Chapter 444: Don’t rely on others to live under the fence, Liu Bei stood up
"But Yuan Zhi is outside the door? Please come in quickly, please come in quickly!"
This was great, Liu Bei put down his chopsticks, stopped eating, stopped drinking, and ran straight out the door without wearing any shoes.
As soon as I went out, I saw a man in a Ge scarf and cloth robe. He was wearing black shoes. He had a dignified appearance. To put it bluntly, one look at him and he knew that he was a decent person.
And looking at Liu Bei's reaction, we can basically know the importance of Xu Yuanzhi in Liu Bei's heart.
"The emperor saw that I was in a hurry. There is no need to be like this. Why don't you let me guess? Why did the emperor sigh?"
Xu Shu was not unfamiliar with him. He swung the small cloth bag behind his back and Liu Bei immediately picked it up for him. The two of them strode towards the house.
"Hey! How can you be so disappointed? Yuan Zhi has come all the way, and I will do my best to serve as a landlord. Today I will cleanse the dust for Yuan Zhi, nothing else!"
"Zilong, go and inform the soldiers that no matter who it is today, they are not allowed to disturb you for no reason!"
Liu Bei flicked his sleeves and waved his hands. In order to show his only generosity and reputation, he gave several orders and asked his subordinates to take care of the government office.
Zhao Yun nodded silently, stepped out, and quickly arranged the border defense arrangements.
Having said that...after half a stick of incense, there was no one in the entire Xinye County government office.
Outside the brightly lit little house, Zhang and Zhang personally guarded the door. Outside, Zhao Yun led the soldiers to guard against all possible dangers.
Just because Liu Bei could see Xu Shu's situation from what he saw just now.
The dust all over the house was caused by Xu Shu beating his clothes. For this, Xu Shu also apologized to Liu Bei:
"The concubine came in a hurry, and she didn't bring her heart with her. Instead, she brought with her the dust of the world. I hope my uncle Haihan..."
Xu Shu bowed respectfully to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was not happy yet, so how could he blame Xu Shu?
"What the hell! Yuan Zhi came here because of his sincerity. If you say these sarcastic words again, don't blame me for being angry!"
"Hehehe..."
At this point, Xu Shu finally let go of his attitude and let go of a stone in his heart.
If Liu Bei didn't give him a good look, he might really be disappointed.
Why did his famous Xu Yuanzhi come all the way at the beginning of spring?
The reason for everything must be found from Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou.
——
"Liu Biao is suspicious and incompetent... If Jingzhou continues like this, I'm afraid he will only become the first piece of fish for Cao Cao when he goes south..."
"Moreover, my old mother is old and can no longer withstand the fatigue of traveling and traveling. Instead of escaping, it is better to fight to the death with that thief here!"
Xu Shu couldn't eat, so he told Liu Bei a lot of his difficulties, and finally expressed his thoughts.
"Uncle Emperor, you and I have known each other for many years. I admire your uncle's character and virtue. If your uncle doesn't dislike it, my lord..."
"Yuanzhi! Yuanzhi! How can we be so polite between you and me... You don't know how long I have been waiting for this day!"
"If you have Yuanzhong to help me, I can help the Han Dynasty just around the corner... just around the corner!"
Xu Shu said aggrievedly, a famous person like him always pursues a reputation, being loyal to the emperor but not serving the two masters. This is also a hurdle in Xu Shu's heart.
But his mother...how could he let go? He couldn't see the future with Liu Biao, but Liu Bei, who had always trusted him, made him seize the last chance.
But he didn't expect that Liu Bei's reaction would be even more violent than his.
Liu Bei almost cried - really almost cried.
Who knows how much suffering he has endured in Xinye for so many years? I think back to when he was still Liu Yuzhou...
Who knows why Cao Cao always turned disaster into disaster as if he had divine help - could it be that Cao Cao also encountered some wise man who could always give him advice?
——
Far away in Yecheng, Yi Xiaotian, who was stepping up his efforts to expand wool sweater production, suddenly sneezed.
"Sir, is it possible that you have also contracted the cold?"
Zhen Luo heard it from a distance and came over to investigate. Yi Xiaotian shook his body, feeling a little strange.
"No way?"
He lifted off a layer of his woolen sweater, then another layer of woolen sweater, and then...
"In our hometown, there is a custom that once someone misses you... you will sneeze."
"ah…"
When Zhen Luo was asked this question by Yi Xiaotian, her face suddenly turned red and she stopped talking.
——
Jingzhou, Xinye City.
In short, he was dependent on others and controlled by others. He had no good generals, no soldiers, no horses, no good strategies. Seeing Cao Cao's rapid development, he felt itchy and prickly...
It's finally here - Xu Yuanzhi is the person he was waiting for.
That night, I heard a grown man making ghostly noises in the house every now and then. If Guan Zhang and others had not known who was in the house, they might have had some different ideas.
But the fact is that Liu Bei is getting better.
He felt that he could finally stand up.
——
After three rounds of drinking, the chatterbox naturally opened up.
There Liu Bei denounced all kinds of evil deeds of Cao Cao, such as burning, killing, looting, trapping, killing and surrendering troops, etc., as long as he could say it, Liu Bei reprimanded him over and over again.
In his opinion, Cao Cao, a man who came from the same troubled times as him, obviously had similar paths, but Cao Cao went higher and higher, and Liu Bei became more and more useless. Why?
Of course Xu Shu understood Liu Bei's grievances. After appeasing Liu Bei, he not only made the point clear, but also helped Liu Bei immediately point out the key to the current situation:
"If it's just Cao Cao, my lord still has a detour..."
Xu Shu's words were plain, he just told Liu Bei that they could still run away if they couldn't fight, and they could still rely on Jingzhou's complicated waterways to deal with Cao Cao, but the rest...
"My lord, do you know that Cao Cao is more powerful than a tiger? Who paved the way for him?"
Xu Shu changed the topic and suddenly talked about the people behind Cao Cao.
Liu Bei was thinking about it and suddenly thought of a rumor.
There is a treasure land called Youjian Villa in the north. The owner of the Villa is a reclusive genius who does not serve as an official. Some people say that Cao Cao is always able to turn disaster into disaster because of this man's ingenious tricks. Could it be...
"The owner of Yi Village of Youjian Villa?"
"Exactly."
Xu Shu nodded.
"But this person... can he be even more outstanding than you, Yuan Zhi?"
Liu Bei laughed loudly and patted Xu Shu's shoulder with a smile, but he didn't realize that Xu Shu's shoulders were quite stiff.
How could Liu Bei belittle Xu Shu in front of him? Although he raised questions, Liu Bei did not believe that a so-called hermit could have such a big impact on the overall situation of the world.
I just didn't expect Xu Shu to laugh, and it was quite embarrassing:
"Lord, let me tell you the truth, I am not as good as him... So if Cao Cao goes south next, we must take him by surprise. If we resist Cao Cao's army step by step, we have no chance of winning."
Xu Shu said it calmly, but it broke Liu Bei's heart.
At first he thought Xu Shu was joking, but when he heard Xu Shu's words "no chance of winning"——
Liu Bei's smile froze, and he knew that the other party was not joking at all.
It's just a surprise...how can we catch Cao Cao off guard?
