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

While Liu Biao sent people to search the whole city in vain, Liu Yu was living quietly in a small courtyard, basking in the sun lazily.

This courtyard is located in the prosperous area of ​​Xiangyang City. There is a refined salt shop in front of it. The daily business is very busy and obviously a bit noisy.

The noisy environment is bound to have some impact on Guo Jia's illness, which is why Liu Yu did not choose to live here at the first time.

Now that the news of his arrival in Xiangyang had leaked out, the whole city was in an uproar. For safety reasons, Liu Yu had to live here.

When in Luoyang, Liu Yu began to plan to promote the sale of refined salt, on the one hand for profit, and on the other hand to establish a complete intelligence network.

In the early stages of its implementation, it was resisted by aristocratic families and the effect was not ideal.

It was not until Liu Yu brought Mi Zhu under his command that the refined salt business began to flourish in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Mi Zhu is indeed one of the wealthy businessmen of the time and he is indeed unique in business.

He first used his own shop to distribute the goods. Once he found a conflict with the local aristocratic families, Mi Zhu would use his influence to reach a consensus with the aristocratic families as quickly as possible.

The gathering and separation of the world is all due to wealth. Mi Zhu, who was born as a businessman, naturally understood this truth. He gathered a group of businessmen and used the supply chain of refined salt to form a so-called business alliance.

Due to the common interests, the business alliance was solid and united, and this decision also made the promotion of refined salt business more efficient.

With the promotion of refined salt business, the intelligence network that Liu Yu valued more was also established.

News from all over the country is continuously summarized through this channel.

Today, this refined salt shop is the intelligence center of Xiangyang.

Liu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Guo Jia beside him, and asked with a smile: "Fengxiao, Liu Jingsheng has been looking for us. He doesn't really think we want to covet his Jingzhou, right?"

"Liu Jingsheng was a hero back then, but after just a few years, he has become like this." Guo Jia looked exhausted, coughed twice, and then slowly said, "He didn't think about it. If he really wanted to plot against Jingzhou, why would the lord risk coming here?"

"People change once they are in a high position. This is not uncommon. Let's not talk about the distant past. When Dong Zhuo was in Xiliang, he was a great hero, but he changed after he arrived in Luoyang."

Liu Yu knew Dong Zhuo's situation best. After entering Luoyang City, he did not think about making progress, but was greedy for pleasure, stayed overnight in the palace, and raped palace maids. From this moment on, Dong Zhuo was no longer the hero of the past. Instead, he became a traitor through and through.

"My Lord, what you said is absolutely right. Judging from Dong Zhuo's strength at that time, if he is determined and makes good plans, it is not an empty talk for him to conquer the whole world."

Liu Yu nodded, and those events of the past came to his mind bit by bit like a movie.

What Guo Jia said was right. Back then, Dong Zhuo had Li Ru and Jia Xu for civil affairs, and Lu Bu and Hua Xiong for military affairs.

Regardless of whether they are civil officials or military generals, they are all top-notch figures in the world.

Throughout this era, there are only a handful of people who can rival Li Ru in terms of wisdom and strategy.

Lu Bu is undoubtedly the best general in the world. No general of this era can defeat him alone.

At that time, the emperor was in the hands of Dong Zhuo, who was in charge of justice.

At the same time, he had hundreds of thousands of Xiliang soldiers under his command. With such strength, no one could compete with him at that time.

He obeyed the emperor's edict and gathered heroes from all over the world to fight against Dong Zhuo in front of Hulao Pass.

Although the momentum was huge, Liu Yu had to admit that the Allied forces did not have the upper hand when the two armies fought.

If Dong Zhuo himself had not decided to retreat, he would have withdrawn his troops back to Luoyang.

Hulao Pass alone is enough to hold them all off.

While the two were talking, Xu Chu came in from outside, handed Liu Yu a piece of thin paper, and reported loudly: "My lord, the list of the Confucian Classics Conference is here, please take a look."

Liu Yu took the list and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, a name made him slightly stunned.

Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng, according to the time calculation, this person worked under Liu Biao, but he should have been stationed in Changsha with Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan, so how could he suddenly come to Xiangyang to attend the Confucian classics conference.

Although there were also military strategies at the Confucian Classics Conference, given Huang Zhong's current status in Liu Biao's heart, it was impossible for him to travel thousands of miles to Xiangyang to discuss it.

This opportunity to enhance one's reputation would definitely belong to Cai Mao.

Huang Zhong was born in a humble family and had a weak foundation in Jingzhou. The aristocratic families did not take him seriously. Otherwise, with his superb archery skills, he would not have remained unknown in Jingzhou.

Liu Yu pointed at Huang Zhong's name and asked, "Zhongkang, go and find out when this man will arrive in Xiangyang?"

Xu Chu bowed and said, "My lord, the people above have already found out that Huang Zhong has arrived in Xiangyang City. Strangely enough, he did not stay in the government office, but stayed in a quiet guest house."

"Is this really true?" Liu Yu was a little surprised. Huang Zhong was currently serving as an official in Jingzhou. Even if his rank was not high, he should have lived in the government office when he came to Xiangyang to attend the Confucian Classics Conference.

Liu Yu stood up and said, "Zhongkang, prepare a gift and follow me to meet Huang Zhong."

"My lord, Huang Zhong is just a small General of the Household under Liu Biao. If you want to see him, there is no need for you to go there in person. Just let me go and call him over." Xu Chu was a little confused. What made him even more confused was that Liu Yu also asked him to prepare a gift.

How precious it is to ask the emperor's uncle to prepare a gift. According to Huang Zhong's current status, how could he afford it?

"Zhongkang, although this man's official position is not high, his martial arts are quite good. With your current fighting ability, it may be difficult for you to defeat him."

Xu Chu was a little unconvinced, and muttered: "My Lord, I have found out all the information about Huang Zhong. He is nearly fifty years old, how could he still have such fighting power?"

“Zhongkang, you are also well-educated, you should know that the famous general Lian Po in ancient times could still pull a strong bow when he was nearly seventy years old.

How old is Huang Zhong now? He is at most a middle-aged man. "

After Lu Bu was placed under house arrest by Liu Yu, it was hard to say who was the best general in the world, but Huang Zhong definitely had a place among the top group of people.

Liu Yu also vaguely felt that if all the generals competed to compete for the title of the best in the world after Lu Bu, Huang Zhong might have the last laugh.

In history, when Guan Yu attacked Changsha, Huang Zhong was a few years older than he was at this time, but he still fought Guan Yu to a draw in the end.

At that time, Guan Yu was a veteran of many battles, and his experience and physical strength were at their peak.

Guan Yu had not experienced many battles now, and his experience had obviously not reached its peak. If he fought against Huang Zhong at this time, he would most likely be defeated.
