Chapter 214: Xu Shu Returns to Shun
"Yuan Zhi rest assured, General Ben is true to his word!"
Lu Bu said very seriously.
But when he said this, he didn't believe it himself. Because all along, he didn't value commitments. Even a covenant with a prince can be torn up at once. How much more are the words that come out of your mouth?
But this time, Lu Bu will not regret it, because since Xu's mother was taken to Shouchun, he has sent someone to serve and visit outside the city. It has witnessed the peaceful life of the people, the strength of the army, and the strange items and policies that are beneficial to the people.
Witnessed banks, chambers of commerce, newspapers, witnessed North Garden, printing factories and Nancheng Industrial Zone.
Everything shows that Lu Bu is really strong!
The most important thing is that Lu Bu asked Pan Jinlian to go to Xu's mother's words, and learned that Xu's mother also hated the family and highly praised Yangzhou.
Lu Bu is confident that he can reverse Xu Mu's mind and force Xu Shu to stay.
"My lord, the old lady is here." Zhang Feng came to report.
Xu Shu was excited.
Lu Bu said: "Please come in, old lady." ”
"No."
Mother Xu walked into the study with a cane and with the support of two maids (trained prostitutes).
Lu Bu stepped forward to salute: "Hello old lady." ”
"Okay." Xu Mu smiled and nodded. looked at Xu Shu behind Lu Bu: "Shu'er..." ”
"Mother."
Xu Shu stepped forward and held Xu's mother's hand.
When relatives meet, there is a lot to say. Lu Bu said goodbye to Xu Shu and Xu's mother, took Zhang Feng with him, and left the study. Before leaving, I didn't want to tell Xu Shu, remember to ask Xu's mother if she stayed.
"Son, aren't you working for Uncle Liu Huang, why did you get to Shouchun?" Mother Xu sat down and asked.
"When I received the news, Lu Bu sent someone to kidnap my mother, so I came non-stop." Xu Shu was very worried and asked, "Mother, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay... General Lu was very good to me. ”
Xu's mother's answer made Xu Shu feel a little bad.
He pondered for a while, and then asked, "Mother, what do you think of General Lu's personality?" Can it be compared to Uncle Liu Huang? ”
Mother Xu said: "General Lu is treacherous and brutal, and Uncle Liu Huang is benevolent and righteous. Of course, it can't be compared. ”
"Mother is wise."
Xu Shu was overjoyed, stood up and said, "Mother, General Lu has promised to send us back to Xinye." Shall we quit now? ”
Mother Xu didn't get up, and said: "My son is smart and studious, both civil and military, and has the talent to stabilize the world, so he is valued by Uncle Liu Huang." Do you have any other plans to Yangzhou today? ”
"Anything else?" Xu Shu felt that the whole person was not good, and hurriedly said, "Mother, let's go quickly." ”
"Didn't General Lu recruit you?"
"No, no, no..." Xu Shu said: "The child is dull and unbearable, General Lu is a hero of the world, and his fierce generals are like clouds and strategists are like rain, how can he take a fancy to me." ”
Mother Xu leaned on the crutches and slowly got up...
Xu Shu took a look at it and said in his heart: "I was finally convinced." ”
He knew that Lu Bu dared to bet with him, and he was completely sure, but he was also confident in his mother and would never leave him to work for Lu Bu.
However, just when Xu Shu was YY, Xu Mu got up and said, "Since General Lu doesn't like you, you go with me to see him and beg him to accept you." ”
"Huh?" Xu Shu was dumbfounded: "Mother, what are you talking about?" ”
Xu Mu said: "I said, you stay and serve General Lu, don't go back to Xinye." ”
"Why?"
"Because General Lu loves the people like a son and is a wise man."
Xu Shu was crazy, walked back and forth, and said hurriedly: "Mother, you just said that Lu Bu is treacherous and cruel, and Uncle Liu Huang is benevolent and righteous, why did you let the child stay?" ”
Xu Mu said: "It is precisely because of General Lu's treachery that he is strong and can survive in troubled times." Although Uncle Liu Huang is benevolent and righteous, he is too pedantic and will be swallowed up sooner or later. If you take refuge in him, you are destined to be difficult to achieve, and the people of the world will also suffer from war, if you take refuge in General Lu, there will be hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and the destruction of Cao is only in the snap of a finger. ”
There is a detail here, in Xu's mother's heart, she is still loyal to the Han family, thinking that the current world is still the world of the Han Dynasty, the princes are all courtiers, and Cao Cao is a rebellious minister who holds the Son of Heaven hostage, as long as Cao Cao is destroyed, you can support the Han family, and the world will return to the heart.
If Xu Shu can grasp this key point, explain Lu Bu's ambitions, and then explain Liu Bei's ambitions, he may be able to change Xu Mu's mind. It's a pity that Xu Shu has already messed up, how can he take care of so much.
"Mother, you just said that Lu Bu was brutal. How many families were slaughtered. How can a child serve him? ”
"Son, how can there be immortals in war?"
Mother Xu talked eloquently: "These days in Yangzhou, I have seen a lot of things. The Maison manipulated the market (as seen in the newspapers) and harmed the people, and it was not a pity to die. General Lu eliminated the family and restored the peace of the people, what's wrong? You serve him and strive to end the troubled times as soon as possible, this is not only my mother's wish, but also my son's wise move. ”
Xu Shu was stupid...
He never imagined that his mother's mind would change so quickly.
"Old lady, Zhen Qiliang Restaurant, a banquet has been prepared, you should go." At this time, Yahuan, who was holding Xu's mother, reminded.
Thinking of the food in Zhen Miliang's restaurant, Xu's mother couldn't help swallowing her saliva, pulled Xu Shu and said, "Shu'er, go with your mother, go to the restaurant to eat and talk about it." ”
"This..."
Xu Shu followed Xu's mother and walked out of the study.
Sitting in a luxury carriage, I came to the private room of Zhen Miliang Restaurant.
Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and Li Yuanba ordered a large table of dishes and were already waiting there.
Click...
The door of the room was pushed open, and Xu Shu and Xu Mu walked in together.
Lu Bu stepped forward, helped Mother Xu, and said, "Old lady, please." ”
During the Han Dynasty, women were not allowed to eat at the table. Especially in public, it is very strict. But in Shouchun City, there is no such rule. Everywhere you go, men and women eating together.
At the beginning, Mother Xu also felt that it was immoral and unorthodox, but gradually she got used to it, and now no matter where you go, as long as you have money in your pocket, you can buy things and eat.
"General Lu is too polite." After Xu's mother took a seat, she politely introduced Xu Shu to Lu Bu and recommended Xu Shu to Yangzhou as an official.
Lu Bu didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, and he was immediately excited, and said: "Yuan Zhi is a peerless national warrior, with unpredictable abilities of ghosts and gods, if he helps, great things will be done." ”
"Shu'er, why don't you come and meet General Lu." Xu Mu said.
Xu Shu walked up to Lu Bu with a black line at one end, and bowed his hand: "See General Lu." ”
"Yuan Zhi, hurry up and be exempt." Lu Bu stepped forward and gave him a big bear hug.
Chen Gong sat next to Xu's mother, and patted his ass vigorously: "If you have Yuan Zhi's advice, the people of Xu and Yang will be able to enjoy peace forever, old lady, your merits are immeasurable!" ”
