The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 136 Cao Cao sends an envoy to join forces with Soochow, and Cao also has a keen eye for porcelain as a medium
Although Cao Cao felt that his subordinates were not very ambitious, he did not say anything. Cheng Yu, Xun You and others were also loyal to him. Although they were not as loyal as Luo Yuan, he could use them easily.

Luo Yuan is a good person, but he is too dangerous.

When Cheng Yu and others saw Cao Cao's expression, they smiled bitterly in their hearts. They naturally realized that Cao Cao did not take Luo Yuan seriously at all.

I want to advise, but I don’t know how to say it.

It is useless to just slander Luo Yuan. The famous people in the world are not so easy to slander. We can only watch out for Luo Yuan's mistakes and wait for the opportunity.

Xun You and others were actually very shocked at Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan, with the troops of Ma Chao and Han Sui, achieved results in just over a month.

This is too fast.

Driving out the Huns would naturally be beneficial to Cao Cao, as it would make the north safer.

In this regard, Luo Yuan helped Cao Cao a lot, but could Luo Yuan achieve victory so easily?

Then what was Cao Cao doing during his years in the north?
Doesn't it serve to highlight how incompetent the loyal ministers of the Cao family are?

This is what makes Cheng Yu and others upset.

There is another thing. A lot of Liu Xie's calligraphy and paintings have recently been circulated in Xudu. These calligraphy and paintings are all printed with the seal of the imperial seal. Cheng Yu and others think that this matter is related to Luo Yuan.

After the emperor and Luo Yuan met, he actually became a painter, which felt very strange.

Cheng Yu wanted to remind Cao Cao to pay attention to the emperor's movements, but Xun You shook his head as soon as he saw him. The boss was in a good mood right now, so it was not necessary to talk about those bad things.

Cheng Yu had no choice but to give up!
Cao Cao said at this time: "I want to fight for Jingyang next year. Liu Bei and Sun Quan are both great threats. Now Liu Bei has occupied Xinye and has Jiangxia as his support. If he joins forces with Sun Quan, he may become a great enemy of mine. What do you think?"

Sun Quan occupied Jiangdong, owned six counties, had a large number of soldiers and sufficient food, and had the natural barrier of the Yangtze River.

Cao Cao is out of reach in the north!
Sima Yi immediately said, "Prime Minister, you can send an envoy to Jiangdong. Now that Liu Bei has defeated our army, he is in high spirits. How can Jiangdong not see this? You can send someone to contact Sun Quan and attack Liu Bei together to divide his land and power. Sun Quan will surely be tempted, and this will cut off the possibility of Sun and Liu joining forces."

Cao Cao asked other people again, and they all thought it was okay, so they did it immediately. They sent someone to contact Sun Quan and made an appointment to attack Liu Bei together!
After this was said, Cao Cao laughed and said, "Gong Qi has already made an agreement with Ma Teng and others in Chang'an. Ma Teng and others will arrive in Xuchang soon. The three prefectures have been pacified, and I can rest assured. After pacifying Liu Bei, I can take Hanzhong and Zhang Lu and send troops to Bashu and other prefectures!"

The world is going to be unified!

Just thinking about it, Cao Cao was delighted. He never thought that he would be able to accomplish such a grand cause as unifying the world.

When the world is unified, I will definitely become the emperor.

By then, he will be the most powerful person in the world.

At that time, he could recruit Luo Yuan to be an official, and Gong Qi would probably not refuse.

Given Gongqi's age, he would be able to help Cao's empire even after his death.

Seeing Cao Cao happy, everyone also laughed. That scene was too beautiful. The world would be unified, and those who followed Cao Cao should be given official titles, make wishes, and live a peaceful life.

The aristocratic families are still the aristocratic families.

Everyone congratulated Cao Cao immediately.

Cao Cao waved his hand modestly and then adjourned the meeting. When he arrived at the backyard, he saw a lot of porcelain in the living room, both large and small, extremely exquisite.

"My Lord, your art is wonderful. I love the exquisite porcelain. Even the emperor doesn't have so many. Isn't it precious to me?"

He possesses more porcelain than the emperor, so he is definitely a noble person.

Mrs. Bian has become accustomed to Cao Cao's behavior. She likes these porcelains, and so do the nobles. Even if she doesn't need them, she can use them as burial objects when she dies.

Being able to use porcelain as burial objects is definitely a privilege.

When you die and go to the underworld and meet your ancestors, and they ask you how you lived, how will you answer?
Of course, it’s to look at the burial objects.

Those who have porcelain are awesome. Is there any need to say whether they live a good life or not?
The Han people treated the dead as if they were alive, and the Han Dynasty was even more particular about burying the dead with extravagance, otherwise Cao Cao would not have appointed a tomb-raiding lieutenant to dig graves to supplement military expenses. Madam Bian thought about it, because recently many nobles had come to her to hint that they wanted to buy porcelain, but it was not easy to fire porcelain at present!
As soon as it was burned, it was sent to Cao Cao.

"Why not sell some to help with the expenses?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "But those people are looking for you again!"

"Every day, people come to me and ask for higher and higher prices for porcelain. They are willing to pay millions for small porcelain so that they can use it for ancestor worship at the end of the year. Not to mention the big ones."

Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Those people used to look down on Gongqi, but now they are paying for the porcelain invented by Gongqi. It's really ridiculous!"

"They are all your subjects. Selling some of them will help appease them!"

Cao Cao nodded, "I deliberately didn't sell them, just waiting for them to pay. A million dollars is not bad, I am very satisfied. Then you can choose one or two to sell to them, and say that I didn't know about this matter, it was your own decision!"

Mrs. Bian nodded, feeling that Cao Cao was really treacherous.

'

However, Cao Cao did not think that he was treacherous. Those nobles were all very rich, and seeing that he had no money, they did not take the initiative to give him money.

In this case, we can't blame him for selling porcelain at a high price.

While talking to Mrs. Bian, Cao Cao's eldest daughter Cao Jie also came to see the porcelain. Cao Jie also liked porcelain and wanted to ask for one after seeing Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's heart moved.

Cao Jie is about the same age as Gong Qi!
"But you want china?"

Cao Jie nodded quickly, "Father, are you willing to give it up?"

"I'm reluctant, but I know someone you'll definitely be interested in!"

Cao Jie suddenly knew who Cao Cao was talking about: "But Luo Yuan, Luo Gongqi, is he coming to Yecheng again?"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Ajie, would you like to meet Gongqi?"

Cao Jie smiled and said, "I heard that Gongqi is very knowledgeable about human nature and is a famous scholar in the world. Does father also respect him?"

Well versed in human nature?

Ha ha!

That man was a cruel and ruthless person. He was called a Han minister, but he was actually a Han traitor. He was a more genuine Han traitor than himself.

You have all been deceived by Luo Yuan.

Cao Cao thought about it and said, "Actually, Luo Yuan is not as good as Ah Jie thinks. He is a very bad person."

Cao Ji was stunned. How could it be possible?

She totally disagreed with Cao Cao's view and said, "Father had a banquet at the Bronze Sparrow Tower and invited Wen Ji to play the zither. Everyone ignored Wen Ji's talent, but Gong Qi invited Wen Ji to the seat. Didn't father and others sit down with Gong Qi to listen to Wen Ji playing the zither? Gong Qi is a connoisseur and understands human nature better than father!"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Jie in silence, then burst into laughter. He saw that Cao Jie had a good impression of Luo Yuan, so he immediately joked, "Luo Yuan is a man of discernment, and my family also has people with discerning eyes. When Ah Jie grows up, will she be willing to marry Luo Yuan? I will propose marriage for you, and Gongqi, please don't refuse my kindness."

Cao Jie's face suddenly turned red: "That's not what I meant..."

"Then do you want it?"

Cao Jie looked at Cao Cao, thought about it and nodded slightly: "Then it's all up to father!"
