That afternoon, Mu Qing received the news from Xiapi City.
The Sun Wu Army…refused to ally with Lu Bu's army!
After learning of this news, Mu Qing's expression was extremely ugly. This result was beyond his expectations.
For the Sun Wu Army, if they wanted to unify the Jiangdong region, forming an alliance with Lu Bu's army was undoubtedly the best choice. Why was the result like this? Furthermore, according to the letter, Sun Jian had rejected Chen Gong without any hesitation, nor did he give Chen Gong any room for negotiation.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case…
What good would it do for the Wu army if Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou?
Once Liu Bei occupied Xu Prefecture, the next target he would have to deal with would most likely be his Sun Wu Army!
I can't figure it out…Mu Qing really couldn't figure out what Sun Jian was thinking.
However, no matter how hard he tried to figure it out, it was a fact that he refused to ally with Lu Bu's army. Mu Qing had no choice but to believe it.
"Young Master, what happened? " Your face…" Aria noticed that something was wrong with Mu Qing's expression and asked hurriedly.
"The Sun Wu Army refuses to ally with our army. Next…my army will fight alone against the Shu army and Gongsun Zan's army.”Mu Qing's face was gloomy, and his tone carried a deep sense of seriousness.
"Young Master, what should we do next? " Without reinforcements, with the strength of Lu Bu's army, we can't even fight against Liu Bei's army alone, let alone the two forces of 'Liu Bei' and 'Gongsun Zan'…" Although Arilia's words were unpleasant to hear, they were undoubtedly the truth.
" Even you think that we will lose without a doubt…" Mu Qing laughed at himself. At this moment, he was terrifyingly calm. Even the words he said were so cold that they did not carry any emotion.
"No, I can't! I won't lose! I can't lose either!"
"If I lose, what about my family? So I won't lose! We definitely can't lose!" Mu Qing said resolutely.
"Just wait and see…I will win this battle! I will help Lu Bu's army win the battle of Xu Prefecture! So what if there were no reinforcements? So what if he fought alone? I, Mu Qing, will still win!" Mu Qing had never felt so excited before.
"Young Master, I believe you!" Her beautiful eyes were filled with splendor. The way Arilla looked at Mu Qing was no longer as cold and emotionless as before.
"Who cares about Liu Bei or Gongsun Zan? Anyone who stands in the way of the young master will be killed without mercy!”On the other side, Raven's fighting spirit was also high.
"Lu Bu wants us to return to Xiapi City immediately. This time, we might have to disobey his order. Liu Bei will definitely raise his army again to take back Yueling City. We will wait here! How many? How many? 20,000 soldiers could still kill him!”
Yueling City was the hinterland of the Shu army. Before Liu Bei took it back, he would definitely not be able to attack Xiapi City, the base camp of Lu Bu's army.
That night, Mu Qing did not sleep. Instead, he stayed up all night to make a list of materials and asked Arilla to send someone to collect them.
"Young Master, the items on the list are all poisonous. Why are you collecting them?”Arilia was confused.
"Of course it is useful. You'll know when the time comes.”Mu Qing did not have the time to explain so much to Arilla. Time was tight and he could not waste a single second. He had to prepare everything before Liu Bei set off from Shu City.
" Oh..." Arilla nodded. Even though she had many doubts in her heart, she did not continue to ask.
"In addition, immediately send people to collect wood. The more the better.”Mu Qing instructed Arilla as he drew a blueprint.
"Yes." Holding the material collection list that Mu Qing had given her, Arilla left the meeting hall. After Arilla left, Mu Qing was the only one left in the meeting hall.
"Ballistas, giant crossbows, stone crossbows, etc. When I make a dozen of these, your Shu army will suffer.”" Hmph!" Mu Qing snorted coldly. The memories of his previous life allowed him to create weapons that were more advanced than this era.
Two days later, with the joint efforts of 20,000 Lu Bu's soldiers, all sorts of large-scale weapons were completed. Other than the few stone crossbows, there were nearly twenty other types of lethal weapons, all of which were placed on the city walls.
Apart from that, the highly toxic items that Mu Qing had asked Arilla to send people to collect were also made into sealed bamboo bottles by Mu Qing and returned to Arilla's hands.
"These bamboo bottles can't be opened easily. The Night Form inside is highly toxic. Once it touches the air, it will turn into poisonous fog. Pick a team of people to carry these bamboo bottles with you.”Mu Qing instructed Arilla.
"In addition, is there any news from Shu City?”In the past few days, while making all kinds of large-scale killing weapons and poisonous fog, Mu Qing did not forget to send people to Shu City to gather information and pay close attention to every move of the Shu army.
"Yes, Gongsun Zan's army from Youzhou has officially joined up with the Shu army in Shu City. I'm afraid that Liu Bei will soon attack Yueling City.”Arilla said softly.
"How many troops did Gongsun Zan bring from Youzhou?”
" About 60,000. It's worth mentioning that Gongsun Zan did not bring his trump card cavalry, the White Horse Righteous Followers. He probably thinks that he doesn't need his trump card in this battle..." Arilla replied.
To put it simply, Gongsun Zan looked down on Lu Bujun. He felt that Lu Bujun did not need his trump card, the White Horse Righteous Follower.
"In addition, I have also received news that Liu Bei has mobilized 40,000 troops and Gongsun Zan's 60,000 troops. A total of 100,000 troops are attacking Yueling City.”Arilia kept reporting to Mu Qing about the news regarding the Shu army.
"A hundred thousand soldiers? Was Liu Bei planning to go all out? Destroy us who have occupied Yueling City, and then charge straight for Lu Bu's camp, Xiapi City. What a good plan.”Mu Qing shook his head. It seemed that Liu Bei was completely enraged by his defeat of Guan Yu's army. In order to prevent any accidents from happening again, he had immediately mobilized his entire army!
However, this was not strange. He had defeated Guan Yu's army and caused Liu Bei to lose face. It would be strange if Liu Bei did not hate him.
"It's almost time for us to take action.”Mu Qing's lips curled into a dangerous smile.
What was the point of defeating Guan Yu's army last time? This time, he was going to defeat the entire alliance of Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan!
So what if it was a hundred thousand troops? I, Mu Qing, will still die for you to see!
The last battle made my name resound throughout Xu Prefecture. After this battle, my name will resound throughout the chaotic world!
