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

Liu Yu's amiable and approachable appearance deeply touched Taishi Ci's heart.

You have to know that Taishi Ci was born at the bottom of society, and compared with those people with profound family backgrounds and noble blood, he seemed insignificant.

In the past, whenever Taishi Ci had interactions with powerful figures, he could feel the arrogance and condescendingness emanating from them.

However, deep down in his heart, Taishi Ci did not have much disgust or resistance to this arrogance.

After all, in this era of strict hierarchy and clear distinction between the noble and the humble, arrogance among the bigwigs is prevalent.

But the appearance of Liu Yu broke this inherent impression.

Everyone says that Uncle Liu is courteous to the wise and humble to the humble, and is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. Seeing him today, it is indeed true.

Liu Yu smiled and welcomed the two into the mansion, and ordered his servants to arrange a banquet to welcome them.

After a while, the banquet was served.

Taishi Ci noticed that Guo Jia's eyes were full of passion since the wine was served.

Taishi Ci was very familiar with this kind of passion. During his escape in Liaodong, he came into contact with too many lower-class people who loved fine wine but had no money to buy it, which was why they felt this kind of passion.

But who was Guo Jia? He was an important strategist under Emperor Liu and was deeply trusted by Emperor Liu. How could he not have wine just because he had no money?

Just as Taishi Ci was puzzled, Liu Yu had already picked up the wine glass and drank three cups. The wine in front of Guo Jia was removed and replaced with a cup of tea.

Taishi Ci was about to ask when he heard Guo Jia's voice.

"My Lord, if Wen Ruo comes here today, it would be a great pity if I can't drink with him. Can we limit the number of cups to three?"

Liu Yu shook his head and said, "Fengxiao, your health is more important. Wenruo is a wise man in the world, how can he care about these empty formalities? You can drink tea instead of wine and accompany Wenruo for a few cups, it will be the same."

Guo Jia smiled bitterly. Since Hua Tuo's treatment, Liu Yu has been more strict with his diet, and he can only drink three cups of wine. Although Guo Jia was unwilling, he could only accept it when he thought that Liu Yu was worried about his health.

It was not until this time that Taishi Ci realized that it was because Uncle Liu was worried about Guo Jia's health and restricted his drinking.

Taishi Ci suddenly realized, but Xun Yu was stunned.

What's happening here?

Xun Yu and Guo Jia hit it off right away and became close friends. Xun Yu knew Guo Jia's temperament and character best.

He is a man of extraordinary talent, but he is also a heretic who disregards the rules of the world. He does not have many hobbies in his life, but he is most interested in wine and sex.

When in Yingchuan, Xun Yu repeatedly admonished Guo Jia because of these two things.

The reasons given by Guo Jia were also very special.

For decades of my life, I have been nothing but wine and sex. Without these two things to keep me company, would I still be Guo Fengxiao?

Xun Yu always remembered the carefree and casual look in Guo Jia's eyes.

The most difficult thing for a person to change is his temper.

Who would have thought that after just a few years of not seeing each other, Guo Jia would have become like this.

Xun Yu inadvertently looked at Liu Yu a few more times. He was a little surprised that Uncle Liu could be so charming that he could change Guo Jia's personality?

Guo Jia was not very interested in the tea. He looked at Xun Yu and asked, "Wen Ruo, what is Cao Cao's plan now?"

"Fengxiao, guess the answer." Xun Yu intended to test Guo Jia's knowledge and did not give a direct answer.

Guo Jia laughed a few times, raised his teacup, took a sip, found it tasteless, and had no choice but to put it down. He pondered for a moment and replied, "I came here alone, and there are traces of blood. Cao Cao is really a treacherous hero. Even if he disagrees with your point of view, why would he send troops to hunt you down?

Ziyi's body was clean as new, without any smell of blood. It was obvious that he met you after the assassination.

You were able to escape from Cao Cao's pursuit, probably because Zhicai helped you secretly."

After listening to this, Xun Yu was amazed in his heart. Although Guo Jia did not witness the whole incident in person, he described it as if he had seen it with his own eyes and his account was almost accurate.

"As expected of Guo Fengxiao, he is able to see the big picture from the details and analyze things so thoroughly." Xun Yu praised sincerely.

Facing Xun Yu's praise, Guo Jia's face was not very happy. He slowly said: "It seems that Cao Cao has made up his mind and wants to go north to join Yuan Shao?"

"Yes, that's right."

Guo Jia smiled faintly and said to Liu Yu: "My lord, it seems that our idea is right. Cao Cao has always had great ambitions. He joined Yuan Shao just to take advantage of the chaos to fight for the world again."

"Fengxiao, do you know where Cao Cao's ultimate goal is?" Xun Yu's eyes were clear, flashing with wisdom.

"Hanzhong and Yizhou."

“How come you see?”

Guo Jia said slowly: "No matter who wins or loses the battle between you and Yuan Shao, the north will be unified. If Cao Cao wants to do something, he must leave the north. The territory in the south is limited, and the only places suitable for Cao Cao to occupy are Hanzhong and Yizhou."

Xun Yu clapped his hands and smiled, saying, "Zhicai was conceited that he was invincible, but he didn't expect that he would meet his match today. Fengxiao himself knew his plan, so he must have found a way to crack it."

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Although I know his plan, I can't crack it. The only thing I have to do is to help him succeed."

"Help him succeed?" Liu Bei took over the conversation, somewhat puzzled. "Fengxiao, Yizhou is strategically located and has fertile land. Once Cao Cao occupies this place, it will become a great threat to the Han Dynasty in due course. Fengxiao did not stop him, so why did he help him succeed?"

Guo Jia sighed slightly and said: "A wise man plans things and follows the trend. Xi Zhicai is such a wise man!

The war with Yuan Shao is the trend, an unstoppable trend.

In this trend, we can only win, not lose.

Xi Zhicai had obviously anticipated this. Once we sent people to block Cao Cao's advance towards Yizhou, Cao Cao would have no way to retreat and would completely join forces with Yuan Shao.

By then, it will be very difficult for us to defeat the two of them."

"So not only can we not stop him, but we have to take the initiative to make way for Cao Cao to leave?" Liu Bei asked unwillingly.

"Yes, that's right."

When Liu Bei heard this, he was very frustrated, but there was nothing he could do. Guo Jia was right. Judging from the current situation, defeating Yuan Shao was the most important thing. As for the rest, they could only be put aside.

"What a good plan! Only Xizhi could come up with such a plan. This shows that he is an extraordinary person." Liu Yu praised sincerely after hearing this. "It will be difficult to determine the winner in a short period of time in a battle with Yuan Shao. This period of time is enough for Cao Cao to develop and grow in Yizhou."

Xun Yu asked with a half-smile, "Feng Xiao, is there really no solution at all?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "To be honest with Wen Ruo, the general trend cannot be stopped, but if we lay out a few hidden chess pieces in advance, we can still do it."

Xun Yu laughed.

"This is the Guo Fengxiao I am familiar with."
