Then I shall respectfully obey! Please, Lord Tao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Tao Zou Qian had finally ended the topic, Liu Bei let out a long sigh of relief, a smile reappearing on his face as he made a gesture of invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He arrived at the Qi Prince’s Mansion together with Tao Zou Qian and accepted his hospitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lunch, Lu Bu began to attack the city once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Bei was invited to lead his two generals, Guan and Zhang, along with his own troops, to participate in the city’s defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, with the addition of the two generals Guan and Zhang, the city’s defenses, which had been in a precarious state, became stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Lu Bu personally leading the assault, he was unable to take the city in the short term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Lu Bu extremely annoyed: “Damn it! This Liu Bei really is a troublemaker! To think he would show up at a time like this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Gongtai, what should we do now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With those two, Guan and Zhang, here, I’m afraid it will be impossible to easily take this Xuzhou in the short term!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But we don’t have much grain and fodder left; we can hold out for at most another month. Where should we go from there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bu was very agitated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he hated Liu Bei to the core!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Gong, upon hearing this, also asked with a headache: “My Lord! With your strength, if you were to launch a fierce attack, are you confident you could defeat the combined forces of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and help our army take this Xiapi City?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bu shook his head and said: “I have no such confidence! If I lead the troops to attack the city, I cannot form a military formation with my personal guards to face the enemy together;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are different; they can rest while we toil and form a military formation with their own troops to deal with me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Plus, the two of them are joining forces. With this increase and decrease in strength, it is impossible for me to take them down in the short term, unless my cultivation base advances further and I break through to the mid-stage of the Heaven-Human Realm;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although I have already touched the bottleneck, I do not have absolute certainty of completing this breakthrough without a year or half a year!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Therefore, this path is not feasible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt aggrieved! A dignified Heaven-Human Realm divine general, actually being troubled by two people at the peak of the Gang-Qi Realm, or rather, half-step Heaven-Human Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simply a great humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is troublesome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Gong frowned upon hearing this: “We currently occupy several cities like Xiaopei. If we scrape them clean, we can still gather a few months’ worth of grain and fodder!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Furthermore, if we manage these few cities with care, they should be able to provide us with some grain and fodder;”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only fear that the noble clans in these cities will not cooperate with us and will instead oppose us in secret!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, continuing like this for a long time is not a solution!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The best path is still to take Xiapi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, we might have to find a way to bypass Xiapi City, take other cities and counties, and sustain the war through war!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Continuing to stand off here does not benefit us much!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bu nodded affirmatively: “That makes sense! Then let us abandon Xiapi and go attack other cities in Donghai Commandery!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our army’s main force consists mostly of cavalry with high mobility; staying here to attack the city is indeed inappropriate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It would be better to go attack other cities, sustaining the war through war while finding ways to lure Tao Zou Qian and Liu Bei out of the city to fight. At that point, the advantage will be on our side!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way! As for grain, fodder, and even military equipment, we can actually ask Su Boyuan to purchase them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe that given my reputation and his habit of doing business, he will certainly be willing to sell me enough grain and military equipment! What does Chen Gongtai think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, he was not really short of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, while rampaging through Yanzhou, he had plundered no small amount of wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wealth in Boss Cao’s lair had all ended up in his pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Gong’s eyes lit up slightly, and he asked with anticipation: “If it can be done, that would naturally be for the best! However, my Lord, are you certain that the King of Zou Qian will give you this face and sell you grain and military equipment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had indeed heard that the King of Zou Qian liked doing business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also well aware that the military equipment crafted by the King of Zou Qian’s workshops was of high quality and low price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they did not have a fixed territory to develop, purchasing from the King of Zou Qian was indeed an excellent method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha! Naturally!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bu laughed confidently: “Not to mention the friendship between Su Boyuan and me! Even if there were no friendship, Su Boyuan would never refuse a business that comes knocking at his door!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave this matter to me! I can just use the golden eagle to discuss it with Su Boyuan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu spiritual energy went to seek refuge with Su Boyuan, she had left the golden eagle Su Xuan gave her with Lu Bu, specifically to facilitate future communication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past few months, Lu spiritual energy and Su Xuan had not communicated with him infrequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu spiritual energy had no intention of returning to Lu Bu for the time being; she was already studying at the women’s academy on Su Xuan’s side!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Bu could not win against Lu spiritual energy and had no choice but to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he would never admit that he also did not want his wife and daughter to follow him, wandering about and living a life of displacement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would not be too late to bring Lu spiritual energy and her mother back once he truly had a fixed territory and his power was stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even though Chen Gong had advised him more than once to bring his wife and daughter back from Su Xuan’s side sooner, he had never agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, there was no place safer than staying with Su Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Gong nodded. Not long after, he saw Lu Bu write a letter, stuff it into a small metal tube on the golden eagle’s leg, and release the bird.\u003C\u002Fp>",1115,"2026-06-16T22:49:48.247Z","2026-06-16T22:58:41.015Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a70d82910cf8e06feded042db322d7c2729b656b8944df264c1781b3ae1e2f34","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-370","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-368",467,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-cover.jpg"]
