Chapter 367

The brazier in the room was scorching hot.

Lu Lingqi had excellent physical fitness, and at this time, her eyes were red and she was covered in sweat.

"Husband, being able to meet you in this life is a blessing I've cultivated for several lifetimes."

Liu Bei laughed.

"Since that's the case, my lady, you should repay the kindness properly."

Lu Lingqi had a happy smile on her face.

Xiapi City was bustling with noise and excitement.

Outside Shouchun City, it was also very lively.

The Cao army was setting up scaling ladders and pushing battering rams, fiercely attacking Shouchun!

The Yuan Shu army inside the city naturally greeted them with rolling stones and hot oil.

Thick smoke rose both inside and outside the city.

Screams, roars, and cursing were endless!

The Cao army attacked fiercely for more than ten days, losing over ten thousand troops without gaining an inch!

Cao Cao looked at the bamboo slips in his hand and doubted his life.

"I am fighting a bloody battle in Shouchun, and he is also charging into battle in Xiapi?!"

"The big-eared thief is too much!"

Cheng Yu and Xun Yu both frowned.

"My lord, Liu Bei welcomed Lu Bu's daughter, and Xuzhou and Liu Bei have formed an alliance. In the future, when our army attacks Xuzhou, Liu Bei will sneak attack our rear, and the difficulty of taking Xuzhou will increase greatly!"

Cao Cao angrily threw the bamboo slips onto the table.

"Liu Bei also said that he destroyed the alliance between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, and that we are all one family in the future, asking me to get closer to Lu Bu!"

"Bah! The big-eared thief is shameless!"

Cao Cao had a feeling of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.

He didn't expect that bringing Liu Bei here not only failed to help him attack Yuan Shu, but he was also tripped up himself!

Xun Yu cupped his hands.

"My lord, our army's temporary focus is on Shouchun; the Lu Bu matter can be put aside for now."

Cao Cao looked at the city in the distance.

"Shouchun's resistance is fierce; I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it in the short term."

Cheng Yu and Xun Yu looked at each other, feeling anxious in their hearts; there was no way, there wasn't much time left for the lord, and the great army was short of grain!

Inside Shouchun City.

Yuan Shu was also cursing.

"Lu Bu, that scoundrel! I let the Crown Prince marry his daughter as a great reward, yet he actually refused?!"

"My Yuan family has had officials for four generations, yet he, Lu Bu, a country bumpkin from Jiuyuan, what is he being arrogant about?"

"He actually gave his daughter to a guy who weaves mats and sells sandals; shameless!"

"Big-eared thief, I am at odds with you!"

Yuan Yao didn't feel good in his heart either; although he didn't like a woman as tall as Lu Lingqi, Liu Bei cutting him off wasn't that a slap in his face!

Both father and son were cursing Liu Bei and Lu Bu!

Yan Xiang's eyelids twitched.

"Your Majesty, for now, we should prioritize holding Shouchun."

Yuan Shu was pulled back to reality.

"Good, tell the soldiers to do their best; after the city is held, I will have great rewards!"

"Understood!"

Yan Xiang sighed in his heart; Yuan Shu was extorting taxes in Huainan to enjoy himself, and the soldiers were not fed or clothed well, so the morale was already bad, and now he was still drawing cakes.

The Cao army attacked Shouchun fiercely again for more than half a month.

Shouchun still couldn't be broken.

Cao Cao had already lost thirty thousand troops!

At the same time, the grain and fodder were getting less and less!

Liu Bei, who had just gotten married, only led his troops away from Xuzhou at this time and rushed to Shouchun.

Zhang Fei said carelessly,

"Is it easy for my Big Brother? He just took Lu Bu's daughter and hasn't even warmed her up yet, and he has to come and attack Shouchun!"

Cao Ren was furious.

"We are attacking Shouchun, what are you doing!"

Zhang Fei sneered.

"So what? Has Shouchun been taken? My Big Brother worked hard himself to persuade Lu Bu; how difficult that was!"

"If Lu Bu had led his troops to reinforce Yuan Shu, what would you do?"

Cao Cao felt uncomfortable; the simple-minded Zhang Fei actually had reason and evidence, leaving them speechless!

The live broadcast room laughed out loud.

"Haha, let me laugh for a while!"

"The big-eared thief is truly hardworking!"

"I think Lu Lingqi is even more hardworking; after all, she took on the work of over a dozen people all by herself!"

Kong Rong also didn't like Cao Cao; killing Bian Rang, massacring Xuzhou, and uniting with Yuan Shao to attack Qingzhou!

"I say Cao Mengde, you have over a hundred thousand troops, do you still want to let Xuande's ten thousand cavalry attack the city?"

Cao Cao wished he could kill this Kong Rong with one sword!

He snorted.

"Kong Beihai, you don't understand military affairs, so don't meddle!"

Meaning, you were driven away by Yuan Tan, yet you still dare to chatter!

Kong Rong!

Liu Bei waved his hand.

"Alright, everyone stop arguing. Brother Mengde has been attacking for over a month; even if there's no merit, there's hard work. I think Shouchun can't hold on much longer."
