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

Chapter 553 The second legendary general, Xu Chu!

The two of them conspired for a long time, and they both thought that Gu Rubing would not know what they said.

But what they didn't know was that Gu Rubing's spies were everywhere in the palace, and the content of their conversation was already on the table in front of Gu Rubing.

After looking at the content above, Gu Rubing sneered.

Want to destroy me? It depends on whether you Kushans have the ability to do so.

Gu Rubing never cared about the affairs of the Kushan Empire. In his eyes, the so-called Kushan Empire was just a small country that could be destroyed with a wave of the hand. This would also leave room for future losses and disasters. After all, the Kushan Empire was indeed not big, but its value was not small.

The emperor's edict had been issued for several days, but there had been no response from Cao Cao.

Gu Rubing remembered that after Cao Cao left Sili, he told others bad things about him everywhere in order to destroy his reputation. According to Cao Cao's temper, he would definitely scold him everywhere and say that he controlled the emperor.

But now Cao Cao has made no sound at all, which means that Cao Cao may no longer be in the Thirteen States of the Han Dynasty.

The most likely ones are the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions.

Gu Rubing had indeed guessed correctly.

Cao Cao was indeed in the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions, but his target was not Liangzhou.

Otherwise, under the leadership of Cao Cao, how could he have captured just two counties when Liang Province did not have much defensive capability? By the time Ma Chao arrived, the entire Liang Province would have been captured by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's real goal was the Kushan Empire behind the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions.

It is said that the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions came to Cao Cao because of incorrect intelligence.

After the Silk Road was closed, a large part of the economy of the 36 countries in the Western Regions was cut off at one time.

Finally, they couldn't help it and formed an alliance to ask the Han Dynasty to reopen the Silk Road.

However, due to the closure of the Silk Road, the transmission of information among the Thirty-Six Countries was quite slow. According to their intelligence, the Han Dynasty was still controlled by Prime Minister Cao Cao, so they sent envoys to find Cao Cao.

After the envoy entered the Han Dynasty, he learned that Cao Cao was defeated and entered Yizhou. He thought of looking for Gu Rubing, but when he thought of the order from above, he decided to go to Yizhou to find Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao was struggling with the huge compensation to pay Gu Rubing. Upon learning that an envoy from the Western Regions had found him, he hurried to meet him.

When Cao Cao learned that they wanted him to open the Silk Road, he was in a dilemma.

It’s not that they don’t want to open the Silk Road, but the main reason is that Liangzhou is no longer in their hands.

Xun Yu, who was standing by, saw this and gave Cao Cao an idea.

Xun Yu had heard that behind the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions, there were several large countries, and there should be a lot of resources there.

Cao Cao reacted immediately and asked the messenger. After receiving a positive answer, Cao Cao immediately took Dian Wei and Xu Chu to the Western Regions. After all, taking too many people would make it easy for Gu Rubing to find out, so Cao Cao had to do all this in secret.

After arriving in the Western Regions, Cao Cao discovered that there were thirty-six countries in the alliance, but the total military force was no more than 300,000, of which there were only thirty-six first-class generals, namely these thirty-six kings.

As for the rest, they barely made it to the level of second-rate generals.

However, Cao Cao obtained information about the Kushan Empire from the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions. The princes and kings of the Kushan Empire were both famous generals and were also very powerful.

At Xu Chu's current level, if he can kill these two famous generals, he can naturally become a legendary general. Maybe Dian Wei's evil points will also increase, and by then, he may be able to compete with Guan Yu.

It happened that Yan Gaozhen, with two thousand men, passed through the territory of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions. Cao Cao took direct action and killed him.

Originally, Cao Cao wanted Xu Chu to kill Yan Gaozhen, so he did not let Dian Wei follow him. Unexpectedly, Yan Gaozhen escaped.

"Prime Minister Cao, I just received information that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty said that King Lie wants you to go to Sili to meet him."

"Go to Sili? Is Liu Bei crazy? Do you think I'm a fool to go to see him? Just ignore him. King Jingjue, are your troops ready?"

The King of Jingjue nodded, left 100,000 troops and ten kings to guard Jiuquan County. Under the leadership of General Dian Wei, he confronted Ma Chao and Guan Yu.

Although Prime Minister, you have not shown up, I think with General Dian Wei here, they will definitely think you are in Jiuquan County.

Cao Cao nodded and sent troops directly to the Kushan Empire.

With the help of the imperial edict issued by Liu Xie, Gu Rubing did not receive a reply from Cao Cao, but the news from Guan Yu allowed Gu Rubing to determine where Cao Cao was.

Guan Yu saw Dian Wei in Jiuquan County.

Where there is Dian Wei, there must be Cao Cao.

This was what Gu Rubing was thinking.

At the same time, Guan Yu also sent information about the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

After seeing the strength of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, Gu Rubing couldn't help but laugh.

This is not the Thirty-Six Kingdoms, this is a tool for gaining experience.

Gu Rubing opened Ma Chao's panel.

[Name: Ma Chao]

[Military General Level: Famous General (95/100)

Legendary General Points: (87/100)]

【characteristic……】

The recent wars have greatly improved Ma Chao's level. If Ma Chao kills the rulers of these 36 countries, doesn't that mean he will become a legendary general?
Gu Rubing had already imagined what it would be like if all the Five Tiger Generals became legendary generals.

Originally, Gu Rubing was still thinking about the affairs of Jiaozhou. Now that Ma Chao's breakthrough was imminent, Gu Rubing had no time to care about Jiaozhou. After all, a large army was rushing to Jiaozhou, and there would be absolutely no problem in stabilizing the situation.

In the end, Gu Rubing decided to rush to Liangzhou.

When Cao Cao, Xu Chu, and an army of 200,000 arrived at the Kushan Empire, the Kushan Empire first sent people to negotiate.

As a result, the envoy sent was directly killed by Cao Cao.

In just three days, Cao Cao occupied half of the territory of the Kushan Empire.

However, up to now, the Kushan Empire has only produced a few first-class generals, but there has never been a famous general like the king.

Cao Cao even doubted whether this famous general was real. And up to now, Cao Cao had not encountered any decent resistance. The territory of the Kushan Empire was almost the same as that of the Han Dynasty, so why was its combat effectiveness so poor?

Just when Cao Cao was curious, a spy reported that 200,000 people from the Kushan Empire had arrived, led by ten first-class generals.

When Cao Cao heard that the other party had brought 200,000 people and ten first-class generals, he was immediately excited.

But soon, Cao Cao calmed down.

Although these thirty-six countries have a total of 300,000 people, due to the lack of wars over the years, their overall strength is relatively low. In this case, they may not be the opponent's opponent if they fight against each other.

Moreover, two famous generals should be able to make Xu Chu a legendary general. If both are given to Xu Chu, it will not be of much use. What he needs now is the quantity of legendary generals, not the quality.

Finally, Cao Cao decided that, in addition to the confrontation, he would send people to Yizhou and order Cao Zhang to lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Grave Robber Captain, the Fachou Lieutenant General, and Xu Huang to rush there urgently.

The last time Xu Huang accidentally met Zhao Yun, who had already become a legendary general, and successfully escaped under the cover of Dian Wei, which increased his famous general points a lot. Now he is on the verge of becoming a famous general.

As for Cao Zhang, Cao Cao wanted to let Cao Zhang take this opportunity to make him a legendary general as well.

The Kushan Empire had now become Cao Cao's own experience pool.

The two sides confronted each other, and Xu Chu fought alone against ten first-rate generals.

Under the enhancement of Xu Chu's Tiger Crazy characteristic, half an hour later, all attributes increased by 400%. With the blessing of the Chaos Cloak Sword Technique, he killed three first-class generals in an instant.

Cao Cao stared at the experience on the panel and found that only three points had been added.

He couldn't help but shake his head. It was a pity that he was only a first-rate general. If he was almost first-rate, he might be able to become a legendary general faster.

It didn't take long before only four of the ten first-rate generals were left.

In the end, the four people escaped, and Xu Chu did not rush to chase them, but just waved his hand.

The 200,000 troops behind him, led by 26 kings, rushed into the camp of the Kushan Empire.

Looking at the changes on the battlefield, Cao Cao couldn't help but frown.

The combat effectiveness of the coalition forces of thirty-six countries is indeed worrying.

Even though Xu Chu killed so many of the enemy's first-class generals and the morale of the army was high, the casualties were still 1:1. If there was no Xu Chu, wouldn't we have lost?
Cao Cao had no way to deal with this.

He and the rulers of the thirty-six countries were only in an alliance, and they did not recognize him as their leader, so he could not give them any of his bonuses.

After three hours, both sides were exhausted and had to stop fighting, rest and fight again tomorrow.

Cao Cao was quite helpless at this time. With such an advantage, the loss in one battle was as high as 70,000. If he was facing Gu Rubing's army, he would probably be wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour.

"waste."

Cao Cao muttered quietly.

"My Lord, should we organize a night raid on the enemy camp?"

Night attacks were always a specialty in the Central Plains War, but they are obviously not applicable now.

The coalition forces of the thirty-six countries were all exhausted at this time, and the so-called night attack could only be achieved by using the most elite troops to attack the enemy camp. But now, where were the elite troops among the thirty-six countries?
Seeing Cao Cao shaking his head, Xu Chu stopped talking and could only stand aside. After all, he could not come up with any effective suggestions on strategy.

After Cao Zhang received the news, he immediately led his men to the battlefield of the Kushan Empire.

In comparison, Gu Rubing is faster.

After Gu Rubing arrived in Zhangye County, he immediately joined up with Ma Chao and his men.

"My lord, you are here."

Ma Chao was very helpless at this time. No matter how he shouted and cursed, no one paid any attention to him, be it Dian Wei or the other side guarding the city. If he attacked by force, it would be a bit difficult since he didn't have many people after all.

Gu Rubing's mobile crossbow commander also has an intelligence network, but it only spreads across the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty and is still relatively weak in terms of matters outside the region.

After learning that the other side only had ten kings, including Dian Wei, he couldn't help but frown.

This number of people seems not enough for Ma Chao to become a legendary general.

Finally, Gu Rubing decided to surround the point and attack the reinforcements.

Under the command of Gu Rubing, Ma Chao, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun directly surrounded the entire city.

On the one hand, the purpose is to make the city lose food and disrupt the morale of the army. On the other hand, he also hopes that the other side can send people to support him. In this way, Ma Chao will definitely become a legendary general.

But after several days of siege, there was still no news from the city, and no reinforcements were even seen.

"It would be great if the Prime Minister was here. He would definitely have a solution."

Gu Rubing sighed helplessly, and finally had to let Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao lead the troops to attack the city.

Soon, Gu Rubing discovered the weakness of the thirty-six countries. The 100,000 people defending the city held out for less than two hours before the city gate was breached, and Dian Wei disappeared in the city.

Ma Chao killed ten kings in a row, but was still three points short of upgrading.

Gu Rubing was suddenly a little disappointed.

The most crucial thing is that Gu Rubing did not find any trace of Cao Cao during the siege.

According to the intelligence, Cao Cao should be among these thirty-six countries.

Is it in the back?
At this time, Cao Zhang had already arrived in Cao Cao's camp.

When Cao Cao saw Cao Zhang coming, he suddenly became excited.

With the addition of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Cao Zhang, Cao Cao's speed increased even more.

But at this time, Cao Cao also received the information.

Jiuquan County was defeated, and now Gu Rubing has taken back Jiuquan County and is about to occupy the entire Liangzhou.

Cao Cao had already anticipated this, and he was now racing against time with Gu Rubing.

Cao Cao left behind ten kings and Dian Wei, who had rushed back, to defend against Gu Rubing on the spot, while he took Cao Zhang and Xu Chu to continue attacking the Kushan Empire.

After just two days of walking, they encountered Dian Wei again, who was garrisoning with 100,000 men.

This gave Gu Rubing a bad feeling.

He always felt that Dian Wei did this on purpose, as if he was deliberately delaying time.

But he couldn't figure out why.

As before, the coalition forces of thirty-six countries showed signs of defeat as soon as the battle began, and Gu Rubing regained the lost territory with almost no losses.

However, this time the opponent fled even faster, and even a first-class general couldn't catch up with him.

Gu Rubing looked at the map in his hand. The bad feeling became more and more serious, and the sense of crisis became clearer and clearer.

At this time, Cao Cao had already reached the capital of the Kushan Empire.

This time, the king had to come out.

When Cao Cao saw the opponent's famous general coming out, he became excited.

"Xu Chu, go out and kill him."

"Yes, my lord!"

Xu Chu chuckled, swung the cloak sword in his hand, and rushed forward.

"Big man, you are going too far, don't blame me."

As soon as the voice fell, the king rushed out.

However, this king was not on the same level as Xu Chu. The two sides had been fighting for less than half an hour when the king was killed by Xu Chu with a single sword.

Xu Chu suddenly felt his body lighten.

A unique aura instantly erupted from his body, and even the cloak knife in his hand seemed to have become a lot lighter.

When Cao Cao saw this, he couldn't help but scream.

"It's done, it's finally done, my second legendary general, Xu Chu, is finally out!"
