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

The sky was covered with dark clouds and heavy rain was pouring down.

Winter had long gone, but Li Ru still felt a biting chill.

He picked up the warmed wine and drank two glasses before he felt a little warmer.

Next to him, on the table, there was a plate of food and wine being warmed, making gurgling sounds.

Li Ru is waiting for others.

He looked out the window at the dark night, which was silent. After a long time, footsteps sounded in the yard, coming from far away and soon reaching the door.

"Master, Mr. Jia has arrived."

"Please come in quickly."

The door was pushed open, and wind and rain drifted into the house through the gap, and the lights flickered and were unsteady.

The wind is slightly chilly and the rain is slightly wet.

A man walked in from outside the door, he looked thin and had sharp eyes.

The door was closed again, blocking out the wind and rain, as well as the heaven and earth.

Jia Xu bowed and said, "Mr. Li, why did you call me here so late at night?"

Li Ru motioned Jia Xu to sit down and talk.

After Jia Xu took his seat, the two drank a few glasses of wine.

Li Ru said, "You and I planned to deliver the emperor's edict to Wang Yun. The next day, Wang Yun went to Liu Yu's house. The two talked for a long time. When Wang Yun came out, he looked relieved. I guess the emperor's edict must have been delivered to Liu Yu."

"Okay, now we just need to wait for Liu Yu to leave Luoyang, take the emperor's edict, contact the heroes, and go to the capital to defend the king. By then, the prime minister will wake up. We can defeat the heroes in one fell swoop and rule the world."

Li Ru took a sip of wine.

"Wenhe, do you know what Liu Yu has done these days after receiving the imperial edict?"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment.

"I guess they are buying supplies and preparing to leave Luoyang in the east?"

Li Ru shook his head.

"That means keeping the troops in place and observing the situation in the capital."

Li Ru continued to shake his head.

"Could it be that he is contacting the princes and ministers in the capital to gather strength? Lord Li, don't worry, those ministers have no soldiers, so there is no need to worry.

Li Ru still shook his head.

"Then Xu can't guess it. Please tell me clearly, Lord Li."

Li Ru sighed, "That's the weird thing. He didn't do any of these things. These days he either stayed at home and didn't go out, or he went straight to Fengxian's mansion."

Jia Xu was slightly startled, but didn't find it suspicious.

"Does Lord Li know why he went to General Lu's mansion?"

"Liu Yuxin has recruited a new guard and has gone to Fengxian to learn martial arts."

Jia Xu smiled slightly.

"I guess this guard is ignorant of the world and wants to see General Lu after hearing his reputation. This is a normal thing. Lord Li, why worry about it?"

Li Ru sighed slowly.

"Ru also knows that Fengxian is fond of martial arts, and martial arts competitions are common, but Liu Yu went there four times in a row because of the competitions."

Guarding the courtyard, he sought out Lu Bu to practice martial arts four times in a row.

Jia Xu knew very well how skilled Lü Fengxian was. He was highly skilled in martial arts and looked down upon all the generals in the world. Among all the generals he had met so far, none could withstand Fengxian's dozens of moves. How could this guard be able to make Lü Fengxian attack him four times?

This is indeed a bit abnormal, no wonder Li Ru seemed a little anxious.

"Mr. Li, could this information be wrong?"

"It can't be wrong, that's why Ru felt a little worried and asked Wenhe to come over to discuss it."

"Is Lord Li afraid that Liu Yu will take the emperor's edict to instigate a rebellion against General Lu?"

Li Ru looked worried.

"Ru is indeed worried about this. When the two of us planned this, Fengxian played a very important role in it. In the future, the responsibility of eliminating the princes of the world will inevitably fall on him. If Fengxian encounters an accident, the whole thing will be over."

Jia Xu pondered for a moment.

"General Lu is deeply trusted by the Prime Minister and will never betray him."

Li Ru said: "I know Fengxian is loyal, but Liu Yu is very wise, and I am afraid that Fengxian will be deceived by him."

Jia Xu was silent, and it was obvious that he understood Li Ru's concerns.

Scenes from the past came to my mind.

After the prime minister entered Luoyang, he saw that the young emperor was stupid and wanted to make the Prince of Chenliu the emperor. He was opposed by Ding Yuan, the then governor of Jingzhou. The prime minister was furious and wanted to kill Ding Yuan, but he saw a man behind him, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji and glaring at him. Li Ru saw that something was wrong and tried to dissuade him. Ding Yuan rode away with Lu Bu.

On the second day, Ding Yuan led his army to attack the prime minister. Lu Bu rushed out first, as if he was in an empty space, and the prime minister was defeated.

Later, he used the Red Hare and high-ranking officials to persuade Lü Bu, and Lü Bu agreed to surrender. That night, he killed Ding Yuan and brought his head to the prime minister.

When he saw the prime minister, he bowed and said, "If you don't mind, I will be your foster father."

The prime minister was overjoyed and accepted Lü Bu as his adopted son. From then on, the prime minister's position in Luoyang City was completely consolidated.

Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan and surrendered to the Prime Minister for a red rabbit horse. It is also possible that he surrendered to others for greater benefits.

Jia Xu pondered in his heart. After a long time, he came to his senses.

"Mr. Li, according to Xu's speculation, General Lu will definitely not have any ulterior motives."

“How come you see?”

Jia Xu said: "After General Lu surrendered to the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister rewarded him greatly and appointed him as Cavalry Commandant, General of the Central Army, and Marquis of Duting. Now this official position is only below the Three Dukes. It is the highest among military generals."

"If Liu Yu wants to recruit General Lu, he must be promoted to one of the Three Dukes. Lord Li also knows that General Lu dislikes red tape and likes military affairs the most. It may be difficult to convince him with official positions."

"Now that the Prime Minister has all the power, even if General Lu has ulterior motives, he may not succeed. Taking a big risk for a small gain is not something a wise man would do."

"General Lu knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm. If Liu Yu had produced the imperial edict, as Ruxu expected, Liu Yu's head would have been on the prime minister's desk."

"Ruxu's guess is correct. Liu Yu went to see General Lu these days and really went to compete in martial arts."

Li Ru thought about Jia Xu's words carefully and felt that they made sense. Although he didn't believe that Lu Bu would betray the prime minister, he couldn't help but worry. The reason was nothing more than Lu Bu's betrayal of Ding Yuan, which left a deep impression on him. Ding Yuan was Lu Bu's adoptive father, and the two had a deep friendship. But when a red rabbit horse appeared in front of Lu Bu, he directly cut off Ding Yuan's head without hesitation. This also made Li Ru know that for a person like Lu Bu, he could only promise him benefits, but not his loyalty.

Now after hearing Jia Xu's analysis, Li Ru thought about it carefully and gradually felt relieved.

"Wenhe, what you said makes sense. As long as Fengxian is safe, the world will belong to the prime minister sooner or later. The weather is a little cold. Let's have a few drinks."

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and the two drank a few cups.

"Mr. Li, Xu speculates that it won't be long before Liu Yu will definitely leave Luoyang in the east, and then all this fun will really begin."

Li Ru laughed heartily, and all the annoyance in his chest disappeared. He looked stern and gloomy.

"Wenhe, let's have a duel between you and me and all the strategists in the world to see who will have the last laugh."

Jia Xu laughed loudly, his laughter full of arrogance. I have been poor since childhood and have experienced the ups and downs of life, but it also made me understand people's hearts and see through human nature.

Now that I have mastered this ability, I will use humanity to understand the world.
