The thirteenth time, Yang Biao used double agents to turn against Li Jue and Guo Si, only to find that they revolted in Chang 'an, and Yang Biao was ashamed. Li Jue's Ministry of Yang Feng was dissatisfied with Li Jue's tyranny and attacked Li Jue, but the opportunity was exposed and Yang Feng failed.

Back in the 19th, Cao Cao asked Chen Deng to be the inside man, which led to Lu Bu losing ground and taking refuge in Xiapi City. Cao Cao's plan for Xun and Guo Jia flooded Pi, and there was no food in the city. Lu Bu rebelled against Song Xian, Xu Wei and Hou Cheng and surrendered to the city. Lu Bu was captured by three people, and Cao Cao ordered Lu Bu to be executed.

Back to the twentieth time, Cao Cao took Liu Bei back to Xudu, and Xian Di recognized Liu Bei as his uncle. Cao Cao hunted in Xu Tianhe and Xian Di to observe the actions of courtiers. Xian Di was uneasy about Cao Cao's autocratic power, so he wrote the letter in blood on a jade belt and gave it to his uncle Dong Cheng.

Liu Bei fell to the ground with bamboo chopsticks in his hand. In order to get rid of Cao Cao's control, Liu Bei volunteered to attack Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu died in Huainan. Che Zhou, the secretariat of Xuzhou, tried to harm Liu Bei, but Chen Deng caught him.

After Liu Bei recaptured Xuzhou on the 22nd, he worried about Cao Cao's attack and wrote to Yuan Shao for help. Yuan Shao ordered Chen Lin to write a campaign against Cao Cao. Cao Cao sent Liu Dai and Zhong Wang to attack Xuzhou, but they were captured by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu respectively.

Cao Cao asked Mi Heng to surrender to Liu Biao, but Mi Heng was killed by Huang Zu. Dong Cheng confided to Ji Ping, a doctor too much.

The two brothers finally met.

Sun Ce was attacked by Xu Gong's family for the 29th time and was seriously injured. Yu Ji, a Taoist priest in Langya Palace, sprinkled water for people. Sun Ce thought Yu Ji's bad words were misleading people, so he was beheaded. Sun Ce was so angry that his wound burst and he died. Sun Ce's younger brother, Sun Quan, inherited his father's inheritance and recruited talents in Jiangdong.

Back to the thirtieth time, Yuan Shao set out to attack Cao Cao with 700,000 troops. Cao Cao's army had no food, so he gave Yuan a plan to occupy Xudu. However, Yuan's sons and nephews were all criminals and refused to adopt them. In a rage, Xu You went to see Cao Cao and persuaded him to attack the Wu Dynasty, where Yuan's grain and grass were hoarded.

After Yuan Shao's provisions were burned back to the 31st time, his military strength quickly disintegrated. Cao Cao's last battle in Cangting was defeated by Yuan Jun. Yuan Shao fled back to Yecheng. Liu Bei teamed up with Liu Pi and Gong Dou in Runan to attack Cao Cao, but Cao Cao cheated Runan and Liu Bei failed.

The thirty-fourth time Liu Bei attacked Zhang Wu and Chen Sun in Jiangxia and captured Luma. Cai Taizu set up a frame for Liu Bei many times, but all failed. Liu Biao gave a banquet in Xiangyang and invited Liu Bei to host it. Cai Mao wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Liu Bei, but Yi Ji saw through the plan. Liu Bei escaped from the West Gate and Ma Lu jumped over Tanxi.

After Liu Bei escaped from the banquet, he went to the thatched cottage in Si Mahui. Si Mahui introduced Long Fu and Feng Chu to Liu Bei. When Liu Bei returned to Xinye, a man who claimed to be Fu Shan came to defect, advised Liu Bei and defeated Coss' army.

Thirty-six times, Khan offered Liu Bei a plan and captured Fancheng, but Coss and Li Dian failed. Cheng Yu told Cao Cao that Fu Shan was just a pen name, and his real name was Xu Shu. Cao Cao took Xu Shu's mother's letter as a cover to make Xu Shu a capital. Before he left, Xu Shu advised Liu Bei to go to Longzhong to find Mr. Wolong Zhuge Liang.

Si Mahui visited Liu Bei on his 37th trip and described Zhuge Liang's talents to Liu Bei. Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Longzhong, which coincided with Zhuge Liang's trip and had to return to Xinye. A few days later, Liu Bei came to Longzhong again and met Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jun. Zhuge Jun told Liu Bei that Zhuge Liang had disappeared.

The thirty-eighth time Liu Bei came to Longzhong Caotang for the third time and finally met Zhuge Liang, who explained to Liu Bei the situation of "three points in the world". Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain and worshipped Zhuge Liang as his strategist. In order to avenge his father, Sun Quan led his troops to attack Huang Zu with Gan Ning as the pioneer.

Back to the 39th time, Liu Qi, the son of Liu Biao, asked Zhuge Liang about his escape plan because of the persecution of his stepmother, Chua. Under Liu Qi's repeated questioning, Zhuge Liang finally told Liu Qi how to get out. Cao Cao sent Xia Houdun to attack Xinye, and Zhuge Liang set fire to Cao Jun in Bowangpo, winning a great victory.

The 40th time Liu Biao died of illness, Cai Taizu made his youngest son Liu Cong the Lord of Jingzhou. Kuai Yue and others advised bretz to surrender to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao got Jingzhou. According to Zhuge Liang's plan, Liu Bei abandoned the city, burned a new field and repelled Cao Ren's army.

Liu Bei led the crowd to Jiangling and attacked Cao Cao at night in Changbanpo. Liu Bei left the Ministry and his family. In order to save Liu Bei's family, Zhao Yun laid down his life in Changbanpo, killing more than 50 famous Cao Ying soldiers.

The 42nd time, Zhang Fei shouted loudly on the Changban Bridge, scaring Cao Cao's million-strong army back again and again. Afterwards, Cao Cao led the troops to pursue Liu Bei's defeated army, and Jiangxia soldiers led by Guan Yu of Lu Yu repelled Cao Jun. Liu Bei led down archers to Jiangxia, and Zhuge Liang volunteered to go to Soochow to unite with Sun Quan to fight Cao.

The 43rd time, Zhuge Liang followed Lu Su to Jiangdong, where he met all the counselors. Zhuge Liang argued with them and left them speechless. Zhuge Liang dared Sun Quan to strengthen his determination to resist Cao, but Sun Quan finally hesitated and had to take Zhou Yu back from Chai Sang to discuss countermeasures.

In the forty-fourth chapter, Zhuge Liang skillfully changed the meaning of the word "Er Qiao" in "Ode to Tongquetai", which made Zhou Yu decide to face Cao Cao directly. Zhou Yu told Sun that he was interested, which made Sun Quan decide to break Cao. Zhou Yu believed that Zhuge Liang's talent posed a threat to Wu Dong and sent Zhu Gejin to persuade Zhuge Liang to surrender, but failed.

On the 45th night, Zhou Yu went to Cao Cao's water village and decided to get rid of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, commanders of Cao Cao's water army. Cao Caopa Jiang Gan said that Zhou Yu had fallen, and Zhou Yu invited Jiang Gan to bed, deliberately showing Jiang Gan forged letters from Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and Wu Dong. Jiang Gan returned to Jiangbei and dedicated this letter to Cao Cao, who ordered Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to be beheaded.

The 46th time, Zhou Yu wanted to harm Zhuge Liang, and deliberately asked Zhuge Liang to build 100,000 arrows in three days. Zhuge Liang decided that there would be heavy fog in three days, so he took Lu Su to Cao Ying water town with a straw boat. Cao Cao ordered the release of arrows, and all 100 thousand arrows were shot on the grass boat. In order to succeed in Zhou Yu's fire attack, Huang Gai decided to cheat Cao Ying with a painful plan and then surrender.

The 47th time, Kan Ze went to Cao Ying on orders from Huang Gai, and Cao Cao sent Jiang Gan to find out the truth. Zhou Yu placed Jiang Gan in Xishan, Jiang Gan visited Pang Tong at night, and Pang Tong presented Cao Cao with a "chain plan", which made Cao Cao nail all the warships together and created conditions for Zhou Yu's successful fire attack.

The forty-eighth time Cao Cao wrote poems facing the Yangtze River. Liu Fu pointed out the unlucky things in Cao Cao's poems. Cao Cao was furious and killed Liu Fu. Cao Cao opened a series of warships and engaged in war, and volunteered, but was killed by Wu generals Han Dang and Zhou Tai.

In order to cure Zhou Yu's heart disease, Zhuge Liang said that he could borrow the southeast wind and worship at the Seven Star Altar for a day. Finally, the southeast wind blew. Zhou Yu sent Huang Gai to sail and burn Cao Cao's warships, and Cao Cao's 830 thousand army lost more than half.

The fiftieth time, Cao Cao escaped from Chibi, and Zhuge Liang set several ambushes on the road, causing Cao Cao's soldiers to be injured again. Cao Cao was tricked by Zhuge Liang and led his troops to Huarong Road, but was ambushed by Guan Yu. Cao Cao pleaded with Guan Yu, and Guan Yu let Cao go for the sake of past friendship.

The 51st time, Zhou Yu led an army to attack Jingzhou Nanjun and confronted the garrison commander Coss. Coss deliberately abandoned the city and led Zhou Yu into the city, but he ambushed the crossbowman on the watchtower. Zhou Yu was shot off his horse with an arrow and saved by everyone. Zhou Yu tricked Coss into robbing the camp and was about to take advantage of his weakness to attack the city. Unexpectedly, Nanjun and Jingxiang had fallen into the hands of Liu Bei, and Zhou Yu fell off his horse with anger.

Fifty-two times, Zhou Yu sent Lu Su to ask Liu Bei for Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang said that he would have to wait for his son Liu Qi a hundred years later to exchange Jingzhou. Liu Bei used Ma Liang's plan to attack four counties in Jingnan. Zhuge Liang designed Lingling first, and then sent Zhao Yun to attack Guiyang County. Zhao Fan, the satrap, surrendered.

The 53rd time, Guan Yu attacked Changsha County and went to war with General Huang Zhong. Because of his kindness to the enemy, Han Xuan, the Changsha satrap, thought that Huang Zhong had married Liu Bei and was about to slay Huang Zhong, but Wei Yan, who had been dissatisfied with Han Xuan, killed him. Sun Quan attacked He Hai, and the garrison commander Zhang Liao saw through Sun Quan's plan, which led to Sun Quan's defeat and Taishi Ci's death.

The 54th time, Zhou Yu won Liu Bei to Wu Dong, trying to trap Liu Bei with a honey trap, but Zhao Yun used Zhuge Liang's trick to make Zhou Yu's deception come true, Liu Bei was recognized by Sun Quan's stepmother Wu Guotai, and Wu Guotai betrothed his daughter to Liu Bei.

The 55th time, Zhou Yu designed to put Liu Bei under house arrest in Wu Dong. Zhao Yun used Zhuge Liang's trick to pretend that Jingzhou was in a hurry, and Liu Bei and Mrs. Sun returned to Jingzhou together. Sun Quan and Zhou Yu sent troops to intercept them respectively, but they were both stopped by Mrs. Sun. Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei into the boat by the river, which led the sergeant to humiliate Zhou Yu loudly. Zhou Yu was so angry that the arrow wound recurred and she fainted on the boat.

Back to the 56th session, the Tongque Terrace in Yecheng was built, and Cao Cao and all the officials gave a banquet in Tongque Terrace. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang told Lu Su, who came to ask for Jingzhou, that Yizhou must be obtained before Jingzhou can be returned. Zhou Yu wanted to attack Jingzhou in the name of the old gentleman, but Zhuge Liang saw through his plan and arranged four troops to wait for Zhou Yu's troops to arrive.

When Zhou Yu died in the 57th session, Zhuge Liang went to Chaisang to pay his respects and met Pang Tong on his return trip. Zhuge Liang told Pang Tong that if he was unhappy, he would go to Liu Bei. Liu Bei sent Pang Tong to Leiyang County to handle affairs because of his ugly appearance. Zhang Fei visited Leiyang County and found Pang Tong's extraordinary talent, which finally made Pang Tong be reused by Liu Bei.

After Marten was killed by Cao Cao, Ma Chao avenged his father and joined forces with Han Sui to attack Chang 'an and Tongguan. Cao Cao was anti-war, so he was killed by Ma Chao and almost died.

Back to the 59th, Ma Chao and Cao Cao's valiant soldier Chu Xu confronted each other, regardless of the outcome. Cao Cao used Jia Xu's plan to alienate Ma Chao and Han Sui, and finally turned them against each other. In the end, Han Sui was cut off by Ma Chao, but Ma Chao was also attacked by Cao Cao's army and fled to Qiang. Han Sui led the troops to surrender to Cao Cao, and was named Hou Xiliang.

Back to the 60th Yizhou Pastoral Liu Zhang sent an emissary Zhang Song to contact Cao Cao, but Zhang Song was driven out of Xudu by Cao Cao. Liu Bei sent his troops to meet Zhang Song in Jingzhou. Zhang Song thanked Liu Bei for his kindness and dedicated the map of surprisingly forty-one states to Liu Bei before he left. Liu Bei led Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others into Sichuan.
