Chapter 503: Surrender or Die! Abandon!

The more Cao Cao thought about it, the more frightened he felt. It wasn't until Gu Rubing slammed the teacup on the table that Cao Cao woke up from a dream. In this weather where he was shivering with cold even though he was wrapped in fox fur, a few drops were dripping from Cao Cao's forehead. Cold sweat.

"Did King Wei get frightened when he saw the troops approaching the city?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Gu Rubing's lips. Just now, Cao Cao was stunned on the spot. The sight was really infuriating.

Cao Cao calmed down his agitated mood, chose to ignore Gu Rubing's presence, and turned to look at Zhuge Liang.

"Mr. Zhuge, I wonder if I can give you a favor and go to the palace to talk about it?"

This scene made Gu Rubing freeze on the spot. This Cao Cao was a little too shameless. He was still here, poaching in front of him. He really didn't treat him as a human being.

"Thank you, King Wei, for your kindness. If you have anything, you can tell me here."

Zhuge Liang naturally knew what Cao Cao meant, and immediately rejected Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao was not discouraged. He might be the only legendary counselor in the world. At first, Cao Cao was wondering why Liu Bei had developed so rapidly over this period of time. Now he But I finally figured it out. That's because Liu Bei has the only legendary counselor under his command.

Now Cao Cao has identified Zhuge Liang as the legendary counselor, and will do anything to win over Zhuge Liang.

"I sincerely request Mr. Zhuge to join Meng De. Meng De is willing to let the virtuous prime minister serve, not as the prime minister of the vassal territory, but as the prime minister of the current imperial court!"

As Cao Cao spoke, he sat up straight and bowed to Zhuge Liang in salute. After this operation, everyone around him was stunned. Gu Rubing clenched his fists, wishing he could punch him right now. It hit Cao Cao in the face, but now in front of countless people, he couldn't do it directly.

"The Prime Minister of the imperial court? Can you give in at your request?"

Zhuge Liang said with some confusion. Gu Rubing raised his eyebrows suddenly and looked at Zhuge Liang with some confusion.

Hearing this, Cao Cao felt happy. Zhuge Liang could ask this question in front of Liu Bei. In Cao Cao's view, he was basically inseparable.

"Maybe Mr. Zhuge doesn't know me well. As long as Mr. Zhuge wants, the position of prime minister can be given to Mr. Zhuge immediately. Even if Mr. Zhuge wants to be crowned king, it is not beyond negotiation."

Cao Cao had a smile on his face and looked at Zhuge Liang expectantly, but what Zhuge Liang said next made the smile on his face gradually solidify.

"The position of prime minister is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. The King of Wei can give him whatever he wants. Even if I want to be a king or a vassal, the prime minister can handle it. The arms of the King of Wei are really long, but he can't. Does your Majesty know about King Wei's impassioned words of rebellion? Or is it that King Wei has long since ignored your Majesty and thinks that he alone can act arbitrarily? Or maybe this world does not belong to the Liu family? The world, but the world of your Cao family? "

Zhuge Liang's voice was gentle, and even when he said such earth-shattering words, his tone was still calm, without any aggressive tone.

"Hahahahaha."

Gu Rubing laughed unashamedly at the side. When Zhuge Liang asked just now, he had already thought that Zhuge Liang would behave like this.

Cao Cao's face became even more ugly because of Gu Rubing's ridicule. Only then did he realize that he had been fooled. He had just been distracted by Gu Rubing's inadvertent move, and this happened.

After taking a deep breath, Cao Cao forcibly calmed down his emotions.

"King Lie, tell me, what is your purpose of coming here?"

Gu Rubing looked at Cao Cao as if he were looking at a fool, and then repeated what Cao Cao didn't hear clearly.

"Cao Cao, I'm here to give you two choices, one, surrender, and two, die."

"Hahahaha, Liu Bei! Are you giving me a choice? Or are you asking me to fight you to the death?"

Cao Cao looked ferocious, saying that he was given two choices, but in fact there was only one choice, and that was to let Cao Cao fight him to the end. After all, these two choices were equivalent to no choice.

"The fish is dead and the net is broken? Are you qualified to say such a thing now?"

Gu Rubing's eyes turned cold instantly and interrupted Cao Cao who was about to say something.

"Are you trying to stall for time and wait for support?"

Cao Cao remained silent, acquiescing to what Gu Rubing said, while Gu Rubing drank the tea in the cup with a smile.

"As far as I know, Xu Chu, who is closest to here, will need at least two hours to get back. If Xu Chu goes from the Yuzhou border to Jingzhou now, it may take more than two hours. Cao Cao, think about it carefully. Surrender or die!”

Gu Rubing said with a smile that this move was Zhuge Liang's plan to kill people, and everything was exactly as Zhuge Liang planned. Cao Cao didn't have many people around him, let alone any famous generals.

This is the top reverse thinking. In such a large-scale decisive battle, if any famous general does not go to the battlefield, there will be a huge gap. Therefore, Gu Rubing is sure that with Cao Cao's pride, he will definitely not leave a general beside him. , at best, he is just a first-rate general.

At the same time, in order to prevent Cao Cao from becoming suspicious, Gu Rubing also sent out all the respectable generals under his command. Although some information could not be transmitted to Cao Cao for the time being, after Cao Cao saw the generals on the main battlefield in Jingzhou, he would not have any more suspicion.

So Cao Cao only brought 200 elite troops back to Xudu. He didn't even want to bring a single general. In the end, he brought Deng Ai with him at Xiahou Dun's suggestion. All of this was planned by Zhuge Liang. This time, Zhuge Liang The bet is on human nature and Cao Cao's pride!

Facts have proved that his bet was right. Cao Cao not only brought one first-class general and two hundred elite soldiers, but also killed the only fifteen hundred imperial guardsmen who could be used as backup.

At this time, it was useless even if Cao Cao regretted his intestines.

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he kept thinking about it in his mind. In the end, he realized that apart from surrender, there was only one way to die. Cao Cao clenched his fists unwillingly.

"Did you and Liu Xie have an agreement? Let him lure me back to the palace with a plan to become king, and then kill me here?"

"Cao Cao! Pay attention to your status. You are just a prime minister. Even if you are now the King of Wei and the Regent, you are not worthy of calling His Majesty by his name, right? This alone can punish you for being disrespectful. You are so disrespectful. Let’s get rid of the word “Wei” which stands for “King of Side by Side”.

After finishing speaking, Gu Rubing seemed to have remembered something.

"Oh, no, I'm afraid you don't have a chance to get rid of this. Take him to hell, or surrender, take your choice."

Facing the choice presented by Gu Rubing again, Cao Cao snorted coldly.

"Liu Bei, we are so close and there is a first-rate general behind me. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you first?!"

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, he slammed the quilt. Deng Ai, who was standing not far from Cao Cao, rushed towards Gu Rubing with a three-foot black knife in his hand. In his eyes, there was no one else but Gu Rubing.

"Oh."

A smile appeared on Gu Rubing's lips. Behind Gu Rubing, a rainbow light rushed out and collided with Deng Ai.

While throwing the cup, Cao Cao immediately jumped out of the tea shop, got on his horse, and rushed into Xudu City. On the city wall, there were more than a thousand soldiers guarding the capital. They were also under Cao Cao's command. They were just ordinary soldiers, not elites. They looked at Cao Cao, the two hundred cavalrymen, and the thousands of people who were chasing behind them. They were all ready. As soon as Cao Cao and that man entered the capital, they would immediately Close the city gate.

"Get him!"

Gu Rubing looked at Cao Cao who was escaping, and was not in a hurry to pursue him. Instead, he ordered to surround and kill this first-rate general.

Killing Cao Cao was not his real purpose. His ultimate purpose was just to drive Cao Cao out of Xudu.

If Cao Cao is killed now, he will face endless harassment from Cao Cao's subordinate Dian Wei. A lonely legendary general has too many uncertainties. The more he understands the power of the legendary general, the less Gu Rubing can Dare to act like this, after all, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can't stay by his side all the time. Although Zhao Yun is his personal bodyguard, he is not yet a legendary general. There is a certain gap. Moreover, not only does he need to be protected, Zhuge Liang also needs it.

Before killing Dian Wei, Cao Cao must live, otherwise he will become a knife hanging over their heads that may fall at any time.

The first-class generals who were surrounded looked unusually young, and had not even reached the rank of first-class general. Gu Rubing looked at the young general with some doubts, thinking constantly in his mind, thinking about which high-level generals could compete with the young general in front of him. The top number.

In the end, Gu Rubing's eyes fell on the black sword. There were many generals who used long swords, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Liao, etc. Among those who used this kind of broad sword and it was a black weapon, there was probably only one person who fit the bill.

Deng Ai, a military general of the Wei State in the late Three Kingdoms period, but according to the current timeline, Deng Ai was probably not even born yet, let alone going to the battlefield. His age really doesn't match up, but with a black sword, he fought The strength is equally strong, Gu Rubing really can't think of anyone else.

Then there is only one explanation that can be correct, and that is that the current timeline is in chaos because the changes are too great. Sun Jian, the man who can change the direction of history, is still alive and unified the land of Kyushu by himself. Liu Xie also inherited the throne earlier, and his age was also inappropriate.

Also, he had just learned that in Yongchang County in the southwest of Yizhou, a famous general named Meng Huo had risen up, but now he has disappeared. All these circumstances show that the current timeline is in chaos.

Without thinking any more, Gu Rubing looked at the two people who were fighting each other on the battlefield.

The general wearing the iconic helmet of the White Guards was one of the earliest veterans who followed Gu Rubing. His name was Chen Dao. Although this general was not as famous as the Five Tiger Generals, the Five Sons of Good Generals, the Eight Tigers of Cao and Wei, and the Five Hegemons of Wu. Although famous, it was also one of the important combat forces in the late Shu Kingdom.

In history, the chief general who commanded the Baijie soldiers was Chen Dao. Chen Dao was also one of the first batch of people to transfer to the Baijie soldiers. He worked hard all the way and has now become a first-class general. Although he is not regarded as a general unit and cannot be given to his subordinates. The part provides a large number of characteristic bonuses, but you can enjoy the characteristic bonuses. The combat power is also outstanding, but it is still inferior to the orthodox first-class generals.

At this moment, the two of them were fighting back and forth in the encirclement. Deng Ai was not weak either. He was wielding a big sword like Huhu Shengfeng. Although he was young, he was not weaker than Chen Dao. The strength of the two was almost the same.

But there are still a group of second-rate generals enjoying the bonus of characteristics and thousands of third-rate generals around him. Even if he is stronger, even if he is a famous general, he will probably be lost here.

The third-rate generals of special arms are much stronger than ordinary third-rate generals, especially those under Gu Rubing and Cao Cao. The third-rate generals of special arms under their command can completely defeat the authentic third-rate generals under Shi Xie and Liu Zhang.

The difference between the second-rate generals of special arms and ordinary second-rate generals is very small, but it also varies according to the characteristic bonus. With a high characteristic bonus, the second-rate generals of special arms are stronger than ordinary second-rate generals.

As for the first-rate generals of special arms, their strength is much lower than that of ordinary first-rate generals. For example, Chen Dao and Deng Ai, who have been promoted for a long time and enjoy high characteristic bonuses, fight back and forth with Deng Ai. You must know that Deng Ai is much younger, his strength has not yet fully developed, and he has been promoted to a first-rate general for a relatively short time.

Originally, Gu Rubing thought that Cao Cao might bring a first-class general with him, but it would not be one of those well-known ones, such as the other three of the Five Sons and Generals, and the remaining seven of the Eight Tiger Riders, etc., would not be kept by Cao Cao. As the upper-level combat forces, they must join the war.

However, they did not expect that these people did not have Deng Ai, but Deng Ai appeared. As a general who could be ranked, Deng Ai's strength was still very impressive, but he had not grown up yet, otherwise Chen Dao would not be Deng Ai's opponent.

However, he was now facing a first-class general of a special army, and nearly ten second-class generals of special arms. Under their joint siege, Deng Ai was not killed, and was thrown on the head by Chen Dao with a spear, fell to the ground, and then was captured by the Bai Li soldiers who surrounded him, and knelt in front of Gu Rubing with his hands tied.

Looking at Cao Cao who was already standing on the city wall in the distance, Gu Rubing smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello.

"Cao Cao, you are running really fast. If you run any faster, you will probably meet Xu Chu who is heading north."

Cao Cao's face was livid. He had not looked better since Zhuge Liang teased him. He looked at Gu Rubing and Zhuge Liang fiercely and could not speak.

But Gu Rubing did not intend to let him go.

"You took the life of an unknown general to exchange your own life so that you can wait for Xu Chu alive. Cao Cao, you really made a good plan. I just don't know what this general you left here thinks. Does he know that the lord he desperately protects and the mission he desperately performs are just treating him as a chess piece?"

Gu Rubing said something, glanced at Deng Ai who was bowing his head, and said the last sentence.

"No, it's a discarded piece!"
