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

After days of fighting, in just ten days, almost the entire Xuzhou was now owned by Gu Rubing.

After Lu Bu's death, the recapture of Xuzhou was actually a certainty.

Many cities would take the initiative to surrender without even having to attack, which greatly saved Gu Rubing a lot of time and trouble.

Before I knew it, the fifteenth day had passed.

In the yamen of Xiapi Mansion.

Civil and military officers gathered together, and all the generals were reporting to Gu Rubing on the recent battle situation. Everyone's face was very excited.

The battle is going very smoothly, and the entire Xuzhou has been captured.

How could they be unhappy?

Even Gu Rubing was quite excited. After all, Xuzhou is an important town in the Central Plains. Not to mention the geographical location is very important, and it will also play a great role in his future development.

Gu Rubing was naturally excited.

But at this moment, the guard outside the door suddenly came to report.

"Report!!"

"My lord, Sun Jian from Jiangdong has envoys coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the laughter in the entire hall suddenly stopped.

Even Gu Rubing couldn't help but frown, and looked directly at Fazheng: "Xiaozhi, Jiangdong is here to envoy, why didn't I receive the news?"

When the two parties send envoys to each other, letters often need to be sent before the person arrives in person, but Gu Rubing has never received this news.

Fazheng also had a puzzled look on his face. Seeing Gu Rubing ask the question, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I don't know."

"This is to catch me off guard."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rubing immediately guessed Sun Jian's purpose. Looking at the guard who came to report, he pondered for a moment and then said: "Let him in!"

"Brother! Is Sun Jian coming to divide the land?"

Zhang Fei looked at Gu Rubing and the three gentlemen, whose expressions suddenly changed, and realized what was going on. His face immediately showed anger: "You must not give it to him! This is..."

Before Zhang Fei could finish speaking, Gu Rubing interrupted him quickly: "Third brother, let's listen to what the messenger said!"

"Hmph!" Zhang Fei snorted coldly.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the other generals also darkened.

They knew about Gu Rubing's original agreement with Sun Jian.

But they originally agreed to attack Lu Bu from both front and rear, but what was the result?

Sun Jian was defeated by Lu Bu, which had no effect at all. These generals finally captured Xuzhou, how could they be willing to give it to Sun Jian?

The same is naturally true for Gu Rubing.

After a while, the messenger walked in slowly.

"I have been ordered by my lord to pay a special visit to Duke Liu and congratulate him on annihilating the Lu bandits."

The envoy bowed to Gu Rubing very respectfully.

"Envoy Sun's visit this time should be more than just congratulations, right?" Gu Rubing looked at the envoy in the hall and asked lightly.

And the envoy did not hide anything. He immediately bowed to Gu Rubing again and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Liu Gong Mingjian, I am here specifically to invite Mr. Liu to make an appointment that day."

As soon as these words came out.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire hall turned cold.

Countless cold eyes immediately looked at the messenger in the hall, causing his originally smiling expression to suddenly freeze.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fei's rough roar rang out.

"Perform the contract? Fulfill the promise! What credit does your lord have to do that you have the nerve to let my eldest brother fulfill the contract?"

Zhang Fei's voice was extremely deafening, and it spread throughout the entire lobby in an instant.

Hearing this, the envoy's face suddenly turned red, but he still performed his duties perfectly. He bowed his hands towards Zhang Fei and said, "That's not what the general said."

"Although my lord is defeated, if my lord hadn't dragged Lu Bu out, how could Mr. Liu have invaded Xiapi so easily and burned the food and grass in the city?"

"Although my lord failed to cooperate with Liu Gong, without my lord, Liu Gong would never have conquered Xiapi so easily. I think Liu Gong also understands this."

The envoy had obviously already thought about how to deal with it, and acted very naturally. At the end of the sentence, he even raised his hand to Gu Rubing.

"No! I will never give it!"

Zhang Fei shouted regardless: "If your lord refuses to accept it, let him lead his troops to get it himself. How can you be so shameless after defeating someone in the battle!"

Zhang Fei became angrier as he spoke, and even wanted to walk up and throw the envoy down.

But before he could reach the messenger, Gu Rubing's voice rang directly: "Third brother, stand down!"

"Brother!"

Zhang Fei was still a little dissatisfied: "Then Sun Jian has no merit, how can we allocate land to him?"

Gu Rubing didn't say much, just glanced at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei also immediately understood what Gu Rubing meant. Although he still didn't want to, he could only endure it.

There was silence in the entire hall.

The expressions of all the generals were a little ugly, and so were the three of them, Fazheng, Chen Dengxi and Zhicai.

But compared to the generals, the three of them still knew the relationship.

Gu Rubing has always been based on benevolence and righteousness.

There was an alliance with Sun Jian, but now if he breaks the agreement, he may be criticized by the world. Sun Jian's contribution can allow him to directly take half of Xuzhou, let alone Gu Rubing, even they are not willing.

Gu Rubing naturally understood this.

In fact, Sun Jian did not have much credit for conquering Xuzhou this time.

But it’s not necessarily true that he has no merit at all.

After all, he created an opportunity for himself to attack the city and burn food and grass, saving himself a lot of time.

But if Gu Rubing were to directly give him half of the land, that would naturally be impossible!

"Mr. Liu."

Seeing that Gu Rubing remained silent, the envoy bowed his hands towards Gu Rubing again and said, "My lord knows very well that Mr. Liu is the great contributor to the Ping Lu bandits."

"So I don't want to share the land of Xuzhou with Liu Ping."

"My lord has said that as long as Mr. Liu gives the entire Guangling County to my lord."

This is what Zhou Yu taught him before he came, in order to make progress by retreating.

But as soon as these words came out.

Zhang Fei, who had just calmed down, immediately stopped, and strong anger immediately emerged from him.

"Return to the entire Guangling County? Not at all! Don't even think about it!"

he yelled.

And as soon as he opened his mouth, the patient generals around him could no longer control themselves.

Taishi Ci immediately sneered and said: "Huh! You have no merit and you still want to divide the land of a county. Is your lord really shameless if he succeeds?"

Zhao Yun also had a sarcastic look on his face: "This Xuzhou is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and my lord is a descendant of the royal family. He fights for the country, so how can we divide the land?"

"No distinction! Absolutely no distinction!"

"Lord, give it absolutely to Sun Jian!!"

"Let Sun Jian fight, lord, we will definitely be able to help lord defeat the enemy!"

The generals and soldiers were excited.

Seeing this scene, the messenger's expression became increasingly ugly, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Gu Rubing looked at Fazheng Xi Zhicai and the other three, and said softly: "What do you think, gentlemen?"

"Lord, do you still remember the arrangements for that day?"

Chen Deng said in a suppressed voice.

Fazheng and Xi Zhicai also nodded slightly.

Hearing this, Gu Rubing's eyes also moved, and then he stretched out his hand to interrupt the excited soldiers, looked at the envoy and said: "I, Liu Bei, am a man of justice, but the envoy must know that this time the attack is slow, our army The casualties were huge.”

"The envoy should have seen the attitude of the generals."

"In this way, I am willing to make the decision directly and allocate the three cities south of Huai River to General Sun."

"what do you think?"

After hearing this, the messenger's expression darkened, and he said hesitantly: "This"

Before coming here, Zhou Yu had clearly told him that he nominally wanted the entire Guangling County, but if Liu Bei never agreed, he would have to go to at least half of Guangling.

But what the hell are the three cities south of the Huai River?

He knew that those three cities were just small towns and could not station any troops.

What is the use of these three cities?

Doesn’t Liu Bei just take it back whenever he wants?

Thinking about it, the envoy's expression suddenly darkened, and he quickly shook his head and said, "Mr. Liu must never be divided like this."

"What!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Fei's roar immediately rang out: "If my elder brother can divide your city, it will be the end of his benevolence. What else do you want?"

"If I don't give it anymore, I won't give it to a city!"

Zhang Fei roared angrily.

And Gu Rubing didn't say much about this.

Upon seeing this, the envoy immediately understood Gu Rubing's thoughts.

His expression suddenly changed. Thinking of Zhou Yu's explanation, he took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said immediately: "Mr. Liu, my lord is willing to take one step back."

"As long as half of the land of Guangling County is enough, if Mr. Liu is not willing to do this, he will be criticized by the world."

The words just fell.

Zhang Fei could no longer control his anger and shouted directly: "Get out, get out!"

"I still want half of Guangling! I'm just talking nonsense!"

Zhang Fei cursed and gestured to rush forward.

The surrounding soldiers no longer stopped Zhang Fei and allowed him to walk out of the crowd.

Seeing this scene, the envoy's expression suddenly changed, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

It was not until Zhang Fei was about to walk in front of him that Gu Rubing's voice rang out: "Third brother, don't be rude!"

As he said that, he looked at the envoy again and said, "It is my greatest sincerity to be able to get out of three cities."

"Please go back and report to General Sun first."

After hearing this, the envoy's expression became more and more ugly, as if he still had something to say, but after looking at the excited generals, he hesitated for a moment, and then he raised his hand to Gu Rubing again. , and immediately walked out directly.

At this time, in the live broadcast room.

Looking at the messenger's back, barrages kept flashing in the live broadcast room.

"It's getting better, it's getting better. I know that Liu Caoxie will not be willing to part with Sun Jiandi. Now the two of them will probably have a rift."

"I have to say that Sun Jian and Zhou Yu are really greedy. They actually want an entire county. Liu Caoxie went through so much effort to capture Xuzhou. How could he agree?"

"Indeed, with Sun Jian's contribution, it is considered good to be divided into three cities, but I feel that Sun Jian will not be willing to accept it!"

"Yes, yes, yes, although Sun Jian is not prepared to divide Xuzhou equally, but what he wants is an important town that can station troops. He will definitely refuse to agree to these three small towns that are insignificant and cannot station troops!"

"Then do you think Sun Menghu and Liu Caoxie will fight?"

"I don't think so. After all, Sun Menghu hasn't conquered the entire Jiangdong yet. Although the overall situation has been decided, he shouldn't be stupid enough to fight on two fronts."

"I really can't say for sure. Sun Jian attaches great importance to Xuzhou. This is the foundation for his future hegemony in the Central Plains. How could he give up like this?"

"You can't tell, I can't tell, it feels like there might actually be a fight!"

"."

Countless barrages flashed by, and everyone couldn't help but start to look forward to it as they watched the messenger leave.

At the same time, in the lobby.

When the messenger's figure completely disappeared, Gu Rubing immediately looked at the generals, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Move troops to Guangling to prevent Sun Jian from attacking!"

He didn't know whether Sun Jian would invade Xuzhou.

But precisely because of this, he had to guard against this!

Five days later.

In Moling City, the envoy who had just returned to Jiangdong was immediately summoned by Sun Jian.

"My lord, although I insist on it, Liu Bei is only willing to give me three cities south of the Huai River, without any leeway, and all his soldiers are unwilling to divide even one city."

"Including Fazheng and others did not say anything about this."

The envoy briefly told Sun Jian about the situation in Xiapi that day.

Listening to the envoy's words about the generals being shameless and losing the battle, Sun Jian's face gradually showed anger: "How dare these common men humiliate me like this?"

"Lord."

Zhou Yu on the side also had a solemn expression at this time. He looked at Sun Jian and said directly: "This matter must not end like this."

"Huh?" Sun Jian was slightly startled.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said: "Although there are dangers in Jiangdong, if my lord has great ambitions, he must set foot in the Central Plains."

"This opportunity will be the best opportunity for my lord!"

Hearing this, Sun Jian's eyes immediately moved. He looked at Zhou Yu and said directly: "What do you mean by Gong Jin?"

"My lord, Liu Bei betrayed his alliance, why can't we send troops?"

Facing Sun Jian's eyes, Zhou Yu said directly: "If we can capture Guangling, the door to Xuzhou will be opened."

"Now the overall situation of Jiangdong has been decided. As long as Jiangdong is leveled, the lord will immediately use the map of Guangling to plot Xuzhou and even the whole world!"

Zhou Yu's tone was very soft, but after hearing this, Sun Jian's entire expression immediately became serious.

Looking at Zhou Yu in front of him, he pondered for a long time, and then said: "What is Gong Jin's clever plan?"

"I would like to suggest that my lord can personally lead the troops to garrison Danyang, and then talk to Liu Bei, if he is still unwilling."

Zhou Yu did not continue speaking, but the meaning was obviously very obvious.

Hearing this, Sun Jian nodded directly and immediately asked: "Do I need to bring elites with me this time?"

"That's natural."

Zhou Yu immediately nodded: "Liu Bei is different from Lu Bu. Although Lu Bu is brave but ignorant, Liu Bei is both civil and military. My lord will definitely take away all the heroes when he goes this time, and I will also go with my lord!"

"What should Jiang Dong do?" Sun Jian frowned.

Zhou Yu smiled faintly, cupped his hands directly towards Sun Jian and said: "It is enough for the young master to stay behind. With the young master's current reputation, as long as he is here, the enemy will never dare to act rashly!"

Sun Jian was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes!"

Seeing this scene, the live broadcast room that had been paying attention and waiting for news suddenly exploded! .
