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

Xu You sighed and remained silent for a long time before he explained the reason.

"At this point, I dare not deceive my uncle. Shen Pei has a nephew named Shen Rong. This man relies on Shen Pei's status to do whatever he wants in Yecheng and violate the law.

This man was extremely lustful. Once, when the little girl went out, she was seen by this man, and he actually developed lustful thoughts towards her.

If it weren't for the desperate protection of my followers, I'm afraid I would have been killed by this person. When I heard about this, I couldn't swallow my anger, so I told Yuan Shao about it and asked him to do justice.

When Yuan Shao heard about it, he severely reprimanded Shen Pei. Shen Pei still bears a grudge against me because of this incident. Now that he has the chance, how can he not take revenge? "

Liu Yu's impression of Shen Rong, as he had just heard from Guo Jia, was basically the same as Xu You's description.

Liu Yu nodded and began to comfort Xu You.

"Yecheng is Yuan Shao's hinterland, and it is really puzzling that such a violation of law and discipline occurred there. For someone of Ziyuan's status to encounter such a situation, wouldn't the situation be even worse for ordinary people?"

"I'm afraid that my uncle has never been to Ye City. Although Ye City is known to be rich and a paradise, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is dirty and chaotic inside and is not worth the sight."

Liu Yu sighed.

"This situation has only occurred because the Han Dynasty has declined. As a member of the Han Dynasty clan, I feel deeply ashamed."

"I admire Uncle Liu for caring about the people, but he doesn't need to blame himself. The decline of the Han Dynasty is the result of the inaction of several generations of monarchs, and has nothing to do with him."

Liu Yu sighed deeply, his eyes full of melancholy.

"Having said that, when I think of the suffering of the people, my heart aches."

Liu Yu tried hard to appear to be concerned about the world in order to increase Xu You's bargaining chips.

Sure enough, after Xu You listened to Liu Yu's remarks, the emotions in his eyes suddenly became much more complicated.

Uncle Liu is so kind and righteous! Yuan Shao had such an opponent, so even if he won, it would be a miserable victory.

Xu You remembered the purpose of coming here alone, and began to talk about the war situation with Liu Yu.

"May I ask, uncle, how long can the food and grass in the camp last?"

Liu Yu smiled faintly and said, "To be honest, Ziyuan, there is enough food and grass in the camp, enough to support a year."

Xu You laughed and said, "I'm afraid your words are not true. I came here sincerely to seek refuge with you. Why would you lie to me, uncle?"

Seeing Xu You's confident look, it was obvious that he had a better understanding of the situation in his camp, so he no longer concealed it.

"Less than three months."

Xu You smiled and said, "I saw that the emperor's uncle kept using tricks to kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou, so I knew that his food and grass were running low. Although killing these two people was a success, it was a risky move. If the plan fails, not only will it fail, but it will also cause casualties."

What Xu You said was correct. When using troops, if one can win by fair means, who would be willing to take the risk of sending out surprise attacks?

"Ziyuan is right. Now that we have reached a life-or-death situation, we have no choice but to come up with a surprising plan. Ziyuan, do you have any strategy to teach me?"

Xu You smiled faintly and said slowly: "As the saying goes, food and grass must be sent before troops move. As long as the emperor burns Yuan Shao to death, Yuan Shao will definitely retreat."

"Where is Yuan Shao's food and fodder stored? Please tell me clearly, Ziyuan."

"Crow's Nest."

Liu Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "To be honest, Ziyuan, I also suspected that Yuan Shao's grain and grass were in Wuchao, but I sent scouts to Wuchao many times and did not find the location of Yuan Shao's grain and grass."

Upon hearing this, Xu You was secretly shocked but remained calm. Uncle Liu was indeed very resourceful. He was able to determine the possible storage location of the grain and grass without any information.

You know, the grain storage in Wuchao was the highest secret in Yuan Shao's army. Except for a few close confidants, no one knew the location of the grain. Uncle Liu was able to determine the location of Wuchao just by deduction and analysis. Such computing power is amazing.

"The Wuchao water system is extremely difficult to explore. Northeast of Wuchao, there is a naturally formed, square pit. The pit is very large and several miles wide. Yuan Shao's food and grass are hidden in it. If you don't take a closer look, you won't find anything unusual."

When Liu Yu heard this, he suddenly realized what was going on. No wonder he had sent people there so many times but nothing was found.

It turned out to be hidden in a natural pit.

"How many soldiers are there guarding Wuchao now?"

Xu You said: "There are quite a few soldiers guarding Wuchao, as many as 20,000. They patrol day and night and surround the pit tightly."

"This is an important place for grain and grass. Yuan Shao is really cautious. With so many troops, it may be difficult to attack."

"Don't worry, uncle. Although the garrison is large in number, the general guarding this place is Chunyu Qiong. He is in his current position only because of his seniority and age. His military discipline is lax, and he himself is drunk all day long and unprepared. If uncle sends a surprise force, he will surely be able to defeat the enemy."

Liu Yu had naturally heard of Chunyu Qiong's name. Like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, he was one of the eight commanders of the Western Garden of the previous emperor.

When Dong Zhuo was in power, he fled Luoyang and followed Yuan Shao to Jizhou, and from then on worked under Yuan Shao.

I'm afraid there is no one else with such qualifications in Yuan Shao's camp.

Liu Yu thought for a moment and said slowly: "Even if the 20,000 defenders are unprepared, they cannot be easily defeated. If we want to capture Wuchao this time, we need to bring at least 5,000 soldiers. With so many soldiers, they will definitely be noticed if they pass through Yuan Shao's defense zone. If we want to deceive them, we must plan a little more."

At this point, the first thing Liu Yu thought of was to cross the river in white clothes, using the identity of a businessman as a disguise to pass through Yuan Shao's defense zone.

But when he thought about this plan, even if it succeeded, he would be criticized, so Liu Yu had no choice but to give up.

Although it is a turbulent time, we should still have some bottom line in life. We should not do things that have no bottom line.

Xu You laughed, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Uncle, this is not difficult. Although I have left Yuan Shao, I have the password and hand order of Yuan's army. Even if Yuan Shao knows that I have left, it may be difficult for him to change the password in a short time.

As long as the emperor uncle gathers his troops as quickly as possible, I guarantee that he can capture Wuchao in one battle."

Liu Yu was overjoyed when he heard this. He seemed to have seen the scene in the near future when he would lead his men to capture Wuchao in one fell swoop.

"If this plan succeeds, Ziyuan will be the first to receive the credit. When the time comes, I will report this to Your Majesty and promote Ziyuan to a higher position.
