In the temporary Shangshu Lingfu of the White Emperor City, Zhao Shu held a brush that was not very handy. Although Zhao Shu has been in the Three Kingdoms for more than ten years, there are few opportunities to write, and it is quite difficult to write now. After a few lines, Zhao Shu was sweating profusely, and his hands and arms hurt.

Guo Huai stood aside, looked at Zhao Shu's embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "The eldest brother has been demoted to General Zuo now, so there is no need to play on it, if it really provokes His Majesty's thunderous anger, it will be of no benefit to the eldest brother himself." ”

Zhao Shu raised his head and smiled: "Don't worry, Liu Bei governs the country with benevolence and righteousness, and will never kill the ministers in vain." Isn't it just a left general? It would be nice if I really relegated me to a commoner. ”

Guo Huai was stunned for a moment and said: "If you really become a commoner, won't the eldest brother bother to do it for many days?" ”

Zhao Shu casually took a scroll of brocade silk from the side of the case, handed it to Guo Huai, and said: "This is the camp defense pattern sent by An Guo, now that midsummer is coming, Liu Bei's defeat is just around the corner, if I don't hurry up to the book, I'm afraid there won't be much chance in the future." ”

Guo Huai took the pattern and looked at it intently for a moment, Zhao Shu also took the opportunity to write a few words, and listened to him: "Your Majesty is an old soldier, why is it so unbearable?" Is there anyone who has a company of seven hundred miles to repel the enemy? Being close to the mountains and forests is also a taboo for soldiers. ”

"You see that, too?" Zhao Shu continued to write, and said: "Liu Bei won Jiangxia, ambushed and killed Gan Ning, and became more and more arrogant, and the entire Jiangdong was not in his eyes, so he dared to march and set up a formation like this, and he didn't know what the strategists with the army were eating. Wait, wait until Lu Xun is happy that day, and the 100,000 army must be burned with one fire. ”

Guo Huai asked, "Is this letter from the eldest brother to clarify this matter?" ”

Zhao Shu sneered for a while, and said: "It's still a cliché to persuade him to negotiate peace with Dongwu, and each has the intention of quitting the army." However, I will personally say it in front of a group of civil and military personnel. ”

Guo Huai was shocked: "Big brother is going to Jiangxia?" ”

"Not bad." Zhao Shu smiled lightly: "If I make this matter clear in the book, what if Liu Bei has a bright head and changes his mind?" said it in front of everyone, Liu Bei likes face, so naturally he won't listen. When the army is defeated, how will the soldiers look at me, and how will they look at Liu Bei? Zhao Shu paused for a moment, and then said: "What's more, Anguo is still on the front line, I always have to find a way to save this bit of family wealth in Jingzhou, right?" can't follow Liu Bei to accompany the funeral. I still have to rely on them to defend Jingzhou. ”

Guo Huai nodded yes again and again, but asked again: "Uncle Chen is in the city, I'm afraid that he won't let the eldest brother out of the city." ”

Zhao Shu looked at him sideways and said, "What are you and Huan Yi and the five hundred families in this mansion going to do?" Could it be that you haven't been in battle for months, and you can't do this little thing? ”

"Yes." Guo Huai said: "It's just that the younger brother is afraid that the matter will be big, which is not good for the eldest brother." ”

"The bigger, the better, otherwise how can I reflect my loyalty to Liu Bei?" Zhao Shu picked up the pen and continued to write, and said, "You go down and prepare." Tomorrow morning, I will break out of the city and go to the Jiangxia imperial camp. Guo Huai took the order and left. Zhao Shu continued to write for a while, and after finishing the chapter, he returned to the inner courtyard and went to Jiangxia, which still had to be discussed with Guan Feng.

Zhao Shu conspired with everyone to hide her alone, after all, she and the Guan family were loyal to Liu Bei. In the past few months, Zhao Shu wrote to Liu Bei to persuade him to withdraw from the army, but he has been demoted several levels, and now he told her that Zhao Shu was going to Jiangxia in person, Guan Feng couldn't help but worry about Zhao Shu's safety, and wanted to go with Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu hurriedly tried every means to persuade Liu Bei to be the king of "benevolence and righteousness" after all, and he would definitely not kill meritorious ministers in vain. Finally appeased her, and when Zhao Shu walked out of the door, he couldn't help but ask himself, what is the point of deceiving the person next to the pillow like this? It reminds Zhao Shu of Rong'er who is making trouble in the north, maybe Zhao Shu and her are really a good match.

Early the next morning, leaving Ye Feng in the White Emperor City, Zhao Shu took Guo Huai, Huan Yi and five hundred generals went straight to the city gate, and the captain guarding the gate had the intention of blocking slightly, so he was cut by Huan Yi under the horse, and the rest of the people did not dare to speak, and when Chen arrived, Zhao Shu had been away from the city for a long time.

Liu Bei got Jiangxia, and then confronted Lu Xun's army in Huangshi, although there were small battles, but each had a victory or defeat, since the spring and summer, they could not hold each other. Sun Quan's army was stationed in Chaisang, supporting Lu Xun. Although history has been tampered with a lot by Zhao Shu, judging from Liu Bei's troop arrangement, it is still very likely that the burning of the company camp for 700 miles will still occur.

Zhao Shu left the White Emperor and hurried all the way, arriving at Liu Bei's imperial camp in late May, less than a month before Liu Bei's defeat at Yiling. When the general of the camp heard that "General Zuo Zhao Shu" asked to see him, he was stunned at first, and then reported inside. After a while, he saw a large group of people rushing out and surrounding Zhao Shu's subordinates, Huang Hao swayed out and said in a shrill voice: "Your Majesty summoned Zhao Shu to meet him, and all the idle people are waiting outside the camp." ”

"Commandment." Zhao Shu took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Is the public security good?" "I don't want this guy to look down on people, so he ignores Zhao Shu, just snorts coldly, and turns around and enters the camp. hated Zhao Shu so much that his teeth itched, and after thinking about it, this guy was a snobbish villain, Zhao Shu is now out of favor with Liu Bei, and it is not surprising that he reacted like this, but it is ridiculous that Zhao Shu actually wanted to win him over at the beginning.

followed Huang Hao into Liu Bei's imperial tent, and saw Liu Bei sitting on it with a frosty face. The left and right civil and military also looked at Zhao Shu with strange eyes, some Zhao Shu knew, and some Zhao Shu didn't. Zhao Shu hurriedly stepped forward to bow down and kowtow, shouting three long live.

"Flat." Liu Bei looked at Zhao Shu coldly, threw a book in front of Zhao Shu, and said: "Uncle Chen went to you to kill the officials for no reason and left the White Emperor City without permission, you can be guilty." ”

Zhao Shugang got together, and hurriedly knelt down again, and said: "What Governor Chen said is true, but Weichen thinks that His Majesty's safety is in danger, and the country is in danger, so he has to make this decision." As he spoke, he took out the prepared musical, raised his hands above his head, and said, "The minister has a performance, please look at it Your Majesty." ”

Huang Hao hurriedly came to get Liu Bei, Liu Bei took a look, and knew that it was the previous few times to persuade him to stop the army and negotiate peace with Dongwu, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and smashed his head at Zhao Shu, and angrily reprimanded: "My army is rebellious, and Keri can win. Without waiting for Zhao Shu to say anything more, Liu Bei ordered someone to drag Zhao Shu out of the tent.

Liu Bei's imperial camp guards were all strong men with five big and three thick, and two people came to take Zhao Shu out of the tent. As soon as Zhao Shu was free, he wanted to rush into the tent again, but he saw Huang Hao following out of the tent and said: "Your Majesty's dictation, General Zhao Shu of the left confuses the hearts of the army, leaves his post without permission, recites his previous merits, degrades the captain of Zhaoxin, and General Wu Yi of the rear camp listens to it." ”
