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

Looking at Pingyuan City not far away, Liu Yu's thoughts moved slightly. When he went north to serve the king with the emperor's edict, he passed by this county town.

In Pingyuan County, he met the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang, who were drinking and talking happily about heroes all over the world.

After Guan Yu heard that he had saved the emperor alone, he wanted to compete with him.

With his eloquent speech, he persuaded the three brothers and asked them to go to Nanpi together.

At that time, he was outnumbered and had no more than a hundred cavalrymen under his command.

But now, the number of cavalry under his command has exceeded 10,000. Such a contrast makes Liu Yu feel as if he is in a different world.

After calming down, Liu Yu quickly ordered his soldiers to encircle Pingyuan County. Then Liu Yu looked at Pingyuan City not far away and asked Xu Chu to go and make a call.

Xu Chu, dressed in armor, rode his horse to the foot of Pingyuan City.

He shouted loudly: "Yuan Tan, if you surrender now, you can still be a duke. If you dare to be stubborn and refuse to surrender, I will destroy this city and make sure that there is no trace of your body left."

Hearing Xu Chu's shout, Yuan Tan on the city wall looked as pale as death.

After being defeated by Yuan Shang, Yuan Tan fled all the way to Pingyuan City and used the terrain advantage to snipe Yuan Shang.

The strength of the two teams was not much different. Although Yuan Shang was anxious, he did not step into Pingyuan City.

Yuan Tan stood on the city wall and witnessed the attack power of Liu Yu's cavalry with his own eyes. If he had been with his men under the city at that time, he would have fled like Yuan Shang.

Pingyuan City is just a small city, and its city wall is not as strong as that of Yecheng. It is called a city wall, but it is just a half-person-high adobe wall. Such a city wall cannot withstand the fierce cavalry attack.

"Sir, you have extraordinary wisdom and ideas. What should we do now?"

Guo Tu was a little confused. In the current situation, what strategy did he have?

Either hold on, or flee, or...

Given the powerful attacking force under Emperor Liu, it would be unrealistic to hold on. Once the cavalry launched a charge, the low walls would not be able to withstand the powerful attack of the cavalry.

If he ran for his life, he would have no chance of survival as the cavalry were chasing him.

After all the calculations, there is only one way to survive.

"Sir, Uncle Liu is very powerful. Why don't we go to him first and then make plans."

"Surrender to the enemy?" Yuan Tan was stunned. Whether to fight or to defend, the idea of ​​surrendering to the enemy had never appeared in his mind.

He is Yuan Shao's legitimate son, with Yuan family blood flowing in his veins. In his heart, he has always been proud of the Yuan family.

People in the Yuan family were born to be leaders, to rule the local area and build achievements. There was no need for them to do something like surrender.

Guo Tu looked at Yuan Tan's face and understood what he meant.

He began to make amends between words.

"My Lord, I asked you to surrender to the enemy, not to really surrender, but to pretend to surrender. Once Uncle Liu lets down his guard, we can regroup.

In the past, Gou Jian was defeated and captured. He served Wu and endured hardships. Finally, he defeated Wu in one battle and achieved hegemony.

He is the king of a country, and yet he is like this, let alone you, the prince?

Sir, you must not act on impulse and endanger your own life."

Although Guo Tu seemed to be advising Yuan Tan, he was actually considering himself more at this time. He was really afraid that Yuan Tan, who was young and loyal, would fight to the death with Uncle Liu.

If you lose the war, your life might be in danger.

When Yuan Tan heard this, the resistance on his face suddenly faded a little. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Sir, your words make sense. It's me who was not calm enough. In this case, I will temporarily submit to Uncle Liu and seek development."

Ever since Feng Ji was followed into the military camp by Yuan Tan, he has been kept by Yuan Tan's side. When he heard that Yuan Tan was going to surrender to Liu Huangshu, he was shocked.

"Sir, you must not surrender to Uncle Liu! Uncle Liu is such a man, he is extremely talented and wise, how could he see through your false intention of surrendering? I think if you surrender and behave yourself, you can still keep your wealth and position, but if you have other intentions, you may lose your life!

"Guo Tu's plan is absurd, you must not believe it!"

In Feng Ji's eyes, Yuan Tan was just a young man from an aristocratic family. He had always lived a peaceful life under the protection of Yuan Shao. How could he have ever seen such a big storm?

Liu Yu was an old fox. What good would it do for a young master to come to the old fox's territory and challenge his authority?

Without waiting for Yuan Tan to speak, Guo Tu smiled coldly and said, "Feng Ji, I always consider you, but you actually say that I have evil intentions. It's ridiculous. Liu Huangshu is powerful and we can't match him. What should we do according to your opinion?"

Feng Ji said, "Now if you want to maintain your dignity, there is only one way to go, that is to leave a group of loyal and brave men to block Emperor Liu, and you lead the light cavalry to escape quickly from behind. In this way, there is a glimmer of hope."

Guo Tu snorted coldly, his eyes full of mockery and disdain.

"With only a glimmer of hope, you dare to let the young master take risks alone. What are you thinking? Are you hoping that the young master will resist and die at the hands of Uncle Liu, so that you can seek credit for it from Yuan Shang?"

Guo Tu's words were very cruel. He directly pushed Feng Ji to the opposite side through his political stance.

Once your stance is wrong, even if your opinion is correct, it will hardly have any effect.

Yuan Tan was still pondering Feng Ji's suggestion, but when he heard Guo Tu's words, his expression changed instantly.

"Feng Ji, you have evil intentions. You still want to use evil tricks to kill me. Do you really think I have no sword in my hand? Come, take Feng Ji away and kill him directly. I want to use his head to prove my sincerity in surrendering to you."

Feng Ji obviously did not expect that things would develop to this point. His few words of advice were slandered by Guo Tu and he lost his life.

He wanted to beg for mercy, but found that the words were on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't say them no matter what.

Thinking that Tian Feng was killed by Yuan Shao because of his slander, Feng Ji couldn't help but reveal a hint of sneer on his face.

"Today's disaster is really retribution, Tian Yuanhao, I will apologize for your crime in the underworld."

Guo Tu looked at Feng Ji, who had suddenly realized the truth, and a smile appeared on his face.

This smile caught Feng Ji's eyes and immediately made him furious.

"Guo Tu, you corrupt scholar, must die, must die..."

Feng Ji was dragged away by the soldiers, and the sound became farther and farther away.

With a scream, Feng Ji's head fell to the ground, and he also disappeared in the long river of history.

The low city gate slowly opened, and Yuan Tan and Guo Tu walked out of the gate.

The two men slowly came in front of Liu Yu and bowed down.

"Yuan Tan has come to seek refuge with Uncle Liu. I hope Uncle Liu will forgive us and take us in. I am willing to serve him and do my best for him in the future."

Yuan Tan's words were specifically told to him by Guo Tu. Although he had practiced them several times, they still sounded very stiff.
