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

Liu Yu was very stubborn about Guo Jia going into Yecheng alone. Although Guo Jia requested repeatedly, he was ruthlessly rejected by Liu Yu.

Guo Jia was helpless, but there was nothing he could do. Judging from his current condition, he really could not travel far.

But the actual situation is stuck here. If we can't go further, once the food and grass are exhausted, the outcome of this battle will no longer be in suspense.

At the beginning of the war, Liu Yu fully anticipated the difficulties he would face. When he actually faced them, he realized that they were many times more than he had anticipated.

Jizhou has a very profound foundation, and its talents, materials, and equipment are all top-notch.

Ever since the confrontation with Yuan Shao, he has been at a disadvantage.

Now that Yan Liang and Wen Chou have been killed, the situation has eased a little.

But Liu Yu knew that all of this was temporary, and only a devastating blow to Yuan Shao's food supply could the downward trend be reversed.

"Fengxiao, we can't wait any longer to go north to Yecheng. I think sending Gongyou will be able to do the job."

Liu Yu gave his own opinion. From the current perspective, Liu Yu has no other choice.

Guo Jia was a little worried and said, "My lord, I know Gongyou's talents. He is good at talking but not good at planning. I am worried that once things change, he will not be able to respond in time. I am afraid that all our plans will be wasted."

Liu Yu knew very well what Guo Jia said, that Sun Qian was indeed not the best candidate for this matter.

Judging from the difficulty of this matter and the situations that might be encountered, at present, only himself and Guo Jia are the most suitable people in the camp in Guandu.

If Guo Jia is not suitable to go, then I will be the only one left.

In Liu Yu's eyes, Yecheng was a den of dragons and tigers, where one could die if he was not careful. Naturally, he would not enter the city alone for the so-called chance of victory.

After Liu Yu came into this world and experienced countless bloody killings, his ideas changed, but no matter how much he changed, his fear of death did not change.

In Liu Yu's opinion, his safety is above everything else, and the phrase "sacrifice one's life for righteousness" cannot be found in Liu Yu's dictionary at all.

He is the opposite of Guo Jia, or more accurately, the opposite of the so-called scholars of this era. They may devote themselves to their ideals without hesitation, but Liu Yu will not.

But this did not affect Liu Yu's appreciation and affirmation of this behavior. He even believed that it was this kind of fearless and reckless behavior that allowed the Chinese nation to keep moving forward in the midst of storms and storms.

Liu Yu understood what Guo Jia meant and still hoped to persuade himself to go to Yecheng.

"Fengxiao, I know what you are thinking. I have said it before. Even if we are defeated at Guandu, I cannot let you take the risk alone."

"My lord, you are responsible for the safety of the Han Dynasty and are determined to revive it. Have you ever thought that if you fail, the revival of the Han Dynasty will be in vain and the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty will be cut off?"

"I know, if that is the case, then we can only say that God does not bless the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty is doomed."

"My lord, if we fail, countless soldiers will be beheaded and killed. By then, rivers of blood will flow and corpses will be scattered all over the ground."

"Yuan Shao has his sights set on conquering the world, so he will surely treat his soldiers well."

"My lord, if we fail, the people of Sizhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou will be displaced and die. By then, there will be thousands of starving people and bones exposed in the wild. My lord has always cared for the people, how can you tolerate this?"

"Yuan Shao cherishes his reputation, so the people will be safe."

Guo Jia stared into Liu Yu's eyes for a long time, then asked in a trembling voice, "For my own safety, my lord is willing to abandon the Han Dynasty, the soldiers, the people, everything?"

Liu Yu's eyes were clear, like the midday sun, bright and spotless.

"In my heart, filial piety is far better than this."

Guo Jia was so moved that he was speechless for a moment.

"Lord..."

My lord trusts me so much, I will repay him even if I die nine times.

How fortunate I, Guo Fengxiao, am to have met a wise leader!

Liu Yu's determination left Guo Jia speechless for a moment. The matter had reached a deadlock. Guo Jia had no choice but to get up and leave.

At this time, Xu Chu came over from the tent. He bowed and reported, "My lord, Xu You is outside the camp asking to see you."

"Who?" Liu Yu was stunned, fearing that he had heard wrongly.

"Xu You, Xu Ziyuan."

Liu Yu did not get up in a hurry, but took off his shoes and long gown calmly.

When Xu Chu saw Liu Yu's performance, he understood what was going on.

"My Lord, please go to bed first. I will capture him and torture him severely to see what his purpose is."

Torture? No way, I'm not doing this to sleep!

Liu Yu did not explain, but said softly: "Follow me to meet Xu You."

Xu Chu was a little confused. What was going on? Why did he take off his shoes and clothes before going to meet Xu You?

Liu Yu ignored Xu Chu who looked confused and walked out quickly.

With the light from the fire in the tent, he saw a man standing outside the tent from afar, looking around anxiously. Liu Yu took a few quick steps and saw that the man was Xu You, Xu Ziyuan.

He hurriedly shouted: "Ziyuan, it has been several years since we last met in Jizhou. Ziyuan is still as charming as ever, which makes an old friend very happy."

When Xu You saw that Liu Yu was in dishevel and without even shoes on, he roughly understood that the Emperor's uncle Liu had gone to bed.

He was dressed like this because he heard that I was coming and came here in a hurry.

Xu You felt emotional when he saw Liu Yu so anxious.

No wonder Emperor Liu was able to gather so many talented people in such a short period of time. With such an attitude of respecting the wise and humble, how many people in the world can do that?

He unconsciously compared himself with Yuan Shao, but found that Yuan Shao could not behave like Liu Bei. Although Yuan Shao appeared to be courteous and humble, he was actually full of pride and self-conceit in his bones.

The Yuan family's family background and status as three officials in four generations made it impossible for him to let go of his arrogance.

"Greetings to the Emperor's uncle. Xu You has nowhere else to go, so I come here to seek refuge. I hope the Emperor's uncle will take him in."

Liu Yu walked up quickly, took Xu You's hand, and said with a smile: "Ziyuan is a great talent in the world. With Ziyuan's help, great things will surely be accomplished."

After saying this, he took Xu You's hand and walked into the tent without further ado.

The two entered the tent and sat down as host and guest. Xu You sighed and said slowly, "Uncle Liu, it's all my fault that I, Xu You, didn't know how to judge people. I actually thought Yuan Shao was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. Who knew he had such a wicked ambition that he wanted to usurp the Han Dynasty and establish himself as the emperor?

After I gave him a few words of advice, he became suspicious of me and arrested all my family members.

I thought that after some time, Yuan Shao would let them go because of our old friendship, but who knew that Shen Pei would disregard the loyalty of his colleagues and write to Yuan Shao to impose heavy penalties on my family members. "

Liu Yu was somewhat puzzled and asked slowly, "Yuan Shao is also a great hero. How could he not understand Ziyuan's loyalty? It is indeed a bit blind to punish him like this."

"Uncle, you don't know that although Yuan Shao is still hesitant, he is trying to distance himself from me.

Seeing that I have lost my power, Shen Pei has severely tortured my family. I am afraid that it won’t be long before they die under the torture of that bastard Shen Pei.”

"Shen Pei is considered a famous scholar, how could he be so unscrupulous?"
