The general is the soul of the soldiers of the army, and now that Xiahou Yuan is dead, who will have the courage to resist if the soldiers on the mountain will see it? Zhao Shu and the other sergeants rested for a while, and then led Gao Ping to grab Xiahou Yuan's head in front, and waved his army to attack the mountain again. He also ordered the sergeant to shout loudly: "Xiahou Yuan is dead, and those who descend will not be killed." ”

The Cao army on the mountain is all Xiahou Yuan's subordinates, and they respect it like a god on weekdays, and they all rush forward to find out what is going on when they hear the Sichuan army shouting like this. Once he saw Xiahou Yuan's head, he was terrified, and when he saw the Sichuan army killing, he retreated with a slight resistance, and even surrendered. Gao Ping led the army in front, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fei responded in the back, and when they saw it, they were halfway up the mountain, and the Cao army village of Dingjun Mountain was at their fingertips.

Zhao Shu was secretly happy in his heart, and saw two generals rushing out behind Cao Jun, one of them was Zhang He, and the person next to him was young, with a square face and a resolute face. Seeing that Cao's army couldn't stop retreating, the young general immediately drew his sword and killed a retreating captain, and said loudly: "General Xiahou is dead. We should serve General Zhang as the main general, work hard to kill the enemy, report to the great grace of the King of Wei, report the revenge of General Xiahou, and then those who retreat will be beheaded. ”

Zhang He also killed a person on the side and shouted: "We swear to live and die with this mountain." Kill one enemy, reward one silk; Backwards, left and right. The Cao soldiers then shouted, and turned back to kill. The terrain of this mountain was extremely difficult to attack, and if it weren't for Cao's army taking the initiative to retreat just now, it would not have been able to break through the defensive line at all. Now Cao Jun has no way to retreat, desperately holding on, Gao Ping led people to clash several times, but he couldn't take another half a step.

Zhao Shu had already remembered that the young general was Guo Huai, the famous general of Cao Wei who later confronted Jiang Wei, because he saw that the soldiers were killed and wounded too much, so he ordered the troops to be withdrawn. Zhang Fei was extremely reluctant, and strongly persuaded: "This mountain can be broken overnight, why did Mr. withdraw the troops?" Zhao Shu looked at the brutal battle formation in front of him and replied: "Such an attack will cost the lives of the soldiers, even if we can break through this mountain, our army will have to pay a great price." Zhang Fei disagreed, and said: "General Gao's subordinates are all Cao Ying's new soldiers, what is the pity of dying?" Zhao Shu was immediately displeased, even if he was a newcomer, he was born to his parents, could he be inferior to Zhang Fei's subordinates? Zhengse said: "Since surrender is the lord's subordinates, why did the general say this?" Zhang Fei snorted heavily and said, "I'm afraid it's Mr.'s subordinates, right?" ”

Zhao Shu was suddenly shocked, it turned out that Zhang Fei was dissatisfied with himself, not because Gao Ping had made more contributions than him, but because he let Gao Ping lead the Cao clan to surrender, isn't this expanding his own power again? Although Zhao Shu has no such intention, even Zhang Fei's brain can look at it like this, what should others think when they see it? Zhao Shu felt that his head was as big as a fight, and he no longer paid attention to Zhang Fei, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. After Gao Ping personally broke off, the army slowly retreated.

Back in the camp, Zhao Shu ordered someone to send Xiahou Yuan's head to Liu Bei, and sent the generals to ask for merit one by one. Just now he and Zhang Fei were displeased, and Ma Chao was injured again, so he was cold and deserted in the military tent, and only explained a few words casually, so that everyone could guard the barracks, and then got up and went back to his tent.

walked into the tent, but saw Guan Feng and Rong'er were there, and they talked very happily. Zhao Shu also put Zhang Fei's words behind him for the time being, and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about, you are so happy?" Guan Feng said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Gao made meritorious contributions, and we are all happy for him." Zhao Shu also nodded and said, "I have already sent someone to tell the lord that he will be rewarded one day." Rong'er asked, "Why don't you see you holding a banquet for Big Brother Gao to celebrate?" ”

Zhang Fei was already so displeased, where did Zhao Shu dare to mention the celebration? But he couldn't say anything to the two, so he had to deduce: "I am tired of fighting today, and I have forgotten about it." Rong'er didn't doubt him, so she smiled: "It's okay." I'll go and invite Big Brother Gao to come, how about the three of us celebrate him? With that, he ran out.

"No." Zhao Shu hurriedly shouted to stop, but his voice couldn't help but be a little louder, and when he saw that the two of them looked surprised, he hurriedly explained: "Brother Gao has worked hard to fight, let him rest now." The celebration will be talked about another day. Seeing that Rong'er was still a little displeased, Zhao Shu stepped forward and said softly: "Go get some wine and food, I'm already very hungry." Rong'er nodded silently.

Guan Feng knew that Zhao Shu must have something else in his heart, and waited for Rong'er to go out before asking, "What's the trouble?" Zhao Shu slapped his waist and said, "A few days ago, I assigned the soldiers who descended from Tiandang to be led by Big Brother Gao. This was an unintentional move, but it made General Zhang misunderstand. With that, he sighed and sat down.

Guan Feng walked behind him, gently kneaded his shoulders, and said, "You often don't think things through. Brother Gao was introduced by you, and your uncle has never even met in person, how can he casually grant military power? Zhao Shu smiled bitterly: "The soldiers and horses here were originally under the command of General Zhang, and most of Meng Qi's subordinates were cavalry. Everything that came down was a pawn, and I naturally thought of letting Big Brother Gao take the lead. Moreover, let Brother Gao lead the army, isn't it just another tiger general for the lord? Guan Feng chuckled and said, "I'm afraid that everyone else will take you another tiger general for yourself." ”

"So how dare I invite Big Brother Gao over again to celebrate his achievements alone?" Not long after Zhao Shu's words fell, he saw Rong'er entering with wine and food. Guan Feng was also busy helping her put the wine and food away, and then the three of them ate it together.

After using it, Zhao Shu saw that Rong'er had been displeased, and said: "Rong'er, I am also inconvenient in the camp." Don't mind what happened just now. Rong'er nodded, but did not speak. Zhao Shu took her hand and said, "Brother Gao is your brother, that is, my brother." His strategy is unartistic, I admire it very much, and there is absolutely no disrespect. ”

Rong'er's face turned red, she withdrew her hand, and said in a low voice: "Sister Feng is still here, and she is not afraid of being laughed at." ”

"What is she laughing at?" Zhao Shu pulled Rong'er with one hand, and went to pull Guan Feng with the other, and put the four hands together. Seeing that the two girls bowed their heads and were silent, Zhao Shu was overjoyed, this is the so-called blessing of Qi people.

There are still many military horses on Dingjun Mountain, Zhang He, and Guo Huai are also famous generals of the Cao Army. Zhao Shu cherished the lives of his soldiers and always refused to listen to Zhang Fei's advice to attack. The army has been stationed at the foot of the mountain, and Ma Chao and Gao Ping are sent every day, and Gao Ping and the two take turns to lead the troops to patrol the road to Nanzheng. As long as Dingjun Mountain does not send a grain of grain to Nanzheng Chengzhong, Zhao Shu can be regarded as a complete merit. Zhang He, Guo Huai saw that Cao's army was defeated for several days, and Xiahou Yuan was also dead, their morale was low, and they did not dare to act rashly, so they had to strictly guard the passes everywhere, so the two armies held each other for several days.
