At the foot of Lumen Mountain, it is surrounded by curved water.

In a house, cooking smoke chats and prepares lunch. The house is surrounded by a fence of bamboos, and inside is a bamboo house.

In the courtyard, a middle-aged man was chopping wood.

Under the eaves, an old woman with gray hair was cooking.

"Yuan Zhi, when Gongzi Xiu visited you, he invited you to come out, why didn't you agree, but set a one-year deadline, if Gongzi Xiu can't meet your requirements next year, what should you do?"

The old lady has a kind face, clear and bright eyes, and a trace of fortitude.

The middle-aged man is none other than Xu Shu.

At the beginning, Liu Xiu asked Pang Degong to send someone to Yingchuan to meet Xu Shu's mother, and finally took Xu's mother to Lumen Mountain. At the beginning, Xu's mother and Deng Ai's mother lived on the mountain, but Xu Shu lived at the bottom of the mountain. Mother Xu missed her son, so she simply moved down the mountain and lived with her son.

After the Pang family learned about it, they planned to rebuild the house for Xu Shu, but Xu's mother refused.

Three or two bamboo huts are enough.

As long as her son is by her side, Mother Xu feels very satisfied.

It's just that after she learned about the agreement between Xu Shu and Liu Xiu, she felt that Xu Shu was too proud. Liu Xiu is the son of Liu Jingzhou, a legitimate royal clansman, and he personally pays homage to the Son of Heaven, and he is a person who has seen the Son of Heaven.

Xu Shu couldn't even look down on it, and agreed on a one-year deadline.

Mother Xu was angry and hateful, but she was helpless.

Xu Shu had a faint smile on his face and said, "Mother, the son of Xiu will not be able to take Yuzhang County within a year, which can only prove that his son's vision is not good." However, the son believes that this is not a difficult task. ”

Immediately, Xu Shu said some things about Liu Xiu that happened recently.

For his mother-in-law, Xu Shu has nothing to hide.

After hearing this, Mother Xu had a smile on her face and said, "This cultivator is really powerful." At a young age, it was not easy to break through the foundation of Nuoda. ”

Xu Shu said with emotion: "As a concubine, it is indeed extraordinary to break through the foundation. ”

The mother and the two chatted first, and suddenly, the dog in the yard barked wildly.

"Wangwang"

The house dog barked wildly, Xu Shu stood up and looked outside the yard. His pupils shrank, and he was stunned. Immediately, he hurriedly said: "Mother, take the dog to the house, clean up, Master Xiu is here." ”

On the official road, Liu Xiu came with Huang Hu.

Huang Hu did not bring a drum urn and a golden hammer, and what he held in his hands was a gift of large bags and small bags.

Xu Shu opened the door and arched his hand: "Master Xiu, please." ”

Liu Xiu said: "Brother Yuan, I'm sorry." ”

Entering the courtyard, Mother Xu greeted her, with a smile on her face, and said, "The old man has seen Master Xiu." ”

Liu Xiu, as a junior, replied: "Aunt doesn't have to be like this, I and Yuanzhi are the same senior brothers, and my aunt is Yuanzhi's mother, which is also equivalent to the mother of the younger generation." Who is a mother and salutes her son? ”

After hearing this, Xu Mu smiled brightly on her wrinkled face.

Liu Xiu waved his hand, Huang Hu hurriedly handed over the gift, Liu Xiu explained: "My aunt came to Xiangyang, and the younger generation only came to visit now, which is really rude, and I ask my aunt to forgive me." ”

Mother Xu felt that Liu Xiu would be a man, so she accepted the gift happily and said, "You talk, the old man will prepare lunch." ”

Xu Shu said: "Master Xiu, my mother is like this, don't be surprised." ”

Liu Xiu smiled slightly and said, "It's a good thing that my aunt is by Brother Yuan's side, what's so strange." In my opinion, the mother and the son are filial piety, and the joy of family. ”

sighed, but there was a hint of sadness.

Xu Shu's mind turned and he understood that Liu Xiu lost his mother in his early years. He immediately changed the topic and said, "The envoy of Gongzi Xiu to Jiangdong can be regarded as a complete success. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Although it was thrilling, I finally came back. ”

Xu Shu changed his words, but said with a straight face: "I have also carefully analyzed all kinds of news about Jiangdong. Although there are some details that I don't know, I think that Xiu Gongzi is too dangerous to deal with, and if he doesn't pay attention to it, he will die without a place to be buried. ”

Liu Xiu said: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Xu Shu said: "First, you shouldn't agree to marriage. ”

"The state pastor agreed to marry Jiangdong, it has been decided, and it is impossible for him to go back. However, Sun Shangxiang is in the hands of Gongzi Xiu. As long as Gongzi Xiu is willing, there can be various ways to let Sun Shangxiang die. If a person dies, the marriage will be destroyed naturally, and he will not go to Jiangdong. ”

"Second, even if the state pastor agreed, and Xiu Gongzi ostensibly agreed, he should not enter Jiangdong. ”

"Sun Quan's purpose is to not only marry you and Sun Shangxiang, but also detain you in Jiangdong. can be assumed that Sun Quan's real purpose is you, and he wants to kill you and enter Jiangdong, which is tantamount to throwing himself into the net. If you agree to the marriage, you can also find various reasons to shirk it, or you are seriously ill, or you encounter an emergency. ”

"Third, there is a lack of preventive measures against Jingzhou. ”

"This time, Master Xiu was able to return smoothly because the hidden dangers inside did not break out. Just imagine, if Xinye Liu Bei intervenes horizontally, and Gongzi Cong and Cai Mao intervene again, will things go so smoothly?"

Xu Shu said: "Xiu Gongzi has won, but he should not be intoxicated with pride, and he should reflect on the inappropriate places." Otherwise, there will always be a time when the horse will stumble, and once it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

After listening to it, Liu Xiu felt that the analysis of the first article could be solved in advance, but Liu Xiu was unwilling. The analysis of the second article is indeed Sun Quan's carelessness, because Lu Su proposed that Sun Quan should be placed under house arrest for Liu Xiu at the beginning, but Sun Quan did not accept it. As for the third one, Liu Xiu didn't consider it at the beginning, and it was the biggest hidden danger.

This time it was successful, and the plan was linked one by one, but in fact, there were many flaws.

Grab any of these points and the whole plan could collapse completely.

Xu Shu Zhengse said: "The real seamless plan is that even if the plan is destroyed, another plan will be launched, in other words, the failure in the plan is the beginning of the success of the next plan." Xiu Gongzi's bureau did not achieve this effect. ”

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said: "Brother Yuan's teachings are remembered by Xiu. ”

After returning from Jiangdong, Liu Xiu was indeed a little proud, after listening to Xu Shu's analysis, a trace of pride in his heart dissipated cleanly, and the rest was to reflect, reflect on the shortcomings of this layout.

As soon as the words changed, Xu Shu said: "The news of Kong Ming's appearance, Master Xiu knows."

Liu Xiu said: "I heard the teacher say that he is in Xinye. ”

Xu Shu said: "Liu Bei marches and arranges the formation, conspiracies and tricks, and he is not very good at it. The only thing he is good at is winning people's hearts and having a tenacious character. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun under his command are all first-class fierce generals. What Liu Bei has been lacking all along, is a mastermind who advises him. ”

Xu Shu's expression was very solemn, and he said: "After Kong Ming came out, Liu Bei has the potential to turn into a dragon. In this way, there is one more person who plans Jiangdong to plan Jingzhou. Especially when Gongzi Qi is in Ming, Liu Bei is hidden behind him, and he can meddle in Jingzhou's internal affairs in a grand manner. Master Xiu, the situation in Jingzhou has become complicated, so be more careful. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Liu Bei is indeed not simple. He got Kong Ming, which can be said to be like a fish in water. Brother Yuan Zhi rest assured, I have never despised Liu Bei's defense, especially after Kong Ming went, it is impossible to despise it. ”

The two chatted, time passed, and the aroma of rice and meat lingered between their noses.

Mother Xu moved the table out of the house, placed it in the courtyard, and beckoned Liu Xiu and Xu Shu to eat. Huang Hu sat on the side, didn't speak, and ate with his head down anyway.

After eating, after Xu's mother finished cleaning up, Liu Xiu said goodbye and left.

In the lively courtyard, only Xu Shu and Xu Mu remained.

Mother Xu asked: "Yuan Zhi, Gongzi Xiu came this time, did he let you in?"

Xu Shu chuckled and said, "Mother, I have made an agreement with Gongzi Xiu for a year. Since it was a year, Xiu Gongzi naturally wouldn't mention it again. Don't worry, your son will come out, don't worry. ”

After hearing this, Mother Xu shook her head, looking like her son was not angry.

I have a very good impression of Liu Xiu and Xu's mother, she is very kind, she respects her elders, her mouth is sweet, and she can't see any official arrogance. The most important thing is that she can see that Liu Xiu respects Xu Shu very much, which is what Xu's mother is most happy about.

Because of this, Xu's mother hopes that Xu Shu will come out and work for Liu Xiu
