Sending away the pair of living treasures of Huan Yi and Meng Qian, Zhao Shu let out a long breath and slowly walked into the inner courtyard. Lu Rong is pregnant, although the month is not enough to make his waist fat and abdomen big, but out of concern, Zhao Shu still asked him to move around as little as possible, and once the official business is completed, he will immediately return to the room to accompany him. About because of pregnancy, Lu Rong has been very sleepy recently, but he just got up to change his clothes at this moment, Zhao Shu stepped inside, just saw him sighing while dressing, and couldn't help but step forward and ask: "Baby, what's so unhappy?" ”

Lu Rong looked at the bronze mirror again, and then said, "I heard that after a woman gives birth to a child, she will age quickly. Look at my current posture, alas...... "Women have always loved beauty, especially a beauty like Lu Rong, who is always worried that her beauty is not there, so she often sighs like this." Zhao Shu smiled dumbly, stepped forward and hugged her from behind, gently stroked the slightly bulging lower abdomen, and said: "You are here again thinking nonsense, after giving birth, you can be regarded as a real woman, more attractive." ”

Zhao Shu spoke in Lu Rong's ear, and the hot breath breathed into the collar, and the itchy feeling made Lu Rong chuckle lightly, and said, "You will coax me like this, don't dislike me when the time comes." Zhao Shu laughed secretly in his heart, a woman is a woman after all, with Guan Fengzhi's fortitude and Lu Rongzhi's profundity, she is a heroine among women, but she always likes to ask such worthless questions in the eyes of men. Zhao Shu was reluctant to answer again, but gently kissed the jade-like skin on the back of Lu Rong's neck. Lu Rong felt even more unbearable and wanted to dodge. Zhao Shu hugged her tightly and kissed her to the lips. At these times, because of Lu Rong's inconvenience, Zhao Shu didn't make love to her for a long time, so he had to be reckless at the moment and refused to let go.

I only heard a few "plop, pounce" sounds outside the window, Zhao Shu only said that someone was outside, hurriedly let go, turned around and shouted: "Who is it?" Thinking that the scene of his intimacy with his wife was peeked at by others, Zhao Shu couldn't help but be slightly angry, and didn't listen to anyone's answer, and then asked, "Who is outside?" Seeing his angry face, Lu Rong couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "I'll go and catch it for you." Without waiting for Zhao Shu to speak, he went out. Zhao Shu didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, and it wasn't until Lu Rong came in with a carrier pigeon that he remembered that there were a lot of carrier pigeons in the courtyard outside, and the sound must have been made by these long-haired beasts.

Thinking of his fuss, Zhao Shu also laughed and said, "These beasts are really damned. Lu Rong also recalled Zhao Shu's demeanor just now, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for these brutes, you would have known the news of Jingzhou so quickly." As he spoke, he took a roll of paper from the pigeon's feet and handed it to Zhao Shu.

Since Zhao Shu knew that Lu Rong had carrier pigeons, he made people train hard, and the transportation between Jing and Yi was inconvenient, with such a communication tool, not only could Zhao Shu quickly understand the war in Jingzhou, but also allowed him to quickly make a decision and order Guo Huai to act. In addition to Zhao Shu, Guo Huai and a few other military leaders, even if others get the letter brought by the carrier pigeon, they are also at a loss.

Zhao Shu heard that there was news coming from Jingzhou, and hurriedly opened it to read, it was the news that Wancheng was captured by Cao Zhen, and Sima and his son did not know where to go. For Zhao Shu, the only people admired and feared in the Three Kingdoms were Zhuge , Sima and Lu Xun of Jiangdong. Zhuge is dead, Lu Xun is not very ambitious in Sun Wu, only Wancheng Sima Yi has a side, and there are 100,000 male soldiers in his hands, which is really a problem for the heart. It is Zhao Shu's Northern Expedition, one of which is to get Cao Wei and Longxi; The second is to eliminate Sima and seize Wancheng. But now not only has Wancheng not been taken, but there is no news from Sima and his son, and Zhao Shu can't help but be disappointed.

Since Lu Rong was pregnant, he has been recuperating in the inner house with peace of mind, and he has never cared about military affairs, but at this moment, he saw Zhao Shu's uncertain face next to him, so he leaned forward and asked, "How is the war in Wancheng?" Zhao Shu sighed lightly and said, "The chess is one move." He handed Guo Huai's letter to Lu Rong and said: "Cao Zhen has recovered Wancheng, but I am afraid that he will return to the west in the near future and compete with Wei Yan for Chang'an." Lu Rong roughly read the letter before saying: "The matter has come to this, regret is useless." Chang'an has been recovered, and it must not be lost again, so it is better to set a policy of defending the palace as soon as possible. ”

At this moment, Zhao Shu did have a little regret in his heart, when he gave Guo Huai the order, he repeatedly asked him to act carefully, and he had to wait until Sima Yi's soldiers and horses were exhausted and his life and death were at stake before he could send troops to help. It's just that this kind of heat is difficult to grasp, and it also makes Guo Huai restrain his hands and feet, which causes Wancheng to fall into Cao Zhen's hands. This is not so much that Guo Huai did not grasp the opportunity, but that Zhao Shu was too afraid of Sima Yi, which made Guo Huai lose the opportunity to seize Wancheng.

Now Cao Zhen's army of 200,000 or 300,000 is in Wancheng, and Guo Huai has few soldiers, so he naturally can't go north again, but if he retreats to Jingzhou. When Cao Zhen left the defending army of Wancheng, he would definitely lead his troops to Tongguan and join Xu Huang and others to attack Chang'an together. Although Chang'an is not very important in the eyes of Zhao Shu, it is an important symbol of Zhongxing's recovery in the eyes of the entire Shu Han court. Now that it has been taken in hand, it must not be lost, otherwise it will have a great blow to the morale of the people of Shu Han. However, if Shu Han's military strength wants to hold Chang'an, he is afraid that he will be able to go with the whole country's troops.

First of all, Zhao Shu was not willing to spend troops to defend Chang'an, and secondly, in terms of the current relationship with Wei Yan, it was not suitable to lead troops there, so as not to make Wei Yan have more suspicions, and Jiang Wei was instigated by the side, in case of a mutiny and rebellion, it would be more than worth the loss. If the faction is going to go, such as Wang Ping and others, how can they be Wei Yan's opponents, in case they seize military power, wouldn't it make Zhao Shu even more worried?

It happened suddenly, and Zhao Shu couldn't think of a perfect plan for a while, but his eyebrows were tightly locked and he didn't say a word. When Lu Rong saw that his husband was like this, he offered a plan and said: "If you feel that the imperial court is not strong enough to compete with Cao Wei, why not send an envoy to Eastern Wu and persuade Sun Quan to send troops to divide Cao Wei's troops?" ”

At the time of the Three Kingdoms, it was the Sun-Liu alliance to resist Cao Wei, but Zhao Shu had always known that since the death of Zhou Yu and Lu Su, the ministers of the Sun family of Eastern Wu were only partial to the generation of peace, and they only hoped to be able to hold the three-point foundation of Jiangdong steadily. Now if Shu Han and Cao Wei can fight to the death in Chang'an and move Cao Wei's troops from the Huainan line to the west to Guanzhong, Sun Quan is only afraid that he will wake up laughing in his dreams, and most of them are unwilling to send troops to help and set himself on fire, so Zhao Shu has never considered this matter at all.

Seeing that Zhao Shu's eyebrows still refused to stretch, Lu Rong knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "I have a strategy, or it may not be possible to make Sun Quan send troops." Zhao Shu knew that he had always been full of tricks, so he bowed: "Please also ask Mrs. for advice." Seeing him ask seriously, Lu Rong couldn't help laughing, and only after a moment did he restrain his smile and say what he thought in his heart one by one.
