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

Chen Gong offered to guarantee Lu Bu with his life and property, but Liu Yu did not agree.

This made Chen Gong subconsciously think that Uncle Liu wanted far more than his own life and property.

At this point, neither he nor Lu Bu had any way out.

He secretly made up his mind that no matter how harsh Uncle Liu's conditions were, he would agree.

But what he didn't expect was that the request made by Liu Huangshu was for him to surrender.

Judging from Liu Yu's demeanor, conversation, and past performance, Liu Yu is obviously better than Lu Bu.

If you can meet such a wise leader, it would be a blessing.

At this time he still had some concerns and hesitations, but facing the current situation, he did not have many choices left.

He pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind.

"I am honored by your uncle's trust. If Marquis Wen plots to take Xuzhou, I will definitely leave him and come to your uncle for help."

"Bo Ping, what do you think about this matter?" Liu Yu's eyes were full of passion.

"Uncle Emperor, I..."

Gao Shun was very hesitant. His hesitation was different from Chen Gong's. Chen Gong's hesitation was more out of helplessness at being disappointed in Lu Bu, but Gao Shun was worried about Lu Bu's condition.

"Bo Ping, there's no need to rush this matter. Reply to me after you've thought it over. During this time, I was just about to take you to see Xia Pi City. This city was built quite a while ago, but it has its own unique features."

Liu Yu was quite excited. Gao Shun's hesitation did not make him disappointed, but made him feel happier.

"Bo Ping, the situation in Yanzhou has reached a critical point. It is rare that Uncle Liu is willing to take in Marquis Wen. What are you still hesitating about?

Do you also believe that Wen Hou will not abide by the rules and will plot against Xuzhou?"

"Gongtai, that's not the case. After going through so many things, General Lu will definitely change his mind. I also tend to think that he will behave himself. It's just..."

Gao Shun hesitated to speak, and it was obvious that he was not sure about Lu Bu's thoughts.

"The most urgent thing is to find a place to stay. After returning, I will tell Wen Hou about Uncle Liu's conditions. If he really cares about us, we should behave ourselves and make contributions to Uncle Liu.

If he still betrays me and plots to take Xuzhou, it means that in his heart, I, Chen Gong, am not important at all, and the same is true for you, Bo Ping.

If the ruler regards his subjects as his own hands and feet, then the subjects will regard the ruler as their own heart and soul; if the ruler regards his subjects as dogs and horses, then the subjects will regard the ruler as their fellow countrymen; if the ruler regards his subjects as dirt, then the subjects will regard the ruler as their enemy. Bo Ping, you have also been educated, so you will understand such a simple principle, right? "

Chen Gong's words were logically clear and without much hesitation.

Chen Gong clearly possesses the spirit of a scholar, who will die for his confidant. Living at this time, not only does the king choose his subjects, but subjects also choose their king.

The powers of both parties are equal, and there is no special existence.

Gao Shun remained silent after hearing this. After a long time, he finally made up his mind.

"Uncle, if General Lu plots to take Xuzhou, I will keep my promise and come to submit to you."

Liu Yu laughed out loud when he heard this.

"In that case, this matter is settled. Pengcheng is a strong city with a large population. If Fengxian comes to Xuzhou, he can lead his troops to stay in Pengcheng temporarily. What do you think, Gongtai?"

"Uncle Emperor has made very appropriate arrangements. I would like to thank Uncle Emperor on behalf of Marquis Wen."

"Gongtai, we are a family from now on, no need to be polite."

"Since this matter has been decided, we are still rushing back to Yanzhou to tell the news to Wen Hou. Uncle, we two will say goodbye now."

"Don't worry, Gongtai. You two have been traveling all the way, and you are exhausted both physically and mentally. Why don't you take a night's rest? It won't be too late to leave tomorrow."

"Cao Cao has a strong army and sufficient food. His offensive is fierce. I am worried that Wen Hou will lose the city and have nowhere to stay, so I must hurry back and tell him the news."

Although Gao Shun did not say anything, the expression on his face was even more anxious than Chen Gong's.

"Fengxian is so lucky to have the two of you loyal helpers," Liu Yu said with emotion, and continued, "In this case, you two should return to Yanzhou and inform Fengxian as soon as possible."

The two men saluted Liu Yu and left quickly.

Sun Qian looked at Liu Yu, who was in a trance, and after a moment of silence, he slowly asked, "My lord, did you deliberately refuse to allow Lü Bu to surrender before, just to make these two surrender?"

“Lü Bu has a fickle nature, so I naturally cannot trust him completely, but if I can bring these two along, the result will be different.

If Lü Bu plots to seize Xuzhou, the two will surely join his camp. If Lü Bu can stay calm, he can be allowed to defend against Cao Cao’s attack in Pengcheng.”

"My lord, you are so far-sighted. I admire you very much. Deep down, do you hope that Lu Bu will plot against Xuzhou, or do you hope that he will keep to himself?"

Looking at the smile on Sun Qian's face, Liu Yu could only smile bitterly.

He had no answer to this question at all. If he were asked to choose from deep in his heart, he might be more inclined to believe that Lu Bu would behave himself.

However, judging from Lu Bu's past experience, the former is more likely to happen. He will plot to take Xuzhou at the right time.

As for when this opportunity would come, Liu Yu was not clear.

But Liu Yu was sure that under the current situation, even if he wanted to take over Xuzhou, he simply did not have the ability to do so.

Zang Ba led 20,000 elite troops and garrisoned in Kaiyang.

He led more than 10,000 elite soldiers and garrisoned in Xia Pi.

Zhao Yun led 10,000 elite soldiers and garrisoned Xiaopei.

The troops of these three parties were about to surround Pengcheng in the middle. Once he made any unusual movement, the three parties would be able to kill him in the cradle.

……

……

In Yanzhou, Lu Bu stood on the wall of the lonely city. In front of him, countless corpses were lying in all directions.

The armor on his body had been dyed blood red, and the murderous intent in his eyes was still sharp.

The Cao army not far away had just been repelled by him and was reorganizing its soldiers and preparing to attack the city again.

Looking at the dark mass of Cao's army, Lu Bu couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart. In just a few months, the situation in Yanzhou took a sharp turn for the worse.

At that time, Cao Cao had no place to stand in Yanzhou except for three cities.

But now his situation is countless times worse than Cao Cao's.

There were only a few thousand soldiers left around him, and the most important thing was that the food and grass in the city had run out. Even if Cao Cao was not in a hurry to attack the city, he would still be defeated in a few days.

Zhang Liao came to Lü Bu, looked at him with a heavy face and advised him: "General, this city is impossible to defend. Let's break out tonight."

"Wait a little longer. Judging from the time, Gongtai and Boping will be back here tomorrow at the latest. If he comes back and can't find us, our escape route will be completely blocked."

"But……"

"No buts..." Lu Bu's eyes revealed a trace of determination, "Wenyuan, no matter what, we have to wait until tomorrow night. If they don't come back tomorrow night, we will lead our troops and fight our way out."
