Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 353

The panic changed dramatically. The guards came to their senses, and they rushed to Xu Shu's side one after another, and surrounded Chen Zhao in Gaixin.

Chen Zhao was fearless in the face of danger, holding his sword and watching around vigilantly. At this time, the sneak attack failed and he had lost the opportunity to hold him hostage, so he could only find a way to kill Xu Shu to win his reputation.

Although Xu Shu abandoned martial arts and followed literature, he never left his sword. He took a closer look and found that Chen Zhao's clothes were different, so he was definitely not a soldier from Jingzhou.

"It turned out to be Cao Ren's soldiers. What is the purpose of mixing with our army?"

"Hmph, I have heard that Guan Yun is always proud of his superiors and never humiliating his subordinates. If you besiege me as a pawn, you will have the reputation of being a general who has lost the pass. Do you dare to fight me alone?" Chen Zhao pointed at Xu Shu and shouted coldly.

Xu Shu was stunned, raised his head and laughed wildly: "It seems that you are not an unknown person, and you still know how to provoke a general at this point. It seems inappropriate to pick me to fight with you alone. Do I look like a general in this attire?"

Seeing that Xu Shu had fallen for the trick, Chen Zhao was at a loss for words, and then replied with difficulty: "Then find any general to compete with me, and if he wins, let me go."

Xu Shu stroked his beard and shook his head, "I really have the shadow of my youth, win or lose, do you think you still have a chance to escape? Or should you be honest about your identity, maybe you can still survive"

"Hmph, there is no one in Guan Yu's army." Chen Zhao looked around and sneered. He couldn't reveal his identity, otherwise he would become a prisoner threatening his uncle. He thought it would be enough to kill them both.

"Who said there is no one? I'll fight with you alone." The sound of horseshoes stopped, Zhao Yun lifted the Qingzhi sword and walked out of the crowd, then looked at Chen Zhao coldly.

"You are Zhao Zilong?" Chen Zhao swallowed.

Zhao Yun looked Chen Zhao up and down, and said contemptuously, "If you can beat the sword in my hand, I will let you go back to Xiangyang."

Chen Zhao was choked speechless. Although he had some martial arts skills, how could he be Zhao Yun's opponent?He didn't know how much blood had been drunk on that Qingzhi sword, he just stared at Xu Shu without saying a word.

Xu Shu saw that Chen Zhao didn't dare to agree, so he said in a vain way: "Then how about our sword fight? If you win, I will let you go. If you lose, you will tell your identity honestly. This deal is very good."

"Military division." Zhao Yun hastily stopped.

Xu Shu stretched out his hand and said, "Don't worry about Zilong, I have a measure."

Chen Zhao held a sword flower, "A word from a gentleman."

"Hit the horse fast." Xu Shu drew out his sword.

"Military Master, can you use mine?" Zhao Yun handed the Qingzhi Sword over.

Xu Shu shook his head: "I won't take advantage of him, everyone give up a space."

When the surrounding guards heard the order, they immediately gave Xu Shu the duel venue, but Zhao Yun stood aside with a green sword in his hand, and he wanted to ensure that Xu Shu was within his guarding range.

"Go ahead."

Xu Shu pointed with the tip of his sword, and Chen Zhao thrust forward with his sword despite his fear. The two swords were soon entangled together, making the sound of clashing weapons.

Relying on his great strength, Chen Zhao tried to suppress the opponent with stabbing, pressing, splitting, stirring, cutting and other sword moves, but Xu Shu's body was extremely light, and he easily deflected it with every stroke, and scratched Chen Zhao several times.

Chen Zhao took off his armor on the road, and now he only has light clothes on his body. The long sword cut his flesh, and the blood seeped into his dirty clothes. Zhao Yun, who was watching the battle, became more and more relaxed. The dexterity is very high, and it is the most capable existence among several military divisions.

After more than a dozen moves, Chen Zhao's body was already splattered with blood, so he couldn't even beat a counselor?What else are you saying that Gou Quan survived and left his name in history?

With a clang, Chen Zhao tried his best to block Xu Shu's sword.

"Still admitting defeat?" Xu Shu asked playfully.

"Hmph." Chen Zhao sneered, and wiped the sword on his neck with his back, blood spattered on the spot and fell to the ground.

Zhao Yun watched Chen Zhao fall to the ground, strode over to check, and found that Chen Zhao had died.

Xu Shu shook his head, "This man is young and vigorous. He should be Cao Jun's young descendant. He really would rather die than surrender. Send someone back to Xiangyang later. Cao Ren may recognize him."

"Wei." 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 been fighting hard for days, but the danger of Jiangling is now over, if we don't hurry to rest, how many drinks shall we have?"

"How dare Yun refuse to follow orders? I happened to ask the military master for advice on swordsmanship." Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said.

Xu Shu pointed and laughed: "Don't ridicule Zilong, how can a little talent catch your eye? It was just for fun."

"It's really not Zhao Yun's compliment, the military master's swordsmanship is indeed unique."

"Zilong hasn't drunk the celebration wine yet, so he got drunk so soon?"

The two walked into Dangyang hand in hand, talking and laughing. Xu Shu wanted to know how to capture Yizhou, and Zhao Yun wanted to know how to defeat the enemy in the Jingzhou battlefield. They exchanged information while drinking and did not feel sleepy at all.

When he learned that Zhao Yun caused public outrage in Chengdu and that Liu Bei had no choice but to erase his credit, Xu Shu couldn't help shaking his head: "Cao's bandits attacked the city without sealing their swords, and the soldiers who fought bloody took their belongings to satisfy themselves. The lord is benevolent and righteous, that's despicable." It is inappropriate for you to stop this matter, even if Yide brought it up, it would be much better."

Zhao Yun smiled wryly: "Yide represents the lord. If he comes forward to stop him, the generals will hate the lord. I will be cold-eyed for the lord. He knows it in his heart. As long as he can serve the country and the people, he will never regret it."

Xu Shu sighed: "Zilong's official career is not good, maybe even the old general Huang can't compare to him."

"Fame and wealth are fleeting. I followed my lord to fight north and south, not for wealth and honor." Zhao Yun's eyes were firm.

Seeing that Zhao Yun was so open-minded, Xu Shu turned his worries into joy and said, "Zilong is a true hero. No wonder my lord trusts you so much. But this matter is not unsolvable. You can go to Lingling to ask Ziyu for advice. I think he must have a clever plan to help you." Zilong escaped."

Zhao Yun shook his head slightly: "Mr. Ziyu indeed has a thorough understanding of human nature, but Jingnan must be busy just after going through the war. I also want to escort Jingzhou's family members back to Chengdu. Don't worry about these small things."

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Sending Zilong to escort his family to Sichuan this time is actually a deliberate arrangement by the lord. As long as you do your best on the way to Sichuan, Jingzhou's civil and military affairs in the past will not remember you. I will look for Ziyu on behalf of the king and ask for it."

"Thank you for your advice, military advisor. I suggest you don't bother Mr. Ziyu." Zhao Yun clasped his fists in thanks.

Xu Shu rolled his eyes, "Zilong's concerns are also justified. Ziyu doesn't like to be close to the nobles. The officials in Jingzhou have criticisms. If they offer advice to you, the nobles in Yizhou may follow suit."

"Cao Ren left in such a hurry, isn't General Guan really attacking Xiangyang?" Zhao Yun asked, changing the subject.

Xu Shu shook his head: "Yun Chang knows how to measure, the main thing is bluffing, he won't do anything excessive, Zilong don't have to worry."

"I'm not worried. My lord always says that he is invincible." Zhao Yun mumbled and fell drunk on the desk.

Guan Yu was indeed bluffing, but because he was so famous, he frightened Lu Chang, the prefect who defended the city. His words were very urgent in his letter, which caused Cao Ren to withdraw his troops from Dangyang urgently, and Li Tong, the prefect of Runan, personally led troops to help .

Li Tong evaded Jingzhou warships to forcefully cross the Han River, but was discovered by Guan Yu's patrol boats. Not only did [-] athletes and [-] boats be lost, but the main general Li Tong was also shot to the vitals by Guan Yu and drowned in the water.
