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

Jiujiang, Dongcheng County.

Liu Yu led Guo Jia and after a period of travel, they finally arrived at Dongcheng.

As soon as I entered the city gate, I saw Xu Chu looking at the passers-by with a vigilant look on his face.

Seeing Liu Yu coming, Xu Chu's expression obviously relaxed a little.

He walked quickly to Liu Yu and whispered, "My Lord, we have sent people to monitor him day and night these days. Lu Su is still in his residence in the East City."

"Does he have any other moves?"

"Lu Su asked people to pack up their things. It's obvious that he wants to travel far away."

Liu Yu nodded. This was within his expectations. Historically, before Yuan Shu's defeat, Lu Su had already realized that Yuan Shu would not be able to achieve great things. He ignored the pursuers and led his men to join Zhou Yu.

It may be that I took Jiujiang too quickly, and Lu Su had not yet set out to find Zhou Yu. This gave me the opportunity to subdue him.

"We've arrived at the right time. Lead the way."

The group crossed two streets and came to a mansion. The mansion was quite large, with a half-human-high stone lion on each side of the entrance, which was obviously quite majestic.

Judging from the appearance of the mansion, one can tell that the owner of this mansion is either rich or noble.

Liu Yu asked Xu Chu to deliver his business card and then stood outside the door waiting quietly.

Lu Su was checking and sorting out things in the mansion when a servant came over with a business card.

The servant bowed and said, "Master, there is a man outside the door who claims to be Uncle Liu, and he is here to pay his respects."

"Uncle Liu?" Lu Su was a little surprised. This man had just pacified Jiujiang and still had a lot of things to do. How could he suddenly appear in Dongcheng?

Lu Su took the business card with some doubt, looked at it carefully and confirmed that it was from Uncle Liu.

The look of surprise on his face not only did not subside, but became more and more serious.

What is the status of Liu Huangshu? He is the emperor's uncle, and was granted the position of recorder of the Shangshu by the emperor. In name, he holds the power of the world.

Now he occupied the Sili Xiaowei Department and Yuzhou, and had just defeated Yuan Shu and occupied Jiujiang. He had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and many good ministers and famous generals. It could be said that no one except Yuan Shao could have the confidence to defeat him.

Although he is now a little famous, he was appointed as the mayor of East City.

When he said he was a little famous, it was definitely not modesty, but the actual situation. Otherwise, he would not have been appointed by Yuan Shu as a small East City Chief.

When he thought about it carefully, he realized that the only person who understood his talent now was probably his good friend, Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin.

This was also the reason why he packed his bags and prepared to go to Yangzhou to join Zhou Yu.

Lu Su came to the outside of the palace with a lot of questions in his mind. He bowed and said, "I didn't know that the Emperor Liu had arrived. I failed to welcome him. I am guilty of death. I am guilty of death."

Liu Yu slowly took two steps forward and looked at Lu Su, examining him carefully.

He looked to be in his twenties, with a slightly plump complexion and a short beard which was quite common in that era.

Judging from his facial features, he seems to be very honest, but Liu Yu knows that this is just Lu Su's appearance.

Liu Yu always believed in one truth: the one who could leave a great reputation in such troubled times could not be summed up by loyalty and honesty.

"Zijing, you and I are both young people, no need to be polite."

Lu Su raised his head and looked at Liu Yu who was smiling, and his face showed even more surprise.

Everyone said that Emperor Liu was young and promising, but Lu Su had never expected that he was so young.

Judging from his appearance, he was probably less than 20 years old. He was wearing a long gown that fluttered in the wind, making him look elegant and graceful. If Lu Su did not know his identity, he might have thought he was a young master from an aristocratic family.

After Lu Su greeted several people, he welcomed them in.

When the aroma of tea filled the air, after everyone drank a few cups, Lu Su bowed and asked, "Uncle Liu, why are you visiting my humble home?"

"The Han Dynasty is declining, and the people are suffering. Zi Jing is a great talent of the time, so I have come to invite you."

Lu Su was very direct, and Liu Yu did not waste any time either, and directly stated the purpose of this trip.

Lu Su was secretly happy in his heart. After all, being valued by others was worth being happy about no matter what.

But the look of doubt on his face became more obvious.

This shouldn’t be the case. My talent is rarely revealed. How did Uncle Liu know about it?

"Uncle, you are overpraising me. Although I have read a few books, I am definitely not worthy of the title of a great talent. Uncle, maybe you heard me wrongly?"

Liu Yu smiled faintly, it was obvious that Lu Su was hiding his incompetence.

This is not difficult to understand. Although history has changed, Lu Su is still in Dongcheng. But he has packed his luggage. If it weren't for my sudden visit, he would have definitely set out to join Zhou Yu.

"Zi Jing, you and I are both sensible people, so let's just speak frankly. Zi Jing has a unique vision and far-reaching knowledge. Now that you have packed your luggage, I guess you are going to seek refuge with Zhou Gongjin, right?"

"I dare not deceive my uncle. Zhou Gongjin is my close friend. I am going to look for him this time."

"Gongjin is also a young hero, and he and Zijing complement each other. I wonder if Zijing has ever thought that although Yangzhou is vast, it is poor and sparsely populated. It is impossible to occupy this place and achieve something."

Liu Yu was outspoken and directly expressed his views.

Lu Su smiled but did not answer.

Liu Yu continued, "The nine counties of Jing and Xiang have a large population and abundant food, which can make up for the shortcomings of Yangzhou. Liu Jingsheng is old and has no ambition, but he has 100,000 soldiers. Zijing, what do you think is the chance of success if we use Yangzhou to attack Jingzhou?"

After saying this, Lu Su completely lost his composure.

Everyone says that Uncle Liu is extremely talented and has extraordinary insight. After meeting him today, I realized that it is true.

He was preparing to join Zhou Yu, so he naturally made a detailed analysis of the situation in Yangzhou.

The result of his long days of thinking was easily stated by Uncle Liu.

Faced with Liu Yu's questioning, Lu Su pondered for a moment, arousing his desire to win.

He decided not to hide his incompetence anymore and wanted to personally witness Liu Yu's talent.

"Although Jingzhou has many soldiers and horses, Liu Biao is a mediocre ruler. I predict that Jingzhou will be lost sooner or later. If Yangzhou can maintain its troops for a few years and attack Jingzhou, the chance of success will be at least 70%."

Guo Jia smiled faintly, took over the conversation and asked: "Zi Jing only sees Liu Biao's shortcomings, but fails to see the hidden dangers of Yangzhou. Zi Jing, tell me, what do you think of Sun Ce?"

"Sun Bofu is resourceful and good at using troops. He is extremely brave and has the demeanor of a tyrant. In a very short period of time, he swept across Yangzhou. How many people in the world can achieve such a record?"

"Hahaha."

"Why is Fengxiao laughing?"

"I laugh at Zijing for only knowing one thing but not the other."

"Appreciate further details."

Guo Jia drank a cup of tea and slowly said, "Sun Ce did capture most of Yangzhou in a short period of time, but in order to establish his authority, he killed a group of nobles and powerful people. These people are very powerful, so how could he let it go?"

"Sun Bofu now has tens of thousands of elite soldiers and thousands of generals. Even if some people oppose him, how big a storm can he cause?"
