When Shamoke heard Zhao Shu's words, his face changed again, and he said coldly: "Didn't you swear not to embarrass Mr. Ma again?" ”

"This is natural." Zhao Shu agreed in his mouth, but he thought in his heart that Lu Meng and Gao Ping were defeated, and they must have known that Wuling was bound to be undefendable, so naturally they would not live and die with Shamoke, but they were afraid that they had already withdrawn. And before they return to Jiangxia, they will inevitably return to the Wuxi tribe first and get rid of Ma Liang. As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Shu couldn't go back to the camp, so he immediately said: "An Guo, quickly send someone to inform your eldest brother to enter the city, and the prime minister is here." Then send someone to order Li Wei to take a light horse to Yiyang, we will not enter the city, and go straight to Yiyang. ”

Shamoke was taken aback and said angrily: "You don't talk about credit, didn't you promise to let Mr. Ma go?" ”

Guan Xing was ordered to send people away, but Zhao Shu heard him say that I was going to harm Ma Liang, and he was not angry in his heart, but he knew that if Lu Meng and Gao Ping succeeded, it would be even more difficult to explain to him. Zhao Shu looked at Shamoke and said solemnly: "King, please believe me this time, I am going to save Ji Chang, not to harm him." ”

Seeing that Zhao Shu said extremely sincerely, Shamoke was slightly stunned, but stopped talking. Zhao Shu recalled that there were more than 100 riders around, and said to Guan Xing: "Go to Yiyang immediately, Li Wei will naturally catch up." Then he beat his horse and went southeast. Sha Moke hesitated slightly, and also followed behind Zhao Shu.

The group quickly whipped up and ran for dozens of miles, and they had reached the north bank of Yuanshui. Zhao Shu knew that Li Wei's military horses were also approaching, so he asked Guan Xing to take these more than 100 soldiers to cut down wood and find a place where the water was slow to build a pontoon bridge. He immediately looked south, Zhao Shu rushed to the south now, and he was already two days later than Lu Meng and Gao Ping, hoping that Huan Yi could rescue Ma Liang before the two of them. However, Lu Meng's defeated army, plus the ones left in the Wuxi Department, should have no less than thousands of combat strength, and Huan Yi has only 200 people, and if he wants to rescue Ma Liang, it is tantamount to taking a chestnut in the fire, and there are more defeats and fewer victories. Thinking of this, Zhao Shu sighed again.

Shamoke didn't know when he had arrived at Zhao Shu's side, and asked, "How can Mr. Ma be sure that Mr. Ma is in danger?" ”

This was the first time he took the initiative to talk to Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "I have told the king many times about this matter, and the Han people in the king's army are Lu Meng of Eastern Wu." Now that the matter of instigating the king to make trouble has failed, Ji Chang naturally has no benefit to stay, and if he is not removed, how can Lu Meng rest assured? ”

In fact, Shamoke was able to take the initiative to ask Zhao Shu, and it was expected that he was also a little suspicious of Lu Meng and Gao Ping who abandoned Wuling and died alone. Zhao Shu saw that he was still hesitant, and said: "The king is at war with me, and I should be careful in my strategy, and there are still a few fierce generals under him." If he really wants to get rid of Ma Liang and his literary Confucianism, he will naturally be killed with one blow, and then cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, how can he let his so-called cronies and friends get away? also brought tens of millions of soldiers and horses to help the king rebel? ”

Shamoko pondered for a moment, and then said, "This king can first send someone to return quickly, so that someone can protect Mr. Ma, and no one can take Mr. Ma away before we arrive." ”

"Okay." Zhao Shu was immediately overjoyed, knowing that Shamoke already had some trust in himself, and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, King." ”

"Not necessarily." Shamoke didn't appreciate it at all, his tone was still cold, and he said, "This king is also for Mr. Ma's safety, and he doesn't just believe you." After saying that, he left, and went to arrange for his subordinates to cross the river and return to the tribe to give orders.

Before the people were sent out, they saw Guan Xing coming in a hurry, and when they came to Zhao Shu, they asked in a low voice: "What is the purpose of Mr. asking Shamoke to send people back first?" ”

"Go back and give the order first, so that people can protect Ji Chang." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Shu suddenly said again: "If he asked the people who went back to give the order to ambush our army halfway, wouldn't that be it?" Thinking of this, Zhao Shu's forehead was suddenly drenched in sweat.

Guan Xing originally came to remind Zhao Shu of this, but when he saw that Zhao Shu understood, he said: "Even if Shamoke doesn't have this intention, if Lu Meng is still in the Wuxi clan, he will naturally not care about Shamoke's life and death." ”

"Not bad." Zhao Shu looked at Guan Xing and said with a smile: "An Guo, you are thoughtful, and you will be able to catch up with your father's prestige in time." ”

Guan Xing's face flushed slightly, and said, "Mr. has won the award, so I will go to stop Shamoke." ”

"Wait." Shamoke just had a little trust in Zhao Shu, wouldn't Zhao Shu fall short again by going back on his word? But if Lu Meng is really still in the barbarian department, he will inevitably come to ambush when he gets the news, there are still hundreds of miles to Yiyang, and there are many mountains and forests, which is really unguardable. It is better to send someone to follow closely after Shamoko's messenger, and prepare as soon as there is any change. However, this matter is in danger alone, and it is also very dangerous, Zhao Shu is willing to go to Guan Xing in person, but he is afraid of making a mistake, so it is inconvenient to speak.

Guan Xing saw Zhao Shu's hesitant expression, half silent, and asked, "What is the difficulty of sir?" ”

Zhao Shunai said: "The barbarians have always been repeated, rebelling and peaceful, peaceful and rebellious, it is really a big trouble, so attacking the city is the top." Shamoke just had a little trust in me, and if he went back on his word and was suspicious of him, it would be difficult for him to surrender with peace of mind. It's better to look at him again, and it is inconvenient to say more.

Guan Xing was not stupid, he guessed Zhao Shu's difficulty, and said: "It's better to let someone follow the messenger far away, and if there is any change, notify Mr. first." ”

Zhao Shu nodded, and then instructed: "This is a lonely and dangerous situation, but you have to be more careful, just to find out the news, don't take advantage of the brave and greedy battle, if there is any mistake, I can't explain it to Sister Ling." ”

Guan Xing smiled heartily and said, "I don't care about this, but Mr. cares about his sister, which can't help but make people feel cold." ”

Zhao Shu laughed, punched him, and scolded: "Stinky boy, dare to make fun of me." Watching Guan Xing leave with a smile, Zhao Shu was also very happy in his heart, he had a very good friendship with Sister Nai, and treating me like a brother like this is Sister Nai's intentions, which is self-evident. Now that Guan Yu has just passed away, according to common sense, Guan Feng has to keep filial piety for three years, and most of the time has passed, which is enough for him to wait.

After Shamoko sent people away, he thought that he also cared about Ma Liang's life and death, and actively helped lead people to build bridges. After nearly half an hour of busy work, the construction was finally completed. At this time, Li Wei's follow-up cavalry also arrived, and the military horses rested for a while. Li Wei also briefly reported to Zhao Shu that Guan Ping led the military horses into Wuling, because of Shamoke's order, it was quite smooth.

Although Guan Ping has some resentment towards Zhao Shu, he is not expected to be ambiguous on the major issues of right and wrong, not to mention that if Zhao Shu becomes his brother-in-law, he will be regarded as his own person. Zhao Shu was not afraid that he would occupy Wuling, and when he saw that the military horses were resting properly, he ordered to cross the water and come to the southeast, and went straight to Yiyang, the place where the Wuxi tribe lived.
