Although this was not the information age, the speed at which news spread was still astonishing. The news of Mu Qing defeating Guan Yu's army and occupying Yueling City spread throughout the entire Xu Prefecture at an extremely fast speed. Everyone who heard it was shocked.
Who was Guan Yu? In this chaotic world, one of the top super generals, one of the two pillars of the Shu army, had actually been defeated? And it was a huge defeat! Defeated to the point where he had no face left…
20,000 of Lu Bu's army had killed 8,000 of Guan Yu's soldiers and captured 3,000 of them, forcing Guan Yu to give up Yueling City and flee back to Shu City.
Overnight, Mu Qing's name spread throughout the entire Xu Prefecture. Everyone knew about him.
At the same time, the news of Mu Qing's victory over Guan Yu's army had also reached the headquarters of Lu Bu's army, Xiapi City.
After learning of this news, countless soldiers of Lu Bu's army were extremely excited, and the morale of Lu Bu's army soared.
That was Guan Yu's army! The Guan Yu Army, known as one of the strongest armies in the Shu Army, had actually been defeated! And it was a crushing defeat!
Vice Commander Mu Qing was simply godly!
One had to know that even the ruler of Lu Bu's army, Lu Bu, had never led his troops to defeat Guan Yu's army. What even the Ghost God Lu Bu could not do was actually done by Mu Qing…
In an instant, Mu Qing became the idol of countless Lu Bu soldiers.
God of War!
He became a god in one battle!
The unlucky Guan Yu, Guan Ping, and the others became the background of Mu Qing's God-Sealing Battle. It was precisely because of Guan Yu and the others that this battle was particularly extraordinary.
In the City Lord's Mansion of Xiapi City, Lu Bu's face lit up when he heard the news. He could hardly contain his excitement.
"Mu Qing, this kid, he really gave me face! Defeating Guan Yu's army with less than 100 casualties, leaving Guan Yu's army with only 3,000 soldiers. They had no choice but to flee back to Shu City! Lingqi, this is something that even your father couldn't do, but your deputy did it."”
It could be seen that Lu Bu was really happy and excited.
To Lu Bujun, this was definitely a piece of exciting news. The morale of the entire Lu Bujun would soar.
"That guy is really powerful.”Lu Lingqi pursed her lips and thought to herself.
If not for this battle, Lu Lingqi would not have known that Mu Qing was so powerful in battle.
"Lord Lu Bu, the military counselor has returned from River East!”
At this moment, a hurried voice came from outside the meeting hall. A messenger hurried over, followed by Lu Bujun's military advisor, Chen Gong.
"Could this be a double blessing? Gongtai is back too, haha…What good news did you bring me?”Lu Bu asked.
" Lord Feng Xian…" Chen Gong's expression was ugly. He seemed to want to say something but hesitated, as if something bad was about to happen.
"Hmm?" Lu Bu quickly noticed Chen Gong's expression and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly asked,""Gongtai, could it be that the Sun Wu Army is unwilling to form an alliance with me?”
"Chen Gong is useless! He didn't help Lu Bujun negotiate an alliance! Lord Lu Bu, please punish me!" With a thud, Chen Gong fell to his knees and begged Lu Bu for forgiveness.
Lu Bu, who was still in a state of excitement, felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him, and he stood rooted to the ground.
All the excitement and joy were completely washed away at this moment…
The Sun Wu Army…did not agree to the alliance?
Without the support of Sun Wu's army, how could Lu Bu fight against Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan?
"Then what did Sun Jian say? Why did he refuse to form an alliance with our army?”Lu Bu asked with a gloomy face.
" He didn't say anything and directly rejected my proposal…" Chen Gong sighed. He still didn't understand why Sun Jian had rejected him so decisively, not even giving him a chance to negotiate.
"Damned old fox! Sooner or later, I'll kill him with my own hands!”Lu Bu hammered the wooden table furiously. Under the terrifying force, the wooden table instantly turned into wood shavings. Even so, the anger in Lu Bu's heart did not diminish at all.
At this moment, there was only one word in Lu Bu's mind…It was over.
Lu Bujun was finished!
Without the help of reinforcements, the chances of Lu Bu's army defeating Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan were minuscule…
"The heavens want me, Lu Bu, dead!" Lu Bu sat back down in his seat dispiritedly. He seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
" Father…" Looking at her father's dejected appearance, Lu Lingqi felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't know how to comfort Lu Bu.
With Lu Bu's current situation, how could she comfort him? What could she use to comfort Lu Bu?
" Send someone to Yueling City and ask Mu Qing to come back…" Lu Bu waved his hand, indicating that Lu Lingqi did not need to comfort herself.
The original purpose of sending Mu Qing to the Shu army was to buy time for Lu Bu's army to wait for reinforcements to arrive in Xuzhou.
Now that the reinforcements were gone, there was no point for Mu Qing to continue staying in Yueling City. No matter how much time they delayed, there would not be any reinforcements…
"Chen Gong, get up. This isn't your fault. Remember, don't spread the news of Sun Wu's army refusing to ally with our army. Once it spreads, our morale will be greatly affected.”Lu Bu gestured for Chen Gong to get up as well. He did not blame Chen Gong, as he was not at fault in the first place.
"All of you can leave. I want to be alone.”Lu Bu closed his eyes and leaned back in his wooden chair, deep in thought.
Seeing this, Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong could only retreat…
In the distant Yueling City, Mu Qing did not know that the Sun Wu army had refused to ally with Lu Bu's army. At this moment, he was still thinking about what to do next.
According to Mu Qing's estimations, Chen Gong should be back from his trip to River East by now. His mission seemed to have been completed.
Now, he had two choices.
The first was to stay in Yueling City, just in case, to buy Lu Bu's army some time.
The second was to return to Xiapi City and wait for Sun Wu's reinforcements to arrive.
