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

Liu Yu lay on the couch and listened to Tao Qian's story.

Liu Yu nodded indifferently. He had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by the two of them. There was still some obvious tiredness on his face.

He thought something big had happened, but when he heard that Cao Cao led his soldiers to the city of Xia Pi, he waved his hand calmly.

"Gong Zu, don't worry. Since you have arranged for people to close the city gates, there is nothing to worry about. It is getting late, so go back to bed."

"Go to bed?" Tao Qian was still a little anxious. "Uncle, what if Cao's army attacks the city now?"

"Cao Mengde is good at using troops. He won't be so reckless. He will definitely send people to investigate the situation in Xia Pi City and the distribution of defensive forces. This operation will take at least one or two days."

Tao Qian was half-believing and half-doubting, but seeing Liu Yu's confident face, he said nothing more and left with Chen Deng.

Liu Yu stretched and glanced at Xu Chu who was standing not far away.

"Zhongkang, unless Cao Mengde leads his troops to attack here? Otherwise, don't let anyone disturb me again, even if the sky falls."

"only!"

Since entering Yuzhou, Liu Yu was either on the march or on the way to the march.

Yuzhou had just been pacified and he was preparing to rest for two days, but then news came from Xuzhou. He had no choice but to rush to Xuzhou and start another journey.

After all this journey, Liu Yu felt that all his energy had disappeared and his body felt hollowed out.

The continuous rushing around is too tiring. Not to mention riding a horse in ancient times, even in the previous life, driving back and forth all the time would be unbearable.

The next day, near noon, Liu Yu stretched and slowly opened his eyes.

After such a long rest, he felt instantly refreshed.

He touched his empty stomach and felt a little hungry.

He walked out slowly and saw that a long line had formed outside the door.

Xu Chu stood at the door like a wall, with sharp eyes, and no one dared to approach.

Ten steps away from Xu Chu, the crowd lined up in a long queue respectfully.

When everyone saw Liu Yu coming out, they all saluted.

There was a hint of surprise in Liu Yu's eyes. He just wanted to have breakfast. There was no need to be so grand.

Judging from the expressions on everyone’s faces, it’s obviously not the case!

"Everyone is so panicked, could it be that Cao's army has begun to attack the city?"

Tao Qian took a step forward and said hurriedly, "Uncle, although they haven't attacked the city yet, the siege machinery has been sorted out. It's obvious that they will attack the city soon."

"I didn't expect Cao Mengde to act so quickly. Well, Zhongkang, prepare the horse for me so I can go out of the city to meet him."

Liu Yu was dressed in silver-white armor, looking very heroic. He mounted his warhorse, looked at Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei behind him, and said, "Open the city gate."

Tao Qian stood in front of the city gate and shook his head firmly, saying, "Uncle, this is absolutely impossible. Cao Mengde has a strange personality and is cruel and bloodthirsty. It is too dangerous for you to take a few people out of the city. Let me gather the best soldiers in the city and go out with you."

Liu Yu glanced at the three generals behind him and felt that it was okay. With these three people guarding him, no matter who came to the city of Xia Pi, he would be able to escape safely.

"Don't worry, Gong Zu. I told you before that I came to Xuzhou to reason with Cao Cao. I believe Cao Mengde is also a reasonable person. As long as I appeal to his emotions and reason, he will definitely withdraw from Xuzhou."

Liu Yu appeared calm on the surface, but he had actually already made up his mind. With Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu to protect him, even if Cao Mengde wanted to keep him, it would be impossible.

Don't forget that behind him is Xia Pi City, where there are tens of thousands of soldiers. Naturally, they will not watch themselves fall into danger.

"But..." Tao Qian was a little anxious, "Cao Mengde is treacherous, the emperor's uncle must be on guard."

At this time, Tao Qian had forgotten whether Liu Yu could convince Cao Cao, but was somewhat worried about Liu Yu's safety.

If Liu Yu was killed by Cao Cao during the process of rescuing Xuzhou, not only would Xuzhou be lost, but his entire family would probably have to be buried with Liu Yu.

"Uncle, you are responsible for the Han Dynasty. How can you take risks alone? If you insist on doing so, please step over my head."

Tao Qian’s speech made Liu Yu feel a little confused. What was all this?

No one knew what Tao Gongzu was thinking about, but he suddenly changed from a famous scholar of idle talk to a loyal and resolute minister.

Liu Yu smiled slightly, a smile full of confidence and indifference.

"Don't worry, Grand Master Gong. I have my own plan for this matter. Although Cao Mengde is treacherous, he doesn't dare to harm me openly. Besides, I saved his life in Luoyang City."

Tao Qian didn't expect that the two of them had such a deep connection, and he felt relieved.

……

……

In front of the mighty army formation, Cao Cao rode on his war horse, looking at Xia Pi City with murderous eyes.

The war horses behind him neighed, as if they were just waiting for the order to flatten the city.

Cao Ren's eyes were sharp, with a hint of pride in them. From the moment they entered Xuzhou, they had been unstoppable all the way. The soldiers of Xuzhou were simply no match for them.

Now we have arrived at Xia Pi City, the seat of Xuzhou. This city is quite large, with tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in it.

According to the recent news sent by scouts, Uncle Liu is leading 10,000 troops to support Xia Pi City. Cao Ren is not worried at all about Uncle Liu's arrival, as the morale of the Yanzhou troops is high.

Most of the soldiers were veterans who had fought in many battles and had amazing combat power. With only 10,000 soldiers of Emperor Liu, they could not resist their own army of 100,000.

Compared with Cao Ren's optimism, there was clearly a hint of worry in Cao Cao's eyes. Ever since he met Liu Yu at the banquet hosted by Prime Minister Wang Yun, Cao Cao had complicated emotions towards this young man.

Appreciation, respect, vigilance, timidity...

Every step taken by Emperor Liu was appropriate and fitting, and it seemed that he could appear at the right time at every critical juncture.

What made Cao Cao even more worried was Uncle Liu's prediction of things.

When he was in Luoyang, in order to assassinate Dong, he did not hesitate to serve the thief and gain Dong Zhuo's trust. According to his plan, as long as he got the Seven-Star Knife that could cut through iron like mud, killing Dong Zhuo would be like killing a pig or dog.

When Emperor Liu heard about his plan, he calmly said that he would not succeed, and even made the key points of his failure clear.

This made Cao Cao very dissatisfied at the time. He could enter and leave Dong Zhuo's mansion without reporting and could go directly to the inner room. If he could not succeed under such good conditions, what great things could he accomplish?

But the fact is, just as Liu Bei had expected, his attempt to assassinate Dong failed as expected.

What Cao Cao did not expect was that Uncle Liu had been waiting for him on his escape route long ago, and he also expected that Lu Bu's army would soon catch up with him.

Cao Cao followed Uncle Liu to the grove with half belief and half doubt. Soon after, he heard the sound of Lu Bu's horse hooves behind him.

It can be said that if it weren't for Uncle Liu, he would have died under Lu Bu's Fang Tian Hua Ji long ago.
