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

Yang Hong had a smile on his face all the time. Seeing the growing suspicion in Lu Bu's eyes, he continued:

"Have you ever thought about where your majesty would most likely go if he were to escape from this predicament?"

Yangzhou, Sun Ce? This was Lu Bu's first thought.

But when he thought of Sun Ce and made it clear to the world that he and Yuan Shu were irreconcilable, Lu Bu gave up this answer.

He followed Yang Hong's thoughts, thinking about the various forces in the north, and finally said uncertainly: "Jizhou, Yuan Shao?"

Yang Hong nodded slowly, tacitly agreeing with Lu Bu's answer.

Lu Bu thought that this was indeed the case. Although the Yuan brothers had been enemies for many years because of interests, they would still think of him first when times of crisis.

Brothers are angry at the wall, and they are protected from their insults outside!

This is truly a true saying.

"Sir, what you mean is that Uncle Liu knew that Yuan Shu would break out from the north, so he deliberately let me guard this gate alone."

Yang Hong smiled faintly. It turned out that invisible imagination was the most deadly.

"Marquis Wen is right. Uncle Liu is so wise. He has always been known for his broad knowledge. How could he not see the benefits? Letting Marquis Wen guard the north gate is to consume you to the maximum extent."

Lu Bu's face turned pale. He was fooled by Yang Hong. The doubts in his heart grew heavier. The past was like smoke, rising up in his mind again.

When he was defeated by Cao Cao in Yanzhou and had no way to retreat, he wanted to flee to Xuzhou, but Liu Bei did not believe him. Instead, he asked Chen Gong and Gao Shun to swear an oath to guarantee for him.

It was because of this incident that the two of them left him.

Thinking of this, fire flashed in Lu Bu's eyes.

"Uncle Liu has gone too far, I will not stop until I have my revenge."

Seeing that Lu Bu was indeed angry, Yang Hong felt happy in his heart, but his face remained expressionless.

"Marquis Wen, Uncle Liu has 100,000 elite soldiers under his command, and Zhang Fei and others are capable of fighting 10,000 men. Even if Marquis Wen wants to take revenge, it will probably be difficult to achieve his wish."

Lu Bu naturally knew the gap, but he had already thought of a plan. As long as this plan succeeded, he could capture Uncle Liu in one fell swoop.

As long as Uncle Liu is captured, the 100,000 elite troops will lose their commander, and their combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced. At that time, he will be able to pacify the 100,000 elite troops in one go.

"Don't worry about this, sir. I have my own plan in mind. Go back and tell Yuan Shu that once I defeat Emperor Liu, all the land I gave to Yuan Shu will be taken back."

"Of course. My Majesty said that as long as Marquis Wen can lift the siege of Jiujiang, the agreement will be void, and His Majesty will give Marquis Wen ten thousand dan of grain and one thousand taels of gold."

"Okay, it's a deal. Sir, just go back and tell Yuan Shu that the siege of Jiujiang will be lifted within three days."

The sun rises and sets, and a day passes.

Liu Yu sat in the big tent, looking at the letter in front of him in silence. After a while, he slowly asked, "Feng Xiao, Lu Bu invited me to drink in his tent tomorrow night. What do you think about this?"

"My lord, there has never been a good banquet since ancient times. My lord, you'd better be careful."

"Feng Xiao means that Lu Bu is really interested?"

"Lü Bu is fickle and must be guarded against. If he really has other ideas, facing our army of 100,000, he will definitely make trouble for the lord."

"Feng Xiao's words make sense, but I'm thinking that since Lu Bu has become disloyal, if he doesn't let it show, he will always be a disaster."

"My lord, you want to take risks and lure Lu Bu into the trap?" Guo Jia couldn't believe it.

Liu Yu didn't say anything. He couldn't do such a dangerous thing alone. In his belief, all dreams were insignificant compared to life.

If he was asked to sacrifice his life in order to revive the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu would refuse without hesitation.

He was not a hero in his previous life. He was ordinary and common, and did not have the courage to sacrifice his life for the country.

But like many people in his later generations, he was kind and optimistic, and he was willing to do more within his ability.

For ourselves, for the nation, for the country.

"Feng Xiao, you know me well. I will never do such heroic deeds as risking my life and going to a meeting alone."

Hearing Liu Yu's words, Guo Jia smiled faintly. This was the Uncle Liu he knew.

With outstanding literary talent, extraordinary insight, decisiveness and foresight, in this respect, Uncle Liu was almost a perfect man. However, there was one thing: Uncle Liu attached great importance to life, or to put it more bluntly, he was very afraid of death.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Liu Huangshu interpreted this ancient saying to the fullest.

Liu Yu's chastity and cherishment of life did not make Guo Jia despise him, but made him admire him. Liu Yu was not as unrestrained as himself. For the sake of the people of the world, he wanted to keep himself useful and revive the Han Dynasty with his own strength.

"My lord, for the sake of the people of the world, he who suppresses his own nature and does not want to suffer from war is a truly brave person."

I am simply afraid of death, Liu Yu complained in his heart.

"Feng Xiao, since Lu Bu has made up his mind, do you have a plan to lure him out?"

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said slowly: "My lord, I have already made up my mind about this matter. Since Lu Bu has made up his mind, he will definitely act before he captures Jiujiang. Otherwise, everything will be in vain."

Liu Yu nodded, agreeing with Guo Jia's opinion. The reason why Lu Bu had this idea now was definitely because he was afraid that after he destroyed Yuan Shu, he would seize Xuzhou in one fell swoop.

He wanted to save Yuan Shu and maintain this balance. Once he defeated Yuan Shu, this balance would be broken. Even if Lu Bu was unwilling, he probably would not dare to take any action.

"I will refuse Lu Bu's invitation to a banquet right now."

Guo Jia said slowly: "My lord, you can send someone to say this."

……

……

Lu Bu prepared a banquet and waited for Liu Yu to come. At this time, his military camp seemed calm as usual, but in fact, weapons were already hidden. Now he sat there quietly waiting, just to take advantage of Liu Yu's arrival and control him in one fell swoop.

Time passed bit by bit, and Lu Bu, who was sitting in front of the desk, became a little anxious.

At this moment, Zhang Liao came over.

"Marquis Wen, Uncle Liu sent someone to tell him that he is ill and will not be attending the banquet."

"Is he sick?" Lu Bu was a little suspicious. "When I sent someone to deliver the letter yesterday, Uncle Liu was still in good health and there was nothing wrong with him. How come he suddenly fell ill today?"

"The visitor didn't say anything. He left a few words and then left in a hurry."

"Could it be that my plan has been discovered by Emperor Liu?"

"Don't worry, Lord Wen. Every place in the camp is guarded by trusted people. The news will definitely not leak out."

Lu Bu was still a little worried. After all, Liu Yu was a cunning man. If he was not sick but did not come to the banquet, it at least proved that he had doubts about him.

"Wenyuan, since the emperor's uncle is ill, we should go and visit him."
