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

Hulao Pass.

Lu Bu returned to his residence, took off his armor, sat on the couch and closed his eyes to rest. After an unknown amount of time, Gao Shun walked in from outside the door.

"General, the soldier at the door received a letter for you."

"A letter?" Lu Bu was a little surprised. "Who sent the letter?"

"The soldier didn't know. After the man put down the letter, he left and only said that he was an old friend of the general."

Gao Shun handed the letter to Lu Bu, bowed and walked out.

My old friend? Who is it? It's all very mysterious.

Lu Bu opened the sealing wax and pulled out a piece of letter paper. He saw that the white paper was filled with densely written content.

He opened the letter, read it carefully, and realized that the letter was sent by Liu Yu.

Isn't it said that Liu Yu is a man of great talent and literary talent? Why is there so many corrections in this letter? These corrections seem extremely childish and don't seem like the work of a well-read person.

The content of the letter was very simple, just a greeting. Lu Bu was a little confused when he received the letter from Liu Yu. This Liu Yu was indeed cunning. At this time, he was still trying to get close to him. Did he really expect him to turn against the country and become the prime minister? What a joke.

Lu Bu threw the letter on the table casually, like throwing away a piece of garbage.

……

……

Dong Zhuo sat at the desk, his face full of anger.

"When did Liu Yu have so many powerful troops under his command? The three of them were able to fight against Lü Fengxian on equal terms. Wen You must find out who the three of them are."

Li Ru had already found out the news about Liu Bei and the other two.

"Prime Minister, these three are sworn brothers. The eldest brother is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the second brother is Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, and the third brother is Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide."

The name sounded familiar to Dong Zhuo, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

Li Ru continued, "Prime Minister, do you still remember the year when we put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion? At that time, we were ambushed by the Yellow Turban Army and were about to be defeated. But then we encountered three people who led their troops and rode their horses to attack Zhang Jue, causing Zhang Jue to panic. That’s when we turned the defeat into victory."

Dong Zhuo only remembered this incident after hearing Li Ru's reminder. He wanted to reward them with an official position at that time. However, when he asked about Liu Bei's identity, he said that he had no official position and was a commoner. Then Dong Zhuo gave up the idea of ​​recruiting him.

"So it was them. We shouldn't have given up recruiting them just because of their low status. Now Wenyou has a clever plan to recruit these three people into our team."

Li Ru was delighted when he heard Dong Zhuo say this. Since the Prime Minister had strengthened his army, he rarely recruited heroes from all over the world. If it weren't for Lu Bu's fierceness, he could have killed the soldiers with his own strength. He had no choice but to recruit him. I'm afraid he would still be under Ding Yuan's command.

"Now that they have joined Liu Yu's army, it may be difficult to recruit them again."

"Since they can't be used by us, we should find a way to get rid of them. Otherwise, if they hold Fengxian back, it will be difficult for us to defeat the Guandong coalition."

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. This time they relied on their numbers to hold Fengxian back. As long as we don't let them attack at the same time next time, victory will still belong to us."

"Since the three of them were able to drag Fengxian out, why would they attack alone and give Fengxian an opportunity to take advantage of them?"

Li Ru's smile was full of weirdness.

"If Confucianism tries to get rid of them, then there will be no joint force."

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed.

"Looking at what Wenyou said, do you have a good plan in mind?"

Li Ru nodded.

"I was just about to tell the Prime Minister."

After saying that, he told Dong Zhuo in detail about his next plan.

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he slapped his thigh with joy.

"Okay, okay. If Wen You succeeds in this plan, not only can we get rid of these three people, but I'm afraid Liu Yu will also be in danger. When the time comes, we can send troops to wipe them out without any effort."

"As long as we don't let them throw us off balance, victory in this war will ultimately belong to us."

What Li Ru said makes a lot of sense. As long as they firmly occupy Hulao Pass, they will be invincible.

Although the Guandong coalition army had a large number of people, there were also many princes, making it difficult to form a joint force. In addition, they came from a long distance, and it would be difficult to maintain food and grass for a long time. They would definitely transport food from their own territories. The closest to Hulao Pass were Wang Kuang, the governor of Henei, Yuan Yi, the governor of Shanyang, Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, and Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun. Their territories were very small and it was impossible for them to maintain the supply of the entire army. If they wanted to stay at Hulao Pass, they would have to transport food from relatively wealthy places such as Nanyang and Jizhou. The farther the distance of food transportation, the more difficult it would be to transport food. By then, they would not have much to use and would be defeated without a fight.

The situation at Hulao Pass was completely different, as it was backed by the imperial capital of Luoyang, which was rich and prosperous, with abundant food and grass, and a constant supply of food and grass.

"We have Wen You in literature and Lu Bu in martial arts. How can we let the thieves lose their composure?"

"Does the Prime Minister still remember the day he found the letter in Liu Yu's mansion?"

Dong Zhuo nodded.

"Wenyou is afraid that Liu Yu will continue to alienate us."

Li Ru said: "Yes, after that incident, Liu Yu's methods against Fengxian seemed to disappear. This is very unusual. Ru has always been worried that Liu Yu will continue to use this method against Fengxian."

Dong Zhuo was very confident and he laughed out loud.

"Wenyou, don't worry too much. Now that we know it's Liu Yu's evil plan, how can we be fooled again?"

Hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru felt relieved. He knew the importance of Lu Bu and was afraid that Liu Yu's treacherous plot would make Dong Zhuo lose his mind. If he lost Lu Bu, all his plans would be in vain.

He also took the opportunity to talk about the importance of Lu Bu, and asked Dong Zhuo to take good care of Lu Bu and win his heart to avoid any unexpected events.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's cheerful agreement, Li Ru bowed and went out to arrange the next course of action.

Dong Zhuo ordered his men to keep an eye on Lu Bu's situation at all times to prevent Liu Yu's evil scheme from succeeding.

Not long after the soldier went out, he came back to report that Lu Bu had received a letter.

Dong Zhuo was shocked. What Li Ru said came true. It seemed that he had to go and appease Lu Bu to prevent him from being bewitched.

He hurried out to comfort Lu Bu.

Lu Bu had been drinking, and the battle with Liu, Guan, and Zhang had made him feel very depressed. As the wine entered his chest, Lu Bu felt that the depression in his body suddenly decreased a little.

But when he thought of Zhang Fei calling him a slave of three surnames, Lu Bu still felt a little angry.

"That black fellow actually dared to bully me like this. Sooner or later, I will get rid of him."

Just as Lu Bu finished saying this to himself, he saw a short and fat dark man standing outside the door. Lu Bu looked closely and wondered who else could it be but Dong Zhuo.

As soon as Dong Zhuo entered the room, he heard Lü Bu scolding the black servant. Who was this black servant? How could he bully Lü Fengxian, the best in the world?

In this world, if anyone dares to bully Fengxian except myself, I will skin him alive and pull out his tendons to avenge him.

He looked down at his hands, which did not look very white at all. He suddenly thought of a possibility, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
