Zhao Shu carried Liu Bei's edict and walked out of the palace happily, Kong Ming betrayed the ****, even if the two of them hated Zhao Shu, they would only hate Kong Ming even more, now they don't have to worry about the remaining generals who are still loyal to Liu Bei, or wait and see to help Kong Ming deal with Zhao Shu. In this way, Zhao Shu's strength is more than Kong Ming's, and now he can start to deploy how to clean him up. If he invited Kong Ming into the city again, he would definitely not dare; Lead the troops to fight out, although he does not have many soldiers and horses, but with a fierce general like Zhao Yun, it is relatively easy to protect him to break through, and if he does not die with one blow, let him escape back to Chengdu, and it will be a big trouble. However, things are not very urgent, looking at Liu Bei's appearance today, he can still last for thirty or fifty days, Zhao Shu will think about it slowly.

I was going to go back to the house, but I remembered that Guan Feng was still there, so I had to turn around and go to Huan Yi's line, and I made do with it for two nights. Huan Yi has been in the army for many years, and he has been very good at martial arts and strategy, and he has been practicing in Jingxiang for a long time, which is enough to support big things, and Guo Huai will be Zhao Shu's left and right arms, but his martial arts are better, and he often takes them with him, and he can be regarded as half a bodyguard. After Tianyi left, the defense of all the soldiers and horses in the White Emperor City was supervised by Huan Yi, and he had to watch Liu Bei's palace from time to time, and it was estimated that he was also very busy, and it became more and more obvious that Zhao Shu's subordinates were not talented enough, and it seemed that they should learn more from Cao Cao and issue a few orders to seek talents.

When he arrived at the barracks, someone first reported that he had entered, and Huan Yi immediately led people out to greet him, and after saluting, he opened his mouth and asked, "How did the general get so idle today?" Of course, Zhao Shu couldn't say that he was hiding from Guan Feng, and said with a smile: "There are some things to discuss with the general, and they will be recorded in the account first." All the way in, Zhao Shu saw that the camp was in order, the sergeant was full of spirit, and his heart was overjoyed, and he praised Huan Yi for governing the army in a good way. When he sat down in the tent, Zhao Shu asked: "The general thinks to himself, with the soldiers and horses in the city, can he be the enemy of Kong Ming and Zhao Yun?" ”

Huan Yi pondered for a moment, and replied: "Zhao Yunshi's tiger general, the last general is quite inferior. But if you let it go, our army will be able to get rid of it. Then he asked, "The general wants to kill these two?" ”

Zhao Shu nodded and said: "Now that we have made peace with the Eastern Wu Army, Cao Wei has just rebelled, and in the short term, there will be no more soldiers and horses." Even if there is a slight change, Boji can stop it in Jingzhou. Kong Ming is a confidant after all, if I don't get rid of it, I can't sleep and eat, not to mention that I have His Majesty's edict in hand. As he spoke, he sent Liu Bei's edict to Huan Yi.

After Huan Yi finished reading it, he took a long breath and said, "Yesterday, I saw the general's expression towards Kong Ming, and the last general really thought that the general listened to Yan Peng's words and wanted to join forces with Kong Ming. Kong Ming has great ambitions, but now he is only weak for a while, and if the general does not get rid of him, he will be a strong enemy of the general in the future. ”

Why didn't Zhao Shu think so in his heart? What Yan Peng said is indeed reasonable, the blame is only for Kong Ming's fame, and joining forces with him, isn't Zhao Shu afraid that he is seeking skin with the tiger and will not die well? Since Huan Yi also thinks like this, he must have made a lot of inquiries about Kong Ming's soldiers and horses outside the city in the past two days, so he might as well ask if he has any high opinions, and he said: "Since the general is consistent with what I think, what good strategies can I teach?" ”

Looking at the overall situation and strategy, Huan Yi may still have a few points, but when it comes to conspiracy and calculating others, it is not his strength. Huan Yi smiled faintly: "General, this is difficult to be the last general." However, if the general really wants the last general to take Kong Ming and Zhao Yun's heads, it is not difficult. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Shu naturally wanted Kong Ming's life, and when he heard him say this, he was overjoyed in his heart, and asked eagerly: "General, let's try to say it." Huan Yi said with a smile: "The general newly occupies the White Emperor, and the people's hearts may not be fully subdued, so you might as well make people surrender to Kong Ming, form a camp and respond internally, and choose a night to attack inside and outside, Kong Ming's camp is mostly newly recruited, and it must be broken." He also sent him farewell to the intersection of the Sichuan Road, and he would not teach the two to escape. ”

Kong Ming has always been wise, this kind of trick may not work, and Zhao Yun is brave, ordinary people are not his generals, and it is useless to send them to his camp. Huan Yi saw that Zhao Shu was silent, and replied: "There is one person who can be in charge of this position today, but I don't know if the general can see it." ”

Huan Yi has been with Zhao Shu for many years, and it is rare to hold a person, Zhao Shu felt very strange, and said: "Who is it?" The general can let him in, and let me see it. Huan Yi hurriedly sent people out of the account, and said Zhao Shudao: "This person has offended the general in the past, but he can only be used, and on the day of the White Emperor, the last general was released but not killed." He should have recommended it to the general, but he was afraid that the general would not tolerate it, and he wanted to make meritorious deeds to atone for his sins, so he went to Kong Ming's army in the middle of his wish to be a general. ”

And such people? Although Zhao Shu is not arrogant, he does not hold grudges, and he really can't think of anyone who has offended him, and he was about to ask, when he heard the sergeant outside: "General Zhang asks to see." Huan Yi shouted to come in, and saw a military general striding in. Zhao Shu raised his eyes and looked at it, it was Zhang Wei, thinking that there was indeed a slight gap with himself, and it was he who was ordered to welcome Zhao Shu to the White Emperor. But Zhao Shu had long forgotten about it, and he didn't want him to linger on it.

Zhang Su stepped forward quickly and saluted: "The last general will see the general, in the past, he had no eyes, offended the general's tiger might, and I hope the general will not blame." Zhang Wei recognized the Ming Fruit, and was known for his bravery, and Ma Zhong were the southern barrier in the late Shu Han Dynasty, and in the absence of a general in Shu, they were also rare talents. What's more, he was originally a subordinate of Fazheng, and now he can vote for Zhao Shu, which will be of great benefit to winning over the Sichuan generals in the future, Zhao Shu hurriedly got up and stepped forward, personally helped Zhang Wei, and said: "The events of the day, I have forgotten about it a long time ago, why should the general be obsessed with it?" Nai feigned anger at Huan Yi and said, "General Zhang voted for me, why don't you report it early?" Is it not your sin to make me so lazy? ”

Zhang Wei was very grateful, and hurriedly said: "It's the last general who has no face to see the general, and it's not General Huan's fault." Huan Yi got up and promised, and said: "In the past few days, the palace has been changeable, and the last general is always in the guard, and the city defense is mostly due to Boqi's help, but the general still doesn't know it." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Shunai asked Zhang Wei to sit down and replied: "With the help of the general, things are harmonious." Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Where is the general's hometown?" Zhang Wei replied: "Bajun Nanchong." Zhao Shu stroked his palms and said with a smile: "I am also from Nanchong, but I was in exile when I was young and have not returned for many years. Isn't it a great blessing in life to meet your hometown in another country? When I see the general today, I feel like a relative. Zhang Wei was more and more pleasantly surprised, and thanked him again and again. Zhao Shu ordered someone to go down to prepare food and drink, and wanted to drink with him. Zhang Wei said: "The last general will offer a plan to the general, and if you want to go to the Kongming camp outside the city, there are many people in the army, so you must not feast." The general can pretend to hold a grudge against the past crimes and take heavy responsibility for them, in order to win the trust of Kong Ming. ”

"This." Zhao Shu deliberately hesitated and said: "Kong Ming has always been cautious, and he will never trust the general, this trip is dangerous, please give up and find another good strategy." Zhang Wei was even more grateful, and bowed down and said: "The last general, General Meng, does not give up, how can he repay without an inch?" If this trip is not dangerous, there is no way to repay the general's favor. ”

Zhao Shu helped him up again and said, "In this case, I can go to the position of general, rush to the back trough to feed the horses, and humiliate the general." The general can come to my tent tonight to assassinate, and then fall out of the city, and I will be seriously injured by my lies, or I can take Kong Ming's letter. Zhang Wei nodded yes, Zhao Shu loudly called people into the tent, scolded Zhang Wei, and ordered him to blast out of the tent, and even Huan Yi also reprimanded, making the whole city know.

That night, Zhang Wei sneaked into Zhao Shu's tent to stab him as promised, and then took a few henchmen to fall out of the city with ropes and went straight to Kong Ming's camp to throw. Kong Ming and Zhao Yun had already fallen asleep, but they could hear the commotion in the city and the fire was bright, so they all hurriedly got up and watched at the gate, not knowing what was happening in the city? In the darkness, he saw a few figures coming towards the camp, and Kong Ming hurriedly ordered a general to take people to investigate.

When he was young, he would take Zhang Wei and wait back, Zhang Wei was originally working in Sichuan, but Kong Ming also recognized it, and when he saw him coming, he was very suspicious and asked him urgently. Zhang Wei stepped forward to pay homage, and told the assassination one by one, and finally said: "Zhao Shu is seriously injured, and he will have to stay in bed for several months if he does not die." Since he is incompatible, the last general is willing to follow the prime minister, saddle before and after the horse, for the drive. ”

Kong Ming looked at Zhang Wei coldly, and after listening to him, he suddenly smiled and said to Zhao Yundao: "I sincerely make peace with Zhao Shu, but he makes people try me, isn't it chilling?" Zhang Wei asked, exclaiming: "Why did the prime minister say this?" Kong Mingfu smiled and said: "The general can go back to the city and tell General Zhao that I sincerely want to live with him, and don't use this trick again to hurt each other's harmony." ”

Zhang Weinai suddenly said: "It turns out that the prime minister actually conspired with Zhao Shu? The last general will be blind, and then he will take his leave. Then he turned and led them away. Kong Ming waved his hand to surround a few people, and said coldly: "Since you are really an enemy of General Zhao, I should bind him into the city to show his heart." When the soldiers heard this, they all wanted to step forward. Zhang Yinai laughed and said: "The prime minister treats Zhao Shu like this, but he doesn't know that Zhao Shu secretly wants to harm the public? Nai took out an edict from his arms, threw it to Kong Ming, and said with a sharp smile: "When a certain assassination of Zhao Shu, I saw that there was this edict on his case, and I knew that he wanted to return the prime minister, but the thief thought it was the step to enter the body, and I didn't mean that the prime minister was afraid of Zhao Shu like a tiger." Even if the prime minister goes to a certain head, he may not be able to exchange his own life. ”

Kong Ming was shocked when he heard this, and took the edict, judging from the firelight, it was indeed the edict issued by Liu Bei, and he ordered Zhao Shu to deal with Liu Yongjiao's edict with full authority, and there were many words that implied himself in the middle. Now Zhao Shu's army is nearly 30,000 in the White Emperor, and there are troops led by Wu Yi in the south of the city, the enemy and I don't know, but Kong Ming only has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, how can he not be shocked when he sees this edict?

Kong Ming learned that Huang Yuan had led troops to the east in Chengdu, so he felt that there was fraud in it, and hurried to the White Emperor City, but he was still a step late, and asked Zhao Shu to take Liu Bei under control first. Fortunately, Kong Ming was slightly prepared, so that people invited Liu Bei's two sons to come together, so he told Liu Yongjin that Zhao Shu was plotting rebellion and wanted to harm Liu Bei, saying that he would move him into the city to persuade Liu Bei to issue an edict, accusing Zhao Shu of being a traitor. If there is an edict in hand, Kong Ming can protect the crown prince Liu Chan, spread the word to the counties, recruit himself and the soldiers loyal to Liu Bei, come to the king of Qin, advance to eradicate Zhao Shu, retreat can also protect the land of Xichuan. didn't want to talk to Zhao Shu, Yan Peng proposed that the two of them work together, so they were more moved, and Zhao Shu seemed to be willing to do so, plus Liu Yongshilu, Kong Ming had no choice but to give up **** and want to join hands with Zhao Shu, although it was only an expedient measure, there was also a lot of unwillingness in his heart. I don't want Zhao Shuming to perfunctory himself, but secretly asked Liu Bei for an edict, if Zhang Wei didn't say it, how could Kong Ming know?

Now that Kong Ming has offended **** again, it is undoubtedly the loss of Shangyong Huo Yi, Hanzhong Wang Ping and some generals loyal to Liu Bei, and the situation is even worse than before. Kong Ming himself often calculates others, so he is really calculated by Zhao Shu, he is angry and hateful, gently waved his subordinates, and said, "Take General Zhang down to settle down." ”

Zhao Yun also read the edict next to him, and when he saw Zhang Wei leaving, he said: "With this edict, it is enough to prove that Zhao Shu wants to get rid of the prime minister quickly, but it cannot prove Zhang Wei's intentions." Kong Ming nodded and said, "This Zhao Shu wants to get rid of me, and he is afraid of the general's prestige." but let it deceive me, so that the inside should be combined with the outside, and it will be destroyed in one fell swoop. ”

Zhao Yunfu asked: "If this is the case, can the prime minister have a plan for it?" Kong Ming shook his head and sighed: "Now that Zhao Shu has a lot of soldiers, and His Majesty is in hand, it is really not suitable to be an enemy." You can borrow Zhang Wei's mouth to temporarily stabilize his heart. Zhao Yun said again: "Why don't you return to Chengdu and find a good plan." Kong Ming still shook his head and said, "If he escorts His Majesty back to Beijing together, can we close the door?" And although the people of Chengdu take it orally to me, how do they know their hearts? Once you and I retreat, everyone will inevitably be panicked, suspecting that I am not Zhao Shu's opponent, but it will be inconvenient. Speaking of this, Kong Ming looked back at the White Emperor City and said, "Why don't you fight with him here." ”

Zhao Yun hurriedly asked, "What does the prime minister want?" Kong Mingnai said: "Tomorrow, Li Hui will enter the city to visit Zhao Shu's injury, and by the way, because the food and grass in the camp are inconvenient, he will be stationed in Badong County." Choked the road into Sichuan, and the reincarnator went to Chengdu to ask the Zhengfang to come to help with the soldiers of Chengdu, and secretly sent people to Jingzhou to contact Bo Miao to disturb him. Zhao Yun raised his eyes to look at Kong Ming, and suddenly said, "In this way, wouldn't Jingzhou be dangerous?" Kong Ming shook his head again, but he didn't speak, in his heart, he didn't want to lose Jingzhou, but he didn't want to lose even Yizhou.

Early the next morning, Li Hui went to the city on behalf of Kong Ming to investigate Zhao Shu's injuries. Zhao Shu had no choice but to lie on the bed and pretend to be ignorant, and Huan Yi dealt with it on his behalf. Li Hui proposed that Kong Ming should move troops to Badong County, but Huan Yi didn't ask at all, just said that the general was injured and he couldn't go out of the city to see him off, and asked him to ask him to plead on his behalf. The two talked for a while, Li Hui got up to say goodbye, and Huan Yi personally sent it to the city before returning.

When Huan Yi entered the account again, Zhao Shu had already sat up, lying on the bed not only unable to move at all, but also trying to hold his breath, his breathing was weak, and he was not far from death, which really forced Zhao Shu to feel tight. Huan Yi said about Kong Ming's transfer of troops again, and said: "Does Kong Ming believe Zhang Wei like this?" ”

Zhao Shu chuckled and said, "With Kong Ming's prudence, he will definitely not trust Zhang Wei." Besides, I don't want him to believe it. Huan Yi was quite surprised, and asked anxiously: "What is the purpose of the general to send Zhang Wei there?" Zhao Shu laughed a few times and said, "I asked Zhang Wei to go because I wanted Kong Ming to feel that White Emperor City was the place where I made a decision with him." Suddenly got up and said to Huan Yi, Zhengse: "If I entrust the White Emperor and His Majesty to the general, can the general stay for a long time?" ”

Huan Yi saw that Zhao Shu said solemnly, so he bowed down and said: "The general entrusts this important task to the last general, and the last general will deserve his life, and he is in the city, and he is also in the dead city." ”
