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

Slowly moving forward along the mountain path, the path became narrower and narrower. The leaves on both sides of the path had already dried up, leaving only branches fluttering in the cold wind.

Liu Yu looked around and felt that this place was becoming more and more desolate. He couldn't help but wonder if he had come to the wrong place.

According to Liu Yu's understanding of Zhuge Liang, even if he wanted to study in seclusion, it should be a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, fragrant flowers, insects and fish, small bridges and flowing water, and winding paths. Only such an elegant environment is worthy of Zhuge Liang's style.

Just when Liu Yu was wondering if he had come to the wrong place, a loud voice came from a distance.

Guo Jia smiled faintly.

"The one who is howling in the forest must be a hermit. Is this the person you are looking for, my lord?"

Although long whistling in this era is not as famous as it was in the Western Jin Dynasty, there are still many people who are keen on it.

Liu Yu was not at all impressed by Chang Xiao. In his opinion, these people just had nothing to do after eating.

The world is in chaos now and the people are suffering. It is really ridiculous that these people do not think about serving the country and saving the people, but instead spend the whole day here complaining about nothing.

Several people walked up along the path of Changxiao and saw three young men sitting cross-legged on a huge rock.

They talked for a long time and whistled at the same time. There was a tea stove on the boulder, where tea was being boiled. The tea was boiling and emitting bursts of fragrance.

Liu Yu looked up and saw three people of different heights, weights and bodies, but all over twenty years old. He was certain that these three people were not Zhuge Liang.

Liu Yu was worried about not being able to find Zhuge Liang, and when he saw three people here, he went over to ask them.

At this time, the older man on the stone platform saw Liu Yu and asked, "I wonder what brings you here?"

He saw several people wearing long swords and holding majestic bearings, obviously they were not ordinary people.

"We have come to this mountain to visit a young friend. We hope you will forgive us for disturbing your leisure time."

Looking for friends in the mountains? The man's expression eased a little, and the alertness on his face also faded a little.

"This mountain is remote and few people live there. Which friend are you looking for?"

"This man's surname is Zhuge, his given name is Liang, and his courtesy name is Kongming. I wonder if he lives in this mountain?"

The man was slightly startled when he heard the name Zhuge Liang. He knew Zhuge Liang, who had been hiding in the mountains studying for many years and did not have many friends around him. He knew the few friends he had, but he had never seen this person?

"May I ask your name?"

"Liu Yu, Liu Yunqi."

As soon as these words came out, the man was stunned in his place. After a moment, he came back to his senses. He hurriedly bowed and asked, "Could it be the talented Uncle Liu?"

"I am so talented, I don't deserve it. It's Liu!"

When the man heard this, he stood up in a hurry, bowed and said, "I am Shi Tao, Shi Guangyuan, these two are my close friends, Cui Jun, Cui Zhouping, Meng Jian, Meng Gongwei. I didn't know the emperor's uncle was coming, so please forgive me for any impoliteness."

Liu Yu indicated that there was no need to be polite and introduced Guo Jia and Xu Chu to the three of them.

After some greetings, Shi Tao invited everyone to sit down and have some tea.

Liu Yu knew that these three people were good friends of Zhuge Liang and were all very talented, so he did not refuse. They sat cross-legged on the boulder.

Shi Tao said, "May I ask when did Emperor Liu meet Kong Ming? I have never heard Kong Ming mention it before."

"Kong Ming and I are friends through spirit, but we have never met in person."

The three of them suddenly realized what was going on.

"Uncle Emperor, it's a pity that you came. Kong Ming was out traveling yesterday."

"Do you know when he will return?"

"It could take one or two days at the least, or three to five months at the most. It's hard to say when he'll be back."

Liu Yu came to see Zhuge Liang with great joy, but who knew that Zhuge Liang was not at home. He couldn't help feeling a little melancholy for some reason.

He adjusted his mood and slowly spoke, "I have heard that Jingzhou is full of talented people. Today, I see that it is true. The three of you are all great talents in the world. Isn't it a pity to sit in the mountains and forests?

Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline and the world is in chaos, this is the time for talented people to serve. Are you three willing to follow me back to the Han Dynasty and work together to save the people from suffering? "

Cui Zhouping answered, "Thank you for your kindness, uncle. The three of us are used to living a carefree life and have no intention of entering the government."

Faced with Liu Yu's recruitment, Cui Zhouping did not think about it or even hesitate, and directly refused.

Ever since Liu Yu sat down, he has been looking at Liu Yu. He did not expect Liu Yu to be so young. Judging from his age, he is probably less than 20 years old.

Liu Yu's reputation in recent years has resounded throughout the Han Dynasty like a thunderclap. Even in the self-contained Jingzhou, people have heard of him.

A few years ago, it was widely rumored in Luoyang City that he was extremely talented. Later, he led troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, attacked Yuzhou, defeated Yuan Shu, and captured Lu Bu. After experiencing so many things, how could Liu Yu be so young?

In their impression, he was at least a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Is such a young man really as magical as the legend says?

Cui Zhouping was a little unconvinced. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "In the past, the emperor's uncle shocked Luoyang with a few poems. At that time, I heard rumors that Liu Huangshu had the most talent in the world. Liu Huangshu was eight buckets of talent, Cai Bojie had one bucket, and all the talented people in the world had one bucket.

I am fortunate to meet Uncle Liu today. I want to see his talent and knowledge. I hope he will teach me."

Liu Yu's expression remained unchanged, but he was secretly frightened. He carefully observed the expressions of several people. Although these words came from Cui Zhouping, from the fleeting expressions of the three people, he could also tell that they were thinking the same thing.

It's no wonder. At first glance, these people are young people who have not experienced the world. They have studied hard since childhood and are quite talented. Seeing that people who are a few years younger than themselves have such talent and fame, some emotions are inevitable.

Liu Yu was secretly worried. Although others didn't know about his own talents, he knew it well.

The reason why he had the reputation of being extremely talented was simply because he relied on the experience of later generations and memorized a few more ancient poems. If he was really tested on writing, Liu Yu would have been able to stare blankly.

Ever since he became the emperor's uncle, he deliberately avoided content in this area. Restricted by his status, no one came to test his knowledge anymore.

Who knew that after arriving in Jingzhou, I would meet these three young men.

Although Liu Yu was a little worried, he was not panicked.

"You are so talented, but these are just empty words. Zhou Ping doesn't need to take them seriously. Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline and the people are suffering, it is time for heroes to sacrifice their lives. A real man born between heaven and earth should hold a three-foot-long sword and establish a name for himself for all eternity. How can you waste your time on trivial things like poetry and prose?"

Liu Yu's trick of replacing one thing with another was very beautiful. He said, "You talk to me about poetry and I will talk to you about righteousness."

Is poetry important, or is justice important? The answer is obvious.

This righteous and heroic speech, just as Liu Yu had expected, silenced the three people.

The three wanted to defend themselves but found that they had no idea where to start. Liu Yu said that he would pick up a three-foot sword and establish eternal fame not just empty talk, but he was actually doing it.

When I first entered Luoyang, I was a member of the royal family who was in decline. Now I hold the power of the Han Dynasty and control three of the thirteen states in the world. This is the result.
