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

Chapter 343: Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao, Sun Ce Challenges

Taishi Ci has been commanding scouts for a long time and is very familiar with the scouts' individual combat capabilities. It can be said that scouts are elites selected from various armies to serve as scouts. But at the same time, the disadvantage of not being able to assemble on a large scale also limits them, making them doomed to have no ability to fight back when facing slightly larger forces.

However, if every scout could be equipped with one of these continuous crossbows, then the scouts' combat effectiveness could be described as terrifying. This crossbow could not only fire continuously, but Taishi Ci could also clearly feel that its accuracy was much stronger than that of similar crossbows.

As for the power, there is no need to say more. It is shocking enough that it can hit an armored straw man three hundred meters away, and it can even penetrate the armor. This kind of power can easily take a person's life within three hundred meters, no, even four hundred meters.

"My lord, can you give me one of these crossbows?"

Taishi Ci asked excitedly. As a master of bows and arrows, Taishi Ci could not refuse Zhuge Liannu, which subverted the understanding of bows and crossbows.

"Hahahaha, Ziyi, don't get excited. There will definitely be one for you. I plan to equip all the 500 scouts led by you and Zilong with Zhuge Crossbows."

Gu Rubing said with a smile that he had anticipated Taishi Ci's reaction. After all, except for him, everyone would be shocked by something that overturned common sense.

"Thank you, my lord, and thank you, military advisor."

Taishi Ci was extremely excited. He played with Zhuge's crossbow and refused to let go. Under Zhuge Liang's guidance, he reloaded ten arrows into the crossbow. This time, Taishi Ci had experience, and he fired ten arrows in succession. The sound of whoosh, whoosh, whoosh breaking through the air was endless.

Another ten shots, all of them hit the target. This terrifying accuracy can almost be said to be the one that hits the target wherever he points. The more Taishi Ci looks at it, the more he likes it, and the more he uses it, the more he wants to use it.

"My lord, once the scouts are equipped with this kind of crossbow, they can be turned into a steel knife for us, directly piercing the enemy's internal organs. I think it will not be a problem for us to come and go freely in the enemy's heartland."

Taishi Ci said, holding a crossbow in his hand, his face full of excitement. Gu Rubing patted Taishi Ci on the shoulder, and suddenly his heart moved. After opening Taishi Ci's panel, he was shocked to find that Taishi Ci's famous general points were full, and the experience value was only 5 away from being promoted to a famous general.

This means that in the near future, Taishi Ci will become the third famous general under his command. However, what Gu Rubing doesn't know is that Zhang Liao has already been promoted to a famous general, and Taishi Ci will be the fourth general under his command.

As for Zhuge Liang, he became a famous minister as soon as he recovered the city, and he had 99 experience points. After several battles, Zhuge Liang's experience points were full, but his legendary counselor points started from 0. However, this war that affected the entire Central Plains was planned by Zhuge Liang, and Gu Rubing also focused on helping Zhuge Liang become famous, so Zhuge Liang's legendary counselor points now had a full points.

Is it a lot? In fact, Gu Rubing thought it was not a lot. They defeated Zhou Yu and held Guangling, defeated Cao Cao and held Taiyuan, and at the same time caused Cao Cao and Sun Jian to have a rift in their hearts, so that there would be no possibility of an alliance. Half of the territory of the three counties of Yangzhou was already in their hands. Now all of Sun Jian’s troops were forced to gather in the three counties in the west of Yangzhou.

This kind of victory in a large-scale war, attacking two major princes and defeating them all, and at the same time changing the current situation, this kind of result is really not much to give only forty legendary counselor points.

Thinking of this, Gu Rubing was very happy. He knew clearly how much improvement these first-rate military generals or first-rate strategists would bring when they were promoted to famous generals or famous ministers. For example, Guan Yu originally had more fighting characteristics, but when he was promoted to a famous general, he used military force to stabilize the country, which directly made Guan Yu a talented general who could command the three armies.

There is also Xi Zhicai. The natural jealousy that came with his promotion to a famous official is also a top-level characteristic. Gu Rubing believes that with Taishi Ci's performance, he is destined to obtain a very powerful characteristic. As for what reward Zhuge Liang will get for his promotion to a legendary counselor, Gu Rubing has no idea. After all, he still does not have a legendary counselor or legendary general under his command until now.

"Ziyi, don't worry. Didn't I just tell you that the first batch of one thousand Zhuge Crossbows will be given priority to the scouts led by you and Zilong. When these scouts are able to fight alone, I will allocate thousands of elite cavalry to you. You will lead their training and each of them will be equipped with a Zhuge Crossbow."

Retracting his thoughts, Gu Rubing smiled and said that among his subordinates, the one who was most suitable for training scouts was undoubtedly Taishi Ci. Firstly, he was good at horse riding, which was indispensable for scouts. Secondly, Taishi Ci was a first-class archery master. He believed that the soldiers he trained would not be too bad. At least they would be able to quickly master the Zhuge Crossbow. As for horseback archery and moving targets, this kind of training would be a relatively long process.

"Thank you, my lord. I will not let you down. I will train them to be the best of the best, and I will not let the military advisor's inventions be tarnished in my hands!"

Taishi Ci knelt on one knee and spoke loudly, and Gu Rubing quickly helped Taishi Ci up.

"Ziyi, I've told you so many times, we are all brothers, there's no need to do this."

After hearing this, Taishi Ci scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Sir, what advice do you have on the current situation?"

Gu Rubing turned and spoke to Zhuge Liang who was standing beside him. Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Since Sun Jian has already mobilized all his troops to attack the three western counties of Yangzhou, the eastern part must be empty. In this case, we should first take Guangling and then go straight to Yangzhou. Even if we can't take Wu County, we can force Sun Jian to return to Wu County for assistance."

After hearing this, Gu Rubing nodded in agreement. The strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao had finally come true. The original plan of besieging Wei to save Zhao had never been implemented, and Gu Rubing thought it was a bug. Now he realized that Zhuge Liang had already planned for this step before the battle even started. One can only say that the Prime Minister is worthy of being the Prime Minister.

"General Yide, General Zilong, and General Junyi should be trapped in Chengde Military Town in Jiujiang County, Yangzhou. I asked Zilong to send some siege equipment to Yide and Junyi. I think the defense of Chengde Military Town should not be perfect now. We must attack Wu County, Yangzhou as quickly as possible to help the three of them relieve the pressure of Sun Jian's all-out attack."

Zhuge Liang held a feather fan in his hand and waved it slowly, his thoughts flying.

"From here to Yangzhou Wujun, even if we don't rest on the way, it will take at least three or four days to get there at the fastest. By the time the news of the massive siege reaches Sun Jian, it will probably take a day to travel 800 miles in an expedited manner. A round trip of five days means Zhou Yu will have arrived by then. General Yide and his men have 100,000 against 200,000, and the walls of Chengde Military Town have been destroyed. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long. We can only rely on whether the lord's miracle doctor is good enough."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Gu Rubing also had some guesses in his mind.

"Don't worry, sir. The divine doctor's medical skills are top-notch in the world. No one can surpass him. He should be able to buy us some time."

"That's great. Let's set off today, with General Ziyi leading the scouts as the vanguard. How about that?" Zhuge Liang asked Gu Rubing. Gu Rubing nodded immediately without any hesitation.

"Okay, everything is as you say, sir."

What a joke! There is a great man who can be called a human computer right next to me. Why should I bother thinking about those things? I will just attack wherever the prime minister points!

"Is there any big shot who can explain to me what Liu Caoxie and Mr. Wolong said? Did they speak Chinese? Why can't I understand? Why did they bring up Hua Tuo for no apparent reason? And why did they bring up delaying time again?"

"Dude, are you new to other live broadcast rooms? I suggest you find some online commentators and watch what happened before. Then you will roughly understand what they mean."

"I've been watching this, why don't I understand?"

"In fact, before the war, Wulong took away the miracle doctor beside Liu Caoxie and sent him to Zhang He. No one knew why at that time. It was not until Zhang Liao almost died in Guangling City that he figured out why the miracle doctor was sent to Zhang He. In fact, it was to save Zhang Liao's life. Xu Rong has now taken over Zhang Liao's position and stationed in Guangling City as a buffer zone established by Liu Caoxie between Xuzhou and Yangzhou. And what they meant by talking just now should be that after Hua Tuo cured Zhang Liao, he let Zhang Liao lead the 5,000 cavalry that Zhang He deliberately left in Guangling City at that time to attack Wujun."

"Boss, I understand what you said, but I have a question. Zhang Liao has already been in that state. Even if he saves his life, can he still lead the army?"

"You don't need a big shot to answer this question. I can answer it for you. I'm sure I can! Don't forget, this is a game world. When watching the live broadcast, don't put it into the real world. This! Is! a! game! world!"

"Game world, game world, game world, important things must be said three times."

Most people in the live broadcast room had their own guesses about the vague words of Gu Rubing and Zhuge Liang, but the general direction did not deviate from that Hua Tuo relied on his superb medical skills to revive Zhang Liao directly with full blood, and then Zhang Liao served as the vanguard to attack Wujun first. After all, Zhang Liao's combat power was there, and he always won with fewer troops. He didn't need much troops at all to kill the enemy troops that were several times larger than his own.

Zhuge Liang's idea was indeed similar to this. He thought that after Hua Tuo woke Zhang Liao up, it would be enough for Zhang Liao to stay in Guangling City. After all, Yangzhou did not have any extra troops to attack Guangling again. Then Xu Rong would lead 5,000 cavalry to attack Wujun.

However, Zhuge Liang never imagined how advanced Hua Tuo's medical skills were, nor did he imagine that Gu Rubing had a superb characteristic: I am destiny.

[Feature: I am destiny]

[Introduction: Because you have both the "Han Dynasty Clan Relative" and "Heaven's Mandate is in Me" traits, when you own two states, the trait will be upgraded to "I am Heaven's Mandate"!]

[Effect: When you and your generals and soldiers kill enemy soldiers, you will immediately recover 20% of your physical strength; all resources in the territory +50%!]

In other words, as long as Zhang Liao kills five people, he can recover all his physical strength. So as long as Zhang Liao can survive, he can recover all his physical strength. Coupled with the characteristics of the genius doctor Hua Tuo, saving Zhang Liao is a piece of cake.

On the parade ground, 350,000 Yellow Turban Army reserve troops had assembled in the parade ground, preparing to set off for Guangling City.

"Brothers, our brothers are being attacked by Sun thieves in Yangzhou, what should we do?"

Gu Rubing asked loudly while holding a double-edged sword. Although the Yellow Turban reservists below were not very strong in combat, after such a long period of training, they now had absolute faith in Gu Rubing. When they heard what Gu Rubing said, they roared in anger.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill all the Sun thieves!"

"kill!"

Gu Rubing, who had just rested for a short while, set out on the journey again with his army. This time, his goal was to completely capture Yangzhou and defeat Sun Jian. After that, he would use the land of the five continents and unite with Jingzhou to besiege Cao Cao, and then he could slowly encircle and suppress him.

And according to Zhuge Liang, observing the celestial phenomena at night, Liu Biao would not live much longer, so he had to make preparations in advance. After Liu Biao's death, he could naturally take over the entire Jingzhou, the wealthy Jingzhou, and the land of fish and rice, Yangzhou. With these two states, one providing money and the other providing food and grass, then it would be easy for Gu Rubing to unify the world.

On the other side, outside Chengde Military Town, Sun Ce was leading a team of cavalry to challenge the enemy under the city wall. Only one side of the city wall of Chengde Military Town was destroyed, and it was not too serious. As long as the city gate was repaired, there would not be much of an obstacle. The other three walls were intact. Only after their siege equipment arrived could they start a large-scale attack.

It was Sun Jian's idea to have Sun Ce come and challenge. Sun Ce's characteristics were too strong. He was bound to be an emperor in the future, and now he had revealed his appearance as an emperor. However, Sun Ce was just a newly promoted first-rate general. With his two invincible characteristics, his strength was not only enough to crush ordinary first-rate generals, but he could also fight against some top first-rate generals and even fight with famous generals for several rounds.

Now Sun Jian wants Sun Ce to have more experience in fighting on the battlefield. After all, on the battlefield, swords and knives have no eyes, so one must have the ability to protect himself.

"I am a young man who has not yet reached adulthood. I am here to challenge your famous generals, but you dare not fight. Why don't I give you a fair suggestion? Just withdraw from Yangzhou and I will let you go. Go back and tell your lord Liu Bei that he is not worthy of plotting against Jiangdong!"

Sun Ce was under the city wall, challenging Liu Bei madly, almost harming all of Liu Bei and the people around him. With Zhang Fei's temper, how could he tolerate this?
However, he was stopped by Zhao Yun and Zhang He. After their strong dissuasion, Zhang Fei finally resisted the urge to leave the city and fight with Sun Ce.

"Hey, that dark-faced Zhang Fei, aren't you very strong? Rumor has it that you killed Ling Cao and Ling Tong alone. I know their strength. Although it's not top-notch, it shouldn't be something that someone like you who doesn't even dare to leave the city gate can handle. Did you use the cavalry to surround and kill them, and then deliberately spread the news, saying that you killed them yourself?"

Sun Ce was outside the city wall, cursing more and more excitedly. After all, Jiangdong had suffered defeats one after another since the war, which made him very angry, so he was cursing on the city wall at this moment.
