Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Shu saw that the two of them were struggling to support each other, and he was afraid that Gao Ping would lose, so he immediately stepped forward and said: "The two generals are resting less, it is not early today, it is better to go back to nutrition and recuperate, how about dividing the next day?" When the two of them heard this, they each gathered their weapons and retreated, both panting like cattle and sweating like rain. Yu Ban was surprised by Gao Ping's martial arts, and also stepped forward and said, "Who is this general?" The marksmanship is so exquisite. ”

Gao Ping raised his head and said: "A certain is the king of Hanzhong who drove the Fenwei general Gao Ping." Yu Ban asked in a lost voice: "Could it be that you are the one who beheaded General Xiahou?" Gao Ping replied proudly: "Exactly." If you do not retreat, you shall be beheaded in the coming day. Pound was furious when he heard this, so he stepped forward and continued to tear and kill. Yu Ban hurriedly stopped him, and said: "The general is brave, and he will take revenge on Xiahou Miaocai in the future." He turned to Zhao Shu and said, "Sir, go back to the camp to rest." ”

So the two sides collected their troops, Zhao Shu and Gao Ping returned to the tent, and the sergeants served meals. Gao Ping and Pang De fought a lot, and they devoured it immediately. Zhao Shu also used some casually, thinking back to today's battle between the two, he couldn't help but sigh: "Pang De is really the tiger general of the world." Gao Ping also put down the dishes and chopsticks when he heard this, and said: "It is indeed a fierce rival in a certain life." Guan Feng listened to the two of them praise Pang De's bravery, and said: "Pang De's late lord General Ma is now in Chengdu, and his brother Pang Rou often accompanies his uncle. It is better to send someone back to Chengdu and invite the two of them to come to Fancheng or repair the book to come and surrender. Wouldn't it be wonderful to go to a strong enemy and add a tiger general? ”

Zhao Shu knew that Pang De had no intention of surrendering, but he liked his bravery very much, so he might as well be willing to try, so he asked Rong'er to prepare pen and ink, write the original story clearly, and send someone to Chengdu. Everything was in order, and it was late at night, so they went back to their tents to rest. Early the next morning, Pound really led the army and horses to challenge at the bottom of the mountain. Zhao Shu climbed high and looked down the mountain, and saw that Cao Jun had really set up the camp at the foot of the mountain, and secretly rejoiced in his heart; Raising his eyes, he suddenly saw that there was also a faint Cao Jun flag on the opposite mountain, and after a closer look, there was a handsome flag with the word "Yu" erected in the army. But it turned out that Yu Ban divided his troops and horses and stationed at the foot of the mountain with Pang De, but he was camping on the opposite side of the mountain, looking at Zhao Shu's army and horses. This made Zhao Shu busy, and he didn't know how to lead the forbidden army horses down the mountain, so that they were all drowned.

Gao Ping saw that Pang De was showing off his might at the bottom of the mountain, and he was angry in his heart, so he wanted to get on his horse and go down the mountain to face the battle. Zhao Shu hurriedly stopped, the two were on par with each other in martial arts, but they were afraid that if the two tigers competed, one would be injured. It is better to hold on to the mountain until the heavy rain pours down, and then it is not too late to flood the Seventh Army. How do you know that the two armies have been getting along for more than ten days, and the grain and grass in the camp are exhausted, but not a drop of rain has fallen. In the past ten days, Pang De has continued to challenge at the foot of the mountain, and Gao Ping has also asked for battle several times, but he has been stopped by Zhao Shu. Seeing that the grain and grass were almost exhausted, and Guan Yu's military horses were not moving, Zhao Shu knew that if he didn't send someone to ask for help, he would not send a single soldier to help.

On this day, Pound challenged again at the foot of the mountain early in the morning, and Gao Ping couldn't fight, so he returned to the camp to drink. Guan Feng saw that Zhao Shu had not fought for days, and knew that he was afraid that Shangyong's army and horses were not Cao's opponents, and that the grain and grass in the camp could only support for a few days, so he persuaded: "Why don't I go to my father's camp and ask my eldest brother to send troops?" She knew that Zhao Shu was unwilling to bow her head to Guan Yu, and deliberately said that she was Guan Ping. Zhao Shu smiled and said, "If the eldest brother has nothing to do with the general's order, how can he send troops without authorization?" Guan Feng knew that he was still vindictive, and hurriedly said: "Now there is no grain and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside." If you don't ask your father for help, you can break the enemy with two flanking attacks. You can't ignore the lives of these tens of thousands of soldiers because of anger. ”

Why didn't Zhao Shu pity the lives of the soldiers? It's just that now I go to Guan Yu for help, how can I look up in front of him in the future? Yu Ban, the bastard, left Guan Yu alone, but came here to spread wildness, which caught Zhao Shu by surprise; And this broke the sky, and there was not a drop of rain, which made him even more scolded. Bow your head to Guan Yu now, and everything will be constrained by Guan Yu in the future, which is also quite unfavorable to Zhao Shu. Kong Ming and Fa Zheng are all by Liu Bei's side, and they are leading the army outside, if they can't control Guan Yu, what else can they do under Liu Bei? What's more, Guo Huai is in Nanjun, knowing that he is in trouble, he will try to help. Zhao Shu also ignored Guan Feng's unhappy face, and replied: "The grain and grass in the army are still enough for a few days, and wait for two more days." ”

Guan Feng saw that he was determined and unwilling to ask Guan Yu for help, so he stomped out of the tent. Zhao Shu had no choice but to be helpless, Rong'er saw that he was upset in his heart, and suddenly said: "You have been ordered by the king of Hanzhong, you can send someone to Guan Yu's camp, not to ask for help, but to order him to send troops." "Guan Yu doesn't even have to obey Liu Bei's orders, what's the use of giving orders by himself? Zhao Shu shook his head and said, "If he can obey his orders, why should I come here to set up another camp?" ”

"Then you can't just sit back and wait." Rong Er said hurriedly: "I have to find a way to break the enemy." Zhao Shu immediately woke up, for several days, he had just pinned all his hopes on the weather, and now since God refused to help, he should find a way to break the enemy. Zhao Shu nodded and said: "In the past few days, Pang De has seen that I haven't been out for a day, and the soldiers have been relaxed. It's better to go down the mountain tonight to rob the camp, you go and call Brother Gao, and I'll talk to him again. Rong'er hurriedly agreed to go out.

After a short time, Gao Ping brought a few lieutenants into the account, and I heard that they went to rob the camp tonight, and all of them were gearing up, please be the front, it seems that they have really been suffocated in the past few days. At the moment, the plan has been decided, with Gao Ping as the front, and Zhao Shu himself led the army and horses to respond in the rear. It was the third watch of the night, and after the army was full, the people were grassy, the horses picked bells, and they went down the mountain together to rob the Pang De camp. Unexpectedly, when the military horse approached the Cao military camp, they heard a few drums, and there was a loud killing in the Cao camp. Zhao Shu suspected that it was a plan in the back, so he hurriedly ordered the men and horses to stop, and sent the sentry to the front to investigate.

After a while, the horse returned, but it was Guo Huai who led the army and horses to rob Pang De's camp at night, and Gao Ping had already joined forces with him, so he asked Zhao Shu to go and respond. Zhao Shu was overjoyed in his heart, Guo Huai really did not disappoint, and hurriedly urged the army and horses to move forward, all the way into Cao's military camp. Pang De saw that the Sichuan army had not been out for days, and had not been prepared at all, and was attacked by Gao Ping and Guo Huai before and after, and the army and horses were defeated, so he looked at the camp on the forbidden mountain and left. Gao Ping, Guo Huai's second general was reluctant, and led the army and horses to cover up and kill. At the foot of the opposite mountain, Yu Ban personally led the military horse to the rescue, and raised an arrow to hit Guo Huai's left arm.

Zhao Shu supervised the army behind, and ordered the sergeants to send the grain and grass escorted by Guo Huainan County up the mountain; On the other hand, he ordered the soldiers to set fire to the Pang De camp. Hearing that Guo Huai was injured, he hurriedly stepped forward to visit, but saw that he had already been rescued by Gao Ping. Guo Huai had already pulled out the arrow, the wound was bandaged, and when he saw Zhao Shu stepping forward, he hurriedly said: "Big brother, Yu Ban has already brought military horses to the rescue, and you can retreat quickly." ”
