"This... After all, King Lie, you have not fulfilled your promise to me yet. You can't let me wait in vain, right? Besides, haven't I been the one who suffered the most so far?"

Sun Jian gave a helpless smile and subconsciously looked at Zhuge Liang on the city wall in the distance.

Gu Rubing saw that when Sun Jian looked at Zhuge Liang on the city wall, there was fear in his eyes.

What did the Prime Minister do to them? Didn't this scare the children?

"Okay, you don't have to look. I have no intention of attacking you. This time I am here to read the imperial edict to you on behalf of His Majesty. Is this how you treat His Majesty's envoy?"

"Your Majesty's messenger? Isn't that a eunuch?"

When Zhou Yu's voice fell, all the Jiaozhou soldiers in the camp laughed.

"What are you talking about? Take my spear if you can!"

As he said this, Zhang Fei prepared to take action.

"Third brother!"

Gu Rubing immediately stopped Zhang Fei.

With Gu Rubing's order, Zhang Fei didn't dare to say anything and could only snort coldly.

"Sun Zhou Mu, you have to think carefully. What I have in my hand is an imperial edict, and what is written on it is far better than what you want. Are you sure you don't want it?"

"Better?"

Sun Jian had already started to make plans in his mind.

What I want is to be the governor of Jiaozhou, or even better, above the governor of a state? To be a marquis, or a king? To be an official in Xudu? To deprive me of my territory in disguise?

Thinking of this, the smile on Sun Jian's face gradually faded.

It was simply a pipe dream for Liu Bei to think that he could deprive himself of everything with just an imperial edict.

When Sun Jian thought of this, he looked at Gu Rubing with a gloomy expression.

"King Lie, I wonder what exactly is written on this imperial edict."

Gu Rubing opened the imperial edict, hesitated for a moment, and then handed it to Sun Jian.

"I am too lazy to read it. You can read this imperial edict yourself. But from today on, I can no longer call you Sunzhou Mu."

"Hmm? What do you mean? Does King Lie want me to go back to Xudu?"

Sun Jian opened the imperial edict with a gloomy face and looked at it casually. When he saw that Sun Jian was to be made a king and given the title of Wu, his eyes widened.

"I'm here to congratulate King Wu."

Gu Rubing smiled, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

When Sun Jian saw Gu Rubing was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped him.

"King Wu, is there anything else?"

"King Lie, you gave me this, how do you want me to repay you? But let me make it clear first, if it's an alliance with you, I think it's better to forget it. Whether it's an alliance with Cao Cao or with you, I will only be cannon fodder in the end. An alliance with Cao Cao is at least an alliance, but an alliance with you means I will become a subordinate, and I won't even have the face to resist."

"I don't need you to do anything, just don't let me down."

Gu Rubing didn't turn around, waved his hand, and went straight back into the city.

Looking at Gu Rubing's back, Sun Jian thought for a long time, but finally shook his head and said nothing.

After returning to the city, Zhuge Liang immediately came to Gu Rubing.

"My lord, I have spread the news that Sun Jian has been made the King of Wu to Yizhou. I believe that within a few days, Cao Cao will know this news. Now, there are four princes in the world, including the West, and three of them have been made kings. I think Cao Cao should be anxious."

"Haha, I can now imagine what Cao Cao's expression would be when he finds out."

Although the two were joking, neither of them looked relaxed.

They knew clearly that both armies had already retreated, and the last one they faced was also the most troublesome one, Cao Cao.

Gu Rubing simply stopped for a while, without bringing any reinforcements, and only brought Zhao Yun with him, and rushed to Ba County.

At this time, Ba County was in Linjiang City.

Pang De and Wei Yan couldn't help but frown when they looked at Cao Cao's 100,000 Yizhou troops outside the city.

"We have been fighting for such a long time, and Jingzhou has not given us any reinforcements, but Cao Cao and his men have already sent three waves of reinforcements. How many people does Cao Cao have left? We only have 20,000 Taishan bandits left, and Cao Cao has 100,000 men from the beginning. As one increases, the other decreases. If this continues, who can hold on?"

Facing Wei Yan's muttering, Pang De also felt a little tired.

During this period of time, Pang De did not have a good rest for a single day. The insufficient number of famous generals and the lack of reinforcements were all disadvantages. So once the enemy attacked the city, everyone would need to go forward, even a famous general like him.

If demolition of civilian houses had not already begun, there might not even be enough rolling logs to defend the city.

Just hold on a little longer, reinforcements will arrive soon, and then it will be time for us to counterattack.

While the two were talking, the Xiahou brothers came with their men to attack the city again.

This time, for some unknown reason, in addition to the Xiahou brothers, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which were one of the few special troops in Cao Cao's hands, led the siege.

As cavalry, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has the greatest lethality on the plains. Even when attacking a city before, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry would only be placed at the end to prevent two people from breaking out of the city.

The reason why Cao Cao ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to take action was entirely because of the information deliberately released by Zhuge Liang.

That is, Sun Jian was crowned king.

Before Cao Cao occupied Xu Du, he did not make himself a king. Liu Bei first made himself the King of Yi, and then the King of Wu. In the world today, there are only four princes, and three of them are kings. What about himself?

When Cao Cao learned that Sun Jian was crowned king, he finally understood why Sun Jian had been working but not putting in any effort. It turned out that he was just playing with himself.

Cao Cao threw the food in his hand to the ground and ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to join the battle.

With the participation of the special army Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the only 20,000 Taishan tiger bandits left in the city could no longer hold on.

Just when Pang De and Wei Yan were about to go to support the city wall, they were stopped by the Xiahou brothers who rushed up.

"Xiahou Dun, if you don't want to die, get out of my way."

"If you want to get through, you have to go through me first!"

Xiahou Dun sneered, swung the long sword in his hand, and rushed towards Pang De.

"If you want to get past Dunk, you have to deal with them. These two guys are not weak, so take care of yourselves."

After Wei Yan finished speaking, he swung the White Tiger Sun-Devouring Sword in his hand, and it collided with Xiahou Yuan's sword.

The two knives collided and sparks flew.

Wei Yan knew that he was now at a disadvantage and could not delay, so he directly used the last strike of the White Tiger Devouring Sun Sword Technique, White Tiger Devouring Sun.

With the bonus of +600% attack power, Wei Yan's sword can be said to be his strongest attack.

Xiahou Yuan took Wei Yan's attack head-on, feeling the power coming from his arms. He knew that this was an evenly matched opponent, so he naturally did not underestimate him. When he fought back, the strength in his hands continued to increase.

Wei Yan and Xiahou Yuan fought back and forth.

Pang De fought with Xiahou Dun in a more dangerous manner.

The Eight Gates Golden Lock Sword Technique was originally evolved from the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation and has extremely strong defensive power. With the combination of courage and good fighting skills and the characteristics of Doctor Lielie, the attack power has reached a terrifying +1700%, making up for the offensive shortcomings of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Sword Technique.

However, Pang De's aggressive attack style allowed Xiahou Dun to find his weakness.

When the two just fought, Pang De directly activated two major characteristics in order to end the battle quickly. This attack can be said to be Pang De's strongest attack. His idea was the same as Wei Yan's, both wanted to end the battle quickly.

But Xiahou Dun was also a top-notch general among the famous generals. How could he be killed instantly by Pang De?

Although Pang De's sword did not cause any substantial damage to Xiahou Dun, the tearing sound produced when the blade came into contact with the wind kept echoing in Xiahou Dun's ears. After taking Pang De's sword blow, Xiahou Dun almost fell to his knees.

Fortunately, the famous general's physique allowed him to stand tenaciously, otherwise if he really knelt on the ground, he would be in great danger.

Moreover, when competing against masters of their level, any small mistake could result in death, so Xiahou Dun dared not be careless.

In the battle with Pang De, Xiahou Dun was always retreating and dodging. When he really couldn't avoid it, Xiahou Dun would also withstand Pang De's attack, but each time he was repelled by the huge force from above.

After several exchanges, Xiahou Dun was surprised to find that Pang De's Eight Gates Golden Lock Sword Technique had great opening and closing powers, and its defense and attack powers were both extremely strong, but the only thing he had in mind was speed.

Humans are not gods; they also get tired and exhausted.

This kind of vigorous and aggressive fighting style looks impressive, and even the slightest touch could be fatal, but this way of attacking will also accelerate people's fatigue. Once Pang De feels a little tired, his attack speed, which is already slow, will become even slower. By then, even if Pang De has many flaws, it will be too easy for a master of Xiahou Dun's level to defeat or kill Pang De by targeting these flaws.

Pang De naturally knew what his shortcomings were. In addition, Xiahou Dun did not fight with him, but kept retreating and avoiding his attacks. He naturally knew Xiahou Dun's purpose.

But this is his disadvantage, an unavoidable disadvantage. If he were on a horse, the mount under his crotch might be able to make up for his disadvantage, but now he is defending the city, and his Xiliang BMW is of no use at all.

Now Pang De could only pray that the problem with Wei Yan could be solved quickly and come to help him.

But Pang De was indeed overthinking it. Wei Yan was just delaying now, and no one could resolve the battle in the quickest way.

The entire city wall was filled with roars and groans of pain. At this moment, the soldiers had turned into wild beasts, regarding their own kind as their food, and they were all bloodthirsty.

Led by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Yizhou army easily climbed up the city wall, and the Taishan Tiger Bandits tried to stop them.

But the Taishan Tiger Bandits are considered elite among ordinary soldiers, but they are nothing in front of those real elites.

The gap in the city wall became bigger and bigger, and the Taishan tiger bandits suffered heavy losses and could only retreat continuously.

Now the city wall can be said to belong to the Yizhou army.

Pang De and Wei Yan both saw this situation, but there was nothing they could do.

After Pang De forced Xiahou Dun back with a single blow, he looked at the situation on the battlefield and muttered to himself with some tiredness.

"If Jingzhou doesn't send reinforcements, we won't be able to defend Ba County!"

Xiahou Dun saw Pang De's tired look and was immediately overjoyed. He swung the knife in his hand and chopped at Pang De.

Pang De wanted to swing his sword to block, but Xiahou Dun's sword, which was so close to him, disappeared.

By the time Pound reacted, a strong wind came from behind him.

Pang De immediately put the Eight Gates Golden Lock Sword in his hand behind him.

There is a crisp "ding" sound.

Pound felt a huge force hitting his back, and his body couldn't help but move forward a few steps.

After standing firmly, Pound felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Pound, I will kill you with my next strike, but it's a pity. If this were on a horse, I might not be your opponent. But unfortunately, this is on the ground."

After saying this, Xiahou Dun moved very quickly and slashed at Pang De with the knife in his hand.

Pound resisted again.

However, at the moment when the two knives collided, Xiahou Dun's hand holding the knife suddenly loosened.

As Xiahou Dun's knife fell to the ground, Pang De lost his strength and leaned forward. Xiahou Dun then took out a short blade and stabbed Pang De's heart.

Bond was shocked, but it was obviously too late to twist his body and get rid of gravity.

Am I going to die here, Pang De? I'm sorry, Meng Qi, I can't go on with you. My lord, I lost. I can't defend Ba County anymore...

At this moment, although Pound had his eyes closed, he seemed to be able to see all the scenes from the past appearing before his eyes.

But soon, the coldness beneath his body pulled Bond back from his memories to reality.

Pang De opened his eyes and saw himself lying on the ground. Next to him stood a man in silver armor and holding a silver spear.

"Zilong?"

The person who came was Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun turned around, looked at Pang De and grinned.

"Gongming, wait for a while. Let me defend the city and then we can talk. The lord is here too. He is right behind us. You can go and protect him."

Pang De nodded when he heard this and stood up quickly. Only then did he realize that he had no injuries on his body, but for some reason, there seemed to be a footprint on his leg.

On the battlefield, Pang De had no time to think and immediately rushed to the direction where Gu Rubing was.

"Zhao Yun, have you forgotten the rules you legendary generals set among each other?"

"Of course I remember, but it depends on when. I don't believe that when we reach Xudu, Dian Wei and Xu Chu won't attack us ordinary soldiers?"

"Humph, you're just making up your mind."

Xiahou Dun knew that since Zhao Yun had arrived, all they had to do was delay time. The legendary generals in the camp must have sensed Zhao Yun's presence and would be able to arrive in a moment.

Zhao Yun naturally understood this matter.

Therefore, if he wanted to solve the problem at hand, he needed to kill the Xiahou brothers as soon as possible.

"Silver Dragon."

As the voice fell, a giant silver dragon appeared behind Zhao Yun and then gathered at the tip of the spear.

As Zhao Yun swung his silver spear, a huge silver dragon rushed out from the tip of the spear and rushed towards the Xiahou brothers.

After feeling Zhao Yun's attack, the two men even forgot to resist and just stood there in a daze, as if waiting for their own death.
