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

The reason why Liu Yu let the surrendered soldiers guard him was to show his favor to them in a subtle way.

After assigning the personnel, Liu Yu immediately found Wang Yue and explained the situation to him. Wang Yue took a sip of wine and said calmly: "As long as I can always have wine to drink, I can ensure that the emperor's uncle is safe."

With Wang Yue's words, Liu Yu's heart was finally at ease. He wanted to win over these surrendered soldiers, but he would not joke with his own life. After all, for Liu Yu, his life was more important than the revival of the Han Dynasty, more important than the people of the world, and more important than anything he could do in this era.

He will not sacrifice his life for the so-called righteousness. He will only try his best to influence the times within the scope of his ability.

Both kindness and power are important. After arranging kindness, power is naturally indispensable. Liu Yu called Guan, Zhang and Zhao to his front and told them that they must use their martial arts to intimidate the surrendered soldiers.

The three men nodded without much expression on their faces. It was obvious that they had some experience in how to lead troops.

"Uncle, rest assured. If these surrendered soldiers refuse to obey, I will beat them until they obey."

Looking at the calm expressions of the three people, Liu Yu felt relieved. He picked up a glass of wine and was about to take a sip, but when he heard Zhang Fei's words, he almost vomited.

Beating and punishing soldiers, have you forgotten how you died in history?

Liu Yu almost said this in a hurry.

After hearing Zhang Fei's words, Liu Yu remembered Zhang Fei's fault. It is fine to value officials more than soldiers. But it is a taboo for a general to value soldiers less than soldiers.

It is understandable that you cannot share the hardships with your soldiers, but if you beat and scold them after getting drunk, that is a way to death.

As for Zhang Fei's problems, Liu Yu originally wanted to restrain him after the situation stabilized. However, he did not expect that the surrendered soldiers from Xiliang would appear. If Zhang Fei acted according to his temper, getting drunk and beating and scolding soldiers at will, the surrendered soldiers from Xiliang would definitely rebel.

"Yide, today I will set you a military rule. You are not allowed to drink alcohol within three months, and you are not allowed to beat or scold soldiers. If you dare to disobey my order, you will be punished with fifty military sticks and demoted to an infantryman."

Zhang Fei was stunned.

"Uncle Emperor, this..."

Liu Yu ignored him and signaled him to leave quickly.

Seeing Liu Yu's cold expression, Zhang Fei quickly put on a smile.

"Uncle, I promise not to beat or scold the soldiers, so the alcohol ban will be waived."

"No." Liu Yu said firmly.

"Let me drink a little, I'll drink a little, I promise I won't get drunk, I'm willing to sign a military order."

Liu Yu didn't say anything, just picked up a glass of wine and started drinking.

Seeing that Liu Yu did not answer, Zhang Fei turned his gaze to Liu Bei, hoping that Liu Bei could say a few good words for him.

"Brother, this..."

"What the emperor's uncle said were all military orders. Third brother, there is no need to say more."

Wang Yue drank by himself, not intentionally. He drank deliberately. He even pursed his lips after drinking.

"Good wine! The Emperor's uncle once said something very good in his poem: When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup face the moon empty."

Zhang Fei had a look of despair on his face, staring at Wang Yue. He was angry but didn't dare to show it.

He muttered in his heart that this old man was very bad, and left in anger.

After Zhang Fei left, Wang Yue put away the wine gourd and said to Liu Yu, "Uncle, do you think Yide will break the rules? Do you need me to keep an eye on him?"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "No need. If Yide doesn't have this kind of determination, how can he lead thousands of troops in the future, and how can he help the Han Dynasty to revive."

Liu Bei was delighted to see that Liu Yu had such high expectations for Zhang Fei. He planned to wait until Liu Yu finished speaking before telling Zhang Fei not to drink alcohol in the near future.

Liu Yu said a few more words, and Liu Bei got up and left.

Wang Yue took a sip of wine and said lazily: "Does the emperor really think that Yide can obey the military order and stop drinking from now on?"

Liu Yu had no answer to Wang Yue's question.

Wang Yue continued, "Uncle, please don't blame me for being nosy. It is very painful to stop a wine lover from drinking. It requires great willpower to do it."

Liu Yu knew this very well. In history, Liu Bei had warned Zhang Fei many times not to drink, but Zhang Fei agreed many times but refused to change.

When he was guarding Xuzhou, he drank alcohol, which made it easy for Lu Bu to capture Xuzhou. Such a major incident still did not alert Zhang Fei, and he got drunk many times afterwards, and finally lost his life in the end.

Since he will make mistakes due to drinking sooner or later, we should make him alert at the lowest cost.

With the two thousand surrendered soldiers given to Zhang Fei, Liu Yu was confident that he could quickly suppress any unrest.

"Sumi knows that it will be difficult for him to do this, so I am going to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson."

Wang Yue narrowed his eyes, took a sip of wine, and thought to himself, so he had seen through it too. Zhang Fei couldn't hold on any longer and deliberately wanted to teach him a lesson.

Although Wang Yue was drunk every day and looked like a person who didn't care about anything, he was actually very clear-headed. From this encounter with Zhang Fei, he had a very clear understanding of Zhang Fei's character. Zhang Fei was addicted to alcohol and drank at every meal. It would be extremely difficult to prevent such a wine lover from drinking.

Liu Bei walked out of the tent and went straight to find Zhang Fei. Before he entered Zhang Fei's tent, he heard him complaining.

"If you don't let me drink, don't you want to kill me?"

"Third brother, it will be three months in total. Just be patient and it will be over."

Zhang Fei was still indignant.

"After all, it's because you're afraid that I'll mess things up. Second brother, tell me, there are two thousand surrendered soldiers under my command. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I won't break his neck."

At the end, seeing that Guan Yu did not respond, Zhang Fei felt a little aggrieved.

"Uncle Emperor doesn't trust my ability at all. Doesn't my second brother know this, too?"

"Third brother, you and I swore brotherhood in Taoyuan, how could you not know your third brother's abilities?"

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense." Liu Bei came over from outside, "How could the emperor's uncle not believe in your ability? He did this for a very meaningful reason."

"Deeper meaning? What deeper meaning? I can't see it."

"Third brother, you love drinking. Every time you drink, you are guilty. You whip soldiers when you are drunk. This is a taboo in the army. The emperor's uncle wants you to lead thousands of troops in the future and make great contributions to the Han Dynasty, so he wants you to quit drinking."

Commanding a huge army? If Zhang Fei said he had never thought about it, he would be deceiving himself. As a military commander, who wouldn't want to be crowned as a marquis? This goal was too far away, like a mirage, illusory and too far away. Zhang Fei always tried it but only briefly.

Hearing Liu Bei say this, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of heroism in his heart, and the resentment in his heart just now disappeared.

"Will I really be able to command an army of thousands in the future?"

"Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, if we want to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty, we will have to go through countless battles. With your martial arts, how difficult is it to do this?"
