As soon as Lu Su was sent out of the account, Zhang Fei shouted loudly again: "Why is the eldest brother afraid of Dongwu? Liu Bei's face suddenly turned pale, and he reprimanded: "It's all because you are bent on taking these three counties." The right person Kong Ming sent a letter to say that Cao Cao personally led the army to Hanzhong, but he was afraid that Xichuan would be lost, and hoped that my army would return quickly. He looked at Zhao Shu again and said, "Jingwei is really a clever calculation." ”

Zhang Fei saw that his brother was angry, so he had to step aside. Ma Chao heard Cao Cao's news in the tent, and immediately stepped forward to ask for orders: "Xuande, Cao thief came just in time, and he is willing to lead the army and horses of his headquarters as the vanguard, kill Hanzhong, and fight to the death." ”

Liu Bei was still thoughtful, and said slowly: "Let's discuss this matter again." You can go down and prepare first, and tomorrow you will pull out the village and return to Sichuan. Zhao Shu and everyone withdrew from the tent, and Liu Bei left Zhang Fei alone to speak.

Early the next morning, Zhao Shu came to Liu Bei's tent, but saw that Guan Yu was also there, and stood behind Liu Bei with Zhang Fei, first greeted Liu Bei, and then said to Guan Yu: "Why is General Guan here?" Guan Yu replied lukewarmly: "I heard that the eldest brother is going back to Sichuan on the same day, and I haven't seen the eldest brother for many days, so I miss it very much, so I will come here for a while." Zhao Shu remembered that Guan Feng hadn't seen his father for a long time, so he said again: "Miss is also in the army, and the general can meet him." Hearing Guan Feng, Guan Yu's face moved slightly, but he only replied: "I'll talk about this matter later." He ignored Zhao Shu anymore.

Zhao Shu touched a hard nail, felt bored, and was not speechless, looking around the tent no one spoke, even Liu Bei was closing his eyes to recuperate, and he faintly felt that the atmosphere was wrong. The generals gradually gathered, and finally Ma Chao came in, still thinking about the vanguard, and said: "Xuande, can you let a certain be the front?" ”

As soon as the words landed, Zhang Fei shouted: "Ma Chao, since you have already returned to my eldest brother, why are you so rude?" Ma Chao has always been so accustomed to it, he didn't react, and exclaimed: "Where did Yide start with this?" Guan Yu also pressed his sword at this moment and shouted: "Since you have surrendered to my brother, why don't you give the courtesy of your subordinates and call yourself "lord"? Calling the big brother name, what kind of system does it become? ”

Zhao Shu finally understood why this farce came, and sighed secretly in his heart. Ma Chao has always been arrogant, although he is not a close friend of him, but seeing his embarrassment, he is also about to say something to help. When he raised his eyes, he saw his father-in-law Huang Zhong shaking his head slightly, Zhao Shumeng, Guan Yu came here today, and he had to force Ma Chao to perform the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, so that everyone could understand the relationship between the lord and the minister. His usual etiquette towards Liu Bei is not very thorough. And Liu Bei only discussed this matter with Guan and Zhang Erjiang, and he didn't inform him, so he didn't want to kill the chicken and show it to the monkey? Zhao Shu had long felt that Ma Chao was always "Xuande, Xuande" screaming that something was going to happen, and today he was caught by his two brothers.

Looking at Ma Chao again, he was first stunned, then angry, and then helpless, and finally didn't say a word. Liu Bei didn't care about the things in his ears, and still closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Guan, Second General Zhang drew his sword again and shouted: "Since you are a subordinate, you still don't kneel down and call 'lord'?" Ma Chao clenched his fists, and his green tendons burst out, but he was a poor general in Weizhen Xiliang, and now he had to be polished to remove the hard edges and corners.

Zhao Shu couldn't bear it in his heart, and when he got up, he would bow to Liu Bei respectfully and said, "Lord." The hour was not early, and the soldiers and horses of the battalions were all ready, and the lord gave the order to set off. Liu Bei frowned slightly, but he didn't open his eyes to answer. Zhao Shu had no choice but to kneel on the ground and couldn't get up. Ma Chao was driven by Zhao Shu like this, and finally took two steps forward, knelt down and said: "Lord, Ma Chao is reckless and rude, I hope the lord will not blame." ”

Liu Bei slowly opened his eyes and said, "Hurry up, please get up." He helped the two of them up again and said: "The main minister's festival, the ceremony must not be abolished, the two must not blame the second brother, the third brother is reckless." Zhao Shu, Ma Chao hurriedly said: "Don't dare." ”

Liu Bei said a few words of reassurance before ordering the whole army to set off, still with Zhang Fei as the front. Everyone quit the account and prepared to leave, but Guan Yu shouted to Zhao Shu. After all, it was the future Lord Taiyue, Zhao Shu didn't dare to slack off, stopped and asked respectfully, "I don't know what General Guan commands?" ”

"Don't dare." Guan Yu's face was still cold, and he said, "Feng'er, it's okay if you don't see it." I hope you will be kind to her. After all, blood is thicker than water, Zhao Shu looked at Guan Yu, although he was cold on the surface, he was always concerned about Guan Feng in his heart, so he replied: "General rest assured, Shu will not have a negative miss." Guan Yu nodded and said goodbye to Liu Bei. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were going to send each other out, but Guan Yu just refused, so they went out with Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu hindered Guan Feng's relationship, and personally sent Guan Yu to the gate of the camp, Zhou Cang had already led several people to wait here, and when he saw Guan Yu coming out, he was busy saluting. Guan Yu stepped onto the red rabbit horse, and suddenly turned to Zhao Shu and said: "Today's matter, Ma Mengqi must be grateful to Mr. again." Congratulations to Mr. Rongo, another member of the Tiger General. "Words, without waiting for Zhao Shu to say more, he beat the horse and left.

Zhao Shu knew that not only Guan Yu, but Liu Bei was probably also suspicious of forming a gang. Wei Yan is right, even if he Zhao Shu doesn't have this intention, but Guan Yu, will Kong Ming believe it? Zhao Shu sighed, and when he returned to the camp, Guan Feng was already ready to pack, and returned to Chengdu with Liu Bei's army. Although Liu Bei ordered his troops and horses to go the same way, when he returned to Chengdu, Kong Ming still brought bad news that Zhang Lu had surrendered to Cao Cao.

Hanzhong is the gateway to Xichuan, and its lips and teeth depend on each other. Liu Bei was shocked when he heard that Hanzhong had fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, and asked: "Since Cao Cao has won Hanzhong, he must have the intention of taking Shu." We should plan early. Kong Ming already had a plan in his heart, and immediately said: "The lord can first assign generals to guard the passes. He also sent an envoy into Wu, and made Sun Quan attack Hefei. When Cao Cao heard this, he would lead the army to retreat. ”

Although the plan is very good, but just after fighting for Jingzhou, and now he is sending people to ask for troops, can Sun Quan agree? Liu Bei hesitated again and again, but asked Kong Ming. Kong Ming smiled: "Although he is unwilling to help me in his heart. But Cao Cao's army was far away, and Hefei was empty. This is a good opportunity to take Huainan, how can Sun Quan miss it? ”

This is very reasonable, Liu Bei nodded and said, "In that case, who can make the envoy?" Kong Ming looked around at everyone, and finally said: "The previous time Jingwei entered Wu to mourn Zhou Lang, and won the heart of Wuzhong's soldiers, this time it is not necessary to Jingwei." Zhao Shu watched Kong Ming's gaze sweep over his face, and knew that it was not good, and he didn't know how long the marriage with Guan Feng would last? Seeing Liu Bei coming over, he had no choice but to get up and say, "Shu is willing to worry about the Lord." ”

Zhao Shu immediately said goodbye and returned home, ready to pack. Huang Zhong heard that he was going to send an envoy to Eastern Wu again, and he was worried about his safety, so he also wanted to go with him. Now that Wei Yan is stationed outside, Guan Ping is staying in Jingzhou, except for Huang Zhong, there is indeed no military general to accompany Zhao Shu to protect. But Huang Zhong is also old, how can he toss back and forth for thousands of miles like this?
