Changshe County belongs to the Cao Zhan District, and it is very close to Xuchang, so the fanfare will definitely not work, so Xu Shu brought eight entourages, disguised as traveling businessmen, and wanted to come secretly and go back secretly!

What I didn't expect was that the Caoying Group's government orders were strict and semi-military management was implemented. Ten families of the people were one Baojia, and they were not allowed to move without authorization. They helped each other in life, and they had to supervise and report each other. Sit down!

As a result, as soon as Xu Shu entered the house, he was discovered by the neighbors and reported to the head of the village, the head of the pavilion, and the county magistrate... Attracted a large group of government servants and surrounded Xu's house.

In a fierce battle, the guards were outnumbered. Seven of them died in battle and one escaped. Although Xu Shu was skilled in martial arts, he was afraid of hurting his mother, so he had to abandon his sword and surrender. The mother and son were imprisoned. This is what happened.

At that time, Cheng Yu offered a plan to force Xu Shu to submit to Cao Ying with Xu's mother as a hostage, but Xiao Yi stopped him, thinking that it was immoral to use his mother to force his son, but Xu Shu still entered Cao Ying after a big circle. Maybe this is God's will?

"Tiger idiot - where is Xu Chu? Quickly lead three hundred tiger and leopard riders to the Changshe county government office and invite Xu Shu's mother and son to Xuchang. Remember to treat each other with courtesy and come back unscathed!"

"promise!"

"The county magistrate of Changshe has made great achievements. He was promoted to two levels of official positions. The pavilion chief and village chief rewarded 50 taels, and the rewards for reporting the common people were [-] taels, and he was given [-] mu of fertile land!"

"promise!"

After the news was confirmed, Cao Cao was overjoyed. Not only did he send his bodyguards, but he also dispatched a car of his own to meet Xu Shu's mother and son. The courtesy is so rare!

Obviously, the treacherous hero moved his love for talents and wanted to treat Xu Shu generously, and then resolve the grievances and take them for his own use. Many civil and military ministers in Cao Ying have surrendered in this way!

For example, Zhang Ying, Xin Pi, and Xin Ping are all subordinates of Yuan Shao, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are subordinates of Lu Bu, Wen Pin, Cai Hao, and Zhang Yun are Liu Biao's people, and even Xiao Yi, who relies most heavily on him, was originally a general of Bingzhou-Zhang Yang's subordinates. All collected for their own use!

"The prime minister treats Xu Yuanzhi courteously, presumably with the intention of soliciting him, but he is very moral and righteous, loyal to the big-eared thief, and his mother is also a loyal daughter, if you act too hastily, I'm afraid it will cause people's lives!

It's better to choose a house, settle the mother and child well, persuade them slowly with warm words, and tie their hearts with generosity, this is the best policy! "

Xin Pi stood up. He is from Yingchuan County-Yangdi County, which is adjacent to Changshe County. He had a relationship with Xu Shu when he was young, and he knows his family affairs very well!

"George's words are justified, this matter should not be rushed, we will choose a good house near the prime minister's mansion, and then allocate thirty servants and maidservants, as well as luxurious clothes and delicacies, to treat Xu Shu's mother and son well!

The big-eared thief treated Xu Yuanzhi, but it was only kindness, and the old man was even more generous with him, so why worry that the great sage is not used by me--haha! "

"Congratulations, Prime Minister!--Congratulations, Prime Minister!"

Chapter 1410 The Great Army's Expedition to the West, God-given Counselor ([-])

Changshe County - On the wide avenue, a silver box cart with five horses is slowly advancing. The tiger idiot Xu Chu is wearing heavy armor and holding a sawtooth sword. He leads three hundred tigers and leopards to closely guard him. Wherever the team went, the pedestrians along the way all backed away and whispered!

According to the ancient system: the emperor drives six, the princes drive five, and the Qing drives four... Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, the emperor is under house arrest and the palace is not out, and the clan and princes are all withered. Only Prime Minister Cao is qualified to drive with five horses One person!

However, this team has five-horse chariots and tiger and leopard riders as guards, but there is no big flag with the word "Cao" in it, and there are no civil and military officials accompanying it, which means that the person sitting in the car is not the prime minister!

But in the whole world, who has such a big face to be able to ride in the car of the prime minister? Could it be that the local princes came to Beijing, or that veteran, important minister, and well-known scholar?

"Oh!--ho!

Pedestrians talked a lot, and the passengers shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Xu Shu never dreamed that one day he would ride in Cao Cao's car, let alone that he would become a prisoner. Life is like a dream, and luck and fortune are unpredictable!

I thought that Changshe County was close to Xuchang, and it was the old nest of the Caoying Group, so I took advantage of the principle of "darkness under the lights", sneaked home with a few guards, and secretly picked up the old mother.

It turned out to be a big mistake, I entered the house with my front foot, and before the mat was warmed up, the government servants came to the door with my back foot, and the person who came forward to report my whereabouts turned out to be a member of the same family with the surname Xu!

What was even more unexpected was that when he was leading the guards to fight fiercely with the yamen servants and was about to fight a bloody road, the neighbors around him came to help with hoes and pickaxes.

It's a pity, they didn't come to help themselves, but to help those yamen servants. After a fierce group fight, the guards escaped with seven deaths. Considering the safety of his mother, he had no choice but to abandon his sword and be captured. Why?

Why do blood relatives of the same clan report themselves to the government? Why do neighbors who have been with each other for generations and are as close as a family help the yamen servants to arrest him? Is it for money rewards, or is there another reason?

"My son sighed and sighed, could it be that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and wants to be a person who bends his knees and prays for life-cough cough!"

"Mother takes care of her health. Although my son is not a great talent, he also knows the truth of 'Confucius said to be benevolent, and Meng said to obtain righteousness'. Why should a man be afraid of death, but there are some things that my son really doesn't understand?"

"My son can't figure it out, but why the relatives came forward to report and why the neighbors helped the government servants, it's not their fault, really, it's not their fault!"

…………

Xu's mother's clothes are simple and her expression is peaceful. Although she is over [-] years old, she still has charm in the corners of her eyes and brows, which shows that she was a great beauty when she was young!

It's just that the figure is too thin, coughing constantly when talking, covering his lungs with one hand, and showing pain on his face, obviously he is suffering from a hidden disease!

There are also two maids in the carriage, helping Xu's mother beat her back to smooth her breath, drink water to suppress her cough, and at the same time lightly press the Xuanguan point on her wrist, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. martial arts.

This was specially arranged by Xiao Yi before the convoy set off. One was to serve Xu Shu's mother and son and take care of daily life;

"My son is not filial. He has been wandering all over the world and failed to serve his mother. This time he came back with great difficulty, and his mother was frightened. I am afraid that disaster will happen again. The son is ashamed of his mother's kindness in raising him!"

Xu Shu lost his father since he was a child, and he was raised by his mother who worked so hard to raise silkworms, pick mulberries, and spin silk... Weaving day and night, chopping firewood in the mountains, and working in the fields, he was exhausted from illness!

I wanted to take my mother to Jiangling City and take good care of her, but I didn't want to fall into the hands of Cao Jun. At least she would be imprisoned, and at worst, her head would fall to the ground. Therefore, Xu Shu was very guilty and kowtowed in the carriage to plead guilty!

"The ancients said: life and death are determined, wealth and honor are in the sky, my son only needs to remember the ancestors' precepts, don't be a traitor, don't betray the master for glory, and let the rest be fate... Huh!"

Xu's mother has been suffering from illness, tossing and turning every night, and having trouble falling asleep. Now, she is gently massaged by two maids and takes a Shunqi pill. She feels comfortable all over. After comforting her son, she slowly falls asleep ...

"Seeing his mother sleeping soundly, Xu Shu felt relieved, nodded his thanks to the two maids, and then sat cross-legged in a corner of the carriage, trying not to make any noise, so as not to disturb his sleeping mother!

He opened a corner of the car window to check the situation outside. He lurks all the way into Yingchuan. In order not to reveal his whereabouts, he sleeps during the day and travels at night. He hasn’t had a good look at his long-lost hometown!

Xu Shu was forced to flee his hometown in order to avenge and kill his friends in the sixth year of Zhongping. After that, he has been studying in Jingxiang, respecting Mr. Shuijing and Pang Degong as teachers, and being friends with Zhuge Kongming, Meng Gongwei and others. He has not been back for more than ten years. up.

Yingchuan is located at the junction of the three prefectures of Si, Yan, and Henan. It is famous for its rich products and outstanding people, such as Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhong Yao, Xin Pi, Xin Ping... These important ministers of Cao Ying are all Xu Shu's fellow villagers!

Similarly, Yingchuan is also a battleground for military strategists. There have been constant wars for more than ten years. The Yellow Turban Army, Xiliang Army, Princes’ Army, and Cao Army...you come and go, and the battles are constant. Floods, droughts, and locust plagues have also visited many times!

Therefore, Xu Shu has always believed that his hometown should be full of devastation and the countryside is dilapidated, but what he sees is exactly the opposite...

Sunflowers in the green garden, morning dew waiting for the sun,

Yangchun Budeze, all things are radiant,

I often fear that the autumn festival will come, and the leaves of Kun Huanghua will decline,

When Baichuan goes east to the sea, when will it return?

………………

It's early summer, and the roads are lined with neat patches of wheat fields. The wheat seedlings are green and growing vigorously. A large group of farmers wearing bamboo hats are singing Hanfu folk songs while weeding hard!

There are even more robust village women who lead their children with one hand and straddle a basket with the other, delivering food to the men working in the fields, rough flatbread, pickles, green onions... Although they are not delicious, they can still fill their stomachs!

Looking further into the distance, there are rows of keel waterwheels standing on the shore of the stretching Yingshui River, using the wind to drive the blades to continuously lift up the river water to irrigate the tens of thousands of mu of fertile fields on both sides of the bank...

"Cao thief deceived the emperor, and Xiao Yi was bloodthirsty, so the two controlled the state affairs. The people should be in dire straits and filled with complaints. Why is there such a peaceful scene?

By the way, Changshe County is close to Xuchang City, and it is a place where rich and powerful people gather. The wheat field I see in front of me must be a private field of a certain rich and powerful person, which is why it is so prosperous. It may not be the case in other places! "

Thinking of this, Xu Shu stretched his neck, widened his eyes, and stared at every field and every village, hoping to see the 'real' situation.
