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

Chapter 340: Furious Sun Jian, the entire army prepares for battle!
Looking at the military sticks filling the tent, Cao Cao felt like a thousand horses were galloping in his heart. After Dian Wei placed the military stick on the tent, he clapped his hands and said.

"My Lord, there are more outside. I'll bring them in for you."

Cao Cao held his forehead when he heard this.

"No, no, don't move it in."

"Oh."

After Dian Wei finished speaking, he stood aside and looked at Cao Cao, who pointed at the military sticks scattered on the ground with gritted teeth.

"Take these away too!"

"Then why do you let me receive fifty military sticks?"

Dian Wei muttered softly, quickly picked up the military stick on the ground, and walked out of the camp.

"I didn't realize that General Dian Wei is such a sentimental person. When he said the leader's stick, he really meant the leader's stick. No wonder he just said it was inevitable. It turns out that he thought it was the leader's stick."

"So cute, so adorable. Who would have thought that Dian Wei, who could fight with the Second Master for a few moves on the battlefield, is actually like this in private."

"So Cao Zhonger likes this type of guy. No wonder Xu You is not favored."

"Dian Wei has a pure heart and is truly loyal to Cao Zhonger. In addition, he is strong and obedient. Who wouldn't want such a general? Although Xu You is capable, his emotional intelligence is too low. He was like this before with Yuan Shao. He offended almost everyone with his mouth. Now it's the same with Cao Zhonger. He offended Cao Zhonger as soon as he arrived and said in front of everyone that Cao Zhonger lost the big picture for the small. This had a great impact on Cao Zhonger. Fortunately, Cao Zhonger was firm enough."

"Not only Dian Wei, but Xu Chu are also pure-hearted. That's why they are trusted by Cao Zhonger. Even if they were defeated, Cao Zhonger was not angry at all. Instead, he comforted them. Look at them yesterday afternoon when they lost to me. They came back to Cao Zhonger and cried their eyes out. They were really upset. Cao Zhonger and them have similar personalities. That's why they can do this."

"Xu You, to put it bluntly, is a minister who surrendered to the enemy. Even a man like Cao Zhonger who loves talents would not like such a person very much. No one would like a person who surrendered to the enemy, even if that person surrendered to his own school."

"Dian Wei and Xu Chu are such a funny couple. They have the strength and emotional value, and they can also make people laugh. No wonder Cao Zhonger couldn't bear to scold them after the defeat."

Dian Wei's performance also attracted discussions from countless netizens. After all, in real life, people with such a pure heart are really prejudiced, or even non-existent. For a while, the popularity of Dian Wei and Xu Chu skyrocketed. Some netizens even made a joke about Dian Wei leading the army with a stick, and coupled with the fact that Cao Cao deducted his meal, the traffic was particularly good and he made a lot of money.

Back to the live broadcast room, at this moment Cao Cao was listening to the reports from Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu in the big tent.

"My lord, when Liu Bei was chasing us today, he used a very special crossbow. The wound on my shoulder was caused by that crossbow."

Xiahou Dun touched the bandaged wound on his shoulder with lingering fear. If he had not been able to sense the situation and block most of the crossbow arrows, he might have really capsized in the ditch and been killed by that strange crossbow.

"Special? What special method?"

Cao Cao asked in confusion, how could a crossbow be so special? Could it be that with current technology, it is still possible to create a crossbow that can fire continuously? I tried it when I first entered, but I couldn't do it at all.

"The crossbow can fire continuously."

Hearing this, Cao Cao immediately sat up straight. Having felt the power of semi-automatic crossbows, he knew clearly the difference between crossbowmen and archers. With the same loading speed, the power was very different, and the same was true for the attack distance. However, if the crossbow could be the same as the modern crossbow, then this problem would be solved. At that time, crossbowmen would become one of the most powerful arms.

"Not only can it fire continuously, but that strange crossbow is also much more powerful. At that time, I was a full hundred meters away from Liu Bei, the big-eared thief. According to the standard crossbows equipped by the army today, it was impossible to penetrate the armor on my shoulders."

Xiahou Dun frowned and said that his upper body armor was extremely hard, and even if it was close, the crossbow arrows would have difficulty penetrating it, let alone a distance of more than a hundred meters. Moreover, after the crossbow arrows pierced through the armor, they went three inches into the flesh, which showed how powerful it was.

Hearing this, Cao Cao was completely paralyzed. What was going on? Did Liu Bei really develop a semi-automatic crossbow? If so, Liu Bei's strength would probably be greatly improved. How would he deal with Liu Bei then?

"Can you still remember what that crossbow looked like?"

Cao Cao's mood, which had just improved because of Dian Wei, now became gloomy because of Xiahou Dun's words.

"It's not much different from a bow and crossbow, except that the place where the crossbow arrows are loaded is a little higher."

Xiahou Dun carefully recalled the bows and crossbows he had seen, but he could no longer remember any more details.

"Okay, I understand. Go and heal your wounds first."

Cao Cao was the only one left in the big tent, and he was in a very bad mood.

The situation was originally very good. He and Sun Jian were about to capture Liu Bei. However, Sun Jian lost contact first, and it was suspected that he had betrayed the alliance. It was even possible that he had killed the soldiers he sent to deliver the letter.

Then, after he had worked hard to conquer a large part of Bingzhou's territory, and only Taiyuan County was left, he suffered a Waterloo. Not only did he fail to capture Taiyuan County, but he also lost tens of thousands of soldiers. Now he learned that Liu Bei seemed to have developed a rapid-fire crossbow.

"Cao Zhonger was stunned. All he could say was that Mr. Wolong's value was still rising. Liu Caoxie went to Jingzhou with the intention of targeting Wolong. It was just like what Liu Caoxie and Zhao Yun said. It turned out that Mr. Wolong could really help them turn defeat into victory."

"Zhuge Liang has used many strategies since he appeared on the stage, and he also gave Liu Bei the Zhuge Crossbow. It would be strange if he didn't win."

"This Zhuge Crossbow is really a bit abnormal in this kind of game. Using a semi-automatic weapon to deal with some single-shot weapons, isn't this a crushing defeat?"

"I'm a little suspicious now. Is Zhuge Liang also a player? Or a hidden player? Why can't I see his live broadcast room?"

"There is no doubt that Zhuge Liang is definitely not a player. When this game first started live streaming, I looked at all the anchors and there was definitely no Zhuge Liang among them, unless Zhuge Liang didn't have a live streaming room."

"Zhuge Liang is really amazing. He can even make something like this. Is there any big guy who can explain the principle of this Zhuge Crossbow? I feel like it shouldn't appear in the era of their game."

"According to my observation, this Zhuge Crossbow is used with one hand. After a crossbow arrow is shot out, the bowstring pops out and the trigger rebounds. There should be two levers inside. After the trigger rebounds, it will pull the lever, and at the same time drive another lever, and then drive the bowstring back. At this time, the crossbow arrow automatically falls down, and the crossbow arrow is strung again, and it can be triggered again. Of course, these are all my guesses. In reality, I am just a gatekeeper."

"Fuck, you're an engineering guy, you can tell the principle after just two glances?"

"Dude, you didn't finish reading what he said, did you?"

"You almost fooled me, bro. That's amazing."

In Taiyuan County, Guan Yu's wound was bandaged. He was looking at the Zhuge Liannu with great interest, wanting to study how it was done. He almost took the crossbow apart, but got nothing. Gu Rubing and the other two were talking and laughing, enjoying the conversation. During the exchange, Guan Yu found that Zhuge Liang not only had outstanding military ability, but also had unique political ability. In addition, his ability in classics was also unique. After some communication, Guan Yu was directly conquered by Zhuge Liang's personal charm, and recognized this gentleman invited by his elder brother from Nanyang County from the bottom of his heart.

After some instructions, Gu Rubing left all the soldiers except the Bai Li soldiers to Guan Yu, to recover the lost land of Bingzhou. Before the two sides parted, Zhuge Liang handed Guan Yu two brocade bags in front of Gu Rubing. Looking at Guan Yu's expression, Gu Rubing couldn't help but smile slightly.

"This is Mr.'s habit. He has different ways of dealing with different things."

Guan Yu then took the two brocade bags, and Zhuge Liang also smiled.

"General Yunchang, if Cao Cao launches a counterattack on Bingzhou and is defeated, open the brocade bag on the right at the last moment, and you will know what to do. On the contrary, if the lost territory is recovered smoothly and the entire Bingzhou is successfully taken, open the brocade bag on the left, and then you will naturally know what I mean."

"Thank you, sir, Yunchang."

Guan Yu bowed and thanked him.

"Second brother, take care of yourself! Remember, life is the most important thing. Nothing is more important than life. As long as there is life, there is hope."

"Thank you for your teachings, brother."

Guan Yu said solemnly, then turned and bowed to Zhuge Liang beside him.

"I still don't quite understand some things about Confucian classics. Next time I meet you, I will definitely ask you to help me solve my doubts."

"Wait, General."

Zhuge Liang bowed and saluted.

The two parties parted ways.

At the same time that Gu Rubing set out to return to Qingzhou, Sun Jian of Yangzhou finally received the second battle report.

In the evening, when a celebration banquet was being held for Zhou Yu, another battle report was delivered to the banquet, and Sun Jian's face was flushed.

"Hahaha, Ding Ding Gongjin sent a victory report. I guess he has already captured Guangling City and is on his way back to Yangzhou."

Sun Jian laughed loudly and said to the soldier holding the battle report.

"You, read the battle report."

The soldier hesitated and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but Sun Jian did not notice anything strange about the soldier. He drank the wine in the glass and continued speaking.

"What are you still standing there for? Read the battle report."

Seeing this, the soldier had no choice but to open the letter and read it truthfully.

"My lord, I am glad to see your letter. Gongjin did not fight and failed to take Guangling City. He is now on his way back to Yangzhou. Zhang He, a subordinate of Liu Bei, is leading a large army to Jiujiang County. I hope you can send people to support him as soon as possible. Zhou Yu will let you punish him - Zhou Gongjin."

After the soldier finished reading the battle report, he knelt on the ground, his forehead covered with cold sweat. Sun Jian had not put down the wine glass he was holding high, and the smile on his face had not yet frozen.

The next moment, the jade cup exploded in Sun Jian's hand, with a frozen smile still on his face.

"Zhang Liao! Liu Bei! I will make sure you live in agony and die in agony!"

Sun Jian said through gritted teeth.

"Send a message to the three armies! Prepare for war! Everyone, have a wartime meeting!"

...Soon after, military orders were issued from the lobby.

"Gan Ning, lead 50,000 elite soldiers, and Lu Xun as the military advisor, rush to support Gu Yong of Yuzhang County. Make sure to suppress the Jingzhou army! No mistakes are allowed."

"Sun Ce, lead 30,000 cavalrymen, with Yu Fan as the military advisor, and chase Zhang Fei and his men from the south to the north in Yuzhang County. Even if we don't kill Zhang Fei, we must make sure that he can't fight again!"

"I will personally lead the rest of the army and head straight to Jiujiang County!"

"Throw away all the scouts. What's the point of keeping them in Yangzhou? Send them all to the battlefield to gather intelligence and send a message to Cao Cao. Send out all the troops to attack Liu Bei and make sure he takes Bingzhou. Put pressure on Liu Bei!"

"Send a message to Zhou Yu. There is no need to return to Jiangdong. Go directly to Jiujiang County from Xuzhou. If we can't kill Zhang Liao, then killing Zhang Fei will do the same!"

This time, Sun Jian was furious and mobilized all his troops, vowing to fight Gu Rubing to the death.

At the same time, Zhang He led an army of 100,000 to meet up with the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun led by Zhang Fei. The brocade bag pointed out the direction of the meeting and what should be done after the meeting. The other 30,000 troops were left behind by Zhang He to garrison Guangling City. At the same time, Hua Tuo was also left in Guangling to treat Zhang Liao with all his strength. Xu Rong came from Qingzhou to replace Zhang He to guard Guangling City. At the same time, he served as the reserve military town for Zhang Fei and Zhang He, ready to support them at any time.

Compared with the stability after the Taiyuan attack and defense, after the Guangling City attack and defense, the people of the entire Guangling City were praising Gu Rubing's name for benevolence and righteousness. This time, these people truly realized that the title of a benevolent and righteous army was not just talk.

Gu Rubing, who was thousands of miles away, was seeing his virtue attributes rising rapidly at this moment, but he was on his way back to Qingzhou and was unaware of this.

The Jingzhou army, led by General Huang Zhong, was currently attacking and seizing cities in Yuzhang County. Although the Jingzhou army was large in number, they were not all veterans after all. There was still some gap between them and the Jiangdong army led by Gu Yong. This led to the fact that although the Jingzhou army was powerful and led by the veteran Huang Zhong, after just a few days, they had only managed to capture one military town and three cities, and it took such a long time.

The main reason for this situation was that Yuzhang County was vast and sparsely populated, and Jingzhou had not fought for a long time. After several bloody battles, the Jingzhou army finally looked like a regular army.

At this moment, the Jingzhou army is stationed in Jianchang City, waiting for news from Jiujiang County in the north. Once fighting breaks out in Jiujiang County, Huang Zhong will lead his troops directly to attack Jiancheng. Jiancheng is the last line of defense of Nanchang City, the seat of Yuzhang County. As long as Jiancheng can be captured, it means that almost half of the territory has fallen into the pocket of Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

Liu Biao was stationed in the rear of Jingzhou and at the same time recruited soldiers on a large scale throughout Jingzhou. He had already felt the pressure from the three giants, Gu Rubing, Sun Jian and Cao Cao. Any one of these three princes, and any general from their armies, could easily crush his Jingzhou army.

Liu Biao, who realized the situation later, was extremely grateful that he did not go down a dead end. He thought it through at the critical moment and joined forces with Liu Bei to deal with Jiangdong. Otherwise, when Sun Jian and Cao Cao joined forces to deal with Liu Bei, he would definitely be the next to suffer. Now in Jingzhou, it was like a child carrying gold walking through a busy city.
