Chapter 592: The Anluo Empire's Request

Just after taking a few steps, I saw Zhuge Liang walking over.

"My lord, I just met with the person named Surena. He made several requests and wanted us to agree to them."

"Tell me about it."

Gu Rubing sat directly on the stone bench in the yard.

This is Gu Rubing's territory, and the courtyard is full of guards and captains of crossbows to protect their safety. Naturally, there is no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping.

"My lord, Liu Zhang has several conditions. The first is that they want to be crowned king, and they can return the territory of Liangzhou and the thirty-six kingdoms."

Gu Rubing thought about it for a moment, but did not speak, but looked at Zhuge Liang.

"Lord, I feel that we can agree to this matter. This matter of being crowned king is not a bad thing for us. On the one hand, it can prove that the so-called Anluo Empire is the territory of the Han Dynasty. On the other hand, it can Tell Sun Jian and Cao Cao that Liu Zhang Shixie has become independent and even has a higher status than them, and they may take action against the Anluo Empire, and we can also benefit. "

However, having said that, according to Zhu Rubing's understanding of Cao Cao and Sun Jian, I am afraid that these two people will not really break with the Anluo Empire, and will definitely find ways to win over them.

Zhuge Liang saw Gu Rubing's thoughts and laughed directly.

"Lord, don't worry. Even if they don't fight like we thought, it will be okay for them to be disgusted."

Gu Rubing smiled and nodded.

"The second condition is that they must form an alliance with us. As long as there is a war, we need to provide them with support."

"Don't they claim to have more than twenty famous generals? Do they still need our support?"

"Lord, if Liang's guess is correct, the support they want is not for generals or soldiers, but for legendary generals."

Gu Rubing nodded.

No matter there are twenty famous generals or two hundred famous generals, they can't compare to one legendary general.

"Do you have any other requests?"

"No, Liang feels that we can accept both of these requirements, and with the West providing us with a steady stream of medicinal support, we don't have to worry about the Gu clan led by Sun Jian."

"Tell the envoy that we accept it. As for the name, Liu Zhang will be the foreign king from now on, and his territory will be the entire Anluo Empire. If something unexpected happens, his descendants will share the name of the foreign king."

"Shared? Isn't this hereditary? Only Liu Zhang? Then my lord, Shi Xie..."

Before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Gu Rubing smiled slightly and was not explaining anything.

After taking care of some chores, Gu Rubing took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao to the place agreed with Sun Jian.

Sun Jian stood up immediately after seeing Gu Rubing.

"Prince Lie, my daughter is really troublesome to you here."

In response to Sun Jian's words, Gu Rubing pretended to be distressed and rubbed his head, sitting on the chair with his eyes closed.

"Isn't that right? This makes me very tired. Every night is the most torturous. I really admire your girl's fighting ability!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Sun Jian and others changed, especially Sun Ce, who wanted to rush forward.

If Meng Huo hadn't been holding him back, he might have killed Gu Rubing.

Sun Jian looked at Gu Rubing for a long time, and a murderous aura surrounded everyone.

This made Guan Yu and others behind Gu Rubing have to be vigilant.

After a long time, Sun Jian finally laughed.

"Haha, King Lie is really good at joking. As a King Lie, how could he possibly do anything to the little girl?"

Sun Jian's words were not only meant for Gu Rubing, but also for Sun Ce to calm down.

Gu Rubing shrugged and didn't say anything.

At this time, Zhuge Liang came over in a hurry.

"Lord, the West has..."

When Zhuge Liang saw Sun Jian and others, he immediately shut his mouth and walked to Gu Rubing's side.

In Gu Rubing's ear, he whispered.

"My lord, Surena has gone back. He said that the Anluo Empire will always be our friend!"

Gu Rubing looked at Zhuge Liang doubtfully.

The hearing of legendary generals has long surpassed that of ordinary people. The way they speak is almost the same as speaking in front of everyone. Zhuge Liang is also aware of this.

But when Gu Rubing saw Sun Jian's face, Gu Rubing understood instantly.

"Okay, I understand, go down."

Zhuge Liang nodded, turned and left with a smile.

"Sun Zhoumu, why are you meeting me this time?"

"King Lie, I hope that both of us can cease fighting. In addition, I heard that Cao Cao's Bajun has been relatively lax in defense recently. If King Lie wants to train his troops, he can go to Bajun to have a look. What if there is something to gain?"

"Sun Zhoumu's tricks are really good!"

"Each other!"

After Gu Rubing talked with Sun Jian for a while, Sun Jian took the people away.

Zhuge Liang walked in.

"Lord!"

"The prime minister used a good trick to let Sun Jian know about An Luo in advance, so he will naturally focus on An Luo's side. Moreover, this was overheard by Sun Jian and has nothing to do with us."

Zhuge Liang used small tricks to begin with, so he naturally ignored Gu Rubing's praise.

"Lord, what did Sun Jian say?"

"This guy actually wants us to attack Cao Cao's Bajun. He obviously wants us to change our target. However, regarding Sun Shangxiang, he did not ask us to send Sun Shangxiang back."

"It seems that Sun Jian thinks that we don't know about their marriage and wants to use us as a shield. If this is the case, then we will have to charge some hard work."

Sun Jian still didn't know that he was being plotted by two of the world's biggest profiteers.

"Cer, is what you heard true?"

When Zhuge Liang and Gu Rubing whispered about An Luo, Sun Ce told Sun Jian exactly what they said.

"Father, I can guarantee that what I said is exactly what I heard, word for word."

"I didn't expect that guy Shi Xie to actually betray me. He's really looking for death!"

After the group returned to the camp, Sun Jian found Zhou Yu.

And told Zhou Yu the news he heard.

When he learned that Sun Jian was going to attack An Luo, Zhou Yu immediately stopped him.

"My lord, now is not the time to take action. Shi Xie is not the only one sent there, but also Liu Zhang who has joined forces with Cao Cao. We all know Shi Xie's character and will never take the initiative to rebel. I feel that this matter It has nothing to do with Liu Zhang, and it may even be led by Liu Zhang, so we should contact Cao Cao and let him solve it himself and clean up the family. "

Sun Jian considered Zhou Yu's suggestion and felt that it was reasonable. He wrote a letter of divorce and sent it to Cao Cao's Yizhou.

"Gong Jin, what will we do next? Now that we know, we can't just pretend we don't know, right?"

"The answer is very simple. We can win over Shi Xie. The most important thing we have now is to marry Cao Cao. As for the rest, we can ignore it."

"good!"

Yizhou Chengdu!

After Cao Cao saw Sun Jian's handwriting, he smashed the teacup on the table.

"Liu Zhang, how dare you betray me?"

Xun Yu on the side saw this situation and knew what happened without even thinking.

Seeing Cao Cao's furious look, Xun Yu immediately stepped forward.

"Lord, we can't take action against Liu Zhang yet. We should even win over Liu Zhang. As long as Liu Zhang is still willing to ally with us, then his strength will increase, which is not a bad thing for us."

It took a long time for Cao Cao to gradually suppress the anger in his heart.

He could also calm down and consider what Xun Yu said.

"Okay, let's leave it to Wen Ruo."

This book was recently updated in ##六x-on:x-on:九x-on:x-on:书x-on:x-on:!! Updated!

Xun Yu nodded and left.

Looking at Xun Yu's back, Cao Cao had already made up his mind to marry Sun Jian. Then he would have extra strength to solve the Anluo Empire's affairs.

When I think about it, if I send Dian Wei over and more than twenty famous generals are killed by Dian Wei, I don't know what level of legendary general Dian Wei will become. He will definitely be the strongest legendary general by then.

Not only Cao Cao had such thoughts, Sun Jian and Gu Rubing also had such thoughts in their hearts at this time.

The Anluo Empire is now an ally that various families are competing for, because of the tense situation among the three families. Once all three have ceased war, the Anluo Empire will be a huge pool of experience. Under this huge temptation, no one can control it.

In order to reassure Sun Jian, Gu Rubing followed Sun Jian's suggestion and asked Pang De to lead 50,000 Taishan Tiger Bandits into Nanjun to confront Bajun in Yizhou.

Cao Cao was also shocked by Gu Rubing's behavior and asked the Xiahou brothers to return to Ba County to garrison.

Just when the two sides seemed to be at war with each other, a marriage was quietly going on.

According to Sun Jian's request, Cao Cao needs to pay a certain amount first to ensure that the marriage can proceed.

In order to show his determination to marry Sun Jian, Cao Cao directly gave Sun Jian what he had promised, which was what Sun Jian lacked the most, enough for a hundred thousand troops and half a year's food and grass as the agreed deposit.

It's just that such a huge amount of food and grass cannot be supplied at once. Cao Cao can only transport batches from Chengdu to Yangzhou.

It's just that Cao Cao is only responsible for the handover in Jiaozhou. Cao Cao doesn't care about what happens after Jiaozhou.

With the successful delivery of the third batch of 100,000 stones of grain and grass, both Cao Cao and Sun Jian gradually relaxed their vigilance.

Forest trails in Xiangke County.

A captain, leading a grain transport team, walked towards Jiaozhou.

Along the way, the captain was very relaxed. The previous batches were very safe, which meant that he would also be very safe.

In contrast, the centurion on the side was a little nervous.

He always felt that there was something unusual around the team, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.

Seeing his men so nervous, the captain smiled and comforted them.

"Don't be so nervous. This is the rear area. We will arrive in Jiaozhou early tomorrow morning. Once we reach Jiaozhou, our mission will be considered completed."

As he spoke, the captain took out the wine gourd on the side and started drinking.

Drinking during this march is a taboo, but in their team, the captain is the highest responsible person, so naturally no one will say anything.

Just as the captain was drinking, an arrow suddenly flew out from the side and hit the wine gourd directly.

Seeing this scene, the captain quickly drew out his knife and looked around cautiously. At the same time, cold sweat was pouring from his head. If he hadn't been drinking just now, the arrow would have hit his head.

However, just as he was observing his surroundings, another arrow flew out and hit his head directly.

As the centurion fell off his horse, the entire grain transport team was in chaos.

Countless arrows rained down, and the grain transport team was immediately killed and wounded.

As the arrow rain stopped, countless cavalry rushed out from the woods, quickly surrounded them, and rushed into the grain transport team's formation without saying anything.

In just a stick of incense, the nearly 1,000 grain transport team defenders were completely eliminated.

"General, it's all solved."

After the voice fell, Zhang Liao slowly walked out of the woods.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhang Liao waved his hand directly.

All the cavalry began to carry food and grass into the deep mountains, and also cleaned up the scene quickly, without any signs of fighting.

Two days later, Sun Jian stood in the camp, looking in the direction of Yizhou, with some doubts in his heart.

"My lord, are you also worried about food and grass?"

Zhou Yu also came to Sun Jian at this time.

"Yes, according to the agreement, the grain and grass should have arrived a day ago. Why is there no news until now? Did something go wrong?"

"It shouldn't be. If something really went wrong, someone should have reported it. Let's wait, shall we? I have asked someone to urge Cao Zhang."

After Cao Zhang learned that the grain transport team had not arrived, after all, the grain and grass were related to his marriage, so it was naturally difficult to shirk responsibility. He personally followed the route of the grain transport team to find it, but there was no trace along the way. In desperation, he could only rush to Yizhou and contact Cao Cao.

"What? The grain transport team disappeared?"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Zhang who came back and his eyes widened. ,

The first thing he thought of was that Sun Jian had hidden the grain and grass.

But the distance between the two military camps was quite close, and 100,000 stones of grain and grass was not a small amount. How could it be disguised so secretly?

"Father, could it be that the grain transport team ran away with the grain because they were afraid of taking responsibility for some things that delayed the time?"

What Cao Zhang said was not impossible, but the probability was too small.

In desperation, Cao Cao could only send people to continue transporting grain and grass.

However, this time, Cao Cao specially sent Le Jin, a quasi-famous general, to personally escort the grain and grass.

The grain and grass team walked for several days without any problems, which made Le Jin a little suspicious, whether it was really as Cao Zhang guessed.

Just as Le Jin was thinking, an arrow shot over.

Le Jin drew his sword and shot the arrow away.

"Who is it?"

As the voice fell, Zhang Liao came out with five hundred iron pagodas.

Originally, Zhang Liao still wanted to continue the sneak attack with the last method, but when he saw Le Jin, Zhang Liao knew that this time it would not be so smooth.

After seeing Zhang Liao appear, Le Jin also instantly understood that all this was done by Gu Rubing.

"It turned out to be King Lie, otherwise I really thought there was a ghost."

Le Jin sneered, took out his knife and looked at Zhang Liao vigilantly.
