It is said that after Liu Bei ruthlessly cheated Liu Biao, he was discussing his future plans with Xu Shu at the moment.

"Strategist, as long as this plan is one. Then Nanyang will fall into my hands, and we will be able to use Nanyang as a base and go south to Jingzhou! Liu Bei pointed to the map and said excitedly.

Xu Shu's face was flat, as if he hadn't heard Liu Bei's words.

Liu Bei had so many actions that were not arranged by Xu Shu, but arranged by Liu Bei himself.

Nanyang, as the place closest to Liu Yu's territory, was of course able to know Liu Yu's will to Liu Biao one step earlier than Liu Biao.

Liu Bei originally successfully carried out his future plan with the help of Xu Shu, as long as Liu Biao died and the civil strife in Jingzhou began, Liu Bei could go to Xiangyang with swagger. But at this time, Liu Yu ordered Liu Biao to send his son to Luoyang. Xu Shu felt that this matter was not normal, and began to deal with this situation, but he didn't come up with too many strategies for a while. Liu Bei unexpectedly took action on his own without discussing with Xu Shu. Having said that, Xu Shu is a rare strategist, why did Liu Bei hide from Xu Shu to implement his strategy? In fact, the reason is very simple, Liu Bei is afraid.

Liu Bei's re-emergence is almost the credit of Xu Shu's single-person planning, which Liu Beijun all knows. Xu Shu also tried his best to continue to pay for Liu Bei. At the beginning, Liu Bei introduced Xu Shu as a confidant, and kept sighing in front of people that it would be good if he had met the military advisor earlier. With the passage of time, Xu Shu's prestige in Liu Bei's army is getting higher and higher, and he is faintly on a par with Liu Bei. When Liu Bei first found out, he felt that this was a good thing, proving that he was not wrong.

There is always a but!

Xu Shu is very intelligent, and he is the first person in Liu Bei's army to give advice, and many affairs can be handled properly, so that most of the civil officials and generals are under Xu Shu's arrangement, and they are looking for Xu Shu whenever they have problems and difficulties. At this moment, Liu Bei was afraid. What is this concept?? This is a sign of the following grams! Liu Bei has read books for a few years and knows many stories, and these stories all focus on one thing, that is, when the prestige of his subordinates overpowers the lord, the lord is in danger. Light, the right is set aside and becomes a mascot. The heavy ones will be replaced by their subordinates, and everything they have will become someone else's wedding dress. Liu Bei was worried that this situation would appear in front of him, so he had to change. And the best way to change is to let all his subordinates see that they are not worse than Xu Shu, and they can also plan a big chess game.

Therefore, Liu Bei concealed Xu Shu and launched his own arrangements, so that he had a letter to Liu Biao, and the matter of spreading the people of Wanmin happened.

After Xu Shu knew about this, his face turned white, and it was too late to stop it.

Now that Liu Bei seems to be pointing out the country in front of him, Xu Shu has the heart to die.

"What should I do in this situation?" Xu Shu is calm on the surface, but his heart is constantly tumbling.

Xu Shu was very dissatisfied with Liu Bei's actions this time, where is Liu Bei's arrangement, he simply pushed all his previous efforts into the fire pit. Xu Shu felt that it was nothing for Liu Bei to write a letter to Liu Biao, and it would not hurt to mobilize troops and horses to defend the north. But Liu Bei still sent a message, didn't he tell the world that he Liu Bei was going to work against Liu Yu? And Liu Bei is still a guest general, have you Liu Bei ever thought about the feelings of Liu Biao and the families in Jingzhou.

"Strategist, look at it, I conclude that Liu Yu is just threatening Jingzhou, and he will not use troops against Jingzhou at all." Liu Bei was still talking about his opinions.

"Why does the lord think so?" Xu Shu is still a little interested in this matter.

"Liu Yu just got Yanzhou in the cold winter last year, and Yanzhou was almost destroyed by Cao Cao. In order to maintain his mask of benevolence, Liu Yu had to shoulder the problem of the survival of the people of Yanzhou. Coupled with this year's spring ploughing, Liu Yu's treasury must be insufficient. Without enough grain and grass, Liu Yu did not dare to use soldiers. Liu Yu is threatening Ji Yu and Brother Jingsheng, just to make them nervous, so that Liu Yu can get invaluable grain and grass in their hands. Liu Bei said with a smile.

Xu Shu didn't expect Liu Bei to think of such a point, this is indeed a very correct idea. Everyone in the world knows that Liu Yu is short of food now, and many people think that Liu Yu is now trying to extort a sum of money and food to tide over the difficulties.

It's just that the narrator always feels that this thing is not so simple, and he always has a sense of insecurity in his heart, as if something bad is about to happen.

When Xu Shu was about to express his opinion, Wei Yan rushed in and said, "Big brother, Liu Jingsheng's son Liu Qi is here, and he is outside the door now. ”

"Liu Qi? What is he doing here? Liu Bei asked curiously.

"This little brother really doesn't know." Obviously, Wei Yan didn't know what Liu Qi was doing here.

Xu Shu seemed to think of something and asked, "Liu Qi came alone, or what?" ”

"Back to the military, Liu Qi came over with a few subordinates, and he looked embarrassed." Wei Yan replied.

"Great! Your luck is here, my lord. Liu Qi, this is here to join you. Xu Shu said happily.

Just now, Xu Shu was still worried about how to solve Liu Bei's so many arrangements, and when Liu Qi came here, Xu Shu thought of how to deal with it.

"Oh?" Liu Bei's eyes rolled, and then he said, "The eldest prince is coming, how can I not greet him?" Strategist, let's go out and meet them now. ”

"Command!" Xu Shu had a smile on his face.

Liu Bei took everyone to the door, only to see Liu Qi waiting outside the door.

Liu Bei saw that Liu Qi was dressed up by Qiao Zhuang, looking very embarrassed, and said with concern: "Eldest son, why are you here." Why didn't you notify the next one before you came? ”

Liu Qi ran directly to Liu Bei, and said with tears in his eyes: "Uncle Huang, I finally found you!" You're going to call the shots for me! ”

Liu Bei hurriedly comforted Liu Qi and said, "Eldest prince, let's go inside and talk about it, it's inconvenient to talk here." ”

Liu Qi knew his situation and nodded in agreement.

Everyone entered the gate together, and Wei Yan ordered his subordinates to close the gate tightly, and no one was allowed to enter.

After Liu Bei, Liu Qi and the others arrived in the living room, Liu Bei asked, "Eldest son, what's going on?" Why are you so embarrassed? And you have to be in charge of the next, and you really don't know the situation below. ”

"Uncle Huang, that's right. It's all Cai Mao's traitor. My father was unwell and received a will from Luoyang. My father was worried, and his body couldn't hold it and fell ill. Luoyang asked his father to send his second brother to Luoyang, and Cai Mao's wife took advantage of my father's illness to replace me, and even sent troops to arrest me. If it weren't for my cautious and confidants' desperate rescue, I might not have seen Uncle Huang today. Liu Qi didn't tell the truth in front of Liu Bei, he was prepared to deal with Liu Bei's inquiries along the way.

Of course Liu Bei won't believe Liu Qi, but with Cai Mao's style, it is normal to have such a practice. If Liu Bei were Cai Mao, he would have chosen this way.

"Son, this is your family affair. Liu Beicai is a shallow learner, I'm afraid I can't help. Liu Bei pretended to be embarrassed and said.

"Uncle Huang. Everyone in the world knows that the emperor's uncle is benevolent and righteous, if even the emperor's uncle doesn't help me. I really have nowhere to go. Liu Qi's tears didn't even fall down.

In the past, this trick was Liu Bei to deal with others, but now Liu Qi repays others with his own way, which makes Liu Bei a little helpless.

Liu Bei said in embarrassment: "Eldest prince, it's not that Liu Bei shirks, it's just that this matter can't be solved by Liu Bei alone." ”

Liu Qi heard that Liu Bei still resigned, and he panicked now.

Xu Shuke knew Liu Qi's role in Liu Bei, and immediately came out and said: "Lord, the eldest prince thinks of the lord at a critical moment, and that is the trust of the lord. Why don't you let the eldest prince settle down a little first. I'm waiting to figure out what to do. You can't let the eldest prince be bullied by Cai Mao's guy. ”

Liu Qi's heart is full of joy, it seems that there are still many people with conscience in Liu Beijun. Although Liu Qi didn't know Xu Shu's name, he had a great impression of this person who spoke for him.

"This ...... Okay, come on, arrange for the eldest prince to rest. Liu Bei understood what Xu Shu meant.

"Thank you, Uncle Huang!" Liu Qi was grateful.

Liu Qi was settled, and Liu Bei began to think about the pros and cons of Liu Qi's arrival, but he couldn't think too much, so Liu Bei asked his military advisor and asked, "Military advisor, is it good or bad for this eldest prince to come to Nanyang?" ”

Xu Shu had already had a draft in his heart, and replied directly: "Liu Qi came to the lord, this is a great opportunity for the lord!" What Liu Qi said just now is not very credible. Based on the understanding of Liu Jingsheng, I am afraid that Liu Jingsheng wants Liu Qi to go to Luoyang. Liu Qi couldn't stay in Xiangyang anymore, so he came to Nanyang. It can be concluded that Liu Jingsheng has fallen ill and cannot be a director, otherwise Liu Qi would not have the courage to run away. Lord, think about it, once Liu Jingsheng stretches his legs and clucks, then this Liu Qi is a big trump card. If it is used properly, it is time for Jingzhou to change the world. ”

Liu Bei was excited, this was what he had always hoped for.

The more Liu Bei thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, first of all, Liu Qi was the eldest son, and as soon as Liu Biao died, he could support Liu Qi as his heir. Such a good card, how can Liu Bei let it go!

"The eldest prince has suffered misfortune, I am the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, and the uncle of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, how can I watch my blood relatives being bullied by outsiders. I have to get involved in Brother Jingsheng's family affairs. Strategist, the matter of the eldest prince will be left to you. Liu Bei said awe-inspiringly.

Xu Shu arched his hand and said, "Obey!" ”

Liu Qi had just been lying down in Liu Bei's room for a long time, and here he didn't seem to be as restrained as in Xiangyang, and this feeling made him very pleasant.

Xu Shu knocked lightly on Liu Qi's door, and Liu Qi jumped up and opened the aspect.

"Yes sir, please come in!" Liu Qi saw that it was the person who spoke for him before, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Disturb the eldest prince to rest!" Xu Shu confessed, and then walked up very unceremoniously.

Xu Shu looked around Liu Qi's room and found that this room was a bit simple, and said apologetically: "Because I was nervous, I didn't arrange a room for the eldest son, I'm really sorry." ”

"It's okay, my son doesn't care." Liu Qi really didn't care if this room was shabby.

Liu Qi asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Honorable Name?" ”

"Xu Yuanzhi is in Xia Xu Shu, and now he is the lord's staff officer." Xu Shu replied.

"It turns out that Xu Junshi! Disrespectful, disrespectful! Liu Qi didn't expect that this was Liu Bei's military advisor, everyone in Jingzhou knew that Liu Bei had a very powerful military advisor, but he didn't expect to be so young.

Xu Shu observed Liu Qi just now and found that Liu Qi was really a person who didn't have much ability.

"I wonder what the eldest prince plans to do next?" Xu Shu asked directly.

Liu Qi's face was bitter, and he said: "My son has no soldiers and no power now, is there anyone in Jingzhou to rely on, and he can only come to the emperor's uncle." ”

"With all due respect, the current situation of the eldest prince can be said to be very dangerous. The eldest prince said that Cai Deqi made the decision to let you go to Luoyang privately, but the news you got next was that Lord Assassin Shi decided to do this. Xu Shu asked tentatively, he wanted to try to see if Liu Qi was really a waste.

Liu Qi's face turned white on the spot when Xu Shu said this, and he said tremblingly: "Ben... Son.... Not intentionally. It's a bit of a bit.... Bewilderment. ”

Liu Qi was really worried that Liu Bei would not help him because of knowing that he was lying.

"This is human nature, and my father-in-law also understands the difficulties of the eldest son. Now that we've figured it out, we'll understand what happened. Xu Shu said softly.

Liu Qi felt relieved, as long as Liu Bei was not angry, he still had something to rely on.

Xu Shu continued: "Eldest son, although my lord has the heart to help you, he has more than enough heart and not enough strength. You know that in Nanyang County, the head of the family is not my father-in-law. ”

"What should I do then?" Liu Qi was a little anxious when he thought that Liu Bei didn't have the strength to help him.

Xu Shu smiled slightly: "Eldest son, now is the time for you to go out." ”

"Me? What can this son do? Liu Qi didn't know what he could do as a stabbing prince who had no rights.

Xu Shu said seductively: "Eldest son, why have you forgotten your identity. You are the eldest son of Lord Thorn Shi, and you don't know which one of them in Jingzhou is. And don't underestimate yourself, eldest son. Your influence in Jingzhou is enormous. Thinking so, Nanyang County is still a plate of scattered sand, and it urgently needs a person with prestige and status like the eldest prince to come out and preside over the overall situation. As long as the eldest prince comes forward and adds the support of my lord, then the eldest prince will be the new Nanyang County Taishou. ”

"Huh?! You want this son to lead Nanyang Taishou by himself! Liu Qi said in shock.

Xu Shu nodded and said, "That's right, this is a suggestion from below, and it has nothing to do with others." In fact, to be honest, the eldest prince is just a man who is too conservative and too condescending. If it weren't for the feelings of Lord Assassin, I would have wanted the eldest prince to be the new assassin. Eldest son, isn't your current situation just that you have no military power, so you have been bullied by Cai Mao's guy. Nanyang has had a large number of mouths since ancient times, and countless soldiers and horses can be recruited in an instant. With the power of Nanyang County, the eldest prince doesn't have to look at other people's faces in the future. ”

Liu Qi was attracted by what Xu Shu said. Yes, for so many years, isn't it because he has no military power that he has lived so poorly?

"That's all for the next word, please think about it a lot. lest you regret it later. Xu Shu saw Liu Qi's face and expression and knew that Liu Qi was moved, and he couldn't stay here anymore.

"Mr. Yuanzhi, are you leaving?" Liu Qi really didn't think about it himself, and he still wanted to hear more about Xu Shu's opinions.

"There are still important things to do, so I won't disturb the eldest prince's rest." Xu Shu left very chicly.

Liu Qi stupidly watched Xu Shu leave.

Xu Shu returned to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "Military Master, how is Liu Qi?" ”

"Looking at his deeds, his heart has been moved." Xu Shu said meaningfully.

Liu Bei also smiled, Liu Qi, this kid was excited, and he was waiting for him to come over.
