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

"This is also a good idea. Oh no..." Guo Tu seemed to have thought of something, and a trace of despair appeared in his eyes. "I finally figured out why Emperor Liu wanted to rest here for a few days. It turns out that he wanted to take advantage of this time to quickly occupy Qingzhou."

Guo Tu slapped his thigh anxiously, sighed and said, "When the lord was alive, he once said that Liu Huangshu was as cunning as a fox and should not be underestimated. Until today, I understand that what the lord said makes sense. Liu Huangshu has planned everything in a short period of time, so he can take the lead in everything. With such wisdom, who in the world can be a rival!

Our plan to return to Bingzhou has been completely blocked by Uncle Liu. Now we can only go to Bingzhou first and then make plans."

Yuan Tan remained silent, and at this moment he felt even more desperate than Guo Tu.

Before surrendering, he was the ruler; after surrendering, he, like Guo Tu, was a subject.

He was filled with resentment, but could only endure it silently.

Just as Guo Tu said, now we have no choice but to go to Bingzhou first and then make plans.

Having made up his mind, he prepared to go to Uncle Liu to tell him his idea.

At this time, Guo Tu grabbed him and advised, "Sir, since Uncle Liu said he would discuss it with you in a few days, it would be hard to get any result even if you go to him now. Why don't we wait slowly?"

"Uncle Liu is so insidious, it's really infuriating." Yuan Tan felt aggrieved and full of pride. "If it doesn't work, I will organize troops and attack Uncle Liu tonight while they are relaxed."

Guo Tu also thought that this plan was feasible. After all, people are most likely to relax their vigilance when they are drunk.

"If we want to launch a surprise attack tonight, the most important thing is to get those generals drunk. If they are not drunk, they must not act."

Guo Tu's meaning was very clear. Although Uncle Liu was extremely intelligent, he was not proficient in martial arts. On the contrary, the generals under his command were all good at fighting and very brave. As long as he could get a few of them drunk, he would surely succeed in one fell swoop.

The banquet was held as scheduled. At the banquet, Liu Yu once again highly praised Yuan Tan's behavior, saying that his surrender made an outstanding contribution to the stability of the four northern states.

Yuan Tan also thanked Liu Yu for his concern and encouragement, and said that he would continue to work hard and make new contributions in the future.

The banquet was held in a warm atmosphere.

Everyone started to clink glasses and drink sip by sip.

The generals under Yuan Tan were very active in this process. They toasted Huang Zhong and others one after another. Huang Zhong accepted all the toasts and drank them one sip after another.

The more Yuan Tan drank, the more he felt that something was wrong. His original plan was to get the people under Liu Yu drunk.

Unfortunately, after drinking for a long time, the soldiers under Emperor Liu were full of energy and not drunk at all. On the contrary, more than half of his own generals had already fallen down.

This result was obviously beyond Yuan Tan's expectations. After a while, even he fell to the ground.

Since there was an operation tonight, Guo Tu didn't drink much this time, but he was keenly aware that there was no way this operation would succeed.

Although Liu Yu had a smile on his face and looked harmless, Guo Tu had a vague feeling that Uncle Liu had made complete preparations, and if they were to take action, they would be ruthlessly killed.

After the banquet, Liu Yu still did not leave, but sat on the couch, thinking slowly.

Xu Chu stood beside him like an iron tower.

From Liu Yu's perspective, his tall figure seemed to be able to connect to the sky.

Xu Chu didn't drink a drop of alcohol today. He remained sober and cautious. He was a little puzzled about Liu Yu's plan.

He thought for a while, then slowly asked: "My Lord, since we have tampered with the wine, why don't we take this opportunity to let them act, and then kill them all."

Liu Yu drank a few glasses of wine, but there was no sign of drunkenness on his face.

"As soon as Yuan Tan surrendered, I killed him. Regardless of whether they were the first to do so, they will be used by those with ulterior motives.

At this moment, the four northern states are still undecided, and many people still care about the Yuan family. We need to use Yuan Tan's prestige to digest all this, so he is more valuable alive than dead. "

Xu Chu understood and realized the meaning of Liu Yu asking them to add water to the wine. However, in Xu Chu's opinion, this was too unpleasant. It didn't matter if Jizhou and other places were dissatisfied. He would just beat them until they submitted.

It is obvious that Emperor Liu did not think that force could solve all problems. As he often said, in the art of war, attacking the heart is better than attacking the city. Psychological warfare is better than physical warfare.

The next morning, Yuan Tan woke up in a daze, feeling a splitting headache and blurry eyes. He drank several bowls of hot soup before he regained some energy.

"Liu Huangshu's soldiers are too alcoholic. This trick has no effect at all."

Guo Tu stood aside, thinking all the time. When he heard his question, he slowly said, "Uncle Liu is quite cautious. It is obvious that he had made preparations when the banquet started. If we had made any unusual moves last night, we would probably be beheaded by now."

"Uncle Liu has been prepared for this. Could it be that he wants to kill us?"

"From the current situation, Uncle Liu has no such intention, otherwise last night would have been the best opportunity."

Yuan Tan recalled yesterday's situation and couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart. Guo Tu was right. Most of the generals under his command were unconscious yesterday. Now must be the best time to take action.

"Do we still have a chance next?" Yuan Tan asked the key question.

Guo Tu shook his head, his expression very determined and sure.

"We no longer have any chance in Pingyuan County. We can only act randomly after we get to Bingzhou."

Since there was no target to attack, life went relatively smoothly. Yuan Tan spent the whole day drinking and listening to music, and his life was quite leisurely.

After ten days or so, Liu Yu announced that the repairs were complete and asked Yuan Tan to lead his troops to Bingzhou.

Yuan Tan did not hesitate at all. After receiving the order, he quickly left with Guo Tu and others.

Before leaving, Guo Tu glanced at Liu Yu. Seeing his indifferent expression and smile on his face, Guo Tu couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

It is obvious that within these ten days or so, Uncle Liu quietly completed all the arrangements in Qingzhou.

Guo Tu had a long history of human affairs and was quite good at observing people's words and expressions, but as for Liu Yu, Guo Tu had observed him for a long time and still couldn't figure him out.

This young man seemed to possess endless secrets. His every move was calm and effortless, yet he often achieved miraculous results.

After the Battle of Cangting, Yuan Shao lost all his elite troops and withdrew almost all of his forces from Yanzhou.

Emperor Liu also took over Yanzhou without any troops, and now with Qingzhou, he has completely occupied the five states. If the situation continues to develop, it won't be long before Jizhou and Youzhou will also fall into his hands.

He occupies half of the thirteen states in the world. Who can stop such power?
