Chapter 351 The military division who can fight
The guards reacted, and they all protected Xu Shu and surrounded Chen Zhao in Gaixin.
Chen Zhao was not afraid of danger, holding his sword and watching vigilantly. At this time, the sneak attack failed and had lost the opportunity to hold him hostage. He could only find a way to kill Xu Shu and gain a reputation.
Although Xu Shu abandoned Wu and followed Wen, he always kept his sword away. After careful examination, he found that Chen Zhao's clothes were different and he was determined not to be a soldier from Jingzhou.
"It turned out to be Cao Ren's army. What do you mean by mingling in our army?"
"Hmph, I heard that Guan Yun is arrogant and does not humiliate him. If you besiege me as a small soldier, you will lose the reputation of General Guan. Do you dare to fight with me alone?" Chen Zhao pointed at Xu Shu and shouted coldly.
Xu Shu was stunned and raised his head and laughed wildly: "It seems that you are not an unknown person. You still know how to provoke generals at this point. It seems inappropriate to pick me and fight with you alone. Do I look like a general in this outfit?"
Seeing that Xu Shu was not able to get the plan, Chen Zhao was speechless and then replied with difficulty: "Then find a general to compete with me. If you can win, you should let me go..."
Xu Shu stroked his beard and shook his head, "There is really a shadow of my youth. Do you think you still have a chance to escape? Or do you still have the opportunity to explain your identity honestly, and maybe you can still live a life..."
"Hmph, there is no one in Guan Yu's army..." Chen Zhao looked around and sneered. His identity could not be said, otherwise he would become a prisoner who threatened his uncle. He planned to kill two people to death.
"Who said there is no one? I'll fight alone with you." The sound of horse hooves stopped. Zhao Yun raised his blue sword and walked out of the crowd, then looked at Chen Zhao coldly.
"Are you Zhao Zilong?" Chen Zhao swallowed.
Zhao Yun looked up and down at Chen Zhao and said contemptuously: "If you can surpass the sword in my hand, I will let you go back to Xiangyang."
Chen Zhao was speechless when he was choked. Although he had some martial arts skills, how could he be Zhao Yun's opponent? He didn't know how much blood the green sword drank, so he just stared at Xu Shu and didn't say anything.
Seeing that Chen Zhao did not dare to agree, Xu Shu said with a clear eye: "Then how about we compete in swords? If I can win, I will let you go. If I lose, I will honestly explain your identity. This deal is very cost-effective."
"Military Advisor..." Zhao Yun hurriedly stopped him.
Xu Shu reached out and said, "Zilong, don't worry, I have a sense of responsibility."
Chen Zhao tied a sword flower, "A gentleman's word."
"Hand a quick horse and a whip." Xu Shu drew out his sword.
"Military advisor, use mine?" Zhao Yun handed over the green light sword.
Xu Shu shook his head: "I won't take advantage of him, let everyone give up a place."
When the guards around him heard the order, they immediately gave up the duel venue to Xu Shu, but Zhao Yun stood aside with a blue sword in his hand, and he wanted to make sure that Xu Shu was within his guardian area.
"Get a move."
Xu Shu pointed with the tip of the sword, Chen Zhao abandoned his fear and raised his sword to stab him. The two swords quickly entangled together, making a sound of clanging clanging weapons colliding.
Chen Zhao relied on his strength and tried to suppress the opponent with his sword moves such as stabbing, pressing, chopping, stirring, and cutting. However, Xu Shu's body was extremely light. He saw him easily resolved it with one step and one step, but instead scratched Chen Zhao several times.
Chen Zhao took off his armor on the road, and now he only had light clothes and thin shirts on his body. The long sword cut his flesh and blood penetrated the dirty clothes. Zhao Yun, who was watching the battle, looked more and more relaxed. He thought to himself that the military advisor had indeed used a sword. Although his strength was weak, his agility was very high. He was the most capable of fighting among the several military advisors.
After more than a dozen moves, Chen Zhao had blood splattered several times. Can he even beat a counselor? Why did he say that he had to live a life and leave his name in history?
With a clanging sound, Chen Zhao desperately walked through Xu Shu's sword.
"Don't admit defeat?" Xu Shu asked playfully.
"Hmph." Chen Zhao sneered, and wiped his neck with a sword in his hand, and blood splattered to the ground on the spot.
Zhao Yun watched Chen Zhao fall to the ground, strode over to check, and found that the other party had died.
Xu Shu shook his head, "This man is young and energetic. He should be a young junior of Cao's army. He would rather die than surrender. He should send someone back to Xiangyang. Cao Ren may recognize him."
"Vei." Zhao Yun nodded.
Xu Shu wiped the sword clean and put it in the scabbard, then took Zhao Yun's hand and said, "Zilong has worked hard for several days, but the danger in Jiangling has been lifted now. If we don't have a rush to rest, how many drinks will we have?"
"Yun dares not obey orders? It happened to ask the military advisor for swordsmanship." Zhao Yun said with his fists.
Xu Shu pointed at him and laughed: "Zilong, don't ridicule him. How can some skills catch your eyes? I just played just now."
"It's not really a compliment to Zhao Yun. The military advisor does have a swordsmanship."
"Zilong hasn't even drunk the celebratory wine yet, so he got drunk so quickly?"
The two talked and laughed and walked hand in hand to Dangyang. Xu Shu wanted to know how to seize Yizhou, and Zhao Yun wanted to know how to retreat to the enemy on the battlefield in Jingzhou. They were completely sleepy while drinking and communicating information.
When he learned that Zhao Yun was angry in Chengdu and Liu Bei had no choice but to erase his merits, Xu Shu couldn't help but shake his head: "There are many thieves who attacked the city without sealing their swords. The soldiers who fought bloodyly took their own property and satisfied them. The lord's kindness and righteousness are not good at that, but it is inappropriate for you to stop this matter. Even if Yide proposed it, it would be much better..."
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "Yide represents the lord. If he comes forward to stop him, he will make the generals hate him. I will be a little cold-eyed for him. He knows it in his heart that as long as he can serve the country and the people, Yun will never regret it..."
Xu Shu sighed: "Zilong's career is not good, maybe even the Old General Huang is not as good as..."
"Famousness and wealth are fleeting. I will follow my lord to fight south and north, not for wealth." Zhao Yun's eyes were firm.
Seeing that Zhao Yun was so open-minded, Xu Shu turned his worries and said happily: "Zilong is a true hero. No wonder the lord trusts you so much, but this matter is not unsolvable. You can go to Lingling to ask Ziyu for helping Zilong out of trouble. I think he must have a wonderful plan."
Zhao Yun shook his head gently: "Mr. Ziyu does have a thorough understanding of human nature, but Jingnan must be busy just after experiencing the war. I also want to escort the family in Jingzhou back to Chengdu. I will not let the teacher worry about these trivial matters."
Xu Shu smiled and said, "This time, Zilong sent his family to Sichuan, is actually the intentional arrangement of the lord. As long as he does his best on the way to Sichuan, it will be difficult for civil and military officials in Jingzhou to hold a grudge against you. As for how to relieve the knot of the Yizhou generals, if I am empty, I will ask Ziyu for him on behalf of you."
"Thank you for your teachings from the military teacher. I suggest you don't bother Mr. Ziyu..." Zhao Yun said thanking with his fists.
Xu Shu's eyes turned, "Zilong's concerns make sense. Ziyu doesn't like to be close to the gentry. The officials in Jingzhou have complaints. If they offer you advice, the gentry in Yizhou will probably follow the example..."
"Cao Ren left so urgently. General Guan is not really fighting Xiangyang, right?" Zhao Yun asked without further ado.
Xu Shu shook his head: "Yun Chang knows how to judge, but he mainly bluffs and will not do anything excessive. Zilong doesn't have to worry..."
"I'm not worried. My lord often says that he is invincible in the world..." Zhao Yun muttered and fell drunk on the desk.
Guan Yu was indeed bluffing, but because his reputation was so loud that he frightened the prefect Lu Chang, who was guarding the city. He used words very urgently in the letter, which led to Cao Ren's emergency withdrawal from Dangyang. Li Tong, the prefect of Runan, personally led his troops to aid.
