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

"What? Dong Zhuo sent people to Yuan Shu's tent last night?" Yuan Shao stood up suddenly. "What did they talk about? Is there any news?"

"I don't know what they talked about, but I know that Dong Zhuo's envoy left a long time ago."

When Yuan Shao heard that his servants had received the news, his face was full of shock.

Yuan Shao knew his younger brother very well. Since he was young, Yuan Shu had never cared much about etiquette and valued profit the most. If the benefits to Dong Zhuo were great enough, it would not be impossible for Yuan Shu to turn against him in the middle of a battle.

"Tell Yuan Gong to come see me as soon as possible. I want to ask him in person."

At this moment, Yuan Shao was mighty and domineering, his eyes were full of coldness. At this critical juncture, he would never allow anyone to destroy his cause of defeating Dong. If anyone tried to destroy him, he would take action without hesitation, even if that person was his own brother.

It has to be said that Yuan Shao during this period was full of ambition and enterprising spirit, and possessed all the potential to become a powerful leader. In addition, as his family was three generations of prime ministers, it was natural for him to be recognized by the aristocratic families.

In the process of later seizing Jizhou, Yuan Shao could be said to have taken Jizhou from Han Fu without firing a single shot. Apart from the fact that Han Fu was not capable of taking important tasks, most of his advisers were loyal to Yuan Shao, which was one of the reasons why Yuan Shao was able to easily obtain Jizhou.

When Yuan Shu arrived at the camp, he saw Yuan Shao's face was livid. He was puzzled and hurriedly saluted and said, "Brother, why did you call me here so early in the morning?"

"Gong Lu, I heard that Dong Zhuo sent people to your camp. Is this true?"

Yuan Shu was stunned. Dong Zhuo sent people to his camp in the middle of the night. This was such a confidential matter. Not to mention Yuan Shao, even in his own camp, no more than three people knew about it. How did Yuan Shao get the information? He actually knew about this matter so early in the morning.

He saw the cold light in Yuan Shao's eyes, obviously he already knew about this, so he no longer concealed it.

"It is true. Dong Zhuo wants to recruit me and ask me to fight against the allied forces with him. After the victory, he wants to share the world with me."

Seeing Yuan Shao's face getting more and more ugly, Yuan Shu hurriedly explained: "Brother, think about it, Dong Zhuo is a traitor to the Han Dynasty and a traitor to the country. How could I be in cahoots with him? I rejected him sternly at that time."

After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Yuan Shao felt relieved. He thought that he was worthy of being a descendant of the Yuan family. He could still stand firm in the face of major issues.

Now that Lu Bu has just been defeated, Dong Zhuo is frightened, and the morale of the coalition forces of the princes is high, it is the time to break through Hulao Pass, kill Dong Zhuo and make contributions to the country. We must not allow internal problems to occur.

"Gonglu is loyal and righteous. After the allied forces defeat Dong Zhuo, Shao will certainly report to the emperor and ask for credit for Gonglu."

Yuan Shao was ambitious and had great plans for the country, looking confident and confident.

Yuan Shu looked at the complacent Yuan Shao and felt inexplicably uncomfortable. In terms of birth, he was much better than Yuan Shao. He was a legitimate son, while Yuan Shao was the son of a concubine and had a low status. But this kid was lucky. Yuan Shu's uncle Yuan Cheng had no children, so the handsome Yuan Shao was adopted by Yuan Cheng as his son. From then on, this illegitimate son of Yuan Shao inherited all of Yuan Cheng's property and became the leader of the Yuan family.

"Thank you, brother. I will never forget your kindness in helping me."

"Gong Lu, we are brothers. We should help each other. What you said is a bit too much."

"Shu's words were out of place, please don't blame me, brother."

Yuan Shao always felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Yuan Shu always speaking politely. In his impression, Yuan Shu was arrogant and not a person who abided by etiquette. Even when facing his nominal brother, he did not have much etiquette.

He didn't know that Yuan Shu had suddenly changed his temper today and became polite, gentle and respectful.

……

……

Li Ru soon received a reply from Sun Jian, in which Sun Jian firmly stated that not only would he not withdraw his troops, but he was also willing to stay and lend a helping hand to the prime minister. Of course, the help was conditional, which was to give Jingzhou occupied by Liu Biao to him.

Jingzhou, when Li Ru saw this word, he took a deep breath in his heart.

The nine counties of Jingzhou are strategically located, rich in resources and prosperous in population. To the north, they can reach the heartland of the Central Plains, and to the west, they can capture Yizhou. If Sun Jian were to occupy this territory, his future strength would be limitless.

Li Ru secretly calculated the pros and cons of transferring Liu Biao away from Jingzhou and letting Sun Jian take over. In the end, he made up his mind.

Although Sun Jian would become a hidden danger for Xiangguo to conquer the world, Li Ru still decided to agree to him. The reason was simple. Now the Guandong coalition was in full swing. If they could not be defeated, it would always be a dilemma. Only by breaking this dilemma first could the next plan be arranged.

He was just about to prepare to meet up with Sun Jian when he suddenly remembered the news Li Jue brought back that day. Sun Jian was extremely arrogant and did not seem to have any intention of forming an alliance with the Prime Minister.

When he thought of this, he was about to take a step, but he stopped instantly.

Sun Jian and Liu Yu were very close. Liu Yu once risked his life to save the life of his general. This couldn't be Liu Yu's strategy.

After pondering for a moment, Li Ru still couldn't be sure. If Sun Jian really wanted to kill the Guandong coalition forces together with the prime minister for the sake of profit, the Guandong coalition forces would inevitably be wiped out in this battle. If this was a counter-espionage plot by Liu Yu, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry would also not be able to escape the disaster.

The impact of this incident was so great that Li Ru found it difficult to make a decision for a while.

"Please invite Wenhe to come to my house to discuss matters."

The soldier took the order, and after a while, Jia Xu came in front of Li Ru.

Li Ru had already figured out Jia Xu's temper, so he didn't bother to beat around the bush and went right out and explained all the problems in detail.

After listening to Li Ru's words, Jia Xu lowered his head in thought.

"Mr. Li, to be honest, even Xu is not sure of Sun Jian's true intentions."

Hearing Jia Xu say this, Li Ru felt a little melancholy, but Jia Xu's next words instantly relieved him.

"Ke Xu has a plan that can get Sun Jian to leave this place."

Letting Sun Jian leave, wasn't this exactly the purpose of letting Li Jue negotiate with Sun Jian in the first place?

I promised the land of Jiangdong to Sun Jian, but he refused to leave. How could he leave easily now?

"What brilliant idea does Wenhe have? Tell us quickly."

Jia Xu smiled slightly and pointed to the reply letter from Sun Jian in Li Ru's hand: "The brilliant plan is this letter."

Li Ru was stunned for a moment, then understood instantly.

"Wenhe's intention is to deliver Sun Jian's letter to Liu Biao."

"That's right. Lord Li, think about it, if Liu Biao received this letter from Sun Jian, how would he react?"

"Liu Biao will surely be furious. He will not come here to attack Sun Jian. He will most likely send troops to attack Changsha."

"Mr. Li is right. If Liu Biao attacks Changsha, Sun Jian can still sit here and besiege the Prime Minister. He will definitely rush back to support Changsha."

"We only need to tell Liu Biao the time when Sun Jian will return, and have him ambush and kill Sun Jian on the way. Sun Jian will definitely be able to escape death."

"Mr. Li has a brilliant plan."

The two old foxes smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
