Liu Yu smiled faintly and said slowly: "Yuanlong, think about it, if everyone has the same idea as just now, this world will be like this. But if everyone is kind and righteous and abides by the rules, what kind of scene will the world be like?"

Chen Deng was also a smart man. As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, he already understood what Liu Yu meant.

"Uncle Emperor's words do make some sense, but the world is like this now. Even if we stick to it, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to achieve anything."

"Qu Yuan once said something that was exactly like this: Everyone else is drunk but I am sober; everyone else is turbid but I am clear. In order to maintain the belief in his heart, he did not hesitate to throw himself into the river and die to show his determination."

"Su Wu of the Han Dynasty spent many years in the desert, going through hardships, but he never changed his mind. When he returned to the Han Dynasty, the young hero was already gray-haired. The oath he made back then may never be fulfilled. But is all this perseverance meaningless?"

"What Yuanlong said just now is right. I am determined to revive the Han Dynasty, but what I want to revive is the Han Dynasty that conquers the world and sweeps away everything!"

"He is a man who has gone through many hardships and still remains loyal!"

"Whoever offends the mighty Han will be punished, no matter how far away they are!"

"He is the great man who holds the center of the country and is worshipped by all nations!"

Liu Yu's impassioned speech made Chen Deng stunned. He had beads of sweat on his forehead. He had never thought that Liu Huangshu had such lofty ambitions. Compared with him, he felt a little ashamed.

It took him a long while to come back to his senses.

"The emperor's uncle has great ambitions and great integrity. He is truly the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and the blessing of the people."

After saying this, he bowed again.

Liu Yu smiled faintly and changed the subject, "Yuanlong is a great talent of the time. It is a blessing for the country and the Han Dynasty that Tao Gongzu can get a talent like you!"

Chen Deng didn't expect Liu Yu to have such a high opinion of him. His face turned slightly red and his heart felt warm.

"Uncle, you are overpraising me."

"Yuanlong, there is no need to be so modest. I have heard of your talents for a long time. Since you followed Tao Gongzu, the people of Xuzhou have become rich and have a safe place to live. This is all due to you."

"You just contributed a little to this, and you really don't deserve such praise from the emperor's uncle."

Liu Yu laughed loudly, with a bit of carefreeness in his laughter.

"It's rare for Yuanlong to be so humble. I really admire him."

Liu Yu chatted casually with Chen Deng on the previous topic, but every word he said was intentional or unintentional praise for Chen Deng.

Everyone likes to hear good words, and Chen Deng is no exception.

What's more, these nice words came from the mouth of Liu Yu, the Emperor's uncle.

Chen Deng looked at the faint smile on Liu Yu's face, and his admiration for him grew stronger.

No matter what Liu Yu said, he was still sighing in his heart because of Liu Yu's refusal to go to Xuzhou.

Perhaps, as Liu Bei said just now, this is the path he pursues, a path that is unwilling to take advantage of others in times of misfortune and cares about the people.

He was already impressed by Liu Yu's demeanor, and secretly set his own ambition in his heart. Once there was a change in Xuzhou, he would still strongly recommend Liu Huangshu to lead Xuzhou.

Only with such a person leading Xuzhou can the people of Xuzhou live and work in peace and contentment, and the aristocratic families can be safe.

If Liu Bei could really revive the Han Dynasty, their positions would rise even higher.

These things were also discussed among the aristocratic families, although Uncle Liu's chances of reviving the Han Dynasty were not the highest.

But the matter has not been concluded yet, who can foresee the final outcome?

Liu Yu had been observing the expression on Chen Deng's face. Seeing the admiration flashing in his eyes, he realized that what he had just said was already deeply imprinted in Chen Deng's mind. If there had been any disturbance in Xuzhou earlier, he would have certainly advised Tao Gongzu to let him take charge of Xuzhou.

With Chen Deng here, Liu Yu's only worry disappeared.

He has been planning for Xuzhou for so long, and he knows the variables that exist in Xuzhou.

Yuan Shu.

Chen Deng's father Chen Gui and Yuan Shu were both from aristocratic families and had known each other since childhood. If the Chen family allowed Yuan Shu to take over Xuzhou, Liu Yu would not be surprised at all.

Judging from the intelligence he had received so far, Yuan Shu had already set his sights on Xuzhou. He began to frequently send his trusted men to persuade the Chen family, hoping that they would work for him.

For some unknown reason, the Chen family did not agree to Yuan Shu's recruitment.

Yuan Shu naturally would not give up, and he never stopped sending his confidants from Jiujiang.

In Liu Yu's plan, he must deal with this variable before leaving Xuzhou. Now that Chen Deng has been convinced by him, he no longer has any worries.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and then Chen Deng said goodbye and left.

Looking at Chen Deng's departing back, Liu Yu showed a smile on his face.

Xu Chu walked over and handed a piece of information to Liu Yu. After Liu Yu read the contents, his eyes turned cold.

"Zhongkang, go tell Zilong and Yide to quickly organize their troops and we will return to Yuzhou." Liu Yu said calmly with a sharp gaze.

Xu Chu took the order and went out to find Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.

When Xu Chu came to the two men, he informed them of Liu Yu's order.

The two were startled. It was obvious that something unexpected had happened in Yuzhou. Although they didn't know what had happened, they accelerated the pace of reorganizing the army.

……

……

Outside Xia Pi City, Tao Qian heard that Liu Yu was going to lead his troops away, and hurriedly led everyone to see him off.

Tao Qian's expression was one of reluctance, but in fact, there was a hint of joy deep in his heart.

Although Liu Yu had clearly stated that he would not accept Xuzhou, Tao Qian was still a little worried. Liu Yu had performed too well since he arrived in Xuzhou.

He was courteous to the wise and virtuous, and had unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. He was brave and resourceful, and with just a few words, he could make Cao Cao's 100,000-man army retreat obediently.

With so many outstanding abilities concentrated in one person, I wonder how many people will admire him?

If Liu Bei stayed in Xuzhou City, Tao Qian was really worried that one day the aristocratic families would abandon him and support Liu Bei as the lord of Xuzhou. At that time, not only would he lose his position as the lord of Xuzhou, but his family would also be implicated.

Now he doesn't have to worry anymore because Uncle Liu is leaving.

"Uncle, you have worked hard for the people of Xuzhou for several days and you haven't even had two days' rest yet. Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Is it because I didn't treat you well enough?"

"Gong Zu, you are joking. You know, I have just pacified Yuzhou. It is time to rectify government affairs and rebuild everything. If I delay here, it may be disadvantageous to Yuzhou."

"Since the emperor's uncle has government affairs to attend to, I can't try to persuade him to stay. I hope the emperor's uncle will have a safe and smooth journey and achieve great things."

"Thank you for your good wishes. In that case, I will take my leave." Liu Yu smiled faintly and mounted his horse.

"Farewell, uncle!"

Liu Yu laughed loudly, and his laughter was like a thunder, piercing the sky.

Amid laughter, ten thousand soldiers rushed towards Yuzhou in an orderly manner.
