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

Yang Hong was silent for a moment, then slowly told them the results of his investigation over the past few days.

"A few days ago, a young man came to Sun Bofu's house. He was Bofu's good friend, named Zhou Yu, with the courtesy name Gongjin. The two of them talked day and night in the house. I suspect that these strategies came from this man."

"There is such a thing? How old is Zhou Gongjin? What is his background?"

"He is no more than 20 years old, and is from a noble family in Lujiang..."

Yang Hong recounted in detail the information he had discovered about Zhou Yu's family background.

"Bofu actually has such a talented person by his side. If I don't make more use of him, won't the world laugh at me for not knowing how to judge people? Someone, quickly summon Bofu and Gongjin to see me."

"My lord, there is no need to rush the matter of appointing Gongjin. I am just guessing about Zhou Gongjin's situation. If you want to reward him, it won't be too late to wait until I have investigated it thoroughly."

"In that case, then I'll follow your advice. You can check it yourself and tell me as soon as you have any news."

……

……

Since Liu Yu received Guo Jia's letter, he did not stop for a moment and finally entered Yuzhou on the third day.

Yuzhou has many plains with flat terrain. Liu Yu originally thought that his journey would be greatly increased after returning to Yuzhou. However, not long after he returned to Yuzhou, the team ahead stopped.

Refugees, countless refugees, stayed on the official road.

After hearing the report from the vanguard, Liu Yu rode to the front to check.

The refugees were skinny and had haggard eyes, and it was obvious that they had not eaten for several days.

When they saw Liu Yu's army, they were not afraid, but instead kept talking about food.

This was the first time Liu Yu had seen such a situation. In his impression, although the refugees had a natural desire for food, they did not dare to stand in front of the army.

The army of this era had lax discipline, and they burned, killed, and looted. If you appeared in front of them, not only would you not get any food, but you would also be made into military rations if you were not careful.

Liu Yu carefully checked the number of refugees and realized that the military rations he had brought with him were simply a drop in the bucket.

Since he had no ability to rescue, Liu Yu chose to stand by and watch.

If he took out some of the military rations at this time, there was a high possibility of large-scale killing among these people in order to survive.

In the moment of life and death, all morals and etiquette will be thrown out of the window.

To survive, to survive at all costs, is the only belief in the hearts of this group of people.

With this belief, they will take other people's lives lightly.

As long as there is a chance to survive, they will kill those around them without hesitation.

In troubled times, everyone is an animal in the woods, where the strong prey on the weak and are cruel and ruthless.

Liu Yu shook his head slowly, signaling that these people should be dispersed.

The soldiers began to take up their weapons and began to disperse the refugees on the official road.

Faced with the soldiers' expulsion, the refugees fled in all directions and the scene was in chaos.

While Liu Yu was stunned, dozens of young and strong men among the refugees suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Liu Yu.

Taking advantage of the refugees' cover, they quickly attacked the soldiers, drew out the daggers hidden on their bodies, and stabbed the soldiers.

Because the incident happened suddenly, more than a dozen soldiers fell to the ground in a blink of an eye.

They exchanged glances and began to kill Liu Yu quickly.

Seeing the young men rising up with short knives, rushing towards him fiercely, Liu Yu already understood their intentions.

Death warrior!

These refugees were pretending to be asking for food; the real reason was that they wanted to take advantage of the situation and take his head.

Looking at the murderous assassins, Liu Yu did not retreat, because in front of him, a man as strong as an iron tower stood in front of him.

Xu Chu held a long sword in his hand, which emitted bursts of cold light. His face was unusually calm, with no change at all.

Looking at the assassins rising into the air, Xu Chu's long sword drew an arc in the air.

A flash of blood appeared on Xu Chu's face, and the two men were broken into four and fell to the ground.

Xu Chu didn't stop at all. A shadow of a knife flashed by and someone fell to the ground.

The guards took advantage of this gap to react and quickly surrounded Liu Yu.

The soldiers all took up their weapons and charged out.

In a very short period of time, the assassination attempt on Liu Yu was quickly eliminated.

For them, they only had one chance to assassinate Liu Yu amidst thousands of troops.

When they made their first attack and were blocked by Xu Chu, their fate was already sealed.

Looking at the sudden situation, the person in the middle ran forward quickly.

When he arrived, the battle was already over, leaving only dozens of corpses lying there.

"Who wants to murder the emperor's uncle? Can you find out clearly?"

"I don't know. I was just in a whim and didn't leave anyone alive."

Zhang Fei wanted to complain about Xu Chu a few more times, but Liu Yu took over the conversation.

"They are all death warriors, so naturally they will not leave any survivors. In fact, you don't need to ask to know who sent these people."

"Yuan Gonglu?"

"Besides this person, Yide, can you think about whether there is anyone else who is afraid that we will return to Pingyu as soon as possible?"

"You are a good man, Yuan Gonglu. You are a hero. How could you do such a shameless thing? If I meet you next time, I will poke a few holes in you."

Liu Yu did not answer this question, but ordered people to treat the injured soldiers as soon as possible.

After the soldiers received simple treatment, Liu Yu continued to lead the army and quickly advanced towards Pingyu.

Judging from the news Guo Jia has brought in recent days, the situation in Runan and even Yuzhou is not optimistic.

As Yuan Shu's attacks became more fierce, the bandits in Yuzhou gave Guo Jia even more headaches.

They continued to burn, kill and loot in Yuzhou, causing the people of Yuzhou to live in misery and refugees to appear everywhere.

During this period, Gao Shun appeased the bandits, but a rebellion soon broke out.

Seeing this situation, the noble families in Yuzhou also began to make moves.

Yuzhou is in a precarious situation, like a tall tower that may collapse at any time.

Countless fragments flashed through his mind, and Liu Yu's eyes revealed a rare hint of murderous intent.

Although Guo Jia did not state it clearly in the intelligence, Liu Yu knew that behind all this was the passiveness and sabotage of the officials in Yuzhou.

If they are willing to cheer up and stabilize one side, it will not be a problem at all with the troops they have left behind in various places.

Since that assassination, the rest of the journey has been very smooth.

There are no large numbers of skinny refugees, and no fearless warriors with evil intentions.

After another three days, Liu Yu finally arrived at the city of Pingyu.

Looking at the closed gate of Pingyu, Liu Yu frowned slightly.

The situation might be worse than he expected.

Never mind, let’s go into the city and see Fengxiao first.

"Zhongkang, come and call for the city gate?"

Xu Chu took the order and walked forward a few steps. A rough voice sounded in the air.

"The emperor's uncle is back, come to the city gate quickly!"
