After a few polite words, Fa Zheng cut to the point and asked: "I heard that the general has a good strategy for breaking Wu in his chest, and I hope the general will teach him this time." ”

Zhao Shu avoided answering and said: "Your Majesty will raise troops to attack Wu, and his will will will be won, such a major military matter, you should still show your Majesty." ”

Fa Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Doesn't the general understand the situation between the DPRK and China?" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Shu was quite surprised and said, "I hope your lord will give you advice." ”

Fa Zheng picked up the tea, just dipped his lips, did not drink it, put it down and said: "Your Majesty's illness today, I think the general has seen it, the dragon is unwell, this matter of killing Wu, I am afraid that it will depend on the strength of the general and Zheng." ”

"That's what my lord said." Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Your Majesty is so ill, why do you still insist on killing Wu?" It's quite puzzling. ”

"The general is far away in Jingxiang and doesn't understand His Majesty's intentions." Fa Zheng smiled slightly and said, "You can guess a thing or two." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Shu hurriedly said, "My lord, please speak." ”

Fa Zhengdao: "In today's situation, Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty in the north, occupying two-thirds of the world, and it is impatient. The heart of people with lofty ideals is gradually disappearing, and His Majesty inherited the great treasure in Chengdu, and is about to rebel to calm people's hearts and boost morale. Jiangdong Sun Quan seized one side and declared himself a vassal to the puppet Wei, and His Majesty naturally wanted to ask for it first. As long as Wu can be broken in a battle, and the heart of the Han in the world does not die, then His Majesty's northern map of the Central Plains can be expected, and the Han family can be expected. ”

Zhao Shu stood up and saluted Fa Zheng, and said, "What your lord said is very true, Your Majesty is far-sighted, and it is beyond Shu's expectations. ”

Fa Zheng also got up and humbled himself. The two sat down again, and Fa Zheng said again: "Since the general has broken Wu's strategy again, why don't you teach first?" ”

Zhao Shu was inconvenient to excuse himself, so he opened his mouth and said: "The people that Dongwu relies on are only the elite of the naval army, and they are beyond the reach of my soldiers. Therefore, His Majesty raised troops, and Sun Quan mobilized Zhou Tai, Han Dang and other generals to garrison Jiangxia with Gan Ning, wanting to use the natural danger of the Yangtze River to resist our army's advance into Jiangdong. ”

Fa Zheng nodded again and again: "What the general said is extremely true, what will we do to deal with it?" ”

Zhao Shu took the map and said, "My lord, please take a look." When the Fa was approaching, I said again: "In the Hengyang area, all barbarians belong to the Celestial Empire, why not use it?" The troops of Eastern Wu had to be divided into tens of thousands to defend Huainan, and Jiangxia also had tens of thousands of troops and horses. The rest of the military horses are divided into counties, and this Changsha county only has Sun Huan's department, but there are more than 10,000 people. Since I received His Majesty's edict to destroy Wu, I have sent people to build boats and confuse Sun Quan. His Majesty's army can also go as far as Jingzhou, send a partial division to Hengyang in the south, contact all the barbarian departments, promise a heavy reward, and take Changsha first, and then take Yuzhang and other counties in the east, or go north to echo with our army of Wu and attack Jiangxia. It's all the best way to go. After Zhao Shu finished speaking, he looked at Fa Zheng and looked at the map, pinching a cold sweat in his heart, this improvised "clever plan" hoped to move him.

Fa Zheng looked at it for a moment, and suddenly said loudly: "Clever plan." The general subdued the barbarians, but he had already planned to do so in his heart, this strange army made Sun Quan unguardable. ”

Zhao Shu let out a long breath in his heart and said with a smile: "My lord has won the award, this matter is simple to say, but it is also quite complicated. First of all, the soldiers and horses must be hidden to Hengyang, and the Wu army cannot be allowed to prepare first. Secondly, the battle of Changsha must be quickly resolved and broken in one fell swoop, one is not to let the Wu army have a chance to reinforce, and the other is to demoralize the Wu army. The generals of Sichuan, who can take on this important task must be carefully considered by adults. ”

"Not bad." Fa Zheng nodded and said, "A thousand troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find." If you are not a wise and brave general, you can't take on this important task. At this point, he went back to consult with the generals about the candidates, so as not to disturb the generals' rest. ”

Finally sent him away, Zhao Shu politely sent Fa Zheng out of the door, turned back inside, and heard Huan Yi sigh: "Mr. Change, in this short period of time, you can think of such a good plan." Fa Zheng now has no doubts about Mr.'s intentions in his heart. ”

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "I am also improvised, the art of war is to pay attention to avoiding the real and making the false, and attacking the other's shortcomings with one's own strengths." Next, it's a matter of how to take the next step. In my opinion, Fa Zheng originally wanted to trap me in the court and take over Jingzhou, but now it seems that his ambitions are far more than that. ”

"Oh?" Huan Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Mo Fei really has the intention of annexing Jiangdong?" ”

Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Now that Your Majesty is controlled by the Fazheng Medicine Stone, the bigger the land ruled by Your Majesty, the stronger the power of Fazheng." Not only Jingzhou is the meat in his eyes, but also the six counties and eighty-one states in Jiangdong are also the desires in his heart. ”

Huan Yi smiled "hehe" and said, "Fazheng's ambition is also great. ”

"If the human heart is insufficient, the snake swallows the elephant." Zhao Shu said lightly: "Unexpectedly, my unintentional sentence of 'there is a good way to break Wu' actually aroused Fazheng's desire for power." I think he should hurry back now to consult with his confidant generals, and if he thinks what I say is true, he is afraid that he will make this attack on Wu come true. ”

Huan Yi said: "If Fa Zheng really wants to kill Wu, then he has no time to take care of Mr. for the time being, and Mr. is about to take advantage of his unpreparedness to get rid of him." ”

"If that's the case, then God will help me." Zhao Shu said to Huan Yi again: "You go and arrange people to investigate the deployment of the White Emperor Sichuan Army." There are not many people in the Sichuan system who can be called good generals, and Li Yan is in Chengdu again, I really want to see why Fazheng dares to have such great ambitions. ”

Waiting for Huan Yi to retreat, Zhao Shu turned to the inner room to rest, and the law is to reach out to take over Jingzhou, or continue to attack Wu, tomorrow will definitely make a decision. Sure enough, the next day, Zhao Shu had breakfast and was about to enter the palace to meet Liu Bei, and Xiang Chong entered the interior to report that there was a holy decree. Liu Bei has now been proclaimed emperor, and etiquette cannot be sloppy. Zhao Shu hurriedly instructed the family general to prepare an incense case and serve the court, so that he could go out to welcome the angel.

When Zhao Shu changed his clothes and came to the lobby, the incense case had already been prepared, and he heard a more familiar voice shouting: "Zhendong General Zhao Shu takes the order." Zhao Shu took a closer look, and it turned out that the messenger was Zhang Shun, the chief chamberlain who met in the palace yesterday. Zhao Shu hurriedly stepped forward to bow down, and said that the minister accepted the order.

Zhang Shun opened the edict and read: "The edict said: 'I raised troops from Chengdu, fought against rebellion and rebellion, and the world was shaken. Jiangdong Sun rebelled, refused to surrender, and vainly used the danger of the river to resist the power of my heaven. There is Zhao Shu, the general of Zhendong, who has a strategic change, which is enough to be of great use, and he is used as a military advisor, staying on my side, and planning a great plan to defeat Wu. The military horses of Jingxiang Zhulu are temporarily controlled by Wu Yi, and they are here. ’”

Zhao Shu said respectfully: "The minister's order, thank Your Majesty Longen." He took the edict with both hands, then stood up and said, "There is Father-in-law." ”

"Don't dare." Zhang Shun said with a smile: "Please ask the general to hand over the golden seal of General Zhendong for the time being, and our family can return to the palace as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." Zhao Shu hurriedly asked Huan Yi to enter to take the seal, and he sat down with Zhang Shun in the lobby, and said: "I was going to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty today, why did the edict come down?" ”

Zhang Shundao: "The general's plan to defeat Wu has been transferred by the Fa Shangshu to His Majesty, Your Majesty thinks so, and he was going to personally summon the general to discuss the plan, but the dragon is not feeling well, so he has to give up." Now the edict is a military advisor, commanding all kinds of armies, how much do you value the general? Once Wu is broken, the general's favor is infinite, and the villain still has to rely on Mr. ”

Zhao Shu laughed and said: "Gonggong Meng's auspicious words, I am grateful. At this time, Huan Yi had already taken the gold seal, and Zhao Shu took it and handed it over to Zhang Shun, and gave it to him in gold. Zhang Shuncai went out with a thousand thanks.

As soon as Zhang Shun left, Tianyi hurried in and said, "General, Zhang Wei and his military horses are stationed outside the pavilion on the grounds of protecting the general's safety." went to negotiate with the lieutenant, but Zhang Wei refused to evacuate with His Majesty's edict. ”

"Leave him alone for now." Zhao Shu asked again: "Today's military horses in the city, can they be transferred?" ”

Huan Yi said: "The spies have been dispatched, and they have not been reported yet." After a pause, he said: "Zhang Wei is stationed outside with military horses, and I am afraid that the news of Shangyong and Xiangyang will not be able to come in." ”

"Then wait a little longer." Zhao Shu said lightly: "I have now handed over the seal of General Zhendong, and Fa Zheng is still counting on me to help him win a few battles, and he will not move me for the time being." I'm trapped in the White Emperor now, so naturally some people are anxious. ”

Huan Yi smiled: "It turns out that Mr. wants to lure Kong Ming to make a move." ”

Zhao Shu laughed and said, "You can't always sing with Fa Zheng for Kong Ming to see, right?" With yesterday's Fazheng tone, I expected that if I wanted to go down to Hengyang and sneak attack Changsha's partial division, I must have sent Zhao Yun to lead it. No matter how good Kong Ming's patience is, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit still in Chengdu. ”
