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

After Liu Yu left, Yuan Shao was sitting alone in the hall when Guo Tu walked in from outside.

He bowed and said, "My Lord, I heard that Liu Yu came to Nanpi?"

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Yes, he held the emperor's edict and asked me to send troops to fight Dong. You came at the right time. Tell me what should be done about this matter?"

Guo Tu asked: "From what the lord said, are you preparing to raise an army? Has the lord forgotten that it was he who ruined the lord's plan last time?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and said, "How could I forget that incident? But now is a different time. Can we still kill him?"

Guo Tu snorted coldly and said, "Why not? This is in Nanpi City. If the lord wants him to disappear, it doesn't matter whether he is the emperor's uncle or not."

Yuan Shao pondered and said, "No, although he has few soldiers, they are all brave. Besides, he came here in the name of the emperor. If I kill him, it will surely cause public outrage, which is unwise."

After hearing what Yuan Shao said, Guo Tu understood what he meant. He slowly calmed down and thought about the matter carefully. He also felt that he had acted on impulse and lost his composure.

He was in a trance when Xu You walked in. Seeing Guo Tu was also there, Xu You understood Yuan Shao's intention, which must be about the emperor's uncle entering Nanpi City.

After Xu You finished his ceremony, he stood aside.

Yuan Shao saw his two counselors gathered together and asked, "A few days ago, Meng De came here and talked about the emperor's uncle. He praised him highly and called him the only hero in Luoyang City. What do you two think of this man?"

Xu You said: "This man has an extraordinary temperament and a broad mind. He really deserves the reputation of a hero."

Guo Tu was still upset about his last attempt to assassinate the emperor being foiled by Liu Yu, so he was not polite in his words.

"My lord, he is just a young man. How much ability do he have? I am afraid the rumors are false. Judging from the picture, he can hardly be called a hero."

Xu You smiled and asked, "From your point of view, who can be called a hero?"

Guo Tu said: "If we talk about heroes, I think there is only one person who is a hero in the world today."

"Appreciate further details?"

Guo Tu said slowly: "He was not afraid of Dong Zhuo's intimidation in Luoyang City. He dared to draw his sword alone. This is courage. After arriving in Bohai, he quickly quelled the banditry and stabilized the local area. This is benevolence. He recruited talented people and treated them with respect. This is wisdom. How can such a person not be a hero?"

Xu Xuyou was slightly startled. He didn't expect Guo Tu to be so cunning. He flattered him so elegantly and elegantly. He was speechless for a moment.

"Gong Ze is right. The lord is definitely a hero."

Everyone likes to hear nice words. Although Yuan Shao knew that these two people were trying to flatter him, he still couldn't help laughing.

Although every word Guo Tu said was true, and he himself was brave, kind, and wise, if he was not a hero, then who else in the world could be called a hero?

After Yuan Shao laughed, he remembered to call the two men together to discuss the matter.

"Uncle Liu has received the Emperor's edict to send troops to defeat Dong Zhuo. How do you think this will work? Tell us what you think."

Guo Tu said, "We must not do the task of defeating Dong Zhuo. My lord, think about it. If this is successful, the world will surely praise the name of the emperor's uncle. If it fails, my lord will lose soldiers and generals, and his strength will certainly be greatly damaged."

Yuan Shao nodded.

"If you are fair, you will have a point."

Xu You said: "My Lord, I think this is feasible. The Emperor's uncle has received the emperor's edict, which is a righteous cause. If my Lord disregards the righteous cause, I am afraid that my Lord will lose hope in the world."

Guo Tu laughed.

"May I ask Ziyuan, if the lord sends out troops, who will be the leader of the alliance, the uncle or the lord?"

Xu You pondered and said, "We can discuss this matter slowly."

Guo Tu said, "Liu Yu is the emperor's uncle and is known for his talent. His reputation is comparable to that of the lord. How should we discuss this matter?"

Xu You smiled slightly when he heard what Guo Tu said. You are cunning and your reputation is well-deserved. Liu Huangshu is now more famous than the master. His reputation of being a genius has just spread all over the land. Before people can react in shock, he has been in and out seven times to save the emperor from danger. This once again shocked people about this great uncle of the Han Dynasty.

But although he is famous, he lacks foundation, has no territory, and has only two thousand soldiers. If he really has a dominant position, tens of thousands of soldiers, and the emperor's edict in hand, why would he come to find the lord?

"Then according to Gongze's opinion, how do you handle this matter?"

Guo Tu said: "If you want the lord to send troops, unless he is willing to give up the position of leader, this matter can be discussed. If he is not willing, there is no need to discuss this matter. The lord only needs to send a soldier to get him out of Nanpi City."

When Xu You saw Yuan Shao nod, he understood Guo Tu's intention, which was exactly what he wanted.

"My Lord, why don't you let You go meet the Emperor's uncle and test his attitude before discussing it?"

Yuan Shao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Ziyuan, go ahead. We'll discuss this matter when you come back."

Xu You bowed and turned to look for Liu Yu.

Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu and asked, "Gong Ze, how confident do you think Ziyuan is in this journey?"

Guo Tu said with a smile, "Tu thinks he has no chance of winning. My Lord, think about it. Liu Yu has come a thousand miles to come here. How can he easily give up the position of leader? If Tu is right, Ziyuan will definitely come back with a broken nose, and Liu Yu will most likely leave in anger."

Guo Tu was very confident. Who in this world does not want to gain fame? If Liu Yu did not want fame, how could he have left behind poems in Luoyang City? If he did not value fame, how could he have become related to the emperor and become the uncle of the Han emperor? If he did not want false reputation, how could he have risked his life to save the emperor from danger.

How could a person who cares so much about reputation give up the opportunity to command the heroes of the world, and how could he be persuaded by Xu You's few words?

"Where will he go if he walks away in anger?"

Guo Tu smiled and said, "If the Lord disagrees, he will naturally look for someone else. But who in the world has the Lord's strength and prestige? In the end, it will be in vain."

Yuan Shao asked, "Don't you forget that there is still one person?"

Guo Tu smiled slightly, his smile full of mockery.

"How could Tu forget this man? He and the lord are brothers. The lord should know him better than Tu. He has always valued profit, so how could he start an army without conditions?"

Yuan Shao smiled slightly, and a haughty figure appeared in his mind. He relied on his status as the legitimate son of the Yuan family to look down on everyone, even himself. Now he occupied Nanyang, greedy by nature, did not enforce the law, and in order to hoard supplies, he let his soldiers rob in Nanyang City, causing panic among the people, and countless people fled.

Nanyang County was a good place, but he turned it into this state. It was the largest county in the world with a population of one million. If he were in office there, why would he need to suppress bandits and expand his power?

"Gongze is right. Who else in this world can take on such an important task except me?"

After saying this, he burst into laughter, and his laughter was full of heroism.
