"Liu Zhang'er is scared, there is a general here, the Sichuan thieves have been defeated one after another, Liu Zhang is here to negotiate peace."

Li Yan and the other Jingzhou generals glanced angrily at the fat general, this person's name was Zhang De, who was the cousin of Zhang Yun, the deputy governor of the Jingzhou Navy Army, the son of Liu's cousin.

Zhang De was originally ordered by Cai Mao to come to Guxiangyang to transfer troops, but just in time for the Sichuan army to destroy Yongdao, Zhang De did not dare to go back alone, so he started to lead the army in Guxiangyang.

Zhang De basically doesn't do anything else except eat and drink every day in ancient Xiangyang, he doesn't sleep with a girl, he doesn't command blindly, he doesn't care about military affairs and doesn't interfere in military affairs, every time Xu Shu and other Jingzhou generals discuss matters, he eats on the side, and Jingzhou generals simply think that Zhang De gave birth to him for food.

Zhang De has two problems, one is afraid of death, originally the Sichuan army did not besiege the city, a few fast horses can still go back to Xiangyang, but Zhang De is afraid of encountering the Sichuan army to explore, and he will not go back if he is killed, and the second is good work, he does not deal with military affairs, but every time he wins a battle and repels the Sichuan army, he is the most elated, and he must preach to the soldiers.

Xu Shu and a group of generals in order to cope with the fierce attack of the Sichuan army, their hearts were broken, and when they heard that Liu Zhang sent an envoy to negotiate peace, Zhang De actually said that it was his own credit, and the generals were very angry, but Xu Shu did not express his position, and there was nothing he could do.

Xu Shu's face was expressionless, he was used to Zhang De's ugliness, he didn't pay attention to this kind of wine bag and rice bag at all, Xu Shu's index finger tapped on the edge of the sand table, and slowly said to the soldiers: "Call the Sichuan army envoy in." ”

Xu Shu didn't believe that people like Liu Zhang would come to talk about peace at this time.

............ "In Xia Yang Zishang, I saw Xu Junshi. "The envoy of the Sichuan army was an old man with a white beard, who looked to be about fifty years old, sloppy, with his hands and feet tied like Li Yan, his face was full of red light, and his back was a little hunched.

"Yang Zishang? Haven't you heard of Liu Zhang's subordinates having this person? Li Yan looked Yang Zishang up and down, and said suspiciously.

"Haha, this is Li Yan Li Sima, he is not a minister of the Sichuan army, he used to do carpentry work in the countryside of Baichuan, and now he is a carpenter in the Sichuan army, responsible for building the sliding wheels of the catapult." Yang Zishang said happily.

"Hahaha." The generals of Jingzhou laughed.

"Hahaha." Yang Zishang laughed along, laughing more exaggerated than the generals of Jingzhou, and the laughter of one person covered the entire hall, and the boss with his mouth open, his beard and hair trembled.

"Liu Zhang has no one under him, so he sent a carpenter to be a messenger." After Zhang De finished eating the barbecue, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, walked over with his stomach upside down, and looked at Yang Zishang with disdain. "What are you laughing at, old man?"

"Isn't it ridiculous that a bunch of people are standing on their graves and laughing?" After Yang Zishang finished speaking, he laughed again, and his laughing fist slammed into the big red pillar next to him, treating the Jingzhou generals as if they were nothing.

"What did you say?" A group of Jingzhou generals took a step forward angrily, thinking that they were all Jingzhou generals, and now they were humiliated by a carpenter sent by the Sichuan army, how could they not be angry. Xu Shu hugged the generals, glanced up and down at Yang Zishang and said, "This messenger, what did Liu Zhang call you to do?" Are you here to negotiate peace? ”

Seeing that this carpenter was in the lobby of the Jingzhou generals, his face did not change, and he talked and laughed freely, he knew that he was by no means an ordinary carpenter, Xu Shu did not mean to despise it, and he did not have that thought.

"Peace? Joke. Yang Zishang said contemptuously: "Now that our Sichuan army is at its peak, your Jingzhou army is at the end of the crossbow, Xiangyang projectile city, you can go down with a snap of your fingers, Liu Biao secretly communicates with Cao thieves, betrays the clan, my lord is the uncle of the emperor of heaven, and it is his responsibility to help the Han Dynasty, how can he make peace with the rebellious ministers and thieves?" Yang Zishang came here to persuade him to surrender and save his life. ”

"The old man said that he didn't want to live anymore." A Jingzhou general stepped out.

Li Yan sneered: "This Mr. Yang, I'm afraid it's too much, these Japanese Sichuan army attacked the city, my Jingzhou soldiers resisted bravely, the Sichuan army attacked fiercely, but it didn't take advantage of half a day, we also saw you bury thousands of corpses yesterday, I'm afraid it should be you at the end of the crossbow, right?" ”

"Under the surname Yang Zi, not surnamed Yang." Yang Zishang is slow and straightforward.

Li Yan's face turned red with anger, he only thought that Zishang was the word of Yang Zishang, but he didn't expect that these grassroots people, with strange surnames, and they were also well-educated, would make such an oolong, and they were speechless for a while.

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly to Yang Zishang: "Mr. Yang Zi, why did Liu Zhang ask you to persuade him to surrender, according to my Xu Shu, the Sichuan army is probably more uncomfortable than my Jingzhou army now, I don't know how many days your food can last, this scorching sun is in the sky, and the soldiers are also tormented by not adapting to the water and soil, I think you should return to Yizhou as soon as possible, so as not to lose your innocent lives." ”

"That's it, go back to Yizhou as soon as possible." The generals listened to Xu Shu's words and were greatly relieved.

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, the dry bones in the mound are still ugly." Yang Zishang shook his head one after another, looked at the generals in Jingzhou, and pointed at them one by one: "Look at you one by one, Xu Shu, there is no distinction between right and wrong, inside and outside, acting for the tiger, subservient to the traitor, and falling into the devil's cave but being willing to be pitiful."

Li Yan, conceited of his talents, condescended to his position, unwilling but cowardly and decisive, which is a pity.

………… Han Song, who was poor and did not change his temperament, lived in seclusion in Lixi Mountain, and was a master, but he was forced by Liu Biao to be engaged, humiliated and obeyed, and refused to accept direct advice, still not awakening, hateful.

And you ......."

Yang Zishang walked up to Zhang De, who was sitting on the steps, and glanced at the barbecue plate in the corner: "There is still a drop of oil on the nose." ”

Yang Zishang scolded Jingzhou Wenwu one by one, returned to the center of the hall and said loudly: "A group of pitiful, lamentable and hateful people, they don't know that they are dying, I, Yang Zishang, have come to save your lives, you should bow down and thank you, but you are forceful, as soon as my army arrives, you all have to be martyred with Liu Biao's old son." ”

"Presumptuous." Zhang De wiped the oil on his nose, jumped up from the ground suddenly, and said angrily to Yang Zishang: "You dare to speak disrespectfully to General Ben, come on, drag him out and cut it." ”

"Never." Xu Shu hurriedly shouted.

Zhang De walked up to Xu Shu and asked softly, "Could it be that this old guy has a point, we are really going to die?" Zhang De has a benefit, and he is not ashamed to ask.

Xu Shu groaned: "This person's words are empty, his words are nothing, and he is just a lie. Liu Zhang wouldn't come to ask Xu Shu to know, but Xu Shu really couldn't think of why Liu Zhang would persuade him to surrender.

"Then it'll be fine, hahaha." Zhang De laughed out loud, turned to Yang Zishang and said: "The surname is Yangzi, if you learn from Yangzi and kneel down and beg me, I will spare your life, otherwise, I can only let your head out." ”

"Hahaha." The generals laughed and had a good impression of Zhang De for the first time.

At this moment, a soldier came to report: "Report to the military division, General Zhang, the Sichuan army has built a dam in the upper reaches of the Han River, cut off the water of the moat, and the amount of water in the river in the city has also been greatly reduced." ”

"Huh?" The generals were shocked and looked at each other, Zhang De suddenly became nervous, and said to Xu Shu urgently: "Sir, the Sichuan army is going to flood the city, you quickly think of a way, think of a way." Zhang De's face was pinched in one place.

Xu Shu sighed in his heart, and Li Yan on the side said bluntly to Zhang De: "General Zhang, don't worry, Mr. expected the Sichuan army's move, the waterways in the city have been dredged, and the reservoir and sidewalks have been opened. ”

Li Yan only hated in his heart, a person like Zhang De who was greedy for life and afraid of death could also be his boss, although Yang Zishang, a carpenter, did not seem to be a lobbyist at all, but Li Yan couldn't wait to follow Yang Zishang.

"Is it really going to be okay?" Zhang De didn't believe Li Yan and stared at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu nodded helplessly.

"Really?" Zhang De still can't decide.

Xu Shu looked at Zhang Deyuan's oily face, and longed to stab a sword from the position of others, suppressed the impatience in his heart, and said calmly: "Really." ”

"Haha." Zhang De was happy again, when he came to ancient Xiangyang, Cai Mao asked him to pick Xu Shu's thorn, but Cai secretly told him to listen to Xu Shu's words more, don't interfere with the defense of the city, Zhang De has always been good at accepting people's words, and now he is picking Xu Shu's thorn, secretly recording, and listening to Xu Shu's words.

Since Xu Shu said that it was okay, it must be fine.

Zhang De suddenly became bolder, and said arrogantly to the sergeants on both sides: "What are you still doing in a daze? Isn't General Ben's words useful? And he dragged the sheep out, and cut off his head and hung it in the city for three days. ”

"No, General Zhang." Xu Shu shouted.

Zhang De turned around and said, "Didn't Mr. say that the Sichuan army is not to be worried?" What, then, is there to keep such arrogant people? It's better to kill and deter the Sichuan army, does Xu Shu have sympathy for the Sichuan thieves? ”

Xu Shu frowned, and his intuition told him that Liu Zhang and Fa Zheng would not know about Gu Xiangyang's flood control methods, and would not use such an inferior strategy, but they couldn't think of any conspiracy of the Sichuan army, so they could only say: "The two armies are fighting, don't kill them, and the general will think twice." ”

"...... like this" Zhang De was a little embarrassed, his round head was biased, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said happily: "Then cut off one of Yang Zishang's ears......"

Xu Shu was just about to speak, Zhang De said coldly: "Mr. said that if you don't kill the envoy, I won't behead, if Mr. persuades you again, and you can't make sense, you will be suspected of collaborating with the enemy." ”

Xu Shu shook his head, and finally had nothing to say, and walked to the sand table to see the military situation of the two armies, Li Yan followed, glanced at the high-spirited Zhang De, and said to Xu Shu: "Zhang De is too rude, if it weren't for Mr., Gu Xiangyang would have been lost a long time ago, and he would be arrogant?" ”

Xu Shu sighed: "Don't say it, it's important to think about how to fight against the Sichuan army, although this Zhang De is lazy and greedy for life and afraid of death, but at least he can't cause chaos." ”

Li Yan snorted, stretched his eyebrows and said to Xu Shu: "Sir, the Sichuan army has finally attacked the city with water, it seems that these days are attacking the city, the Sichuan army is helpless against the city, Liu Zhang and Fa Zheng have nothing to do, as long as they attack by water, they only have one chance, and with Mr. here, this chance is almost zero, it seems that we are going to win." ”

"I hope so." Xu Shu said three words, but his face was deeply sad.
