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

Chapter 138: Rites and Music between the Han Emperor and His Ministers, Emperor Liu's Visit

"It doesn't matter whether we take Taiyuan Shangyao or not. It's normal that Cao Pi couldn't take it down. Shangyao is a capable man, so just treat him as a training exercise!"

Luo Yuan drank rice wine without caring. Below Taiyuan was Hedong, which was Cao Cao's core area. It would be best if Cao Pi won, but if he couldn't, Cao Cao would naturally help.

"Can Meng De still watch Cao Pi suffer? While we are talking here, Meng De may have already sent his generals to fight!"

Zhong Yao was stunned and then started laughing. He was actually just making small talk. Now that Luo Yuan was back, how Chang'an would develop would all depend on Luo Yuan's mood.

Zhong Yao now feels that his position is somewhat awkward.

Can't be compared with Gongqi!
Chang'an is now prosperous and naturally has value. He is also afraid that someone in Yecheng will set his sights on Chang'an and replace him.

Xun You, Cheng Yu, those people are all Cao Cao's confidants.

His relationship with Cao Cao was more complicated. If you say he was Cao Cao's subject, then in fact he was a Han official and had been an official longer than Cao Cao. If you say he was not a Han official, then he did not want to rebel against Cao Cao, but he was not a core member of Cao's camp.

He and Cao Cao were like friends and subjects to each other, and he was also a member of the aristocratic family.

"Chang'an is now prosperous and strategically located, and Ma Teng has also gone to Xuchang. Gongqi, what do you think I should do in the future?"

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "That's your business, uncle. After I come back from this trip to the grassland, I will accompany Wen Ji to pay homage to her father-in-law, and then go to Maoling to pay homage to Emperor Wu and Wei Huo. Then I will also go south!"

"Gong Qi is leaving?"

"Uncle, do you want me to occupy Guanzhong and become a vassal?"

Zhong Yao whispered, "That's fine. Gongqi and Mengde have a good relationship. As long as you don't rebel against Mengde, Mengde will be powerless if you occupy Guanzhong. The Qin Dynasty has had Guanzhong for 400 years. Gongqi governed the country well, and the soldiers obeyed him. Why don't you stay?"

"Haha!" Luo Yuan shook his head and refused, looking down on Guanzhong.

I still have to go to Jingzhou to watch Meng De get humiliated. If I don't watch such a great show as the Battle of Red Cliff, am I going to stay in Guanzhong and starve?

"I am the governor of Changsha appointed by the emperor. Han Xuan killed me before. How can I let it go? A gentleman should take revenge in this life!" Luo Yuan said, "Guanzhong is a place of life and death. The alliance between Ma Teng and Han Sui has been broken, but Hanzhong is close to Guanzhong. Zhang Lu should not be underestimated. Uncle, keep an eye on it!"

Luo Yuan stood up and looked at Zhong Yao and said, "Uncle, be on guard against the Hu people day and night. When I lead the army to the north in the future, it will be time for you to surrender!"

Zhong Yao was stunned. Are you talking like a human being?

Luo Yuan has left. He hasn't seen Wen Ji and Zhen Ji for two months. He misses them very much.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Luo Yuan hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should tell Wen Ji about his son.

Luo Yuan didn't care that Wen Ji had given birth to a child. What choice did a woman have at that time? Wen Ji's life was already miserable enough.

I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the pain of losing a child again.

Luo Yuan entered the house and immediately shouted, "I'm back!"

But after waiting for a while, there was no one at home. After a while, a servant found Luo Yuan. It turned out that Wen Ji and Zhen Ji went to the military camp outside the city to pick him up.

Luo Yuan smiled bitterly. That’s good!
He waited for a while, and Xu Shu, Wen Ji and others came back. Wen Ji and Zhen Ji quickly knelt down in front of Luo Yuan in the middle hall, "I wish my husband good luck in military affairs!"

Luo Yuan was stunned. When he watched the Taiga dramas, he often saw women from daimyo families congratulating men in this way.

Are Han people like this too?

Luo Yuan wanted the two to get up, but Xu Shu looked at Luo Yuan and said, "My lord, how can you take off your armor by yourself? Please put on your armor and let the two ladies take off their armor!"

Luo Yuan asked, "Why?" Xu Shu replied confidently, "It's courtesy!"

Xu Shu looked at Luo Yuan and even got a little angry. Are you a Han Chinese?

I don’t even know this!
When Luo Yuan saw that Xu Shu was angry, he quickly put on his armor again. Wen Ji and Zhen Ji nodded in satisfaction. One helped Luo Yuan take off his helmet, and the other helped Luo Yuan take off his armor. They put the armor, sword, etc. on the tray, and then saluted Luo Yuan again to celebrate his safe return!

Xu Shu stood aside and shouted "The ceremony is over" like the eunuch.

Wen Ji and Zhen Ji hurried over and touched Luo Yuan's body all over!
"Don't do this, there are outsiders here!" Luo Yuan felt embarrassed.

Xu Shu rolled his eyes at Luo Yuan, and immediately realized that Wen Ji and Zhen Ji were checking if he was injured, not asking for pleasure.

Another gift!
It turns out that this is the Han ritual. When the husband goes to war, the women will personally see him off, and when the husband comes back, the women will also welcome him.

The Japs learned Chinese etiquette!
The Tang Dynasty’s system of clothing and etiquette and music for the Han Dynasty’s rulers and ministers?
Pooh!
A thief is a thief. Why do you say it so nicely?
Luo Yuan then sat down. Wen Ji and Zhen Ji had already gone back to prepare wine and food.

Xu Shu then said, "Sun Qian has come to Chang'an to see the lord."

What the hell?

Luo Yuan looked at Xu Shu and said, "I heard you right. You are talking about Sun Qian, the Sun Qian under Uncle Liu?"

Xu Shu laughed: "It was him. I met him and asked him about it. Liu Huangshu had a fight with Jiangdong!"

"Why?"

"After the lord left Jingzhou, Zhou Yu attacked Jiangling by surprise. However, Jiangling's garrison commander Wen Pin got into a fight with Zhou Yu for some reason. Zhou Yu wanted to take Jiangling for Jingzhou's grain, but Wen Pin gave the grain to his uncle. Zhou Yu thought it was because of his uncle, so he attacked Jiangxia by surprise and robbed Jiangxia's military grain. Yun Chang was in Jiangxia at the time, and he chased Zhou Yu in anger, but was defeated by Zhou Yu."

There is such a thing, why is that?

Luo Yuan had a dazed look on his face, wondering if it was because of him.

Xu Shu looked at Luo Yuan and said with a smile: "I heard from Sun Qian that it was all because of the Lord!"

"Nonsense! I'm far away in Guanzhong and I don't know what's going on in Jingzhou. What does it have to do with me?"

Xu Shu asked, "My lord, have you made an agreement with Wen Pin to take Jiangling?"

"Ah... about this, he is like this..." Luo Yuan suddenly remembered that this really happened.

But it had been several months since he set out from Jingzhou to the north, so how could he remember that incident?

"I did have an agreement with Wen Pin to take Jiangling, but when I left Jingzhou, I sent someone to remind Wen Pin to make his own choice carefully!"

Xu Shu looked at Luo Yuan and said, "That's the problem. Wen Pin had been waiting for the Lord to take Jiangling, but when he saw that only Zhou Yu came, he thought it was a sneak attack from Jiangdong and fought back vigorously. The Lord was still the Emperor's uncle's man at that time, so Wen Pin gave the food to the Emperor's uncle. Now Wen Pin is still defending Jiangling and waiting for the Lord to take it!"

"Is he... is he that real?"

Luo Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was something he had never expected. "I... didn't mean to marry Jiang Ling!"

"But Wen Pin promised the lord and is waiting for the lord. The emperor's uncle's Jiangxia was looted by Zhou Yu. Now the emperor's uncle wants Jiangling to ease the relationship with Jiangdong. But Wen Pin is determined to defend Jiangling. He has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and he is not afraid of trouble!"

Jiangling is an important town in Jingzhou, and Jingzhou’s navy is all in Jiangling!
If Wen Pin guards Jiangling tightly, no one will be able to do anything!
