Zhao Shu had dinner, and he no longer looked at dealing with government affairs, and went out of the house to Yan Peng's mansion. Yan Peng is going to send an envoy to Soochow tomorrow, although Zhao Shu promised him to go in the court, he still can't rest assured in his heart, so he has to go and tell him again before leaving. Now that the national strength of Shu Han has been greatly damaged, and Ma Zhong in the south has not yet received good news, he really can no longer fight against Dongwu. Yan Peng personally invited him in, and said with a smile: "The general has concerns in his heart, and he has been waiting for a long time. The general has an order, and the subordinate must be remembered. ”

Zhao Shunai asked: "I heard that there was a big surname in Jiangdong in the past, Yan Baihu, I don't know who Shengping is?" Yan Peng replied: "Since the general has guessed, and the lower officials no longer hide it, the first monarch and him are brothers, and they were killed by Sun Ce, because they are not in the same place as the Sun family of Eastern Wu." Between the words, there was a great deal of resentment. Zhao Shu saw his expression, but he was afraid that he would really cause trouble when he went to Dongwu, so he would choose another person to make an envoy tomorrow.

Yan Peng knew that he had the intention of repenting, so he calmed down and said: "The general doesn't have to worry, although the lower officials are dull, they also know that they can't be enemies of Eastern Wu now." It's just that he thinks about his homeland and wants to save it, and he will not embarrass the general. Zhao Shu looked at the other party carefully for a moment, and really didn't know whether to believe it or not, but he was still reluctant to brush him, stretched out his hand to hold Yan Peng and said: "Shengping said this, I am relieved." Tomorrow, remember the words of tonight, and I will not disturb them again. And he took his leave.

The next day, Yan Peng sent an envoy to Eastern Wu, and when Liu Chan brought up the matter of the establishment of the queen again, Zhao Shu no longer objected, and nominated the daughter of the late general Zhang Fei, who could be established as the queen. In this way, many people who opposed the establishment of the post-establishment also changed their words to support it. As we all know, the relationship between the Zhang Erjia and the royal family, and although Zhang Shao is now close to Zhao Shu, he is indeed a close minister by Liu Chan's side, if he opposes it again, it is not only Zhao Shu who will be offended, but also Liu Chan and Zhang Shao. Although Jiang Wan and a few others still opposed, they seemed very lonely, and Liu Chan didn't bother to listen to his few words, and said: "Just follow the general's performance." "Ended all disputes.

After the ministers retreated, Liu Chan summoned Zhao Shu alone and said a lot of words of gratitude. Zhao Shu was also very happy in his heart, since Liu Chan was willing to risk the world's disapproval and was anxious to get married, he was willing to do such a favor, which could not only make Jiang Wan and others disappointed in Liu Chan, but also make Liu Chan more inclined to himself.

Then began to prepare for Liu Chan's wedding ceremony, when Zhao Shu and Guan Feng got married, it was just Liu Bei's words, and then a big banquet, a bow ceremony, and then sent to the cave room to be considered a success. Liu Chan is completely different when he gets married now, since he chooses the auspicious day of the zodiac, and he wants to pay homage to the ancestral temple of heaven and earth, the entire city of Chengdu is very busy. The wedding dragged on for more than half a month before Zhang Shao's sister was sent to the palace, and then the ministers worshiped and congratulated, although Liu Bei had only been dead for a few months, he still had a big wedding banquet. is the so-called "once a son of heaven and a courtier", not many people will still think about the pile of rotten flesh and dry bones bone.

During the banquet, Zhang Shao naturally became the focus of everyone's toasts, but he knew that these were mostly due to Zhao Shu, so he didn't dare to slack off at all, but became more respectful. Since Zhao Shu was injured last time, coupled with excessive grief, he couldn't drink more because of the injury to his internal organs, so he only drank a few drinks with everyone before returning home. Liu Chan's wedding also made Zhao Shu feel even more ashamed of Rong'er, and he was also thinking about picking a day to give her an official title. But Liu Chan dared to act like this, how could Zhao Shu get married during the filial piety of the first emperor?

Back at the general's mansion, Zhao Shu saw a few war horses outside the door, and hurriedly asked the general at the door, who asked to see him, but it turned out that Ma Zhong had a war report from him. Zhao Shu was overjoyed in his heart, he was able to report the good news to Liu Chan from several counties in Nanzhong, but it was the best congratulatory gift, and he hurriedly walked inside, and sure enough, he saw a captain waiting in the hall. When the man saw Zhao Shu entering, he hurriedly bowed and saluted. Zhao Shu helped him up, and when he saw that he was not very old, he asked his name. The other party replied: "Humble Li Qiu." ”

Zhao Shu suddenly remembered that he was Li Hui's nephew, and since his uncle was in front of the army, he must have taken him with him, so he asked with a smile: "How is De'ang doing lately?" Li Qiu suddenly fell to the ground and cried loudly: "I hope that the general will quickly raise troops to avenge his uncle." Zhao Shu was shocked when he heard this, Ma Zhong had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he was even more unprepared, and victory was inevitable, but how could Li Hui die? Zhao Shu hurriedly asked why. Li Qiu then took out Ma Zhongjun's newspaper and offered it with both hands.

Zhao Shu was surprised in his heart, slowly opened it and opened it to see, if he didn't look at it, he was furious after seeing it, and shouted: "How can it be such a loss of soldiers?" "It turned out that the military newspaper actually wrote that the Shu army was defeated, and Li Hui, who joined the army, was killed. Yizhou, Zang Ke, Yueshan, and the three counties rebelled, only Yongchang County refused to obey the thief, and Ma Zhong also retreated to Hanjia County, asking Zhao Shu to send troops to rescue him.

Seeing that he was angry, Li Qiu kowtowed again and again: "General Ma fell for the thieves' tricks by mistake and was led into a heavy encirclement. Zhao Shu knocked on his forehead, thinking that he hated it, Ma Zhong was only famous in history, but in fact, he didn't know much about it, and now that the army was defeated, wasn't it his fault? Naifu helped Li Qiu up and asked in a deep voice: "You must know about the war before the army, but you can come for me one by one." ”

It is said that after Ma Zhong said goodbye to Zhao Shu, he led the army to Yizhou County in a hurry, and repeatedly thought about Zhao Shu's words in his heart, and was very attentive to Yonghong. As for Pingyi County, Yizhou guarded Zhang and led people to greet him. Ma Zhong was very strange, and after careful questioning, he learned that Yonghong was hegemonic in the county, and Zhang Yi only dared to be stationed in Pingyi County, and could not go further south. Although Ma Zhong was very disdainful of Zhang Yi, his face was silent, and he said: "The first emperor unfortunately died, and General Zhao was afraid of injustice in the south, so he sent a certain person to come to inspect. Before leaving, General Zhao once said that Yonghong was a hero of Yizhou County, so he might as well think that he could keep Nanzhong safe. Mr. Zhang can ask people to invite him, saying that he will keep the seal and teach him, and make an appointment to come to the meeting, how about it? ”

Zhang Yi works here every day, all worried about his life, and now he can make Yonghong too guarded, and he can do it to another person, and he is very happy in his heart, and hurriedly repairs a book and sends it to Yonghong, Weixian County. Yonghong, Yizhou is strong, has a wide range of family business, and is friendly with the barbarians, raising thousands of dead soldiers, and the officials in the county are afraid of him. When the envoy of Zhang Yi arrived, Yonghong was having a banquet with Meng Huo, the leader of the visiting Nanban, and when he heard that the people from the Taishou Mansion were coming, he hurriedly asked Meng Huo to temporarily retire before ordering the envoy to come to see him. After the envoy made his intentions clear, Yonghong promised and gave out a generous reward.

Meng Shoufu came out from behind and asked, "Do you really want to go to the banquet?" Yonghong looked at the invitation and replied with a smile: "Naturally, I want to go, I don't want a certain name to have entered the court, since the court intends to reward the knight, what reason is there to refuse?" Meng Shu snorted coldly and said: "You Han people don't have a saying, 'There is no good banquet, there will be no good meeting'." Thou hast gone easily, and thou hast not been afraid of being plotted against him? Yonghong laughed and said, "Then in your opinion, should you rebel with you?" ”
