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

Chapter 325: Life is all about clothes and food, Han Xuan is cunning and Kong Ming is plotting
Seeing Luo Yuanduo and Tao Shi being so patient, Xu Shu was also curious: "Why does the lord value Tao Shi?"

"First, they are the first Jiangdong noble family to cooperate with us. They can serve as role models. Second, the Tao family specializes in silk, unlike other Jiangdong noble families who seek personal gain and win over our people as soon as they come to Jiangling. Third, silk can help settle the livelihoods of the people."

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Life is just about having clothes and food, how can the Tao family be unimportant?"

A family like the Tao family poses no danger to Jiangling at all.

On the contrary, it can bring huge benefits to the advent.

How could Luo Yuan suppress Tao?

Xu Shu said: "Two hundred thousand mu of mulberry forest will produce countless silks in the future. I'm afraid Bashu and Jiangdong will not be satisfied."

Mainly Bashu!

Although Jiangdong produces silk, the silk from Jiangdong is not as good as that from Bashu. Now the silk from Bashu is recognized as a high-end product and is ridiculously expensive. It is also the most important export item of Bashu, which exchanges for a steady stream of supplies for Bashu.

"Do I need to care about what Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu think?" Luo Yuan didn't care at all. If they were dissatisfied, they could just eat him.

"Well-dressed man, since our Han is the place where silk is produced, if the common people can wear it, just imagine how magnificent it would be. As for Bashu's dissatisfaction, does Liu Zhang dare to attack me?"

Luo Yuan took a sip, chewed the tea leaves and swallowed them. "Before, when Guan Yu went to sell food, the Tong people blocked his way. I haven't questioned Liu Zhang why he didn't manage the population in his own territory. How can he be dissatisfied with me? Don't worry about it!"

Xu Shu smiled and said, I was just saying it, just to give you a reminder.

Come to think of it, there is really no need to worry about it. Liu Zhang is not capable of that.

"My lord, Han Xuan invites you to join the hunt in Jiangdong!" Xu Shu handed over a letter from Han Xuan, inviting Luo Yuan to attack Lukou together to avenge the last defeat to Zhou Yu!
Luo Yuan stared at him, thinking he was crazy.

What's going on with this guy?
What kind of brain is this? He actually wanted to fight Zhou Yu and even invited me to join him. Are their relationship good enough that they can send troops together and engage in military cooperation?
All-weather strategic alliance? How come I don’t know about it?
Luo Yuan couldn't understand what Han Xuan was doing, so he quickly asked Pang Tong to come over and study Han Xuan together.

What kind of mentality does this guy have?

Xu Shu said: "No matter how stupid Han Xuan is, he should know that provoking Jiangdong at this time is not a good decision, right?"

Pang Tong said with a smile: "If we can please Cao Cao, my lord, if we go out together, when Cao Cao goes south, Han Xuan can ask for credit from Cao Cao. My lord will not be able to refuse Cao Cao in the future. If we go out, we will make enemies with Jiangdong. Han Xuan can kill two birds with one stone!"

"You want to drag me down, I know." Luo Yuan said: "Shi Yuan said that he killed two birds with one stone, what is the other bird?"

"Changsha nobles, my lord has forgotten that Han Xuan is now the king and has been oppressing the Changsha nobles with cruel means. The Changsha nobles dare not speak out. How could he not know that the Changsha nobles are secretly in contact with us? Now he is launching an offensive against Jiangdong, on the one hand, to continue oppressing the nobles, and on the other hand, to let the nobles die on the battlefield and weaken their strength!"

Luo Yuan nodded. It made sense. He had not thought of this. Who would have thought that Han Xuan, that madman, had such an IQ?

But to be honest, this is a good method. When internal conflicts are serious, it can transfer internal conflicts to the outside. Isn't this how World War I and World War II happened?

Pang Tong frowned and said, "My lord, with Han Xuan's wisdom, he should not have thought of such a method. Why do I feel that it is similar to Kong Ming's?"

Xu Shu said: "Kong Ming is now in Jiangdong, busy persuading Jiangdong to resist Cao, how could he care about Han Xuan?" Pang Tong shook his head: "Kong Ming must be helping Han Xuan plan. There is Zhou Lang in Lukou, how can Han Xuan be his opponent? Kong Ming wants to alienate the relationship between us and Han Xuan. If the lord agrees to send troops, it will offend Jiangdong and let Han Xuan please Cao Cao. If we don't send troops, Han Xuan will definitely suspect that we want to target him, and the current situation will be ruined. I, Jiangling, can no longer live in peace and watch the situation. Kong Ming must know that the lord will not help Han Xuan fight Lukou. As long as we send Mi Zhu, Sun Qian and others to persuade Han Xuan, how can Han Xuan not be fooled? Maybe Han Xuan will come at us. After all, the first to strike is the strongest. Kong Ming only needs to tell Han Xuan that he can persuade Jiangdong not to attack Changsha, and Han Xuan will be tempted!"

Xu Shu was speechless with shock: "Han Xuan thinks he can defeat our army?"

Pang Tong sneered, "We only have 20,000 naval forces and 30,000 infantry in Jiangling, and Han Xuan has 200,000 men under his command. He doesn't know our combat power, and he might go crazy just by looking at the numbers. Now he is the King of Chu, and in the name of the King of Chu, he can make some noise by attacking Jiangling with the whole country. Doesn't it take time for our 50,000 to deal with 200,000? What Kong Ming wants is time, so that we don't help Cao Cao!"

Luo Yuan nodded and said, "So I also feel that it was Kong Ming who was plotting against me. He is really interesting. Am I so untrustworthy? I didn't put any obstacles in his way in Jiangdong."

Luo Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Han Xuan will definitely attack Lukou. This will help him to win the credit with Meng De in the future and he will definitely win the first battle!"

Pang Tong was shocked: "How is this possible? Zhou Lang is not a fool!"

"But if Zhao Yun goes out to fight, I'm afraid no one in Jiangdong can defeat him!"

Xu Shu stared in silence, why is Zhao Yun here again?

"My lord, do you suspect that Confucius and Mencius would let Zhao Yun help Han Xuan in the battle in order to contain us?"

"Otherwise, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu cannot move, and only Zhao Yun is left by your side. Han Xuan will definitely win the battle, and Zhou Lang will come to me for help. In this way, our relationship with Han Xuan will naturally be broken in advance," Luo Yuan said angrily.

At present, the Changsha gentry and Han Xuan have not yet become enemies, and the situation that Luo Yuan wants is far from being reached. It is not the time for Jiangling to send troops yet.

By doing this, Kong Ming destroyed Jiangling's planned strategy and made it clear that the Changsha nobles would kill Han Xuan again.

Luo Yuan looked at Pang Tong and said, "Shi Yuan, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again. Wuling and other prefectures and counties, contact Jin Taishou and encourage them to attack Changsha from behind. Jiangling will send you a gift!"

"Good!" Pang Tong's eyes lit up. This trick, stealing Han Xuan's hometown, all depends on diplomatic means.

Very difficult!

But he likes challenging things, which gives him a sense of accomplishment.

He doesn't even think highly of things that are not difficult.

Luo Yuan thought for a moment and looked at Xu Shu and said, "Xiahou Dun has always wanted to attack Xinye with Xu Zhu to form a pincer attack. Write a letter to Xiangyang. I will order Huang Zhong to march towards Baishui. He can contact Xu Zhu and Cao Ren's troops to form a pincer attack on Xinye. We can't let Kong Ming be so comfortable!"

Xu Shu whispered: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to see Uncle Liu in the future!"

"Let's talk about it later!"

Just refuse to admit it. If I don’t admit it, it never happened. Then Luo Yuan ordered the Jiangling navy to prepare for war and guard the Yangtze River.

It makes me angry just thinking about it. No one is peaceful. We have just had a few days of peace!
