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

Chapter 284: Saving Xu, Caring for the Family

There was a trace of confusion in Cao Cao's eyes. Liu Yu's words had already caused the faith in his heart to begin to collapse.

After a long time, Cao Cao muttered to himself.

"Could Meng Zhuo really do such a thing?"

Looking at Cao Cao's distraught expression, Liu Yu was secretly happy in his heart, but his facial expression remained the same.

After learning that Cao Cao had sent troops to Xuzhou, Liu Yu's intelligence organization became extremely busy.

Judging from the information gathered so far, the three of them interact frequently, and their friendship far exceeds that of colleagues.

In Liu Yu's memory, the three of them united to oppose Cao Cao when Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou for the second time. Judging from the current movements of the three, it is very likely that this will happen earlier.

After coming to this world inexplicably, many things have changed, and Liu Yu is no longer surprised by this.

Looking at Cao Cao's expression, Liu Yu knew that his words had made him suspicious.

Cao Cao already had doubts in his heart, so Liu Yu decided to add a few more pieces of dry firewood on top of the flames so that they could quickly turn into a raging flame.

"Meng De, since Lü Fengxian arrived in Yanzhou, he has been very close to Meng Zhuo. The two of them often drink and talk together. I say that they are closer than brothers. Meng De, you won't object, right?"

Cao Cao naturally knew that Zhang Miao and Lu Bu were close, but he did not take it too seriously and simply thought that the two were of similar temperament.

After listening to Uncle Liu's analysis, Cao Cao's firm belief has completely collapsed. If it is true as Uncle Liu said, if several people join forces, Yanzhou will be in danger.

For a suspicious person like Cao Cao, once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will quickly grow into towering trees.

Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Cao, who was somewhat out of control, and reminded him softly, "My lord, these are all speculations by Uncle Liu. If something really happened in Yanzhou, Wen Ruo would definitely send a fast horse to deliver the news to you, my lord."

When Cao Cao heard this, he instantly came to his senses. He had just listened to Uncle Liu talking for a long time and was almost led into a ditch by him.

Xi Zhicai was right. If there was any news from Yanzhou, he would definitely be the first to receive it.

He figured out the key and quickly adjusted his mood.

"Uncle Liu has been talking for a long time, just to stop me from taking Xia Pi City. If it is something else, I will definitely withdraw my troops if Uncle Liu orders me to do so."

"Tao Gongzu and I have a feud over the murder of my father, and this feud is irreconcilable. I have no choice but to capture Xia Pi City and take Tao Qian's head to pay tribute to my father's soul."

"I have no grudge against my uncle. On the contrary, we hit it off right away and can be considered close friends. When I failed in my attempt to assassinate Dong, I fled east in a hurry. If it weren't for Uncle Liu's clever plan to save me, I would have died outside Luoyang City. I will always remember this kindness in my heart."

"If the Emperor's uncle is willing to withdraw his troops today, I will do my best to give him any orders in the future."

Regardless of whether what Cao Cao said was true or false, at least what he said just now was extremely sincere.

Cao Cao wanted to use himself as a bargaining chip to persuade Liu Yu.

In terms of wisdom, military strength, territory, potential, etc., Cao Cao was clearly superior to Tao Qian.

If Liu Yu wanted to revive the Han Dynasty, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort if he could get help from Cao Cao.

Liu Yu already had the answer in his mind and there was no hesitation on his face.

His first purpose when he came to Xuzhou was to save Xuzhou.

Only by saving Xuzhou can the people of Xuzhou be saved from suffering.

He originally wanted to avoid using violence and use the inferences from his own information to make Cao Cao withdraw his troops.

However, judging from the current results, this idea is difficult to achieve for the time being.

Since we can't persuade Cao Cao, there is only one way left.

"Since I have brought troops here, I will not let Meng De do whatever he wants."

There was a flash of disappointment in Cao Cao's eyes. Between Tao Qian and himself, Uncle Liu finally chose Tao Qian.

"As far as I know, Tao Qian and the emperor's uncle have no friendship. He ordered his soldiers to murder my father. He is unkind and unjust, just like a beast. Why would the emperor's uncle Liu help such a person who has lost his humanity?"

"Meng De, there are too many twists and turns in the story of how your father died, so I won't comment on it. But you should never, ever, kill the people of Xuzhou after you invaded Xuzhou."

"Even if we take a step back and say that Tao Gongzu is the enemy who killed your father. I don't care if you seek revenge on him, but who will be held responsible for the deaths of the people of Xuzhou?" Liu Yu's eyes were sharp and his tone was firm. "As long as I stay in this city, don't even think about breaking through it."

Liu Yu's words left Cao Cao speechless for a moment. No matter if it was to vent his anger, to intimidate others, or to save military rations, killing civilians was not a glorious thing for a prince who cared about the world.

At this point, things had reached a stalemate, and a hint of cunning flashed in Cao Ren's eyes.

He had seen the abilities of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun at Hulao Pass, and knew that no one in Cao's camp could defeat him in a one-on-one fight. However, if he led his soldiers to attack them, it would still be possible to capture them.

As long as we capture them and catch Uncle Liu, the attack on Xia Pi City will be much smoother.

He took two steps forward and looked at Cao Cao.

Cao Ren had followed Cao Cao for a long time, and the two of them had a mutual understanding. With just a glance, he understood what Cao Ren meant.

Cao Cao had already thought about this problem. Now, Uncle Liu was fifty steps away from him. This distance was neither long nor short, but it was obvious that it would be very difficult for him to send troops to attack him.

No matter how sudden the cavalry was, it was impossible for them to charge fifty steps without any warning.

The distance between them was enough for Liu Huangshu to spur his horse on. Don't forget, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were right behind him.

These two men are both powerful enough to defeat thousands of enemies. There is absolutely no possibility of breaking through their defense and capturing Emperor Liu.

Behind Liu Yu, there is a big man like an iron tower. He can guard Liu Huangshu so well. This man must have extraordinary martial arts.

Behind them, not far away, was Xia Pi City. They only needed to turn their horses around to easily reach the foot of Xia Pi City.

Cao Cao slowly shook his head, indicating that this strategy simply would not work.

If one wants to keep Emperor Liu, there is only one possibility, and that is to shoot him to death on the spot with thousands of arrows.

Apart from this method, Cao Cao really couldn't think of any other way.

But at this time, Cao Cao did not dare to shoot Liu Yu at all.

After Liu Yu conquered Yuzhou, he had become one of the most powerful forces of this era.

If Liu Yu really died here, his soldiers would surely move out in full force, and then Yanzhou would never have peace.

While Cao Cao was hesitating, a scout suddenly came from behind to report military intelligence.

Cao Cao took the information and took a look at it, and almost fainted.

Cao Cao suppressed the shock in his heart and handed the letter to Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai took the letter and read it, and was also shocked.
