What the Iraqi said is true, these three places add up to about 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there must be backup. Bayi Chinese ???.? And Zhao Shu brought only more than 10,000 people, and the Jingzhou garrison can no longer be transferred, and winning more with less is also a great achievement for the general, but Lu Meng is deep in the art of war, and has lessons from the past, so he will not be easily tricked in the future.

Now there are still soldiers and horses of Xiangyang Guan Ping, Zhao Shu got up and said: "Ji Boru go to Xiangyang, let Guan Zhenwei raise troops to come." ”

Yi Ji hesitated: "If Fancheng Cao Ren takes advantage of the void, what can he do?" ”

In Zhao Shu's memory, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty as emperor in October of this year, and it is now the end of July, which should be the time for him to step up his preparations, and for the time being, he will not easily raise troops and become entangled with Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Immediately, he said: "Let General Guan divide half of his troops to come, Cao Cao's new funeral, the sons compete for the throne, Cao Pi will not use the sword in vain." ”

When Yi heard Zhao Shu say this, although he felt far-fetched, he didn't dare to disobey, so he got up and went to Xiangyang. Zhao Shu shouted to him again and said, "Uncle Ji, if you go to Xiangyang, you will tell General Guan like this, and say, Anguo is killed, and I don't know what happened." "Yi looked at me for a moment, and then he was ordered to leave Zhao Shu

On the same day, the Jingzhou military horses gave up Linyuan and retreated to Wuling. The reason is that the coach Zhao Shu is missing, his life and death are uncertain, and Guan Xingzhong, the general of the town army, was killed by arrow poison. When he returned to Wuling City, he set up a mourning hall for the two of them to pay tribute to them.

After a few days, Guan Xing had recovered, and his body was already as strong as an ox, and under Ye Feng's skillful treatment, he could already walk on the ground as usual, but Shamoke's brute soldiers did not arrive. Just when Zhao Shu felt that he had made a mistake in what he expected, he heard the sergeant report that Shamoke's army had set up camp at the east gate.

Since Zhao Shu and Guan Xing were dead people, they changed the clothes and armor of the soldiers that night, and followed Li Wei and Fu Tong to the city to inspect the enemy. As soon as I went up to the city tower, I saw a forest of torches in the distance, the neighing of war horses, and the chaotic voices of people. Guan Xing looked at it for a moment, and then whispered, "Sir, it seems that something is wrong." ”

Zhao Shu didn't see anything, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Guan Xing said again: "Sir, there are no more than 10,000 barbarian soldiers in Shamoke, but there are no less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city. ”

Guan Xing has lived in the army for a long time, and since he said so, he naturally has his reasons. Fu Tong next to him also nodded, and said: "The last general has been in Wuling for a long time, and he knows the number of barbarian soldiers, so I am afraid that this time Shamo Ke will even add the old and weak, so he can gather more than 20,000 military horses." ”

Li Wei said: "Sir, I'm afraid it's not that Shamoko thinks that our army is newly mourned and the army's morale is unstable, so he deliberately bluffs to disrupt our army's heart." ”

Zhao Shu smiled and shook his head, Shamoke has been following our army, but this time he was a few days late, he must be waiting for something. As for what he was waiting for, Zhao Shu looked at the barbarian army camp under the city, and he also had an understanding.

After watching for a while, Fu Tong was left to patrol the city. Zhao Shu followed everyone to the Taishou Mansion and ascended to the palace to discuss the plan to break the enemy. As soon as Zhao Shugang sat down, he didn't speak, but he heard the noise of people outside the door, and a sergeant ran in to report: "Sir, General Fu caught a spy in the city." ”

Spies? Zhao Shu was looking for someone to verify his conjecture, but someone really sent it to the door, so he said, "Bring someone up." ”

"This," the sergeant was quite embarrassed, and said, "Sir, that spy is very good at martial arts, General Fu is not an opponent, but was captured." ”

This guy is stupid, this is also called catching a spy? is clearly a spy and caught Fu Tong, at this time Guan Xing has just recovered from his serious injury, and it is not suitable to come forward. Zhao Shu had no choice but to look at Li Wei and ask him to take someone there. Li Wei nodded in agreement, got up and went out.

Watching Li Wei leave, Zhao Shu couldn't help but shake his head secretly, Fu Tong seemed to be very incompetent, how could he not beat a random spy. Looking at these people around me, it seems that they are all useless, and now in this year, the bell will not come out, right? However, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei should be adults, but they don't know how to come over.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the footsteps outside, Li Weiren had not arrived, and the voice came first: "Sir, see who is back?" The voice landed, and the two of them walked inside. The first was Li Wei, but behind him was Huan Yi, who had not been seen for nearly a year. Zhao Shu was overjoyed for a while, hurriedly got up and stepped forward, and said, "Why is Brother Huan here?" ”

Huan Yi was also quite happy to see that Zhao Shu was safe and sound, and said: "I heard that Mr. is missing, so I went to Wuling and wanted to inspect it in person, and I was relieved to see that Mr. was fine." ”

Zhao Shu sat down separately from the others, and then asked again: "Brother Huan is not here just to check my life and death, right?" ”

Huan Yi was slightly stunned, and said, "There is indeed an important matter here, does Mr. know where Lu Meng is first?" ”

Zhao Shu replied with a smile: "It's in the Shamoke army outside the city." ”

"So Sir already knows." Huan Yi smiled: "Then it is redundant." ”

"Just guessing." Zhao Shu laughed and said, "But when Brother Huan came like this, I was sure." ”

Huan Yi nodded, and said: "Since leaving Mr., there have been two or three assassinations of Lu Thief alone, but he couldn't succeed, but he almost injured his life. But he still paid close attention to his whereabouts, and saw him leading his troops to blend in with the Wuxi barbarians in the past few days, knowing that he wanted to seize Jingzhou in the name of Shamoke. A certain gentleman was deeply gracious, so he naturally wanted to come to report the news. ”

"I'll thank Brother Huan first." Lü Meng did not dare to blatantly tear up the covenant, so he had to pretend to make trouble with the barbarians, first occupied Jingzhou, and then raised troops to help quell the rebellion. I haven't dared to make any big moves, I still want to be afraid of Zhao Shu, but now that I heard about Zhao Shu and Guan Xing, I was quite in a hurry to do it. Zhao Shu smiled slightly, and said to everyone: "Since Lu Meng wants Wuling, give it to him." ”

Everyone changed color slightly, Gong Zhi hurriedly got up, and said: "The lower official was ordered to guard this county, and I dare not agree with what Mr. said." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Shu also got up and asked, "What does the adult mean is to stick to this city?" ”

"Exactly." Gong Zhi looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and said: "If Mr. wants to go, he will go, and the next official will live and die with the city." ”

"Nonsense." Zhao Shu and Guan Xing were mourned alive, just to lure Lu Meng out of the cave, if they stick to Wuling, isn't it a waste of their previous efforts? Zhao Shu just wanted to let Lu Meng win a few more battles, eliminate his defense, and make him feel that after Zhao Shu died, Jingzhou would be in his pocket. During the Three Kingdoms, the population decreased sharply, and Zhao Shu never focused on the vitality of the army, and did not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place. What's more, Wuling is located in a remote area, and most of the money and grain in the city are transported to Nanjun and Jingzhou, I don't know what Gong Zhi can't do? Zhao Shu was anxious in his heart, and the exit was not very polite.

Gong Zhi's face turned red, and he said loudly: "Sir, how can you abandon the city without authorization?" Wouldn't it be a failure to live up to the trust of the king of Hanzhong? ”
