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

Zhuge Liang bowed again, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Uncle, although I am not talented, I am willing to follow your example and do something for the people of the world. I accept this book and will study it diligently in the future."

Liu Yu laughed and said, "That's great, that's great."

After some greetings, Zhuge Liang boarded the carriage under Liu Yu's reluctant gaze.

Under the sunshine, the carriage slowly moved westward and gradually disappeared into the corner of the sky.

Liu Yu looked at Zhuge Liang walking away and fell into deep thought.

A cough brought Liu Yu back to reality.

Liu Yu looked back and saw Guo Jia's face was pale. It was obvious that he was not feeling well in the cold wind.

"Fengxiao, the weather is cold, get in the carriage quickly."

Liu Yu hurriedly took his hand and got on the carriage.

The curtains fell, instantly blocking out the cold wind. Guo Jia took a long time to calm down.

"My lord, after Yuan Shao occupied Youzhou, he has already gained four of the thirteen states in the world. Now he is preparing his troops and storing food and grass. It is obvious that he is preparing for a battle with my lord."

"Since he wants to fight, then let's fight! I remember that when I first met Feng Xiao in Chang'an, Feng Xiao had already expected this day."

When he was in Chang'an City that day, he saw that Luoyang and Chang'an were in ruins. He wanted to rest and recuperate for three years, then go east to Luoyang and seek to conquer the world.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Guo Jia immediately raised an objection. He suggested that while Yuan Shao was trapped in Youzhou, they should rush eastward, capture Yuzhou, subdue Xuzhou, defeat Yuan Shu in the south, and ally with Liu Biao. Only in this way would they have a chance to compete with Yuan Shao for the world.

It can be said that Liu Yu's development during this period was carried out in accordance with this plan. Although many changes occurred in the middle, he finally achieved the original goal.

"Although I expected this, I still underestimated Yuan Shao. The four northern states have a deep foundation, and the Yuan family has a huge foundation. These are beyond my expectations. Thinking of Yuan Shao's strength, Guo Jia was a little worried.

Guo Jia did not expect that Jizhou had such a strong foundation that even though it had been experiencing wars, Yuan Shao's power could still grow rapidly.

Now he has recruited talented people from the four states and has many soldiers and thousands of brave generals under his command.

If we compare the combat power of the two sides at this time, Yuan Shao clearly has the upper hand.

"If we can win over Cao Cao of Yanzhou, it will definitely be a great help to you, my lord. Unfortunately, the letter I sent to Xun Wenruo fell into the sea, and there has been no news so far. This really makes me feel strange."

Guo Jia knew Xun Yu very well. Xun Yu was a gentleman of the time and was magnanimous. Even if Xun Yu disagreed with his recruitment, he would reply to his message.

But such a long time had passed since this incident, and not only was there no news about Xun Yu, but there was no news at all. In Guo Jia's view, this was obviously not a normal thing.

"Cao Cao has always had great ambitions, and I'm afraid he would not be willing to be inferior to others."

Although Cao Cao now occupies a state, his advisers and generals are no weaker than any opponent.

What he currently lacks is a base where he can display his talents.

If he had been allowed to occupy Xuzhou at the beginning, he would probably be like a fish entering the sea, and would be out of control.

"Although Cao Cao was unwilling, he had to make a choice before the war began."

"Who do you think Cao Cao will turn to?"

"He will most likely join Yuan Shao."

"Feng Xiao, the Cao family has been enjoying the Han Dynasty's salary for generations. Why did Cao Cao not think about repaying the Han Dynasty and instead defected to Yuan Shao?"

Liu Bei was a little confused. Cao Cao was considered a hero at the time. When Dong Zhuo was wreaking havoc in Luoyang City, Liu Bei assassinated Dong alone for the sake of world peace. His courage caused a sensation at the time.

It hasn't been long since it turned into this.

Guo Jia smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Xuan De, the Han Dynasty is declining and power has fallen. Under such circumstances, it is very common for the princes to have ambitions. If it were not for the strong momentum of the lord in recent years, which made them wary, I wonder how many people in this world would be kings and emperors now?

If Cao Cao was ambitious, he would not have surrendered to the lord. The lord was open-minded and recruited counselors. Once those counselors saw the lord's talents, they would definitely be loyal to him. In addition, the lord had strict military discipline and a tight organization. Even if Cao Cao wanted to make a move, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything.

If Cao Cao had joined Yuan Shao, this situation would not have happened, and Cao Cao could have taken advantage of the chaos in the world and found the right opportunity to expand outward again. "

Liu Bei nodded. At this time, he had fully understood Guo Jia's analysis. After all, if Cao Cao had great ambitions, he would have no chance under Liu Yu's command, but if he defected to Yuan Shao, such an opportunity would arise.

While the few people were talking, the carriage moved slowly and entered Luoyang City.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report that Xun Yu was asking for a meeting outside the mansion.

When they heard this, they instantly became excited.

He hurriedly asked the carriage to speed up.

When Liu Yu got off the car, he saw a scholar in Confucian robes standing outside the mansion gate. Although his face looked a little tired, his eyes were very clear.

Just as Liu Yu was still wondering whether this person was Xun Yu, Guo Jia's voice rang out.

"Wen Ruo, it's been many years since we parted in Yingchuan. I didn't expect that Wen Ruo is still as charming as ever. I really envy her."

Xun Yu had a smile on his face. He looked at his best friend and said, "Feng Xiao, please don't make fun of me. I came from Yanzhou in a mess and luckily escaped with my life. Now I am like a stray dog. How can I still be so elegant?"

"Wen Ruo, your talent is comparable to that of the ancient sages. There is no need to underestimate yourself. Come, come, come, follow me to meet Uncle Liu."

After saying that, he pulled Xun Yu in front of Liu Yu and introduced him to him.

Liu Yu's reputation over the years has spread throughout the Han Dynasty like the wind. But Xun Yu never expected that the famous and talented uncle Liu was so young.

Although he was somewhat surprised, he did not dare to neglect it. He quickly bowed and said, "Xun Yu greets Uncle Liu."

Liu Yu walked forward quickly, took Xun Yu's hand, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo, no need to bow. I have heard of your great name for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet you. Now that I see you today, I can see your extraordinary demeanor. It is enough to comfort me for the rest of my life."

Liu Yu's words sounded very polite, but Xun Yu knew that they were not just politeness. When Liu Yu first entered Luoyang, he had been to Yingchuan. While talking about business, he also asked about his situation. However, Xun Yu was living in Jizhou at that time, and the two had not met.

Liu Yu talked with Xun Yu's father Xun Gun for a long time, and the meaning of his words was very obvious, that is, he wanted Xun Yu to join him.

Xun Gun’s attitude towards Liu Yu’s recruitment was very clear: he refused.

He did not believe that the young Uncle Liu could shoulder the responsibility of reviving the Han Dynasty.

After a period of time, Xun Yu had already joined Cao Cao's army.

Later, Xun Yu returned to Yingchuan to visit his relatives. At a banquet, Xun Gun talked about this incident as a joke.

After hearing this, Xun Yu was slightly stunned. He felt a little regretful, but he didn't care too much.
