Shinno.

Liu Bei's place of stationing is on the northwest side of Jingzhou.

It is a buffer zone between Jingzhou and Cao Cao.

In the city at the moment.

Liu Bei's face was depressed, and he was in a bad mood undisguised,

Today Xu Shu is gone.

Since Liu Bei started his army, he has been running everywhere, and it is rare to have a piece of his own territory. Although it occupied Xuzhou at the beginning, its rule was unstable, and it was a strong enemy in the end.

Later, he stayed under Yuan Shao for a while, and then took his younger brother to Jingzhou to watch Liu Biao.

All kinds of things made Liu Beiyin realize a truth.

It's not that he doesn't have a talented person, but he lacks a military advisor-type character to plan the future for him.

If you take one step at a time, it will be difficult to succeed.

But the talents in this world either already have a master, or they are unwilling to follow Liu Bei, and there is no way.

Until not long ago, Liu Bei met Xu Shu.

At the beginning, he helped Liu Bei defeat Cao Cao's army in a row.

Let Liu Bei experience the happiness of having a military advisor for the first time.

It turned out that it was not happy for a few days.

Xu Shu's mother had an accident, Xu Shu had to go north to return to Cao, even if Liu Bei was unwilling, it was impossible to stop him, so he could only watch his own military division go to the opponent's camp.

This kind of taste is really uncomfortable!

What could he do?

Fortunately, before parting, Xu Shu introduced Liu Bei to the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, and he finally had the meaning of the word yin.

But what is this Wolong, who can say clearly?

What if it's in vain!

In the middle of the hall.

There are also two people standing, one with a red face and a long beard, and the other with a black face and beard, it is Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Guan Yu dragged his beard and persuaded:

"Since the eldest brother is so reluctant to serve as a military advisor, why don't you leave it behind, what's the use of being sad now?"

Zhang Fei also cooperated:

"The second brother is right, if the eldest brother is really uncomfortable, I will take you out to ride a horse and relax."

Liu Bei let out a sigh, shook his head and said:

"No need, the military advisor is going north for filial piety, how can there be any reason to stop him for his brother, I just hope that he will be safe all the way, so that he will be relieved to be a brother, Yun Chang, Yide, you go down first!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei wanted to say more, but seeing Liu Bei's determined expression, they hesitated a little and prepared to leave.

And at this time.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps, and a soldier ran in:

"Lord Qi, military advisor... Strategist ......"

The soldier didn't catch his breath, and he was speechless, but Liu Bei stood up violently and said eagerly:

"Strategist? What happened to the military advisor? ”

Waiting for the soldier to slow down, he quickly shook his head and said:

"No, my lord, it's the military advisor who has returned."

"The military advisor is back?"

Hearing these five words, Liu Bei was directly stunned.

Then the smile instantly filled the whole face, and he walked out with great excitement, seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stunned for a moment.

Big brother changed his face too quickly.

Roads in the city.

Xu Shu came out of Wollongong and returned quickly.

His mood was a little complicated.

On the one hand, if you don't go north, you won't be able to see your mother, and on the other hand, it's because of Liu Qi's variable.

made him feel that it was difficult for him to help Liu Bei.

Just thinking about it.

Several figures had already rushed over, and Liu Bei's footsteps were fast, and his eagerness was beyond words.

The moment he saw Xu Shu, Liu Bei almost cried with joy.

"Strategist, why are you back?"

Although he was very excited, Liu Bei still suppressed his emotions and asked in a concerned and serious tone.

Xu Shu hurriedly bowed:

"I've seen the lord, I'm not going to go north."

got a positive answer, Liu Bei was not only surprised but also unexpected, he was keenly aware that things were not simple:

"Strategist, this ...... Is something going on? ”

Xu Shu thought about it for a while, didn't hide too much, and said:

"Lord Qi, I wanted to go north, but I went to visit a friend on the way, and I knew that this matter was sinister.

If Shu goes north to return to Cao, I am afraid that my mother's life will be suspended, and if she does not go, there may be a glimmer of life. ”

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, but he still cooperated:

"But if the military division really doesn't go north, what should it do?"

Hearing this, Xu Shu did not hesitate any longer, and coldness flashed in his eyes:

"If the Cao thief dares to harm my mother, Xu Shu will take revenge even if he dies."

This cold expression made Liu Bei a little unfamiliar.

But it also shows its determination.

Liu Bei said seriously at the moment:

"Yuanzhi, you can rest assured, if there is such a day, I am willing to raise the whole city to help."

Xu Shu and Liu Bei glanced at each other, and they felt a lot:

"Thank you, lord."

Liu Bei took Xu Shu's hand and walked towards the mansion:

"Why do you and I say this, you must be tired of running back and forth, let's sit inside first!"

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei.

I was a little apprehensive.

However, after seeing Xu Shu's ability, they were quite impressed, so naturally they would not say any gossip.

Soon, I arrived at the main hall and sat down.

Liu Bei asked curiously:

"The friend that the military advisor just met, but that Wolong Zhuge ?"

Xu Shu did not deny it.

Suddenly, Liu Bei was happy in his heart, although he was reluctant to Xu Shu, he also wanted the input of fresh blood.

The expectant asked at the moment:

"I don't know if Mr. Zhuge has the intention of being a master?"

Hearing this, Xu Shu could only smile helplessly, he wanted to invite Zhuge Liang over to join forces, but he had already been cut off by others, and it was useless to think about it.

Shaking his head at the moment, he said:

"Lord Qiqi, Wolong already has a master, and there is no chance to come."

Liu Bei, who was looking forward to it, couldn't help but be stunned.

Already the Lord?

Here's what's going on, if he's not mistaken.

Before Xu Shu left, he also recommended Zhuge Liang to him.

Why is it gone in the blink of an eye?

Liu Bei was a little incredulous, but still asked:

"I wonder who he is invested in?"

It stands to reason that with the relationship between Xu Shu and Liu Bei, there is no need to hide it, but this matter has something to say in advance.

He could only say lightly:

"I don't know about this matter, but Wolong has voted for others, and he should do his best to assist the lord."

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Bei said decisively:

"The military advisor said with a smile, how could Liu Bei not know your intentions, this Wolong is gone, it's gone. With the assistance of military advisors, I, Liu Bei, can also achieve great things and restore the Han Dynasty. ”

What can Xu Shu do, he can only smile bitterly.

Now that Jingzhou has Liu Qi with Zhuge Liang, I'm afraid it will not be easy.

……

The other side.

Zhuge Liang packed up some things.

It was to follow Liu Qi and ride a horse to Xiangyang City.

On the way, he also gave Liu Qi an analysis:

"The problem that the lord is facing now is not in Liu Jingzhou, but in the Jingzhou family, which is headed by the Cai family and the Kuai family.

Or, the lord has another choice, that is, to avoid his edge for the time being, show the enemy weakness, and take the initiative to ask to go to Xiakou to station, and wait for the opportunity to seize the position with the front. ”

Zhuge Liang gave his own advice, and the choice was up to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi was also in thought.

His current situation is actually quite critical, because the worse Liu Biao's health is, the more anxious Cai Mao and the others are.

Liu Qi is the eldest son of Liu Biao, and it is also the biggest variable!
