Liu Qi read it, and sure enough, it was Xu's mother's handwriting, saying that she was imprisoned by Cao Cao and asked Xu Shu to save her.

"This must be Cao Cao's plan for me, find out the identity of Mr., and use her old man as a threat."

Xu Shu wept and said: "I regret not listening to the general's words, and brought my mother to Jingzhou earlier, so that I have today's troubles, and now my mother is imprisoned, and she is in turmoil, and she can't do her best, so she has to reluctantly leave." ”

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve!" Liu Qi sighed loudly, and it was time for him to show his acting skills again.

returned the letter to Xu Shu and said: "I know that Mr. is filial, and it is unrighteous to leave Mr. Son and Mother in the way." But Mr. once said that Lingtang is the most virtuous, although he is a prisoner of the prison, I am afraid that he may not be willing to write a letter for help, but I am afraid that it is a fake book, if Mr. goes, it will annoy Lingtang. ”

"This ......" Xu Shu was shocked, picked up the letter and read it carefully, and scolded through gritted teeth: "Sure enough, it is a trick of Cao thieves!" ”

Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this: "What a Cao Apu, he slaughtered Xuzhou in order to avenge his father, but now he is threatening his parents, and he deserves to be killed by thieves." ”

Xu Shu was silent for a long time holding the letter, and said with a sad smile: "After all, my mother was imprisoned, and I couldn't sit still, so I had to go." The general can rest assured that even if Cao Cao is forced, he will not set up a plan for life. ”

"It's not that I don't want Mr. to leave!" Liu Qi frowned and said: "But Lingtang is a righteous person, with her old man's temperament, she will be ashamed to see Mr., in case...... Isn't it self-defeating? ”

Xu Shu was in a state of confusion at the moment, only thinking about saving people, but he didn't think about the consequences, he was woken up by Liu Qi's words, and immediately sat there paralyzed, and said blankly: "How should this be?" ”

Everyone was silent, Xu Shu's ability was undoubted, he knew that it was a plan, but he couldn't persuade people not to fulfill his filial piety, put himself in his shoes, and everyone was in a dilemma.

Liu Qi walked back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back, and suddenly grabbed Cao Cao's letter on the table and shouted, "There is!" ”

Xu Shu hurriedly raised his head and asked, "What is the general's good plan?" ”

Liu Qi took the two letters together and said slowly: "For today's plan, I have to exchange people for people, and exchange Cao Ren for Lingtang, which can be safe." ”

"General...... How does this work? Xu Shu was shocked and hurriedly said: "Let go of Cao Ren, Cao Cao will definitely go south, those money, grain and war horses are being used to prepare for war, if it is ......"

"Sir, don't say much!" Liu Qi interrupted Xu Shu and said with a smile: "Keep Mr., it's ten times better than Cao Ren!" As long as the military advisor plans and Cao Cao leads a million male soldiers, what is there to fear? ”

"The general's words are magnificent!" Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Let Cao Ren go, it's just right for Cao Cao to come again, and I will capture him again." ”

Gan Ning said with a smile: "It's best to arrest all the children of the Cao family, and then slowly exchange money and land, Ge Laozi, until his old thief goes bankrupt." ”

Liu Qi comforted Xu Shu and said: "With the courage of the generals and the strategy of the gentlemen, why will this revenge not be avenged?" ”

"I regret not listening to the general's original words!" Xu Shu was greatly moved and fell to his knees.

I think that Liu Qi wanted to exchange Cao Ren for the Son of Heaven and Luoyang, but in the end, because of his self-righteousness, he only changed his mother to return, and this kind of kindness is difficult to repay in this life.

Liu Qi helped Xu Shu up and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, as long as her old man returns safely, I will work together to arrest Cao Cao one day and take revenge." ”

Xu Shu couldn't cry: "A certain talent is slightly wise, and General Shenhe is reused, and he is so favored that it is difficult to repay him for his broken bones." ”

Liu Qi comforted Xu Shu for a while, and ordered Mi Zhu to reply to Cao Cao and exchange hostages as quickly as possible, and this scene should also come to an end.

But then everyone knows that a vicious battle is about to be staged, and whether or not they can catch Cao Cao's thunderous blow is related to future success or failure.

The messenger was sent, Xu Shu was still uneasy, Liu Qi simply asked Wei Yan to escort Cao Ren, and rushed to Bowang with Xu Shu, so that he could be replaced on the front line, so that his mother and son could get together as soon as possible.

During this time, Cao Cao gathered heavy troops in Xuchang, Runan and other places, and Liu Qi had transferred Guan Yu to Bowang, garrisoning troops in various important places, ready to fight at any time.

On this day, he was writing and drawing on a map in the study, and the soldiers came to report, Xu Shu returned safely with his mother, and went to the museum to meet him in person.

Seeing that Xu's mother was elegant, she wanted to thank Liu Qi, quickly supported her, and said with a smile: "I should thank you, it's all thanks to your old man's teaching, and a certain talent helps Xinghan." ”

Mother Xu smiled and said: "I heard that the general was a blockbuster in Xuchang, and he succeeded the emperor's uncle to rejuvenate the Han and eliminate thieves. The dog is still shallow, almost abandoned the light and the dark, made a big mistake, and now has its master, and he should do his best to assist the general in order to repay the grace of salvation. ”

Xu Shu also said again and again that if he was just moved by Liu Qi's sincerity before, he would be dead set on it at this moment, and he would be ruined.

Liu Qi set up a banquet to receive Xu's mother in the pavilion, and discussed with Xu Shu to take her old man to Xiangyang, and live with Liu Bei's two wives, so that she could take care of her.

The next day, Xu Shu sent his mother out of the city, and immediately came to see Liu Qi, and said with a wry smile: "My mother said that the war was coming, and told me to focus on the overall situation and not to go to Xiangyang together." ”

Liu Qi said angrily: "Her old man is really a righteous person, I don't know how many times stronger than those self-righteous hermits." ”

Xu Shu's face changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Isn't the general complaining that Kong Ming refuses to meet?" ”

Liu Qi shook his head and sighed: "I don't mean one person specifically, but I sigh that people's hearts are not ancient, if we are like them, let traitors run rampant, how can there be a free and indifferent life for them to live?" As the so-called rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible! ”

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband!" Xu Shu muttered to himself.

After chattering for a while, he sincerely hugged his fists and said: "Cao Ren has returned, Cao Cao will definitely take revenge, a certain person is short of wisdom, I am afraid that there is a mistake in the general's great cause, Kong Ming has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and ask the general to ask for it again." ”

After speaking, he looked at Liu Qi worriedly, for fear that the last time he hit the air, Liu Qi was resentful.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qi nodded and said, "I also have this intention!" ”

Xu Shu was overjoyed: "I will go with the general." ”

Liu Qi rolled up the map on the table and said with a smile: "I went a little abruptly last time, but this time I have been prepared, and I should impress Wolong with sincerity." ”

The Cao army was coming, and the time was pressing, so the two of them prepared at the moment, escorted by Zhao Yun's troops, and rushed to Longzhong again.

Liu Qi was also a little apprehensive along the way, history had changed, and the angry Cao Cao had no time to play the trick of visiting the thatched house in advance.

Relying only on Xu Shu to deal with Cao Cao and Xun You, these strategists are indeed a little less confident.

Once the war breaks out, it will be years and months, and this time he is ready to show his hole cards directly, and I don't know if he can succeed.

When I went to Wollongong for the second time, I saw a zigzag plow at the door, and Xu Shu was overjoyed and said: "This must be made by Kong Ming according to the general's drawings." ”

Liu Qi was also secretly happy in his heart, Zhuge Liang's actions may be a hint, indicating that he at least will not be disgusted with himself and ignore it.

Xu Shu, who was excited, stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it was an elegant young man who opened the door, and said in surprise: "Sir, please come in quickly." ”

Xu Shu couldn't be polite, and asked directly: "Kong Ming can be in the village today?" ”

I didn't want the young man to shake his head and said: "Mr. is unlucky, the second brother's wedding is approaching, and he went to the Huang family yesterday to hire him and did not return." ”
