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

Chapter 261 Xiahou Dun brings the Emperor's edict, Luo Gongqi talks about other things

Xiahou Dun was confused by Luo Yuan's question, do you think he is not doing his job properly?

He understood after thinking about it that Luo Yuan was just trying to cover his mouth and didn't want to fight Liu Bei.

"I'm asking you to fight Liu Bei, not to fight Jiangdong. Why are you so anxious?"

Luo Yuan said: "Brother, I am not Meng De's subordinate, he can't order me like this!"

Xiahou Dun smiled slightly, he was well prepared.

How could I not be clear about Luo Yuan's virtue?

Pulling out a roll of yellow cloth from behind his buttocks, Xiahou Dun said proudly: "It's not the Prime Minister's intention, but the Emperor's intention. Look, this is the Emperor's imperial edict to you. It clearly states that you are to attack Jiangxia!"

I go!

Luo Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you know that the emperor is just a decoration? What authority can he have?"
What the hell is the emperor's intention? Do I need to care about the emperor's edict?

"Nonsense, how can the emperor's edict be hidden behind your butt!" Luo Yuan said deliberately. He didn't know how Xiahou Dun hid this thing in his butt!

Thinking about it, Luo Yuan took a few steps back, feeling that the imperial edict had a smell.

Xiahou Dun was totally unaware: "Gongqi, you must obey the emperor's will!"

"Forget it, I am a traitor. Is there any traitor who listens to the emperor? You are simply crazy. What's more, you actually took out the imperial edict from your butt crack. I am very suspicious."

Luo Yuan looked at Xiahou Dun and said politely: "Brother, since you are in Jiangling, why not take a good look around and eat anything you want!"

As long as we don't talk about such sensitive topics, we can still be good friends.

I'm very busy!
There are so many epic quests waiting for me to complete, and I also have to build a city. How can I have the mood to play with you?

Cao Cao can do whatever he wants, it has nothing to do with me.

Xiahou Dun was also speechless. He knew that Luo Yuan was not easy to deal with, but he did not expect Luo Yuan to reject him so directly.

Liu Bei is now slowly becoming more powerful in Jiangxia, and Xiahou Dun feels it necessary to strike a blow against Liu Bei, but Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang by his side.

Xiahou Dun did not dare to underestimate him this time. Seeing that Luo Yuan did not agree, he said, "Okay, I will send out the troops, and Gongqi, you will help me plan to deal with Zhuge Kongming. I am afraid you are the only one who can make Kongming lose. Let me defeat Kongming once!"

"Kong Ming is not easy to deal with!"

Luo Yuan sneered, you Three Kingdoms generals are really speechless, is victory or defeat so important?
Zhou Yu was like this, and so was Xiahou Dun.

I tell you, you have no future like this.

Luo Yuan thought about it and said, "Brother, Meng De asked you to go south to stabilize Jingzhou, especially Xiangyang, to prevent Liu Bei from seizing Xiangyang and winning over the people of Jingzhou. Don't make trouble and ruin Meng De's good deeds. Now all you have to do is eat and drink!"

Xiahou Dun glared: "I am a military commander, how can I eat and drink? Wouldn't it be pigs and dogs? Military commanders should make achievements. Gongqi, help me plan, how about I launch a surprise attack on Jiangxia?"

"No, Kong Ming and Liu Bei have already returned to Jiangxia. Why do you think they did that? Of course, they did it to deal with you. With Kong Ming's ability, he must have started preparing!" Luo Yuan said, "Win over the nobles, collect food and grass, forge weapons, and prepare for a decisive battle with Meng De next year. At this time, non-military actions can strike Liu Bei!"

Xiahou Dun saw Luo Yuan's analysis and said quickly: "Then I want to give Liu Bei some pain, what should I do?" "The nobles!" Luo Yuan spitted: "The Jingzhou nobles are the key. Doesn't Liu Bei need the support of the Jingzhou nobles? Doesn't Meng De need it? The Jingzhou nobles are worried about Meng De. If you want to mobilize troops at this time, they will only be more worried. You are warlike, which means Meng De is warlike. In the eyes of the Jingzhou nobles, your every word and action represents Meng De!"

"Liu Bei will definitely gather the nobles to serve him, you should also fight with Liu Bei to win the hearts of the nobles in Jingzhou." Luo Yuan took a sip of water and turned back to make tea. Drinking boiled water alone has no taste at all.

Luo Yuan said, "The gentry of Jingzhou has a large population and abundant resources, but because Liu Biao has just died, Cai Mao and others are incompetent and are shaken. They don't know what to do. At this time, brother should show magnanimity and appease the gentry. Have they given you a gift?"

"Of course I have this, but I don't want it."

"Why don't you want it?"

"How can I accept gifts privately?" Xiahou Dun said seriously. He was a general and he would not refuse any gift if it was not given by Cao Cao.

He was Cao Cao's die-hard supporter. Later, when Cao Cao became the King of Wei, he insisted on giving up his official position and asking Cao Cao to give him a new one. His current official position was given to him by Emperor Xian. He also created an allusion of not being a Han official.

"You are wrong. The nobles of Jingzhou are sending you gifts to seek peace of mind. If you don't accept them, they will definitely be uneasy and will be seduced by Liu Bei," Luo Yuan said. "If they don't want the gifts, doesn't it mean that Meng De is unwilling to accept them? Then why did they surrender to Meng De?"

"Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others dare?"

Xiahou Dun glared. If these two dared to have other thoughts, he would kill them.

Luo Yuan said, "Are they the only ones in Jingzhou? You are so reckless. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are just a branch of the Jingzhou nobles. Liu Biao had eight steeds under his command. You have visited them all. Many of them are talented. You should grant them official positions, make promises, and hold a big banquet. Only in this way can they feel at ease and firmly join Meng De!"

Xiahou Dun was stunned, and his face changed after thinking about it carefully. Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are trash, but that doesn’t mean that there is really no one left in Jingzhou.

Liu Biao had many famous and capable people under his command, including the Eight Horses of Jingzhou and countless other aristocratic families.

If he offended them all, how would Cao Cao survive in Jingzhou in the future?
"This... But I have offended many people. What should I do? Can Gongqi be saved?" Xiahou Dun looked at Luo Yuan anxiously: "You are my brother, you can't just stand by and watch him die. Help your brother think of a solution."

Xiahou Dun took a sip of water and spat it out. What the hell is this? Not even any wine?
"Brother, give me some wine!"

"You are not as poor as me. Drinking water is good for your health. You are a general, how can you drink alcohol? Drinking will cause trouble."

Xiahou Dun laughed and said, "Why not surrender to the Prime Minister? This way, brothers won't have to go without wine to drink!"

Pull it down!

The next year Meng De suffered a setback.

Even now Cao Cao is still making money from his porcelain. Should I join him?
"Brother, are you dreaming?"

"No, I'm sober!"

"That's it. Don't talk in your sleep if you're not dreaming!" Luo Yuan said with a smile, "Brother, you should go back and visit the nobles of Jingzhou now, treat them to a meal, and accept gifts. If you don't want them, you can give them to me!"

Pooh!
Xiahou Dun rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know if the gift is good, why would I give it to you as a gift?"

The gentry in Jingzhou were very generous. I didn't expect that not accepting their gifts would almost get me into trouble. The things between the gentry were really abnormal.

It’s just accepting gifts, everyone can do that, why do I need your help?
