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

When Liu Yu saw that Yingchuan County did not respond after receiving the imperial edict, he knew that this battle was inevitable.

This was his first battle after taking control of the court situation, and he could not afford to lose this battle.

If we fail, not only will everyone lose confidence, but more importantly, the dignity of the Han Dynasty will be wantonly trampled upon by the princes.

If you want to rule the Han Dynasty, you must be reborn in the flames. Teaching etiquette is useless, and negotiation and winning over are not advisable. The only possibility is to be reborn in the flames of war.

That being the case, let’s get started.

Liu Yu looked at the crowd of armored soldiers in front of him with a stern expression.

This time, he dispatched a total of 40,000 soldiers, 10,000 of whom were battle-hardened soldiers.

Liu Yu began to assign tasks.

Zhang Fei led 10,000 elite soldiers as the vanguard and attacked Yangdi, the capital of Yingchuan County.

Liu Yu ordered Zhao Yun and Ma Chao to lead 10,000 soldiers each and follow behind him as the central army.

Zhang Xiu led 10,000 soldiers and was responsible for transporting grain and fodder.

Liu Yu looked serious, without any smile on his face.

"Set off."

Following Liu Yu's order, the team began to move quickly and orderly.

After Zhang Fei received the order, he kept smiling. Finally, there was a battle to fight. He had not participated in any battles since the battle of Chang'an. This almost caused Zhang Fei, who was naturally warlike, to suffer internal injuries.

What Zhang Fei didn't understand was that the order given to him by Emperor Liu was to besiege Yangdi. Not only did he not need to attack the city, but he also had to leave loopholes in the defense.

What was this operation? Zhang Fei was a little confused, but he also vaguely knew that Liu Yu was plotting something.

According to Zhang Fei's idea, there was no need to go through so much trouble for just Yangdi. He could just lead his troops and attack directly. In less than half a day, he could capture the city.

Although he had doubts, he dared not disobey the military orders of Emperor Liu. He marched quickly all the way and arrived at the city of Yangdi with almost no obstacles.

After Liu Yu arrived in Yangdi, he began to make arrangements around him. After listening to Liu Yu's story, Guo Jia praised him repeatedly.

"Yingchuan County has a complex terrain and the defenders are scattered. If we attack everywhere, it will be a bit troublesome."

"Besiege a point and attack the reinforcements. Destroy the enemy's living forces to the maximum extent. This statement is very vivid. We surround Yangdi and deliberately leave loopholes. When the soldiers in other places in Yingchuan County get the news, they will definitely come to rescue Yingchuan County. We will wait for them to tire themselves out. I believe it won't take long before we can destroy them."

"By then, when Yuan Gonglu's power is no longer in Yingchuan County, it will be effortless for us to take over this place."

"With the Lord's plan, the soldiers of Yingchuan County can pose no threat to us at all." Guo Jia smiled, "I'm a little curious, who will Yuan Gonglu send to rescue Yingchuan?"

Ever since Liu Yu sent the transfer order to Yingchuan, and saw that Yingchuan County had no response and was still preparing for war, he already knew Yuan Shu's attitude. He was unwilling to surrender. Even though Liu Yu brought the reputation of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu ignored him and chose to confront him head-on.

This situation also shows that the prestige of the Han Dynasty has long lost any binding force in the minds of the Yuan family. Relying on the background of three officials in four generations and half of their students and officials being from the family, they have mentally prepared to replace the Han Dynasty.

This also explains why Yuan Shu was ecstatic after obtaining the imperial seal in history. He did not care at all whether the emperor of the Han Dynasty existed or not, and he could not wait to proclaim himself emperor.

As for who Yuan Shu would send to rescue Yingchuan, Liu Yu already had an answer in his mind.

Yuan Shu had many generals under his command, but only one of them was good at long-range lightning attacks.

"If I'm not mistaken, the person sent by Yuan Gonglu should be Sun Ce, Sun Bofu."

When Guo Jia heard the name, his face fell into contemplation. As far as he could remember, he seemed to have never heard of this person's name before.

"Who is this person? Has the lord heard of him?"

"Speaking of Sun Bofu, he has a great background." Liu Yu looked far away, "He is the son of General Sun Wentai. After General Wentai's death, he had no choice but to be under Yuan Gonglu's command."

"Since he is the son of General Wentai, he must be a hero."

After four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the class structure had already solidified into a stagnant state.

It has become a common perception in society that a hero's father will also have a hero's son.

When Guo Jia said this, Liu Yu wanted to refute, but found that he had no idea where to start.

Although Sun Bofu was young, he was indeed a hero, and even Liu Yu had to admit this.

Historically, he took the foundation left by Sun Wentai and pacified the Jiangdong counties in a very short period of time.

He recruited a large number of civil and military officials, who became the basis for the separatist regime of Eastern Wu.

It was precisely because of these that Sun Shiwan was able to stand firm in the chaotic times and finally achieve hegemony.

"This man's martial arts skills are not bad, so he should not be underestimated."

There was a hint of pride on Ma Chao's face.

"My lord, if Sun Bofu comes here, please let me fight him."

It was obvious that Ma Chao was somewhat dissatisfied when he heard Liu Yu praising Sun Ce.

During this period of time, he and Zhang Fei had already competed in martial arts. Zhang Fei's martial arts were vigorous and powerful. After the two competed several times, Ma Chao found that the gap between himself and Zhang Fei was quite obvious.

Uncle Liu was right. Zhang Yide’s martial arts were indeed superb. It would take some time for him to defeat him.

In that case, let's change our target.

Zhao Zilong was training his soldiers and was a little surprised to hear Ma Chao's request.

"Mengqi, if I remember correctly, it should be Yide who challenged you to a duel, right?"

An awkward smile appeared on Ma Chao's face.

"I tried it with Wing Debi, and I'm no match for him."

Zhao Yun had a faint smile on his face. It turned out that he had been frustrated by Yide, so he came here to find some confidence.

"How do you want to compete? Archery, horse riding, or martial arts, whatever you want."

No way, looking at Zhao Yun, who usually doesn't talk much, he is so heroic when he opens his mouth.

I picked these items randomly. Does this mean that he is confident that he is better than me in these aspects?

Zhang Fei stood aside, looking like he was enjoying the fun.

"Zilong, although Mengqi's martial arts are still a little behind you and me, he is still a first-rate general in this era. I can see that the emperor's uncle is quite optimistic about him. Don't be too ruthless later, otherwise it will make the emperor's uncle Liu look bad."

"Don't worry, Yide. Uncle Liu has already told me about the competition with Mengqi."

Ma Chao felt warm in his heart. It seemed that the lord still cared about me. He was afraid that I could not beat Zilong, so he specifically told him to show mercy.

Since this is the case, what is there to worry about? He was filled with endless fighting spirit.

Let's fight!

Zhao Yun continued to speak calmly: "My uncle told me that there is only one rule in this duel, and that is to beat the enemy to death as long as you can't kill him."

What the hell?

Ma Chao's rising fighting spirit was extinguished in an instant like a flame.

"Zilong is sure that the Lord has heard correctly."

"Yes."

"Are you sure that the Lord is not speaking sarcastically?"

"I'm sure."

"This……"
