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

Zhong Hui was still recuperating in bed. When he heard the noisy sound of footsteps outside, he immediately became dissatisfied.

Don’t these people know that I’m a patient?
"Somebody come!"

Zhong Hui immediately started shouting with some anger.

However, after a long time, only one butler came in.

"Master, what do you want?"

"Why is it you? Where are my guards? Aren't they standing guard at the door? Do they want to die by leaving their post?"

"Master, General Cao has transferred all the guards in the mansion away, saying that he wants to borrow them. Now there are only this old slave and a few servants in the mansion."

When Zhong Hui heard this, he felt a little disappointed when he thought of Gu Rubing's words.

Even Cao Ren, who has always been on good terms with him, is like this now. How will Cao Cao treat him?
Cao Cao was suspicious by nature. Wouldn't he just kill himself?
The more Zhong Hui thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he immediately ordered someone to call Cao Ren.

Cao Ren came in front of Zhong Hui.

"Shiji, you're looking for me?"

"General, why were my men transferred away?"

Hearing this, Cao Ren hesitated for a moment and stared at Zhong Hui's injuries.

"Shi Ji, let me ask you, was your injury really caused by Liu Bei and his men?"

Zhong Hui was about to nod, but after seeing Cao Ren's determined eyes, Zhong Hui sighed, and then told Cao Ren everything.

However, once people have doubts, no matter what you say, they will doubt you.

Even Cao Ren is no exception.

Zhong Hui told Cao Ren everything. He thought Cao Ren would admit his mistake to him, but unexpectedly, Cao Ren did not react at all and continued to look at him coldly.

"Shiji, I believe what you said, but you should take good care of your injuries. After you recover, we will still defend the city together."

After saying this, Cao Ren turned around and left without even looking back.

Looking at Cao Ren's back, Zhong Hui felt a chill in his heart.

At this time, Gu Rubing only brought two thousand people and attacked the city again.

However, this time, Gu Rubing stood not far from Jianmen Pass and shouted, "I am King Lie. Tell your Lord Zhong Hui to come out and tell him that I am here."

The soldiers guarding the city conveyed these words to Cao Ren.

When Cao Ren heard this, his face suddenly changed and he immediately rushed to the city wall.

"Liu Bei, what did you say?"

When Gu Rubing saw Cao Ren coming, he turned around and left with two thousand men without saying a word.

When Cao Ren saw this scene, even a fool could understand what had happened.

He came to Zhong Hui angrily.

"Shi Ji, what exactly did you conspire with Liu Bei?"

Zhong Hui looked at Cao Ren with confusion.

"Liu Bei just came to attack the city with only 2,000 men, and he kept shouting your name, as if he could enter the city with your name."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Hui's face changed and he wanted to explain something, but Cao Ren was too lazy to listen.

"Okay, you just stay here. You don't have to worry about anything outside the city from now on."

After saying this, Cao Ren turned and left.

Zhong Hui knew that Cao Ren had fallen into a trap, or rather, he himself had fallen into a trap as well. It was originally a very simple matter, but because of Gu Rubing's words, he ended up making things worse. This is a case of being too clever for one's own good.

Zhong Hui even suspected that it wouldn't be long before Cao Cao arrived here and killed him.

When he thought that he had made so many contributions but had not received much reward, and now he might even die because of a small problem, Zhong Hui was unwilling to accept that his talent would be completely buried with him.

After thinking for a long time, Zhong Hui made a decision.

Since everyone thinks that I am a traitor and have surrendered to Liu Bei, then I might as well just surrender and become Liu Bei's man. What's the problem?

Thinking of this, Zhong Hui immediately walked out of the room.

At this time, several soldiers dressed as Zhong Hui's personal guards came to Zhong Hui.

"General, are you okay?"

Zhong Hui looked at the other person's clothes and realized that he was a personal guard, so he stepped forward immediately.

"General, we heard that you were in a bad condition. The brothers selected a few people to come and see you. How are you now?"

"I'm fine. How many of us are there?"

"There are still two hundred people. What are you doing, General?"

Hearing this, Zhong Hui hesitated for a moment, then looked at his guards.

"I want to join King Lie's camp, open the city gate and give up Jianmen Pass. Will you help me?"

"I swear to defend the general till death."

Hearing this, Zhong Hui patted their shoulders excitedly.

"Gather everyone together, and let's make a plan. Remember to disguise yourself as ordinary people and meet me."

"Yes!"

However, what Zhong Hui didn't know was that these people were all Gu Rubing's spies.

Soon, Gu Rubing received their letter. When he saw that Zhong Hui was about to join him, Gu Rubing excitedly slammed the table.

This scared Deng Ai who was standing by.

"Lord, what are you doing?"

"It's okay. Notify the army and get ready. We are going to take Jianmen Pass this time."

"Ah? Yes!"

Deng Ai immediately guessed it was Zhong Hui.

Two days later, Zhong Hui informed his personal guards of his plan, and also asked his personal guards to secretly leave the city to discuss the action plan with Gu Rubing. Little did he know that Gu Rubing already knew his plan well.

late at night.

Gu Rubing led 20,000 people and quietly ambushed around Jianmen Pass.

But because there are valleys on both sides of Jianmen Pass, the ambush site is relatively far away.

At this time, Zhong Hui took two hundred personal guards and went up to the city wall in the name of patrol.

Although Cao Ren said that all of Zhong Hui's rights were deprived, he did not explicitly mention that Zhong Hui had defected to the enemy. No one understood why Cao Ren gave such an order, and they were used to Zhong Hui bringing people to inspect the city defenses.

"The general is here."

When several soldiers who were on guard saw Zhong Hui coming, they immediately stopped and looked at him.

"Well, brace yourself and don't let the enemy attack you by surprise."

"Yes!"

Zhong Hui looked at these people with a sneer on his face. He was sure that once he left, there would not even be many people left standing guard.

After walking around, I got a clear understanding of the situation on the city wall.

Zhong Hui immediately came to the city gate and quietly opened it.

However, when the heavy gate was opened, there was a loud noise, which directly alarmed the soldiers guarding the city. "General, what are you doing..."

"I'm going to go out of town for a tour, don't worry."

Although these soldiers felt that Zhong Hui was a little strange today, no one thought much about it. However, a centurion was slightly thoughtful and then sent one of his men to find Cao Ren.

When Zhong saw that the time was almost up, he immediately nodded to the guard beside him.

Soon a flare arrow was shot out.

Before the soldiers on the city wall could react to what was happening, they saw Gu Rubing, Deng Ai and others leading a large army rushing towards them.

They wanted to close the city gate, but the gate was blocked by Zhong Hui's personal guards.

"General, please get out of the way. The enemy is coming."

However, just as they finished speaking, they saw that the two hundred people had white cloth strips tied around their arms.

"This……"

"kill!"

Following Zhong Hui's order, the personal guards took the lead, drawing their swords and killing the soldiers closest to them.

By the time others reacted, it was too late.

Deng Ai led his army directly to the city gate.

When Cao Ren received the news, he rushed over and saw that Deng Ai, Wei Yan and others had already rushed into the city.

Jianmen Pass was lost from his hands again.

The 60,000 people in the city are all from the Western Legion. Although they have acquired some combat effectiveness after this period of training, there is still a big gap compared with the real Lie Army.

Cao Ren knew that once the two sides went to war, his men would definitely not be their opponents.

Thinking of this, Cao Ren left and ordered a retreat, and everyone rushed to Annan.

As Cao Ren gave the order, everyone quickly left Jianmen Pass.

Gu Rubing easily captured Jianmen Pass again.

However, compared to regaining Jianmen Pass, what made Gu Rubing happier was the person kneeling on the ground in front of him.

"I am Zhong Hui, your honor to meet you, my lord."

Gu Rubing excitedly opened the control panel.

Seeing these attributes, Gu Rubing had only one reaction: Is this guy going to rebel against me?
But even so, Gu Rubing didn't want to give up on such a great talent as Zhong Hui. Don't you want an official position? I'll give you an official position, but I want to see if you still want to rebel.

"Zhong Hui, Deng Ai, you two helped me to break through Jianmen Pass and killed countless enemies. I hereby appoint Zhong Hui as General Pingxi and Deng Ai as General Pingnan."

"Thank you, my lord!"

Zhong Hui had never thought that he would be given the position of General Pingxi just after he arrived. How many levels had he risen in succession? He couldn't even count it. If he had received such treatment from Cao Cao, he would not have left like this.

Deng Ai didn't care. As long as he could stay with Gu Rubing, he didn't mind being a commoner.

Soon, Gu Rubing led everyone to reinforce Jianmen Pass.

In order to show off, Zhong Hui immediately came to Gu Rubing's side.

"My lord, we must take down the Yinping trail, otherwise, Jianmen Pass will be lost."

"What's Shiji's plan?"

"My lord, we can send a group of soldiers to enter the Yinping trail, pretending to be Wei army deserters, so that Jiang Wei can recruit them, and then we can work together to defeat the enemy from inside and outside."

Gu Rubing's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Yes, they have broken through Jianmen Pass, and it won’t be long before Jiang Wei will know about it. It is normal for deserters to pass by at this time.

Just as Gu Rubing was about to follow the method provided by Zhong Hui, a soldier immediately came to Gu Rubing and said that Zhuge Liang had arrived.

Soon Zhuge Liang walked in.

"Liang wishes His Majesty the best of luck in taking over Jianmen Pass!"

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he bowed and looked at Zhong Hui who was standing next to Gu Rubing. His eyes gleamed as he looked Zhong Hui's whole body over.

Zhuge Liang had also heard something about Zhong Hui.

"Where did this villain come from? Come, capture this man!"

Soon several soldiers came in and arrested Zhong Hui without any explanation.

"Wait a moment."

Gu Rubing immediately ordered the soldiers to stop and then walked to Zhuge Liang's side.

"Prime Minister, what are you doing? Zhong Hui is a surrendered general. He is supposed to be a role model for Cao Cao's men."

"My lord, this person cannot be used. He has a rebellious mind."

"Anti-bone?"

Gu Rubing thought of Zhuge Liang's evaluation of Wei Yan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and laughed helplessly.

"Shiji, you go back first."

"It's my lord!"

Before leaving, Zhong Hui looked towards Zhuge Liang, with a fierce look in his eyes.

He always tried to get rid of people who threatened his position as soon as possible. This was especially true for someone like Zhuge Liang, who was the closest person to Gu Rubing. Otherwise, who knew when Gu Rubing would listen to Zhuge Liang and kill him.

After Zhong Hui left, Gu Rubing sat on the chair with a smile.

"Prime Minister, what are you doing? I know Zhong Hui covets power, but I am the most powerful person in the world. Who else can he turn to besides me? Only I can give him everything he wants. Besides, Zhong Hui is also a man of great talent. It would be a pity to kill him like this."

Seeing that Gu Rubing had a heart to cherish talent, Zhuge Liang sighed. He knew that it was impossible to get rid of Zhong Hui now. Since he couldn't get rid of him openly, he would use some tricks. Anyway, Zhong Hui couldn't be kept. (End of this chapter)
