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

Liu Yu deployed his troops at Guandu, causing Yuan Shao to panic.

In his original idea, Liu Biao and Liu Yu would inevitably have a great battle in Xinye. Yuan Shao did not care who would win or lose in this battle, but he was sure that this battle would be a protracted war.

Now that Yuan Shao's elite troops have been destroyed, the territory has also been disturbed by the pawns arranged by Liu Yu, causing unrest.

What he needed now was time. With just half a year, he could quell the unrest in the country. With a year, he could recover.

He thought that Liu Biao's attack would give him this opportunity.

Who would have thought that Uncle Liu would use extraordinary means and reach a strategic alliance with Jiangdong in just a few days.

With Jiangdong constantly deploying troops, Liu Biao did not even hold out for half a month before he had to redeploy his soldiers.

The crisis in Liu Huangshu's rear was resolved, and he led his troops to station in Guandu again.

Yuan Shao knew that this time, there would be no turning back.

Although Yuan Shao felt helpless, he had no choice but to send troops to fight. The outcome of the battle soon reached Yecheng.

A miserable defeat, a miserable defeat, and a miserable defeat.

When Yuan Shao received the battle report, the contents were surprisingly consistent, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Is God going to destroy our Yuan family?"

After saying this, Yuan Shao fainted.

Yuan Shao's illness worsened. He coughed up blood all day long and fell into coma more and more often.

In a luxurious house in Yecheng, Shen Pei looked serious and anxious as he looked at Yuan Shao lying on the bed.

Shen Pei believed that although Jizhou was defeated, it was not hopeless. As long as Yuan Shao could recover from his illness and work hard to govern the country, it would not take long before the defeat was completely reversed.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shao never had the chance to stand up again since the last time he fainted.

The famous doctors in Yecheng lined up to treat Yuan Shao at his mansion, and the conclusions they reached were surprisingly consistent.

Excessive worry cannot be cured by medicine, Yuan Shao can only digest it slowly.

Sitting on Yuan Shao's bed was a woman in palace dress. She was quite beautiful. She looked at Yuan Shao with a sad face, but there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

After waiting for a long time, she stood up and walked out. Shen Pei saw the questioning look in his eyes and hurriedly followed her out.

The two of them walked all the way to Yuan Shao's study, and the woman in palace dress slowly stopped and asked, "The situation is like this. If the monarch cannot be saved and the position of the crown prince is vacant, how should Lord Shen deal with it?"

Shen Pei bowed and responded, "Madam, rest assured. The lord made you stay in Yecheng that day, which showed his attitude. Even if the lord cannot recover, we should make you the lord of Jizhou."

After hearing this, the woman in palace dress finally calmed down a little from her worried look.

"Although Yuan Tan is in Qingzhou, he is eyeing the lord of Jizhou covetously. He has many soldiers under his command, and Guo Tu is plotting beside him. What if he disobeys the general's orders?"

"Guo Tu is just a corrupt scholar, and there is no need to worry about him. If Qingzhou does not obey the general's order, I will definitely lead the soldiers to destroy Qingzhou."

"With Lord Shen's presence, my son has nothing to worry about!"

While the two were talking, a servant suddenly came to report that Yuan Shao had woken up.

The two men hurried back to Yuan Shao, only to find that Yuan Shao had indeed opened his eyes, but his eyes were dazed and it was obvious that the situation was not optimistic.

This was the first time Yuan Shao woke up after his coma. Under the gaze of Madam Liu, Shen Pei plucked up the courage to come before Yuan Shao.

"Can you still be my descendant?"

Yuan Shao raised his fingers slightly, but could not speak.

Shen Pei was helpless about this. If Yuan Shao did not agree, Yuan Shang's position would be unstable.

But Shen Pei seemed to understand what Yuan Shao meant from his eyes, and he hurriedly wrote his will in front of Yuan Shao. However, before he finished writing the will, Yuan Shao screamed, vomited blood and died.

When Yuan Shao died, his eyes were wide open, full of resentment.

Yuan Shao was not born of a legitimate wife, but by chance he inherited the family business.

He showed extraordinary ambition since he was a child. He believed that by building on the foundation of the Yuan family, he could bring the Yuan family to another level.

During the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, he drew his sword in front of Dong Zhuo, pointed the sword at Dong Zhuo, uttered those heart-wrenching words, and then bowed and walked out.

After leaving Luoyang, his determination to achieve great things became even stronger.

The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap.

When attacking Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao took the lead and was regarded as the leader of the alliance. He led the heroes to besiege Dong Zhuo. Although he did not kill Dong Zhuo, he made Dong Zhuo extremely frightened and finally fled to Chang'an.

Later, Yuan Shao took over Jizhou, occupied Bingzhou and Qingzhou, defeated Gongsun Zan, and occupied Youzhou.

At this point, Yuan Shao's power reached its peak, and he controlled four of the thirteen states. What kind of power was this?

He thought he could easily defeat Liu Yu and rule the world, but who knew that a fire in Wuchao would turn everything into ashes.

Yuan Shao is gone, but the living must continue.

Shen Pei appointed Yuan Shang as Grand Marshal and General, in charge of the four states.

……

……

Outside Neihuang City, Liu Yu stood in front of the formation. Behind him, countless soldiers in bright armor, with shining swords, stood in neat and solemn formation with calm expressions.

Liu Yu waved his arms slowly.

"Siege!"

"Destroy the enemy!"

As soon as the order was given, the army attacked the city of Neihuang like a tide.

Neihuang City was not big, and with the powerful attack of Liu Yu's soldiers, it only took one hour to capture the city.

After a brief rest, Liu Yu prepared to lead his troops north to take Yecheng directly.

Neihuang and Yecheng are only a little over a hundred miles apart. According to Liu Yu's calculations, it would take less than two days to deploy troops outside Yecheng. At this time, Guo Jia brought the news of Yuan Shao's death.

Liu Yu was somewhat silent about Yuan Shao's death.

After a while, Liu Yu asked, "Fengxiao, what do you think about this matter?"

"Deposing the eldest son and enthroning the youngest has always been a recipe for chaos. Yuan Shao enthroned Yuan Shang as his leader, but how could his eldest son Yuan Tan agree? Next, there will be a war between the two of them without us having to do anything."

"Fengxiao means that we should withdraw our troops temporarily?"

"We are very close to Yecheng now. It is not the right time to retreat. We should send troops to Yecheng first. If we can win the battle in Yecheng, we can take it.

If we cannot take it, we will cut the wound between the brothers and make the scar between them bigger. "

The army soon arrived at Yecheng. Liu Yu looked at the towering city walls in silence.

Liu Yu was not in a hurry to attack, but sent people to shout on the city wall.

The one who came out was Shen Pei, the tough guy from Jizhou. He looked at the huge army with a bit of anxiety on his face, but he did not surrender.

Liu Yu rode on his horse, looked at Shen Pei and said, "Yuan Benchu's millions of elite troops were all killed by me. Now the situation is clear, even a child can tell. Shen Zhengnan is a famous scholar in Jizhou, how could he not see the benefits and harms?

If Shen Zhengnan can surrender, I will report this to Your Majesty and appoint him as a general and confer a title of nobility on him.

By then, Shen Zhengnan will have achieved success and fame, and he can also save his soldiers from being slaughtered. Isn't this exactly what you are pursuing?"
