Seeing that Gu Rubing wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to ask more, Zhuge Liang laughed directly.

"Don't worry, lord, of course it's a loan, and there must be interest. Using Liangzhou in exchange for Cao Cao and Sun Jian's backyard fire is still worthwhile. But we will take Liangzhou back sooner or later, so it's naturally a loan."

Gu Rubing didn't know what Zhuge Liang was up to, but since Zhuge Liang said so, he just had to do what he said.

Three days later.

The 200,000-strong coalition army composed of Parthia and Rome, led by ten famous generals, began to attack various places in Liangzhou.

And Taishi Ci seemed to be unaware and had no intention of sending troops.

Because a few hours ago, Taishi Ci received Zhuge Liang's brocade bag.

In just one day, the entire Liangzhou, except for Anding County annexed by Taishi Ci, was in the hands of the coalition.

Liu Zhang and Shi Xie were a little wary of this unusual success, and they never dared to attack Anding County guarded by Taishi Ci.

However, Taishi Ci was ready to retreat at this time.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the road leading to Anding County in the distance, there was not even a spy on the other side.

This made Taishi Ci a little suspicious, whether Zhuge Liang had guessed wrong, and the other party did not want to take Anding County at all.

The deputy general came to Taishi Ci and asked curiously: "General, what are you doing?"

"Waiting!"

"General, don't worry, we will definitely be able to defend Anding County."

"Defend? Who said we have to defend? The prime minister said that Liangzhou will be lent to them first, and they just need to wait for them to come and take it."

The deputy general's eyes widened when he heard this. It turned out that they had not sent troops all the time, not for the final counterattack, but really did not want Liangzhou.

"But General, this Liangzhou is the land of the Han Dynasty. Letting a group of Westerners occupy it is a bit..."

"Don't worry, everything is for the final victory."

As the two were talking, Taishi Ci saw two figures appear not far ahead. These two people were sneaky and they were not good people at first glance.

"Go and catch those two people."

Taishi Ci pointed to the front.

The deputy general looked ahead in confusion.

"General, there is no one there?"

Taishi Ci is good at archery, so his eyesight is naturally very strong, and he can see distances that ordinary people cannot see.

"Just take people to the location I said, and you will definitely find the two sneaky people."

The deputy general was half-believing and half-doubting, and rushed out with dozens of people, and indeed found two people.

After seeing the deputy general rushing out, the two people looked left and right as if nothing had happened, as if they were enjoying the scenery.

"What are you two doing here?"

"Ah? We are here for a walk, is that not okay?"

"Do you really think I am a fool? Everyone knows that there is a war going on in Liangzhou, who dares to come out? You dare to come out and hang out? Take them away."

Soon, several soldiers stepped forward and arrested the two men.

"What are you doing? I tell you, I am a Parthian, not a Han Chinese. You can't arrest me, and you have no right to arrest me."

"What a coincidence, we are at war with Parthia, you are spies, take them back and torture them severely."

"Yes."

The soldiers responded with a smile while dragging the men back.

Not long after, the deputy general returned with his men.

"General, are you really a god? You can see from such a long distance. There are indeed two people, sneaking around. They should be the spies of Anxi. What should we do? Should we kill them directly as usual?"

If the prisoners were captured by both sides on the battlefield, the other side might consider incorporating them into its own camp, but if they were spies, once they were caught, there would be only one end, that is, death.

After all, no matter who it is, the punishment for spies and traitors is the most stringent.

"No, bring them up. I have something else for them to pass on."

The deputy general nodded and brought the people directly to Taishi Ci.

"You can't catch me. I'm not a Han Chinese. I'm not a Han Chinese."

Listening to the words of the two, Taishi Ci smiled and asked the deputy general to untie the ropes on the two.

The two stood up from the ground and looked at Taishi Ci in front of them. When they saw the murderous look in his eyes, the words on their lips were swallowed hard.

"Who are you?"

"We are Parthians, we are not spies."

Looking at the two people, Taishi Ci smiled directly, then took out a letter and put it in the arms of one of them.

"Give this letter to your king and tell him that I, Taishi Ci, am waiting for them."

The two looked at Taishi Ci doubtfully.

"Are you really going to let us go?"

"Before I change my mind, you'd better get out of here!"

The two nodded quickly and turned around and ran.

"General, are you just letting them go?"

"Well, I was waiting for them anyway. Okay, it's time to go back to sleep and prepare to welcome the two kings tomorrow."

The deputy general didn't understand what Taishi Ci meant, but since he could go back to sleep, it was pretty good.

The next morning.

Taishi Ci was still sleeping when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"General, General."

Taishi Ci opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and opened the door.

The deputy general stood at the door.

"General, the two kings are here, but this king..."

Looking at the deputy general's hesitant look, Taishi Ci frowned with some dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong with you? I didn't see you being so timid when killing people on the battlefield. Why are you so timid now?"

"General, those two kings are both Han people."

"Oh, you are talking about this, I knew it a long time ago, I was just waiting for them."

After saying that, Taishi Ci came to the outside of the city gate. At this time, Liu Zhang and Shi Xie, accompanied by ten famous generals, were standing outside the city, waiting for Taishi Ci.

"You two came quite early, didn't you eat? Come and sit down and eat together."

Taishi Ci waved his hand, and someone brought over a table and chairs, as well as a bowl of rice porridge and braised meat.

Seeing Taishi Ci eating heartily, the two swallowed their saliva.

After receiving Taishi Ci's letter, the two did not even want to sleep, let alone eat.

Now they were so hungry that they couldn't help but eat with them.

Seeing the two people eating voraciously, Taishi Ci stopped what he was doing and waited quietly for them to finish.

When the two of them finished most of the rice porridge, they were full.

"You two have almost finished eating, right? Shouldn't you tell me what I told you in the letter?"

The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"It seems that you two have agreed to my proposal, but I want to tell you, if you dare to betray our King Lie, believe me, even if you are protected by the group of people behind you, I still have the ability to kill you. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Hearing this, the two of them immediately felt the threat of death, but Taishi Ci obviously did nothing.

A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!

"Don't worry, but I'm a little curious, why did the Prime Minister give Liangzhou to us?"

"The Prime Minister said that you two are both outstanding people and should not be under someone else for a long time. Giving you the territory is also to allow you to expand faster. Your independence will naturally share the pressure with us, so this is a win-win situation for us."

"Okay."

After a meal, this meal also determined the ownership of Liangzhou.

Taishi Ci took everyone and completely left Liangzhou, and the coalition forces also occupied the entire Liangzhou.

At the same time, the two told Sun Jian and Cao Cao the news.

They were also very excited when they heard the news.

And after discussion, they issued orders at the same time, asking them to continue the attack and strive to reach Sili.

Looking at the order in his hand, Liu Zhang smiled helplessly. Isn't this too much for himself?

Shi Xie said helplessly: "This is to let us attract firepower and let Liu Bei focus on us, so that they can continue to attack Liu Bei and make him unable to take care of both ends, but in the end, we will be the only ones who will be sacrificed."

"In fact, sometimes I think about it, what Zhuge Liang said is right. We all have such strength, why should we listen to Cao Cao and Sun Jian? Now Liu Bei also has five legendary generals. Cao Cao and Sun Jian certainly dare not send legendary generals over. After all, they have been away for too long and will be discovered, so they can only send famous generals, but we have nearly 20 famous generals in our hands. Are you afraid of them?"

After discussion, the two finally decided to keep their troops in place.

Since they had not received any battle reports, Cao Cao was a little impatient and began to ask Liu Zhang why there was no movement.

But Liu Zhang's reply was that they were repairing.

Cao Cao immediately felt something was wrong.

According to the information he got, when Liu Zhang and Shi Xie were robbing Liangzhou, they did not encounter any decent obstacles at all. How could there be such a thing as repairing, and it took so long to repair.

Cao Cao already had some bad feelings in his heart.

Sun Jian encountered the same thing.

Gu Rubing had not withdrawn troops from the front line, so Sun Jian had to stop expanding and could only consolidate the territory he had obtained.

But Cangwu County was like a nail stuck in Jiaozhou, which made Sun Jian feel uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.

Not only Sun Jian, but Meng Huo was also very unhappy at this time.

After several times of poisoning, Gu Rubing was not affected at all. Meng Huo even suspected that there was something wrong with his poison.

It was not until Meng Huo caught a few Yizhou soldiers and tested it himself that Meng Huo was sure that there was absolutely no problem with his poison gas. Anyone who smelled the poison gas would definitely die. Since there was no problem with himself, then the problem was Gu Rubing.

Meng Huo came directly to Zhou Yu's camp.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

"General, there must be no problem with my poison. Can you help me check why Liu Bei's army can resist my poison?"

Zhou Yu did not expect that Meng Huo was actually entangled in this matter.

"There's no need to check this. We all know why. Liu Bei has a miracle doctor named Hua Tuo. He is the miracle doctor of the Han Dynasty. Your poison should be cured by him."

"Impossible. My poison has no cure."

Meng Huo shook his head directly. He knew very well what his poison looked like. It was impossible for anyone to cure his poison.

"I'm going to find that Hua Tuo. Where is that Hua Tuo now?"

When Zhou Yu heard this, his frown suddenly opened.

Yes! Why didn't he think of it? Since he couldn't continue to fight Gu Rubing head-on, he would start from the side. As long as he killed Hua Tuo, without Hua Tuo's protection, Liu Bei's army would not know how many people would die.

"According to our spies, Hua Tuo is in Guiyang County, Jingzhou. Are you sure you want to go? That's Gu Rubing's rear base."

Meng Huo hesitated and nodded.

Seeing Meng Huo's insistence, Zhou Yu didn't say anything else.

In fact, Zhou Yu wanted Meng Huo to go. Whether Meng Huo succeeded or not was a good thing for him.

The number of legendary generals of the Gu tribe exceeded the number of legendary generals owned by Jiangdong. Once the Gu tribe turned against them, with such strange means of attack, plus the support of two legendary generals, Jiangdong would definitely not be the opponent.

If Meng Huo died in Liu Bei's hands, Jiangdong would certainly lose some of its strength, but it would definitely be delicious in the future. If he didn't die, it meant that Meng Huo succeeded and killed Hua Tuo, which meant that Liu Bei had no logistical support. Once the war started, he would win.

The conversation between the two had long been heard by the soldiers guarding outside the door.

After the handover, the soldiers quietly left the camp and quickly passed the news to Gu Rubing in a special way.

When he saw the information, Gu Rubing laughed directly.

He didn't understand how confident Meng Huo was that he dared to kill Hua Tuo behind him.

You must know that Hua Tuo was the key person protected by Gu Rubing. No matter who wanted to approach Hua Tuo, they would be reported immediately and blocked at the same time. Only with Gu Rubing's consent could the person enter.

"Zilong, go to Hua Tuo. Meng Huo is going to assassinate Hua Tuo."

"Assassinate Mr. Hua Tuo?"

Zhao Yun heard this and a burst of anger appeared in an instant.

Hua Tuo was the benefactor of everyone present. Everyone had received treatment from Hua Tuo. When he heard that Hua Tuo was in danger, even Guan Yu, who had never been very willing to speak, stood up and wanted to go for Zhao Yun.

Seeing the generals around him, all of whom knew how to repay their gratitude, Gu Rubing smiled with relief, but still rejected Guan Yu's request.

You know, Guan Yu is Gu Rubing's biggest trump card. As long as Guan Yu is there, the opponent's legendary generals will not dare to act presumptuously. Zhao Yun has not grown up yet and cannot be as deterrent as Guan Yu.

Seeing that Gu Rubing disagreed, Guan Yu had no choice but to tell Zhao Yun that if there was a chance, he should kill Meng Huo directly.

Zhao Yun nodded and quickly rushed to Guiyang County.

Gu Rubing didn't want Zhou Yu to find his weaknesses, so he simply let Guan Yu, with the rest of the people, start to provoke the opponent's legendary generals.

Originally, Gu Rubing thought that without Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and his men might suffer a little, but at least they would not let the opponent idle.

But who knew that because of Huang Zhong's existence, Sun Ce was still suppressed by Guan Yu. (End of this chapter)
