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

Seeing the two silent people, Zhou Yu sighed helplessly.

Gu Rubing left 50,000 troops outside the city and directly blocked the city gates. People inside could not go out and people outside could not come in. He then leisurely entered the city with Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei.

When the residents of the city heard that King Lie was coming, they all lined up to welcome him.

The last time Gu Rubing came, he distributed food, food and meat. The residents were very welcoming to him.

Zhou Yu looked at the scene where the residents lined up to welcome Gu Rubing and found that Gu Rubing was like a general returning from a victory. In Constantinople, his reputation even surpassed that of Sun Jian.

No, Liu Bei can't stay here.

Zhou Yu made up his mind and immediately walked up to Gu Rubing and stopped him from entering the city.

"Gongjin, what are you doing? You don't look like you're welcoming me."

When Zhou Yu heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and then he quickly smiled and waved his hand.

"What are you talking about, King Lie? Our two families are allies. You married Shangxiang, so we are considered a family. How can we not welcome you? I want to invite you to the post station. The lord hasn't come back yet. When the lord comes back, I will naturally go to see you."

"Sun Jian is not here again? Doesn't he want to see me again? It doesn't matter, I will wait for him. I see that the residents in this city are very excited to see me. I can't let them down. How are the food, cloth and meat reserves in your city?"

Everyone's expressions changed after hearing this.

"Don't worry, King Lie. This time the lord will be back in two days. He won't keep you waiting too long."

After saying this, Zhou Yu turned and left.

Looking at Zhou Yu's back, Zhao Yun walked to Gu Rubing curiously.

"My Lord, this Sun Jian obviously doesn't intend to meet us, otherwise I will just rush over and capture Sun Jian?"

"No rush. Sun Jian knows that he has caused trouble for us. All we have to do is give him some time to discuss how much compensation we should give him. We can't just not give him any time at all."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded.

After Zhou Yu led everyone back to the palace, he saw Sun Jian walking back and forth with his head down as if he was thinking about something.

"Lord."

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Jian immediately raised his head and looked at Zhou Yu.

"You are finally back. What does Liu Bei mean?"

"We don't know either. He just wants to see the lord. This time we were too obvious. I guess Liu Bei wants some benefits. We just need to give him some benefits."

Hearing this, Sun Jian couldn't help but slap the table beside him.

"Shi Xie is a loser. He was asked to cause trouble for Liu Bei. Not only did he lose a county town, but he also lost 50,000 soldiers and horses. In less than a month, even if he was 50,000 pigs, Liu Bei would need a month to catch them all!"

Looking at the frustrated Sun Jian, Zhou Yu sighed. None of them had expected that Shi Xie would lose so quickly this time.

"My lord, please listen to what Liu Bei wants first. As long as it is not too much, give it to him and send this plague god away quickly."

Sun Jian nodded, and everyone discussed the lowest bottom line they could pay.

The next day, Zhou Yu came to Gu Rubing's room.

I opened the door and saw Zhou Yu standing at the door.

Gu Rubing asked in surprise, "Gongjin is here, why didn't you knock on the door and just stood at the door waiting for me? How can others see me like this?"

"You are the King Lie, how can I disturb your rest? My master is back, please follow me to the palace."

"Sun Jian is back? He's really fast. I was thinking of taking a walk on the street."

As soon as he heard about going to the street, Zhou Yu broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

Soon, Gu Rubing brought Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and Zhou Yu directly into the palace.

When Sun Jian saw Gu Rubing coming, he immediately stood up and walked down from the throne.

"Oh, King Lie, you came so suddenly that I didn't prepare anything. I was out on an inspection, but when I heard the news that you were back, I rushed back overnight."

"You rushed back overnight? That must have been hard work, King Wu."

Listening to Gu Rubing's words, Sun Jian heard a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Although he felt somewhat dissatisfied, Sun Jian did not dare to show it.

After letting Gu Rubing sit on the chair, Sun Jian spoke hurriedly.

"King Lie, I heard that my people had some misunderstandings with King Lie's people when they were training outside. Did they cross the line? Tell me, and I will destroy them right now."

"Correct!"

"Aren't they crossing the line...right?"

Sun Jian thought that Gu Rubing would say no and then talk about Shi Xie, but he didn't expect Gu Rubing not to follow the script.

Zhou Yu, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said, and then immediately retorted.

"King Lie, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. When did I cross the border? We were all training inside the border."

"If I say you crossed the line, you did. Have you figured out how to compensate me?"

"This……"

Zhou Yu fell silent when he heard this.

Sun Jian, who was standing by, immediately stood up upon seeing this.

"Gongjin, you are going too far. I asked you to go out and train new soldiers. How could you cross the line and cause trouble for King Lie?"

After saying that, Sun Jian took out a list and placed it in front of Gu Rubing.

"King Lie, please take a look. This is our compensation list. Please take a look and see if it's okay."

In Sun Jian's opinion, Gu Rubing had to be compensated anyway, so did the reason matter? It didn't matter at all.

Gu Rubing looked at the list, which included food, weapons, gold and silver.

After putting the list away, Gu Rubing nodded.

"Yes, you are quite sincere."

Sun Jian didn't expect that Gu Rubing would be so easy to talk to and actually agreed to it? Was there no bargaining process?
When discussing with Zhou Yu last night, Sun Jian had already thought of the bargaining scene and even rehearsed it in advance, but it was not used in the end.

Could it be that Liu Bei had a change of heart?

Sun Jian was confused, but he still smiled.

"King Lie, don't worry, we were at fault first, so we need to pay compensation."

"Well, okay, this matter is over."

Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief, finally being able to send the plague god away.

"but……"

When Sun Jian heard that Gu Rubing still had a chance, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"You interfered with my battle plan against Shi Xie. Do you want to compensate me for this?"

"What?"

Sun Jian's eyes suddenly widened.

It turns out that the compensation just now was really just the so-called compensation for crossing the line, but they didn’t cross the line at all!

Sun Jian looked at the smile on Gu Rubing's face and knew that he had been fooled. Zhou Yu stepped forward even more excitedly.

"King Lie, don't go too far. We didn't cross the line at all. Everything is just what you said!"

"I didn't cross the line, why are you giving me compensation? Since you gave me compensation, doesn't it mean that you crossed the line? It's just that I didn't know it. I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise. You are really sincere..."

After saying this, Gu Rubing patted his chest pocket with a very satisfied smile on his face.

"I……"

Zhou Yu looked at Gu Rubing's asking-for-a-beating look, then looked at the threatening looks of Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei standing behind Gu Rubing. Zhou Yu finally gave up and prepared to beat Gu Rubing up.

Sun Jian did not expect that he would be tricked by Gu Rubing again.

"King Lie, I know we were wrong again, but we can't go too far, right?"

"Haha, the King of Wu is really a joker. I came here for Shi Xie's matter. Doesn't the King of Wu know this? Do I need to explain it in detail?"

Looking at Gu Rubing's smug look, Sun Jian sighed.

The bargaining scene that I had rehearsed was completely useless, and now I have to give out an extra copy.

In the end, Gu Rubing walked out of the palace with satisfaction, carrying two lists.

Sun Jian followed Gu Rubing, gritting his teeth, not daring to say anything.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Gu Rubing suddenly looked at Sun Jian.

"King Wu, I heard that the legendary generals under your command have been very arrogant recently. Why don't we have a competition? Let me see how advanced they are now?"

air?

Sun Jian immediately realized that it was his sending of Sun Ce and Gan Ning to Liang Province that made Gu Rubing very unhappy, and that this was a lesson for him.

Sun Jian immediately gave in.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. How dare the legendary generals I have compare with yours?"

"Oh, that's good to know. As for this legendary general, unless it's a special moment, don't take action casually, and it's best not to stand out casually, otherwise, it will be easy to not be able to go back."

In response to Gu Rubing's threatening words, Sun Jian smiled awkwardly and nodded quickly to apologize.

Seeing his lord being so servile, Gan Ning gritted his teeth and walked out.

Gan Ning knew that he was bound to lose, but even if he was going to lose, he couldn't find someone who was similar to himself. He had to find someone who was much stronger than himself, someone that others would not dare to challenge easily.

"My lord, I want to give it a try with General Zhao Zilong!"

Not only Sun Jian and Zhou Yu, but even Sun Ce were a little shocked when Gan Ning suddenly stood up.

Sun Ce knew very well what level Gan Ning was at. He was indeed stronger than himself, but he was definitely not a match for Zhao Yun, who was ranked among the top three legendary generals. Who would dare to challenge him in a duel?
Sun Ce immediately wanted to stop him, but Zhou Yu stopped him immediately.

"Since Xingba is interested, why not let him try it? What do you think, lord?"

Originally Sun Jian wanted to refuse, but seeing Zhou Yu's determined eyes, Sun Jian had no choice but to agree.

Knowing the legendary general's incredible destructive power, Sun Jian specially found the largest training ground and cleared out all the soldiers in training.

Looking at the training ground that was as big as several football fields, Gu Rubing was quite satisfied.

"Zilong, go ahead and let Sun Jian and the others teach them a lesson."

Zhao Yun nodded, picked up his silver spear, and walked to the center of the martial arts field.

And Gan Ning also walked over.

Both of them are legendary generals, and Zhao Yun wanted to deal with Gan Ning as quickly as possible, so he went all out from the start.

Gan Ning was suppressed and beaten as soon as he came up.

Looking at Gan Ning's appearance, Sun Jian looked at Zhou Yu with some concern.

"Gongjin, Gan Ning will definitely lose if he fights Zhou Yu alone. Why do you want Gan Ning to fight?"

"My lord, if Xingba had gone to find Zhang Fei, I would not agree. But the opponent is Zhao Yun, who ranks among the top three legendary generals. If Gan Ning goes to challenge him, we will not be ashamed if he loses. After all, the only one who can definitely beat Zhao Yun is probably Guan Yu under Liu Bei. We will not be ashamed if we lose, but if we win, it will be Liu Bei who will be embarrassed. This deal is a sure win for us."

Sun Jian understood the logic behind this and immediately nodded with a smile.

Gan Ning was constantly being beaten and finally got angry. He used the ancient ingot knife in his hand to block Zhao Yun's silver spear, but his body was also bent a little by the powerful force.

Just when Zhao Yun and Gan Ning were competing in strength, Zhao Yun suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind him.

Zhao Yun's years of combat experience made him realize that the strong wind behind him was very dangerous, so he had to stop and avoid it.

Only then did Zhao Yun see that there was a dark shadow standing behind him.

The black shadow was also holding an ancient ingot knife in his hand and standing next to Gan Ning.

Zhao Yun felt that this black shadow actually had the strength of a legendary general, but his own characteristics were not activated.

"Zhao Yun, I just don't believe that I can't defeat you like this!"

Gan Ning said this and attacked at the same time as Shadow.

The two men attacked Zhao Yun from two directions, all aiming at Zhao Yun's defensive weaknesses.

"Silver Dragon."

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun sneered.

The shadow of a silver dragon appeared, and as Zhao Yun swung the tip of the silver spear in his hand, the silver dragon rushed directly towards the black shadow.

Although the black shadow tried his best to block, he could not withstand the impact of the silver dragon and was knocked away by the silver dragon.

Zhao Yun discovered that the shadow seemed to have become fainter.

Gan Ning, who was standing aside, turned a little paler.

Then Zhao Yun was about to rush towards the shadow again.

Gan Ning hurried forward to stop him.

The two fought again.

But this time Gan Ning no longer had the will to fight as before.

Faced with Zhao Yun's pressing, Gan Ning made a decision in his heart.

Gan Ning walked into the shadow, his eyes had turned blood red.

When Sun Ce and Zhang Fei in the stands saw this situation, their faces changed.

"Father, please stop this fight."

Without Sun Ce saying anything, Sun Jian also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene.

"Alright, the challenge is over, King Lie, we lost."

Hearing this, Gu Rubing also stood up. He was a second-rate general and could not feel what was happening in the field. But looking at Zhang Fei's nervous look, Gu Rubing knew that the trouble was definitely not small.

"Alright, we're just here for everyone to watch, there's no need to make it so bloody. Since no one wants to fight anymore, we should leave. King Wu hopes that the things you promised me can be delivered as soon as possible."

"sure."

Seeing Sun Jian nod, Gu Rubing waved to Zhao Yun on the field.

Zhao Yun looked at Gan Ning in front of him with a hint of vigilance in his eyes, and slowly walked behind Gu Rubing, but his eyes were still fixed on Gan Ning. (End of this chapter)
