Chapter 567 Completely Clear!
This time, all the defenses in Jiaozhou were personally directed by Zhuge Liang, and their rigor was much higher than that of Gu Rubing.
Looking at Zhuge Liang's personnel arrangements and defensive positions, Gu Rubing felt that even if he gave himself 200,000 troops, he might not be able to win Jiaozhou.
With this level of defense, Gu Rubing no longer has to worry about Jiaozhou's defense. Instead, he is now a little curious about what is going on with the Gu clan in Jiaozhou.
If he could figure out the Gu clan, he might not have to suffer such heavy losses when facing the Gu clan, and Sun Jian's trump card would no longer threaten his army.
Gu Rubing then began to send people to inquire about all aspects of the Gu clan.
At this time, on the battlefield of Anxi, Cao Zhen led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to join.
Rome quickly sent the battle report to Sun Jian.
Sulla saw the battle report and immediately found Sun Jian.
"Sun Zhoumu, have you sent someone to join Anxi?"
"Huh? Sulla, are you kidding me? How could I send someone to help An Xi? I have spent so much effort and so much manpower and material resources on Rome, how could I possibly side with the enemy?"
"But we got intelligence that the Han's cavalry was the first to appear on the battlefield."
After speaking, Sulla translated the battle report into words that Sun Jian could understand and put it in front of Sun Jian.
When Sun Jian saw the situation described in the battle report, he did agree with the standards of the Han Dynasty, but this kind of thing is impossible. The mysterious cavalry of the Han Dynasty was written in the battle report.
In Sun Jian's mind, the only person besides himself who could participate in the war between Rome and Parthia was Gu Rubing. But if it was really Gu Rubing, how could there be a mysterious cavalry who fought with Gu Rubing for such a long time? , if Lian Gu Rubing doesn't know what cavalry he has in his hands, then Rome is too stupid.
He didn't send anyone, not Gu Rubing, so there was only one person in the entire Han Dynasty who had the ability to send troops to Rome.
Cao Cao?
Sun Jian immediately sent someone to contact Cao Cao and asked to meet.
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 Anxi belonged to Cao Cao. Otherwise, Cao Cao would definitely intervene, and then there would be no guarantee that Rome would not belong to him.
After all, I am a veteran in this field. If I hadn't intervened in the relationship between Shi Xie and the Gu clan, how could I have made Miao Moqing and the entire Gu clan work for me?
Cao Cao naturally received Sun Jian's request to meet.
But soon Cao Cao was in trouble. Yangzhou and Yizhou only saw one Jiaozhou. They could meet in Jiaozhou again, but now the entire Jiaozhou is in the hands of Gu Rubing. Now the two of them can only disguise themselves as messengers. It is really difficult to pass the message to the other party and if the two parties want to meet.
Gu Rubing was also in trouble at this time. He had been in the Gu clan for a long time. During this time, he had indeed found out a lot about the Gu clan, but there was no information about the Gu clan's lair. Moreover, he had also rummaged through the surrounding areas. There are no traces of the Gu clan living in the village, and not even a single Gu insect has been found.
Later, after Hua Tuo reminded him, Gu Rubing found out that the voodoos were raised in the mountains, which meant that the voodoo tribe was probably also in the mountains.
But there are too many mountains in Jiaozhou, so how can I find them by myself?
Just when Gu Rubing was helpless, a letter was delivered to Gu Rubing's hands.
This letter was written by Sun Jian.
After opening it, Gu Rubing found that most of the contents were scolding him for starting a war at will, regardless of the peace during the armistice period.
Gu Rubing sneered after reading this, this is a war, do you really think that children are playing house? Before reunification, where did 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. This was already the case. 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 ask Sun Jian to bring the clan leader of the Gu clan to meet, and then find an opportunity to seize the location of the Gu clan's lair. As long as Jiaozhou is still in our hands, I have a way to make her expose the Gu clan’s location.”
This was a wake-up call for Gu Rubing.
Soon, Gu Rubing informed the two of them that they agreed to meet.
Sun Jian and Cao Cao rushed to Jiaozhou immediately.
It was originally scheduled to be three days later, but Sun Jian and Cao Cao met on the first day.
All this is under Gu Rubing's supervision, but Gu Rubing is not in a hurry.
Cao Cao was suddenly confused when he saw the leader of the Gu tribe following Sun Jian.
"What are you doing with this Gu clan leader? Is it possible that you want to assassinate Liu Bei?"
Hearing this, Sun Jian cried and laughed. It was not Gu Rubing who asked him to bring it, but Sun Jian also knew that Gu Rubing was going to attack the Gu clan, so he specifically told Gu Rubing not to take it with him. Miao Moqing couldn't react to anything Bing said, because Liu Bei was a big liar.
"How can I have the courage? If I come to assassinate Liu Bei, I won't be able to survive."
Sun Jian smiled helplessly.
When he saw that Sun Jian didn't want to say anything, Cao Cao didn't bother to ask.
"Okay, let's talk about it, what is the purpose of you calling me here?"
Cao Cao could feel that Sun Jian must have something important to tell him, otherwise there would be no need to meet.
Sun Jian hesitated for a moment and looked around. He knew in his heart that everything he said and did with Cao Cao was under the surveillance of the other party, so he was naturally particularly careful when talking and doing things.
"Prime Minister, do you know the West?"
"Nonsense, of course I know."
Cao Cao rolled his eyes at Sun Jian, but soon, Cao Cao reacted. Looking at Sun Jian in front of him, he could feel that when Sun Jian said these words, he obviously meant something.
"What kind of West are you talking about?"
"Rome and Rest."
Cao Cao's expression suddenly changed when he heard Rome and Anxi.
"How do you know these two countries?"
Sun Jian did not speak, but looked at Cao Cao. Looking at Cao Cao's reaction now, he felt more and more that Cao Cao was the person behind Anxi's support.
"Prime Minister, which of these two countries do you have contact with?"
Cao Cao looked at Sun Jian and asked doubtfully: "Did they find you?"
Sun Jian hesitated for a moment and nodded, responding to Cao Cao's words.
"Which one?"
"Rome!"
"Is Rome yours?"
Cao Cao stood up from his stool and looked at Sun Jian in surprise.
"So, the Prime Minister's rest is yours?"
Regarding Cao Cao's reaction, Sun Jian already knew in his heart that Cao Cao was in peace. The two had plotted against each other before co-writing, and the only one who really benefited was Gu Rubing.
Cao Cao also understood. No wonder Zhuge Liang sacrificed himself to participate. The purpose was to let the two of them start fighting when they didn't know each other. Now they know, but both sides have suffered heavy losses. Now both sides add up. It is not as big as a Rome or a Parthia.
"It seems that we have been kept in the dark by Liu Bei."
Sun Jian smiled helplessly, thinking about how stupid he was when he thought about how he had to join forces with Gu Rubing to swallow the rest together.
The two of them were both people who had done stupid things on the battlefield in the West, and neither of them wanted to care about this matter anymore. Now they only had one idea in their minds, which was to make the West cease the war, and then point all spearheads at Gu. Ru Bing.
Just as they both finished speaking, a voice appeared outside the inn where they were staying.
"You two, since you are both here, why don't we meet earlier?"
When both of them heard this, they both walked out of the room.
"King Lie, the reason why we came here early was just because we were afraid of missing the time. There should be no need to meet earlier. We also want to take a stroll and see how Jiaozhou is under your governance. Is it better than before?”
After Cao Cao said this, he realized that the previous Jiaozhou belonged to Sun Jian.
When he looked at Sun Jian, he found that Sun Jian was looking at him with a gloomy look, and the flames in his eyes seemed to burn him to death.
Cao Cao quickly shut his mouth.
"Haha, okay. Since Prime Minister Cao wants to go shopping, let's continue shopping. But you have to be careful. If you encounter an assassination or something, I don't care."
"Don't worry King Lie. We all have legendary generals. 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 this big man, it seems that there are only three of us with legendary generals. Well, we definitely can't hurt ourselves, then it can only be because King Lie is suspicious. "
"Haha, Sun Zhoumu was joking. If nothing happens, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Gu Rubing turned around and left. Just when Gu Rubing was about to disappear completely, the voice sounded again.
"By the way, there is one thing I forgot to mention. There are too many Gu insects in the mountains. We are going to send people in to clean them up. If the Gu clan leader has something that he forgot in the mountains, he must get it quickly. Ah, we have decided to set the mountain on fire."
As soon as she heard about setting fire to the mountain, Miao Moqing's 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?"
"Lord, our Gu clan still has 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 matter would turn out like this.
"I asked you, can you have some common sense? It is summer, the temperature is not very high, and it is not autumn. How can it be so easy to set fire to the mountains? When there is enough rain, what kind of fire can burn the mountains? Burned?"
Of course Miao Moqing didn't know what Sun Jian meant, but when she thought of the cost of setting fire to the mountain, Miao Moqing endured it. She also felt that Gu Rubing should not burn the mountain.
Gu Rubing, who had been waiting outside for a while, saw that Miao Moqing had no intention of coming out, so he reluctantly gave up and had no choice but to let Zhuge Liang take action.
Zhuge Liang immediately laughed when he saw Gu Rubing coming back.
When Gu Rubing went out, she made a bet with him on who would lure Miao Moqing out.
When Gu Rubing learned that all the Gu insects were in the mountains, he had thought about setting fire to the mountains. Since he couldn't find the Gu clan's lair, he would just burn it down. But when he thought about it, it was really not a good time to start a fire now. During the season, kerosene is a powerful weapon for defending and attacking the city. It cannot be used just to set fire to it.
But Gu Rubing felt that Miao Moqing would definitely not understand this, so he felt that this method would be effective, so he confidently made a bet with Zhuge Liang.
The result was obvious. He lost, and 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 to him, but was stopped by Sun Jian.
"My Lord, it seems that your method is not very useful. In this case, why not let Liang try it? 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 chief of the Gu tribe when his threat of setting fire to the mountain was useless.
"Okay, if you can lure the chief of the Gu tribe out, I will treat all the soldiers to wine and meat for three whole days."
"Then Liang would like to thank you for the gift, my Lord."
Zhuge Liang smiled and turned around and walked out of the room.
Sun Jian and Cao Cao strolled on the street for a while. After all, they told Gu Rubing that they wanted to see the market in Jiaozhou, so they naturally had to pretend.
Behind him followed Miao Moqing and four legendary generals.
Miao Moqing didn't want to hang out with them, and was still worried about what Gu Rubing said about setting fire to the mountain, but she couldn't bear Sun Jian's request, so she had to follow.
Sun Jian was also afraid that Gu Rubing would suddenly find Miao Moqing when he was not around.
This Gu tribe leader was a big killer. If Gu Rubing attacked Miao Moqing, he might not be able to stop him without Cao Cao.
While strolling, Miao Moqing suddenly saw that in a corner of the street, there was a circular mark on a wall, and there were three dots in the circle.
Miao Moqing was instantly upset.
"My lord, I have something to deal with."
"Something? What else do you have in Jiaozhou?"
After hearing Sun Jian's words, Miao Moqing didn't explain anything, and walked away alone.
Sun Jian hesitated for a moment, and then told Sun Ce behind him: "Ce'er, follow them and take a look. This is Liu Bei's territory. Be careful. If there is any danger, come to us quickly."
"Understood, 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 is looking for me?"
Miao Moqing's voice fell, and Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and slowly walked out from behind, followed by Zhao Yun.
"It's really not easy to find a girl to come out!" (End of this chapter)
