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

Not long after, Gan Ning's voice suddenly rang out.

"My Lord, Meng Huo is about to lose. If we don't help him, Meng Huo might die this time!"

Hearing this, Sun Jian's eyes widened. He had never thought that a legendary general would die in battle.

Now their three-party alliance is barely able to tie with Gu Rubing in strength, but if Meng Huo really dies here this time, the balance will be completely broken, and it will be broken by a legendary general, which will be a devastating disaster.

"Go ahead and save Meng Huo."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Ce and Gan Ning attacked at the same time.

"Overlord!"

A phantom of a long spear stabbed directly at Meng Huo.

However, just as the phantom approached Meng Huo, eight golden gates suddenly appeared.

The phantom of the spear collided with the eight golden gates. Not long after, the golden gates were shattered. Meng Huo suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Gu King also appeared in everyone's sight at this time. At this time, the Gu King had wounds all over his body, and even lost one of his legs.

Huang Zhong knew that Sun Ce had made a move, so he immediately took out the Eight Treasures Kirin Bow and prepared to aim at Sun Ce.

However, at this moment, eighteen black shadows blocked Huang Zhong's way.

"Gan Ning?"

Seeing this familiar attack method, Huang Zhong immediately knew who the person was.

At this time, Gan Ning also came to Huang Zhong.

"You are already a legendary general, why are you still fighting with this kind of thing? You Dongwu are really interesting. The weakest legendary generals are all in Dongwu, right?"

Huang Zhong looked at the shadows around him and laughed instantly.

"Is it?"

Gan Ning sneered, and then Huang Zhong saw that the eighteen shadows slowly merged into one, and this shadow gradually turned into a person, another Gan Ning. At the same time, this Gan Ning also possessed the strength of a legendary general.

"This is my ability. How about it? I didn't disappoint you, did I?"

After Gan Ning finished speaking, he swung the ancient ingot knife in his hand and rushed towards Huang Zhong, and the shadow-like Gan Ning also rushed towards Huang Zhong.

Gu Rubing, who was standing far away, did not expect that Gan Ning's ability to become a legendary general was so strong.

This means that Sun Jian now has three legendary generals.

Seeing that Meng Huo was out of danger, Sun Ce and Gan Ning had no intention of continuing the attack. They all stood beside Meng Huo and looked at Pang De and Huang Zhong vigilantly.

"It seems that King Wu is preparing to intervene?"

Gu Rubing looked at Sun Jian, murderous intent already revealed on his face.

"King Lie, I can ignore you doing other things, but I can't let you kill legendary generals."

Sun Jian was extremely determined at this time. After all, this involved the situation of the entire battlefield.

"My lord, although Meng Huo is seriously injured, he is still able to fight. I am afraid we cannot defeat them in a short time, and we only have two of us..."

Gu Rubing waved his hand to stop Pang De from speaking and turned to look at Sun Jian and Liu Zhang.

"My goal has been achieved. I don't need to get involved in the rest. I will remember what you two did today! Especially you, King Wu. I hope you can take care of yourself!"

After saying this, Gu Rubing led everyone and slowly withdrew from the battlefield.

Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was a little worried.

"According to our agreement, we have already taken action. You can only take away one third of the people."

Zhou Yu jumped out immediately and took action. No matter whether he was forced or not, he wanted to keep their interests in his hands.

"Okay! We gave it to you."

Liu Zhang also agreed very readily. He now had only one thought, which was to leave quickly and leave this place of trouble.

When Gu Rubing returned to Liang Province and was preparing to mobilize troops to start the siege of Sun Jian, a letter was delivered to him by the captain of the Younu Army.

This is Zhuge Liang's letter.

Inside was a letter from Zhuge Liang urging Gu Rubing to return quickly after he analyzed the situation on both sides.

Seeing this, Gu Rubing had to give up his plan to eat Sun Jian. Looking at the four people in front of him, he suddenly hesitated.

Now Sun Jian has two legendary generals in his hands. If you want to fight against Sun Jian, you must leave behind two legendary generals, and also leave behind a famous general, which will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the front line.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Rubing finally decided to leave Taishi Ci, Pang De and Huang Zhong behind, and take Wei Yan with him to Yulin County.

When Gu Rubing arrived in Yulin County, Zhuge Liang immediately came out to greet him.

When he saw that there was only Wei Yan behind Gu Rubing, the smile on his face froze instantly.

"My Lord, where are the others?"

"They all stayed in Liangzhou. Gan Ning has become a legendary general. We must keep enough people in Liangzhou, otherwise Liangzhou will be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang sighed. After bringing Gu Rubing to the general's camp, Zhuge Liang handed a battle report to Gu Rubing.

This is a statistics of the current strength of Cao Cao and Liu Zhang in Yulin County.

When Gu Rubing saw that the number of famous generals was as high as fifteen, his face changed.

This statistic does not include Wang Yue's power. Together with Wang Yue's power, there are probably seventeen famous generals.

As for the legendary generals, including the Gu tribe, there are five in Yulin County, but he only has four. But if we compare the strength, he has the advantage in terms of legendary generals.

According to Gu Rubing's calculations, it shouldn't have been like this. In his opinion, if Sun Jian occupied the Anluo Empire, Liu Zhang would definitely try his best to take it back. Who knew that at this time, Gan Ning killed four famous generals in a row and became a legendary general, causing the strength of the three parties to be balanced again. No one could do anything to anyone, and finally the three parties calmed down again and even restored their alliance.

This resulted in Gu Rubing's plan failing, and even the combined strength of the three parties began to grow rapidly.

"Prime Minister, is there any way to crack it now?"

"Have!"

Zhuge Liang nodded.

"any solution?"

"Unite and defeat them one by one!"

"Joined vertically?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing gave a bitter smile. Now, the three princes all regarded him as an enemy, so who could ally with him?
Zhuge Liang also knew Gu Rubing's idea. Since he had brought it up, he naturally had a way to crack it.

"My lord, Liu Zhang and Cao Cao are now completely tied together because of Yulin County, so we can only focus on Sun Jian."

"Sun Jian?"

Gu Rubing looked at Zhuge Liang with confusion.

"My lord, our dispute with Sun Jian is just a dispute over interests. We don't have any deep hatred. Moreover, given Sun Jian's current situation, even with Gan Ning, they are still the weakest among the four great princes. As long as we form an alliance and share some of the benefits with Sun Jian, I think Sun Jian will agree."

There is nothing wrong with the struggle for interests, but everyone knows that cooperating with me is like courting disaster. When Cao Cao and Liu Zhang are destroyed, my next target will definitely be Sun Jian, and there is no way he will cooperate with me.

Gu Rubing kept complaining in his heart. But seeing Zhuge Liang's confident look, Gu Rubing guessed that Zhuge Liang might have something else to say.

"Prime Minister, just tell me directly, what other plans do you have?"

"Haha, the lord is indeed smart. He saw through Liang's thoughts at once."

Gu Rubing simply chose to ignore Zhuge Liang's flattery.

Zhuge Liang said it so vaguely, it was obviously related to himself, otherwise why would he hide it.

"My Lord, given your relationship with Sun Jian, even if you offer him some benefits, I'm afraid he won't trust us, so we need to behave like Cao Cao did back then."

"Same behavior?"

Gu Rubing thought of something and laughed awkwardly.

"Prime Minister, you are not talking about a marriage, are you?"

"My lord is indeed smart!"

……

Gu Rubing hoped that Zhuge Liang would oppose his idea at this time.

Sun Jian had only one daughter, Sun Shangxiang, and the only one who could marry him was Sun Shangxiang.

Gu Rubing wanted to refuse, but he also knew that this was the best solution at the moment.

"Forget it. It seems I have to go to Liangzhou again. I will have to trouble you, Prime Minister, for this."

"My lord, rest assured. With Liang here, we won't have any problems given the current defensive situation."

"it is good!"

Zhuge Liang wrote a letter and gave it to Gu Rubing, asking him to deliver the letter to Sun Jian after arriving in Liangzhou.

Gu Rubing took the letter and left the city under the moonlight, rushing to Liangzhou, with only Deng Ai and two hundred Baiyu Light Cavalry by his side. After all, everyone on the front line had his own position. Although Zhuge Liang wanted Zhao Yun to protect him, Gu Rubing knew that if he withdrew famous or legendary generals to escort him at this time, the danger on the front line would greatly increase.

Under Gu Rubing's insistence, Zhuge Liang reluctantly agreed to go to Liangzhou with a quasi-famous general, Deng Ai.

Deng Ai was very nervous on the way. The battle was so intense, and he was the only one who could fight around Gu Rubing. If someone really ambushed them, he didn't know whether he could protect Gu Rubing with his own strength.

Seeing Deng Ai's nervous look, Gu Rubing smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, we came out quietly, no one will find us."

Deng Ai forced a smile, but his state of vigilance did not diminish at all.

For two days, they traveled day and night, their speed was not slow, and they did not encounter any danger along the way.

As they got closer to Liang Province, Deng Ai's defenses weakened a lot.

At a fork in the road, Gu Rubing stopped where he was.

A pipeline, a path.

"My Lord, the pipeline is safer. We have spies along the way, but it's slower. The lower route is faster, but the side road is more dangerous, and there are no one of ours guarding it. What do you think?"

"Take the path."

"Lord, we..."

"I don't know how long the Prime Minister can hold out on the front line. We must hurry up. Don't worry, there is no danger along the way. We are about to reach Liangzhou. There is no possibility of any danger."

"All right!"

Deng Ai knew that he could not stop Gu Rubing, so he could only nod and agree, and became more vigilant.

After walking on the path for two hours, they found that there was indeed no danger. At their speed, they would be able to enter Liangzhou at dawn. There were two legendary generals guarding the place, and no assassins could be within their sight. Thinking of this, Deng Ai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, a rain of arrows suddenly flew out from the woods nearby.

More than a dozen Baiyu light cavalry were shot dead in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Deng Ai immediately pushed Gu Rubing, who was beside him, off his horse.

After protecting Gu Rubing and hiding him under a tree, he finally had time to observe the surrounding situation.

According to Deng Ai's observation, the person who shot the arrows secretly was not far in front of them.

Before Deng Ai could react, the rain of arrows finally stopped, and then Wang Yue suddenly rushed out with a group of people.

"Wang Yue?"

When Gu Rubing saw Wang Yue appear, his face instantly turned gloomy.

Wang Yue is a famous general, but he only has a quasi-famous general Deng Ai by his side, who is definitely no match for Wang Yue.

"My lord, find a chance to run away quickly. Once we enter Liangzhou, Wang Yue will definitely chase us. We will stop them temporarily."

Deng Ai also knew Wang Yue's strength and was mentally prepared to die. He also didn't know how long he could stop Wang Yue.

"Haha, if I really leave, then I will be the same as Cao Cao at that time. I will not leave. With me in the White Feather Light Cavalry, you still have the will to fight. If I am gone, then you will definitely lose."

After saying that, Gu Rubing walked out from behind the tree.

Deng Ai hurriedly followed after seeing this, and the surrounding White Feather Light Cavalry also hurried to Gu Rubing's side and protected him.

"Liu Bei, I have been waiting for you for a long time. We have been following you since you left Liangzhou. Now I finally have the chance."

"Wang Yue, after so many assassination attempts, don't you see clearly that you can't kill me, and I am the only one who can save the Han!"

"Perhaps, but unfortunately, your Majesty is here, so you can't be here."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing rolled his eyes at him. What he said was really unreasonable.

Wang Yue slowly drew out his sword and walked towards Gu Rubing.

After taking a few steps, Deng Ai drew his knife and stood in front of Wang Yue.

"If you want to hurt my lord, you have to get past me first."

"Huh? You dare to stop me? You're looking for death!"

After Wang Yue finished speaking, his figure turned into a stream of light and appeared behind Deng Ai in the blink of an eye. He turned his hand and stabbed Deng Ai directly in the back with a sword.

When Deng Ai reacted, he found it was too late to resist. He could only turn sideways to avoid the vital parts and use his arms to block.

The sharp sword pierced Deng Ai's arm.

Enduring the pain, Deng Ai swung his sword at Wang Yue.

Wang Yue wanted to draw out his sword to resist, but he didn't expect that he couldn't pull out the sword no matter what. In the end, he had to give up the sword in his hand and avoid Deng Ai's attack.

Only then did Wang Yue see that after his sword pierced Deng Ai's arm, Deng Ai actually used the wound to clamp the sword. This action could indeed temporarily prevent him from drawing the sword, but it would also aggravate Deng Ai's injuries.

"Since you want to die, I will satisfy you."

After saying that, Wang Yue rushed to Deng Ai, grabbed the hilt of the sword, and pulled it out with force.

As the sword left, a stream of blood and some flesh from the wound flew out as well.

The intense pain slowed down Deng Ai's movements. (End of this chapter)
