The same person who had a bad night's sleep was Liu Bei.
He was wondering whether he should let Xu Shu go back. After all, Xu Shu knew a lot about himself and trusted Xu Shu in his heart, but he was still very afraid of Chen Zhou. He knew that Chen Zhou had many tricks, and he could easily use Xu Shu's hairpin. Xu Shu.
If Xu Shu goes back and Chen Zhou does something to Xu's mother, he will completely take Xu Shu's hands off her.
At that time, many things will not be decided by Xu Shu.
Just when Liu Bei was super confused, Zhuge Liang and Chen Gong came, and after a while, Xu Shu also came.
At this time, Xu Shu's eyes were bloodshot and his face was haggard. It could be seen that the question of whether he should go back last night gave him a headache and was very torturous.
"Yuanzhi, what do you think?"
Liu Bei's face was filled with benevolence and righteousness, and he said righteously: "I hope you can go back. Mother is the most important thing and filial piety is important. It's actually fine here. When I get to Yingchuan, we can meet again. I'll wait for you to open the city for me." door moment.”
That's what he said, but Liu Bei had something different in mind.
To put it simply, it means what you mean.
Chen Gong has been with Liu Bei for the longest time, and he also knows Chen Zhou's abilities. He understands Liu Bei's concerns at a glance, and also feels scruples about Chen Zhou. He is thoughtful and wondering whether he should let Xu Shu go back. .
"Lord, I have decided."
Xu Shu took a deep breath and seemed to have thought about it for a long time before making this decision. He said helplessly: "I can't ignore my mother and want to go back, but when I am with Cao Cao, I will never help Cao Cao or betray my lord. Otherwise I will die!"
His tone was firm and his attitude was firm. After thinking about it all night, this was the final answer.
"good!"
Liu Bei said nonchalantly: "I can understand Yuan Zhi's filial piety. Even if you fight with me on the battlefield for my aunt, I will never blame you. I will only blame Cao Cao for being cunning and cunning, and will do whatever it takes. As long as you and your aunt can Just be fine.”
"Lord!"
Xu Shu was grateful.
Zhuge Liang asked: "When does Yuan Zhi plan to go back?"
Xu Shu said: "Tomorrow, I want to go back as soon as possible. If I don't get news from my mother for a day, I will feel very uneasy."
Zhuge Liang sighed, patted his shoulder and said, "I can't help you with anything. I just hope that my aunt is okay and you are okay too."
"Thanks."
"Lord, I'm sorry."
Xu Shu finally bowed deeply in front of Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's face was filled with pity and reluctance to part with Xu Shu, but he made excellent use of his benevolence and righteousness, actively pushing Xu Shu to the side of filial piety, and continuing to build his reputation.
Even though it was a pity to lose Xu Shu, and I was worried that Xu Shu would bring disadvantages to me, but for the sake of benevolence and righteousness, it didn't matter.
Sometimes benevolence and righteousness are done well, even if it is done deliberately many times, you will get used to treating benevolence and righteousness as your duty and take everything for granted.
Xu Shu left and wanted to prepare for his return.
"Yuan Zhi will probably have to go back on his own this time."
Zhuge Liang sighed: "There must be an expert around Cao Cao who knows everything about Yuan Zhi. It would be easy for that expert to control Yuan Zhi."
What he thought was the same as Liu Bei's.
I don’t think Xu Shu can really die if he goes back.
"Lord, I don't think Yuan Zhi should be allowed to go back."
Chen Gong shook his head and said, "Yuan Zhi knows a lot about us."
Liu Bei said solemnly: "Gongtai, stop talking. Yuan Zhi has done so many things for me. I can't let Yuan Zhi be unfilial. If Yuan Zhi doesn't live up to his loyalty, he must not live up to his filial piety."
Zhuge Liang bowed and said: "My lord is benevolent and righteous!"
This is Liu Bei's personality charm. To put it bluntly, even if he is really pretending, his personality charm is irreplaceable. He really does a good job and is easy to impress.
Chen Gong: "..."
After a while.
Liu Qi heard about Xu Shu's affairs and came over to show concern.
Their discussion ended quickly.
Chen Gong frowned, thinking that Xu Shu's departure would bring more benefits than disadvantages to Liu Bei. Maybe he should find a way to prevent Xu Shu from returning to Xudu, even if he was ruthless.
His cruelty has long been used against Liu Qi and Liu Cong.
Don't care about using it again.
"Who are you looking for? Chen Shuzhi!"
Chen Gong muttered in his heart for a while, then went to find Chen Dao. He had to persuade Chen Dao to help him handle this matter.
"no!"
When Chen Dao heard this, he immediately refused: "Mr. Yuanzhi has done so many things for the lord and saved his lord. How can I let him be unfilial and even kill him? Mr. Gongtai, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore."
He is also upright and upright.
Let him kill Xu Shu, but he can't do it at all.
"Uncle Zhi, I misunderstood. I didn't ask you to kill Yuan Zhi."
Chen Gong had no choice but to explain: "I asked you to capture Yuan Zhi and don't let him go to Xudu. Yuan Zhi knows many of our secrets. Letting him leave will have a very bad impact on us."
This is understandable, but the impact is indeed bad.
If these secrets were dug out by Cao Cao's people, it would not be conducive to their strategic deployment.
"It's okay to catch it back."
Chen Dao's expression softened a little, and he said again: "But what does the lord say?"
Chen Gong said: "Don't let the lord know it yet. I will make arrangements when the time comes. If there is any problem, I will bear it all by myself. I also think about it for the lord."
Hearing this, Chen Dao had some respect for Chen Gong.
It was wrong for Xu Shu to be unfilial, but by doing so, they were loyal to Liu Bei.
"In that case, I helped Mr. Gongtai do this."
Chen Dao nodded and said, "Do you have any specific plan?"
Chen Gong said: "Of course!"
They carried out this bold plan without telling Liu Bei.
——
The next day.
Outside Xinye City.
"Lord, don't worry!"
Xu Shu solemnly promised again: "When I arrive in Xudu, I will never do anything for Cao Cao. I just want to ensure my mother's safety. As long as my mother is safe, if Cao Cao forces me, then I will rather die than give in. Even if I die, I will not help." No matter what he does, he will never meet you on the battlefield."
Liu Bei said: "Yuanzhi, I believe you, but there are some things, there is no need to be too forced. If you are in trouble, try to save yourself and your aunt."
Xu Shu was once again so grateful that he was about to cry, and continued: "I will do it. In the future, when you come to Xudu, I will open the city gate with my own hands and welcome you in."
Zhuge Liang bowed and said: "Yuan Zhi, I believe this day will come!"
"Me too!"
Chen Gong said this, but he didn't think so in his heart.
Zhang Fei said angrily: "Cao Cao, that evil thief, how about I go back with Mr. Yuan Zhi and bring my aunt to kill him?"
"Yide, don't be ridiculous!"
Of course Liu Bei would not adopt Zhang Fei's suggestion. To save people by force would be to die, and said: "Yuanzhi, take care!"
"Lord, Kong Ming."
"You should also take care and wait for me!"
Xu Shu had already made up his mind to go to Xudu this time, preparing to be Liu Bei's second son in Cao Ying.
