Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

Chapter 156 Shan Fu?Xu Shu?
Xuyi, in a house in an alley in Dongcheng.

A young man was dressed in rags, with a long sword on his waist and a wine flask in his hand.

When he heard the sound of surrender at the city gate, a different kind of light flashed in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that Xuyi would be broken within an hour."

"Lin Fan, Lin Fan, who are you?"

"do not know either."

Before he finished speaking to himself, he heard a burst of mixed footsteps outside the hospital.

The young man was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "It seems you don't have to think too much, the people are here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard door was pushed open.

The patrol captain entered first. When he saw that the young man he had not seen for a few days was still there, the uneasiness on his face turned into surprise. He quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Shan, if you hadn't said what you said when you were drunk a few days ago, I'm afraid that I am the one who cannot escape death!"

The young man shook his drunken head: "It's just a joke, how can it be taken seriously?"

"Because the city gate has been closed these days, I can't leave. Excuse me, brother. Now that Xuyi City has been destroyed and everything has returned to calm, it's natural for me to say goodbye!"

"It just so happens that my brother is back, let's meet again!!"

How could the patrol captain let him leave? He took his arm and said, "Brother Shan, don't be anxious. There is a noble person here today, looking for you specifically. You can't leave now and leave me here alone, right?"

"Wait a moment, wait a moment!!"

While raising his voice, he looked towards the door.

The next moment Lin Fan appeared at the door, followed by Guo Jia, Yuwen Chengdu, and Zhao Yun carrying several jars of wine and some dishes.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Fan looked at the young man next to the patrol captain.

Even though his clothes are in tatters, he has a sword on his waist and exudes an aura that is neither humble nor arrogant, which should not be underestimated.

Lin Fan finally understood why the patrol captain was willing to lend a helping hand.

He must have seen how extraordinary this person was.

"I'm Lin Fan, please don't be offended if you come here uninvited!"

"I don't know how to call it?"

Lin Fan smiled and saluted with his fists cupped, but he didn't have the demeanor of a world-famous overlord at all.

The young man looked at Lin Fan carefully, and after a while, he returned the favor with clasped fists: "Shan Fu has met General Lin."

"I never thought that the overlord who was famous all over the world and made all the princes frightened also had such a side."

"It seems that the so-called rumors are untrue. Just naming him as a traitor would be misleading."

Single blessing?

Lin Fan was stunned, and the smile on his lips became even stronger.

The name Shan Fu is very familiar to Lin Fan, because this is Xu Shu, the counselor who sold horses in Xiaopei in history and assisted Liu Bei in defeating Cao Ren in Xiaopei (I will use Xu Shu from now on, no need to use this pseudonym!).

He didn't expect that Yuwen Chengdu's unintentional move would send a top strategist.

Although he knew the details of Xu Shu, Lin Fan did not reveal it and said with a smile: "This is the first time I heard someone comment from this aspect."

"Brother Shan is right. The name of a traitor makes people look down upon and look down upon."

"It is precisely because of this that I can sing triumphantly all the way and survive the hostility of the princes in the world."

"Otherwise, if the princes fight for their lives one by one, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand this coalition's attack."

Xu Shu smiled and said: "General, you are too modest!"

"In my opinion, even if the princes take it seriously, they still cannot destroy the general and cannot break Xuzhou."

Feeling the confidence in his words, Lin Fan became interested: "How do you say this?"

Xu Shu said: "Although there are many coalition forces, they all have different people's hearts and minds. Everyone is thinking about their own interests. No matter how many such coalition forces are, they are just a mob. How can they compete with the general?"

"The ability of the second general is far beyond what others thought. He defeated Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao in succession. The consecutive victories have made the morale of the whole army high. Just defending the city can be said to be easy." "Even if there is no general, he can lead the elite to occupy all the troops." The time, place, and people are favorable. If the coalition forces defeat Xiaopei, it will be difficult for them to reach Pengcheng. As time goes by, they will still retreat if they run out of food and grass!"

"It's just that I didn't expect that the general would not even be willing to stay dormant for a while, and break through ten meetings with one force."

"An operation to defeat the coalition forces from the front."

"But it is precisely because of this that the general can stand in Xuyi City today."

"Yuan Shucai did not dare to fight the general outside the city, so he chose to give up the advantage of the first-line navy in the Huaihe River and tie himself up."

"The links are intertwined, and the general's abilities are unbelievable!!"

After hearing Xu Shu's lofty remarks, Lin Fan's smile became even stronger.

A top strategist is a top strategist, and his words hit the mark.

No wonder in history Xu Shu was plotted by Cao Cao to leave, and Liu Bei was reluctant to let go.

Who would be willing to let go of such a talented person who has been sent thirty miles away in a row?
"If Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others hear these lofty remarks made by Brother Shan, I am afraid they will be so angry that they will vomit blood."

"Before the results come out, they all feel that this battle is bound to be won. What they should worry about is how to gain more benefits."

"But the mighty coalition forces turned out to be nothing more than a mob in Brother Shan's words."

Xu Shu smiled and said: "War is never about who has more people and can win."

"If this had been the case, King Zhang Han would not have been defeated by Xiang Yu in Julu, and the Qin Dynasty would not have been destroyed."

"During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Jiao would not have been defeated by the imperial court because he had more than a million people under his command."

"War is about knowing yourself and the enemy. The more you understand the enemy, the more accurate your judgment will be."

"This is the law that will never change!"

"Sometimes amplifying one's own strengths is not necessarily a good thing."

Lin Fan clapped his hands and praised: "That's right."

"Listening to Brother Shan's words will benefit you a lot!"

"But apart from these, how could Brother Shan guess that I would attack Xuyi?"

"Logically speaking, I decided to go south and arrived at Xuyi, which only took three days and three nights."

"There are ten rooms and nine empty rooms along the way, and I travel at night at dawn. I think I can hide it from most people's eyes."

"But Brother Shan could have guessed it a few days ago."

"I can't figure it out!"

"I wonder if Brother Shan can help me clear up my doubts?"

Xu Shu raised his neck and was about to take a sip of wine. Unexpectedly, the wine bottle in his hand only dripped a few drops, and then no more.

He looked embarrassed and bored.

Guo Jia, who was behind Lin Fan, saw this and said with a smile: "My lord is so thirsty for talents that he forgets everything else, but even if he wants to speak, he has to have his mouth moistened."

"It would be a waste to carry the wine but not drink it."

"Wouldn't it be more pleasant to sit down, drink and talk?"

Zhao Yun also understood what Guo Jia had done, and also smiled to help Xu Shu: "My lord, I have been thirsty all the way just now. How many drinks can we have?"

Yuwen Chengdu was even more belated and shouted loudly.

Seeing the excellent acting skills of everyone behind him, how could Lin Fan refuse?

He made a gesture of invitation towards Xu Shu: "I was negligent just now, please don't blame Brother Shan!"

"We have prepared fine wine and food. How many drinks can we have?"

Xu Shu naturally understood the good intentions of these people, and he cupped his fists in gratitude and saluted: "I have my wish, but I don't dare to invite you!"
