Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Chapter 116 Don’t play by the rules

Behind Yuan Shao, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were dressed in armor, with a hint of coldness in their eyes.

Ji Ling stood behind Yuan Shu, one hand on the sword, staring at Liu Yu intently.

As soon as Liu Yu sat down, he heard Yuan Shu ask directly: "Uncle, I heard that your uncle got the imperial seal. I wonder if this is true?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the tent suddenly became silent and one could hear a pin drop.

Liu Bei thought to himself, just as Liu Yu expected, these people are really here for the imperial seal. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei.

The two men held their weapons in their hands, waiting for the order, and then stepped forward to subdue Yuan Shao.

He winked at a few people, and they immediately understood.

Zhao Yun's eyes suddenly tightened. He heard the sound of a bowstring being pulled fifty steps away. He took a step forward and stared at Yuan Shu, waiting for the situation to change so that he could control him.

Chen Dao stood behind Liu Yu. He held the long sword at his waist with his hand and glanced at everyone vigilantly like a cheetah.

Wang Yue looked indifferent and continued drinking, not seeming to feel anything unusual.

Faced with Yuan Shu's questioning, Liu Yu was not in a hurry. He picked up a glass of wine and drank it.

After finishing the drink, Liu Yu still felt unsatisfied and praised: "Good wine, good wine."

When Liu Yu was drinking, the atmosphere in the tent was so solemn and cold that it seemed as if it was about to be frozen.

Liu Yu put down his wine glass and said calmly, "The highway news is really well-informed. Yes, it is true."

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao originally thought that Liu Yu would not admit to the matter of the imperial seal. They had already laid an ambush and were going to take this opportunity to eliminate potential future rivals. However, Liu Yu did not play by the rules at all and confessed the matter directly.

"I wonder what your uncle is going to do with the imperial seal?" Yuan Shu continued to ask.

"It's very simple. As long as the emperor is still alive, the imperial seal must be returned to him."

As soon as Liu Yu said this, the other princes nodded one after another, thinking that this was the way it should be. Although the Han Dynasty was in decline, the emperor was still there, and returning the jade seal to the emperor was the right thing to do.

Yuan Shu had a different idea. He thought Liu Yu was using this excuse to fool everyone. After Dong Zhuo returned to Chang'an, he would definitely block the Hangu Pass. By then, it would be difficult for even a bird to fly over, let alone a person.

As time goes by, people will gradually forget about this matter. By then, who will know whether Liu Yu will send it off or not?

"After Dong Zhuo returns to Chang'an, he will certainly close Hangu Pass. I wonder when and how the emperor's uncle plans to send him back?"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Gong Lu asked a good question. Yu is also worried about this matter."

As soon as these words came out, a hint of sneer appeared on Yuan Shu's face. It was just as he thought. But what Liu Yu said next made the sneer on Yuan Shu's face freeze instantly.

"I wonder if Gonglu can find a solution. If so, I would like to ask Gonglu to return the imperial seal to Your Majesty."

After saying that, he asked Liu Bei for the imperial seal, walked to Yuan Shu, and placed it on Yuan Shu's desk. Then he sat back down, picked up a glass of wine, and drank it by himself.

No one present expected that Liu Yu would give the imperial seal to Yuan Shu so easily. Is this really the imperial seal? Why does it feel like a piece of stone that can be found everywhere in the hands of the emperor's uncle?

Looking at the imperial seal so close to him, Yuan Shu's hands trembled slightly.

Ever since they learned that Liu Yu had obtained the jade seal, he and Yuan Shao rushed over at full speed. Along the way, they discussed countless possible situations, but they never expected that Liu Yu would hand over the jade seal so easily.

From the moment the imperial seal fell on Yuan Shu's desk, the expressions on the faces of the princes changed.

Even Yuan Shao found his former brothers' faces somewhat hateful.

"Uncle, I think this is inappropriate. The emperor sent this seal to you so that you can use it to revive the Han Dynasty. How can you give it away so easily?"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he recounted what he had seen that day to everyone. In Cao Cao's narration, the eunuch's death and Liu Yu's refusal formed a sharp contrast.

Liu Yu was not interested in power and only wanted to get rid of Dong Zhuo, save the emperor, and support the Han Dynasty. His image was quickly established among the princes.

After finishing the story, Cao Cao still felt unsatisfied.

A very inspiring summary came out of his mouth.

"The emperor's uncle is devoted to supporting the Han Dynasty. His heart is as bright as the sun and the moon."

"In my opinion, it is safest to put the jade seal in the hands of the emperor's uncle." After Cao Cao's eloquent speech, Kong Rong was the first to express his support.

"What Wen Ju said makes sense." Tao Qian also expressed his support.

As soon as the two of them spoke, everyone responded. The situation suddenly took a big turn.

Yuan Shao remained silent. In his plan, Yuan Shu was the first to attack and Liu Yu would inevitably be exhausted from defending himself. However, with just a few words, he reversed the situation in an instant.

Yuan Shao was in a dilemma. He pondered for a moment and then said slowly, "Wen Ju is right. It is safest to leave the seal with the emperor's uncle. Gonglu, return the seal to the emperor's uncle as soon as possible."

Yuan Shu's face was gloomy. He was somewhat unwilling to return the imperial seal in front of him before he had even had time to look at it.

But no matter how unwilling he was, he did not dare to put the jade seal into his arms in front of all the princes.

He picked up the jade seal respectfully and put it back on Liu Yu's desk.

Yuan Shu sat back at the table and took another look at the imperial seal. He didn't want to stay any longer and said, "Alliance leader, now that Dong Zhuo has forced the emperor to go west to Chang'an, the great cause of defeating Dong Zhuo has been completed. If there is nothing important, I will return to Nanyang now."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone expressed their desire to return to their territory.

Yuan Shao had already had this idea when he saw that there was no hope of getting the seal, and he was just about to say a few polite words.

At this moment, Liu Yu spoke.

"Everyone, when Dong Zhuo left Luoyang, he left behind hundreds of thousands of people, young and old. Who is willing to take them back to their territory and resettle them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone shut up again. If Dong Zhuo had left the young and strong behind, everyone would still be somewhat interested. But what else could a hundred thousand old and young be done with if they were taken back to their territory except wasting food?

Seeing that no one said anything, Liu Yu understood what they meant.

"There are so many refugees in the world nowadays. Even if we want to manage them, we can't."

Although Yuan Shu's words were somewhat emotional, they were also the truth.

At this stage, the world lacks not people but food. If there is enough food, refugees from all over the world will flock to it. Even if you want to raise an army of one million, it is not impossible.

After Yuan Shu said that, he bowed to everyone and left with Ji Ling.

As Yuan Shu left, everyone paid their respects to Liu Yu.

After a while, all the princes left.

Seeing that no one was willing to take action, Liu Bei was filled with grief and indignation.

Liu Yu looked at the ruined Luoyang City in a daze.

"Uncle, uncle."

The sound came from far away and soon arrived in front of Liu Yu.
