The shouting and killing sound in Zhu Bao's camp resounded ten miles away, and the sky-high fire could also be seen in the Shu Han military camp from afar. Huan Yi and the others didn't know why, but they were afraid that they had a conspiracy, so they all came to the big tent to find Zhao Shu's plan. Zhao Shu also had to report earlier, but he and the generals climbed the heights and looked, only to see that there were fires everywhere in Zhu Bao's camp, and there were military horses tearing each other apart. The generals saw that this was the case, and they all asked for battle. Zhao Shudu shook his head and refused, knowing that his plan had been accomplished, so he ordered someone to prepare a banquet to celebrate his achievements.

After a while, the battle in the distance gradually subsided, and sure enough, there was a fire dragon winding towards the Han army. Zhao Shunai said to the left and right people: "Princes, follow me to meet Gaoding." "Wait through the door. Gao Ding took people to the front of the village from time to time, but saw that the gate was wide open, and there was a small team of military horses waiting beside him, and he was uncertain and did not dare to go again. Tianyi also knew what he meant, pointed at Zhao Shu from afar, and said, "This General Zhao welcomes the king in person." Gao Ding was even more surprised, and said: "He knows so much that this king is coming? E Huan interjected on the side: "General Zhao is a god, so he can naturally count the surrender of the king." Gao Ding was more afraid, hurriedly dismounted, only took Tianyi, E Huan and a few others stepped forward quickly, bowed to the ground, and surrendered.

Zhao Shu also hurriedly stepped forward, personally helped him up, and said: "The king came to descend, it is really from the will of heaven and the people, and it is a move of great benevolence and wisdom. Gao Ding thanked him repeatedly, and asked E Huan to present Zhu Bao's head, and said: "The contempt clan also does not want to be an enemy of the Celestial Empire, but Zhu Bao and Meng are powerful, so they have to follow." Today, General Meng Tianwei killed this thief, and he will never dare to fight back in the future. Zhao Shu was very happy when he saw the head and knew that the rebels had been cut off, and hurriedly praised Gao Ding's loyalty and bravery, and entered the account side by side with him.

The banquet in the tent had already been set up, and everyone took their seats in turn, raising their glasses and drinking until dawn. Most of Zhu Bao's subordinates were Shu troops, and they were reorganized in the battalion. Zhao Shuzuo asked Gao Ding to be the king of Hanyi, so that he led the tribe back, and then took E Huan as the general of Yamen, and stayed in the army with Tianyi to fight.

Zhao Shu's army did not make the slightest effort, put down two rebellions, and the army and horses rested for a day, because they did not know how the battle in Yongchang was, they continued to march south. On the way, Zhao Shu couldn't help but wonder, and asked Tianyi and E Huan many times, but there was no news of Kong Ming at all. And if Kong Ming is really in Nanzhong, how can he let Zhu Bao and Gao Ding send them to death in front of them, and they don't help each other, wasting their troops in vain? Could it be that the guess was wrong, Kong Ming was not here?

As for the city of Yongchang, the rebels also knew that the Shu Han army was coming and withdrew from the siege. Zhao Shu did not tear it up, so he entered the city. The Taishou King and his wife welcomed him into the house. After the generals sat down, Zhao Shu asked about the rebels. Wang Yan's answer, that is, the rebellion of the Meng Shu brothers, and now seeing Zhao Shu's army going, they retreated south, and there was nothing suspicious. Zhao Shu didn't give up, so he said clearly: "Lord Wang has been refusing thieves for a while, and there is news of Kong Ming in the other party's array. ”

Wang Yan was taken aback, and said in a half-loud voice: "There has been no news of Kong Ming, but the general suspects that Kong Ming is among the rebels?" Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Yes, it's just a suspicion, since there isn't, that's it." Wang Yan's expression was still not relieved, and he asked again: "But someone reported this matter to the general?" Since the other party didn't know Kong Ming's news, Zhao Shu didn't want to say much, but said: "It's just a guess, not a real one." So he didn't mention this topic anymore, but he thought that Meng Shou fled south, and he should get rid of the evil and chase and kill all the time, so he would inevitably need Lu Kai's "Ping Barbarian Finger Map", so he said: "Can your subordinates have the merit of calling Lu Kai?" ”

Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and he got up and replied, "There is indeed such a person, but he died in battle with the thief." Zhao Su suddenly felt a pity, of course it was not Lu Kaiqi, the key was that the drawing was gone, and he sighed repeatedly, it seems that he really caused a lot of changes when he arrived in the Three Kingdoms, but he saw that Wang Yan was trembling violently, and he didn't feel suspicious, and asked: "Why do you look like this?" Wang Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly replied: "It is not good for the lower officials to protect Lu Gongcao, isn't it an adult?" Zhao Shu suddenly laughed and said: "My lord misunderstood, I just heard his name, and I didn't mean anything else." Besides, the two armies are fighting, and casualties are inevitable, how can you blame the adults? Seeing that he was a little relieved, Zhao Shu couldn't help but shake his head secretly, it was really an official who crushed people to death, and he couldn't imagine that the other party was so afraid of him.

Since Lu Kai died in battle, he could only rely on the person in front of him, so Zhao Shu asked what the terrain in the south was, which was suitable for a large army. Wang Yan replied carefully, and finally said: "The counties of Nanzhong have just been decided, and the people's hearts are unstable, and Meng Shu is afraid of the general's might, so he leads his troops away. Just to kill the remnants of the enemy, but there is not much grain and grass in the county, if you raise troops to march south, the wild land, not only is it not easy to raise food, but it is also very difficult to transfer to the rear, I am afraid that the army will not be able to receive food. ”

Zhao Shu deeply felt reasonable, so he frowned and said nothing, thinking about the strategy. Wang Yan then said: "The army is new, why not rest in the county for a while, and then divide the troops to the surrounding counties, one is to calm the people's hearts, and the other is to prepare military rations, what does the general think?" This plan is indeed feasible, Zhao Shu couldn't help but nodded, no matter whether Kong Ming was there or not, he had to be careful, and the grain and grass should not be sloppy, if there was a slight mistake, tens of thousands of people would have to worry about their lives. Zhao Shu called Huan Yi and Ma Zhong, each leading the troops and horses to Yueshan, Yizhou and other counties to raise food, and told him to be careful, and every day he would send someone to report the military situation, if he encountered a rebel, he must not fight, and stick to the spot to wait for help. The two generals were ordered to leave, and Zhao Shu also said goodbye to Wang Yan and returned to the camp, and temporarily stationed in Yongchang.

In the next few days, Zhao Shu did not dare to slack off at all, and sent detectives to investigate the news of Meng Huo's tribe, but there were many mountains and forests in the south, and he couldn't find out why, but it reminded him of Lu Kai and his people. If it is three or two days, Zhao Shu is only in the camp, or inspecting the army, or discussing the strategy of going south with the generals, or laughing and talking with Rong'er, and when the time is passed, he only waits for Huan, and Ma Er will raise food. In addition, Zhao Shu is still thinking about a question, that is, whether Kong Ming is really in Meng Shujun, it is easy to explain if he is not there; If he is, why he doesn't make any moves now, and he doesn't even have the slightest reaction to the defeat of Gao Ding and Zhu Bao's second army, which is really a bit abnormal.

Zhao Shu also thought about whether Kong Ming saw that the Shu Han army was strong, so he avoided it temporarily, so he let Huan and Ma lead the troops away, which was not only to raise food, but also to lure the enemy, as long as Meng Huo's army could fight, he could immediately lead troops to help, which was better than following the back of the barbarian army and entering the barren mountains and mountains in the south. However, Huan Yi and Ma Zhong have visited Malay every day, and there has been no trace of the rebels, which makes Zhao Shu wonder even more, is Meng Shu really scared and hiding in the nest?
