Let's say that Zhao Shu ordered Wen Xiu to be released, Guo Huai persuaded behind him in a low voice: "Wen Xiu fought bravely, and he has a grudge against our army to kill his father, leaving it is just a disaster, why don't you get rid of it?" Zhao Shu didn't answer, but looked back and asked, "Boji also thinks that I shouldn't let him go?" Guo Huai and Wen Xiu have fought many times, they know their bravery, and both father and son are loyal to the Wei State, since Shu Han wants to devote himself to the Northern Expedition, he naturally should not spare his life, but nodded and said: "It should not be released." Zhao Shusui didn't answer anymore, just looked at Wen Xiu's distant back with a smile. Guo Huai saw that he was silent, he wanted to ask in his heart but it was inconvenient to ask again, seeing that Wen Xiu was going farther and farther, he was not in a hurry.

"Wen Xiu can put it down." Zhao Shu and Guo Huai turned their heads to look, but it was Ma Bing who stepped forward slightly, and Shi Li said: "My subordinates are brave and willing to guess the general's intentions." ”

When he was in Xichuan, Zhao Shu often listened to Guo Huai's letters and praised Ma Bing's intelligence and intelligence, which could be of great use. With the friendship between Zhao Shu and Ma Liang back then, he was very pleased that the deceased had such a future. After arriving in Jingzhou, Zhao Shu deliberately observed and probed, and Ma Bing really did as Guo Huai said, so he took him with him to participate in the military aircraft. At this moment, Zhao Shu deliberately didn't know what he meant, and he mostly wanted to see Ma Bing's reaction. Hearing Ma Bing say this, Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Let me try to say it." ”

When Ma Liang passed away, Ma Bing was still young, and he only remembered that Zhao Shu was responsible for his father's loss, and he was grateful. Later, under the disciples of Yi and others, as he grew older, he gradually came into contact with Jingzhou government affairs, and when he heard more about Zhao Shu, he was even more admired, and he only hoped that one day he would be able to see this legendary god-like figure again. This time, Guo Huai marched north, divided Sima, captured Fancheng, and even besieged and annihilated Cao Xiu today, all of which were Zhao Shu's clever plans.

In Zhao Shu's encouraging eyes, Ma Bing's abdomen drafted for a moment, and then he said aloud: "Although Wen Xiu is brave, he is just one person, why be afraid?" Even General Guo felt that Wen Xiu should not be released, so what should Cao Xiu and the others think when they saw that he went back safe and sound? Although Cao Xiu was defeated, he still had tens of thousands of soldiers, and fighting was not the best policy, and the general's move was just hoping to divide and chaos within the Wei army, so as to benefit from it. ”

These words won Zhao Shu's heart, and he kept nodding his head. Guo Huai asked again: "If you can make Cao Xiu suspicious, it is very good." It's just that Wen Xiu is willing to break off and fight to the death on his behalf, such loyalty, if Cao Xiu still has doubts, wouldn't he lose his true character? Ma Bing glanced at Zhao Shu again, and felt that the general's eyes were still encouraging him, so he said: "Back to General Guo, Cao Xiu was just lured here by General Liao, and was defeated, so naturally he didn't dare to trust others anymore." Even if Cao Xiu did not doubt it, his subordinates would also speak more. Take a step back, even if Wen Xiu goes back and is not suspicious, the high righteousness of the general can be spread all over the world. It is not a loss to take a life off in exchange for the popularity of the world. ”

Waiting for Ma Bing to speak, Zhao Shunai laughed, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Ji Chang is a humble gentleman, how can there be such a shrewd child?" What you have just said, you have won my heart. Ma Bing was praised by Zhao Shu, and suddenly seemed a little at a loss, excited and excited, but inevitably a little panicked. opened his mouth to say a few words of gratitude, but raised his eyes and saw Zhao Shu with a smile on his face, so he wanted to take the opportunity to achieve his long-cherished wish, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and bowed respectfully three times.

"What does that mean?" Zhao Shu also dismounted, stretched out his hand to help Ma Bing up, but heard him say: "There is something under the subordinates, and I hope that the general will be fulfilled." "When Zhao Shu first came to the Three Kingdoms, the first friend he made was Ma Liang, and then Ma Liang's death was also very heroic, so he had special feelings for Ma Bing, and was willing to cultivate a descendant for Ma Liang who was famous all over the world and left a name in history. Hearing Ma Bing's begging, although he didn't know what was going on, Zhao Shu had already agreed: "But it's okay to say it." ”

Before Ma Bing could speak, Guo Huai smiled earlier: "Congratulations to the general for being overjoyed, and congratulations to Ma Shi's nephew for winning the famous teacher." After hearing this, Ma Bing also bowed again: "Thank you for your success." Zhao Shu immediately understood what Ma Bing wanted, but he wanted to worship under his door, and suddenly he couldn't cry or laugh. Back then, in order to be able to use the son as a hostage, so that Li Yan and Jiang Wan would not have different intentions, they had to accept Li Feng and Jiang Bin as disciples, and now they regret it to death, but they didn't expect that Ma Bing would want to worship his subordinates again.

As far as Zhao Shu is concerned, he accepted two disciples, one does not teach people to read and write, and the other does not teach people martial arts and military strategies, but it is just a name. Now that both of them have grown up, especially Li Feng is already in his twenties, and the beard on his chin is not known how many times that of Zhao Shu. Compared with Zhao Shu's handsome face that does not grow old, walking together, where do you still look like a disciple? A big brother who is alive and well. Listening to Li Feng, who was more mature than himself, shouting "Master" again and again, Zhao Shu really had a special taste in his heart. Although Ma Bing is still a white-faced poster, after waiting for a few more years, he is still the same as Li Feng now? Wouldn't Zhao Shu have to endure a person who looked older than himself and called himself master? Thinking of this, Zhao Shu was absolutely unwilling to accept Ma Bing's disciple again, but he didn't know how to open his mouth and politely refuse?

Ma Bing didn't know that Zhao Shu had turned so many thoughts in his heart, and still bowed and said, "Disciple to see the teacher." Zhao Shu hurriedly took his hands and helped him up, and said: "I and your father are friends of life and death, if you don't dislike calling me uncle, I don't have the ability to accept you as an apprentice." The word "uncle" seems to be more intimate than "master", but Zhao Shu, as a general of the imperial court, has a high position and power, how can Ma Bing often talk about it? Just like Guo Huai and others, they used to be able to call Zhao Shu brothers, but now they all call "general". Zhao Shu said this to avoid the embarrassment of being called "teacher" again.

Ma Bing wanted to worship Zhao Shu's door, and even Guo Huai could see that his heart was sincere, and he didn't need words. But he never thought that Zhao Shu would not agree to his request, if Zhao Shu did not accept disciples, it would be fine, but he accepted Li Feng and Jiang Bin. Ma Bing's enthusiasm suddenly came to naught, but he had always been strong, and when he saw that Zhao Shu did not agree, he stopped pleading, and the unhappiness between his expressions flashed, and he changed his words: "Thank you for not giving up, General." ”

Where can the slightest change in Ma Bing's face not escape Zhao Shu's eyes? Understand that the other party thinks that he favors one over the other and is displeased. Zhao Shu was inconvenient to explain more, let alone tell Ma Bing about his bitterness of not getting old, so he had to say again: "In the future, you and I will be a family, so there is no need to be so polite." Ma Bing thanked him again, but he couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart. Zhao Shu reversed his word, failed to agree to Ma Bing's request, and did not want to dwell more on this matter, but changed his words and passed the order, so that Guo Huai sent people to follow Wen Xiu and others far away, and the army rested for a day, and then sent out, until Wen Xiu entered the city, he was ready to attack Fancheng.

During the day, although the Han army had just won a big victory and its morale was sharp, it did not take much advantage, after all, Cao Xiu's soldiers and horses were also the elite of Cao Wei, relying on the solidity of Fancheng, desperate resistance, and both sides suffered a lot of losses. Looking at the tall and sturdy city walls of Fancheng, Zhao Shu couldn't help but recall that back then, the flooding of the Seventh Army and the surrender of the forbidden army were all nine years ago. At that time, the five tiger generals of Shu Han were all there, the country was rising, and Cao Wei was also a famous general. Now Shu Han no longer has the vanguard generals like back then, but how can Cao Xiu, the governor of Cao Wei, compare with Cao Ren, who is known as an iron-clad guard? The destruction of Fancheng is only tonight.

Guo Tong's withdrawal from Fancheng was a plan to lure the enemy, and when he left the city, he had already been calculated to dig a secret passage in the city, leading directly to the outside of the city. Zhao Shu's strong attack on Fancheng was a tired Wei army, and secondly, he was also puzzled by the other party, which made Cao Xiu feel that he had only one way to attack. After returning to the camp, the generals went back to their tents to rest, preparing to attack again at night, leaving only Guo Huai and his son in the Chinese army tent. The secret road was dug by Guo Tong, and he infiltrated the city to respond, naturally he was the only one, and the three hundred dead soldiers selected by his subordinates were also waiting outside the tent.

Infiltrating the city and succeeding must be a great achievement, but the danger is also quite high, Zhao Shu intends to change the faction to go, but the Guo father and son repeatedly refuse. Zhao Shu had no choice but to personally buy wine for Guo Tong, and the rest of the sergeants were also rewarded with a pound of meat and half a bottle of wine. When he left Jingzhou, Guo Tong was still a half-grown doll, but now he has grown into a tiger general, Zhao Shu raised the wine glass in front of Guo Tong and said: "In tonight's battle, the success or failure is in the major general." I toasted three glasses, hoping that the young general would succeed. Guo Tong drank the wine and replied loudly: "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the general." ”

Although Zhao Shu's face has not changed, after so many years of killing, his mood is already old. Looking at young heroes like Guo Tong and Ma Bing, I felt that my blood could still boil. After toasting three glasses of wine, Zhao Shufu said to Guo Huai: "Boji still has something to say?" Guo Huai casually took the wine glass, poured a full glass, and put his hands in front of Guo Tong, saying, "I also toast you for my father." Seeing his father like this, Guo Tong hurriedly bowed to the ground and said, "The child doesn't dare." ”

"Get up." Guo Huai said: "Respecting you for your father is a state affair. This time you enter the city, the burden on your shoulders is not light. There is no other explanation for the father, only one sentence, you can not want your life, but the gate of Fancheng must be opened for the father, and the father will bring his own soldiers to answer outside. How could you do it? Guo Tong then replied: "The child will fight to the death, and if he can't complete the task, he will never come back to see the adult." After speaking, Guo Huai toasted and drank. Only then did he say to Zhao Shu and Guo Huai: "General, father, the last general will go here." He turned and went out of his account.

Zhao Shu and Guo Huai glanced at each other, and they all came out, and saw that the three hundred dead soldiers were already lined up neatly. Guo Tong saluted the two again, and then slowly went with his subordinates. Zhao Shu obviously looked at the reluctance in Guo Huai's eyes, but stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, wanting to say a few words of relief, but he couldn't say it. Guo Huai understood Zhao Shu's intentions, and immediately said with a strong smile: "The last general has been fighting for many years, and life and death have long been very light. Zhao Shu knew that he was duplicitous, so he had to say: "The young general has extraordinary martial arts, and he will definitely be able to achieve his mission." You and I should prepare well so that we can enter the city. ”
