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

When the news of Lü Bu's battle was delivered to Cao Cao's desk, Cao Cao's face turned pale.

Liu Huangshu killed people and destroyed their hearts. He not only used only two thousand people to defeat Lu Bu's invincible Xianzhen Camp.

He also recruited Gao Shun, a general under his command.

"Uncle Liu is a genius. As soon as Lu Bu appeared in Luoyang, he was driven out by his uncle."

"Today, Yanzhou has Yuan Benchu ​​in the north, Liu Huangshu in the west and south, and the vast ocean in the east. Yanzhou has become a desolate place."

"With the Emperor's uncle here, it's simply a foolish dream for me to achieve something in this world."

Cao Cao felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and he even doubted whether it was right for him to take this path.

"My lord, don't be discouraged." Xi Zhicai's eyes were firm. He saw a trace of loneliness flashing in Cao Cao's eyes. "Since ancient times, those who have accomplished great things have all had perseverance. Since there is no chance in Luoyang, we can still take this place."

"Xuzhou?"

"That's right. Tao Gongzu is old and weak, and he is kind and honest. Xuzhou cannot be defended. As long as we take Xuzhou, we can go straight to Jiangdong. Jiangdong has rugged mountains and rivers and fertile fields. If we can take this place, there is no need to worry about not being able to accomplish great things."

Being kind, honest and sincere may be a good quality in prosperous times, but in this era, it means being a lamb to be slaughtered.

This is the characteristic of the times, and also the helplessness of this era.

Heroes emerge in troubled times. Heroes must have great ambitions and good plans to stand out in this era.

There was a hint of ecstasy in Cao Cao's eyes. Xi Zhicai's words were like the sun that cleared away the clouds, instantly making the sky clear.

"Zhicai, this plan is good, but Tao Gongzu has always been humble and has a good reputation. He has been very polite to us. If we want to attack Xuzhou, I'm afraid we have no reason to do so."

Xi Zhicai glanced at Cheng Yu who was standing next to him.

"My lord, don't worry about this. Just focus on preparing for war. It won't be long before Demou will give you a reason to send troops to Xuzhou. This reason will not only silence Tao Gongzu, but also shut up the people of the world."

Yuan Benchu ​​dominated the three states of Ji, Qing and Bing and was very powerful. He was no match for him at all.

Uncle Liu occupied Luoyang, Chang'an, and northern Yuzhou. He had the emperor by his side and held righteousness in his hands. It was impossible to contend with him.

Xuzhou, and only Xuzhou, can bring him new life.

Looking at the confident expression on Xi Zhicai's face, Cao Cao did not smile much.

"Demou, what exactly is your plan? Tell me what you are planning. Killing innocent people and taking human lives so lightly must never happen again."

"Now that we are living in a remote place, we must spread justice and win the hearts of the people. If someone finds something wrong with us and spreads it widely, it will be even more difficult for us." Cao Cao knew Cheng Yu's style and reminded him in time.

Cheng Yu came out and saluted, saying, "My lord, I have taken note of your words. I have planned this matter in my mind. It is in accordance with the will of heaven and the will of the people. It will put you on the moral high ground. Even if you occupy all of Xuzhou, no one will dare to say anything."

Cao Cao:......

……

……

After Lu Bu left, Luoyang City returned to peace.

During this period, Liu Yu treated Gao Shun with great courtesy.

A small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days.

High positions and generous salaries, and continuous rewards.

Gao Shun was very respectful in his manners, but Liu Yu could clearly feel that he was still thinking about Lu Bu in his heart.

Looking at Gao Shun, who was extremely loyal and righteous, Liu Yu felt helpless.

Could it be that Gao Shun is also like Guan Yu back then, the man I can never get?

This made Liu Yu instantly understand what Cao Cao felt back then.

What can you do if you love someone but cannot get him/her?

Not everything bothered Liu Yu. Good news came from Chang'an and Yuzhou one after another.

When Guan Yu was inspecting Chang'an, he discovered a talented general named Xu Huang, also known as Xu Gongming.

Guan Yu wrote very clearly in the report that he was originally a subordinate of Yang Feng. When Li Jue and Guo Si led their troops to cause chaos in Chang'an, Yang Feng died. Xu Huang stayed in Chang'an City and served as the Cavalry Commandant.

A few days ago, when Guan Yu was inspecting the military camp, he discovered that Xu Huang had extraordinary insight and good martial arts. He was very happy and immediately reported the matter to Liu Yu.

When this matter was reported, Zhang Ji trained another 20,000 elite soldiers.

These two pieces of news were very timely for Liu Yu.

Liu Yu immediately sent someone back with the message, asking Xu Huang to bring 20,000 elite troops to Luoyang.

Good news also came from Yuzhou. Since he left, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia had been attacking cities all the way and had conquered the entire Pei State. At this point, except for Runan County, all of Yuzhou belonged to Liu Yu.

But Liu Yu currently has no intention of concentrating his forces to attack Runan.

Instead, he turned his attention to another place, Hanoi County.

Henei County was not large in area and not very powerful. It was close to Luoyang. When Liu Yu welcomed the emperor back to Luoyang, Henei prefect Zhang Yang wrote a letter to express his willingness to obey his orders. Liu Yu even promoted him to a higher position and appeased him.

Unexpectedly, this time, when Lu Bu came out of Jizhou and attacked Luoyang, Henei County became the bridgehead for the attack on Luoyang.

This was unbearable for Liu Yu. After he had sorted out everything in Luoyang City, he issued an imperial edict to Zhang Yang, asking him to come to Luoyang as soon as possible to meet the emperor.

Liu Yu's idea was very simple. If he was willing to come and his attitude was sincere, Liu Yu could let him go and let him continue to stay in Hanoi. If he was unwilling to come, Liu Yu would have no choice but to send troops to capture him.

Henei Tai Zhangyang's face turned pale after receiving the imperial edict. Liu Yu's edict was fierce, even harsh. It only gave him three days to reach Luoyang City.

Zhang Yang is a strange person. He has almost no friends, but he values ​​Lu Bu, the best in the world.

When Lu Bu saw the letter, a look of apology appeared on his face.

"General Zhang, it is because of me that you are implicated. Judging from the current situation, I believe that Uncle Liu will not let it go. General Zhang should have made plans earlier."

"Marquis Wen should know that Uncle Liu is extremely wise and his army is strong. Even if I use the troops of Henei to defend, I will not be his opponent. After much thought, I think the only way is for me to go to Luoyang in person and apologize to Uncle Liu. I hope Uncle Liu will be magnanimous and forgive me."

For Zhang Yang, he had no better choice than to continue to rely on Liu Yu. Yuan Benchu ​​in the north was caught up in a war with Gongsun Bogui and was unable to take care of himself. Even if he really went to rely on him, he would not be able to take care of himself.

As for Cao Mengde in the east, he was trapped in the gap. It was still unclear whether he could survive, let alone go for refuge.

"Since General Zhang has made up his mind, I have a way to prevent Uncle Liu from blaming me."

"Wen Hou, please speak?"

"General Zhang, you only need to bring my head to Uncle Liu. He will be delighted and will not only not blame you, but will also promote you to a higher position."
