Huang Hao was sweating profusely, his hands were rubbing anxiously, and a pair of eyes secretly glanced at Zhao Shu who was sitting on it, but the other party remained silent. Liu Bei wanted Huang Hao to find a confidant to pass on the situation in Jingzhou to Kong Ming in Chengdu, which was also a way he had no choice. But Liu Bei miscalculated Huang Hao again, and now the whole city of Jingzhou is in the hands of Zhao Shu, and even the commander of the forbidden army has been replaced by Wu Yi, who had begged for mercy for him in the imperial camp. How dare Huang Hao take such a risk? Besides, Liu Bei has always despised eunuchs and has no favor for Huang Hao. So after Huang Hao got the order, he went straight to Guo Huai's mansion and told Zhao Shu the truth of the matter word for word.

Zhao Shu looked at Huang Hao, who was kneeling on the side in horror, and couldn't make up his mind for a while. Although Zhao Shu is indeed disloyal to Liu Bei in his heart and has a rebellious heart, he is full of kung fu on the surface, and he can't imagine that Liu Bei still doesn't trust Zhao Shu, and he really deserves to be a generation of heroes. But is Chengdu's Kong Ming so credible? actually thought of moving troops there, Liu Bei seemed to be really a hero's end. Liu Bei did this, he could only force Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu originally just wanted to tie him up in Jingzhou, but now it seems that he should make a decision and kill him?

"Someone." Zhao Shu summoned, and Guo Huai brought a few henchmen inside. Huang Hao was suddenly frightened, hurriedly kept kowtowing, and said: "It is Your Majesty's will, it has nothing to do with the villain, the general spares his life." ”

"Shut up." Zhao Shu stopped in a deep voice and said, "Why did General Ben say that he wanted your life?" "Such a greedy and fearful of death, untrustworthy villain, Zhao Shu is really the first time to see him, from a personal point of view, it is not too much to kill him ten times or eight times. It's just that he brought Liu Bei's news to Zhao Shu, such a punishment is unfair, and many things that a gentleman can't do, and the villain is just useful. Since Liu Bei only believed him now, Zhao Shu had no choice but to let him go undercover beside Liu Bei.

Huang Hao was overjoyed to hear that he could live, and hurriedly thanked him. Zhao Shu didn't bother to look at his face, and hurriedly let people send him out, of course, a reward was indispensable. Huang Hao left with a thousand thanks, probably secretly happy in his heart, and was glad that he made the right choice.

Zhao Shu carefully told Guo Huai about Liu Bei, and wanted him to help him get some ideas. After Guo Huai listened, he also felt quite contradictory, since Liu Bei always refused to believe Yu Zhao Shu, it was very inconvenient to kill or not. If you don't kill, you're afraid of a long night, but it's not the right time to kill, how many troops does Jingzhou have now? In the event of regeneration, there is Lu Xun in the east and Sima in the north, if it is to attack by funeral, Kong Ming will definitely not send troops to rescue, how can it be preserved?

The two were discussing but couldn't get a result, and after listening to the general outside, Huan Yi sent someone to ask to see him. Zhao Yun from Changsha was also a huge stone in Zhao Shu's heart, and hurriedly entered. After a while, I saw a man rushing in, crying before me, and saying loudly, "Please also ask the general to avenge my father." "It is the Tianyi of the Wuxi tribe.

Zhao Shu was shocked when he heard this, but he and Guo Huai glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, how did Dongxin Lei die? Hurriedly helped Tianyi up and said, "General, tell me carefully, what happened to the old cave master?" Tianyi got up and wiped away his tears, only to tell the truth about the matter intermittently.

It turned out that after Zhao Yun learned that Liu Bei's army was defeated, he ordered the general to lead the team to withdraw first, and after he broke off, he even provoked more than ten generals of Eastern Wu, because Sun Huan did not dare to pursue again, and Zhao Yun's troops were able to retreat. As early as Zhao Shu's instructions, Dongxinlei's barbarian army withdrew from Changsha and returned to his tribe under the pretext of lack of food and grass. When Zhao Yun led his army to pass through Wuxi, he set up a banquet to invite the leaders of the various tribes, and expressed his gratitude for the support and help during the Eastern Expedition, but as a result, he set up an ambush and killed more than ten of the chiefs of the various departments, including Dongxin Lei. Later, there was a surprise sneak attack on the various departments of Wuxi, killing tens of thousands, Tianyi fought to the death, and met the Huan Yi department, so he sent someone to escort him to Jingzhou.

After Zhao Shu listened, he slapped his palm on the case. Zhao Shu should have thought that Dongxinlei's withdrawal from the battle of Changsha would inevitably make Zhao Yun suspicious, and now that Liu Bei's army was defeated, he couldn't let go of the Wuxi barbarians. He was able to kill Huo Jun back then, and now he can destroy Wuxi. Zhao Shu looked at the Tianyi in front of him, the clan was ruined, and he really didn't know what words to use to appease.

Guo Huai looked at Zhao Shu for a long time and said to Tianyi: "The general's injuries have not healed, and he will go down to rest first." In the family matter, the eldest brother will make the decision for you. Tianyi nodded, and left with the family.

Zhao Shu looked at Guo Huai and sighed: "I think one step less, and I am ashamed of Tianyi." ”

Guo Huai had no choice but to be relieved: "The matter of Jingzhou has already made me too busy to take care of myself, and I can't blame the eldest brother for the matter of Wuxi, I don't want Zhao Yun to be so ..... alas!" ”

The Wuxi tribe was surrendered by Zhao Shu, Zhao Yun naturally couldn't let it go, and Dongxin Lei retreated without a fight, which gave him an excuse to kill, and for these ethnic minorities, the official family has always been exterminated. Zhao Yun did this, and it was understandable to discuss it in the court. Zhao Shu flicked his head, careless, careless.

"Big brother can't feel sorry for himself." Guo Huai said again: "You have to make an idea early." ”

"What's the idea?" As soon as I asked, I immediately understood that Zhao Yun had destroyed Wuxi, so he naturally wanted to come to Jingzhou, and the loss of his troops was not large, it should be about 10,000 people, but it was a large army. The soldiers and horses of Jingzhou City have been sent to Guan Ping, Xiang Chong, and Huan Yi respectively, leaving only about 5,000 left, and there are many old and weak wounded soldiers, so they should make the best plan.

The more things in the world are afraid of, the more they come, Zhao Shu and Guo Huai have not had time to discuss how to deal with it, Li Wei on the city defense sent someone to tell him, and a large group of military horses appeared in the southeast. Zhao Shu and Guo Huai looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and said together: "Come so fast." So he hid from Tianyi and came to the city tower with his family.

Ascending the city tower, Li Wei and others stepped forward to greet him and said, "General, the last general has closed the door and strengthened his vigilance. However, the other party is Zhao Yun's department, how can the general decide? ”

Zhao Shu looked at the dust and smoke raised in the distance, and said: "The city gate is opened, and Zhao Yun and I are the ministers of the same palace, so like a great enemy, what's the matter?" ”

Li Wei hesitated: "There are not many soldiers and horses in the city, if Zhao Yun has bad intentions, the last general is afraid ......."

Guo Huai interrupted him with a smile behind him: "Wouldn't closing the city gate show that the eldest brother is weak and timid?" Opening the city gate, Zhao Yun may not dare to enter lightly. Li Wei nodded suddenly, and hurriedly gave the order to go down and open the city gate, waiting for Zhao Yun to come.

Zhao Yun is indeed a good general, 10,000 troops and horses came from afar, and there is no mess. The cavalry team in front was cleaned up, and the hooves were not bad, and the infantry soldiers in the back were clearly clothed and in good spirits. After Guo Huai saw it, he couldn't help but whisper: "Zhao Yun is a talent for governing the army. Zhao Shu nodded, Zhao Yun is indeed a great talent, why did he follow Kong Ming with all his heart? If it's in your own hands, hehe......

Zhao Yun immediately stepped in front of the army, the momentum was compelling, although Zhao Shu had never seen his longboard feat, but when he heard that one person was broken, he forced Sun Huan not to dare to pursue, how brave is this? Zhao Shu walked to the battlements and shouted loudly: "General Zhao led the army back, I have never greeted him from afar, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Zhao Yun urged him to step forward and asked coldly: "The last general heard that His Majesty's holy drive is here, and he has come to escort him." ”

Zhao Shu replied: "Your Majesty is in the city, and I also invite the general to enter the city to meet you." ”

Zhao Yun sneered: "The last general only asks to see Your Majesty here, and I also ask your Excellency to pass it to the Holy Hearing, and ask Your Majesty to move the city tower." ”

It seems that although Zhao Yun is brave, he does not dare to enter the city, and he is more afraid of Zhao Shu than Sun Huan's army, but it also makes Zhao Shu feel a little proud. Just let Liu Bei come to the city tower to see him, if he said a word in public, he wanted to drive back to Chengdu, Zhao Shuke would not be able to get off the stage. Zhao Shu acted as a reason: "Your Majesty is sick in bed and can't go out." And since ancient times, only courtiers have come to see the Lord, how can there be any reason for the Lord to come up and see his subordinates? ”

Zhao Yunnai said: "How did Your Majesty get sick?" Could it be that adults also want to follow the example of filial piety? ”

Licentious. Li Wei was on the side, he couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward and shouted: "You have no evidence and no evidence, so slandering the important ministers of the country? What is the intention? ”

Zhao Yun moved his spear, and the cavalry behind him stepped forward together, entered the city, and shouted: "If you don't let the last general meet Your Majesty today, the last general will have to offend." ”

"Zhao Yun is presumptuous." Before Zhao Shu could answer, he saw a biao army and horses slashed down, and shouted for the leading general: "Your Majesty is in the city, do you want to rebel?" "Regarded, it is Huan Yi.

Zhao Yun looked at Huan Yi coldly, and said disdainfully: "Nobody, dare to be so arrogant?" "On the way to Wuling, Huan Yi met Tianyi and knew about the Wuxi tribe, he had always been good friends with Tianyi and others, so he naturally hated Zhao Yun, and he was even more furious when he heard the words, and he slapped the horse and danced the knife to take Zhao Yun directly. When Zhao Yun saw the ferocity, he didn't dare to be careless, and concentrated on the battle. The two of them fought under the city, the guns were like dragons, the knives were like tigers, and the cheers of the city and the city were continuous.

After all, Zhao Yun is the general of the Five Tigers, and the folk legends of later generations are all "one Lu two Zhao three Dian Wei", although Huan Yi is also a rare fierce general, but he is not Zhao Yun's opponent after all, and after dozens of rounds, he is defeated. Zhao Shu was about to speak, but he heard again: "General Huan, someone is here to help you." But it turned out that Li Wei saw the itching skills, and also went down to the city to join the war group.

Although Li Wei's martial arts are not as good as Huan Yi, he has taken a lot of advantage with two enemies and one, and Huan Yi's disadvantage has been temporarily reversed. Looking at Zhao Yun's fearless appearance in the second battle alone, he became more and more energetic, and after fighting for a while, he actually stabbed Li Wei in the thigh with a shot, and blood flowed immediately. Li Wei was also fierce, and after being injured, the offensive became more and more awesome, and he wanted to die with Zhao Yun.

Zhao Shu no longer had time to marvel at Zhao Yun's bravery, Huan Yi, and Li Wei were both confidants, and they couldn't make a mistake, so they hurriedly shouted loudly: "The three generals live together." ”

Huan Yi saw that Li Wei was injured and knew that he was invincible, so he escorted Li Wei to retreat. Zhao Yun didn't chase either, he immediately shot horizontally, and looked at the two of them coldly, with the momentum of being the only one in the world. Waiting for Huan Yi and the others to lead the troops back into the city, Zhao Yuncai raised his eyes to look at Zhao Shu and said, "What does the general think?" If he could not see His Majesty, the last general would have to order the siege of the city. ”

Huan Yi didn't see any trace of Zhao Yun all the way to the march, and knew that he must have missed it by taking a small road, so he only brought hundreds of light horsemen to help, and the military horses in the city were not Zhao Yun's enemies. What's more, there are still many Sichuan generals in the city, who knows what they plan in their hearts? Zhao Shu was helpless, so he had no choice but to say: "So please wait for the general for a while, I will play for the general Your Majesty, let Your Majesty decide." ”

Zhao Shu saw that Zhao Yun nodded in agreement, so he let Huan Yi guard the palace in the city, and he and Guo Huai went down to the city to Liu Bei's palace. Along the way, Zhao Shu and him were silent, if Liu Bei was allowed to follow Zhao Yun back to Chengdu, it would naturally be very unfavorable to Zhao Shu, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it. Seeing that he was about to approach the palace, he saw a horse coming towards him, and the passenger was Yan Peng, seeing that Zhao Shu and Guo Huai's faces were not safe, he smiled and said: "Is the general worried about Zhao Yun's affairs?" ”

Zhao Shu glanced at him, now the matter is inseparable from Yan Peng, Zhao Shu himself still holds the military power, and he can protect himself for the time being. But he was penniless, and it was not a pity to die, but he was afraid that he was more worried about this matter than Zhao Shu, so he nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Yan Peng said with a smile: "The general is smart for a lifetime, but he is confused for a while." Leaned forward and whispered: "The general has done so much superficial work in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty still does not dare to believe in the general." Could it be that His Majesty firmly believes in Kong Ming? Zhao Yun is now going to welcome His Majesty back to Chengdu, and the general can say goodbye if nothing happens, and he will never leave any difficulty. His Majesty is already a frightened bird at this time, and he is afraid that he will not be able to decide where to go. ”

What Yan Peng said was indeed true, Liu Bei sent someone to Chengdu to report the news, but he didn't feel at ease with Kong Ming, but wanted to use Kong Ming to contain Zhao Shu. If Zhao Shu was willing to give it away, Liu Bei would only be more frightened, and it was unknown if he would stay in Jingzhou if he couldn't say it. Yan Peng's words were thorough, Zhao Shu and Guo Huai both opened the knot, stretched their brows, and met Liu Bei together.

The commander of the forbidden army was replaced by Zhao Shu to Wu Yi, not that he fell to Zhao Shu, but Zhao Shu could not blatantly replace Guo Huai and other cronies, so as not to be truthful, Wu Yi was a relative of the emperor, so he would not oppose it. And this has increased Liu Bei's suspicion of him, and one day he will be forced to take refuge in Zhao Shu.

Liu Bei saw that Guo Huai was wearing full clothes behind Zhao Shu, and his face was extremely unnatural, so he asked, "Qing and the others are coming, I don't know what to do?" ”

Zhao Shu replied: "Your Majesty, Zhao Yun led the attack on Changsha and returned to Jingzhou, just outside the city. ”

After hearing this, Liu Bei's face really relaxed a lot, and he said, "In that case, why don't you announce that you come to see me?" ”

Zhao Shu said again: "General Zhao stationed all his soldiers and horses outside the city, claiming that he wanted to see His Majesty, and if he couldn't see His Majesty, he would attack the city." ”

"It's against him." Liu Bei was furious when he heard this, and then suppressed it and asked, "What Aiqing said, but is it the truth?" Zilong has been with me for a long time, and he will never do such a rebellious thing. ”

Zhao Shu nodded and said, "What Your Majesty said is very true, but General Zhao has no rebellious heart, it is just a matter of righteousness, which is still yesterday." General Zhao also heard that His Majesty was seriously ill, and he was loyal to his subordinates because he was suspicious. Therefore, Weichen dared to ask His Majesty to go out of the city to appease General Zhao. And His Majesty's illness is gradually recovering, Jingzhou is the place of the four wars, and it is not suitable to stay for a long time, so I ask Your Majesty to move back to Chengdu with General Zhao in the near future. lest his subordinates be criticized again. After Zhao Shulang finished speaking, he raised his eyes and peeked at Liu Bei, and sure enough, as Yan Peng said, his face was very solemn, as if there was something important that he couldn't decide.
