For several days, everyone was only concerned about the incessant attack of the Cao army, and worried about when the Yangping Pass would be broken. Zhao Shu also forgot to laugh with the second daughter, and now that he had a rare opportunity, he pulled Guan Feng to make fun of him. Rong'er was embarrassed when she saw Guan Feng on the side, and she also joined in the fun: "I originally wanted to tidy up the bedding for my husband, but now I have to let my sister do it for me." Guan Feng was even more shy, hurriedly retracted his hand, and said, "The two of you still have the heart to laugh now." "Pile up and run away. Zhao Shu looked at Rong'er with a smile again, and the latter only stuck out his tongue at him, and ran away.

Zhao Shu is now empty-handed, and he can only enter the tent alone to rest. I didn't dare to close my eyes all night last night, and now Zhao Shu really just wants to find a place to sleep comfortably, and he doesn't take off his clothes and armor, and just lies down and sleeps. Before he closed his eyes, a voice from outside the tent said, "Sir, Mr. Ma asks to see him on the orders of the lord." ”

Ma Tan is here? Zhao Shu suddenly fell asleep, and he would bring some news of Liu Bei's reinforcements, so he hurriedly jumped up, and when he came out of the account, he saw Ma Tan standing aside, and hurriedly asked, "When will the reinforcements from the Lord arrive?" Ma Tan saluted Zhao Shu first, and then said unhurriedly: "The lord did not send reinforcements here. ”

Zhao Shu suddenly fell into an ice cellar like a dog day, so Liu Bei didn't want to abandon himself, but there was also Zhang Fei, his third brother. Seeing that his face was different, Ma Yan still smiled and said, "You can enter the account first, and the lower official will come slowly." Zhao Shu had no choice but to invite him into the account, and as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask, "Why didn't the lord send reinforcements?" Cao Cao's army of more than 100,000 attacked day after day, and Yangping was about to be broken. Isn't the lord Mo ......" Originally, he wanted to say, "Don't you want to put Shu equal to death?" Later, I thought that these words were so disrespectful, and I finally forcibly held back. Ma Tan still said calmly: "Mr. Shao'an is not impatient, although the lord did not send an army to rescue, but after Cao Cao's army left Nanzheng, he stormed Nanzheng to relieve the siege for Mr. ”

"Nanzheng is guard......ed by the Xiahou Dun army," Zhao Shu suddenly remembered the team of Cao Ying carrying the Xiahou banner yesterday, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that the lord has already broken through Nanzheng?" Ma Tan nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly." There was a shortage of food in the city of Nanzheng, so Zhuge Junshi lured Xiahoudun out of the city with grain and grass and took the opportunity to capture Nanzheng. Zhao Shu was suddenly overjoyed, and the siege of Yangping Pass would also be resolved, but he suddenly got up and said, "It's not good, Cao Jun retreated." So he stopped talking to Ma Yan, and hurried to the gate.

Ma Chao saw that he was gone and returned, and he was in a hurry, and he said in his heart that something important had happened, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why is Mr. here again?" Zhao Shu hurriedly said: "Quickly send a detective to go down to the pass to investigate Cao Ying's movements." Seeing his look, Ma Chao didn't dare to ask any more, and hurriedly went to punish people. Zhang Fei was surprised and asked, "What's wrong?" Zhao Shu looked at Cao's army camp from afar, but still didn't see any movement, but said: "The lord and Kong Ming have captured Nanzheng, and yesterday Xiahou Dun's department was not a reinforcement, but a defeated army in Nanzheng." After Zhang Fei heard this, he also said hurriedly: "Cao thief will retreat." And he went down.

Zhao Shu only thought about how Cao Jun was doing, and didn't care what Zhang Fei was doing. After a while, Ma Chao came up to report: "Sir, Cao Junzhai is empty, and somehow he retreated." Zhao Shu breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally broke the siege, and almost had a warm hug with Ma Chao. But suddenly heard the movement of the military horses, Zhao Shu turned his eyes to look, and Zhang Fei was about to leave the customs with the soldiers and horses, and secretly screamed that it was not good, so he hurriedly went down the customs and stopped in front of Zhang Feima.

Zhang Fei saw Zhao Shu coming and asked, "Why did Mr. block me from going?" Zhao Shu knew that he was going to pursue Cao's army, so he persuaded: "Cao Cao's army retreats, and the elite soldiers must be left behind, and the generals must not rush to catch up." Zhang Fei disagreed, and said: "Nanzheng is lost, Cao Cao must retreat in a hurry, this is a good time to break the enemy." Although Ma Chao is less resourceful, he is not an impulsive and reckless person, and he also knows that Zhao Shu's words are reasonable, and he also persuaded: "The old thief is deeply skilled in the art of war, and it may be inconvenient for the general to go." Zhang Fei was able to work together with the two of them during the war, but now he seems arrogant and unreasonable, and he is very disgusted with Ma Chao who always obeys Li Lan's wishes, and said unhappily: "Cao Jun has been attacking for days, if he is allowed to retreat so easily today, how can he be worthy of his dead brother." The horse beat the horse and bypassed Zhao Shu and Ma Chao, and went straight out of the customs. Wu Ban, the deputy general behind him, glanced at Zhao Shu, but he didn't dare to disobey Zhang Fei's intentions, so he had to follow.

"Stop." Zhao Shu also suddenly shouted: "I am the chief general in the army appointed by the lord." If there is no order from me, those who dare to leave the pass without permission will be killed. The armies have been fighting hard for days, and today they can get more wine and fresh meat to work the army. In the past few days, Zhao Shu has also been forced to be angry, and now he is too lazy to talk to Zhang Fei about the truth, so he dropped these few words, and looked at Zhang Fei's reaction coldly. Zhang Fei's face turned red, looking at the frightened subordinates on the left and right, knowing that if he really forced himself out of the customs, it would be really difficult to explain, so he yelled violently and said, "Go back, get me back." The resentment in his heart could not be vented, and he lashed at the guards next to him.

The guard didn't dare to dodge, let alone beg for mercy, so he gritted his teeth and endured it, and suddenly beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead. Zhao Shuji couldn't bear it, hurriedly stepped forward, and said, "Zhang Fei, you stop for me." When Zhang Fei saw Zhao Shu calling him by his name, he was even angrier in his heart, and evil was born from the side of his guts, and he casually pulled Zhao Shu's head. The horse whip reached mid-air, but was grabbed by Ma Chao and shouted: "General Zhang is self-respecting." Zhang Fei was angry for a while, and now he was afraid that if he really hit Zhao Shu, not to mention that Ma Chao and the others would not rest with him, even when it came to the eldest brother Liu Bei, he couldn't afford to bear the guilt, so he threw the horsewhip at the moment, snorted and left.

Zhao Shu thanked Ma Chao, and hurriedly went to inspect the guard's injury, but when the man saw Zhao Shu passing, he hurriedly ran behind Zhang Fei. Zhao Shu didn't see him with a look of panic, and said that he was very afraid of Zhang Fei, so he had to give up, and went back to the camp with Ma Chao hand in hand to rest.

Now that Cao Jun has broken the siege, Zhao Shu has no worries in his heart, so he asks people to settle down and fall asleep, so as to eliminate all the fatigue of the past few days. When he woke up, the lamp in the tent was already in hand, Zhao Shu saw Rong'er sitting next to him staring at him, and listened to the noise outside, so he asked, "Why is it so noisy outside?" Seeing him wake up, Rong'er hurriedly handed over the wet towel and said with a smile: "Didn't you order the labor army?" Zhao Shucai remembered that it was indeed his own order, anyway, these soldiers fought for days, and they should relax for a while, so they didn't ask more.
