Chapter 53 A feast is set up to beg for marriage

After Zhang Ren's death, Wu Yi immediately led the crowd to surrender; Liu Bei allowed him to surrender, collected his troops and returned to Fushui Pass. Yu Lu and Zhao Shu were silent, who was the obstruction that made Zhang Ren firmly believe that he could not tolerate others and harm Zhang Song? Kong Ming, Fa Zheng? When Liu Bei heard Zhang Ren's last few words, and saw him commit suicide, he sighed repeatedly, and said a few words of relief to Zhao Shu. Just looking at Zhao Shu's eyes, he was a little more confused.

That night, he rewarded the three armies in Fushui Pass, and paid tribute to Pang Tong with Zhang Ren's head, and then buried him with a good life. In the coming day, Liu Bei raised another army to take Yu County. And then they went to the city and set up camp. On the second day, he ordered Wei Yan to call a challenge under the city, and Liu Xun in the city scolded. Wei Yan was about to take an arrow to shoot him, when he saw a person in the city capture Liu Xun and ordered the city gate to be opened to welcome Wei Yan into the city. Wei Yan entered the city to ask about it, and the person who captured Liu Xun was Zhang Yi, a native of Wuyang, and he was busy making people report to Liu Bei. Not long after, Liu Bei led the army into the city and went out of the list to settle the people, so he was promoted in Liu Xunxingyuan.

Liu Bei rewarded Zhang Yi and ordered Liu Xun to be escorted up. Liu Bei personally untied him and sighed: "I and your father are brothers. Now the situation is unavoidable, the city has been broken, and Chengdu can be broken overnight. Let you go back today, and I will advise your father to think of the people of Xichuan. As soon as the city is opened, I will not treat your father and son poorly. He also ordered Fa Zhengxiu to write a letter to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender, and Liu Xun thanked him and left.

Liu Bei was in the city, rectifying the military horses and recuperating temporarily. On the same day, Yucheng was defeated, Liu Bei and Zhao Shu and Pang Tong were all killed, so he sent people back to Jingzhou to order Kong Ming to lead the army into Sichuan. Now Kong Ming and Zhao Yun went up the river, Zhang Fei took the dry road, took Bazhou, and both armies came to Luocheng. Liu Bei wanted to wait for the generals of Kong Ming to rise in Ruocheng, and then raise troops to enter Chengdu.

After the army rested for nearly a month, there was a report from Malay that Zhang Fei had led the army to the city. Liu Bei exclaimed: "The third brother walked on the dry road, how could he be stopped by soldiers and horses, why did he arrive first?" And he took them all out of the city to meet them. The two sides met, they were very affectionate, entered the city hand in hand, settled down in Xingyuan, and rewarded the three armies. Liu Bei still asked: "The mountain road is dangerous, how can you drive a long way without an army to stop you, and get here first?" Zhang Fei introduced a veteran and said: "In the forty-five places of the road pass, all of them are the work of the veteran Yan Yan, so it has not taken any effort to be on the road." Then he explained Yan Yan's matter and said it from the beginning.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and personally rewarded Yan Yan with the gold trivia armor he was wearing, thanked him and retreated. Liu Bei also ordered someone to rectify the banquet for Zhang Fei, and wash the dust with a strict face. Zhang Fei's son Zhang Bao followed his father into Sichuan, and he was also at the banquet, often looking at Guan Ping with his eyes, which was quite inquiring. Guan Ping knew about Zhao Shu and Guan Feng in the future, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

Zhang Bao saw that Guan Ping still didn't answer, and couldn't bear it, so he raised his glass to his side and said: "Brother Guan, when I entered the city at the right time, my brother saw that Guan Xing was also in the city, I don't know where Sister Feng is?" As soon as these words came out, the banquet was suddenly silent, but those who knew the reason for it all sweated for Zhao Shu. Zhang Fei saw that everyone's faces were different, and he said that it was his own child who was abrupt, so he shouted: "How can you talk about the private feelings of your children at this celebration banquet?" Don't retreat quickly. ”

Zhang Bao was scolded by his father and had to step aside. Zhao Shu got up and saluted respectfully to Zhang Fei, and said, "Shu also has a matter for the third general." Zhang Fei and Zhao Shu have a friendship of fighting side by side, and the relationship has always been good, seeing him so polite, he hurriedly returned the salute and said: "If the military advisor has something to say, please speak up, I will definitely listen to it." ”

Liu Bei saw that Zhao Shu was about to tell him about Guan Feng in public, and he also got up and said, "Jingwei, why don't you think about it for a little longer?" Zhao Shu also saluted Liu Bei and said, "Shu has the trust of the lord." Liu Bei saw that he looked resolute and knew that he could not be persuaded to do so, so he waved away the generals next to him. Knowing what they meant, they all got up and took their leave, and in an instant there were only a few people left in the tent.

No matter how sluggish Zhang Fei was, he could see that something was wrong, and then looked at Zhao Shu and said, "What does the military advisor have to say?" Zhao Shu took a deep breath and said, "As expected by the young general, Miss Guan is in the city. Zhao Shu didn't want to offend Zhang Fei's father and son, but he had no choice but to say: "But Miss Guan and Shu are in agreement, and I hope the three generals can be fulfilled." ”

"What?" Zhang Bao was furious, and then grabbed Zhao Shu's shirt and shouted, "What do you mean by this? Guan Ping was beside him, and hurriedly grabbed Zhang Bao and said, "Brother Bao must not be rude." Huang Zhong was also on the side to guard against Zhang Fei at any time, for fear that he would suddenly attack. Zhang Bao didn't let go, and scolded angrily: "Am I rude, or is this Si?" ”

"Hugh is presumptuous." Zhang Fei's face was pale, he really didn't expect Zhao Shu to say such a thing, angrily scolded Zhang Bao for letting go, and said to Zhao Shu: "What Mr. Shicai said, I would like to think that it is drunk nonsense, and I will have to mention it again in the future." Since Zhao Shu said the words, he was no longer afraid, looked directly at Zhang Fei, and said loudly: "General Zhang is bad." What Shu said is from the bottom of his heart, not drunk nonsense. ”

Zhang Fei clenched his fists and said angrily: "Although I am a rough person, I also know that 'my friend's wife is not a joke'." Sir, you should know that this matter insults my father and son. Huang Zhong saw him pretending, hurriedly escorted Zhao Shu's side, and said: "The three generals are serious, and Wu'er has no intention of humiliating the generals." Zhao Shu knew that he was at a loss, and said again: "Miss and I are indeed in love, and I hope that the three generals will be fulfilled." Zhang Bao scolded angrily beside him: "Two lovers? It's all you talking about, but you can ask Sister Feng to come and confront you. ”

"Brother Zhang." Guan Feng slowly walked to Zhao Shu's side from outside the tent, and said to Zhang Feifuli: "Feng'er can't stand the third uncle. Seeing that Zhang Bao was strong, he was furious, and ran out of the tent with a loud roar. Zhang Fei looked at the two of them coldly, turned to Liu Bei and said, "This matter still needs to be told to the second brother, and then the two brothers will make the decision for me." Yan Yan also turned and walked out of the tent.

Zhao Shu pulled Guan Feng to Liu Bei, bowed to the ground and said: "Shu is the only one thing, I hope the lord will be successful." Liu Bei looked at the two of them for a long time, and his expression was very regretful, and finally said: "This matter still needs to be discussed with the second brother, and I can't make the decision." And he told them to stand down. Walking out of the tent, Huang Zhong left without saying goodbye, Guan Ping looked at the two of them for a moment, and walked away by himself with two words of relief.

Zhao Shu knew that this matter was indeed against common sense, but he was unwilling to flinch, he pulled Guan Feng harder in his hand, and said with a forced smile: "Are you afraid?" Guan Feng's face was also very resolute, and he replied: "From the day I escaped from marriage and entered Sichuan, I can think of today's disaster. If you were afraid, you wouldn't come. ”
