Zhao Shu watched Liu Bei personally send the general flag, and knew that he would let himself attack Shangyong again, and couldn't help but peek at Kong Ming and Fa Zheng, thinking that Liu Bei really only believed in himself now? Liu Bei couldn't see Zhao Shu's expression, so he said: "I personally prepared this flag for Jingwei." Wangjingwei opened the banner victoriously and took down Shangyong County. ”

Zhao Shu had no choice but to get up and thank him, but he thought that Liu Bei let himself lead the troops into battle with such fanfare, how could he explain to Sun Quan of Eastern Wu? I couldn't help asking: "After days of fighting, Shu Du took the banner of General Zhang." Now that he is under the banner, he is only afraid of Cao Cao, and Sun Quan learned that Shu was in the main army. Liu Bei slowly drank a glass of wine and said: "I was about to let Cao Thief know the prestige of Jingwei, as for the ...... of Dongwu" He snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "The army led by Lu Ziming has been broken by Zhang Liao and returned to Shouchun." I don't have to expect Sun Quan to send troops to attack Cao Thief. ”

Zhao Shu was surprised, Lu Meng was a famous general of Eastern Wu, and the Wu army was far more than Zhang Liao's soldiers, why did he fail again? No wonder Liu Bei was unhappy and no longer saved face for Sun Quan. Zhao Shu thought of Wancheng Sima again, and hurriedly said: "Could it be that Wancheng Sima Yi sent troops to help, so that Lu Dudu was defeated and retreated?" Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Sima Yi has an army of 100,000 in Wancheng, but he only said that the grain and grass are not ready, and he did not send troops to support Fancheng and Runan. Then he smiled and said, "This person has a bad heart, why did Cao Cao use him to lead the troops?" ”

Zhao Shu naturally knew that Cao Cao was letting Xu Shu and Sima Yi take charge of the army together, and the original intention was to contain each other, but he didn't want Sima Yi to be ruthless, so he used Xu Shu to rebel and kill him and take sole control of the army. Thinking of Xu Shu and the others, Zhao Shu couldn't help but feel gloomy, they were all murdered in order to save themselves.

Liu Bei also saw that Zhao Shu looked sad, so he asked why. Listening to Zhao Shu's truthful answer, Liu Bei couldn't help but think of Xu Shu, the two had a good relationship, and they also sighed with Zhao Shu. Kong Ming was beside him, and when he saw the two of them like this, he raised his glass and said: "If Jingwei can break through the mediocrity, and then capture Fancheng with General Guan and enter Wan in the north, Luo Ze can avenge this great revenge for Yuan Zhi." ”

Zhao Shu suddenly realized that Liu Bei not only wanted to capture Shangyong, but also to help Guan Yu go north. When it comes to cooperating with Guan Yu, Kong Ming and Fa Zheng are not suitable, but only Zhao Shu can fight with Guan Yu because of Guan Feng's involvement, and there are few mistakes. It's no wonder that everyone in Liu Bei's camp doesn't need it, and they only want him to attack Shangyong. So Zhao Shu also raised his glass and thanked: "Thank you for the auspicious words of the military advisor, Shu will live up to the trust of the lord." ”

Liu Bei also accompanied him for a drink, and then asked Zhao Shu how many people he needed to attack Shangyong. Zhao Shu bowed his head and calculated silently, although Shangyong did not have many soldiers and horses, Cao Hong had 50,000 troops and horses stationed in Hanshui. He was about to speak, but Fa Zheng said first: "Why do you need how many soldiers and horses does Shangyong Mountain City need?" There is Gao, Guo and the two generals help each other, and the lord can allocate another 10,000 horses. ”

Gao Ping's subordinates only had more than 10,000 soldiers, Guo Huai surrendered alone and had no soldiers and horses, and Liu Bei gave another 10,000, but only 20,000. Cao Hong had an army of 50,000 and was blocked by the Han River. Isn't it clear that the Fa Zheng said that he wants to look good? Zhao Shu glared at him fiercely, it seems that the limelight has been too revealing recently, and the other party has shifted his eyes to himself.

Liu Bei nodded slightly and said, "Cao Cao's army is here, the third brother, and Meng Qi will resist the enemy here." It is true that there is no more division of soldiers and horses and warp and weft, so Feng'er will lead 10,000 military horses and go with warp and weft. Zhao Shu was very dissatisfied, so he wanted to ask for more soldiers and horses, but when he saw Guo Huai privately glancing at him, he had to agree to receive the order.

The banquet dispersed, and Zhao Shu returned to the camp, thinking about how to break Cao Hong's 50,000 with 20,000 soldiers and horses. Guo Huai asked to see him outside, Zhao Shuzheng had doubts, hurriedly invited in, and hurriedly asked: "During the banquet, Bo Ji glanced at Wulian, I don't know what the intention is?" Guo Huai saw that there was no one left and right, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Huaiguan wants to ask for more soldiers and horses, but he knows that Mr. can't ask for it, so he stops him." ”

Zhao Shu didn't believe it, and asked, "Why does Bo Ji know what I want but can't be?" Guo Huai looked left and right again, and whispered: "Mr. thinks that Fa Zheng wants to go to Mr. Soldiers?" Zhao Shu thought about it carefully, and during the banquet, it was Liu Bei who first asked him the question of soldiers and horses, and unconsciously replied: "Is it the lord?" Guo Huai saw that he had thought it through, so he smiled and said, "Mr. is a smart man, Huai Zi doesn't need to say much." Those who come to be kings will be impermanent soldiers, and soldiers will be impermanent generals. Mr. and General Zhang and General Ma have been fighting hand in hand for many days, how can the lord let Mr. and the two of them together? As for General Gao, Mr. and his husband are old cronies, and the lord can't be forcibly transferred. The army and horses of Mr. Xiang were called, but they were led by a major general. Don't you understand the meaning? ”

This remark made Zhao Shu suddenly brightened, and he thought that Liu Bei would trust him, but how did he know that he was guarding against his subordinates all the time, and he was the same as Fa Zheng and Kong Ming. It's just that Cao Hong's 50,000 troops are stationed in Hanshui, occupying all the geographical advantages, and there are many military horses, how can a mere 20,000 horses be broken? Guo Huai saw that his face was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "There are not many soldiers, just look at how the generals are dispatched, 20,000 soldiers and horses may not be able to defeat the enemy 50,000." ”

Zhao Shu saw that Guo Huai Chengzhu was in his chest, so he asked, "What trick does Bo Ji have to teach me?" Guo Ji smiled and took out the map of Hanzhong and pointed: "Cao Zilian is cautious in using his troops, and he heard that the army of the King of Wei has retreated to the valley, as long as General Gao is asked to take some military horses, go to the Hanshui and Cao Hong across the bank with great fanfare, and make an offensive momentum, he will not dare to act rashly." Mr. and Huai led the military horses to take Shangyong, forgive this small city, why be afraid? ”

Cao Hong has always adhered to the principle of adherence in the Hanzhong War, and now that Cao Cao has withdrawn from the army, as long as Gao Ping's momentum is enough, he will not dare to fight. At that moment, Zhao Shu and Guo Huai discussed it again, and it was appropriate. Seeing that it was getting late, Guo Huai got up to say goodbye. Zhao Shu sent it to the door, Guo Huai turned around and said: "The ancient factions are constantly fighting, and the descendants and side generals under the King of Wei, and the sons under his knees are also very strong in fighting for the heir. He glanced at Zhao Shu again and said: "Sima Yi can finally hold the military power, but he can endure it, and he will secretly recruit talents without showing his edge, and once he has the opportunity, he will make great progress." ”

Zhao Shu also looked at the other party, his face was solemn, he shook his head to the ground, and said, "Shu is taught." Guo Huai laughed and said, "Mr. is polite." Huai has to live first, and everyone in the army ignores Huai and Mr. as a family, and his fate is closely related to Mr. Then he turned and left. Zhao Shu looked at Guo Huai's back, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Liu Bei's factions were fighting, and even a newly descended person could actually see it.
