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

Chapter 418 Gu Rubing goes to Beijing and meets
Wang Zhao's sudden roar broke Chen Chao's shaken state, and Chen Chao came back to his senses. Wang Zhao continued to curse in a hoarse voice.

"I knew you were a coward. I should have come here with you in the first place. I should have let the general keep you here, you coward!"

"Fuck you, I don't care even if it hurts you to death."

Chen Chao had returned to normal at this moment and cursed at Wang Zhao. Wang Zhao was in so much pain that he couldn't even lift his head. He could only pull up the corners of his mouth, but then the piercing pain made him retract his grin. Chen Chao turned his head and looked at Xiahou Dun beside him.

"Kill him quickly. I get annoyed when I see him."

Chen Chao choked a little, but returned to normal in an instant. Just now, because he was concentrating, he did not feel the presence of the dagger in his abdomen. Only now did he feel the pain coming from his abdomen.

Xiahou Dun was about to complete his mission, but was interrupted by Wang Zhao's scolding. Xiahou Dun completely lost his patience. When he raised the dagger in his hand and was about to stab in, a man suddenly pushed the door open.

"Yuan Rang, Liu Bei is here."

After hearing these words, Xiahou Dun's raised arm seemed to lose its strength and fell down helplessly. Then he pulled out the three daggers from the two men's bodies, and blood gushed out immediately.

"Carry them out."

Xiahou Dun waved his hands. In the end, he was unable to force anything out of the two people.

At this moment, in the city of Xudu, Gu Rubing was leading Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao, slowly advancing towards the direction of the imperial palace. Behind them, there were only five hundred cavalrymen following them.

There was no expression on Gu Rubing's face, and his reaction could not be seen. Although there was no reaction on his face, he was very happy in his heart at this moment, because before Yanzhou entered Yuzhou, Guan Yu came from Bingzhou, and the Five Tiger Generals gathered together for the first time. After Ma Chao saw Guan Yu, he worshipped Guan Yu like a little fan. After all, he killed two enemies who killed his husband with just two swords. How could Ma Chao not worship Guan Yu?

The two did not dislike each other like Guan Yu and Ma Chao in history. When Guan Yu and Huang Zhong met in Jiangxia County, there was no friction either. They got along very well with each other. Many things were the same as in history, but there were also many differences. The tide of history had begun to shift and was no longer developing as before.

The reason why Gu Rubing was so happy was that after the five people gathered together, they actually directly triggered a bond: the Five Tiger Generals.

[Five Tiger Generals Bond: Triggered when the generals under your command have Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao.]

[Five Tiger Generals bond effect: Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao each gain +100% bonus to all attributes, Guan Yu gain +300% attack power, Zhang Fei gain +200% movement speed, Zhao Yun gain +300% defense, Huang Zhong gain +300% bow attack power, Ma Chao gain +100% toughness.]

[Special effect of the Five Tiger Generals fighting side by side: When two or more of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao fight at the same time, they can provide each other with 10% of their own characteristics. The minimum is when there are two people. Each additional person can get an additional 2% characteristic bonus.]

The bond effect of the Five Tiger Generals only gave a 100% bonus to all attributes. Not to mention it was very low, it was indeed a bit shabby. At least Gu Rubing was very confused when he saw this. The Five Tiger Generals, the most powerful team in the entire Three Kingdoms, only gave a 100% bonus to all attributes. Wasn't this a joke?
Even after seeing the special effects obtained by the last five people, Gu Rubing felt that they were a bit ordinary. However, the effect of increasing the bonus based on each person's specialties was quite good.

Guan Yu can break all the attacks with one force, and his Spring and Autumn swordsmanship also relies on the high bonus of attack power, so he got a 300 attack power bonus. Zhang Fei's is speed. They are all based on the characteristics of each of them. This is quite humane. However, after seeing the entire bond effect, it was the first time that Gu Rubing felt that the panel was ordinary.

It was not until Gu Rubing saw the line of words below, "Five Tiger Generals fighting side by side with special effects", that the following content attracted Gu Rubing deeply. Everyone can get a 10% bonus on the characteristics of others, and the more people there are, the higher the bonus. If five people go to the battlefield at the same time, then each of them can get an 18% bonus on the characteristics of the other four people.

Only 18%, which sounds a bit ordinary, but with a little calculation, you will find that this bonus is actually very terrifying.

Why is it that although Zhao Yun is only a first-rate general, he is not inferior to powerful generals such as Zhang Liao and Zhang Fei? It is because of Zhao Yun's characteristics that he can obtain all the benefits of his subordinates. Now, Zhao Yun can not only give this characteristic bonus to them, but also obtain bonuses from others.

Their bonuses are often in the thousands, and even if it is only 18%, the accumulated bonus is a considerable amount of ability, which is why Gu Rubing has been very happy along the way.

After entering Xudu City, Gu Rubing's face became serious.

As soon as Gu Rubing entered the city, Cao Cao got the news and went straight to the palace to meet Liu Xie. The last time Gu Rubing came to Xu Du, it was because of Liu Xie's secret help that Gu Rubing was able to leave Xu Du safely. This time, although Cao Cao was not prepared to fight with Gu Rubing, he had to be on guard against Liu Xie.

In recent times, Cao Cao felt more and more that he could not control the young emperor. This situation made Cao Cao unhappy. In his opinion, Liu Xie should be a puppet and should be firmly controlled by him. Now Liu Xie actually wanted to rebel against him. How could Cao Cao agree to it?

Arriving at the room where the emperor handled government affairs, Cao Cao pushed the door open without waiting for the eunuch to report, came in front of Liu Xie, and said with a forced smile.

"Your Majesty should know about Liu Bei's visit to the capital."

Inside the room, Liu Xie, who was reviewing memorials, paused for a moment, then continued writing and spoke calmly.

"I still don't know what King Lie is doing in the capital."

After Liu Xie finished reviewing a memorial, he placed it next to a thick stack of memorials he had approved, and then turned to review the next one. Just like the previous ones, all the memorials that could be sent to Liu Xie were, without exception, carefully selected by Cao Cao. However, now Gu Rubing controlled the Kyushu area, and many memorials were also sent from him.

When Gu Rubing and Guan Yu submitted their memorials, there was nothing else to say except greetings to Liu Xie. Cao Cao originally thought that Gu Rubing and the others might have hidden secrets in the memorials and were communicating in secret codes, but Cao Cao intercepted them several times and found nothing. Later, he simply ignored them and sent all the memorials of greeting to Liu Xie so that Liu Xie would behave himself and avoid another fire in Cao Cao's backyard.

"Your Majesty really doesn't know?"

Cao Cao asked tentatively. He always felt that Liu Bei might have informed Liu Xie through some unknown method when he came to Xu Du this time, so he came to the palace.

"What does the Prime Minister mean by this? Are you questioning me?"

Liu Xie was slightly angry. He really didn't know Liu Bei was coming to Xudu. In addition, Liu Xie's opinion of Cao Cao was increasing day by day, so his tone was a bit bad. After hearing Liu Xie's words, Cao Cao changed his face, stepped forward, stood in front of Liu Xie's desk, and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, don't forget that Your Majesty can sit here without worries now because of me. I want you to sit here, so you can sit here!"

Faced with Cao Cao's threat, Liu Xie did not give in at all. He slammed the table and stood up.

"Prime Minister! Watch your attitude when talking to me!"

Liu Xie and Cao Cao were confronting each other. Cao Cao was in a trance. It seemed that this was the first time that Liu Xie had openly disagreed with Cao Cao and confronted him. Cao Cao came to his senses and smiled contemptuously.

"It seems that our Majesty has grown up, but you still have to be careful. This is the first time you spoke to me like this, and it will be the last time. If it happens again, I don't mind changing the position of emperor to someone else, such as your brother, or your cousins. I'm sure they are all very interested in this position."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Liu Xie and turned to leave. This move of striking the mountain to scare the tiger was intended to intimidate Liu Xie and make him restrain himself. Liu Xie was so angry that the hand holding the pen trembled slightly.

"By the way, Your Majesty, during the two days that Liu Bei is in the capital, I will ask Your Majesty to stay in this study and not attend the morning court. If Your Majesty really wants to handle matters, I will prepare more memorials for Your Majesty and Your Majesty can review them."

After saying that, Cao Cao walked out of Liu Xie's study without looking back. Then dozens of well-equipped heavily armored soldiers stood in front of Liu Xie's room, separating Liu Xie from the world with layers of heavy armor.

After solving the hidden danger of Liu Xie, Cao Cao left the palace and waited quietly for Gu Rubing's arrival at the palace gate. Since Gu Rubing entered Yuzhou, all his actions have been under Cao Cao's surveillance. Until now, Gu Rubing has entered Xudu City and is still being monitored by Cao Cao.

"My lord, Liu Bei has arrived with 500 cavalrymen, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao."

Dian Wei clenched his teeth when he said the word Guan Yu. He would always remember that he was seriously injured by Guan Yu's sword. Since he started practicing martial arts, he had never suffered such a defeat. However, Dian Wei was not afraid of Guan Yu because of this. Instead, he regarded Guan Yu as his target and a lifelong enemy.

"Only five generals and five hundred cavalrymen. Could it be that Liu Bei has some conspiracy?"

Cao Cao's intuition told him that things were not as simple as they seemed. Liu Bei must have other preparations, otherwise why would he only bring 500 cavalrymen into the city?
Or maybe Liu Bei was confident that he could rely on the ability of the legendary general Guan Yu to protect him and no longer needed other soldiers?

Shaking his head, Cao Cao stopped thinking about these annoying things and waited quietly for Gu Rubing's arrival. Soon, a team came towards them. Liu Bei, who was walking in the front, was wearing armor and had his weapon hanging around his waist, a double-edged sword. He looked domineering and did not seem like a second-rate general at all. That was the temperament that could only be cultivated by those who had been in a high position for a long time.

Behind him, Guan Yu and his men lined up in a row, revealing an unmistakable powerful aura that intimidated the surrounding Cao army and made them dare not move forward. The five hundred cavalrymen behind them were all well-armored, with sharp spears in their hands that flashed white light, demonstrating the sharpness of the spears.

These 500 cavalrymen don't look like cavalrymen at all. Each of them holds a spear. Not to mention soldiers, even some military generals can't match their momentum. Those who know that these are 500 cavalrymen would think that this is an army composed of 500 military generals.

Seeing Gu Rubing approaching, Cao Cao spoke first.

"Xuan De, long time no see."

With just one sentence, Cao Cao brought Gu Rubing, who was now a prince, to the same status as himself. He did not regard Gu Rubing as a prince at all. Gu Rubing was naturally very clear about Cao Cao's little thoughts, but he had no interest in arguing about these things with Cao Cao. He just nodded slightly as a response to Cao Cao.

"It seems you didn't bring the things we agreed on."

Cao Cao still had a smile on his face, but it was still that smile without any real meaning.

"Nine hundred first-class war horses have been prepared at the border between Sili Province and Liang Province. Before that, I need to see my three subordinates first."

"Three people?"

Cao Cao looked at Gu Rubing with some confusion. He had clearly written four names. Although Cao Cao stated in the letter that he had caught all these spies, this clumsy lie was indeed easy to see through. But even if he saw through it, he should have brought 1100 war horses. It didn't make sense to bring only .

"You should know that you don't have so few people under my command here."

"Heh, Cao Mengde, you should know better. There are only three of us here with you."

"Three?"

Cao Cao repeated it again. He couldn't understand why there were three, so he repeated his words again, but Gu Rubing just sneered at his question.

"Among those four people, one is not mine. Are you really not clear about this, or are you pretending to be confused?"

Cao Cao then realized that there were only three of them here. No wonder Gu Rubing only brought 900 war horses.

"So that's how it is. Are you so confident that I won't uproot your people?"

"What are you talking about? Haven't you already uprooted it?"

Gu Rubing finally revealed a smile, Cao Cao also smiled and shook his head, didn't say anything more, just waved his hand, and soon, Xiahou Dun came out with two people, who were Wang Zhao and Chen Chao who were covered in blood. Chen Chao's mental state was still good, after all, he had not been tortured too much, but Wang Zhao was not so good, and was already drowsy at the moment.

Soldiers who have fought on the battlefield for many years know that at this critical moment, if they fall asleep, the chance of waking up again is almost zero. Seeing the two people, Gu Rubing's smile froze on his face.
