Chapter 403 Qingxia kills with empathy
"Huh? Can it still be like this?"

Mr. Liu Bei had a surprised expression, and then hurriedly clasped his fists in salute: "The words of the military adviser make Bei Maosai suddenly understand."

Xu Shu said politely: "My lord, don't be like this. Liu Ziyang and Lu Zijing are both more talented than me. How can it be my turn to be a military adviser?"

"Lu Zijing is far away in Hefei to help Yunqi, I can't worship him as a military adviser, right? And Ziyang is good at strategizing, but weaker than marching, so he only wants to be the history of my marching army. Don't refuse, man. Who but me?"

Liu Beiyan patted Xu Shu on the shoulder to encourage him.

Xu Shu immediately cupped his hands and bowed: "Since my lord trusts me, I will take the post of military adviser temporarily. If other great talents join in the future, I will abdicate and make way for the virtuous."

"Yuan Zhi is really humble, and I think he is a talented person, and he is also a superior person." Liu Bei shook his head lightly.

Xu Shu showed bitterness: "There are so many strange people in the world, I dare not call myself a superior person. If my lord praises too much, I will not dare to go to Wancheng."

"Haha, stop talking."

Liu Bei laughed, pointed to Zhao Yun not far away and said, "It's getting dark today, we'll stay in a secluded place, Zilong won't be easy to observe, we'll talk in detail when we return to the camp."

Xu Shu looked at Zhao Yun in front of him and remembered the embarrassing things that happened in Xiangyang, so he approached Liu Bei and asked, "Zilong has a really good personality. After he met me, he didn't have any grievances in his heart, but I heard that the two generals Guan and Zhang, It doesn't seem to be easy to get along with."

"what?"

Liu Bei was stunned suddenly, organized his thoughts and explained: "Although the third brother's temper is a bit irritable, but it belongs to the character of happiness and hatred, and it will not affect the command of the military division at all;
The second brother thinks a little more, if Yuan Zhi doesn't get along well with him for a while, Bei will definitely coordinate with him, you just keep your heart in your stomach, my person has no other skills, but he absolutely obeys orders. "

"That's it, then I can save it."

Xu Shu's heart beat even more after hearing this, but he knew that extraordinary people have extraordinary tempers.

Among the regular visitors to Sima Hui's house, everyone has a distinctive personality, and Zhuge Liang, who compares himself to wind music, is the most outstanding.

Guan Yu has a proud record of killing Yan Liang, so it is understandable that he has a strange temper.

Xu Shu was originally prepared to keep a low profile, but he was very surprised after being worshiped as a military adviser in Wancheng.

The carefree Zhang Fei only obeys Liu Bei's order, and is willing to listen to Liu Bei's order and accept Xu Shu's command.

Guan Yu and Xu Shu, who were originally lonely and arrogant, were also very congenial. The reason is that they had almost the same experience.

In his early years, Guan Yu was captured by the government and exiled to Zhuojun for killing Xie Liang, a powerful hero. Xu Shu killed someone for his friend's grievances.

Same experience, same topic.

Qingxia kills, but also empathizes.

Although Xu Shu later abandoned martial arts and followed literature, Ren Xia's character has not changed, but he has an appetite for Guan Yu and respects this military adviser very much.

Liu Bei was happy to see the generals and ministers reconciled, and they often got together to discuss the military affairs of Wancheng.

For Liu Ye's policy of plundering people, Xu Shu not only expressed his approval and support, but also made adjustments on the basis of Liu Ye.

That is to 'release' some of the people back to the original city, let these people secretly instigate Liu Bei's rebellion against the surrounding people, and finally come to Wancheng to settle down in a scattered way.

Guan Yu didn't need to lead troops to snatch people directly, but only met the fleeing people outside the city. Xu Shu's move turned active into passive, which attracted Liu Guanzhang to applaud.

It must be too late for Cao Cao to realize that it is too late to plunder the people in a covert way.

At that time, the main political achievement was the population. Officials could report the population loss due to external plundering according to the real reason. This kind of force majeure situation will not be held accountable. If the people flee due to poor governance, it is a political fault and needs to be held accountable.

Most of the low-level officials in any era are mediocre people.

Ordinary people basically choose to protect themselves for the future, that is, to temporarily conceal the facts and slowly find a way, and if they can't think of a way, they will delay for a day.

Xu Shu's method of upgrading obviously applied human nature.

In addition, Xu Shu also came up with several plans based on the surrounding situation of Wancheng, using the river city as a barrier. As long as Cao Cao does not attack with all his strength, or Liu Biao can send troops to help, he is confident that he will be nailed to Nanyang like Zhang Xiu.

Seeing Xu Shu's all-round military and political talents, Liu Bei thought that even if he stayed in Xiangyang for a long time, he could rest assured of Wancheng.

Just seven days after Xu Shu was worshiped as a military adviser, an envoy from the imperial court suddenly came to Wancheng to announce an order, ordering Guan Yu to lead troops westward to attack Zhang Lu.

In the course of China's history, very few forces went upstream from the Han River to attack Hanzhong.

The road sandwiched between the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountains is not easy to walk. Once someone sets up a barrier at a key position, it will be a situation where one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it.

Guan Yu received the inexplicable edict and looked at Liu Bei and Xu Shu with a puzzled expression.

"Brother, military adviser, Hanzhong is far away from here. Cao Cao knows that we will not attack Zhang Lu, why did he plan to send an imperial decree?"

Seeing that Liu Bei and Xu Shu were silent, Zhang Fei yelled with disdain: "What's the reason? It's just to amuse us. He may think that the second brother will put on a show, and then come to attack Wancheng when we are not prepared, in return for this. As long as we do not fall for the enmity of the people who have been captive for several months and do not mobilize our troops, the Cao bandits will not be able to succeed."

Liu Bei frowned: "I know Cao Cao as a man, he would never do such a thing, this matter should not be simple."

"It's not simple? I think it's simple." Zhang Fei walked up to Xu Shu with a mutter, and asked, "Military Master, you come to judge. Is my analysis correct, or is my elder brother justified in worrying?"

Xu Shu picked up his beard, frowned and analyzed: "I'm afraid it's just like what the lord said, Cao Cao's move must have a deep meaning, it is definitely not as simple as plotting against Nanyang, but I haven't figured it out yet."

"Oh." Zhang Fei replied in disappointment, and then said to himself: "I still insist on my own opinion."

Seeing this, Liu Bei smiled and said, "Let's not care about Cao Cao's plots for the time being. What the third brother said just now is very correct. As long as we stand still, Cao's plot will not succeed. Now that we have military advisers joining us, Wancheng will be more solid. "

Zhang Fei patted his chest and said to himself: "Then Cao thief will use tricks. Back then Zhang Xiu was able to defend Wancheng. Why are you afraid of him if you have me and my second brother?"

Liu Bei nodded and nodded: "Speaking of which, Wancheng should be Cao Cao's sad place. His eldest son and general died here. The reason why Zhang Xiu was able to fight Cao Cao back and forth was because he had a powerful adviser Jia Xu by his side. "

"What is Jia Xu? We still have Master Xu."

Xu Shu glanced at Zhang Fei and commented with a smile: "Jia Xu is not a simple person. How many generals under Dong Zhuo's command at that time? Most of them would not die well. If Zhang Xiu hadn't had this person, how could he have the future of becoming a marquis and general? Cao Cao is willing to give up his great enmity, but he has no ability."

"Military commander, don't let other people's ambitions grow. I believe you are more scheming than him. Isn't Cao thief's son and general? You also use scheming to plot against these sons and generals." Zhang Fei looked at Xu Shu solemnly.
