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

When the news of Lu Bu's loss of Puyang reached Xiaopei, Liu Yu was organizing his army.

He was not at all surprised by this result. In his memory, after Cao Cao occupied Puyang, he completely grasped the advantage of Yanzhou. It would not be long before Yanzhou would return to Cao Cao's hands.

After taking over Yanzhou City, Cao Cao would once again turn his sword towards Xuzhou.

Only when Cao Cao is ready to draw his sword against Xuzhou, will all his plans be slowly realized.

Liu Yu originally thought that it would take some time to see this result, but a month later, changes occurred first in Xuzhou.

Chen Deng came to Xiaopei.

"Chen Deng pays respect to Uncle Liu."

Chen Deng looked at Liu Yu's figure and saluted hurriedly.

Liu Yu walked up quickly and held Chen Deng with his hand. He smiled and said, "Yuanlong, you and I hit it off right away. I have already considered you a friend. There is no need for us to stick to these empty formalities. Come, follow me in. Today, you and I will not leave until we are drunk."

Chen Deng was a little flattered. How could I have deserved to become Uncle Liu's friend?

Seeing Liu Yu holding his hand affectionately and walking into the yard, Chen Deng was deeply moved.

Uncle Liu is tolerant and generous, and does not care about trivial matters. He is truly a role model for our generation.

Liu Yu had his signature faint smile on his face. He held Chen Deng's hand with one hand and observed Chen Deng's expression.

Seeing the emotion in his eyes, Liu Yu's smile deepened.

Liu Yu has used the trick of holding hands many times in this era, and it has always worked.

As soon as the little hands were pulled, the emotional value of the two people soared instantly.

If combined with talking by candlelight at night and sleeping with feet together, the effect will be maximized.

After all, the identity of Liu Huangshu is a golden signboard. It is like in later generations, the executive president of a certain group company will hold your hand and chat with you when they meet, and the chat will last until late at night, and then let you sleep with him. No one will not be confused.

After Chen Deng was welcomed into the hall, Liu Yu ordered a banquet to be prepared and asked Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu to come and drink with him.

The banquet was served and several people sat down.

Liu Yu raised a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Yuanlong has come from afar and has worked very hard. Let us raise our glasses together and toast to Yuanlong."

Seeing the four of them raise their glasses at the same time, Chen Deng quickly raised his glass and said, "I am so grateful to the Emperor's uncle and the generals for such generosity. I don't deserve it."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Yuanlong is a great talent of the time, he should drink this cup."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing this, several people picked up their glasses and started drinking.

After everyone drank a few glasses of wine, Liu Yu looked at Chen Deng, who looked haggard, and asked with concern: "Yuanlong, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look haggard and worried. If you have any difficulties, please tell me. As long as I can help, I will do my best."

Chen Deng was overjoyed when he heard this. He stood up quickly and saluted, saying, "I came to Xiaopei this time because I have an important matter to attend to. I would like to ask for your help, Uncle Liu."

"Yuanlong, no need to be so polite, sit down and talk slowly. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

Chen Deng bowed again, sat down slowly, and said, "Uncle, Tao Gongzu is seriously ill and his life is hanging by a thread. I am here on Tao Gongzu's orders to invite you to Xuzhou to take charge of the situation."

Upon hearing the news, Liu Yu showed a hint of surprise on his face. In fact, from the moment he saw Chen Deng, he guessed that this must be the case, otherwise how could Chen Deng leave Xuzhou and travel thousands of miles to Xiaopei.

"When I left Xuzhou, Tao Gongzu was still in very good health. How come his condition deteriorated to this extent in such a short period of time?"

"I dare not lie to my uncle. After my uncle left, Tao Gongzu wanted to work hard to govern and rectify the military affairs in Xuzhou, but the progress was slow and there was not much change. Some time ago, he heard that Cao Cao had occupied most of Yanzhou. He was worried that Cao Cao would send troops to attack Xuzhou. He was exhausted and worried, so he fell ill."

Liu Yu understood what was happening in Xuzhou from Chen Deng's simple words.

The so-called slow progress does not mean much change. Ultimately, it is because the aristocratic families are interfering.

After Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, the aristocratic families had lost confidence in Tao Qian. In their opinion, Tao Qian was completely incapable of taking on the responsibility of Xuzhou and could not lead Xuzhou to resist Cao Cao's attack.

Therefore, they tacitly resisted Tao Qian's behavior. Without the support of the aristocratic families, Tao Qian's actions in Xuzhou would inevitably encounter many obstacles.

There is no way. Whether you admit it or not, the aristocratic families are the ones who dominate this era. If you want to achieve something in this era, it is impossible without their support.

"Tao Gongzu worked so hard for the people of Xuzhou. He is truly a role model for the Han Dynasty."

After Liu Yu praised Tao Qian, he kept drinking and did not mention anything about going to Xuzhou.

Chen Deng couldn't sit still any longer.

"Uncle, the situation in Xuzhou is extremely urgent and must not be delayed. Please go to Xuzhou as soon as possible and take charge of the overall situation in Xuzhou."

Liu Yu shook his head and said calmly: "Tao Gongzu worked so hard for Xuzhou and made Xuzhou prosperous. Now when he is seriously ill, if I take Xuzhou from him, I am afraid that I will be criticized by the world. This is absolutely not allowed."

Chen Deng did not expect Liu Yu to refuse outright. He bowed and advised, "Uncle, what you said is wrong. No matter how devoted Tao Gongzu was to Xuzhou, Xuzhou is the land of the Han Dynasty. Tao Gongzu is also a Han minister. Now he is no longer qualified to be the governor of Xuzhou. Uncle should appoint another wise man to take on this position.

"Liu Huangshu is a noble of the Han Dynasty, the emperor's uncle, the prime minister of the current dynasty, with a reputation known throughout the world, and he manages the affairs of the Han Dynasty for the emperor. Let alone a small governor of Xuzhou, even if he took over the whole world, who would criticize him?"

Chen Deng spoke with high spirits and passion, as if it would be a great act of treason for Liu Yu not to take over the position of Mu of Xuzhou.

Liu Yu carefully thought about Chen Deng's words and felt that they made sense.

Although it was a time of chaos, all the princes had their own plans, but no one dared to raise their own flag.

Historically, in the near future, after Yuan Shu obtained the imperial seal, he instantly became inflated and felt that he was destined to be the emperor.

He ignored everyone's opposition and openly proclaimed himself emperor.

As a result, he was beaten up by various princes and soon disappeared in the long river of history.

This also shows from another perspective that although the Han Dynasty declined, it still had its foundation after four hundred years.

But Liu Yu was not prepared to agree immediately. After all, it would not be easy for him to hold on to Xuzhou relying solely on Chen Yuanlong.

He also needs to know the attitude of the Xuzhou aristocratic families today.

"What Yuanlong said makes sense, but Xiaopei's affairs are very complicated now, and many things have not been dealt with yet. It is really difficult to get away. May I ask Yuanlong, what are the talents of Tao Gongzu's son? Can he take on the important task of Xuzhou?"
