Xu Shu, the character is straight, and he is a member of Yingchuan Changshe. In his early years, he practiced martial arts and chivalrous things, avenged people and killed people, and later changed his name and surname, abandoned martial arts and literature, and studied in the Confucian school. When the Zhongzhou army rose, Xu Shu and Shi Guangyuan took refuge in Jingzhou together, and became friends with Sima Hui, Zhuge Liang, and Cui Zhouping.

In that year, after Yuan Shang defeated the Three Kings and pacified the rebellion of the Gongsun clan in Liaodong, he formulated a three-year policy of rest and recuperation, raising troops and storing grain, resting with the people, and not competing with Cao Cao.

Yuan Shang did not move, Cao Cao's attention moved to the south, just in time to catch up with Liu Bei stationed in Xinye, Xu Shu went to defect, and for Liu Bei repeatedly made miraculous achievements, Cao Cao learned, cherished Xu Shu's talent, and then used Cheng Yu's strategy to capture his mother, used as a hostage to coerce Xu Shu into Xu Du, Xu Shu had to say goodbye to Liu Bei, into Cao Ying.

I didn't want Xu Shu's old mother to be strong, so she committed suicide, and since then Xu Shu's temperament has changed greatly, not only does he speak little on weekdays, but he also does not offer a plan for Cao Cao, and he has a plan.

Time is like water, and so far, Xu Shu has leaned towards the Son of Heaven faction for some reason.

And it wasn't until today that I realized that the master behind the Son of Heaven was Xu Shu.

Of course, as an old minister who has been in Xu Du for a long time, Fu Wan also knows a little about Xu Shu's resume and story.

Fu Wan looked at Xu Shu quietly, as if he wanted to see through what this young junior was thinking in his heart, but all he could see was a gentle face, a clear face, and the regret and sadness in his eyes that may not be erased in his life......

This junior is not like a villain, and Fu Wan defined Xu Shu in his heart.

Thinking of this, Fu Wan's face also showed a little mildness. Then, his eyes closed slightly, he slowly exhaled a breath, turned his head to look at the flower garden in the courtyard that was slightly swayed by the night wind, and suddenly said for a long time: "When she went, did she struggle?" ”

The smile on Xu Shu's face disappeared. There was a bit of solemnity. Although he asked no end to this sentence, he seemed to fully understand what he meant, and said, "My mother went very peacefully when she left. ”

Fu Wan nodded slowly, then the corners of his mouth pursed slightly, and said: "Xu Yuanzhi, no one dares to mention your affairs in the entire Xu Capital, but the people in the entire Xu Capital know about it. Today, the old man specially brought it up in front of you, do you know why? ”

Xu Shu's expression was tepid, and he was still very calm: "Because the national master believes me." ”

Fu Wan nodded and said: "Yes, you first started with Liu Bei, then Cao Cao, and now you belong to the Son of Heaven, and you can be regarded as serving the three masters, but the old man knows that among the three masters." Your Majesty is not a good habitat in your heart, Cao Cao is an enemy in your heart, and only Liu Bei is the person you sincerely want to assist...... The Son of Heaven is young and unstable. I can believe you, but the old man doesn't dare to ...... Xu Shu, do you dare to tell the truth to the old man, you really help the Son of Heaven. Or do you want to bring the Son of Heaven from Xu Du to Liu Bei in Xiangyang? ”

Xu Shu looked at Fu Wan quietly and said, "If I really want to kidnap His Majesty into Xiangyang, I can directly sacrifice it to Xiangyang and go to Uncle Huang." Why do you need to draw snakes and add more to the plan that belongs to Luoyang and defend the three levels, wouldn't you ask for trouble? ”

Fu finished and said: "This is what the old man can't figure out, Xu Shu, the old man doesn't believe that you have no intention of submitting to Liu Bei at all, what are your intentions?" ”

Xu Shu sighed and said with a wry smile: "To tell the truth, don't hide it from the countryman, in fact, until now, in Shu's heart, Uncle Liu Huang is still the most wise lord, and he is still the person who Shu wants to assist the most, but he can't go to it anymore." ”

It seems that there are some clouds and mountains surrounded by fog, and I don't know why.

"What do you mean by that?"

Xu Shu said gently: "I used to be under the command of the emperor's uncle, and then Cao Cao earned the old mother, and had to come to Xudu, the old mother was so resentful, killed herself, and regretted that she had no land, but she could no longer vote for the emperor's uncle." ”

Fu Wan thought for a while and said, "Are you afraid that the actions of Qin and Chu will make the world laugh?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "This is one of them." ”

"Second?"

Xu Shu set his eyes on the sky and looked at the bright moon, as if he wanted to see what was in the moon again, and seemed to want to find some feelings that could comfort him.

"Actually, after the death of my mother, I hated Cao Cao for a period of time, I thought that if there was no Cao Cao, there would be no disaster for my mother to kill herself, but after a long time, I thought, if I was in Cao Cao's position, what would I do at that time? Presumably it is the same method as Cao Cao. ”

Fu Wan frowned and did not speak.

Xu Shu smiled bitterly and continued: "Actually, after thinking about it, what Cao Cao did was not wrong, he was a prince and had the ambition to dominate the world, and the imperial uncle was the same, he had the ambition to help the world, but one was in the name of supporting the Han and the other was just usurping the Han." ”

Fu Wan shook his head and said, "The old man didn't understand what you meant. ”

Xu Shu said: "The death of the old mother, I don't blame Uncle Huang for being small, nor do I blame Cao Cao for being ruthless, it's actually my Xu Shu's ambition to participate in the battle of princes, and it's strange that I Xu Shu wants to make a name for myself in the world and want to assist the Ming Lord for his ambition to dominate the industry." ”

Fu Wan blinked and said, "You blame your mother's death on your subordinates in the princes' struggle for hegemony?" ”

Xu Shu nodded.

Fu Wan frowned and said, "If you regret participating in it so much, why do you want to go out of the mountain again now, let Shaofu Geng Ji lead, and make you devote yourself to the command of His Majesty?" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and his smile was still so gentle, subtle, and warm.

"Because, the Son of Heaven is the lord of the world, and he does not belong to the princes."

After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and began to bow his head and think carefully about Xu Shu's words.

Xu Shu said: "Guozhang, you came today, in addition to asking me about these private matters, there must be an edict from Your Majesty, right?" ”

After hearing this, he shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Oops, I almost forgot about the business - Yuan Zhi, Your Majesty let me ask you, now that Cao Zhi is going north, all the heavy generals and towns are transferred, although Yuan and Cao have not fought, they are both soldiers pressing the border, and they are on guard against each other!" Now Guan Yu has also sent troops, the south of Zhongzhou is unstable, Xun Yu urgently transferred 30,000 permanent troops and horses to Xudu, and sent good generals to lead the south to meet the enemy, Xudu is now empty, the opportunity is rare, we should act, right? ”

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Your Majesty's cronies, the important ministers of the court, are they ready to stop?" ”

Fu Wan nodded and said: "We are ready to stop, just wait for the time to come, kill Xuchang, go west and go straight to Luoyang!" ”

"Kill Xuchang?" Xu Shu smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Although Xu Du is empty, the Cao family's cronies are all over it, and although His Majesty has accumulated it for many years, his strength is still insufficient, and he is not the opponent of the Cao family...... Besides, there are many dangers and obstacles from Xuchang to Luoyang, even if the various feudal towns are still going north, how can they be so easy to arrive? ”

Fu Wan sighed: "Your Majesty also knows this truth, so I asked the old man to come to you for advice." ”

Xu Shu thought for a while and said: "Although the Cao clan is currently empty, it is absolutely impossible to break through in one fell swoop, and now if you want to reach Luoyang safely, the only hope is to control one person first." ”

Fu Wan heard the words and said, "Who? ”

"Xun Yu." Xu Shu said unhurriedly: "Xun Yu is in charge of the defense, has been in charge of the overall situation of the Cao family for many years, and is also the imperial court's Shangshu order, and his handwritten order is enough to open all the passes and defenses to Luoyang, only by controlling this person, can we succeed." ”

Fu Wan sighed bitterly: "The key to Xun Yu, the old man also knows, although this person is loyal to the Han family, he is also a minister of the Cao family, he will not betray His Majesty, but he will not betray Cao Zhi!" ”

Xu Shu nodded and said, "So we have to control him." ”

"Xun Yu is a heavy responsibility, and he is closely protected, how easy is it to control him?"

Xu Shu smiled: "It's not difficult, the imperial doctor Ling Jiben is our person, right?" ”

Fu Wan nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"Then ask the Son of Heaven to cheat on the sick."

Fu Wan: "????? ”

***************************

The next day, the imperial city of Xudu suddenly came out of the bad news, the Son of Heaven suddenly contracted a serious illness at night, lying on the bed, high fever did not go away, the imperial doctor ordered all the medical officers under the rule to enter the palace for treatment, which lasted three hours, but it was also helpless.

At this time, Xun Yu was arranging the affairs of the southern transfer of grain and grass in Shangshu Mansion, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor Ling Yoshimoto to come!

Seeing the imperial physician Ling Yoshimoto, Xun Yu was not polite, and went straight to the point and asked directly.

"I just listened to the report from the Yellow Gate, the Son of Heaven was infected with a cold last night and was seriously ill, and the medical officer of your hospital treated it for a morning without effect, but is there such a thing?"

Yoshimoto's forehead was full of sweat, he glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Hui Lingjun, that's exactly the case!" ”

Xun Yu stomped his feet and said, "What typhoid fever can be so bad?" So that a group of you can't come up with a charter...... What about Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing, who treated Guo Jia's illness? He cured typhoid fever as a holy hand, why didn't he go to His Majesty for treatment? ”

Yoshimoto shook his head and said: "At this moment, even if you find Zhang Zhongjing, it won't help, not to mention the illness of Your Majesty, it is better to let the fewer people who know the Tao, the better!" ”

Xun Yu frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Yoshimoto sighed and said, "Lingjun, the disease of typhoid fever is just a reassuring word to the outside world, and what I am afraid of is that it will cause turmoil in the court, and it is actually ...... that Your Majesty has obtained."

"What is it?" Xun Yu looked anxious.

"Your Majesty's ...... Yes, it's a sore! ”

"What?" When Xun Yu heard this, he was dizzy for a while, and said in horror: "In the land of Xudu, the people of the country are safe, no foreigners enter the country, and your majesty lives in a simple place, how can you get sores!?" ”

Yoshimoto said in a low voice: "I didn't believe it at the beginning, but the facts are here!" Besides, although this disease of sores is introduced from the outside world, but the root of the load has not been known, some people say that it is a man, some people say that it is a beast, now that winter is over and spring, birds and beasts are migrating, and His Majesty has organized a Chinese army to go out of the city for winter hunting a month ago, and it cannot be said that it was infected at that time......"
