Chapter Forty-Six: Zhao Botao Gets His Noble Son, Sun Zhongmou Sneaks into Jiangdong

"Is that so?" In Wancheng, Guan Yu was also taken aback when he heard the news from Hebei that he had carefully explored.

"No wonder Cao Hong and Xu Huang want to dig up the earth and build the city, just to hide their troops and secretly send people to attack Hebei!" Zhuge Liang thought about it for a while, and then he understood what was going on.

The city is not the same as the camp, especially in terms of secrecy, the former is far stronger than the latter. Cao Hong and Xu Huang have an army of 100,000, if they are stationed in the camp, once they are mobilized, it is easy to be carefully explored, after all, you are a small number of people, and the whole camp looks empty from the outside in the daytime. But the city is different, even if it is a broken city, it is difficult to see how many people are in the city from outside the city. Xu Huang and Cao Hong secretly transferred 5,000 men and horses every day after building the city hastily, but more than 10 days transferred most of the army, leaving more than 30,000 people here to contain Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, and the rest of the men and horses returned to Yanzhou and then passed through Dongjun to the junction of Yanzhou and Qingzhou. At the same time, Cao Ying also used the same method to secretly transfer troops from Liang County to here, and after the two roads converged, as soon as Yuan Shang surrendered, he would enter the hinterland of Jizhou at full speed. The general who led the army was Xiahou Yuan, who was famous for his raids, but he captured half of Jizhou in October. At present, Yuan Tan is returning to the horse with his whole army, preparing for a decisive battle with Cao Ying.

"The Yuan family brothers are in civil strife, it seems that Hebei will be obtained by Cao Ying." Guan Yu sighed. Turning his head to look at Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu asked, "Kong Ming, what should I do now?" ”

Zhuge Liang lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally sighed: "If Yuan Tan is defeated, Cao Ying's power in Hebei will inevitably increase greatly, and the future lord will face Cao Ying's great pressure." The only way to do this is to contain Cao Ying as much as possible. However, the junction between Cao Ying and our army is only Yanzhou and Yongzhou, the former is garrisoned by Xun Yu, and the latter has the risk of Qin Pass, which is not easy to capture in a hurry. Jingzhou is only tens of thousands of horses, and it has to face Zhang Lu, how can it start fighting again? Please also report to the lord as soon as possible and ask him to decide. Guan Yu also knew that Zhuge Liang was telling the truth, so he hurriedly sent someone to send a letter to Liu Bei, and it was up to him to decide.

"Is that so?" Liu Bei was also shocked when he heard the news. Not only him, but even Pang Tong and others found it difficult to accept this result for a while. In this way, Cao Ying's vigorous coalition army attacked Liu Bei before, but it was just a cover? This bureau is too big, and Cao Ying's strategic intentions are indeed not so easy for people to figure out.

"If Yuan Tan is defeated, we will face Cao Ying alone, and it will be very difficult. The second brother has few soldiers and can't attack Cao Ying, so we will send troops to attack Liang County and Yanzhou to contain Cao Ying! Liu Bei thought about it for a while and understood the key to this, and immediately sent Zhang Fei to lead the army to attack Liang County. At this time, someone came to report that Zhao Feng had repelled the southern barbarian army, and killed the leader of the barbarian army, Meng Shu, and sent someone to send his head.

"General Zhao has only tens of thousands of horses under his command, and he can actually repel 100,000 southern barbarian troops and kill Meng Shu. Even if it is a famous general of the ancients, it is nothing more than that. Xu Shu said with emotion when he heard this. Liu Bei was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered to summon him to make it difficult. After the meeting, Liu Bei immediately ordered Yang Feng to be the general of the Zhonglang of the People's Republic of China, Gao Ding to be the general of the Zhonglang of the Zhenman, and E Huan to be the general of the Yamen, so that he would be the commander of the Nanzhong of Yongzhen.

"My lord, now that the matter of the Southern Barbarians has been resolved, and Cao Ying's coercion has been removed, now that General Zhao and the second general can send troops to help Chi Shangyong and defeat Zhang Lu." At this time, Lu Su suggested. "Well, Zhang Lu, this demon Dao, dares to take the opportunity to invade my Jingzhou, don't give him some color to see how you know it's powerful?" Liu Bei was not a person who was beaten and did not fight back, so he immediately followed the advice to send troops from these two places. Poor Sect Leader Zhang was confused for a while, and for the development of the Wudoumi Sect, he listened to Cao Ying's flickering to make Liu Bei an enemy. Now that Cao Ying has withdrawn, Liu Bei's anger of revenge will be borne by him.

"The lord wants me to go north to help Zang Xuangao defeat Zhang Lu?" In Hanshou's rebellious general's mansion, Zhao Feng finished reading Liu Bei's military order that had just been delivered in front of him, and smiled at Zhu Ran and the others under his command. At this time, it was more than 20 days after Meng was defeated and died, but Sun Fu and the others did not leave for a while, and still stayed in Jingnan to listen. At the same time, due to the fighting, this year's recruitment of new recruits has also been delayed, and now it will have to be started again.

"General Zhao, I haven't contributed to the fight against Nanban Fu, and now this is Zhang Lu, so I will lead the Yangzhou army to sweep it away!" Sun Fu looked at the people around him and said. To say that Sun Fu was indeed a little depressed, as soon as he ran over to help, the Southern Barbarian Army was in chaos, and he didn't get any credit.

"It's good!" Zhao Feng felt that it was more than enough to rely on Sun Fu to clean up Zhang Lu, after all, there were still Zang Ba and Ji Ling there, and the generals of Hanzhong could barely handle it with one Yang Ren, and the strategists were even less than enough, and it was more than enough for them to clean up the Hanzhong army. At that moment, Sun Fu led the 10,000 Yangzhou troops to bid farewell to Zhao Feng and rushed to Shangyong.

"General, just now the report came from the house, and your wife is about to give birth!" As soon as Sun Fu left on the front foot, Niu Jin on the back foot hurried over. "What?" Zhao Feng was a little restless when he heard this, he was busy with Nanban's affairs these days, and Zhen Jiang couldn't take care of it.

"The general can go back and take a look first, I am waiting here, and there is no war, so I can be safe." Seeing this, Shi Guangyuan knew that Zhao Feng was very worried in his heart, and hurriedly admonished. Zhao Feng was not polite to him, so he hurriedly said goodbye to everyone and hurried all the way home.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the atmosphere in my home was already a little tense, and a group of people were busy preparing for various matters. "Husband (brother-in-law)", seeing Zhao Feng coming back, Diao Chan and Zhen Mi hurriedly greeted him.

"How's your sister?" Zhao Feng listened to Zhen Jiang's heart-rending screams in the room, and he didn't scream that his heart was as uncomfortable as being grabbed by someone.

"It's been almost an hour since the midwife went in, and she said that her sister was giving birth for the first time, and it was always a little painful." Diao Chan looked at Zhao Feng's face was already a little pale, and hurriedly relieved.

"It's okay!" Zhao Feng didn't know if he was comforting himself or his second daughter. In this era without anesthesia, giving birth to a child is definitely an extremely painful thing. Zhao Fengkong has a body of martial arts, and his medical skills are also quite exquisite, but now he can't help at all.

During this period, people came in and out several times, although Zhen Jiang's screams never stopped, but according to the midwife, everything went well. In the afternoon, just when Zhao Feng and the others were about to become numb, a loud baby cry came from the room, and at the same time, Zhen Jiang's screams came to an end.

"It's raw!" Zhao Feng hurriedly rushed to the room, but the midwife was already guarding the door. "Congratulations to the general, it's a boy, mother and son are safe!" The midwife came out with a bright smile and congratulated. "Reward!" Zhao Feng only had time to say a word, and then he hurried into the room.

A group of maidservants in the room were busy bathing and dressing the newborn child, and at the same time cleaning Zhen Jiang's body. Not long after, a big fat boy was tightly wrapped and sent to Zhao Feng. "I'll hug me!" Zhao Feng was busy and carefully hugged his son, the little guy's eyes hadn't opened yet, and his skin was ruddy. I was just born and cried a few words, and now I'm asleep again.

"Wait outside the door!" Zhao Feng blasted away all the idle people, and sat down beside Zhen Jiang with his son in his arms. Zhen Jiang was sweating profusely and panting for a long time before he said, "Husband, we finally have a child!" ”

"yes, finally have a baby." Zhao Feng said with emotion. It's been more than ten years since I came to this world, and I haven't had much sense of belonging to this world. But all this should improve with the birth of my own child.

"Did the husband come up with a name for the child?" Zhen Jiang regained his strength a little and continued to ask.

"I've thought about it a long time ago, it's called Zhao Zheng, the word Chengping, how about it?" Zhao Feng said without thinking. This name has no other meaning, it just hopes that his son can be decent and have a safe life. Zhen Jiang heard that there was nothing to do, Zhao Feng saw that after his wife gave birth, his spirit was a little sluggish, so he asked her to rest first, and at the same time called the nurse who had already been invited to take care of their mother and son.

"Brother-in-law, I want to go see the little one." As soon as he left the room, Zhen Mi had already stepped forward expectantly. "Okay, but gently, your sister is tired." Zhao Feng said with a hint of pampering. Zhen Mi nodded when she heard this, and tiptoed into the room to see.

"Finished reading so soon?" Zhao Feng saw that Zhen Mi came out not long after, and asked in some surprise. "The little ones are cute, but I'm sure my kids will be cuter." Zhen Mi was a little ashamed.

"Little girl is blowing nonsense!" Zhao Feng was a little crying and laughing. I didn't want Zhen Mi to hear this, but she said a little unconvinced: "I'm already twenty years old, I can get married a long time ago, I'm not a little girl, you are not allowed to call me that!" ”

"Okay, okay, if you don't call, you won't call, big girl!" Zhao Feng vaguely guessed why she was mad, but he didn't want to be too picky now. After all, your wife has just given birth, and you flirt with your sister-in-law, so it's too much to say.

A few days later, the news of Zhao Feng's son spread all over Liu Bei's rule. Liu Bei, who had returned to Shouchun, also sent a letter of congratulations in person when he heard the words, and sent congratulatory gifts, and the rest of the people were not to be left behind. Not only that, since Zhao Feng is now the Marquis of Guannei, his son can be an official, so Zhao Zheng, who is still in infancy, also has the title of five doctors. Zhao Feng remembered that Qin Shi Huang once named a pine tree that he sheltered from the rain as a fifth doctor, but he didn't expect that his son would be on the same level as the tree.

After the third day, Zhao Feng washed the third for his son. It didn't take a lot of effort to invite a few colleagues who were in Hanshou to come for a meal. During the banquet, the nurse took the child out to meet the people, but the little one did not recognize the life, and looked at the people in front of him with dripping eyes.

"This kid is really a tiger and has extraordinary courage!" Zhu Ran's words are chiseled. Zhao Feng knew that he was a sycophant, but he was still happy, who didn't want their children to be praised? Everyone was blowing and farting to themselves, but they heard Niu Jin report that one person claimed to be Zhao Feng's nephew and asked to see him urgently.

"Nephew?" Zhao Feng was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then understood that it should be Zhao Yu's son Zhao Quan, but he didn't expect him to be so well-informed, so he hurriedly invited him.

"Uncle!" Zhao Quan was covered in blood, his clothes and armor were scattered, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground and cried. When Zhao Feng and the others saw it, they immediately felt a chill in their hearts.

"Virtuous nephew, hurry up, how is your father?" Zhao Feng seemed to have guessed something, and asked in a trembling voice while stepping forward to help Zhao Quan. Zhao Yu is too guarded, Zhao Quan has been stationed with him to guard Huiji, is there something wrong there?

"Uncle!" Zhao Quan said with tears in his eyes: "Huiji County Cheng Lu Fan colluded with Sun Quan to kill my father, and now Huiji County has been occupied by Sun Quan again, and my nephew has to fight to the death, so I beg my uncle to avenge my father!" ”

"What?" Hearing this bad news, not only Zhao Feng, but also Zhu Ran and others were in an uproar.
