When I recalled the content of the letter for the third time, Xu Shu finally realized that the format tone of the letter seemed to be inconsistent with his mother's usual tone.

Xu Shu woke up suddenly, this letter was fraudulent!

He quickly took out the letter from his sleeve and read it carefully. The letter's handwriting was very similar, and it was difficult to find flaws, but his tone was only eighty-point similar.

Xu Shu grew up under his mother's education since he was a child. He is very familiar with his mother's writing habits and tone.

After delivering the letter, the sender did not ask for a reply and left directly. Xu Shu concluded that the letter was probably fake!

He thought again that although this letter was false, judging from the description of the content, his mother's imprisonment should not be false.

Since it was determined that it was not my mother's handwritten letter, it was obvious that my mother was unwilling to go to Xuchang by herself, Xu Shu couldn't help but slow down and hesitated in his heart whether to see through Cao Cao's plan.

Xu Shu also heard that Cheng Yu, a counselor under Cao Cao, was good at imitating fonts. Now he has been working hard to forge letters from home to deceive himself into Xuchang. It is definitely not specifically targeting him, but Liu Bei!

Xu Shu speculated that Cao Cao was going to attack Jingzhou, so he used all means to rush to cut off Liu Bei's wings, and even used such despicable means!

After this analysis, Xu Shu immediately felt relieved. Although Cao Cao used his mother's threat to him, if he ignored him, he would be accused of being unfilial.

This matter itself seems to have nothing, but in fact, it has a significant impact on Xu Shu!

The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety and righteousness, and this reputation of unfiliality could not be afforded!

Xu Shu had this reputation of being unfilial, and at least he did not dare to use him openly, such a person like Liu Bei who cherished his reputation, so Liu Bei had no choice but to let Xu Shu go one way.

Even if Xu Shu stayed and secretly gave advice to Liu Bei, his weight in Liu Bei's mind was much lower, and it was difficult to obey his plans, and his plans would be difficult to implement!

But if Xu Shu saw through Cao Cao's plan and pointed out that this letter of family was a fraud and he would not go to Xuchang to save his mother, he would not only not bear the reputation of being unfilial, but would gain a reputation for demonstrating his own wisdom.

Cao Cao would not really kill Xu Shu's mother, because in this way, it was not Xu Shu who was damaged, but Cao Cao!

Xu Shu rarely met a lord like Liu Bei and obeyed his advice. Therefore, after he saw through Cao Cao's plan, he turned his horse's head and galloped back without thinking.

Xu Shu came back from shooting horses, and the journey of more than ten miles arrived soon, and he didn't have much time to think about it.

When facing Liu Bei, just as he was about to speak out and see through Cao Cao's plan, another idea appeared in his mind!

That is to pretend to be trapped and go to Xuchang to see his mother. In his heart, as long as he can see his mother, it is nothing, and he thinks that in Xinye may not be his best choice!

Because during the period when Xu Shu was giving advice for Liu Bei, although Liu Bei followed the rules, Guan Yu often watched coldly and jumped out from time to time to sing the opposite tune, which made him feel a little restrained.

Although it was mainly Guan Yu, Xu Shu had always had a guess that Liu Bei intended to indulge Guan Yu and restrain himself.

And just as Xu Shu defeated Cao Ren and proved his talent, Liu Bei carried Xu Shu on his back and often sent people out to find out the whereabouts of Wolong and Feng Chu, as if he was interested in asking them out.

This is nothing. Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were originally good friends, and the three of them also had their own strengths. Pang Tong focused on military planning, Zhuge Liang was good at government affairs, while Xu Shu developed balancedly.

The three of them are together, and they can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. When they work together, they should be a nearly invincible trio. The key is that there is no stage for them to display.

And they were all arrogant and unwilling to surrender, so they have not found a suitable lord yet.

The problem is that Liu Bei did this behind his back, which means that he actually did not trust Xu Shu deep in his heart, which left a shadow on Xu Shu's heart.

Xu Shu felt even more that something that was not important to Liu Bei's mind was the fact that he was imprisoned because of his mother.

When Liu Bei heard that Xu Shu was about to leave because of his mother's imprisonment, he had no intention of stopping him!

Although Liu Bei said it nicely, it was very touching!

But Liu Bei did not take any practical action, and even Xu Shu didn't ask any questions, let alone sending someone to help Xu Shu rescue his mother!

At the beginning, Xu Shu didn't think much about it because Liu Bei stood at the commanding heights of morality. Now, when he looked back, Xu Shu still felt very disappointed!

This loss prompted him to change his mind in an instant, that is, he decided to still fall into the trap and take the opportunity to leave Shinno.

He did this, on the one hand, left a place for his friend Zhuge Liang, and on the other hand, he could also escape unscathed.

As for following the surrender of Cao Cao, keeping his promises and no longer giving advice, it has actually not damaged Xu Shuji's reputation.

...

...

The military advisor was an urgently needed talent for Liu Bei, because the wool dragon and phoenix chick couldn't be seen in his mind, and Liu Bei felt that he should be a better candidate to replace Xu Shu.

But "a bird in hand is better than a hundred birds in the forest!" Liu Bei was really at a loss when Xu Shu's sudden departure.

Liu Bei was still sad, but suddenly saw Xu Shu back and was overjoyed!

This time Liu Bei was really a surprise, a kind of joy of losing and regaining it!

Although he was also very sorry for losing Xu Shu just now, only if he truly lost can he realize its preciousness!

Looking at Xu Shu's gradually blurred back, Liu Bei realized that he really lost Xu Shu, and he had the urge to catch up with you. Now that he saw Xu Shu returning, he naturally met him and asked eagerly:

"Yuan Zhi replied, is it because he has no intention of leaving?"

Since Xu Shu changed his mind and gave up the opportunity to stay in Xinye to continue to serve Liu Bei, he still felt a little guilty about Liu Bei!

Xu Shu had no evidence for all these things, it was just his conjecture.

Maybe Liu Bei is a real gentleman, and the truth of the matter is not what he imagined!

In fact, Liu Bei gave him a good feeling and should be considered a good lord!

He instantly decided to recommend Zhuge Liang to replace him, and to explain to Liu Bei the reason for his return.

Xu Shu leaned his horse and said to Liu Bei: "Just just now, I was in a state of irritation because of my mother's affairs, and forgot to tell the envoy an important thing: 'There is a strange man here, only twenty miles outside Xiangyang City, why don't you ask for it?'?"

Liu Bei asked, "I dare to bother Yuan Zhi to invite him to meet him because of his pretext."

Xu Shu turned his gaze to Ma Su, but shook his head slightly, and said to Liu Bei:

"This person cannot be betrayed, and the king should take care of him in vain. If he gets help from this person, it is no different from Zhou getting Lu Wanghan getting Zhang Liang."
