Chapter 313: Premeditated
Shan Fu said: "I have been prepared."
So, he whispered something in Liu Bei's ear, and he didn't know what to say.
That night, a large camp was set up, and when Cao Ren led the troops to enter, the surrounding fire broke out, and Zhao Yun entered from behind, surrounding the road.
Cao Ren knew the plan, hurriedly retreated, and fought hard to break out of the encirclement, and most of their soldiers died unexpectedly!
Cao Ren fled, Zhao Yun led the men and horses to chase and kill behind, came to the river, and was just about to cross the river with a ferry, Zhang Fei also killed him.
Most of Cao Ren's soldiers and horses died in the water, and Cao Ren crossed the river and fled.
Finally came to Fancheng, and was just about to call the door, only to see Guan Yu standing in the city tower, laughing and saying: "Cao Ren Pifu, the military advisor is clever, I have been capturing the city for a long time."
Now he is leading his men, and it is not enough to retake the city.
Cao Ren and Li Dian could only return to Xuchang in defeat, knelt on the ground and said: "More than 100,000 horses died unexpectedly, I am not Liu Bei's opponent, I regret not being at the beginning, I don't listen to people's words, please blame the prime minister!"
Cao Mengde was furious and lost tens of thousands of soldiers, making him want to kill Cao Ren.
Xiahoudun and others pleaded to save him from the death penalty.
Cao Mengde said to Li Dian: "Who gave advice to Liu Bei, and you have this failure?"
Li Dian said: "The name of the person who made the advice is Shan Fu, and I have not heard of this person's name before."
Cao Cao said: "Who is Shan Fu?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Shan Fu? This is a pseudonym, this person is young and easy to learn swordsmanship, to the end of Zhongping, revenge and murder for friends, hair and face and walking, was captured by the county official, asked his name, Shan Fu did not answer, the county official paraded the street to show the public, let people identify, because this person likes to draw a knife uneven, the people can not bear to identify him, the county official is helpless, imprisoned in prison, and then rescued by friends, changed his name and surname. He has learned from famous teachers all over the world, and often talks with Sima Hui about scriptures. is quite talented, his real name is Xu Yuanzhiye! ”
Cao Mengde said: "How does this person's talent compare with you?"
"Ten times more than me."
Cao Mengde said: "It's a pity that the idle talent fell into the hands of Liu Bei, and the pearl was secretly cast, and it can't be used by me, so what can I do?"
Cheng Yu said: "It is not difficult for the prime minister to use Xu Shu, it is not difficult."
"What do you mean by that?"
Cheng Yu said: "Xu Shu is filial piety, only his mother is on top, his brother Xu Di died, no one to support, the prime minister can make someone pick up his mother, let him write Xu Shu, Xu Shu will come to Xuchang."
Cao Mengde was overjoyed.
The envoy went to invite Xu Shu's mother overnight, and arrived in two days, Cao Mengde said to him: "Your son Xu Shu, a genius in the world, is now in Xinye, helping Liu Bei to rebel against the imperial court, I should have killed, but he is a talent, I can't bear to kill him, I hope you will write a letter to recall, Xu Shu, I will serve him with a heavy reward, if he comes, there will be a heavy reward."
After speaking, Cao Mengde took out the four treasures of the study and asked Xu Shu's mother to write a book.
But he was rejected by Xu Shu's mother.
She said: "Why should I help you write a letter, help you write a letter, for me, what is the benefit, I can't help you at all, I can't help you, you have killed countless people, you can't help, you can't help, absolutely not!"
Cao Mengde was not angry, and said kindly: "You should know that Liu Xuande is a capricious person, maybe when your son dies in his hands, I am thinking about it, you don't know what to do, Liu Bei is a thief, your son helps the thief, I kill Liu Bei, your son is guilty of the same crime as him." What's more, you should understand that this is a pearl secret investment. The end of the thief is only a dead end, you don't forget, you can't forget! ”
Xu Shu's mother smiled slightly and said, "I want him to help you, but he doesn't necessarily listen to my orders, my son is older, his wings are stiff, and he is disobedient, what do I use to call him back."
Cao Mengde smiled and said: "Don't lie to me, if I ask you to write a book, you can do it, and you have to cooperate with me."
Xu Shu's mother seems to be not afraid of death, and he is also determined to oppose him and does not plan to be with him.
She smiled slightly and said, "With you, what can you let me get, I will cooperate with you, what can you let me get?"
He said again: "Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han family, the royal family of the Han Dynasty, my son helps Liu Bei, he can gain fame and fortune, I can also gain a good reputation, even if Liu Bei is a fool, my son can also help him."
"Look at you again, you are a Hanchen, you are really a thief, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, commanding the world, even if you are smart and clever, but your name is not good. My son helped you, and not only did I not get a good name, but I became notorious. You tell me that I want face or fame. ”
"You tell me, I still want fame, and if I ask him to help you, what can you give me?"
"Although you are a Han minister, you are actually a thief, everyone under the king can be punished, you can't give me anything, you can't give me what I want, look at Liu Bei, Liu Xuande is a relative of the Han family, after King Jing of Zhongshan, he has a very good reputation outside, sympathetic to the people, loves the people, has a good reputation, and is surnamed Liu of the Han family, no matter what his real person is, but his reputation is very good, if my son helps him, I also have a good reputation."
After speaking, he actually picked up the four treasures of the study and threw them on the ground.
Cao Mengde was furious and wanted to behead this person, but this person was really rude and hopeless!
That's what he begged him for.
Not only did he not agree to write a book, but he also dared to lose his temper in front of him?
Throwing the four treasures of the study to the ground, he is the prime minister, the power is unspeakable, why should he compromise to him, he is very angry at the moment, angry, angry!
Cao Mengde said, "You old man, it's so unreasonable, come here, drag it out and cut it!" I can't let Xu Shu be used by me, what do I want her to do? ”
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Prime Minister can't!" Although she has the crime of ten thousand deaths, but he is Xu Shu's mother, he cannot be killed, if Xu Shu knows that the prime minister beheaded his mother, he will definitely be desperate for Liu Bei to offer advice to avenge his mother! ”
Cao Mengde was irritable, "If you don't want to write a book, what should I do?" ”
Cao Mengde had a headache.
In his mind, he thought of many, many things, since Xu Shu was already completely out of the mountain, then the next person would be Zhuge Kongming. No matter what, he had to stop Zhuge Kongming.
Hearing his words, Cheng Yu said: "The lord is worried, I have my own way to let Xu Shu vote for the lord."
Cao Mengde knew that Cheng Yu had a plan to let Xu Shu vote, so he didn't kill his mother and let him live in another courtyard.
In order to complete the task, Cheng Yu had great wisdom in his heart, and he thought a lot about what his heart said about these eases.
In the morning and evening, I went to Xu Shu's mother to say goodbye, shush the cold and ask for warmth, and serve with kindness.
Cheng Yu came to Xu Shu's mother and said to him: "In the past, I and Yuan Zhi used to be sworn brothers, I was the eldest brother, he was the younger brother, and now, he is not in your life, his parents are my parents, I should serve sooner or later and evening, and fulfill the responsibility of a son."
Cheng Yu bought the maid ring next to Xu Shu's mother, obtained Xu Shu's mother's handwriting, and that night, he made a clever imitation, wrote a letter, and sent it to Xu Shu.
The book is omitted: "I am in Dingzhou, I have no relatives, and I don't expect Prime Minister Cao Cheng to send someone to pick me up, make proper arrangements, say that you betrayed the court, betrayed the lord for glory, and wanted to kill me, thanks to Cheng Yu who rescued me, if you surrender, you can save me from death, if you resist stubbornly, the prime minister will definitely kill me, the letter will come to the day, the starry night will come, and return to the farmland, this life is enough!"
Xu Shu saw the letter, tears welled up, crying non-stop, crying a lot, holding a book to see Liu Xuande, it is said that it happened.
"Cao Mengde wants to kill my family, Xu Shu's mother is calling for it, if it is less, his life is in danger, Xu Shu can't go, it's not that Xu Shu doesn't do his best to work with dogs and horses, but he can't abide by filial piety."
"I have to leave today, so that I can make another plan, and I will meet again in the future."
Liu Bei was suddenly furious and said: "Xu Yuanzhi, you are so ruthless, you are really too deceitful, I just tasted the sweetness, you are leaving, you might as well not show up at the beginning, if you are reused by Cao Cao, with Cao Cao's clever calculation, I will die in your hands."
"How can you leave like this, it's immoral, and I don't allow it, what qualifications do you have to leave, you might as well not show up in the first place?"
Liu Xuande said: "Although the matter is filial, you have violated the rules of the game, you might as well not show up at the beginning, you see everything so important, aren't other people human?" Because I will never allow you to leave unless you can roll over my flesh, because you are so hateful, you have challenged my limits, how can you do this to me, how can you do this to me? ”
Liu Bei saw the letter, and he also thought of a lot in his heart, which was really hateful and made people very angry.
He hoped to keep Xu Yuanzhi, so he cried loudly, and cried very sadly, and at this time, it can be seen how sad he is.
In addition to ten points in his mind, he is very emotional?
He wants to keep Xu Yuanzhi, and he also needs to make Xu Yuanzhi believe in him, and he shouldn't betray him no matter what.
Xu Shu was about to leave after worshipping Liu Bei, Liu Bei grabbed Xu Shu and said, "Please don't leave today, please stay for a few more days, stay for a few days, and let me see you off."
Sun Qian said to Liu Bei in private: "Don't let Xu Shu leave, Xu Yuanzhi knows the secrets of our army, and the effect is too great, you can't let him leave here, let Cao Mengde reuse this person, otherwise it will be a catastrophe for our army!"
"If you can keep it, keep it. If you really can't keep it, I also recommend killing Xu Yuanzhi! ”
Liu Bei said: "Doing such an extreme thing always feels too much, not to mention missing people, it is human nature."
Guan Yu said: "You must not do such an extreme thing, this is the extinction of human nature, the loss of heavenly principles, as the son of man, the reason why this is so, this is human nature, and it has nothing to do with the facts."
Zhang Fei said: "I also think it's too ruthless to do this, I always feel that humanity is exterminated, they are all flesh and blood people, and things in the world are nothing more than feelings."
Sun Qian said: "This is the woman's opinion!"
"As long as you delay the sun and the moon, it will be of some use, Cao Cao saw Xu Yuanzhi for a long time, he will definitely kill Xu Shu's mother, and when Xu Shu is sad, he will definitely fight against Cao Mengde with all his heart, and assist the lord to kill Cao Cao and avenge Xu Shu's mother!"
Hearing his words, Liu Bei made a high-minded appearance, such words are really good, and there is great hope for killing Cao Mengde.
Liu Bei said: "This practice is too extreme, too ruthless, and it is not a formal way!"
"I have made up my mind, kill Xu Shu, he can't be used by me, it's better to kill him, hearing these words, it makes people feel very ruthless."
Zhao Yun said: "The lord wants to kill this person, and if he kills, he will be killed, and he may not have left the name of harming the virtuous, who dares to vote from all over the world?"
It makes perfect sense that I decided not to kill this man.
Liu Xuande invited Xu Shu to drink, and Xu Shu said: "Now that Cao Mengde has imprisoned my relatives, even the delicacies of the mountains and seas are difficult to swallow."
Liu Xuande said: "I know that you are about to leave today, it is like losing your right arm, even if it is difficult for gold to move my heart."
The two of them had their own hearts, and although they had a thousand words in their hearts, they could no longer say them at this time, and it was very painful.
The generals arranged to travel ten miles outside the city, and Liu Bei and Xu Shu went out of the city and arrived at the Ten Mile Pavilion.
Liu Xuande raised his glass and said to Xu Shu: "Liu Beifu has a shallow life, he can't live and die with Mr., I hope Mr. can do good deeds to the new master and achieve the hegemony of the ages."
Liu Bei said.
Xu Shu said: "I am an incompetent person, Mr. should look for Ming Gong, my intelligence is too shallow, not a desirable person, after I leave, don't worry about me, I wish you success!"
Liu Bei said: "After Mr. left, I was already discouraged, why should I talk about fame and fame again, fame and fortune are floating clouds, it doesn't matter anymore, I don't want it anymore!"
"After my husband left, I should go to the mountains and fields, ploughing the fields, and not seeking fame."
Xu Shu said: "I originally wanted to accomplish the great cause with the lord and help the Han family, but Cao Mengde messed with me, and my heart was already in turmoil!" Even if I stay here, it won't help, I have no beginning and no end, and I don't have enough to worry about! ”
"If the lord wants to become a great thing, he can seek a wise man elsewhere."
Confucius said that within ten rooms, there must be sages, and if the lord wants to achieve great things, he should work tirelessly to seek talents.
Liu Bei said: "In this world, your talent is unparalleled, but I am afraid that no one in the world has the talent of Mr., this is what I am worried about."
"I'm really a mediocre talent, how can I be so valued by the lord?"
parting, he said to the generals: "I hope that the princes will wholeheartedly assist Liu Yuanjun, make a name for themselves in prison, engrave the history of spring, and spread it widely, as if it is not advisable for me to be in such a room!"
"I am an incompetent person, and I am not worthy of what the Lord said, if I leave, I hope that you will treat the Lord well in the name of fulfillment."
Hearing his words, Guan Yu said: "Cao Cao's approach is really good, I want to go into Luoyang to rescue Mrs. Xu, I don't know if it?"
"You're not his opponent, you can't do this, to tell the truth, you can't find it and look for death, and even if you are the God of the Seven Mountains, you have no skills to use!"
