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

After Liu Yu entered Yingchuan County, he was not in a hurry to visit the powerful families, but asked Chen Dao to spread the news of his entry into Yingchuan.

He wanted to use this news to gauge the reaction of the aristocratic families and then plan the next course of action.

Liu Yu didn't know that his reputation had spread in Yingchuan as early as when he first entered Luoyang.

Yingchuan has a strong literary atmosphere, and there are more talented young men than in other counties. These young men have been studying poetry and books since childhood, and they have one thing in common, which is pride. After seeing several poems written by Liu Yu, although they were shocked by his talent, it also aroused the pride of these young men.

Cai Yong's comment at that time made the people of Yingchuan feel ashamed. All the talents in the world are shared by Liu Yu, who took eight buckets, Cai Yong got one bucket, and everyone else in the world got another bucket. According to this logic, the famous talents from aristocratic families in Yingchuan would have received even less.

At that time, Yingchuan elected representatives to go to the capital to compete with Liu Yu. Before the team set out, another piece of news came.

Liu Yu was not an ordinary child from a poor family, but a relative of the Han royal family and the uncle of the current emperor.

This made the people of Yingchuan very frustrated. Although they had the confidence to compete with Liu Yu, they did not have the courage to compete with the emperor's uncle.

Although he did not win the competition with Liu Yu, the attention to Liu Yu did not decrease at all. Later, when they heard that he had gone in and out seven times during the emperor's spring hunting and saved the emperor from danger, the people of Yingchuan gradually changed their views on Liu Yu.

The young Emperor Liu was not only a talented writer, but also a great martial artist. This made the young man, who was still a little bit unconvinced, gradually lose confidence.

Going in and out of the bandits seven times to rescue a nine-year-old emperor requires not only martial arts, but also wisdom, courage, and a series of other things.

What kind of horrible existence and freak is this person who can integrate all these into one body?

Everyone was still immersed in the story of Liu Yu single-handedly saving the emperor. Next, what Liu Yu did subverted the world's perception of talent. Liu Yu took the emperor's edict and called on the princes of the world to send troops to fight Dong.

Taking into account the age of the emperor's uncle, the talented scholars of Yingchuan had completely lost their temper. When they were the emperor's uncle's age, they could only read books and complain at home. However, Emperor Liu's uncle had already started his own cause to defeat Dong Zhuo.

From then on, the young noble families in Yingchuan no longer had any jealousy towards Liu Yu, but only admiration.

Compared to the enthusiasm of the young people, the elders in the family seem much more calm. They have experienced too many years, and the years have left wrinkles on their faces as well as experience.

They have long lost their enthusiasm and are now more calm.

They don't put so-called face first, interests are their main consideration.

When they heard the news that Liu Yu was coming to Yingchuan, the first thing they thought of was, what was Liu Yu doing in Yingchuan?

Combined with the news they received during this period of time, they quickly came to a conclusion.

He came to borrow food.

After the defeat of Dong Zhuo, all the princes returned to their own territories, but the young uncle had nowhere to go.

No place means no food.

Regarding Liu Yu's request to borrow grain, the Xun and Chen families, led by Yingchuan, quickly reached a consensus. As long as his request for grain and fodder was not too excessive, the two families were still very willing to use some grain and fodder to make friends with Emperor Liu.

Although they are not optimistic that the weak Liu Yu can become the final winner in the chaos, it still does not prevent them from investing in Liu Yu.

One of the important reasons why aristocratic families can remain standing in the ever-rolling waves is that they never put all their eggs in one basket.

Although Emperor Liu now has few soldiers and generals, who can guarantee that he will not become the final winner in the chaos?

Liu Yu was slightly startled when he saw the business card sent by Xun Yu. In his memory, since the beginning of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Xun Yu, who had the talent of the Xun family's king's assistant, had foreseen the danger. He led people to hide in the mountains and forests, not knowing whether it was because the mountains and forests were too harsh or because they felt that the mountains and forests were not safe. Xun Yu took his clan to Jizhou.

At this point in time, Xun Gun should be in Jizhou with Xun Yu. Since Xun Yu went to Jizhou the first time and hid in Yuan Shao's territory, Liu Yu could clearly judge that Xun Yu, or more accurately, this branch of the Xun family, was optimistic about Yuan Shao and believed that he could stand out in the late Han Dynasty.

Liu Yu was not at all surprised about this. Yuan Shao had constantly instigated He Jin to fight the eunuchs, not because he was narrow-minded, but because the Yuan family had launched an attack on the highest power of the Han court.

Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Huai was the second-in-command of the imperial court after He Jin, and Yuan Shao's cousin Yuan Shu was the General of the Tiger Guards, whose duty was to guard the imperial palace. Yuan Shao himself lurked beside He Jin and constantly fooled He the Butcher, killing the Ten Attendants was as easy as killing a pig.

Under the instigation of Yuan Shao, Butcher He drew his knife against the eunuchs in the same camp.

At this moment, Yuan Shao was excited, as what he had been looking forward to was finally coming.

With Yuan Shao's constant instigation, things did develop as he had envisioned. He Jin was killed by eunuchs, and Yuan Shao immediately led people to purge the eunuch group. A power vacuum appeared in the Han Dynasty. If nothing unexpected happened, it was a foregone conclusion that the Yuan family would control the power of the court.

But at this time, an accident happened. Dong Zhuo led his army into Luoyang. Relying on Li Ru's extraordinary wisdom, Dong Zhuo gained a firm foothold with only 3,000 Xiliang soldiers.

Yuan Shao, whose fruit was picked, was extremely angry, so he said those heart-wrenching words in front of Dong Zhuo.

Although Yuan Shao was unexpectedly defeated in the struggle and left the center of power, he was still favored by the aristocratic families. The reason was very simple. The Yuan family's profound foundation made it still invincible in this era.

However, later on, Yuan Shao's performance did not meet Xun Yu's expectations, so Xun Yu left Yuan Shao.

The appearance of Xun Gun made the events in Liu Yu's memory somewhat confused. Could it be that Xun Yu saw through Yuan Shao and returned to Yingchuan early?

When Xun Gun came in, he was all smiles and bowed quickly.

Liu Yu had a smile on his face as if he was wearing a sign. He greeted Xun Gun.

As usual, the two of them exchanged some business compliments.

Xun Gun praised Liu Yu for his profound knowledge and promising youth.

Liu Yu praised Xun Gun for his high moral character and good management skills.

After some probing, Liu Yu stated the purpose of his coming to Yingchuan.

Xun Gun was not surprised and still had a smile on his face. But when he heard the number Liu Yu said, Xun Gun's smile disappeared and he could fit two eggs in his mouth.
