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

Xu You was somewhat helpless. He did not understand why Guo Tu was so resistant to Liu Yu. According to his understanding of Guo Tu, if Liu Yu brought the emperor's edict and asked Yuan Shao to send troops to attack Dong Zhuo, Guo Tu would definitely support him at the first opportunity.

As a latecomer under Yuan Shao, the Yingchuan faction represented by Guo Tu had been giving Yuan Shao advice in order to gain greater benefits, so that Yuan Shao could go out of Bohai and fight for supremacy in the world. Because only in this way could they have a greater chance of gaining greater benefits.

He and Guo Tu did not get along well, and he was somewhat contemptuous of Guo Tu's talent, but it was impossible for Guo Tu not to see such an obvious conflict of interest.

"From your perspective, Uncle Liu is a modest gentleman, not like what Gongze said."

"A humble gentleman?" Guo Tu laughed coldly, "Ziyuan, don't forget, the last humble gentleman who was so loyal that he turned out to be a traitor, his head is still on the temple, and he has been despised by generations."

"If Tu remembers correctly, he is also the emperor's elder."

Xu You sneered in his heart. Uncle Liu gave you an imperial edict, but you could associate it with so many things. It really leaves you speechless.

"Does Gong Ze have a grudge against the Emperor's uncle?"

Guo Tu was stunned, obviously not expecting Xu You to ask this.

"He is in the capital, and Tu is in Bohai. We have never met before, so how could there be any rift? Tu is just doing something for the lord, to prevent the lord from being framed by this person."

Xu You smiled and looked at Yuan Shao who was holding the imperial edict and said, "My lord, now that the imperial edict is in our hands, should we send out soldiers to contact heroes from all directions and fight against Dong?"

"If you can defeat Dong Zhuo successfully, you can take control of Luoyang. Then your wish to support the Han Dynasty can be realized."

Yuan Shao came to his senses and after a moment's contemplation, he said, "Let's discuss this matter in detail."

After saying this, he shouted to the soldiers at the door, "Quickly call Yan Liang and ask him to come to the hall to discuss matters."

The soldier outside the door took the order and left. After a while, a big black man came into the hall.

I saw that his voice was loud and clear, like thunder.

"Yan Liang greets the lord. I wonder why the lord has summoned me here?"

Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Gong Ji, please sit down for a while, drink a few glasses of wine, and then we will talk in detail."

Yan Liang bowed, sat on the couch, and drank several glasses of wine.

Yuan Shao then slowly said: "Gong Ji, today the emperor is besieged by Dong Zhuo, and he has issued an imperial decree ordering me to send troops to fight against Dong. What do you think of this?"

Yan Liang said in a deep voice: "My lord, we must not send troops to attack Dong."

Yuan Shao asked, "Gong Ji, can you tell me the reason?"

Yan Liang said, "My lord, the bandit problem in our territory has just been quelled and our soldiers are exhausted. It is time to rest and recuperate. It is not appropriate to start a war again. Besides, the Xiliang cavalry under Dong Zhuo are quite powerful. If we start a war rashly, we may not have a chance of winning."

Yuan Shao pondered for a long time and felt that what Yan Liang said made some sense. If the soldiers of the three armies did not fight to the death and were defeated in one battle, then all their plans would be in vain.

Xu You said: "General Yan is wrong. The three armies have just conquered the bandits and their morale is high. This is a good opportunity to make achievements."

"What Mr. Xu said is very unreasonable. The three soldiers are also human beings. How can they not rest and fight again and again?"

"It will take some time to defeat Dong Zhuo, and by then the three armies will be able to rest and complete their work."

"Mr. Xu made it sound easy. We have been fighting one battle after another and our morale is low. If we cannot defeat Dong Zhuo, who will be able to take the responsibility?"

What Yan Liang meant was that the three armies were exhausted and it would be difficult to defeat Dong Zhuo.

The two argued for a long time but could not reach a conclusion.

Yuan Shao looked at the two sides arguing and was at a loss for a moment. At this moment, a soldier outside the door came in and reported that the emperor's uncle came to see him.

Yuan Shao pondered for a long time.

"Please come in, uncle."

Liu Yu strode in from the door. After everyone greeted him, Liu Yu saw that Yuan Shao's civil and military officials were all there, so he got straight to the point and asked, "Have you made a decision on sending troops, Lord Yuan?"

Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment.

"Dong Zhuo is powerful, Lu Bu is brave, and we have the dangerous Hulao Pass and the Xiliang cavalry. I'm afraid we won't be able to win. It's hard to make a decision at the moment."

Liu Yu laughed out loud, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile.

"I have heard that there are many generous and sad people in Jizhou. After seeing them today, I know that the rumors are false."

When Yan Liang heard this, anger suddenly appeared on his face.

"Although the emperor's uncle is of high status, he should not underestimate the Jizhou soldiers."

Liu Yu ignored him and continued, "In this campaign against Dong Zhuo, Lord Yuan has ten chances of winning and Dong Zhuo has ten chances of losing. The outcome is already decided. Why should Lord Yuan hesitate?"

"I would like to hear your opinion, uncle."

Dong Zhuo committed atrocities, imprisoned the emperor, and brought chaos to the Han Dynasty. However, Lord Yuan held the emperor's edict and led an army to fight against Dong Zhuo in the name of Your Majesty. This was a victory of righteousness.

Dong Zhuo allowed his troops to plunder and the military discipline was lax, but Yuan Gong was strict in military discipline and won the hearts of the people. This is the victory of governance.

Dong Zhuo was a cruel and brutal person who killed people without restraint, while Yuan Gong was lenient and generous, and treated people with respect and courtesy. This was a victory of virtue.

Dong Zhuo did not care about the people's strength and allowed his soldiers to harm them, while Yuan Gong sympathized with the old and the young and loved the people like his own children. This is benevolence prevailing.

Dong Zhuo could not distinguish right from wrong and confused black and white, but Yuan Gong promoted him politely and corrected him according to the law. This is a victory of literature.

Dong Zhuo was intoxicated by the prosperity of Luoyang and his ambitions were long gone. But Yuan Gong was determined to support the Han Dynasty and had great ambitions. This was his ambition to win.

Dong Zhuo lost his moral principles and had few supporters, he was isolated and helpless, while Yuan Gong had many supporters and people from all directions helped him. This was the victory of the moral principles.

Dong Zhuo was narrow-minded and vindictive, while Yuan Gong was tolerant and generous, with a heart as big as a valley. This is the way to win;

Dong Zhuo does not know the art of war and is not good at making plans, but Yuan Gong has studied the art of war and is well versed in strategic strategies. This is a military victory.

Most of Dong Zhuo's ministers were loyal to the Han Dynasty and were disloyal to the Han. However, Lord Yuan governed his subordinates with virtue and was unable to influence them. This was a clear victory.

If Yuan Gong had these ten victories, Dong Zhuo would have ten defeats, and Yuan Gong would have won.

As soon as Liu Yu said this, everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment.

Xu You secretly admired him in his heart. He had heard that this person was of extraordinary talent and learning. After seeing him today, he found that he was indeed extraordinary. This theory of ten victories covered almost every aspect of the art of war. It was to the point, concise, profound and rare in ancient and modern times.

Guo Tu's face was blue and white. Although he was still upset about Liu Yu's sabotage of his plan last time, after listening to Liu Yu's ten victories, he had to admire him. This man is much smarter than me. No wonder he can see through my plan. He is so young, but he has such insight. In time, he will become a big trouble for the lord. After this matter is over, I will definitely let the lord be careful to guard against this man.

Yan Liang had a rough understanding of military tactics, and he had been angry since he was captured by Guan Yu. After hearing the ten-victory theory, he was also shocked. This man was so scheming that if he fought with wits, it would be difficult for him to win. If I want to avenge my capture, it seems that I can only resort to force.

Yuan Shao felt like drinking nectar after hearing the ten-victory theory. Good, well said. After listening to Liu Yu's analysis, this battle will surely be won. This man is so young, yet he has such insight. No wonder Meng De was impressed and said he was a hero.
