Liu Xuande would never be a succubus of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

"What is Miss Lu good at?"

"Fangzhongshu."

"?"

Liu Bei couldn't stand this girl anymore, so he covered his forehead and said, "Then after you give me my orders, go and warm my bed!"

"only!"

Lu Qi blushed when she heard that, but soon ran out happily.

Although she did not agree with the arranged marriage at first, she was moved by Liu Bei's appearance and learned about his many deeds.

There are not so many twists and turns in this era. If you have someone you like, you have to get married, and getting married means that you follow your husband wherever he goes.

"Ugh."

Liu Bei looked at the lively girl with a hint of worry between his brows.

Judging from the current situation, Lu Qi can be a personal secretary, Mo Tong can be a personal guard, Jia Xu can be a counselor and in charge of internal affairs, and the Master can be the backup king.

Such a fantastic lineup is very stable.

But according to his previous personality, he had to record Zhu Huan's death truthfully and would never let him die a "good death".

This wasn't a move of compassion, a desire to protect this reckless fellow, but rather... to send a signal in front of everyone—

As long as you don't act tyrannically and violently, and are willing to make friends with Liu Bei, then you can have some food to eat.

Mohist Chapter: Chapter 43: I laugh at Liu Xuande’s lack of strategy and Sun Wentai’s lack of wisdom!

noon.

Mr. Bai was under the protection of the army. He sat cross-legged on the spot, with a strange light flashing in his black eyes.

In a sight that no one else could see, bits of starlight floated out from his eyes and continued to attach to the three giants in front of him.

"Many people in the city have been infected with the plague. Our army can capture the city gates with two more charges. Then, if three giants enter the city... they will be killed without mercy."

"Hehehe... Imperial Court, oh Imperial Court, you have long regarded the Mohists as a rat hiding in the corner, little did you know that this rat has long since become a ferocious beast!"

"In Wu County, we each captured cities and shed blood on the land. This was only one of our tactics. The real killer move was the ships on the sea..."

"It's almost there, it's almost there, Master Mozhe... you're about to wake up, hahahaha!"

"Report——"

At this time, the messenger rushed into the army from the periphery, hurriedly came to Mr. Bai, clasped his fists and said:

"Just now, the enemy charged and Boss Yan... Boss Yan has been beheaded!"

"!?"

Mr. Bai stood up angrily and shouted, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"The defenders are trapped in the city by us, and the fastest reinforcements can't arrive in just two or three days. It's even more impossible that there's no news at all... How many people are there to charge?"

The messenger raised two trembling fingers.

"Two hundred? If they were two hundred light cavalrymen skilled in surprise attacks, that wouldn't be impossible, but that would be troublesome."

"No, sir, not two hundred men."

"What a joke! Are there still two of them?"

Mr. Bai waved his sleeves, but seeing the messenger's expression of wanting to speak but not wanting to, he was stunned: "Could it be that there are really only two people?"

"Yes, it is."

"You bastards," Mr. Bai gritted his teeth. "Two people? Yan Yu has over 500 elite soldiers around him, and he's also very skilled. How could he be killed by just two people charging into the battle line?!"

"Your Excellency doesn't know," the messenger raised his head and explained softly, "...One of them is the famous 'Liu Xuande' in Shouchun County, and the other one claims to be 'Sun Wentai of Jiangdong'..."

"?"

In addition to doing scientific research projects, Mozhe also works part-time as a killer and resells intelligence. Therefore, when Mr. Bai heard the names of these two people, their deeds immediately emerged in his mind.

Then, he took a deep breath.

"Sun Wentai, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, sailed with his father to Qiantang several years ago. On the way, they encountered pirates who were as powerful as monsters. He fought with all his might and easily defeated them. He chased the pirates everywhere..."

"Liu Xuande of Zhuo County, who was suspected of assisting the daughter of the Cao family in uncovering a palace conspiracy a few months ago as an advisor, recently killed aristocratic families in Shouchun County, broke the Mohist scheme, and distributed land equally to the people. As a result, he was placed on the A-level alert list by the Juzi..."

"If these two young heroes were born at the same time, it wouldn't be that surprising."

Mr. Bai calmed down from his shock and immediately ordered:

"Take my orders and quickly send men to cover up this incident. As for those who witnessed it and fled, they must be killed with lightning speed. Do not allow them to undermine the morale of our army."

"Finally, order the soldiers to continue to focus on attacking the city. Given the current situation, as long as we enter the city, everything will be fine."

"This..." The messenger hesitated after hearing this. "But the enemy may have already circled behind us. If we ignore them and continue to attack the city, won't we be trapped on both sides?"

"Are you questioning me?"

The sound of the robotic arm was heard, along with a strong murderous intent.

"No, dare not!"

The messenger rushed out, tumbling and crawling, and went to deliver the order with peace of mind.

Mr. Bai looked at his back and said to his attendants, "I'm going to go out to relieve myself. You stay here and wait."

"only."

Mr. Bai came under the trees, took off his official hat and coat, changed into the bandit outfit he had prepared long ago, then took the opportunity to sneak in and steal the horse in front, and rushed straight towards the opposite side of the city.

"We can't stay here anymore."

"Yan Yu died in public. I'm sure Liu Xuande will use his name to make a fuss. His death can't be covered up for long."

"As a counselor from the Mohist school, I do not have the right to command an army. Once those troops learn of Yan Yu's death, their morale will inevitably collapse, and they will be unable to form a strong force."

"In this state, even if the city is captured, it won't take long for Liu Bei's army to completely wipe them out."

"As for manipulating the giants to force these bandits to retreat? Haha, what good would it do to us, the Mohists, to preserve the bandits' strength?"

"The Mohists' goal is to spread blood across the land. As for where this blood comes from, does it really matter?"

"Once these bandits die, even though it's far less than the death toll I planned, it will at least be a small contribution."

"No matter how heroic Liu Bei and Sun Jian may be, they can only guess that I'm gathering the remaining troops and retreating. However, I stand much higher than you!"

The most important thing in war is to figure out what the enemy's purpose is. As long as this is clear, you can use various tactics in a targeted manner.

But if you misjudge the other party's intentions, you are likely to make a very wrong decision.

Because of this, Mr. Bai believes that Liu Bei and Sun Jian must be busy at this moment reorganizing their troops and encircling the bandit army together with the defenders in the city.

By the way, send people to block the bandits' retreat route.

"Judging from the terrain, the place you're going to ambush must be the woods the bandits are going to take. It's a perfect ambush spot... and I only need to take the waterway where no one cares, and you'll be blown up, right?"

"Hahahaha, it can not only complete part of the mission quota, but also save my life. Where in the world can such a good thing happen?"

"Humph, that Liu Xuande is unwise, and Sun Wentai lacks wisdom. They only care about small gains and forget the overall situation. Hahahaha..."

But Mr. Bai's laughter stopped abruptly.

Because a huge and majestic figure suddenly jumped out from the grass in front.

Then, hundreds of black shadows rushed in from all directions and surrounded him in an instant.

"Sorry for the long wait, Mozhe. I am Sun Wentai, a subordinate of Master Xuande."

Sun Jian stood in front of the army, holding a sword, his tiger-like eyes staring straight at Mr. Bai, filled with murderous intent.

"me……"

Mr. Bai felt his vocal cords knotted. This scene was so unexpected that his cerebellum atrophied instantly.

No, buddy, you have such a huge advantage. Whether you encircle them or ambush them in advance, you can wipe out all the bandits. But why did you arrange people to hide here?

Is there any benefit to this?!

"Why, you want to say you're not a Mohist?"

"Yes, yes," Mr. Bai said hurriedly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, "I... I'm a refugee captured by bandits..."

"clown."

Before he could finish, Sun Jian spat and said contemptuously: "I can smell the stench of the Mohist on you from ten miles away."

Mohist Canon: Chapter 44: Destroying the Bandits

Just as Sun Jian led the team to capture Mr. Bai, changes also occurred on the front battlefield.

Following Mr. Bai's order to "continue attacking", some bandits who were unaware of the real situation began to fight hard, but many generals who were originally under Yan Yu's command were just taking advantage of the situation.

Yan Yu is dead, and the country is being attacked from both sides. Mr. Bai's normal strategy at this time should be to withdraw his troops, and definitely not to continue the attack.

Otherwise, even if the city was captured, it would not last long and would soon be completely wiped out by the enemy.

These bandits were different from the bandits under his command. They had a considerable degree of self-management and were more like allies than Yan Yu's subordinates.

It is precisely because of this that they definitely did not want to seek revenge the first time Yan Yu got into trouble, but instead took a wait-and-see attitude, and were able to immediately withdraw from the battlefield if the situation changed.

"Fire arrows!"

"Kill--"

The number of defenders on the city wall gradually decreased due to the infection of the plague ghosts, and the tung oil rockets of the mountain bandits also timely nailed into the women's wall like a meteor shower, dyeing the rolling logs stored by the defenders into winding fire snakes.

"Brothers, follow me and kill!"

Thirty guards were holding up the ladder with iron pitchforks when suddenly a poisoned crossbow arrow pierced their throats. The bodies fell, bringing with them boiling golden juice. The stench and smell of burnt flesh exploded in the night wind.

“Hit me!”

The bandit vanguard captain's nine-ring ghost-head knife chopped off the iron-clad battering ram, and the wooden wheels rolled over the corpses on the ground and slammed into the broken city gate.

The commander on the city wall had just raised the command flag to mobilize the archers when he suddenly saw a large Han flag rising from the dense forest in the southwest - it was reinforcements!

"Our own people have arrived!"

"Report!"

"Just now, two people rushed into the enemy camp, killed over a hundred people in a row, and then successfully broke out with the county magistrate!"

"It is said that the bandit leader has been killed!"

"Report!"

"A group of officers and soldiers appeared in front of us. The leader was holding the head of the bandit Yan Yu and was broadcasting it to the three armies, instructing them to shout that the enemy leader was dead..."

"Good, good, good!"

The general was about to give up, but after hearing this series of news, he was immediately overjoyed:

"Quick, quickly inform the entire army of this news... As soon as the reinforcements are mobilized, we will quickly open the city gates and charge out!"

"only!"

The garrison commander climbed up to a high place and gazed into the distance, sighing, "A few days ago, I received a message saying that the person coming to support us was an uncrowned young man. I thought he was just a fool, but I didn't expect him to be so capable..."

"My Han Dynasty is indeed full of talented people!"

In the distance, on a slope five hundred steps away, Liu Bei slowly drew out the Gan Jiang and Mo Ye swords. The moment the sword tip brushed through the air, golden light spread from his eyes to the area around his eye sockets, and fallen leaves within a hundred steps radius hovered in the air.

“The wind is rising!”

Wherever their swords pointed, three hundred Wujun archers raised their bows at a 45-degree angle and aimed at the bandits in front of them.

The quivers they carried glowed a faint blue - the arrowheads were soaked in fish glue, a specialty of Haiyan County, which would burn when exposed to fire.

"Buzz!"

The first round of volleys was like a swarm of locusts passing through, and the burning arrows accurately pierced the tung oil barrels in the rear of the bandits.

The blast overturned five catapults, and the poisonous smoke from the fire was carried into the group of bandits by the west wind. Dozens of bandits rolled into the moat, grabbing their smoking leather armor.

"Elevation angle 60, three bursts of rapid fire!"

Liu Bei slightly adjusted the tip of his sword, and the archers' formation instantly split into three rows in rotation.
