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

Xu You bid farewell to Yuan Shao and went straight to Liu Yu's residence.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the door was open and Liu Yu was standing at the door, looking at Xu You with a smile on his face.

Upon seeing this, Xu You took two quick steps, came to Liu Yu, and bowed, saying, "Xu You greets the emperor's uncle. Why is the emperor's uncle not resting inside the house, but standing at the door?"

Liu Yu laughed out loud.

"You have been waiting for me here for a long time. Come in quickly. The wine is already warm."

Xu You looked surprised.

"Uncle Emperor knew You would come?"

Liu Yu did not answer, but pulled Xu You into the house.

When the two men entered the house, Xu You saw that on the two tables, the wine was warming and the meat was boiling.

The two of them sat down, Liu Yu picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Ziyuan, although it is spring, the wind is still a little cold. Come, let's drink a few glasses to warm our bodies."

After Xu You drank a few glasses of wine with doubt, he couldn't help but ask: "Why did the emperor's uncle know that Xu You would come?"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Sending troops to fight Dong Zhuo will cost countless money, food, and soldiers. How can Lord Yuan not worry? Although the righteousness is here, how can Lord Yuan send troops if there is no reward?"

"What Mr. Yuan is worried about is just four words."

Seeing Xu You didn't say anything, Liu Yu continued, "The position of leader."

Xu You nodded.

"Uncle Huang is very good at predicting things, and You admires him very much."

Liu Yu took out the emperor's edict from his arms and placed it on the table.

"Ziyuan, please take the emperor's edict back to Lord Yuan, and pass on a message for Yu. As long as you can save His Majesty, Yu is willing to be a soldier in Lord Yuan's tent."

There's something incredible about him.

"Is the Emperor's uncle really willing to give up the position of leader?"

Liu Yu laughed and said, "Yu is young and inexperienced, how can he take on such a big responsibility? In this world, no one can take on this responsibility except Lord Yuan."

Xu You's eyes were burning. This person had expected him to come and knew his purpose before he even opened his mouth. What a wise strategy this was. He took out the imperial edict, which was regarded as a treasure by the world, without any hesitation. What a broad-minded person this was.

"The emperor's uncle cares deeply about the Han Dynasty and does not care about fame or gain. You admires him very much."

Liu Yu laughed and said, "Ziyuan, you are overpraising me. I am just an ordinary person and I don't deserve such praise from you."

"Ziyuan is the best counselor under my command. We will need your help in the expedition against Dong."

Xu You pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest with you, uncle, most of my master's soldiers are locals. Their attitude is the most important. My master has received the emperor's edict, and the only thing he is worried about is his soldiers."

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Local people are content with the status quo, have a short-sighted vision, and cannot see the general trend of the world. It is human nature that they are unwilling to leave their hometown to fight. Ziyuan is a hero of the time, how can he not see it?"

Xu You bowed and said, "Since the emperor's uncle is so frank, I will speak frankly."

"When we are drinking, we can laugh and talk. Ziyuan, why should you be restrained? Just say whatever you want."

Xu You bowed and said, "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty has declined and disputes have continued. Now we urgently need a strong force to revive the Han Dynasty. After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he had the opportunity to take on this important task, but he was arrogant and extravagant, and he did perverse things. He was domineering and imprisoned the emperor. If my master obeys the emperor's order and succeeds in defeating Dong, he will surely be promoted to a high position for saving the emperor. At that time, he can enter Luoyang, assist the emperor, support the Han Dynasty, and achieve unprecedented achievements."

Liu Yu smiled slightly and didn't point it out.

"Ziyuan has a keen eye and saw the key to the problem in one sentence. Ziyuan is right. The Han Dynasty is declining and only a hero like Yuan Gong can revive it. Yu also looks forward to the day when he can serve under Yuan Gong and do his best to revive the Han Dynasty."

"My uncle is a man of extraordinary talent and wisdom. He is not an ordinary person. How could he be willing to be under my master?"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Although Yu has some talent for poetry, it can only be of little help in saving the country. If poetry can save the emperor, why would Yu have to travel thousands of miles to come here?"

Although Liu Yu's words were a bit modest, they were true. Looking through the history of great poets and writers, when it comes to governing a country and maintaining peace, there have really not been many great talents.

Xu You naturally saw that Liu Yu's words were humble and his attitude was sincere, and for a moment he could not tell whether what he said was true or false.

"If we can get the help of the Emperor's uncle, my master's ambition to revive the Han Dynasty will surely come true."

Liu Yu smiled and responded. The two drank another glass of wine. Xu You was in a hurry to report to Yuan Shao, so he didn't stay for long. He begged for mercy, took the emperor's edict, bowed, and left.

Guo Tu had just talked to Yuan Shao for a few words when Xu You came over from Liu Yu's place.

Guo Tu was secretly pleased to see Xu You return so quickly. It was exactly as I expected. Liu Yu was obsessed with his reputation and refused to give up the position of leader to his lord. Xu You must have been kicked out as soon as he expressed his idea. If I am right, Liu Yu has already begun to gather his troops and prepare to leave.

"Ziyuan, you came back so soon. I guess Uncle Liu didn't want you to come out."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao's face darkened.

"Since he is unwilling to give up the position of leader, there is nothing to discuss further. Just send someone to ask him to leave."

Guo Tu said, "My lord, there is no need to send anyone. As Tu predicted, Liu Yu must be angry and gather his troops to leave."

Xu You saw that Guo Tu kept talking before he said anything, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. You are shallow-minded and pretentious. I'm talking about you, Guo Gongze.

After Guo Tu finished speaking, Xu You bowed, took out the imperial edict from his arms calmly, and handed it to Yuan Shao.

"My lord, I have fulfilled my mission."

Yuan Shao held the emperor's edict, but was unable to react for a moment. He stood there in a daze, speechless.

When Guo Tu saw this, his face turned purple and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

His mind was full of doubts. How could this be possible? In such a short period of time, Xu You actually convinced Liu Yu and took back the emperor's edict.

"Ziyuan, this..."

Xu You glanced at Guo Tu, then turned to Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, my uncle is not only willing to give up the position of leader, but he also has something to say to you."

"What does the emperor's uncle have to say?"

"As long as I can save your majesty, I am willing to be a small soldier in Yuan Gong's camp."

Guo Tu said in disbelief: "He really said that."

"Exactly word for word."

Guo Tu had not thought that things would develop in this direction. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say. He thought for a long time before a word popped into his mind: great treason. He seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and continued to think along this idea. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it made sense.

"My lord, this man is very cunning and scary. You must be on guard against him."

Xu You asked, "Why do you say that?"

Guo Tu replied: "Just think about it, the emperor's edict is such an important thing, and he actually gave it up without hesitation. Isn't such a cunning man scary?"
