"What? Qi Ling is missing!" Liu Mang grabbed the messenger. Liu Mang's strength was very strong and easily pulled the messenger up.
"Cough cough!" The messenger found it difficult to breathe. "Young Lord, Young Lord!" He wanted to struggle but he didn't have the strength to do so.
"Milord!" Huang Zhong stepped forward to help the messenger. Liu Mang was so excited that he didn't notice that Huang Zhong had saved the messenger from Liu Mang's hands. This messenger had painstakingly avoided Liu Bei's scouts from Lujiang and finally arrived at Guangzhou where Liu Mang's Army was located. On the way, a warhorse had died. Before he could react, he was already picked up by Liu Mang. Now that he was put down, he finally regained his senses.
"Young Miss is missing? When did this news come out?" Liu Ye also walked forward. Although he hadn't seen this Young Miss before, he knew that she was very important. She was the lubricant between the Lvbu's Army and Liu Mang's Army! Originally, Liu Mang was a member of the Lvbu's Army, so it didn't matter if Young Miss was there or not. But now, it was different. Whether Liu Mang was willing or not, he had his own team and formed his own set. His interest group had Xu Shu and Liu Mang as strategists to give advice to Liu Mang. Yang Hong assisted Liu Mang's intelligence network as Liu Mang's eyes. Liu Mang's City Guard and Black Chess Armies were his two powerful fists. There was also Gan Ning's Internet Water Army, which could be said to have been formed by Liu Mang. In terms of generals, there were Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng, Wang Wei, Huang Xu, Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan. These were all fierce generals. Except for Chengyu, who might waver between Lü Bu and Liu Mang, the others were all led by Liu Mang. And Lü Bu was only Liu Mang's father-in-law!
And Miss Lü Bu was destined to determine whether Liu Mang would be able to take over all of Lü Bu's assets after Lü Bu passed away. Once Miss Lü Bu was gone, then it would be a huge problem. Regardless of whether Liu Mang and Lü Bu were willing or not, the two interest groups that they represented would gradually drift apart and might even become enemies!
Lü Lingling was the lubricant between the two interest groups, allowing them to become permanent partners.
"This, this was half a month ago!" The messenger carefully told Liu Mang and Liu Ye.
"Half a month ago?!" Liu Ye frowned. Half a month ago, wasn't the Lvbu's Army ambushed the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry? Liu Ye could finally explain why Lü Bu would send the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry into Yangzhou for no reason. If it was to reinforce Yangzhou, then the Xiliang Cavalry had 20,000 troops waiting for him! Without the support of other infantry, how would he dare to advance towards Yangzhou! Now it seemed that everything made sense. It was probably to find Miss Lü Lingling!
"What, half a month ago! Half a month ago, why didn't you inform me! Half a month ago! Such a long time! " Liu Mang was really angry. If he was still in Yuzhou half a month ago, then it was because the messenger could not reach him. But after that, when he reached Guangzhou by sea, he should have been informed. However, there was still no notification. Now, half a month later, there was a notification. How could Liu Mang not be angry!
This Miss Lü Lingling was not only Lü Bu's daughter, she was also Liu Mang's wife! Now that his wife was missing, how could he not be anxious!
"This, this, Milord said that he did not want Young Lord to worry!" The messenger stammered.
"Ridiculous! Do you think I am not worried now?! "Liu Mang fiercely kicked the table in the mansion and sent it flying.
"Milord, calm down, calm down!" Liu Mang quickly went forward to appease Liu Mang. At the same time, he waved his hand to let Huang Zhong take the messenger away first! Huang Zhong nodded his head and took the messenger away to rest.
"Milord, this Wen Hou is doing this because he wants Milord to focus on the battle with Big Eared Liu! He doesn't want Milord to be distracted! " Liu Ye honestly explained Lü Bu's thoughts. Lü Bu did not deliberately hide it from Liu Mang. He was just afraid that Lü Bu would act rashly in a moment of anxiety. Wasn't he, Lü Bu, like that? He had caused half of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to die. This time, Lü Bu was filled with regret. He did not want Liu Mang to be like him and lose his mind because of anxiety.
"Sigh!" Liu Mang was not someone who did not know anything. He also knew that Lü Bu did not want him to be too worried. However, he thought that by hiding it, Liu Mang would not be worried! He could hide it for a while, but not forever. Now, he had to explain it to Liu Mang.
"Milord, don't worry! Milord will find it sooner or later! " Liu Mang comforted Liu Mang. Not getting any news now was actually the best news. This meant that Milord had not been kidnapped or anything bad had happened to her. With Milord Lu's strength, there were very few people who could be her opponent. Although he was not a direct disciple of Lü Bu, he was still better than Liu Mang in terms of martial arts. He was about to enter the refining stage. If he was not a woman, he might not be any lower than Jiangdong's Little Conqueror.
Liu Mang was comforted by Liu Mang. However, after a while, Liu Ye frowned. This made Liu Mang very puzzled. "Ziyang, what's wrong? “
"Milord, Milord, Milord is in danger!" Liu Ye carefully chewed on these two words.
"Milord is in danger? Ziyang, you have news of Qiling? " Liu Mang was also frightened by Liu Ye. Lu Qiling could be considered one of Liu Mang's most beloved women in this world. She was also one of his worries. When Liu Ye said that Lu Qiling was in danger, it really scared Liu Mang.
"No, no, I don't have news. It's not that Milord is in danger. It's Shouchun. Shouchun's Xu Shu is in danger!" Liu Ye immediately thought that the news of Lu Qiling's disappearance could not be hidden for too long. Once this news was spread, who would be the most powerful? It would be Liu Bei's Army outside Shouchun. Shouchun was now surrounded by the army and news could not be transmitted. Xu Shu might not even know about the news of Lu Qiling's disappearance. It should be said that he did not understand Lu Qiling's strength. If Liu Bei used Lu Qiling's disappearance to make a fuss, then Shouchun would really be in danger.
"Men!" Liu Mang also understood Liu Ye and his eyes widened.
"Milord, what's wrong?" Huang Zhong walked in. He had just arranged for the messenger to rest when he heard Liu Mang shouting.
"Hansheng, you came at the right time. Immediately raise the tent and mobilize the army! We may set off! "Liu Mang said to Huang Zhong.
"Set off?"
Liu Mang nodded. They were about to break camp. It was not that Guangzhou would not be able to withstand it, but if Shouchun was broken, it would be useless to defend Guangzhou and cut off the provisions of Liu Bei's army. At that time, Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu would only end up surrounded by the allied forces of Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu.
Therefore, Liu Mang had to mobilize the army. At the very least, they had to reach Shouchun. Previously, Shouchun had no provisions. Liu Mang's arrival would only delay Shouchun for a few days! Now, Liu Mang had to enter Shouchun. Otherwise, Shouchun would be in danger.
… …
In Shouchun, Yangzhou, Xu Shu was patrolling the city walls as usual. Although Liu Bei's army had attacked many times and the city walls were almost taken down, Xu Shu was not worried at all. Instead, he was happy. He was not worried because there was a fierce general like Zhao Yun on the city walls. Without two or more people on the same level as Zhao Yun, it would be impossible to take down the city walls. Even if Liu Bei sent Chen Dao and Zhang Fei up, Xu Shu would be able to take down one of them. The people on the city walls were now equipped with armor and swords from the Shouchun Treasury. After these days of fighting, they had slowly turned from rookies to veterans. With the help of the 200 White Horse Followers, it could be said that as long as Liu Bei was not Dugu Yi Yi, Shouchun could not be taken down. Even if Liu Bei went crazy and wanted to go all out, Xu Shu would be able to injure Liu Bei. At least 80% of his troops would be left behind.
Xu Shu was happy because the more anxious Liu Bei was, the more indifferent Xu Shu was. This meant that Liu Bei was in trouble! He was anxious and wanted to take down Shouchun. This meant that the Lord had cut off the provisions of Liu Bei's army in Guangzhou.
"Why aren't they attacking the city today?" A temporary commander of a thousand men muttered. This was because it was daybreak. Liu Bei's army usually attacked at this time. However, it was exceptionally late today. Before this commander of a thousand men finished speaking, his crow's beak came true. This was because a group of soldiers and horses appeared from Liu Bei's camp outside the city. These soldiers and horses were all heavy cavalry.
"Hm?" Xu Shu looked at the Xiliang Cavalry that came out from Liu Bei's camp. He frowned. When did the relationship between Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei become so good? The Xiliang Cavalry was even stationed in Liu Bei's camp. One must know that not long ago, both sides were instigated by Xu Shu to start a war. These Xiliang Cavalry were also very strange. They actually rode their warhorses directly towards Shouchun's city walls. Could it be that they were preparing to use their warhorses to ram the city walls?
"Military Advisor, be careful!" While Xu Shu was thinking, the Xiliang Cavalry suddenly made a sharp turn. They raised their bows and shot countless arrows towards Shouchun's city walls. Without Zhao Yun's reminder, the soldiers on the side used their shields to protect Xu Shu. These arrows were shot from below the city walls. Even if the archers were strong, they could not guarantee their power. Therefore, these arrows fell to the ground when they hit the city walls.
"Hm?" Zhao Yun looked at these arrows. Did the Xiliang Cavalry come early in the morning to play this game? Zhao Yun's eyes were sharp. He quickly saw that there was a bow that was different from the others. It was bigger than the others and there was a piece of white cloth tied to it. Zhao Yun walked over and picked up the arrow. "Military Advisor, this is a letter!" Zhao Yun saw that there was writing on the cloth.
"A letter? Give it to me! " Xu Shu took the cloth from Zhao Yun's hand. Sure enough, it was a letter. Xu Shu took it and read it. The more he read, the deeper his frown became. In the end, his face was filled with anger and he almost threw the white cloth away.
"Military Advisor? What's wrong? "Zhao Yun was a little puzzled. What was written on the letter? Why was the military advisor so angry?
"Zilong, take a look for yourself!" Xu Shu did not know how to explain. He could only pass the white cloth to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was literate. Therefore, it was easy for him to read it. Zhao Yun had the same expression as Xu Shu.
"They are going too far. They want to use women and children to take down Shouchun? Despicable villain. Despicable villain. " Zhao Yun saw the letter. It said that Lü Bu's daughter, Liu Mang's wife, Lu Lingling, was in their hands. If they want Lu Lingling to live, they have to go down to the city and open the city gate. This way, they can protect Shouchun and Lu Lingling. They want to use Lu Lingling's life to threaten Xu Shu! How could this be the action of a hero? It was despised by everyone. From the Yellow Turban Rebellion until now, there was no one who used hostages to threaten. Even Lü Bu, a slave of three surnames, directly gave Liu Bei's wife and daughter to Liu Bei. For the enemy's wife and daughter, at most, they would ask for ransom. But now, this Liu Bei directly threatened them.
"Military Advisor, do you think Lu Lingling is really in their hands?" Zhao Yun joined Liu Mang's army in Hefei. So, he did not see what Lu Lingling looked like. Logically speaking, Lu Lingling should be in Lujiang and not in Liu Bei's hands.
"Maybe!" Xu Shu also took a deep breath. They were first-class strategists. Their wisdom was amazing. Naturally, they could get information from some clues. Previously, when Lu Bu sent the Wolf Cavalry to rescue Shouchun, Xu Shu was already suspicious. He did not understand why Lu Bu did this. Now, it seems that it was because Lu Bu's mistress, Lu Lingling, had disappeared. That was why Lu Bu sent the Wolf Cavalry to rescue Shouchun!
"Let's go, Zilong. Let's see what Liu Bei wants to do!" Xu Shu was also furious. Liu Bei actually used a woman to threaten Xu Shu. It was obvious that Liu Bei's benevolence, righteousness and morality were not something to be scoffed at. Xu Shu had previously thought that Liu Bei was a character.
