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

Gu Rubing did not directly state his purpose.

After it was discovered that Jiaozhou was the base camp of the Gu tribe, Gu Rubing brought Hua Tuo from Sili to Jiaozhou.

But after Hua Tuo came, he stayed in the room and never came out.

Before, Gu Rubing had been busy with various things and neglected Hua Tuo. This time, the threat posed by the Gu tribe to him became greater, so he remembered that he had Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor.

Hua Tuo poured tea for the two of them. Gu Rubing didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually felt that the tea in his hand also had the taste of medicinal herbs.

"Sir, you have been in Jiaozhou for a long time. You must have studied a lot about the Gu tribe, right? Do you have a way to crack the Gu tribe?"

Hua Tuo gave a bitter smile in response to Gu Rubing's words.

The Gu clan has been developing for hundreds of years. How could I find a way to crack it in such a short time?
Looking at Hua Tuo's appearance, Gu Rubing knew that even Hua Tuo had no reliable method.

"My lord, although I haven't found the weakness of the Gu tribe yet, I have found some ways to crack the poison gas they release. As long as you reserve a certain amount of medicinal materials, I can guarantee that a hundred thousand troops can function normally in the poison fog within twelve hours. But it will only be twelve hours at most, and it can only be a hundred thousand troops."

"Okay, I understand. If you need anything, just tell the Prime Minister and he will solve it for you."

With Gu Rubing's consent, Hua Tuo nodded.

Compared with the potential troubles facing Gu Rubing, Huang Zhong is facing a great danger right before his eyes.

After Huang Zhong occupied the territory of Parthia, he did not take any further action but instead guarded the border.

Originally, Huang Zhong planned to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers. When Zhuge Liang left, he told Huang Zhong that after occupying Parthia, he should take back all the valuable things in Parthia and then withdraw to Liangzhou.

According to Zhuge Liang's calculations, as long as Huang Zhong left, such a large territory of Parthia would be divided madly by Parthia and Rome. At that time, the vortex between the two sides would become more complicated, and Huang Zhong would only need to watch the show in Liangzhou.

But something went wrong, although it wasn't a big deal.

Since the battle, after Huang Zhong shot Caesar to death, he later killed four famous generals from Rome and Parthia. His current experience value has reached (95/100). As long as he kills one more famous general, he can become a legendary general.

Moreover, after the fight, Huang Zhong discovered that the Parthian side had ten famous generals including the king, while the Roman side had nearly sixteen famous generals.

Although the strength of these famous generals is far inferior to that of the famous generals of the Han Dynasty, they are still famous generals after all.

At this time, Huang Zhong actually became a little greedy.

Looking at the younger generations around him, who have all become legendary generals, it would be a lie to say that Huang Zhong was not anxious. He had never had an opportunity before, but now the opportunity is right in front of him. If he were asked to retreat, he would definitely be unwilling to do so.

"Old General, according to the report from our spies, Parthia and Rome have already ceased hostilities. Both sides seem to be waiting for something, and the special forces of Parthia and Rome have also appeared."

Huang Zhong frowned slightly as he listened to Taishi Ci's report.

Since Rome's special troops have also appeared, it means that Sun Jian has sent his men back. I'm afraid Sun Jian and Cao Cao already know who is behind them, and both sides are obviously planning to form an alliance.

Now they have just occupied all the territories of Parthia and have not had time to improve their territory. If the people of the Great Empire counterattack at this time, they will definitely not be able to hold on.

Huang Zhong looked at the map in his hand and finally decided to retreat back to Liangzhou according to the order left by Zhuge Liang before he left.

During the occupation for so many days, Huang Zhong had been following Zhuge Liang's instructions and taking away everything he could, including the population.

Huang Zhong has been driving all the people in Parthia to Liangzhou for many days.

Then, these people were transferred from Liangzhou to the eleven states of the Han Dynasty under the control of Gu Rubing.

Fortunately, the population of Anxi is not very large, otherwise, Gu Rubing’s territory might not be able to accommodate it.

"Ziyi, you take the army back to Liangzhou and make sure to guard it strictly. Don't let anyone else's spies get out."

Faced with such a large population, Zhuge Liang was aware that it would be easy for the enemy to sneak in, so he specifically instructed Huang Zhong to guard against it strictly. After all the Parthians entered Liangzhou, all cities in Liangzhou should be closed immediately, allowing only entry but not exit. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be executed.

Taishi Ci nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly looked at Huang Zhong.

"The old general means that you won't go with us?"

"I'm still a little bit short. I'll lead the White Feather Light Cavalry and charge again. Maybe if I'm lucky enough, I can kill a famous general. Then I can become a legendary general too."

Hearing this, Taishi Ci smiled helplessly.

This kind of thing might not have been a problem ten days ago. At that time, they killed Caesar and many Romans wanted to seek revenge on them, including three famous generals, but they were all dealt with by Huang Zhong.

After that, Huang Zhong's nickname "the God of Archery" spread throughout the West.

Now, the famous generals of the two empires turned around and ran when they saw Huang Zhong, not giving Huang Zhong any chance to attack.

"Old General, you'd better come with me. I'm afraid you don't have a chance here."

Huang Zhong gave a bitter smile upon hearing this, but he was indeed unwilling to accept it.

Just as they were discussing whether to stay, a messenger came to Huang Zhong.

"General, news has come from the army ahead that reinforcements from the two empires are on their way here. They will reach our location in three hours at most."

"I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly. How many generals are there? How many troops?"

"We have observed that there are ten famous generals coming this time, leading an army of 200,000. Among them there seems to be a special force of the Parthians, the Parthian cavalry, and a group of people dressed very strangely, who should be a special force of the Romans."

Huang Zhong knew that the two empires were about to take back their territories. With ten famous generals, even Huang Zhong would not dare to stay.

In the end, Huang Zhong had no choice but to lead his men and completely withdraw from the territory of the Parthian Empire, but left behind the territory of the Western Regions as a buffer zone between the two sides and also as a future war zone to prevent the war from spreading to the mainland of Liangzhou.

The Parthians and Romans moved very quickly, and in just three days they occupied the entire territory of the Parthian Empire.

But the two sides joined forces this time entirely because of the existence of Huang Zhong, the archery god. No one wanted to face Huang Zhong, so in the end they had to come together.

Now that Huang Zhong has left, the two empires are no longer threatened from the outside and they have started fighting among themselves again.

While Parthia was not able to react, Rome seized half of the Parthian Empire's territory, and no matter how hard Parthia tried, it would not get it back.

In the end, the two sides started fighting again.

After Cao Cao learned about the situation of Parthia, he was so angry that he wanted to send troops to destroy Parthia right away, maybe he could even upgrade Dian Wei or something. But Cao Cao also knew that he needed Parthia now, or even Rome.

Since their last meeting, Gu Rubing has used a large number of troops to completely seal off Jiaozhou.

Neither Sun Jian nor Cao Cao had any way to communicate with each other, and Gu Rubing had also deployed a large number of troops on both sides of the defense line, which made Cao Cao even more embarrassed.

Now, whether it is Cao Cao or Sun Jian, they both need the power of the West to divide Gu Rubing's military forces.

After all, Liangzhou, which the West has come into contact with, is Gu Rubing's rear base. If something happens in the rear base, Gu Rubing will not sit idly by.

In desperation, Cao Cao could only use the method he least wanted to use.

late at night.

Cao Cao took Cao Zhang and quietly left the Yizhou camp without anyone noticing.

No one knew that Cao Cao had left, not even Gu Rubing, the spy hidden in Cao Cao's camp. Only Xun Yu knew about it, and the next day he informed everyone that Cao Cao was ill. All food expenses had to be delivered to Cao Cao by Xu Chu and Dian Wei. The two legendary generals and Wu Pu were all in Cao Cao's tent, guarding it day and night.

Gu Rubing looked at the information in his hand and suddenly became curious.

"What disease did Cao Cao have? Why is he defending so tightly? Is it a plague?"

Upon hearing about the plague, Zhuge Liang looked at Gu Rubing. If this was true, now would be the best time to attack Cao's camp.

However, when he learned that there was no sign of plague in Cao's camp, Zhuge Liang finally gave up.

It is obvious that Cao Cao is not a plague, otherwise a similar situation would have occurred in the entire military camp long ago.

However, Zhuge Liang did not care. He even hoped that Cao Cao would die in the camp. As long as Cao Cao died, Yizhou would be within his reach.

Because of Miao Moqing and Meng Huo, Zhuge Liang had to change his original offensive strategy. Originally, Zhuge Liang wanted to destroy Sun Jian first and then destroy Cao Cao, but now it seems that destroying Cao Cao first is his best option.

a few days later.

Cao Cao appeared in the territory of the Parthian Empire with Cao Zhang.

King Ardavan went out personally to greet Cao Cao.

"Meet Prime Minister Cao of the Han Dynasty."

Cao Cao nodded but said nothing.

Ardaban frowned slightly when he saw this. As a king, he had come out to greet him in person, but Cao Cao still had such an attitude. It seemed that he looked down on him too much.

Although he thought so in his heart, Ardaban did not show any dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, he smiled and led his men, following Cao Cao, into the palace.

Cao Cao was not polite and sat directly on the throne.

Ardaban's expression suddenly changed when he saw this.

What the throne represents is something that everyone knows. If it were someone else, Ardaban would probably order the person on the throne to be hacked to death. But the person sitting on the throne now is Cao Cao, especially Cao Zhang beside him. Ardaban is a king and a famous general. His strength is not weak either. But when he saw Cao Zhang, he actually felt a palpitation.

That is a feeling of fear that only comes when seeing a strong person. This feeling only occurs when facing someone who is much stronger than oneself.

"Prime Minister Cao, I wonder what brings you here this time?"

Ardaban looked at Cao Cao in front of him. He had a feeling that the purpose of Cao Cao's visit this time was definitely not simple. And for some reason, he always felt that Cao Zhang's eyes were often looking at him, as if he would die at any time and anywhere.

"Don't call me Prime Minister anymore. I am the governor of Yizhou now."

"Okay, Caozhou Mu, I wonder if you have any plans for this visit?"

"Of course, I just got the information that Rome has someone behind it. My request is very simple, that is, Parthia and Rome should cease fire and fight against Liangzhou together. After that, you can divide the territories of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region and the territories of Liangzhou equally with Rome."

"This……"

When Ardaban heard what Cao Cao said, he hesitated.

Parthia and Rome have had a lot of hatred over the years. Even if Parthia wants to withdraw its troops now, I am afraid that Rome will not give up attacking them.

In fact, how this war should end is not in Anxi's hands.

"What? Do you have any objection? King, you must not forget who made the contribution to your long-lasting rest."

"Caozhou Mu, I know it's your contribution, but I can't solve the problem you mentioned. It's a unanimous decision of all of us to attack Rome. Even if I agree, others will not agree, and the civilians of Rest will not agree."

Cao Cao could see that Ardaban was just making excuses.

However, Cao Cao was not in a hurry, but looked at other people present.

"Everyone, I have just told you my conditions. Who agrees and who disagrees?"

"I object."

Just as Cao Cao's voice fell, Surena walked out from behind.

As soon as Cao Cao saw Surena, he felt a headache.

Surena was very popular within the Parthian Empire. His status in the Parthian people was like that of Zhuge Liang. Moreover, several famous battles of the Parthian Empire were commanded by Surena. Otherwise, it was very likely that the Parthian Empire would have been destroyed by Rome. Then why would he have come here?
"Surena tell me your reasons."

Cao Cao sighed helplessly.

"Caozhou Mu, I feel that you have selfish motives in asking us to do this. You just want us to help you pull Gu Rubing and use him to divide the troops. Then, isn't what we get too little? I don't think that our combat effectiveness is that high, and with Huang Zhong stationed there, what good will it do even if we take action?"

Surena's analysis was so logical that even Ardaban's hesitant look suddenly became firm. It was obvious that no matter what, the chance of cooperating with Rome was gone.

In desperation, Cao Cao could only choose the disgust he least wanted.

"Zhang'er, the rest is up to you. Remember, you can only kill the king. None of the others can die. We still need to keep them to help us control the Parthian Empire!" (End of this chapter)
