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

Zhang Fei was very determined to retake Xuzhou, as it was related to his reputation among the generals.

Zhang Fei, who was known for his invincible power in talking, has lost his former charm since he lost Xuzhou.

He urgently needed to recapture Xuzhou and revive his former spirit of seeking defeat.

Liu Yu could understand his situation, but he did not agree with his approach.

"Yide, Yuan Shu is a powerful enemy. If we attack Xuzhou rashly and fail, Lu Bu will be pushed to the opposite side. At that time, fighting on two fronts will be very disadvantageous to us."

"The emperor's uncle is recruiting Lu Bu. Is he really going to grant him the title of governor of Xuzhou?"

"If he can agree to the conditions, then it's not a bad idea."

"Uncle, Lü Bu is treacherous and fickle. He served Ding Yuan and killed him, served Dong Zhuo and killed him, and then surrendered to you to seize Xuzhou. If such a traitor is accepted by you, I am afraid that he will cause trouble sooner or later."

Liu Yu understood this principle very well, but politics is not about chivalry. When encountering injustice, you should pick up a three-foot-long sword and kill it with one blow.

He is a frog in boiling water. It's all about interests. As long as there are common interests, yesterday's enemies can drink and chat together today and become lifelong friends.

This is the face of politicians. They are born actors and if their performance fails, they may lose their lives.

Therefore, when politicians perform, they all work hard, without any affectation or whining like the young actors of later generations.

Liu Yu, with his shameless thick-skinnedness, also joined this group, and with the halo of being the emperor's uncle, he also had a place in this era.

"Lü Bu was personally appointed Marquis Wen by your majesty. I have never doubted his loyalty to your majesty."

"Uncle Emperor, this..."

"Yide, I have already made the decision on this matter. No need to say more. Go and organize the troops quickly. There must be no mistakes."

Although Zhang Fei felt somewhat helpless, he dared not disobey Liu Yu's order. He stood up, saluted, and walked out of the hall.

Liu Yu turned his head to Chen Deng.

"Yuanlong, go back to Xuzhou first and tell Lu Bu that if he can keep his promise, I, the governor of Xuzhou, will not break my promise."

"I will definitely convey your words, my lord."

After Chen Deng left, Guo Jia's slightly drunk eyes became more and more blurred.

"My lord, I want Yuanlong to tell Lu Bu about this conversation just now."

"Nothing can be hidden from Fengxiao's eyes. That's right. Although Yuanlong is also under my command, it would be more convincing if he told me what he saw."

"Yide is right." Guo Jia drank a glass of wine and said slowly: "Lü Bu is a fierce tiger. He has great ambitions. Even if he is granted the post of governor of Xuzhou, he may not be safe."

"To be honest, I don't believe that Lu Bu will keep to himself. But he is currently leading his troops to fight against Yuan Shu. If he takes the opportunity to retake Xuzhou, and if he is used by someone with ulterior motives, rumors will spread, which may be detrimental to the Han Dynasty."

Not believing in rumors and not spreading rumors is a slogan and a spirit in the new era. However, the difficulty of truly achieving this is far beyond imagination.

First of all, you need to make sure everyone has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, to know which are rumors and which are truths. In this age when literacy is not universal, this is obviously impossible.

Once the rumor that Lü Bu had fought against the enemy for the Han Dynasty and had his place of residence taken away spreads, it will spread throughout the Han Dynasty like a plague.

By then, the credit of the Han Dynasty, which was on the verge of collapse, would completely collapse. No one would lend a helping hand whenever the Han Dynasty encountered difficulties in the future. They would silently watch the giant ship of the Han Dynasty slowly sink to the bottom of the sea and disappear without a trace.

"Once we destroy Yuan Shu, as long as we keep a close watch on Lu Bu, with the backup plan that my lord left behind in Xuzhou, even if Lu Bu wants to make trouble, he won't be able to cause much trouble."

Guo Jia was very confident about the current situation. He never regarded Lu Bu as a strong enemy. In his opinion, although Lu Bu was brave, he was only brave but not wise, and would definitely become a great man.

During this period, he always kept his eyes on Yangzhou, further south.

He had been planning another major event, which was to capture Jiujiang and then continue to march south to seize the entire Yangzhou.

To this end, he had been proposing it to Liu Yu, but without a doubt, it was all rejected by Liu Yu.

Liu Yu's reason for vetoing was very simple. He knew that in the course of historical development, the land of Yangzhou would not have a big impact on the situation in the Central Plains for the time being. What really made Liu Yu wary was Yuan Shao of Jizhou.

"My Lord, after conquering Jiujiang, are you really not going to meet Sun Ce?"

Liu Yu shook his head.

"Sun Ce is on the rise, and it may be difficult to win a quick victory by attacking Yangzhou at this time."

"Sun Ce may seem to be on a strong momentum, but he has just occupied most of Yangzhou, and people's hearts are floating and unstable. As long as the plan is well planned, it is not impossible to take Yangzhou in one fell swoop."

"Fengxiao wants to meet Zhou Yu?" Liu Yu did not agree directly, but asked Guo Jia a question in return.

"If you meet a man of both civil and military talents like Zhou Yu, it would be a great pity in life if you don't compete with him."

Having said this, Guo Jia, who was originally drunk, suddenly sobered up a little.

There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Ever since he heard Liu Yu's praise for Zhou Yu that day, he has always been very interested in Zhou Yu.

Uncle Liu is a man of great learning and talent. How could Guo Jia be willing to miss someone who could be praised by Uncle Liu?

"Fengxiao, this matter cannot be rushed. Yangzhou has always been behind my plan. It won't be too late to fight after we have pacified the north.

But during this period of time, you must take care of your body and drink in moderation. Sexual abuse is harmful to the body. I'm sure Fengxiao understands this principle, right?"

During this period of time, Liu Yu was a little worried about Guo Jia's health. After all, Guo Jia died young in history. After helping Cao Cao pacify Yuan Shao, he fell ill and passed away suddenly.

There is no clear record in history books about the cause of Guo Jia's death, so there are many different opinions. Some say that he died of plague. Liu Yu thinks this is unlikely. Although there were not many defensive measures against the plague at that time, if a plague suddenly broke out when he came back from Liucheng, there would inevitably be large-scale deaths in the accompanying team. However, this is not reflected in history books.

Some people say that he died from taking drugs. Wu Shi San is made from some inexplicable chemical substances and is a chronic poison. If consumed for a long time, even a Daluo Jinxian cannot save him.

During this period, Liu Yu had been observing Guo Jia and did not notice any signs of him taking drugs.

Liu Yu was not surprised that Guo Jia was not taking drugs at this point in time. After all, the trend of taking drugs was promoted by Cao Cao's "fake son", and at this point in time, no one knew who was pregnant with his "fake son".

After ruling these out, Liu Yu was able to basically determine that the reason for Guo Jia's early death was drinking and indulgence.

Once you are over 30, your body's functions start to decline. If you don't exercise self-control, it's not surprising that your body will be drained.
