Cao Cao then sent someone to take the official documents and rushed to Yingchuan to invite Xu Kang and his mother in the starry night.It's a pity that Cao Cao's envoy had just arrived at Xu Kang's residence in Yingchuan, but the building was already empty.After searching around, I found out that a year ago Xu Kang got acquainted with Li Dashan, who was very famous in the Central Plains, and was recruited by him to Hedong.When Cao Cao came to hear this, he was shocked and rushed back to Luoyang immediately to report to Cao Cao.

"What! This Xu Kang actually went to Hedong!?"

Cao Cao was furious, and suddenly became anxious again.Cheng Yu was calm, and offered another plan. After hearing this, Cao Cao became impatient and very happy.It turned out that Cheng Yu and Xu Shu were friends when they were young, and they often visited Xu's house.Although Xu's mother is of the generation of women, she is quite knowledgeable and has many calligraphy and paintings at home.Cheng Yu had seen his handwriting before, and offered advice to Cao Cao. He could imitate his handwriting, fake a letter from his family, and send a confidant to call Xu Shu.

Cao Cao acted according to the plan, and when Cheng Yu finished writing the letter, he sent someone to Xinye County with the book to see Xu Shu.Xu Shu had seen the family letter and learned that his mother had fallen into Cao Cao's hands. He was afraid of being harmed by him, so he hesitated and had trouble sleeping and eating.The second plan is to be imprisoned in Luoyang, and Yu will be harmed.The old mother came to call in handwriting, and the concubine, as a son of man, couldn't bear to go.If you want to follow the hard work of dogs and horses to repay the envoy, Nai Ci's relatives are held, and they are in danger, so they can't do their best.Let me go now, and Rong Tu will meet later.I also hope that the king will be filial! "

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he knelt down and bowed to Liu Bei.Liu Bei's complexion changed drastically, and his heart couldn't stop being agitated. He just saw that the situation has finally turned, and he is about to show his hands and create a great cause.At this moment, Xu Shu wanted to leave, which seemed to break his arms!What's more, what Xu Shu wanted to vote for was his sworn enemy Cao Cao!

A trace of murderous intent flashed across Liu Bei's eyes, and suddenly his expression changed, and he cried as soon as he wanted to, tears welled up, and he burst into tears on the spot.

"Son, mother, and even relatives are inseparable. As a son of man, how can Yuan Zhi see his mother suffer and remain indifferent! Yuan Zhi doesn't have to worry about me, and hurry to Luoyang. After meeting the old lady, he may be taught again .”

"My lord is righteous, if I can save my mother, no matter where the world is, Yuan Zhi will return to serve my lord!"

Xu Shu was very moved when he heard it, and he bowed his hands in thanks and wanted to say goodbye.But Liu Bei said.

"After this farewell, you and I don't know when and what month we will see each other again. Beg to gather for another night and come to Japan for a farewell party."

Although Xu Shu was eager to save his mother, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he agreed.Then Liu Bei ordered people to prepare a banquet, and Xu Shu went back to pack his luggage first.As soon as Xu Shu left, Sun Gan whispered in Liu Bei's ear.

"Yuan Zhi is a genius in the world. He has been in Xinye for a long time, and he knows the truth and reality in our army. If he is sent to Cao Cao today, he will definitely use it again. If we report the truth to our army, Xinye is in danger. My lord, I should take great pains to keep him, and don't let him go. Go. Seeing that Yuan Zhi would not go for many days, Cao Cao felt resentful, so he would kill his mother. Yuan Zhi knew that his mother was dead, so he would avenge his mother. Do your best to attack Cao Cao, rather than die!"

When Liu Bei heard this, his complexion changed again and again. Sun Qian's worries had already occurred to him.Liu Bei squinted his eyes and said in a low voice.

"Yuan Zhi's mind is very sophisticated, and he can guess what is in people's mind just by calculation. I'm afraid that he will leave with hatred when he finds out my intentions. If so, Yuan Zhi and I will break our friendship!"

Sun Qian's eyes were soft, and he said in a low voice.

"The current situation is urgent, my lord, don't hesitate! Otherwise, I will send a few elite generals to sneak into Luoyang before Yuan Zhi, to find out where his mother is, and then!"

When Sun Qian said this, he suddenly made a gesture of beheading.Liu Bei's eyes widened, his brain turned, and he felt that this was a great try.Suddenly, he moved his ears, and heard a slight movement outside the door.Liu Bei's big ears are extremely sensitive, and he can hear clearly any wind and grass within a radius of hundreds of meters.Liu Bei was startled, got up angrily, and immediately shouted loudly.

"Absolutely not!!! Letting someone kill his mother, and I use his son, is inhumane!!! It is unrighteous to keep him and not let him go. It is unrighteous to deny his son and mother. I, Liu Xuande, would rather die than never Do not do unkind and unrighteous things!!!”

Sun Qian was ashamed when he heard the words, but he continued to persuade.Liu Bei roared sharply, and drove Sun Gan away.

At night, the banquet is set.Liu Bei and Xu Shu attended the meeting one after another.Xu Shu's face was gloomy, and his attitude towards Liu Bei was suddenly a little cold.Today he was walking on the road, thinking that Liu Bei is so kind and virtuous, he is indeed the peerless master who can save the people of the world.Compared with the tens of thousands of people in the world, personal matters are nothing but insignificant.Xu Shuben changed his mind and wanted to report to Liu Bei.But who knew that Xu Shu had just arrived, and he was hearing Sun Qian and Liu Bei's secret words.Although Liu Bei said harmless words, the expression on his face betrayed him.Xu Shu saw it clearly, and Liu Bei finally scolded Sun Qian. Although he spoke solemnly, his eyes were flustered, and it was against his will.

Liu Bei and Xu Shu drank wine at the banquet, and they drank for three rounds.Xu Shu said with a slight sigh.

"Hey, I heard that my mother was imprisoned by the wicked, even though Jinbo Yuye couldn't swallow it."

"Mr. Beiwen is about to go. If he loses his left and right hands, even though he has a dragon's liver and a phoenix marrow, it will be tasteless to eat."

The two looked at each other, although they said so on the mouth, but they had a dark heart inside.Xu Shu wanted to leave as soon as possible, and Liu Bei tried to keep Xu Shu, but there was nothing he could do.

The two sat and waited.One day passed.

At noon, Liu Bei and Xu Shu rode out of the city together, arrived at Changting, and dismounted to say goodbye.The two bid farewell, Xu Shu wanted to leave, Liu Bei chased after him reluctantly, and saw him off again.Seeing this, Xu Shu was so disturbed that he stepped forward with a whip.Liu Bei pursued closely again, and the generals dissuaded him, but Liu Bei refused to listen and sent him off one way after another.

For some reason, Xu Shu knew that Liu Bei's feelings were mostly false, but he was still moved by him. After sighing, he turned around and said the ceremony.

"A certain talent is lacking in wisdom, and I am grateful to the envoy. I unfortunately left halfway. It is because of my mother. Even if Cao Cao pushes me, I will never make a plan for life. Envoy don't worry, please don't send me off. .”

At this moment, Liu Bei cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face.

"Since the master is gone, Liu Bei will also flee to the mountains and forests, and will no longer interfere with the affairs of the world!"

Xu Shu's heart was agitated, although he didn't know whether Liu Bei's words were true or not, he still spoke out to comfort him.

"The reason why I and the envoy jointly plan the cause of kingship is to value the envoy's ability to understand the master. Now because of the old mother, the square inch is in chaos. Even if it is here, it is of no benefit. Envoy don't ask for the help of a high-ranking sage, let's work together. The great cause is, why are you so discouraged?"

"There is no one in the world who is worthy of the highest sages. Mr. Leaving, the time is exhausted, why do you want to seek a great cause!"

"A certain man is nothing but a mediocre man, how dare he take this honor!"

Xu Shu showed a slight look of pain, closed his eyes, and burst into tears.Liu Bei also cried bitterly beside him.Seeing the desolation of the scene, the surrounding soldiers also cried.

All of a sudden, Xu Shu thought of someone, who was telling him the truth.

"There is a strange man here, who is my younger brother. This man is extremely wise, and he is only in Longzhong twenty miles outside Xiangyang City. Why don't you ask for him?"

"Dare to annoy Yuan Zhi, please come and meet me for preparation."

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard the words, so he practiced etiquette and sought truth.Xu Shu shook his head slightly, and spoke again very cautiously.

"This person is a talent beyond the ages, so that the king should go to seek him in person. If you get this person, it is no different from Zhou getting Lu Wang, and Han getting Zhang Liang. What is the cause of making the king domineering?"

"How much more talented and virtuous is this person than Mr.?"

"Compared with someone, it's like a nasty horse with a unicorn, a jackdaw with a phoenix ear, this person is more than a hundred times better than me. When it comes to governing a country, employing people, marching troops to fight wars, and making plans, the world is so big, but no one can surpass him. !!!”

"I don't know this peerless great sage!? Can you tell me your name, sir?"

"This man is from Yangdu, Langya. His surname is Zhuge, his first name is Liang, and his style name is Kongming. He is the descendant of Zhuge Feng, the captain of Sili of the Han Dynasty. There is a hill where he lives, named Wolonggang, because he called himself Mr. Wolong. This man He is a peerless genius, his wisdom is more than monsters, and no one can match him, so that you should be in vain to see him. If this person is willing to assist, why worry about the world being uncertain and hegemony will not be achieved!?"

Liu Bei's face changed continuously when he heard this, this Zhuge Liang was so praised by Xu Shu, his talent must be astounding and extraordinary.Then Liu Bei quickly remembered that Sima Hui once said something in the past, and immediately asked Xu Shu.

"Mr. Xi Shuijing once told Bei that Wolong and Fengchu would be one, and the world would be safe. This person is so amazing, so what he said now is one of Wolong and Fengchu?"

"The phoenix chick is Pang Shiyuan from Xiangyang. Fulong is Zhuge Kongming."

Xu Shu didn't know what it meant, so he told him right away.

Liu Bei's heart was full of enthusiasm, and he said with great joy.

"Today I know the words of Fulong and Fengchu. I don't know when the great sage is only here now! It's not what Mr. Zhang said, but having eyes is like being blind!" After that, Liu Bei and Xu Shu talked for a while, and Xu Shu then is to resign.Liu Bei also stopped seeing him off, and looked at his back to go away before returning.

Xu Shu bid farewell and recommended Wolong Zhuge Liang.Since Liu Bei heard from Sima Hui, Wolong and Fengchu, if they get one, they will be safe in the world.I have been desperately begging for these two people.

Therefore, Liu Bei immediately put aside all his affairs and prepared to meet Zhuge Liang, the crouching dragon who could calm the world.

But Xu Shu said goodbye to Liu Bei and went straight to Luoyang.Just in the middle of the road, suddenly a group of people rushed out from the side of the road and blocked the way.Xu Shu's face was startled, and he put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.Xu Shu had learned swordsmanship before, and his martial arts skills are not bad, and the ordinary young people are not his opponents.

"I don't know if Minggong is Xu Yuan's direct address?"

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes, thinking that Cao Cao sent someone to greet him, and his expression became a little cold.Suddenly, in the group of people, a man wearing a blue brocade robe who was somewhat similar to Xu Shu came out.When Xu Shu looked at the man, he was shocked and cried out.

"Kangdi!?"

This person is Xu Kang, Xu Shu's younger brother.Xu Kang cupped his hands and held the salute, with a slight smile.

"Hehe, big brother, stay safe.

Seeing Xu Kang, Xu Shu hurriedly dismounted, grabbed Xu Kang's arms with joy on his face, and laughed.

"Hahahahaha!!! Brother Kang!! It's really you!! I heard that you suffered from a serious illness a few years ago and almost died. I asked someone to send the medicine back home, but my mother wrote back that you were terminally ill. My brother thought you could not support me, so I visited Yingchuan several times. Unfortunately, I was recognized by the government, so I had no choice but to retreat. Seeing your ruddy face now, You are in good spirits, and your body is strong. Could it be that your illness has been cured!?"
