Chapter 279: Hearing of Defeat and Burning the Company Camp

Wu Junchun attacked the Shu general Zhao Rongying in the Danbu, but was killed and retreated, losing more than half. Eight? One Chinese Network ???.? 8?1?z??.? The c?o?m Shu army won a lot, which was another great victory after the Battle of Jiangxia. Liu Bei Longyan was happy, rewarded the three armies, and set up a banquet in the imperial tent to celebrate, and Zhao Shu's position was not included in the banquet. I think that after Liu Bei won, he had the intention to humiliate Zhao Shu, and he also sent an edict to order Zhao Shu and Wu Yi to go to the banquet.

After several rounds of drinking, Liu Bei promoted Zhao Rong to general, glanced at the ministers and said: "Wu Gou dared to resist the heavenly soldiers, and killed thousands of people yesterday, all of them were brave." Just wait for the weather to turn cooler, and all the generals will march together, and they will definitely sweep Jiangdong and capture Sun Quan alive to avenge the repeated attacks on my Jingxiang. After the ministers sang the praises again, Liu Bei looked at Zhao Shu who was in the last seat with drunken eyes, and said with a smile: "Jingwei has written many times, and it is said that the Jiangdong Sun family has been established for three generations, and the foundation is deep and unbreakable. What words are there now? ”

Zhao Shu put down the wine glass, got up and stepped forward and said, "Weichen does have something to say." ”

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Okay, let's talk about it." ”

Zhao Shu watched Wu Yi privately shake his hand at Zhao Shu, and felt slightly relieved, finally someone still had a little conscience. It's a pity that Zhao Shu couldn't appreciate it, so he knelt on the ground and said: "Weichen thinks that yesterday's victory is not enough to hold a banquet to celebrate." The response ordered the soldiers of each battalion to be on guard in preparation for the next big battle. ”

Liu Bei laughed again and said, "In the battle yesterday, Wu Gou was terrified, and he dared to come back?" ”

Zhao Shu continued: "Yesterday, the Wu army came to attack this, but there are thousands of people, and they must be 6 to test the enemy. Now that 6 Xun knows the truth and the truth, in the opinion of the ministers, the Wu army will attack in a big way in the near future. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his face was slightly stunned, and he said coldly: "How about coming?" If 6 Sun really dared to come, yesterday's defeat would be his example. ”

Zhao Shu saw that Liu Bei was already getting angry, and he did have some hair in his heart, if he really provoked him and dragged himself out and chopped him with a knife, wouldn't he be wronged? But the matter has come to this point, I have to fight, Zhao Shu coughed a few times, and said loudly: "In the past two days, the Weichen audience has been defending the military camp, and there are many inappropriate. Bao Yuanxi closed the camp due to danger, which was originally a taboo for soldiers. If he uses fire, how can he be delivered? And how can there be a company that can resist the enemy for a hundred miles? If you camp like this, disaster is not far away!

"That's enough." Liu Bei was furious, struck at the imperial case, and shouted: "I didn't kill you the day before yesterday, but today it is getting worse, I have been using soldiers for many years, and I have been said by you to be so unbearable?" Such rumors and rumors confuse the morale of the army, and their hearts can be punished. Someone came, dragged out of the tent, and beheaded the public. ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei was really so hot, Zhao Shu was shocked, and his eyes involuntarily looked at Wu Yi. Wu Yi was looked at by Zhao Shu, so he had to get up and said, "Your Majesty, slow down." Although Captain Zhao's words are offensive, they are not completely undesirable, and there is some truth in them. I hope that His Majesty will read his loyal words and direct advice, and his heart will be commendable, and he will be merciful under the knife. ”

Liu Bei looked at Zhao and Wu coldly, and sneered for a while, and said: "Zhao Shu is really a good skill, he only went to Ziyuan's camp for two days, and then he formed such a friendship." ”

Liu Bei has hated the affairs of the faction since the matter of Fazheng, Wu Yi hurriedly bowed to the ground when he heard this, and knocked: "The minister Bao Zhao Shu really cares about His Majesty's face, and he has no selfish intentions. Zhao Shu has been from His Majesty for many years, and has made meritorious contributions, if he receives advice from him, he is afraid of losing His Majesty's reputation for benevolence and righteousness. ”

"Hmph." Liu Bei has attached great importance to the word "benevolence and righteousness" all his life, and when he heard Wu Yi say this at this moment, his mind also changed slightly, and he asked Yan Pengdao: "What do you think of Shengping?" ”

Yan Peng made great contributions to Liu Bei when Emperor Bai abandoned the law, and Liu Bei was already old and sick, so he was often accompanied by Liu Bei, and he was deeply favored. Seeing Liu Bei ask at this moment, he got up and said: "Captain Zhao made a direct admonition, and the ministers heard that 'the king of sages and sages, do not kill the ministers who admonish', and His Majesty killed him, which damaged the saints in vain, but achieved Zhao Shu's reputation for loyalty and righteousness, which is not advisable." ”

"Yes." Liu Bei nodded and said, "Since this is the case, I will spare his life, but this person has been spreading such rumors in the army for a long time, which is not good for the army." You might as well send someone to Jiangxia, keep it under strict guard, and wait for me to sweep Jiangdong before releasing him. ”

Zhao Shu also breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly wiped away the cold sweat on his face, and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." Liu Bei didn't look at it, only waved his hand to Zhao Shu, and Zhao Shu also accepted it when he saw it, and withdrew from the tent in a funny way. A moment later, someone led Zhao Shu to the camp gate, but saw a prisoner cart placed in front of him. Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, it seemed that it was a capital crime that could be forgiven, and a living crime was inevitable, but this was already the best effect that Zhao Shu expected, so he had to calmly get into the car and say to the captain who was guarding next to him: "Let's go." ”

Although Zhao Shu is a prisoner, he still has some prestige in the army, and the people below don't know what Liu Bei's intentions are? Maybe Zhao Shuguan will be reinstated one day, but the captain didn't dare to slack off, and said, "Sir, sit down." Then he ordered the convoy to go out.

After driving for about two or three miles, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, Zhao Shu turned his head and saw two horses galloping over. Staying close, the previous person was Yan Peng, an upstart next to Liu Bei. Zhao Shu's heart was tight again, could it be that Liu Bei was unwilling to kill himself in front of his ministers, but sent someone to execute himself in private? If this is the case, the gamble you play will lose a lot.

Before Yan Pengfei rode to the prisoner car, he ordered everyone to stop, and the escort also knew that Yan Peng was favored and did not dare to disobey in the slightest. Yan Peng turned over and dismounted, asked everyone to retreat, walked in front of Zhao Shu, and said, "Mr. has worked hard all the way, and I will send you off in the next place." As soon as he waved, the entourage behind him served the wine, Yan Peng personally poured a glass of wine, handed it to Zhao Shu, and said: "A thin glass of wine is a good heart." ”

Although he was smiling, Zhao Shu was in a cold sweat on his back, and he didn't dare to reach out to pick it up for a long time. After a while, Yan Peng suddenly drank all the wine in the cup, and laughed: "Mr. Shicai made a generous statement in the imperial camp, and he was not afraid of death, but now he is afraid?" ”

Zhao Shu saw that he had no malicious intent, so he let out a long breath and said, "If he died at that time, he would have been immortal, but now he has no intentions." ”

Yan Peng put down his wine glass, waved away his entourage, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "If Mr. really wants to die, he will not perform such a play in front of His Majesty." ”

Could it be that he saw through his own intentions? Zhao Shu was shocked in his heart, but said in his mouth: "I don't understand what the adults are saying." ”

Yan Peng smiled and said, "Ming people don't say dark words, when Your Majesty is deployed, you will feel that it is inappropriate." Mr. Today, it dawned on me that if 6 Xun could really see this, His Majesty's army would be defeated. Yan Peng looked around and said, "If Mr. tells Your Majesty this matter in private, Your Majesty may not listen." However, Mr. chose to be in front of the ministers, and directly denounced the failure of the camp defense, and the deployment was planned by His Majesty himself, if His Majesty agreed with Mr.'s proposal, wouldn't he slap himself in front of everyone? This move is not to want His Majesty to change the armament, but to remind His Majesty of today's 'loyalty' when the army is defeated in the future, and to understand the 'loyalty' of Mr. ”

Zhao Shu looked at Yan Peng coldly, since he saw through Zhao Shu's intentions, why didn't he tell Liu Beiming? But what did you do chasing Zhao Shu? Just as he wanted to hear him continue, Yan Peng changed his words and said: "Come to give Mr. a ride today, and I hope that Mr. will not forget it when he reaches Tengda in the future." Without waiting for Zhao Shu to speak, he turned around and jumped on the horse, hugged his fists and said, "Say goodbye below." He pointed to the escort again: "Mr. Zhao is frustrated for a while, if you look down on people with dog eyes and let the official know, you will not be spared." ”

Then he beat his horse and left. Only Zhao Shu was left stunned in the car, and only after a moment did he hear the captain of the escort line say: "My lord, are you about to set off?" Zhao Shu hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't dare, the general will please." Looking at the southeast direction again, he said silently: 6 Xun, my affairs are done, don't let me down.

The Jiangxia guard general is the governor of the navy Huang Quan, and Liu Bei is afraid of the Eastern Wu navy, so he is advanced with the 6th army and the navy behind. Huang Quan and Zhao Shu also have several relationships, and they have two friendships, and Liu Bei's will is only to be strictly guarded, and there is no other punishment. It was Huang Quan who was next to his military tent. Another account will be settled by Zhao Shu, the courtesy is thoughtful, and the supply is not lacking. Zhao Shu stayed away from the front-line war, and also stayed calmly. Jiang Xia was not on the front line, and Huang Quan was just a routine every day, patrolling the city defense, which was far more idle than Wu Yi and the others. Zhao Shu sent people under the fence, and he had the heart to win over, and tried his best to flatter, and when he had time, he asked to see and ask for advice on the strategy of using soldiers, and the two sides got along very happily.

A few days passed in a flash, and Zhao Shu was talking with Huang Quan in the tent, when he saw two sergeants supporting a captain to break in. Seeing that the captain should be Liu Bei's Imperial Forest Forbidden Army, when he saw Huang Quan, he struggled and fell to the ground, and hissed: "Your Majesty is trapped by the defeat, and I also ask the general to send reinforcements." ”

Zhao Shu had already prepared in his heart, but Huang Quan was shocked, hurriedly stepped forward to help the man up, and asked, "Where is Your Majesty now?" Let's go into more detail. The lieutenant, covered in blood and badly wounded, forced himself to come to ask for help, and at this moment when he spoke, he fell unconscious. Huang Quan stretched out his hand to investigate, but he was already dead of anger, and hurriedly ordered the army and horses to be prepared, and he was about to say goodbye to Zhao Shu.

"General, stay." Zhao Shu stopped in front of Huang Quan and asked, "How many soldiers and horses does Your Majesty have there?" ”

Huang Quan was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The two armies of Sichuan and Chu are about 100,000. ”

Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Your Majesty's soldiers and horses are far superior to 6, and An Neng will be defeated in one day?" And there are dozens of good generals in the battalion, how can such a nobody be allowed to serve in this matter of breaking through and asking for help? ”

Under Zhao Shu's suggestion, Huang Quan immediately realized and said: "Mr. thinks this person is cheating? ”

"Isn't Fang Caiwu asking the general for Sun Tzu's Art of War? The general is not afraid that this person is the death of Dongwu? Zhao Shu said again: "Jiangxia is the only way for our army to retreat to Jingzhou, if it is lost, won't my 100,000 army be trapped and die there?" The general has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and has to be guarded against. ”

Huang Quan looked at the corpse lying on the side, and hesitated: "What Mr. said is true, but if this person is really sent by His Majesty." If he did not send troops, wouldn't he disobey the holy order and abandon His Majesty's safety, and he could not afford such a crime. ”

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Jiangxia City?" Zhao Shu persuaded again: "Not to mention whether Your Majesty is in danger or not, even if Your Majesty is defeated, the 100,000 army is still insufficient, and the general can save a cart of fire with this cup of water?" The following officials are foolish in their opinion, and the general should only strictly defend the city defense, and if he keeps Jiangxia, he will protect the way for the army to return westward. If this is the plan of Eastern Wu, the general will lose Jiangxia because of this, and his crime will be great. At this time, the general does not seek merit, but seeks no fault. ”

Huang Quan thought about it again and again, and just as he didn't know what to do, he went outside to explore the horses and entered, and reported that a large group of military horses were coming from the east. Huang Quannai said to me: "Mr. You're here, and Wu Jun is tricking in a certain danger." "Hurriedly take someone to the city tower to inspect it. Zhao Shu also followed, and when he was about to leave the tent, he glanced at the corpse on the ground again, whether this person was sent by Liu Bei or not, Zhao Shu had to dissuade Huang Quan from sending troops. If Liu Bei is not defeated, how can he reflect Zhao Shu's foresight and loyalty to the monarch's patriotism?

Huang Quan ascended the city and looked at it, and there was indeed a large team of soldiers and horses in the east of Jiangxia, and the dust and smoke were great, about 10,000. This was originally a wartime, Jiangxia should be prepared, long ago, Huang Quan ordered, the three armies were on alert, just waiting for the enemy to approach and tear it up. When the military horses outside the city gradually approached, Huang Quan felt something different, turned to me and said, "Sir, it seems that the city is his own military horse." ”

Zhao Shu also saw that the generals in front of the army were Huan Yi and Lin Yang, and the boulder in his heart fell to the ground, but he pretended not to know, and said: "The lower official is clumsy, and he can't see it clearly, so it's better for the general to ask." Huang Quan nodded, and was about to ask, but Lin Yang stepped forward and said loudly: "Which general is in the city?" The last general Guan Zheng Lin Yang under the east tent also asked the general to open the city gate. ”

Zhao Shu leaned forward, pretending to be surprised, and said, "Sure enough, it's General Lin, open the city gate quickly." ”

Huang Quan hurriedly ordered someone to open the city gate to welcome Huan and Lin into the city. The four of them stepped forward to meet, Huang Quan thought about the battle ahead, and after the salute was finished, he hurriedly asked. This time Liu Bei conquered, with Huang Quan as the general of Zhenbei, supervising 20,000 water troops, and his position was very high. When Lin Yang saw him asking, he explained them in detail one by one. Zhao Shu listened carefully, and as expected, Liu Bei's shortcomings were seen through by 6 Xun, and overnight, the fire burned for hundreds of miles, and Liu Bei's 100,000 troops were all defeated.

Huang Quan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and finally asked, "Does the general know where Your Majesty is now?" ”

Lin Yang glanced at Zhao Shu, shook his head and said: "At that time, the Wu army set fire to all sides, and all the generals fought separately, and the last general only led his own troops and horses to rush out of the encirclement, I don't know what Your Majesty's situation is now." ”

Huang Quan hurriedly said to Zhao Shu: "Sir can guard Jiangxia with two generals, and lead Jiangxia's troops to meet Your Majesty." At this moment, Zhao Shu had no reason to stop him, and was about to nod his head in agreement. But he heard Huang Quan say: "The general is in the front, why did he retreat to Jiangxia first?" ”

Lin Yang and Huan Yi didn't want Huang Quan to suddenly ask this question, so they were stunned together. Zhao Shu saw that Huang Quan was becoming more and more suspicious, and hurriedly interrupted his thoughts, and said: "If the general wants to go out of the city, the lower officials have a plan, I don't know if it is feasible?" When Huang Quan heard this, he really didn't think about the question just now, and turned his head to look at Zhao Shu.

I sighed silently in my heart and said, "This plan is a long story, and I ask the general to go back to the account and discuss it." Waiting for Huang Quan to nod and move forward, Zhao Shu turned his eyes to look at Huan Yi, and slowly raised his right hand to his neck to gesture......
