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

After leaving Liu Biao's mansion, Liu Yu did not return to the salt shop, but took his people to live in the mansion arranged by Liu Biao.

Now that your whereabouts have been exposed, it would be a bit petty to hide behind it.

The mansion was large enough and seemed quite quiet, which was obviously more conducive to Guo Jia's recovery.

Xu Chu, who had just moved in, was very cautious. He led his soldiers to conduct continuous investigations, fearing that there might be any safety hazards.

Liu Yu lay on the couch, watching Xu Chu coming in and out, stretched himself lazily, and said calmly: "Zhongkang, don't worry, even if Liu Biao has ten thousand guts, he won't dare to leave loopholes in security.

If we encounter an accident in Jingzhou, the imperial cavalry will instantly appear on the land of Jingzhou. This situation is not what Liu Biao wants to see. "

Xu Chu nodded, agreeing with Liu Yu's opinion, but did not stop what he was doing.

Liu Yu smiled helplessly and ignored him.

Liu Yu, who appeared in Xiangyang, soon caused another sensation.

All the noble families in Xiangyang sent people to visit Liu Yu.

In the eyes of the aristocratic families, Liu Yu is more of a potential stock than Liu Biao. Regardless of whether he can succeed or not, it is never a bad thing to become familiar to them.

The wealthy families are the best investors of this era. They understand the relationship between risk and opportunity and never put all their eggs in one basket.

No matter what the purpose of the aristocratic families was, Liu Yu gave the same reason: he was not feeling well and was not suitable to meet guests.

Until Mr. Shuijing and Huang Chengyan came to the house to pay a visit.

Liu Yucai stood up, put on his ceremonial attire, and went out of the house to greet him.

The two men were very excited to see Liu Yu and hurriedly saluted.

Although Liu Yu was the emperor's uncle, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of a true master. He hurriedly returned the greeting and welcomed the two men into his mansion.

After some pleasantries, Mr. Shuijing asked slowly, "It is now rumored in Xiangyang that the emperor's uncle used four counties to exchange for Huang Zhong. Is this true?"

"It's true."

"I really admire the fact that the emperor's uncle cherishes talents so much, but Huang Zhong is not well-known and does not seem to be worth so many chips. Could it be that the emperor's uncle is buying a horse bone for a huge sum of money?"

Liu Yu had never thought about spending a huge amount of gold to buy horse bones, but with Huang Zhong's current combat power, let alone four counties, even if it was a county, Liu Yu felt that he had made a profit.

However, the fact is that Huang Zhong is not well-known. Jingzhou is peaceful and has no external enemies, except for banditry at most. Huang Zhong's extraordinary combat power has no chance to be displayed at all.

"Although Huang Zhong is not well-known, his martial arts are not weak. More importantly, he is loyal and righteous, and is a talented general."

"Seeing that the uncle is so confident, it seems that Liu Jingsheng has lost money in this deal. I am a little puzzled. Based on my understanding of the uncle, he will definitely not do a business that loses money."

Liu Yu smiled faintly. He had to admit that Mr. Shui Jing understood him better. But since Huang Chengyan was here, Liu Yu could only pretend to be humble.

"It's just that each of us takes what we need. After Liu Jingsheng occupied Xinye, he controlled the route for Yuzhou to advance southward. As long as we hold Xinye City, Jingzhou will be impregnable."

Huang Chengyan laughed loudly and said, "The strength of mountains and rivers has always been based on virtue rather than danger. If the emperor's uncle has a clear mind, he won't have to speak insincerely. It's a pity that Liu Jingsheng can't see this simple truth."

Liu Yu was not panicked when Huang Chengyan pointed out his thoughts. He smiled and said, "The world is in chaos now. Who will win and who will lose? I'm afraid we won't know until the end. Sir, may I ask if Kong Ming has returned from his travels?"

Liu Yu didn't want to talk too much about this topic, so he took the initiative to change the subject.

Huang Chengyan smiled and said, "Today we came to see the emperor's uncle for this matter. According to the news from a few days ago, Kong Ming will arrive in Xiangyang tomorrow."

When Liu Yu heard this, he instantly became interested.

"Okay, after waiting for so long, I'm finally back. Zhongkang, get ready and go up the mountain early tomorrow morning."

Xu Chu bowed and accepted the order.

Huang Chengyan said: "Although Kong Ming is smart, he is still a teenager. Why does the emperor's uncle think so highly of him that he has to go there in person? Since the emperor's uncle wants to see him, when he comes back, I will send someone to tell him to come and see the emperor's uncle."

"That's not necessary. I have nothing to do these days, so it would be a great pleasure to go for a walk in the mountains and forests."

They chatted for a while, then the two said goodbye and left.

The next morning, Liu Yu took Xu Chu and rushed to the mountain.

Seeing a young man reading beside a thatched cottage from afar, Liu Yu excitedly walked up to him and introduced himself. The young man turned around and saluted, saying, "It turns out to be Uncle Liu. I am sorry for not coming to greet you. My brother has been traveling far away and has not returned yet. If you want to see him, please come back later."

“Are you Tzuyu?”

"Exactly. I didn't expect that Uncle Liu also knew about me, Zhuge Jin of Jingzhou?"

"Tzuyu is famous, how could I not have heard of her?"

Zhuge Jin said a few humble words, and the two began to sit together and drink tea.

Naturally, they couldn't avoid some conversation while drinking tea, and the topic turned from aimless chat to Jingzhou.

"Liu Biao of Jingzhou was born in a turbulent time, but he is stubborn and self-reliant. How can he last long? If my prediction is correct, it won't be long before Jingzhou is lost."

"May I ask Ziyu, with more than 100,000 soldiers in Jingzhou, who can easily defeat him?"

Zhuge Jin said slowly, "Sun Ce of Yangzhou comes from a family of generals and is extremely brave. He occupied Yangzhou in a very short time. If he leads his troops westward, Jingzhou will fall soon."

"Zi Yu is wrong. Although Sun Ce is brave, it is not easy for him to take Jingzhou. The reason why he was able to occupy Yangzhou so quickly has a lot to do with the Sun family's foundation in Yangzhou.

Now I have deployed my troops in Jiujiang, forming a pincer attack with Jingzhou, eyeing Yangzhou like a tiger. How dare Sun Ce move rashly?"

"I'm afraid your uncle's words are not sincere. Although you have deployed troops in Jiujiang, you will definitely not send troops to Yangzhou."

"Why is Ziyu so sure?" Liu Yu asked deliberately.

"The emperor's uncle is determined to revive the Han Dynasty, but who is the most formidable enemy of the Han Dynasty now? It is undoubtedly Yuan Shao of Jizhou.

Uncle Liu wanted to pacify the north, but Yuan Shao of Jizhou was a huge mountain standing in his way.

If we want to fight Yuan Shao, the rear must be stable. I predict that the emperor's uncle will not only not send troops to Yangzhou, but will also appease Sun Ce.

Once Sun Ce lets down his guard, he will certainly send troops to Jingzhou. With Sun Ce's bravery, no one in Jingzhou will be able to defeat him."

Zhuge Jin smiled and talked eloquently. In his eyes, Liu Yu saw a kind of confidence, a kind of confidence that belonged only to the Zhuge family.

This is the confidence of the aristocratic families. There is no need to pretend or cover up. They speak their mind directly, neither humble nor arrogant.

The fact that every member of the Zhuge family can become successful is closely related to their family education and family style.

Although Zhuge Jin's words deviated slightly from his own plan, the overall direction was roughly the same.
