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

Gu Rubing didn't say a word along the way, and Wei Yan was also tactful and didn't say a word.

After arriving at the camp, Wei Yan knelt directly in front of Gu Rubing.

"My lord, I was careless this time. I violated military regulations. Please punish me."

Gu Rubing snorted coldly upon seeing this, and then immediately gave the order.

"Come here, bring Wei Yan down to me, and fight twenty more battles."

"yes.",

Several soldiers immediately stepped forward and took Wei Yan away.

Zhang He originally wanted to plead for Wei Yan, but when he heard that Gu Rubing's departure was so easy, twenty lashes of the cane, if it were a civil official, might keep him bedridden for several days, but for a military general, it was no problem at all.

Gu Rubing turned and looked at Zhang He standing beside him.

"Send a message to the Prime Minister immediately and have Zhao Yun rush to Liangzhou. I need to go to Sun Jian's place."

"My lord, Cao Cao and Liu Zhang are both eyeing our legendary generals. If we mobilize them at this time, I'm afraid they won't let us do what we want."

"Don't worry, they just want a balance. As long as the legendary generals are not transferred to Youzhou, they won't care. They know we are transferring to Liangzhou to cause trouble for Sun Jian. Not only will they not stop us, they will even encourage us."

Zhang He nodded and immediately went to find the captain of the mobile crossbow corps to pass on the order.

Not long after, Wei Yan came back with his teeth bared. After coming back, he stood aside and did not dare to sit down. It could be seen that the person who beat him with the stick used quite a lot of force.

"My lord, I am back. Twenty battles have been fought."

"Do you remember?"

"Yes, my lord, don't worry. I have learned my lesson and will never send troops out without authorization again."

"Well, twenty strokes of the cane is a bit too easy for you. I'll fine you one year's salary as a warning. I'm going to Liangzhou. You and Zhang He will take charge of Youzhou. Zhang He will lead 30,000 men to guard Yanmen Pass, and you will lead 50,000 men to guard Jizhou. Just don't let Shi Xie expand outwards. Just wait for me to come back."

"Yes!"

After Gu Rubing explained everything, he rushed to Liangzhou.

This time, he must make Sun Jian give him an explanation.

After receiving the order from Gu Rubing, Zhuge Liang guessed that Gu Rubing was going to cause trouble for Sun Jian, and immediately ordered Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong to rush to Liangzhou for reinforcement.

As soon as the two left, Cao Cao and Liu Zhang received the news.

However, when the two found out that Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were actually heading towards Sun Jian's place, they both tacitly kept silent. If they could pull Sun Jian into the battle, that would be what they would most like to see.

At that time, it would be a real battlefield on all four sides. Even with Gu Rubing's strength, he could not withstand fighting on all four sides at the same time.

Gu Rubing quickened his journey and finally arrived in Liangzhou half a month later.

When Taishi Ci learned that Gu Rubing was coming, he immediately went out of the city a hundred miles to meet Gu Rubing, even without many guards around him.

When he saw Gu Rubing, Taishi Ci breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the journey from Youzhou to Liangzhou is not safe, and there are many bandits on the road.

"My lord, Zilong and the old general have already arrived in the city, waiting for you."

"Okay, Ziyi, you've worked hard."

Everyone quickened their pace, and by the time they returned to the city, it was already late at night.

When Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong saw Gu Rubing, they immediately stepped forward.

"I have met my lord."

"Get up. How is it? Are there any spies from Cao Cao and Liu Zhang along the way?"

"Yes, but we followed the Prime Minister's orders and did not take action against those spies. Instead, we asked them to report all our whereabouts to Cao Cao and Liu Zhang."

"Well, the Prime Minister is thoughtful."

Gu Rubing knew that as long as they knew the whereabouts of the two men and determined their targets, Cao Cao and Liu Zhang would definitely not stop them.

What Gu Rubing didn't expect was that Cao Cao and Liu Zhang did not stop him, but told Sun Jian about Gu Rubing's intention to cause trouble for Sun Jian.

When Sun Jian got the news, he hid himself and said he had no intention of seeing Gu Rubing no matter what.

After a brief rest in Liangzhou, Gu Rubing immediately took Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong to Constantinople.

Gu Rubing was not stopped along the way, which made him curious. They were from the Han Dynasty. No matter how you looked at it, they were different from the people of the Anluo Empire. Why were they not checked at all? Did Sun Jian already know that he was here?
Soon, when the three arrived in Constantinople, they saw Zhou Yu and everyone else standing outside the city gate.

"Meet King Lie."

"Zhou Yu? Where's Sun Jian? Why didn't he come?"

"In reply to King Lie, our master is no longer in the city due to some matters, so you can't see him at the moment. But if King Lie is not in a hurry, our master will come back to meet you in a few days."

"No longer in the city? Sun Jian has been idle all day, how could he leave here? And you should have known about my entry into the Anluo Empire a long time ago, right? When did Sun Jian leave? Is he hiding on purpose and doesn't want to see me?"

"King Lie, you misunderstood. I just have something urgent to do. Please go into the city first. We have prepared rooms for the three of you."

Gu Rubing snorted coldly, and slowly entered the city with Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhou Yu and others.

It didn't take long for everyone to arrive outside the post station.

"King Lie, to express our apology, our master will charge all your expenses in Constantinople to our master. Our master will be able to come back to see you in five days at most."

"Okay, I'll wait for him."

With Gu Rubing's consent, Zhou Yu turned around and ran with everyone.

Zhou Yu didn't want to stay with Gu Rubing for too long, otherwise if Gu Rubing asked about Shi Xie, Zhou Yu would have a hard time explaining.

After Zhou Yu left, Zhao Yun just laughed.

"My lord, it's obvious that Sun Jian is hiding from us. Are we just going to wait like this?"

"Of course, this is someone else's place after all, we should not be anxious. Besides, didn't they say that all our expenses here are counted on Sun Jian? They are so easy to talk to, how can we lose their face?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong looked at Gu Rubing at the same time.

This is not something Gu Rubing would say, but when they saw the smile on Gu Rubing's face, they understood that he was obviously trying to teach Sun Jian a lesson.

After a day's rest, Gan Ning came to the post station where Gu Rubing and his friends were resting. As soon as he reached the door, he happened to see Gu Rubing opening the door and coming out.

"King Lie, the Grand Commander asked me to come over and walk around with you guys."

"Oh, it's Xingba. It's just right. We are planning to go shopping there too."

As the voice fell, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong walked out from the rooms on both sides.

When Gan Ning saw Huang Zhong, he snorted coldly. Gan Ning was always angry about Huang Zhong's existence.

However, due to the relationship between Gu Rubing and Zhou Yu, he had no choice but to suppress it.

Under the leadership of Gan Ning, Gu Rubing toured the entire Constantinople and found that the management of Constantinople was almost the same as that of the Han Dynasty. The names of some places were also the same as those of the Han Dynasty. From this, it can be seen that Sun Jian wanted to build the Anlu Empire into a country like the Han Dynasty.

Gu Rubing was more in agreement with Sun Jian's idea.

Be it the Xiongnu or the Xianbei, why have they always been a hidden danger to the Han Dynasty? Even though I sent so many people to kill all the Xiongnu and Xianbei royal courts and all the masters, they were still able to revive and seize Youzhou for a long time.

This is because the two sides have different philosophies. The Huns always felt that they were Huns and were not of the same lineage as the Han Dynasty, and the same was true for the Xianbei.

If everything about the Huns was the same as that of the Han, and their ideas were the same, perhaps the situation would be much better now.

Just like the people of the Anluo Empire, now everything is almost the same as that of the Han Dynasty. Once the people of the Anluo Empire are allowed to join the Han Dynasty, as long as their current situation does not change, perhaps these people will agree.

At least that's what Gu Rubing thought, but Gu Rubing knew clearly that Sun Jian absolutely did not want to join the Han Dynasty and become Gu Rubing's subordinate. Sun Jian's ambition had always been there, but Gu Rubing didn't understand why he had to hide since he had ambition and strength. If Cao Cao had the territory and population of the entire Anluo Empire, he would have raised an army to attack Liangzhou long ago.

Gan Ning took Gu Rubing for a day and then went into a tavern.

After having a good meal and a good drink, the smile on Gu Rubing's face suddenly faded and he looked at Gan Ning.

"Does Xingba know Shi Xie of Youzhou?"

"Shi Xie? He used to be with us, but one night, he ran away with that guy Wang Yue, taking away his property. After that, we didn't know where they went. I think we heard later that they appeared in Youzhou."

Having said that, Gan Ning looked at Gu Rubing, then smiled awkwardly. It was obvious that he was very clear about what Shi Xie had done in Youzhou.

"He really disappeared and ran away secretly. Didn't you send him away? And the food and fodder?"

"I don't know about that. You, King Lie, also know that we are military commanders. How can we possibly know about such political matters?"

Hearing this, Gu Rubing knew that it must be Zhou Yu who taught him to say this. After all, this was not something Gan Ning would say.

Seeing that no matter what he asked, it was useless, Gu Rubing naturally stopped asking any more questions. However, as for Gan Ning and Zhou Yu's perfunctory attitude towards him, Gu Rubing had already thought of how to punish them.

Had a night's rest.

Gan Ning found Gu Rubing again, and today he was the one who accompanied Gu Rubing and the others for a stroll.

Gu Rubing naturally agreed.

But this time, Gu Rubing was not strolling around, but came to the rice shop.

When the boss saw that the person coming was Gan Ning, accompanied by several big men, he immediately walked over with a smile.

Gan Ning was bewildered at this moment. He didn't know why Gu Rubing came here?
Is Liu Bei planning to cook for himself? Is he dissatisfied with the food here? There are so many things to do!

Gan Ning kept complaining in his mind, but the smile on his face never stopped.

"Xingba, let me ask you, did Sun Jian say that all my expenses in Constantinople will be paid by him?"

"Of course, the lord did say this. If you want to buy something, just buy it with confidence."

"Dear guests, what do you need?"

Gu Rubing did not finish his words, but sat on a chair nearby.

"Boss, call all the rice shop owners in your city to come to me."

"what?"

The boss immediately looked at Gu Rubing in confusion.

"Go quickly, don't worry, the money won't be a problem for you."

Although Gan Ning didn't know what Gu Rubing was going to do, he knew that he must not let Gu Rubing be dissatisfied. Otherwise, if he kept looking for Sun Jian, Sun Jian, who was hiding in the dark, would have to show up.

The owner of this rice shop didn't know Gu Rubing, but he knew Gan Ning, so he had to listen to Gan Ning's words.

Soon, under the leadership of the rice shop owner, the owners of dozens of rice shops gathered in front of Gu Rubing.

"Everyone, today I suddenly want to be kind and take out all the food in your warehouse and distribute it to the people in the city. Remember, I will not pay you if I can't deliver it to everyone in the city. As for the money for the food, you can ask your king. Your king said that all my expenses will be charged to him."

These bosses thought they had heard wrongly and stared at Gu Rubing with wide eyes.

"Why, wasn't what I said detailed enough? Just give away all your food and ask the king for the money. It's that simple."

"This……"

Several bosses looked at Gan Ning standing aside.

Gan Ning's face turned green at this time. He did not expect that Gu Rubing would be so ruthless. The grain in the warehouses of these rice shops was not a small amount. If this wave continued, Sun Jian didn't know how much money he would lose.

"King Lie, aren't you going too far? We just said that your expenses are on us, but what this does to the people of the whole city is..."

"That's right, I bought it, and I'm giving it away. Can't I? Could it be that your master is unwilling to take such a small amount of money? If that's the case, you'd better find Sun Jian for me."

"No, King Lie misunderstood. I will let them do it now."

With Gan Ning's signal, these bosses immediately took action. This was a big deal. After completing this order, they would not have to do business for a whole year.

Watching the backs of these bosses leaving, Gu Rubing seemed to have thought of something and immediately shouted, "No discounts allowed. I never ask for discounts when I buy things. I will get angry with anyone who gives a discount."

Upon hearing this, Gan Ning almost fell to the ground.

For a whole day, all the food in the city was distributed by Gu Rubing.

Gan Ning also worked hard for the whole day, but while Gu Rubing and the others had smiles on their faces, Gan Ning had a worried look on his face. After all, this was all their money, and his heart was bleeding because he didn't give away a single bucket of rice.

After a busy day, Gu Rubing lay directly on the bed and smiled triumphantly.

Some are happy and some are sad. (End of chapter)
