Cao Zhang nodded and walked straight to Ardaban.

"What are you going to do?"

Ardaban looked at Cao Zhang with horror.

The others also felt that something was wrong and started to move closer to Ardaban.

Surena even rushed directly to Ardaban, wanting to protect him behind him.

But in front of Cao Zhang, all these actions were too late.

When Surena was about to stop him, Cao Zhang drew his sword and killed Ardaban in front of him.

Everyone present panicked when they saw this scene.

Seeing this, Surena immediately shouted, "Come here, take these two people down for me."

There was a "bang" sound.

The gate of the palace was broken open and countless Parthian soldiers rushed in from outside.

In the time it takes to stick up an incense stick, more than two thousand people rushed in.

With so many people, Surena and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Caozhou Mu, I respect you as a guest of the Han Dynasty. I won't make it difficult for you to leave your men here. We must also give an explanation to all the civilians of the Parthian Empire."

Surena didn't want to completely offend Cao Cao, so he chose the most neutral method.

"Oh? Then should I thank you? Do you think these people can stop him?"

As Cao Cao's voice fell, Cao Zhang waved the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and a red light flashed.

More than 2,000 people in the palace fell to the ground in an instant.

This time, they finally saw the gap between their group of famous generals and the legendary generals.

Killing two thousand people with one move, even if these famous generals attacked together, they probably couldn't achieve such an effect.

This time, everyone present, including Surena, calmed down.

They knew that Cao Cao now had the ability to destroy their entire country by himself.

Cao Cao alone has such ability, but they all know that the strongest person in the Han Dynasty is not Cao Cao, but his uncle, King Lie Liu Bei.

They finally understood that Liu Bei was not fighting them seriously at all and was just dragging them down.

Thinking about how they once really thought they could attack the Han Dynasty, seize Liang Province, and divide the Han Dynasty's territory, they all broke out in cold sweats, as if they had walked around the gate of death.

"Everyone, can we talk now?"

Upon hearing this, Surena smiled bitterly. Is there any need to talk about this?
"Caozhou Mu, just tell me directly, what do you want?"

"It's very simple. I want you to cease fire with Rome and unite to fight against the King of Han. At the same time, I want to make sure that Parthia is completely under my control. Whoever listens to me will be the king."

Hearing this condition, Surena fell into deep thought. Cao Cao wanted to develop Parthia into his chess piece, and the kind that could be thrown away at any time.

Just when Surena was about to speak out in objection, a man stood up.

"Caozhou Mu, if you want us to cease fire, that's fine, or even form an alliance with Rome, but if you want to control Parthia, I cannot agree to that."

Hearing this, Cao Cao looked at the person who spoke.

"Who are you?"

"The governor of Caozhou, his name is Su Lin. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next person to become king."

Surena was afraid that Cao Cao would kill Su Lin, so he stepped forward to stop him and reported Su Lin's identity, hoping that Cao Cao would let him go.

"No accident? It seems that this accident is bound to happen."

Cao Zhang understood what Cao Cao meant, and walked directly to Su Lin with his Fang Tian Hua Ji.

Before anyone else could speak, Su Lin closed his eyes completely.

In the blink of an eye, Cao Zhang killed two famous generals, and the two men had no ability to resist at all. Surena had completely understood that they had no right to resist at all.

"Everything is up to Caozhou Mu."

With Surena's words, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, now I declare that Surena is the king of the Parthians. Anyone who dares to disrespect him is disrespecting me. As for the consequences, I think you should all understand without me saying anything, right?"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he pointed to the two corpses on the ground.

Surena, who was standing aside, looked at the powerful Cao Cao with a gloomy face, but still ascended the throne.

"Pass my order and immediately convey the goodwill of the alliance to Rome. Let's see what Rome says first."

Hearing this, everyone nodded immediately.

After everyone left, Cao Cao looked at Surena.

"You are very good. Among these people, you are the one I admire most. That's why all those who opposed me died, but you are still alive. But I hope you won't let me down. I have three people like Cao Zhang. It only takes me half a day to destroy you all."

After saying that, Cao Cao patted Surena on the shoulder, laughed, and turned around and left with Cao Zhang.

When Rome received the news of the alliance from Parthia, everyone was confused.

The two sides have been fighting for so long and so many people have died. How can they just stop fighting? It's not impossible to form an alliance, but what should they do with so many casualties on both sides?
"We will not consent to an alliance unless all our losses are compensated, half of the territory of Parthia is given to us, and all territory in Rome is withdrawn."

"Yes, unless these conditions are met, we are firmly opposed."

Just as this group of people were shouting, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Everyone, you may have forgotten that I am the king now, right?"

When the voice fell, everyone present looked at the person on the throne.

"King Sulla, do you approve of the alliance?"

Looking at the chaotic palace, Sura frowned slightly, and after a long silence, he nodded and said, "I agree."

After hearing this voice, the palace fell into complete silence.

Ever since Sulla became king, voices of opposition have emerged in all parts of Rome. Sulla had no qualifications and no achievements. If he had not relied on his strength as a famous general, he would have been kicked out of the palace long ago and would probably not even have the chance to see the king.

But such a person happened to become the king. All the voices of opposition disappeared in just one day, and even his corpse was not seen.

The disappearance of the voices of resistance did not mean that all the ministers agreed, but they all knew that behind Sura stood Sun Jian of the Han Dynasty, so they could only suppress their dissatisfaction with Sura in their hearts.

"King, don't forget that we lost 300,000 soldiers in this war. If you agree to the alliance now, what will the loss of 300,000 soldiers mean?"

"Yeah, what's the big deal?" Sura frowned slightly as he heard the voices of opposition growing louder and louder.

"Everyone, do you think I am the one who wants the alliance? Or do you think we can make the decisions in Rome now?"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Fabian hesitated for a long time, but still asked, "Who is it?"

"Well, I am just conveying his meaning. If you want to object, I will give my throne to you. You lead Rome to resist him. If you win, you will be the king, but if you lose, then I can do nothing about it."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

To fight against Sun Jian? If they could really fight, Caesar would have led all of them to fight, but Sun Ce's shot still echoed in their hearts.

After hearing that there was finally no opposition, Sulla directly ordered to go and negotiate peace.

When Gu Rubing received the information, Parthia had already begun peace talks with Rome.

Looking at the information in his hand, Gu Rubing suddenly felt some pressure.

There were only Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci in Liang Province, with 100,000 soldiers under their command. It was obviously difficult for them to resist the joint forces of Parthia and Rome.

The speed of the truce and peace talks between Parthia and Rome even exceeded Zhuge Liang's judgment, but Zhuge Liang soon figured out the methods of Sun Jian and Cao Cao.

"They are not strong enough in the Central Plains, and now they have gone to other places, holding the emperor hostage to control the princes, and creating a puppet. It's amazing that they can think of this."

Listening to Zhuge Liang's muttering, Gu Rubing instantly understood.

"Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

"My lord, the only solution now is to solve the troubles in Rome and Parthia first, otherwise Liangzhou will always be tied down. In comparison, the west is easier to solve."

"it is good!"

Gu Rubing followed Zhuge Liang's advice and prepared to send people to Liangzhou.

"My lord, you can't do that. Only the two of us can go to Liangzhou this time. None of the soldiers here can move."

"No one can move? Then what's the point of us going there?"

"We can't help it. The difference in strength between us is not that big right now. If we withdraw troops from Jiaozhou, I'm afraid the other side will take advantage of our opportunity and attack us, and we will suffer heavy losses."

Gu Rubing nodded, and took Zhuge Liang with him, and the two of them rushed to Liangzhou.

However, shortly after Gu Rubing left, Cao Cao and Sun Jian had already received the news.

Both of them actually chose to join forces to besiege Jiaozhou while Gu Rubing was away.

This time they had to find a way out, at least to ensure that there were no obstacles to communication between the two of them.

Zhuge Liang had anticipated the counterattack of the two men and had already given orders.

As the two men started to attack, Guan Yu immediately began to shrink his defense line and took the initiative to make way.

In the end, only Yulin County and Cangwu County in Jiaozhou were in the hands of Gu Rubing, and the rest were divided between Sun Jian and Cao Cao.

At the same time, Wujun.

Lu Xun and Sun Quan are quite relaxed here.

The battle in Jiaozhou was raging, and Sun Jian's order to them was to hold on and wait, so Gu Rubing never sent anyone here.

Not having seen Gu Rubing's army for a long time reduced Sun Quan's fear a lot, and he even had some other ideas.

"Bo Yan, my father told us not to leave the city. Now that Liu Bei is no longer a threat, should we do something?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun looked at Sun Quan. Seeing Sun Quan's burning gaze, he suddenly felt bad.

He could sense that the young master was becoming restless again.

"Young Master, we should be honest. Even if we take Liu Bei's territory with all our heart, we will not be able to keep it. You will have to give it back, and we will waste a lot of manpower. Now the Lord is short of manpower. Our 100,000-man army is the Lord's last trump card, so we can't use it recklessly."

Sun Quan was somewhat dissatisfied when he saw that Lu Xun did not agree with his plan.

He felt that he had seen a pretty good opportunity.

Starting from Wujun, before Gu Rubing could react, they captured Xuzhou, then Yanzhou, and finally directly attacked Sili.

As long as he was fast enough, he could seize Sili without anyone noticing. Even if there were accidents along the way, so what? He still had the territories of Xuzhou and Yanzhou. Even if he was defeated and had to retreat, where could he retreat to? In this way, he could still hold one or two cities, so his trip would not be in vain.

Without Gu Rubing's suppression, Sun Quan felt that he was able to do it again.

Sun Quan didn't care that Lu Xun rejected his plan.

Late at night, Sun Quan found his White Feather Guards and quietly left the city with an army of 60,000.

But these 60,000 troops are no small number, and soon the news that Sun Quan was leading his army out of the city reached Lu Xun's ears.

When Lu Xun thought of the plan that Sun Quan had told him during the day, his face suddenly changed and he immediately sent people to chase after him.

Sun Quan led an army of 60,000 and, at the beginning, he followed his plan and quickly swallowed up most of Xuzhou without encountering any effective resistance.

As for the messengers sent by Lu Xun, they were all captured by Sun Quan.

As long as you don't take it seriously, you haven't heard or seen the so-called messenger.

A few days later, just as Lu Xun was about to swallow up the entire Xuzhou, a voice that frightened Sun Quan appeared not far away.

"Jiangdong rats, how dare you come out again? It's just right for your grandfather Zhang Liao to come and loosen up your muscles."

As soon as he heard Zhang Liao's name, Sun Quan turned and ran.

Zhang Liao quickly caught up.

Originally, according to Zhuge Liang's arrangement, he should try his best to avoid conflict with Sun Jian before he returned.

But who would have thought that Sun Quan would be so dishonest and actually break out from Wujun, which made Guan Yu a little unbearable.

The rats from Jiangdong actually dared to attack Xuzhou. Guan Yu felt that he was being underestimated.

After learning about the number of people under Sun Quan's command, Guan Yu looked at everyone present.

"Everyone, Sun Quan has brought 60,000 Yangzhou troops into Xuzhou. There is no decent defense inside Xuzhou, so we need our people to support it. But now Cao Cao and Sun Jian have gathered 200,000 troops not far away, so we can't send too many reinforcements this time. No matter who goes, you will focus on defense."

After hearing Guan Yu's words, everyone looked at each other. The legendary generals could not leave, and the only ones who could go were the famous generals present. But everyone knew that when Gu Rubing and Zhuge Liang came back, there would be a big battle in Jiaozhou, and no one wanted to miss it.

As for Sun Quan, none of them took him seriously. What they cared more about was that once they arrived in Xuzhou, they would need to defend, which would be very passive and they would also miss the battle in Jiaozhou.

Seeing that no one stood up, Guan Yu knew what they were thinking and smiled bitterly with some helplessness.
