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

Half a month later, Zang Ba led 10,000 soldiers to Xia Pi City as agreed.

Liu Yu was very happy to see Zang Ba, and took him into Xia Pi City with a smile.

Zang Ba, who entered Xia Pi City, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar city and felt filled with emotion.

In the past, he and Tao Qian had entered Xia Pi City in such a close manner, but in the end the result was not satisfactory.

If Tao Qian had remained consistent, how could the city of Xuzhou be easily conquered by Cao Cao, and how could the people of Xuzhou be massacred?

Liu Yu and Zang Ba were chatting, and he noticed that his speech suddenly slowed down. Feeling a little suspicious, he looked up at Zang Ba and saw at a glance that he was disappointed.

"Before Tao Gongzu passed away, he mentioned you to him. At that time, he praised you highly. From what I heard from him, it seemed that he had regrets."

Zang Ba was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and said slowly: "Tao Gongzu can be considered a hero, but in the end he was stubborn and refused to listen to advice, which led to the separation of the soldiers and their disunity. It's a pity."

When they returned to the mansion, Liu Yu had someone arrange a banquet. When they sat down, Liu Yu spoke a long set of official language before the banquet began. The meaning of his words was roughly the same.

He highly praised Zang Ba's concern for the Han Dynasty and his consideration for the overall situation, and encouraged Zang Ba to adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, keep up the good work, and make new contributions.

After finishing all this bureaucratic nonsense, everyone started drinking, and after three rounds of drinks, the conversation finally got down to business.

"Zang Ba, there are bandits everywhere in Xuzhou. What do you think about this?"

"My lord, don't worry. Although the bandits in Xuzhou seem to be very active, there are only four or five of them. I am willing to lead the troops out to wipe out these bandits for my lord."

"Okay, with you here, Xuzhou will have nothing to worry about."

Zang Ba couldn't help but admire Liu Yu's calmness and composure, as he was in a high position but did not show the slightest hint of pride.

Although the emperor's uncle is very young, he is respected as the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty and holds the power of the Han Dynasty. However, there is not a trace of pride in his words and deeds, which is really admirable.

If Tao Qian had half the fortitude of his uncle, he would have been able to accomplish much more than this.

“Uncle, a few days ago, General Xu was in Kaiyang, and he single-handedly took on a hundred elite soldiers under my command. In the end, those elite soldiers were unable to get close to General Xu.

Before he left, he said that there were three people under the Emperor's uncle's command who were braver than him. Is this true?"

Zang Ba had always been puzzled by this question. Was it really impossible that there were so many powerful generals in the world? And they were all in the camp under the command of Emperor Liu?

Liu Yu smiled faintly and said, "Oh, this is the first time I've heard of this. Zhongkang, tell me, who are the three people in your mind?"

Xu Chu bowed and said, "My lord, Zhao Zilong of Changshan is a master with a spear, and his movements are unpredictable. I fought him twice and I had no chance of winning.

The Zhangba Snake Spear in Yide's hand is extremely powerful and has great force. I have fought with him most times, but rarely won.

Brother Yide, Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, although I have never fought him, but I heard from Yide that this man's martial arts are far superior to his. When the wine was still warm, he had already beheaded the Xiliang general Hua Xiong. This man's martial arts are so superb, I probably can't beat him. "

Zhang Fei grinned and laughed. Even though this kid refused to admit defeat after the competition with him, he actually admired me, Zhang, in his heart. Seeing that he admires me so much, I will let him have a few moves next time we fight.

"Zhongkang, you don't have to feel depressed. Although your martial arts are somewhat inferior to mine, there are only a few warriors in the world who can defeat you."

Alas, Zhang Fei's way of praising others is still the same. It seems that he is praising others, but in fact he is praising himself.

Wang Po is like selling melons and bragging about herself. Zhang Fei is a big and strong man, and seems to be a simple person, but when it comes to bragging about himself, he is quite good at using high-sounding words.

Zhang Fei originally thought that after hearing these introductions, Zang Ba would become very interested in him, and might even come to toast him or ask him for advice on martial arts.

"Guan Yu, who killed Hua Xiong with a cup of warm wine." Zang Ba's eyes were full of admiration. "Is he also in Xuzhou City now?"

"Yunchang is not here. I asked him to protect the emperor in Chang'an." Liu Yu said.

"The relevant generals are guarding Chang'an, and the emperor is safe."

The situation that Zhang Fei expected did not occur. Zang Ba did not have much interest in him, but was quite interested in his second brother.

"Zang Ba, if you want to see my second brother, I will take you to see him when he returns from Chang'an."

"Thank you, General Zhang!"

Until this moment, Zang Ba finally believed what Xu Chu said that day.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate for his decision that day. If he had been stubborn, he would still be stationed in Kaiyang.

Uncle Liu dispatched troops from Yuzhou and sent such a brave general to attack me, which made it impossible for me to resist.

Uncle Liu has many brave generals under his command, and there is hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty.

Zang Ba couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Zhang Fei was a little listless. It was obvious that Zang Ba's words made him understand the importance of fame. If killing Hua Xiong with warm wine was his masterpiece, he should be the one that Zang Ba admired now.

After drinking for a while, everyone dispersed.

The next morning, Zang Ba set out with his soldiers.

He had to wipe out the banditry in Xuzhou within a month.

Zang Ba's eyes were calm, as if everything was within his expectations.

The reason why Emperor Liu Huangshu handed all this over to himself, besides the fact that he had troops and horses, there was probably a more important reason.

Liu Huangshu did not mention this reason, which shows that he did not care about this matter.

Twenty days later, Chen Deng walked in quickly.

"My lord, there is news from Zang Ba."

Chen Deng took a battle report and handed it to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu picked up the battle report and took a look at it, then handed it to Chen Deng and said with a smile, "It's similar to the intelligence we got before. The larger bandits in Xuzhou all have some connection with Zang Ba. Now that he has stepped in to deal with these matters, it has really achieved amazing results.

Yuanlong, write a letter to Zang Ba and ask him to return to Kaiyang to garrison. Judging from the intelligence we have received in the past few days, Lü Bu's defeat is not far away."

"My Lord, I think it is inappropriate to let Zang Ba return to Kaiyang."

"What's Yuanlong's opinion?"

"Zang Ba has been in Kaiyang for several years. He has a deep foundation in Kaiyang and is a local overlord. He has just surrendered to the lord and his heart is not yet determined. During this bandit suppression campaign, he has gathered many bandits and his strength has increased. If he is allowed to return to Kaiyang, I am worried that once he has other intentions, it will be difficult to control him."

"Yuanlong, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them. Don't worry about this. The news of Zang Ba's surrender has spread. Cao Cao is suspicious, so even if Zang Ba takes the initiative to surrender to him, he won't believe it."

Chen Deng saw that Liu Yu had already made plans, so he bowed and said, "My lord, what you said makes sense. I will write a letter to Zang Ba right away."
