My Father in Law is Lu Bu

Chapter 524

Chapter 524

The next morning, Liu Bei wore his armor and brought his subordinates up the wall of Fancheng. One day was enough for the Allied Forces to arrive but there was no news of them.

“What’s going on?” Liu Bei did not know why his enemies weren’t here yet.

“Milord. I have already dispatched scouts to check out the surrounding area fifteen kilometers away.” Hu Che Er explained.

“Still no sign of them? Expand the area to twenty five kilometers. You must find the enemy!” Liu Bei ordered. He could not rest easy at this critical moment.

“Understood.” Hu Che Er replied. Liu Bei stayed at the walls for another four hours in case the enemy suddenly appeared. At this time, Hu Che Er returned with a strange expression.

“What’s wrong? Are you unable to find the Allied Forces?”

“We’ve found them Milord but… they are still twenty five kilometers away!” Hu Che Er explained. An entire day had passed but the enemy did not move at all.

“They did not move at all?” Liu Bei frowned. What could they be thinking of? “Are both armies there?”

“Yes. My subordinate confirmed it. Altogether, there are four camps, about thirty thousand stoves and the banners of both Jingzhou and Yangzhou.” Hu Che Er explained. He also said that the Allied Forces did not exactly stay still but were moving around within the same area.

“What are they doing?” Liu Bei could not understand. If the Allied Forces moved half a kilometer a day, it would take fifty days to reach Fancheng.

“Milord! Allow this Hu Che Er to tear that Chen Deng apart right now!” Hu Che Er suggested. Right now, Chen Deng was still within range of a charge.

“Hm?” Liu Bei looked back and then rejected Hu Che Er’s proposal. “I cannot show such injustice here even if he is heartless. No need, let us go back.”

Although Liu Bei said this, he actually wanted to kill Chen Deng then and there more than anyone. He only stopped himself because of all the trenches. If they were to attack, they would simply fall into a trap.

Looking at the trenches again, Liu Bei gave a disdainful smile as he thought to himself. “Are they trying to make a camp as wide as twenty five kilometers? Or perhaps they intend to trap me in Fancheng? What a joke!”
