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

But on second thought, even if Zhuge Liang was not in his camp, as long as he could help him with strategies, it would only be a matter of time for him to conquer the Han Dynasty.

And since he is by his side, with his own abilities, it is only a matter of time before he can win over Zhuge Liang.

"No problem, then welcome Mr. Ge to join us!"

Zhuge Liang smiled, then opened a map of the Han Dynasty and placed it in front of Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister, please look, currently you occupy Yizhou, Sun Jian occupies Yangzhou and part of Jiaozhou. We can send troops from Yizhou to Hanzhong County, and join forces with Sun Jian to send troops from Wu County to Xuzhou. At the same time, both of you can send troops to suppress the forces left by Liu Bei in Jiaozhou at the same time. This will definitely make it difficult for Liu Bei to take care of both ends."

Seeing Zhuge Liang's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but interrupt him and said, "Mr. Zhuge, our target is Liangzhou."

"Liangzhou? It seems that the Prime Minister has some connection with the Parthian Empire."

"Yes, Mr. Zhuge is not an outsider. I will tell you directly that I was the one who supported the Parthian Empire. Of course, I am just using them. When I achieve my goal, I will destroy the Parthian Empire. How dare a foreign country compete with us for territory?"

Looking at Cao Cao's expression, Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and then took out another map, which showed the layout of the western part and the situation in the Western Regions.

"Since Anxi belongs to you, Prime Minister, I will have to rearrange the layout."

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, then looked at Cao Cao and said, "Prime Minister, your target is Liu Bei's Liang Province."

When Cao Cao heard Zhuge Liang's words, his eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.

He didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would see through his plan so quickly.

Because he not only deployed 300,000 troops in Liangzhou, but also deployed 300,000 troops on the Roman border. Moreover, when he was at war with Liu Bei, he was also at war with Rome. His purpose was to prevent Liu Bei from seeing his original intentions and to prevent Liu Bei from guessing about him. After all, Liu Bei's spies were really terrifying.

But Zhuge Liang simply looked at the map and, combined with the situation during that period, accurately stated his purpose. This shows how powerful Zhuge Liang, the legendary strategist, is.

"Prime Minister, I can only say that your goal is wrong. Look, from a geographical point of view, your Parthian Empire is caught in the middle. If you start a war on two fronts, the situation will be bad for you. And before I came out, I heard that Rome had already approached Liu Bei, and it seemed that they wanted to form an alliance."

"Rome has found Liu Bei?"

Cao Cao certainly didn't know this.

Sili had done a very good job of keeping secrets, so it was difficult for anything to get out, so Cao Cao naturally wouldn’t know about it.

"That's right. If Rome attacks from the west and Liu Bei attacks from the east, how will you deal with it, Prime Minister? If I'm not mistaken, the current Parthian Empire does not have the ability to fight on two fronts."

Cao Cao nodded. Although he secretly supported the Parthian Empire, the power of the Parthian Empire was limited after all. Moreover, the Empire was not on the same page as Cao Cao and did not obey Cao Cao at all. Therefore, Cao Cao's control over the Empire was still limited. Now everyone's interests were the same, so the Parthian Empire would naturally not say anything. But if the interests were inconsistent and a two-front war broke out, the people of the Parthian Empire would abandon them without hesitation.

"So what does Mr. Zhuge mean?"

"Swallow Rome, destroy Liu Bei, and pacify the Central Plains!"

As soon as these nine words came out, Cao Cao became alert instantly. The trust he had just built up in Zhuge Liang disappeared in an instant. Cao Cao even suspected that Zhuge Liang's departure and his own visit to Zhuge Liang were all a play performed by Liu Bei for him.

"Mr. Zhuge, my purpose in supporting Anxi is to take action against Liu Bei."

"Prime Minister, of course I know, but we don't have the ability to fight on two fronts. We may not even be able to defeat Liu Bei. What we can do is very limited, that is, to defeat Rome and consolidate our own strength. With the combined power of Parthia, Rome, Yizhou and Sun Jian, isn't it easy to destroy Liu Bei?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao looked at the map. After Zhuge Liang's explanation, Cao Cao also felt that it would be much easier for him to conquer Rome than to conquer Liu Bei.

"Will Liu Bei not stop us? After all, we are allies of Rome."

"That depends on my operation. Don't worry, Prime Minister. With me here, Liu Bei won't have the chance to interfere in our affairs."

Hearing this, Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Liang and nodded.

Now he doesn't dare to fully believe that Zhuge Liang is really on his side, but at least, he can't see any problem now, so it is still acceptable.

Soon, under the command of Zhuge Liang, the Parthian army on the Liangzhou defense line retreated and defended the city, leaving only 100,000 soldiers and horses. As for the famous generals, only four were left.

When Gu Rubing saw this situation, although he didn't know what was going on, he still wanted to test it out.

Pang De took 50,000 soldiers to test it out.

But no matter how Pang De shouted and cursed outside the city, the people inside the city seemed not to hear him. They just didn't come out, and didn't even respond.

Finally, Pound had no choice but to return to the city.

"Did the Parthian Empire change its attack route? Did they attack Rome?"

Gu Rubing looked at the map. Without Zhuge Liang's help, Gu Rubing could only rely on himself.

But faced with such a chaotic battlefield, which was detached from the history he knew, Gu Rubing's methods seemed a little powerless.

Just as Gu Rubing was thinking about it, a battle report appeared in his hands.

The Xiahou brothers from Yizhou led 50,000 troops and appeared around Yulin County, while Sun Jian led 100,000 troops and also appeared around Yulin County. It seemed that a battle between the two sides was about to break out.

"I need to go back. I'll leave the matters here to General Huang."

After Gu Rubing gave some instructions to Huang Zhong, he prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, Gu Rubing saw Zhuge Liang's feather fan before leaving and snorted coldly.

Gu Rubing was quite unhappy with Zhuge Liang's behavior of leaving without saying goodbye.

Soon, Cao Cao received information that Gu Rubing had handed over the affairs of Liangzhou to the veteran general Huang Zhong, leaving only 100,000 soldiers in Liangzhou. Gu Rubing took Zhao Yun and all the rest of the people and left for Jiaozhou.

"Mr. Zhuge, it is just as you said. Liu Bei has indeed left."

"Prime Minister, since I said I can suppress Liu Bei, I can do it. Don't underestimate my ability."

Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Cao Cao nodded.

Soon, Zhuge Liang looked at the map in his hand.

This time, Zhuge Liang's target was Rome. "Prime Minister, according to the information you provided, Rome has a total of nine important cities, including the capital. One of them, Milan, is near our forehead, so this time, we have to take Milan."

Cao Cao nodded. Since he had already decided to take over Rome, he naturally had to do his best and start from the most important place.

"According to our intelligence, the Roman Empire has special troops, namely 300 Spartan warriors, all of whom have the ability of first-rate generals. In addition, there are Macedonian warriors. The Macedonian phalanx they formed is also extremely troublesome. Although there are only 1,000 people, their overall strength is only that of second-rate generals. But with that phalanx, everyone can exert the strength of first-rate generals."

Hearing what Cao Cao said, it was obvious that Cao Cao had suffered losses in these two special types of troops.

Moreover, the strength of Rome did surprise Zhuge Liang.

Gu Rubing also has this special type of soldiers in his hands, and he has a lot of them.

But there were not many of them, and they were all composed of first-rate generals. From this, we can see how many wars Rome had experienced to train such a group of elite troops.

Even Zhuge Liang had to be careful when fighting against such a battle-hardened army.

"Prime Minister, the enemy's fighting power should be much stronger than ours, so we need to give them a little sweetness, so that when they let down their guard, we can eat them up in one bite."

"Mr. Zhuge, please tell me, what are you going to do?"

"It's simple. Give up the Caucasus."

"Caucasus?"

When Cao Cao heard what Zhuge Liang said, his eyes widened.

The Caucasus is not an ordinary city. Although it is also on the border, this city is well connected and its role is no less than that of Jingzhou of the Han Dynasty. If it is abandoned like this, people will have a transit station, and I don’t know how much trouble I will get into by then.

Cao Cao now suspected that Zhuge Liang was a traitor sent by Rome.

But Cao Cao was just thinking about it. If even a legendary strategist could be sent out as a traitor, then Liu Bei was really at a loss for personnel. This was simply a waste of resources.

Seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Zhuge Liang smiled and began to explain.

"Prime Minister, I know that the existence of the Caucasus is very important to the Parthian Empire, just like Jingzhou is very important to the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, why would the Prime Minister join forces with Sun Jian to attack Jingzhou many times? But in the same way, do you think you will feel at ease even if you take Jingzhou?"

Cao Cao shook his head.

Jingzhou is well connected and it is very convenient to go anywhere, and it is also extremely rich. But because of this, even if you take Jingzhou by yourself, you will need a large number of people to hold it. After all, this is a place that has been fought on all sides, and anyone wants to take it.

Jingzhou is a prosperous place, but it is also a place of huge trouble.

"In fact, Prime Minister, the Caucasus is the same as Jingzhou. It will be useless even if it is in your hands. Why don't we give it up? The Caucasus is surrounded by our territory and our people. It is easy for us to encircle the Caucasus. It will still be ours, but Milan will be different if we take it."

"That is one of the important cities of Rome. We have several small cities that can directly touch Milan. Even if we take Milan, we don't have to worry about being surrounded like in the Caucasus."

After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Cao Cao looked at the map and thought it made perfect sense, so he carried out Zhuge Liang's plan.

Soon Zhuge Liang saw the entire lineup of the Parthian Empire.

However, when Zhuge Liang understood their strength, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

The Parthian Empire, which seemed relatively weak, actually had nine famous generals. It was said that the king was also a famous general. That was to say, there were ten famous generals, which was actually more than the number in Gu Rubing's hands. But the difference was that there were no legendary generals.

And according to what Cao Cao said, the Romans had even more famous generals than they did.

So relatively speaking, Rome's territory was larger.

Among these famous generals, the one Zhuge Liang favored the most was a famous general named Surena.

For some reason, Zhuge Liang actually saw some of his own shadow in this person.

When Surena learned that the target of the war would be Rome, he became very excited.

He had long wanted to take action against Rome. Compared to his greed for the Han Dynasty, he still wanted revenge on Rome. When he fought against Rome, he was careless and lost nearly 50,000 people. His reputation in Parthia also declined a lot.

"Prime Minister, if we attack Rome, I want to be the vanguard."

"Of course no problem."

Cao Cao quickly made arrangements, and Surena led 100,000 people to attack Milan.

But before that, Cao Cao deliberately left a gap in the front line.

After Caesar knew about this, he did not rush to take action, but looked at Sun Jian on the side.

Because of the truce period mentioned in the meeting, Sun Jian set his sights on Rome, and this time he even arrived here in person.

The discovery of the Roman Empire was entirely accidental.

At the beginning, Sun Jian just wanted to see if he could defeat Gu Rubing head on, so he wanted to launch a surprise attack on Gu Rubing by water. However, he found that the places reached by water were all small cities, which were not of much significance at all. Finally, Sun Jian set his sights on the Western Regions.

The Yangzhou fleet headed towards the Western Regions, intending to dock at the nearest place and then open up a second battlefield in the Western Regions to clamp down on its patron Ru Bing.

But unexpectedly, the fleet went astray and, by accident, ended up in Roman territory.

After seeing the power of Rome, Sun Jian had the idea of ​​forming an alliance.

But it was just an alliance in the beginning. With Sun Jian's support, Rome expanded more and more, and in the end it was comparable to the Han Dynasty. This made Sun Jian feel that he had to suppress the other side.

So, Sun Jian just pushed Sun Ce over.

In front of a legendary general like Sun Ce, all territories and means are unnecessary. After seeing Sun Ce kill more than 2,000 people with one shot, Caesar finally became obedient and completely surrendered to Sun Jian.

The Roman Empire was officially owned by Caesar, but in reality it belonged to Sun Jian. In this respect, Sun Jian did much better than Cao Cao. (End of this chapter)
