He was Zhuge Liang's Bole, but he was forgotten by the world, and if it were not for him Cao Cao would have ruled the world long ago
Speaking of the Three Kingdoms, many people will have a lot of allusions in their minds, such as grass boat borrowing arrows, fledgling, backwater war, three Gu Maolu, etc., the allusion of the three Gu Maolu in the classroom is a lesson that the teacher must talk about, and it is also the most well-known allusion, the first time to Zhuge Liang went out for a leisurely swim did not see the above, not a few days Later Liu Bei took Guan Yu Zhang Fei and Hou Li braved the goose feather snow to ask Zhuge Liang to help him calm the world, unfortunately Zhuge Liang took a step out of the door first, Liu Bei left a letter disappointed and returned, After the end of the year, Liu Bei went to Zhuge Liang's house again, and when he was on a lunch break, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei had to wait for him to wake up at the door. This dialogue is called "Longzhong Pair", and why did Liu Bei think of inviting Zhuge Liang? Mainly from Xu Shu.
Xu Shu, also known as Xu Fu, was born in The Cold Gate, and at first was valued by Liu Biao and invited him to his account, but Xu Shu did not look at him and refused to resign from his official position and left, during which Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao in the Central Plains and had nowhere to go to Liu Biao, Liu Biao ostensibly accepted that he had doubts about him in his heart, and arranged for him to be in Xinye, Henan, where Xu Shu met Liu Bei and found that he had great ambitions and was very kind to his soldiers. He immediately recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei and suggested that he personally visit the invitation.
When Cao Cao was thirteen years old in Jian'an, Cao Cao led a large army to the south, Xu Shu took his family and Zhuge Liang to flee with Liu Bei, unfortunately Cao Cao captured Xu Shu's mother, and there were only two roads in front of Xu Shu, one was to continue to follow Liu Bei to serve him, and the other was to go to Cao Cao's account to sell his life for his mother's life. As the saying goes, "since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to complete", Xu Shu chose Cao Cao in order to save his mother, so with such a sentence after the break, Xu Shu entered cao's camp - without a word.
Cao Cao wanted to get Xu Shu because he had helped him repel Several Cao Cao's attacks while serving Liu Bei, so he designed to trick him into coming to his camp. When Xu Shu bid farewell to Liu Bei, he said such a sentence: "Even if Cao Cao is forced, Shu will not set up a conspiracy for life", you must know that xu Shu's biggest characteristic of this person is to say that one is not two, and it is precisely because he adheres to his integrity that he has today. No wonder that Liang General did not do anything to the second lord, in Cao Camp he saw through Pang Tong's serial plan at a glance, but he was sober-minded and silent, did not remind Cao Cao, throughout the history of the Three Kingdoms he really did not have any strategy for Cao Cao, as originally said, some people will say that he did not contribute to Liu Bei in history, in fact, Sangu Maolu was the first plan he sacrificed for Liu Bei, cao Cao had nothing to do with him and later put him under house arrest.
History records Xu Shu particularly prominently in three things, one is that in the early years he avenged his friend and killed people and was arrested by the government, and after his release, he abandoned Wu Congwen; second, he became friends with Zhuge Liang and recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei; and the third is that he, a great filial son, went to Cao Cao's camp to save his mother. This is why he is easily forgotten, especially in the later period, which basically did not appear. But it can not negate his historical brilliance, the first point is the talent he recommended Zhuge Liang, that is to say, there is Bole first and then there are Maxima, some people will say that talents like Zhuge Liang will be invited out of the mountain sooner or later, but it is necessary to know that Xu Shu's plan for Liu Bei is absolute, and it is not too much to say that Xu Shu is Zhuge Liang's Bole.
Later, Pang Tong's serial plan, if Xu Shu stood up at that time and was not silent, would history be rewritten? Therefore, Xu Shu's talents are all innuendo from the side, especially after he went to Cao Ying for 20 years, his position was as a county guard, and Zhuge Liang led the Northern Expedition to sigh that there were not many strategists in the State of Wei? Otherwise, how could a talent like Xu Shu be such a petty official! Xu Shu was once sent out by Cao Cao to negotiate with Liu Bei, to say that this time he could have followed Liu Bei back to continue to serve, but he did not do so, but according to Cao Cao's will, they all walked around and returned to Cao Cao's side, and some people did not understand that he did not want to follow Liu Bei day and night!
And Xu Shu's idea is that his loyalty lies in this, his stay in Cao Ying is the manifestation of his loyalty, he will not take deceptive behavior in order to get it like Cao Cao, and he has no reason to return to Liu Bei, if he rushes back to repeat it will only make people think that he is changeable and even wall-headed grass, which is why he is praised by posterity. His help to Liu Bei and his reluctance to contribute to Cao Cao greatly hindered Cao Cao, because he was not shining enough to be forgotten, and without his presence, it is estimated that Cao Cao would have unified the whole country long ago.
