Zhang Dingbian helped Xu Shu up, and then said: "Yuan Zhi must not be like this, you and I have known each other for many years, how can I not know who you are?" Nowadays, the hearts of people in the troubled world are not ancient, but they are just incognito, and there are many people who do this! The fact that you can say this when you are playing against Zhuge Liang now is enough to show your heart, how can I punish you for this? ”

When Xu Shu heard Zhang Dingbian's words, he wanted to bow down again, but Zhang Dingbian had already prepared for this, and before Xu Shu bowed, he had already supported him, and said: "Yuan Zhi doesn't need to be like this, you are my right-hand man, how can I not trust you?" ”

Seeing this, Xu Shu could only stop bowing, and replied loudly: "The last general has thanked the general for his grace of not sinning, and he will definitely use his life skills to help the general guard the city!" When I was in the academy, Zhuge Kongming's ability was not below me, because he was a few years younger than me, so he was highly valued by Mr., but Zhuge Kongming was indifferent to fame and fortune, I thought he would not be a member of others, but who would have thought that he would be a minister under Liu Bei. Now the two of us finally have the opportunity to face off on the battlefield, this opportunity has been waiting for a long time, and I ask the general to give the last general a chance, so that the last general can go to the east city wall to resist Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, and face off against that Zhuge Kongming! ”

Zhang Dingbian saw that Xu Shu said so, and he couldn't say anything else, but this battle was very important, although Zhang Dingbian believed in Xu Shu's ability to command the army, but he was slightly suspicious of his force, so he said: "Liu Bei has a lot of fierce generals, if Liu Bei sends Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun and others to lead the army to attack the city, Yuan Zhi can be prepared?" ”

Xu Shu smiled coldly and said: "Ten thousand troops are attacking the city, how can the momentum of victory and defeat be changed by the courage of one or two people, if you are brave and good at fighting, you can be invincible, how can that world-shaking Lu Bu be hanged by Cao Cao in the White Gate Tower?" The general can rest assured, even if Liu Bei sends Guan Yu and others to lead the army to attack the city, the last general will also have a way to deal with it, and he will definitely be able to defeat him, and ask the general to give me a chance to go and fight Zhuge Kongming! ”

Zhang Dingbian saw that Xu Shu was confident, so he didn't persuade much, after all, Xu Shu had just announced it at this time, and he and Zhuge Liang were classmates before, if Zhang Dingbian blocked it too much, it might not bring a bad association to Xu Shu.

Zhang Dingbian and even Xu Shu's mind and personality naturally would not suspect him, so he responded: "Since Yuan Zhi has this confidence, then the east city wall will be handed over to you, you can take my token to order the army, and I will seconded fifty guards to you, these guards are our army's hundred warriors, everyone can be called a hundred enemies, if Liu Bei sends Guan Yu and others to lead the army to attack the city, if it is difficult to do, you can send these fifty guards to intercept Guan Yu and others, and you must pay attention to your own safety." ”

After Zhang Dingbian finished speaking, he looked at a personal guard leader and said: "You lead your team to protect the safety of General Xu, General Xu is a talented man, you must protect the safety of General Xu, if there is any accident to General Xu, I will be severely punished!" ”

Zhang Dingbian only has a total of one tun, that is, a hundred guards, and now directly sends half of the guards to Xu Shu, it is enough to see that Zhang Dingbian values Xu Shu, and the guards heard the words and hurriedly responded: "The general can rest assured that we will die before General Xu, as long as we are still alive, General Xu will not be in the slightest danger!" ”

Xu Shu saw that Zhang Dingbian directly handed over half of the personal guards to himself, and he was extremely grateful in his heart, although he wanted to refuse, but he also knew that the courage of Guan Yu and others was not for fun, even if ordinary soldiers were under his command, they might not really be able to block Guan Yu and others, even if they could block them, I am afraid that the casualties would be extraordinary, if there was this team of personal guards to help, his pressure would be much smaller!

Therefore, Xu Shu did not directly refuse, and said: "Since the general has arranged it this way, then the general will be respectful and obedient!! ”

Zhang Dingbian took out a token from his arms and handed it to Xu Shu, and said: "Okay, with your words, I can rest assured, the enemy army has finished arraying, I am afraid that it is about to attack, so you will quickly go to the east city wall to sit down." ”

Xu Shu took the token and responded: "No, the last general will take the order!" ”

After Xu Shu accepted the order, he took these fifty guards and went straight to the east city wall, with Zhang Dingbian's token and these fifty guards as evidence, he didn't have to worry about whether he could command the sergeants of the east city wall.

Zhang Dingbian looked at Xu Shu's majestic appearance of going to the east city wall, sighed in his heart, and said: Shan ......, no, Yuan Zhi, don't blame me for being too careful, this battle is too crucial, if the city is lost, it is likely to directly affect the victory of the lord, I have to make some precautions, but you can rest assured, as long as you defend the city with your heart, these fifty guards will be your best helpers; But if you dare to be unpredictable, then ......

Ay! Yuanzhi, Yuanzhi, I just hope I haven't mistaken you!

Although this team of guards seems to be Zhang Dingbian's deployment to Xu Shu's garrison, they are also the nails that Zhang Dingbian put next to Xu Shu, Zhang Dingbian turned around and looked at the guards just now, he had already given him a look, if Xu Shu dared to make a move, they could cut it first and then play!

Although Zhang Dingbian was willing to believe Xu Shu, he couldn't bet on the 40,000 troops in the Jingling area and the victory or defeat in Jingzhou, and he had to make this decision!

Xu Shu is a person with a lot of thoughts, isn't Xu Shu aware of Zhang Dingbian's thoughts, of course this is impossible, the reason why Xu Shu accepted these fifty guards so easily, part of the reason is also to let Zhang Dingbian relax, otherwise with Xu Shu's arrogance, how could he accept these fifty guards so easily?

At this critical moment, Zhang Dingbian was willing to send him to the east city wall, and handed over part of the military power to him, which was enough to see Zhang Dingbian's trust in him, and Xu Shu was already extremely satisfied with this!!

As for these fifty guards, whether they are helping or eyeliner, Xu Shu will treat them the same, after all, he has no other thoughts, these fifty guards will only become his help, why should Xu Shu fly and bother with Zhang Dingbian to send them in mind?

Xu Shu had just led the guards to the east city wall, read out Zhang Dingbian's military order, and took over the city defense of the east city wall, the war drums outside the city were noisy, the Jingzhou army and the Xinye army all put on a posture of about to attack, and the defenders of the city had great trust in Xu Shu, and under the command of Xu Shu, they soon calmed down.
