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

During the following period of time, just as Liu Yu had expected, everything was calm and peaceful without any disturbances.

More than ten days later, news came one after another that more than a dozen groups of people had responded and agreed to meet in Suanzao at the beginning of next month.

In the next few days, everyone was rubbing their hands and sharpening their knives, waiting to achieve great success in the campaign to defeat Dong Zhuo.

When Liu Bei heard that Gongsun Zan was on the list of the alliance, he was also delighted. From this period of getting along with Liu Yu, Liu Bei admired Liu Yu's talent very much. He did not expect that this man was not only knowledgeable but also wise at such a young age. It seemed that the burden of reviving the Han Dynasty would mostly fall on this man.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month. The army set out from Nanpi and headed for Suanzao. Fifty thousand troops marched along a ten-mile route. This scene was quite spectacular.

Originally, Yuan Shao prepared a carriage for Liu Yu to travel, but Liu Yu himself refused it. He wanted to take this opportunity to practice his riding skills so that he could better adapt to this era.

After just three days of walking, Liu Yu felt a little regretful. Although the warhorse under his crotch was docile, sitting on it for several hours still made Liu Yu feel very tired. He felt listless and lacked energy all the way.

He really couldn't imagine how he could wield weapons and kill the enemy after a long-distance charge on horseback.

It wasn't until he saw Zhang Fei that Liu Yu found the answer. The warhorse under his crotch was galloping across the country, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, with an indescribable carefree and unrestrained manner.

It is true that comparing yourself with others will make you angry. Looking at Zhang Fei's casual and carefree appearance, Liu Yu was actually a little envious.

It was finally time to rest. Liu Yu didn't care about his graceful posture. He just lay on the ground, looking at the sky and stretching his body.

Chen Dao stayed by Liu Yu's side all the time, his eyes full of vigilance.

Liu Yu looked at his appearance and comforted him, "Shuzhi, relax, don't be so nervous."

"Although Yan Liang is not here, there is no guarantee that some of his subordinates may have evil intentions, so it is better to be careful."

Liu Yu laughed and said, "Even if Yan Liang came, would he dare to cause trouble in front of such people?"

Chen Dao nodded, but the vigilance on his face did not diminish in the slightest. Liu Yu smiled but didn't say anything.

This trip was surprisingly peaceful. Even the refugees, who were the most common group to see at other times, were only a few in number. This was no wonder, as the refugees came out to beg for food, not to be turned into food. After all, in that era, using human flesh as military rations was not unheard of.

The short rest allowed Liu Yu to regain some energy. He sat down and watched from afar three people riding horses towards him.

Although the horse riding skills of these three people are not as proficient as Zhang Fei, they are obviously not weak either.

Only when he got closer did Liu Yu see clearly the face of the short and dark man in the front.

Cao Cao.

He wasn't going to the sour jujube forest, so why did he come here?

Liu Yu was full of questions.

When they were still thirty steps away, Cao Cao jumped off his horse and trotted over, his dark face full of joy.

Behind him, there were two big men, their faces were not very white, and the three black men were running towards Liu Yu. This scene was full of humor.

"Cao Cao pays respect to the Emperor's uncle."

"Cao Ren pays respect to the Emperor's uncle."

"Cao Hong pays respect to the Emperor's uncle."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "No need to be polite, it has been several months since we last met in Luoyang. I hope Meng De is doing well."

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Thank you for saving my life, uncle. If it weren't for your foresight, I would have died at the hands of Lu Bu."

Liu Yu smiled and said modestly, "Why did Meng De come here instead of going to Suanzao?"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "To be honest with you, uncle, I came here especially for you."

Cao Cao told Liu Yu about the situation in the past few days. Liu Yu then knew that not long after Cao Cao left Luoyang, he had persuaded Yuan Shao to send troops to fight against Dong. Yuan Shao ignored him, so he returned to his hometown and continued to recruit soldiers and train soldiers. A few days ago, he suddenly heard that Yuan Shao was sending troops to fight against Dong according to the emperor's edict. He thought the news was false, but after careful inquiry, he found out that it was Liu Yu who came to Yuan Shao's house with the emperor's edict and persuaded Yuan Shao to send troops.

After Cao Cao finished explaining these things, he bowed and said, "If it weren't for the talent of my uncle, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to persuade Yuan Benchu."

Liu Yu laughed and said, "Meng Deyan is too kind. Yuan Benchu's heart is with the emperor. Yu only said a few words, so I dare not take credit for it."

Cao Cao was such a smart man, how could he not understand what he meant? Seeing Liu Yu's frankness, he could not help but secretly praise him. The emperor's uncle did such a great thing, but he did not take credit for it. He is really a role model for our generation.

"Uncle, in my opinion, the leader of this alliance should belong to you."

Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "Yu has few soldiers and generals, and I am afraid I can't take on this important task."

Cao Cao said: "The emperor's uncle is of high status, has great talent and wisdom. Apart from the emperor's uncle, who else in the world can take on this task?"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Yuan Benchu ​​is a senior official of the fourth generation. This time he leads tens of thousands of soldiers and is very powerful. It is most appropriate for him to take on the position of leader."

Cao Cao disagreed with Liu Yu's statement. Although Yuan Shao's army was strong, he had known Yuan Shao since childhood and knew him very well. In short, he had great ambitions but little wisdom, and looked fierce but was timid. How could such a person be a general?

"Please forgive me for speaking frankly. Although Yuan Benchu ​​is loyal and brave, I am afraid he is not the best candidate for the leader of the alliance. The position of leader is of great importance. Whether the fight against Dong Zhuo will be successful depends on this. Why should the emperor's uncle refuse?"

Liu Yu smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew all this, but he only had the title of the emperor's uncle, but his strength was very weak. Even if he took the position of leader, it would be difficult to convince everyone.

This meeting seemed to be to fight against Dong Zhuo and rescue the emperor. But Liu Yu knew that apart from Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei, who were only a few people who really wanted to fight against Dong Zhuo, everyone else had their own plans.

In order to preserve their strength, they sang loudly at the camp gate every day, which allowed Dong Zhuo to escape to Chang'an in the west. If everyone was united, Dong Zhuo would have surrendered.

But to make everyone united, it all comes down to two words: interests. If there is not enough interest, even Liu Yu will not have a good solution.

Isn’t the first condition for Yuan Shao to come this position of leader of the alliance?

Although Liu Yu had no way to change these things, he also had his own plans. As long as he could scare Dong Zhuo and combine it with his own plans, getting rid of Dong would not be a fantasy.

"I have already discussed this matter with Yuan Benchu, Meng De does not need to persuade me anymore."

Cao Cao was a little surprised, but looking at Liu Yu's face, he didn't seem to be saying it against his will. Could it be that he is so young now that he has become indifferent to fame and gain and is so humble?

Cao Cao was a little skeptical. After all, in this era, there were only a few scholars who were willing to sit in the mountains and never go out.

Cao Cao wanted to say more, but Liu Yu changed the subject and said, "Meng De, you came at the right time. There are a few heroes here who would like to meet Meng De."
