However, it was said that Zhao Xu and Liu Bei and other civil and military forces led the army to Jingzhou. In fact, when he went to Jingzhou this time, Zhao Xu had other plans in his heart, and he remembered that Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were both in Jingzhou, calculating the age, although Zhuge Liang was still young, Pang Tong could also use it. Second, there is also a strategist Xu Shu in Jingzhou, Zhao Xu also wants to accept him, Zhao Xu is thinking about it. Suddenly, I saw a person on the road ahead, with a scarf and cloth robe, soap silk and black shoes, and a long song. The song says:

Heaven and earth are repeated, and they are on fire;

The building will crumble, and it will be difficult to support a single tree.

There are virtuous people in the valley, who want to vote for the Lord;

The Lord seeks to be virtuous, but he does not know me.

This song startled Zhao Xu, and his thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and he couldn't pick it up again. When Zhao Xu heard the song, he was secretly surprised, and thought secretly: "Could this person be Xu Shu or Pang Tong?" ”

Liu Bei and others heard the song and thought it was very interesting. Zhao Xu said: "Have you ever heard the lyrics of this person: There are virtuous people in the valley, and they want to vote for the Lord;

The Lord seeks to be virtuous, but he does not know me. This man must be a great talent, and the lord can do it

Use it. ”

"Oh!" Liu Bei was surprised, thinking about the lyrics, he already believed most of Zhao Xu's words. Pondering: "Whether he is a talent or not, I just have to get off the horse and treat each other well, even if he is not a talent, let him spread my reputation in Jingzhou." Then he dismounted to meet each other, the lord dismounted, Zhao Xu, Zhao Yun and others naturally couldn't stay on the horse, and followed Liu Bei to dismount.

Liu Bei stepped forward to ask his name, and the man replied: "A certain person is also a person from Yingshang, and his surname is Fu." I have long heard that Uncle Liu Huang is benevolent and righteous, recruits talents, wants to come to the same place, and does not dare to make it, so he sings on the road to listen to the ear. ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed, seeing this person's appearance, he looked at it carefully, and felt that even if he was not a great talent in the world, he must be a talent who was one in a hundred. The troops were immediately ordered to be stationed on the spot and treated each other with courtesy. Zhao Xu saw that Xu Shu was still using a fake name, and secretly laughed, thinking: It is understandable that this Xu Shu hides his name, but Cao Cao's subordinate Cheng Yu knows Xu Shu, if Cao Cao knows that Xu Shu is coming to Liu Bei, it will definitely be the same as in the Three Kingdoms, and in the end it will still belong to Cao Cao, which is not good. Immediately shouted: "If you come to vote sincerely, why do you cover up your name, what is your intention? ”

That Shan Fu was obviously taken aback, and suddenly changed color. Liu Bei, Zhao Yun and others also felt strange, Zhao Xu has always been kind to people on weekdays, but today he is suddenly like this, there must be a hidden secret. Liu Bei asked, "Why is Boxiong so rude today?" ”

You Shan Fu saw that Zhao Xu actually knew that he was pretending to be a name, how could he not be surprised, seeing Zhao Xu's expression, he didn't seem to be deliberately tempting, and secretly thought that an acquaintance might know his mind and tell him secretly. After a long pause, he said: "The general is so good, he can know the name of a certain fake name, and he admires it." I have heard for a long time that there are several generals under Uncle Liu Huang, but I don't know which general is? ”

Zhao Xu said: "A certain is Changshan Zhao Xuye!" ”

"You are Zhao Xu?" Shan Fu was taken aback, and secretly thought: How can this Zhao Xu be so powerful, I have heard for a long time that he uses soldiers like a god, although I have been friends with gods for a long time, but I have never been in contact with him, how can he know that I use a fake name? I saw Shan Fu said: "Even if I was seen through by General Zhao, I won't hide it, a certain Yingchuan native Xu Shu, the character is straight, because of the escape, even more list of blessings." I heard that Liu Jingsheng was recruiting talents, and I went to see him. and discussed things with him before, only to know that he was a useless person, so he made a book to do something else. Later, on Sima Shuijingzhuang, I heard that Liu Xuande, the uncle of the Han Emperor, wanted to come to Jingzhou, and Mr. Sima recommended a certain to join the emperor's uncle, so Xu Shu sang wildly on the road to move the emperor's uncle. It is really rude to come to the emperor's uncle today and pretend to be a name. ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Mr. is talented, it is understandable to cover up his name to avoid trouble, and Yuan Zhi does not have to blame himself." ”

Xu Shu smiled and thanked: "Uncle Wen is benevolent, I didn't dare to believe it in the past, but today I believe it." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he also smiled and said: "Bei'an can have benevolence and kindness, but please teach Mr." ”

Xu Shu said: "Uncle Huang's subordinates have peerless civil and military forces such as General Zhao Xu and Fazheng Military Division, Xu Shu is just a mediocre material, how dare Uncle Pope." ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Mr. is humble, from what Mr. said just now, I can see that Mr. is a great talent in the world." By the way, who is Mr. Sima Shuijing that Mr. just said, and how does he know that he is going to come to Jingzhou. ”

Xu Shu said: "Mr. Sima is a Taoist immortal, in one place, he can know the affairs of the world; Mr. Sima's name, Xu Shu did not dare to say it lightly, and Uncle Huang should visit in person in the future. Xu Shu asked Zhao Xu again: "Dare to ask how the general knows Xu Shu's name, but there is a master to guide him?" ”

"Uh...... Well, this one. Zhao Xu was speechless for a while, he wanted to use Mr. Shuijing as an excuse, but Xu Shu knew him again, if he said it, Xu Shu would mention this matter to Mr. Shuijing in the future, then my image would collapse. But I can't say that I have traveled through time, seen the Three Kingdoms, and know the history, right? Zhao Xu suddenly had an idea, and Zhengse said: "I had a dream last night, I dreamed of an old man, and the old man said: "Zhao Xu, there will be a great talent to vote tomorrow, and don't miss it." "And then it's gone."

"Oh?" Liu Bei, Zhao Yun and the others were all very surprised, thinking that there was such a strange thing? Xu Shu said: "How did the old man look, the general still remembers." ”

Zhao Xu said solemnly: "The old man yesterday has a looming figure, and he can't see it really. By the way, the old man also said that there are two peerless talents in Jingzhou, what are they called 'Wolong' and 'Phoenix Chick'. ”

"What?" Xu Shu shouted in surprise, turned back to Liu Bei and said, "It seems that Uncle Huang is really the savior of the world!" The gods of heaven entrusted their dreams and told General Zhao Xu that it seemed to be providence. "Haha! I am really a genius, the ancients still believed in the heavens more than the later generations, so it passed in a flash. Zhao Xu said happily.

Liu Bei asked: "Who is the Wolong Phoenix Chick, that is, a great talent, how is it better than Mr.?" ”

Xu Shu said: "Both of them are ten times better." If these two people are obtained, they will be tantamount to the three great heroes of the Han Dynasty. ”

Except for Zhao Xu, the rest of the people were shocked, you must know what kind of people the three heroes of the Han Dynasty are, they are famous figures through the ages - Han Xin, Zhang Liang, and Xiao He. Liu Bang's ability to calm the world and defeat Xiang Yu almost all relied on the strength of these three people. Han Xin attacked the city, Xiao He stabilized the rear, and Zhang Liang was able to strategize and win thousands of miles away. It can be said that Liu Bang was able to defeat Xiang Yu, and most of it was due to these three people.

Liu Bei was excited for a while before he calmed down and asked, "I would like to hear the names of the two." ”

Xu Shu said: "Wolong is a native of Langya Yangdu, surnamed Zhuge , and his name is only more than ten years old, after Zhuge Feng, the captain of the Han Division. His father's name is Qi, the word Zigong, Taishan County, died at an early age. Liang from his uncle Zhuge Xuan. Zhuge Xuan and Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou have an old relationship, and because of their past, they live in Xiangyang. After Xuan, Liang and his younger brother Zhuge both cultivated in Nanyang. Taste good for "Liang's Father's Yin". There is a gang in the place where he lives, named Wolonggang, because he calls himself 'Mr. Wolong', and the phoenix is Xiangyang Pang Tongye. These two are peerless geniuses, if these two are willing to assist each other, why worry about the world? ”

Liu Bei said enthusiastically: "Beiwu already has Boxiong, Yunchang, Yide, Zilong, Shuzhi, Dian Wei, etc., and Wen also has Xiaozhi, Yuan Hao, Wenhe, etc. The civil and military are complete, if you have Mr. and the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, you will be like a tiger with wings, like a fish in water. If it is not Mr. Boxiong's words, he is as blind as his eyes. ”

Zhao Xu stepped forward and said: "Yesterday, I heard the old man in my dream, there is still an old mother in Yuanzhi's family?" But is it true? ”

Xu Shu said: "Exactly, I came out to find the Lord this time, thanks to my mother's guidance." ”

Zhao Xu said: "Forgive me for being rude, Yuan Zhi is going out, if the old mother at home has a mistake, it will not be a lifelong regret!" Yuan Zhi has found the lord, why not bring the old mother and go to Linzi to enjoy the blessings together, Yuan Zhi can rest assured at any time, is it not filial piety. ”

Xu Shu suddenly realized and said: "If it weren't for the general's words, Shu would have almost become an unfilial person." It's just that I'm afraid that my mother at home doesn't want to travel far. ”

Zhao Xu said: "This is okay, I am willing to go with you and persuade with words." ”

Liu Bei said happily: "It's so good. ”

Xu Shu arched his hand and said: "Thank you, general, my lord, there is still a shortcut to Jingzhou, if my lord is in a hurry, he can take this road." ”

Liu Bei wanted to go to Jingzhou as soon as possible, so as to return to Linzi as soon as possible, but when he heard that there was a shortcut, how could he not like it, and said: "I would like to listen to Yuan Zhi's instructions." ”

Xu Shu pointed out Liu Bei's route, and then Zhao Xu said goodbye to Liu Bei and only led 800 generals to accompany him. Jia Xu was shocked: "General, you only lead 800 horsemen, if you encounter a chaotic army, after all, it is difficult to support alone, it is better to stay with more men and horses." ”

Liu Bei also nodded yes, Zhao Xu couldn't shirk it, so he had to say: ", a certain good man is also a military general, even if he encounters a chaotic army, it is no problem to protect himself." Moreover, the main public security is the top priority, if the lord and Wen He are still not at ease, let Zilong go with me, how about it. ”

Liu Bei said: "Hmm! With Zilong going, I am more at ease. ”

At that moment, Zhao Xu, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and Liu Bei were separated, and each led the army away.

Yangzhou, Huainan Yuan Shu City Mansion, Yuan Shu looked at Cao Cao's letter, and then looked at the general Yang of the long history below, the governor Zhang Xun, Ji Ling, Qiao Rui, and the generals Lei Bo, Chen Lan and other more than 30 civil and military forces. After a while, he asked: "Cao Cao asked me to rob and kill Liu Bei, and promised to capture Liu Bei's land in the future and divide it equally, what do you think?" ”

General Yang said: "Liu Bei Hu is located in Qing, Hebei, You, and the four states, and the soldiers are rich in food, which is a great disaster in the world. Cao Cao is close to me, can be an alliance, now take advantage of Liu Bei's absence in the station, and Cao Cao to kill Liu Bei, Liu Bei died, Liu Bei's subordinates have no leader, when the time comes, you can attack it with Cao Cao, divide it equally, destroy Liu Bei first, and then try Cao Cao; The lord and the lord can also succeed. ”

Yuan Shu said: "Liu Bei's general Zhao Xu and other brave champions of the three armies, we are really difficult to resist the enemy, how can we be good?" ”

General Yang said: "Well...... Your Lu Bu and Zhao Xu's enmity is as deep as the sea, and now Lu Bu is attached to us, and now he has captured some places in Xuzhou and is stationed in Xiaopei. We should let him be the vanguard, Lu Bu is brave, and he can resist Zhao Xu and other generals; If we promise a reward, he will go. ”

Daxi said: "That's it, then I will punish Liu Bei with Cao Cao." At that moment, let the messenger Pegasus report back to Cao Cao, and order Han Yin to send a secret book and go to see Lu Bu with a heavy gift. Immediately sent Ji Ling as the general, Lei Bo and Chen Lan as the deputy generals, and Lu Bu as the vanguard, commanding 40,000 troops, to rob and kill Liu Bei.

When Lu Bu heard the news in Xiaopei, his eyes immediately lit up and his fists clenched. said angrily: "Zhao Xu, this time you will definitely die at my hands." ”

Chen Gong said: "The general should not be underestimated, there are many brave generals around Zhao Xu, and it is difficult to kill him for a while; We can let Yuan Shu and Cao Cao attack it first, and then we will reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

Lu Bu said angrily: "Zhao Xu deceived me too much, if you don't kill him with your own hands, how can you relieve my hatred; A certain intention has been decided, and Hugh will say more. "Immediately ordered troops out of the city to meet with Ji Ling's army. Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu did not listen to the advice, and looked up to the sky and sighed.

The next day, Cao Cao, who was in Xuchang, learned the news and laughed and said: "Liu Bei is resting, and the world will be mine." Immediately ordered Xu Chu, Xiahoudun and other generals to order 10,000 elite soldiers, all of whom were dressed as Yuan Shu soldiers, and went out in person. Order: Wait for Yuan Shu's army to make the first move, and if Liu Bei and others flee in conflict, then start to rob and kill. Xu Chu and others received the order. Cao Cao clenched his fists and said in his heart: Liu Bei! Zhao Xu! Hum!

Exactly: single-mindedly only for the prosperity of China, and met tens of thousands of wolves and tiger soldiers.
