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

Chapter 187 The beauty trap comes true, Feng Chu comes to visit

Luo Yuan and Huang Zhong were chatting, and actually they didn't really care what Cai Mao and the others wanted to do.

The initiative is on me!
Why bother? Now it is Cai Mao and Zhang Yun who are trying to please him.

Just as we were chatting, someone came in saying that an old friend was visiting!

Luo Yuan couldn't help but be curious, and when he saw the person coming, he immediately smiled. The person who came to see him was Pang Tong!

Pang Tong looked at Luo Yuan and asked, "Have you surrendered to Cao Cao?"

Luo Yuan is Cao Cao's son-in-law. This news is not a secret and has spread long ago.

"Cao Cao is a traitor to the country. Why did you join him? Are you here to help Cao Cao take Jingzhou this time?"

Luo Yuan asked, "Have you surrendered to Liu Bei?"

Counterattack!
Pang Tong shook his head: "I am just helping him temporarily, but I have not made him my lord."

Pang Tong looked a little uncomfortable and glanced at Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong hurriedly said, "My lord, let me look around!"

After the others left, Luo Yuan said, "Han Sheng is my confidant, there is nothing I can't tell him!"

"How should I know?" Pang Tong rolled his eyes at Luo Yuan, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Now you've made me look like a villain."

Pang Tong just wanted to complain to Luo Yuan that he was not having a good time with Liu Bei!
Liu Bei handed over all military and political affairs to Kong Ming. Although he valued him, he had no place for him to display his talents. Kong Ming made all the decisions!

He is a talented person who is no less capable than Kong Ming. What he needs is a platform to do his work.

But Liu Bei's stage was too small, and he trusted Kong Ming more, so he actually asked him to do odd jobs.

"Gongqi, you said I was used as a handyman, Uncle Liu doesn't know how to use people." Pang Tong said, "I heard that you were back, so I received the order from Uncle Liu and came to see you. Since you didn't surrender to Cao Cao, how did you become his son-in-law?"

"Cao Jie, you're a beauty. Is it wrong for me to love beautiful women?" Luo Yuan said.

What's wrong with me finding a wife?
Will this affect my ability to accomplish great things?

Pang Tong rolled his eyes and thought that it was a good thing that Luo Yuan did not defect to Cao Cao, otherwise Kong Ming and Liu Bei would have enemies.

"You come back, what are your plans this time?"

"Take Changsha! I am the Marquis of Changsha, conferred by the Emperor. Changsha is my fiefdom. How can it be occupied by Han Xuan?" Luo Yuan said with a smile, "Is Kong Ming afraid that I will take Changsha?"

"You and I both know that Changsha is a strategic location, and Jingzhou is a battleground. You must know what Kong Ming is planning. If you take Changsha, Kong Ming will definitely be furious and will probably want to beat you!"

"I'm not afraid of him," Luo Yuan said with a smile, "Changsha is not his. His name is on it. Whoever takes Changsha will own it. It depends on your ability. Is there any point in jumping up and down?"

Pang Tong laughed loudly: "I can help you. I know some of Han Xuan's men. I can help you."

"No need. You've been to Jiangxia before, so you should know my methods!"

Pang Tong sighed immediately. He had seen Luo Yuan's methods in Jiangxia. At that time, the people were very enthusiastic. They started construction everywhere, divided the land, and planted the crops. The people's spirits were different.

But after Liu Bei occupied Jiangxia, the people were not as active as when Luo Yuan was there.

Liu Bei returned a lot of land to the gentry.

A man as smart as Kong Ming should have been able to see how rich the legacy left by Luo Yuan was, but Liu Bei still took back a lot of land.

It dealt a heavy blow to the enthusiasm of the people.

It cannot be said that Jiangxia is bad now, but it is definitely not as prosperous as it was when Luo Yuan was there.

The vitality that could only be felt is gone.

Pang Tong and Liu Bei suggested not to change what Luo Yuan left behind, but Liu Bei did not listen and Kong Ming remained silent.

Pang Tong felt oppressed everywhere when he was with Liu Bei. He was a person who pursued freedom and was also a straightforward person. His words inevitably offended people, and Mi Zhu and others had a lot of opinions about him.

Luo Yuan looked at Pang Tong and smiled, "Want to follow me? I have more rules here!"

Pang Tong said angrily, "Don't be so proud. You sent someone to Jiangdong to ask for Sun Shangxiang, but Kong Ming has already sabotaged it. Zhao Yun and Sun Qian have already gone to Jiangdong with gifts. Sun Quan intends to form a marriage alliance with Liu Huangshu. I'm afraid your promise with the sachet will be cancelled!"

When Luo Yuan was in Chang'an, he sent Zhang Qiao to Jiangdong to serve as an outpost for him.

Pang Tong said: "Marry Sun Shangxiang, so that when you take Changsha, Jiangdong will not attack you. Do you think Kong Ming can't see it?"

"What's wrong with that?" Luo Yuan said with a smile, "When people ask me what my plans are for the future, I always say I want to take Changsha. When have I ever concealed my plans from others?"

"This is also what I am curious about. Why do you make such a secret public?" Pang Tong said.

Luo Yuan is not a fool, but a famous celebrity in the world. How could he not know that the secrets of the military and the state must be kept secret?

His own military goals were such an important secret, but Luo Yuan said this to everyone.

"I am an open and honest person!" Luo Yuan said with a smile.

You are so honest!
Pang Tong said seriously: "Han Xuanyin is already recruiting soldiers and has 200,000 troops under his command. They are already alert. It may not be easy for you to take Changsha. What do you want to do?"

"I want to take Changsha!"

"I don't believe it. You are so weird!" Pang Tong said angrily. He didn't even tell him. He felt that Luo Yuan had a conspiracy.

Taking Changsha might just be a cover, but no one knows Luo Yuan’s real goal.

If Luo Yuan doesn't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. Pang Tong was upset. Luo Yuan asked Huang Zhong to get some wine. Pang Tong complained while drinking: "Whenever Liu Huangshu has something to do, he always goes to Kong Ming, Kong Ming. It's as if I don't exist. It's really depressing!"

Unhappy, very unhappy!
Pang Tong felt that he was a superfluous person in Liu Bei's place.

"Fortunately, I didn't worship Liu Bei as my lord, otherwise I would be depressed to death"

Luo Yuan smiled and said, Liu Bei didn’t know how to use people. Without Kong Ming, he would be a rookie.

Kong Ming chose Liu Bei because Liu Bei was able to delegate power, but Kong Ming himself was a person who transferred power and wanted to be involved in everything.

Liu Bei's power is small now, so Kong Ming can still handle it. But when his power becomes huge in the future, Kong Ming will be exhausted.

There were few people under Liu Bei whom Kong Ming could trust.

Every hero has a sense of pride in his heart, thinking that he is the best in the world and everyone else is trash.

Kong Ming is no exception!

Once you get used to having power in your hands, it becomes less easy to trust other people’s abilities.

Pang Tong’s depression was that there could not be two tigers in one mountain, unless they were one male and one female.

How could someone who claims to be a great talent easily be subordinate to others?

Luo Yuan did not take the initiative to invite Pang Tong to join his camp. The power of one person could not change the overall situation at all, not to mention that the power he relied on was not the gentry.

The foundation is completely different from that of Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others.

Luo Yuan relies on the poorest people in the world. If Pang Tong cannot resonate with the lower class, he does not want such a talent.

You cannot consider yourself as part of the lower class people. Pang Tong is just Pang Tong.

Luo Yuan listened to Pang Tong's complaints without saying anything. Pang Tong got angry and said, "Are you mocking me for not being content?"

"No!"
