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

Lu Bu's words made the atmosphere on the field a little tense.

Zhang Yang knew in his heart that the reason why Lu Bu had such a big reaction was because of his decision to go to Luoyang.

"Marquis Wen is joking. Marquis Wen is a hero unparalleled in the world. I have always admired him. How could he do such an unjust thing? Uncle Liu also wrote clearly in the letter that if Marquis Wen is willing to surrender, he will definitely be given a high position and generous salary. If he is not willing, he can leave on his own."

Lu Bu sneered. He knew very well Liu Yu's sincerity, but he was still stuck in his own ideas and unable to extricate himself.

Now he had just been defeated by Liu Yu in Luoyang City, and he also lost Gao Shun. The anger in his heart had never been sorted out.

Outside Luoyang City, he quickly left with his army without even waiting for Liu Yu to finish his words of advice.

The moment he left, his heart was filled with loneliness, but he still firmly believed that he was still the invincible and unparalleled god of war.

To be fair, Zhang Yang treated me well and gave me support and, more importantly, respect when I was at my loneliest.

Although his strength is not as good as it used to be, Zhang Yang never neglected his courtesy.

You know, whether it is Yuan Gonglu or Yuan Benchu, they all regard themselves as a knife in their hands, a knife that can kill people and expand territory.

"Since General Zhang has made up his mind, I won't bother you any more."

"Marquis Wen, do you really not consider Uncle Liu's sincerity?"

"Although Liu Huangshu's words are sincere, in my heart, there is no difference between him and the Yuan brothers."

After saying this, Lu Bu bowed, turned around and left.

Looking at Lu Bu's departing figure, Zhang Yang stood there, stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

"Marquis Wen's courage is comparable to that of the former King of Chu, but now he has no place to stand and can only wander around. Isn't it sad?"

After expressing his feelings about Lu Bu, he did not dare to stay for a moment. He asked his servants to prepare the horses and galloped towards Luoyang.

If you want to admit your mistake, you must have the attitude to admit it. It is better to do it sooner rather than later.

Zhang Yang rode at full speed all the way without stopping, and arrived at Luoyang City in just half a day.

After seeing Liu Yu, he bowed down to the ground.

"Greetings, uncle. I was confused for a moment and allowed Lü Fengxian to lead his troops across Hanoi, causing Luoyang to suffer and the soldiers to die. This crime is unforgivable. Please punish me, uncle."

Liu Yu looked at the middle-aged general in front of him. From his appearance, he was not the burly warrior he had imagined. His face was fair and clean, and he looked more like a scholar.

"General Zhang, since you know that your crime is unforgivable, how do you want me to punish you?"

Zhang Yang was speechless for a moment and said that he was guilty. In most cases, it was a humble statement to put himself in a lower position so that Uncle Liu would give in.

But Uncle Liu didn't seem to notice it and instead climbed up the pole, which made Zhang Yang very confused.

Isn’t it said that Emperor Liu is benevolent and righteous, and a benevolent and righteous ruler?

Judging from the performance just now, it doesn’t seem like that.

"It all depends on the emperor's uncle's decision."

Liu Yu said calmly: "As a minister of the Han Dynasty, stationed in Henei, you did not think about protecting Luoyang and the emperor, but played both sides and actually let people cross Henei and come directly to Luoyang. To put it in a serious way, this crime is treason and the three clans should be exterminated."

Zhang Yang's face was pale at this time, and Liu Yu's words made him speechless.

What Liu Huangshu said was right. After the emperor entered Luoyang, although he wrote a letter to express his obedience, that was only on the surface.

Deep down, he, like other princes in the world, wanted to sit back and watch the outcome and seek the greatest benefits in troubled times.

Liu Huangshu's strength grew so fast that it far exceeded his imagination. In a very short period of time, he occupied most of Yuzhou.

Now he has defeated Lu Fengxian, the best in the world, and forced him to flee in panic. If he pretends to be ignorant of such terrifying combat power, he will probably be courting death.

He stood there for a while, speechless for a long time.

Liu Yu continued, "I don't blame you for wanting to gain more benefits in troubled times, but you must decide where Hanoi County will go in the future."

"Uncle, Hanoi County originally belonged to the Han Dynasty, so I will naturally follow the Han Dynasty. There is no doubt about this at all."

"General Zhang, there is no need to make a decision so soon. I am a reasonable person and I can give you time to think it over. If you are unwilling to join me, go back immediately and prepare for war. Within three days, I will send troops to pacify Hanoi."

Zhang Yang was completely confused. He had lived for so many years and had seen a lot, but this was the first time he had seen someone speak in such a reasonable way.

"Uncle, rest assured. After this incident, I have made up my mind. I am willing to swear here that I will be loyal to the Han Dynasty for the rest of my life. If I swear this, both humans and gods will be killed."

Zhang Yang spoke earnestly and with a firm gaze. He could not figure out what Liu Yu meant by that, and the only thing he could do now was to show his loyalty.

Liu Yu said calmly: "General Zhang, there is no need to do this. I never believe in killing both humans and gods."

"If Uncle Liu is still worried, I am willing to send my son to Luoyang."

Zhang Yang had no other choice at this point. Before entering Luoyang, he had secretly calculated his situation. He could neither advance nor retreat, and the best outcome was to maintain his current position.

If one can keep his position by sending away his family, it is already a blessing from his ancestors and a benevolent act from his uncle.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yu's next words shocked him.

"If I fail to restore the Han Dynasty and end up in complete defeat, it is understandable that General Zhang chooses his own future. But now that I can strengthen the army and enrich the people, and my soldiers are skilled and capable, General Zhang will naturally not leave. So whether General Zhang leaves or not is not up to General Zhang, but myself."

"As for sending hostages, there is no need for that. The Han Dynasty governs the world with filial piety. How could I do something that would destroy the family relationship?"

Liu Yu saw this matter very clearly. People who have achieved great things have always not been particular about trivial matters. If he really had ulterior motives, his son would not be able to stop him from moving forward. There are countless examples of this in this era.

Rather than making them tremble in fear and unwillingly serve him, Liu Yu might as well win their hearts openly. If he really cannot be used by him, he will lead his troops to get rid of him without hesitation.

Zhang Yang's eyes were filled with tears, and he was crying loudly with his nose and tears.

"I have long heard that the Emperor's uncle is kind and righteous. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Liu Yu felt somewhat helpless about the princes of this era.

Anyone who can stand out in this era is a smart person.

They interpret the saying with their actions: life is not easy and it all depends on acting.

What did I just say to move Zhang Yang so much?

I know it was because Liu Yu did not let his son come to Luoyang as a hostage. I don't know if it was because I saved his eight generations of ancestors.
