Chapter Fifty-Seven: The First Promotion in the Betrothal Period
Ma Chao has hundreds of people, all of whom were killed by Cao Cao, and they are enemies of the sky. Ma Chao always takes revenge as his responsibility, and when he heard Zhao Shu talk about it at this moment, he asked: "Can Xuande Gong avenge this big revenge?" Zhao Shu replied: "If it's not my lord, Uncle Liu Huang can't." In the past, the saint had a bloody edict against thieves, and the general Xianweng also signed a joint name, but unfortunately he did not act secretly, but he was harmed. Most of the people who signed the blood edict today were killed by Cao thieves, but only my lord remained. Today, if there is anyone who sincerely resists Cao, it must be the emperor's uncle. ”
Ma Chao is also familiar with the story of the edict, and he nodded again and again after listening to his words. Zhao Shu knew that his mind had moved, and continued: "Even from what I said, why didn't the general turn his back on the secret and turn to the light, in order to avenge his father's revenge and make meritorious contributions?" Ma Chao was no longer suspicious, and ordered the sergeant outside the tent to invite Yang Bai, the overseer, to come to the discussion.
When Yang Bai entered the room, he saw Zhao Shu standing aside, but he didn't know him, and asked, "The general called a certain person, what is there to discuss?" Who is this gentleman? Zhao Shu replied with a smile his name, Yang Bai looked at Ma Chao in surprise and said, "What does the general want?" Ma Chao then smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I want to borrow something from you and send it to Xuande Gong as a gift for entering the meeting." ”
Yang Bai calmed down for a while and asked, "What is it?" Ma Chao's face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted: "I specially borrow you to go to the first level." With that, he swung his sword and slashed it. Zhao Shu heard that Ma Chao was ruthless, and when he saw it today, it was true. Ma Chao cut off Yang Bai's head, turned his head and said, "Today, I will go to see Xuande with my husband." Between the words, it was not at all like just now. Zhao Shu looked at the blood gushing out of Yang Bai's neck, almost nauseated, hurriedly nodded in agreement, and walked out of the tent with him.
After the account was issued, Zhao Shu first asked Zhang Fei to enter the pass to tell Liu Bei, since he and Ma Chao, Ma Dai followed. When he reached the pass, Liu Bei had already led the crowd to wait for a long time. The three of them hurriedly turned over and saluted, Liu Bei helped them up one by one, and said with a smile: "Be prepared for Meng Qi, and the thief will die without a day." Ma Chao also said: "Super running around for half a life, I haven't met a famous master, and now I am from Xuande, which is really lucky." ”
Although Zhao Shu heard some inappropriateness between Ma Chao's words in the back, he didn't care, but Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei looked displeased. I was about to mention it out loud, but I saw that Liu Bei didn't care much about it, so I gave up. Everyone returned to the gate, and they had already prepared a banquet to catch the wind for the two Ma Chao brothers. During the banquet, Liu Bei took Ma Chao as the general of Pingxi, the highest military rank in the army.
On the second day, Liu Bei still ordered Huo Jun and Meng Da to guard the pass, and led the army to Mianzhu. At that time, Zhao Yun had pacified the states and counties, and the generals gathered to discuss Chengdu. Ma Chao was anxious to make a contribution, so he asked for an order: "Don't need Xuande to use troops, my brother Ma Dai and I called Liu Zhang to surrender." If it does not fall, it will be taken to offer Xuande. Liu Bei was overjoyed and immediately ordered Ma Chao to lead the army.
Ma Chao and his younger brother Ma Dai led the army straight to the city of Chengdu and persuaded Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang was originally a cowardly person, but when he saw that the general trend had gone, he personally printed the silk books and surrendered to Liu Bei in the camp.
In the summer of the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei entered Chengdu, led the Yizhou pastor, and opened the government with General Zuo, and all the civil and military officials were rewarded. Kong Ming also said that Liu Bei said: "Now that Xichuan is pacified, it is difficult to tolerate the two masters, so Liu Zhang can be sent to Jingzhou." Liu Bei followed his words and sent Liu Zhang to the public security to settle down.
Zhao Shu entered the military general, Huang Zhong also entered the western general, and Liu Bei Naici lived with the father and son. Guan Ping was ordered to return to Jingzhou to report the good news, as for Guan Feng, Guan Xing and both lived in Zhao Shu's mansion. On the second day of entering the city, Zhao Shu changed his lazy attitude in the past, got up early in the morning, and went out with Guan Xing. Yu Lu inquired about Zhang Song's brother Zhang Su's mansion, and when the two arrived at the door of Zhang's mansion, they saw that there were already soldiers guarding the door, and a seal had been affixed to the door.
Zhao Shu is now a leading figure in the army, and when the officer guarding the gate saw him coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and say hello. Zhao Shu dealt with it casually, and then asked, "Where are you soldiers?" Why here? The other party replied: "We belong to the Taishou Mansion, and last night I was ordered by Lord Fa to come to raid Zhang Su's Mansion." ”
Zhao Shu secretly complained to himself, knowing that he was late, but he didn't give up, and asked again: "Where is Zhang Su now?" The officer replied, "Zhang Su was killed by Fa Taishou last night because he reported his brother Zhang Song to Liu Zhang, which caused Zhang Song to be killed."
In the end, it was still preempted, and it was all blamed for drinking too much at the celebration banquet last night, so he couldn't come at that time. Zhao Shu remembered that Zhang Ren had said that he killed Zhang Song. But Zhang Song was reported by his brother, so Zhao Shu wanted to come to Zhang Su to ask what was going on. Now that he has been removed by Fa Zheng first, could it be that he is killing people and destroying his mouth? But there was no proof of death, so Zhao Shu had to sigh and go home.
Yizhou was initially decided and was busy with affairs, but Zhao Shu was not very clear about internal affairs, and he took Kong Ming as his teacher in everything. Kong Ming also seemed very friendly, but he took the trouble to explain when he asked. It's a pity that Zhao Shu is really not interested, and after a few days, he simply asks Kong Ming for all the chores, and goes back to the house to relax, and Kong Ming is even more willing to help.
Liu Bei was also busy recruiting talents, such as Huang Quan, Liu Ba and others also wasted a lot of thought before they were invited to leave the house and join the office. So Zhao Shu lived a very leisurely life. And Guan Feng has gradually won the favor of the old man Huang Zhong in the mansion, and he is no longer as opposed as before, which also makes Zhao Shu breathe a sigh of relief.
One day, Liu Bei suddenly invited Zhao Shu and his son to go to General Zuo's Mansion with Guan Feng, he was very puzzled, but he didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly sorted out his clothes, and rode over. Entering the hall, in addition to Wei Yan, Liu Feng and others guarding the town, all the civil and military forces in Chengdu were there, which made Zhao Shu even more confused.
The three of them saluted Liu Bei and sat down, and they heard Liu Bei shouting: "Guan Pingxian's nephew, don't come out yet?" But I don't know when Guan Ping has rushed back from Jingzhou. Guan Ping walked up to the hall beamingly, saluted Liu Bei, and then sat down, next to Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu asked in a low voice: "When did the elder brother arrive in Chengdu, but he didn't predict the younger brother?" ”
Guan Ping smiled but didn't answer, and heard Liu Bei say: "Summoning all the princes here today is to announce a happy event." Liu Bei looked at Zhao Shu again and said with a smile: "Guan Pingxian's nephew came from Jingzhou, brought news of the second brother, and agreed to the marriage of Jingwei and Feng'er. Zhao Shu was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and thanked Liu Bei with Guan Feng.
Zhao Shu peeked at Zhang Fei and saw that the father and son were still very unhappy on their faces. Liu Bei asked the two of them to sit down again, and said: "Shicaiwu discussed with Zhuge Junshi, the third day of the first month of next month is an auspicious day for the zodiac, and it is appropriate to get married." What does Jingwei think? ”
Of course, Zhao Shu felt that the sooner the better, and was about to agree, when he heard Guan Feng beside him say: "Uncle, is the wedding period in a hurry?" My father is far away in Jingzhou, how can I come to the main marriage? ”
