The people present did not react to this situation. As for Surilas's guards, they stood there blankly. Without their general, they did not know what to do.

Liu Zhang looked at everyone present and immediately shouted: "From today on, we in Anxi will completely break away from the Han Dynasty and no longer accept Cao Cao's command. We are us and we are independent."

The people in the hall waved their arms excitedly when they heard Liu Zhang's words.

When the crowd slowly dispersed, only Surena stayed.

"King, I know you want to lead us out of the Han Dynasty and don't want to be controlled by Cao Cao. It's not just because of us, but also because you want to get away from Cao Cao."

Hearing this, Liu Zhang looked at Surena.

He found that the person in front of him seemed to be somewhat similar to Zhuge Liang.

I had only heard Cao Cao say it before, but this time, I felt it again.

I had never told anyone in Anxi about the relationship between me and Cao Cao, but Surena actually figured it out.

"That's right, so whose side do you want to stand on?"

Surena looked at Liu Zhang.

"King, I want to ask you, does taking Liangzhou have anything to do with King Lie?"

Liu Zhang looked at Surena with some gloom in his eyes.

This plan of his was absolutely confidential, and he thought he had done it perfectly, how could anyone see it.

This Surena will be a person comparable to Zhuge Liang in the future.

Liu Zhang has already raised Surena's status to a very high level in his heart.

"What if I can say yes?"

Surena did not answer, but looked at Liu Zhang for a long time before nodding.

"If it is, it will be helpful for my future plans. If it is not, it will be a bit troublesome."

This reply was unexpected by Liu Zhang.

If it is true, then everything in front of them is an illusion, and they were completely deceived by Liu Zhang. This Surena did not seem angry at all.

"Aren't you angry? Did I lie to you?"

"Angry? What are you angry about? If you want to control Anxi, you must use some means. If you want to control an empire, how can you do it without any means? And I don't think this kind of deception is anything. Besides, our goals are the same, that's enough."

Surena didn't care about Liu Zhang's behavior, but focused his eyes on the map in front of him.

"Your Majesty, we have occupied Liangzhou at present. To be honest, it is of no use to us. Moreover, when we occupied Liangzhou, it was already an empty shell. There was nothing. Even the people were taken away by King Lie. There was no point for us to come to such a place."

Liu Zhang saw that Surena didn't care, so he cared so much, which made him look petty. So he simply put his energy on the plan Surena said.

"So what are you going to do?"

"Return Liangzhou and form an alliance with King Lie."

Liu Zhang had wanted to do this for a long time. When Gu Rubing told him, he was not indifferent to choosing allies, but he had been suppressed by Cao Cao at that time and had no choice. But now it is different, he is free.

In terms of choosing allies, he can make the final decision.

Gu Rubing is right. Instead of choosing Cao Cao, it is better to choose him.

At least he will not cheat himself.

"Okay, then do as you said, return Liangzhou and form an alliance with King Lie."

After Surena finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if the situation in Rome is the same as ours. Is the man named Shi Xie also controlled by Sun Jian and wants to get rid of Sun Jian's control?"

"Yes, you want to help them?"

Surena nodded.

Liu Zhang did not expect this.

Surena helped him because he and Shi Xie had a common enemy, but Shi Xie had no relationship with Surena, and because of Rome, both sides had some hatred. How could Surena take the initiative to help Rome?

"Yes, Your Majesty, Rome now has the same goal as us. While forming an alliance with King Lie, we must also strengthen our own strength. Only by joining forces with Rome can our trump card be considered thick, and King Lie will value us more. Otherwise, the result can only be the same as Cao Cao, who treats us as pawns."

With Surena's support, Liu Zhang found it much easier to do things.

He quickly sent an envoy to invite Shi Xie to come.

Shi Xie had heard a little about the situation in Anxi. After receiving Liu Zhang's invitation, he immediately came to Anxi to meet Liu Zhang.

"You are so fast. You have already taken action. Sun Jian's envoy is still in my palace. This time, this envoy came secretly without my knowledge. By the time I reacted, he was already in front of me. I had no way to refuse. What should I do?"

Looking at Shi Xie who was still hesitating, Liu Zhang didn't know what to say.

If it were him, he would definitely take action directly to get rid of this envoy. Anyway, he was going to rebel, so why not be more straightforward.

"Let me help you solve the envoy's problem, but I also have something to discuss with you. I represent the Parthian Empire."

Shi Xie naturally understood what Liu Zhang meant. Once he represented the empire, it was naturally a state affair. Shi Xie also sorted out his state and looked at Liu Zhang.

"Now I have taken control of the Parthian Empire, you should know this, and I also rebelled against Cao Cao, and you also rebelled against Sun Jian. Both of them have legendary generals, but we don't have any for the time being. Once the two really kill us, we will definitely not be able to stop them, so we want reinforcements, or we need a qualified ally."

"You are talking about Liu Bei."

Shi Xie is not stupid, and he can naturally understand what Liu Zhang means.

"Yes, but if we want to cooperate with Liu Bei, our own strength must be strong, so that we have the capital to cooperate, otherwise we can only be subordinates, which is the same as Cao Cao and Sun Jian now, they can only use us as pawns."

Shi Xie nodded, and he also agreed with this point.

"Now both of us have more than ten famous generals, but no legendary generals. Each of our strength is relatively strong, but it is not yet to the point where the Han Dynasty can pay attention to us, but if we combine together, I think even Liu Bei will have to pay attention to us, right?"

The two empires together have more than 20 famous generals. With this lineup, even Gu Rubing doesn't have it.

The only prerequisite is that no one uses legendary generals. After all, famous generals are still human beings, while legendary generals have long surpassed the scope of human beings.

"Okay, then we will form an alliance as you said, but before that, you have to help me get rid of the envoy sent by Sun Jian."

"No problem."

Two days later, news came from the Roman palace that a group of mysterious people suddenly entered the Roman palace and killed the Sun Jian envoy who was sitting on the throne, drinking wine and eating meat.

On the day the envoy died, Shi Xie announced an alliance with the Parthian Empire. The two now only use one name, that is, the Anluo Empire.

A brand new empire was born.

The first thing the Anluo Empire did after its establishment was to withdraw from Liangzhou. When it learned that Gu Rubing was in Cangwu County, it immediately sent an envoy to discuss cooperation.

Liu Zhang and Shi Xie, who had spent so much time in the Central Plains, certainly knew what Gu Rubing needed most. Worried that Gu Rubing would not agree to form an alliance with them, they directly sent an envoy to Cangwu County with a large amount of medicinal materials from Liangzhou.

When the envoy arrived in Cangwu County, it was the night when Sun Ce left.

When Gu Rubing learned that the envoy was coming, he immediately asked someone to bring the envoy to him.

Looking at the blond and blue-eyed man in front of him, I don’t know why the way I look at him feels like I’m looking at Zhuge Liang.

"Who are you?"

"Respected King Lie of the Han Dynasty, I am the envoy of the Anluo Empire, my name is Surena."

Zhuge Liang looked at Surena and asked directly: "What are you doing here?"

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\\\\Nine\\\\\\Book\\\\\\Bar!)

"Prime Minister Zhuge, right? I heard your name when I was in the Anluo Empire. It is said that you are a wise man. I like to talk to smart people. As for the purpose of my coming here, I think I don't need to say it. Prime Minister Zhuge should already know it, right?"

This is the first time that Zhuge Liang has encountered someone who does not play according to the routine.

I suddenly became interested.

"I do know, but I am just a little curious. Why do you think we will definitely cooperate with you?"

"Because of strength."

Hearing this, Gu Rubing laughed directly.

I am not unaware of the so-called strength of the Anluo Empire. The news has long been passed back by the captain of the mobile crossbow.

Indeed, more than 20 generals are indeed not a small number, but that's all.

In front of his legendary generals, he was nothing. Now this man dared to talk about strength in front of him. No matter how you think about it, it is easy to make people laugh.

However, Suleina didn't care about Gu Rubing's ridicule, but looked at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang fell into deep thought.

Gu Rubing was a little curious. Such a person dared to say such a thing. Why didn't Zhuge Liang object? Instead, he seemed to be thinking. Is it so difficult to refute such words?

It's no wonder that Gu Rubing wanted to ridicule. In Gu Rubing's view, the power of the West, no matter what, can't be stronger than the current Han Dynasty. This is a fixed impression, and it can't be changed by more than 20 generals.

But Gu Rubing forgot that the so-called Western power is led by the princes of the Han Dynasty. Its strength is not much worse than the current Han Dynasty. Moreover, the Han Dynasty has not yet completed the final unification.

Zhuge Liang's thoughts are naturally more comprehensive than Gu Rubing.

"Your Anluo Empire does have some strength, but it is not enough in front of us. However, we don't want to give up an ally like this. We can consider the alliance. The envoy can stay here first. After we have discussed it, we will talk in detail. What do you think?"

Surena certainly had no objection.

After Surena left, Gu Rubing looked at Zhuge Liang and was a little confused.

"Prime Minister, this person is so arrogant, do we really need to talk to him? Can't we talk directly to Liu Zhang or Shi Xie?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head immediately after hearing this.

"My Lord, you underestimate this person too much. The strength he said does not refer to the strength of the Anluo Empire, but to the strength of the other two people, Cao Cao and Sun Jian."

Gu Rubing was stunned after hearing this.

He realized that he had just thought about it incompletely.

This strength is not the An Luo Empire, but refers to the fact that the An Luo Empire has more than 20 famous generals in its hands. Such strength is indeed nothing nowadays, but if the An Luo Empire joins Cao Cao or Sun Jian, they can quickly defeat the other party. Growth can even threaten one's position in the Central Plains.

This is also Surena’s biggest trump card.

Only then did Gu Rubing realize that his initial feeling when seeing Surena was correct. This time Zhuge Liang had met his opponent.

"Lord, leave this person to me. You can concentrate on dealing with it and just deal with the meeting with Sun Jian tomorrow night."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Looking at Zhuge Liang's back, Gu Rubing didn't know why, but felt that Zhuge Liang was very excited, as if he had met an opponent, and he felt excited.

Early the next morning.

As soon as Gu Rubing walked out of the room, he saw Sun Shangxiang standing not far outside his room, holding a stone in his hand.

When he saw Gu Rubing coming out, Sun Shangxiang hurriedly put the hand holding the stone behind his back.

Zhao Yun, who was standing behind, walked helplessly in front of Gu Rubing and blocked Sun Shangxiang with his body.

"My lord, the little witch wants to see you. If I tell you that you are resting, she will smash the door with a stone."

Seeing that Zhao Yun actually revealed his plan, Sun Shangxiang suddenly became unwilling and came directly behind Zhao Yun and kicked Zhao Yun in the butt.

But as a legendary military general, how could Zhao Yun not know Sun Shangxiang's little move and stand up straight.

Sun Shangxiang's kick did not knock Zhao Yun badly, but he fell directly to the ground because of too much force.

After Sun Shangxiang yelled, he got up from the ground, pinched his waist with both hands, pointed at Zhao Yun and shouted.

"Zhao Zilong, how could you do this to me? I am your lord and you are a guest. How dare you hit me?"

Gu Rubing laughed helplessly when he saw this.

Zhao Yun's face turned red at this time. If it weren't for Gu Rubing being here, he would have turned around and left.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet. If you are causing trouble, Sun Shangxiang, don't blame me. I threw you to your father. You should have escaped secretly? What kind of punishment will you receive after you go back? You yourself It should be clear in your mind.”

Sun Shangxiang looked at Gu Rubing, snorted, turned around and ran away.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun still wanted to tell Gu Rubing that he no longer wanted to follow Sun Shangxiang, but Gu Rubing seemed to know what Zhao Yun was going to say and turned around and ran away without giving Zhao Yun a chance to speak.

Looking at Gu Rubing's back, Zhao Yun could only lower his head helplessly and walked in the direction of the crazy little witch. (End of chapter)
