Zhao Shu didn't really understand Huan Yi's intentions, but between Shu Han and Cao Wei, they had been fighting for many years, and Zhao Shu was not willing to use swords. Moreover, the national strength of Shu Han is far less powerful than that of Cao Wei, and with the wisdom of Kong Ming, he is still a hatred of Qishan, let alone himself? But Huan Yi and the others will be idle for many years, with this great opportunity, how can they easily let go of such a great opportunity? Zhao Shu was about to open his mouth to appease, but he didn't want the outside generals to come in again to tell him, so Guo Huai in Jingzhou sent someone to ask for a meeting.

At this time, it was not the New Year's holiday, and Guo Huai should not have sent someone to Chengdu if there was no emergency military situation. After listening to the report, Zhao Shu was slightly stunned, and said that there was something wrong in Jingzhou, but then he immediately understood, and said secretly: It's so fast. Then the family will attract people in. In a few moments, a military general followed the general. Zhao Shu expected that Guo Huai sent someone to come because he learned that the Lord of Wei had died, and he had the intention of starting a war with Cao Wei, because he didn't want to explain his mind to Huan Yi first, and wanted to wait for someone to come together, so as not to say the same thing twice.

When someone came into the room, Zhao Shu casually raised his eyes, but he was even more surprised. It was not someone else, it was Guo Huai, the Jingxiang coach of Shu Han after Guan Yu, but his face was slightly disguised, but with Zhao Shu's friendship with him, he naturally recognized it at a glance, and hurriedly got up to meet him, and said, "How did Boji come here in person?" Guo Huai smiled slightly, took two steps back, saluted and said, "The last general has seen the general." Zhao Shu helped him up with both hands, and said with a long smile: "Why does Boji need to make this big gift? Guo Huai said with a straight face: "There are different positions, and the etiquette cannot be abolished." Then he smiled and said: "After the national ceremony, the younger brother will congratulate the eldest brother." ”

Seeing the ridiculous smile on Guo Huai's face, Zhao Shu immediately understood that he must have heard some news about himself and Miss Zhang's family after entering the city, so he smiled bitterly: "This is not what I want, Boji Hugh has to make fun of it." "Guo Huai just came from Jingzhou, there was a big matter to discuss, I didn't want to enter the city to see the lights everywhere, and said that there was a happy event for the royal family, and after careful questioning, I knew that Zhao Shu was going to become Queen Zhang's brother-in-law. Guo Huai, like Rong'er, suspected the scheme, just thinking about a good event, so he opened his mouth to congratulate him when he entered the door, but he didn't want Zhao Shu to answer like this, he was a little surprised, and said, "What does the eldest brother mean by this?" But he immediately remembered that Zhao Shu had always been different from others, and he was not like other princes and nobles to women, and he liked more and more, but only had a soft spot for Guan Feng and Lu Rong, but this time it was the emperor who made the decision without authorization, so he said: "According to what the younger brother saw, even if the eldest brother doesn't like Miss Zhang, but because of Your Majesty's face, the eldest brother still doesn't shirk." What's more, this matter is not in the way of the eldest brother, and he is happy to be accompanied by a beautiful woman? ”

Zhao Shu couldn't explain this matter clearly for a moment, so he had to change the topic and said: "Could it be that Boji came to Chengdu to congratulate his brother for this matter?" Of course, this is a joke, Jingzhou is far away from Chengdu, how can Liu Chan issue an edict in the early dynasty, and Guo Huai rushed to congratulate him in less than an hour? It's just that Guo Huai, as the chief general of Jingxiang, is responsible for the east of Shu Han, even if it is a New Year's holiday, it is only to prepare a generous gift and send someone to send it, but this time he came in person, there must be something important. Although Zhao Shu had already expected a little in his heart, he still wanted him to say it in person, so he asked this question.

Guo Huai also said that Zhao Shu really didn't know, and after greeting each other, he sat down and said, "Hasn't Chengdu received the news from Luoyang?" When this sentence was asked, Zhao Shu knew that he expected it to be true, Guo Huai came alone, and Huan Yi's thoughts were the same, all of them wanted to persuade him to take advantage of Cao Wei's national funeral to send troops to fight for the Central Plains. Looking at the two people in front of him, Zhao Shu just shook his head in his heart, these two people must be the representatives of the main battle faction in the army. As a military general, he naturally can't just train soldiers and horses in the battalion every day, but needs to fight on the battlefield. Shu Han and Cao Wei have been in truce for many years, I am afraid that they will be suffocated in a panic, and I can't complain about them originally, but Zhao Shu's mind is reluctant and peaceful, and now the day is what he wants, why bother to regenerate right and wrong and give the lives of the soldiers of the two countries in vain?

Guo Huai saw that Zhao Shu didn't answer, and said that Shu Road was difficult, and he was in a hurry these days, and he actually arrived before Chengdu Xizuo, so he continued: "The younger brother has received news in Jingzhou that Cao Pi, the lord of Wei, has died, and his son Cao Rui has inherited the throne. Now is the time when the whole country is in a panic, why don't you take this opportunity to set the Central Plains in the north and become a king? Huan Yi listened to Guo Huai just speak, and knew that his intention was the same as his own, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help clapping his hands and shouting: "Okay." General Guo didn't know that he came to visit the general this time to discuss the matter. ”

"Oh?" Guo Huai was also overjoyed, and asked eagerly, "How is the eldest brother discussing?" Is there anything about raising troops to your majesty? Zhao Shu looked at the eager expressions of the two, and he was really unpopular to explain his intentions, so he had to mutter in a low voice and said, "The so-called mourning soldiers will win." Taking advantage of people's mourning and cutting down is afraid of violating the righteousness, and Xi Ze Qin Mugong took advantage of the funeral to cut down Jin, which is a fiasco of the mountain. Now that the lord of Wei is dead, the whole country is grieving, and at this time, the army may not be able to win, and I am afraid that it will have to be discussed in the long run. "How could Guo Huai not know that Zhao Shu was shirking, the reason why he didn't entrust others, and made Yu Guizhen guard Jingzhou come to Chengdu in person, was to understand Zhao Shu's temperament, and he was afraid that the persuasion of others would be ineffective, so he rushed to come himself. Hearing Zhao Shu say this, he knew that he didn't want to start a war with Cao Wei, but Guo Huai had been practicing in Jingzhou for many years, and Zhao Shu had designed and prepared a lot of equipment, so how could he be willing to just stick to it and not fight? glanced at Huan Yi again, and saw that the other party also happened to look at him, and there was also the meaning of the Northern Expedition in his eyes, so Guo Huai wanted to persuade again. But I heard the general outside shouting loudly: "General, there is a Hanzhong envoy outside the door asking to see you." ”

Zhao Shu didn't react yet, but he heard Guo Huai laugh and said, "This must be Wei Wenchang." "I was very depressed in my heart, it seems that this group of generals are in a hurry to catch the ducks on the shelves. It's like this, you can't see it, Zhao Shu had to say in a loud voice: "Please." Sure enough, it didn't take long for another military general to stride in, although there were also modifications, but from his burly figure and vigorous pace, it was easy for Zhao Shu to recognize it. What Guo Huai said was indeed true, and Wei Yan really rushed over from Hanzhong in person.

Wei Yanren didn't arrive, but the sound of laughter came first, and when he stepped into the door and saw Guo Huai was also there, he was stunned for a moment, and then said to him: "I don't want Boji to come first." After these two people got the news of Luoyang, they had the heart to persuade Zhao Shu to go on the Northern Expedition, and they were afraid that others would not be able to persuade them, so they made their deputy generals guard the palace and came in person, but they didn't want to come together on the same day. The two of them saw each other's intentions in their hearts, and they were happy, only Zhao Shu secretly complained, and now the three pillars of the Shu Han army all asked to fight, but they were afraid that they would really grind these three inches of incorruptible tongue, and they couldn't make the three of them give up.
