Chapter 350: The Trend of the World, in Nanyang
In the side hall, several strategists looked calm, but Cao Cao seemed hesitant, waiting for Feng Xiao to explain why he wanted to kill Liu Bei again.
That's right, yes again.
At the beginning, Liu Bei took over Xuzhou from Tao Qian, but was defeated by Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, and had no choice but to take refuge in him.
Soon after Liu Bei arrived in Xudu, Guo Fengxiao persuaded him, saying:
"Liu Bei is the male lord, quite popular, Guan Zhang and the two are enemies of ten thousand people, the lord should make plans early!"
Cao Cao did not listen, and gave Liu Bei grain, grass, soldiers and horses, and asked him to return to Xiaopei.
Now, Feng Xiao persuaded him again, and he bluntly persuaded him to kill Liu Bei directly!
"Wen Ruo."
Seeing that none of them spoke, Cao Cao pointed at Guo Jia and said to Xun Yu with a smile: "Fengxiao came to persuade me to kill Liu Bei again, I think he thinks I don't know how Xiao He chases Han Xin, so he didn't say a word, waiting for me to ask him." ”
Only Cao Cao was laughing in the room, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu were all pondering.
Guo Jia Zhengse said: "What does the lord think, who is Liu Bei?" ”
Cao Cao almost didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "Liu Bei has the ambition of a hero, but he has no talent for a hero, he can be called a master, but he can't be a master." ”
"How can you not be a master?"
"The husband is the master, he must put the world first, Liu Bei is burdened by love and righteousness, the two brothers with different surnames next to him, although they have the courage of Xiang Yu, they are stubborn, irritable and irritable, they can be generals, not handsome."
"Just as my lord said."
Guo Jia said: "But Liu Bei has the ambition of being a hero, how can he be willing to be subservient?" Staying behind will only give birth to disaster, so it is better to find a reason to kill him as soon as possible to prevent future troubles. ”
Cao Cao looked at the rest of the people and saw that Cheng Yu also agreed to kill Liu Bei, but Xun Yu did not speak.
"Why did Feng Xiao kill Liu Bei again? Because of that Xu Shu? Cao Cao finally asked.
"Not bad."
Guo Jia said: "I have met Xu Shu a few times, and talked with him freely, knowing that he has the talent to stabilize the country, and his strategy is not under me." ”
Cao Cao disagreed, knowing that Fengxiao was a self-humble rhetoric.
Guo Jia continued: "Liu Bei vigorously denied that he went after Xu Shu in front of the lord, not because Xiao He chased Han Xin, but for him to see him off.
But I sent someone to see it, and after Liu Bei went out, he immediately rode on his third brother's horse and galloped towards the south city gate, and his expression was impatient and annoyed, far from his hesitation in front of the lord! ”
Cao Cao listened, although he was a little displeased with Liu Bei in his heart, he still felt that Feng Xiao had misjudged Liu Bei.
He said with a smile: "Although Liu Bei claimed to be the king of Zhongshan, he was a relative of the Han family, but he was from a humble background, and when he was young, he and his mother weaved mats and sold shoes for a career, and it took many years for Tao Qian to value him and give Xuzhou to him. But Liu Bei couldn't hold it and was defeated in less than a year. ”
Glancing at everyone, Cao Cao continued: "Now that Xuzhou is occupied by Lu Bu, he Liu Bei is in Xudu, there are only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and they are all under my control, and the grain and grass are supplied by me, and it is unknown how many people are willing to follow him." ”
"How can you not stay with such a 'male master'?"
Cao Cao jokingly praised.
Guo Fengxiao looked at Cheng Yu and Xun Yu again, and saw that they were not determined to kill Liu Bei, so he knew that he could not do it today, so he gave up the admonition.
……
Outside the city of Xudu.
"Yuan Zhi, where is Yuan Zhi?!"
Liu Bei rode a horse, shouted and came out of the south city gate, eagerly looking left and right while riding his horse all the way, followed by the red-faced Guan Yu, holding a spear to protect the left and right, also looking for Xu Shu's shadow.
As for Zhang Fei, the horse was ridden by the eldest brother Liu Bei, and he could only go home to lead a horse and come out again.
The two went all the way forward, and soon after, Zhang Fei caught up, and the three brothers followed the official road and searched for five miles.
The sun was high, and Zhang Fei, who was sweating profusely, scolded in his loud voice: "Xu Shu, this guy is not kind, he really left!" My eldest brother searched all the way and didn't find it! ”
"Except for the Chu Immortals, who is calling me by my name behind my back?"
With the sound, a scribe dressed in Confucian robes walked out from behind the tree, holding a feather fan in his hand, and looked at the three brothers with a smile.
Liu Bei was overjoyed, shouting "Yuan Zhi" in his mouth, and hurriedly dismounted and walked quickly to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu bowed his hands, but he called Liu Bei "Xuande" in his mouth, not the lord.
Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes condensed slightly, knowing that Yuan Zhi still wanted to go.
"Bei didn't know what he did wrong, why didn't Yuan Zhi say goodbye?"
Liu Bei clasped Xu Shu's hands tightly and sighed: "Yuan Zhi came from Jingzhou thousands of miles away, but Bei couldn't give Yuan Zhi a place to display his talents, and he suffered two defeats in just one year, and now he has to come to Cao Sikong for his use."
If Yuan Zhi insists on leaving, he will have no face to stay in Yuan Zhi, and the only way to do so is to come out to see Yuan Zhi off! ”
After that, with tears in their eyes, Guan Zhang and the others were busy persuading the eldest brother.
Xu Shu said: "I want to leave, because although Xuande has the heart to help the Han family, he can't recognize the changing trend of the world, and he is wasted in Xiaopei, Xudu and other places, and he will be defeated one day, so I resign today." ”
Liu Bei was shocked.
Guan Yu looked sideways, but Zhang Fei glared at him: "You are so ugly to scold!" ”
Xu Shu scolded Liu Guanzhang and the three of them, as well as Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and other strategists, and scolded this group of people for not recognizing the situation in the world and wasting their time in Xuzhou.
"Prepare for Mr. Wen's plan!"
Liu Bei made a long salute and said respectfully, knowing that he had missed Yuan Zhi's advice several times in the past and did not talk to him in detail, which made him disheartened and wanted to leave.
"Please."
Xu Shu invited Liu Bei and Guan Zhang to come to the shade of the tree, sit on the straw mat and drink water before discussing the matter.
Liu Bei saw that Xu Shu had already brought his luggage, pulled the cart with a donkey, and the two servants followed, knowing that he did have the intention of leaving.
Guan Zhang and the two leaned against the tree and watched the two talk on the straw mat.
"The trend of the world is in Nanyang!"
Xu Shu got straight to the point and said directly: "It's not in Jizhou, it's not Xuzhou, it's not in Xudu, it's not in the Han family!" ”
One sentence knocked the Han family into the dust.
Liu Bei sighed: "If today's son is getting older, it should be the time to gradually take care of the government, but Cao Sikong controls the affairs of the military state inside and outside, the guards inside and outside the palace, the guards and guards are his old party relatives, and the Son of Heaven is under his surveillance in every word and deed. ”
He was ashamed to say to Xu Shu: "What Yuan Zhi said is true, he has the heart of Kuang to help the Han family, but he has no power to support the building, and now he has come to Xu Du, and he thinks about it every time he thinks about it at night, and he can't sleep!" ”
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, the eldest brother's words were true, and they saw the eldest brother hugging his knees and sighing at the moon at night.
After saying the Han family, Liu Bei asked anxiously: "I don't know why Yuan Zhi said that the trend of the world is in Nanyang?" ”
If Guan Yu asked Guan Yu to answer this question, he could only think of Cao Ang.
Last year, Cao Ang was captured by Zhang Xiu in Nanyang County, so that Cao Cao was like a fish in the throat, Zhang Xiu did not return Cao Ang, I am afraid that Cao Cao will soon lead a large army to ask for someone.
Xu Shu arched his hand towards the south and said, "There are immortals in Nanyang, so the trend of the world is in Nanyang." ”
“……”

Liu Guanzhang and the three looked at each other.
Even the good-tempered Liu Bei couldn't help but ask him at this moment: "Bei Fang just heard Yuan Zhi say, there are immortals in Nanyang?" Therefore, the trend of the world looks at Nanyang? ”
"Not bad!"
Xu Shu nodded: "There are immortals in Nanyang, and the situation in the world will inevitably change!" ”
Liu Bei was still thinking about the authenticity of this matter, and his third brother Zhang Fei suddenly realized: "No wonder you said that Chu Immortal before, that Nanyang Immortal is surnamed Chu?" ”
The three of them all looked at him, and Xu Shu smiled: "I heard that the surname is Chu." ”
Liu Bei's face was strange, and he said to him: "When I heard that Zhang Jiao was conspiring, he was good at curing diseases with Fu Shui, and he called himself a great sage and a good teacher, and the general of Tiangong, could it be the immortal ...... that Yuan Zhi said."
Xu Shu laughed, and hurriedly waved his hand, saying: "Don't insult the Chu immortals, the immortals have passed down many techniques, such as Quyuan plow, papermaking, printing, iron smelting and salt, and corn, sweet potatoes, peppers and other seeds, if the lord doesn't believe it, send someone to inquire." ”
He also called the lord, but there were too many novelties in this sentence, so that Liu Guanzhang and the others didn't notice it, and they were all attracted by what he said.
"What is a sweet potato?"
"I listen to holes...... I heard that it is some cold-tolerant, high-yield crops, which have been planted by many people in Nanyang, and it is said that they can increase the people's food ration by 30%. ”
"More than three percent?!"
Liu Bei was shocked, the people's rations of more than 30% can make millions less people starve to death in the world, this corn and sweet potato crop really has such an output?!
Xu Shu said with a smile: "Quyuan plough is the simplest, only slightly modified, but it can make both the ploughing cattle and people spend less effort." ”
Liu Bei thought thoughtfully: "You told me about this during the spring ploughing, but I was busy training at that time, and I forgot to ask you later...... Be prepared! ”
Xu Shu smiled and said nothing, in fact, he didn't blame the lord.
When he came to take refuge in the lord, Xuzhou had been occupied by Lu Bu, and the lord only had land near Peicheng, and the situation was precarious, even if the plow and rake were improved, it could not be implemented for a while.
Liu Bei asked some other things, and gradually had a general understanding of Xu Shu's previous words.
"Yuan Zhi said that the immortals have given many crops and technologies, so that the world has changed because of Nanyang!"
Liu Bei listed the things Xu Shu said just now: "Papermaking replaced bamboo slips, and cooperated with printing to make cheap and easy-to-use books spread; Corn, potatoes and other things increased the harvest of the people; Iron smelting can create more and better weapons and armor......"
There are many more in the back, all of which are artisan techniques and crops that can change the world.
Guan Zhang and the others were shocked just by listening to them.
Zhang Fei muttered, "This immortal doesn't use Fu Shui to cure his illness? And so many things to give...... Could it be that you're lying to us too? ”
The remnants of the yellow scarf are still there, and their reputation is like a rat crossing the street.
Xu Shu, who was questioned, did not defend himself, but got up and took out the burden from the car, took out a folded letter, handed it to Liu Bei, and motioned for him to open it.
Liu Guanzhang and the three of them opened their eyes wide, and the two people who were originally leaning against the big tree also came over and looked around.
"This is the paper made by the paper-making technique given by the immortals?!"
"Yes."
Xu Shu's eyes were also looking at this piece of paper, and he said with emotion: "This is a friend of mine when I was in Nanyang, known as Wolong, who made Nanyang paper with people according to the art of immortals, and wrote to me to tell me about the changes in Nanyang. ”
After asking permission, Liu Bei carefully opened the folded letter, not looking at the contents of the letter, but at the paper itself.
The surface of the paper is smooth and white, the ink on the paper is condensed but not scattered, and the paper is folded and unfolded, and no confetti is scattered.
This piece of paper is far better for writing than writing on bamboo slips!
Liu Bei can't put it down!
After a while, he suddenly remembered something and asked Xu Shu: "The immortals gave this papermaking technique to let the common people also be able to read and write?" ”
"Not bad!" Xu Shu replied quickly, as soon as this would reveal that he knew the immortals, but he still said it.
After all, this is the merit of the immortals.
Liu Bei deeply admired: "The immortal fortune is long, and the people and scholars of the world are blessed by the immortals, and temples should be built in various places to worship Chu immortals!" ”
Xu Shu said with a smile: "It is said that the Chu Immortals passed down the iron-smelting technique, not to create more weapons and armor for the world's heroes, but to give the people more pots in their homes. ”
"Pot?"
"Yes, an iron pot can be used to stir-fry, and it is said that stir-frying can make food more palatable."
When Zhang Fei, who loves to drink, heard this, he couldn't help but move his index fingers, wanting to see what the iron pot looked like.
The four of them chatted about the Nanyang Chu immortals again, and Liu Bei also finished reading the letter written by Wolong to Yuan Zhi, and had an understanding of the current situation in Nanyang, knowing that many of the Nanyang Shi clan had made paper and were ready to sell it to Yizhou, Yangzhou and other places.
As for why it was not sold to Xuzhou and Jizhou, the letter did not say it, Liu Bei could only guess that Jingzhou and Cao Cao had just finished fighting, and the caravan would not go to Xudu for the time being.
"It's past noon."
Xu Shu looked at the sun in the sky, turned his head to Liu Bei and said, "It's almost time to go back to Nanyang, Xuande, farewell!" ”
As he spoke, he stood up and saluted, ready to take his leave.
Guan Yu was busy giving his eldest brother a look, even Zhang Fei was no exception.
Fools can see that Xu Shu is talented and well-informed, and he can see the future situation in the world.
How can such a strategist miss it?
"Yuan straight, slow down first!"
Liu Bei was cheeky and pulled him to continue to sit down, "Bei still has something unclear, plus I heard that the immortal came to the world, and I was about to talk to Yuan Zhi about the world all night, tonight I will sleep with Yuan Zhi!" ”
Xu Shu tugged at the robe that he was holding, "Xuande doesn't go to Nanyang, then I will only stay and eat a few more defeats, even if Xuande is based in Xuzhou, it can't be compared to the Jingzhou heroes who have the art of immortals, it is better for me to go back to Jingzhou to see if I can assist Jingzhou Mu, or wait in Nanyang, to see if Cao Sikong can occupy Nanyang!" ”
Liu Guanzhang and the three of them could almost shine with light in their eyes.
There are immortals in Nanyang who have passed down many technologies, although they will slowly spread to other places, but Nanyang still has a first-mover advantage in the end, if it can be occupied early, wouldn't it be possible to support the Han family? !
"Big brother, let's go to Nanyang too!?" Zhang Fei said hurriedly.
Guan Yu lowered his head and stroked the beard that hung down to his chest, and when he saw that his eldest brother Liu Bei didn't speak, he also hurriedly persuaded: "What Yuan Zhi and the third brother said makes sense, eldest brother, how about we go to Nanyang too?" ”
Xu Shu looked at the lord with a smile.
Liu Bei was entangled: "It is true that we should go to Nanyang, but if we go empty-handed, it is better not to go, we are not familiar with the boundary of Nanyang, how can we succeed without soldiers and horses?" ”
"Let's take people with us, take advantage of Cao A's inattention, and run overnight!"
“……”
Everyone ignored Zhang Fei's words, Liu Bei finally saw the expression on Xu Shu's face, got up and respectfully bowed: "Please Yuan Zhi teach me!" ”
"The lord doesn't need to be polite!"
Xu Shu also changed his words and called back to the lord again.
As the saying goes, before and after Xiao He Yue chased Han Xin, and now Liu Bei stayed under the tree.
Want to know how Liu Bei led the soldiers and horses to Nanyang under Cao Cao's nose, and listen to the next decomposition!
