Fa Zheng saw that Liu Bei secretly summoned Zhao Shu back to Nanzheng, and knew that Hanzhong Taishou would definitely not fall on Li Yan again, and since this was the case, he couldn't let Kong Ming and Zhao Shu take advantage, so he got up first and said: "Hanzhong is the gateway to Xichuan, and it is very important. It must be guarded by someone who can be trusted by the Lord, and I think that it must be the three generals. Immediately, many people chimed in. Liu Bei said with a smile: "Filial piety is wrong. Everyone here thinks that I am a confidant, do you just believe in the third brother? ”

Fa Zheng consciously lost his words, and hurriedly said: "It's a gaffe." However, the three generals will do their best to care about the feelings of righteousness, and they will be famous all over the world, and they will be defeated several times, which is enough to make Cao thief discouraged, and it is really the best choice to guard Hanzhong. Kong Ming also slowly got up and said: "The words of filial piety are very good, why don't you follow it?" ”

Liu Bei nodded slightly, noncommittal, and asked Zhao Shudao: "What does Jingwei think?" Zhao Shu knew that he still let himself tell Wei Yan in person, increasing the contradiction between Kong Ming and Fa Zheng and himself. But now that the two of them are protecting Zhang Fei, Zhao Shu will recommend others again, wouldn't he be offended along with Zhang Fei. Seeing that Wei Yan couldn't help but glance at himself, Zhao Shu didn't want to offend everyone in his heart, so he had to get up and say: "The Lord's ability to know people is far beyond Shu's ability." The lord must have a suitable candidate in his heart, and he does not dare to speculate. ”

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Didn't Jingwei raise one person to me last night?" I thought this man was good enough to take on this task. Without waiting for everyone to speak again, he said loudly: "Wen Chang." Wei Yan couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, glanced at Zhao Shu gratefully, and then came out in response and knelt in front of him.

Liu Bei looked at the surprised crowd in the seat, and asked again: "If I guard Hanzhong with Wenchang, what should you do?" Wei Yanzheng said proudly: "If Cao Cao comes from all over the world, please refuse it for the lord; If you want to send 100,000 people, please swallow them for the Lord. Sure enough, he was full of pride, although Zhao Shu knew that Wei Yan had said this, but now that he heard him say it with his own ears, it was different, and he couldn't help but be passionate in his heart. Everyone was not only shocked by Liu Bei's decision, but also surprised by Wei Yan's proud words, and suddenly the audience was silent.

"Great!" Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Wen Chang's words are amazing, and he will not disappoint me." Then he said: "I have made up my mind, so I will lead the ...... with the chief of the text."

"Please think twice, my lord." Kong Ming interrupted Liu Bei and persuaded again: "Although General Wei is a general, he is not as brave as Zilong, not as wise as Zhengfang, and even less powerful than the three generals in the army. I am afraid that it is inappropriate to take this as a guide. Wei Yan looked displeased, and said loudly: "Since following the lord, he has fought dozens of battles and has made a wide range of achievements. How can you not keep the land of Hanzhong? ”

Zhao Shu also felt slightly wrong in his heart, Kong Ming has always been cautious in his words and deeds, but why did he have to get along with Wei Yan today? Seeing that Kong Ming was still about to be persuaded, Liu Bei said first: "The military advisor doesn't need to say anything. I decided early, so I led the Hanzhong Taishou with the Wen Chang, stationed in Nanzheng, and the governor of Zhulu military horses to prevent Cao Cao. ”

Seeing Liu Bei's resolute tone, everyone stopped talking. Liu Bei said again: "The mediocre land, it must also be guarded." General Gao. Gao Ping got up and replied, "The last will be." Liu Bei said: "Jingwei and I will return to Chengdu to take up a post." The general is too guarded by Shangyong, and Feng'er patrols Shangyong, Fangling and other places? Zhao Shu was very happy in his heart, what could he be afraid of if he separated Gao Ping from Rong'er like this?

Gao Ping said: "The last general has just come and got this important position." I'm afraid you won't accept it. Liu Bei said with a smile: "The general has a great merit of beheading Xiahou Yuan, who is not convinced?" Gao Ping still said: "This is all Mr. Zhao's clever plan, not the work of the last general." I hope that the lord will take back his life. Liu Bei was displeased, and asked in a deep voice: "The general is unwilling to be subservient, but what is his intention?" Gao Ping ignored Liu Bei's face and replied, "The last general will not dare." It's just that the last general is shallow in virtue, and he is willing to follow Mr. Zhao around and listen to the teachings day and night. Liu Bei's color changed suddenly, and he got up and said coldly: "Since the general insists on refusing, I will give up." And he went in.

Seeing Liu Bei leaving, everyone also dispersed one after another. Kong Ming walked up to Zhao Shu and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Jingwei." Zhao Shu knew that today's events displeased him, and hurriedly said: "How happy is Shu?" ”

"General Wei has to defend Hanzhong, and General Gao is the superior, isn't it all what Jingwei wants?" Kong Ming glanced at Gao Ping again, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that General Gao has lived up to Jingwei's good intentions." He laughed and walked away. Zhao Shu also looked at Gao Ping, not knowing what to say, and said secretly: You don't want to go to Shangyong, it's not impossible to be willing to follow Rong'er, but why do you have to say that you want to follow me? The local general is not appropriate, if you have to be my follower, what will Liu Bei think?

Gao Ping saw that Zhao Shu was staring at him but did not speak, and he also knew that he had a complaint in his heart, but he deliberately did not know, and asked, "Sir, do you have something to say?" "Zhao Shu has something to say, but how can he say it? Hurriedly shook his head, said goodbye to him and turned back to his house.

Back in the room, Rong'er waited, and when she saw that Zhao Shu's face was not good, she asked with a smile, "Who offended you?" Get angry in front of me. Zhao Shu looked at Rong'er carefully, such a stunning posture would be heartwarming if it was a man, no wonder Gao Ping was so affectionate. stepped forward to hug her in his arms, Zhao Shu smiled again: "Brother Gao is also interested in you?" Rong'er was ashamed and said in a low voice: "What's the matter?" Don't talk nonsense. ”

Zhao Shu deliberately sank his face and said angrily: "Then why did he come to you from Shangyong?" Seeing that Zhao Shu was angry, Rong'er panicked in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Didn't he say he came to you?" Zhao Shu pinched the tip of her playful nose and said with a smile: "I don't believe this." Tell me honestly, did Big Brother Gao come to see you? Rong'er was relieved to see that he was deliberately pretending to be angry, and said with a smile: "So what?" You have to be kind to me in the future. Zhao Shu "hehe" smiled: "When did I treat you badly?" Without waiting for Rong'er to speak again, she quickly sealed her lips.

Just as Zhao Shu was carefully tasting this sweet taste, he heard Guan Feng's voice again: "The sky is blue and the sky is white, the door is not closed, what are you doing here?" Rong'er hurriedly pushed Zhao Shu away and said in a low voice: "I still have some things, go back first." "Hurriedly ran out. Guan Feng looked at Zhao Shu with a smile and asked, "You hate me in your heart, right?" Zhao Shu rubbed his hands lightly and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's still there anyway." Guan Feng saw that he was forced forward, hurriedly retreated a few steps, and said, "It's General Wei who is outside to ask for a meeting, otherwise I wouldn't be too lazy to be this wicked person." ”

When Zhao Shu heard that Wei Yan had come to visit, he was in no mood to laugh, so he had to say, "Please let him in." ”
