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

Chapter 508: Burn Your Boats, Force the King to Say Something
"Prime Minister, do you have any other ideas?"

Gu Rubing asked doubtfully, but he felt a little relieved in his heart. Since Zhuge Liang said so, he must have a solution.

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.

"There is only one plan, burn your boats!"

"What's the plan?"

Gu Rubing became interested and decided to take a desperate measure. He was the best at it. He was able to go all the way from a mat weaver and shoe seller to where he is today, not only because he knew the history, but also because he had the courage to fight a desperate battle at the critical moment.

"According to the intelligence we have obtained, it has been two hours since Jiangdong launched the attack. According to previous wars, if the enemy cannot be conquered within three hours, the attacking party will temporarily retreat. This is because three hours is the maximum physical endurance time of ordinary soldiers. If the attack continues, the casualties will only increase."

"What the Prime Minister means is that Zilong and his men must survive this round of attack before they can use the next strategy?"

Gu Rubing seemed to be thinking about something.

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and spoke in a low voice.

"It will take at least several hours to march from here to Jiangxia, so the first siege will depend on General Zilong and his men."

"So what's next? Bring the Bai Li soldiers to support them?"

"No, Jiangxia County has nearly 200,000 of our defenders, but it is still in crisis. In other words, the enemy may have an army of about 300,000, so the role that 4,000 Bai Li soldiers can play is minimal."

"What does the Prime Minister mean by burning the boats and destroying the cauldrons?"

Gu Rubing became even more confused.

Zhuge Liang asked Gu Rubing a question with a serious face.

"Is there anyone in the world who can match the bravery of General Yunchang?"

Although he didn't know what Zhuge Liang meant, Gu Rubing still answered the question very firmly.

"No one in the world can match Yunchang's courage!"

"Can Yun Chang stop Dian Wei and Sun Ce by himself?"

Gu Rubing frowned slightly. Guan Yu's Martial Saint Points had reached over 10 points, which could be said to have reached the second stage of a legendary general. Guan Yu had been a legendary general for a long time, but was still at the second level. Then Dian Wei, who came after him, and Sun Ce, who had just been promoted, were undoubtedly only at the first level.

If it was a one-on-one fight, Gu Rubing had absolute confidence that Guan Yu could defeat any one of them, but if it was a one-on-two fight between Guan Yu and Gu Rubing, he was a little unsure.

"I can't guarantee that."

"What if we add another 4,000 Bai Li soldiers?"

"The battle between them is no longer a battle between ordinary generals. Ordinary soldiers, no, even Bai Li soldiers, can hardly have the slightest influence on the battle situation. Four thousand people can hardly resist Dian Wei or Sun Ce for even a quarter of an hour."

"Is the gap so big?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang could not help but fall silent. He originally thought that by using Guan Yu's superior combat power, plus four thousand Bai Li soldiers, he could delay Sun Ce or Dian Wei and allow Guan Yu to fight one against two. In this way, Zhang Fei could get out of the battle. With Zhang Fei's speed, it would only take about two quarters of an hour to get from the border of Jingzhou to Jiangxia County.

But he made a mistake, because after being promoted to a legendary general, he had already left the category of human beings. Ordinary soldiers, even special soldiers like the Bai Li soldiers, and even the first-class generals and the best among special soldiers like Chen Dao, were just stronger ants to the legendary generals. There was no difference between them and ordinary ants, and they could be crushed to death with one foot.

"Prime Minister, the gap between them is like the difference between the nine heavens and the North Sea. It cannot be made up by numbers. However, Yun Chang may not be able to win against two of them, but he should be able to hold out for a while. Moreover, once Yi De leaves the battlefield, Sun Ce and Dian Wei will surely be restless and will no longer concentrate on the battlefield. Yun Chang may really be able to stop the two of them."

"If General Yunchang can stop the two, General Yide can rush to Jiangxia County to help resolve Jiangxia's predicament. By then, even if Dian Wei and Sun Ce chase them to Jiangxia County, Yide and Yunchang can stop them again."

"In this way, we can take advantage of the difference in the temporary battle force deployment between the two sides to break the crisis in Jiangxia, but the crisis is also great. If Guan Yu cannot stop Sun Ce and Dian Wei, then it will be a devastating blow to us."

“So it’s a last-ditch effort.”

After saying this, the two of them walked out quickly in silence. When they were about to leave the palace, Gu Rubing finally spoke again.

"I believe in Yunchang. After this battle, our Han Dynasty will have no worries!"

Gu Rubing turned around.

"Prime Minister, the journey is long and the horses are in a hurry. You should take Chen Dao and a thousand Baibi soldiers to guard Xudu. If Cao Cao brings his men back to attack Xudu while I am away, you do not need to resist. Your life is the most important thing."

"Lord, don't worry."

Zhuge Liang bowed to Gu Rubing, and Gu Rubing waved to Chen Dao who was standing beside him.

"Chen Dao, take a thousand Bai Li soldiers and protect the prime minister in Xudu."

"My Lord, rest assured. Even if I die, the Prime Minister will be fine."

Chen Dao said this with a solemn face, but Gu Rubing just laughed and scolded.

"What nonsense, life or death, while protecting the Prime Minister, you must also protect your lives, otherwise, how can I explain to your family?"

"Family? Where can I find any family? When the city was massacred, my whole family was killed by the army. I am the only one who survived who was not in the city. If it weren't for the lord, I, a lonely ghost, would have died long ago. How could I follow the lord to fight?"

Chen Dao gave a bitter smile. Gu Rubing wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only pat Chen Dao on the shoulder.

Chen Dao clasped his hands and continued.

"May the lord defeat the bandits on this trip!"

"Defeat the bandits!"

The four thousand Bai Li soldiers spoke in surprise. Chen Dao clasped his hands and clasped his fists. Zhuge Liang also bowed and saluted. They were all petitioning for Gu Rubing. Seeing this, Gu Rubing said in a deep voice, "Greatly defeat the bandits! Return in triumph!"

After saying that, Gu Rubing led three thousand Bai Li soldiers and rushed towards the legendary general battlefield on the border of Jingzhou.

At this moment, the battle situation on the battlefield of the legendary generals was different from what everyone expected. On the vast plain, four huge phantoms were interlacing in the sky. On the ground, the four men had abandoned their horses and were fighting on the plains.

The two sides have changed opponents again, Guan Yu against Dian Wei, Zhang Fei against Sun Ce, both battlefields are firmly suppressed.

In the sky, Guan Yu's shadow was particularly conspicuous, because his shadow was obviously ten feet taller than the shadows of the other three. At the same time, compared with other colorless shadows, the green streams of light constantly flowing in his shadow added a bit of mystery.

If Gu Rubing saw this scene, he would definitely think that the skill change was caused by Guan Yu's advancement.

Dian Wei was a little frustrated at the moment. Why did he become a legendary general? There was also a gap between the two. Guan Yu could almost suppress him and make him defend continuously. When Guan Yu faced Sun Ce, it was even more so. Sun Ce didn't even have the strength to fight back.

If Dian Wei had not exchanged opponents with Sun Ce in time, and if he had fought against Dian Wei instead, Sun Ce would probably have been injured by Guan Yu now.

In the war between the four of them, their side was already at a disadvantage. Once Sun Ce was injured again, the balance of fighting power would tilt entirely towards Guan Yu and his men, which would be a huge disaster for them.

Dian Wei and Sun Ce wanted to delay Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but the order Guan Yu and Zhang Fei received was to try to kill one of them here to break the gap in top combat power between the two sides.

If one had to choose one between the two to kill, the result would undoubtedly be Sun Ce, who was slightly inferior in combat power. So at this moment Zhang Fei was attacking Sun Ce with all his might, without any defense at all, and he attacked Sun Ce with great force, forcing Sun Ce to retreat step by step. Sun Ce happened to be taking the path of breaking all obstacles with one force, and at this moment, being disturbed by Zhang Fei, he had no way to exert his best strength.

This is exactly why he was suppressed by Zhang Fei. Although Sun Ce was a legendary general, he had too little experience in major battles, especially this kind of one-on-one fighting, which he had almost zero experience in. His path to promotion was too smooth. Under Sun Jian's arrangement, he was promoted quickly by reaping the lives of weaker generals.

In addition, his characteristics reduced the legendary general points required for promotion to a legendary general, making his legendary general even more unworthy of his reputation. This led to a gap between his combat power and Dian Wei and Zhang Fei, not to mention Guan Yu, the gap between the two was even greater.

"You little brat, take another hit from your grandfather!"

Zhang Fei used the one-handed Eighteen Spears to its fullest extent. The ten-foot-long snake spear in Zhang Fei's hand was like a poisonous snake, the snake head swam and the spear blade danced. Wherever it went, there were flashes of light, forcing Sun Ce to retreat ten feet away, not daring to get close to Zhang Fei at all.

Sun Ce never forgot Zhang Fei's outrageous attack distance. He still had an arm's length away from ten feet. He had suffered a great loss in the previous battle, so he would naturally not make the same mistake again. When Zhang Fei once again grasped the tail of the snake spear, Sun Ce reacted immediately and again opened up a distance of two feet away from ten feet, giving Zhang Fei no chance to attack.

"Boy, is that all you can do but run away?"

Zhang Fei roared and raised his spear to attack again, but Sun Ce dodged it by leaning sideways. The spear fell to the ground, and the huge force directly formed several deep grooves in front of it with the landing point as the center. Sun Ce felt bitter in his heart, but no one said anything.

He originally thought that since they were all legendary generals, there wouldn't be much difference between them, but the result was unacceptable to him. His strength was at the bottom among the four, and he became a soft persimmon that could be bullied at will. When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought against him, they only attacked and did not defend.

This resulted in Guan Yu never actively attacking again after he activated his skill.

Thinking back on the time when he had always crushed his enemies, Sun Ce found it hard to accept the huge gap between now and then when he was being chased and beaten by others and couldn't even fight back.

"Overlord!"

Sun Ce shouted angrily once again to cheer himself up, then he spun his body and swung out a powerful shot. The force was so great that bursts of steaming air appeared wherever the Overlord Spear passed.

The collision of the two huge forces was as deafening as thunder, stirring up dust all over the sky. Although Sun Ce's attack was magnificent, Zhang Fei's attack was equally powerful.

In the end, Sun Ce was still repelled by the huge force. A disdainful smile appeared on Zhang Fei's face, and the snake spear in his hand danced again, attacking Sun Ce like a storm.

Although Sun Ce was extremely strong, his attacks seemed a bit clumsy in front of an opponent of Zhang Fei's level. Every time they fought, Sun Ce felt a huge pressure, as if his bones were about to be shattered. He gritted his teeth and tried to hold on, but every time they fought, he became more aware of the gap between himself and Zhang Fei.

"Humph, boy, with your strength, you dare to fight with me, Zhang Fei? Prepare to die!"

Zhang Fei's mocking voice was like a sharp arrow, piercing Sun Ce's ears.

Sun Ce was furious, but he was no match for Zhang Fei in terms of strength, so he could only swallow his anger.

At this time, on the other side of the battlefield, the battle between Guan Yu and Dian Wei also entered a fierce battle. Dian Wei's double halberds were like two black lightnings, constantly striking Guan Yu, while Guan Yu responded with his Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, and every swing of the sword was accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, neutralizing Dian Wei's attacks one by one.

"Dian Wei, I let you survive last time, but that won't happen this time!"

Guan Yu sneered, his sword skills became more and more fierce, and every attack was aimed at Dian Wei's vital points.

Upon hearing this, Dian Wei's already dark face became even darker, and so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. The last time he was seriously injured by Guan Yu's sword, it was already a scar in his heart. Now that this scar was mentioned by Guan Yu himself, it seemed even more lethal, causing Dian Wei's hands holding the heavy double halberds to tremble slightly.

"Guan Yu, you only defeated me once. One day I will defeat you and kill you!"

Dian Wei's eyes were bloodshot. Guan Yu's few words moved his mind and touched his heart, making him feel a little crazy. He had never experienced this situation since he was promoted to a legendary general.

Facing Dian Wei's harsh words, Guan Yu simply held his sword forward. The huge shadow behind him followed Guan Yu's every move, also raising a large Green Dragon Crescent Blade, with both swords pointing forward, which was full of pressure.

Seeing this scene, netizens in the live broadcast room suddenly became excited.

"I have a feeling that the second master, the king of pretense, is going to show off again, and it will definitely be a big one."

"I've already taken out my little notebook. I'm going to write down the second master's pretentious quotes. It'll be useful when I go out and venture into the world."

"Brother, the reason why I am the King of Forcing is not because I am pretending, because I have the ability to pretend, so I am the King of Forcing. People like you just don't pretend well!"

"The King's Quotes are coming soon, brothers, get ready to welcome the King!"

"Second Master is mighty! Second Master, come quickly! I'm ready!"

When Guan Yu struck a pose, netizens in the live broadcast room had already predicted that Guan Yu was going to do something big next.

In the live broadcast room, Guan Yu finally spoke slowly.

"I never consider anyone defeated by me as my opponent. I will give you time to catch up until you are out of sight!"
