Chapter 24: Concern is a Power

As soon as she arrived in Jiangxia, she happened to catch Luo Yuan distributing grain. Sun Shangxiang thought that Luo Yuan was courting death. What would she do when the people had eaten all the grain?
But Luo Yuan had been distributing food for three days in a row, with no intention of stopping.
Seeing the endless crowds of people gathering outside the city, she felt that Luo Yuan was not far from death.

"How much food is left in Jiangxia?"

"Young Master should not have much left. In the past three days, they have not only distributed rice, but also fish, meat, and other wild vegetables. It is obvious that the rice has run out. It is said that the governor Liu Qi invited the local nobles to discuss the matter of borrowing grain yesterday!"

The Sun family of Jiangdong was also a noble family. Wu Guotai and Qiao Xuan were both prominent local families, so Sun Shangxiang was naturally well-informed.

"I, Guan Luoyuan, am waiting to be killed. Emperor Liu has no one under his command!" Sun Shangxiang's eyes lit up. "Send someone back to inform my brother that Jiangxia will be in chaos. This is the time for our army to capture Jiangxia!"

The woman immediately went out to deliver the letter!
The news from Jiangxia naturally reached Xinye. When Kong Ming heard about it, he shouted, "Jiangxia is in danger. Gongqi made a mistake."

Liu Bei was shocked. After Zhang Fei came back and brought news about Luo Yuan, he let Mi Zhu take his wife and son to Jiangxia to avoid the war!
Is this how Luo Gongqi plays?

Liu Bei said: "Military Advisor, please send someone to Jiangxia to ask Luo Gongqi to stop distributing grain!"

Kong Ming said: "It is too late. The people have already received the food. The people around are now heading to Jiangxia on their own initiative. There are hundreds of thousands of people. If Gong Qi stops distributing food now, the people will definitely riot!"

Guan Yu was furious: "Luo Gongqi has delayed our important plan, he deserves death!"

Zhang Fei glared at him, "Second brother, don't talk nonsense. Gong Qi is not that kind of person. I believe Gong Qi. It's just a trivial matter. You can't sit still. You are really not the kind of person who can handle big things."

To doubt Luo Gongqi is to doubt me, Zhang Yide!
As for Gongqi, I just believe in him. I personally participated in the battle to seize Jiangxia. Gongqi planned and I cooperated perfectly!'

Guan Yu was very unhappy to see Zhang Fei speaking for Luo Yuan: "Jiangxia is in danger now, the people are rioting, Luo Gongqi will die without a burial place, why are you still helping him, my third brother!"

Zhang Fei was not good at talking and could not win the argument with Guan Yu: "I just believe that Gongqi must be doing something big. I saw it when I came back. He deliberately asked me to come back. I will go back to help Gongqi. It is really boring to wait for Xiahou Dun here. It is not as lively as Gongqi's place!"

Seeing Zhang Fei was about to leave, Liu Bei hurriedly said, "Brother, be patient. Xiahou Dun is already building war equipment and will attack soon. We cannot do without you at this time. We should put Cao Cao first. Since Gongqi said he has a plan, then believe him!"

But your words don't show any sign of trusting Gongqi at all.

Zhang Fei hummed: "Although you said you believed in Gongqi, I could tell that none of you believed in Gongqi and thought he was dead. But I believed in Gongqi, and he was much more capable than the military advisor!"

Kong Ming's face twitched as he was hit by an arrow in the knee.

What do you think is the relationship between Luo Gongqi and me, Kong Ming?

Xinye is too far away from Jiangxia, and people like Liu Bei can't control Luo Yuan even if they want to.

Luo Yuan distributed grain just like playing a game, and won over 400,000 people.

Gan Ning would go up to the city gate every day to check on the people outside, fearing that they would rebel. "Gongqi, the people are running out of rice, and we are out of food too," Gan Ning said in a panic. Are we playing a game that will kill us?
Luo Yuan smiled and said, "It's a good thing, don't worry!"

"No, didn't you agree with Wen Pin to go get food in three days? Now ten days have passed, why haven't you gone yet?"

The time Luo Yuan and Wen Pin agreed upon had long passed.

Luo Yuan did not feel guilty at all. "We must fulfill our promises. Didn't we underestimate the people's support for us? There is a new situation. Let Wen Pin wait for a while. He will be fine, right? Who is more important, Wen Pin or the people? Of course, the people are more important!"

Gan Ning whispered, "Gongqi, I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel like you're harming Wen Pin."

"Hey." Luo Yuan leaned over and said, "How did you know that? Am I exposed?"

Gan Ning looked at Luo Yuan in shock, and couldn't believe it, "Are you really trying to harm Wen Pin?"

"Yes, you see, we distributed the food we stole from him to the people. Now the whole Jingzhou should know about it, even Prime Minister Cao knows about it. How could the people in Xiangyang not know about it? Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others must suspect Wen Pin. There are two results. Either we kill Wen Pin without asking any questions, or we don't kill him and let someone else take his place to guard Jiangling."

Luo Yuan said: "I think General Wen Pin has great talent and I like him very much. If Cai Mao wants to kill Wen Pin, Wen Pin will definitely rebel and have no choice but to join us. If we don't kill him, Cai Mao and others will no longer believe in him. If he wants to make a difference, he still has to join us!"

"Can't we take refuge in Jiangdong?"

"Sure, but who would trust a general who is secretly communicating with us?" Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Just like you. When you wanted to surrender to Sun Quan, weren't you also worried about whether he would believe you? Didn't you surrender to me? Anyway, no matter what Cai Mao wants to do, Wen Pin will either die or surrender to us in the end!"

Luo Yuan said with a smile: "If Cai Mao kills Wen Pin, the local nobles will definitely be dissatisfied with him. Wen Pin is a local, and the Wen family is also a local snake. Cai Mao doesn't have the guts to offend the local nobles, so we don't need to worry. It's Wen Pin who is anxious now!"

"You..." Gan Ning swallowed his saliva and looked at Luo Yuan hissing, you are so vicious!

After all, Wen Pin has helped us before, and you are really rude to him when you try to cheat him!

"Gongqi, our military rations were provided by General Wen. Wouldn't it make him feel disappointed if you do this?"

"What does it have to do with me!" Luo Yuan laughed and said, "The ones who suspect him now are Cai Mao and those people in Xiangyang. They have nothing to do with one of us. Don't overthink it. The 100,000 troops I asked you to choose have been chosen!"

Luo Gongqi, you are really not a human being. Gan Ning felt terrified just thinking about it. However, when he thought that he and Luo Yuan were on the same side and he didn't have to be plotted against by Luo Yuan, Gan Ning felt very happy!
"They have been selected. According to your requirements, we are looking for people with families. Why must these people be selected?" Gan Ning didn't quite understand!
There are a huge population outside the city now, but Luo Yuan has set a rule that he only wants men with families and does not want any others.

Luo Yuan doesn't want a single hunk like Zhang Shi.

Luo Yuan said: "Caring is a force that is stronger than thousands of troops. In such a chaotic world, a man can still wander around with his wife, children, and the elderly. Such people are the best warriors. They will be willing to fight for the only glimmer of hope. I just need to point them in the direction, and they will attack the place I want!"
