After Xu Shu helped Liu Bei defeat Cao Jun, Cao Cao knew that Xu Shu was the key to Liu Bei's victory. In order to defeat Liu Bei, Cao Cao tricked Xu Shu's mother into Xudu, and wrote to Xu Shu in the name of Xu Shu's mother, asking Xu Shu to come to Xudu. Liu Bei didn't want to let Xu Shu go, but he couldn't bear to coerce Xu Shu with Xu Mu, so he agreed to let Xu Shu leave. When Liu Bei bid farewell to Xu Shu, a forest blocked Liu Bei's view. In order to see more of Xu Shu, Liu Bei ordered people to cut down forests. At this time, Xu Shu rode back again and recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei, saying that Zhuge Liang also had the ability to help Liu Bei create ideas, so there was a later story of "visiting the cottage". And when Xu Shu left, he told Liu Bei that in view of the hostile relationship between Cao and Liu, he would never provide any valuable tricks for Cao Cao, and the two-part allegorical saying "Xu Shu entered Cao-said nothing" came from this. Only after Xu's mother met Xu Shu did she know that Cao Cao had cheated her son. Xu's mother committed suicide in order to get Xu Shu out of Cao Cao completely.
Luo Guanzhong used a rafter-like pen to create many heroic images in a story.
First of all, Xu Shu, who can make Cao Cao hesitate to kidnap and blackmail, is definitely not an idle person. Moreover, Xu Shu was filial to his mother and resolutely gave up his career and ideal for her safety. Xu Shu's body shines with the brilliance of human nature. Xu Shu handled Liu Bei just right. Although he defected to Cao Cao, he stuck to his moral bottom line and didn't do anything harmful to the original unit and the original leader. At the same time, he also recommended his replacement, Zhuge Liang, to Liu Bei, which was extremely forbearing.
Secondly, although Liu Bei was eager for wisdom and devoted himself to reviving the Han Dynasty, he respected his subordinates' personal choices and truly put people first when Xu Shu's family had great changes.
The third is Xu's mother, who is willing to sacrifice her life for justice in order not to drag her son to do justice.
Moved, we can't help but ask, is this really the case?
Literary and artistic works originate from life and are higher than life. In fact, the real Xu Shu and Xu Mu in history are quite different from the glorious images in The Romance.
Reflection? Shu Shu? Zhuge Liang Biography records the process of Xu Shu's defection to Cao Cao: Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei and captured Xu Shu's mother. Xu Shu pointed to his heart and said to Liu Bei: I wanted to work with you for the inheritance of Wang Ba, but now we are in a mess because we are separated from our mother, and we have no mind to do other things. I'm leaving you. Xu Shu finished and went to see Cao Cao.
Xu Shu in cao cao, and did not slack off. At least he did a lot of work that should be done and finally became an official in the empire. Of course, there is no such thing as Xu's mother hanging herself.
So because Cao Cao arrested Xu Shu's mother, Xu Shu changed his family and gave up his life ideal?
Obviously not. First of all, Cao Cao didn't catch Xu's mother for the purpose of holding Xu Shu hostage, as the romance novel said. Cao Cao got Xu's mother by accident. Xinye is just a tiny place, and there is nothing dangerous to defend. It is easy for Cao Cao to destroy Liu Bei. To destroy Liu Bei's think tank, you don't have to arrest Xu Mu or depose Xu Shu to defeat Liu Bei. Secondly, in order to compete for the world, everyone was looking for talents everywhere. Cao Cao won't lose heart because he killed one of Liu Bei's mothers. On the contrary, Cao Cao should give preferential treatment to Xu's mother in order to gain more reputation of respecting the virtuous and loving the talented. When Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu and killed Chen Gong, he put Chen Gong's mother to death, and later chose someone else to marry Chen Gong's daughter.
Therefore, we say that Xu Shu's mother was captured by Cao Jun, which is not the real reason why Xu Shu defected to Cao Cao. If she was forced to come to Cao Ying just because her mother was caught, Xu Shu's enthusiasm in her future work would be hard to be mobilized, and she would not be promoted to the official position.
From the situation in Xu Shu at that time, combined with Xu Shu's behavior after he defected to Cao Cao, we can draw a conclusion that there is a certain relationship between Xu Shu's defection to Cao Cao and Xu Mu's arrest, but it is not an absolute relationship. The real reason why Xu Shu voted for Cao Cao was that Xu Shu himself didn't want to work in Liu Group.
What caused Xu Shu to jump ship? According to the analysis of the behavior characteristics, internal atmosphere and some future situations of Liu Bei Group, I think that Liu Bei's distrust of Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang's exclusion contributed to Xu Shu's behavior of abandoning Liu for Cao.
According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, it was not Zhuge Liang who assisted Liu Bei after Xu Shu defected to Cao Cao, but Xu Shu recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei from the beginning. Reflection? Shu Shu? The biography of Zhuge Liang records: "I was the first person in charge of a new field." When Xu Shu met the first master, he took care of the equipment first and said that the first master said,' Wolong Zhu Gekongming, would you like to meet the general?' "
When Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye, Xu Shu paid a visit to Liu Bei, who attached great importance to Xu Shu. Xu Shu told Liu Bei that Zhuge Liang was Wolong. Do you want to meet him?
Only in this way can we have the story of "three visits to the thatched cottage". Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang also worked under Liu Bei for a period of time.
As mentioned above, Liu Bei likes to appoint two military advisers in the staff team to achieve the purpose of checks and balances. Zhuge Liang has a strong desire for power. In order to achieve the goal of being under one person and above ten thousand people, in the later time, they killed Liu Feng and Peng K, drove out Meng Da, exiled Liao Li and deposed Li Yan. Almost all the people in Liu Group who have a little skill have been cleaned by him. It is said that Marshal Zhu De's evaluation of Zhuge Liang after reading the "Three Kingdoms" is also "intolerant".
Xu Shu probably admired Liu Huangshu's reputation, so he resolutely devoted himself to Li Shimin. As Xu Shu himself said, he was going to "play for Wang Ba" and recommended Zhuge Liang to play for Liu Bei.
However, in order to firmly control the management team, Liu Bei adopted the so-called "double-teacher system", and Zhuge Liang came from behind and was on an equal footing with Xu Shu, leaving Xu Shu in the throat. Moreover, judging from Zhuge Liang's consistent behavior characteristics, in order to monopolize power, he must raise himself and belittle Xu Shu in front of Liu Bei, which made Xu Shu disheartened. Cao Cao's acquisition of his mother strengthened Xu Shu's belief in going north, so Xu Shu abandoned Liu for Cao Cao.
So why did Wei Lue and Han Chunqiu record the friendship between Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang? There is a simple reason. Zhuge Liang was recommended to Liu Bei by Xu Shu, who didn't know the truth about Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang. Moreover, any job seeker generally won't tell his new boss that he has been squeezed out by his old unit, which not only makes him lose face, but also makes him look incompetent. So Xu Shu can only knock out his teeth and swallow them into his stomach, or avoid talking about his relationship with Zhuge Liang, or gnash his teeth and say that we are bosom friends, and finally call it mutual kindness.
But Zhuge Liang is not as kind as Xu Shu. Reflection? Shu Shu? According to Zhuge Liang Biography, Zhuge Liang once went out to Longyou for the Northern Expedition. When he heard Xu Shu's words, he said, "Shu Wei is not right! Why don't they use it? "
What does Zhuge Liang mean? Why can't Xu Shu and Shi Guangyuan be reused? Mainly because Wei has too many talents!
If Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu really have a good relationship, Zhuge Liang will definitely say that it is not that they are incompetent, but that the leaders do not need them.
