Sura hesitated for a moment and returned to the chair.

"Prime Minister, what's the use of saying so much? Don't you also treat us as pawns? When we are useless, don't you still want to keep us aside and let us fend for ourselves?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"We are different. We want you to be the real king. You are indeed our pawn, but we will not interfere with you."

"Won't you interfere with us?"

Zhuge Liang's conditions were indeed very tempting to Sulla.

You must know that neither Rome nor Parthia actually want to continue the war. They are now busy clearing up internal problems. Now, whether it is Rome or Parthia, some people are supporters of Cao Cao and Sun Jian. This group of people is also the main war faction. , and the other part of the people are the peace faction, these people are all for the development of their country.

Both Sulla and Surena knew clearly that only people like the Lord Harmony Faction truly cared about their country, and those War Factions were the Han's spies.

"I'll think about it."

Su La was not sure whether what Gu Rubing and Zhuge Liang said was true. He could only go back and hold a meeting with everyone to study it.

After Su La left, Gu Rubing looked at Zhuge Liang.

"Prime Minister, do you think this Sura will really cooperate with us?"

"As long as he is not a fool, he will definitely cooperate with us. Sun Jian and Cao Cao have already reduced the two empires to chaos. If they still want their own empire, they have no choice but to cooperate with us. "

Regarding Zhuge Liang's confidence, Gu Rubing just nodded.

When Sulla returned to the military camp, he called for everyone in Rome and Parthia, and even Surena's past in Parthia.

And told Surena about Zhuge Liang's plan.

Upon hearing the plan, Surena hesitated, then nodded.

Nowadays, Parthia's interior is no better than Rome. It barely survives solely on its reputation in the military.

There have even been some small riots within Parthia.

After all, compared to the losses, the losses on Anxi's side were the most serious, and even 70% of the people were gone.

At this time, a war has begun in Jiaozhou.

Sun Jian felt that Gu Rubing had been held back by the West, so he united with Cao Cao. The two formed a coalition again and launched a siege on Guan Yu's camp.

At first, Guan Yu and the others could hold on for a while, but soon, Guan Yu could no longer hold on.

Meng Huo and Miao Moqing of the Gu tribe sent Gu Mother and Gu Ancestor to fight against the legendary generals, while they themselves followed the army and besieged the camp.

Zhang He swung his sword and hacked to death the Yangzhou army that rushed up in front of him, and looked at Zhang Ren not far away.

"Justice, we can't stand it any longer. Should we withdraw to the second line of defense first?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ren looked around and found that they were already surrounded. If they persisted, by the time the encirclement was completely formed, it would be too late for them to get out even if they wanted to.

"withdraw!"

Zhang Ren shouted, but just as they were about to leave.

Two voices came from far away.

"Where to go."

As soon as the voice fell, the Xiahou brothers came out from a distance to fight.

Zhang Ren directly drew out his two guns, gritted his teeth and faced them.

Seeing Zhang Ren being entangled, Zhang He could only rush forward with his gun.

With Zhang He sharing the burden, Zhang Ren is indeed much more relaxed.

The two guns made Xia Houyuan a little confused for a while. Although there were no wounds, looking at Xia Houyuan's appearance, one could see how dangerous he was.

As for the strength of Zhang He and Xiahou Dun, there is not much difference. It is difficult to tell the winner for a while.

At this moment, Gan Ning rushed over with Yangzhou reinforcements.

At this time, the Yangzhou Army and Yizhou Army combined had almost reached 300,000.

Sun Jian showed all his old tricks this time.

The Xiahou brothers immediately changed their targets and began to join forces to attack Zhang Ren, while Gan Ning went against Zhang He.

Gan Ning's eighteen black shadows kept disrupting Zhang He's attack rhythm, making Zhang He a little timid for a while.

Checking the time, Gan Ning waved the ancient ingot knife in his hand and slashed Zhang He's arm.

Zhang He's arms trembled slightly, and he was about to fight back when he saw a black shadow swinging the knife in his hand and slashing at him. Zhang He quickly swung his gun to block it, while Gan Ning took the opportunity to break away from the battle, waiting for his own opportunity to strike again. surprise attack.

Zhang Ren also felt uncomfortable. Ever since the Xiahou brothers got together, the advantage of his dual spears disappeared instantly. Moreover, the Xiahou brothers had a very high tacit understanding and were often able to achieve unexpected coordination. Fortunately, Zhang Ren chose to use dual spears. If it had been a single shot, I'm afraid he would have been shot down and dismounted by now.

Just when the two of them were gritting their teeth and holding on, there was a commotion behind the Yangzhou Army.

Gan Ning looked at the rear of the camp and found that a group of people rushed into the back of the Yangzhou Army, causing a commotion without laughter.

There were not many of them, and it looked like there were only about two hundred cavalry. But what was different about these two hundred cavalry was that all of them were wearing heavy armor, and even their horses were wearing armor. This was a typical heavy army. Mount cavalry.

In Gu Rubing's hands, there is only one special unit, Iron Buddha, that can be called a heavy cavalry.

When I saw the general he was carrying, it turned out to be Zhang Liao.

After leaving Wu Jun, Zhang Liao took Tiefu Tu and rushed to Jiaozhou. However, the long-term melee caused Tiefu Tu to slow down a lot.

Zhang Liao had no choice but to give orders and rest while on his way.

As a result, as soon as he arrived in Jiaozhou, he learned about the war and immediately brought his people over.

With the support of Zhang Liao, the Yangzhou Army and Yizhou Army did panic for a while, but the number of Iron Buddha Towers was too small. Even with the blessing of Zhang Liao's deadly battle, in front of an army of 200,000, these two hundred Iron Buddha Towers could not cause trouble. What a big splash.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Liao immediately rushed to the front line with all the iron pagodas and came to Zhang Liao and Zhang He's side.

However, along with Zhang Liao came not only Tiefu Tu, but also Huang Gai, Xu Huang and others.

As more and more famous generals joined, Zhang Liao and the others knew that they could not stop them.

"withdraw!"

The three of them led the remaining people and hid directly in the second line of defense that had been set up in advance.

As for this second line of defense, it is the border of Cangwu County.

Guan Yu had long known that once the two sides took action, it would be impossible to defend Cangwu County with the weird methods of the Gu tribe in Sun Jian's hands. He could only find a way to wait for Gu Rubing or Zhuge Liang to come back.

The so-called second line of defense is also the last line of defense set by Guan Yu.

Stationed inside are Zang Ba's Taishan Tiger Bandits, which are in the hands of Gu Rubing and are the largest special unit among the three major forces. Although their strength is not as strong as those elite special units, they are better in number. Five Even if the Wantai Mountain Tiger Bandits sent 100,000 people, they still couldn't break the city.

At this time, there were not only the Taishan Tiger Bandits in the city, but also Pang De and Wei Yan, who were also waiting in full formation.

When the two of them saw Zhang He and the others coming back, they immediately opened the door and let him in.

"Junyi, how's it going?"

"There are too many people on the other side. We only have 50,000 people. We can only hold on until now. If Wenyuan didn't come to support us, we might not be able to come back."

Hearing this, Pang De looked at Zhang Liao.

"Wenyuan, how many people do you still have in your hands?"

"There are less than two hundred iron pagodas left."

Upon hearing this number, Pang De sighed helplessly.

There are 50,000 people on the front line. Now, less than 10,000 people have come back with Zhang He and others. There are only less than 200 people in Iron Buddha Tu. Plus the people in his own hands, the total is only 170,000 people. And the opponent has Nearly two hundred thousand people.

Pang De suddenly felt a little troubled.

But what troubles Pound the most is the Gu clan's methods.

If the Gu tribe did not exist, this battle would never have turned out like this based on the number of soldiers and combat effectiveness in their hands.

"General Guan and the others haven't come back yet?"

Zhang He looked around worriedly.

Pang De shook his head after hearing this.

"General Guan said that once the fighting between them starts, they will definitely hurt their own people, so it doesn't matter where they are, we just need to do our own thing and defend Jiaozhou."

Zhang He laughed bitterly when he heard this.

Defending Jiaozhou is simple. Half of the 50,000 people were poisoned by poison gas as soon as the war started, and the remaining half were poisoned to varying degrees.

How can we defend the city in such a situation?

This is what several people present were worried about.

At this time, Zhou Yu, Gan Ning and others, led by the Xiahou brothers and the Yangzhou army and the Yizhou army, came to the city.

"I said, why are you doing this? If I were you, I would leave Jiaozhou. We can guarantee that as long as you leave Jiaozhou, we will not attack you again. Our only goal is Jiaozhou."

Zhou Yu didn't want to spend too much. Zhou Yu knew better than anyone how Sun Jian got these 100,000 people.

This is all the men in Yangzhou that can be produced.

The process of recruiting soldiers is almost the same as robbing people.

If this battle fails, then Yangzhou will be completely destroyed. Women and children cannot be allowed to go to the battlefield.

"Zhou Yu, don't you think about letting us go? You suddenly took action against us. When our lord comes back, you will definitely know how terrifying the lord's anger is. I'm afraid you Yangzhou won't be able to bear it!"

Regarding Zhou Yu's words, Pang De directly rejected them.

"Okay, Zhou Yu, why are you telling them so much? We have nearly 200,000 people, so what are we afraid of? Just rush up and drive them away."

Brother Xiahou didn't have much patience at this time.

Compared with Yangzhou, the situation in Yizhou is not even the slightest bit better.

The 100,000 people they brought out did not harm the people. It can be said that it is quite easy to piece together 100,000 soldiers.

Zhou Yu glared at the Xiahou brothers, and just when he was about to take action, a voice suddenly appeared behind them.

Hearing this voice, Zhou Yu hurriedly looked behind him, because he felt that the voice was very familiar. Every time this voice appeared, it was not a good thing.

"Meng Huo?"

Meng Huo walked up to Zhou Yu and closed his eyes without paying any attention to Zhou Yu.

Not long after, Zhou Yu discovered that a green poisonous gas was starting to emit bit by bit from Meng Huo's body.

It was just a little bit at first, but as time went by, the poisonous gas became more and more serious. If it weren't for the detoxification pill developed by Meng Huo before the war started, they would have been the first people to be poisoned. .

Looking at the familiar poison gas getting closer and closer to the city wall, Pang De could only ask everyone to take out cloth and cover their mouths and noses to block the poison gas as much as possible.

However, at this moment, a convoy slowly entered the city.

A centurion immediately came to Pang De's side.

"General, Mr. Hua Tuo sent us the antidote he developed. Mr. Hua Tuo said that it can only last for five hours, after all, there is not much."

"Is there an antidote? That's great."

Pang De soon had the antidote distributed.

After everyone took the antidote, all the poison gas entered the city wall.

Meng Huo saw Pang De and his men fall to the ground on the city wall and clapped his hands.

"General, you can go up."

"Okay."

Seeing this, Zhou Yu immediately led his men to rush up.

Soon, the first soldier of the Yizhou Army went up the city wall.

However, before he could check the surroundings and see the enemy troops who were not awake yet.

A sword suddenly stretched out and gave him a chill.

He casually threw the corpse in front of him away.

"Brothers, take action."

Pang De's voice was very loud, and all the soldiers lying on the ground pretending to be dead stood up and waved their knives at the enemy soldiers around them.

Zhou Yu, who was outside the city, saw that Pang De and his men had woken up, and looked at Meng Huo with a puzzled look.

Meng Huo was also very helpless at this time. He didn't understand what was going on. The poison in his hand was obviously incurable.

But Meng Huo forgot that this incurable did not mean that there was no medicine to resist. Hua Tuo did not develop an antidote, but something that could help them prolong the fighting time.

As Meng Huo's means failed, Zhou Yu tried to attack for three hours and finally chose to give up.

"More than 100,000 troops are stationed not far outside the city."

Listening to the deputy general who counted the losses beside him, Zhou Yu frowned slightly.

Although they won this battle, they also lost nearly 40,000 soldiers. Compared with this, Cao Cao's men suffered very little loss, and the total loss was only 20,000.

"I say, you two, are you a little too much? After fighting for a whole day, you lost 20,000 people. Are you kidding me?"

Hearing this, the two looked around together.

"General, I don't like what you said. Did we two brothers go to the battlefield? And we have Xu Huang and others to support us. Isn't this a loss?"

Before coming, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan received Cao Cao's order to minimize the loss as much as possible and let Sun Jian lose.

The two were also strictly following Cao Cao's requirements.

Listening to the two people's words, Zhou Yu was wondering for a while whether he blamed the wrong person.

"Okay, no matter what, we lost so many people, but fortunately, there is only one county in Jiaozhou, which is in Liu Bei's hands."
