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

Chapter 619: The battle situation in Liangzhou!

Zhuge Liang discussed the following matters with Gu Rubing for a whole day.

By the time we finished the discussion and walked out of the room, it was already evening.

Only then did Gu Rubing remember that Xiaoling was missing.

After asking, I found out that Xiaoling was eating.

When Gu Rubing rushed over, he saw Xiaoling eating a leg of lamb.

"Big brother, you are here."

Gu Rubing smiled and nodded.

"Xiaoling, do you plan to live here, or do you want to live in the palace?"

"I want to live in the palace."

"The palace? Isn't it good to live here with big brother?"

When Xiaoling heard this, she hesitated.

Gu Rubing noticed that Xiaoling seemed to be hiding something.

"Xiaoling, is there anything troubling you?"

"Big brother, it was the big brother holding the fan who said, if you ask me where I want to live, you should tell me to live in the palace and observe the emperor's every move."

"Take the fan? Are you talking about Prime Minister Zhuge?"

"Yes, it's the Prime Minister."

Gu Rubing did not expect that Zhuge Liang actually wanted Xiaoling to live in the palace.

However, Gu Rubing also understood that Xiaoling would definitely have her role in the palace, but she was still a child after all, and it would be too dangerous to let her look after the emperor.

Although Gu Rubing didn't want to, he knew that he couldn't interfere with Zhuge Liang's arrangements, at least until he figured it out.

After talking to Xiaoling, Gu Rubing found an opportunity to leave and found Zhuge Liang.

"Prime Minister, Xiaoling is still just a child. You let her..."

"My lord, don't worry. The palace is the safest place at the moment. The emperor will be on guard against anyone, but he will never be on guard against a child."

Gu Rubing opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.

Early the next morning.

Gu Rubing bid farewell to Xiaoling and rushed to Liangzhou with Zhao Yun and 10,000 soldiers.

Originally, Gu Rubing planned to go with Zhao Yun, but this time, not only Lu Su, but also Zhuge Liang and others shook their heads to express their refusal.

As Gu Rubing left, Zhuge Liang also set off for the front line. After all, he was the only one who could hold the situation under control.

three days later.

Taishi Ci looked at the Anluo army in the distance, and a trace of solemnity appeared in his eyes.

After a few days of inquiries, Taishi Ci learned that after Surena went back that time, he adjusted the previous training methods and adopted the training methods of the Han generals, and even integrated and improved them. This also led to the rapid improvement of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Anluo Empire.

However, it was precisely because of this reason that a lot of food and fodder was lost.

After all, powerful military training methods require a large amount of food to support them.

"General, the enemy has a lot of people, and no reinforcements have arrived yet. If they attack again, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for too long."

"Don't worry, reinforcements are coming soon."

Taishi Ci was not very sure in his heart, but now people were in panic, so Taishi Ci could only say this to comfort everyone.

In three days, Surena had commanded the Anluo army and launched several sieges on Taishi Ci.

Although he failed every time, the number of troops under Taishi Ci's command was decreasing rapidly.

Now, the number of people able to fight in his hands is less than seven thousand.

Moreover, this time Surena brought not only a large number of troops, but also two thousand special troops, the Parthian Iron Cavalry. This forced Taishi Ci to give up the idea of ​​a sneak attack. After all, he had no special troops to use.

Even as they were talking, the horn of the Anluo Empire's attack sounded again.

"Everyone return to your positions."

Taishi Ci shouted and immediately came to the city wall. When he saw the siege lineup, he couldn't help but clench the bow and arrow in his hand.

This time, Surena obviously intended to take the city in one go.

There were actually three famous generals who were responsible for the siege.

And these three people were people he had met before.

They are Fabius, Pompey and Trajan.

Taishi Ci drew his bow, aimed at Fabian, and shot directly.

Fabius and the other two were prepared for Taishi Ci's sneak attack. The moment the arrow appeared, Fabius had already drawn his sword to break it.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them let out a strange cry, and the siege officially began.

Taishi Ci also gave up the bow and arrow in his hand, took out his double halberds, and rushed towards the three people who were approaching.

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Anluo Empire has improved dramatically, but the combat effectiveness of this famous general has not improved much.

Even though there were three people on the other side, Taishi Ci could still hold on.

After an incense stick of time, Taishi Ci revealed a flaw and his arm was cut by Feibian.

Taishi Ci retreated quickly, keeping a safe distance.

"You are no match for us. Surrender. Otherwise, there is only one outcome for you and your men, and that is death!"

"Humph, under King Lie's command, there are only generals who died in battle, not generals who surrendered. If you want my life, then come and take it. I want to see how capable you are."

After Taishi Ci finished speaking, he bent his bow and drew his arrow at such a fast speed that no one could react.

By the time Fabian reacted, the arrow was already in front of him.

Fabian's reaction speed as a famous general completely exploded at this moment, and he immediately used the last bit of time to tilt his head.

The arrow pierced Fabian's ear.

"what!"

Fabian let out a scream, covered his ears, and quickly backed away.

They were able to block Taishi Ci's arrows before because of the long distance, but at such a close distance, when Taishi Ci attacked, they had no time to react.

"Work together to entangle him and don't give him a chance to shoot. This is a being no less powerful than the God of Arrows!"

After Pompey shouted, the three of them immediately rushed towards Taishi Ci.

However, Taishi Ci was able to hold on, but his soldiers could hardly hold on.

Although the attackers were not special troops, their numbers were too large, ten times theirs. It was already very difficult for seven thousand people to hold out until now.

Soon, all the city gates on all four sides were lost, and only the gate where Taishi Ci was stationed was still barely holding on, and there were only more than a thousand soldiers guarding the city.

Taishi Ci naturally became anxious when he saw this situation, and his moves gradually became a little messy. Fabian seized the opportunity and stabbed Taishi Ci's thigh with his sword.

Taishi Ci knelt on the ground in pain, then used the double halberds in his hands to support himself and stood up again.

"Since you don't surrender, then follow these men of yours and die together. Don't worry, I will erect a monument for you after you die." Fabian endured the severe pain in his ears and came in front of Taishi Ci. He swung the sword in his hand, ready to chop off Taishi Ci's head.

But Taishi Ci no longer had the strength to resist, and standing up had already used up the last of his strength.

He could die in battle, or die in defeat, but he would never allow himself to lie on the ground and be hacked to death. Even if he had to, he would die standing, and die on the way to a charge.

Just as Taishi Ci closed his eyes and waited for his death, suddenly a crisp sound rang in his ears.

Taishi Ci opened his eyes in confusion and subconsciously touched his neck with his hand, only to find no blood.

Then Taishi Ci saw the three people in front of him, all looking behind them with shocked eyes.

Taishi Ci looked behind him curiously.

"Zilong? Why are you here?"

When Taishi Ci saw Zhao Yun appear, he instantly lost all his strength and was about to fall to the ground, but at this moment, a hand suddenly appeared and supported him.

He turned to look at the owner of the hand.

"My Lord, why did you come here in person?"

The people who came were Gu Rubing and Zhao Yun. When they arrived, they saw that all three city gates had been lost, and Zhao Yun shot out with a silver spear.

The silver spear pierced directly into the city wall.

Then, in front of everyone, Zhao Yun jumped up, stepped on the silver spear, and used the force again to jump onto the city wall.

Zhao Yun climbed up the four-man-high city wall all by himself with only a spear. Not to mention the soldiers, even Gu Rubing was stunned when he saw this scene.

The legendary general is indeed terrifying!
These eight words were the only things in Gu Rubing's mind.

A silver dragon appeared on the city wall, and then Gu Rubing heard someone screaming, and finally the city gate opened.

After Gu Rubing entered the city, all he saw were the corpses of soldiers from the Anluo Empire.

After taking over the city gate, Gu Rubing and Zhao Yun immediately rushed to Taishi Ci's side and blocked the fatal blow for Taishi Ci.

"My Lord, you can let me go now. I am covered in blood."

"My brother's blood is no problem!"

Gu Rubing smiled and didn't care at all.

"Go back and tell your lord that I, Liu Bei, am here. Please come out of the city to see me when you have time."

When the three saw Zhao Yun coming and Gu Rubing also appeared in the city, they immediately realized that there was something wrong with the intelligence. They were not fools and were asked to fight with Zhao Yun. Moreover, Gu Rubing obviously intended to spare their lives, so they would naturally cherish this opportunity.

"King Lie, we will definitely convey your words truthfully."

The three men took their people directly out of the city wall, and the city was once again taken over by Gu Rubing.

After hearing the news, Liu Zhang immediately rushed to the front line. He did not expect that there was such a big problem with the intelligence. If Liu Bei was not dead, then he would be in big trouble.

However, Liu Bei has already invited me, and if I don’t show up, then there will be nothing to talk about this matter.

In desperation, Liu Zhang appeared outside the city early the next morning.

"Hey, King Yi, you're making such a big scene, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing Liu Zhang arrive at the city, Gu Rubing stood on the city wall and asked with a sneer.

"King Lie, are you okay? I thought..."

Before Liu Zhang could finish his words, he saw Gu Rubing walking down the city wall.

The city gate opened and Gu Rubing walked out slowly under the protection of Zhao Yun.

When Liu Zhang saw Zhao Yun appear, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. When he first heard the three people say that Zhao Yun was there, he didn't believe it. After all, he was a legendary general, and it was somewhat of a waste to have him on such a battlefield.

But now seeing that Zhao Yun was following behind Gu Rubing, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to retreat.

Who would be willing to fight a legendary general?
"Why is King Yi training his troops? But aren't your methods of training troops a bit too extreme?"

Liu Zhang's face flushed red, he lowered his head, and looked at Gu Rubing with some shame. He didn't understand what Gu Rubing meant. Was he trying to find a way out or was he mocking him?
"King Yi, do you want to give me an explanation?"

Seeing that Liu Zhang didn't say anything, Gu Rubing asked again.

Liu Zhang didn't know what to say at this time. Now that the facts were before him, no matter what he said, it would be in vain.

Gu Rubing was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

Finally, Liu Zhang couldn't stand the pressure anymore and chose to speak.

"King Lie, I'm so sorry. I received the news that you were gone, so I was worried that the Han Dynasty would be in chaos, so I came here to help Your Majesty quell the rebellion."

"Help His Majesty? Haha."

"Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang, I never thought you would come up with such a poor excuse."

After Gu Rubing finished speaking, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Okay, Liu Zhang, you have already done some things, so I can't just pretend that you didn't do anything. Otherwise, how can I explain to the dead soldiers?"

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I remember you had a grain deal with Cao Cao, right? The original agreement was that I would intercept them. Now, I want to ask that after I intercept them, I can only give you half, and the remaining half will be used as a condolence payment for my dead soldiers."

"Half? Your Highness, our food and fodder are also insufficient. We..."

"I don't want to talk about this anymore. Let's just say it's settled. Otherwise, let Zhao Yun talk to you?"

"no need."

Although Liu Zhang was unwilling, he finally endured it when he looked at Zhao Yun in front of him.

"Since it's not necessary, King Yi, please go back. Although you have come from quite a distance, I still have things to do, so I won't treat you to a meal."

"it is good."

Liu Zhang almost uttered this word through his teeth.

Watching Liu Zhang and his army slowly retreating, Zhao Yun came to Gu Rubing's side.

"My lord, it looks like Liu Zhang will attack us sooner or later. Why don't we take action now and destroy them to avoid any trouble for us in the future?"

What Zhao Yun could see, Gu Rubing could naturally see as well.

But he really can't sustain fighting on three fronts at the moment.

"Leave him alive for now, we still have our own things to do."

After Liu Zhang left, Taishi Ci, with the help of his men, came to Gu Rubing.

"My lord, I am incompetent and almost lost the city!"

"Ziyi, you've worked hard. I didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of the Anluo army would increase so much. I miscalculated this time. Don't worry, I will send reinforcements to your side as soon as I return."

"Thank you, my lord!"

Gu Rubing handed over all the affairs here to Taishi Ci, and even left the 10,000 soldiers and horses he brought with him to Taishi Ci.

On the way, Zhao Yun kept looking around carefully.

"Zilong, don't be so nervous."

"My Lord, what happened last time will never happen again."
