Lin Yang was injured, so Zhao Shu left him to guard Nanjun. Zhao Shu himself took the military horse and set up camp under the city of Jingzhou. Although there are not many people, the momentum is very large. Zhao Shu thought that Lu Meng himself would not believe that Zhao Shu only had less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, so he let him lose consecutive battles and recover Nanjun.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Shu personally took Ma Tan, Guan Xing and other generals to the city and shouted: "The king of Hanzhong drove the general Zhao Shu of the military division, and asked Wu Hou to go out of the city to answer." ”

Sun Quan himself was already patrolling the city, and when he heard Zhao Shu shouting below, he took Gan Ning and the others out of the city. When Zhao Shu saw Sun Quan come out, he stepped forward and said, "Shu has seen Wu Hou." ”

Sun Quan nodded slightly, which was regarded as a return of the courtesy, and then said indifferently: "Mr. has won consecutive battles, and the king of Hanzhong will have a heavy reward." ”

"The food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king." Zhao Shu paused for a moment, and then said: "This is the righteousness of the lord and minister." ”

Sun Quan also blushed slightly when he heard the word "righteousness", and said: "In the past, the king of Hanzhong borrowed the Jingzhou dialect and returned to Eastern Wu after obtaining Xichuan. However, the king of Hanzhong had no intention of returning Hanzhong, so he had to order Lu Meng to take it personally. ”

"The land of the world is inhabited by the virtuous." Zhao Shu said with a smile: "The name of Wang Renyi in Hanzhong is known all over the world, and the people of Guanjun Hou Jiuzhen Jingxiang are all in their hearts. I'm afraid that Wu Hou De is thin and can't stay for a long time. ”

"Hmph." Sun Quan said unhappily: "Mr. is conceited." ”

Zhao Shu smiled again: "Wu Hou can compare with Lu Ziming with his own soldiers? ”

Sun Quan was silent, and Gan Ning asked sharply behind him, "Where is Governor Lu now?" ”

Zhao Shu waved back, and saw two soldiers escorting Lu Meng, who looked sluggish, to the front of the formation. Gan Ning was about to step forward, but Guan Xing slashed in front of Lu Meng and shouted, "Hugh has to step forward." ”

Gan Ning had no choice but to stop, Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng and asked, "What does Mr. want to do with Ziming?" ”

"Zhao Shu has never abused the Grand Governor." Zhao Shu looked at Lu Meng's appearance, secretly laughed in his heart, and said: "The governor is in the Shu camp, Shu is a good and delicious hospitality, but the governor has been restless for the past two days and has not slept for a moment. "I can stand it without eating for two or three days, I haven't slept for a few days, Zhao Shu thinks that Lu Meng can fall asleep standing now.

Although Sun Quan didn't understand this modern "torture", he also knew that it was uncomfortable when he saw Lu Meng's appearance, so he said: "Although Gu obtained Jingzhou, he took into account the friendship of the alliance, but he never hurt the king of Hanzhong. Why did Mr. treat Ziming like this? ”

"When the two armies fought, it was inevitable that there would be casualties. Wu Hou cherished the generals, and Shu couldn't bear to harm the governor of Lü. Zhao Shu paused for a moment and said lightly: "If Marquis Wu can get out of Jingzhou, Shu Dinggong will send the governor back to Wu." ”

It is understandable that Sun Quan is unwilling to exchange, as a subordinate, he naturally has to be loyal to the Lord. However, Sun Quan refused to rescue Lu Meng in front of the public, and he had to chill the generals behind him. At this time, it was time for Lu Meng to speak, but unfortunately he was now unconscious. Sun Quanzheng didn't know what to do, but Gan Ning said: "How can the lord abolish a big thing because of one person? He pointed at Zhao Shu and said: "If you dare to hurt Governor Lu, you will definitely avenge him." ”

Zhao Shu didn't think that Sun Quan would agree, but he just wanted to make Wu Jun's heart chill like this. Lü Meng was their Grand Governor, and now they were all prisoners, enough to blow their faith to nothing. Zhao Shu saw that the effect was almost the same, and said again: "Since Marquis Wu is reluctant to Jingzhou, he has to grieve Lu Dudu to live in a certain camp." Wu Hou Che returned to the city to strictly defend the city, and he was going to attack the city in Rishu. After saying that, he turned his horse's head and collected his troops and returned to the camp.

Sun Quan also returned to the city full of anger, and before today's battle, Lü Meng was taken prisoner as the governor of the capital, which simply lost the face of Eastern Wu. What's even more infuriating is that Zhao Shu proposed to exchange Jingzhou for Lu Meng, although Gan Ning relieved the siege, but the generals inevitably talked about it. Gan Ning came back and said that Xu Huang and Zhao Shu joined forces to capture Jingzhou. In the city of Jingzhou, rumors spread again, and it was rumored that the Eastern Wu army and horses killed the soldiers of Jingzhou, which made the people panic and the city was full of wind and rain.

Gan Ning sent Sun Quan back to his house, and seeing that he had been silent, he said: "Zhao Shu's army is coming from afar, and it will attack the city tomorrow." The last general is willing to go out of the city tonight to rob the camp to boost the morale of the city. ”

"No." Sun Quan shook his head and said, "Zhao Shu is scheming, our army should only hold on, not act rashly. ”

Gan Ning also knew that he should not act rashly, but the morale of the soldiers in the city was low, and he was afraid that he would not be able to last long, so he said: "The last general is in front, and the lord will send people to respond, and he will definitely frustrate the enemy's morale." ”

Sun Quan also understood Gan Ning's intentions, so he had to say: "Just let Youping respond, and don't be greedy for merit, but the situation is not right, immediately collect the troops and return to the city." ”

"Yes." Gan Ning and Zhou Tai bowed and retired.

That night, Gan Ning lit up the military horses, went out with a full meal, and came to the Jingzhou military camp. Not wanting all the dozens of horsemen in front of him to fall into the pit, Gan Ning knew that he was in a plan again, and hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat. But he was killed by the ambush soldiers on both sides and surrounded by the nucleus.

The Wu army had no fighting spirit, and when they saw that the army was in turmoil for a while, they scattered one after another. I also heard someone shouting: "Surrender and don't kill", they all want to live, and there are countless people who surrender. Gan Ning clashed left and right, and he couldn't come out, so it was easy to wait for Zhou Tai's army and horses to come to meet him, so he joined forces together, but he didn't dare to fight, and fled back to the city in defeat.

When Zhao Shu saw that the war had subsided, he was promoted to gather generals, and hundreds of prisoners of war were captured. Zhao Shu ordered the captives to be divided into two parts, half of them were entertained with good wine and food, and then told them that Nian was in Jiangdong and that they were specially released to return to the city. The rest were all killed, and the first order came to the gate.

Guan Xing and the others didn't understand what they meant, and Ma Jian said with a smile: "The soldiers who return to the city, Sun Quan will not dare to use them again, and they will be strictly guarded at best, and they will be secretly killed." In any case, it made the military horses in the city unstable and weakened. ”

On the second day, Zhao Shu took Guan Xing as the front and led his men and horses to attack Jingzhou. This is the first time since Zhao Shu led the troops to storm the city, but the Jingzhou army and horses have won consecutive battles, and it is rumored that the small families in the city are being ravaged by the Wu army, and they all sacrifice their lives and forget to die, and the offensive is stronger than one wave. The morale of the Wu army was low, and under the offensive of the Jingzhou army, it was greatly inadequate. The city wall was attacked by Jingzhou soldiers many times, if it weren't for Gan Ning's fierce generals fighting desperately, the city would be broken overnight.

I looked at the corpses full of corpses, and knew that it was impossible to take Jingzhou City within one or two days. Seeing that it was not early and that the soldiers were too dead and wounded, he ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp.

Zhao Shu casually asked about the casualties, and Guan Xing immediately said: "Our army has three thousand dead and wounded. ”

Zhao Shu sighed, it seems that he still has to find a way to outwit it, even if he can recapture Jingzhou by attacking, he can't bear such losses, but most of the people who died were Guan Yu's descendants, and Zhao Shu was not very distressed. Guan Xing saw Zhao Shu's melancholy face, and said: "The two armies are fighting, casualties are inevitable, today's battle has made Wu Gou frightened, and at the end of the next day, he will bring men and horses to attack, and he will definitely be able to take Jingzhou in one fell swoop." ”

Guan Xing is different from his father and eldest brother, and he doesn't have much precaution against Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu was about to praise a few words, but he heard the sergeant outside: "Mr. Yu, Yi Boji, Master Yi asks to see you." ”
