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

This time, the defense of Jiaozhou was entirely commanded by Zhuge Liang himself, and its level of rigor far exceeded that of Gu Rubing's time.

Looking at Zhuge Liang's personnel deployment and defensive positions, Gu Rubing felt that even if he was given 200,000 troops, he might not be able to capture Jiaozhou.

With this level of defense, Gu Rubing no longer has to worry about the defense of Jiaozhou. Instead, he is now curious about what is going on with the Gu Clan in Jiaozhou.

If he could figure out the Gu Tribe, he might not suffer such heavy losses when facing them, and Sun Jian's trump card would no longer threaten his army.

Gu Rubing then began to send people to investigate all aspects of the Gu tribe.

At this time, on the battlefield of Parthia, Cao Zhen led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to join.

Rome quickly sent the battle report to Sun Jian.

When Sulla saw the battle report, he immediately found Sun Jian.

"Sunzhou Mu, have you sent people to join Anxi?"

"Huh? Sulla, are you kidding me? How could I send people to help the Parthians? I have spent so much effort and manpower and resources on Rome, how could I stand on the side of the enemy?"

"But we have received intelligence that the Han cavalry has appeared on the battlefield."

After saying that, Sura translated the battle report into words that Sun Jian could understand and placed it in front of Sun Jian.

When Sun Jian saw the situation described in the battle report, he did agree with the Han Dynasty's standards, but this kind of thing was impossible, as the battle report wrote about the mysterious cavalry of the Han Dynasty.

In Sun Jian's opinion, the only person who could participate in the war between Rome and Parthia besides himself was Gu Rubing. But if it was really Gu Rubing, how could there be a mysterious cavalry? After fighting with Gu Rubing for such a long time, if Rome didn't know what kind of cavalry Gu Rubing had, then Rome would be too stupid.

If he didn't send anyone, not Gu Rubing, then there is only one person in the entire Han Dynasty who has the ability to send troops to Rome.

Cao Cao?

Sun Jian immediately sent someone to contact Cao Cao and request a meeting.

After all, Sun Jian didn't want to tell Cao Cao about his support for Rome before he was sure whether the cavalry that appeared in Parthia belonged to Cao Cao, otherwise Cao Cao would definitely intervene, and by then it would be uncertain whether Rome would still be his.

After all, he is an old hand at this. If he hadn't inserted himself into the relationship between Shi Xie and the Gu tribe, how could he have made Miao Moqing and the entire Gu tribe work for him?

Cao Cao naturally accepted Sun Jian's request for a meeting.

But Cao Cao soon ran into a dilemma. There was only Jiaozhou between Yangzhou and Yizhou, and they could meet in Jiaozhou again. But now the whole Jiaozhou was in the hands of Gu Rubing. Now the only way for the two of them to pass messages to each other was for the messenger to disguise himself. If the two sides wanted to meet, it would be extremely difficult.

Gu Rubing was also in a dilemma at this time. He had been a member of the Gu tribe for a long time. During this period of time, he did find out a lot of things about the Gu tribe, but he had no information about the Gu tribe's nest. He also searched the surrounding villages but found no signs of the Gu tribe living there, not even a single Gu insect.

Later, after Hua Tuo's reminder, Gu Rubing realized that the Gu worms were raised in the deep mountains, which meant that the Gu tribe was also likely in the deep mountains.

But there are too many mountains in Jiaozhou, how could I possibly find them all?

Just when Gu Rubing was helpless, a letter was delivered to him.

This letter was written by Sun Jian.

After opening it, Gu Rubing found that most of the messages were scolding him, asking why he started a war at will and ignored the peace during the armistice period.

Gu Rubing sneered after reading this. This is a war. Do you really think this is a child's play? Before unification, where does the word peace come from?
Gu Rubing turned directly to the last page, which actually wanted the three parties to meet again.

This made Gu Rubing a little confused. Things had already come to this. What was the point of the three parties meeting again?

Just when Gu Rubing was about to refuse, Zhuge Liang stopped him.

"My lord, don't you want to find the location of the Gu Clan? Why don't we let Sun Jian bring the leader of the Gu Clan to meet us, and then find an opportunity to get the location of the Gu Clan's lair. As long as Jiaozhou is still in our hands, I will be able to make her reveal the location of the Gu Clan."

This served as a reminder to Gu Rubing.

Soon, the news that Gu Rubing agreed to meet was informed to the two.

Sun Jian and Cao Cao immediately rushed to Jiaozhou.

It was originally scheduled for three days later, but Sun Jian and Cao Cao met on the first day.

All of this was under Gu Rubing's surveillance, but he was not in a hurry.

When Cao Cao saw the leader of the Gu tribe following behind Sun Jian, he became confused.

"What are you doing with this Gu tribe leader? Are you planning to assassinate Liu Bei?"

Hearing this, Sun Jian smiled and cried. It was not him who wanted to bring them, but Gu Rubing asked him to bring them. However, Sun Jian also knew that Gu Rubing was going to attack the Gu Clan, so he specifically instructed that no matter what Gu Rubing said, Miao Moqing must not react at all, because Liu Bei was a big liar.

"How could I have the guts to kill Liu Bei? I'm not going to survive."

Sun Jian smiled helplessly.

Seeing that Sun Jian didn't want to talk, Cao Cao didn't bother to ask.

"Okay, tell me, what is the purpose of you calling me here?"

Cao Cao could feel that Sun Jian must have something important to tell him, otherwise why would they have to meet him.

Sun Jian hesitated for a moment and looked around. He knew clearly that everything he and Cao Cao said and did was under each other's surveillance, so he was naturally very careful in what he said and did.

"Prime Minister, do you know the West?"

"Nonsense, of course I know."

Cao Cao rolled his eyes at Sun Jian, but soon he reacted and looked at Sun Jian in front of him. He could feel that Sun Jian was clearly referring to something when he said this.

"What West are you talking about?"

"Rome and Rest."

When Cao Cao heard the words Rome and Parthia, his face suddenly changed.

"How do you know about these two countries?"

Sun Jian did not say anything, but looked at Cao Cao. Looking at Cao Cao's reaction, he felt more and more that Cao Cao was the one who supported Parthia behind the scenes.

"Prime Minister, which of these two countries do you have contact with?"

Cao Cao looked at Sun Jian and asked in confusion, "Did they come after you?"

Sun Jian hesitated for a moment and nodded as a response to Cao Cao's words.

"which one?"

"Rome!"

"Rome is yours?" Cao Cao stood up from the stool and looked at Sun Jian in surprise.

"So, the rest of the world belongs to you, Prime Minister?"

Sun Jian was already clear about Cao Cao's reaction. Cao Cao was going to rest. It turned out that the two of them had schemed against each other before, and the only one who really benefited was Gu Rubing.

Cao Cao also understood. No wonder Zhuge Liang sacrificed himself to get involved. His purpose was to let the two of them start a fight without knowing each other. Now they know it, but both sides have suffered heavy losses. Now the two sides combined are not as big as Rome or Parthia.

"It seems that Liu Bei has been keeping us in the dark all along."

Sun Jian smiled helplessly. When he thought about how he had joined forces with Gu Rubing to swallow Anxi together, he realized how stupid he was back then.

Both of them had done stupid things on the battlefield in the West, and they didn't want to care about it anymore. Now they had only one idea in their minds, which was to ask the West to cease fire, and then direct all their attacks on Gu Rubing.

Just as they both finished speaking, a voice appeared outside the inn where they were staying.

"Since you two are here, why don't we meet earlier?"

When they heard this, they both walked out of the room.

"King Lie, the reason we came here early is because we were afraid of missing the time. There is no need to meet earlier. We also want to take a look around and see if Jiaozhou is better under your governance than before."

After Cao Cao said this, he realized that Jiaozhou previously belonged to Sun Jian.

When he looked at Sun Jian, he found that Sun Jian was looking at him with a gloomy gaze, and the fire in his eyes seemed to burn him to death.

Cao Cao quickly shut his mouth.

"Haha, OK, since Prime Minister Cao wants to go shopping, then go ahead. But you have to be careful. If you encounter any assassination or something, I won't be responsible."

“Don’t worry, King Lie. We all have legendary generals with us. I don’t believe that anyone can hurt us under the protection of legendary generals, unless the other party is also a legendary general. But among these big guys, it seems that there are only three of us with legendary generals. We definitely can’t hurt ourselves. Then it can only be King Lie who has doubts.”

"Haha, Sun Zhoumu, you are joking. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After saying this, Gu Rubing turned around and left. Just when Gu Rubing was about to disappear completely, the voice rang out again.

"Oh, there's one thing I forgot to say. There are too many Gu worms in the mountain. We are going to send people in to clean them up. If the Gu tribe leader has forgotten something in the mountain, you need to get it quickly. We have decided to set fire to the mountain."

When Miao Moqing heard about setting fire to the mountain, his expression suddenly changed.

He couldn't help but wanted to follow him out, but was stopped by Sun Jian.

"What are you going to do?"

"My lord, we of the Gu tribe still have Gu insects in the mountain, and the person we trained is also in the mountain. Nothing can happen to that mountain."

Hearing Miao Moqing's words, Sun Jian smiled helplessly. He knew that this would turn out like this.

"Can you please have some common sense? It's summer now, the temperature isn't very high, and it's not autumn either. How can it be so easy to set fire to the mountain? With so much rain, what kind of fire can burn the mountain?"

Of course Miao Moqing didn't know what Sun Jian meant, but when she thought of the price of setting fire to the mountain, Miao Moqing endured it. She also felt that Gu Rubing would not burn the mountain.

Gu Rubing stood outside and waited for a while. When he saw that Miao Moqing had no intention of coming out, he gave up helplessly and had to let Zhuge Liang take action.

When Zhuge Liang saw Gu Rubing coming back, he immediately laughed.

When Gu Rubing went out, he made a bet with him about who would lead Miao Moqing out.

Originally, when Gu Rubing learned that the Gu insects were all in the mountains, he had thought about setting fire to the mountain. Since he couldn't find the Gu tribe's nest, he might as well burn it down. But then he thought, now is not a good season for lighting a fire. Kerosene is a powerful weapon for defending and attacking cities, and it cannot be used so casually to set fire.

But Gu Rubing felt that Miao Moqing would definitely not understand all this, so he thought this method would definitely work, and that's why he made a bet with Zhuge Liang with full confidence.

The result was obvious. He lost miserably. Miao Moqing didn't even want to talk to him.

What Gu Rubing didn't know was that Miao Moqing wanted to talk to him and even wanted to come find him, but was stopped by Sun Jian.

"My Lord, it seems that your method is not very effective. In this case, why not let Liang give it a try? Maybe my method is not bad?"

Looking at Zhuge Liang's mysterious look, Gu Rubing rolled his eyes at him.

Gu Rubing wanted to see what would attract the leader of the Gu tribe since his threat to set fire to the mountain was useless.

"Okay, if you can lure out the Gu tribe leader, I will treat all the soldiers to wine and meat for three full days."

"Then Liang would like to thank you for the gift, my lord."

Zhuge Liang smiled, turned around and walked out of the room.

Sun Jian and Cao Cao strolled around the street for a while. After all, they had told Gu Rubing that they wanted to see the market in Jiaozhou, so they naturally had to pretend to do so.

Following behind him were Miao Moqing and four legendary generals.

Miao Moqing originally didn't want to hang out with them, as she was still worried about what Gu Rubing said about setting fire to the mountain. But she couldn't resist Sun Jian's request, so she had to follow them.

Sun Jian was also afraid that Gu Rubing would suddenly come to Miao Moqing when he was away.

The leader of the Gu tribe is a powerful killer. If Gu Rubing attacks Miao Moqing, I may not be able to stop him without Cao Cao.

While strolling around, Miao Moqing suddenly saw a circular mark on a wall in a corner of the street, and there were three dots inside the circle.

Miao Moqing lost her composure in an instant.

"My Lord, I have something that I need to take care of."

"Something? What else do you have to do in Jiaozhou?"

After hearing Sun Jian's words, Miao Moqing didn't explain anything and walked away thinking alone.

Sun Jian hesitated for a moment, then told Sun Ce behind him, "Ce'er, follow and take a look. This is Liu Bei's territory. Be careful. If there is any danger, come to us immediately."

"I understand, Father."

After Sun Ce left, Sun Jian looked at Miao Moqing's back in the distance, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Miao Moqing followed the mark and came to a corner.

"Come out! Who's looking for me?"

As Miao Moqing's voice fell, Zhuge Liang waved a feather fan and slowly walked out from behind, followed by Zhao Yun.
