Xu Shu could obviously feel the discouragement in Liu Bei's words, and he had to admit that Liu Bei had reached a low point now, and such a person was not the lord he hoped for, so Xu Shu was somewhat disappointed.

With the defeat in this battle, the journey of apprenticeship and study can definitely be more usual. Because he has made fatal mistakes, he will let Xu Shu abandon a lot of bad habits and bad habits, so that he can go further on the road to study.

And the reason why he did this was to be able to better support Liu Bei in the future, so that he could go further, so that he could go to a point unimaginable to ordinary people, which is Xu Shu's grand goal. But if you look at the current situation, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to succeed.

What about defeat, what about nothing. I think that back then, Gaozu Liu Bang was not under Xiang Yu's fierce pursuit, defeated again and again, and stood up again and again, but finally defeated the powerful Xiang Yu and dominated the world.

Xu Shu looked at Liu Bei straight for a while, and then said: "The performance of the lord really disappointed Shu, I think the lord is a benevolent lord, why is he so lost because of a small defeat!" ”

"Thinking about back then, why did the lord raise troops, and how did the lord pull up a team with his own strength, could it be that today's small failure has made the lord have no ambition to fight for the world!"

Xu Shu's words were very excited, and it was like a sharp sword that was plunged into his chest. Looking at Xu Shu, Liu Bei was speechless for a long time. Because he knew that Xu Shu's words were not false at all. At this time, he no longer has any ambitions, and now he has no demeanor at all.

"My lord Xu Shu should be the emperor of the world, and he should have great ambitions, not the person who doesn't know what to say and has no fighting spirit at the moment!" The more Xu Shu spoke, the more angry he became, and in the end, he almost brushed his sleeves and left.

And Liu Bei was suddenly surprised, he hurriedly grabbed Xu Shu and said: "It's all because of me, these days, I have indeed been in a slump, which makes Yuan Zhi heartbroken, so I hope Yuan Zhi can forgive me." ”

When Xu Shu heard Liu Bei's words, his heart was suddenly comforted. But now Xu Shu has decided to leave, if he doesn't leave, he won't be able to move forward, so he has to enrich himself.

Seeing Xu Shu stop, Liu Bei knew that he still had hope. In that case, he will definitely not give up easily. Now that he already knows the reason why Xu Shu left, he has to make every effort to keep Xu Shu.

"Yuan Zhi rest assured, I will never be depressed, I will definitely work hard and make a comeback here. However, I don't have a general available at my side right now, so I want Yuan Zhi to be able to assist me. Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

According to the situation of going first, if you want to make a comeback, you need someone to help you. Zhang Fei Guan Yu is nowhere to be found, if there is no one to assist him, Liu Bei will be less confident.

Xu Shu didn't nod according to Liu Bei's meaning, he still shook his head slightly and said: "Shu actually doesn't want to leave, but through this battle, Shu has a deep understanding of his own shortcomings, so Shu wants to go to Jingzhou to learn art, and after he finishes his studies, he will come to assist the lord." ”

Hearing Xu Shu say this, Liu Bei frowned. Looking at Xu Shu's expression, you can know that Xu Shu is not lying. However, Liu Bei was still reluctant to let Xu Shu leave, after all, he was very confused now, and he didn't know how to find his own way out, and he was very upset about this.

Liu Bei was very disappointed, looking at Xu Shu's appearance, he could know that Xu Shu had made up his mind, and it was definitely not something that he could dissuade with a few words. He looked at Xu Shu, and then said: "Yuan Zhi, you also know that now my situation has reached the end of the world, if you leave me again, how can I deal with the current situation, and where can I go to find a way out." ”

Liu Bei's words are not unreasonable, Xu Shu does know where Liu Bei's way out is. Now Liu Bei has no strength at all, he can only take refuge in one of the princes to accumulate strength, and after a trace of defeat, Liu Bei can take advantage of the situation.

But now, who can Liu Bei go to. The world is so big, there are indeed not many princes who can accommodate Liu Bei. Moreover, to choose a strong but ambitious Liu Bei, this is indeed not a simple thing to do.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Shu suddenly remembered someone. Since he is going to Jingzhou to study, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao is indeed a good person.

Jingzhou is strong, and Liu Biao has hundreds of thousands of fighting forces. Moreover, Jingzhou is a land of abundance, Liu Biao has occupied Jingzhou for a long time, and has developed Jingzhou into an impregnable wall. Jingzhou is a battleground for battle, and Liu Biao has been sitting in Jingzhou for so long, this person must have some strength.

However, Liu Biao stuck to the cause, but he had no ambitions. occupies such a good territory and has such a strong strength, but Liu Biao has always stuck to this Jingzhou and has no idea of development.

Liu Bei is also an imperial relative, and Liu Biao is also a relative of the Han family. With this relationship, if Liu Bei goes to take refuge in Liu Biao, presumably Liu Biao must be above the affection of the clan relatives and will definitely contain Liu Bei.

Jingzhou is a suitable place for development, if Liu Bei can gain a foothold in Jingzhou, with Liu Bei's strength, he will definitely be able to accumulate a certain amount of strength in a short period of time. After all, Jingzhou has not had a war for so long, and the land is rich and the people are strong, which is suitable for achieving hegemony.

With a decision, Xu Shu said, "The lord can go to Jingzhou with me." Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao is a relative of the Han family, he is the same clan as the lord, if the lord you go to him, presumably he will definitely take in the lord you. ”

"There are wars in the world, and there are wars in all parts of the state, but after Liu Biao took over Jingzhou, there has been no war. Moreover, Jingzhou was originally a land of abundance, and in the absence of war, Jingzhou was definitely much stronger than other states and counties. Xu Shu said in a deep voice.

Hearing Xu Shu's words, Liu Bei began to think about the possibility of this matter in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more Liu Bei felt that the possibility of this matter was higher. The north would soon become Cao Cao's territory, after all, he had personally experienced the horrors of Cao's army, and he did not think that Yuan Shao would be able to defeat Cao Cao.

In addition to the north, Yangzhou in the south almost became Sun Ce's territory. Sun Ce is a wolf with ambition, he took advantage of the fire to rob and abduct many Huainan people. This left him with a very bad reputation among these Huainan people.

And his reputation is good, if he goes to Sun Ce, he will definitely feel that he has other plans, let alone accumulate strength at that time, I am afraid that before he can do anything, he will be dragged out and cut by Sun Ce.

But in addition to Jingzhou, there is another place worth going to, and that is Yizhou. Liu Zhang of Yizhou is also a member of the royal family, and Yizhou is indeed a territory that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you can win Yizhou, you will have the capital to compete for the world.

You must know that Gaozu Liu Bang occupied the land of Sichuan and Shu back then, so he was able to defeat Xiang Yu and become the holy monarch who ruled the world. And Yizhou is far away from the Central Plains, and in a short period of time, he will not have any intersection with Cao Jun, so Yizhou is the place he yearns for the most.

Liu Bei was really scared by Cao Jun, and he would have such thoughts. But it's no wonder that Liu Bei is like this, Liu Bei did lose a little miserably in this battle. Therefore, in a short period of time, Liu Bei did not seem to be at war with Cao Cao, and it was obvious that Jingzhou was not his best choice.

Liu Bei told Xu Shu what he thought in his heart, and Xu Shu frowned. Liu Bei's performance disappointed him, and the defeat in the first battle actually made Liu Bei feel timid towards Cao Cao, which is not a good phenomenon.

"How can the lord be like this, could it be that Cao Cao lost the lord's determination to support the Han family in one battle!" Xu Shu's tone was very intense. He didn't want Liu Bei to be like this, if Liu Bei was afraid of this battle, then it would be impossible for Liu Bei to defeat him again in the future.

Liu Bei was silent for a long time, and he finally nodded. Going to Jingzhou is also a good choice, since Xu Shu said so, then why should he hesitate. Moreover, since Xu Shu also asked Jingzhou to study, then he walked with him, and this journey was somewhat taken care of.

Now that the decision was made, Liu Bei and Xu Shu began to prepare to go to Jingzhou.

Just after Liu Bei had an idea in his heart, Chen Zhi, who was not far from him, was full of distress. I have been looking for Liu Bei for so long, but I have never heard from Liu Bei. Not only Liu Bei, but even the news of the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not hear it.

But it's no wonder that this is the case, his trip is day and night, Chen Zhi is afraid that his whereabouts will be known by Cao Jun, and he will bring ruin to himself, a former soldier. Under such a premise, how could he easily find Liu Bei.

Moreover, Liu Bei must be the same as himself. His situation is definitely not much better than his own, so Liu Bei must definitely be careful, otherwise, he is still in danger of being captured alive by Cao Jun.

Chen Zhi investigated the place where the fighting was taking place, but from there, Chen Zhi did not find anything usable. Moreover, he also sent someone to Xuchang to inquire to see if Liu Bei had been captured by Cao Jun.

If you want to say that the news there is the most accurate, it is only Xuchang City. If Liu Bei was captured by Cao Jun, then he would definitely do his best to rescue Liu Bei. If Liu Bei really dies, then Chen Zhi will definitely fight his strength and avenge Liu Bei.

In addition to sending someone to inquire about Liu Bei's news, Chen Zhi was also looking for Liu Bei's family. The Cao army's squad returned to the dynasty, which proves that Huainan has been conquered by the Cao army. Therefore, where Liu Bei's family went has also become a mystery.

Now Chen Zhi is very upset, because he has no idea about everything. For such a feeling, Chen Zhi only felt that he was unusually uncomfortable in his heart.

Another point is that there is not much food and grass left. If he can't find Liu Bei again, then Chen Zhi can only go into the mountains to be a bandit. After all, he had to feed the thousands of soldiers under his command, and he couldn't let the soldiers starve with him.
