Chapter 239 Serial Meter

Farewell?

Liu Bei was slightly stunned, "At present, Cao's army's attack is imminent. I need Yuan Zhi to give advice, and Yuan Zhi doesn't have to go out to inspect."

Obviously, Liu Bei has not yet understood the true meaning of the word "farewell" in Xu Shu's mouth.

Xu Shu smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "The lord misunderstood. I'm not going out for inspection. I want to leave Hanzhong and go back to Jingzhou."

As soon as he said this, Liu Bei was shocked: "Juan Zhi, you... Are you going to abandon me and go?"

Jingzhou is Liu Feng's territory. Xu Shu went to Jingzhou, not to abandon him.

"This is a letter written to me by my mother. Master, please have a look."

Xu Shu handed over the silk book stained with tears.

That letter is indeed Xu's mother's handwriting, but the content of the letter is not to summon Xu Shu back to Jing, but just some short greetings.

This letter was specially forwarded by Liu Feng to Xu Shu by Zhao Yun at the beginning.

The content of the letter itself is nothing, but Liu Feng's behavior is clearly hinting to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu knew that Liu Feng would not harm his mother, but he was a filial man. Since he received a letter from his mother, how could he ignore it?

After all kinds of difficult trade-offs, Xu Shu could only make this difficult decision.

After Liu Bei read the letter, he immediately understood everything.

When he was in Changbanpo, Xu Shu also had to leave because his mother was captured by Cao Jun. If his mother hadn't been rescued by Liu Feng and Zhao Yun, Xu Shu would have worked for Cao's camp at this moment.

At that time, Liu Bei was so painful about Xu Shu's departure.

And now, this kind of pain is increasing.

Because Xu Shu is going to this man now, he is a person who hates him more than Cao Qian.

If there is a choice, Liu Bei would rather Xu Shu go to Cao at the beginning, so that he would suffer less humiliation and pain.

"How did Yuan Zhi get this letter?" Liu Bei's tone began to be heavy.

Xu Shu was confused and didn't think much about it. He immediately sent Zhao Yun to Liu Feng and handed this letter to his letter together.

Liu Bei's face suddenly turned gloomy and said unhappily, "Why didn't Zilong talk to me about this before?"

There was a complaint in his tone.

At this time, Xu Shu realized that he had brought unnecessary trouble to Zhao Yun, so he hurriedly said, "Zilong had to inform the master, but I said that this was just my family matter, and I didn't have to bother the master, so Zilong didn't tell the master."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Yuan Zhi is my right-hand man. How can your business be just a family matter?"

Xu Shu sighed and said silently.

"Yuan Zhi, this letter was mostly written by Liu Feng's beast who forced the old lady to lure you back to Jingzhou. You can't easily be fooled by his anniamity."

How could Liu Bei let Xu Shu go easily? He hurriedly tried to persuade Xu Shu to change his mind.

Xu Shu said with a ggard face, "How can I not see Liu Feng's intention?" It's just that when I think of my mother being trapped in Jingzhou, my heart is in a mess. My mind is already confused, and it is difficult to give advice for my father-in-law. I hope that my father-in-law can let me go back to Jingzhou and complete my filial piety.

Speaking of which, Xu Shu seems to have made up his mind.

Although Liu Bei claimed to be benevolence and righteousness, in recent years, he attacked Liu Zhang and seized Hanzhong. He has done several disgraceful things in a row, and the name of benevolence and righteousness has been damaged a lot.

Despite this, Han ruled the world with filial piety, and Uncle Liu, if he openly blocked his ministers from filial piety and spread it out because of his own selfishness, the name of benevolence and righteousness would be swept away.

Although he had a painful pain for Liu Bei to let Xu Shu go, he could only swallow the bitter fruit.

With a long sigh, tears filled his eyes. Liu Bei clung to Xu Shu's hand and choked with a painful face: "Yuan Zhi wants to practice filial piety. This is the reason of heaven and earth. How can he stop it? It's just that I share life and death with you. Although I am the master and minister, I am like brothers and sisters. At present, Yuan Zhi has left me like this, and I am in my heart..."

Liu Bei burst into tears and was so excited that it was difficult to speak again.

Xu Shu was also in tears at this moment. He pointed to the sky and said solemnly, "The lord's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, and I remember it in my heart. I swear to God that even if I return to Jingzhou, I will never make a plan for Liu Feng to deal with the lord in my life.

Liu Bei didn't want to let Xu Shu return to Jingzhou. On the one hand, he regretted that he lacked a top counselor, and on the other hand, Xu Shu knew himself well. If he worked for Liu Feng, he would not have caused him a big trouble in the future.

Now Xu Shu swore to heaven that he would not deal with himself for Liu Feng, and Liu Bei's worry was suddenly a little less.

Liu Bei is still convinced that Xu Shu is righteous and must do what he says.

"I don't know when Yuan Zhi will leave, so I can set up a banquet to see Yuan Zhi off with the bureaucrats." After wiping a handful of tears, Liu Bei asked.

Xu Shu shook his head repeatedly: "I abandoned my lord, and I was so ashamed that I didn't have the face to say goodbye to my colleagues again. Besides, I miss my mother now, and I don't dare to delay for a moment, so I want to leave Chengdong immediately after saying goodbye to my lord.

At this point, it's not appropriate to stay more. It's better to be happy, and leave a good thought at the end between the emperors and ministers.

Liu Bei said no more, so he ordered someone to bring good wine.

"Yuan Zhi, this glass of wine, I wish you a smooth journey, and I hope that if there is fate in the future, you and I can drink wine together again."

"Hmm."

Xu Shu didn't know what to say, so he could only drink all the wine with tears in his eyes.

Although the wine is good, Xu Shu is bitter when he drinks it.

"Yuan Zhi, let's go. I'll take you a while when I get out of the city."

Liu Bei is "reluctated" with Xu Shu. It seems that if he can get along with him for another quarter of an hour, he can be satisfied.

Xu Shu is also reluctant to give up Liu Bei, but how can he refuse?

So, the two ministers, in order to pretend to be out of the house and go out of Nanzheng in the west, Liu Bei sent Xu Shu out of more than ten miles all the way.

At this time, the remnant sun is like blood, and the afterglow is like a lonely pen, pulling out a long shadow behind them.

Xu Shu strangled the mount and arched his hand to Liu Bei and said, "Send you thousands of miles, there will be a farewell. Lord, let's say goodbye."

When the time of separation came, Liu Bei was so sad. Although he was reluctant to give up, he could only say helplessly, "Then Yuanzhi, take care of yourself all the way."

"The lord is precious, and the concubine is gone."

With a forced smile on his face, after a word of cherishing, Xu Shu no longer missed it. He drove his horse along the road and ran to Yangping Pass.

Liu Bei was stationed in Malaysia and looked far away, looking at the open green shirt, which had been turning into a black spot at the end of the sky.

"Yuan Zhi, Yuan Zhi..."

....................................... Like the blood sun, a vast army is slowly heading west in the land of the Central Plains thousands of miles away.

The bright armor reflects the light of the sunset glow, and the dazzling golden light only reflects the snake-like army even more frightenable.

Not far ahead, the outline of a small city is faintly visible.

"Where is the front?"

In the carriage, Cao Wei suddenly asked.

"The Prime Minister, it's almost time to Yangren City." Xu Chu, who followed the car, replied.

The city is called Yangren, which belongs to Henan County and is the only way to Luoyang.

Luoyang Baguan, Yangren City is not the main road. This city was originally an inconspicuous small city.

However, when the 18th princes attacked Dong, Dong Zhuo's famous general Hua Xiong was killed under this city by Sun Jian. It was because of this war that Yangren City was known to the world.

"Yangren City..."

Cao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and many old things suddenly appeared in his mind.

Although more than ten years have passed, Cao Shen seems to be vivid in his mind.

As he was sighing, he suddenly rode from behind to the side of the car. A young general lowered his voice, but he said excitedly, " Prime Minister, Jingzhou has information."

The running general is Cao Xiu, one of the outstanding generals of the young generation of the Cao family and one of the commanders of tigers and leopards.

Cao Jian took out the information hidden in the sealed bamboo tube and took it apart. A strange sneer flashed immediately.

"The order of the army is now camping outside the Yangren City."

"Oh."

At night, nearly 50,000 Chinese troops camped outside the Yangren City.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao was wrapped in a red robe, with a little proud smile on his face.

"Wen He, Jingzhou's intelligence has arrived. The intelligence said that Liu Feng transferred all Jingzhou's troops to Yizhou. It seems that it's time for us to take action."

Cao Wei showed that piece of information to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu looked at it for a long time and said lightly, "If Liu Feng really intends to cooperate with us to attack Liu Bei, he should quietly lead the army into Sichuan. He is so fanfare. I think that most of the so-called warships loaded into the Sichuan army are mostly bluffy empty ships. Prime Minister, Liu Feng's plan has worked."

Cao Shen laughed and looked very proud.

"Wen He, your serial plan is really wonderful. This time, I can finally get rid of my shame."

In the face of Cao's self-confidence, Jia Xu was very calm and said lightly, "The Prime Minister should not be too confident. There are also master people under his command, which may not be able to see through our strategy."

Cao Wei sneered and said proudly, "Your strategy is amazing. I expected to succeed. Wen He, you have to have confidence in yourself."

Jia Xu smiled and said nothing.

Cao Qian was so proud that he got up and shouted, "Quickly pass the secret order to Wancheng's Zilian, so that he should immediately enter Xinye according to the original plan and attack Fancheng with Zhongye's army."

Jia Xu nodded and agreed.

Cao Wei then said, "Send the order to Wen Ze's rear army again, order him to change the way of 50,000 troops immediately, and send me a journey to Xiangyang in the south on a starry night."

The order was issued immediately. Cao Yan's heart was indescribably happy, and his whole body was in high spirits. It seemed that at this moment, he found the kind of self-confidence that was invincible in the world.

........................Five days later, Fancheng.

Under the morning light, the only city north of Hanshui seems to be covered with a faint veil, sleeping quietly like a shy girl.

On the northern road, the surging sandstorm is approaching rapidly, as if countless hungry beasts are eager to tear up this delicious prey.

On the head of the city, Wei Yan stood like an iron tower, and his cold eyes turned to the surging sandstorm. The corners of his mouth were hooked, and a sneer flashed.
