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

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao laughed out loud.

"King Lie is such a joker. How could we be afraid? I called you here this time just to discuss the truce with you. I have no ill intentions. I just wanted to come and say hello to the five generals around you."

However, none of the five people looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao had known about this situation for a long time, so he was not embarrassed about it and turned around and walked towards the city.

Soon, everyone entered the city.

Gu Rubing saw that although Liu Zhang had occupied the entire Yulin County and Jiaozhi County, he still had too many people under his control. The city was now crowded with people and the farmland seemed to have been occupied by houses. Over time, Liu Zhang's food and fodder would definitely be a problem.

Gu Rubing also found this a little funny. He didn't understand why he needed so many people when he only had two county towns?

Once the population and territory are not proportional, it will inevitably cause some chaos. Liu Zhang is currently able to do so because of Surena's mediation. If it weren't for Surena, I'm afraid Liu Zhang's rule would have been overthrown long ago.

Soon, everyone entered King Yi's palace.

After the three of them sat down, Cao Cao looked at the five people behind Gu Rubing and suddenly felt some pressure.

"King Lie, we are in a meeting now. How about you ask the people behind you to get off?"

Gu Rubing saw that neither Liu Zhang nor Cao Cao had any legendary generals following them, so he simply didn't nod.

The five people walked out of the room, but did not go far. Instead, they stood at the door.

Cao Cao cleared his throat and looked at Gu Rubing.

"King Lie, the situation in the Central Plains is chaotic right now. The Han Dynasty is at war everywhere, and the people are living in poverty. All sides are short of food and grass. I feel that a ceasefire at the moment is a good thing for all of us. What do you think?"

After Cao Cao said this, he kept his eyes on Gu Rubing, trying to verify his guess that Gu Rubing's food and grass were already insufficient. He wanted to verify his guess from Gu Rubing's eyes to see if it was correct.

However, when Gu Rubing heard what Cao Cao said, he remained calm as usual, without a trace of fluctuation in his eyes.

This made Cao Cao feel a little disappointed.

"Cease-fire? My eleven counties of Youzhou are still in the hands of Shi Xie, and you tell me to stop? Then tell me, what about my Youzhou? And the four cities of Yulin County, and the three counties of Yizhou, give them all to me, and I will agree to your cease-fire."

"King Lie, this Yulin County originally belonged to me. You took the four cities away from me. Now I am just taking them back."

"King Lie, the same thing happens to the three counties of Yizhou. You clearly stole them all. How can you say they belong to you?"

After listening to what the two said, Gu Rubing stood up directly from his chair.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing to talk about? If there's nothing to talk about, then we don't need to talk. Just go back and continue fighting. When you can't fight anymore, tell me and we'll talk."

After saying that, Gu Rubing turned around and prepared to go outside.

"Wait a minute, King Lie!"

Seeing Gu Rubing was about to leave, Cao Cao and Liu Zhang immediately stopped him.

Gu Rubing had no intention of leaving, but when he heard the two people talking, he immediately sat down again.

"King Lie, Shi Xie of Youzhou couldn't come here because it's too far away, but he also conveyed a message to us, that is, he doesn't want to fight anymore. If I'm not mistaken, King Lie's food and grass are not enough, right? If a war really breaks out, it will not be a good thing for all of us."

There was some threat in Cao Cao's words, and Gu Rubing could hear it.

But what Cao Cao said was right. The food and grass in his hands were a little insufficient and he had no choice but to squander them. Not fighting was currently the best option for him. He had to know that this kind of thing could not be pushed too hard, otherwise it would easily have a counterproductive effect.

Gu Rubing simply pretended not to understand what Cao Cao said and sat back in his chair leisurely.

"Since you don't think about it, why don't we just talk about what compensation you plan to give me."

“No compensation.”

Liu Zhang and Cao Cao immediately shook their heads.

Then the three of them had a big argument over the issue of compensation.

In the evening, the three of them were tired of arguing, so they simply adjourned the meeting and went to have dinner. They would talk about compensation tomorrow.

Late at night, a roving crossbow captain came to Gu Rubing with a letter of intelligence.

This information was that after Gu Rubing left the Anluo Empire, he asked the Captain Younu to carefully collect information about Sun Jian's strength.

When he saw what was inside, Gu Rubing couldn't help but widen his eyes.

In just half a year, Sun Jian had an army of 200,000, not counting the 100,000 soldiers he gave himself, as well as countless gold and silver. At this rate, Sun Jian would only need another year to gather an army of 500,000.

With money, food, soldiers and horses, as well as famous ministers and generals, Sun Jian has now become Gu Rubing's number one enemy.

However, Gu Rubing knew that if he wanted to eliminate Sun Jian's forces, he must first take back Kuaiji County.

According to the investigation of Captain Younu, the tax revenue of Kuaiji County in one month was equal to the tax revenue of Yangzhou in half a year.

It can be said that all the gold and silver in Yangzhou and even Jiaozhou and Jingzhou flowed into Sun Jian's wallet.

These are some of the richest places in the entire Han Dynasty.

This made Gu Rubing a little envious, and he even made up his mind that no matter what, he would get a share of Kuaiji County when he returned this time.

Early the next morning.

Gu Rubing brought five people to Cao Cao and Liu Zhang early in the morning.

"You two, I have an idea. Do you agree?"

"what idea?"

"Let's have our legendary warriors fight each other. If I win, we'll stop fighting and return all my territories before the war. If I lose, we'll stop fighting too, but I don't want anything."

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao and Liu Zhang shook their heads like rattles.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, held by Gu Rubing, these two legendary generals stood out. Fighting alone, no one could be their opponent.

Obviously, the method proposed by Gu Rubing was not fair to them.

"King Lie, let's not talk about this for now. Let me ask you, is my daughter Cao Hua still in your hands? When will you return her to me?"

Hearing this, Gu Rubing opened his mouth and was suddenly speechless.

I robbed someone else's daughter, Liu Zhang's wife. To be honest, I was in the wrong in this matter.

"It seems that King Lie is not going to give the person to me?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing gave a helpless smile.

It’s not that he didn’t want to give it, but Cao Hua obviously didn’t want to go back. Sun Shangxiang had a good relationship with Cao Hua, and he had no way to send Cao Hua back by force.

Seeing that Gu Rubing was silent, Cao Cao said directly: "If King Lie wants to negotiate terms, return my daughter to you. After all, she is King Yi's wife. We can discuss the rest later."

Not only do you want to return the person, but you also want to give him to Liu Zhang? Then why do you want to snatch him away?
It was obvious that Cao Cao was trying to exchange Cao Hua for Gu Rubing. Although this might not sound good, it was very wise.

Everyone knows that once a person or thing is in Gu Rubing's hands, no one can take it away unless he says he doesn't want it. Even if Cao Hua wants to leave, he can't come back.

Cao Cao knew that he had no way to get Cao Hua back, and that following Gu Rubing would not be a disadvantage. Looking at Sun Shangxiang now, one could see Cao Hua's future, which was not a good destination for Cao Hua. Moreover, Cao Cao knew that Cao Hua herself did not want to come back, and that he had broken her heart by letting her marry Liu Zhang. Since she could not come back, and it would be better if she did not come back, he might as well use Cao Hua to shut Gu Rubing up.

And this trick is really useful for Gu Rubing.

Gu Rubing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

After a long time, Gu Rubing sighed. Since he was in the wrong, he could only admit it.

"In this case, I don't need any benefits, but King Wei, I want two people from you. I can exchange them for my territory."

"Who?"

"Jiang Wei, Guo Huai."

It was only after Gu Rubing learned from the roving crossbow captain that Guo Huai was actually in Cao Cao's camp.

Until this news came out, Gu Rubing felt a bit amused and helpless. Almost all the up-and-coming talents had fallen into Cao Cao's hands, so why was it so difficult for him?

"No, unless you give me Yizhou and Liangzhou."

"Fuck, you're asking for too much!"

"Ok!"

Cao Cao's straightforward answer made Gu Rubing almost want to rush up and strike him with a sword, but he finally resisted the urge.

Jiang Wei and Guo Huai are indeed talented, but it is absolutely impossible to exchange them for Liangzhou. That is not just Liangzhou. Liangzhou is the only channel connecting Sun Jian. Once the connection with Sun Jian is cut off, given Sun Jian's personality, he will immediately join the camp that resists him.

In the end, Gu Rubing had no choice but to give up.

Guan Yu and his five men who were guarding outside the door looked at Xu Chu and Dian Wei in front of them with a hint of disdain in their eyes.

This made Dian Wei, who was always arrogant, very unhappy.

In Cao Cao's army, he was second only to the emperor and no one dared to oppose what he said.

But now, in front of these five people, the looks they gave him were filled with some provocation and disdain.

"What are you looking at?"

Dian Wei glared at them unhappily.

"Hey, what's going on? Has the famous General Dian Wei become so rampant now? He can't even let people look at him?"

Zhang Fei mocked Dian Wei carelessly.

If the person speaking was Guan Yu or Zhao Yun, Dian Wei could still tolerate it, but it happened to be Zhang Fei, who was not as good as him.

"Zhang Yide, if you don't agree, how about we have a fight?"

"Come if you want. Am I afraid of you?"

As Zhang Fei spoke, he swung the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand and was about to fight Dian Wei.

Seeing this, Guan Yu immediately stopped Zhang Fei.

"Third brother, this place is too close to the lord. Don't hurt him. Let's find a spacious place."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately stopped Guan Yu.

"Second Brother Guan, we are all gone, so what about the Lord..."

"Don't worry, Zilong. The lord's safety is in the hands of Mengqi."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun could only nod, but looked at the closed door with some concern.

"Don't worry, Zilong. I'm here, and the lord will be fine."

Ma Chao immediately stepped forward and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder.

Meng Huo and Miao Moqing didn't want to go at first, but Huang Zhong and Guan Yu took them away on the grounds that they were unfamiliar with the place.

But they were not worried. After all, they were all legendary generals. They could sense any unusual movement in the room and could ensure that they could reach their respective lords in one breath.

Besides, everyone knew that Gu Rubing had no intention of letting these legendary generals take action, otherwise he would have let them take action the moment they entered the city.

However, the purpose of Gu Rubing bringing the five of them here was to cause a big commotion. Although there were no clear instructions, they all understood what Gu Rubing wanted them to do.

Soon, Meng Huo brought everyone to the martial arts field and drove away all the soldiers inside.

There were only eight of them in the huge martial arts arena.

Dian Wei walked to the middle position, looked at Zhang Fei in the distance, and waved at him.

"Zhang Yide, don't you want to fight me? Come on, let me see how capable you are."

Zhang Fei snorted coldly, but his body did not move at all.

Every time a large army fights, the legendary generals of both sides will call out the other side's legendary generals to entangle the opponent in order to ensure that the other side does not take the field and pose a threat to their own army.

Therefore, it’s not that Zhang Fei hasn’t fought with Dian Wei before, but he never won every time.

Zhang Fei was just talking big before, but now that the time has come to take action, Zhang Fei doesn't want to go up anymore.

Just when Zhang Fei was in trouble, Guan Yu stepped forward.

"Let me play with you. Dian Wei, you seem to have never defeated me before. Why don't you use all your strength this time and let me see what your strength is like."

"Okay, then you just keep an eye on it."

"Evil is coming!"

The shadow of E Lai appeared behind Dian Wei, and then his aura continued to grow, and the arms holding the double halberds also seemed to become a lot stronger.

"Martial Saint!"

Guan Yu followed closely behind, and the speed at which his momentum grew was even faster than Dian Wei's.

Moreover, when Dian Wei's momentum stopped, Guan Yu's momentum was still growing, and green light flashed on his Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

Dian Wei looked at Guan Yu and roared, shouting out the fear in his heart. Then he rushed towards Guan Yu with double halberds in his hands.

As a result, as soon as he arrived in front of Guan Yu, a green light came towards Dian Wei.

Dian Wei immediately held his double halberds across his head and blocked Guan Yu's sword attack.

The moment the two weapons collided, sparks flew and a gust of wind pressure spread out instantly.

Fortunately, all those present were legendary generals. If there were ordinary soldiers around, this wind pressure would have sent them to hell.

Dian Wei tried his best to block Guan Yu's sword, then he used all his strength to shake Guan Yu's sword away. Then he used the advantage of the double halberds in his hands, turned his body, came in front of Guan Yu, and stabbed Guan Yu with the double halberds in his hands.

Guan Yu put the blade in front of himself to block Dian Wei's attack, and then smashed the handle of the blade towards Dian Wei. (End of this chapter)
