Cao Hong said: "Prime Minister, Liu Bei worshiped a new military advisor named Xu Shu. It was at his suggestion that Liu Bei captured the four counties of Jingnan and expanded his army in a few months. ”

"Xu Shu?" Cao Cao asked, "Who is Xu Shu?" ”

Guo Jia said: "The minister knows Xu Shu, the character is straight, a native of Yingchuan Changshe, who studied at Yingchuan Academy, and he is also a disciple of Mr. Shuijing. Speaking of which, it's still the senior brother of his subordinates. ”

"Xu Shu's talent, how is it compared to Fengxiao?" Cao Cao asked.

"Ten times better than me!"

"No way, is there anyone in the world who is ten times better than you? Isn't that a god? In Cao Cao's mind, Guo Jia's strategy is unmatched.

The strategists and generals present all shook their heads with a smile.

is ten times better than Guo Jia, it is estimated that only immortals can do it.

"Bong-hyo will exaggerate." Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"Ten times or more!" Guo Jia said with certainty: "Xu Shu has never been out of the mountain, but when he was in Yingchuan Academy, the talent he showed was not under the minister. The minister suggested that if you want to eliminate Liu Bei and seize the four counties of Jingnan, you must solve Xu Shu, otherwise, it will be very dangerous for our army to enter Jingnan. ”

Cao Cao's face became gloomy: "Liu Bei used to only have Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, etc., all of whom were horsemen, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Now the strategist Xu Shu has been added, like a tiger with wings. Isn't he going to turn the world upside down? ”

"Bonghyo, what do you think... Can you persuade Xu Shu to surrender? ”

Guo Jia said: "It is impossible to persuade you to surrender." Xu Shu traveled all over the world, just to find the master and show his talents, he has found it now, how can he betray? ”

"You just said that Xu Shu must be solved, what do you suggest?" Cao Cao asked.

"There's a way for you."

"Bong-hyo please."

Guo Jia said: "Xu Shu is a dutiful son, he has traveled for many years, and he owes a lot to his mother. The prime minister can send someone to Changshe County, Yingchuan, and ask the old lady to come here to cultivate and treat her well. Then the old lady wrote to Xu Shu and asked him to go to Xiangyang for a while. After Xu Shu received his mother's letter, he would definitely come non-stop. ”

"Feng Xiao's plan is wonderful!" Xun You on the side said: "Filial piety comes first, Xu Shu will definitely come!" ”

"Hmm."

Cao Cao also nodded and said, "Hurry up and send someone to Yingchuan, beware that Liu Bei will pick up the old lady first." ”

"Yes."

Guo Jia went to do this himself.

A month later.

Jingnan.

Changsha County.

Liu Bei set his government office in Linxiang, Changsha County, which was the seat of Changsha and close to the water city of Baqiu, so that it was easy to resist Cao's army.

Church.

Liu Bei sat in everyone, next to Xu Shu.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Zhou Cang, Chen Dao, Mi Fang, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, etc., are lined up on both sides. Today, the military generals under Liu Bei have taken shape.

"Big brother, after two months of operation, we have recruited 30,000 soldiers from the four counties, 14,000 from the old Jingzhou Army, plus the 3,000 veterans we brought, there are nearly 50,000 troops. Among them, 5,000 sailors, 3,000 cavalry, and 40,000 infantry troops. We are now strong soldiers, Cao Cao dares to attack, and he will not return! Guan Yu squinted Danfeng's eyes and smiled.

"Hahaha... All right! Zhang Fei shouted: "This time you can do a lot of work!" ”

"Good!"

Liu Bei also looked happy.

After capturing the four counties of Jingnan, his strength increased greatly.

In the past, there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and they fought in the east and west, and there was not even a place to live.

And now it's different, he has half of Jingzhou and 50,000 soldiers!

Liu Bei slowly got up and gave Xu Shu a big salute.

"Why is the lord like this?" Xu Shu helped Liu Bei up.

"If there is no gentleman, I Liu Bei has no fixed place to live, and I am running around, when can I help the Han family? Now that there are four counties in Jingnan, the army is getting stronger and stronger, all thanks to Mr. ”

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said: "What the eldest brother said is right, Mr. is like a god and knows the art of war." Without Mr., we would not have been able to capture the four counties of Jinnan. ”

"Now that Mr. is here, we will be more sure of Cao Cao."

"yes..." The generals also nodded.

When attacking the four counties of Jingnan, Xu Shu's talent made them sincerely admire.

With a few thousand soldiers, tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops were stationed in Jiancheng, and a large number of brave generals and soldiers were surrendered. There were more than a dozen generals present, and there was not a single one who did not admire.

Xu Shu said politely: "This is all the wisdom of the lord. ”

"Sir, please be seated."

"My lord, please."

After the two sat down.

Liu Bei asked, "Sir, what should we do next?" ”

"Next, the lord should go to Jiangxia and meet with Liu Biao. showed his determination to resist Cao to the death and asked him to send troops to help. Then send an envoy to Fu Dongwu to persuade Sun Quan to send troops to attack Hefei and contain Cao Cao's forces in Yangzhou. The generals, on the other hand, commanded the troops and horses of all units and trained them strictly. When the war starts, it can compete with Cao Cao. Xu Shu said.

"Well, I'll leave for Jiangxia immediately." Liu Bei responded.

"Lord, we have seized Liu Biao's four counties in Jingnan, will he take the opportunity to harm the lord?" Zhao Yun said.

Liu Bei looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu said: "Don't worry, Liu Biao will not harm the lord." Because he understands that only the lord can protect Jing Xiang, if the lord is sick and Cao Cao's army is coming, how can he resist? What's more, Jingnan has our army of 50,000, not far from Jiangxia, how dare Liu Biao do harm? ”

Liu Bei responded: "Okay, without further ado, I will go to Jiangxia tomorrow." After I leave, the generals must obey the orders of the military division and guard Jingnan. ”

"No."

"Stand down. I have something to say to my husband. Liu Bei waved his hand.

"No..."

The congregation will exit the lobby.

"What else does the lord have to explain?" Xu Shu asked.

"Actually, it's nothing..." Liu Bei frowned and said: "The four counties of Jingnan are Liu Jingsheng's foundation, I took advantage of it and took it for myself, although it was to resist Cao, but it was unrighteous after all." When I went to Jiangxia, I was still worried. After seeing Liu Jingsheng, how should I deal with myself? ”

"Don't worry, lord. We have already given Liu Biao an excerpt before, indicating that Jing Nan is still his, and the lord is only managing it on his behalf and recruiting troops to resist Cao. Liu Biao doesn't account for it, let alone ... When he said this, Xu Shu got up and looked out of the door, and said with a smile: "I watched the world at night, and saw that the main star was dark and the guest star was bright, Liu Biao would not live long, and the lord would become the lord of Jingxiang." If Liu Biao entrusts his subordinates' soldiers and horses and Jiangxia County to the lord, the lord must take over. We need it so much now.... ”

"Is that true?"

"In front of the lord, how dare you talk nonsense?"

Liu Bei's face changed suddenly, both surprised and happy, but after thinking about it, he said with a sad face: "I occupy Jingnan, it is already unjust, how can I be the lord of Jingzhou?" How should the world view me? ”
