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

After talking about Liu Yu's three rebellions, Xu Shu seemed to be drinking casually, but he was actually observing Liu Yu's expression. When he saw that Liu Yu's face did not show any anger, but instead had a hint of joy, his impression of Liu Yu improved a bit.

It is said that Liu Huangshu is humble and kind to others. Today, I saw that he is indeed so. When I told him directly what he did wrong, he was not angry but even looked happy. This shows that he is broad-minded.

In this era, the flow of talent is similar to going to work in later generations. Not only does the monarch choose his ministers, but the ministers also choose their monarchs. Even if they have followed you for a while and feel that you are not good enough and do not have much future, they can directly change jobs without any guilt.

There are countless examples of this in this era.

Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Jia Xu were the top counselors of this era. They all changed jobs, but this did not prevent them from making achievements and becoming famous.

Of course, behavior like Lu Bu's, who killed his boss directly when changing jobs, would still be despised in this era. It's okay for you to leave, but you can't just smash the pot before leaving.

Zhang Fei also seized on this point of Lu Bu and attacked him with verbal attacks as soon as he saw Lu Bu.

Since I can't beat you, I'll spray you to death.

When Zhang Fei and Lu Bu fought, he never won in terms of fist fighting, but never lost in terms of verbal skills.

The term "three-surname slave" was originally coined by Zhang Fei, who promoted it and made it a household name.

Of course, Zhang Fei also had his moments of being defeated verbally. When Zhang Fei shouted to Ma Chao, "Do you know my Yanren Zhang Yide?" Ma Chao made a decisive move with just one sentence.

My family has been nobles for generations, so how could we know a common villager?

"What Yuanzhi said is like the morning bell and evening drum, which is thought-provoking. I am grateful for your advice." After saying that, Liu Yu stood up and bowed respectfully to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu put down his wine glass, returned the greeting and said modestly: "I spoke nonsense after drinking, I hope the uncle doesn't blame me."

"Yuanzhi is a great talent. May I ask Yuanzhi, there are three difficulties in Luoyang City. I wonder what they are?"

Xu Shu drank a glass of wine and said slowly: "The first difficulty is that the land is barren and the population is sparse."

"The second difficulty is the lack of supplies and the need to rebuild everything."

"The third difficulty is that the rivers are crisscrossed and difficult to defend."

"Luoyang City has these three difficulties. If we want to develop, I'm afraid it will take more than a decade for us to see any improvement."

Xu Shu's words hit Liu Yu's heart. He had been worried about these things for a while.

After retrieving the food, he planned to quickly reclaim the land. Even though he had invented the curved plow, it was temporarily shelved due to the shortage of materials.

This incident also made Liu Yu understand that the storage of materials is not something that can be achieved overnight. No matter how anxious he is, he has to follow the law of development and proceed step by step.

Liu Yu believed that the crisscrossing rivers was not conducive to defense. Luoyang had been the country's political center for nearly two hundred years. During its heyday, resources from all over the country were continuously transported to Luoyang City.

In Liu Yu's plan, one of the next tasks was to vigorously develop commerce. The prosperity of commerce was inseparable from convenient transportation. The crisscrossing rivers provided favorable support for his subsequent plan to expand across the country.

"Yuan Zhi is very insightful, which makes Liu Yu admire him very much. Yuan Zhi, would you be willing to follow me back to Luoyang to show your talents?"

Liu Yu once again tried to recruit Xu Shu.

Xu Shu was also hesitating in his heart whether to follow Liu Yu. Although Liu Yu's conditions were not as great as Yuan Shao's development potential, he had extraordinary conversation and treated people peacefully, which gave Xu Shu a lot of points.

However, Luoyang City still had many problems. Without sufficient financial support, it would be difficult to recover in a short period of time.

If a city takes more than ten years to restore its vitality, in Xu Shu's eyes, its strategic value is of little significance.

After all, these ten years are enough to change a lot of things. If Xu Shu's prediction is correct, ten years is enough for the world to change. By then, what is the point of defending an isolated city?

Whether Xu Shu practiced martial arts or studied literature, it was all for the purpose of realizing the value of his life.

The value he saw in Luoyang City was slim.

Deep down in his heart, he still wanted to go to Jizhou to see Yuan Shao.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the magnanimity and strength displayed by Yuan Shao during this period are enough to overwhelm everyone.

He has the background of three generations of officials, and Jizhou will fall into his hands sooner or later.

The people of Jizhou are tough and have produced many heroes since ancient times. In the past, Emperor Guangwu completed a magnificent transformation on this land, and eventually established his rule over the world and revived the Han Dynasty.

"Thank you for the invitation, uncle. I would like to go to Jizhou."

Seeing Xu Shu's firm words, Liu Yu knew that even if he was extremely reluctant, it would be difficult to change Xu Shu's ambition.

At this point, Liu Yu could only sigh inwardly.

Who can blame Yuan Shao for having such good luck?

Liu Yu was not ready to give up. He had been thinking about ways to keep Xu Shu.

The three of them drank a few more glasses of wine and began to change the topic, starting to talk about the general situation.

During this period of conversation, Liu Yu turned into the best supporting actor. He spoke at the right time every time and said few words, which not only pleased Xu Shu but also hit the nail on the head.

Before they knew it, the three of them had been chatting until dawn, when Liu Yu got up and left.

When Liu Yu returned to his residence, his eyelids began to droop.

He fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

After Liu Yu left, Shui Jing asked Xu Shu.

"Yuanzhi, the emperor's uncle is respectful and humble, and he is a rare wise leader. Yuanzhi, aren't you tempted?"

Xu Shu said slowly: "To be honest, sir, the emperor's uncle is indeed a wise leader, but if he is trapped in Luoyang for more than ten years, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to achieve anything."

Shui Jing sighed and stopped persuading her.

The next day, Xu Shu said goodbye to Shui Jing Liu Yu and was about to go to Jizhou.

Liu Yu took Chen Dao out to see him off, and the two walked for several miles. Liu Yu still had no intention of coming back.

Xu Shu was a little anxious.

The emperor's uncle kept holding his hand and kept telling him about the pain of separation, which made Xu Shu feel a little embarrassed.

The two walked for several more miles, but Liu Yu still had no intention of returning. Xu Shu said, "Uncle, it's windy today, let's say goodbye now."

Liu Yu held his hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Yuanzhi, we hit it off right away and had a great time talking. We're parting today and I don't know when we'll meet again. Let me walk you another ten miles."

"Uncle, it's already past noon and you've walked twenty miles. How could I be so worthy of your farewell? Uncle, please go back."

"Yuanzhi is a great man. I would be willing to escort you to Jizhou, let alone twenty miles."

"Uncle, I can't do that. This is really frustrating for me."

Liu Yu held Xu Shu's hand and still had no intention of letting go.

"Yuanzhi, there's no need to do this. Come on, let me walk you through another section."

Xu Shu had no choice but to let Liu Yu lead him forward.

Another ten miles passed.

"Thank you for seeing me off, uncle. It's getting late, please go back."

Liu Yu's eyes were filled with tears.

"After we say goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again Yuanzhi, let me walk you another ten miles."
