Knowing that Xiahou Mao led his troops to abandon the city and fled, Zhao Shu waved his army to attack Tianshui for a day, but failed to break through as he wished, but lost many soldiers. It was Jiang Wei who entered the account to offer a plan, and with his many years of understanding of Duomazun, he suggested that he could launch a surrender letter to the city. Sure enough, the Shu army stepped into the gate of Tianshui. Although Zhao Shu still had prejudices against Jiang Wei in his heart, he had to order him to celebrate his achievements with wine and be promoted to the rank of general.

Since the start of the war, there has only been a banquet, and the generals naturally seemed extremely excited, and they all toasted Zhao Shu. Although Zhao Shu tried his best to refuse, he tried his best to drink as little as possible, and when he was gone, he was also six or seven points drunk. was helped back to the tent by Ye Feng, and fell asleep. I don't know how long I slept, I just felt that someone was wiping his face with his wide clothes, and when I opened my eyes, it was Mrs. Lu Rong.

In this campaign, Lu Rong originally planned to follow him together, but Zhao Shu used Guan Tong as an excuse to let him stay in Hanzhong. Appearing in front of him at this moment, Zhao Shu was not only surprised, but also a little happy, hurriedly sat up, and said, "Why are you here?" Lu Rong replied in a low voice: "When the news of Anguo came, I was worried about you, so I hurried here." ”

Speaking of Guan Xing, Zhao Shu's chest was like a thousand catties of boulder, and he was speechless for a long time, and finally said: "The journey has been tiring for the past few days, let's go down and rest first." Lu Rong shook his head and said, "I asked Tianya just now, and I want to discuss something with you. Zhao Shu suddenly remembered Jiang Wei's matter, and without waiting for Lu Rong to speak, he preemptively said: "Although Jiang Wei killed General Zhang Liao, now that he has surrendered to me, he can't let me, the general of the Han Dynasty, go to avenge Cao Wei's general, right?" So this thing ......"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Rong shook his hand one after another and said, "Wait, you mean that Jiang Wei is working under your account at the moment?" Zhao Shu immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing, and wanted to deny it but couldn't, so he had to "hehe" and nodded with a smirk. Zhang Liao and Lu Rong have the grace of nurturing, Jiang Wei is tantamount to her father-killing enemy, at first hearing such news, she immediately wanted to go to the other party for revenge, but at this moment, she endured it again and again, and said after a while: "I didn't ask you about it." Zhao Shuzheng wished that she would just ask about it, and hurriedly said, "Then what are you referring to?" ”

Lu Rong rolled his eyes, suddenly attacked, and said loudly to Zhao Shu: "You know that Jiang Wei has a deep hatred with me, but you still collect him under the account, is this the weight in your heart?" As he spoke, he put his hands over his face and began to cry. Originally, he was cheating, but when he came back, he remembered the tragic death of Zhang Liao's father and son, and he couldn't help but feel sad, tears came out of his eyes, Zhao Shu knew that he was at a loss, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, but he never knew the point, so he had to say: "Jiang Wei has surrendered after all, if you are unwilling to give up, find an opportunity to get rid of him in the future, but you can't be blatant, there will be some trouble." You'll have to give me some time. ”

Lu Rong heard that Zhao Shu finally relented, and while holding back his tears, he said, "I didn't let you kill him." Although Zhao Shu didn't have a good impression of Jiang Wei, and he was really reluctant to get rid of him because of Zhang Liao, he felt that Lu Rong would definitely not give up so well, so he hurriedly said, "Then what do you want?" Lu Rong replied: "One life for another, it's okay if I don't kill Jiang Wei, but you also have to let one go." Zhao Shu was about to open his mouth to agree, but suddenly felt as if he had fallen into her trap, so he hesitated: "Who is worth your painstaking efforts?" ”

Lu Rong didn't hide it at the moment, and said calmly: "Chen Sheng, the vanguard general of the Wei State, although he injured An Guo, but the two armies are fighting, each for its own master, I hope you can spare him from dying." Zhao Shu didn't expect it to be Chen Sheng, so he didn't answer and asked, "You still don't know him?" Lu Rong said: "Do you know who his father is?" Zhao Shu's head turned quickly at the moment, and the word "Chen Gong" blurted out, and when he saw Lu Rong nodding, he immediately understood that the relationship between the two was extraordinary. But even if Lu Rong and Chen Sheng are world friends, Zhao Shu and Guan Xing also have a very deep friendship, so they hesitated and refused to agree immediately, so they had to say: "I haven't killed him yet." ”

Lu Rong sighed softly and said, "The reason why you didn't kill him was because you had the intention of surrendering. But I can tell you clearly, even if Cao Rui kills his family at this moment, Brother Chen will not betray Cao Wei. Chen Sheng's martial arts are indeed shocking, if he really refuses to surrender, then Zhao Shu has no reason to let him go, so he said: "Since I am so loyal to Cao Wei, I should not let him go." Besides, the generals desperately captured him, and I let him go so easily, how can I justify it? ”

Lu Rong also understands Zhao Shu's distress, but Chen Sheng is not only a brother and sister who grew up with her, but also has saved her life several times, and she can't die without helping. At the moment, he persuaded again: "If you can spare his life, I promise to persuade Brother Chen to stop working for Cao Wei from now on, what is the difference between killing him?" "Although this is the case, it is still a risk after all, if Chen Sheng does not keep his word and secretly works for Cao Wei again, wouldn't it be a return to the mountain? Although Zhao Shu loved Lu Rong very much, he couldn't make such a big deal, so he continued to shake his head.

Lu Rong begged for a while, and saw that Zhao Shu still refused to agree, so he said, "If you don't agree, I'll let him go myself." Zhao Shu was also upset by her, and when he saw Lu Rong being so unreasonable, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and immediately shouted: "You dare." Without waiting for Lu Rong to say anything more, Zhao Shu shouted outside again: "Someone." Hearing this, the guard Xiao Ben entered the tent, hugged his fists and said, "The general has something to order?" Zhao Shu glanced at Lu Rong and said coldly: "Quickly go and behead Chen Sheng on the spot." ”

Lu Rong never expected that Zhao Shu would be so resolute this time, seeing that Xiao Ben was ordered to come out of the account, he suddenly pulled out the sword next to him and shouted loudly: "Stop." Zhao Shu looked at the bright sword in her hand, "hehe" and sneered a few times, and said, "Could it be that you still want to kill your husband?" He shouted to Xiao Ben who stopped: "Don't go quickly." ”

"Stop." Lu Rong shouted to Xiao Ben again, put the sword blade on his neck, and said to Zhao Shu: "If you refuse to let go of Brother Chen, our mother and son will bury him together." Zhao Shu didn't come back to his senses for a while, and when he understood the meaning of Lu Rong's words, he was both happy and annoyed in his heart, and he looked at the other party and couldn't speak. In the end, he waved his hand to let Xiao Ben back down first, and then asked slowly: "You won't lie to me, right?" ”

Lu Rong also sneered a few times, didn't look at Zhao Shu, and said: "If you don't believe it, you can try it, one corpse and two lives, all caused by you." This sentence made Zhao Shu cry and laugh, he has been married for many years, and his wife has changed twice, and every time he sees Guan Tong shouting his father around him, he really hopes to have his own biological blood and blood. Seeing that Lu Rong still put the sword on his neck, he had to say: "You let Tianya take the pulse, if it is true, I can also consider it." Without waiting for Lu Rong to agree or not, he sent someone to invite Ye Feng.

Only then did Lu Rong put his sword away and waited for Ye Feng's arrival with Zhao Shu. Soon Ye Feng arrived, and Zhao Shu preemptively said: "Madame is a little unwell, you take the pulse for her." Ye Feng did as he said, and said happily for a moment: "Congratulations to the general, Madame is not sick, but happy." Lu Rong also curled the corners of his mouth, looked at Zhao Shu, and seemed to say, I didn't lie to you.

Zhao Shu originally thought that Lu Rong was bluffing himself, but he didn't expect that there would be no news for a few years, but he really blossomed at this time. Joy is of course joy, but the thought of releasing Chen Sheng makes him unhappy. Lu Rong didn't care so much, and asked further: "Does the general want to be untrustworthy?" Zhao Shu hesitated, so he had to ask again: "Are you sure that you can convince him to stop working for Cao Wei?" Seeing that Lu Rong nodded resolutely, he instructed Ye Feng: "Take Mrs. to release Chen Sheng." ”

Although Ye Feng didn't want to see Chen Sheng's miserable appearance in a different place, it was not his wish to release him so plainly. And he didn't think Zhao Shu had any reason to let Chen Sheng go, and said that he had heard it wrong, and he didn't act for a long time, so he waited until Zhao Shu repeated the order again, then bowed and retreated, and took Lu Rong to see Chen Sheng.

Ye Feng had seen Chen Sheng break free from the rope by himself, and this time he was replaced with a thumb-thick chain, and his three meals a day were only combined into a small bowl of brown rice to consume Chen Sheng's physical strength. People are iron, rice is steel, Rao is a big hero like Chen Sheng, after being tossed for a few days, he also looks very depressed and embarrassed. Lu Ronghe had seen the description in front of Chen Sheng's eyes, and when he recalled the old friendship, he couldn't help but feel sad, and he actually sobbed in a low voice.

Chen Sheng never thought that he would say goodbye to Lu Rong, it would be at such a time and in such a place, and he wanted to stand up, but after all, he was a little more than enough and lacked strength. I had to ask: "Why are you ......?" Before he finished speaking, he smiled again: "I forgot." You're a dignified general's wife now. ”

Lu Rong sighed lightly, and stepped forward to unlock Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng was a little puzzled, and let her untie the chains before saying, "I won't surrender." Lu Rong nodded and said, "I know, I'm just here to release you." Chen Sheng was even more puzzled, and looked at Lu Rongliang for a long time before he smiled and said, "Zhao Shu can also command thousands of troops and horses if he does this?" Lu Rong herself also knew that she was indeed a little sorry for Zhao Shu, but since the death of Zhang Liao's father and son, she no longer wanted to see her former brother die. This time he came to the army on purpose, although he was worried about Zhao Shu, why not worry about Chen Sheng? At this moment, I had to say: "There are conditions for letting you go." ”

Chen Sheng was so smart that he quickly understood Lu Rong's words and said: "I have received great favor from Emperor Taizu, and I can only repay him with death." Lu Rong didn't expect the other party to refuse so simply, and only said slowly after a while: "You have been imprisoned in the camp for the past few days, don't you know that the Shu army is using your banner to break through Shangqi?" Chen Sheng said disdainfully: "How can such a trick be hidden from the eyes of others? ”

Lu Rong also asked rhetorically: "After Xiahou Mao knows, will he seek a justification for you?" Chen Sheng was silent for a moment, and Lu Rongfu said again: "Xiahou Mao is retreating to Nan'an at this moment, and the responsibility for this failure always needs to be borne by someone, won't he shirk it on you?" At this moment, I am afraid that the report to the emperor has already hit the road, once you arrive in Luoyang, what will be the consequences, do you need me to tell you in detail? ”

Cao Wei has never been soft on traitors, and even after following Cao Cao for 30 years to surrender to Shu Han, he was beheaded by all over the house. If Xiahou Mao really put all the responsibility on himself, Chen Sheng would not have to think about the fate of his wife and children at home without his head. And with his understanding of Xiahou Mao, it is reasonable to do such a thing. Thinking of his wife and son at home, Chen Sheng sweated profusely on his forehead, but finally had to give in, and was willing to promise not to work for Cao Wei anymore.
