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

Jizhou.

Nanpi.

Yuan Shao's residence.

Yuan Shao sat on the couch, drinking water and lamenting. All the hard work of many years was destroyed in an instant.

This time, I suffered a huge loss. All the power in the capital was taken away by Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop. It has been many days, but I still feel pain when I think about it.

Just as he was feeling frustrated, a soldier came flying in from outside the door to report something.

"My lord, something terrible has happened."

Seeing the soldier lose his composure, Yuan Shao angrily asked, "Why are you panicking? Tell me what's going on slowly."

"A group of soldiers came from outside the city. General Yan went out of the city to fight them, but they were captured in less than one round."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he almost vomited out all the tea he had just drunk.

He was captured in less than one round. Yan Liang was a powerful enemy under his command. How could he be captured in less than one round? Could it be that the person coming was Lu Bu? A thought rang in Yuan Shao's mind. No, even if it was Lu Bu, it was impossible for him to capture Yan Liang so quickly.

"What's going on? Tell me in detail."

The soldier reported: "General Yan was on duty in the city. When he saw a group of people approaching the city gate, he led his cavalry to intercept them. A young general of the other side was talking to General Yan, but suddenly a big man with a red face rushed out and captured the general. I saw that the situation was not right, so I rode my horse to report to the lord."

"Did you hear what was said?"

"I was far away, so I couldn't hear it clearly. I only vaguely heard the words 'imperial uncle'."

"Uncle," Yuan Shao was startled. Could it be that the person who came was Liu Yu? He remembered that Cao Cao had told him before that this person was the only hero he admired in the capital. Anyone who wanted to be his enemy would surely fail.

Recently this man has been in Wan'an Mountain seven times, going in and out seven times, and managed to lead the emperor out of the encirclement of his own death squad. Could it be that this red-faced man is the current emperor's uncle? This man is so brave, no wonder he could rescue the emperor alone.

Since he brought his troops here, it must be that his plan to assassinate the emperor has been exposed.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shao was shocked.

"Hurry up and pass on the order to close the city gates. No one is allowed to enter the city. All soldiers, follow me to the city wall to meet the enemy."

"only."

Yuan Shao, dressed in armor, led his soldiers to the city gate when he saw a cavalryman coming from a distance.

"Open the city gate quickly. I want to see the lord."

Yuan Shao looked at the man carefully from the upstairs and found that he was indeed one of his own men.

"I'm here, what do you want?"

The soldier looked up and saw Yuan Shao standing at the city gate. He saluted and said, "My lord, the emperor's uncle has a business card saying that he wants to visit you here."

After saying this, he raised the business card in his hand.

Yuan Shao was hesitant when he heard this. What did the word "visit" mean? Did it mean a hunting party?

While Yuan Shao was hesitating, he heard a voice beside him.

"My lord, don't panic. The enemy has less than a hundred cavalry and only a few thousand infantry. Even if he is brave, he can't capture Nanpi City."

Yuan Shao looked back and saw a refined scholar with a slight beard standing behind him. He looked calm and was one of his advisers, Xu You and Xu Ziyuan.

"Then what do you think of Yi Ziyuan?"

Xu You said: "Open a corner of the city gate and let the soldiers in. Let them read the contents of the business card first and then make a decision."

Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and felt that it made sense, so he ordered the city gates to be opened.

The soldiers entered the city and presented their business cards.

Yuan Shao took the business card and saw a name first, Liu Yu, Liu Yunqi. He spoke modestly and didn't seem to be ready to fight. He calmed down a little and checked the business card. He saw another name on it, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, the magistrate of Pingyuan County, a relative of the Han Dynasty. Who is this? I've never heard of him.

Now, nearly 400 years have passed since the Han Dynasty was established. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented the Enfeoffment Order, the descendants of the princes and kings of the early Han Dynasty are everywhere. If we talk about the relatives of the Han Dynasty, there are at least 8,000 if not 10,000. The title of the Han Dynasty's relatives still has some deterrent power for the common people, but it has no effect at all for a prominent family like Yuan Shao. In this era, having land, food, soldiers, and guns is the hard truth.

He handed the business card to Xu You, who looked at it for a moment.

"My lord, Ruyou is right. Uncle Liu should be here to visit you this time."

Yuan Shao was somewhat skeptical.

"Since you came to visit me, why did you capture Yan Liang?"

Xu You smiled and said, "I'm afraid it was General Yan who, following the orders of the Lord, did not allow them to come in, which caused this conflict."

Yuan Shao was still a little worried.

"I heard from Meng De that this man is very smart. Could it be that he is using this trick to open the city gate?"

Xu You thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, I will leave the city first to see what the emperor's uncle is here for. If he has no hostility, it will not be too late to open the city gate later."

Yuan Shao was overjoyed.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Ziyuan."

……

……

Zhang Fei saw that after a long time of sending the business card, Yuan Shao not only did not show up, but instead closed the city gates and sent soldiers to fight. He felt a little angry.

"Yuan Shao is such an ungrateful fellow. The emperor's uncle and my elder brother came to visit him at the same time, but he didn't open the city gate for so long. This really irritated me. I will lead my troops to attack and capture Yuan Shao."

Guan Yu stopped him and said, "Third brother, don't be reckless. Nanpi's walls are strong and there are tens of thousands of soldiers inside. It's not that easy to break through."

Zhang Fei said angrily, "Why should we be afraid of him? Second brother, I and Shuzhi will charge first, and you and the old man will follow. I don't believe that with just the four of us, even if he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, we can still capture him."

Wang Yue was still drinking on his horse, his eyes narrowed. Hearing Zhang Fei's words, he suddenly became interested and said, "I can drink, but I can't fight in the battle. You three can go, I will stay here to guard Yunqi."

Zhang Fei's mouth twitched slightly.

"Old sir, you didn't say that when we were drinking before. You were a hero who single-handedly charged into the Qiang camp and killed the Qiang leader!"

Wang Yue rolled his eyes at Zhang Fei.

"You are so stupid. You believe drunken talk. If you didn't have a few jars of good wine, I wouldn't tell you so much."

Zhang Fei's mouth twitched. You are trying to trick me into drinking. I was excited for a few days in vain. Zhang Fei felt that he was being fooled and was a little angry, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only hint to himself in his heart, forget it, he is good at swordsmanship and he is right.

Wang Yue took a sip of wine, looked at Zhang Fei who was becoming increasingly manic, and said, "We are really going to charge over and capture Yuan Shao."

When Zhang Fei heard Wang Yue ask this, he thought Wang Yue had changed his mind.

"Old sir, do you think my method is good?"

Wang Yue chuckled.

"I don't know if you can catch Yuan Shao, but you will definitely not be able to come back."

Zhang Fei was somewhat disdainful.

"Yuan Shao's soldiers are enough to trap Zhang Fei."

Wang Yue teased, "I'm afraid that you'll be beaten to death by your elder brother when you come back. Have you forgotten why we came to find Yuan Shao? If we can't summon heroes from all over the world and rescue the emperor because we captured Yuan Shao, do you think your elder brother will beat you to death?"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he instantly felt like a deflated ball.

Bored, he looked towards the city gate and saw from afar that the gate was opened and a rider came out of the city.

"Look, someone is coming out."
