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

After driving Yuan's army out of Yuzhou, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

After this battle, the aristocratic families in Yuzhou also saw another side of Liu Yu. They were all terrified, fearing that they would be targeted by Liu Yu if they were not careful.

Guo Jia returned to his old self, drinking and having fun all day, and remained drunk.

Liu Yu wanted to discuss some things with him several times, but couldn't find him.

This made Liu Yu feel helpless.

What made Liu Yu even more helpless was Gao Shun.

During this period, Gao Shun heard the news of Lu Bu's continuous defeat in Yanzhou, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

Liu Yu was keenly aware that the day when he would leave him was approaching.

Things turned out just as Liu Yu had expected. The next day, just after dawn, Gao Shun stood at the door asking for a meeting.

After letting Gao Shun into the hall and seeing his hesitant expression, Liu Yu already understood his purpose.

Needless to say, I will be the one to fulfill my promise.

"Bo Ping, there's no need to be so formal between you and me. If you have anything to say, just say it directly." Liu Yu secretly groaned in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be calm.

"Uncle Liu promised me that day that as long as I trained the Xianzhen Camp into elite soldiers, he would let me go back. I wonder if this still counts?"

Liu Yu sighed slightly and said slowly: "Bo Ping is a gentleman. How can he break his promise when he is with you? Even if I am reluctant to let you go, I will not force you to stay here."

"General Lu is currently in a fierce battle with Cao Mengde in Yanzhou. The outcome is still undecided, but Cao Mengde has a strong army and I am worried that General Lu will be defeated. I would like to leave here today and go north to Yanzhou to lend a helping hand to General Lu."

"I really admire Bo Ping's loyalty. Isn't it a bit too hasty for Bo Ping to leave today? Why don't we wait for him for a few days, and you and I can have a drink to send him off."

Liu Yu's words were so sincere and heartfelt that Gao Shun couldn't help but be moved.

Ever since he lost the bet with Lü Bu in Luoyang, Emperor Liu had treated him with great favor, giving him high positions and generous salaries, and rewards. He would hold a small banquet every three days and a large banquet every five days.

It would be impossible to say that Gao Shun had no ripples in his heart.

But his heart has already followed Lu Bu, and there has been no change from the beginning to now.

He had followed Lu Bu since a very early time, and over the years, he had become accustomed to this feeling. In a sense, Lu Bu had become an indispensable part of his life.

When Lu Bu attacked the enemy camp, he watched Lu Bu killing people in the enemy camp, but he habitually put up a shield for him silently behind him.

Although he knew that perhaps at certain moments, Lu Bu did not care about this barrier, he still enjoyed it.

This kind of emotion is very strange, and perhaps no one can understand it, but Gao Shun still enjoys it.

Lu Bu is the source of motivation in his heart, or more accurately, his belief.

His leaving Lu Bu meant that the faith in his heart was collapsing.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu, for your consideration. I am anxious right now. Even the best wine and food are tasteless. Uncle Liu, letting me leave now is the best way to send me off."

Liu Yu sighed slightly, looking at Gao Shun's words showing his eagerness to return home, and a trace of loneliness appeared on his face.

Although Liu Yu valued Gao Shun very much and tried every means to bring him under his command, he still failed.

Liu Yu understood that a forced melon is not sweet.

"In that case, forget about the farewell wine. Let me escort Bo Ping out of the city."

"Thank you, uncle."

Outside Pingyu City, Liu Yu held Gao Shun's hand and couldn't let go for a long time.

With tears in his eyes, he looked at Gao Shun and said, "Bo Ping, please show mercy. After we part today, I'm afraid we'll be your enemy if we meet again. If we meet on the battlefield someday, Bo Ping, you don't have to show mercy."

Gao Shun bowed and said, "My uncle has been very kind to me. If I have to meet him on the battlefield, I will not dare to use a sword or a gun against him."

Liu Yu had been talking for a long time, waiting for this sentence. In the near future, he and Lu Bu would inevitably have a battle. With Gao Shun's promise, it was like having an extra amulet on the battlefield.

If that's the case, then all my hard work during this period has finally paid off.

Liu Yu looked at the vast sky and earth in the distance and said slowly: "Bo Ping, let me give you a ride."

Gao Shun wanted to refuse, but seeing Liu Yu's eyes full of expectation, he was unwilling to refuse directly.

The group walked a few more miles, and Gao Shun bowed to Liu Yu and said, "Uncle, we are now ten miles away from Pingyu. Let's say goodbye now."

Seeing Gao Shun's eager expression, Liu Yu knew that sending him any further would only backfire.

"In that case, I will send it here. Zhongkang, please give the things to Boping."

Xu Chu responded, and then he came to Gao Shun with gold, silver and clothes.

"Bo Ping, these are all specially prepared by the Lord for you, please accept them."

Gao Shun looked at the heavy gold and silver, and a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes.

I didn't expect that Uncle Liu valued me so much. Even when I was sure I was leaving, he still kept giving me gold and silver.

He took the new robe in his hand, bowed to Liu Yu and said, "Thank you for your kindness, uncle. I accept this robe. Please go back, uncle. I'm leaving now."

After saying this, he jumped on his horse and galloped away into the distance.

Looking at Gao Shun's receding figure, Liu Yu stood there in a daze, not moving for a long time.

Failure, such a complete failure. I had spent so much effort to recruit Gao Shun, but in the end it was all in vain.

It hurts his self-esteem, it hurts his self-esteem too much. Ever since he became the emperor's uncle, he has been recruiting civil and military officials with his respectful attitude and humble words, and he has never failed like this.

No matter how difficult it is to recruit the other party, as long as you use the tactics of pulling the gloves to approach them, mindless flattery, and sleeping with them at their feet, this set of combined punches is guaranteed to make them surrender wholeheartedly.

But Gao Shun seemed immune to all this. No matter how hard he tried, he had no intention of surrendering.

Liu Yu suddenly understood Cao Cao's feelings when he saw Guan Yu off in history.

A line of lyrics suddenly popped into his mind, which perfectly fit his mood at the moment.

What can you do about life when you can’t get what you want?

Xu Chu looked at the motionless Liu Yu, his eyes full of admiration.

My lord is loyal and righteous. Gao Shun has been gone for a long time, but he has not moved at all. It is really admirable.

My lord values ​​talents so much, which is truly a rare trait among wise leaders in the world.

Faced with such a lord, Gao Shun didn't even know how to cherish him and had to go find Lu Bu?

Xu Chu couldn't understand it. If Liu Yu and Lu Bu were compared, Lu Bu would lag behind Liu Bei in all other aspects except for his superior martial arts.

If Gao Shun had followed Uncle Liu, he would have achieved great success.
