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

After they walked a few steps forward, they saw a pretty little boy coming out to greet them.

Huang Chengyan introduced Liu Yu to him with a smile.

After hearing this, the little boy simply bowed without any extra expression on his face.

He was very enthusiastic towards Huang Chengyan. He followed him around and called him "Mr. Huang" all the time.

From analyzing the current situation, Liu Yu already knew that Huang Chengyan and Zhuge Liang had an unusual relationship. As for whether his daughter had been betrothed to Zhuge Liang, Liu Yu was not sure for the time being.

But it was obvious that Huang Chengyan had a keen eye and had seen Zhuge Liang's extraordinaryness. Even if the relationship had not yet been confirmed, Huang Chengyan probably already had some ideas.

It's no wonder. With such a top talent like Zhuge Liang, the father-in-law would definitely be confused!

Several people sat on the ground and the boy brought them hot tea.

Everyone drank a few cups of tea and the atmosphere became lively again.

"Just now, my uncle said that the people of Jingzhou are loyal and the country is peaceful. Is that true?"

Cui Zhouping expressed his doubts. Unlike the fierce atmosphere when they first met, he was now convinced by Liu Yu's remarks.

Although he traveled among the mountains and forests all day long, he was also worried about the future of Jingzhou. He asked this question just to seek advice from Liu Yu.

Liu Yu did not give a direct answer, but passed the topic to Cui Zhouping.

"Does Zhou Ping have a different opinion on this matter?"

Cui Zhouping said slowly: "Jingzhou is still peaceful at the moment, but I predict that war will break out soon."

Sun Ce and Liu Jingsheng have a grudge for killing their fathers. He has amazing fighting power and has occupied most of Yangzhou. After he has secured Yangzhou, he will definitely attack Jingzhou. "

Guo Jia smiled. Letting Liu Biao and Sun Ce attack each other was originally one of their plans.

Cui Zhouping also saw the key to the matter, which made Guo Jia very impressed.

Intent on testing their talents, he asked, "Liu Jingsheng has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command. Even if Sun Ce leads his troops to attack, what does Jingzhou have to fear?"

Cui Zhouping shook his head slowly and said, "Brother Fengxiao, you don't know that Sun Ce is a descendant of a general family and has extraordinary martial arts skills. In the Jiangdong area, he is known as the Little Overlord. His generals, such as Zu Mao and Huang Gai, are all brave generals who have fought hundreds of battles. The leader of Jingzhou, Cai Degui, is skilled in naval warfare. If it comes to land warfare, I'm afraid he can hardly match these people."

Liu Yu picked up the cup and drank a cup of tea, thinking secretly in his heart.

Judging from what Cui Zhouping talked about, they were not just indulging in the mountains and rivers, but also paid a lot of attention to political affairs.

This is also consistent with Liu Yu's understanding of the hermits of this era. Many so-called hermits, after all, are nothing more than watching the success or failure and waiting for the price to rise.

Hermits are just a means to increase their own influence.

Once the prospects and official positions meet their expectations, they will not hesitate to take off their hermit disguise and devote themselves to the vigorous people's movement.

"According to Zhou Ping, Jingzhou seems to be facing a disaster. I wonder how Jingzhou can avoid this disaster?"

Liu Yu raised this question as a test.

"To be honest with you, Uncle Huang, the three of us have been thinking hard about it, but we couldn't find a solution. It wasn't until we met Uncle Liu today that we suddenly understood."

"I would like to hear Zhou Ping's advice."

Cui Zhouping bowed modestly for a few words before slowly saying, "The way to salvation lies here. The emperor's uncle is extremely talented and generous. He obeys the emperor's orders and is the orthodox rule of the world. As long as Liu Jingsheng forms an alliance with the emperor's uncle, he can escape this disaster.

"Liu Huangshu is stationed in Jiujiang, and Liu Jingsheng is stationed in Jingzhou. The two sides are attacking Yangzhou from both sides. If there is any movement in Yangzhou, the two sides will be able to resist Sun Ce's troops together."

Frankly speaking, Cui Zhouping's plan for Jingzhou was just right.

By forming an alliance with Liu Yu, Sun Ce could maintain his independence and effectively deter him from acting rashly in Yangzhou.

From Liu Yu's perspective, this alliance was not desirable, or in other words, he had never thought of forming an alliance with Liu Biao in his plan.

What he wanted to do was to constantly intensify the conflict between the two places and let them attack each other, so that he could free up his hands to deal with Cao Cao in Yanzhou and Yuan Shao in Jizhou.

Once he forms an alliance with Liu Biao and enters the competition, Sun Ce will definitely contact Yuan Shao first to contain him after he feels threatened. At that time, he will have to divide his troops to fight.

Being weaker than Yuan Shao and still dividing the troops to fight, that is a way to death, only a wise man would not do that!

But if Liu Biao was willing to surrender, it would be a different situation.

Cui Zhouping was calculating loudly, but Liu Yu did not respond.

Guo Jia was very smart, so he naturally understood what Cui Zhouping meant. He smiled and said calmly, "We have been fighting against Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, but our troops are exhausted and tired of fighting. I am afraid we may not have the strength to fight again.

For us, the most important thing now is to survive and thrive. As for the alliance, we need to think about it in the long run."

Huang Chengyan chuckled. He and Liu Biao were brothers-in-law, so he naturally cared about the future of Jingzhou. From Liu Yu's reaction just now, he already understood the key.

Liu Huangshu’s attitude towards Jingzhou was very clear: he would not form an alliance with Jingzhou.

He picked up the teacup and started to smooth things over.

"We are idle people, in this mountain forest, instead of enjoying the scenery, we are here discussing government affairs. If people knew about it, wouldn't it be a joke? Come, have some tea!"

After saying that, he drank the teacup in his hand.

Everyone followed suit and drank a glass.

Huang Chengyan laughed and said, "May I ask, uncle, why are you here in Jingzhou?"

"I dare not hide it from Mr. Huang. Fengxiao has been ill for a long time and it is difficult to cure. I heard that Hua Tuo was practicing medicine in Jingzhou recently, so I brought Fengxiao to find him."

Huang Chengyan was a man of profound knowledge. He was not only proficient in literary arts, but also knew something about medicine and divination. When he first met Guo Jia, he could already tell that he was very ill. When he heard Liu Yu say this, he already understood what was going on.

Uncle Liu is indeed a kind and righteous man. When his adviser fell ill, he actually brought people to seek medical treatment in person. Judging from this attitude of cherishing talents, Liu Jingsheng is far inferior to him.

If Liu Biao could reform the administration of officials and make progress, why would he seek help from others here?

Although Liu Huangshu is young, he is steady, generous and thoughtful. How many young people can be so calm?

It is no accident that he has achieved such great success in such a short period of time.

"Uncle Huang is right. Hua Tuo is indeed in Xiangyang recently. In ten days, Liu Jingsheng will hold a Confucian classics conference at his residence, and Hua Tuo is also among the invited guests."

This piece of news was different from what Liu Yu had heard. Liu Yu had heard that Hua Tuo was going to his house to practice medicine, so how did it become that he was attending a Confucian classics conference?

"As far as I know, Hua Tuo is good at medicine. Could it be that he also has a deep understanding of the classics?"
