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

Liu Yu understood how terrifying that person was. In terms of strategy, he was no less powerful than Xu Shu.

When it comes to experience, the young Xu Shu is obviously no match for him.

What’s even more terrifying is that his grasp of human hearts is terrifying in this era. Among all the people Liu Yu has ever met, no one can match him.

Liu Yu knew very well that he would not feel guilty for Dong Zhuo's death like Li Ru did. He would only hide in the dark, observe the situation in the world, and then make the most advantageous choice for himself.

Before giving Xu Shu the task, Liu Yu made it clear that if he couldn't convince him, it was very simple. Don't you have a long sword on your waist? Just pull out the long sword and put it on his neck, and he will come over obediently.

Liu Yu never doubted that Xu Shu had such ability. In this chaotic world, the Yellow Turbans, bandits, and the army were extremely dangerous. Xu Shu could roam the world with a long sword on his back. If he didn't have good martial arts, he would have become a dead skeleton on the roadside.

Although he was not as good as the famous generals of the time, he was definitely more than enough to deal with Jia Xu.

Liu Yu was very clear about Jia Xu's destructive power. Once he got out of his control, he didn't know what kind of storm he would cause.

Precisely because he knew how terrifying Jia Xu was, he sent the meticulous Xu Shu to deal with him. In front of Jia Xu, who was known for his cunning, any carelessness could lead to failure.

So this time, no matter what, he cannot escape.

Just as Liu Yu was thinking about whether to continue sending troops to support Xu Shu, the news of Xu Shu's return came.

When Liu Yu heard this, he felt like a rock had finally fallen to the ground.

Xu Shu walked into the hall and bowed to Liu Yu.

"My lord, I am glad to have fulfilled your trust. I have persuaded Wenhe to come back. He is waiting outside the hall now."

Liu Yu was a little hesitant.

"Yuanzhi, are you sure you asked him to come back?"

"Not entirely." Xu Shu smiled slightly, with a hint of embarrassment in his smile. He pointed to the long sword at his waist, "It also played a certain role."

Liu Yu laughed out loud.

Amid Liu Yu's laughter, Xu Shu recounted the events of the incident.

Xu Shu led an army and ambushed at the city gate. When the Xiliang army was defeated, Jia Xu escaped from Chang'an City without being noticed by anyone, blending in with the refugees.

By the time Xu Shu reacted, Jia Xu had already fled for several miles. Xu Shu reacted quickly, and he soon realized that something was wrong. He led his troops to chase him for dozens of miles before finally stopping Jia Xu in the crowd.

At first, Jia Xu refused to admit it, but when Xu Shu took out the lifelike portrait, he had to admit it.

Xu Shu was skeptical about his knowledge. Given his understanding of the situation in the world, Jia Wenhe's name was not well-known.

When people talk about the Xiliang Army and strategy, they always mention Li Ru first, and Liu Yu actually said that this man's plan was not inferior to Li Ru's.

How is this possible? Although he was not in the same camp as Li Ru, Xu Shu admired Li Ru's plan.

The plan that allowed a Xiliang general to take control of Luoyang and take control of the Han Dynasty in just a few years was enough to make every strategist ashamed.

Looking at the unremarkable Jia Xu, Xu Shu began to test him with a hint of contempt. However, he soon paid the price for his frivolity.

After just a few questions, Xu Shu discovered something wrong. He quickly put away his contempt and began to concentrate on debating with Jia Xu.

After several days of debate, Xu Shu was convinced. His lord was right. This man had extraordinary insight and could rival Li Ru.

Remembering Liu Yu's words, Xu Shu began to win over Jia Xu. He thought the process would go smoothly, but Jia Xu refused without any hesitation.

The reason he gave was simple: Liu Yu's power was too small at the moment, and with chaos approaching, he might not be able to make it to the end.

Xu Shu disagreed with the reasons given by Jia Xu. In response to this issue, the two of them had a debate on the general situation of the world. The result of the debate was just as Liu Yu expected, Xu Shu was defeated.

Xu Shu calmed down and remembered Liu Yu's instructions. He decisively drew out his sword. When the sword was placed on Jia Xu's neck, Jia Xu, who had been talking incessantly just now, instantly shut his mouth.

Under Xu Shu's coercion, or more precisely, intimidation, Jia Xu, who saw no hope of escaping, had no choice but to agree to come to Chang'an City to take a look before making a decision.

After inviting Jia Xu into the hall, he bowed to Liu Yu.

"I was confused for a moment and instigated Li Jue and others to attack Chang'an, causing unrest in Chang'an and suffering for the people. Now seeing the tragic situation in Chang'an, I regret it deeply. Please punish me, uncle."

If we talk about the culprit of the Chang'an Rebellion, Jia Xu would undoubtedly be among the top three.

If it weren't for his deception, Li Jue and others would probably have been afraid of punishment and dispersed and retreated back to Xiliang.

If these battle-hardened generals retreated to Xiliang, even if Li Ru could gather a lot of troops, it would be difficult to capture Chang'an City.

Don't forget that Lu Bu led his troops out of Chang'an to resist Li Ru. If it weren't for the assistance of Li Jue and other battle-hardened generals, Lu Bu would most likely have defeated the Xiliang Army.

Liu Yu didn't know whether the regret he said at this moment was true or false, but judging from Jia Xu's expression, it didn't seem like he was pretending.

This is also consistent with the historical records of Jia Xu. He first persuaded Li Jue and others to attack Chang'an, but after they captured the city of Chang'an, he saw countless people die, and he felt compassion again and again, and repeatedly persuaded Li Jue and others not to kill innocent people.

Liu Yu walked up with a smile on his face and held Jia Xu.

"Wenhe, since you feel guilty, are you willing to do something for the people of Chang'an?"

"I am not very knowledgeable and my abilities are limited. Even if I have the will, I have no more strength. I only ask the uncle to spare my life. Let me return to my hometown and live out the rest of my life."

Liu Yu smiled faintly at Jia Xu's lies. He would believe anyone who said they wanted to retire to the countryside, but he would never believe Jia Xu's intention to retire.

He tried to make excuses, but in the end, it was because he was not strong, had few soldiers and generals, and his land was barren, which caught Jia Xu's eye.

Liu Yu smiled faintly and did not expose him, continuing with what Jia Xu said.

"Wenhe, why are you so modest? Others may not know your talents, but I know them. If Dong Zhuo had listened to you and Wenyou, he would never have ended up in this situation."

Although Jia Xu did not offer much advice in Dong Zhuo's camp, whenever Li Ru had questions, he would always go to Jia Xu to discuss. Jia Xu could always find the key to the problem in a few words.

"Uncle, do you know where Li Wenyou is?"

Liu Yu did not expect that Jia Xu would ask this. It was obvious that their thoughts were not on the same line. He wanted Jia Xu to surrender, so he told him about Dong Zhuo, but Jia Xu thought of Li Ru at the first time.
