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

This shout made the messenger stunned instantly.

What's going on? The expression Lu Bu showed just now didn't seem fake. How could he change his mind not long after leaving the mansion?

He turned around and saw that the person was not Lu Bu, but a middle-aged scholar. He was even more confused.

"I am here on the orders of Uncle Zhong to arrange a marriage for Marquis Wen. Who are you? How dare you be so rude?"

Chen Deng said nothing, but waved his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to act as soon as possible.

In this way, the envoy was beheaded by Chen Deng.

When the envoy's entourage saw this situation, they hurriedly knelt down and apologized to Chen Deng.

Chen Deng smiled coldly.

"Well, you are all accomplices. Your crime does not deserve the death penalty. Each of you will have an ear cut off."

The soldiers came forward one after another, and amid screams, the followers all had their ears cut off.

Chen Deng's cold voice sounded again.

"The Yuan family has received many favors from the Han Dynasty, but Yuan Shu usurped the title of emperor and attempted to establish himself as emperor. This behavior is worse than that of pigs and dogs, and is condemned by both humans and gods.

Lu Gong was a contemporary hero, and the emperor personally conferred him the title of Marquis of Wen. How could he marry someone as unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial as Yuan Shu?

You go back and tell Yuan Shu that soon Marquis Wen will lead the army to Jiujiang to cut off Yuan Shu's head and present it to Your Majesty."

When the followers heard Chen Deng tell them to leave, they dared not delay any longer and rushed out of the city one after another.

Chen Deng carried the messenger's head and went directly to see Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was looking at the jewelry with excitement when he suddenly heard footsteps and looked up to see Chen Deng.

He was about to ask Chen Deng to come and see the betrothal gifts, but he saw a head in his hand, with blood still dripping from it.

Lu Bu was used to the battlefield and would not panic over a single head.

"Who offended Yuanlong? Why did you cut off his head?" Lu Bu asked slowly, his eyes never leaving the glittering jewels.

"Marquis Wen, Yuan Shu just sent an envoy, but I killed him."

After hearing this, Lu Bu was a little frightened. At this time, he was still thinking about further consolidating his relationship with Yuan Shu. In the blink of an eye, Chen Deng killed the envoy. If Yuan Shu knew about this, how could he let it go?

"Yuan Shu sent someone to form an alliance with me, but you killed his envoy. What's the meaning of this?" Lu Bu spoke coldly, and it was obvious that he was already a little angry.

If it weren't for Chen Deng's influence in Xuzhou, Lu Bu might have raised his butcher knife by now.

"If Yuan Shu declares himself emperor, he will certainly be attacked by the emperor and the princes. It won't be long before his head is hung on the city gate. Does Marquis Wen really want to perish with him?"

"Yuan Shu has a strong army and abundant food supplies, and he dominates Yangzhou. Who can defeat him?"

"Uncle Liu is a man of foresight and wisdom. He has already raised an army of 300,000 in Yuzhou and is preparing to conquer Jiujiang in one fell swoop. Does Marquis Wen think he still has a chance of winning?"

Lu Bu remained silent. According to the current situation, if Liu Yu really mobilized all the troops in Yuzhou to attack Jiujiang, it would be quite troublesome. Even if he joined forces with Yuan Shu, they would probably have little chance of winning.

The reason why Liu Bei was able to be contained in the first place was entirely because he took the safety of Yuzhou into consideration.

Now it seems that Yuan Shu's declaration of emperorship has indeed touched Liu Yu's sore spot, and he wants to achieve his goal in one fell swoop.

But what worries Lu Bu now is not only Liu Yu, but also Yuan Shu. This time Chen Deng directly killed the envoy, and Yuan Shu will definitely be furious. Even if he still wants to marry him, it will probably be difficult to achieve.

"What Yuan Long said may make sense, but don't forget that I took Xuzhou from Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu was afraid of me before because of my alliance with Yuan Shu. Once the alliance is broken, how can Uncle Liu let me go after defeating Yuan Shu? Once he turns his troops and captures Xuzhou, how will I respond?"

Chen Deng nodded secretly in his heart. People said that Lu Bu was brave but not wise, and was just a warrior. But just from this analysis, it can be shown that Lu Bu was not focused on martial arts, and he also had his own opinions on specific things.

"Marquis Wen, there is no need to worry about this matter. When Emperor Liu entered Xuzhou, he summoned me to serve under him. I have some understanding of what kind of person Emperor Liu is. If Marquis Wen is willing to send troops to attack Yuan Shu this time, I am confident that I can convince Emperor Liu to give up the attack on Xuzhou."

Lu Bu remained silent, obviously weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

He was willing to send troops to attack Yuan Shu, but he could not guarantee whether Liu Yu would regret it afterwards.

"If Yuan Long can convince Uncle Liu to appoint me as the governor of Xuzhou and let me guard Xuzhou legitimately, I will be willing to send troops to attack Yuan Shu."

"I can't guarantee this, but I'm willing to give it a try for Lord Wen."

"In that case, please trouble Yuanlong to go to Yuzhou."

……

……

Jizhou, Yecheng.

Yuan Shao no longer had his former majesty at this time. In front of him, countless wine glasses and tea sets were smashed to pieces, and the room was in a mess.

The servants serving outside the door were trembling with fear, fearing that they would be noticed by Yuan Shao and lose their lives.

At this moment, Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Guo Tu and Xu You hurried over from outside the door. They heard Yuan Shao's roar, looked at each other, and saw shock in each other's eyes.

In their impression, Yuan Shao was very graceful and well-mannered, and he could remain calm and unhurried even when faced with enormous difficulties.

What happened today that could make Yuan Shao lose his composure like this?

When the four of them met at the door, they had already guessed that this matter was no trivial matter, otherwise, they would not have come to Yuan's mansion at the same time in the middle of the night.

Now, after hearing Yuan Shao's performance in the study, he suddenly realized that the matter was more serious than he had imagined.

Could it be that Gongsun Zan has made a comeback? That shouldn't be the case. Ju Su recalled the military situation from the past few days. Gongsun Zan is now struggling to defend, so how can he organize a counterattack?

An obvious conflict between the princes? Ju Shou thought about it and still felt it was impossible. Although Yuan Shao was hesitant about the choice of the crown prince, his sons also understood that if they wanted to seize the crown prince's position, they would satisfy Yuan Shao.

Open competition is definitely impossible, the only chance is to fight secretly.

Since it was a secret fight, they all understood the principle of brotherly love and respect.

After thinking about it, he was frustrated and still couldn't figure out the reason. He turned to look at the three people, only to see that they were also confused.

"Ziyuan, you and the princess have known each other since childhood. Why don't you go and ask the lord why he summoned us here?"

Ju Shou whispered his idea to Xu You.

When Xu You heard this, a thousand thoughts ran through his mind. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the lord was very angry at the moment. If he asked me to ask, wouldn't he be trying to direct his lord's anger towards me?

"Brother Gonglu is wrong. The lord summoned us here for official business. Since it is an official matter, we cannot discuss personal feelings. The lord has entrusted Brother Gonglu with an important task and has great trust in him. It is only right for you to go and ask the lord."

Xu You was laughing in his heart, but he smiled and brought the topic to Ju Shou. We are both thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing Liao Zhai with me?
