Ji Ling was also afraid that Lu Bu would come too fast and Zhang Xun would not be able to resist him, so he led the Chinese army without putting much distance between him and Zhang Xun.
Half an hour later, Ji Ling's main force had arrived at the foot of the mine.
So everyone went into battle, felling trees and digging trenches, and at the same time sent out scouts to inquire about Lu Bu's activities.
But after a full day of work, the food and grass had been transported, and the camp was almost built, but Lu Bu still hadn't sent troops to attack!
Could it be that Lu Bu was too scared to fight when he saw that he had so many people?
But Li Ye didn't panic at all: "General, don't worry! Lu Bu has no reinforcements, so what if he delays for a few days?
I don't believe that he can't worry because his mines are occupied, and his city has not been repaired.
Now that we are stationed at the foot of the mine, we can raid his city at any time. I think he must be feeling like he has something stuck in his throat now.
If my calculations are correct, Lu Bu must be leading his men to defend the city first, while also sending someone to send a message to Tao Qian, asking him to send troops to help quickly! "
Seeing Li Ye's confidence that he was in control, Ji Ling gradually felt relieved.
Tao Qian will definitely not betray him. His army is also on an expedition. Now that Lu Bu is not coming to attack, he is taking the opportunity to cultivate himself.
However, Li Ye only guessed half of it right.
Lu Bu indeed asked Zhang Liao to lead his men to defend the new city.
However, he did not go to Tao Qian for help. Instead, he led Xu Chu, Zhao Yun and three thousand troops around to the west of the new city.
After traveling for more than ten miles, we saw a temporary camp.
The sentry saw Lu Bu coming with his men from a distance and blew the horn warning, causing chaos in the camp.
In just one stick of incense, neatly dressed Liu Bei and Guan Yu led a group of people out of the military camp.
"Lu... Lu Bu? Zilong?" Liu Bei was shocked!
His first thought was, has Tao Qian's plan been exposed?
Lu Bu laughed ferociously: "Straw Shoe Liu, I haven't seen you for a while, please come back and be fine!"
"Why are you... Marquis Wen, please come and be fine..." Liu Bei almost asked: Why are you here?
"Straw Shoe Liu, why are you here? Oh! I see, it was you who heard that my new city was attacked by bandits and sent special troops to rescue me, right?
Otherwise, everyone in the world would say you are benevolent and righteous! It’s really interesting! Thank you very much Lu Bu for being here! "
Lu Bu said and raised his thumb at Liu Bei.
"I... it's easy to talk..." Liu Bei said while his mind was spinning rapidly.
Lu Bu said: "Since everyone is here, without further delay, please ask Xuande Gong to lead his troops and follow me quickly!
You and I attack from both sides and defeat the bandit army first. I will be grateful after taking back the mine! "
Liu Bei had regained his composure at this time, smiled and said: "It's just what I wanted!
Because I don't know what the situation is like on the front line, I am stationing the army here and sending someone to contact you, Marquis Wen!
Now that Marquis Wen is here and has explained the situation, I will lead my troops to support him!
But I still have to break camp, and there are some luggage that I need to carry.
Moreover, most of the troops I led were infantry, which was not as fast as Marquis Wen's cavalry.
Please ask Marquis Wen to go back to your new city first, and I will bring people over after I pack up! "
Lu Bu chuckled: "This place is only more than ten miles away from my new city, how much faster can it be?
Otherwise, don't you also have cavalry? How about you take the cavalry with me first and let Guan Yu pack the baggage behind? "
Liu Bei was not sure how to answer, but Guan Yu snorted coldly and said:
"Hmph! We brothers have always advanced and retreated together, how can we be separated?
Lu Bu, do you have any plans when you came up with such an idea? "
Lu Bu also sneered and said: "Never separated? Then why did you leave Zhang Fei to guard Xiapi? Now you tell me that you will never separate?"
Oh, by the way, I think Xiapi City has been lost now, maybe Zhu Zhuzhang and you guys can meet again soon.
But whether Pork Zhang was captured alive and tied up, or just his head, I can’t say! "
"Ouch!" Guan Yu shouted, his vision went dark and he almost fell off his horse.
Lu Bu chuckled: "But I have specifically warned you not to harm your family members. Don't worry, Straw Shoes Liu, I will take care of your wife, so don't worry about it!"
"Lu Bu! My third brother did not harm you, but his words were disrespectful to you. Why did you harm him!" Liu Bei shouted.
Lu Bu sneered and said: "Didn't you harm me? Liu Bei, my new city has not been built yet, but unknown thieves attacked me and robbed my mines.
There is a strong enemy in front of me, and now you appear behind me with thousands of people. Do you dare to say that you are here to save me? "
"I..." Liu Bei rolled his eyes and said, "I am stationed here under the orders of Duke Tao!"
Lu Bu said: "You are telling half the truth! Liu Bei! I was appointed as the pastor of Xuzhou by the emperor's order, how dare you and Tao Qian conspire with Yuan Shu to harm me!
You keep saying that you are a member of the Han clan and want to help the Han clan. Is this how you help?
Zilong, do you see clearly now how hypocritical and cunning this big-eared straw sandal Liu is? "
Zhao Yun snorted coldly: "I made a mistake!"
Lu Bu said loudly again: "Liu Bei's soldiers! Do you all understand?
For Liu Bei to plot his own rise to the top is tantamount to rebellion! If you join him in resisting, you will all be punished for treason!
If you drop your weapons and surrender now, I hope you will not die because you were deceived by Liu Bei and do not know the truth! "
Guan Yu was afraid that Lu Bu would disturb the morale of the army, and because he heard that Zhang Fei was afraid of something unexpected, he was anxious to go back to rescue Zhang Fei, so he roared before Liu Bei could speak:
"Brother, what are you talking about with these three slaves? Now that we've said it, let's fight him!"
As he spoke, he clamped his legs between his hips and dismounted, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword upside down and charging towards Lu Bu!
Xu Chu was looking for a chance to show off when he saw this red-faced and bearded man coming towards him with a large sword. Without waiting for Lu Bu's order, he also waved his mighty long hammer to meet him.
Although Xu Chu is a fierce general, he may not be able to get an advantage by challenging Guan Yu alone.
Lu Bu shouted: "Zhong Kang, be careful, this monkey-ass face is quite capable!"
Xu Chu didn't know whether he heard it or not. At this time, he rushed to Guan Yu. The two of them didn't answer. Xu Chu hit Guan Yu's face with a hammer on his pocket.
Guan Yu saw that the blow was so powerful that he did not dare to neglect it. He quickly raised the Qinglong Yanyue Sword with both hands to block it.
Hearing a loud bang and sparks flying everywhere, Guan Yu felt his hands go numb and couldn't help cursing in his heart:
It’s okay that Lu Bu is very powerful, but why are all his men more powerful than the others? Where does this fat guy come from?
Lu Bu was afraid that Xu Chu would suffer a loss, so he waved his hand to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, let's see the results of your training these days!"
As he said that, he picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd and went straight to Liu Bei!
Zhao Yun whistled, took off his bow, and led a group of cavalry to the camp behind Liu Bei.
Liu Bei complained in his heart, how could he be Lu Bu's opponent?
But now Guan Yu was entangled by the fat man, and seeing that he couldn't escape for a while, Liu Bei used his second special skill without thinking - run!
