King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 557 Confused Xu Shu
Xu Shu came from a poor family, but his previous life was also very interesting. Xu Shu's original name was Xu Fu, and at that time he had the same name as Xu Fu, who was said to have ordered eight thousand boys and girls to go to the East China Sea to seek immortality under the order of Emperor Qin Shihuang. When he was young, Xu Shu was fond of martial arts and became a hero. Later, because he avenged his brother, he was arrested by the government. Xu Shu was quick-witted, painted his face with earth white powder, and fled with his hair loose. Unfortunately, he was finally caught by the officials, who scolded him. What is Xu Shu's name? Xu Shu bowed his head and said nothing, so the officials tied Xu Shu to a pillar and pretended to be punished, but Xu Shu still didn't say a word.

Then, the officials beat drums and ordered people in the surrounding market to come out and identify Xu Shu. None of Xu Shu's acquaintances dared to say that they knew this person. Fortunately, Xu Shu's brothers were loyal enough to rescue Xu Shu who was tied to a pillar at night. Xu Shu found out that using force could not solve all kinds of turmoil, so he stopped wielding guns and sticks, changed his usual style, and devoted himself to studying. In the third year of Chuping, because of Dong Zhuo's chaos in the capital, the Central Plains were scattered everywhere. In order to avoid chaos, Xu Shu and Shi Tao from the same county went south to live in Jingzhou. After arriving in Jingzhou, Xu Shu got acquainted with Sima Hui, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Cuizhou Pingping. Which lord, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, wanted to keep a low profile and wait and see for a while. Only Xu Shu, who was stationed in Xinye when Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye, went to Mao Sui to recommend himself because of Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence, and Liu Bei was worthy of him, even if he was himself. Xu Shu's two foster brothers looked down on Xu Shu very much, and Liu Bei also respected Xu Shu. After a long time, although Xu Shu can now see Liu Bei's true colors, which is somewhat different from his previous understanding, it is also because Liu Bei treats Xu Shu with care. By myself, help with all my heart.

Xu Shu thought that even though he didn't think of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, he could be regarded as a resourceful person after studying for so many years. But facing the Youliao army, Xu Shu was really confused, let alone a while, I followed Liu Bei back to Xuchang, and I was very confident that I could cross the sea without knowing it. Unexpectedly, I was ambushed by the Youliao army, and Ju Yi had already said that when I crossed Yingshui, I was discovered. Xu Shu was cautious all the way, why? It was so easy to be discovered, Xu Shu didn't understand, but now, Li Lin suddenly let Liu Biao and Xiao Guan not fight, but why did he come to Dingcheng?Xu Shu couldn't figure it out even more, but the big battle was just around the corner, and Xu Shu could only wait and see what happened...

Xu Shu immediately turned around and said, "My lord, immediately send someone to Pingyu to ask for help from the army!"

Liu Bei anxiously said: "This Cao Pi is also a person who is afraid of Li Yuanjie, how could he send reinforcements here!"

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Once Dingcheng is opened, the next step is Pingyu. My lord sent someone to tell me that Li Yuanjie came here for Cao Pi, and Cao Pi would definitely send troops to help my lord, while at the same time sending someone to think about Liu Biao. Let Liu Biao attack the rear of the Youliao army!"

Liu Bei had no choice but to nod immediately, and said, "Okay! Come!" Then Liu Bei quickly explained and sent people to Pingyu to find reinforcements. At this moment, Li Lin's army dared to come.

Thirty miles away, it didn't take long, Li Lin led the team to the outside of Dingcheng, and he had already seen the gate of Dingcheng, which was not too high, and Liu Bei's side was almost ready, and Xu Shu glanced outside the city. The Youliao army galloping over was startled, and immediately asked Liu Bei, "My lord, do you have a grudge against that Li Yuanjie?"

Liu Bei was also puzzled, and replied: "Bei is more than ten years older than Li Yuanjie. Although he has been fighting for many years, he has never seen him before."

As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhang Fei, the third younger brother beside him, suddenly shouted, "Eh? Tai Shici!"

Liu Bei turned around and asked in confusion, "What did the third brother say?"

Zhang Fei immediately pointed to the city and said, "Brother, that person is Tai Shici. Brother, do you still remember that in Liaodong, General Gongsun Zan dispatched his elder brother to attack Changli, and then fought against Li Yuanjie's soldiers and horses? He followed Tai Shici." Ah, I happened to be the one who went out to fight Tai Shici at that time, but the killing was so dark! I still remember it fresh!"

Liu Bei was startled and said, "Tai Shici?" Then he thought for a moment, and said, "I also remembered, it's been so many years, and I've forgotten these things when I'm older?"

Zhang Fei said: "This Tai Shici is very brave, but he is still a little worse than the younger brother. Don't be afraid, elder brother! He is not a threat!"

Only then did Liu Bei feel relieved, but Xu Shu asked again: "My lord, is this the only time Li Yuanjie's army has fought this time?"

Liu Bei nodded, and said, "After taking it, has a certain person never had any contact with this Li Yuanjie?"

Xu Shu said: "Then... my lord, did you have a grudge with this Li Yuanjie at that time? Or did you have a grudge with this Tai Shici?"

Liu Bei blinked, shook his head, and said: "Probably not. At that time, Bogui sent me to Changli, and I was a little reluctant. It was just that Yide and Taishici fought for many days, and then retreated. Zhejiang It's been too long since the incident, so I can't remember clearly, but I don't think there will be any enmity with that Li Yuanjie, if it's because of such a trivial matter, this Li Yuanjie is too small!"

Xu Shu then shook his head and murmured: "Impossible, impossible, there are only a few troops outside the city, less than three thousand, and even the most elite troops, it is impossible to have the strength to go south." When Ping Yu attacked Cao Pi, Li Yuanjie was clearly here for the lord, and the lord has no enmity with him, so what does Li Yuanjie mean and why did he come?"

At this time, Li Lin had already led people to the city, and Zhang Fei could shout: "Archers are ready, give me this point of cleverness! When the enemy is within range, let's shoot arrows!"

Li Lin heard Zhang Fei's shout from outside the city. As soon as he raised his hand, the whole army stopped immediately. Sure enough, it is big enough, and it comes with murderous intent, it is indeed Zhang Fei!"

Watching the Youliao army kill the city, everyone in Liu Bei raised their hearts in their throats, and the Youliao army under the city didn't even have a flag, so Liu Bei knew that Zhang Fei remembered Tai Shici, but Xu Shu was different. , snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph! My lord, Li Yuanjie must have come in person!"

Liu Bei was startled, and said, "Ah? How could it be? How did the military adviser see it?"

Xu Shu pointed to the city and said, "The three generals have already recognized Tai Shici, what a status this Tai Shici has in the Youliao Army, but look, my lord, the Tai Shici that the three generals mentioned is actually standing behind that person , that person must have a higher status than Tai Shici, and in the Youliao Army, who else can make Tai Shici stand behind him willingly, except Li Yuanjie?"

Liu Bei was very depressed, and said with a mournful face: "Bei has no grievances or enmity with Li Yuanjie. Why did he ignore Liu Biao's [-] troops and lead his troops here? Why?" Liu Biao was depressed, and Xu Shu was even more depressed. As a military adviser himself , I can't understand the movement of the enemy army at all, my lord asked me for some reason, I still want to know?
At this time, someone shouted in the city, and Li Lin shouted with a smile: "Uncle Liu Huang, please answer!"

As soon as Liu Bei heard this, he called him by name. This must be a personal grievance, but Liu Bei is such a character, he can't lose face in front of the soldiers, he straightened his armor, and walked forward slowly, while Zhang Fei on the side immediately ordered A shooter beside him said: "Uncle Zhi! Keep an eye on that man, and shoot him down!" Of course, Zhang Fei heard Xu Shu and Liu Bei's muttering, his eyes rolled, and he immediately asked Liu Bei to guard him. , the commander of Bai Wubing, Chen Dao, Chen Dao is only a military lord now, but even Zhang Fei knows that Chen Dao is not a small boy, especially his arrow skills, so he asked Chen Dao to directly shoot a sneer, Li Lin killed.

At the same time, Xu Shu hurried over and said in a low voice: "No, three generals. If that person is really Li Yuanjie, and Chen Junhou kills or even shoots him to death, then the Youliao army will definitely chase and kill the lord desperately. When the time comes, the lord will definitely die. The three generals will definitely die." Absolutely impossible!"

Zhang Fei had no choice but to give up when he heard it, nodded, and said, "Okay, okay, okay! Shuzhi, let's talk when you see it!" Of course, the next sentence was whispered to Chen Dao. Quickly put down the bow and arrow and stopped looking at Zhang Fei. Xu Shu shook his head helplessly and sighed. At this time, the communication between Liu Biao and Li Lin began...

Li Lin saw a man exposed from the top of the city. He had a good face, big earlobes, and his arms didn't reach his knees. He couldn't see it. He was blocked by the city wall. He had a goatee on his chin and a gentle face. The appearance of soldiers pressing down on the border, Li Lin wandering eastward and westward, probably this is the legendary Liu Bei, Liu Xuande!

Liu Bei shouted to the city: "This is Liu Xuande. I don't want the Marquis of Liao to come to Dajia today. I am prepared to be disappointed. I hope the Marquis of Liao will forgive me!"

Li Lin bowed his hands to Liu Bei, and said with a smile: "Haha, Uncle Liu Huang is really smart. The soldiers and horses led by Lin don't have flags. Uncle Huang can guess that it is Lin leading the army, and Lin admires it!" Of course Li Lin didn't fly the banner. The reason is that I have such a small number of troops, but I came here to kill Liu Bei secretly. How could people know that even the soldiers in my own battalion didn't know that my lord had left the camp and led the army to the top of the city? What's more, Li Lin's Liao flag with golden characters is still standing in the camp outside Yingyang City. Who would have thought that the flag is actually there but the people are not.

Liu Bei also bowed his hand in return, saying: "You are being polite, the Marquis of Liao. Bei is the one who really admires Marquis Liao. Marquis Liao came to the small town of Dingcheng regardless of Liu Biao's [-] troops outside Yingyang City. It is really admirable." You have to throw yourself into the ground!"
