In this world, some things are very wonderful!

In ancient times, there were many people who seemed to be born enemies and could not pee in a pot. They were called "the eight characters are incompatible and the fate is incompatible" by the ancients!

Even today with the development of science, this kind of thing is common, and we can only use "inconsistency in character" as an explanation!

This seems to be the case for Guan Yu and Liu Feng. As soon as they met, they looked at each other and didn't like each other.

Liu Bei naturally would not take such trivial matters to heart. He made a plan with Xu Shu and ordered Zhao Yun to lead a thousand troops to station in Fancheng, and Liu Bei led his people back to Xinye.

Back in Xinye, Liu Bei did not rush to hold a celebration banquet this time. When the visiting Malaysia came, Cao Renling had already joined Xuchang and then held a banquet to reward the three armies!

......

......

Cao Ren and Li Dian led thousands of remaining troops back to Xudu, first placed the soldiers in the military camp, with dust on their faces and did not dare to go home to wash up. Then they went to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Li Dian to pay a visit to Cao Cao. This was Cao Ren intended to play the tragic card.

It just so happened that Cao Cao had no office work and rested in his study, so he asked the concierge to bring Cao Ren and Li Dian in.

This time, Cao Ren was defeated and was in disgrace. When he saw Cao Cao, he was like a child who was wronged outside. With a thud, he knelt on the ground and cried loudly, and choked up and apologized to Cao Cao!

Cao Ren was a bachelor, and he did not give Li Dian too much in his words. He made it clear that he would lose his troops and generals, and he would bear all the blame himself!

Cao Cao knew that Cao Ren had always been a good person, so he did not ask Li Dian any other questions. Just a glance, he knew that what Cao Ren said was true!

Li Dian was a little dissatisfied with Cao Ren, but as a deputy general, he could not let the main general take responsibility alone, and he also stood up and took the initiative to take the responsibility.

Even if Cao Cao loses tens of thousands of troops, it will be very painful even if he is strong! If other generals lead the troops, although they may not be severely punished, they will not be burned if they are scolded.

Cao Ren's identity is different. Not only is his confidant general, but his clan brother, the spokesperson of the family in his group, he can compete with Cao Cao!

Cao Ren is also the link between Cao Cao and his clan elders. Cao Cao did not want to punish him, so he said lightly:

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, and there is no need to be filial to the son. With Liu Bei's ability to use troops, even if Zhang and other generals are the bravest generals of the three armies, they cannot defeat you so badly! In fact, Liu Bei is a typical example of winning with less and winning with more. Some information must be a master and wise man to give him advice behind his back, but I wonder who is planning for Liu Bei?"

Cao Ren admired Cao Cao very much. Seeing his first words, he asked his point and quickly replied:

"The Prime Minister expected it to be right! At the beginning, the generals did not know that there was a master planning for Liu Bei, so I boldly attacked Xinye with the advantage of many troops. Then I was caught in Liu Bei's plot. On the way back to Xuchang, I asked people from many places to inquire. Only then did I know that Xu Shu was planning for Liu Bei and defeated our 30,000 army with less than 10,000 troops. This unknown figure has some ability and I don't know where it came out!"

Cao Cao didn't have many hobbies in his life, but he definitely really cherishes talents! If the current medical experts explain it, he is a kind of pathology. In the expert's diagnostic dictionary, there should be an additional disease name for "talent-loving" one.

Cao Cao cherished talents to the point where he could not understand it. Because he cherished Guan Yu, he not only gave him a generous reward, but wanted to retain talents! Although Guan Yu killed many of his generals on the way out, he still let Guan Yu go!

In order to cherish Jia Xu, the top strategist, Cao Cao was able to give up the revenge of killing his son, accepted Zhang Xiu's surrender, and gave him a good reward!

Cao Cao had never heard of Xu Shu's name, but his talent had already touched his itch and he wanted to take it under his command immediately!

Since Cao Ren and the others didn't know Xu Shu's background, it would be useless to keep them, so he waved his hand and asked Cao Ren and Li Dian to go back and have a good rest.

Cao Cao's "talentedness" attack must have caused him to not sleep well and eat well. He hurriedly sent someone to summon his advisers to inquire about Xu Shu's origin.

After all the advisers under his command arrived, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Dong Zhao, Liu Ye and others gathered together, but the absence of Guo Jia made Cao Cao somewhat sad!

Cao Cao briefly introduced the war in Xinye and the miserable defeat against Cao Ren, because the strategists had their own information channels, and they all knew it!

However, the defeat of this war was a bit strange, and the identity of the chief general Cao Ren was relatively sensitive, and the counselors deliberately avoided this topic.

Cao Cao didn't beat around the bush and asked Xu Shu about his origins.

The strategists here, because Xu Shu's appearance was very sudden, had not had time to investigate his background. They didn't know who Xu Shu was, so they naturally looked at each other in person!

Just when Cao Cao was very disappointed, Cheng Yu smiled and replied: "Lord, Xu Shu, whose courtesy name is Yuanzhi, used to study at Lumen Academy, but he was not from Jingxiang, but from Yingchuan not far away."

Cheng Yu, whose courtesy name was Zhongde, was from Dong'a, Dongjun, Yanzhou. He was born in the sixth year of Yonghe (141 AD). He is a famous wise man in Yanzhou.

Because of his low background and poor family, Cheng Yu was not able to become an official when he was young. Therefore, he had time to study abroad, made many friends, had a lot of knowledge, and enjoyed a reputation in the village.

Until the third year of Chuping, Cheng Yu was conscripted by Cao Cao as the Shou Zhang Ling. He was already fifty-two years old, and since then he made suggestions to him to fight in all directions.

Cheng Yu, 68 years old, is still well-known and remembered. He traveled in Yingchuan when he was young. Xu Shu had just escaped, and happened to hear about his deeds that people talk about.

From then on, Cheng Yu paid attention to Xu Shu's affairs. During his study tour, he often deliberately inquire about Xu Shu's situation. Therefore, he knew Xu Shu's background very well.

When Cao Cao heard that Cheng Yu knew Xu Shu, he was overjoyed and said quickly:

"Zhongde, let me tell you carefully!".

So, Cheng Yu wrote that Xu Shu liked to dance swords and swords when he was young, advocated raiders, and was fond of injustice. He fought and killed some street gangsters all day long. He had killed people for avenging others. After being arrested by the government, he refused to say his name. So the county magistrate asked the yamen runners to parade the streets and let passers-by identify them, but no one dared to say his name. Later, after he was rescued by his accomplices, he changed his name and fled to other places. From then on, Xu Shu abandoned Wu and followed the literature, went to the scholars to learn from the famous teachers, and after arriving in Jingzhou, he was friendly with Zhuge Liang and Cui Zhouping, and entered Lumen Academy to study together, etc., and all of them were said.

When Cao Cao heard that Xu Shu's behavior in his youth was quite similar to his behaviors such as his willful, heroic, unruly and unruly behavior when he was young, he immediately felt like a confidant. He couldn't help but have a doubled interest in Xu Shu, and he wanted to take it under his command!
