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

Yuan Shu opened his eyes, looked at the people standing around him and smiling, and exclaimed.

"Uncle Liu, you..."

Liu Yu smiled faintly and said, "At this point, you don't still think Jiujiang City is impregnable, do you?"

"Is Uncle Liu here to kill me?"

"Kill you?" Liu Yu smiled faintly, "You are terminally ill and your life is at stake. Do you think it is necessary for me to do it?"

Yuan Shu looked far away, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "I was defeated, but the Yuan family was not defeated. Although I was defeated, I created a precedent for the Yuan family. The children of the Yuan family in the future should be proud of me!"

Hearing Yuan Shu's self-boasting, Liu Yu remained calm. As a mature politician, he should never let his emotions influence his decisions.

If Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor during a prosperous era, it would be a serious crime that would result in the execution of nine generations of his clan. But at this time, although Yuan Shu was defeated by himself, the power of the Yuan family was still strong.

Not to mention that his disciples and former officials are all over the world, Yuan Shao of Jizhou is like a mountain, standing in the way, and in this era, no one can shake him.

Ever since he met Yuan Shu at Hulao Pass, Zhang Fei has always felt somewhat disgusted with this guy.

When Hua Xiong challenged the allied forces in front of Hulao Pass and they were defeated repeatedly, Guan Yu came out to challenge Yuan Shu and was directly insulted by him.

If he hadn't followed Uncle Liu, how could he have killed Hua Xiong with a cup of wine?

Now facing Yuan Shu's verbal attacks, Zhang Fei did not tolerate him. He directly retorted.

"A traitor, even when facing death, dares to speak wildly."

"You... are such a rude man, how dare you... insult... me." Yuan Shu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He raised his weak hand and pointed at Zhang Fei with trembling hands.

Zhang Fei's face was full of contempt, and he looked down on Yuan Shu in his heart. In his eyes, Yuan Shu had no talent at all, and he was able to achieve his current status only because of the Yuan family's fame.

If this man was born in a poor family, who in the world would know him as Yuan Shu?

Zhang Fei was furious to see that Yuan Shu was still acting like an emperor even after what had happened.

He was just about to use his talent for talking to deal a fatal blow to Yuan Shu, but he found that Yuan Shu was already out of breath.

"Honey...water, honey...water..."

Yuan Shu had a natural love for honey water and would drink a few sips of it regardless of the weather.

Honey water is a luxury for ordinary people, but it is very common for aristocratic families like Yuan Shu.

Liu Yu looked around, and it was empty. How could it look like he could take out honey water?

Liu Yu signaled for someone to pass the honey water. Yuan Shu drank it in one gulp and his face immediately turned red.

"Uncle Liu is so kind and righteous that he even gave me honey water after all this."

Scenes from the past came to my mind.

The young man was famous for his chivalrous spirit and was soon promoted to General of the Tiger Guards. After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he escaped from Luoyang and went to Nanyang.

Later he fought against Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, and his reputation spread throughout the world!

He occupied Yangzhou and was promoted to king.

He sat firmly in the temple, with civil and military officials bowing to him on both sides.

But now, it has become like this?

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu's eyes were complicated. After a long while, he slowly said:

"I never thought that I, the founding emperor of a nation, would fall to such a state."

After saying this, Yuan Shu spat out a mouthful of blood, and in the blink of an eye, he was no longer alive.

Liu Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Yuan Shu was able to stand among the princes for many years, and he was also a great hero. Give him a good burial."

"Yuan Shu attempted to proclaim himself emperor, he should be beheaded as a warning to the world, why should he be given a proper burial? The emperor's uncle is too lenient." Zhang Fei raised objections. In his opinion, it was a mercy to not grind the bones of such a traitor to dust.

This matter was not because Liu Yu was lenient, but was simply due to the situation.

Although Yuan Shu is dead and Jiujiang City has been breached, Liu Yu knows that breaching and occupying are not just in the physical sense. If he wants to occupy the city in the true sense, he must win over the hearts of the people of Jiujiang.

Yuan Shu had been in Jiujiang for quite some time, and he had promoted both civil officials and military generals. If he wanted to gain a firm foothold here, it was very important to get the support of these people.

If Yuan Shu were humiliated, it would inevitably arouse the resentment of these people.

This is why Liu Yu wanted to bury Yuan Shu properly.

Although Guo Jia was drinking from time to time, his brain was working very fast. After Liu Yu gave the order to bury Yuan Shu properly, he already understood what Liu Yu meant.

"Yide, although Yuan Shu is dead, Jiujiang has not really surrendered. What the lord is doing is a good strategy to stabilize Jiujiang."

"Don't want to submit? No problem, I'll beat them until they surrender!"

"If force can solve the problem, then Lu Bu would have pacified the world long ago." Liu Yu glared at Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei immediately lost his arrogant demeanor.

Seeing Zhang Fei admit defeat, Liu Yu was not ready to let him go. He looked at Zhang Fei and said calmly, "I have told you long ago that a general who does not understand the art of war, does not know the battle formation, does not read the battle formation map, and does not understand the name and situation is a mediocre person.

From what you just said, it can be seen that you have not studied the Art of War in detail. From today on, within one month, you must copy the Art of War a thousand times, and within three months, you must study the Art of War thoroughly. If you fail to do so, you will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane and will not be allowed to lead troops from now on.

Copying books again! Zhang Fei was a little overwhelmed. Last time, he made mistakes due to drinking, and the terror caused by copying books had not been relieved yet, and now he was arranged to copy books again.

"Uncle Liu, can it be changed to another punishment?" Zhang Fei pleaded.

Liu Yu glanced at him and didn't answer. He left quickly.

Everyone followed closely behind him and followed Liu Yuzheng out.

Zhang Fei grabbed Guo Jia and showed a harmless smile on his face.

"Feng Xiao, Uncle Liu listens to you and obeys your orders. Can you please say a few good words for me in front of Uncle Liu and let me avoid this punishment?"

"No." Guo Jia answered straightforwardly without any hesitation.

Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly, but he was not discouraged, because he still had a trump card, and he believed that as long as he displayed it, Guo Jia would immediately surrender.

"I have two jars of good wine hidden away. If Fengxiao is willing to give me advice, I will give you one jar."

I thought Guo Jia would agree immediately, but he still shook his head.

Zhang Fei had no choice but to raise the stakes.

"Two altars!"

"Yide, do you know the real reason why our lord asked you to copy books?" Guo Jia looked at Zhang Fei with bright eyes.

"It's because I didn't know the big picture and I contradicted the emperor's uncle."

Guo Jia smiled faintly and said, "Yide has been with the lord for so long, do you really think he is a petty person?"

"What is your intention? Please tell me clearly."

"Among the generals under my command, there are many who are capable of being generals, but few who are capable of being commanders. The lord asked you to copy the book so that you can take on greater responsibilities in the future."

When Zhang Fei heard this, all his unhappiness disappeared. It turned out that the emperor's uncle asked him to copy the book, and there was such a deep meaning behind it?
