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

Liu Yu slowly stepped into Jingzhou City. The morning light had already shone through the clouds onto the earth, illuminating the entire city brightly and clearly.

However, this once prosperous and bustling city is now filled with an atmosphere of tension and solemnity.

Last night, Guan Yu led the elite cavalry and, with the help of Lu Su, rushed into Xiangyang City like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade was waving in the air, and the blade, flashing with cold light, cut through the void like lightning, leaving behind a series of dazzling afterimages.

Each afterimage carried endless murderous intent and power, ruthlessly tearing through the air and killing the soldiers standing in front of it.

The screams that rang out in Xiangyang City were obviously particularly harsh in the middle of the night.

Blood was splattered all over the street, and under the light of the fire, it formed a bloody and terrifying picture.

The Red Hare is extremely majestic, and its fur is as bright and dazzling as a burning flame.

From a distance, the Red Hare looks like a ball of burning fire. When it gallops, it creates a gust of hot wind, which shocks and amazes people.

At this moment, Guan Yu was like a god of death returning from hell, exuding a terrifying aura.

Those piercing eyes revealed an unparalleled sense of arrogance.

The Qinglong Yanyue Sword tightly held in his hand became a symbol of death.

No matter who it is, anyone who dares to stand in his way will face the fate of being beheaded.

Cai Mao did not believe that Guan Yu would be so brave, so he brought elite soldiers from Jingzhou to stop Guan Yu. He believed that even if Guan Yu was brave, it would be difficult to make up for the disadvantage in numbers.

But the reality was beyond his expectation. Guan Yu galloped on his horse, and his Red Hare soared into the air like a high-speed flying arrow, and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Cai Mao obviously did not expect that the Red Hare would be so powerful. He was shocked and raised his weapon to fight back.

Guan Yu's eyes were cold and arrogant, and he swung his Green Dragon Crescent Blade lightly, beheading Cai Mao.

"Cai Mao is dead. Those who surrender will be spared!"

Seeing how brave and courageous Guan Yu was, the soldiers dared not resist anymore. They put down their weapons one after another and expressed their submission!

Guan Yu did not stop, but led his soldiers to rush quickly towards Liu Biao's mansion. With Liu Biao being captured, the fierce battle in Xiangyang City came to an end.

At this point, it seemed that there was no effective resistance force in Xiangyang City, at least on the surface.

When Liu Yu arrived at the place where Liu Biao was imprisoned, he saw the man in front of him - the once majestic and powerful hero who now looked extremely haggard and dejected.

The former spirit is long gone, replaced by a face full of fatigue and helplessness.

Liu Biao raised his head and his eyes fell on Liu Yu.

What a pair of eyes! They no longer had the fortitude and courage of the past, but were instead filled with resignation to fate and a desire to survive.

He just silently watched the high-spirited Liu Yu, with a barely perceptible pleading look in his eyes.

"Uncle! I was really confused for a moment and accidentally believed Cai Mao's treacherous words. This is why I made a big mistake!

I also ask my uncle to spare my life for the sake of our common bloodline of the Liu family!"

Liu Biao's face was solemn and his voice was low and earnest.

However, Liu Yu simply responded calmly: "At this point, you have been defeated and captured, and you just remembered that you are a descendant of the Liu family.

Back then, when the emperor was suffering and was forced by Dong Zhuo to flee and have no place to live, you did not think of rescuing him, but instead defended Jingzhou and watched the outcome! At that time, did you ever think that you were a descendant of the Liu family?

As the Han Dynasty declined, various princes rose up and fought against each other. Instead of thinking about how to restore the unity of the Han Dynasty, you only wanted to dream of becoming a king or emperor in this small place of Jingzhou. At this time, did you ever think that you were a descendant of the Liu family?

Ever since I conquered Jiangdong, I have sent messengers to persuade and enlighten you many times, simply hoping that you can clearly realize your identity and responsibility as a relative of the Han royal family, stop the war, and lay down your weapons.

But what about you? Not only did you not appreciate it, but you secretly colluded with Cao Cao and led your army to defend the city, trying to echo Cao Cao from afar, support each other, and jointly fight against the Han Dynasty.

At this time, have you ever thought that you are a descendant of the Liu family? "

Liu Yu's words were so powerful that they were like a sword piercing Liu Biao's heart, rendering the normally eloquent Liu Biao speechless for a moment.

Liu Biao's face turned red like a ripe apple. His eyes flickered and he looked left and right. It was obvious that Liu Yu's words had hit him hard. Every word pierced his heart like a sharp blade.

"Uncle, I...I..." Liu Biao stuttered, his lips trembling slightly, but he was unable to express what he was thinking smoothly.

Cold sweat dripped down his forehead and his hands were unconsciously twisted together. He looked extremely nervous and frightened.

After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence with difficulty: "Does the emperor's uncle really want to take my life?"

Liu Yu's face was as gloomy as water, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He responded coldly: "For behavior like yours, the court has its own laws! As for whether your life can be saved, it all depends on whether the laws of our ancestors can be lenient to you. Come, quickly escort Liu Biao and his entire family to Luoyang and hand them over to the officials for trial and conviction according to the law."

Hearing these words, Liu Biao's eyes instantly became dim, revealing a deep despair.

He knew very well that if he really allowed the officials in charge of the law to judge his crimes, not only would he be put to death, but even his wife, children, and relatives would be implicated, and he would end up in a miserable situation.

Thinking of this, Liu Biao felt his legs go weak and he could hardly stand. He seemed to have lost all his strength at once.

But when he saw Liu Yu's sharp and serious eyes, Liu Biao instantly understood that it was useless to beg at this moment.

Several strong soldiers came in one after another. They grabbed Liu Biao's arms mercilessly and dragged him out.

As the soldiers walked away and Liu Biao gradually disappeared outside the door, the room fell into a brief silence.

After all this was settled, Guo Jia, with a faint smile on his face, asked Liu Yu: "My lord, you have always been known throughout the world for your generosity and kindness, but why are you so ruthless to Liu Biao this time?

Based on my understanding of you, my lord, I originally thought that you would comfort Liu Biao with kind words and then send him to Luoyang so that he can spend his old age in peace."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu showed a trace of indifferent worry and said slowly: "Since we defeated Liu Biao, the threat we are facing now is only one.

If we defeat Cao Cao and reunite the Han Dynasty, law and order should reappear in the court.

If I do everything according to my personal preferences and at will, without regard for laws and regulations, even if I can successfully revive the Han Dynasty, how long can such a Han Dynasty last? "

Guo Jia nodded slightly, secretly praising him. He looked admiring, and said, "My lord, you are really far-sighted! You can foresee the opportunities in every matter, which really makes me admire you."

Hearing this, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile slightly, waved his hand and said: "Feng Xiao, why do you and I need to be so flattering?

If Cao Cao failed to capture Chang'an, he would have no choice but to retreat to Yizhou and hide in the city for defense.

Fengxiao, do you still remember that when Wen Ruo surrendered, we had already seen through Cao Cao's plot - what he coveted was nothing more than Hanzhong and Yizhou.

Therefore, from then on, we secretly placed several key chess pieces in Yizhou.

Now the time has come for these hidden chess pieces to come into play.”

Guo Jia's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a confident and calm smile, and said slowly: "How could I forget this matter? Now our troops are strong and powerful, and with the help of these forces, it will not take too long to break through the land of Yizhou.

If I can witness my lord accomplish the great feat of unifying the world in my lifetime, I will have no regrets even if I die!"

Hearing Guo Jia talking about such topics, even Liu Yu, who had experienced countless life and death tests, couldn't help but feel a little sad.

On the eve of the attack on Jiangdong, Liu Yu specially invited the genius doctor Hua Tuo to diagnose Guo Jia's condition.

At that time, Hua Tuo asserted that if Guo Jia continued to work so hard and worry so much, he would only have one year left to live.

However, if you cultivate your character from now on, stop worrying about worldly affairs, and take care of your body, you will have at least another ten years of life to live.

However, Guo Jia was completely focused on assisting Liu Yu in pacifying the world and had no time to take care of his own rest.

Therefore, all Liu Yu can do at this moment is to put all his effort into sweeping across the world at lightning speed.

Only in this way can Guo Jia be given a chance to recuperate and enjoy the rest of his life.

Because of this, when Cao Cao led his army to attack Chang'an, even though Liu Yu faced tremendous pressure and difficult choices, he was always unwilling to give up the results he had achieved in Jiangdong.

This is because he knew very well that only by ending the chaos and conflicts as soon as possible could Guo Jia be freed from the heavy military duties and find a moment of peace and well-being.

"Fengxiao! Now that Jingzhou has been pacified, I am thinking of something important. I plan to let Yunchang take charge of this important place of Jingzhou for the time being. What do you think about this?"

Liu Yu frowned slightly and stared at Guo Jia, waiting for his opinion.

Guo Jia bowed and responded respectfully: "My lord, in my opinion, General Yunchang is loyal, brave and fearless, and there is nothing wrong with him being the commander of Jingzhou.

Yunchang charged into battle and killed countless enemies. His great military exploits are well known to everyone. Such a loyal and brave man will surely keep Jingzhou safe."

"What Fengxiao said makes a lot of sense. Speaking of loyalty and bravery, there are only a few people in the world today who can compare with Yunchang!

However, it is precisely because Yunchang is too loyal and brave that I feel a little worried.

Although Jingzhou has just surrendered and everything seems calm, there are actually undercurrents.

You know, Liu Biao has been doing business here for many years and has a deep foundation. Many of the local aristocratic families are willing to submit to him.

As for Yunchang's temperament, Fengxiao, you also know him. He has always been quite arrogant towards his opponents, but he never bullies the weak; he is not afraid of powerful enemies. However, if these aristocratic families are unwilling to truly submit to us, given Yunchang's temper, he will certainly not show mercy.

In this case, if a fierce conflict occurs between the two sides, it will inevitably have an adverse impact on our subsequent action plan to seize Yizhou.

Therefore, after careful consideration, I decided to let you stay in Jingzhou. Assist Yunchang to properly handle the relationship and affairs with the aristocratic families. I wonder what Fengxiao thinks of this matter? "

A helpless smile appeared on Guo Jia's face.

He shook his head gently, bowed to Liu Yu and said: "My lord, you also know that I, Guo Jia, have always been a bohemian person, and I have never paid attention to those red tape and rules.

It is precisely because of this that my style of doing things makes those aristocratic families quite disgusted with me.

In comparison, Lu Zijing seemed particularly good at dealing with this matter.

If we can keep him here, I'm sure many of the current problems will be solved."

After listening to Guo Jia's suggestion, Liu Yu did not think twice, but shook his head firmly and responded: "Zijing is indeed outstanding in handling these matters, but he is currently responsible for other important matters and cannot stay in Jingzhou."

Hearing Liu Yu's words, Guo Jia could not help but fall into a brief silence. For a moment, the whole room was so quiet that only the gentle breathing of the two people could be heard.

After a long while, Guo Jia spoke again slowly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, you let me stay here to guard Jingzhou, just to give me a safe environment to recuperate, right?"

After saying that, he raised his head and looked straight at Liu Yu, with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes.

Seeing that Guo Jia could so easily see through his true thoughts deep in his heart, Liu Yu was stunned at first, but then he was relieved.

He knew very well that Guo Jia was extremely talented and it would not be easy to hide the truth from him.

So Liu Yu simply stopped trying to hide his true intentions.

Liu Yu took a deep breath, looked at Guo Jia sincerely and firmly, and slowly said: "The roads in Sichuan and Shu are winding and bumpy, and the difficulties and obstacles on the road are beyond imagination.

Moreover, the climate there is hot and humid, and there is often miasma. Such harsh environmental conditions are harmful to Feng Xiao's weak physical condition!

Therefore, regarding this expedition to Yizhou, Fengxiao should listen to my advice and stay in Jingzhou to recuperate!"

According to my current military strength and strategic deployment, Yizhou will be successfully pacified within three months."
