Chapter Seventy-Three: Setting Up a Mansion and Banquet and Persuading Huaxin to Advance

The room was already full of people standing in the dark, and the blazing torches, bright knives and guns all made Zhao Shu feel a little depressed and bored. Zhang Bao seemed to be commonplace, his face did not change, and he gestured the long sword on Zhao Shu's neck again, and shouted: "Take ten steps back first, otherwise I will kill him." ”

Zhang Bao and Zhao Shu overestimated their weight, and Cao Chun didn't care about Zhao Shu's life and death at all, and still stood with a cold face. Zhang Bao roared a few more times, the sword had already cut several shallow wounds under Zhao Shu's neck, and the blood flowed, but there was still no reaction from Cao Chun, but Guan Feng shouted in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, you be careful with the sword." ”

Zhao Shu was very relieved in his heart at this sentence, even if he was suffering from some pain, it was not in the way, but Zhang Bao wanted to deflate the ball, and he didn't drink any more than half a sound. After another stalemate like this, Cao Cao came with Xu Zhu again, but his face was far less beautiful than the last time.

After all, the overlord is the overlord, and his momentum is far superior to Zhang Bao, Cao Cao just glanced coldly, and Zhao Shu could feel Zhang Bao's hand trembling slightly. For Cao Cao, a woman and a young man who was less than a crown were far from being compared with the scheming Zhao Shu, so he quickly made a decision and said, "Let go of Mr. Zhao, I will let you live." ”

Although Zhang Bao was intimidated by his momentum, he still had to say strongly: "Why should I believe you? Cao Cao didn't say much, and slowly waved his hand, and the archers on both sides immediately opened their bows and aimed their arrows at the three of them.

Death with Guan Feng is called martyrdom, what is it to add another Zhang Bao? Zhao Shu was in a hurry, fearing that Cao Cao would give another order, and everyone would become hedgehogs, so he hurriedly whispered to Zhang Bao: "Do you want Feng'er to bury you here?" For Zhang Bao, or Guan Feng's life is more important than himself, Zhao Shu's sentence obviously worked. Zhang Bao then shouted loudly: "I have to let the two of you go out of the city gate before you can let this guy go." ”

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and agreed to come down, and the left and right armies got out of the way. Zhang Bao escorted Zhao Shu to the front, and Guan Feng followed behind, so he walked out of the south gate of Xudu. Cao Cao gathered more and more soldiers, and all the generals in the city also rushed to hear the news, which really made Zhao Shu feel beautiful.

As soon as he left the city gate, Cao Cao stopped and said, "That's it, you can release the people." Zhang Bao said: "Bring four horses over." Cao Cao also agreed, and let people send the horse over.

When Zhang Bao saw the war horse coming, he pushed Zhao Shu forward and shouted, "Why don't you get out of here?" But he stabbed him in the back with a sword. Zhao Shu didn't know that he would suddenly attack the killer, and he had no intention of dodging. Guan Feng saw it really on the side, and hurriedly used his sword to block it for him, hitting Zhang Bao's long sword, but only made a cut on Zhao Shu's arm. Zhang Bao was full of color and said, "He's like this, and you still protect him?" "Got on his horse and galloped away. Guan Feng glanced at Zhao Shu reluctantly, and also left.

Zhao Shu watched the two horses walk away, broke free of the support of others, walked in front of Cao Cao, knelt down and said, "Shu begged for the prime minister." Cao Cao knew his intentions, frowned slightly, and said: "Jingwei rest assured, I will not send troops to hunt down and kill the two of them." Then he turned to the generals next to him and said, "You all go back to each other." ”

Zhao Shu watched the generals leave one after another, and felt a little relieved, Zhang Bao and Guan Feng were far inferior to **, or Cao Cao was really willing to let them go. Cao Cao ordered someone to pick up Zhao Shu and send him home. Jia Xu was always by his side, never spoke, and waited for Zhao Shu to walk away before asking, "What is the prime minister going to do with this person?" Cao Cao shook his head slightly and said, "Wenhe, don't you think he looks like a person?" Jia Xu knew what Cao Cao was referring to, and he also knew the weight of that person in Cao Cao's mind, so he no longer opened his mouth to persuade him, and he was also old, but he was afraid that he could no longer give advice to the Cao family, or Zhao Shu could just take over his mantle.

For several days in a row, Cao Cao never went to Zhao Shu's mansion again, and he should have felt relaxed. However, in a huge mansion, the tiger and leopard sergeants who had been brought by Cao Chun had three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and they were strictly armed. is called protection, but in fact he is under house arrest, Zhao Shu does not have any free space, although he is accompanied by a beauty, he also feels like a year.

Half a month later, Cao Cao suddenly visited, and Zhao Shu hurriedly dressed up and invited him in. After the two compartments finished the ceremony, Cao Cao said first: "Recently, I have been busy with business, and I will visit Jingwei in the future." Don't be weird. Zhao Shu said: "The prime minister has every opportunity, how dare he have a big job." Cao Cao seemed to be in a good mood today, and asked about Zhao Shu's injuries and some trivial things in his daily life, and Zhao Shu answered carefully.

In the end, Cao Cao finally said: "The person I sent to Chengdu has brought back the exact news. Zhao Shuzhi was referring to Huang Zhong's death, and said with a little excitement on his face: "Thank you Prime Minister for your trouble." When Zhang Bao stabbed me that day, he had already told the truth that my father-in-law had indeed passed away. Cao Cao said: "The deceased is gone, and Jingwei has to mourn and take care." ”

After Zhao Shu thanked him, he suddenly got up and fell to the ground, and said, "Shu has already thought about it confidently in the past few days. Since Liu Bei is unkind, he can't blame me for being unjust. I hope that the prime minister can avenge my father-in-law. Cao Cao looked at it for a long time before he got up and helped Zhao Shu up, and said: "If you get the help of Jingwei, Liu Bei will be destroyed in the near future." He replied: "I will hold a banquet in the house tonight, and I hope Jingwei can also come to participate." Zhao Shu did not refuse, and sent Cao Cao out of the house, but he didn't know if Cao Cao really believed in himself, and now he could only take one step and count one step.

That night, Zhao Shu and Cao Chun went to the prime minister's mansion for a banquet. Cao Cao personally went out to greet the hall and saw that Xuchang was both civil and military. Xu Shu was also sitting in it, Zhao Shu and he glanced at each other, and they were busy looking away, pretending not to know. Zhao Shu has no official position, and he is a newcomer, so he originally wanted to accompany him in the last seat, but Cao Cao repeatedly refused, so he let him sit down under Jia Xu. Zhao Shu couldn't refuse, so he had to sit down, and then looked at the first few people, and his face was unhappy.

After a few rounds of drinking, I saw a civil official get up and say, "The lower official has a matter to the prime minister." Zhao Shu also recognized that it was Pingyuan Huaxin. Cao Cao put down the wine glass in his hand and asked, "What's the matter with Doctor Hua?" ”

Hua Xin then said: "Since the prime minister raised the army, he has begged for the Yellow Turban, destroyed Yuan Shu, killed Lu Bu, broke Yuan Shao, demoted Liu Zong, leveled Zhang Lu, and divided the world into three points, both of which rely on the prime minister's peace." Its merits are extremely heavenly, although Yi, Zhou can't reach. The lower officials have discussed with the hundred officials, and they want to jointly sign a table and ask the Holy Lord to be crowned prime minister. ”

Cao Cao's face was slightly colorful, and he was about to speak, when he saw someone get up and say, "No, no." The prime minister is already the Duke of Wei, he is under one person, above ten thousand, why do you need to accept the prince again? The former Gaozu White Horse swore that if it was not surnamed Liu, it could not be a king. How can the prime minister lose the heart of the world because of a momentary desire? ”
