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

At the banquet, everyone was changing glasses, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

After the party was over, Gu Rubing immediately wrote a letter and sent an envoy to Cao Cao's camp.

Not long after, the envoy rushed back and brought back the news that Cao Cao refused to reconcile.

"Cao Cao refused?"

Upon hearing the news, Gu Rubing frowned slightly and asked.

"Back to my lord, yes."

The messenger nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Cao Cao said that the revenge for killing his father was irreconcilable and he refused to stop."

Hearing what the messenger said, Gu Rubing's brows furrowed even deeper, feeling a little surprised.

According to the original plot of the Three Kingdoms, it was around this time that Lu Bu used Chen Gong's plan to attack Yanzhou. Almost half of Yanzhou was captured by Lu Bu.

Because of the loss in Yanzhou, Cao Cao put aside his "mere revenge for killing his father" and immediately led his troops back to support, giving up the siege of Xuzhou.

However, it is obvious that the historical plot has now changed.

Now Chen Gong is loyal to Cao Cao. Without Chen Gong and Lu Bu's surprise attack on Yanzhou, and without Yanzhou's worries, Cao Cao would naturally not want to retreat so easily.

However, Gu Rubing didn't feel too troubled by this.

Cao Cao was unwilling to stop his troops like in the original history, but he was not the Liu Bei in the original history.

Now, I can be said to have an elite army. Coupled with Xuzhou Tao Qian's troops, it will definitely not be a problem to defend Xuzhou.

He doesn't even need to take the initiative. As long as he and Cao Cao continue to fight, Cao Cao, who cannot attack for a long time, will definitely retreat due to lack of food.

After all, the food and grass in Yanzhou is not sufficient, and it is definitely difficult to sustain a protracted war.

Gu Rubing pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I understand, you can go down."

"yes."

The messenger nodded, then turned and left.

After the envoy left, Gu Rubing thought for a while, took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, left the camp, and quickly arrived at Tao Qian's house.

"Mr. Xuande!"

Seeing Gu Rubing arriving, Tao Qian's eyes lit up, he immediately stood up, raised his hands and said, "How about it? Cao Cao is willing to withdraw his troops?"

"Mr. Tao, Cao Cao is unwilling to retreat."

Gu Rubing shook his head and said with some regret.

Hearing Gu Rubing's words, a trace of mourning appeared on Tao Qian's face for a moment, and he said in a dazed voice: "I am really guilty. I am guilty of God, and I have caused the people of Xuzhou to suffer this disaster!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Tao."

Gu Rubing immediately handed over his hand and said comfortingly: "I am willing to help Xuzhou and repel Cao Cao!"

"Gong Xuande is indeed a benevolent and righteous king!"

Hearing what Gu Rubing said, Tao Qian's face suddenly showed a hint of joy: "With Mr. Xuande here, I, Xuzhou, have no worries!"

After Tao Qian thought for a moment, he spoke again: "There is a small town near here called Xiaopei, which is enough to garrison troops. Duke Xuande can garrison troops in Xiaopei, forming a horn with Xuzhou."

Hearing the words Xiaopei, Gu Rubing couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In history, Liu Bei was arranged by Tao Qian to garrison troops in Xiaopei to resist Cao Cao. Later, Liu Bei took charge of Xuzhou and arranged for Lu Bu to garrison troops in Xiaopei.

Later, Lu Bu took advantage of Liu Bei's troops to attack Yuan Shu and launched a sneak attack on Xuzhou. In a complete reversal with Liu Bei, Liu Bei was driven to Xiaopei again.

Xiaopei can be said to be the place where dreams begin.

But Gu Rubing quickly regained his composure, nodded, cupped his hands and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

Seeing Gu Rubing agree, Tao Qian stood up tremblingly, raised his hands to Gu Rubing and said, "I don't know how to repay Mr. Xuande for such a great kindness!"

"We are preparing to assist Xuzhou, just for the sake of righteousness."

Gu Rubing shook his head, then paused and said, "However, speaking of it, Bei does have a merciless request, and I hope Mr. Tao will grant it."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Tao Qian was not surprised but overjoyed, and immediately asked: "What's the matter with Mr. Xuande? You can speak frankly."

"Bei has heard about Zhang Zibu in Xuzhou for a long time. I heard that Zhang Zibu was rude to Tao Gong and was imprisoned. I want to ask Tao Gong to open his eyes and release Zhang Zibu." Gu Rubing's eyes flickered, He spoke.

Yes.

Zhang Zhao!

In addition to the main mission, the reason why we came to rescue Xuzhou was because of Zhang Zhao, who was currently being imprisoned by Tao Qian.

Who is Zhang Zhao?

He was the future minister of Soochow. He first helped Sun Ce to conquer Jiangdong. Sun Ce even compared Zhang Zhao to his Guan Zhong. Before he died, Sun Ce left Sun Quan "If you don't decide on foreign affairs, ask Zhou Yu, but on internal affairs." "I will definitely ask Zhang Zhao"!

Just this sentence is enough to show Zhang Zhao's gold content.

In terms of internal affairs, Zhang Zhao is definitely at the T0 level, and he should also have the characteristics of a scholar!

If Zhou Yu is Jiang Dong's brain, Zhang Zhao is Jiang Dong's legs!

This is indeed the case. After Sun Ce's death, the situation in Soochow was critical, and Zhang Zhao helped Sun Quan regain power and maintained the Sun family's rule in Jiangdong.

Although later in history, Cao Cao commanded 800,000 naval troops and invited Sun Quan to hunt for Wu. Zhang Zhao led a group of Soochow civil servants and advocated surrender to Cao Wei. In his previous life, he was jokingly called the eldest brother by netizens.

However, at that time, Cao Cao had just captured Jingzhou and had millions of people at home. Who would have thought that Cao Cao would be defeated by the Sun and Liu families in Chibi?

Therefore, it was completely reasonable for Zhang Zhao to advocate surrender to Cao Cao at that time. It did not mean that Zhang Zhao had no ability.

"Zhang Zhao?"

Hearing this, Tao Qian was a little surprised and said with a smile: "I thought it was something. Since Mr. Xuande is interceding for Zhang Zhao, I will be lenient."

After finishing speaking, Tao Qian turned to the guard beside him and said, "Here comes someone."

"exist!"

The personal guards immediately stepped forward and stood ready.

"Go and release Zhang Zhao." Tao Qian ordered.

"yes."

The guard nodded.

"Thank you Tao Gong."

Seeing this scene, Gu Rubing was overjoyed and immediately raised his hands and said, "In that case, be prepared to say goodbye first."

As long as Zhang Zhao is saved and this level of friendship is there, after defeating Cao Cao, it should be easy to conquer Zhang Zhao!

…………

In the next few days, Gu Rubing led a large army and stationed in Xiaopei. They became at odds with Xuzhou and began to confront Cao Cao's army in Xiaopei.

Cao Cao sent general Cao Ren and led his elite troops to try to attack Xiaopei several times. However, faced with Gu Rubing's defensive strategy, Cao Ren was defeated and could only retreat to Feng County, where he and Gu Rubing were in a stalemate.

Just when Gu Rubing thought that if this wasted on, Cao Cao would retreat soon, an urgent message suddenly came from Qingzhou.

Gu Rubing was in the military tent.

"Report!"

The messenger's face was full of anxiety, and he hurried to the camp, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said: "Lord, it's bad, something has changed in Qingzhou!"

"What? Something has changed in Qingzhou?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the camp changed drastically in an instant.

Qingzhou is their foundation and base camp. Xuzhou will be conquered if it is conquered, but Qingzhou must not make any mistakes.

"What happened to Qingzhou? Has Qingzhou been lost?"

Zhang Fei stared with a pair of ring eyes, his body was filled with murderous intent, and he asked angrily.

"Return to General Zhang."

The messenger immediately handed over his hands and said: "Kong Rong of Beihai suddenly united with the noble clans of Beihai to rebel and attacked Qi's rear. At the same time, Yuan Shao of Hebei sent troops to attack Bohai!"

"Although General Xu has defended the state of Qi, he has no time to support Bohai. I am afraid that Bohai will be defeated soon. General Xu is worried that after Yuan Shao breaks through Bohai, he will join forces with Kong Rong to attack Qingzhou. Please return your troops to support as soon as possible, my lord!"

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai's face changed slightly, and he understood instantly, and immediately said: "Kong Rong must have colluded with Yuan Shao!"

"Kong Rong is so brave!"

Zhang Feiyan's beard was raised upside down, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said: "Beihai was in trouble before, and my eldest brother saved Beihai. He didn't want to repay his kindness, but he actually dared to cooperate inside and outside, and repay kindness with hatred!"

Tai Shici beside Zhang Fei was a little disbelieving. He looked at the messenger and asked, "Are you sure it was Prime Minister Kong who rebelled?"

"I'm sure, I don't dare to joke about this matter!"

Hearing that Tai Shici didn't believe it, the messenger immediately raised his hands and said.

Taishi Ci's face turned extremely ugly for a moment, and he said angrily: "I thought Kong Rong was a gentleman, and he even saved Beihai without fear of danger before! Although I didn't read much, I knew the word loyalty well. As a descendant of Confucius, Kong Rong did not expect that he would do such a terrible thing, he was really blind!"

"My lord, Kong Rong must have colluded with Yuan Shao, otherwise Kong Rong would never dare to rebel."

Xi Zhicai also had a solemn look on his face, and he cupped his hands to Gu Rubing and said: "Once Yuan Shao attacks Qingzhou, Qingzhou will be in danger. Once Qingzhou is conquered, we will have no home. Now we can only return to the army to help!"

"What the military advisor said is absolutely true."

Guan Yu caressed his long beard gently, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and said: "Guan must kill such a treacherous villain like Kong Rong with his own hands!"

After hearing what everyone said, Gu Rubing's face was extremely ugly.

He never expected that Cao Cao didn't have a fire in his backyard, but he actually had a fire in his backyard!

Fortunately, he only wanted to repel Cao Cao and did not leave Qingzhou with many troops. There were still many troops in Qingzhou.

Moreover, there are still Xu Rong, Chen Dao, Han Hao, Tian Yu, Qianzhao Five Generals, Guan Ning, Hua Xin and other civil servants left behind in Qingzhou, otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous!

Qingzhou is his basic base. No matter what, Qingzhou must not lose anything!

"But once our army retreats, Xuzhou..."

Gu Rubing frowned and felt a little headache.

Now Cao Cao is still eyeing Xuzhou. He is resisting Cao Ren here, and Tao Qian is also resisting Xiahou Yuan. If he withdraws from Xiaopei, Tao Qian may not be able to stop Cao Cao's attack!

"Brother, I can lead three thousand troops and stay in Xiaopei."

At this moment, Guan Yu saw Gu Rubing's worry, narrowed his phoenix eyes, and immediately took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "With these three thousand troops and horses, plus the original garrison of Xiaopei, Cao's troops will be one million." The great army will never even think of setting foot in Xiaopei!"
