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

Ju Su's words caused a sensation in the hall.

It was the top secret of Yuan's army that Zhang He delayed Guan Yu and sent a special force to raid Chang'an.

Except for a few important advisers and military generals of Yuan Shao, no one knew about it in advance.

Yuan Shao was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Gonglu, do you have any evidence to support your statement?"

Ju Su took out a piece of intelligence from his pocket slowly, handed it to Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, this is the evidence."

Yuan Shao opened the intelligence and took a look. He was instantly furious. He slammed the table hard, making a loud bang.

"Xu You, Xu Ziyuan, you and I are old friends. I have always been kind to you. How could you do such a thing behind my back?"

When Xu You heard Ju Shou say that there was a traitor, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face.

Although it was somewhat unbelievable that Guan Yu suddenly returned to the army, it was not impossible upon careful consideration.

Uncle Liu is an extremely intelligent man, and he has many wise men under his command. How could he not see that Chang'an is empty and at risk of being attacked?

It's ridiculous that Ju Su, in order to gain credit, actually made up the story of a traitor.

How could Yuan Shao believe such groundless words?

Xu You, who was standing below, was looking at Ju Shou with great interest. Suddenly he heard his own name and was startled for a moment.

What's going on? The traitor that Ju Su was talking about turned out to be me?

Xu You hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed and said, "My lord, since I have followed you, I have been working very hard, but I have been striving to be the first in everything. What do you mean by this? Please explain it to me."

Yuan Shao smiled coldly and said, "At this point, Xu You, you are still quibbling. Do you really think I have no evidence?"

Xu You didn't believe the evidence that he was a traitor. He had been following Yuan Shao and stationed in the Liyang camp these days. He had never left Liyang. How could he be called a traitor?

As for the evidence, Xu You believed it was nonsense. No letters had been sent out in these days. Where did the evidence come from?

"My loyalty to you is like the bright moon in the sky, and heaven and earth can bear witness to it. You must not listen to the false accusations of those with ulterior motives. Since you have evidence, please show it to me. I am willing to defend myself on the spot."

Yuan Shao sneered and said, "Well, I want to see how you can defend yourself."

Yuan Shao was thrown to the ground by the intelligence. Xu You bent down to pick up the intelligence and took a look at it. His originally very calm face changed color instantly.

The information was written very clearly. A few days ago, someone gave a lot of silver to Jizhou's family, and along with the silver, there was also a letter.

Because of this incident, Xu You's family's property was seized, and the amount was huge.

It is simply impossible for Xu You to amass so much wealth with his current income.

What’s even worse is the letter at home.

There wasn't much in the letter, just a few words.

Thanks to your help, I escaped from the disaster.

According to the old custom, a reward was given.

The signature is a character “yu”.

Xu You's face turned pale. He instantly understood that this was Uncle Liu's plan to sow discord.

The key to this plan is not the letter, but the unclear amount of money in the family.

Now that these silver coins have been found out by Ju Shou, it is like yellow mud falling into your crotch, which is shit at best.

Seeing Xu You's face change slightly and he remained silent, Yuan Shao confirmed what he was thinking.

He slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Xu You, now the evidence is irrefutable, what else do you have to say?"

After being questioned by Yuan Shao, Xu You suddenly came to his senses.

This is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for hesitation.

If Yuan Shao believed that he was a traitor, he would probably lose his life here.

"My lord, this is Uncle Liu's plan to alienate us. How can you believe it?"

"You sounded so easy about the plot to sow discord, Xu You. If it was just this letter, it would be possible, but how do you explain the money in the mansion?"

"This is all my embezzlement." At this point, Xu You had no choice but to confess. Although embezzlement is also a crime, it is much easier than being a traitor.

"Corruption?" Yuan Shao smiled coldly, seeming not to believe it.

Xu You was different from Ju Su. Although Yuan Shao appointed him as his chief strategist, he was not in charge of commanding troops or governing the people. His job was more to give Yuan Shao advice. It would be difficult for a person in such a position to be greedy for money.

Xu You looked as pale as death. If Yuan Shao didn't believe that his money was acquired through embezzlement, then he would be in great danger.

Seeing Xu You had no answer, Yuan Shao roared in anger.

"Come here, drag Xu You away and put him in the death row. I will deal with him after I defeat the enemy."

Upon hearing that Xu You was going to be punished, Guo Tu hurriedly stepped forward.

"My lord, Ziyuan loves money, we all know that the money in his house was obtained through embezzlement, so this seems possible.

Uncle Liu was a great hero of the world. He was cunning, resourceful and good at planning. When the two armies were confronting each other, it was not impossible that he sent people to frame Ziyuan in order to weaken his lord's strength.

Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, it would be disadvantageous for the army to imprison the counselor before defeating the enemy. Please think twice and spare Ziyuan for the time being."

Before Yuan Shao could answer, Cao Cao stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yuan, what you said makes sense. If you say that he betrayed you, I certainly don't believe it.

I have two reasons, please think twice, Mr. Yuan.

Ziyuan and Yuan Gong have known each other since childhood and have a very close relationship. He and Liu Huangshu are just acquaintances and have no friendship. A wise man would not surrender to a weak person just for the sake of friendship. This is the first reason.

Lord Yuan was very powerful, while Uncle Liu was weak. There were many people in the world who defected from the weak to the strong, but few who defected from the strong to the weak. This is the second reason.

Given these two points, I believe Ziyuan will never surrender to the enemy."

After being persuaded by the two, Yuan Shao hesitated for a while.

"Meng De's words make sense. Let me think about this matter again."

Ju Su saw that Yuan Shao was somewhat relentless, and he quickly said: "My lord, now the evidence is irrefutable, how can it be false?

Even if we take a step back and say that Xu You embezzled so much money, he has violated the law and should be imprisoned and punished according to the law."

Guo Tu advised, "My lord, the traitor is clearly a plot by Emperor Liu to sow discord. My lord, you must not trust it.

As for the corruption, we need to find out the source of the corruption before we can make a decision. In my opinion, it is better to let Ziyuan stay in the room temporarily and make a decision after we find out the truth. "

Yuan Shao pondered for a while, then slowly said: "In this case, then we should act according to Gongze's words. Ziyuan, you should stay in your room and reflect on your mistakes for a while. You are not allowed to leave the room without my order."

Upon hearing this, Xu You felt relieved, knowing that his life was temporarily saved.

He saluted Yuan Shao and walked towards the room under the protection of soldiers.

Under the sunshine, Xu You felt a little dazed, with mixed feelings in his heart that were indescribable.

No matter what, he never imagined that the lord he had chosen would one day suspect that he had defected to the enemy?

Xu You, Xu You, you pride yourself on your intelligence and wisdom, but you never expected to end up like this?
