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

Chapter 267 Pang Shiyuan forged the Chu King's Seal, Han Xuan accidentally added the destiny

Luo Yuan thought so mainly because Han Yong was not very valuable.

In the future, he will be just a mascot. Han Yong has no military talent. If he cannot show his characteristics in other aspects, he will just be a rich man in the future.

There is absolutely no need to invest too many resources in such people.

Can’t you take Changsha without Han Yong?
Luo Yuan said: "I hope that Han Xuan can have a conflict with the Changsha nobles, preferably a bloody conflict rather than satisfying him. I have a lot of gold and silver in Jiangling, and there is no shortage of food, but I can't just give it to Han Xuan, just because of Han Yong?"

"It's not that the Changsha nobles don't have food, they just don't want to give it to Han Xuan"

It would be best if Han Xuan took action against the Changsha gentry, so that he could take less action and use more reason in the future.

Han Yong is totally incomparable to Changsha's future political landscape.

"Hoping that others are stupid and can't see it is a smart way, but we can't take chances!" Luo Yuan said
Think of another way to help Han Yong and also to stimulate the conflict between Han Xuan and the Changsha nobles. It's okay to make things bigger.

Pang Tong looked at the porcelain on Luo Yuan's table and thought for a moment, "Why not make something out of the porcelain?"

"How do you do it specifically?"

"My lord, you have already made a Nine-Dragon Jade Disk for the emperor. I wonder if you can make anything else?"

"for example?"

"How about the royal seal? Changsha originally belonged to the Chu territory. If the royal seal of Chu appears, Han Xuan will be overjoyed and want to become king." Pang Tong said: "By then, he will definitely want to be king. At that time, he will definitely extort more of the gentry, and then the lord's goal will be achieved!" Pang Tong said in a low voice.

,

Seal of the King of Chu?
That’s bullshit, just make it casually, Luo Yuan doesn’t care at all.

It just matters whether what Pang Tong said can succeed!
"What if Han Xuan doesn't become king?" Luo Yuan said.

"My lord, Han Xuan is also a local lord. How can he be willing to be inferior to others? I just don't have an excuse. If I get the seal of the King of Chu, Han Xuan will definitely think about it and spread rumors later. My lord, don't you want to go to Jiangdong?"

It was after Sun Jian obtained the imperial seal that he established his Jiangdong empire. The imperial seal inspired Sun Jian's entrepreneurial ambition.

Luo Yuan nodded: "Let's do this for now. In order to help relieve some of Han Yong's pressure, we can let the navy roam the other side of the river more and threaten Changsha!"

Xu Shu felt good, and then said: "The King of Chu must have obtained the bronze ware!"

Is that a problem?
Just burn it.

Pang Tong smiled and said, "I understand bird writing, I will make it!"

Bird script was once the popular writing system in the State of Chu. It looked like a bird. After Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the world and its writing system, the Chu script was no longer popular.

But Changsha was originally the territory of the Chu State, so the seal of the King of Chu must be in bird language.

Luo Yuan, Pang Tong and others had discussed it and decided to do it this way.

He immediately ordered Gan Ning and Wen Pin to walk more towards the other side when patrolling the river during the day. Within a few days, Pang Tong had burned a bronze seal.

Luo Yuan, you can't understand the words above at all!
The newly-made copper seal was golden and shining, and now was the time for Luo Yuan to show off his talents. He had people bury the copper seal in the soil and pay taxes and apply fertilizer every day.

Ten days later, a rusty bronze seal appeared.

Luo Yuan then ordered his men to send it to the other side of the Yangtze River for processing.

Changsha Prefecture Mansion.

Han Xuan was very depressed. After running back from Huang Zhong's men, his reputation plummeted and he clearly felt that the local nobles looked down on him.

He sent out an army of 150,000 to fight a fierce battle in Jiangdong, but ended up running back, unable to maintain his original reputation!
He didn't even dare tell anyone about the blackmail he was subjected to by Luo Yuan.

Fortunately, there was no widespread publicity in Jiangling.

When I gather the army again, maybe there will be a chance to turn the situation around.

Even if you can't turn the tables, you can feel safer with the army in your hands.

It’s nothing like now, when I always feel that the local nobles have ill intentions towards me.

He called Han Yong and asked about the progress of recruiting soldiers. "Sir, I am recruiting soldiers and discussing with the families, but they seem unwilling to send more soldiers and have made excuses to decline!" Han Yong said.

As expected, Han Xuan was not angry.

The last time he recruited troops, they were all from the local gentry. There were only a few free people in Changsha, and most of them were serfs of the gentry.

If you want an army, you need the support of the nobles.

The troops recruited last time have been used up and are needed now, so it is inevitable that the local gentry will have to consider it.

However, as long as it is on their own territory, the local gentry will have to bow their heads sooner or later.

"How is the collection of supplies and rations going?"

“We are also discussing it.”

I can understand that too!

It’s because I don’t have a good excuse to ask the army for food.

Han Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Now is a time of trouble. Jiangling Luo Yuan is eyeing us covetously. I recruited troops to protect Changsha. If I need to explain this to everyone, once Luo Gongqi comes, they can't live like this anymore."

"Yes, although the families are hesitant, they have not refused to send troops and money. It's just that they gave a lot last time, and now they are a little embarrassed. Wait a few days and there will be a reply!"

Han Xuan nodded: "If anyone objects, write it down and settle accounts with them later!"

Han Yong felt a little scared. Han Xuan wanted to kill someone again.

To settle accounts is to kill.

He didn't dare to say no and nodded quickly.

Wait a minute, and suddenly someone came in from outside, as if his wife had given birth to a child and said happily: "Sir, good news!"

Han Xuan was so angry when he saw the person coming in without notifying others that he wanted to kill someone. However, after hearing what the other person said, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

I can still have happy events after losing a battle.

The man said, "Prefect, today my servants were digging in the back garden and found an ancient seal. It looks very ancient, so it must be a treasure!"

There is such a thing.

Han Xuan couldn't believe it. After waiting for a while, a seal was placed in front of him. It was covered with rust and verdigris, and looked ancient. Han Xuan didn't recognize the words on it.

Han Yong said in a confused and exaggerated manner: "Sir, this is a big seal!"

Nonsense! Do I need to tell you?

Although I don't recognize the words on it, it seems that I can understand it.

"If the seal is issued by the prefectural governor's mansion, doesn't it mean that the prefect is rich and powerful? Could it be God's will?"

God willing?

Han Xuan was stunned and couldn't help but look up at the sky. Could it be that God was hinting at something?
He was also a scholar. Although he did not recognize the words on the seal, he saw that the size of the seal was larger than his own prefect's seal, and the bronze button on it was shaped like a phoenix.

This seal must have an extraordinary origin.

If I get it, it means I will be extraordinary.

But it’s really terrible that I don’t recognize the words above.

Han Yong said quickly: "There are many well-educated people among the local noble families, and the Liu family is of royal blood. They may know each other with their profound family knowledge. You can invite them to ask!"

Han Xuan was overjoyed and immediately asked someone to find Liu Lin, the patriarch of the Liu family.

The Liu family of Changsha was of Han Dynasty bloodline and had been passed down in the local area for hundreds of years. Liu Lin arrived very quickly and congratulated as soon as he saw the bronze seal: "This is the seal of the King of Chu!"
"Zimai, are you serious?"
