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

Hearing the words "promotion", Xu You seemed somewhat interested.

Uncle Liu held the actual power of the Han Dynasty, and the so-called report to the emperor was just a formality.

"Since the emperor's uncle thinks highly of me, I will do my best."

Liu Yu laughed. He and Guo Jia had been planning for a while, trying to recruit Xu You through other means. The two had been planning for a long time, but were at a loss for a moment.

Who knew that at this time, Xu You suddenly came by himself, which was like a timely help to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu exchanged pleasantries with Xu You again, and then had someone arrange accommodation for Xu You.

After leaving Liu Yu's tent, Xu You felt a little emotional. The Uncle Liu he met this time was more confident and calm than the last time.

He is knowledgeable, insightful, respectful and humble. From any perspective, he has the demeanor of a wise leader.

Although the relatives of the Han Dynasty still occupied a certain status in this era, none of them had the temperament of Liu Yu.

Liu Biao held on to Jingzhou, watched the success or failure of the world, and made no achievements at all.

At the beginning of the war, Yuan Shao sent people to contact Liu Biao more than once, hoping that he could take advantage of the emptiness of Luoyang and raise an army from Jingzhou to attack Luoyang.

Liu Biao agreed very readily, but privately he did not send a single soldier out of Jingzhou.

If Liu Biao had done this, why would this battle take so long? The winner would have been decided long ago.

When Liu Zhang occupied Yizhou, his performance was not as good as Liu Biao. When Cao Cao's army attacked Hanzhong, any discerning person could see that his next plan must be Yizhou.

Huang Quan once advised Liu Zhang that Hanzhong was the gateway to Yizhou. Once Hanzhong was lost, Yizhou would be defenseless.

Huang Quan suggested that Liu Zhang give up his feud with Zhang Lu and quickly send troops to Yizhou to assist Zhang Lu.

Unfortunately, Liu Zhang did not listen. He believed that Cao Cao's attack on Hanzhong was like a fight between two tigers, and the final result would most likely be a loser for both sides. At that time, it would not be too late for him to send troops.

Xu You couldn't help but sigh, if everyone was as enterprising as Liu Yu and took it as his responsibility to revive the Han Dynasty, who in this world would dare to overstep their boundaries?

The next morning, Liu Yu found Guo Jia and told him that Xu You had come to surrender.

Guo Jia was slightly stunned, as if he could not accept this sudden news.

He walked slowly in the tent, his face lacking the joy and excitement that it should have.

Liu Yu noticed his strangeness and asked, "Does Fengxiao still have doubts in his heart?"

Guo Jia stopped and said slowly: "What Xu You said is reasonable and basically consistent with the information we have, but the more it is like this, the more uneasy I feel."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu understood Guo Jia's worries. Guo Jia was right. Just when he was about to fall asleep, someone brought him a pillow. This was indeed too much of a coincidence.

Liu Yu replayed the process of his meeting Xu You in his mind.

Didn't find anything unusual, Xu You was surprised when he should be surprised, and grateful when he should be grateful...

And Xu You's surrender also fits Liu Yu's unique memories of his previous life.

Everything is in accordance with the law of development of things...

Liu Yu fell into deep thought. Apart from the fact that it was too coincidental, Liu Yu did not think of any suspicious points.

Guo Jia was still pacing in the tent. He was like a poisonous snake deep in the forest, constantly catching the scent of its prey. After a long time, Guo Jia suddenly asked, "My lord, did Xu You mention the letter that caused him to embezzle? Or did he show any complaint?"

Liu Yu shook his head.

"Xu You has always been very respectful, even a little humble, and he never complained from beginning to end."

There was a flash of light in Guo Jia's eyes, as if he had caught a ray of light in the dark night.

"The letter he embezzled was planned by us. It is impossible for Xu You not to know about this. Even if he is broad-minded, he will inevitably have some complaints in his heart. But he did not mention anything about what happened that day. I am afraid that he did not forget it, but deliberately concealed it.

I think he hid this emotion in order to better gain the trust of his lord.

After we used a trick to kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou, we always felt very strange. The reason was that Yuan Shao was too quiet.

It stands to reason that he could not remain indifferent when two of his generals were killed. Even if it was just bluffing, he never did it, which was obviously not in line with Yuan Shao's habits.

Now it seems that he has been slow to act in order to set up Xu You's move."

The more Guo Jia analyzed, the greater the possibility that Xu You was pretending to surrender.

"The most urgent task is to confirm Xu You's identity as soon as possible so that we can arrange the next plan."

"Since Xu You has come to seek refuge, he must be fully prepared. It is impossible to determine his intentions in a short period of time.

But since Xu You provided the password, we can use it to actively win opportunities for ourselves."

"Feng Xiao wants to pass off the fake as the real thing?"

"That's right." Guo Jia smiled faintly, "If Xu You really wants to surrender, it will have no impact on the war situation. But if he is pretending to surrender, we will definitely be able to see the flaws."

The two came to the sand table and began to study the strategy of sending troops. After a long time of deduction, they felt that there were no omissions in everything. Guo Jia slowly said: "With this layout, even if Xu You is pretending to surrender, it can be guaranteed to be foolproof."

Liu Yu nodded, and that night he led 5,000 cavalrymen under the banner of Yuan army and headed for Wuchao overnight. Along the way, he was interrogated several times, and Xu Yousong answered them all.

Looking at the crisscrossing rivers not far away, Xu You knew that they had arrived at Wuchao.

Liu Yu ordered his soldiers to stop advancing. Xu You thought Liu Yu was trying to identify the direction, so he hurried to Liu Yu's side, pointed to a place and said, "Uncle, please look. After crossing this river, go east for three or four miles and you will see that deep pit. Yuan Shao's food and grass are hidden in it. As long as Uncle Liu leads his men to charge over, he will surely achieve success."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei's eyes showed a bit of fanaticism.

"Uncle, let me lead the charge. I promise that we can attack the grain and forage in one go and burn all of Yuan Shao's grain and forage."

Liu Yu said slowly: "Yide, we have already reached Wuchao. Don't worry for now. Order everyone to stay where they are. No one is allowed to move out without my order."

Seeing that Liu Yu spoke seriously, everyone obeyed the order.

Zhao Yun dismounted from his horse without saying a word. He sat on the grass and wiped the spear in his hand.

Xu Chu was silent and calm, following Liu Yu closely and looking around vigilantly.

Although Zhang Fei was eager to fight, he did not dare to say much. He could only pace back and forth to relieve his impatience.

Xu You looked a little puzzled. He didn't understand why Liu Yu suddenly stopped.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Xu You could no longer bear it. He could not help but say, "The enemy is very close. If the emperor does not seize the time to launch a surprise attack, once they are alerted, it will be too late to regret it!"
