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

Chapter 73 Gongsun Zan presents troops

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he greeted Liu, Guan, Zhang and Cao Cao.

Liu Bei said: "I have heard that Meng De stabbed Dong Zhuo with a single sword and his name spread all over the world. Seeing him today, I find that he is indeed extraordinary."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Xuan De, you are too kind. I am ashamed to say that if it were not for the Emperor's uncle's rescue, I would have died outside Luoyang City long ago. How could I still be here to talk with Xuan De?"

After saying this, he told Liu Bei and others the whole story of how he assassinated Dong Zhuo.

After hearing this, Liu Bei realized that there was such a thing, and he couldn't help but admire Liu Yu's wisdom even more.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Dong Zhuo is just a commoner from Xiliang, not to be feared. Only Lu Bu under his command is a difficult character."

Zhang Fei sneered and said, "Why should I be afraid of Lu Bu? When I meet him, I will let him see the power of my Zhangba Snake Spear."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Yide is very courageous. But Lu Bu is brave and valiant, so we should not underestimate him."

Zhang Fei was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Second brother, when we meet Lu Bu, you must not attack. Let me try him first."

Guan Yu nodded without saying a word throughout the whole process, and his face was full of cold expression.

Before Liu Yu and the other man even met Lu Bu, they were already furious with Cao Cao and could not help but sigh in their hearts.

It is said that Cao Cao is very deceitful, and it is true. He started to test the strength of Guan and Zhang as soon as they met.

Liu Yu did not point it out, and watched them talking happily. He did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that although Cao Cao was polite to Liu Bei and talked the most to Zhang Fei, he still preferred Guan Yu who always had a cold face.

In the next few days, Cao Cao followed this team and marched forward together. Cao Cao told Liu Yu about his idea of ​​attacking Dong Zhuo, wanting to hear Liu Yu's opinion on this matter. It must be said that Cao Cao was worthy of being a person who could compile military strategies and had good military insights. If he followed his idea of ​​attacking Dong Zhuo with several armies, Dong Zhuo would definitely be defeated. However, there was a prerequisite, that is, these armies had to fight together and cooperate tacitly.

But reality is reality after all. After the allied forces gathered, the number of allied forces allowed Yuan Shao to surpass Dong Zhuo, making him feel that he could also defeat Dong Zhuo with his hard power.

Yuan Shao’s opinion could not be considered wrong. If the three armies fought hard, they would still have a chance to defeat Dong Zhuo.

"Although Meng De's idea is good, it is not easy to implement it."

Cao Cao was a little puzzled.

"Uncle, please explain clearly?"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Although the various princes have come to fight Dong, they all have different ideas. They need to cooperate and fight together. This is very difficult to accomplish."

Cao Cao was startled, obviously he had not thought of this. In his current understanding, the emperor was in trouble, and it was time for us to serve, so how could we not go all out? It must be said that Cao Cao's wish at this time was to support the Han Dynasty and make achievements. This is not difficult to understand. After all, desires increase with strength.

Liu Bei had the same idea. Although he was a relative of the Han Dynasty, he had no royal certification. He had the ambition to serve his country, but he was frustrated. He thought the Yellow Turban Rebellion was an opportunity, so he recruited soldiers to join the battle to suppress the Yellow Turban Army. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, he was appointed as the magistrate of Pingyuan County. Now he is thirty years old, which is considered "old" in this era. Liu Yu believed that in countless nights in Pingyuan County, Liu Bei would lament and feel lost, and then encourage himself and regain his confidence.

Two days later, the army finally arrived at Suanzao, and ordered to set up camp. Cao Cao bowed to everyone, and took Cao Ren and Cao Hong back to his own army.

After the tents were set up, they started to make fire and cook, and they were very busy. Just as everyone was about to eat, Gongsun Zan arrived with his troops.

Liu Bei hurried out to greet him. Gongsun Zan took Liu Bei's hand and said, "When I passed by Pingyuan County, I wanted to find you to come to the alliance together. After asking, I found out that you had left with the emperor's uncle. I heard that the emperor's uncle is both wise and brave, and once saved the emperor from danger. If you follow the emperor's uncle, your future will be limitless."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, brother."

Gongsun Zan said with a smile: "Where is the emperor's uncle? Take him to see him."

Liu Bei brought Gongsun Zan to Liu Yu and bowed, saying, "Gongsun Zan, the governor of Beiping, greets the emperor's uncle."

Liu Yu stood up to return the greeting, and invited the two to sit down and eat together.

Liu Yu carefully looked at his classmate Liu Bei. He was tall and handsome. With this figure and appearance, even a star would be no better than him in the future. No wonder he could be appreciated by others just by his face. This also made Liu Yu understand a truth: whether now or in the future, good looks can really make a living.

The men drank and talked. When they were half drunk, Gongsun Zan saw that Liu Yu was well-spoken, knowledgeable, and not arrogant. He treated Liu Bei like a brother and was very close to him. He was very happy. Everyone had heard of this man's talent. Today, he saw that it was true. If Xuande followed him, he would have nothing to worry about.

While Liu Yu was talking to Gongsun Zan, he was thinking about another thing in his mind, that was Zhao Zilong of Changshan. He should have been a general under Gongsun Zan by now. He wondered if he had come. He wondered if he could trick Zhao Yun away from Gongsun Zan, ahem, please come over.

He looked up at the two people outside the tent, both of them were dark and burly men, and they should not be Zhao Yun. He felt a little embarrassed to ask him for people as soon as they met. He could only wait and see, and there would always be a chance.

Gongsun Zan asked, "Uncle, how many troops did you bring to this meeting?"

When talking about troops, Liu Yu felt a little guilty. He didn't have any troops at the moment. He brought more than 30 cavalrymen from Luoyang, plus Liu Bei's 2,000 men. These were all the troops Liu Yu could mobilize at the moment.

Liu Yu laughed and pointed at the troops outside the camp and said, "General, you should have seen that there are only these troops right now."

Before Gongsun Zan came in, he had already taken a look at the troops in this camp and had a rough idea in his mind. When he saw Liu Yu bluntly saying that they were weak, he was delighted. This man was honest and steady, and had the demeanor of a gentleman.

"The emperor's uncle is famous all over the world, and such a small number of people are not enough to enhance his reputation. Since my brother Xuande follows the emperor's uncle, Zan will select 300 cavalry and 3,000 infantry from his own army and give them to the emperor's uncle to enhance his reputation."

It's really generous. He gave so much at once, and also three hundred cavalrymen. You know, cavalrymen were very rare in that era.

Liu Yu naturally knew that a big part of the reason Gongsun Zan was so generous was because of Liu Bei. It must be said that Liu Bei, as a classmate, was really nice to Liu Bei.

"Thank you, General. I have heard that the White Horse Volunteers under your command have amazing fighting power. If we can get your help, there is no need to worry about not getting rid of Dong Zhuo."

Gongsun Zan has a group of cavalrymen under his command, all riding white horses. Even though horses are now precious, Gongsun Zan still chooses to ride all white horses. Liu Yu can only explain this behavior as the obsessive-compulsive disorder of a handsome guy, or the fact that he is really rich.

This group of White Horse Volunteers can be said to be the pinnacle of light cavalry of this era. They come and go like the wind, galloping bravely, and their power is so great that no one can stop them.

Liu Bei also bowed and said, "Brother, your kindness is great. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart."

Gongsun Zan laughed and said a few humble words, and the group chatted happily until late at night.
