Chapter 104

Xu Shu's residence is located near lumen mountain.

Liu Xiu returned from Longzhong and went straight to Xu Shu's residence.

Xu Shu's courtyard is very simple. There are three bamboo houses. There is a fence outside as a wall. Behind is a dense mountain forest. In front of the door is a bay of water. This place has a pleasant scenery with mountains and water on its back.

Liu Xiu came by carriage. After knocking on the door, Xu Shu came out to meet him.

"Brother Yuanzhi, I'm sorry."

Liu Xiu came forward and saluted.

Wearing a single brown dress, Xu Shu saw Liu Xiu with a smile on his face. He waved his hand and said, "dear brother, please come inside."

Entering the courtyard, Xu Shu and Liu Xiu sat down beside the stone table. Deng AI is from the back to take off the backpack, take out the book, looking for a corner of quiet reading.

Xu Shu looked at Deng AI and said, "my dear brother, your bookboy is not simple."

Liu Xiu said: "his name is Deng AI. He likes reading and can't put it down all day. He's going to be a nerd. But it's good to like reading. If you read more, you can understand the truth. "

Xu Shu said: "if you have the opportunity to read, you are willing to read. This is the image of outstanding people." After a pause, Xu Shu changed his mind and asked, "is it for you county that you come here this time?"

Liu Xiu didn't turn around to wipe the horn. He said straight to the point, "please give me a hand."

When Xu Shu heard the speech, he was silent.

Being an official is something Xu Shu must do. It was not Xu Shu's plan to become an official now. It was a matter of life for Xu Shu to choose the people he was loyal to.

Loyal Lord, must be careful choice, need careful consideration.

Liu Xiu's literary talent and martial arts are outstanding. However, as a superior, the most important thing is not how good his literary talent and martial arts are. If you don't have good literary talent, you can recruit talented people; if you don't have good martial arts, you can recruit strong generals. The most important point is to employ people.

Xu Shu hasn't seen this clearly yet. He doesn't know whether Liu Xiu will employ people.

When Liu Biao governed Jingzhou, there were countless talents in the territory, such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, or Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Han song, and so on. All of them had outstanding talents, but Liu Biao did not accept any of them for his own use.

Liu Biao has the ability, but he can't use people.

Xu Shu worried that Liu Xiu might have the same situation.

Especially a person with outstanding ability, in many cases, is more reluctant to listen to the opinions of subordinates. Xu Shu didn't doubt Liu Xiu's ability at all. What he considered was Liu Xiu's way of employing people.

He is good at employing people, which is what Xu Shu is most concerned about.

At the moment, Liu Xiu's mood sank down, but his face was still full of smile, and said: "brother Yuanzhi, don't be embarrassed. If you don't want to, I can't drag you to Youxian by force."

Xu Shu said, "it's not because I don't want to, but because I don't think it's suitable." When it comes to business, Xu Shu's address to Liu Xiu changed accordingly.

Liu Xiu's heart is a joy, asked: "how is appropriate?"

Xu Shu did not refuse decisively, which means that Liu Xiu has a certain chance. This result is different from the situation of meeting Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang has shown his attitude to avoid seeing him.

Now, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Liu Xiu will not give up.

Xu Shu said: "xiugongzi's ability is outstanding, but the most important thing in governing is not his own ability, but his ability to control. He should be able to use everyone's ability, make overall plans, listen to loyal advice, know how to use people, and other problems. These problems can't be solved on paper, they need to be judged from practice. "

That sounds broad.

In Liu Xiu's eyes, there was a look of joy. From a certain point of view, Xu Shu recognized him, but whether he could manage one side, whether he could have a foothold in you County smoothly, was the problem Xu Shu had to consider.

Liu Xiu turned his mind and said, "brother Yuanzhi, I have a proposal."

Xu Shu said, "what's the proposal?"

Liu Xiu said, "let's make a bet, or let's make three rules."

Xu Shu good strange way: "how to do?"

Liu xiudao: "it will last for one year. One year later, I will take over Yuzhang county and have a foothold in Yuzhang county. Brother Yuanzhi will give me a hand when he becomes an official. If I can't finish it, I will not mention the idea of inviting brother Yuanzhi to become an official. In my opinion, the process of taking Yuzhang county will involve all the problems you have considered. "

Xu Shu suddenly laughed and said, "young master Xiu is so bold. It's not easy to win Yuzhang County in one year."

Liu xiudao: "OK or not, next year depends on the result."

Xu Shu happily said: "master Xiu has said that. I can't refuse any more. This year, I will never be an official. For a period of one year, next year Mr. Xiu won Yuzhang county. I went to you county to join Mr. Xiu. "

"It's a deal."

Liu Xiu laughed and stretched out his right hand.

Xu Shu also stretched out his right hand, a crisp ring, two people clapped their hands as an oath.

The ancients believed that Xu Shu agreed to Liu Xiu, which meant that the final choice was in Liu Xiu's hands. As long as Liu Xiu opened up a situation in you county and won Yuzhang County, Xu Shu was one of his counsellors.Liu Xiu changed his mind and asked, "brother Yuanzhi has stayed in Xiangyang these years. Is there anyone else in his family?"

Liu Xiu is very clear about Xu Shu.

Xu Shu's old mother stayed in Yingchuan county all the time. Because of this, Xu Shu's mother was controlled by Cao Cao and Xu Shu had to work for Cao Cao.

Since he wanted to recruit Xu Shu, Liu Xiu naturally had to make plans early to solve his worries.

Xu Shu replied, "my mother is still living in Yingchuan county."

Liu Xiu asked tentatively, "brother Yuanzhi has been in Xiangyang. Why don't you take my aunt to Xiangyang? My aunt is old, but it's not suitable to be at home alone. "

Referring to his mother, Xu Shu's eyes showed a trace of sadness.

After years of wandering, Xu Shu never went home to see his mother, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't make a career and couldn't return home.

Liu Xiu then said: "the environment of lumen mountain is quiet, and Deng AI lost his father in his early years, and his mother also lived on the mountain alone. When my aunt comes, I can keep company with Deng AI's mother. What does brother Yuanzhi think? "

Xu Shu said, "my mother is sentimentally attached to her hometown. I'm afraid it's difficult for her to go south to Xiangyang."

Liu xiudao said, "brother Yuanzhi is in Xiangyang, and my aunt is bound to come to Xiangyang."

After a pause, Liu Xiu said: "it's just the so-called mother's thread in her hand and the wanderer's coat. When she's leaving, it's very tight. I'm afraid she'll come back late. The old mother is full of nostalgia for her son. Brother Yuanzhi is going to take his aunt to Xiangyang. I'm afraid it's too late for her to be happy. "

After hearing this, Xu Shu suddenly brightened his eyes and said, "it seems that there is still some meaning in this poem of master Xiu. Four lines of poetry are written about mother, but the artistic conception is hanging here, not finished. "

Liu xiudao said: "brother Yuanzhi's eyes are as bright as a torch, and there are two poems at the end."

Xu Shu said, "tell me quickly."

Liu Xiu said: "the last two poems, who said inch grass heart, reported three spring sunshine!"

"Who said inch grass heart, reported three spring sunshine!"

"Who said inch grass heart, reported three spring sunshine!"

Xu Shu murmured, his face was shocked, and his eyes showed a strong feeling of missing. He looked up at the sky, two lines of tears, quietly, from the face down.

He was even more remorseful and thought that his old mother should not be left alone in Yingchuan.

Xu Shu wiped away the tears from his eyes and said, "I'm glad to see you. A poem of my brother reminds me of my thoughts and makes me feel like my mother. This poem is a classic. "

Liu Xiu said with emotion: "brother Yuanzhi's true temperament is admirable. It's good to have a mother. "

Xu Shu's heart trembled for a moment, and then he remembered that his mother had died early, and his father didn't hurt him, and his brother didn't love him, so his situation was even worse.

Compared with Liu Xiu, he is already very good.

Liu Xiu threw out his idea and said, "I'll send someone to Chang she and take my aunt to Xiangyang. In this way, it's a good thing for aunt and brother Yuanzhi to be around him. "

Xu Shu said, "thank you, Mr. Xiu!"

Liu Xiu laughs, and he is more confident. As long as Xu Shu's mother comes to Xiangyang, Xu Shu can't run away. Moreover, Xu Shu agreed that he would send someone to meet him. Virtually, he had recognized Liu Xiu.
