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

Xun Yu's surrender made Liu Yu happy.

In today's era, two types of scholars are most sought after: one is proficient in strategy, and the other is good at governing.

There are many people who are good at strategy and many who are good at governing. But in this era, there are only three people who can be the best at both.

One person has disappeared in the long river of history along with the shadow of war.

The other one was still studying hard, quietly expanding his wings.

The remaining person is Xun Yu.

Now, Liu Yu has many people who are proficient in strategies, but few are good at governing.

Xun Yu's arrival just filled this gap.

Liu Yu immediately appointed Xun Yu as Shizhong and asked him to stay by his side to assist him in handling government affairs.

The cumbersome paperwork had long been a headache for Liu Yu. When he was in Yuzhou, he once asked Chen Qun to assist him in handling government affairs.

Although Chen Qun was talented, he was still a level below Xun Yu.

Xun Yu was very happy to see that Liu Yu valued him so much.

Under Xun Yu's management, government affairs became increasingly clear.

With Xun Yu's help, Liu Yu instantly felt much more relaxed. He lay lazily on the couch, picked up the wine glass and drank by himself.

After a while, the aroma of wine filled the room.

At this time, Guo Jia walked in. Looking at Liu Yu drinking cup after cup of wine, he felt a little resentful.

"My lord, as the sage said, happiness alone is not as good as happiness shared with others. Can I have a few drinks with you?"

Liu Yu sat up suddenly and waved his hand to stop Guo Jia's good intention.

"Fengxiao, I can finish all this wine by myself, so you don't need to worry about it."

"My lord, helping others is the basis of happiness. I am willing to drink with you."

Liu Yu laughed and said, "Feng Xiao, you and I both know your body well. If you want to trick me into giving you some wine, forget it."

Guo Jia sighed helplessly. No matter how brilliant his plans were, Uncle Liu would never be fooled.

No matter how much he said, he just sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, as calm as a mountain in the face of wind and rain.

Liu Yu looked at Guo Jia's anxious look and asked with a smile, "Why are you here at this time? Tell me what's the matter?"

"Wenhe just sent a message that Gongsun Zan couldn't bear the blow of failure and fell ill and died."

Liu Yu was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

When Gongsun Zan was trapped in a high tower, Liu Yu used his memories of his previous life to discuss with Jia Xu and rescued Gongsun Zan.

Liu Yu hid him in Liaodong temporarily. Once he had a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan could take the opportunity to summon his old subordinates and harass Yuan Shao from behind.

Liu Yu believed that with Gongsun Zan's influence, even if he could not recapture Youzhou immediately, he would still make Yuan Shao very wary.

It can be said that Gongsun Zan was the most important move in his battle with Yuan Shao.

As long as this move can play its due role, it will deal a heavy blow to Yuan Shao.

Who would have known that, although Gongsun Zan managed to escape death thanks to his own plan, he still couldn't suppress the resentment in his heart.

Not long after that, he died.

The death of Gongsun Zan completely disrupted Liu Yu's plan.

This forced him to re-play the battle situation with Yuan Shao.

"Fengxiao, how can Youzhou break the impasse at this time?"

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, Gongsun Zan is dead. Youzhou will fall completely into Yuan Shao's hands. It is obviously impossible to restore Gongsun Zan's prestige.

What we can do now is to send people to Youzhou to secretly develop forces and contact Gongsun Zan's old subordinates. If we can harass Youzhou to the greatest extent possible and make Yuan Shao afraid, we will be considered successful. "

Liu Yu sighed helplessly in his heart, and after a long while, he said leisurely: "At this point, this is the only way. Who should go to Youzhou? Does Fengxiao have anyone in mind?"

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said, "This person must not only be brave and resourceful, but more importantly, he must be very familiar with Youzhou. I thought about it for a while and thought of someone, but I didn't think he was suitable."

Liu Yu interrupted: "Could Fengxiao be referring to Zilong?"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "That's right. Zilong once served under Gongsun Zan and is quite familiar with Youzhou. Moreover, he is both brave and resourceful. He was originally a good candidate to go to Youzhou.

But Zilong is a skilled warrior and is too important to the lord. If he is sent to Youzhou, it will inevitably be seen as a waste of talent."

What Guo Jia said was right, Zhao Yun was indeed suitable, but as Guo Jia said, Zhao Yun was too outstanding. He was now under his command, stationed in Xiaopei, guarding an area alone.

It is indeed a waste to send such a talent to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.

Liu Yu kept filtering the generals under his command in his mind, and suddenly a name appeared in his mind.

This person has been in Liaodong for many years and is familiar with the local terrain. He is not weak in martial arts and has wisdom. Isn't he the most suitable person to go to Liaodong?

"Fengxiao, I have a candidate in mind. This person will be able to do the job when he goes to Youzhou."

"Who is this person?"

"Taishi Ziyi."

After a while, Taishi Ci was called over by Liu Yu.

When Taishi Ci came in, he hurriedly saluted.

Liu Yu smiled slightly, signaling Taishi Ci not to be polite and asking him to sit down quickly.

Seeing Taishi Ci sitting down, Liu Yu said straight to the point: "Ziyi, Yuan Shao has occupied the four northern states and is becoming more powerful. It won't be long before we have to fight. Yuan Shao has a strong army, far superior to mine, so if we want to defeat Yuan Shao, we must use a surprise attack."

Taishi Ci understood Liu Yu's intention and bowed hastily, saying, "My Lord, since I have surrendered to you, I will not hesitate to die if you command me."

"Ziyi, you have been in Liaodong for several years and are familiar with the terrain. I want to have someone lead a group to sneak into Liaodong and secretly contact Gongsun Zan's old subordinates. Once the war between the two sides breaks out, you can seize the opportunity in Liaodong and harass Youzhou. In this way, Yuan Shao's rear will be unstable and he will definitely send troops to Youzhou. At that time, our chances of winning will be much greater."

"My Lord, rest assured, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

"How many men does Ziyi need?"

"Since we are going to infiltrate, too many people will make it easier to be exposed. My lord, just give me a thousand elite soldiers."

"Okay, Ziyi, you have great ambitions. You can go to the army and select personnel. But before you select personnel, I have something to ask you.

If Yuan Shao cannot bear it anymore and sends a large army to attack, how should Ziyi respond? "

Taishi Ci replied, "I will lead the soldiers and use the terrain to stop Yuan's army."

"Ziyi, you must not do this. You are far away in Youzhou. You must remember that your role is to harass. You must not engage in direct battle with Yuan Shao's army.

I have a sixteen-word mantra. If you follow it, I can ensure that you will be invincible in Youzhou."

"My lord, please tell me, I will obey you."

"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue."
