Chapter 70: They're Building Siege Equipment
Lu Bu laughed and turned his head and walked towards the barracks.
On the city wall, Liu Bei trembled, his fists clenched tightly, and he couldn't wait to pounce on Lu Bu and bite Lu Bu to death.
"Big brother, don't pay attention to that guy." Zhang Fei persuaded: "Although we have few people, it is not easy for him to break through Xiaopei. β
"With you and Yun Chang here, how can I not feel at ease?" Liu Bei gritted his teeth and burst out from between his teeth: "Sooner or later, I will crush that thief to pieces!" β
Lu Bu returned to the barracks, and Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Ji Ling greeted him.
Gao Shun personally held the reins for him: "Wen Hou was too reckless just now, what if there are three long and two short?" β
"It's so far away, they can't fire all at once." Lu Bu smiled indifferently: "I just wanted to stimulate Liu Bei and let him mess up first." β
"Liu Bei has repeatedly abandoned his wife's room, will it be useful to stimulate him with two wives?" Gao Shun asked uncertainly.
"As long as he's a man, he'll be useful." Lu Bu dismounted: "He can abandon his wife, or he can say that women are clothes." But someone slept with his woman, and his self-esteem as a man could not help but make him angry. β
Gao Shun and the others glanced at each other.
Lu Bu once invited the two wives of Gan Mi to the study, and then placed them in the back house.
Maybe he really did it to the two ladies.
After all, he is young and energetic, and it should be difficult to satisfy only one lady by his side, Diao Chan.
Seeing the strange expressions of the three generals, Lu Bu smiled: "Don't think about it, so far I haven't treated the two ladies like this." β
The generals were embarrassed.
Ji Ling said: "Even if Wen Hou treats them well, it is reasonable, Liu Bei abandons the two ladies, Wen Hou protects them, and what is there to let them sleep?" β
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, women's sense of chastity was not very strong.
Men don't really care about it, either.
In addition to the fact that wives and concubines cannot be shared with others, the beauty of the family can even be taken out to entertain guests.
For example, Cao Cao, a hero, is an out-and-out wife control.
In order to be with Zhang Ji's wife, Yun Yu once angered Zhang Xiu, so much so that he broke his eldest son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin and fierce general Dian Wei in Wancheng.
The whole era is such a background, Lu Bu took the two ladies of Ganmi, of course, no one will say anything.
Liu Bei said that he would be laughed at by the world, but it was just alarmist.
"You all think so?" Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.
"As long as Wen Hou likes it, all the women in the world can be put into the bag." Gao Shun replied: "Could it be that someone will still say that Wen Hou is not half a word?" β
"The conquest of the world is nothing more than a beauty." Lu Bu smiled: "But there are so many women in the world, how can I use it?" No one is like a cloud, and if you achieve great things in the future, you will have to collect a few more. β
"Thank you for your stay." The three generals responded.
The army was stationed outside the city, and there was no siege that day.
Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to cut down a lot of wood, and many soldiers were ping pong on the edge of the barracks, as if they were building something.
On the top of the city.
Liu Bei looked at Lu Bu's army, which was busy stacking wood.
His brow furrowed, and his face was very ugly.
When he fled from Xuzhou and left the two ladies, Lu Bu sent someone to Xudu to reunite their husband and wife.
At that time, although Lu Bu took away Xuzhou, he did not do everything.
Liu Bei thought that according to Lu Bu's character, he would still send his wife back this time.
After all, Lu Bu in the past often didn't pay much attention to it, but he would care about this kind of subsection.
But he miscalculated this time.
Lu Bu not only became younger, but the soul in his body was also replaced by another person.
The temperament has long been different, how can Lu Bu send back his two wives now?
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had just inspected the city defense, came to his side.
"Big brother, Lu Bu didn't fight when he came, he just kept knocking and knocking, what did he want to do?" Looking out of the city, Zhang Fei asked.
Liu Bei did not answer with a cold face.
Zhang Fei thought that he hadn't heard it and wanted to ask again, but the corner of his clothes was pulled by Guan Yu.
Glancing at him, Guan Yu shook his head.
Although Zhang Fei is reckless, he is not without eyesight.
Glancing at Guan Yu, he didn't ask any more.
After a long time, Liu Bei finally said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "They are building siege equipment. β
Looking at Lu Bujun, who was busy outside the city, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were at a loss.
Guan Yu asked, "How does the eldest brother know that they are building siege equipment?" β
"Look at the planks." Liu Bei said: "They put the planks in front of them to block the arrows. And those that are round should be round. β
After Liu Bei's guidance, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also vaguely saw what Lu Bujun was building.
"How can they build these and attack the city?" The equipment built by Lu Bujun was very tall, like a gatehouse, Guan Yu was very puzzled how to use them to attack the city?
"The towers advanced in front of the walls, and our arrows could not penetrate them, so they climbed to the top from the opposite side, and then opened the baffles and jumped on the walls." Liu Bei asked, "In this way, how can our army resist?" β
Following Liu Bei for many years, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have never seen such a thing.
They didn't know when Liu Bei had seen it.
"Big brother has seen siege engines outside the city?" Guan Yu asked.
"Perhaps." Liu Bei replied uncertainly: "I seem to have seen it somewhere." β
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have always been by his side.
Liu Bei has seen it, and it is impossible for the two of them not to see it.
It's impossible that the two haven't met.
They glanced at each other, but they couldn't remember where they had seen this strange siege machine!
LΓΌ Bu's army was stationed outside the city for four or five days.
More than twenty towering towers rise from the ground.
Unlike ordinary towers, these towers have four huge wheels at their bases.
The tower corresponded to the city wall, and LΓΌ Bu's army was ready to attack the city.
Before the expedition, Yan Xiang had strongly advised LΓΌ Bu not to kill Liu Bei, block the road to the north, and force him to Guangling, thus creating an excuse to attack Guangling.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Lu Bu also felt that it was more beneficial to keep Liu Bei alive for the time being than to kill him.
Chen Deng had already joined Cao Cao, he was entrenched in Guangling, and it was impossible for Lu Bu to dominate Xuzhou in the short term.
Let Liu Bei go to Guangling first, and then break Guangling.
Even if Liu Bei is allowed to run away again, he will stir up someone else in the future.
Fleeing from Xudu completely offended Cao Cao, and Xuzhou would not give him any chance.
No matter how good he is at drilling, the harm to Xuzhou will not be too great.
On the contrary, it is the heroes in the Central Plains who will be disturbed by him.
The pros and cons are clear at a glance, although he hates Liu Bei, Lu Bu still decides to let him live first.
The-stirring stick scatters others, but it is more beneficial to him.
