The news of the fiasco of the Huan Yi front army reached the rear army, and Zhao Shu hurriedly led the troops to the rescue, but it was over. Eighty-one? Chinese Network ?. By the time Zhao Shu's army arrived, the Qiang army had already withdrawn without a trace, leaving only corpses all over the ground. As for Huan Yi, Meng Qian and the others are even more alive and dead. The search was fruitless, so Zhao Shu had no choice but to camp on the spot while continuing to send people around to find out the news.

It was night when Zhao Shu was alone in the tent, fidgeting, he didn't eat a bite of dinner, and still asked the sergeant to leave as it was. In this Northern Expedition, Guan Xing was damaged at the beginning of the war, and now he is fighting again, but he has lost Huan Yi. Needless to say, since Huan Yi followed Zhao Shu from Jingzhou, he has been loyal before and after the saddle, and has always been regarded as an arm by Zhao Shu. In the entire Shu Han army, these two people have the closest relationship with Zhao Shu, and they actually had accidents one after another in just a few days. Why didn't Zhao Shu feel sad and sad, did he really regret this Northern Expedition, was it wrong? Besides, Meng Qian's heart for Zhao Shu for many years, Zhao Shu is not a grass and tree, how can he not know? If she also had an accident, it would not be Zhao Shu sad or not, and it would be difficult to explain in front of Meng Shu.

The door curtain was gently lifted, and Zhao Shu raised his eyes to see that Lu Rong was entering with food, and couldn't help frowning: "Didn't you just tell me not to have food?" Lu Rong didn't answer, but walked to the front of the case silently, laid out the meals one by one, and then said: "You are the commander of the three armies, you must not hurt yourself, if it is a big thing." Zhao Shu sighed: "It's not that I don't care about my body, it's just that the life and death of Brother Huan and the others are uncertain, and I really can't swallow it." Then he waved and said, "Take it down." ”

Seeing that he still refused, Lu Rong picked up the chopsticks and personally picked up the vegetables and sent them to Zhao Shu's mouth, and said, "Then let me serve the general's meal." Zhao Shu really had no intention of laughing with him at the moment, but he couldn't be as ruthless as others, so he reluctantly took the dishes and chopsticks and ate some indiscriminately. Lu Rong saw that Zhao Shu was always sullen, and he couldn't stop saying some inconsequential things, but seeing that Zhao Shu still didn't answer, he had to say: "General Huan is brave and extraordinary, and he will definitely be able to turn danger into a disaster, you don't need to worry too much." ”

Zhao Shu naturally hoped that the two of them would be safe, but from the mouth of the defeated sergeant in front, he asked Zhiqiang that there were more than 10,000 soldiers, and the iron car was good. After all, Huan Yi is flesh and blood, and if he is besieged in the formation by an iron car, he is afraid that he will be more than lucky. If it's true, your life is in the way. Zhao Shu turned to look at Lu Rong, and suddenly said, "I intend to stop the battle and retreat to Hanzhong." ”

Lu Rong never expected that Zhao Shu would have such a thought, and said in a lost voice: "How can this be done?" This Northern Expedition, the whole country is coming, and the teachers are mobilized, how can it be abolished because of one person? And General Wei Wenchang is far away in other counties, if you insist on going your own way, I am afraid that there will be a dispute when he meets in the future. ”

Zhao Shu also knew that the matter of retiring from the army was not trivial, and he was afraid that the generals' intentions would be the same as Lu Rong's, and they would not retreat lightly. But Zhao Shu was no longer willing to raise troops to conquer, and he really didn't want to see relatives and friends leave him. Seeing that he bowed his head and was silent, Lu Rong stepped forward to hold Zhao Shu's hand and said, "How can there be a reason for immortals to fight and kill?" As the saying goes, 'If the crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in front of the battle', General Huan is a hero of the world's good generals, even if the horse leather shroud, it is not what he wants. ”

Having said that, in troubled times, these heroes and heroes are all proud of dying in battle, but Zhao Shu's values are completely different from them, and he doesn't want to exchange the lives of his relatives and friends for fame in history. What's more, the sentence "dying when encountering soil" in front of Guan Feng's tomb that night has been haunting Zhao Shu's heart, originally he was a human being in two lives, and he had no regrets when he died; But Lu Rong told herself a few days ago that she was pregnant. Once you really encounter that "soil", you will die, leaving this orphan and widow, how can you bear it? After hearing that Huan Yi had an accident, Zhao Shu made up his mind that he wanted to retreat to Hanzhong, stick to Xishu, and share his family with his wife, so his remaining wishes were enough.

Lu Rong also knows what kind of weight Guan Xing and Huan Yi have in Zhao Shu's heart, and now as soon as the war started, one of them was killed and the other was missing, so it is no wonder that her husband has a retreat in her heart. But since you have chosen this path, you are no better than those ordinary mediocre people, if you just want to save your life, why have you struggled in the troubled times for so many years? And although Lu Rong has been married to Zhao Shu for many years, there is still blood flowing in his bones, and it has always been Lu Rong's long-cherished wish for many years to eliminate Cao Wei and avenge his father. Seeing that her husband was thoughtful, she asked again, "What are you thinking?" ”

Zhao Shu was thinking about the two crosses, and when he was asked by Lu Rong, he couldn't help but read it in a low voice: "When you encounter water, you will live, when you encounter gold, you will leave, when you meet wood, you will die." Lu Rong didn't know why, he didn't know how Zhao Shu could read such twenty words, and seeing that he was still immersed in his thoughts, he couldn't help but shake it vigorously again, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhao Shu came back to his senses, and suddenly understood that he had lost his words, but he no longer concealed it, and said: "Do you remember that when I was in Xudu, Mr. Plain God Buguan once came to my mansion for a gathering?" Lu Rong was in the mansion that day, and he also eavesdropped on the conversation between the two in private, and when he saw Zhao Shu bringing up the old matter again, he nodded and said: "Mr. Guan watches the stars at night, and knows that you are the master of the troubled times, so you can't easily give up this Northern Expedition." Zhao Shu shook his head and said, "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." On that day, Mr. Guan knew that you were eavesdropping in secret, so he used his finger as a book and wrote these twenty words in my palm. Over the years, the first few sentences have been fulfilled one by one, such as 'Yumu Fangxing', which alludes to the fact that after I meet Brother Huan, I can gradually prosper. Now that Brother Huan has also had an accident, I am really afraid that the words 'I will die when I meet the soil' will come true to me. After speaking, he looked at Lu Rong again and said in a low voice: "If I am just alone, then life and death are not in my mind." But you're pregnant, how can I bear to leave your mother and son behind? ”

Only then did Lu Rong understand Zhao Shu's true thoughts, since Guan Lu is a world-famous god, and the first few sentences have been fulfilled, then the words "dying when encountering soil" will never be false. Although neither of them knew who or what this soil was referring to, as long as they continued the Northern Expedition, Zhao Shu would always face the threat of death. Even if Lu Rong had the heart to avenge his father, he was unwilling to lose his husband, let alone let his unborn child lose his father, so he clasped Zhao Shu's hand and said: "In this case, after confirming the life and death of General Huan, you can order the withdrawal to Hanzhong." It's just that you can think of what to say to Wei Yan and the others? You can't still use Mr. Guan's words as a reason, right? ”

Zhao Shu naturally knew that it wouldn't work, so he had to continue to shake his head and say, "Of course not." Moreover, Mr. Guan's words are just one of the reasons why I quit the army. I have not slept all night since the war began, and the lives of these 100,000 troops are hanging in my hands, do you know how much pressure I have in my heart? Today, I saw 5,000 soldiers of the former army, and only half of them came back, which of these people has no wives and parents? Anguo was killed, Brother Huan had an accident, I was sad and sad, not to mention the relatives of these soldiers' families? You should know that war is not what I want, and if I insist on withdrawing my troops, I will be helpless to forgive Wei Wenchang. ”

Zhao Shu, as a general, combines military and political power, if he really insists on going his own way, Wei Yan really has no way to deal with him. Now that Zhao Shu had made up his mind, Lu Rong didn't say anything more, so he got up and put away the dishes and chopsticks. Not long after he went, Xiao Ben broke into the tent and claimed that Ye Feng had led people to find Huan Yi and Meng Qian, and escorted them back to the camp. Zhao Shu was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "In that case, why didn't General Huan come to see me?" ”

Xiao Ben had no choice but to answer truthfully: "General Huan is poisoned and is unconscious. After Captain Ye returned to the camp, he was directly sent to his tent to try his best to rescue Lord Yan, and asked the general not to worry. How could Zhao Shu not be worried, so he immediately got up and went to Ye Feng's tent with Xiao Ben.

Outside Ye Feng's tent, Zhao Shu saw Meng Qian's tent walking back and forth from a distance, and he was concerned about Huan Yi's injury, so he stepped forward to ask. As soon as Meng Qian saw Zhao Shu, she immediately hugged him, leaned her head on Zhao Shu's arms, and cried bitterly. Zhao Shu didn't expect Meng Qian to make such a move, he originally wanted to push it away, but when he looked down and saw Meng Qian's pear blossoms with rain, he was very reluctant in his heart. It was just that she was too frightened in front of the battle, and she was scared in her heart, so she couldn't help but put her hand on Meng Qian's back, patted it gently, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, you have returned to the camp, and no one can hurt you in the slightest." ”

Meng Qian didn't speak, just cried vigorously, and Zhao Shu patiently said a lot of good things, but to no avail. He was worried about Huan Yi's injury in his heart, and he wanted to ask Ye Feng first, but Meng Qian didn't let go of him, and was in a dilemma, so he listened to Lu Rong behind him and said, "How is General Huan's injury?" In his tone, there was a sour smell that was difficult to hide. It turned out that she packed up the dishes and chopsticks and returned to the tent, but when she didn't see Zhao Shu, she asked the guards outside the tent, knowing that Huan Yi had news, and she hurried over, but she didn't want to see Meng Qian hugging her husband tightly. When Lu Rong couldn't get pregnant for a long time, he also thought about persuading Zhao Shu to take Meng Qian back into the mansion and continue the incense for the Zhao family, but now seeing the intimate actions of the two with his own eyes, the feeling in his heart is very different, he only feels that it is not a taste of sourness, but he can't do it, so he has to use Huan Yi's injury to interrupt the "sweetness" of the two.

Hearing Lu Rong's voice, Meng Qian knew how out of shape she was, and hurriedly left Zhao Shu's arms, but she didn't know what to say, so she had to whisper: "General Huan is in the tent, but Captain Ye ordered no one to enter to disturb him, and asked the general and his wife to wait." Zhao Shu was caught by Lu Rong on the spot, and he also felt embarrassed, so he had to laugh a few times, retreat to Lu Rong's side, and said, "Then we will wait for a while." Originally, I had the intention to ask Meng Qian, how the two escaped with their lives in the chaos, how Huan Yi was poisoned, and I was afraid that Lu Rong would misunderstand again, so I had to hold back for the time being, and ask later.

Lu Rong saw that the two of them were embarrassed by themselves, and the trace of jealousy in his heart gradually disappeared. Not to mention that Meng Qian escaped death and lost her temper for a while, even if there is indeed something greasy between the two, Lu Rong is helpless, you must know that with Zhao Shu's status and status, it is reasonable to ask for a concubine in ten rooms and eight rooms, not to mention Meng Qian alone? Lu Rongruo showed too much dissatisfaction, afraid that it would only be disgusting, so he put on a smiling face and said to Meng Qian: "My sister finally came back safely, so my sister was relieved." As he spoke, he walked to Meng Qian's side, and when he saw that he was covered in blood, he said, "Look at this dirty body, how about washing and changing clothes with my sister first?" ”

Zhao Shu didn't expect Lu Rong to be so affectionate to Meng Qian, he was puzzled, and when he saw Meng Qian looking at him, he had to nod his head. Meng Qian then said in a low voice: "Thank you, sister." "It is to leave hand in hand with Lu Rong.
