Zhao Shu returned to the hall again, and everyone was still drinking. Guan Xing was slightly surprised when he saw Zhao Shu coming back, and stepped forward to pull Zhao Shu and said, "Sir, let's go, drink him another three hundred cups." ”

Zhao Shu hurriedly shirked and said: "I can't drink enough, so I'm going to leave." "It's not loud, but Guan Yu should be able to hear it. Guan Yu also got up and said, "In this way, Mr. will rest in the mansion." An Guo, send Mr. down to rest. ”

"Don't work for the prince." Zhao Shu rejected Guan Yu's kindness and said: "The big war is coming, and the army cannot be left without an owner." Shu should go back to the camp and rest. He stopped talking and turned to go out. Yu Ban, Huan Yi, and Ma Jian also got up to say goodbye.

Early the next morning, Guan Xing was ordered to come to Zhao Shu to discuss a plan to break the enemy. Why doesn't Zhao Shu want to break the enemy? Jingzhou, Nanjun are lost, Xiangyang projectile land, if the grain and grass are sufficient, it is okay to hold on, if you want to counterattack Jingzhou, how easy is it to talk about?

Zhao Shu hurriedly had some breakfast, called Yu Ban, Huan Yi, and Ma Jian to Guan Yu's mansion again. Mi Fang and Fu Shiren are both strictly guarded, and these two people know that they are guilty, but they are also honest.

When I came to the hall, it was already full. However, Guan Ping, Zhou Cang and others are all brave husbands, Ma Liang, Yi and others are good at internal affairs, and when it comes to how to retreat from the enemy, they talk nonsense, but they have no good strategy.

Seeing Zhao Shu and the other four people entering, everyone was silent. Guan Yu gestured to invite Zhao Shu to take a seat, and asked, "Mr. is like a god with soldiers, I don't know if there is a good way to take back Jingzhou?" ”

Guan Yu became more and more polite to Zhao Shu when he met this time, and he must have known that he had committed a big crime by losing Jingzhou. Zhao Shu bowed slightly and asked, "I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in the city now?" How long will it take to get enough food and grass? ”

Guan Yu replied: "But there are still 15,000 soldiers and horses, and there is ,,,,, grain and grass," but glanced at Ma Liang. Ma Liang got up and said, "It can last for a month." ”

Zhao Shu said: "When Shu raised troops in Shangyong, he asked Chengdu for help. It's just that there has never been the slightest news until now, Shu Shangyong has no more than 10,000 soldiers, how can a mere soldier help the prince and marquis break the enemy? Zhao Shu bit the word "help" into an accent.

Guan Yu also understood what Zhao Shu meant, turned his head to Guan Xing and said, "An Guo, take my seal letter and sword." After a while, I saw Guan Xing coming up with Guan Yu's former general Jin Yin and a sword.

Guan Yu got up and took the sword seal and said to me, "Sir, please take a seat." ”

"Don't dare." Zhao Shu stood up and saluted, and said, "The prince is here, Shu doesn't dare to take a seat." ”

Guan Yu's face sank and said, "What does Mr. mean by this?" ”

Zhao Shu didn't answer his question, and changed his words: "Junhou Jingzhou was defeated, Xiangyang was besieged, and it took months to get tired, but Chengdu still didn't send a single soldier. Should the prince send someone for help again? ”

"Yes." Guan Yu nodded and said, "So please ask Ji Chang to go to Chengdu." ”

Ma Liang got up and said, "Xiaguan will go and prepare." ”

Zhao Shu coughed and said: "The two rivers have been decided, the people's hearts are unstable, and the king should not raise soldiers and horses again." The marquis of Wu and the king have formed an alliance, and now they are contrary to each other for no reason, and they should be punished for righteousness. See what he has to say. ”

Guan Yutie's face turned blue and said angrily: "Sir, what are these words?" ”

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Shu is in Shangyong's early revision of General Zhang, and General Wei went to Chengdu for help." There is still no news now, and Ji Chang is in a humble position, so I am afraid that he will not succeed. ”

Guan Yu hesitated: "I don't know who Mr. thinks is it better to go?" ”

Zhao Shu Zhengse said: "Shu Dang went in person, tried his best to maneuver, and hoped that the king would remember the feelings of righteousness and send troops to rescue the prince." It's just that Shu is credulous and trusts Gao Ping, so that the Marquis of Jing falls, and the king may not listen. ”

Guan Yu glanced at Zhao Shu and said coldly: "Mr. understands." Please also take a seat, sir. ”

Zhao Shu no longer shirked, and sat down in the center. Seeing Guan Yu handing over the sword seal to Zhao Shu, he said loudly: "I will immediately set off to Chengdu to move troops, and Jingzhou's affairs will be handled by Mr. Mr. Wang, don't live up to the king of Hanzhong and a certain trust. ”

Zhao Shu hurriedly got up, took it with both hands, and said, "Shu dare not do his best?" ”

Guan Yu turned to Jingzhou's group of civil and military officers again, and said, "You must do your best to wait for my army to come." ”

"Yes." All the generals stood up and agreed. Zhao Shu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally drove Guan Yu away.

On the same day, Guan Yu and Ma Liang left Xiangyang with their families. Zhao Shu also took his seal sword and was promoted to a general in the army, and the generals of Jingzhou came to pay their respects under the leadership of Guan Ping.

Zhao Shu said good words to appease for a while, and then asked: "Lu Meng's army is thirty miles outside the city, I don't know if the generals have a strategy to break the enemy?" ”

Guan Ping came out and said: "Everything is under the orders of Mr., but my father went to Chengdu for help." In Ping's humble opinion, our army should only hold on tightly and wait for reinforcements. ”

Zhao Shu looked at the generals in Jingzhou and asked with a smile: "The generals all mean this?" ”

Zhou Cang stepped forward and said: "I am outnumbered, and it is appropriate to hold on and wait for help." ”

"Okay." Zhao Shu got up and said, "Since all the generals have this intention, they can't stick to it." Zhao Shu shouted to Ma Jian and said, "I heard that Sun Quan is in Jingzhou, and you can often go to ask about the sneak attack on Jingzhou." See how Sun Quan answers. ”

"Yes." Ma Tan was supposed to return to Chengdu to resume his life, but Zhao Shu saw that he knew the military plane, so he stayed in front of the army and listened to it. At this time, when he heard the order, he glanced at Zhao Shu, and he was quite puzzled, and said, "I'll go down and prepare." ”

"Wait." Zhao Shu looked at Guan Ping and said, "Lu Meng's army horse is close to the left, and I am afraid that it will attack at any time." It is important for the major general and the generals to inspect the city. Guan Ping and everyone bowed to Zhao Shu and turned around together.

Ma Jian then asked: "I don't know what Mr. has to do to Jingzhou?" ”

"** General affairs, do you know?"

"I've heard a little bit about it these days." Ma Jian then said: "Mr. wants to report this matter to Sun Quan?" make its kings and ministers suspicious. ”

"Not bad." Zhao Shu nodded and said, "In the past two days, I have asked Mi Fang and the others. In the past few days, although the Wu army was defeated, all the losses were Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and others. Lu Meng, Gao Ping's department did not have much loss. As long as there is a hint of this, Sun Quan should also understand. ** The matter, and then a letter from Huan Yixiu, and then Mi, Fu and Fu testified, although they did not believe it all, they would eventually be suspicious. ”

"What the gentleman said." Ma Jian said: "The army of Lü Meng is coming, Jingzhou is empty, and there is Mi, Fu and others are the internal response, and they must win." Sun Quan worked tirelessly and came to Jingzhou in person, I am afraid that he was already suspicious of Lu Ziming. ”

Zhao Shu thought about it carefully, Lu Meng died early, and Lu Xun later took power, and he was indeed suspicious of Sun Quan and died of depression. It seems that those who are feudal monarchs are all this virtue, Zhao Shu smiled: "It's still young and eloquent." ”

Ma Jian hurriedly thanked him. Zhao Shu said again: "This is one of them." When he went to Jingzhou, he often had to spread the news, saying that the soldiers in Jingzhou were killed and wounded, and Lu Mengkeng killed and surrendered the soldiers, so as to arouse the hostility of the people of Jingzhou. After the envoy returned to the camp, he spread the news among the Jingzhou army and horses, saying that the Wu army was burning, killing and looting in Jingzhou, and doing all kinds of evil. When the time comes, Guan Ping and the generals of Jingzhou will not be able to fight. ”
