu Qing's life or death, but she was worried to death in her heart…
………………
Yueling City was located at the northern border of Xu Prefecture. It was one of the two Grade 2 cities occupied by Liu Bei's army. It was guarded by Liu Bei's general, Guan Yu, and his army of about 15,000 soldiers.
There was also a Level 2 City called Shu City. This Shu City was the main camp and capital of Liu Bei's army. It was where the main forces of Liu Bei's army gathered. The name Shu City was personally given by Liu Bei.
Although Liu Bei's army wasn't considered strong, and they couldn't even rank in the top five in this chaotic world, Liu Bei's ambition was huge. Although they did not establish a country, they had always called themselves Shu, just like the name of the country. They had the intention of developing Liu Bei's army into a dynasty. The soldiers in Liu Bei's army had always called themselves Shu soldiers and generals, as if they were born superior to the generals of the other factions.
After marching for several days, Mu Qing and the 20,000 soldiers of Lu Bu's army finally arrived at the mountain range not far from Yueling City and hid.
In order to not expose their whereabouts, Mu Qing had already led 20,000 Lu Bu soldiers to cross the main roads and mountains towards Yueling City before entering Liu Bei's territory. Although doing so would consume a large amount of stamina, the advantage was that they would not be detected by Liu Bei's spies and would be able to enter Liu Bei's territory without anyone noticing.
The enemy was in the light while they were in the dark. This way, the Mu Qing Army had the initiative and a certain advantage.
"Young Master, are we…going to attack Yueling City directly?”Raven asked Mu Qing, who was looking at the distant High Mountain City.
Mu Qing, Raven, and Aria stood on the peak of a tall mountain. From here, they could see the general outline of Yueling City.
Rolling his eyes, Mu Qing couldn't even be bothered to answer Raven.
This girl was a little silly. Why would I attack her directly? If I were to attack directly, would I still need to have my troops climb over the mountains and avoid Liu Bei's scouts and sentries, and carefully rush to this hidden forest?
If Lu Lingqi was here, she would never ask Mu Qing such a " stupid " question.
" I've already sent people to Yueling City to gather information. Before the news returns, all we have to do is wait…" Mu Qing already had a plan in his heart.
"In addition, pass down my order. No fire is allowed in the encampment. Once Guan Yu's army discovers that we are hiding here, all our efforts will be in vain.”" Let's go!" Mu Qing instructed Arilla. The ice beauty nodded and leaped down from the mountain, rushing to the encampment of Mu Qing's army not far away.
With Aria's strength, a few thousand meters was nothing. Even if she fell from ten thousand meters, Aria would be fine.
" When will the battle start? My hands are itching…" Raven's face was bitter. Compared to waiting here, she preferred to have a big battle with the enemy.
"Mengmeng, you're not suitable to lead troops into battle. You're only suitable for battle.”Mu Qing stared at Rui Mengmeng, who had a bitter expression on her face, and said.
Mu Qing now understood why Raven was not put in an important position in Noxus. It was true that she had strength, but fighting a war was not just about strength, but also... brains.
Obviously, the adorable Raven didn't have the brains for war and wasn't cut out for it.
"Young Master, are you looking down on me?”Raven furrowed her brows in dissatisfaction.
"No, why would I despise my Mengmeng?”Pinching Raven's cheeks, Mu Qing chuckled.
"Under normal circumstances, we can fight Guan Yu's army head-on. With you and Arilla around, we naturally won't be afraid of Guan Yu's army in a head-on battle. However…don't forget our goal. We want to buy some time for Lu Bu's army. We might be able to defeat Guan Yu's army in a head-on battle, but have you thought about the casualties?”Mu Qing said slowly.
"The price to pay for facing Guan Yu's army head-on is too great. Our army cannot afford to pay such a price. "Therefore, I want to annihilate this Guan Yu Army with the least casualties. This is the first time I, Mu Qing, have led an army into battle since I came to this world. After this battle, I want to let this chaotic world know my name!”Who didn't have ambition? Mu Qing's ambition was definitely not small. If he wanted to establish himself in this chaotic world, he needed not only strength but also reputation.
Without enough reputation, who would join you? Who would be willing to join you? Mu Qing's vision was not limited to this small Xuzhou. Sooner or later, Mu Qing would make Lu Bujun his own faction! He wanted Lu Bu to become his subordinate! He wanted all the forces in this chaotic world to submit to him!
"Young Master, I understand. I'll listen to you and do whatever you want me to do!”Mu Qing's words made Raven's blood boil.
There should be more updates today, so the author should continue to work hard!!
