Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Plan Fails
Cao Cao heard Zhang Liao's roar, and also turned his face away, and after thinking about it for a while, he had a certain number in his heart.
"Your Excellency!!" Cai Mao hurriedly hugged Zhang Liao's feet, and at the same time confessed everything he had done.
"Humph!! You cowardly as a mouse, if you hadn't succumbed to Liu Bei, would he let you go? It's just a traitor!! Cao Cao already had anger in his heart, and he also had a guess about Cai Mao, he must have surrendered to Liu Bei, and used this deceitful tone to be a spy.
"Someone!!" Cao Cao shouted outside the door. "In!!" Suddenly, two creeps walked in.
"Pull this Cai Mao out and cut it for me!!" Cao Cao ordered directly.
"Yes!!" The little soldier dragged Cai Mao out expressionlessly. "Prime Minister spare his life! The prime minister spared his life!! Prime Minister ......... "As Cai Mao's voice became farther and farther away, Cao Cao was indifferent.
"Report!!" Suddenly, another spy came in the door, bringing a letter.
Liu Bei hurriedly flipped through it, and it was all Xu Shu's information.
"Why can't such a capable person be used by me!!" Cao Cao looked at the sky and sighed. Zhang Liao next to him hurriedly looked over.
"If the prime minister wants that Xu Shu, there will be a way in the end." Zhang Liao bowed and said.
"Oh?? What's the solution? Cao Cao hurriedly asked, happy in his heart.
"This Xu Shu also has an eighty-year-old mother at home, if we invite them to see their mother........." Zhang Liaoyin smiled, and the result was self-evident.
"Good!! Someone ......... coming."
Fancheng, it has been three days since Liu Bei captured it.
However, Liu Bei has been absent-minded in the past few days, waiting for news from the spies.
"I think the lord seems to have something on his mind?" Because they have been deploying for the past few days, there is nothing major, and seeing Liu Bei pacing on the city, Xu Shu walked up and asked.
"It's okay......" Liu Bei laughed casually.
"Lord, since you worship me as a military advisor, then you can discuss anything with me, and you don't have to hide it in your heart." Xu Shu comforted.
"It's okay, there are some things that maybe not the right time to talk about now." Liu Bei didn't plan to tell Xu Shu about it, after all, this matter still involved him.
"Does the lord treat me as an outsider? Or do you want me to solve problems for the Lord? ”
"It's not...... Hey......" Hearing Xu Shu say this, Liu Bei sighed, thinking that forget it, he would know sooner or later anyway.
"Since Yuan Zhi insists on asking, I will also make it clear." Liu Bei sighed, but Xu Shu, who heard this, was overjoyed.
"I already knew that you didn't have a single name and a blessing character, your real name is Xu Shu!" Liu Bei said this first, and looked at Xu Shu's reaction.
Xu Shu was taken aback and asked in surprise: "How does the princess know." ”
"Because I'm just like you, I study the people of the world and the principles of heaven and earth, so when I learned that your name was Yuan Zhi, this name came up in my heart, and then I saw you commanding and leading the troops, and I determined that you were Xu Shu." It is impossible for Liu Bei to directly tell Xu Shu that he understands history.
can't help but say it, otherwise Xu Shu may think that Liu Bei is going to investigate him, which will make him have ideas in his heart.
Sure enough, after Xu Shu heard Liu Bei say this, the originally disappointed expression on his face disappeared.
"Indeed, I can't hide anything from the lord, in fact, even if there is no me, the lord can also command these three armies." Xu Shu clenched his fists.
Liu Bei waved his hand, and then told Xu Shu about his plan, saying that he had sent someone to pick up his mother, and that he had calculated that Cao Cao would definitely investigate Xu Shu, and then he would definitely use his mother as a threat.
As soon as Xu Shu heard it, he thought that what Liu Bei said was reasonable.
But hurriedly patted his head and was shocked! But before Xu Shu could speak, he heard the spies coming.
It was the two people sent by Liu Bei to pick up Xu Shu to see his mother.
"Report! Lord, you ...... You asked us to invite the old mother of the military advisor, but she kept saying that she was too old to walk, and it was inconvenient for her to walk, so she didn't come.
No matter how much we tried to persuade her, she waited for a refusal, and finally even threatened her, so we had no choice but to come and tell the lord........."
The two spies sighed a little helplessly, and it could be seen that they were also really helpless.
"Oops!!" Liu Bei was shocked in his heart, and secretly said that the situation was not good.
"Get me a fast horse!! Hurry up!! Liu Bei hurriedly said to the spy.
The spy was about to respond, but Xu Shu patted Liu Bei on the shoulder and shook his head at Liu Bei, calming Liu Bei down.
"The princess doesn't have to, I just wanted to say this to the lord, although my mother is righteous, she doesn't like the army, so even if the lord goes to invite him personally, he may not be able to come, it's better to waste the lord's time like this."
After Liu Bei heard this, he was very anxious: "You don't know anything about the military advisor, I have already told you, if your mother is not in the army now, she will definitely be taken by Cao Cao."
If you don't go now, I'm afraid it's too late!! ”
"Report!!" At this time, another person suddenly came, and it was Zhao Yun who called for the report.
Zhao Yun hurriedly walked over to Liu Bei: "The military advisor is also here." Zhao Yun also bowed to Xu Shu, and Xu Shu also returned the salute.
"Lord, Liu Bei sent a letter, saying that it was for the military advisor." Zhao Yun took out a letter from his arms, and then handed it to Liu Bei first, after all, here, the lord is still Liu Bei.
"Boom!!" "Lord !!" When Liu Bei got the letter, he secretly said that it was not good in his heart, and he didn't stand firm, so he fell down directly.
"Lord!!" Zhao Yun and Xu Shu were quick and hurriedly pulled Liu Bei back.
Liu Bei held the letter in his hand, closed his eyes, and hesitated in his heart.
Liu Bei slammed the city wall hard and slowly opened his eyes.
"That's it, it's come to this, and it may be providence." Liu Bei sighed heavily and accepted his fate.
"Does the lord know what's going on?" Zhao Yun asked a little inexplicably, he really didn't know why Liu Bei was like this.
Xu Shugang wanted to receive the letter. Liu Bei held his hand. Let Xu Shu calm down for a while.
"Zilong, set up a banquet!" Liu Bei just waved his hand at Zhao Yun and said such a sentence, and the rest didn't let him ask.
"Lord ......" After Zhao Yun left, Xu Shu still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Liu Bei.
"If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later."
"My lord, maybe it's not what my lord speculated?" Xu Shu pointed to the letter and said.
"You don't understand, I know Cao Cao too well, and I dare to guarantee the content of this letter." Liu Bei shook his head, naturally understanding what Xu Shu meant, but how could Liu Bei, who had already divided the progress of history, not understand?
Xu Shu sighed and did not persuade again.
