At this time, Liu Bei's army was now stationed in a forest.

Liu Bei is now eating dry food leisurely. He hasn't been so happy for a long time. The feeling of playing around with others is really wonderful.

Xu Shu's face was not so good-looking. Xu Shu had suggested that Liu Bei move his army to attack other county towns, so the attack on Lu County was in trouble.

Lu County was defeated, but the style of Liu Bei's army shocked Xu Shu. The two thousand direct troops brought to Jingzhou actually became traitors and even burned Lu County. It was too late for Xu Shu to stop him.

Many of Liu Bei's soldiers were from Runan thieves. It took so long that Liu Bei was able to manage his army well. However, these people were thinking that they would reward themselves no matter how hard they were. So when they quickly captured Lu County, some soldiers with bad nature began to rob. Some people started to start, and others began to imitate it, and quickly spread throughout the army like a plague. In the end, Lu County turned into a white land. The unfair result was that the people of Lu County were not threatened by their lives.

Liu Bei felt that he had only a little bit of money left now, so he did not punish these soldiers too much, so he took out the leading soldiers and killed them as scapegoats.

Xu Shu couldn't accept this result. But now he knew Liu Bei's difficulties and could only choose to rectify military discipline in the future.

Liu Bei found that Xu Shu was still depressed by the previous incident, and said to him in shame: "Military advisor, it's all Liu Bei's fault for being incompetent in governing the army."

As a lord, it is very rare to be able to express shame to his military advisor like this. Xu Shu smiled and said, "It's nothing, but this is normal. I won't care. Please don't blame yourself."

When Liu Bei heard Xu Shu say this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Xu Shu would be affected by this. Nowadays, wise men don’t worry that no one cares about him. If Xu Shu leaves angrily because of this matter, Liu Bei will suffer a great loss.

"Military advisor, what should we do next? Sun Ce is already seriously injured, and the Jiangdong army will inevitably be in turmoil. Should we take this opportunity to attack Jiangxia City?" Liu Bei hurriedly started the topic.

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Although Sun Ce was seriously injured, his civil servants and military generals did not suffer much loss. Jiang Xia is not something we can do at the moment. And even if we conquered Jiang Xia, we would only help Liu Jingsheng to regain the lost land, which would not be of any benefit to the lord. The lord should write a letter to Liu Jingsheng, indicating that he had suffered heavy losses after the war and needed to return to Xinye to garrison."

Liu Bei nodded desperately. His little force was definitely at a disadvantage to fight Jiang Xia. Moreover, Liu Biao would not hand Jiang Xia over to him, so it would be better to take this opportunity to return to Xinye.

Liu Bei sent an envoy to send letters and war reports to Xiangyang, and then led the troops and harvest back to Xinye. As for whether Liu Biao agreed or not, it was nothing to do with him.

When the news reached Xiangyang, the whole of Xiangyang was shocked by Liu Bei's record inside and outside.

Because Cai Mao's battle report was also rewarded with Liu Bei. Cai Mao led tens of thousands of naval troops, but was defeated by Sun Ce's subordinates Gan Ning and Ding Feng. If the number of Jiangdong Army and warships were not smaller than that of Jingzhou, the Jingzhou Navy would have some combat power, otherwise the entire army would have been wiped out.

Liu Bei defeated Sun Ce with 5,000 troops and seriously injured Sun Ce. Cai Mao took absolute troops to attack Sun Ce, but was defeated by Sun Ce's subordinates, including the previous rebel generals. More importantly, Liu Bei was still a guest general, not a local person in Jingzhou.

Such a big comparison made Jingzhou Governor Liu Biao look dull and Jingzhou civil and military officials feel ashamed.

Liu Bei said that he had suffered heavy losses after a war and needed to return to Xinye. Liu Biao did not agree. If he objected, he would no longer have to be the governor of Jingzhou, and his generals and soldiers would look down on him.

However, Liu Bei made such a great contribution without rewarding it. However, when Liu Biao thought of Liu Bei's influence expanding, he felt very uncomfortable. After many considerations, Liu Biao felt that he should not be too stingy in life. What should he give to Liu Bei?

So Liu Biao asked someone to promote in Jingzhou that Sun Ce had been severely attacked by General Xinye, and defeating Sun Ce was just around the corner. As for who was General Xinye, Liu Biao did not explain, and at the same time, the heavy news of Cai Mao's failure was not mentioned. The people were already used to Sun Ce's invasion. Jiangdong would invade Jingzhou every once in a while. If they were defeated this time, they didn't care.

Liu Biao also sent an envoy to Xinye with condolences. This time, Liu Biao was rare to be generous and rewarded Liu Bei with a large sum of money and grain.

It is rare that Liu Biao is so generous, and Liu Bei accepted these gifts and rewards very unceremoniously.

"Empress, please tell Brother Jingsheng that Liu Bei is very grateful for his condolences. At the same time, he reassured Brother Jingsheng that Liu Bei will definitely turn Xinye into an iron barrel and guard the important portal of Jingzhou." Liu Bei said excitedly to the envoy.

"Don't worry, General, I will definitely bring it to the governor." The envoy thought to himself that the governor would like to die.

"There is another thing. Liu Bei suffered heavy losses in his troops due to the last battle. Brother Jing Sheng transferred the three thousand troops to Xinye and continue to work for Jingzhou." Liu Bei continued.

"I can't make the decision." The messenger didn't expect that Liu Bei had a really big appetite and swallowed all three thousand soldiers into his stomach.

"Liu Bei knew that it was difficult to do an envoy, so please tell Brother Jingsheng." All Liu Bei wanted was an explanation, and it didn't matter whether Liu Biao agreed or not.

Liu Bei said so, and the messenger could only do it. He was just a small shrimp. Let the people above decide for the final decision.

The envoy returned to Xiangyang and passed Liu Bei's original words back to Liu Biao. Liu Biao had no objection and agreed directly. It was beyond everyone's expectations.

As time went by, the news that Liu Bei defeated Sun Ce with less and more reached the ears of all the princes.

Cao Cao knew Liu Bei very well. With Liu Bei's strength and ability, it was impossible to do this, so there must be a master to help him. So Cao Cao immediately ordered his "Black Ice Platform" to investigate whether there were any masters around Liu Bei.

Liu Yu also received news from Liu Bei from the "Secret Ministry". When he saw Liu Bei defeating the more with less, Liu Yu screamed in his heart. Liu Bei must have found a military advisor. If he got Zhuge Liang, the world in the future would be full of variables.

Liu Yu ordered Li Gui and the "Secret Ministry" to investigate whether there were many military advisors or counselors around Liu Bei, and the other party's identity and name must be found clearly.

Seeing that Liu Yu was so anxious, Li Gui didn't dare to neglect him, so he immediately sent elite spies from the "Secrets" to inquire.

Finally, both the "Secret Team" and the "Black Ice Platform" found out that there was really a military advisor around Liu Bei, a wise man named Xu Shu. Liu Bei's last victory was also arranged by this military advisor.

Xu Shu officially entered the sight of the major princes, and his reputation spread throughout the Han Dynasty.

Of course, there are also some people who are eager to kill Xu Shu, that is Sun Ce who was plotted by Xu Shu.

After Liu Yu knew that Liu Bei had obtained Xu Shu, he sighed in his heart that Liu Bei's luck was really not a prank, and he really got him a military advisor.

Xu Shu is very capable, and Liu Yu doesn't know where he is. Liu Yu remembers that Xu Shu was forced to leave Liu Bei because of his old mother's affairs, and finally he didn't say a word on Cao Cao's side and died of illness within a few years.

Liu Yu felt that Xu Shu was a pity. He recognized Liu Bei but would not surrender to others. He was a loyal minister.
