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

Zhou Yu stood quietly at the gate of Wu County, staring at it solemnly. At this moment, his heart was like a surging tide, with mixed feelings that were hard to describe.

His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the days of war and battle in the past, when he and Sun Ce galloped across the battlefield and fought bravely against the enemy.

I still remember the moment when they worked together to conquer Wu County, the two of them walked side by side and walked into the city with their heads held high.

At that moment, the sunlight shone on them, illuminating two faces full of vitality and confidence, as if the whole world was at their feet, and the grand imperial ambitions were just a piece of cake.

However, time flies and fate plays tricks on people. How long has it been? Sun Ce, who was once heroic and ambitious, unfortunately died young;

And now, Sun Quan chose to surrender to Liu Yu. His former ambitions vanished in an instant, and all his efforts and dreams were shattered like a bubble.

Zhou Yu sighed deeply, his heart filled with endless sadness and helplessness.

The Wu County Gate, which has witnessed countless glories and vicissitudes, still stands tall, but the passion and enthusiasm that once accompanied it have gone with the wind...

Zhou Yu had already received Sun Quan's letter, in which he had clearly explained the cause and effect of the matter.

Now, there is no other choice except to surrender to the emperor's uncle. As for the opportunity mentioned by Sun Quan in the letter, Zhou Yu is also not optimistic about it.

What kind of person is Liu Huangshu? He is extremely intelligent and has far-reaching knowledge. How could a person who can plan to such an extent easily leave opportunities?

If Sun Quan could really see an opportunity, this opportunity would definitely be a trap.

The city gate slowly opened, and Liu Yu appeared. Behind him, a group of civil officials and military generals followed closely behind him.

Zhou Yu collected his thoughts, dismounted, and watched Liu Yu slowly stand still. He took a few steps forward and bowed.

"I, the humble general Zhou Yu, pay my respects to Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu is kind and generous, and has the demeanor of a wise ruler in ancient times. If you don't mind, I am willing to follow Uncle Liu to fight on the battlefield and serve you like a dog or a horse."

Liu Yu stepped forward quickly, supported Zhou Yu, and said with a smile: "Gongjin's talent is rare in the world. If you are willing to serve me, it will be like the rise of the Han Dynasty just like the Qin Dynasty had Wang Jian."

Zhou Yu's face did not show any emotion when he heard the praise. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Wang Jian is a victorious general who is a master at using troops. I have been defeated by the emperor's uncle several times, so how can I dare to be on the same level as Wang Jian?"

Liu Yu smiled faintly and said, "Gongjin, I won this battle by luck. Gongjin, don't take it seriously. If we really met on the battlefield, I would definitely not be your opponent."

Liu Yu's words were not modesty. The reason why he was able to win was that he had an advance understanding of previous historical events.

It was on the basis of summarizing these things that he achieved victory on the battlefield.

If the two armies were facing each other in an unknown environment, facing the wise Zhou Yu, it would probably not be easy for Liu Yu to win.

Liu Yu's words made Zhou Yu feel ashamed. Uncle Liu had made such great achievements, yet he could still be so humble. His broad mind and heart were truly convincing.

It must be because of this that many civil and military officials were able to serve him wholeheartedly.

Liu Yu slowly looked back again, and saw that behind Zhou Yu were a group of generals from Jiangdong, among whom Liu Yu had seen Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others before. Liu Yu comforted them with a few words and was about to turn around, but he saw at the end of the generals, Zu Mao, with his upper body naked, carrying a bramble on his back, kneeling on the ground.

Liu Yu walked forward, grabbed Zu Mao, and asked, "Darong, why is this?"

Zu Mao was so emotional that he choked up and said, "I received the emperor's uncle's life-saving grace, but not only did I not think of repaying him, I also used a self-torture trick to deceive him. Now that I think about it, I am really ungrateful and act like a beast!"

Liu Yu helped Zu Mao up, forcibly pulled him up and said, "Da Rong, this is different. Some time ago, you and I served different masters. You used the self-torture trick, which is not ungrateful at all.

In my opinion, it is just the opposite. You are willing to bear the pain of being beaten to help Jiangdong win. This is an act of great loyalty and righteousness, and I admire you very much. "

Zu Mao wiped away a tear and asked uncertainly, "Does Liu Huangshu really think so?"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "We have known each other for more than a day or two. Have you ever seen me say anything against my will?"

Zu Mao recalled carefully and it seemed that there really wasn't any.

How could a righteous person like Liu Bei, who holds a high position and is willing to sacrifice his life to save others, make statements against his will?

Seeing a smile on Zu Mao's face, Liu Yu invited everyone to Wu County.

The banquet was set up again in the spacious meeting hall.

After three rounds of drinks, Guo Jia started to get down to business.

"My lord, now that Jiangdong has been secured, we should take advantage of the situation and send troops to take Jingzhou."

Guo Jia was right. With Zhou Yu and Gongjin leading their soldiers back, Jiangdong no longer had any strong resistance.

In addition, Liu Yu had previously asked Zhang Zhao to handle the affairs of Jiangdong, and there had not been many changes in officials in various places. Liu Yu believed that with such an arrangement, Jiangdong had been basically pacified.

Even if there are any unusual movements in other places in the later stage, we only need to send a general to lead 10,000 soldiers to stabilize the situation.

Liu Yu looked around and pretended to be silent.

"Jingzhou is the heart of the world. Although Liu Biao is not a wise ruler, the navy of Jingzhou is very brave. I am worried that it will be difficult to win in a short time, so..."

Zhou Yu stood up and saluted, saying, "Uncle, I am not bragging, but in my eyes, the navy of Jingzhou is not worth mentioning at all. If you are willing to send troops to Jingzhou, I am willing to lead the navy as the vanguard."

Liu Yu had been waiting for a long time, just waiting for this sentence. When he saw Zhou Yu volunteering, Liu Yu laughed.

"Great! With Gongjin on the field, we have a chance of winning against Jingzhou.

In this case, I will also hand over Gan Ning's 10,000 naval forces to Gongjin. During this period, Gongjin can reorganize the army and wait for my order to attack Jiangxia. "

"Uncle, rest assured, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Hearing this, everyone present was secretly surprised.

Uncle Liu’s kindness and generosity are truly worthy of his reputation!

Not only did he not allow Zhou Yu to share even the slightest bit of military power, but he also handed over all the remaining naval forces to him to command and dispatch.

You have to know that Zhou Yu had just surrendered not long ago. If he had other thoughts and intentions in his mind, then on the vast river, he would gallop like a ferocious beast and no one would be able to resist him.

At this time, Jia Xu lowered his brows slightly, and on the surface he seemed not to pay too much attention to the situation in the field. In fact, he had already understood Liu Yu's intention in his heart.

Now, Jiangdong has been pacified, and many soldiers have successfully entered the heart of Jiangdong. No matter how powerful the Jiangdong navy is, they can only roam freely on the vast river.

Once they leave the water and step onto the vast land, the advantages they rely on will instantly disappear without a trace.
