Recently, except for some small frictions around, everything in Jingzhou is basically peaceful, and all aspects such as Chidao, Yixue, and Yinhao are proceeding in an orderly and smooth manner, and Liu Yong is very pleased.

Chen Zhi's "white-haired army" training has basically taken a certain shape, and Liu Yonggang has just finished inspecting the training of the white-haired army, and he is very appreciative of Chen Zhi's achievements.

As soon as he entered the city, Pang Tong came a few steps with an ugly look, and Liu Yong immediately secretly screamed in his heart: "Shiyuan, what happened?" ”

Pang Tongyi's face was angry: "Cao Cao robbed Xu Yuanzhi's wife to Xuchang, and now he sent someone to send a handwritten letter from his mother to Yuanzhi, Yuanzhi was so worried that he cried bitterly!" ”

"Buzz!" Liu Yong felt that his head was about to explode, and after all his calculations, he still didn't prevent this from happening, and the historical event happened again, but it was only a few years earlier.

"Hasn't Yuanzhi's old lady always been protected? Were all those people killed? Liu Yong suddenly remembered that Xu Shu said that his mother did not want to come to Xiangyang, but he sent someone to protect him.

Pang Tong smiled bitterly: "Mother Xu is a very strong woman, saying that Cao Cao is not benevolent, although the lord was born humblely, but he is dedicated to the country and the people, his son is loyal to the country, it is a duty thing, there is no need to be favored, the people sent by the lord were sent back by Mother Xu, leaving only two maidservants." Yuan Zhi was afraid that the old lady would be angry, so he didn't let him tell the lord. Originally, his subordinates also thought that it was too much for the lord to send people to protect him, so he didn't care, but he didn't expect ......"

Liu Yong felt a strong burst of anger, he was not angry with Cao Cao, but angry with himself. He always knew it was going to happen, but he didn't think it could be prevented, and what he didn't want to happen happened anyway.

At the same time, he felt a deep sadness, which was a feeling that he should never have at his age, because even before the crossing, it was only in his twenties, and this kind of desolation of an old man should not be there, but at this moment, he felt it, not only for himself, but also for Xu Shu. In this world, no one knows better than him what scene is waiting for Xu Shu in Xuchang, he knows it but it is difficult to stop it, he feels very powerless. He can completely say this result, but Xu Shu will never believe it, because he is filial!

"Lord, what should I do?" Even Pang Tong, who has always been resourceful, doesn't know what to do.

Liu Yong sighed: "Go and see Yuan Zhi!" ”

When Xu Shu received the letter, he was stunned, and after rushing to his home not far from the city to investigate, he suddenly sat down on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Lord, the old lady is trapped in Cao Ying, and it is really difficult for her to feel at ease, so I ask the lord to resign!" When Xu Shu saw Liu Yong coming in, he immediately felt like he had seen a life-saving straw, and he couldn't even wipe the tears off his face, and immediately stepped forward.

Liu Yong pretended to be calm and said: "Yuan Zhi, you have thought about it, once you go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to the south!" Liu Yong didn't want to say anything, but he also said the truth, Xu Shu said Cao Ying, the old lady will die clearly, he will be deeply ashamed of the old lady and Liu Yong and have no face to come back, after all, he will live his life.

Xu Shu wept and said: "The old mother is suffering, and she is so anxious that she can't go to the old lady immediately, even if she dies here, she must go!" ”

Liu Yong knew in his heart that he couldn't stop Xu Shu from defecting to Cao Ying, so he had to say: "Since my aunt is in Xuchang, Cao Cao will inevitably treat her well, Yuan Zhi might as well wait for another night, and I will practice it for you tomorrow with you!" ”

Xu Shu had no choice but to agree.

At night, Sun Qian and other ministers visited: "Lord, Xu Yuanzhi has been in Jingzhou for a long time, has a high position, and has mastered all the virtual and real things in Jingzhou, especially he is still in charge of Jin Tianwei, he knows too much, if he beats Xuchang, Cao Cao will inevitably be reused, if so, Jingzhou will be dangerous!" The lord should find a way to keep him, and never let him go. If Xu Shu doesn't go, Cao Cao will definitely kill Xu's mother, and when the time comes, Xu Shu will inevitably become mortal enemies with Cao Cao, bent on avenging his mother, and seeking for the lord for the rest of his life! ”

Liu Ye said: "What Sun Gongyou said is good, but ...... If you can't keep it, ......"

Liu Ye didn't dare to continue, but Liu Yong understood what he meant, shook his head and said: "This matter is not okay, it is unkind to design Cao Cao to kill his mother and let his son be used by me; Leaving Xu Shu and not letting him leave is tantamount to severing their mother-son relationship, which is unjust. Although I am not a person of great benevolence and righteousness, I have also read poetry and books, and I know etiquette. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all impressed: "The lord is really a righteous king, and his subordinates are ashamed!" ”

On the second day, ten miles outside the city, Liu Yong and everyone sent each other, Xu Shu bowed to Liu Yong and wiped his eyes with both hands: "Lord, Xu Shu...... Go! ”

When Pang Tong heard Xu Shu say this, he knew that it was irretrievable, and sighed: "Brother Yuanzhi, go to different sides of the sky, take care!" ”

"Shi Yuan, take care, after I leave, you will do your best to assist the lord, the lord is a rare master at that time, this is the great fortune of life. It's a pity that Xu Shu is blessed, and he has already reported his heart of death, no matter how Cao Cao coerces and seduces, he will not do anything for him for the rest of his life. Although Xu Shu was saying it to Pang Tong, everyone understood that he was saying it to Liu Yong, but he was shameless to face Liu Yong.

After all, Xu Shu couldn't get around Liu Yong, and knelt down to Liu Yong and said: "Lord, Xu Shu is only a shallow learner, and he has been in Jingzhou for a long time, but he has not contributed much to the lord, and he is really a great favor. Let the virtuous person assist the lord, the lord is the lord of the world, the talent of the lord, rare in the world, waiting for the day when the lord will rule the world! No matter where you are born, you will beat the drum and raise wine to celebrate! ”

Liu Yong smiled: "Then borrow Yuan Zhijiyan, I am also waiting for this day!" ”

"Lord, I am so anxious, this ...... And there it went! Xu Shu's voice suddenly choked.

"Yuan Zhi!"

Xu Shu had just gotten on the horse and walked a few steps, Liu Yong suddenly shouted loudly, he really wanted to tell him the result, but the words came to his lips but did not come out.

Xu Shu replied to the horse and asked, "Lord, do you still have orders?" ”

Liu Yong tried to calm himself down, and smiled very peacefully at Xu Shu: "It's okay, I just saw a weed on your bun!" ”

Xu Shu only thought that Liu Yong was sad, and couldn't help but want to keep him, maybe there were really weeds in the bun, and he didn't think much about it, but the others clearly saw that there was no trace of debris on Xu Shu's bun, but the collective automatically ignored this detail, and watched Liu Yong wave a few times casually on Xu Shu's head.

Xu Shu sat on the horse for a long time, and then rode away alone, and everyone looked at Xu Shu's back and sighed sadly.

In the evening of the same day, Sima Hui suddenly came to visit and asked directly: "Has Xu Yuanzhi ever left?" ”

Liu Yong hurriedly invited into the side hall to talk in detail: "I have already rushed to Xuchang this morning." ”
