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

However, Gu Rubing didn't want to say it, and Zhang Ren was too lazy to ask any more questions.

In short, everyone now knows a good result, that is, they don’t have to leave. At least this way, they can do justice to those who died.

They can accept a strategic retreat or a forced retreat.

But the only thing that is unacceptable is the withdrawal of interests. After all, so many lives, even in this era when human lives are worthless, are much more important than those few interests. After all, how much interest can there be in just one county?

A few days later.

Liu Zhang saw that Gu Rubing was still inside Longbian City and had no intention of moving.

I immediately had a bad feeling. It was obvious that Gu Rubing took the money but did not do the job.

Finally, Liu Zhang couldn't bear it anymore and sent an envoy to urge Gu Rubing.

As a result, Gu Rubing didn't even meet the envoy and directly had him driven away.

After learning about this situation, Liu Zhang immediately understood Gu Rubing's thoughts. He did not dare to act rudely towards Gu Rubing, but he dared to act rudely towards Sun Jian.

Soon, Liu Zhang brought Meng Huo and Miao Moqing to Xiyu County in person.

Although Sun Jian is not afraid of Liu Zhang now, he does not want to offend Liu Zhang. After all, his supplies still need to be delivered from Liu Zhang's Guangxin City dock.

In the end, Sun Jian gritted his teeth and met Liu Zhang.

"King Yi, how come you have time to come here? Has the pressure on Liu Bei been reduced?"

"Reduce? Reduce what? King Wu, what do you mean? Why didn't you let Liu Bei give me Longbian City? Don't you know what Longbian City means to me?"

"King Yi, you really wronged me. When did I ask Liu Bei not to give you the city? And what is my status? I am still a defeated general of Liu Bei. Do you think that he would not give you the city just because I told him not to? When did my words become so effective? I also wanted him to let me rule the Central Plains, why didn't he listen?"

When Sun Jian contacted Gu Rubing, he had already thought that Liu Zhang would come to him sooner or later, and he also thought of a perfect excuse.

"You didn't let me?"

"Of course not. Do you think I am qualified to say irresponsible things in front of Liu Bei? Zhang Liao alone has already made us so busy. How many powerful generals like Zhang Liao does Liu Bei have? Now that I see Liu Bei, I can only run away."

In order to make Liu Zhang believe in him, Sun Jian did not hesitate to rub salt into his own wounds.

Seeing Sun Jian mistreating him so much, Liu Zhang was not sure whether Sun Jian was secretly trying to trip him up.

"Then Liu Bei said that it was you who made him unable to leave, and at the same time you could give him double what I gave him."

"You listen to Liu Bei's nonsense? We are allies, but I have already betrayed Liu Bei. If I betray you, I will be dead. What's wrong with you? No matter from our relationship or our current great power, I will never betray you. You believe everything Liu Bei says. It's obvious that he wants us to kill each other so that he can benefit from it!"

Liu Zhang already believed in Sun Jian and was completely fooled by him.

"What a shameless Liu Bei, what a bastard!"

Liu Zhang couldn't help but scold Gu Rubing.

Sun Jian was laughing secretly on the side.

After cursing for a while, Liu Zhang felt a little tired. He sat on a chair beside him, drinking tea and looking at Sun Jian. An idea came to his mind.

"King Wu, you said this matter has nothing to do with you. I believe you, but my men don't. Our alliance must continue. This is not an alliance between the two of us, but an alliance between my Yi army and your Wu army. Distrust among our men will also interfere with our alliance battles later. So in order to prove yourself, King Wu, you need to take action."

"Take action?"

Sun Jian was stunned for a moment. Liu Zhang's move was not what he had expected.

"Yes, this Longbian City was lost in your hands. You can't just ignore it, right? Since you lost it, you naturally need to take it back."

He didn't expect that Liu Zhang would actually take advantage of the situation to back off.

"This……"

Seeing that Sun Jian was hesitating, Liu Zhang immediately asked, "Why, King Wu doesn't want to prove himself? Then, is our alliance..."

Liu Zhang looked at Sun Jian. Although his face was full of smiles, the threatening tone in his words did not weaken at all.

Sun Jian's expression changed slightly, but he soon returned to smiling.

"King Yi, you are such a joke. Are you kidding me? I was beaten here. I have only the remnants of my army. What can I use to fight Liu Bei?"

"You don't have soldiers, I'll lend you soldiers. You don't have generals, I'll lend you generals. I'll give you whatever you need, as long as you help me get Longbian City back."

"I have enough soldiers and I have enough generals, but I do lack food and fodder."

"grain……"

When Liu Zhang saw that Sun Jian had finally given in and was about to agree, he suddenly remembered that all his food and grass had been taken away by Liu Bei. How could he have any food and grass left for Sun Jian?

"The only thing is this food supply. Do you want to consider changing it?"

"No, I have 200,000 soldiers and horses, and two legendary generals. I also have famous generals and many quasi-famous generals. I have everything I need except food and grass. If there is enough food and grass, I will fight. If not, I can do nothing."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhang slammed the table and stood up.

Seeing Sun Jian's helpless look, Liu Zhang wanted to get angry, but suddenly he thought of something and immediately said, "Okay, King Wu, I will provide the food and grass, and the rest is up to you."

Sun Jian didn't expect that Liu Zhang would actually agree to give him food and grass. However, Sun Jian knew Liu Zhang's current strength very well. How could he possibly give him food and grass? Even if Liu Zhang wanted to give it, he would have to think about it.

"Okay, as long as your food and supplies arrive, I will go to war!"

"Okay, we'll just put it in writing."

After saying this, Liu Zhang directly asked someone to sign an agreement.

Sun Jian took a look at the contents of the agreement, smiled, and then pushed the agreement over.

There was nothing wrong with the agreement. It stated that Liu Zhang would provide food and fodder, and the company would provide the army.

"Why, what's the problem, King Yi?"

"No problem, but it's not written here. What if you don't take out the food?"

"Simple, I will give you Guangxin City."

"make a deal."

Sun Jian was confident that Liu Zhang could not provide food and fodder for an army of 200,000.

After Liu Zhang went back, Zhou Yu came out from the corner.

"My lord, if Liu Zhang really provided food and fodder, should we really attack Liu Bei?"

"What the hell are you thinking? We have an army of 200,000. To set out, we need to prepare food and fodder for three months. Liu Zhang is having a hard time eating now, and he still wants to give us food and fodder. Even if he gives us food and fodder, we can just take the army of 200,000 and stroll around outside. The agreement only says that we will fight, but it doesn't say that we will definitely win."

Liu Zhang returned to Guangxin City with the agreement. When Surena learned that Liu Zhang had signed the agreement, he immediately came up to him.

"King, we don't have that much food and fodder now."

"I know, but just because we don't have it doesn't mean others don't have it either. Send a message to Cao Cao immediately and tell him that I want to see him." Gu Rubing knew about Liu Zhang's meeting with Sun Jian, and he was even more clear about the agreement between them.

Looking at the information in his hand, Gu Rubing laughed out loud.

"This Sun Jian is really interesting. He really set Liu Zhang up for death."

Gu Rubing also didn't think that Liu Zhang had the ability to provide those grains and fodder, so Liu Zhang was given the Guangxin City.

But soon, Gu Rubing received another piece of news that Liu Zhang actually went to find Cao Cao.

Gu Rubing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

If you don't have it, you can ask others for it. This is actually a good idea.

Cao Cao was very happy to see Liu Zhang coming, but he didn't expect that Liu Zhang would ask for food and fodder as soon as he opened his mouth.

The smile on Cao Cao's face disappeared visibly.

"King Yi, we haven't seen each other for such a long time. We finally met, but you asked for food and grass right away. Now I have given you so many territories, but you still don't have enough food and grass?"

"King Wei, you know this well. Although we have territory, it will take some time for food and grass to mature. And I did gain two big cities from you, but I also lost two counties, so the land did not increase much."

"Oh my god, you lost your territory, and you blame me?"

Cao Cao was so angry that he laughed.

Liu Zhang shook his head hurriedly.

Soon, Liu Zhang told Sun Jian about the agreement he had signed.

"What? Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang, are you mentally retarded? If I didn't have so much food and grass, wouldn't you have given Guangxin City to Sun Jian? What do you think I am? A local rich man? That's an army of 200,000. How do you know that I have extra food and grass for 200,000 troops?"

"I……"

Liu Zhang looked at the furious Cao Cao and dared not say a word.

Seeing Liu Zhang looking at him silently with a frustrated look on his face, Cao Cao suppressed his anger for a long time.

"I can give you three months' worth of food and fodder for an army of two hundred thousand men, but that's all I have. I don't have any more."

"Okay, that's enough. Xiyu City is not far from Longbian City. Three months is enough."

Looking at the smile on Liu Zhang's face, Cao Cao shook his head helplessly.

Cao Cao also realized that Sun Jian was just playing tricks on Liu Zhang.

But it was not easy for Cao Cao to say this out loud. After all, the three parties were still in an alliance. But when it came to alliance, his alliance with Liu Zhang was the most stable. So if there was really a conflict among the three parties, Cao Cao would definitely help Liu Zhang.

Watching Liu Zhang happily leave with the food and supplies.

Cao Cao stood on the city wall, looked at their backs, and sighed helplessly.

"My lord, are you worried about Liu Zhang?"

"Yeah, I kind of regret why I chose this loser Liu Zhang."

"Haha, my lord, now that you have made your choice, nothing can be changed. Besides, Liu Zhang still has Su Lena in his hands. This person's talent is not inferior to Wen Ruo, and he will definitely be able to help Liu Zhang."

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao could only nod helplessly. After all, he had done everything he could.

Surena looked at the food and grass that Liu Zhang brought back and found that Liu Zhang was going to give all of it to Sun Jian, so he immediately stopped Liu Zhang.

"King, Sun Jian has agreed to send troops to us, but no one knows whether Sun Jian can win. Moreover, considering the fighting power of Sun Jian and his men, this battle will most likely be fruitless. Our food and fodder will most likely be wasted by Sun Jian."

"This……"

When Liu Zhang heard this, he hesitated for a moment. After all, he had written into the agreement that he would provide Sun Jian with food and fodder.

Seeing Liu Zhang's dilemma, Surena immediately said with a smile: "King, I have an idea. Sun Jian wants to cheat by relying on the fact that the agreement does not mention the winner of the final battle. We can also find a loophole. We did not say that the food and grass must be provided all at once."

Liu Zhang reacted immediately.

Two days later, Sun Jian received the first batch of food.

Seeing that the food and grass he had obtained were only enough for five days, Sun Jian's face instantly turned gloomy.

"My lord, what should we do now? Liu Zhang has actually sent us food and fodder, but the quantity is a bit too little. Liu Zhang is forcing us to send troops immediately."

Zhou Yu walked to Sun Jian's side and looked at the food and grass in front of him with a worried look.

"Forget it, let's send out troops according to the original plan!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, Sun Jian set out with an army of 200,000 soldiers.

Gu Rubing had received the news long ago, and this news was brought by Sun Jian, so Gu Rubing had made sufficient preparations.

Although Sun Jian had 200,000 troops, his combat effectiveness was limited. Moreover, when facing a county town, the difference between the number of troops defending the city being 100,000 or 200,000 was not that big.

For a whole day, Sun Jian didn't even touch the city wall.

Of course, one of the reasons was that Sun Jian didn't want to fight.

However, what Sun Jian didn't know was that at the moment Sun Jian led his 200,000 troops out of the city.

A group of people were watching them.

After a day and a night, the 200,000-strong army finally left Xiyu City one after another.

"General, Sun Jian has left. What should we do? Should we attack them by surprise? We only have 100,000 soldiers on the front line. The lord is still on the front line. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out for long. If we take action here, we can relieve some of the pressure on the lord."

"No, the lord has 100,000 men, so defending the city will be no problem. We have more important things to do."

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he waved his hand.

Two thousand eighteen riders of Yanyun slowly walked out of the woods.

Their target was not the 200,000 troops in front of them, but the almost empty Xiyu City.

Soon, Zhang Liao and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun arrived at the city of Xiyu.

The deputy general guarding the city subconsciously took a few steps back when he saw Zhang Liao appear. If the city gate had not been closed, he would probably have turned around and run away.

There was no way that the fear that Zhang Liao brought to the Wu army was something that not everyone could withstand.

In Gu Rubing's army, Zhang Liao is not the strongest in terms of ability, but if we talk about the general that the Wu army fears the most, Zhang Liao is definitely ranked first.

"Zhang... Zhang Liao, what are you doing here? We have an army of 200,000 soldiers and countless generals in the city. If you dare to attack the city, the generals will not let you go." (End of this chapter)
