Three Kingdoms: I have a job transfer palace

Liu Bei had already felt that he would not be able to defend Xiapi. After working hard for many years, he finally had a place to be useful in Xuzhou, but he would soon lose it again.

However, after hearing Xu Shu's words at this time, he suddenly saw hundreds of Cao Cao's hopes.

So he immediately bowed his hands to Xu Shu and said:"Sir, you are really prepared for the timely rain.

I want to ask you to be a military advisor to help you revive the Han Dynasty.

I also invite you to go and have a rest, and prepare some wine and food for you to help you return as soon as possible."."

Xu Shu saw that Liu Bei trusted him so much when he met him for the first time. He immediately fell to the ground and said at the same time:"I am truly lucky to be favored by Duke Xuande.

But at this time, Cao Cao may lead the army at any time. The army is attacking Xiapi, so I don't dare to delay, so I should set off for Yuzhou immediately. I also ask Duke Xuande not to blame me.

When I come back, I will stay with Duke Xuande for the rest of my life and make suggestions for him."

Liu Bei listened. After reading Xu Shu's words, he also lamented that Xu Shu had clear priorities in doing things, and immediately said that after Xu Shu came back, they would defeat Cao's army together and then celebrate Xu Shu's success.

Then Xu Shu immediately left Xiapi and went to Yuzhou.

As Xu Shu expected, Cao Cao's army went south and surrounded Xiapi City just before he left.

After surrounding Xiapi, Cao Cao once shouted to the city that as long as Liu Bei abandoned the city and surrendered, he would spare the lives of the people of Xiapi and promised not to kill Liu Bei.

However, Liu Bei did not trust Cao Cao and insisted on defending the city.

Seeing that persuading him to surrender was ineffective, Cao Cao immediately ordered his army to attack the city.

Liu Bei showed the momentum of living and dying with Xiapi, leading Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to defend the city, and constantly commanded the defenders to defend the city with bows and arrows, boiling oil, stones, wood and other equipment.

During this period, Mi Zhu saw Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops besieging him like ants, so he tried several times to persuade Liu Bei to abandon the city and retreat.

However, Liu Bei always kept Xu Shu's words in mind, fought hard to defend Xiapi, and refused to retreat. No matter how Mi Zhu persuaded him, he firmly believed that Xu Shu would definitely come with reinforcements.

During this period, Liu Bei continued to encourage the defenders in the city, making them believe that once Cao Cao captured Xiapi, the tragedy of the previous massacre of the city would be repeated.

As long as they can persevere and wait until Xu Shu leads the Yuzhou reinforcements to arrive, they can completely defeat Cao Cao, drive him out of Xuzhou, and avenge the soldiers who died in the previous battle and the people who were massacred.

After Liu Bei's encouragement and the soldiers' fear of Cao Cao's massacre of the city, the Xiapi defenders broke out with huge fighting power, and even the people of Xiapi participated in the battle to defend the city.

For a time, Liu Bei's soldiers burst out with huge energy. With the united cooperation of Xiapi soldiers and civilians, Cao's army, which had been victorious all the way, returned with no success for many days in a row.

However, as the battle continued, the Xiapi defenders, who were at a disadvantage in terms of strength, finally showed signs of being unable to hold on.

So Cao Cao ordered to strengthen the offensive, hoping to capture Xiapi as soon as possible.

Just when Liu Bei was about to lose his hold, Xu Shu returned to Xiapi with tens of thousands of Yuzhou reinforcements and launched a sneak attack from the rear of Cao Jun.

Cao Cao was concentrating on commanding the army to attack the city, but he did not expect that tens of thousands of enemy troops suddenly appeared in the rear. Suddenly, he was in a hurry to command the army in front of the city that was attacking the city to turn around and intercept the enemy troops in the rear.

At this time, Liu Bei in Xiapi City was overjoyed when he saw that Xu Shu had returned with reinforcements. He immediately ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead 10,000 Xiapi garrison out of the city and attack Cao Cao with Xu Shu.

For the past ten days, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had been defending the city. They were suppressed and beaten by Cao Cao's army, and they had long been holding back a bad breath in their hearts.

Now he was finally able to lead his army out of the city and fight head-on with Cao's army. Suddenly, like a tiger coming out of its cage, it launched a crazy massacre against Cao's army.

Moreover, both of them are super generals, both of them have bravery that no man can match. In Cao's army, they are like tigers among sheep, fighting from left to right, but there is no one who can unite.

In this way, Xu Shu and Liu Bei joined forces and finally gave Cao Cao a fatal blow.

After losing a large number of troops, Cao Cao had to temporarily retreat to Yanzhou.

However, he still left enough people to handle the cities he captured in Xuzhou.

After returning to Yanzhou, Cao Cao was very puzzled by Liu Bei's sudden change, as if he had changed his army, so he ordered a large number of scouts and spies to crawl out of his men and go to Xiapi to inquire about Liu Bei's intelligence.

A few days later, the spies found out that the reason why Liu Bei was able to mobilize his army to defend Xiapi and suddenly find reinforcements was because of the strategy offered by a man named Xu Shu.

So he returned to Yanzhou and reported Xu Shu's incident to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was very curious about the sudden appearance of such a powerful counselor under Liu Bei, but when he heard that this person was from Yingchuan, he immediately called Xi Zhicai and asked Xu Shu about his abilities.

Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu were both from Yingchuan and had studied at Yingchuan Academy together, so they knew each other very well.

Therefore, when Xi Zhi saw Cao Cao asking about it, he introduced:"Xu Shu's original name is Xu Fu. When he was young, he liked to practice swordsmanship and be a chivalrous man. Later, he was arrested by the government for revenge.

After escaping, he changed his past chivalrous habits and changed his name to go there. He studied at Yingchuan Academy.

Although he is from a poor family, he is very smart and studies very hard. It can be said that his talents can definitely be ranked among the top five in Yingchuan Academy.

This person is good at strategy and is definitely a super A counselor.

Not only is he extremely intelligent, he is also known as a filial son, and he obeys his mother's words." After hearing Xi Zhicai's introduction to Xu Shu, Cao Cao admired Xu Shu very much.

He said:"Filial piety comes first. Xu Shu's ability to achieve such results must be closely related to his old mother. Moreover,

Liu Bei had been defeated in front of me in a row without winning a single victory. I killed him and he lost his armor all the way. Not a single city could be defended, and I was as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog. But as soon as Xu Yuanzhi came, the situation immediately reversed, and he killed our army by surprise, which shows Xu Yuanzhi's ability.

It's a pity that such a talented person cannot be used by me, but The pearl in Liu Bei's hands is a secret investment."

At this time, Cheng Yu listened to Cao Cao's words and said to Cao Cao:"If my lord wants to conquer this Xu Shu, my subordinates have a plan.

Since Xu Shu is a filial son, why don't my lord take his mother in? Come to us and ask her to write a letter to Xu Shu to persuade him to serve the lord?"

After hearing this, Xi Zhi dissuaded him and said:"My lord, no, although Xu Shu obeys his mother's advice, Xu's mother is also very decisive. People.

Since Xu Shu already has someone to be loyal to, she will definitely not interfere."

However, Cao Cao did not agree. He said:"How can we know that Xu Shu is not willing if we don't try?

If she is really unwilling, let's think about it again. The solution, in short, is to bring Xu Shu."
