Dian Wei wanted to dodge, but it was too late. He could only use the double halberds in his hands to withstand the attack.

With this blow, Dian Wei was directly knocked away.

When he fell to the ground, Dian Wei smashed a big hole in the ground.

After climbing out of the pit, Dian Wei brushed off the dust on his body and looked at Guan Yu in front of him. A red light flashed in his eyes, but it only lasted for a short time.

However, Guan Yu's expression changed.

Just now, he suddenly felt a sense of threat from Dian Wei. He had not felt this feeling since he became a legendary general.

It was obvious that Dian Wei had done something just now and almost exploded, but was suppressed by Dian Wei.

"If I don't fight, I lose."

After Dian Wei finished speaking, he went straight back into the crowd.

Guan Yu didn't say anything. The fleeting threat just now made Guan Yu feel bad, but he didn't make it public, not even saying it out loud. Instead, he quietly returned to the crowd.

Zhang Fei and the others didn't feel anything, so they didn't care, but Zhao Yun also caught a hint of threat and stared at Dian Wei.

Could that be Dian Wei’s final trump card?

A hint of doubt flashed through Zhao Yun's mind.

Every legendary general, even the weakest Sun Ce, has a terrifying trump card. When it comes to legendary generals, they have long since transcended the category of human beings. It can even be said that they are gods.

As gods, they all have cards that can destroy the world in their hands. These cards cannot be used easily, otherwise it will bring serious consequences. Even the weakest god, Sun Ce, is the same.

However, this ability does not exist in the data, but in the way their skills operate. Therefore, even Gu Rubing and others who have the control panel have no way to fully detect it.

Zhao Yun walked into the crowd and looked at Xu Chu, Meng Huo and Miao Moqing.

"Are you three going to come together, or one by one?"

"Zhao Yun, you are too arrogant. Let me meet you."

After Xu Chu finished speaking, he rushed out with a knife in hand.

As Xu Chu chopped down with all his strength, Zhao Yun swung the silver spear in his hand, and drew a circle on the spot with Xu Chu's sword, directly removing Xu Chu's strength, and then stabbed Xu Chu's arm with the tip of the spear.

Xu Chu was also careless. He was overwhelmed by Zhao Yun's provocation and only wanted to teach Zhao Yun a lesson. He directly used all his strength to attack him. He thought Zhao Yun would dodge, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yun would use this method to reduce his strength.

Seeing Zhao Yun's silver spear getting closer and closer to his arm, Xu Chu was ready to have his arm pierced by Zhao Yun.

at this time.

The ground trembled.

All Zhao Yun could do was retract the silver spear, then quickly retreat and steady his body.

A huge Gu ancestor walked out from behind Xu Chu.

"Since you guys have been fighting for so long, I'll come over and tangle with you for a bit."

Meng Huo brought Gu Zu to Xu Chu.

"Zhao Yun, don't you want us to fight together? Then I will fulfill your wish."

Zhao Yun was not angry at all about the sudden appearance of Meng Huo, but rather a little excited.

The more legendary generals he has on the field, the stronger his combat power will be.

Looking at the three people fighting back and forth in the center of the field, Miao Moqing hesitated for a moment, and another Gu mother also crawled out from the ground.

Seeing Zhao Yun fighting one against three, Huang Zhong on the side couldn't help it. He drew his bow and arrow, ready to attack.

But he was stopped by Guan Yu who was standing by.

Now is a good opportunity for Zhao Yun to establish his prestige. If Zhao Yun can pull it off this time, then his position among the legendary generals will be secure.

Guan Yu, who had always been proud of himself, felt that as long as he was there, other legendary generals were nothing but clouds and could not withstand a single blow.

But the fatal threat he felt from Dian Wei just now forced Guan Yu to put aside his contempt. He knew that in the current situation, he alone would not be able to control the situation, and he would need more people.

And Zhao Yun was the person chosen and trained by Guan Yu.

He was powerful, loyal to Gu Rubing, and valued friendship and loyalty, which completely met Guan Yu's requirements.

Therefore, Guan Yu was eager to make Zhao Yun establish his prestige among the ranks of legendary generals, at least to be as powerful as himself. Once he made a move, all the legendary generals would not dare to compete with him.

As the battle continued, Xu Chu discovered that no matter how the three of them struggled with Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun seemed to have endless energy. The angle of each shot was very tricky, and the force of each shot was so heavy that even if he tried his best, he still had difficulty.

Finally, Xu Chu roared, knocked away the silver spear swung by Zhao Yun, increased his speed to the extreme, and slashed at Zhao Yun with the long sword in his hand.

Zhao Yun sneered when he saw this and shook the silver spear in his hand.

Three spear flowers appeared and stabbed Xu Chu in three places, using attack as defense, forcing Xu Chu to stop attacking and start defending.

Gu Rubing and the other two discussed for a long time in the room, but in the end he did not get a satisfactory result.

Cao Cao finally found an opportunity and took back one and a half counties. No matter what Gu Rubing said, he refused to back down. Liu Zhang disagreed even more. Now he only had two counties in his hands. The people didn't even have a stable place to live, and even the arable land was used for accommodation. If he gave Gu Rubing more territory at this time, there would definitely be trouble in Yulin County and Jiaozhi County.

Faced with life and death, Liu Zhang said he would never back down.

Gu Rubing did not expect that this time the two would be so determined to refuse compensation to him, and he had to give up in the end.

Gu Rubing was not very satisfied with the result of this meeting, but the ceasefire was a good agreement for several people.

When he walked out of the room, Gu Rubing saw that only Ma Chao was guarding outside.

"Where are Mengqi and the others?"

"My lord, Brother Guan has taken his men to compete with Dian Wei and the others at the martial arts arena, and he hasn't come back yet."

"Oh?"

Gu Rubing couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Finally, we can have some fun with Cao Cao and Liu Zhang.

It didn't take long for everyone to come back.

Dian Wei and Guan Yu were fine, but the others didn't look very good, especially Zhao Yun, Xu Chu, Meng Huo and Miao Moqing. Their clothes were covered with dust and even their hair was a little messy.

The four of them didn't look very good either.

Seeing this, Gu Rubing did not ask who won or lost, but left with everyone.

When they got outside the city, Gu Rubing looked at the five people behind him.

"Zilong, why are you so dirty? Did you lose the fight?"

Gu Rubing asked this question in a completely joking manner. He did not believe that Zhao Yun would lose.

"No, my lord, I won."

Zhao Yun smiled and shook his head.

"Brother, you don't know that Zilong was fighting three people at once, and they fought back and forth. In the end, Zilong exerted his strength and killed the two bugs. The weapon in Xu Chu's hand was also knocked away by Zilong, and they admitted defeat."

Zhang Fei was talking and gesticulating. Seeing Zhang Fei's expression, Guan Yu rolled his eyes at him.

"Third brother, you are talking so excitedly, why didn't you dare to go up when Dian Wei wanted to fight you?"

"hey-hey."

Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly and turned to look at Gu Rubing.

"Brother, what are we going to do? Aren't we going back?"

Only then did they realize that the road they were taking was not leading to the camp, but instead seemed to be heading towards Yangzhou.

"We are not going to the front line, we are going to Kuaiji County."

"Kuaiji County? Sun Jian's place?"

Upon hearing this, several people looked confused and didn't know what to do there.

Gu Rubing showed the intelligence that Captain Younu had obtained to several people.

When they saw the tax revenue of Kuaiji County for one month, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

No matter who you are, you will be jealous when you see this profit.

"But brother, what's the point of us going to that place? We have no reason to drive Sun Jian out."

Guan Yu already understood Gu Rubing's idea, but after thinking of several methods, he found that they all had no basis in reason.

"Let's go over and take a look."

Not to mention Guan Yu, even Gu Rubing had no reason to think of a share of the pie.

More than ten days later.

Gu Rubing and his companions arrived in Kuaiji County.

As a result, as soon as we entered Kuaiji County, we saw a caravan queuing like a long dragon at the city gate.

Faced with this scene, Gu Rubing became even more envious.

How much does this cost?

Zhang Fei walked to Gu Rubing with some excitement.

"Brother, why don't we pretend to be robbers and rob Kuaiji County? With so many caravans and so much cargo, there must be money. We might be able to get rich overnight."

Zhang Fei's voice was loud, attracting the attention of all the surrounding caravans.

Gu Rubing kicked Zhang Fei on the butt, then smiled awkwardly at the surrounding caravan.

"Third brother, can't you speak a little more quietly?"

Seeing this, Zhang Fei quickly shut his mouth.

Since the three people had no goods, they could enter the city directly without being checked.

"Brother, what should we do now? Should we go directly to Sun Quan?"

"No, we must not go to Sun Quan without a reason. Let's stay in the city first. I don't believe that we can't find any trouble if we want to?"

Soon they found an inn and stayed there.

The whereabouts of the few people were soon discovered by the local roving crossbow captain. Just after the few people settled down, the roving crossbow captain came to find them.

"My lord, I didn't know you were coming and was unable to greet you in time. Please forgive me, lord."

Looking at the kneeling captain of Younu, Gu Rubing smiled and patted his shoulder, motioning him to stand up.

"My Lord, why are you here..."

"How is the tax revenue in Kuaiji County?"

As soon as he heard about the tax, Captain Younu immediately took out the account book.

"My lord, according to our investigation, the monthly tax revenue of Kuaiji County is more than one million gold. Caravans from the surrounding states come here to trade. In addition, Sun Jian is also doing business on his own. According to our statistics, Sun Jian can get about two million gold from Kuaiji County every month."

"My god, one county can earn two million gold in one month, this is too scary."

Seeing Zhang Fei's envious look, Captain Younu also guessed the purpose of Gu Rubing coming here.

Then he took out another piece of information.

"My lord, today's Kuaiji County doesn't just belong to Sun Jian. The rapid development of Kuaiji County is closely related to several families."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing took out the information about the Younu Captain.

After taking a look, Gu Rubing finally understood.

Sun Jian originally obtained Kuaiji County, but because there was no cooperation from local forces, not many people bought things from the Anluo Empire.

Sun Jian had no choice but to unite with local forces and share part of the profits.

With the help and publicity of local forces, Sun Jian's business quickly flourished.

However, given Sun Jian's personality, how could he tolerate someone always sharing the profits with him? Now that the local forces could provide less and less help to Sun Jian, and the reputation of the Anluo Empire's products had spread, Sun Jian reduced a lot of the profits distributed to the local forces, which also caused dissatisfaction among the local forces.

"Brother, don't I remember that Yangzhou is not the territory of the Wei family? With our help, Wei Xi's business has spread all over Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, and even has a presence in Jingzhou and Xuzhou. It is impossible for Wei Xi to not take a bite of Kuaiji County, right?"

Guan Yu's words actually gave Gu Rubing a reminder.

But after looking carefully, there was indeed no news about Wei Xi or the Wei family on the list of forces cooperating with Sun Jian.

The captain of the Younu Army explained immediately, "My lord, Sun Jian has long known that the Wei family is supported by us. In order to prevent us from interfering in their business, when Sun Jian was looking for local forces to cooperate, he clearly stated that he would not cooperate with the Wei family. Even the partners who had a relationship with the Wei family were rejected by Sun Jian."

Gu Rubing just laughed out loud.

Sun Jian was really wary of himself. The Wei family had the greatest influence in the local area. In order to avoid having anything to do with him, Sun Jian would rather sacrifice some of his own interests.

But no matter what, now that he has set his eyes on this piece of meat, Sun Jian will have to give him half of it even if he is cautious or dissatisfied.

"You said that all the forces cooperating with Sun Jian are dissatisfied? How many are there specifically?"

"My lord, the most dissatisfied one is the Li family, a small local family. However, this small family has now become a first-class family in Kuaiji County. Even the Wei family has been disturbed. When entering the city, you see a group of caravans queuing up. They have to pay an entrance fee, and the one who collects the fee is the Li family. However, half of the fees collected by the Li family now have to be sent to Sun Jian."

Gu Rubing smiled and nodded, contacted Wei Xi and asked him to come over, saying that he had something to discuss with him.

"Yes, my lord!"

After the roving crossbow captain left, Zhang Fei looked at Gu Rubing and asked curiously, "Brother, are you planning to attack the Li family? But isn't our target Sun Jian?"

"Ugh!"

When Guan Yu heard Zhang Fei's words, he sighed helplessly.

If Zhang Fei could divide half of his talent in martial arts into his brain, he wouldn't even ask such questions.

"Second brother, what do you mean by sighing? Is what I, Old Zhang, said reasonable?" (End of this chapter)
