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

The shouting and killing did not last long before the curtain fell.

Ma Chao came back to report.

"My lord, three thousand soldiers who came to rescue Yang Di were killed, and more than seven thousand survived. No one escaped."

Liu Yu nodded, not at all surprised by such a result.

"These soldiers are too weak. They were defeated before I even started to exert any strength."

Ma Chao was a little disappointed and felt that the battle was too unpleasant.

Liu Yu signaled him to act according to the plan, and Ma Chao hurriedly took the order and left.

He had just left when the scout came to report.

"My lord, a group of soldiers were spotted about ten miles away, and they are rapidly approaching here."

"What a great guy, Sun Bofu, he came so quickly!"

He is worthy of being called the Lightning General on the battlefield. His ability to launch rapid attacks is truly hard to guard against.

As soon as the soldiers of Yingchuan County were pacified, he appeared in his sight with his soldiers.

In ancient wars, speed meant everything. Huo Qubing became famous because of his invincible speed.

However, Liu Yu was not panicked. He had prepared everything in advance and was just waiting for Sun Ce to come.

"Zilong, let's go."

On an official road not far from Yangdi, Sun Ce on his war horse was advancing forward at an incredibly fast speed like lightning.

He had a cold expression and a murderous look in his eyes, like a cheetah searching for prey in the jungle. As long as food appeared, he would jump high and bite the opponent's throat with his sharp teeth.

Ever since he heard the advice from Zu Mao and others that day, the image of Uncle Liu has always appeared in his mind.

He is about the same age as me, how could he be so powerful?

Sun Ce was a little unconvinced and thought that Zu Mao was exaggerating deliberately out of gratitude to Liu Yu for saving his life.

Whether it is true or not, we will know after today's battle.

Sun Ce was full of confidence. He glanced at the cavalry following behind him and a smile appeared on his face.

These cavalrymen have followed him on the battlefield for many years, have been through hundreds of battles, are very powerful, and have few rivals.

Now the morale is high and the killing intent is fierce.

This battle will definitely defeat Liu Yu. As long as he is willing to lead his troops to withdraw from Yingchuan, he can spare his life.

On the official road several miles away, a group of infantrymen, lightly equipped and with a small following, were also marching quickly.

Seeing Yang Di getting closer and closer, Sun Ce's blood boiled. He was about to spur his horse to catch up, but he found two riders standing on the official road in front of him.

The sunlight shines through the leaves onto the handsome faces of the two men, giving them a sense of majesty.

Yangdi was surrounded, and anyone who could be here was obviously an enemy, not a friend.

Sun Ce was about to charge forward with his cavalry without hesitation when a voice suddenly rang out.

"Is the general coming Sun Bofu?"

Sun Ce pulled the reins of the warhorse that was moving at high speed, and the horse's front hooves stood in the air, neighing.

"Who are you? How do you know this general?"

"I have long heard that General Wentai has a son who is very heroic and powerful. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed as famous as he is."

"Are you Uncle Liu?" When Sun Ce saw him directly say his father's name, he guessed his identity.

"Yes, I am Liu Yu." The smile on Liu Yu's face when he had the sign hanging on it made him look like a spring breeze.

"Since the emperor's uncle knows my name, he must also know the purpose of my visit?"

"That's right." Liu Yu answered confidently, "Yuan Gonglu saw that I led the siege of Yangdi and was afraid of losing Yingchuan County, so he asked you to lead the troops to rescue."

"Then please withdraw from Yingchuan, uncle. I promise that as long as you agree to withdraw, I will never send troops to pursue you."

"It has been said since ancient times that heroes emerge from youth. This saying is indeed true." Liu Yu said slowly, "It is not difficult to get me to withdraw from Yingchuan. All you need is Bo Fu to answer a few questions for me. If you can answer them, I will lead my troops to withdraw from Yingchuan immediately."

A hero emerges from youth? Why does this sound weird?

Aren't you a teenager yourself? Why do you feel like you are over 70?

As this thought came to his mind, Sun Ce subconsciously looked at Liu Yu again. He looked even younger than me, so why was he pretending to be so mature?

Although Liu Yu's words were a bit harsh, he was still reasonable.

I have never encountered such a good thing in my life, that I can withdraw my troops just by answering questions.

Uncle Liu was of noble status and had a close relationship with his father. Being able to solve the problem without resorting to violence was the best outcome for Sun Ce.

"Can you take what the emperor said seriously?"

"A gentleman's word is as good as a whip to a fast horse. There is no reason to regret it."

"In that case, please ask, uncle."

"Is Yingchuan part of the Han territory? Are the people of Yingchuan Han subjects? Whose favors did the Yuan family receive for its four generations of three dukes? Is he an official of the Han now?"

As soon as Liu Yu said these words, Sun Ce was stunned where he stood.

Uncle Liu is too cruel. Although these questions are simple, they are difficult for him to answer.

The Han Dynasty was in decline and chaos was already evident.

But after all, there was no change of dynasty, and many people in the world still had the Han Dynasty in their hearts. Even the most ambitious people did not dare to say publicly that Yingchuan was not the land of the Han Dynasty.

If Yingchuan is recognized as the land of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei will have the legitimate right to conquer it.

Not to mention the three dukes in the four generations of the Yuan family. They are Han officials who have received the emperor's favor for generations, which is why they have their current power.

Sun Ce's face turned slightly red, and he felt inexplicably depressed.

Uncle Liu is too knowledgeable. If I want to compete with him in intelligence, it is obviously like hitting a stone with an egg and I am overestimating my own abilities.

Liu Yu's questions were so powerful that not only did Sun Ce become speechless, but even the soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.

If the name is not right, then the words will not flow smoothly; if the words are not smooth, then things will not be accomplished.

At this time, Sun Ce had already vaguely understood Liu Yu's intention. He wanted to use this conversation to directly undermine the fighting spirit of his soldiers.

Sun Ce felt a little regretful. Although he was not sure whether what Zu Mao said about the other items was true, it was true that Liu Huangshu was very intelligent. No, to be precise, he was full of tricks.

With just a few words, he was able to destroy the morale of an entire army. Who else in the world could do this except Emperor Liu?

"I can't answer the uncle's question, but I have been in the army since I was young, and I know that military orders are hard to disobey."

“Even if it’s unclear what is right and what is wrong, do you still have to obey?”

Sun Ce didn't dare to respond. Although he was well-educated, he had no chance of winning if he competed with Uncle Liu.

"Since the emperor's uncle is determined not to withdraw from Yingchuan, we can only fight him."

Liu Yu smiled faintly.

"Bofu, when your father and I were fighting against Dong Zhuo at Hulao Pass, you were still young and didn't know the situation at that time. I don't blame you. But Yuan Gonglu should know. He even dared to send you. I have some doubts. Is he trying to use me to get rid of you?"

Sun Ce couldn't believe his ears. Although the tone was calm, the words were too proud.

I have met many people, including many proud people, but the only one who can express pride so vividly is Liu Bei.

"Since the Imperial Uncle is so confident, let's see who wins on the battlefield."

Liu Yu laughed loudly, and his voice penetrated the dense forest and slowly echoed in the forest.

As the laughter died down, countless soldiers appeared in the dense forest, with their bows and arrows strung, ready to shoot at Liu Yu's command.
