Why did Xu Shu leave Liu Bei? What is the truth behind it?

Xu Shu left Liu Bei because of Cao Cao. At that time, Liu Bei was in urgent need of talents at the beginning of his business, and Xu Shu appeared. Some words of Xu Shu were recognized by Liu Bei. He advised Liu Bei and accumulated 1 bucket of gold in his life. This time, Cao Cao found Xu Shu, and Xu Shu had one advantage, that is, he was very concerned about talents, so he wanted to pull Xu Shu, a talent in Liu Bei's army, into his own camp to advise him.

But the ancient literati, as we all know, attached great importance to the concept of loyalty. In the face of Cao Cao's kind invitation, Xu Shu refused directly without thinking. But what Xu Shu didn't expect was that Cao Cao didn't let go. Cao Cao has a famous saying: I would rather lose this world than the world lose me. In the face of Xu Shu's refusal, Cao Cao didn't let go. After probing, Cao Cao found that Xu Shu had another mother, so Cao Cao sent his men to forcibly invite Xu Shu's mother to Cao Cao's camp. At this time, Xu Shu got the news that he found his mother captured by Cao Cao.

In this case, Xu Shu had to leave Liu Bei. Because filial piety was emphasized at that time, the most crucial point was that the official selection system adopted by the Han Dynasty was to raise filial piety. From the name of this official selection system, we can guess that this official selection system values your reputation. If Xu Shu at that time ignored his mother's safety, then Xu Shu would be finished.

Fame was a very important thing at that time. This is a person's capital and foothold. So in this case, Xu Shu had to leave Liu Bei. However, after Xu Shu arrived in Cao Cao, he didn't really give advice to Cao Cao, which led to a famous allusion, that is, being in Cao Cao's heart is in Han Dynasty. In fact, from such a process, we can find out what Cao Cao's character is. Cao Cao is a qualified leader, loving talents and decisive in means. I'd rather I'm useless than let you use it. It's a typical harm to others.
