Chapter 298 to Hanzhong to persuade Wei Yan

Although Huan Yi is not as wise as Kong Ming and less brave than Zhao Yun, but in the case of absolute superiority in troops, sufficient grain and grass, and Kong Ming did not dare to rashly attack, there is no problem in guarding the White Emperor City on behalf of Zhao Shu. Immediately, Zhao Shu asked him to select a few henchmen and warriors, and after dark, he quietly left the city with Zhao Shu, and immediately sent people to Jingzhou to recruit Guo Huai to bring troops over, of course, this was just to confuse Kong Ming and make him feel that Zhao Shu was going to transfer Jingzhou's troops into Sichuan. Huan Yi knew that Zhao Shu was going to take the risk alone, so he didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest, so he hurriedly went to choose among his personal guards.

After a while, Huan Yi brought ten sergeants into the account, all of whom were soldiers of a hundred battles, enough to be ten. A few of them have good faces, they are the old department of Huan Yi gathering the mountains and forests back then, and they can be regarded as the old department from Zhao Shu for many years, and they have all contributed to the captain, and their loyalty is beyond doubt. After Zhao Shu looked at them one by one, he ordered him to go back to the tent during the day to rest and prepare, and the third watch was ordered again.

After everyone dispersed, Huan Yi said again: "This trip is very dangerous, the general can send Ye Feng to go on his behalf, it is really not appropriate to get involved in danger in person." Zhao Shu still shook his head and said: "He is very high-spirited, pretentious, and can't say anything unless he goes to me." Kong Ming did not have many soldiers, and it was easy to kill, but it was very difficult to stabilize the middle of the Sichuan and not let Wei Wu and others take the opportunity to enter. Success or failure in this move, I should go, but there is still a little bit of old love with him, and it is okay to forgive. However, in the White Emperor City, the slightest rumor cannot be leaked, and the general must be more attentive. Huan Yi had persuaded many times, but seeing that Zhao Shu insisted on refusing, he had to withdraw from the account.

Tonight, I was going to travel overnight, and Zhao Shu also planned to go up and sleep for a while, but when he saw Huan Yi coming, he said, "Madame came to visit the general's injury." "Didn't Zhao Shu strictly order her not to leave the house? Ye Feng, this kid, this little thing can't be done properly. Zhao Shu hurriedly lay down on the collapse and continued to pretend to be unconscious.

After a while, there was a sound of broken footsteps, and Huan Yi said, "I've seen Madame." Guan Feng walked to Zhao Shu's side without answering, and when he visited him for a short time, he asked, "How is the general's injury?" The tone was quite concerned, and the friendship with Zhao Shu did not change after all, but the position was different, and it was destined to be deceived and deceitful, of course, Zhao Shu deceived her mostly.

Huan Yi hurriedly replied: "Tianya has come to see it, and there is no worry about his life, he just needs to recuperate." Guan Feng replied lightly, and said, "General Huan, can I be alone with him for a while?" Huan Yi naturally didn't dare to disobey and turned around to leave the account. Zhao Shu felt a soft hand gently caress his face, and suddenly it was cold, a teardrop fell on Zhao Shu's face, and he heard Guan Feng mutter: "Why are you here?" If you are in Jingzhou, how can you suffer from this great disaster? If you are good, how can I be good? ”

In recent years, it is rare for Zhao Shu and Guan Feng to have such a sensual statement, and they really think that there is no affection for each other, and now her true feelings are revealed, which makes Zhao Shu's heart feel hot, and he can't help but reach out and hold her. Guan Feng was taken aback and said, "You ......." ”

Zhao Shu sighed silently in his heart, he was destined not to achieve great things in his life, and a little daughter's affection was exposed. Zhao Shu still held her, sat up, looked at her and said softly: "I have never been injured, you don't have to worry." So he wiped the tears from her face. Guan Feng looked at Zhao Shu, came back to his senses after a while, slapped Zhao Shu hard, and said, "You want people to worry about death." ”

Zhao Shu sighed and said, "I just want to hide it from Kong Ming." Guan Feng said suddenly: "Isn't that Zhang Wei going to Kong Ming's place?" "Guan Feng and Lu Rong are both wise women among women, and they are both talented and beautiful, and they can be regarded as the convincing that Zhao Shu has cultivated for several lifetimes. Zhao Shu nodded and said, "If Kong Ming is not removed, I will not be able to sleep in peace, but Zhao Yun is so brave that he has no choice but to set up this plan." ”

"Then ......" Guan Feng hesitated, but still asked, "After you get rid of Kong Ming, how will you treat Your Majesty and the crown prince?" Zhao Shu knew that she was worried that I would usurp the Liu family's world, so she smiled and said, "Do you think that if I become the emperor, will I be the emperor of Mingjun?" Seeing that she was shocked, she hurriedly said: "After removing Kong Ming, Your Majesty is still Your Majesty, the prince is still the prince, I will not and dare not do Cao Pi's thing, and try my best to assist." Guan Feng was a little unconvinced, uncertain, and asked, "Do you dare to swear?" ”

Don't say that Zhao Shu doesn't believe in any oath, even if he believes it, Zhao Shu dares to mess around, the reason why Shu Han can exist for decades without dying is because orthodox ideas can still play some role. In history, Kong Ming was in power, but he was not called the emperor, and even Li Yan refused to ask him to add a prince, just to return to the Central Plains in the name of orthodoxy. If the emperors of Shu Han are not surnamed Liu, why should they say that Cao Wei is a usurper? Zhao Shu has always thought that his intelligence is not as good as Kong Ming, but now he only has some advantages, and it is also because Zhao Shu can take a little advantage, it is estimated that although Kong Ming thinks that Liu Bei is inappropriate to attack Wu, he can't imagine that Liu Bei will lose so quickly and so miserably. Calling the emperor something that even Kong Ming didn't do, how dare Zhao Shu do it?

At that moment, Zhao Shu made a few heavy oaths, which relieved Guan Feng, said more good things, and persuaded her to go back to the house, so he ordered someone to call Ye Feng and blamed her. Ye Feng said with an aggrieved face: "Madame heard that the general was assassinated, she must come to visit, how can her subordinates stop it?" "Zhao Shu thinks about it, but tonight Zhao Shu is going to leave the White Emperor City, Guan Feng will come back in the future, wouldn't it be revealing? Zhao Shu looked at Ye Feng, and suddenly burst into a wicked smile, Ye Feng was puzzled, and said, "General, you ......"

Zhao Shu stepped forward and whispered: "In order to give you an excuse to stop, I have to wronged you today." ?.?" Then he shouted loudly: "Come on, pull Ye Feng out and punish the fifty military sticks." He patted Ye Feng on the shoulder again and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's still the same as beating you in Wuxi before." Then a sergeant entered the tent and dragged Ye Feng out to be punished. This time, Ye Feng was "beaten" heavily, and Guan Feng was not able to force it out again, although he must complain about Zhao Shu's ruthlessness in his heart, he couldn't take care of it.

Hanzhong is bordered by Wei in the north, which is the gateway to Xichuan, and its geographical location is very important. After Liu Bei captured it, he left a heavy army to defend, and even if he went east to attack Wu, he did not dare to draw soldiers and horses from Hanzhong. The Central Plains of Hanzhong was garrisoned by Wei Yan, the general of Zhenbei, and later in the matter of Jingfa Zheng, Liu Bei promoted Wang Ping to general, stationed in Chenggu, and divided the power of Wei Yan. At that time, Liu Bei had just removed Fa Zheng and cut off Zhao Shu's soldiers and horses, and he was in power, and Wei Yan had no choice but to swallow his own bitterness, and he didn't dare to argue.

Although Liu Bei has been using troops for many years, he doesn't even understand the superficial truth that generals need to be unified, and divides the defense of Hanzhong into two. Fortunately, in recent years, Wei has not been at peace and has no ability to fight abroad, so Wei Yan's worries have not become a reality. Now I heard that Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition was defeated, and the 100,000 troops were killed and wounded, which made Wei Yan worried again, if Wei took the opportunity to attack, what should it do?

Wei Yan has sent people to invite Wang Ping many times, wanting to discuss the defense matter, but he can't shirk it, this can't be blamed on Wang Ping, in such a situation, who dares to be gullible? Wei Yan had no choice but to strictly order his subordinates to organize their troops and horses to prepare for war, just in case. Later, Liu Bei stayed in the White Emperor, Huang Yuan rebelled, Kong Ming personally led troops to the east, and sent people to summon Wei Yan, wanting to ask him to transfer some troops to help, but he politely refused.

Wei Yan has been in Hanzhong for five years, and on this land, he has not only sweated, but also blood, and has deep feelings. Every day, when Wei Yan inspected the city defense of Nanzheng and looked at the land in all directions, he would like to see his own children, full of love, and secretly swore in his heart that if he was in him for one day, he would guard Hanzhong for one day, and he would not be taken by other countries. Now that the country has just been hit hard, it is not as good as when it was in its heyday, coupled with Zhao Shu's words that day, it was deeply seared into his heart, Wei Yan didn't care about Kong Ming, and if there was anything between Zhao Shu, keeping Hanzhong was his first priority.

On this day, Wei Yan came back from patrolling, and just got off the horse and wanted to enter the mansion, but he heard someone shouting on the side of the road: "Wen Chang doesn't know the old man? The voice was extremely familiar, Wei Yan shook his body, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Zhao Shu standing with a smile, and hurriedly looked left and right, fortunately, they were all confidants, Nai Qiang smiled and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhao, please." ”

Wei Yan was not called General Zhao Shu, because he was afraid of revealing his identity and causing a lot of inconvenience, so Zhao Shu immediately stepped forward and entered with him. When he came to the hall, after Wei Yan made someone serve tea, he retired from the generals, and Zhao Shu also asked the attendants to retreat, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, and the more powerful Wen Chang is." Wei Yan naturally knew that Zhao Shu came to Hanzhong, so he definitely didn't say these kind words to him, but said in a deep voice: "I heard that the general was in charge of Jingzhou in Hanzhong, why did he have time to come to Hanzhong?" ”

Zhao Shu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Wen Chang, I don't hide it, I came to Hanzhong to ask for something." Wei Yan looked at Zhao Shu again, and suddenly smiled: "The general is proud of the spring breeze in Jingzhou, what can he do to help?" Zhao Shu didn't answer and asked: "If Cao Hong raises troops to invade Hanzhong now, how sure can the general realize the heroic words of the past?" This sentence asked Wei Yan's sore spot, and he bowed his head for a moment before saying: "If there is no accident, although you can't win, you can also be undefeated." ”

Zhao Shu laughed a few times and asked, "What if there is an accident?" If Chenggu Wang Ping does not obey Wen Chang's orders and fights separately, how can Wen Chang retreat from the enemy? Wei Yan's face changed again, and he said for a long time: "I should do my best, but I can't care about others." ”

If it was really for the country and the people, Wei Yan should have replied that he would try his best to negotiate reconciliation with Wang Ping, and was even willing to hand over military power, but he was arrogant and would only think about ordering Wang Ping, and would definitely not think of following Wang Ping's orders. Zhao Shu restrained his smile and said: "There can be no two generals in the army, and there can be no two decrees in the country, between me and Kong Ming, the decision is now." I'm here today ......"

Wei Yan got up suddenly, interrupted Zhao Shu's words, and said: "What is the relationship between the general and Kong Ming, Yan doesn't dare to hear more, Hanzhong is busy with affairs, forgive hospitality, the general please take care of yourself." Zhao Shu also stood up, looked at Wei Yan coldly, and said, "Isn't it unwise for Wen Chang to wait for me to finish speaking, and then expel the guest first?" I think of the old friendship with Wen Chang, how to treat each other? ”

Wei Yan's face moved slightly, and Zhao Shu said again: "If Wen Chang thinks that the two don't help each other, it is the way to protect one's self." Stealing is extremely stupid, and the White Emperor doesn't know the situation? I am in charge of tens of thousands of Jingxiang, and the soldiers of Xichuan were all lost in a battle. I also have the holy order of His Majesty, and between him and Kong Ming, who wins or loses, the chief can reflect on himself. ”

Wei Yannai sighed: "In the past, the general said many times that he should not participate in the affairs of the court, but now why is he going back on his word? And since the general can defeat Kong Ming, why do you need to come to Hanzhong in person to find someone? Zhao Shu knew that Wei Yan still had doubts in his heart, after all, he had turned his back on Zhao Shu at the beginning, and now he was connected to Kong Ming, one was afraid of being infamous for being capricious, and the other was afraid that Zhao Shu would settle accounts in the next autumn. Now the elite division that Kong Ming can rely on is only Wei Yan, who can bring Wei Yan over, then Hanzhong will be stable and Xichuan will be protected, so Zhao Shu has to come to lobby in person.

Wei Yan is not really a person who "has a backbone in the back of his head", and he also knows that after Zhao Shu persuaded him to surrender in Changsha, he was very courteous. Later, Wei Yan would not hesitate to state to Zhao Shu the factional disputes under Liu Bei, and persuade Zhao Shu to seek more strategies for self-preservation, if it wasn't for Zhao Shu trapped in Xu Du, how could he rely on Kong Ming? In the White Emperor City, Zhao Shu also said a few words to him with a shameful face, which is enough to show that he is not an unrighteous person. Otherwise, Zhao Shu would come to meet him, and he could take Zhao Shu down and send it to Kong Ming, why bother to let Zhao Shu have so many tongues?

Zhao Shu persuaded again: "Today's trend, first, if Wen Chang helps Kong Ming, the victory or defeat is unpredictable, the most likely is the division of Sichuan and Chu, but what Wen Chang wants?" Second, if the two don't help each other, Kong Ming's soldiers and horses are not as good as me, and they will inevitably be defeated, but I am afraid that it will take a long time, and the country has just been defeated by Jiangxia, can it go through war again? Third, if Wen Chang helps me, Kong Ming will be defeated, and without waiting for Wei Wu to have news, the situation can be stabilized, and both Sichuan and Chu will be protected. Wen Chang still reverted to Hanzhong, Boji is good at protecting Jingzhou, I Zuo is the lord in Xichuan, widely administering Ming government, accumulating war preparations, and waiting for Cao Wei to change, you can enter the Central Plains, this immortal business also. Isn't it the ambition of the chief? ”

These choices are indeed the internal facts of Shu Han now, and now they are all in Wei Yan's thoughts. Wei Yanfu sat down again, thought about it for a long time, his face changed again and again, and suddenly asked: "A certain old day has many negative generals, is it really strange that the general?" Zhao Shu laughed after hearing this, knowing that Wei Yan was already willing to help him, but he must know that Zhao Yun was the only one left among the five tiger generals, but he died with Kong Ming. Wei Yan is resourceful and brave, how can Zhao Shu not have to settle it? So Zhao Shu took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and said, "I am willing to borrow Wenchang's sword to use." ”

Wei Yan knew that Zhao Shu didn't know martial arts, so he was not afraid, so he drew his sword and handed it over. After Zhao Shu took it, he cut his finger and swore by dripping blood that he would never go against each other. Wei Yan's heart suddenly opened, he was overjoyed, and immediately bowed down and sighed: "The general's mind is really very human. From today on, Wei Yan's life will be paid for the general. ”

Zhao Shu didn't care about the pain in his hand, hurriedly helped him up, and said: "Don't do this, in the future, we will work together to achieve great things." Wen Chang and I should be brothers. Wei Yan repeatedly humbled and refused, so he called him his brother, he couldn't refuse, so he had to respond, but he didn't dare to call Zhao Shu his brother. The two sat down again, and Wei Yannai said: "The general came alone in danger, and he will never just let a certain soldier not move, there must be other plans, but it can be said." ”

Zhao Shu rubbed the wound on his hand at this time, and said in his heart, you were bought by me for bleeding, of course it won't be so simple.
