The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 291 Alliance

"Cao, you, thief, are so arrogant that you want to take over the world. I, Sun Quan of Jiangdong, swear to fight you to the death! The Red Cliff is our home turf, and I will challenge you here. If you have the guts, come!"

Cao Cao looked at the declaration of war sent by the envoy from Jiangdong, his brows tightly furrowed, almost staring at the paper in front of him.

"Brothers, what do you think about this matter?"

Cao Cao handed the declaration of war to the Five Tiger Generals and asked them to circulate it.

"Humph, these people from Jiangdong suddenly challenged me to a fight. They must be plotting something. If I were you, I wouldn't go!"

Zhang Fei angrily passed the letter of challenge in his hand to Ma Chao beside him, his words full of disdain.

"I also think Fei is right. The other party suddenly challenged me to a fight and even selected a location for the final battle. There must be something strange going on!"

Ma Chao took a look at the declaration of war, and his intuition told him that this matter was not that simple!

"I also know they're likely to use some underhanded tactics, but they've already released the declaration of war to the entire world at the same time they gave it to us. Everyone in the Han Dynasty knows we're about to engage in a decisive battle with Jiangdong. If we don't go out of fear, then we'll be fulfilling the words in the declaration of war: 'They're hoarding troops and attempting to annex the world.' We'll then lose credibility with the people of the world and completely lose their support!"

Cao Cao said earnestly that this was also what he was struggling with. If he accepted the challenge, he would most likely fall into the opponent's trap. If he did not accept the challenge, he would be pointed at by everyone.

"This must be the idea that Zhou Yu from Jiangdong came up with!"

Huang Zhong said angrily, then looked at Zhuge Liang with surprise.

"By the way, we have Mr. Zhuge, who is even more powerful than Zhou Yu. He might have a solution!"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"

"Mr. Zhuge is the world's best military advisor, praised by Lian Xiu... and Liu Bei. He must have a way to defeat Zhou Yu's plan!"

Everyone focused their eyes on Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang felt the burning gazes of the crowd and kept fanning himself with the fan in his hand.

"Mr. Zhuge, please come up with a way to break this situation!"

Cao Cao bowed to Zhuge Liang and said, the other five generals also bent down and asked Zhuge Liang to break the deadlock.

"Hey, you guys... you're the Five Tiger Generals. Defeating Zhou Yu and the others is like blowing the wind! And my (brother)... is in Jiangdong. I even borrowed (money) from him..."

"Wind? Borrow?"

Cao Cao repeated doubtfully, then his eyes lit up, he hugged Zhuge Liang excitedly, and then spoke excitedly to his brothers.

"Brothers, Mr. Zhuge is truly a god. He can actually borrow the east wind to aid us in the battle. This way, not only will our marching speed be much faster, but the attacks of the Jiangdong group will also be weakened by the wind. Moreover, with the east wind, we can reach the shore faster and take advantage of our land warfare. We are sure to win this battle!"

"Great!"

"Long live Mr. Zhuge!"

"I said Mr. Zhuge must be more powerful than Zhou Yu!"

"Zhou Yu is only capable of scheming and plotting, but Mr. Zhuge has the help of Heaven. We will definitely win this battle!"

……

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Zhuge Liang smiled awkwardly, muttering in his heart: I just saw that you guys are very strong in martial arts training. The name Zhou Yu sounds very weak. You five can definitely beat him against one, right?

Zhuge Liang then cried out inwardly: "Oh my God, how can I possibly borrow the east wind? I can't even pay back the money I owe my brother Zhuge Jin, how could God possibly lend me the wind?"

……

"Report——"

"Come in!"

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were handling government affairs when a messenger ran in from outside.

"Reporting to the Acting Principal, Cao Cao has agreed to our invitation to fight and is now transferring his troops towards Chibi!"

"it is good!"

Sun Quan smiled confidently, and then immediately ordered Zhou Yu to set up an ambush on the cliffs of Chibi.

"Remember, don't use the wave-wave gun. The light from the wave-wave gun firing at night will reveal our position. Let's use the crossbow instead!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Yu accepted the order and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Sun Quan.

"Hey, you forgot to take the military token!"

Sun Quan opened the drawer and threw the military token to Zhou Yu with a smile.

"Without the military token, how can you mobilize the Jiangdong Army?"

Zhou Yu's face turned ugly for a moment, but he quickly forced a smile.

"The deputy chief is right. Gongjin will definitely pay attention to this next time!"

"Go ahead, and fight this battle beautifully!"

Sun Quan waved to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu took the military token, bowed to Sun Quan, and then left quickly.

"Cao Cao, this time, I, Jiangdong, have sent out a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, large and small, waiting for you to die!"

Sun Quan looked at the direction Zhou Yu left. At this time, he was grateful to his father and elder brother. Jiangdong University had 30,000 soldiers. If all the students were sent to the battlefield, plus his father's 30,000 elite soldiers raised privately, Sun Ce's 10,000 Overlord Army, his own 10,000 Xiaolong Army, and the guards he gathered from various Jiangdong families, the total number of people was 100,000.

No hero in the world could underestimate such a force.

"Cao Cao, Cao Cao, I want to see how you will respond when the time comes!"

……

"Xiu, you're back!"

Fang Mu looked at "Xiu" who appeared beside him, then frowned.

"No, your ability index is so low, you are...Liu Bei?!"

"It seems there are still people who know what they are talking about!"

Liu Bei showed a proud expression, and at this moment, a person who looked exactly like him walked out from not far away.

"build!"

Fang Mu was overjoyed when he felt Xiu's fighting power index, but when he saw how close Xiu and Liu Bei were, he asked with some surprise.

"Why did you two return to the Silver Time? When clones meet, won't the weaker one have his powers sucked away by the stronger one? Why does Liu Bei look like he's fine?"

"Because of this!"

Xiu and Liu Bei raised their wrists, revealing two identical mechanical bracelets.

"Ultimate Encyclopedia: Umobis NO Suction Ring: Created by the Iron Spacetime Weaponry Management Bureau, it blocks the mutual transmission of energy between the wearer and the wearer. (Original setting by the author)"

"It's because of this bracelet that Liu Bei and I can maintain our current peaceful coexistence!"

I have to say that even though Xiu and Liu Bei share the same face, Xiu always looks so decent, while Liu Bei has the feeling of a villain and ruffian.

"Xiu and the leader of the Iron Time and Space have already told me, so before the final battle, I am willing to form an alliance with you. After all, the Silver Time and Space is also my home, and I don't want anyone other than the surname Liu to rule the Han Dynasty!"
