What are you doing here? Could it be that there was an accident in Xiangyang? Zhao Shu hurriedly ordered someone to be invited in. Yi Ji walked in quickly, hurriedly saluted, and opened his mouth to say, "Sir, something is wrong." ”

Zhao Shu's heart was cold, and he got up and said, "What's the matter?" Boji can be explained in detail. ”

Yi Zhinai said: "Carefully make a report, Cao Cao's head is healed, and he personally mentioned that 200,000 troops came from Xu Du Wangjingzhou to avenge Pang De and Xu Huang's defeat." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, Zhao Shu also fell into the handsome position, Sun Quan hadn't driven away yet, why did Cao Cao come to intervene again? Cao Cao's head wind has not healed, why is it getting better now? Zhao Shu immediately asked again: "Is the news reliable?" ”

"It's reliable." Yi replied: "When Xu Huang sent out his troops, Cao Cao had already personally led the army to be stationed in the southern Yangling slope of Luoyang. Now that Xu Huang was defeated, he went south with a large army, and now it is estimated that he will reach Wancheng. ”

Wancheng Zhao Shu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, could it be that Cao Cao didn't send troops for Jingzhou at all? Seeing that Zhao Shu was silent, Yi Ji said: "In the general's opinion, I hope that Mr. will return to the army as soon as possible, and I will protect Xiangyang to wait for reinforcements from Chengdu." ”

Zhao Shu smiled faintly, looked at the people in the tent and asked, "What do you generals think?" ”

Huan Yinai said: "Jingzhou is urgent, it is better to return to Xiangyang first." ”

Ma Jian said: "No, our army has won consecutive victories, morale is like a rainbow, and Jingzhou can be lowered overnight." If the troops are withdrawn in a hurry, not only will the previous achievements be wasted, but Sun Quan will follow behind, and Xiangyang will stop the ground, how can he resist the two armies? ”

"Not bad." I got up and said, "Order the whole army, each person will be fed and a bag of soil will be delivered to Jingzhou City." After an hour, take all, and if you are late, you will be killed. ”

An hour later, more than 10,000 people of the whole army lined up neatly under the city of Jingzhou. Zhao Shu climbed to the top and said loudly: "I got the news today that Cao Cao personally led an army of 200,000 to attack Xiangyang. Immediately, the whole army was in an uproar. Zhao Shu casually pointed to a lieutenant who was whispering next to him, and said, "Drag it down, cut it." ”

At the sound of an order, the whole army was silent, and a human head was presented in an instant. Zhao Shu said loudly again: "If we retreat back to Xiangyang now, we will inevitably be surrounded by the Cao and Sun families, and there will be no reinforcements outside, no grain and grass inside, and we will all die without a place to be buried." And in Jingzhou City, Er and other families were finally ravaged under the iron cavalry of the Wu army. Zhao Shuyao pointed to the city wall of Jingzhou, and then said: "You can't take Jingzhou and the whole family is small, and you can't fight Cao Jun and make a name for yourself in vain." Why be afraid of this small town? I myself beat the drums for the armies, and the city will be taken by this night. Those who ascend to the city first, I should play the bounty of the king of Hanzhong, fear the enemy and not the former, and there will be no forgiveness. ”

Zhao Shu walked up to Guan Xing and said, "Breaking the city tonight is all thanks to the young general." ”

Guan Xingshang returned the salute and said, "Please rest assured, sir." ”

Zhao Shu turned around and stepped on the drum platform, took the drumstick and said, "Siege." After saying that, he used all his strength to beat the drum and cheer. Guan Xing also shouted, and rushed away with the men and horses. The two armies were tired of the battle during the day, and now the Jingzhou army came to attack the city with a drum, and the Wu army had to rush to the battle.

There is a cloud in the art of war, "put it to death and live later", and the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou cannot retreat now, but can only move forward desperately. The armies gathered into mountains and struggled to climb the city. Guan Xing also dismounted, took the lead, took the lead, avoided the arrows, and ascended to the city first. Gan Ning was guarding the city, and when he saw Guan Xing leading people to break through the gap and enter the city, he hurriedly raised his sword to usher in it.

After Guan Xing went to the city, he slashed and killed the soldiers of Wu, and the Jingzhou military horses gradually gathered dozens of people. However, after all, the Wu army was overwhelming, and after Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and other generals came up, Guan Xing was surrounded in the middle, and the sergeants in Shangcheng were killed and wounded. Guan Xing has landed in the city for the third time, and he was forced to retreat the first two times, but this time he saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and he was angry in his heart, and he tried to kill the Wu army.

Gan Ning saw Guan Xing's bravery and stepped forward to meet him. Guan Xing's martial arts were not as good as Gan Ning, and at this time he was under siege, with several scars on his body, and his situation was critical. At the time of this crisis, I heard that the Wu army was in chaos at the city gate, and someone shouted: "The Jingzhou army has entered the city." ”

Gan Ning's heart sank, and he hurriedly abandoned the switch and looked down at the city, and saw that nearly 100 people killed the defenders of the city gate, and opened the city gate to welcome the Jingzhou military horses inside. Gan Ning hurriedly called Zhou Tai and said, "Youping, quickly protect the lord and go out of the city, after a certain break." Zhou Tai replied: "Xingba take care." Then he hurriedly took the people away. Gan Ning hurriedly went down to the city and got on his horse, and led people to the city gate to block the Jingzhou military horses.

Zhao Shu beat the drum in front of the army and cheered, until his arms were sore, and he still had to beat as hard as he could. Suddenly, there was a cheer from the front army, and Ma Jian came with a horse, and bowed and said, "Sir, our army has broken through the city gate." ”

"So quickly?" Zhao Shu couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked, "Why did our army break the city?" ”

Ma Tan pointed to a person behind him and said, "Thanks to this strong man." ”

Zhao Shu saw that the man was very popular and heroic, and stepped forward and arched his hand: "Who is this strong man?" ”

The man fell to the ground and said loudly, "Grass man Li Wei greets Mr. ”

Ma Jian continued: "Tonight, our army attacked the city, and Li Zhuang gathered 100 people and opened the city gate to welcome our army inside. If it weren't for that, would our army be able to break through the city so quickly? ”

"Okay." Zhao Shu took off the sword from his waist and handed it to Li Weidao: "The sword is given to the hero, and I will give this sword to the strong man, so that I can make meritorious service as soon as possible and serve the king of Hanzhong." ”

Li Wei thanked him and said, "So-and-so, let's go to the city to clear the remnants of the enemy." ”

Zhao Shu nodded and said, "I'm here to wait for the good news of the strong man." Li Wei got up and got on his horse, and he and Ma Jian led people into the city. Zhao Shu looked at Huan Yi next to him and said, "God really helps me, Jingzhou is also taken like this, Sun Quan should return to Jiangdong." ”

Huan Yi also nodded and said, "When will Mr. kill Lu Meng?" ”

"I can't kill him." Zhao Shu waved his hand to signal Huan Yi not to interrupt me, and continued: "Now that Cao Cao's army is coming, I want to make peace with Sun Quan for the time being, and I want to send Lu Meng back. ”

Huan Yi said angrily: "Why didn't Mr. go back on his word and avenge General Chen?" ”

Zhao Shu looked at Huan Yi and thought, although he didn't kill Lu Meng because he wanted to make peace with Sun Quan, why didn't he want to keep you? Zhao Shu is only afraid that if he kills Lu Meng, you will return to Wu immediately. Of course, I couldn't say this, so I had to say: "The general should also be considerate of my suffering, Cao Cao's army is imminent, how can this small army in his hands be enough to resist the two armies?" I eat the king's fortune, and I should be loyal to the king. ”

Hearing this, Huan Yi sighed and stopped talking. Zhao Shu said in a low voice of relief: "This time, Lu Meng's return to Wu will no longer be reused, and it will be much easier to take revenge in the future." Since I have sworn an oath, I will never fail General Chen's spirit in heaven. ”

Huan Yi's face was cold, and he said lightly: "Just follow Mr.'s orders." ”

Zhao Shu also smiled, and was about to speak, but when he saw Guan Xing coming covered in blood, he hugged his fists and said: "Sir, our army has occupied Jingzhou, and Sun Quan went out of the east gate under the escort of the generals and went to Jiangxia." ”
