Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 239 Xu Yuanzhi Is Alone

Xu Shu, styled Yuanzhi, was born in Changshe County, Yingchuan County.At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a figure under Liu Bei's tent, later returned to Cao Cao, and served in Cao Wei.

According to historical records, Xu Shu's real name is Xu Fu, and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" records it as Shan Fu. He was originally a child of a poor family.Later Zhongzhou army rose up, took refuge in Jingzhou with Shi Guangyuan from the same county, and became friends with Sima Hui, Zhuge Liang, and Cuizhou Pingping.

When Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye, Xu Shu went to defect and recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei.When Xu Shu went south, because his mother was captured by Cao Cao, Xu Shu had to say goodbye to Liu Bei and enter Cao Ying.

The introduction of this comprehensive history book is not as bright as Zhuge Liang's, nor is it as careful as many scholars of the Three Kingdoms.But it doesn't mean that Xu Shu is average or inferior to other people.

Xu Shu is definitely the top strategist of the Three Kingdoms!

It's a pity that he didn't have any outstanding performances in his original history, and after all, he was not as good as other people with strong pen and ink.But now it's not necessarily so. He came to Runan and met Liu Yu...the so-called dragon can be transformed when the wind and rain come, how can he know that Xu Shu can't transform the dragon, and can't be famous in history?

It is also fate, Xu Shu has always had hope and loyalty to the Han Dynasty, just like in history, probably because of his mother's teachings.The difference is that in history, Xu Shu went to Jingzhou first, and after being disappointed with Liu Biao, he turned his attention to Liu Bei.Of course, Liu Bei was already the emperor's uncle at that time.

But according to the current situation, Xu Shu is unlikely to set his sights on Liu Bei, and the reason is naturally Liu Yu.It turned out that Liu Yu's extraordinary rise attracted the attention of Xu Shu, who was disappointed with Liu Biao, and then... Xu Shu naturally couldn't have taken refuge in Liu Yu because of this. He first investigated Liu Yu's deeds, and then analyzed the chance of Liu Yu's rise .

The chances are slim and it can be described as difficult.

But Xu Shu decided to meet Liu Yu first after careful consideration. If it is really worth his vote... even if it is difficult and dangerous, so what?
But let him down again, he was not able to see Liu Yu.Ever since, he couldn't help asking himself, is Liu Yu really worth it?

It's not worth it, he decided to go back to Jingzhou!
But on the way, he suddenly found out that Ji Ling was going to sneak attack Shang Cai. After hesitating for a while, he decided to remind Shang Cai's guard.He didn't know how he would make such a decision, maybe it was God's will!

Sure enough, it was God's will. After he returned to Jingzhou, he actually met Du Ji.Of course, this acquaintance was not accidental, but Du Ji personally visited him, and it was Liu Yu's instruction.

In this way, he was naturally pleasantly surprised.Then Du Ji's talent and learning also impressed him, and he felt that the lord who a person like Du Ji would work for would definitely not be bad.

Then, after Du Ji's persuasion, he came to Runan with him, and then made a plan for Liu Yu...

"Mr. Yuanzhi, although you and I just met today, you have already saved me time and time again, and I have been fascinated by you for a long time. Come, Mr. Yuanzhi, I respect you with this glass!" Yu stood up, raised his glass to Xu Shu, and said loudly.

Xu Shu couldn't help showing a smile on his face. Although the smile disappeared quickly, it showed that he was in a good mood.Not only because of Liu Yu's courtesy to him, but also because of Liu Yu's importance to him.There were many people who treated him courteously, but no one valued his talent, or valued but didn't use it, such as Liu Biao.

"Mr. Liu is Huang Zhou, and auspicious people have their own celestial features. I believe that nothing will happen without Yuan Zhi." Xu Shu was happy, but still replied politely with a calm face.

Liu Yu was not complacent when he heard the words. Instead, he laughed at himself: "My Huang Zhou is worthless. Will you be questioned if you don't see the emperor? Alas, if you want to kill a thief, you can't return to heaven!"

This statement is half-truth and half-false, powerless is true, intentional is false, but it can be regarded as an expression of sincerity.Therefore, Xu Shu didn't see it through, but seeing Liu Yu's emotional expression, he liked Liu Yu even more, and he already had a faint intention in his heart.

But Xu Shu pondered for a while, and decided to investigate further, so he only heard him say: "Master, don't worry, although it depends on man's efforts, the right time and place are also indispensable. If today's time and place are not in the hands of the son, even if the son is harmonious, it is useless. "

Young Master Liu, Young Master, although there is only one word difference, Xu Shu's heart can be seen.

"At this banquet, we are only allowed to chat, not to talk about official business. Come on, everyone, let me have a toast to you." Fearing that Liu Yu's pressure would be too tight and Xu Shu would not be able to get off the stage, Du Ji raised his glass immediately.

When everyone heard the words, they also stood up and said loudly: "Give me a toast, I wish you a revival of the Han family, and wipe out the gang of thieves!"

"Hahaha, everyone!"

Everyone toasted Liu Yu, and then toasted each other. Even Xu Shu and Du Ji drank several cups, and they were a little tipsy.

Halfway through the banquet, Liu Yu stood up unsteadily, and said, "Everyone, I want to respect you for this cup. If you didn't have me, how could I be Liu Yu today? If I didn't have you, how could we be today? Come on, do it!" "

"For the second cup, I want to respect the soldiers. If it's not for the soldiers, the event will be over!"

……

Drinking is fun, heavy at times, but overall the atmosphere is good.Everyone was drunk. Although they were not so drunk, they let go of their words and walked a little shaky.

In this way, everyone drank and sang happily.But except for Du Ji and Xu Shu who can sing well, the other generals are simply amazing...

After everyone groaned for a while, they suddenly booed and asked Liu Yu to sing.Liu Yu was unwilling, but he couldn't stand the persuasion of the crowd, so he finally had to agree to sing a song.

After drinking seven glasses of wine in a row, Liu Yu suddenly drew his sword and sang loudly:
"Golden wrong sword and white jade outfit, shining through the window at night. Her husband has not accomplished fifty achievements, and he lifts his sword to look after the eight wastes independently. Jinghua makes friends with all kinds of people, and lives and dies together. The thousand-year-old history is shameless, and he is dedicated to the emperor. You come to join the army in Tianhanbin, Nanshan Xiaoxueyu is rugged."

After singing, Liu Yu thrust the long knife into the table suddenly, picked up the wine glass and drank several more, his cheeks were slightly red.

The generals didn't understand the meaning of the poem, but their blood boiled with excitement when they heard it, shouting and drinking wine.Du Ji and Xu Shu, who understood, just looked at each other and drank the wine in their cups silently.

When all the generals were shouting and drinking, suddenly a guard rushed in anxiously, shouting loudly: "Report to the lord, Ruyin urgently report!"

"Submit it!" Liu Yu, who was a little drunk, suddenly became a little sober when he heard the guard's words, and asked someone to submit the urgent report, read it at a glance, and then his face changed drastically.

Everyone below had already looked at Liu Yu with all eyes, and seeing his face changed drastically, they expected something bad.What Liu Yu said later confirmed their guess.

But all the generals were drunk, so there was no fear, they all said loudly: "My lord, I would like to take [-] cavalry as the vanguard, and throw them into Ruyin overnight."

Everyone was clamoring, but Liu Yu didn't respond, instead, he looked at Xu Shu and asked respectfully: "The matter of Ruyin is imminent, I don't know why sir teach me?"

"Hahaha, you don't have to worry, my lord, you can get rid of the enemy of Ruyin with a certain letter?" Xu Shu, who was usually meek and drunk, couldn't help laughing up to the sky and uttering bold words.

After hearing this, everyone felt that he was too arrogant, even Du Ji felt that he was a little arrogant.But Liu Yu was neither displeased nor disbelieving. Instead, he laughed and said: "Cao Mengde has Xun Gongda, but Xu Yuanzhi alone. It is not yet known who will win and who will lose!"

Calling him lonely, it seems that he hasn't reached this point yet, but... this Han family sect's pro-ambition is not small!
