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

Chapter 169 Captain Zhao is in a dilemma, Shi Tao rides away to Longzhong

Seeing that everyone was speechless for a moment, Zhao Mou said, "Why not ask Mr. Shui Jing to mediate? We will have a good discussion with him. If we can get the porcelain secret technique, that would be great. If not, we can at least clear up the misunderstanding between the two families!"

"that's it?"

"Otherwise, do you still want to attack him?" Zhao Mou said, "We have no life-and-death feud with Luo Yuan. Now we are not as good as him and cannot defeat him. It is better to talk to him and meet his demands. If a war really breaks out, who can defeat Huang Zhong, who dares to ask the heroes of the world?"

Huang Zhong has become famous because of his presence at the Prime Minister's gate and his question "Ask the heroes of the world".

Not to mention Huang Zhong, Zhao Mou felt that he could not defeat someone like Gan Ning.

They couldn't win, and although Luo Yuan didn't give them face, he didn't really want to make things difficult for them, so there was still a chance for peace talks.

As long as they lower their stance and hire a middleman of sufficient weight, things can still be negotiated.

The local Mr. Sima Hui, the Water Mirror, was highly respected.

Some people still refused to give up and said, "What does the governor mean?

Zhao Mou said: "I think he has regretted it and dare not offend Luo Yuan again. What's more, the Prime Minister's eldest daughter is in Luo Yuan's army. If the Prime Minister knew about it, I'm afraid we..."

Needless to say, these people understood that if Cao Cao knew that they were making things difficult for Luo Yuan, he would definitely not forgive them.

"What a pity for porcelain! It's such a precious treasure, one piece is worth millions of dollars!"

"If I had porcelain, it would be great for worshipping my ancestors at the beginning and end of the year..."

"Really? Can't we try again?"

Zhao Mou looked at these people and said angrily, "That's Luo Yuan, Luo Gongqi, the Prime Minister's honored guest. He single-handedly overran Jiangdong, killed Zhou Yu and tens of thousands of people, and swept through the Xiongnu in Yunzhong, burning everything to the ground. How dare you go too far with such a person? Aren't you afraid that he will attack the city?"

"How dare he? This is the Prime Minister's territory!" A member of the aristocratic family also became angry.

It's everyone's intention to make things difficult for Luo Yuan. Who doesn't want porcelain? Now that they can't get it, they're getting angry. Who wouldn't?

"He is the prime minister's son-in-law. Would he attack Yingchuan? The prime minister might come to attack him then!"

"Even so, our family is not without people in Yecheng. How can we keep our dignity if we bow our heads like this?"

"How about a trick?"

"How to say?"

"We will invite Luo Yuan to the city to apologize, and then force him to hand over the secret of porcelain... As long as he hands over the secret, we will give him some food and send him away with courtesy. How about that? Then we will get what we want, and we won't hurt his life, and we will also have an explanation to the Prime Minister!"

"That's not bad!"

Zhao Mou was stunned but didn't say anything. Those people had already discussed it and looked at Zhao Mou, asking him to do it.

Zhao Mou was not very willing. If he succeeded, Luo Yuan would hate him. If he failed, these people would hate him too!
He has to offend a group of people anyway.

He was the one who was in trouble. When one of them saw that Zhao Mou was unwilling, he said, "Zhao Mou, don't forget how you got the position of Yingchuan Lieutenant. If it weren't for us recommending you, how could you have become a Lieutenant!"

"That's it. Go talk to Luo Yuan and trick him into coming to the city. Then everything will be easy. Otherwise, do you think your family will be able to gain a foothold in Yingchuan in the future?"

Zhao Mou was annoyed. These people were really lawless and even threatened him.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you!"

After Zhao Mou left, he did not go to see Luo Yuan immediately, but went to visit Shi Tao first and told him about the situation. He knew that Luo Yuan and Shi Tao were friends, and hoped that Shi Tao could go with him to see Luo Yuan!
Having this person around might give Luo Yuan some face.

Shi Tao smiled bitterly and said, "General, you are totally wrong. If you think like this, you will probably die!"

Zhao Mou was shocked and asked, "What did you say, sir?"

"Who do you think Luo Yuan is? When Kong Ming and I were friends, Luo Yuan often said something shocking. He once said that we should kill our enemies like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Kong Ming was shocked by this. He even said that if you kill a million people, you are a hero. This guy is sometimes very magnanimous, but sometimes he can't tolerate a silver needle. He has his own ravines in his heart. Kong Ming and I dare not underestimate him. Even if I go with you, do you think he will give you face because of us?"

Shi Tao even laughed and said, "Gongqi asked me to borrow food, but I haven't gotten it yet. How can I face him? If you want to ask for help, you should be sincere. Gongqi values ​​​​real benefits more than reputation. Moreover, I think the nobles in the city have bad intentions. I can see it. How can a person like Gongqi not see it? The corpse outside the city today is probably Gongqi's warning to you!"

"warn?"

Zhao Mou did not tell Shi Tao about the nobles' plan, and seeing that Shi Tao could see it, he was also frightened.

Shi Tao smiled bitterly and said, "I know Gong Qi is a casual person. Now I present you with your body. If you do it again, I will kill you all without mercy!"

Zhao Mou was stunned and sat in his seat for a long time without moving!
That’s what it means!
He reacted and looked at Shi Tao and said, "Sir, Yingchuan belongs to the Prime Minister's territory, how dare he attack the city?"

"What's the big deal about attacking a city? You nobles are in the local area and don't know what's going on outside. Gongqi is in Chang'an, and Zhong Yao, the lieutenant of the imperial court, has Cao's heavy troops. Gongqi has taken over Chang'an, and people like Zhong Yao can only stare blankly. You are so different from Zhong Yao that you actually make things difficult for Gongqi. How can you overestimate your own abilities!"

Shi Tao looked at Zhao Mou and the others like he was looking at pigs and dogs: "The best way now is to send as many gifts as possible. As long as Gongqi is satisfied, everything will be fine. Don't have any other plans, otherwise you will die and your clan will be destroyed. You think Luo Gongqi's reputation is just a boast!"

Shi Tao pressed the case and looked at Zhao Mou fiercely, "He gained his fame through killing. Behind his fame, there are countless bones. It's useless for you to invite Sima Hui. Unless you can invite Kong Ming, maybe Gong Qi will be more polite to you because of our old friendship. My face is not enough!"

Zhao Mou was really scared this time. Sima Hui was useless? He was a local celebrity and also Kong Ming's teacher.

As he was thinking, Shi Tao remembered something: "Could the local Zhong family be involved in embarrassing Gong Qi?"

"Involved!"

Shi Tao took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Mou and smiled bitterly: "Unless Kong Ming comes in person, your affairs will not be settled!"

Zhao Mou took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Seeing Shi Tao suddenly say this, he was also surprised: "Why did you mention Zhong alone?"

"You don't know that Zhong Yao once learned calligraphy from Cai Yong, and he was considered half of Cai Yong's disciple. Gongqi called Zhong Yao uncle in Chang'an because one of his wives was Cai Wenji. If Zhong Yao got involved, Gongqi would be very angry. The disaster of war in Yingchuan is just around the corner!"

Shi Tao thought for a moment and quickly stood up and told Liu Guangda to pack up. Zhao Mou quickly asked, Shi Tao said: "You still have the nerve to ask me where I'm going? Of course I'm going to escape. I'm going to Longzhong to farm. You handle this matter well. If you can't do it, just run away. Gong Qi is about to take action, and it will definitely be a thunderbolt."
