Chapter 14 Sun Quan Wants to Poach Kong Ming
Luo Yuan didn't care at all what Liu Bei would think. He was Zhuge Liang's man and had the relationship with Kong Ming. As long as he didn't do anything like backstabbing, Liu Bei wouldn't care at all.

In any case, Liu Bei would have to marry Dongwu sooner or later. It was not a matter of whether Liu Bei was willing or not. As long as Liu Bei wanted to occupy Jingzhou, he had to appease Dongwu, otherwise he would be attacked from both Dongwu and Cao Cao.

There is no need to even think about plotting against Xichuan.

He was just a little ahead of schedule, and Luo Yuan estimated that he would not succeed because at that time Liu Bei and Soochow had no basis for marriage.

Liu Bei's marriage with Eastern Wu was all planned out step by step by Zhuge Liang.

Sun Quan now has a lot of talented people under his command, owns six counties, and has the natural barrier of the Yangtze River. He has many advantages. Jingzhou is on the verge of chaos, so how can Sun Quan easily marry Liu Bei?

Uncle Liu is not in a good position now!

Luo Yuan didn't expect to form a marriage alliance with Jiangdong now. He just wanted to find an excuse to delay so that Dongwu would not make trouble at this time.

Delay it as long as possible!

In short, he could wait as long as the battles between Kong Ming and Cao Cao were over.

Seeing that Luo Yuan had made up his mind, Gan Ning did not say much and immediately sent someone to deliver Zhang Fei's letter to Chaisang.

Why is it Zhang Fei’s letter?
There is no other reason, it is because the current commander of Jiangxia is Zhang Fei, and the flag hanging on the city wall is also Zhang Fei's.

Luo Yuan is just an ordinary strategist, not the prefect of Jiangxia.

Gan Ning was stunned by this operation. You, Gong Qi, are really shameless.

Aren't you the one in charge of Jiangxia now? Aren't he and Zhang Fei both following Luo Gongqi's orders?

No wonder the three generals said that Luo Gongqi was shameless and evil-hearted!
Luo Yuan didn't care about the way Gan Ning looked at him: "You'll get used to it. When you're in the martial arts world, how can you easily let others know your name!"

I didn't open a smurf account, so you can thank me.

Gan Ning said: "Brilliant, that makes sense!"

"Is this what you mean?"

"Of course!" Gan Ning said seriously, "Am I the one who will say something against his will?"

"Since you said that, I'll take it seriously. How's your fishing going recently?"

Gan Ning felt helpless when he thought about it. He was training the navy, and Luo Yuan asked him to catch more fish. Anyway, he could do both training and fishing at the same time. He called it to replenish military rations and reduce the pressure on local people.

"We already have 200,000 kilograms of fish meat. That should be enough to eat for a while!"

"It's not enough, absolutely not enough," Luo Yuan knew that when Liu Bei left Xinye, tens of thousands of people followed him to Jiangxia.

When those people came, Jiangxia was under great pressure, and they couldn't just ignore the lives of the people.

Although the princes at that time basically did not care about the lives of the people, Luo Yuan could not do that. He could be cruel to the enemy, but he was kind to the people.

Luo Yuan whispered, "There are still some wealthy families in Jiangxia, see if you can rob them!"

Gan Ning was shocked: "We still need the help of the local nobles to govern Jiangxia. It would be bad to rob them!"

"You think so?" Luo Yuan looked at Gan Ning uncomfortably, "Isn't robbery your specialty?"

Gan Ning was displeased: "Gongqi, you also look down on my background!" "What are you thinking, you are crazy, if I looked down on you, why would I tell you to rob a rich man? I won't even tell the three generals about this kind of thing. It is because you are a brother that I let you do this. The idea is mine, and you are just responsible for doing the work. Who made you a military general and I am a civil servant?"

Luo Yuan patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and said, "After we occupied Jiangxia, I went out to check these few days and found that the local people were starving!"

"What does it have to do with us if they don't have food to eat?"

"This is a very profound subject. In one sentence, it is the close relationship between the army and the people. Specifically, I am worried that the people will rebel. We killed Huang Zu, and the news cannot be concealed for too long. How can the local wealthy families have no relationship with Huang Zu? Can they obey us? Maybe they are secretly trying to kill us. As the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace, so that you can last long." Luo Yuan said: "So we can't rely on those people, but on the poor people. But the poor people don't even have food to eat, so they will listen to whoever gives them food, right?"

Luo Yuan narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "My lord, you can't defeat Cao Cao in Xinye, and you will definitely retreat in the future. My lord will not want Xiangyang. So Jiangxia is our last shelter. Jiangxia has the convenience of the Yangtze River and is surrounded by river defenses. This is our foundation. Now that I am in power, I must eliminate these restless factors." Luo Yuan patted Gan Ning on the shoulder: "Can I let the third general do such things? With his temper, others will know about things before they are done. Only Xingba, you are the most stable, and I can rest assured when you do things."

Gan Ning immediately felt trusted. It turned out that Gong Qi cared about him so much. Thinking about Zhang Fei's character, Gan Ning felt that it made sense. He was indeed the most suitable person.

Who else can do this except myself?

Luo Gongqi is really good at judging people, very accurately.

Gan Ning immediately said: "Don't worry, Gongqi, if that's the case, I will definitely get it done for you. Who should we rob?"

Luo Yuan said: "I am not familiar with the local nobles, you should investigate secretly first, pick out some fat sheep, and then you will definitely hit them with one strike!"

Gan Ning couldn't help but say, "Gong Qi was also a thief, otherwise how would he know the word fat sheep?"

I know a lot, do I need to tell you?
Luo Yuan smiled slightly: "Don't ask, if you ask I just don't know."

Gan Ning laughed, "Talking to Gong Qi is really fun!"

Luo Yuan thought to himself, that’s for sure, is there anyone in the Three Kingdoms who is more approachable than me?

When Luo Yuan's people arrived in Jiangdong, the letter was immediately delivered to Sun Quan. Sun Quan already knew that Huang Zu was dead, and was secretly mobilizing ships to attack Jiangxia.

But Luo Yuan sent a letter asking for peace first, as if to say, "I know what you are going to do."

Sun Quan was shocked and quickly called a meeting of his men: "Zhang Fei has seen through our plan!"

Zhang Zhao asked, "Does Zhang Yide have such a plan?"

I do not know how?
After all, Zhang Fei’s flag is now hanging in Jiangxia, and everyone on Sun Quan’s side thinks that Zhang Fei is the commander of Jiangxia.

Lu Su's face twitched, and he said, "Zhang Fei definitely doesn't have such a strategy. I heard that Liu Bei hired a military advisor named Zhuge Liang, whose courtesy name was Kongming. Could it be that this was Kongming's wise strategy?"

As he spoke, Lu Su turned around and looked at Zhuge Jin beside him.

Sun Quan was a little confused. Why was Lu Su looking at Zhuge Jin?

Zhuge Jin smiled bitterly and said, "My Lord, Kong Ming is my second brother. He has been working as a farmer and studying in Nanyang. I didn't expect that he would follow Uncle Liu."

Sun Quan asked, "How do you compare with Kong Ming?"

Zhuge Jin laughed and said, "I am not as good as him. Kong Ming is comparable to Guan Zhong and Yue Yi!"

Sun Quan was shocked. After Zhuge Jin joined him, he had already demonstrated his talent and was quite capable in domestic affairs. It was even possible that Kong Ming was better than Guan Zhong and Yue Yi, who were all talented enough to be kings and tyrants.

Zhang Zhao's mind moved: "My lord, why don't we send someone to contact Kong Ming? Although Liu Huangshu is kind and righteous, he is weak and can't last long. If we can persuade Kong Ming to come to Jiangdong, Jiangxia can also be obtained!"
