Cao Renguan paid homage to the southern general, Liu Bei was promoted to gather generals in his general's mansion, and all the generals came to recount their merits and won a lot. When Zhao Yun stepped forward, he hugged his fists and said: "When the last general entered the city, he captured a Cao officer alive, and his position seems to be not low. Liu Bei nodded and shouted, "Bring it up." Immediately two sergeants escorted a civil officer to the court.

Everyone looked at him urgently, and the man held his head high, his face was fearless, and he had a bit of a heroic spirit that regarded death as home. Liu Bei asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

"Nanjun Magistrate Shi Chen Jiao." The opposite side does not change color, and the answer is as usual. Liu Bei immediately felt a little fond in his heart, and said in a soothing tone: "Are you willing to surrender?" ”

Chen Jiao sneered a few times and scolded: "I was careless for a while, I fell for the trick by mistake, and I was captured by you." Can a dignified man bend his knees to a thief? Zhang Fei was suddenly furious on the side, drew his sword and said, "Such a mad thief, what is the pity to kill him?" "Then he stepped forward.

"General, slow." Zhao Shu hurriedly stopped in front of him, walked to Chen Jiao's side, and bowed respectfully: "Mr. is loyal, Shu deeply admires." Then he turned to Liu Bei and said: "Chen Changshi is a loyal and righteous person, and it is ominous to kill him, and I hope the lord will release him." ”

Liu Bei couldn't help frowning slightly, if he was captured, he would not surrender, but he would be released, wouldn't he be asking for trouble? Sun Qian came back and said: "Chen Jiao is too rude, even if the lord is benevolent and merciful and does not kill, how can he indulge it?" Jian Yong also said: "The soldiers use their lives to conquer this city; Zilong is brave enough to capture this thief. Once released, the heart of the chilling soldiers. ”

Liu Bei bowed slightly, and was about to agree, but he heard Kong Ming say: "Forgive this nobody, what good is it to kill." I couldn't help but hesitate, looked at Zhao Shu a few times, and then said slowly: "Come on, send Chen Changshi out of the city." ”

Although Chen Jiao was at a loss, he had a chance to live, so he still had to grasp it steadily, and after being let go, he hugged everyone and said, "There will be a period later." Then he turned and departed.

Waiting for Chen Jiao to go away, Zhao Shu privately said to Guan Ping: "The young general still wants to fight?" Guan Ping hurriedly nodded fiercely, and heard Zhao Shu say in a low voice: "In this case, the young general can go to the city gate to wait first, but when he sees Chen Jiaozhi, he will capture it back here." Then the major general can still fight tonight. Although Guan Ping didn't understand Zhao Shu's plan, he heard that there was a battle to fight, so he hurried down.

Liu Bei watched Guan Ping go down, and heard Zhao Shu's words, but he never knew what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Why did Mr. go back on his word, didn't he let Bei lose his trust in the world?" Zhao Shu smiled faintly and said, "The lord is less peaceful, Shu has his own thoughts, and he will know in a moment." ”

Sure enough, after a while, Guan Ping arrested Chen Jiao, and as soon as he entered the hall, he scolded: "No faith rats." Zhao Shu hurriedly stepped forward, pretending to be surprised: "Why did Lord Changshi say this?" Chen Jiao snorted coldly, didn't look at him squarely, and said angrily: "If you want to kill, you will kill, what is the reason for playing Chen like this?" It is important to know that 'a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated'. ”

"Your Excellency misunderstood." Zhao Shu hurriedly asked Guan Ping to let him go, and saluted repeatedly: "I remembered that Mr.'s family was still in the city, so I asked Mr. to come back again." Nanjun is already under the rule of my father-in-law, and my husband and noble relatives are inconvenient here, so I ask my husband to go back to his house to clean up and go out of the city with his family. Zhao Shu's words were simply benevolent and righteous, not only Chen Jiao was dumbfounded, but even the people in the hall were extremely surprised, only Kong Ming remained silent, still closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

Chen Jiao came back to his senses in the middle of the ring, looked at Zhao Shu deeply, his face was full of gratitude, and asked, "Mr. Dade, don't forget it." Dare to ask the gentleman's name? Zhao Shu hurriedly said humbly: "A small name is not enough." This is my lord's great virtue, and my husband can thank him. Chen Jiao turned to Liu Bei again and said: "Thank you Uncle Huang for your great kindness, after Jiao is gone, he will resign and go into hiding, and he will no longer be an enemy of Uncle Huang." ”

Liu Bei hurriedly nodded and returned the salute, then glanced at Zhao Shu, and seemed to say, this is the result? It's better to kill it cleanly, why bother? Waiting for Chen Jiao to leave again, Zhao Shu said to Guan Ping again: "Bother the young general to wait at the city gate, and when Chen Jiao arrives, he will be captured back here." ”

"Sir, what are you ......" Guan Ping said unhappily: "Such a faithless and unrighteous thing, Ping will not dare to do it again." Liu Bei also looked at Zhao Shu and said dissatisfiedly: "Since he has promised to return to the mountains and forests, Mr. does not need to be an enemy again." Zhao Shu asked with a straight face: "The lord wants to get Jingzhou, does Xiangyang have two places?" ”

Liu Bei's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he asked eagerly, "Sir, has a good plan?" Zhao Shu then smiled and said: "These two places are on Chen Jiao, and the lord can order the young general to go again." Although Liu Bei was extremely reluctant, he heard that he could get two cities, so he had to order Guan Ping to go again.

After another moment, I heard Chen Jiao's scolding voice from a distance: "Liu Xuande, you are the most untrustworthy." I saw Guan Ping carrying Chen Jiao into the hall again. Zhao Shu still stepped forward with a smile, spread his hands, and said, "Master Chen, hand it over." Chen Jiao was puzzled: "I don't know what the general means." ”

Zhao Shu sneered for a while: "Nanjun Cao Ren, Cao Hong's two generals are all out of the city to rob the camp, and the soldiers in the city will inevitably be in the hands of adults." When the city was broken, the adults must have hidden in a secret place. Although General Zilong bravely captured you, you will have the heart to die, and you will not force you to die. Therefore, I ask the Lord to release him, and you are afraid of fraud for the first time, so you dare to go out of the city alone. But I asked the major general to capture you back, and send you back to your home, and release your family. Thou shalt be grateful in thy heart, and thou shalt not doubt any more. This time when he returned home, he would take out the talisman and carry it out of the city together. The major general captured you twice, so that it was not you, an adult, but a soldier talisman in his arms, why don't you take it out quickly? ”

Zhao Shu talked eloquently, only listening to Chen Jiao's face as if he were dead, and he was paralyzed to the ground. Liu Bei hurriedly glanced at Guan Ping, who reached out and searched in Chen Jiao's sleeve for a while, and sure enough, he found the soldier Fu Cheng and Liu Bei. Liu Bei was overjoyed when he saw it, and said, "Mr. is really a god." ”

Zhao Shu said again: "Now that the soldiers are in hand, the lord can make people go to Jing and Xiang, claiming that Nanjun is in danger, and transferring soldiers and horses from two places to save them, and then take advantage of the void." Liu Bei nodded hurriedly and said, "How about going to Jingzhou with the second brother, going to Xiangyang with the military division and the third brother, and staying in Nanjun with Mr. and Zilong?" ”

Zhao Yun! Zhao Shu's face suddenly changed drastically, thinking that he had come up with so many good ideas, could it be that Liu Bei was still thinking about killing him? Guan Yu seemed to see through Zhao Shu's intentions, so he stepped forward and said: "When the third brother was attacking the city, he was slightly injured and can be exchanged with Zilong." ”

"Oh?" Liu Bei hurriedly walked in front of Zhang Fei and carefully examined it: "The third brother is injured?" Why didn't you say it earlier? Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "The little brother has rough skin and thick meat, and a little injury is not in the way." Big brother don't worry. ”

Liu Bei still asked a few words with concern, and finally said: "Since what is the case, the military advisor and Zilong will take Xiangyang, and the third brother and Mr. Zhao will guard Nanjun." ”
