Chapter 332 Xu Shu

Deng Yu was the head of the 28 generals in Yuntai, and he met Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu in Taixue as a young man. When he was 22 years old, he heard that Liu Xiu was going to Fuhebei, and he went to the north by himself. Before the age of 23, the general held the status of festival, and the governor went west to Guanzhong. At the age of 24, Keding Shanxi, worshiped the disciples of the three companies, and was granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, no one has been able to match it.Although there were failures and flaws in the end, Liu Xiu compared him to Confucius to Yan Hui, and he is a well-deserved number one hero of ZTE.

Liu Jing described his inner joy at the moment by using the ancestor Liu Xiuye ​​to meet Deng Yu. He had high expectations for Zhuge Liang, and even Zhuge Liang himself was a little surprised.

Although he often compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi and has great ambitions, he is only 20 years old this year, and his situation is different from that of Deng Yu. When Deng Yu defected to Liu Xiu, although he was in his early twenties, he was already a well-known celebrity in Nanyang. Xiu has almost nothing except his righteous name.In contrast, Zhuge Liang has no reputation, while Liu Jing has already occupied Jingnan and created a foundation.Therefore, he did not have the extravagant hope that once he entered Changsha, he would be entrusted by Liu Jing with the responsibility of being the master and the mastermind.

However, it was obvious that Zhuge Liang had greatly underestimated his position in Liu Jing's heart. In fact, he had always felt that Liu Jing had a mysterious confidence in him. He did not expect that the two parties had been separated for several years, and it remained unchanged.

Thinking of his friend Xu Shu in the car, Zhuge Liang tried to calm down and asked, "Zhongda, do you still remember the friend Xu Yuanzhi I mentioned to you in the letter?"

"Of course I remember." Liu Jing's heart moved when he heard the words, Zhuge Liang's words could not be aimless, could it be that Xu Shu also came?

Zhuge Liang said again: "He has heard that Zhongda is wise and faithful, generous and loving, and respects the virtuous and respectful, so he came south with me to vote..."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's introduction, Xu Shu got out of the calf cart and bowed to Liu Jing, "Xu Shu in Xiayingchuan, pays homage to Liu Lingling."

"really……"

Liu Jing looked at Xu Shu curiously. He was about [-] years old, more than seven feet long, wearing a sparse towel and single clothes, with a long sword on his waist, and a resolute appearance.

Xu Shu in history is far from being as magical as in the novel, but he is also a talent. Zhuge Liang commented that three friends Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian can be appointed as governors and county guards.

However, this is only Zhuge Liang's point of view when he was young. Decades later, during his Northern Expedition, he heard that Xu Shu and Shi Tao were not high officials in Cao Wei. Do you feel that Cao Wei has so many talents?As a result, the good talents in his eyes are not reused.

If the two had not gone north to surrender to Cao Cao, but chose to stay, they would have achieved higher achievements.Especially Xu Shu, with Liu Bei's regard for him, as long as he survives, he will surely become the core of power in Shu Han.In the future, not to mention co-interpreting with Pang Tong and Fazheng, at least it will be comparable to Liu Ba, Dong He and others.

It's a pity that since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can't be both. After his mother was captured by Cao Jun, Xu Shu's heart was in turmoil. He couldn't do what Zhu Ling did. Facing the enemy, he threatened his mother and brother with each other, and finally made the decision to abandon his mother and brother and "destroy the family for the country". "feat".Of course, it was not like Bi Zhan. After the whole family was captured by Zhang Miao, they expressed their determination to be loyal to Cao Cao on the surface, which caused the hero Cao Cao to cry, and turned around and fled secretly.

Xu Shu asked Liu Bei to resign face to face, pointing his fingers sincerely, and everyone who heard it was moved. The two regretted that they could not create a king's career together, but they also left a good story in history.

"Perhaps Xu Shu's mother came to Changsha with him..." Liu Jing thought to himself.With his rise in Jingnan, the fate of more and more historical figures has been changed by him.

At the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little pity for Liu Bei who was pulling Cao Cao's hind legs in Runan at the moment. Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Huo Jun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Feng Xi, Gao Xiang... Before Liu Bei came to Jingzhou, his team was already there. He was dug out by Liu Jing.

"Yuan Zhi is welcome." Liu Jing stretched out his hand to hold Xu Shu's forearm, and said with a big smile, "Kong Ming repeatedly praised Yuan Zhi's talent in his letters, saying that Yuan Zhi satirized "Poetry", "Book", Ming "Shen" and "Han". He is well-versed in Confucianism and Law, and he is a rare talent." At this point, Liu Jing paused, and then said: "Jingnan has been suffering from natural and man-made disasters for the past few years. Recently, I have often prayed to heaven: 'Sihuang Toast, be born in this kingdom.' Unexpectedly, today God sent two worldly sages to me."

Xu Shu said modestly: "I am nine years older than Kong Ming, and I am still blunt in reading. I have accumulated a lot of work, and I am proficient in reading. However, Kong Ming does not follow the chapters and sentences in reading. He only looks at the general idea, but he can understand the essentials. I am not as good as that."

Zhuge Liang shook his head at the side and said: "Some people like to study intensively, and some people like to read extensively. There is no distinction between the two."

"Kong Ming's words are reasonable." Liu Jing nodded in agreement, and said again: "By the way, Kong Ming, I heard someone report that you came with your whole family, why don't you see your family?"

Zhuge Liang replied: "This time I went south, I took a lot of things with me, especially books, which can't be moved all at once, so I left my family members to look after them at the ferry." During the five years Zhuge Liang lived in Xiangyang, books were the biggest One of his achievements, he has copied hundreds of volumes by hand over the years, almost without a day's rest.

Liu Jing turned to Xu Shu and said, "Yuan Zhi also has family members if he wants to come."

Xu Shu nodded and said, "I have only a few family members, only my mother and wife."

Liu Jingdao: "I'm going to ask people to find two quiet and tidy mansions near the county mansion, but I'm afraid it's too late today. The prime minister's house in the county mansion is currently empty. Kong Ming and Yuan Zhi, you and your family members may wish to stay in the prime minister's house temporarily. One night, wait until tomorrow before you move into the new house."

Xu Shu turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement.

Liu Jing embraced Zhuge Liang with one hand and Xu Shu with the other, and sat inside when he returned.

Before Zhuge Liang was seated, he said, "Zhongda, I left Xiangyang in the middle of last month and met Wenlang in Bi County..."

At the beginning, Liu Yu gave up the Jiangdong route and insisted on taking the Jingbei route to Xudu. This route certainly saves time and effort, but they and Liu Biao are mortal enemies. Once Liu Biao finds out, Liu Yu will undoubtedly die.Now hearing the news that Liu Yu is safe and sound from Zhuge Liang, Liu Jing was a little relieved.

After talking about Liu Yu, Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Zhongda, I saw that the Beijin Ferry is crowded with vehicles and boats, and people come and go, and it is very busy. Could it be that there will be a big war in the near future?"

"That's right," Liu Jing nodded and said, "If you come one day late, you won't be able to see my face."

Zhuge Liang asked, "Is Zhongda going south to fight with Jiaozhou Mu Zhangjin?"

"Yes." Liu Jing nodded and admitted.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but glanced at Xu Shu, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Haha, we came just in time."
