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

"If the Han royal family could all stand up to protect the Han dynasty, the world would not have come to this."

The helplessness that flashed across Liu Yu's eyes seemed particularly real to Shui Jing.

He knew that what Liu Yu said was right. In this era, there were many Liu clan members who held military power. If they all took it as their responsibility to revive the Han Dynasty, they would be able to intimidate the various princes with evil intentions.

What a pity! Although they are quite powerful, they all have their own little plans, guarding their own little piece of land and being a local emperor.

Ever since Liu Yu took Xu Yuanzhi away in Yingchuan County, Mr. Shuijing has always kept his eyes on him.

Shui Jing had seen it all, from the time he entered Luoyang and Chang'an to the time he occupied three counties today. He was becoming more and more certain that the revival of the Han Dynasty would depend on this man.

He entered Luoyang, gathered refugees, established agricultural land, and collected one tenth of the tax.

He entered Chang'an, killed Dong Zhuo, established the system, and reorganized the government.

He pacified the three counties, defeated Yuan Shu, reorganized the army, and showed sympathy to the people.

All these things show that Emperor Liu's ambition is not limited to just one city or one corner.

He has silently carried the world on his shoulders. Although the road ahead is full of dangers and difficulties, there is still no fear on his young face.

Yuanzhi is fortunate to have found the right master. He will surely achieve great things and go down in history.

Shui Jing was thinking silently in his heart. Seeing a trace of regret in Liu Yu's eyes, he advised: "Uncle, since you have come to my humble room, please drink a glass of wine first. As for those trivial matters of government, you should think about them after returning to the office."

"I saw the decline of the Han Dynasty, the people were displaced and hungry, and I couldn't help but sigh. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

After saying that, he picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

Mr. Shuijing laughed and drank three glasses of wine before he slowly said, "The emperor's uncle is concerned about the country and has the people in his heart. This is what a real man does. How could I, a free-spirited person, laugh at the emperor's uncle?"

"However, now that the battle has come to this point, Uncle Liu just needs to be well prepared. The most important thing now is that Liu Jingsheng can cooperate with your actions. Even if he does not send troops to attack Nanyang, at least he must make a feint attack on Nanyang County. Only in this way can Uncle Liu's plan be implemented smoothly."

"Mr., you are absolutely right." Liu Yu's eyes showed a trace of worry. "This is exactly what I am worried about. Although I have been spreading rumors in Nanyang County, if Liu Jingsheng does not take any action, I am afraid that Yuan Gonglu will find out soon. If that happens, if I want to take Pei State again, I will have no choice but to attack it by force."

"What are the chances of success for the Emperor's uncle in attacking Pei State?"

"Fifty percent."

"Much more than that." Shui Jing waved her hand, a smile on her face. "Yuan Gonglu has many advisers, but few are top-notch. The same is true for his generals. Not to mention that although Yuan Gonglu has many soldiers, his military discipline is lax, while the emperor's uncle has few soldiers, but his military discipline is strict. These three points alone can make the emperor's uncle's chance of winning reach 70%."

A 70% winning rate is not low for others, but for Liu Yu, it is far from enough.

War is not a child's play, nor is it a child's game.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and if you fail, your life will be in danger at any time.

Other things are easy to deal with, but when something life-threatening happens, Liu Yu is extremely cautious, fearing even the slightest mistake.

Whether in his past life or this life, he has always had a simple value system in his heart.

Only when you are alive can you have hope.

The memories of his previous life remain in his heart. He fears death more than anyone else and understands the meaning of life better than anyone else.

A 70% winning rate may seem very high to others, but in Liu Yu's heart, he still feels that the winning rate is not high.

"Yuan Gonglu has many soldiers and horses. I dare not take it lightly."

Mr. Shuijing smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Emperor, you worry about defeat before you win. This is the style of a famous general."

"Liu Jingsheng is vigorously promoting Confucian classics in Jingzhou and is currently inviting famous scholars from all over the world to give lectures. I'm sure your uncle knows about this."

Liu Yu nodded. He had already known the news. If it were a prosperous era, establishing schools and promoting teaching would undoubtedly benefit the country and the people. However, in this era, it would be inappropriate to focus all his attention on this.

Troubled times are like sailing against the current; if you don’t move forward, you will move backward.

The world is like a huge whirlpool. Once you are caught in it, no one can stay out of it. If you want to stand in the whirlpool to the end, the only choice is to keep rising up and moving forward until you defeat all your opponents.

"To be honest, sir, this news is exactly what I'm worried about. I have people spread the news in Nanyang County, and Yuan Gonglu will naturally send people into Jingzhou to find out the situation. If they see that Liu Jingsheng is enjoying a peaceful and prosperous life, they will quickly see through my plan."

"Even if he doesn't believe it completely, he will transfer heavy troops to Pei State. It will be difficult to capture Pei State easily."

"Uncle, you are right." Mr. Shuijing nodded slowly. When Liu Yu said this, Shuijing understood what Liu Yu meant. "Uncle, I have a little reputation and have received an invitation from Liu Jingsheng. I am used to being an idle wanderer and had no intention of going forward. But after hearing what uncle said, I suddenly became interested. I will set off tomorrow to visit Jingzhou."

Liu Yu stood up and saluted hurriedly.

"Thank you for your continued efforts, sir. I thank you for this."

"This time, I am not going for the sake of my uncle, but for the people of Yuzhou. Only under the leadership of my uncle can the people of Yuzhou avoid the suffering of war."

"If the emperor's uncle gets Yuzhou, he must treat the people well like he does today. Can the emperor's uncle do this?"

"Don't worry, sir. I swear on the Ying River."

Shui Jing waved her hand and said, "Uncle, you don't need to swear an oath. Your promise is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold. You don't need to swear an oath to guarantee it."

"But I have to say this beforehand. When I arrive in Jingzhou, I will try my best to persuade Liu Jingsheng to attack Nanyang County. As for whether it will succeed, I cannot guarantee it."

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. I understand this principle."

"It's a good idea to do your best and leave the rest to fate. Just based on this sentence, it should be clear."

The two men picked up their glasses, drank a few glasses of wine, and the matter came to an end.

Liu Yu also knew that based on his understanding of Liu Biao, it might be unrealistic to ask him to attack Nanyang. Liu Yu had never really envisioned this plan. What he wanted was to let Liu Jingsheng tie down Yuan Shu's troops. Only in this way could his plan have a good chance of success.

Liu Yu put down his wine glass, thought of something, and slowly asked, "Sir, I like to make friends with famous people in the world. I want to ask you about a person. I wonder if you have heard of him?"

"Uncle, please speak."

"This man's surname is Zhuge, his given name is Liang, and his courtesy name is Kongming."
