As soon as Zhang Fei said this, everyone looked towards the city gate and saw a rider on a horse galloping towards them.

After a while, the man on horseback came close. He was dressed in a scholar's robe and was obviously a scholar. The scholar asked loudly, "I wonder if that is Uncle Liu? Xu You and Xu Ziyuan from Lord Yuan's tent greet you."

Xu You, Xu Ziyuan, turned out to be him. Liu Yu had some impression of this person in history. He persuaded Yuan Shao to capture Xuchang during the Battle of Guandu, but Yuan Shao did not listen. Later, because his family members were convicted of crimes, he surrendered to Cao Cao in anger. Cao Cao met him barefoot, and he ordered Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shao's grain and grass Wuchao with light cavalry, so that the Battle of Guandu ended with Cao Cao's victory.

Later, Cao Cao entered Jizhou. He didn't know what had happened to him. He was proud of his achievements and repeatedly looked down on Cao Cao. Every time he attended a meeting, regardless of the occasion, he would call Cao Cao by his nickname Cao A Man. Cao Cao smiled on the surface, but he was actually saying MMP. How could he live long after offending Cao Cao? Sure enough, not long after, he was killed by Xu Chu.

When Liu Yu heard it was him, he spurred his horse forward.

"I am Liu Yu, also known as Liu Yunqi. I have long heard that Lord Yuan has a counselor under his command. He is a close friend of Lord Yuan and is very resourceful. I am very lucky to meet him today."

Seeing that Liu Yu was so young and yet spoke so humbly despite being the emperor's uncle, Xu You couldn't help but admire him in his heart.

No wonder Meng De said this man was a hero when he came over a few days ago. Just looking at his demeanor, there are few people in the world who can match him.

Xu You hurriedly dismounted and saluted, saying, "A compliment from my uncle is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold."

Liu Yu dismounted, walked up to Xu You, supported him and said with a smile: "Ziyuan is a great man, you don't have to be bound by conventional etiquette."

Xu You laughed and asked, "Uncle, why are you here in Nanpi?"

Liu Yu got straight to the point and said, "Dong Zhuo has abused his power and imprisoned the emperor. I am holding the emperor's edict and asking Lord Yuan to send troops to eliminate the thief Dong and save the emperor from danger."

Upon hearing this, Xu You pondered for a moment.

"Uncle Emperor, you have come at the right time. Dong Zhuo is monopolizing power and harming the country. My master has long wanted to get rid of him, but unfortunately he did not dare to raise an army without a clear edict."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "I'm afraid what Ziyuan said is not entirely true. Yu has been here for half a day. First, General Yan led his troops to block us and refused to let us meet Lord Yuan. Out of helplessness, I stopped General Yan and gave Lord Yuan a business card. Lord Yuan not only let us enter the city, but also closed the four gates and took strict precautions. It seems that Lord Yuan does not welcome us."

Xu You explained: "Uncle Huang has misunderstood. When my master saw the conflict between Uncle Huang and General Yan, he thought that the enemy was attacking, so he closed the city gates and was on guard. If he knew that Uncle Huang was here to discuss important matters under the emperor's edict, how could he not dare to leave the city to welcome him."

Liu Yu laughed out loud.

"Everyone has heard that Xu Ziyuan is talented and capable of handling important matters. Seeing him today, I can see that his words are true."

Xu You said modestly: "Uncle, you are too kind. Compared with your talent, it is like a candle compared to the bright moon. Your uncle is known for his talent, and I can hardly compare to him."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "It's just a misunderstanding, Ziyuan, don't take it seriously."

Xu You said, "I do not agree with what the emperor's uncle said. Even Cai Bojie praised the emperor's uncle's talent. How could it be a misunderstanding? Moreover, I have carefully studied the emperor's uncle's masterpiece. It is magnificent and talented. He deserves the reputation of being a genius."

The two of them flattered each other and the atmosphere became familiar.

Liu Yu held Xu You's hand and said with a smile: "Talking with Ziyuan is like drinking sweet rain with him. Ziyuan is a great man of the time. I happen to have a few people here who are all heroes of the time. They have admired Ziyuan for a long time and I want to introduce him to you."

When Xu You heard this, he said he didn't dare.

Liu Yu took Xu You and walked back a few steps, then introduced Liu Bei and others to Xu You one by one.

After a few people talked to each other politely, Xu You secretly praised in his heart that although the people around Liu Yu were not many, they were all not simple.

Big-eared Liu Bei is also a relative of the Han Dynasty, with a calm face and extraordinary bearing;

The young general Chen Dao, holding a spear, with a sharp gaze, is very heroic;

Zhang Fei, with a black face and a snake spear in hand, is extremely powerful and must be quite skilled in martial arts.

Red-faced Guan Yu, with a long sword still firmly placed on Yan Liang's neck, this long sword looked like it must have weighed at least several dozen pounds, and he was able to subdue Yan Liang with this sword in one move, although it was a sneak attack, it must have been a superb martial arts skill;

Looking at the white-haired old man at the back, who was drinking wine sip by sip and looked harmless, Xu You always felt that this man was not simple, otherwise why would the black-faced Zhang Fei look at him with a strange look in his eyes.

Liu Yu and Xu You chatted for a while. Xu You glanced at the sky, bowed and said, "Uncle, wait a moment. I will go back and report to my master."

Liu Yu nodded.

"In that case, Ziyuan, take General Yan back with you."

After that, he said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, release General Yan."

Guan Yu took back the long sword from Yan Liang's neck, and Yan Liang's eyes were full of resentment. He jumped on his horse, picked up the long sword in his hand and was about to rush to kill Guan Yu, but Xu You stopped him and said, "General Yan, the emperor's uncle is here, you can't be rude. Let's go back to the city quickly. If we delay the lord's important event, neither you nor I will be held responsible."

Yan Liang listened to Xu You's cautious words, and heard the emperor's edict and other things. He was really afraid of delaying Yuan Shao's important affairs, so he didn't dare to challenge Guan Yu again. If he left directly in front of his 3,000 soldiers, he would lose face.

"You villain who attacked this general, remember this, I will definitely avenge you."

After saying this, without waiting for Guan Yu's reply, he turned his horse around and galloped towards Nanpi City.

Three thousand cavalrymen followed Yan Liang closely, and for a moment smoke and dust rose up, with an astonishing momentum.

Xu You bowed to Liu Yu again, then mounted his horse and returned to Nanpi.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and said, "Second brother, if you meet this man next time, be careful."

Guan Yu looked arrogant.

"I have nothing to fear from those who are willing to sacrifice their lives."

Liu Yu said: "Although Yan Liang is brave, he is definitely not a match for Yun Chang, but he has a mean personality, so he can be defeated."

Zhang Fei took a step forward.

"What? Does he dare to use force? If he really wants to use force, I will poke a few transparent holes in him with my spear first, without any need for my second brother to do it."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Yide is very brave. After entering Nanpi City, we need to be careful. We must know that it is easy to dodge a spear, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark."

Zhang Fei didn't care about the open or covert things. He believed that if an enemy came, he would fight with his generals; if a flood came, he would block it with earth. With the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his second brother's hand, no one in the world could be his enemy.

Liu Bei said, "Third brother, this is the advice of an old man, you must listen to it."

Zhang Fei nodded in agreement, but his inner thoughts remained unchanged.

Liu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Brother, what do you think of Ziyuan?"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "This man is well-spoken and knowledgeable. I think there must be some hidden purpose in you trying to win him over."

Liu Yu said: "Yuan Shao is resourceful but indecisive. To persuade Yuan Shao to send troops, we will probably need this person's help."
