The Three Kingdoms: General Yu She, reincarnated a hundred times.

……

After exchanging a few polite words, Sun Jian opened the jade box and presented it to Yu She.

Yu She looked at it and saw that the object in the box was four inches in diameter, with five dragons intertwined on it. One corner was missing and inlaid with gold. He picked it up and examined it. There were eight characters in seal script on it: "[By the mandate of Heaven, may you live long and prosper]".

Although Yu She did not recognize the imperial seal, the vast amount of knowledge that Yan Xiang had instilled in him included the story that "when Wang Mang usurped the throne, Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan struck Wang Xun and Su Xian with the imperial seal, causing a corner of the seal to break off and be inlaid with gold."

Therefore, what is before me must be the Imperial Seal of the State.

However, given Sun Jian's past "misdeeds" of "stealing the imperial seal and harboring rebellious intentions," to prevent him from being fooled by a fake seal and having difficulty explaining himself to Yuan Shao, Yu She still advised Sun Jian:

"It is better to keep one's own master at the same time. I would like to trouble my nephew Bo Fu to go to Nanyang with She and personally present this seal to Lord Yuan."

If this pleases Lord Yuan greatly, he will likely bestow upon Bo Fu an official position. What do you think?

Unexpectedly, there was an even greater surprise: his son had only met Yu She once and called him "uncle," yet Yu She was already trying to secure an official position for him.

"Zichuan is such an honest and kind person!"

Sun Jian hurriedly ordered Sun Ce, "Bo Fu, why don't you thank your uncle for his help? When will you?"

Sun Ce hurriedly bowed and saluted again, and Yu She helped him up, chuckling lightly.

"It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about. Since Bo Fu calls me uncle, I will certainly plan ahead for him."

As he spoke, he handed the silk scroll in his hand to Sun Jian, saying, "In that case, the position of Governor of Yu Province shall be given to Wentai. I hope that Wentai will quickly prepare the army, quell the rebellion in Yu Province, and march north to attack Dong Zhuo, so as to restore the Han Dynasty."

Sun Ce, who was overhearing this, realized that Yu She hadn't come here to take his imperial seal for free.

The high position of governor of a province has now fallen to Sun Jian. Sun Ce will be the young master of Yu Province from now on. The rise of the Sun family is just around the corner.

He then broke free from Yu She's grasp, bowed again, and said:

"Thank you, Uncle!"

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

Unlike the previous two polite greetings, this bow was sincere, and the address of "Uncle" came from the bottom of his heart.

This was because he had previously advised Sun Jian several times to use the seal as collateral to borrow some troops, money, and provisions from Yuan Shu to increase his family's wealth, and then deliberately not return the troops to Yuan Shu.

"At worst, we can just pawn the imperial seal to Yuan Shu and forget about it, making a fortune for nothing!"

However, Sun Jian insisted on refusing. Unexpectedly, Yu She came today and not only persuaded Sun Jian to exchange the imperial seal, but also gained far more than just troops and provisions. He even got the governorship of Yuzhou, which he had never dared to dream of before!

"He really is my 'real' uncle!"

……

Sun Jian finally accepted the silk scroll that Yu She had brought out earlier, thinking that Zichuan's visit today, every word and action, was for the long-term benefit of the Sun family.

Sun Jian knew Yuan Shu's character all too well. If no one had spoken highly of him, would he have so easily given him the position of governor?

Thinking of this, his gaze toward Yu She was filled with emotion.

"I have heard that generals such as Lei Bu and Chen Lan often invite Zichuan to banquets. Since Zichuan has come all this way today, he should stay at my residence for a few more days before leaving. We brothers can drink and chat and catch up."

"This…"

Having finally managed to appease Sun Jian and then tricked him into giving up the imperial seal with a few words, Yu She was afraid that things might change if he delayed any longer, so he dared not linger any longer.

He then feigned hesitation, saying, "I still have important responsibilities to bear..."

"How can we be in such a hurry to leave after just arriving? It's already late, and the Imperial Seal is very valuable. How can we travel through the night?"

"Zichuan, please stay for another day. Tomorrow morning, wait for Jian to deploy the troops, and have Gongfu lead three thousand soldiers to escort you."

Sun Jian then gave him a meaningful look and winked, saying, "Xinye may be small, but its dancers have a unique charm..."

Yu She: "..."

"Where did you hear these rumors? Don't act like I, Yu, am a fan of dancers!"

Alas! In the end, it was Lei Bu and Chen Lan who ruined me.

On ordinary days, Yu She would have stayed, since rewarding himself "occasionally" is a necessary balance between work and rest.

Having just narrowly escaped death, Yu She had no desire to stay in Xinye any longer.

What if someone suggests something tonight and persuades Sun Jian, whom I just convinced, to go back to his old ways? Wouldn't that be a loss?

"Besides, Nanyang isn't without dancers!"

He resolutely refused, displaying great righteousness.

"The great cause of the nation, a matter of life and death, cannot be delayed because of the weather."

"Wen Tai, there's no need to persuade me further. When I have some free time in the future, I will certainly come to your residence again to bother you, and we will drink until we're thoroughly drunk. Right now, matters of state are of utmost importance, so I cannot stay any longer."

After saying that, he pretended to be affectionate and patted Sun Ce on the shoulder, "Bo Fu, quickly pack your bags and come with me. This time, your uncle will definitely ask Lord Yuan for a good job for you."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Sun Jian had no choice but to give up, and could only sigh inwardly.

"He was willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good, and tirelessly served the king!"

Zichuan, you are truly a righteous man!

He then ordered Huang Gai to lead 3,000 soldiers to escort Yu She and Sun Ce to Nanyang overnight.

……

Meanwhile, Yu She spurred his horse and fled back to Nanyang, arriving directly at Yuan Shu's residence at dawn.

The servants in the mansion, upon seeing that it was the "civil and military general" that Lord Yuan had been longing for, did not even need to announce his arrival, and hurriedly invited him in early in the morning.

Yu She then ordered Sun Ce to wait outside for the time being and not to move around, while he went in first to say some good words to him.

Seeing the servants of the Yuan family fawning over Yu She, Sun Ce knew all too well the status of his uncle in Yuan Gong's heart. At this moment, having just arrived in Nanyang, he was entirely dependent on Yu She's care, and he was too grateful to refuse.

……

Yu She quickly entered the Yuan residence and was about to go to the study to wait when he unexpectedly saw Yuan Shu, still sleepy-eyed and not even having time to put on his shoes, rushing over to greet him.

He had clearly just received the report and had just gotten out of bed.

"I never expected my lord to value me so highly. Considering how I betrayed my lord and defected to the enemy in my previous lives, even Yu She felt a pang of guilt in his heart!"

Then he saw Yuan Shu exclaim with delight, "The Imperial Seal of the State has arrived!" He quickly stepped forward, spread his hand towards Yu She, and his meaning was self-evident.

(Reaching into his pocket!)

Yu She: "..."

"It's my familiar lord! I feel ashamed of the slight guilt I felt earlier!"

……

As for Yuan Shu, Yu She naturally changed his tune again, specifically choosing from the ancient and modern principles taught by Yan Xiang to congratulate Yuan Shu on obtaining the imperial seal, and flattering him with these words.

"I have successfully completed my mission!"

In the past, Emperor Gaozu obtained the imperial seal from Ziying, and even the mighty Xiang Yu could not defeat him. Emperor Guangwu obtained the imperial seal in Yiyang, and Wang Mang, with a million soldiers, was wiped out. This shows the will of Heaven!

Now Dong Zhuo has burned and looted Luoyang, the Han dynasty is in decline, the emperor is in hiding, our lord has been a high-ranking official for four generations, his disciples and former officials are all over the country, Nanyang is wealthy and prosperous, and its soldiers are plentiful.

If we wait for a change in the political situation, raise our arms and call upon the emperor, wielding the power of the emperor to command the righteousness of the world, then people from all over the world will flock to us, and great undertakings can be accomplished and great things can be expected.

This treasure, bestowed by Heaven, is yours, and I offer my congratulations.
