Chapter 336: Gifting a picture scroll to a talented woman and martyrdom
Huang Yueying is not a beauty, but she is indeed a talented woman, all she left for Zhao Shu were three picture scrolls, a pair of "crossbows", one shot and ten arrows; A pair of "wooden cows" and a pair of "flowing horses" are all things for transporting grain. Exquisite, even Zhao Shu, who has learned the structure in later generations, is also breathtaking, and he feels inferior. With the repeating crossbow, the combat effectiveness of the Shu Han army against the Cao Wei cavalry could be greatly enhanced; With wooden oxen and flowing horses, they are not afraid of the difficulties of Shu Road, and they can move the grain and grass in Sichuan with the army. This is all a magic weapon for Shu Han to compete for the world and compete with Wei Wu. Rong'er didn't know the value of the patterns on the scroll very well, she just looked at Zhao Shu staring at her silently, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "It's late at night, you still haven't rested?" ”
Looking at the picture scroll in his hand, Zhao Shu admired this strange woman more and more, and Huang Yueying's last sentence had faintly revealed her will to die. Zhao Shu had the intention to chase after the house to persuade him, but most women in this era have to do their best for their husbands, so what reason can he have to persuade him? Kong Ming's death, Zhao Shu was indeed happy in his heart, but Huang Yueying's death, Zhao Shu felt a little regretful, such a character should not be so suciful. At this moment, Zhao Shu no longer had the passion just now, but just let Rong'er go to rest first, but he still had to sit in the room for a while. Although Rong'er was a little unhappy in her heart, she didn't want to disobey Zhao Shu's intentions, so she left slowly.
That night, Zhao Shu was sad about Huang Yueying's death, and he didn't feel sleepy, so he carefully studied the things painted on the map. However, the objects on the drawings are exquisitely constructed, and there is no detailed explanation, even if Zhao Shu has some skills, it is only at dawn that he can see the reason. Zhao Shu just got up and moved his muscles and bones, but when he saw Rong'er carrying water inside, his face was a little tired, thinking that he had not slept peacefully last night. Zhao Shu felt slightly sorry in his heart, and he didn't know how to talk about it, so he had to greet him with a smile.
After breakfast, Zhao Shu didn't go to court, just changed into plain clothes and went straight to Zhuge Mansion. When I got to the gate of the house, I saw two big carts outside, each with a coffin on it, and a group of subordinates were finally packing up, and they were about to set off. Zhao Shu knew that Huang Yueying must have been martyred, so he strode in front of Zhuge Qiao and asked, "Where does Bo Song want to go?" Zhuge Qiao knew Zhao Shu, although the tears were not dry, but he hurriedly replied: "My mother has left a will, and I want to be buried in Longzhong Township with my father." Qiao was about to go to ask the general for convenience, but he didn't want the general to come in person. ”
Nanyang is now occupied by Cao Wei, and the remains of Kong Ming and his wife are indeed inconvenient to be transported for burial. Zhao Shu was grateful for the wisdom of Huang Yueying's gift, and immediately agreed, so he asked people to take pen and ink, write down documents, use the general's seal, and hand them over to Zhuge Qiao for passage in Shu Han. After Zhuge Qiao thanked him, Zhao Shu personally burned incense for Kong Ming and his wife, and then escorted the coffin out of the city, and went to the city to see the carriage and horses go away.
Zhao Shu was still sentimental about Kong Ming and the others, but he heard someone behind him: "The general turned out to be here." Turning his head, it was Yan Peng. Yan Peng was ordered to send an envoy to Soochow, and he had already returned to Chengdu, and the matter of the peace discussion also made people report Zhao Shu, but after all, he never reported it in person. Yesterday, Zhao Shu returned to the court, and Yan Peng went to the general's mansion early this morning to ask for a meeting, but the family general told him to find the city gate all the way. Although Zhao Shu knew that Sun Quan had promised to abandon the old grudges with Shu Han and form a new alliance, he did not ask in detail about the specifics, so he opened his mouth to inquire.
Yan Peng also carefully informed Zhao Shu of this trip, which was nothing more than saying that Sun Quan also knew that Shu and Wu were weak, and Cao Weiqiang had the intention to form an alliance, so that the world would be divided into three points and stand on his feet. These are also in Zhao Shu's expectations, Sun Quan is indeed the master of Ming, the lord of Ying, understands the truth that Shu and Wu are dependent on each other, and will definitely not disagree with the reconciliation of the two families. Yan Peng talked endlessly, finished talking about the matter, and saw that Zhao Shu looked satisfied, so he said again: "Although this alliance has been formed, Xiaguan Jiangdong and his party are quite touching. Zhao Shu didn't understand what he meant, and asked with his eyes, so he listened to Yan Peng continue: "This time, Xia Guan Jiangdong and his entourage, appreciate the demeanor of Lieutenant General Wu, and Sun Quan's posture of a dragon and tiger, but I am afraid that he is definitely not a person under the people, and he will inevitably ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan." If Sun Quan is also the emperor, what will the general do? ”
When Shu Han claimed to be orthodox and Sun Quan was proclaimed emperor, there were also some people in the court who felt that they should be treated as rebellious and cut off relations. But Kong Mingli overrode public opinion and still advocated friendly relations with Eastern Wu, and Zhao Shu naturally would not turn his face with Sun Quan because of the false name of an emperor, so he smiled and did not answer. With Yan Peng's ability, he could understand what he meant, so he didn't ask anymore, and said: "There is another matter, the general needs to pay attention." After Lu Xun's victory in Jiangxia, he won the trust of Sun Quan, added the general of the auxiliary state, sealed the Marquis of Jiangling, and engraved the seal of the Marquis of Wu to deliver it, and presided over the defense of the counties of Jiangxia. This person has millions of male soldiers in his chest, and he is so valued by Sun Quan, he is really a fierce enemy. ”
Zhao Shu still just looked at Yan Peng with a smile, and did not interject, and after he finished speaking, he lazily said: "Lu Xun is indeed my lifelong enemy. Shengping has made outstanding contributions this time, and I should repay His Majesty and reward him generously. Yan Peng hurriedly thanked him, and said a few more casual words before saluting and leaving. Zhao Shu kept watching Yan Peng leave, the smile on his face gradually faded, but there was a ruthless meaning in his eyes, and he sighed lightly for a long time, and when he turned to look outside the city, Zhuge Qiao and his party had long since disappeared.
Huan Yi led the lieutenant and was responsible for the defense of Chengdu, and when he heard that Zhao Shu had sent people out of the city early in the morning, he also hurried over, and happened to hear Yan Peng and Zhao Shu talking. Seeing Zhao Shu like this, Huan Yi also knew what he meant, but he didn't want to mention it more, so he stepped forward and asked, "What does the general think about Lu Xun's matter?" Zhao Shu snorted lightly and said, "Since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have trusted each other, but there are people who use the monarch's seal instead of ministers?" The more Sun Quan gestured to the world like this and favored Lu Xun, he was afraid that the more suspicious he was in his heart. Shu and Wu formed an alliance, the garrisons of several counties in Jiangxia were transferred to the north, and most of the Wu army was deployed to defend the Huainan line. If Sun Quan really reuses Lu Xun, with his talents, he can be stationed in Shouchun, but why should he use Sun Heng, the newly promoted general of Jianwu? After finishing speaking, Zhao Shu couldn't help but sigh, looked at the southeast from afar, and muttered: "Lu Xun is a scholar, but he is a general, and I don't know if I can fight in the future." ”
Huan Yi felt that what Zhao Shu said was very true, so he hesitated again: "That party just ......" Zhao Shu snorted and said, "Can't you say that Yan Peng can't see it?" I don't have to be honest with him in everything, or he will doubt me even more with his heart. It is only with such reservations that he will be at peace in his heart. Huan Yi nodded slowly, but couldn't help but ask again: "What does the general want?" Zhao Shu just shook his head and didn't answer, and in his eyes, the killing intent was even stronger, and he only looked at Huan Yi coldly.
After another moment, Zhao Shu heard the sound behind him, turned his head and saw Ye Feng hurriedly running up to the city, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "How is the matter?" Ye Feng's face suddenly felt ashamed, and he buried his head and said, "I'll wait to be a step late, Ma Dai has already fled first, and he doesn't know where to go." Zhao Shu lowered his "oh" sound, and Mu Ran said: "Since you have escaped, let him go." Meng Qi didn't want Ma to be the last one. ”
Yang Yi is Kong Ming's confidant, and Zhao Shu naturally wants to ask him about Ma Chao, confirming that Ma Dai did join Kong Ming's command that day and murdered his brother. Ma Chao knew it, but he didn't want to hurt Ma Dai, so he sent a book to Zhao Shu, hoping to take care of his brother. Zhao Shu got Yang Yi to confess, and he had the intention to get rid of Ma Dai. But it was Ma Dai who knew the opportunity, and expected that Yang Yi would be exposed, so he fled one step earlier. Since this was the case, Zhao Shu didn't want to persecute too much, so he ordered Ye Feng and the others to stop the pursuit.
The morning sun is rising, reflecting the water of the moat, Zhao Shu can't help but think of the sentence "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water, Waves Sweeping Away Heroes". It has been ten or five years since he returned to the Three Kingdoms, and all the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Shu, have also been taught, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, the governor of Eastern Wu, Zhang Liao, Cao Ren, Cao Wei, the famous generals, as well as the five tiger generals of Shu Han, and Zhuge Kongming, who has just gone. Among these people, Zhao Shu admires, Zhao Shu is close, and Zhao Shu hates, but now they are just a coffin and a piece of loess. Battlefield battle, sword and sword; Intrigue and intrigue are also bloody, no matter what, Zhao Shu survived in the end. Zhao Shu was very glad that he could see the sun today, but he didn't know if the light of the morning sun could still shine on his face......
