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

"My lord, there is a breach in Anxi's defenses. Should we break in?"

"A rift? Are you sure this isn't a ruse?"

"My lord, this rift corresponds to the Caucasus. If we take the Caucasus, we will be able to penetrate into various parts of the Parthian Empire. If Parthia wants to guard against us, it will need at least hundreds of thousands of people, which can greatly reduce our pressure."

Sun Jian had a bad feeling when he heard this. He always felt that this was like a pocket formation in the Central Plains, with a piece of meat inside, waiting for him to take it. As long as he went there, he would easily be swallowed.

After looking at the map for a long time, Sun Jian finally decided not to eat the meat.

However, at this moment, a letter of military intelligence was delivered to Sun Jian.

Liu Bei's army has begun to leave Liang Province to attack the Parthian Empire.

It was not until after hearing this news that Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

In Sun Jian's opinion, Gu Rubing's attack would definitely create loopholes in Anxi's defense.

"Order Sura to attack, Caucasus!"

As soon as the order came out, Caesar nodded hurriedly.

Immediately afterwards, the Roman general Sulla led an army of 100,000 and rushed directly into the crack, directly surrounding the Caucasus.

In order to capture the Caucasus, Sulla made sufficient preparations, and Sun Jian also provided a lot of help.

As Sulla entered the Caucasus, Sun Jian also asked Fabius to lead an army of 50,000 to assist.

Sun Jian had made sufficient preparations, but he did not expect that the Caucasus would be captured in less than a day.

When the Roman flag was raised over the Caucasus, Cao Cao, hiding in the dark, began to launch a siege on the city of Milan according to Zhuge Liang's deployment.

Upon learning that Milan had been attacked, Sun Jian immediately sent people to provide support.

But the reinforcements were blocked halfway through their journey.

The blocking force was not very strong, but it was enough to delay until Milan was captured.

The two sides also completed the exchange of territory.

Zhuge Liang looked at the map in front of him with a smile on his face. With these two places, he would be one step closer to his plan.

"Haha, Mr. Zhuge is indeed a great talent. Every move of the enemy was actually within your calculations. It is Liu Bei's loss that he did not use you."

This time, when the two sides fought, Cao Cao suffered the least loss and captured one of the enemy's important cities. If it had happened before, he would not have been able to take it without losing 100,000 people.

"You are too kind, Prime Minister. If Rome had not been greedy, how could it have fallen into the trap and sent most of its people to the Caucasus? This is why Mira is left empty. Now what the Prime Minister has to do is to besiege the Caucasus and take it back."

"it is good!"

However, the siege of the Caucasus was not as smooth as Cao Cao had expected. There were two famous generals and 150,000 soldiers stationed in the Caucasus.

Although it was a siege, the two sides were caught in a tug-of-war and it was a fight of consumption on both sides.

When Sulla and Fabius entered the Caucasus, Sun Jian had thought of the pocket formation, so he asked them to bring enough food and fodder.

The Caucasus City was high up and had plenty of food, so Cao Cao spent three full days but failed to capture a single city gate.

In desperation, Cao Cao had to find Zhuge Liang again.

"Mr. Zhuge, the Caucasus is really difficult to conquer. I wonder if the Prime Minister has any good ideas?"

"Siege, but still can't take it down?"

Zhuge Liang looked at Cao Cao with a puzzled look.

Cao Cao could only smile helplessly. He was also helpless about this. Compared with the combat effectiveness of the Han Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Parthian Empire was really a bit poor.

There was nothing wrong with Zhuge Liang's strategy, but under this kind of combat power, Cao Cao found that his losses were actually a little greater.

To besiege the Caucasus, a city with a force of 150,000, he used 300,000 or even 350,000 troops, but failed to capture it. Instead, he lost nearly 60,000 troops.

For this situation, Cao Cao could only blame the people under his command, and could not blame Zhuge Liang.

Huang Zhong, with his 100,000 troops, marched around the border of Parthia. After two battles, he found that he could not defeat the enemy at all. In the end, he had no choice but to retreat. This also meant that Parthia did not need to send any reinforcements.

At this time, Gu Rubing was at the border of Guangling County, and all the military reports about Xiliang appeared in front of Gu Rubing.

Watching the fierce battle between Parthia and Rome, Gu Rubing took advantage of this opportunity to speed up his own development and quickly replenished the troops he had lost before, including 50,000 Taishan tiger bandits.

While Gu Rubing was recuperating, Sun Jian and Cao Cao were also recuperating at the same time, but Wujun was in much more trouble.

Lu Xun looked at Gu Rubing's camp not far ahead and felt somewhat pressured.

After a quick look at Gu Rubing's camp, he found that there were at least 100,000 people, while his side, after reinforcement, only had 100,000 people. Gu Rubing was surrounded by many powerful generals, but his side did not have a single general, only the second son, Sun Quan, who seemed to be frightened and remained silent.

The two sides were in a truce period and finally had a chance to catch their breath. Sun Jian did not want to go to war with Gu Rubing right now, so he only symbolically sent troops to Wujun but did not provide more support.

After nearly a month of rest, the three forces have been fully replenished.

Just when everyone thought that Gu Rubing's next target would be Sun Jian, Pang De, Deng Ai and 50,000 Taishan tiger bandits hiding in Hanzhong County suddenly launched a surprise attack on Ba County.

Cao Cao's famous generals, even legendary generals, were concentrated near Jiaozhou, and no one paid attention to Ba County.

Pang De led the charge and not only captured Ba County, but also killed Gao Lan who was guarding Ba County in front of the formation.

When Cao Cao learned the news, his face instantly turned ugly and he told the news to Zhuge Liang.

During this period, although Cao Cao suffered heavy losses, he also annexed nearly half of Rome's territory. He also lost some territory on his own side, but fortunately, it was all under Cao Cao's control, or to be more precise, under Zhuge Liang's control.

"Mr. Zhuge, Ba County was lost. It was Pang De, one of Liu Bei's men, who attacked Ba County."

Zhuge Liang was not surprised at the loss of Ba County and just nodded.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's indifference, Cao Cao was immediately dissatisfied. Even if Zhuge Liang was not his man, he had been with him for so long, so he couldn't be so casual, right? In any case, he had lost a general and tens of thousands of soldiers.

"Mr. Zhuge, Ba County..."

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. This is just a trick. Liu Bei's target is definitely not you. Don't worry about it! Just let Sun Jian take action to pull it back."

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Liang in confusion, but Zhuge Liang showed no intention of explaining.

Despite what Zhuge Liang said, Cao Cao still transferred Xu Huang from Xiangke County to Guanghan County for support.

When Sun Jian learned that Gu Rubing had actually taken action against Cao Cao, he actually felt a little relieved.

As long as he is not the one who suffers the loss, he doesn't care how much Cao Cao loses. Although they are allies in name, they are still opponents after all.

However, Sun Jian's happiness did not last long as he received an order from Cao Cao to take action.

Sun Jian was still smiling one second ago, but the smile on his face disappeared in an instant the next second. He then threw the letter in front of him directly to the ground and stomped on it twice.

"What is Cao Cao thinking? Why doesn't he attack and let me attack? Liu Bei is attacking him, not me. What does it have to do with me?"

Caesar had never seen Sun Jian so angry before. He didn't quite understand the situation of the Han Dynasty, so he could only wait quietly for Sun Jian to vent his anger completely.

It took a long time for Sun Jian to calm down.

Although he was angry, Sun Jian knew in his heart that he could not disobey Cao Cao's orders. Rome had suffered a lot of losses here, let alone defeating the Han Dynasty. Even against the Parthians in front of him, he might not be a match. Therefore, he still needed to be patient with Cao Cao.

Sun Jian must go back, and the matters here can only be left to Caesar.

At this time, Huang Zhong could no longer endure it. He led an army of 100,000 from Liang Province and launched a fierce attack on the border of Parthia.

Cao Cao suddenly couldn't hold on any longer. Within a few days, the Parthian border lost several cities.

"Mr. Zhuge, didn't you say that 100,000 troops on the border would be enough? Then why did it become like this?"

"Don't panic, Prime Minister. Liu Bei did capture a few of our cities, but they are small cities. There is no need to worry about them. In addition, we only have 100,000 soldiers guarding the border. So what if they are all lost? Prime Minister, don't forget how many cities we captured from Rome. The 36 Kingdoms in the Western Regions were originally left by me to delay Liu Bei."

After hearing this, Cao Cao also felt that what Zhuge Liang said made sense.

What have been lost now are the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions. Each country is not big, and the city defense construction is not enough. There is really not much difference between having it and not having it. In comparison, those big cities that I have taken with the help of Zhuge Liang are each equivalent to ten small cities.

With Zhuge Liang's comfort, Cao Cao temporarily had no other ideas.

Sun Jian rushed back to Wujun without stopping, and brought Gan Ning, Huang Gai, and Miao Moqing with him.

Looking at the mighty troops of Gu Rubing outside the city, Sun Jian's face became solemn, and he immediately ordered Gan Ning to lead his men to try an attack.

However, just when Gan Ning rushed out with 40,000 men, Zhang Liao also rushed out with the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun.

As soon as the two sides fought, Zhang Liao launched a desperate battle.

The combat effectiveness of the two thousand men of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun instantly increased to the level of first-class generals.

The 40,000-strong army was instantly dispersed by the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun. Seeing this, Gan Ning hurriedly withdrew his troops.

However, Zhang Liao led the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun and charged everywhere, smashing the army formation that Gan Ning had gathered with great difficulty again.

"Zhang Liao, I'll kill you!"

As the voice fell, Gan Ning rushed forward with the ancient ingot knife.

After the two fought for several rounds, Zhang Liao pushed Gan Ning back a few steps and then turned and ran.

Seeing this, Gan Ning quickly chased after him.

Seeing the two chasing each other, Sun Jian suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately sounded the call to withdraw his troops.

When Gan Ning heard the sound of retreat, he hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to go back unwillingly, Zhang Liao suddenly stopped.

"No wonder no one liked you when you were in Jiangxia. You were timid and submissive, and your martial arts skills were average, but you still made a fuss. People like you are destined to achieve nothing."

"What did you say?"

Gan Ning's anger was completely ignited at this moment, and he was ready to rush forward with the ancient ingot knife in hand.

But at this moment, Sun Jian's voice sounded in the distance.

"Xingba, didn't you hear the retreat? Come back quickly."

Sun Jian's voice instantly woke Gan Ning up. He then realized that he had left the army formation without knowing when, and was almost catching up with Liu Bei's camp.

Gan Ning snorted coldly, turned around and left. No matter how Zhang Liao mocked him from behind, he didn't care.

Seeing that his plan was exposed, Zhang Liao shrugged helplessly.

Sun Jian later counted his losses. In just a simple test, he lost more than 10,000 men. There were only less than 50 of Gu Rubing's men on the battlefield.

Sun Jian knew that he had suffered a great loss this time.

The most important thing is that Gu Rubing did not show up during the entire battle. In Sun Jian's opinion, Gu Rubing simply looked down upon this level of temptation.

However, what Sun Jian didn't know was that Gu Rubing had already arrived in Jiaozhou, Yulin County.

"Brother, you are here."

Guan Yu saw Gu Rubing coming and immediately stepped forward.

"Brother, you are finally here. If you hadn't come, I, Old Zhang, would have been bored to death. I would have to compete with my second brother and Mengqi every day. It would be so boring!"

"Oh? A duel? Who won?"

Hearing this, Ma Chao smiled helplessly and said, "I am still the worst. The three generals are worse than General Guan."

This was within Gu Rubing's expectations, but Guan Yu's evaluation made Gu Rubing's eyes light up.

"Meng Qi, you don't have to say it so reluctantly. Even if I use all my strength, it will be very difficult to capture you, especially if you don't run away."

Obviously, the effect of the Gun God, +1000% toughness, gave Ma Chao a lot of help when he was fighting Guan Yu.

"Okay, we should get down to business. Now is not the time to talk about this."

After Gu Rubing finished speaking, he immediately found all the generals in their own tents.

Looking at Zhang Ren, Wei Yan, and Zhang He in front of him, Gu Rubing knew that the famous generals under his command were too dispersed. If this continued, he would not be able to bear it sooner or later.

But now the arrow is on the string and it has to be shot.

"Everyone, tonight, take over Cangwu County."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded immediately. They had been feeling very frustrated during this period of time. Faced with the pressure from the continuous increase in troops on both sides, everyone had to be on guard every day. This time, taking the initiative to attack would definitely eliminate the threat from Sun Jian, and their lives would be a little better.

Night falls.

Zhou Yu was sleeping when he heard a noise at the door.

"Who?"

As the voice fell, a soldier walked in.

"Grand Commander, we have received news that Liu Bei's army has launched a full-scale attack on Cangwu County. Currently, people from all over Cangwu County are looking for us for reinforcements."

"Liu Bei has taken action? Shouldn't he be in Wujun? Didn't the lord just fight with him?"

Zhou Yu sat up from the bed, thinking about Gu Rubing's route, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't understand what Gu Rubing was going to do in such a chaotic battle. (End of this chapter)
