Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.
Chapter 683: Burning King Yi’s Palace!
However, just as they were about to take action.
A feather arrow fell directly in front of Xu Chu and Dian Wei.
The two immediately looked in the direction where the arrow came from.
They are legendary generals, the top existences in the world. Even among the legendary generals, they are the strongest group. Who dares to interfere in their fight?
After seeing who the other person was, both of them fell silent.
The person who came was none other than the Archery God Huang Zhong.
"Yunchang, the Prime Minister has instructed us to withdraw as soon as the mission is completed and not to stay."
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu turned around and rushed in the direction of Gu Rubing.
"I'm so sorry to interrupt your wedding. To express my apology, the Prime Minister asked me to liven up the wedding for you."
Huang Zhong simply pulled out an arrow and shot it at the brazier beside him.
The brazier fell to the ground, igniting the red silk cloth placed around it. The entire Prince Yi's Mansion was instantly engulfed in flames.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei had no time to care about Huang Zhong on the eaves. They immediately rushed to Cao Cao and led him away from the sea of fire.
"Liu Bei, you bastard, just wait for me, I, Cao Cao, will fight you to the death."
Cao Cao sat on the ground nearby, waiting for Gu Rubing to disappear with a dark face, and kept patting his thigh.
Gu Rubing and Cao Hua could not run fast, so Zhao Yun could only protect them from the side.
Seeing that Miao Moqing and Meng Huo were about to catch up, Gu Rubing didn't care about etiquette and directly picked Cao Hua up, which made them go a little faster.
But this speed is still much slower than that of legendary generals.
In a blink of an eye, they were caught up.
Zhao Yun held a silver spear, protected Gu Rubing behind him, and looked at the two people in front of him vigilantly.
Soon the three of them started fighting.
Since they were inside the city and there were many civilians around, the three men were unable to use their full strength and could only rely on their physical strength and skills as legendary generals.
This also gave Gu Rubing an opportunity.
Seeing Gu Rubing rushing into the crowd, Meng Huo suddenly became anxious and couldn't help but want to use the power of the legendary general.
Just then, Guan Yu's voice came.
"Don't hurt my brother!"
Hearing this voice, Meng Huo knew that the two of them could never be a match for Guan Yu and Zhao Yun combined. With no other choice, he could only take Miao Moqing away.
"Zilong, where's my brother?"
"I'm here."
Gu Rubing and Cao Hua walked out of the crowd.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"It's okay, let's go quickly, we can't get out if the city gates are closed."
However, when they arrived at the city gate, they saw a group of soldiers slowly closing the gate. Because the distance was too far, even Guan Yu could not make it in time.
Just as they were thinking about how to leave after the city gate was closed, a flash of light appeared.
The light exploded directly at the city gate, killing all the soldiers responsible for closing the gate.
"Lord, leave quickly."
Huang Zhong's voice came from a distance.
Gu Rubing no longer hesitated and rushed out of the city gate with everyone.
The roving crossbow captains had already prepared their horses outside the city, and they mounted their horses and rushed towards the front camp.
After Meng Huo and Miao Moqing returned to Prince Yi's Palace, they looked at the Palace surrounded by flames. They thought Liu Zhang had been burned to death and felt a little disappointed. They even considered whether they should take advantage of the chaos and leave.
"You are back."
Just then, Liu Zhang's voice appeared behind them.
When they turned around and saw Liu Zhang, Miao Moqing laughed out loud, and Meng Huo also tried to hold back his laughter.
At this time, Liu Zhang's face was covered in black, his hair was messy, and his clothes had several holes burned in them.
"What are you laughing at? Where's Liu Bei? Where's Cao Hua?"
"My lord, we didn't catch up. Zhao Yun was trying to stop us, and Guan Yu was also trying to stop us."
"waste!"
Liu Zhang couldn't help but curse, then looked towards the flames in King Yi's Palace.
In fact, Liu Zhang had already known that it was impossible for Meng Huo and Miao Moqing to get the person back.
But Liu Zhang was very upset that his banquet was turned into a funeral by Gu Rubing, and he always had to find an outlet to vent his anger.
Cao Cao walked to Liu Zhang's side and looked at the furious Liu Zhang. Cao Cao felt helpless about this.
No one expected that Gu Rubing would be so shameless as to dare to snatch the bride in front of so many people.
If I had known this would happen, I would have brought more people with me.
"Okay, don't get too excited. Let's not talk about my daughter for now. I will definitely give you the food and fodder I promised you. Although the wedding cannot be held, the 800,000 grain and fodder will all be yours. Liu Bei can't be so shameless as to ask for more food and fodder, right?"
Upon hearing that there was still food and fodder, Liu Zhang nodded hurriedly.
Liu Zhang himself didn’t care much whether Cao Hua was there or not. What he cared about most was Cao Cao’s food and grass.
Gu Rubing led everyone on a frantic journey for a whole day, and finally arrived at the front-line camp late at night.
Zhuge Liang and his men had been waiting here for a long time.
"My lord, you are back."
"Prime Minister, this is Cao Cao's daughter, Cao Hua. Find a clean tent for her to stay in. Arrange for her to meet Sun Shangxiang tomorrow morning."
"Yes, my lord!"
After sending Cao Hua back, Gu Rubing and Zhuge Liang returned to the general's tent.
Zhuge Liang dismissed everyone.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhuge Liang finally exploded.
"My Lord, how could you run away secretly? Why are you joining in the fun at Liu Zhang's wedding? You know that 300,000 people on the front line are waiting for your news. You can't act so recklessly."
"Prime Minister, I am not here to join in the fun. I just received news that Liu Zhang and Cao Cao are going to trade one million grains. If I don't go and join in the fun, how can I get a share? It was originally agreed that I would get 350,000, but now because you asked me to rob Cao Hua, we may not get a share of the grain."
"You still blame me?"
Zhuge Liang was so angry that he glared at Gu Rubing.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay, but at least I brought back information, the latest map of Yulin County, the troop ratio, and the current situation of the people in Yulin County. Aren't these all useful?"
"That's no use to a lord either."
Zhuge Liang gave Gu Rubing an unpleasant look and sat down on a chair beside him.
"My Lord, the information you brought back is indeed useful, but you must not take risks in the future."
When the people outside the tent heard that the noise from inside had died down, they felt that the prime minister must have calmed down.
They pushed each other and walked into the tent.
"Is something wrong?"
Zhuge Liang glanced at everyone unhappily.
"My Lord, Cao Cao's messenger has arrived and wants us to hand over the person."
"People? What people? Send someone to tell Cao Cao's envoy that I didn't see anyone." "Yes!"
"Prime Minister, why did you ask me to rob the bride?"
"My lord, they can form an alliance in any way, but not through marriage. There are benefits in any alliance, but with this marriage, they will not only have benefits, but may also have other emotions. At that time, their alliance will be more solid, at least on the surface."
"Okay, but it's a pity to waste the food."
Gu Rubing nodded helplessly, but when he thought of the 350,000 tons of food and fodder, he still felt a little regretful.
"My Lord, don't worry. Since they don't want to give it to us, then we can just rob them. Aren't we the best at this?"
Gu Rubing burst out laughing after hearing this.
The news of Liu Bei's marriage robbery spread throughout the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty. Everyone was laughing at Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's reputation dropped a lot for a while.
However, Cao Cao did not care. He had already organized the first wave of food and began to send it to Liu Zhang's warehouse.
Gu Rubing naturally also received the news.
However, what Gu Rubing did not expect was that, in order to ensure the safety of the grain and grass, Cao Cao actually sent Le Jin and Li Dian, two quasi-famous generals, to personally escort the grain and grass, and even the legendary general Cao Zhang, to escort them in secret. This time, Cao Cao was determined not to let Gu Rubing take any share.
Gu Rubing told Zhuge Liang the news.
However, Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry at all.
"My lord, don't worry. These 800,000 grains are not a small amount. It is impossible for them to transport them all at once. This first wave of grain transportation is just a test to see if we will take action. We will let their first few grain transport teams go first to let them rest assured. When they are completely relaxed, that's when we will take action."
Gu Rubing nodded. He knew that he was of no use here at the moment, so he simply took Zhao Yun away from the front camp and came to Yongji County, Yulin County.
This is their rear, Sun Shangxiang and Cao Hua are here.
After returning to Prince Lie's Mansion, Gu Rubing saw that Sun Shangxiang and Cao Hua seemed to be talking about something, and Cao Hua's face was slightly red, as if she was shy.
Sun Shangxiang seemed to feel Gu Rubing's gaze. She immediately looked up and stepped forward when she saw Gu Rubing coming back.
"Husband, you are back."
"Well, there is no war ahead, so I came back to take a look."
After saying this, Gu Rubing looked at Cao Hua.
In fact, the reason he came back this time was not only because there was no war at the front, but also because he wanted to confuse Cao Cao. The news of his leaving the front line would soon reach Cao Cao. Knowing that Gu Rubing had left, Cao Cao would be more assured about the grain route. Another point was that Gu Rubing wanted to know whether Cao Hua wanted to return to Cao Cao.
"Sister Cao, my husband is back, come and see him."
Upon hearing this, Cao Hua's face instantly turned red like a ripe apple.
"Meet King Lie."
"No need to perform formalities. There aren't that many rules in the mansion."
"Look, my husband, Sister Cao is shy."
Upon hearing this, Cao Hua glared at Sun Shangxiang.
"Miss Cao, you can move freely in the mansion. If you go out, it's best to bring some people with you. If you need anything, tell Shangxiang and she will help you."
"Thank you, King Lie, for your care."
After saying that, Cao Hua turned and left.
Seeing this, Sun Shangxiang smiled and nodded, as if she had made some decision in her heart.
"Nearby, do you like Sister Cao?"
"Ok?"
Gu Rubing looked at Sun Shangxiang in surprise.
"If you like it, go tell Sister Cao. Sister Cao and I have a very good relationship."
"You're talking nonsense again!"
Gu Rubing carried Sun Shangxiang directly back to the room.
Soon some special sounds were heard from inside.
Silent all night.
The next morning, Sun Shangxiang walked out of the room and went straight to the door of Cao Hua's room.
"Sister Cao, are you there?"
Soon, Cao Hua opened the door of the room.
"Sister Cao, do you like your husband?"
When Cao Hua heard this, his face turned red instantly. He lowered his head and played with the corner of his clothes without saying a word.
Sun Shangxiang knew this situation all too well.
"My husband is going to take us to the suburbs for a trip. Sister Cao, would you like to come with us?"
"That's...ok."
After Gu Rubing packed up simply, he took Zhao Yun and a group of guards and went straight out of Yongji County and came to the suburbs.
Sun Shangxiang went to the side and played in the water, leaving space for Cao Hua and Gu Rubing.
"Miss Cao, when do you plan to return to Yizhou?"
Hearing this, Cao Hua's face changed and he looked at Gu Rubing.
"Does King Lie intend to send me back?"
"No, I just wanted to ask you."
"I don't want to go back, I..."
Just as Cao Hua was about to say something, he suddenly heard Sun Shangxiang's scream.
Everyone quickly ran towards Sun Shangxiang's location.
Gu Rubing saw that there were countless corpses lying in front of Sun Shangxiang. They all looked like ordinary people, but they were all wearing tattered clothes and looked like refugees.
Just when Gu Rubing was about to go over to see what was going on, he was stopped by Zhao Yun.
"My Lord, the cause of death of these people is unknown. You should not go. I will go and take a look."
Gu Rubing nodded.
Zhao Yun walked to the center of the corpses and examined them carefully.
"My lord, something is not right. We may need to ask Mr. Hua Tuo to come over. These corpses have no external injuries, and there are rotten areas on their faces and bodies. If I am not mistaken, this may be a plague."
"plague?"
Gu Rubing looked at the place where the bodies fell. It was where the stream flowed. Many people downstream would drink the water here.
According to this statement, wouldn’t the people downstream be doomed as well?
Gu Rubing immediately called the guards to pick up Hua Tuo, and at the same time walked forward along the water flow.
It didn't take long for Gu Rubing to find a small village.
It turned out that there was no one in the village in broad daylight, but there were many farm tools on the ground.
I randomly found a thatched hut and walked in. I saw the bodies of a family of three lying on the ground. These bodies looked the same as those in the stream.
"My lord, please leave here quickly. This must really be a plague."
Gu Rubing immediately covered his nose and left quickly.
Zhao Yun is a legendary general, so he is naturally not afraid of these things, but I am afraid of them.
When Gu Rubing and the others came back, they saw Hua Tuo had arrived and was examining the corpses.
After a long time, Hua Tuo stood up.
"King Lie, these people did die of the plague, but there is one thing you need to be prepared for." (End of this chapter)
