Zhao Shuzheng hesitated, but when he saw Guan Feng pushing the door inside, he suddenly had an idea, and said, "If the father-in-law is not worried about the safety of the child, you can let Feng'er go with me." When Guan Feng heard that Zhao Shu was sending an envoy to Dongwu, he came to discuss with him to go together, and immediately agreed when he heard him. Huang Zhong also knew that Guan Feng had martial arts, and the two of them were now decided, so he nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, Zhao Shu and Guan Feng took a few generals, resigned Liu Bei and others, and went out of Chengdu to look at Wuzhong. All the way to the saddle horse boat, until Moling, Zhao Shu did not wait to rest, so he asked to see Sun Quan. Now that Zhao Shu has become famous all over the world, Sun Quan personally descended to greet him and sat down in the hall.

Serving tea left and right, Sun Quan looked Zhao Shu up and down, and suddenly asked: "When Mr. entered Wu back then, he was like this, why is it that after many years, he still looks the same?" Zhao Shu has answered this question many times a long time ago, and he might as well answer it again, saying: "Shu once traveled to the sea, was blessed by the gods, and ate strange fruits by mistake, but he could keep his face unchanged." ”

Sun Quan listened with great envy, and asked some details carefully, Zhao Shu was prevaricating, but he didn't want Sun Quan to secretly remember in his heart, and later made Wei Wen go to sea to search for and find the island of Taiwan, although many people were captured, but they were still beheaded because they had not found the so-called strange fruit.

This is not mentioned for the time being, and said that Sun Quan asked a few words, then returned to the main story, and then asked: "I don't know what happened when Mr. came?" Zhao Shu replied: "Shu heard that Wu Hou wanted to attack Hefei, so he came to persuade him." Sun Quan was puzzled and said, "Lone has no intention of capturing Hefei, where did Mr. hear this news?" ”

Zhao Shu pretended to be relieved and said, "Since this is the case, it is Shu who is too worried." "Get up and take your leave. Sun Quan was surprised, hurriedly stopped, and asked, "Mr. is only here for this matter?" Zhao Shu nodded and said: "Shu knows that Cao Cao's army is in Hanzhong, and he is afraid that Wu Hou has the intention of taking Hefei, so he has come to stop it, and there is nothing else to do." ”

Sun Quan faintly felt that Zhao Shu seemed to underestimate the generals of Eastern Wu, and his face did not heal: "Since Cao Cao's army is far away in Hanzhong, Hefei must be empty." Why not? ”

"No, never." Zhao Shu hurriedly waved his hand and persuaded him: "Although there are few soldiers and horses in Hefei, I have heard that the guard general Zhang Liao is brave and strategic, and he should not be taken lightly. When he said it so obviously, Sun Quan was even more displeased, and said: "Although Zhang Liao is famous, how can there be no heroes in Wuzhong?" Zhao Shu said again: "Although there are many heroes in Wuzhong, I am afraid that none of them are Zhang Liao's opponents. Cao Cao's subordinates, Cao Xiahou and other close ministers did not need it, and Zhang Liao was used alone, so that the people could take on the big responsibility. Sun Quan's face was cold, and he only popped out from between his teeth: "Send off." The two words brushed away. Zhao Shu saw that the plan was feasible, and he also got up and went out of the house to go back to the museum to rest.

Sun Quan was martyred by his father and brother, sat in Jiangdong, and rarely lost, and now he heard that Zhao Shu said that the generals in Jiangdong were worthless, and this breath was difficult to swallow. That night, he sent people to recall Lü Meng, Gan Ning, Ling Tong and other generals to discuss the matter of raising troops. Zhao Shu was overjoyed when he heard the news in the pavilion, Guan Feng saw that his face was full of spring, and couldn't help asking, "How did you persuade Sun Quan to send troops?" ”

"Why persuade him to send troops?" Zhao Shulang said with a smile: "I only said that Hefei is empty, but Zhang Liao is difficult to beat, and the generals of Eastern Wu are not his opponents." Guan Feng suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "It's really better to be a radical general, Sun Quan is a masterpiece, and he still can't stand what others say." Zhao Shu nodded, as the saying goes, "The Buddha lives and the pillar is incense, and the person lives the breath", the bigger the person, the better the face. The task of this trip has been successfully completed, and they can say goodbye to Sun Quan tomorrow, and the two began to pack up again.

After a while, Guan Feng suddenly said: "Sun Quan was provoked by you, and sent troops with anger, I am afraid that Zhang Liao will be defeated." Zhao Shu knew that the result of this battle was that Zhang Liao broke Sun Quan with 800 and 100,000, Wei Zhen Xiaoyaojin, and then Gan Ning robbed Wei Ying with 100 horses. The two armies held each other for several months, and each withdrew its troops. Later, Sun Quan repeatedly attacked Hefei, and his northward movement was blocked, so he focused on Jingzhou in the west. However, if he can obtain Hefei, occupy the land of Huainan, connect with Cao Cao, and deploy heavy defenses, he will no longer be able to capture Jingzhou. Zhao Shu thought of this, so he made up his mind that when he resigned tomorrow, he would reveal some "heavenly opportunities" to Sun Quan, so that he would not be defeated by Zhang Liao. Guan Feng saw that he was silent, how did he know that he had thought so much? I didn't want to bother, so I went out.

On the second day, Zhao Shulai said goodbye to Sun Quan, but Sun Quan only ordered someone to invite him in. After Zhao Shu entered, he saw that the other party's face was cold, and he knew that he was still angry about the words of that day, so he didn't care, but said: "Since Wu Hou has no intention of taking Hefei, Shu has nothing to do in Moling, so please leave." ”

Sun Quan said, "If Mr. has nothing important, why don't you just linger in Wuzhong for a few more days?" Zhao Shu asked why in surprise, and Sun Quan said: "Yesterday, Gu has gathered all the generals, and they all said that Cao Cao's army is far away, and he can take the opportunity to attack and occupy Hefei in order to try to Huainan." Although Zhao Shu was happy in his heart, he still said in his mouth: "Zhang Liao is brave and invincible, I don't know who Wu Hou will be the general?" ”

Sun Quan snorted coldly and said, "Lone also knows that Zhang Liao is going in person, does Mr. think it is an enemy?" "If you are a bystander or an enemy, Sun Quan went in person, and the complete defeat is evidenced by history. Zhao Shu didn't dare to say this, so he had to say: "Wu Hou Qianjun is noble, how can he risk the arrow?" ”

Sun Quan didn't pay attention to it, but just said: "Mr. and live in Moling, but he is lonely and broken, and he captures Zhang Liao alive, and then invite Mr. to get together." "It's really unashamed, Zhao Shuxin said, I'm afraid you were almost captured by Zhang Liaosheng, right? But he really didn't want to see the defeat of the Eastern Wu army, so he turned to Jingzhou in the future, so he said: "Since Wu Hou has the heart to break the enemy in person, it is better for Shu to follow the army, so that he can see the bloody nature of Wu Zhong's male children with his own eyes." Sun Quan also wanted Zhao Shu to follow the army, so he immediately agreed.

Zhao Shu returned to the pavilion and saw that Guan Feng had already packed his bags, so he had to shake his head and smile bitterly, and said that he was going to go on the expedition with Sun Quan. Guan Feng listened, and said in a deep voice, "Do you have any consideration for this matter?" Zhao Shu hurriedly asked why, and Guan Feng replied: "If you really help Sun Quan capture Hefei." What will your uncle think of you? The external appearance is better than Sun Quan, and the internal knot is better than Ma Chao and Wei Yan, what is his intention? ”

Zhao Shu didn't expect this relationship, he was stunned, and then said: "But if Sun Quan can't capture Hefei and capture Huainan, he can't wave his army to the north, and he will want to take Jingzhou in the west." And the two alliances are also in jeopardy. Guan Feng was delicate, and he could understand that Zhao Shu was so much more than trying to relieve Guan Yu's military pressure in Jingzhou, so Ying Ying bowed and said, "I thank you for my father." ”

Zhao Shu stretched out his hand to help her up, and said with a smile: "Your father is my father-in-law, what else do you want to thank?" Zhao Shu looked at her and said, "I went out with Wu Jun, and it was inconvenient for you to follow you, so you can go back to Chengdu and wait for me first." Of course Guan Feng refused, the two sides argued, and in the end Zhao Shu could only agree to let her change into men's clothes and accompany her as a general.
