Chapter 272: Decision
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, his journey to study will definitely be smoother, because he has made fatal mistakes, so Xu Shu will 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 is to be able to better assist Liu Bei in the future, so that he can go further, so that he can go to a point that is unimaginable to ordinary people, this is Xu Shu's grand goal, but if you look at the current situation, Liu Bei will be difficult to succeed.
What about defeat, what about nothing, think back then, Gaozu Liu Bang was not under Xiang Yu's fierce pursuit, defeated again and again, and stood up again and again, and finally defeated the powerful Xiang Yu and dominated the world.
Xu Shu looked at Liu Bei straight for a while, and then said: "The lord's appearance really disappointed Shu, thinking that the lord is a benevolent lord, why is he so depressed because of a small defeat." ”
"Thinking about the past, why did the lord raise troops, and how did the lord pull up a team by himself, could it be that today's small failure has made the lord even have no ambition to fight for the world."
Xu Shu's words were very excited, it was like a sharp sword inserted into Liu Bei's 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, he had no ambition at this time, and now he has no demeanor at all.
"My lord Xu Shu should be the king of the world, and he should have great ambitions, not the current person who doesn't know what to say and has no fighting spirit." The more Xu Shu spoke, the more angry he became, and in the end. He almost walked away.
And Liu Bei was suddenly surprised, he hurriedly grabbed Xu Shu and then said: "It's all because of Bei, these days, Bei is really sluggish, which makes Yuan Zhi heartbroken, so I hope Yuan Zhi can forgive Bei." ”
Xu Shu heard Liu Bei's words. His heart was suddenly comforted a lot, but now Xu Shu has decided to leave, if he doesn't leave, he has no way to move forward, so he has to enrich himself.
Seeing that Xu Shu stopped, Liu Bei knew that he still had hope, since this was the case, he would definitely not give up lightly, since he already knew the reason why Xu Shu left. Then I have to do my best to keep Xu Shu.
"Yuan Zhi rest assured, Bei will definitely not be depressed, Bei will definitely work hard and make a comeback again, but there is no general available around Bei now, so I want Yuan Zhi to assist by Bei's side." Liu Bei said in a deep voice,
According to my current situation. If you want to make a comeback, you need someone by your side. 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 deeply understands his own shortcomings." Therefore, I want to go to Jingzhou to study art, and after I finish my studies, I will come to assist the lord. ”
Hearing Xu Shu say this, Liu Bei frowned, and he could know by looking at Xu Shu's expression. Xu Shu didn't tell a lie, but 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 way out, and he was very upset about it.
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 by no means something that he could dissuade in a few words, he looked at Xu Shu, and then said: "Yuan Zhi, you also know that now Bei's situation has reached the end of the enemy's territory, if you leave Bei again, how can Bei deal with the current situation, and where can Bei 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 having a trace of strength, 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, and it is indeed not easy to choose a strong but ambitious Liu Bei.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Shu suddenly remembered a person, since he was going to Jingzhou to study, and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao was indeed a good person,
Jingzhou is strong, Liu Biao's fighting power is hundreds of thousands, and Jingzhou is a rich place, Liu Biao has occupied Jingzhou for a long time, and has developed Jingzhou into an iron wall, Jingzhou is a battle-worthy place, and Liu Biao has sat in Jingzhou for so long, this person must have some strength,
However, Liu Biao stubbornly hesitated, but he had no ambition, occupied such a good territory, and had such a strong strength, but Liu Biao had always stuck to this Jingzhou and had no idea of development.
Liu Bei is also a royal relative, and Liu Biao is also a clan relative of the Han family, with this relationship, if Liu Bei goes to Liu Biao, presumably Liu Biao must be above the affection of the clan 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 strength in a short period of time, after all, Jingzhou has not had a war for so long, the land is rich and the people are strong, and it is suitable for achieving hegemony.
With a decision, Xu Shu said: "The lord can go to Jingzhou with the lord, 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 states and places, but after Liu Biao took over Jingzhou, there has been no war, and Jingzhou was originally a rich land, and in the absence of war, Jingzhou is definitely much stronger than other states and counties." Xu Shu said in a deep voice. When Liu Bei heard this, he began to think about the possibility of this matter in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more Liu Bei felt that the possibility of this matter was higher, and the north would soon become Cao Cao's territory, after all, he had personally experienced the horror of Cao Cao's army, and he didn't think that Yuan Shao would be able to defeat Cao Cao.
In addition to the north, Yangzhou in the south has almost become Sun Ce's territory, Sun Ce is a wolf with ambitions, he took advantage of the fire to rob, abducted many Huainan people, which made him leave 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 he will be dragged out by Sun Ce before he can do anything.
However, in addition to Jingzhou, there is another place worth going to, that is Yizhou, Yizhou Liu Zhang is also a 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 was far away from the Central Plains, and in a short period of time, he would not have any intersection with Cao Jun, so Yizhou was the place he longed for the most.
Liu Bei was really scared by Cao Jun, and he actually had such thoughts, but it was no wonder that Liu Bei was like this, Liu Bei was indeed a little miserable in this battle, so in a short period of time, Liu Bei did not want to have a war with Cao Cao, obviously Jingzhou was not his best choice.
Liu Bei told Xu Shu what he thought in his heart, and Xu Shu frowned, Liu Bei's expression disappointed him, and the defeat in the First World War actually made Liu Bei have a cowardly heart towards Cao Cao, which is not a good phenomenon.
"How can the lord be like this, could it be that Cao Cao's battle made the lord lose his determination to support the Han family." 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 Liu Bei would not be able to defeat Cao Cao again in the future.
Liu Bei was silent for a long time, he finally nodded, going to Jingzhou is also a good choice, since Xu Shu said so, then why should he hesitate, and since Xu Shu also asked Jingzhou to study, then go with him, and this way is 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, Sun Gan, who was not far from him, was full of distress, he had been looking for the lord Liu Bei for so long, but he had never heard from the lord Liu Bei, not only Liu Bei, but even the news of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
But it's no wonder that this is the case, his trip is day and night, Sun Qiansheng is afraid that his whereabouts will be known by Cao Jun, and he will bring a catastrophe to himself, a former soldier, under such a premise, how can he find Liu Bei lightly.
Moreover, Liu Bei must be the same as himself, and his situation must not be 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.
Sun Gan investigated the place where the fighting took place, but from there, Sun Gan did not find anything usable, and he also sent people to Xuchang to inquire whether Liu Bei had been captured by Cao's army.
If Liu Bei is captured by Cao Jun, then he will definitely do his best to rescue Liu Bei, if Liu Bei is really dead, then Sun Qian will definitely do his best to avenge Liu Bei.
In addition to sending someone to inquire about Liu Bei's news, Sun Qian is also looking for Liu Bei's family, and Cao Jun's class returned to the dynasty, which proves that Huainan has been conquered by Cao Jun, so where Liu Bei's family has gone has also become a mystery.
Now Sun Gan is very worried, because he has no idea about everything, and for such a feeling, Sun Qian only feels that he is extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
Another point, his own grain and grass are running out, if he can't find Liu Bei anymore, then Sun Qian can only go into the mountains to be a bandit, after all, he has to feed the thousands of soldiers under his command, and he can't let the soldiers starve with him. (To be continued......)
