Chapter 572: Helpless Huang Zhong
Gu Rubing did not directly state his purpose.
It was not until Jiaozhou became the base camp of the Gu tribe that Gu Rubing brought Hua Tuo from Sili to Jiaozhou.
But after Hua Tuo came, he stayed in the room and never came out.
Gu Rubing had been busy with various things before, but neglected Hua Tuo. This time, the threat of the Gu tribe to him became greater, and he remembered that he had Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor.
Hua Tuo poured tea for the two of them. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Gu Rubing actually felt that the tea in his hand also had the taste of some medicinal materials.
"Sir, you have been in Jiaozhou for a long time, and you have also studied a lot about the Gu tribe, right? I wonder if there is a way to crack the Gu tribe?"
Hua Tuo smiled bitterly at Gu Rubing's words.
The Gu tribe has been developing for hundreds of years. How could he 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 the 100,000 troops can move normally in the poison fog within twelve hours, but it will only be twelve hours at most, and it can only be 100,000 troops."
"Okay, I understand. If you need anything, just tell the prime minister and the prime minister will solve it for you."
With Gu Rubing's consent, Hua Tuo nodded.
Compared to the potential troubles on Gu Rubing's side, Huang Zhong is facing a big danger, and it is right in front of him.
After Huang Zhong occupied all the territories of Anxi, he did not take action again, but guarded the border.
Originally, Huang Zhong planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. When Zhuge Liang left, he told Huang Zhong that after occupying Anxi, he would take back the valuable things in Anxi 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 only needed to watch the show in Liangzhou.
But things went wrong a little bit, although the change was not big.
Since the battle, Huang Zhong shot Caesar, and then killed four famous generals from Rome and Parthia. Now his 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 found that there were ten famous generals including the king on the Parthian side, and nearly sixteen famous generals on the Roman side.
Although the strength of these famous generals is quite different from that of the famous generals of the Han Dynasty, they are still famous generals anyway.
At this time, Huang Zhong actually became a little greedy.
Looking at the younger generation around him, all of them have become legendary generals. It would be a lie to say that Huang Zhong is not anxious. He had never had a chance before, but now the opportunity is right in front of him. He must be unwilling to retreat.
"Old General, according to the report from the spies, Parthia and Rome have already ceased fighting. They both seem to be waiting for something, and the special forces of Parthia and Rome have also appeared."
Listening to Taishi Ci's report, Huang Zhong frowned slightly.
Since the special forces of Rome have also appeared, it means that Sun Jian has sent people back. I'm afraid Sun Jian and Cao Cao already know who is behind them. Both sides are obviously planning to form an alliance.
Now they have just occupied all the territory of Parthia and have not had time to improve the territory. If the people of the Great Empire counterattack at this time, they will definitely not be able to defend it.
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 had been driving all the people in Anxi to Liangzhou for so many days.
Then he sent these people from Liangzhou to the eleven states of the Han Dynasty under Gu Rubing's control.
Fortunately, the population of Anxi was not large, otherwise Gu Rubing's territory might not be able to take it.
"Ziyi, you take the army back to Liangzhou, and you must guard it strictly and never let other people's spies out."
Facing so many people, Zhuge Liang also knew that it was easy for the other party's spies to sneak in, so he specifically told Huang Zhong to guard it strictly and wait until all the Anxi people entered Liangzhou, and immediately close all the cities in Liangzhou, only allowing entry but not exit. Those who violated the order would be executed.
Taishi Ci nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly looked at Huang Zhong.
"Old General, do you mean, you won't go with us?"
"I'm almost there. I'll take the White Feather Light Cavalry and charge again. Maybe if I'm lucky, I can kill a famous general and become a legendary general?"
Hearing this, Taishi Ci smiled helplessly.
If this happened ten days ago, it might not be a problem. At that time, they killed Caesar, and many Romans wanted to seek revenge on them, including three famous generals, but they were all solved by Huang Zhong.
After that, Huang Zhong's nickname of the God of Arrows spread throughout the West.
Now, when the famous generals of the two empires saw Huang Zhong, they turned around and ran away, not giving Huang Zhong a chance to take action.
"Old General, you'd better come with me. I'm afraid you don't have a chance here."
Huang Zhong also smiled bitterly when he heard this, but he was really unwilling to do so.
Just as they were discussing whether to stay, a messenger came to Huang Zhong.
"General, there is news from the army ahead that reinforcements from the two empires are coming here. It will take up to three hours to reach our location."
"I didn't expect them to come so quickly? How many famous generals are there? How many troops?"
"Currently, it is observed from the front that there are ten famous generals coming this time, leading an army of 200,000 people. Among them, there seems to be a special unit of Parthian, the Parthian Iron Cavalry, and a group of people dressed in very weird clothes. It should be a special force of Rome."
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 with such a lineup.
In the end, Huang Zhong could only lead his people and completely withdraw from the territory of the Parthian Empire, but left the territory of the Western Regions as a buffer zone for both sides and also a future war zone to prevent the war from burning into Liangzhou itself.
Parthia and Rome were very fast. In just three days, they occupied the entire territory of the Parthia Empire.
But the two parties joined forces this time entirely because of the existence of Huang Zhong, the god of arrows. No one wanted to face Huang Zhong, so they had to come together in the end.
Now that Huang Zhong has left, the two empires have begun to fight among themselves again without the threat from the outside.
Rome took advantage of Parthia's failure to react and seized half of the Parthian Empire's territory, and would not come back no matter what Parthia wanted.
Eventually the two sides started fighting again.
After Cao Cao learned about An'an's situation, he was so angry that he wished he could send troops to destroy An'an now, and maybe upgrade Dian Wei or something.
But Cao Cao also knew that he needed to rest in peace now, even Rome.
Since the last meeting, Gu Rubing has used heavy troops to completely seal off Jiaozhou.
Neither Sun Jian nor Cao Cao could communicate with each other, and Gu Rubing also placed troops and horses on both sides of the defense line, which made Cao Cao even more embarrassed.
Now both Cao Cao and Sun Jian need the power of the West to divide Gu Rubing's forces.
After all, Liangzhou, which the West has come into contact with, is Gu Rubing's rear area. If something happens in the rear area, Gu Rubing cannot stand by and watch.
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's spy who was hiding in Cao Cao's camp. Only Xun Yu knew, and he informed everyone the next day that Cao Cao was ill and all food and drink expenses would be lost. It could only be sent to Cao Cao by Xu Chudianwei and two legendary generals, as well as Wu Pu, who were guarding it day and night in Cao Cao's camp.
Gu Rubing looked at the information in his hand and suddenly became curious.
The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
"What disease does Cao Cao have? Why is he so defensive? Is it a plague?"
Upon hearing about the plague, Zhuge Liang looked at Gu Rubing. If this was really the case, now would be the best time to attack Cao Ying.
However, after learning that there was no sign of plague in Cao's camp, Zhuge Liang finally gave up.
Obviously, Cao Cao is not a plague, otherwise the entire military camp would have been in a similar situation.
But Zhuge Liang didn't care. He wanted Cao Cao to die in the camp. As long as Cao Cao died, Yizhou would be at his fingertips.
Because of Miao Moqing and Meng Huo, Zhuge Liang had no choice but to change his original offensive strategy. It turned out that Zhuge Liang wanted to destroy Sun Jian first and then Cao Cao. But now it seems that it is best for him to destroy Cao Cao first. choice.
A few days later.
Cao Cao and Cao Zhang appeared in the territory of the Parthian Empire.
King Artaban went out in person to greet Cao Cao.
"I have met the great Han Dynasty Prime Minister Cao."
Cao Cao nodded and said nothing.
Artaban frowned slightly when he saw this. As the king, he had already come out to greet him personally. Cao Cao's attitude was such that he looked down on him.
Although he was thinking this, Artaban's face did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he smiled and led his men into the palace with Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was not polite and sat directly on the throne.
When Artaban saw this, his expression suddenly changed.
Everyone knows what the throne represents. If it were anyone else, Artaban would probably order the people on the throne to be hacked to death, but now the person sitting on the throne is Cao Cao, especially Cao Zhang next to him. As a king and a famous general, Artaban was not weak in strength, but when he saw Cao Zhang, he felt palpitations in his heart.
It's a feeling of fear that only comes when you see a strong person. You can only feel this way when facing someone who is much stronger than yourself.
"Prime Minister Cao, I didn't know you were here this time, but what's the matter?"
Artaban 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 always looking at him, and he seemed to die anytime and anywhere. Same.
"Don't call me Prime Minister, I am Yizhou Mu now."
"Okay, Caozhou Mu, do you have any plans for your visit this time?"
"Of course, I have just received information that there are people behind Rome. My request is very simple, that is, Anxi and Rome will cease war and deal with Liangzhou together. After that, you can share the territory of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions equally with Rome. There is territory in Liangzhou.”
"this……"
When Artaban heard Cao Cao's words, he hesitated.
Anxi and Rome have developed a lot of hatred over the years. Now even if Anxi wants to withdraw their troops, I am afraid that Rome will not give up attacking them.
In fact, how this war will end is not in An Xi's hands.
"What's the matter? Do you have any objections? King, please don't forget whose credit it is that your rest can last for such a long time."
"Caozhou Mu, I know it's your fault, but I can't solve what you said. This move against Rome is a unanimous decision of all of us. Even if I agree, others will not agree. Rest in peace. The common people would not agree either.”
Cao Cao could tell that Artaban was just making excuses.
However, Cao Cao was not in a hurry and looked at the other people present.
"Everyone, I have just told you my conditions. Which of you agrees with it and who opposes it?"
"I object."
Just as Cao Cao's voice fell, Surena came out from behind.
Cao Cao had a headache when he saw Surena.
This Surena has a particularly good voice within Parthia. His position among the Parthian people is just like that of Zhuge Liang. Moreover, several of Parthia's famous battles were also directed by Surena. Otherwise, those few times would have been very difficult. It is possible that Anxi was destroyed by Rome, so how could he come over on his own?
"Surena, tell me your reasons."
Cao Cao sighed helplessly.
"Caozhou Mu, I feel that you have selfish motives for asking us to do this. You just want us to help you pull Gu Rubing and use him to divide your troops. So what we got is too little, what are the three Western Regions?" I don’t think the territories of the Sixteen Kingdoms, or the Liangzhou of the Han Dynasty, our combat effectiveness is so high, and Huang Zhong is stationed there, so what if we take action? "
Surena's analysis was clear and logical, and even the hesitant look in Aldaban's eyes became firm in an instant. It was obvious that no matter what, the chance of cooperation with Rome was definitely gone.
In desperation, Cao Cao could only choose the disgust he least wanted.
"Zhang'er, I'll leave the rest to you. Remember, you can only kill the king, and none of the remaining people can die. We still have to keep them to help us control the Parthian Empire!" (End of Chapter)
