Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms

As Gu Rubing cut down with his knife, the man in black finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Kill me, please kill me!"

Gu Rubing didn't pay any attention to what the man in black said and continued waving the dagger in his hand.

Finally, the man in black fainted completely.

Gu Rubing poured a basin of cold water directly on the man in black.

The weak man in black opened his eyes and looked at Gu Rubing who was still coming forward, his eyes full of fear.

"I'm a soldier of the Anluo Empire. I came here on the orders of the king to cause you some trouble and support the front battlefield from the side."

Looking at the assassin in front of him, Gu Rubing just laughed, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile.

The death squads raised by Liu Zhang were all like this, afraid of death and greedy for life, but such people were able to enter the heavily guarded imperial palace. This means how lax the defense of the palace is, and there must be someone inside the palace who is related to this group of people.

The last time I went back, I only cleared out some small fish and shrimps. The real giants must have been hiding.

It turns out that the person he captured is a waste and is of no use at all.

"My Lord, give me some time. Yun will definitely be able to find the remaining people."

Zhao Yun came to Gu Rubing's side. Now the war was over, Sun Jian was about to be defeated, their strategic plan had been completed, and there was nothing to do here. For them now, these assassins hiding in the dark were the biggest threat to them. Zhao Yun wanted to eliminate all possible threats.

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing immediately shook his head. He had other plans for keeping this person.

"Call the Prime Minister."

"yes!"

After Zhao Yun left, Gu Rubing looked at the assassins in front of him and thought about his own plan in his mind.

Not long after, Zhuge Liang walked in.

"My Lord, you are looking for me?"

"Prime Minister, this man is Liu Zhang's loyal soldier. The herbs we are short of are all in the Western Regions, which is now Liu Zhang's territory. It is not worth it to start a war for these herbs. What I mean is, let the news of this loyal soldier spread and use him to exchange herbs with Liu Zhang. What do you think?"

Zhuge Liang did not reply to Gu Rubing, but walked up to the assassin, observed him carefully, remained silent for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"My lord, this is inappropriate. If it were Cao Cao or Sun Jian, they might agree, but we have too few bargaining chips, and the amount we can exchange is bound to be small. This will expose our current weakness. But now our business partner is Liu Zhang, who is not as capable as Cao and Sun. He doesn't care about the overall situation. A dead soldier is not a threat to him."

Hearing this, Gu Rubing was immediately disappointed. He turned around and prepared to have someone kill the assassin in front of him.

But Zhuge Liang's next words made Gu Rubing give up this idea.

"My lord, although it is useless to use this person to threaten Liu Zhang, this person should be able to lure someone that Liu Zhang values ​​over here."

"Hmm? Prime Minister, you are talking about Surena?"

"Yes!"

Gu Rubing reacted instantly. Liu Zhang would not care about a single death warrior, but if it was his number one military advisor Surena, then Liu Zhang would care. After all, without Surena, not to mention that hundreds of thousands of troops would be without a commander, he would not even be able to control the domestic situation.

Liu Zhang himself was a mediocre person. It was only after he had Surena, and even after Surena grew up, that he had the ability to compete with the three princes.

Soon, a strategy gradually took shape through discussions between Gu Rubing and Zhuge Liang.

Just when Gu Rubing and his men were taking action against Liu Zhang, Sun Jian and Cao Cao also met at the same time.

Seeing Cao Cao appear, Sun Jian immediately stepped forward.

"King Wei, you are finally here. If you don't come, I might have to take my people and leave the Central Plains battlefield. If you are alone at that time, I am a little curious, how do you plan to stop Liu Bei?"

Cao Cao could naturally feel Sun Jian's resentment.

This time Sun Jian suffered heavy losses, which was more or less related to him.

"King Wu, why are you so angry? I came here to help you solve your problem. This time, not only I came, but also reinforcements from the Anluo Empire came from my side. Now the three of us have gathered nearly 300,000 troops. Even if Liu Bei is powerful, he can't swallow us up in a short time."

Upon hearing this, Sun Jian snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Cao Cao smiled and hurried forward.

"King Wu, calm down. We have brought a large amount of food and fodder with us this time. Yulin County is now as strong as a fortress and is absolutely safe."

However, while the two were talking, Meng Huo and Miao Moqing quietly moved away from the crowd.

"King, now our Gu tribe's territory is in Liu Bei's hands, what should we do?"

When Jiaozhi County fell at the beginning, they were not too worried. In their opinion, it would not be too complicated for the three forces to come together and take back Jiaozhou.

But now, neither of them had expected that when these three parties gathered together, no one wanted to counterattack, but they were all thinking about how to defend. This meant that Jiaozhou could never be taken back.

"Sun Jian is such a loser. I didn't expect him to be defeated so quickly. We bet on the wrong horse this time. Considering the grudge between us and Liu Bei, it is definitely impossible for us to surrender to Liu Bei. Let's go back secretly, take away everyone we can, and leave the Central Plains."

"yes!"

Sun Jian was in a meeting with Cao Cao and did not notice that the two legendary generals under his command had left.

The two discussed for a long time and finally came up with a plan, which was to join forces with Liu Zhang and force Gu Rubing to fight on three fronts. The longer the front line was, the more advantageous it would be for them.

But Liu Zhang is not here now, so Cao Cao decided to find Liu Zhang first.

On a mountain in Jiaozhou.

A group of bandits gathered in the mountain stronghold.

"Boss, several teams have disappeared. There are traces of fighting in the places where they disappeared. Liu Bei must have discovered our presence. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid he will find us soon."

"No, we haven't received any orders to retreat. Moreover, we only ambushed Zhang Liao once after we arrived, and he escaped. If we don't make any achievements, wouldn't our trip be in vain?"

While several people were still arguing, a bandit rushed into the room, his face and body covered in blood.

"Boss, it's bad, someone is coming to kill us, run!"

However, just as the man finished speaking, a silver spear flew in and nailed the messenger to the wall.

Seeing this scene, the bandit leader immediately picked up the long sword beside him, and saw Zhao Yun, dressed in silver armor, walking in from outside, and behind Zhao Yun, there were two hundred white horse volunteers.

"I am Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong. I am following the orders of King Lie to attack you. Those who surrender will not be killed!"

However, these bandits were quite tough. After learning that the person coming was Zhao Yun, they had no intention of surrendering at all. They drew their weapons and rushed towards Zhao Yun.

After just a brief contact, Zhao Yun was a little disappointed. He had thought that there would be masters among these people, but it turned out that the strongest one was just a first-rate general, barely half a step away from reaching the level of a quasi-famous general.

Zhao Yun casually made a move and cut the tendons of all these people's hands and feet.

"If the lord had not wanted you to be useful, I would have killed you long ago. Take you away."

Gu Rubing stood on the city wall and looked into the distance.

It has been almost five days since Zhao Yun arrived, and there has been no news.

Gu Rubing was not worried about Zhao Yun's safety. After all, those people could never be Zhao Yun's opponent. Gu Rubing was mainly worried about whether Zhao Yun could bring anyone out alive.

The sky gradually darkened. Gu Rubing thought that Zhao Yun would not come back today. When he was about to turn around and leave, he saw Zhao Yun and his white horse soldiers walking towards him from a distance.

"Open the gates."

Gu Rubing immediately walked out of the city.

"My lord, Yun, I have fulfilled my mission!"

Zhao Yun said this and waved his hand.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The Baima Yicong came out with a large number of captives.

"My lord, after our investigation over this period of time, we found that these people are the elite leaders sent by Liu Zhang this time."

"Okay, now that we have these people, we can start our plan."

Gu Rubing smiled and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder, then led Zhao Yun and others into the city.

Inside the parade ground of the royal city of the Anluo Empire.

Surena is directing the soldiers in training.

A soldier brought a letter to Surena.

"Marshal, a man came outside and left us a letter, then left."

Surena nodded and opened the letter.

When he saw what was written on the letter, his eyes widened and there was some panic in his eyes.

"Marshal, what's wrong?"

The soldier looked at Surena in front of him with a puzzled look on his face. It was the first time he saw such an expression on the face of his marshal.

"It's okay, you go down first."

After the soldiers left, Surena came to the palace with the letter.

"King, something has happened."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhang immediately put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked at the letter handed to him by Surena.

After reading it once, Liu Zhang smiled bitterly with helplessness.

This letter was given to them by Liu Bei. The content of the letter was very simple. Liu Bei and his men had captured a group of people. These people were elites trained by Surena, and there were quite a few of them. If they wanted to rescue them, they let Surena go over to trade.

"Surena, what do you think about this?"

While Surena was hesitating, Wu Lan walked in anxiously.

"My lord, have a group of us been captured by Liu Bei? And he said he would ask the marshal to discuss a deal?"

"Yes, but how did you know that?"

After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he looked at Surena who was standing beside him. He thought it was Surena who told Wu Lan.

Surena is well aware of the pros and cons of this, so how could he possibly spread such a thing everywhere?

Seeing Surena shaking his head, Liu Zhang became even more suspicious.

"It's all over the place. Almost everyone knows about it. Everyone is suspicious about it, so they asked me to come and ask."

"Does anyone outside know about this?"

Surena looked at Wu Lan in front of him with a look of disbelief.

Wu Lan just nodded and didn't say anything.

Surena knew that all this was Liu Bei's strategy. Once he refused, his reputation in the Anluo Empire would drop to the lowest level, and no one would be willing to work for him anymore.

"Marshal, what do you think about this matter?"

Listening to Liu Zhang's words, Surena sighed and bowed to Liu Zhang.

"King, I'll go!"

"You're going? You're going to..."

Liu Zhang was about to stop him, but Surena stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"King, I must go. According to my investigation, similar things have happened in the Central Plains. Whether it was Liu Bei, Sun Jian, or Cao Cao, they all chose to save people. We cannot be an exception, otherwise their soldiers will definitely have resentment towards us. Liu Bei's purpose this time is to attack me, but it doesn't matter. I naturally have a way to escape."

Seeing that Surena insisted again and again, Liu Zhang wanted to stop him, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only nod in the end.

Shortly after Surena left, a soldier walked in.

"Your Majesty, there is a messenger outside who claims to be from the King of Wei."

"King of Wei? Cao Cao, why did he ask someone to come? Does he want my support?"

When Liu Zhang thought of the purpose of Cao Cao asking for his support, he suddenly felt a headache. As Surena was not there, he directly asked people to settle the envoy of King Wei and wait until Surena came back before making a decision.

Surena rushed to Jiaozhou without stopping.

Before Surena could go find him, Zhao Yun arrived in front of him.

"Great Marshal of King Yi, you have really made my lord wait for a long time. Please follow me."

Hearing this, Surena just smiled and said nothing, following Zhao Yun silently.

When Gu Rubing learned that Surena was coming, he immediately arranged a banquet to welcome Surena.

It is impossible to say that I don't like Surena. He is second only to Zhuge Liang. The rapid progress of Surena must be related to his ability. But at present, I am completely unknown about Surena. The purpose of letting Surena come this time is, on the one hand, to exchange for greater benefits, and on the other hand, to recruit him.

"Marshal Surena is here, please take a seat."

When Gu Rubing saw Surena coming, he directly asked her to sit at a table nearby.

Seeing Gu Rubing's enthusiasm, Surena frowned slightly and guessed Gu Rubing's purpose at once. He simply took advantage of the situation and followed Gu Rubing's lead. This would be of great help to his plan. (End of this chapter)
