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

After Zhao Yun left, the noisy noises gradually calmed down.

Liu Yu felt a little tired and sat down on the city wall.

Leaning against the city wall, feeling the cool breeze coming from the bluestone slabs, Liu Yu's expression also relaxed a little.

The large-scale battle in Chang'an City had already ended. In addition to the Xiliang soldiers who were annihilated or captured, there were still some stubborn and recalcitrant elements roaming around.

Liu Yu naturally would not leave these dangerous elements in Chang'an City, so he sent Guan Yu with soldiers to search the city.

The search went smoothly. Seeing that there was no profit to be gained, the small group of Xiliang soldiers fled Chang'an City one after another under Liu Yu's strategy of surrounding three and leaving one behind.

When Guan Yu came back, his face was not full of joy of victory, but rather serious. He was very sad about the tragic situation in Chang'an.

After listening to Guan Yu's narration, Liu Yu knew that the overall situation in Chang'an City was settled.

Liu Yu transferred three people from Luoyang to Chang'an, taking almost all of his family assets with him. This battle caused Liu Yu to lose nearly half of his family assets. Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt a dull pain in his heart.

Fortunately, there were 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers surrendering from Xiliang this time. As long as they were gathered together, their strength would not only not be reduced, but would be greatly increased.

The training of the Xiliang soldiers was entrusted to Guan, Zhang, and Zhao. Liu Yu was very relieved because the three had successful experience in recruiting Xiliang soldiers before Hulao Pass.

This experience was passed on to several people by Liu Yu. To put it simply, it can be summed up in four words: both kindness and authority.

Judging from the results, the effect is not bad. If the super generals of the three eras show their skills in the army, they will definitely make all these people surrender.

There is no way. They are the ceiling of military power in this era, and ordinary soldiers are so powerful that everyone is terrified when they see them.

After everything was settled, Liu Yu went into the palace to meet Liu Xie.

Liu Xie's face was a little pale, and he obviously had not fully recovered from the shock he had just experienced.

When he saw Liu Yu coming, his expression relaxed a little.

The chaos in Chang'an this time added another layer of trauma to Liu Xie's young heart.

When Li Jue brought the Xiliang rebels, drew their shining swords, and waved them in front of Liu Xie, asking him to hand over Wang Yun, he forced himself to remain calm and showed no fear.

But he himself knew how helpless he felt at that moment.

Then, Wang Yun died tragically at the hands of Li Jue. When blood spurted out of Wang Yun's chest, Liu Xie was filled with despair.

At that time, how he wished that there was a strong shoulder for him to lean on.

A figure appeared in his mind, it was Uncle Liu.

He couldn't help but recall the spring hunt. The dangers he faced there were no less severe than today's.

But Liu Xie did not feel a bit of fear. On the contrary, he was very calm. He knew what kind of capabilities the uncle Liu standing next to him had.

"Uncle, the Han Dynasty is in decline and in turmoil. The task of reviving the prestige of the Han Dynasty is now in the hands of Uncle."

"I will certainly live up to your majesty's trust."

The two talked for a while before Liu Yu left the palace.

An imperial decree spread throughout the Han Dynasty.

His Majesty the Emperor appoints Liu Yu as Sikong and recorder of the Secretariat.

After some planning, Liu Yu finally became the actual helmsman of the Han court at this moment.

Although his status had been significantly improved, Liu Yu understood that he still faced considerable pressure.

Although the two cities of Chang'an and Luoyang have large territories, they were both destroyed by the Western Liang Army unsurprisingly. If they want to restore their former prosperity, they still have a long way to go.

During this period of time, Yuan Shao had already pacified the Black Mountain bandits in Jizhou and had completely secured his control of Jizhou.

He has already extended his hands to Qingzhou and Bingzhou, and it won't be long before these two states will be completely under his control.

Ever since Yuan Shao had been instigating He Jin to kill all the eunuchs, Liu Yu judged that Yuan Shao's goal was to take over the world.

In his eyes, the Han Dynasty was just a fig leaf. When he became extremely powerful, he would kick the Han Dynasty out at the first opportunity.

In addition to Yuan Shao, there was also his cousin Yuan Shu, who occupied Nanyang.

At the same time, he was keeping an eye on the sick tiger of the Han Dynasty while attacking everywhere.

Judging from their actions, in their eyes, the Han Dynasty is already in name only, and the most important thing now is to expand their territory and power so as to take the initiative in the future struggle.

Liu Yu naturally would not forget another person, that person is Cao Cao. Although he is not strong now, he is also constantly expanding his power. According to the latest intelligence obtained by Liu Yu, Xun Yu left Yuan Shao and defected to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was so happy that he praised Xun Yu, saying that he is my Zi Fang.

If Xun Yu's talent was compared to Zhang Liang, Liu Yu did not have much objection.

Judging from Xun Yu's later strategies, he really has some of Zhang Liang's brilliance.

But the word "I" was added in front. From this perspective, Cao Cao also compared himself to Emperor Gaozu. He also wanted to achieve something like Emperor Gaozu with the assistance of Zifang.

In addition to these three obvious threats, there is another thing that gives Liu Yu an even greater headache, and that is the aristocratic families.

Liu Yu sometimes always has a feeling that although all the powerful people are making a lot of noise, they seem to be in great glory.

But behind the scenes, the aristocratic families are the real trendsetters of this era.

Judging from the attitudes of these current trendsetters, they are not optimistic that they will stand out in this era.

The reason is very simple. Take Xun Yu for example. He once visited his father in person and handed over part of the business to him. On the one hand, he naturally wanted some money and food, but the deeper reason was that he wanted to bring the Xun family under his command.

Xun Gun was an old fox who had experienced many worldly affairs. Liu Yu did not believe him and he did not know his intentions.

Liu Yu originally thought that after the last contact, even if Xun Gun did not let Xun Yu immediately bet on his side, he should at least let him make an on-site inspection.

As long as Xun Yu was willing to come, Liu Yu was confident that he could keep Xun Yu by his side with his eloquence.

But Xun Yu never gave him this opportunity. After realizing that Yuan Shao had no potential, he directly joined Cao Cao's army.

This incident was neither big nor small, but it dealt a heavy blow to Liu Yu.

He realized that he was still weak in the eyes of the aristocratic families.

As for the attitude of the aristocratic families, Liu Yu would naturally not hang himself on a tree. Since the aristocratic families were unwilling to serve him, Liu Yu was also prepared to recruit talents from humble backgrounds like Cao Cao did in the past.

Using the poor to resist the wealthy was originally part of his future plan.

A big part of the reason why Liu Yu has not taken any action is that he does not want to break off relations with the aristocratic families too early.

Liu Yu understood too well the terrifying influence of the aristocratic families in this era. Without absolute strength, if he tried to provoke this beast, he would most likely end up with nothing left.

Now Liu Yu was forced to a crossroads and he had to make his own choice.

Liu Yu returned to his study, calmed himself down and began writing.
