Xu Shu actually had an idea in his heart, that is, he wanted to teach Liu Yu, the overlord of the world, a lesson. Xu Shu investigated Liu Yu and found that Liu Yu would make a lot of plans before going to war, and then he could be invincible. At present, the only one who can make Liu Yu fail is Cao Cao, who is also a hegemon-level figure. It's a pity that Cao Cao only won once. But it was that time that Cao Cao's subordinates felt that Liu Yu was not invincible, even if Cao Cao still had a state, his subordinates and the army wanted to believe that Cao Cao could defeat Liu Yu and retake the Central Plains.

As long as Liu Yu is defeated, then Xu Shu, as a strategist, will definitely be famous through the ages.

This is Xu Shu's ambition, and his lifelong pursuit is nothing more than to make himself famous through the ages. All glory and wealth are floating clouds.

Liu Bei had an order, and his subordinates began to move.

"Strategist, what do you want us to do to teach Liu Yu a lesson?" Zhang Fei and Wei Yan came directly to Xu Shu, and they wanted to know what arrangements Xu Shu would have.

"The two generals will go and prepare first, and straighten out the soldiers. There is still a little more thing to discuss with the lord. Xu Shu said.

Zhang Fei and Wei Yan both understood that Xu Shu must have something to say that Liu Bei needed to decide personally, and it was inconvenient to say it in public.

Liu Bei's IQ is still okay, and there are many smart people, so they left very interestingly.

After everyone left, Xu Shu came to Liu Bei and whispered, "The lord doesn't know how you are going to go to Jiangxia?" ”

"How to get there? Can you be more elaborate? Liu Bei really didn't think of this.

"There are two ways to get to Jiangxia. One is by land and the other by water. If you go by water, you can go directly to Jiangxia, but if you go by land, you have to go through Xiangyang. And now Jiangxia's guard is still Cai Mao's right-hand man Zhang Yun. Xu Shu said.

Liu Bei was a little panicked in his heart, there were still many problems with going to Jiangxia.

"Jiangxia is still in Zhang Yun's hands, so in the opinion of the military advisor, how should I deal with myself?" Liu Bei asked.

Xu Shu said directly: "Don't worry, the lord has already let General Mi attack Jiangxia, and there must be results." With Zhang Yun's timid character, I'm afraid he has already thought about leaving Jiangxia. ”

Liu Bei was a little relieved, as long as Zhang Yun left Jiangxia, then he could enter Jiangxia smoothly.

In fact, Jiangxia's Zhang Yun didn't want to stay in Jiangxia County for a long time, Jiangxia County was almost harmed by Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and the people's livelihood withered, Zhang Yun was the dignified deputy governor of Jingzhou, and he felt irritated when he stayed in this ghost place for a long time.

At this time, Mi Fang was making waves in Jiangxia, and Zhang Yun was really annoyed, so he simply left Jiangxia with all the Jingzhou soldiers. So much so that Jiangxia is now under Mi Fang's rule.

"Lord, the livelihood of Jiangxia has withered, and Ding Zhuang has been taken captive by Sun Ce to Jiangdong." Xu Shu's meaning is already obvious.

Jiangxia County is no longer than before, and the population is pitiful. For a power to grow and grow, it needs a population. Without a population, food, taxes, and soldiers are all in vain.

Liu Bei understood what Xu Shu meant, and he said with a smile: "Maybe you can let the people of Nanyang go to Jiangxia with Liu Bei." ”

Liu Bei is very confident, he has always paid attention to benevolence and righteousness, and he has always felt that he is good to the people of Nanyang, as long as he leaves Nanyang, there will definitely be people who will follow him. For the sake of his benevolence and righteousness, Liu Bei has spoken ill of Liu Yu in front of the people more than once, and his purpose is to stabilize the people.

Xu Shu and Liu Bei are a match made in heaven, and both of them laugh at each other.

"That's it. We have to pass through Xiangyang, after all, our ships are insufficient. Xu Shu said worriedly.

Liu Cong and Cai Mao will definitely not let Liu Bei go, if they pass through Xiangyang, it is difficult to guarantee that Liu Cong and Cai Mao will not send troops to stop them.

Liu Bei smiled: "If Liu Cong doesn't want to stay in Jingzhou, then let him come." ”

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, and finally understood Liu Bei's intentions.

If Liu Bei took the people of Nanyang County to Jiangxia together, and Liu Cong sent troops to block it when he passed through Xiangyang, then Liu Cong's reputation would be over.

Nanyang County is also regarded as the territory under the command of Jingzhou Thorn History, and the people of Nanyang County are also good people under the rule of Jingzhou Thorn History. Liu Cong, as the assassin of Jingzhou, once he sent troops to stop Liu Bei, then he would definitely make the people who followed Liu Bei suffer. In this way, Liu Cong gained a notoriety that caused the people to ignore it, and greatly lost the hearts of the people of Jingzhou.

Liu Bei had long been able to understand the role of the ordinary people, and he gave a hundred dares to Liu Cong and Cai Mao, and they didn't dare to come out to stop him. And he, Liu Bei, could still perform a good show at that time and regain the reputation of benevolence and righteousness again.

For the safety of thousands of people, Liu Xuande, the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, and the emperor's uncle Liu Bei Liu Xuande resolutely risked being chased and killed by Liu Yu, and Liu Cong took the people away from the war. What a righteousness! Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness will definitely resound throughout the world. Thinking of such a name, Liu Bei felt that even if he failed and was captured in the future, no matter which prince, even if it was Liu Yu, he would have to weigh it if he wanted to kill himself.

"The lord is wise!" Xu Shu flattered.

In fact, Liu Bei has another ulterior purpose.

Nanyang County can't hold it. Liu Yubing is strong and strong, and it may not be long before he can defeat the resistance of Xu Shu, Zhang Fei and Wei Yan. This is not that Liu Bei does not believe in the ability of Xu Shu, Zhang Fei and Wei Yan, but the recognition of Liu Yu's strength.

Once Liu Yu's army pursues and kills, Liu Bei can put all the people who follow him behind the army to stop Liu Yu. Liu Yu has become the emperor, and he is a common man with benevolence and virtue. So in the face of these defenseless people, will your Liu Yu's army raise the butcher knife in its hand.

Liu Bei calculated very well, if Liu Yu's army talked about benevolence and virtue and did not use knives against the people, then Liu Bei could leave calmly. It would be better if Liu Yu's troops went on a killing spree. Liu Bei believed that there must be a lot of people who followed him, and it was impossible for Liu Yu's troops to kill them all at once if they wanted to kill, Liu Bei could cry and reprimand Liu Yu's cruelty at that time, and then leave peacefully.

Liu Bei gave a fierce thumbs up for his plan.

And Xu Shu didn't expect that his lord had so many calculations.

"Yuan Zhi, arrange some activities among the people." Liu Bei said quietly.

"I understand that Xianhe is eloquent, so it's better to let him go." Xu Shu has a very suitable candidate.

Liu Bei nodded and agreed, Jian Yong is indeed a good candidate, and he is his fellow countryman, absolutely reliable.
