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

In recent days, Nanzheng has been shrouded in dark clouds, and a storm is imminent, just like the haze in people's hearts.

Liu Yu sat quietly under the pavilion, gazing at the ever-changing clouds in the sky, sometimes stretching out like cotton wool, sometimes curling up like a dragon.

His heart was like the sky full of wind and clouds, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind, making it difficult to calm down.

Recalling the conversation with Jia Xu that day, Liu Yu still felt his heart beating fast.

What Jia Xu said at that time seemed to be spoken casually and carelessly.

But Liu Yu clearly felt that this matter would never be so simple.

That thought would never be a sudden idea of ​​Jia Xu's. On the contrary, it must have been lingering in Jia Xu's heart countless times.

Now, they are only one step away from conquering Yizhou. If they can successfully defeat Cao Cao, the Han Dynasty will be able to return to a unified situation.

However, at this critical moment, Jia Xu suddenly raised such a question, which really surprised Liu Yu, and even shocked him greatly.

As Jia Xu said, let’s not talk about whether we can defeat the powerful Cao Cao, even if we finally succeed in defeating Cao’s army.

But if Liu Yu took the initiative to hand over the power in his hands and retired to the mountains, it would probably cause huge waves and turmoil.

Because Liu Yu knew very well in his heart that this idea did not come from Jia Xu alone, but behind him stood a group of people who had the same intention.

The Han Dynasty was in decline and the emperor was young, so Liu Yu took on the responsibility of reviving the Han Dynasty. In this process, he gathered countless counselors and famous generals, which led to the current situation.

Although these famous ministers and generals successfully accelerated the pace of unification, they also made them dependent on themselves!

There is no doubt that Liu Yu and Guo Jia must be the most typical representative among them.

Guo Jia despised etiquette and was unruly, and had no respect for the emperor at all.

Although he had never told him these things, the more Liu Yu thought about it, the more unusual it seemed.

He wondered secretly whether Jia Xu and Guo Jia would take action secretly without telling him.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt as if there were thorns in his back, a chill penetrated his bones, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.

You know, both Guo Jia and Jia Xu are rare wise men in the world today.

If these two really joined hands to plan a strategy and put it into practice, then Liu Yu would probably not be able to withstand it with his own abilities.

Although it is currently unknown whether they have an action plan and what the specific content is, one thing is beyond doubt - if they take any action, the target will definitely be Your Majesty!

Your Majesty is now sitting safely in Chang'an City. The palace is closely guarded by Chen Dao and his generals, and the city is guarded by fierce generals such as Lu Bu.

With such an iron-clad defense, even if Guo Jia used all his wisdom and painstaking efforts to plan his actions, it would probably be of little use and would be difficult to accomplish.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu's originally tense heartstrings relaxed a little, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Just as he was about to reach out to pick up the teacup on the table and take a sip of the fragrant tea to relax himself, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xu Chu who had been standing quietly behind him.

In an instant, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning, causing Liu Yu's heart to tremble violently and his arm to shake uncontrollably. The exquisite teacup actually fell to the ground, making a crisp breaking sound.

Seeing this, Xu Chu quickly stepped forward, bent down and carefully picked up the broken teacup. With a look of concern on his face, he asked softly, "My lord, what happened that has made you so panicked?"

Liu Yu raised his hand with a serious expression and waved it gently towards Xu Chu, signaling him to keep quiet for the time being.

At this moment, his brain was working rapidly, and the difficult problem that he had just been thinking about in the depths of his mind had gradually revealed some clues and clues.

Liu Yu knew very well that this issue was of vital importance and would not tolerate any interference or interruption.

Upon seeing this, Xu Chu silently retreated behind Liu Yu without saying a word, standing with his head held high and chest puffed out as usual, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his expression solemn and silent.

For a moment, there was silence all around, except for the rustling sound of the leaves in the breeze.

Time passed quietly, and no one knew how much time had passed. Perhaps it was just a short moment, but for Liu Yu who was immersed in thinking, it seemed like a long time.

Finally, Liu Yu's frown slowly relaxed, and his originally tense face gradually relaxed - he finally figured out the most critical point of the matter!

If Guo Jia really wanted to take some action against the emperor, then given the current situation, it would be absolutely impossible for him to launch a large-scale frontal attack.

After all, acting in this way is too blatant and risky, and will easily arouse the vigilance and backlash of various forces.

Therefore, the most likely scenario is a carefully planned assassination within a small area.

As long as he succeeded in murdering the emperor, Guo Jia could take the opportunity to shift the blame to the remnants of the Yuan family or the spies within Cao Cao.

Of course, there is a safer and more reliable method, which is to try to make the emperor die suddenly.

In this way, it will not cause too much noise and can achieve the goal smoothly.

However, no matter whether choosing assassination or creating the illusion of sudden death, one extremely key figure cannot be avoided - Chen Dao!

If Chen Dao had not secretly acquiesced or even acted as an insider, no matter how hard Guo Jia tried, it would be nothing but a foolish dream to realize the above plan!

When I think of Chen Dao, countless memories come flooding back to my mind like a tide.

I still remember when I first stepped into Chang'an City, not only was I unfamiliar with the place, but I also faced many unknown dangers and threats.

In order to ensure his own safety, Liu Yu thought about finding a few guards with strong martial arts skills to protect him closely.

Perhaps it is true that "no matter how hard you try, you still cannot find it; when you find it, it comes without any effort." Just when Liu Yu was struggling to find a suitable candidate, he met Chen Dao by chance.

When Chen Dao learned of the true identity of Emperor Liu Yu's uncle, an expression of ecstasy immediately appeared on his face. He gave up his original plan to go find his relatives without hesitation and resolutely decided to follow him from then on.

From then on, whether it was obtaining the crucial imperial edict to fight against Dong Zhuo from Luoyang, or rushing to Hulao Pass to participate in the thrilling battle to fight against Dong Zhuo, or even finally successfully pacifying the chaotic situation in Chang'an City, Chen Dao always stayed by Liu Yu's side.

During this long and turbulent period, although Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were brave, they had no intention of surrendering at the time. Most of the time, they only provided a certain degree of assistance out of morality and friendship.

As for Zhao Yun, he was temporarily seconded by Gongsun Zan; and as for the old senior Wang Yue, they came together purely for the purpose of killing Dong Zhuo.

After careful calculation, the only one who can be truly called a capable general under Liu Yu is Chen Dao!
