During the Three Kingdoms period, some people said that Xu Shu left Liu Bei not because of his mother. What is the truth?

Xu Shu's departure from Liu Bei is the embodiment of good birds choosing wood to live in. At that time, Liu Bei's situation was very embarrassing and basically reached a crushing defeat. Xu Shu felt that staying here could not achieve his ambition and left. As for finding a mother, it is actually an excuse for Xu Shu.

At that time, Cao Cao's army went south, and Liu Biao had died. Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao behind Liu Bei's back. As a result, Liu Bei was in a panic and had to burn Xinye and flee with the soldiers and civilians.

At this time, Cao Cao's army had been killed, Liu Bei's wife committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, and Liu Bei's two daughters were abducted by Cao Cao's subordinate Cao Chun. Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei broke up with Liu Bei. In this case, Xu Shu's mother also disappeared in the crowd.

Xu Shuran told Liu Bei that he was going to find the whereabouts of his mother, and he didn't want to work here anymore. But Xu Shu went straight to the north, which was Cao Cao's territory. There is no clue that Xu Shu's mother has gone to the north. So in fact, Xu Shu has made plans for himself, and it is impossible to have a future with Liu Bei.

According to the current situation, only following Cao has a future. Because now Cao Cao has unified Dabei, and now he has occupied Jingzhou. You, Liu Bei, have only a few thousand troops, and they have already dispersed. Even a blind man knows who to choose as his master.

Therefore, it is understandable that Xu Shu betrayed Liu Bei at this time. But we can't say that Xu Shu must go to Cao Ying, which is unreasonable. Xu Shu lived and worked in peace and contentment beside Cao Cao, although he didn't make a name for himself. It's not as bad as we thought, so it's a reasonable choice for Xu Shu to leave Liu Bei.
