In fact, all the decisions Xu Shu made at the beginning were not wrong in theory.

Knowing that Lü Bu rode out of the city with the wolf, he guessed that he was going to sneak up on the rear army, thus causing the great general Guan Yubu to stumble on the horse array.

Xu Shu’s strategy made the wolf rider lose his war horse, and it should be said that they have succeeded.

Unfortunately, what neither Xu Shu nor Guan Yu expected was that even if they lost their war horses, the combat power of the wolf riding was still so strong that it was suffocating.

Lü Bu’s strength exceeded Xu Shu and Guan Yu’s expectations.

The hundreds of thousands of troops could not stop the wolf riders, and Guan Yu was unable to block Lü Bu’s attack.

When Guan Yu was seriously wounded and covered by Shu soldiers to retreat, Xu Shu chose to storm Shang County.

Under that circumstance, Xu Shu’s decision was undoubtedly correct.

It’s just that Xu Shu overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Shu army, underestimated the strength of Cao and Zang Ba and others who guarded Shang County, and underestimated the lethality of Lü Bu and the wolf horse.

In the end, the Shu army failed to capture Shang County before Lü Bu captured Guan Yu and rushed back to Shang County.

If he had ordered the army to turn around and rescue the general Guan Yu, he might have been able to save it.

But in that case, it is bound to cause the Shu army to suffer greater losses.

Xu Shu firmly believes that he is not wrong, but the result is not what he wants.

Before Liu Bei arrived, Xu Shu took the initiative to take all the responsibility, and Liu Bei verbally forgave him.

But Xu Shu knew that Liu Bei did not really forgive himself.

Although their own decision seemed correct to themselves, no one cared about the process, and the result they saw was that the Shu general Guan Yu and the vanguard general Wei Yan were captured by Lü Bu, the dragon general of the Longhan Empire.

This is the final result, the same thing, the result is different, in the eyes of others there will be two interpretations.

If Xu Shu succeeds, he will undoubtedly become the biggest contributor to this battle.

He failed, then this matter became that he wanted to deliberately murder the great general Guan Yu and become an existence above ten thousand people under one person.

Although this rumor was suppressed by Liu Bei, Xu Shu knew very well that many military generals in the Shu Kingdom had changed their gaze to themselves.

Especially those Shu generals who originally wanted to save Guan Yu, but were ordered by Xu Shu to storm Shang County, believed in this rumor.

Originally, Xu Shu didn’t care what those Wen Chen Wu generals thought of him, but he still tried his best to advise Liu Bei and formulate a set of strategies to rescue Guan Yu and Wei Yan.

Before it could be implemented, the news came that the combined forces of Shu and Wei had been defeated and the county was destroyed, and then there were continuous reports of several cities being breached.

Xu Shu read these war reports and found a problem.

All the breached cities are on the Shu-Wei dividing line.

It was clear that the Longhan Empire wanted to capture the Shu-Wei dividing line, and set up a strong defensive line on the dividing line to cut off the connection between the Shu and Wei states.

At that time, the Longhan Empire would be able to defeat the Shu and Wei states one by one.

Once the defensive line was arranged, the Shu and Wei kingdoms basically had no chance to turn over.

But now that the Longhan Empire has just captured the Shu-Wei dividing line in Nanyang County, it is the most likely time to recapture the dividing line by killing it back at this time.

If the Wei state had the same mind and sent troops to seize the Shu-Wei dividing line, there would be a ninety percent chance of recapturing the Shu-Wei dividing line.

Unfortunately, Liu Bei, who had been obedient to his words in the past, strongly vetoed his plan for the first time.

Returning home with the army?

What can I do when I return home?

Wait for the Longhan Empire to control all the Shu-Wei dividing lines in Jingzhou step by step, and then break the Shu State and the Wei State one by one and unify the world?

When the soldiers left to mobilize the army, Xu Shu wanted to speak several times, but finally gave up.

Liu Bei did not forgive himself, even if he said that he broke the sky, he could not eliminate the anger in his heart.

In the end, Liu Bei left only a small number of troops to guard Fengxiang, and then crossed the border of Jingzhou with all the remaining Shu troops and returned to Shu from Hanzhong County.

After returning to the Shu capital, Liu Bei did not remove Xu Shu from his post, but rarely listened to Xu Shu’s tactics again.

Bai Guan also seemed to have forgotten this Prime Minister of the Shu Kingdom, and he spoke enthusiastically at the Chao Meeting, but he never mentioned the word Prime Minister.

Xu Shu also gradually became silent, no longer taking the initiative to stand up and give advice, just like a transparent person.

Besides, Cao Cao, who went to Wancheng, was originally going to personally deal with Zhang Xiu’s affairs.

Zhang Xiu, on the other hand, also learned of Cao Cao’s suspicions of himself from the mysterious advisers he recruited, so he held a dinner party in his house and invited Cao Cao and others to the banquet.

At the banquet, Cao Cao drank a little too much, and Zhang Xiu left Cao Cao to rest in the house.

But said that Zhang Xiu’s aunt Zou Shi has gradually been snubbed since Zhang Ji’s death.

At this time, seeing the Wei emperor Cao Cao appear in the palace, he wanted to find a more powerful backer.

If he can hook up with Cao Cao, even if he can’t become a concubine of the Wei Kingdom, he can become a nobleman or something.

No matter what it is, it is better than staying in Wancheng and being a widow for the rest of your life.

So, the next day, the Zou family left Zhang’s mansion alone, and appeared in Cao Cao’s sight on the street seemingly unintentionally.

Zou Shi was very beautiful, and he specially dressed himself up, which immediately fascinated Cao Cao.

It is said that Cao Cao, who founded the Wei state, has an unknown hobby, that is, he especially likes human women.

Zou was born so beautiful, which naturally made Cao Cao’s heart itch.

Seeing this, his nephew Cao Anmin sent someone to inquire about Zou’s identity.

When Cao Cao learned that it was Zhang Xiu’s aunt, he immediately hesitated.

Cao Anmin said, “Isn’t Your Majesty worried about how to deal with Zhang Xiu?” You might as well take this opportunity to make the Zou clan a nobleman.

If that Zhang Xiu is dissatisfied and has a change, His Majesty has the opportunity and excuse to get rid of Zhang Xiu.

If there is no dissatisfaction with that embroidery, it means that he is absolutely loyal to His Majesty, and His Majesty can rest assured.

And no matter what the situation was, His Majesty not only handled Zhang Xiu’s affairs well, but also got the Zou family, killing two birds with one stone. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately asked Cao Anmin to give Zhang Xiu a holy decree to make Zou a nobleman.

At the same time, Cao Cao laid an ambush at his residence, and if Zhang Xiu made a change, he attacked and killed him, and there would be no future troubles.

After receiving Cao Cao’s holy decree, Zhang Xiu was extremely angry, he did his best for Cao Cao and the Wei Kingdom, but Cao Cao insulted my aunt’s reputation?
